Now that the betrothal gifts have been formally presented, the wedding date for Lu Yuan and Qian Duoduo naturally needs to be put on the agenda. As for the specific date of the wedding, Lu Yiheng subconsciously turned to look at Lu Yuan, because he knew very well that the nature of Lu Yuan's work meant that he couldn't arrange his personal schedule at will.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "How about we set it for a month from now? I have a vacation before then, but after the vacation ends, I'll probably have to join the project team for closed development. I don't know when I'll be able to come out again." As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Qian Duoduo beside him with some anxiety, his eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo first gently bit her lip and pondered. After finishing her exams here, she would definitely need to follow up on matters in Shangzhi. The Northeast was closer to Beijing, making it easier to get there. Then, she looked up at Lu Yuan, smiled, nodded, and said softly, "Alright, then let's do it a month from now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was overjoyed and excited like a child. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and hugged Qian Duoduo tightly, then happily spun around in the spacious main room.
This sudden action startled the four elderly people present. They stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking utterly astonished.
However, Lu Yuan, who was immersed in joy, didn't care about any of this. He only knew that he had waited so many years and now he could finally bring his beloved beautiful bride home!
Seeing this, Wen Ya, who was standing to the side, quickly turned to look at Jin Jinxiu, secretly worried that she would think her son was too reckless and impulsive. However, when she noticed the expression on Jin Jinxiu's face, the weight in her heart finally lifted.
Although Jin Jinxiu was also somewhat surprised by Lu Yuan's actions, her expression showed no sign of objection. It seems this young man has certainly been putting on a good show and currying favor with his mother-in-law these past few years in Northeast China!
Lu Yiheng and his group stayed at Lu's house for one night. After tasting Jin Jinxiu's cooking, Wen Ya also realized that Qian Duoduo's good cooking skills were hereditary.
Lu Yiheng clinked glasses with Qian Sheng and said, "Father-in-law, when we were here before, we were all able to survive thanks to your family."
Qian Sheng sighed, slapped his thigh, and said, "When your family came here, we were all very nervous. Although the county asked us to do political activities, we thought that everyone had a hard time, so we should save as many opportunities as possible. If the higher-ups came to inspect, we would just deal with it."
Lu Yiheng nodded. In the past few years in Qianshan Village, although he had worked in the fields during spring planting and autumn harvest, it was a matter for the whole village. In winter, they would just feed the cattle and clean up in the cowshed. As for political activities, there were really not many.
That period was the darkest moment of his life, but it was also his salvation, because Qian Sheng, as the brigade leader, had absolute authority in Qianshan Village. Moreover, he was kind and didn't make them suffer much.
Secondly, the villagers of Qianshan Village never showed them any malice. Finally, the younger members of the Qian family provided them with clothing and food, ensuring they had enough to wear and saving their lives.
What's even more remarkable is that the Lu family maintained a humble attitude even after their rise to prominence, which Lu Yiheng found truly admirable. It's said that raising a child depends on the parents, and the Qian couple's approach to their child's upbringing was already enough to make Lu Yiheng value Qian Duoduo highly, not to mention that Qian Duoduo herself was already quite outstanding.
The next morning, Qian Duoduo packed her things and returned to Harbin with Lu Yiheng and his wife and Lu Yuan.
Although Jin Jinxiu was a little reluctant, she calmed down a lot when she thought that the old maid would be back in a couple of days.
The Lu Yiheng couple took Qian Duoduo to the small courtyard she bought near Northeast Agricultural University, where she sat for a short while before heading to the airport.
As Qian Duoduo watched Lu Yiheng and his wife's car drive away, she reached up and touched her chin, saying, "When I have money, I'll buy a car too."
Hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Lu Yuan chuckled and pinched her little nose, saying, "You silly girl, you're just being mischievous. You don't have any money? You're much richer than me now."
Qian Duoduo glanced around to make sure no one was watching, shook her head, glared at him, then reached out and lifted Lu Yuan's chin, saying, "What? Trying to live off your sister?"
Lu Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo, who had a flirtatious look in her eyes, and placed his hands on her waist, saying with great interest, "As long as Sister Duoduo is willing to support me, what's wrong with being a kept man?"
Qian Duoduo's lips curled up into a sly smile. She gently shook Lu Yuan's head and said coquettishly, "Hmm, you're quite good-looking, just what I like!" Her gaze roamed freely over Lu Yuan's body before she commented, "Look at that figure, he's the kind of guy who looks slim in clothes but has muscles underneath! Those long, slender legs look so strong."
At this point, Lu Yuan suddenly patted his chest and proudly exclaimed, "I'm a man with eight-pack abs!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo was not surprised at all. Instead, she curled her lips indifferently, crossed her arms, and replied with a grin, "You say eight yuan, so it's eight yuan? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so who knows if it's true? But... I can check it myself!" Before she finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed at Lu Yuan's clothes.
This sudden action startled Lu Yuan, who jumped back more than a meter like a frightened rabbit. His eyes were playful, but his face was innocent. He called out, "Sister Duoduo, it's broad daylight, we should be more reserved!"
However, Qian Duoduo remained unmoved, still staring at him with a mischievous grin, and pressed him further, saying, "Hmph, now you're pretending to be an innocent boy? Come here and let your big sister take a good look!"
Lu Yuan, acting like a submissive wife, stepped forward, grabbed Qian Duoduo's wrist, and pulled her into the bedroom with lightning speed.
After entering the room, Lu Yuan stood still, facing Qian Duoduo, and said in a gentle tone, "Sister Duoduo, do you want to see?" After speaking, he slowly raised his hands and began to unbutton his shirt one button at a time.
As the buttons were undone one by one, Qian Duoduo's eyes were drawn to his prominent Adam's apple and delicate collarbone, followed by his slightly protruding, muscular chest and his healthy, tanned skin.
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but swallow hard. Just as Lu Yuan was slowly untying the fourth one, Qian Duoduo grabbed his hand and said, "Well, let's not check in broad daylight."
