Seeing someone praising him, Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, grandma. My sister is also very smart. She is not only smart but also very beautiful."
Lu Yilan felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Liang Jie timidly and then shrank back behind Lu Yiming.
Lu Fengnian waved at her, "Lanlan, call someone. This is Grandpa Chen, that is Grandma Liang, and there are also Aunt Yuhe and Aunt Yuhua."
Lu Yilan came out shyly, bowed to the Chen family, and called out, "Hello, grandpa and grandma, hello, aunts."
Chen Jizhong chuckled, "This child is very sensible."
Liang Jie agreed, "She looks very well-behaved too."
Lu Jin was serious, so Lu Ting quickly greeted him, "Uncle and aunt, please sit down and have a cup of tea!"
Su Yan first went back to the kitchen and brought out a plate of watermelon, then put it down and went back to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law bring out the dishes.
Only after the dishes were served and the Chen family was invited to take their seats did he have the chance to take a serious look at the Chen family's daughter.
The two daughters behind Chen Jizhong look somewhat similar and are about the same age.
If her son hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have been able to tell who Lu Jin was going on a blind date with today.
Looking again, it was clear that Chen Yuhe was indeed as shy and timid as her son had said, and she didn't even dare to look Lu Jin in the face.
This is interesting. These two taciturn people are together. I guess they can’t even have a quarrel, right?
At the dinner table, Chen Jizhong asked Lu Jin if his work was hard. Lu Jin said it was okay. Then he asked him what his interests and hobbies were. Lu Jin replied that he read books and wrote articles.
When Liang Jie heard that Lu Jin liked to write, she asked him what he had written. Lu Jin went back to his room and took out some of his previously published novels and essays.
Chen Yuhe's eyes suddenly lit up. Su Yan nudged Lu Ting and whispered in his ear, "Look."
Lu Ting smiled but said nothing. He knew that Lu Jin had hope of getting married. He didn't know whether Lu Jin liked the girl from the Chen family, but the fact that the girl liked Lu Jin was written on her face.
Sure enough, after the meal, the two families sat down to discuss the betrothal gift and marriage. The betrothal gift was still the same 400 yuan as before, but they didn't plan to hold a wedding banquet this time. In addition to buying a watch for the woman, they also bought her a radio and two new sets of clothes.
The betrothal money was paid by his parents-in-law, and Lu Jin paid for the watch and radio himself.
Su Yan didn't know what to say about her parents-in-law helping Lu Jin pay the betrothal money twice. What could she say when the money was in her parents-in-law's pockets?
A harmonious family is the key to success, so there is no need for her to argue with them over a few hundred dollars.
Moreover, she also knew that Lu Jin had just started working, and his previous savings and royalties had probably been almost spent in the past few years. If he had to pay the betrothal money himself, he would probably have a hard time in the future.
After the Chen family left, Lu Fengnian asked Lu Jin, "What do you think of that girl?"
"Dad, you guys have already agreed on the bride price, and now you're asking me about that girl? I haven't been alone with her yet."
"When you have a chance to spend time together in the future, you must trust your mother and me. That girl is not bad. At least her character is better than Zhu Ting's."
When Lu Jin mentioned Zhu Ting, he became discouraged. "The marriage is already settled. As long as she treats Lanlan well, I have no objection."
"As a husband, you must first treat her well, and then she can treat your daughter well. Life is a mutual one."
Hua Min agreed, "Xiao Jin, your father is right. Yu He looks good. She's getting married for the first time and has never been in a relationship, let alone had children. She's already at a disadvantage following you. You have to treat her well, and then she'll treat Lan Lan well."
"knew."
Lu Yilan looked at Hua Min pitifully, "Grandma, if she treats me badly, can I choose another aunt?"
"Lanlan, Aunt Yuhe will be your mother from now on. As she is your mother, she will naturally treat you well."
"Oh, and where is my own mother? Why doesn't she want me?"
The Lu family looked at each other in bewilderment. Where was Zhu Ting? Of course, she was in the northwest. I heard she was having a very hard time on the farm and had been raped.
Lu Fengnian was shocked when he learned about this, but he did not tell Lu Jin. Now that his granddaughter Lu Yilan came to ask, it was even less likely that he would tell her.
"Okay, Lanlan, you'll have a new mother in the future, and she'll treat you well. Xiaojin, Xiaoyan, it's getting late, you should hurry back to the hospital and go back to work."
Su Yan looked at her watch and saw that it was indeed very late. She said to Lu Jin, "Let's go. It's only twenty minutes."
Lu Jin didn't want to talk to his parents about the Chen family girl anymore, so he stood up and rushed out of the house. The two of them hurriedly rode their bicycles to the hospital and parked their bicycles in the bicycle shed.
Seeing Lu Jin's gloomy face, Su Yan said, "Lu Jin, the marriage has been decided, so don't think too much about it. Many people get married without even meeting each other. Although Miss Chen has never been to college, I think she has some scholarly airs.
This girl heard you'd published an article, and her eyes lit up, showing she admires you immensely. Don't look down on her just because she doesn't have a job and hasn't even attended college."
"Sister-in-law, I don't look down on her. I'm just a little uncomfortable with being suddenly arranged to marry her."
"Everyone's marriage is arranged by their parents and matchmaker. Look at your brother and me. Our parents have the final say, and we live happily together.
You were the one who dated Zhu Ting, but she ended up leaving you for such a small matter. My parents have a good impression of Miss Chen, so stop worrying about it and just live your life well!
Lu Jin nodded and strode towards the hospital. Su Yan didn't know whether he listened to her or not, but she had a good impression of Chen Yuhe.
At least that girl didn't look like a willful and capricious person. As long as she wasn't willful and capricious and selfish, everything would be fine. So what if she didn't have a job? There were many unemployed military wives in the family compound.
