Chapter 525 Engagement
"My mother is never happy." Lu Jingyou didn't understand his mother at all. She was unhappy at the slightest thing, as if everyone had wronged her, and it had become more and more excessive in the past two years.
He is almost thirty years old. Why would his mother-in-law be unhappy even if he stays at her house for a few more days?
"People tend to be closer to their children when they get older. She wants to spend more time with you. You either work in the suburbs of Beijing or go to Jinyuan when you come back. She feels lost." Lu Jiahe still understands Lin Manli. "Think about it, your mother is such a strong-willed person, she must have her own ideas."
"When I needed her as a child, she ran around everywhere. Now when she needs me, I have to accompany her every day?" Lu Jingyou didn't mean to ignore his mother, but Lin Manli was only in her early fifties, in good health, and not old enough to need his care.
He also didn't understand why his mother had so many ideas. Even if the company went bankrupt now, the money his father earned was enough for her to spend.
She could just drink tea, chat with others, and live a leisurely life instead of causing trouble for others all day long.
"You have to understand, she is probably in menopause." After hearing Lu Jingyou say this, Lu Jiahe stopped talking, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lu Jingyou was no longer sleepy. He lay in bed and sent a text message to Su Jiaojiao, asking her if she was awake yet and saying that he would pick them up later.
Su Jiaojiao talked about it, and said that her mother was preparing breakfast at home and asked him and his father to go home for breakfast.
Lu Jingyou agreed and said they would go there soon.
Zhao Shunfa originally lived in the same suite with him. Zhao Shunfa was worried that no one had to feed the dog at home, so he stayed there for one night and then went back, saying that he would come earlier today.
Chen Guilan knew that Lu Jiahe was leaving in the evening and had no time to prepare a family dinner to entertain him, so she could only prepare breakfast.
She got up before five o'clock, and made wontons and buns with Xu Yue'e, and fried some vegetables, filling the table.
The only advantage of staying in her hometown is that she can face any problems together with her second brother's family and not be isolated and helpless.
Lu Jiahe is a man who likes to show off. As soon as he enters the house, he says thank you to his in-laws for their hard work and praises Chen Guilan for her cooking skills. He is often scolded in front of Mr. Lu, but he is still very cheerful outside.
Lu Jingyou introduced him to Chen Guisheng's family. He learned that Chen Juan was Su Jiaojiao's cousin and was getting married in two days. He generously gave Chen Juan a red envelope and said, "Uncle wishes you a happy wedding and everlasting happiness."
Chen Juan didn't expect Lu Jiahe to give her a red envelope and was embarrassed to accept it.
Although Chen Guisheng was a farmer, he was not shy in front of Lu Jiahe, who was dressed in a suit and tie. "Your Uncle Lu gave you this, so just take it. Thank you, Uncle Lu."
"Thank you, Uncle Lu." Chen Juan had no choice but to take it. She quietly counted it. Six hundred yuan was too much. She turned around and gave it back to Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao insisted that she accept it. "Just take it. Don't worry about it."
Lu Jiahe gave Xiao Suisui another red envelope, and Xiao Suisui happily accepted it: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."
The two red envelopes brought them closer together, and Chen Guisheng and Lu Jiahe got along very well. Chen Guisheng said that he bought a boat before the New Year and planned to go fishing with Zhao Shunfa during the slack season.
Lu Jiahe was very interested when he heard this and asked if he could go today. Chen Guisheng calculated the tide and said yes, and if he had time, he would take him there to play.
After the meal, Lu Jiahe prepared to change his flight ticket, saying that after lunch, he wanted to go fishing on the sea with Chen Guisheng.
"Dad, don't you have things to do back home?" Lu Jingyou felt that it was too much trouble for Chen Guisheng. "Sister Juan is getting married in two days, and there are still many things to do at home. Let's do it next time!"
"Xiao Lu, your father has finally come, stay and play!" Chen Guisheng had originally planned to invite them father and son back to the village for dinner in the evening, but he didn't expect Lu Jiahe to leave in the evening.
Chen Juan and Zhao Shunfa's wedding was not held in the village, and he had already made all the necessary preparations.
On the day of Chen Juan's wedding, they needed to prepare breakfast to entertain the people who came to pick up the bride. Except for the bridesmaid Su Jiaojiao who needed to follow Chen Juan's wedding car to Zhao Shunfa's house, they would not go with her.
"Then I will obey your command." Lu Jiahe was very happy. He had never fished at sea before!
Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou looked at each other and smiled helplessly. If Mr. Lu knew about this, he would definitely scold him. He came here to get engaged and should leave after finishing his business.
In order to go out and have fun, he even changed his itinerary.
Just after finishing the meal, Chen Jiang and Liang Kun came. They drove over to ask if there was anything they needed to bring to the hotel.
Chen Guilan said that Lu Jingyou was also driving, and they were responsible for taking Chen Guichang and his family there.
Liang Kun was very surprised when he saw Lu Jingyou. He had met Lu Jingyou before, but he didn't expect that Su Jiaojiao's partner was Mr. Lu from Jiahe Group.
Thinking of those long-ago events, he felt a little embarrassed, but he soon felt relieved. The girl who had given him warmth on a rainy night should have such an excellent man to protect her.
Lu Jingyou didn't know about the past between Liang Kun and Su Jiaojiao. He enthusiastically followed Su Jiaojiao in calling Liang Kun "cousin". He and Chen Jiang had had a drink together and were also acquaintances. The three of them exchanged a few words and then drove to Guolv.
Everyone was there before eleven o'clock.
Chen Mei, Chen Ju and Liang Kun's wife Peng Shumei all brought their children. The three children were wearing new clothes and, led by Xiao Suisui, were running around, chasing and playing.
Lu Jiahe was addicted to giving out red envelopes. He gave a red envelope to each of the three children. When he learned that Cheng Yu was the new daughter-in-law, he also gave Cheng Yu a red envelope.
Everyone thanked her repeatedly and secretly envied Su Jiaojiao for finding a good family. The betrothal gift of 66,000 yuan plus three golds was a very high standard in the local area.
Moreover, Lu Jiahe also gave them red envelopes, one red envelope was one hundred yuan, so he gave them four hundred yuan right away.
Chen Guichang and Wang Yunying both felt that Lu Jiahe was not only rich but also very capable, so they warmly invited him to their homes for dinner in the evening.
Lu Jiahe said that he went fishing in the village with Chen Guisheng in the afternoon, and next time he went to their house, he would easily take control of the situation.
The cousins' engagement banquets were all held at home. Su Jiaojiao and Chen Guilan wanted to make it a family dinner, so they didn't prepare any speeches on stage. They just said a few words of thanks for coming when they toasted.
The three families temporarily put aside their previous grievances and ate and chatted happily, congratulating Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou on their engagement.
Lu Jingyou was polite and low-key. He poured tea and wine for the elders courteously, and from time to time he served drinks, cigarettes and toasts to his cousins' husbands at another table. His two uncles kept praising Su Jiaojiao for finding a good partner.
Wang Jianming, Liu Fucheng and Zhao Shunfa are all brothers-in-law, and Chen Jiang and Liang Kun are cousins. In front of their elders, they were too embarrassed to make a fuss and concentrated on enjoying the food.
Chen Guilan was generous and ordered a wedding banquet of the national travel standard, which cost 1,500 yuan per table. The dishes included lobster, abalone, sea cucumber, crab, etc., and they were full of praise for every dish.
Especially Chen Jiang and Liang Kun, they are also responsible for preventing the Su family from causing trouble.
In fact, Su Houli didn't come at all.
The news he received was that Su Jiaojiao was getting engaged the day after tomorrow, so he even took a leave of absence to attend his daughter's engagement party.
After the banquet, Lu Jiahe really followed Chen Guisheng back to Wutong Village.
As soon as he got on the boat, he received a call from Mr. Lu. When Mr. Lu learned that he was actually fishing at sea, he was really angry: "You are old, don't you know the truth that if the guests don't leave, the host will not be at peace? Why did you have to fish today when there is no other time? Do you have any future? Come back to me quickly."
In front of Chen Guisheng, Lu Jiahe was embarrassed to say that he was scolded by his father, so he said that he had something to do at home and he had to go back.
"If you have anything to say, eat first!" Chen Guisheng felt that since he was already here, there was no reason for him not to eat.
"I'll come back another day." Lu Jiahe didn't dare to delay and returned to the imperial capital overnight.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Chen Juan's wedding day.
