Chapter 27
"Jing Yazi is getting married..."
"He married a city girl. I saw her from a distance and she is indeed pretty, but I don't know if she can work."
"Why do you care whether she can work or not? Jing Yazi can afford it."
“…”
Before long, everyone they passed by knew that Lu Huaijing had married a new wife.
There was also an old lady who was nearby who greeted Lu Huaijing, "Jing Yazi, you and your wife should have a big fat boy soon!"
These words made Tang Wan's pretty face flush. She grabbed Lu Huaijing's clothes and her head almost fell on his back.
But this guy replied in a loud voice, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will try my best."
"You are..."
Tang Wan was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She was teased, but Lu Huaijing laughed heartily.
"Yes, my wife is the most beautiful lesbian."
Tang Wan: …
The bicycle did not stop along the way, but whenever it reached a crowded place, Lu Huaijing pedaled very slowly.
I wish everyone I meet could say something auspicious.
Tang Wan: …
"Look at the time."
Tang Wan unhappily reminded Lu Huaijing that if they delayed any further the auspicious time would soon pass.
Lu Huaijing raised his hand and glanced at his watch, cheerful as a young boy, "Let's go home!"
Finally, Lu Huaijing rode his bicycle back. When he arrived at Lu's house, Tang Wan's face was already red as blood.
At this time, there were six tables placed in the Lu family's yard, and except for the main table, all the other tables were already full of people.
It seemed that while they were out for a stroll, Wang Dani had already made arrangements with her sons and daughters-in-law.
"The new guy is back."
Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing.
Lu Xiangdong howled bravely, "Oh oh oh..., Brother Huaijing, it's time to recite the revolutionary declaration together!"
Lu Huaijing finally took Tang Wan's hand openly and protected her behind him.
"Lu Xiangdong, please stop making trouble. My wife is shy."
"Brother Huai Jing, how dare we do that?"
Lu Xiangdong deliberately made faces and made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was particularly joyful for a while.
These days, the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth is no longer popular, but instead couples recite revolutionary declarations together.
"We enter into marriage with a revolutionary heart and a revolutionary friendship...
We made our wedding vows, promising to be firm, lasting, friendly and harmonious, and to let the proletarian revolutionary friendship be deeply rooted in our souls. "
The two of them recited it seriously, and when they looked at each other for the last time, their eyes seemed to be pulling at a thread.
"Wife, I swear on this military uniform that I will never let you down!"
Lu Huaijing's serious expression made Tang Wan feel hot inside and her heart beat very fast.
"As long as you don't let me down, I will wholeheartedly have children with you."
"How about... a kiss?"
Lu Xiangdong shouted bravely, and was pulled back by someone. "You can be happy as you like, but don't say anything nonsense."
Although they are already husband and wife, due to the times, they still cannot be too close to each other in public.
Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan also pretended not to hear Lu Xiangdong's words. They stood opposite each other and quickly looked away when their eyes met.
Wang Dani invited Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing to sit at the main table. Tang Zhou, as the only relative of Tang Wan who came, naturally also sat at the main table.
In this era, it is not fashionable to be extravagant or set off firecrackers to celebrate, so Wang Dani, the head of the family, talked a lot.
Finally, she said to Lu Huaijing with tears in her eyes: "Huaijing, I am happy that you have married and started a family.
Mother hopes that your little family will be prosperous, and don’t treat your wife badly.”
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely treat my daughter-in-law well."
Lu Huaijing was very moved by what he said and made assurances one after another. His affectionate eyes fell on Tang Wan's face.
For a moment, Tang Wan felt that the two of them were like lovers who had known each other for many years.
"Old Third's family, mother hopes that you and Old Third can support and tolerate each other."
Wang Dani is now just an ordinary mother, expressing her most sincere blessings to her children.
Tang Wan smiled sincerely, "Mom, I will live a good life with Huai Jing."
As long as Lu Huaijing didn't touch her bottom line, she never thought about leaving.
"Okay, okay."
Wang Dani said three good words in a row and was about to invite everyone to start the meal.
Several inopportune figures appeared, Liu Lanhua was limping and had a shrill voice.
"Sister-in-law, you are so unfilial that you didn't invite your parents when the banquet is about to start!"
Tang Wan followed the direction of everyone's gaze and looked towards the door. Liu Lanhua was supported by her daughter.
Behind her was an elderly couple, who were probably Lu Huaijing's blood relatives, his grandfather and grandmother.
In addition to them, there are also Lu Huaijing's second uncle and cousins who are related by blood.
The whole family came in complete company.
Old Master Lu looked cold and glared at Wang Dani with unfriendly eyes, "Humph, you dare to start the feast when we old ones are not here!"
"I didn't want Jianguo to marry you at first. I didn't think it was reasonable. Now it's true."
Old lady Lu had a wrinkled face and her inverted triangular eyes glanced at Wang Dani sarcastically, and finally fell on Tang Wan.
"This girl is too frivolous, not suitable for the third brother, but since he likes her, he can just marry her."
The family's natural and familiar tone shocked everyone.
How come some people are so thick-skinned?
"Auntie, why don't you invite grandma in quickly?"
Lu Ju, who was supporting Liu Lanhua, raised her chin slightly, and spoke in a commanding tone which made Wang Dani sneer.
"Why invite me? We have severed our relationship a long time ago and haven't seen each other for many years.
We had no relatives or elders before, but now that my third child has made some achievements, he has a grandpa, a grandmother, and an uncle. It’s really funny!”
"Wang Dani, I am your mother-in-law!"
Old lady Lu swung her cane at her fiercely, but Wang Dani was not so stupid as to let her hit her.
She flexibly avoided it. In the past, she had to tolerate men, but now there was no need to tolerate them!
"That's not what you said when you sacrificed your life to build the nation."
Wang Dani rolled her eyes. "Do you want me to recall what you said at that time?"
Mr. Lu and his wife both looked livid!
When the eldest son died, they did say something harsh, but that was because they were afraid that Wang Dani would have to raise a bunch of children with the second son!
With such a huge burden, it is natural to get rid of it as much as possible.
But now it's different.
Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Mrs. Lu had to swallow her pride and try the soft approach.
"Dani, Jianguo was my son, and I was sadder than anyone else that he sacrificed me. I was so grief-stricken at that time that I said such outrageous words.
But Huairen, Huaide, Huaijing and Huaiyi are all Jianguo’s children, and my biological grandsons.
They have my blood in them, you can’t stop us from seeing our children.”
This moved the honest and fawning Lu Huairen a little, but he didn't dare to make his mother sad.
"Auntie, grandma has admitted her mistakes in person at such an old age, what else do you want?"
Tang Wan felt strangely familiar with Lu Ju's moving words. Oh, it turned out that Bai Lianhua was speaking.
But her mother-in-law's fighting ability is not bad either.
As expected, Wang Dani didn't even look at Lu Ju, her face was full of sarcasm, "You really miss your grandson.
Aren't you just thinking about the allowance from the third brother? If you really wanted to, why didn't you come to give a little money to the eldest and second brothers when they got married?"
