"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle and Third Aunt." Ye Qingqing poured wine for Lu Jiangang and his wife, raising her glass with a smile.
"Congratulations! We're so happy to finally be able to drink your wedding wine! We wish Amo and Qingqing a healthy baby soon, so we can become grandparents!" Lu Jianfeng and Hao Aihua were genuinely delighted, and their son Lu Qingxi was also there.
Lu Qingxi resembles his mother, Hao Aihua, with delicate features and a gentle demeanor. He always has a shy smile on his face. His major in college was related to finance. Lu Jianfeng and his wife hoped that he would take the postgraduate entrance examination, but Lu Qingxi himself was not interested in it. He wanted to start working and earning money as soon as possible.
After talking with him, Lu Mo sent him to the company's sales department. He had joined a year earlier than Xi Murong and had already passed his probation period, so he was a full-fledged salesman. His performance was considered above average in the sales department, and he could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. Lu Jianfeng and his wife were very surprised. Their combined salary was only two or three thousand yuan. Their son earned more in two months than they did in a year!
"Now we just have to wait to drink Qingxi's wedding wine," Ye Qingqing joked.
Lu Qingxi blushed and said, "I have a long way to go. I should focus on my career first and achieve something before thinking about anything else."
"You're not young anymore. You can pursue your career and love life at the same time. Your older brother's marriage was arranged by your mother when he was still in her womb. You'd better hurry up," Hao Aihua joked.
"That's because you didn't fulfill your responsibilities, Mom. If you had the foresight of my aunt, I would have married my wife long ago." Lu Qingxi, being a saleswoman, was quick-witted and immediately retorted.
Hao Aihua was speechless for a moment, and angrily slapped her son hard, saying, "You have such a silver tongue, yet you can't win back your wife."
Ye Qingqing found it amusing and deliberately said, "Third Aunt, don't worry. There are many young girls in the company who like Qingxi. They've been secretly asking for his phone number and even passing him notes. Maybe Qingxi will bring you a daughter-in-law someday."
"Really? Is he that popular?" Hao Aihua was not quite convinced.
"Of course it's true, brother, am I right?" Ye Qingqing nudged Lu Mo.
Lu Mo nodded. "It's alright, it's quite popular."
Hao Aihua was delighted and planned to have a private talk with Ye Qingqing to see if there were any good girls among those young women who could be recommended to her son. With more men than women these days, the competition for wives was too fierce, so they had to act early to have a chance!
"Big brother, I wish you and Qingqing a son soon." A female voice suddenly rang out; it was Lu Qinghua, whom everyone had forgotten.
After graduating from nursing school, this young woman became a nurse at Yue Hongxia's hospital. It was a pretty good job; as long as she worked hard, her future would definitely be bright, and finding a partner wouldn't be a problem. In Pingjiang, girls who are nurses or teachers can generally find good partners.
Unfortunately, Lu Qinghua couldn't sit still. She couldn't take it after less than a year. She said that being a nurse meant working long hours, and that it was dirty and tiring. Without even discussing it with her family, she resigned. Yue Hongxia and her husband were furious and wanted to go to the hospital to plead for her to come back. But there were countless people eyeing Lu Qinghua's position. As soon as she resigned, someone else would immediately fill the spot. How could they possibly squeeze her in?
Yue Hongxia wanted her grandfather to intercede on her behalf, but he disapproved of his granddaughter and was too lazy to get involved. She then went to Lu Mo, but Lu Mo also refused to help. He said that his cousin was all talk and no action, and even if he pleaded for her to be taken back, she wouldn't work properly. He wanted her to go out into the world and experience hardship first, otherwise she would never settle down.
Lu Qinghua was full of confidence and felt that she was invincible. However, the harsh reality dealt her a heavy blow. Now she can only work in a private clinic, which is more arduous, dirty, and tiring than her previous job in the hospital. The salary and benefits are also much worse. This girl really regrets it.
