Chapter 181 Preparing for the Engagement Banquet
Jian Qingyi was so annoyed by the man that she finally nodded.
Seeing her nod in agreement, Lu Yujing happily hugged her.
"Wife, you will be my wife from now on." Lu Yujing's voice was full of excitement.
When Jian Zhongliang in the living room heard his yell, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He had not been very optimistic about this marriage before, but now that things had come to this, he could only hope that the two would get married soon.
Otherwise, given how close those two are to each other, trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later.
When Aunt Li, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Lu Yujing's words, she also smiled.
The old lady had been looking forward to holding her great-grandson, and now she has it.
The day after tomorrow is the engagement day, and relatives, friends, and neighbors have to be notified. At the moment, Jian Zhongliang didn't have the heart to care about the two people who were being affectionate in the small room, so he got up and went out.
He had taken three days off to accompany his daughter for the college entrance exam, and now he had to prepare for her engagement party...
He raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
5:30
Director Wu should go to the production workshop at this time.
Jian Zhongliang walked towards the production workshop.
The production workshop is located to the right front of the candy factory gate. Jian Zhongliang has something on his mind, so he takes big steps.
In about ten minutes, he arrived at a production workshop of the candy factory, which was the one that Jian Zhongkang was in charge of.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the production workshop, he ran into Director Wu who was out for inspection.
"Zhongliang, didn't you take leave to accompany Yi Yi to take the college entrance examination?" Director Wu was a little surprised to see him appear here.
Jian Zhongkang, who was busy in the workshop, heard this and walked out quickly.
"Yeah, Zhongliang, didn't you accompany Yi Yi to the college entrance examination? How did you find time to come over?"
The other workers in the workshop pricked up their ears instantly.
"I... am... here to ask for leave." Jian Zhongliang was somewhat unable to say it.
I just took three days off, and I haven't even returned to work yet, and I'm asking for leave again.
"What happened?" asked Director Wu.
Living in a family compound, he knew a little about Jian Zhongliang's temper and character. If there was nothing important, he would definitely not have said this.
"Before, the kid from the Lu family kept clamoring to get a marriage certificate. Since Yi Yi had to take the college entrance examination, we said we would wait until the exam was over. Today, as soon as the exam was over, the kid came to our door..." Jian Zhongliang sighed.
Director Wu burst out laughing.
Jian Zhongkang couldn't help laughing either.
We all grew up together, how could we not know what Lu Yujing was thinking?
The workers in the workshop exchanged glances frantically.
"Have you set a date?" Director Wu asked with a smile.
"The day after tomorrow." Jian Zhongliang said a little uncomfortably.
"So urgent?!" Director Wu laughed even more happily.
I don't want to wait even one more day.
"Only one day to prepare, is that too fast?" Jian Zhongkang smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"The kid from the Lu family said that he would hold two engagement banquets, one in Nancheng and one in Jingshi, so as to save relatives and friends from traveling back and forth." Jian Zhongliang said truthfully.
"That's indeed an idea. We need to inform relatives and friends as soon as possible." Jian Zhongkang nodded.
"Have you decided where to do it?"
"Pengju Restaurant."
Jian Zhongliang then looked at Director Wu and said, "Brother Wu, remember to come early with your sister-in-law, nephew, and nieces."
"Okay! We'll go help you as soon as it gets light." Director Wu agreed with a smile.
The relationship that he could never even dream of was right in front of him. If he couldn't grab it, the ancestors of their Wu family would crawl out from the ground and slap him in the face.
"Thank you, Brother Wu." Jian Zhongliang said hurriedly.
"Oh, by the way, I guess I'll have to stay another day tomorrow."
"It's okay. Yi Yi's engagement is a big deal and needs to be handled well. If you need help, just let us know. Your sister-in-law, niece, and nephew are all at home. Don't be polite with us." Director Wu was very easy to talk to.
"Brother Wu, I..." Jian Zhongkang just opened his mouth.
Director Wu immediately said, "You can go and help with the arrangements tomorrow. I'll just keep an eye on the factory."
That's so considerate.
After asking for leave, Jian Zhongliang turned around and informed Jian Dashan and Mao Chunqiao.
By the way, I also called Jian Zhonglan.
Before it got dark, the news that Jian Qingyi and Lu Yujing were getting engaged the day after tomorrow spread throughout the candy factory's staff quarters.
"Have you heard that Jian Zhongliang's daughter is getting engaged to that guy?"
"I heard that those people were saying that it would never work out, but now they're getting engaged."
"I heard that people hold two engagement ceremonies, one in Nancheng and one in Jingshi."
"Do you know why they have to hold two events?" A young wife rolled her eyes at the gossipy people in the family compound.
"Because they have money!" someone spoke up immediately.
When they get engaged here, the man and woman's families have a meal together, and then the man buys the woman two sets of clothes and a watch.
There are very few families that organize an event as lavishly as the Jian family.
"Even if we have money, we can't hold two parties! I think the man's family must think that people from our small place are not presentable, and they don't want the relatives of the Jian family to embarrass them, so they said to hold it separately." The young wife sneered.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the gossipy women changed.
Some even laughed out loud.
"That's what I was saying. Who would hold two engagement parties?"
"If that's the case, then Jian Zhongliang's daughter won't get anything good from marrying him!"
"What kind of family are they? What kind of family are they? It would be strange if they could get anything good from them!"
"Don't tell me, Jian Zhongliang's daughter has been with that guy for half a year, and the Lu family hasn't even shown up. Maybe they don't like her at all..."
After all the speculations from the gossips, Jian Qingyi became a poor little person who was disliked by the Lu family.
Just early on the third day, about twenty cars and a heavy truck drove into the candy factory's staff compound.
Leading the way was Mr. Lu’s exclusive car.
The people in the family compound had never seen such a big scene before. Everyone held their children tightly, for fear of bumping into the newcomers.
Even Director Wu was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Jian Dashan and Mao Chunqiao, who rushed over after hearing the news, became so nervous when they saw the situation in the yard that their hands and feet became uncontrollable.
Walking with hands and feet together.
Especially the olive green next to the car, which is really stressful.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Jian Zhongliang was still so nervous that his whole body was stiff.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, this is my grandpa, grandma, my dad, my mom..." Lu Yujing introduced them to everyone with a serious expression.
By the time Jian Qingyi went downstairs, the relatives on both sides had already exchanged all the necessary courtesies.
Seeing her granddaughter-in-law coming down, Mrs. Lu smiled so much that two more wrinkles appeared on her face.
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt..." Jian Qingyi didn't know the others, so she could only greet those she knew.
