Geda Village?
Lu Huaijiao was not very familiar with this village.
However, she knew that in their area, Dawancun had the best conditions. The further in you went into the villages, the worse the conditions became; in some places, people couldn't even get enough to eat.
It's likely that the place Grandpa Shu arranged for Lu Sisi, the destined heroine, won't be any good.
That's for the best, after all, she's the destined heroine, isn't she? The tougher the conditions, the more her hardships will be highlighted!
Lu Huaijiao couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.
998 appropriately poured cold water on her mind.
'Host, are you truly not afraid of divine retribution?'
What are you afraid of?
Lu Huaijiao has never known the meaning of the word "fear" since she was a child.
Now that she has Gu Changzheng as her helper, who can tell her exactly what to do, she is even less afraid to write.
Compared to 998's needless worries, Lu Huaijiao was more curious about how Lu Sisi managed to turn her life around in a place where people couldn't even get enough to eat, all thanks to the spiritual spring water.
She really wanted to know how the so-called "Daughter of Heaven" faced such a predicament.
"By the way, Lu Huaiyu went along too, because his family background was too bad, and the Qin family was unwilling to accept him. After Lu Zhengde and Qin Yanhua were confirmed to be exiled to the Northwest Farm, the Qin family immediately severed ties with them."
Shu Aiguo continued.
Lu Huaijiao nodded.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Grandpa."
She smiled and took Shu Aiguo's arm, thanking him sweetly.
Shu Aiguo patted Lu Huaijiao's arm and smiled as well.
Since his old friend has already passed away, he will take care of his child for him. After all, even with his old bones, he can still say a few words in Shanghai.
As long as Xiao Huaijiao doesn't mind his talkativeness, he will definitely protect her well.
They chatted for a while, and then Aunt Zheng said it was time to eat.
Since it was just a gathering for neighbors, there was nothing particularly formal or formal. Shu Aiguo walked over, took Lu Huaijiao's hand and Gu Changzheng's hand, and officiated at their wedding in front of the neighbors.
Lu Huaijiao was wearing a red dress and black leather shoes, revealing a section of her smooth, lotus-root-like calves.
Her hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. Her already delicate and flawless features were enhanced by a little eyebrow drawing and a touch of lipstick, which made her complexion instantly brighter.
Her naturally fair skin is perfect for wearing brightly colored clothes. The bright red dress that Lu Huaijiao is wearing makes her delicate skin look rosy and radiant.
Then look at Gu Changzheng standing on the other side of the old man.
He was wearing a simple white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes. His extremely short buzz cut is actually quite selective in terms of facial features.
If someone isn't good-looking, a buzz cut can make their face and forehead appear very large, creating a very unbalanced look.
But Gu Changzheng's strength lies in the fact that he is also very good-looking!
His face was sharp and angular, with features so deep they looked as if they had been carved with a knife.
His face is not the square or rectangular face that is popular nowadays, but rather a bit thinner, more like an oval face, but his facial lines are not as soft as those of an oval face.
Thick, sword-like eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and a high, straight nose, with light pink lips beneath the nose—her features together are very pleasing to the eye, and even individually, they are very attractive.
In addition, his impressive height of about 1.85 meters gives him a rather intimidating presence when he stands there without smiling.
The neighbors speculated that Lu Huaijiao probably married Gu Changzheng because she was attracted to his face.
Some people couldn't help but think that Lu Huaijiao, such a delicate flower, was stuck with Gu Changzheng, a peasant, and that her life was doomed.
Yes, even though today was a wedding banquet, some people still couldn't help but speculate about Lu Huaijiao and her family. Lu Huaijiao didn't care about such people at all.
She knows exactly what kind of life she wants to live.
She'll listen to what she likes to hear, and ignore what she doesn't.
Shu Aiguo held their hands and announced to everyone that they were officially married.
Some people's gazes fell on Lu Huaijiao's slightly protruding belly, and they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, "She's already pregnant, and now she's only getting married?"
Aren't you ashamed?
However, even if the people below were very envious, they wouldn't dare to say it out loud.
After all, Lu Huaijiao's reputation as someone not to be trifled with had spread throughout the entire street. For someone who wouldn't even spare her own father, dealing with them would be a piece of cake.
Some people who were jealous of Lu Huaijiao could only swallow their envy and resentment due to this objective reason, and eat and drink heartily at the banquet to balance their feelings.
Lu Huaijiao pulled Shu Aiguo to sit on the side of the main table. She and Gu Changzheng sat on either side of the old man. Also present were Aunt Pang, He Chun, Aunt Zheng and their Uncle Dafang, plus a few other people they were close to.
Although this was a gathering to entertain the neighbors, everyone tactfully divided themselves into groups. Those who were really close to Lu Huaijiao naturally sat at the front.
Those who shamelessly come to our door to freeload a meal are all obediently seated near the door, and leave once they've eaten their fill; nobody pays them any attention.
This is a local custom on their street; when someone has a happy occasion, others can come and eat at the feast.
So Lu Huaijiao had nothing to say.
Moreover, a single meal won't bankrupt her. She mainly wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone that she's married and that she's not inferior to other families just because her elders aren't around.
She can still organize any banquet that needs to be held.
A little after noon, around 2 p.m., the people who had eaten all left.
Lu Huaijiao asked Aunt Zheng and Aunt Pang to help her pack up all the leftover food in the kitchen and take it home. Although it was leftovers, it was all food that had been cooked but not eaten.
If you pack it up and reheat it, it's still edible.
The aunties who came to help didn't expect that simply helping out would result in them taking home so much food. At first, they kept declining, but seeing that Lu Huaijiao was genuinely sincere in giving it to them, they thanked her one by one and happily packed everything up to take home.
Before leaving, they took back the borrowed bowls, chopsticks, tables, and other items to their own homes.
They even cleared out the garbage piled up in the yard and took it to the garbage station to dispose of it.
Once the helpers left, Aunt Pang and Aunt Zheng also went home to rest. The courtyard, which had been lively for a short time, became quiet and empty again because of Shu Aiguo, who was the last to leave.
Lu Huaijiao sat on the swing, feeling somewhat weak.
Gu Changzheng was making her malted milk powder when he came out and saw her sitting dejectedly on the swing, staring at the tips of her shoes. He assumed she was exhausted.
He quickly came over.
"Jiaojiao..."
Before she could even ask if he was too tired, Lu Huaijiao looked up at him with utmost seriousness and asked, "Gu Changzheng, after the baby in my belly comes out, shall we have a few more?"
