"Nonsense!" Old Master Lu exclaimed. "Preparing for your uncle's wedding alone is already rushed, why are you making things worse?"
Lu Yunqi: "Grandpa, my marriage is a serious matter. I've already been granted special leave to come to the forest farm this time. If I don't get married, I don't know when I'll get another leave. I don't want to be separated from Mu Zhiqing for so long."
"It's not that I don't want you to get married, but you and Mu Zhiqing have only known each other for a short time. You're not familiar with each other yet, and you don't know each other well enough. What if you get married and it doesn't work out?"
You're a grown adult; you need to think things through before you act.
For some reason, that last sentence struck a chord with Lu Yunqi.
He stiffened his neck and said with red eyes, "Grandpa, my uncle and Yu Yao have only just met, and they can get married, so why can't I? What's wrong with me?"
Ultimately, you just don't like me, so whatever decision I make is wrong.
Whether you agree or not, I'm going to marry Mu Zhiqing.
"Look at what you're saying! How can these be the same? I'm asking you, did you ask Mu Zhiqing's adoptive parents before you got married? Even though they aren't Mu Zhiqing's biological parents, they still raised her for so many years."
Lu Yunqi remained silent.
He didn't ask.
Grandpa Lu sighed. This grandson of his was really a worry.
Even if we're going to get married, this isn't the way to do it.
Furthermore, when it comes to choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one, and this educated youth, Mu, is clearly not someone to be trifled with.
At this moment, Mu Hehe suddenly stood up.
"Grandpa Lu, we must act quickly in this emergency. I haven't been able to contact my adoptive parents yet, but I assure you, they will like Yunqi and won't object to our marriage."
Lu Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief. With Mu Hehe's words, he felt confident.
The two insisted on getting married, which infuriated Old Master Lu, who then asked Su Ya to persuade them.
As a result, Suya not only did not object, but also tried to persuade the old man.
“Dad, I agree to this. If you’re worried that Mom won’t be able to handle it all by herself, don’t worry. I’ll take care of Yunqi and Mu Hehe’s wedding.”
At this moment, Yu Defu also received a signal from Mu Hehe and spoke up for the two of them.
Seeing that they were all like this, Old Master Lu simply stopped caring.
The two are getting married; can his grandfather really stop them from doing so by tying their hands and feet?
He was just even more disappointed in his third brother's wife and Lu Yunqi.
Su Ya didn't think much of Mu Hehe to begin with.
But Lu Yunqi just told her that although Mu Hehe's adoptive parents are from Shanghai, their hometown is in Guangdong Province.
Mu Hehe's maternal uncle was a cadre of the Guangdong Provincial Revolutionary Committee.
If the two families were to become related by marriage, they could find a way to secure a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
If we don't rely on the Lu family's connections, but instead go through Mu Hehe's, the old man can't object, right?
That was settled.
On the 17th of this month, Lu Ze and Yu Yao will get married, and Lu Yunqi and Mu Hehe will get married.
Each person held their own wedding.
How well it goes depends on the groom's abilities.
To hold a wedding, you have to notify everyone in the village and the surrounding neighborhood.
When Yu Defu talked about this with the brigade leader, he also told him about Mu Hehe and Yu Yao's background.
All the cadres and members in the brigade office heard it at the time.
The news caused an uproar throughout the Baihe Brigade.
In those days, gossip was scarce, but even the slightest disturbance in someone's home could become the talk of the village for ages.
What's more, the Yu family's situation involves both a real and a fake daughter, and both of them marrying into the Lu family in the city on the same day.
The next morning, not only did the Baihe brigade find out, but even the dog belonging to the brigade leader next door knew.
"I always said Yu Yao was lucky. That child has been good since she was little. She is polite, capable, and good-looking. I heard that the groom is a military officer and earns this much every month."
"Goodness gracious, this is incredible! Yu Yao has truly fallen into a lucky hole."
Some people couldn't stand it and scoffed, "So what? It's because Mu Zhiqing doesn't care. She's just an imposter, and she got married so well because of Mu Zhiqing. She's benefited from Mu Zhiqing's good fortune. If it were me, I would thank Mu Zhiqing properly."
Someone disagreed. It was Yu Yao's aunt next door who spoke up. She knew a lot about the Yu family's situation and immediately defended Yu Yao.
"What do you know? The truth is quite the opposite. Yu Yao was able to marry into the Lu family and marry a military officer; that was her own good fortune. She saved Old Master Lu's life back then. If anyone benefited from this, it was Mu Zhiqing who benefited."
"Exactly, exactly. You're not saying this because you're jealous of Yu Yao, are you? Even if you are, you're not. If you don't have that kind of luck, don't dream about it."
...
Yu Yao got up early, went to the kitchen to make something to eat, and after eating, she went back to her room to change into clean clothes.
Today, Lu Ze is coming from the guesthouse to pick her up.
There were only a few clothes in the closet. Yu Yao compared them one by one before finding the only one without patches.
This outfit was made and sent by Grandma Hu two years ago for the original owner's birthday.
Two sets of clothes were sent at the time. One set was snatched by Yu Honglan, and the remaining set was only managed to be retrieved by the original owner of the body with great difficulty.
In those days, industry was underdeveloped and the population was large, resulting in a nationwide shortage of goods.
An adult only receives six to fourteen feet of cloth coupons per year. What can you do with that amount of coupons? Some people have to save up for several years to make a single set of clothes.
All the clothes were "new for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years," patch upon patch.
Yu Defu works at the machinery factory and is allocated various coupons every month. He can occasionally exchange other coupons for some cloth coupons, but they are all collected by Han Fenglan and are not given to the original owner.
If it weren't for the Lu family's occasional financial assistance, Yu Yao probably wouldn't even have a decent piece of clothing.
After changing her clothes, Yu Yao quickly braided a plait behind her head with her nimble fingers, and took the money and tickets to the village entrance.
From afar, a tall figure could be seen, wearing a white shirt and black pants, pushing a 28-inch bicycle.
Lu Ze's gaze fell on Yu Yao, who was wearing a blue floral dress, and his eyes lit up.
Yu Yao walked over: "Have you been waiting long?"
"I just arrived."
Lu Ze handed over a warm aluminum lunchbox. "I brought this for you. The chef who makes the buns used to work in the palace. His buns are delicious."
"Thank you." Yu Yao took it, opened the aluminum lunchbox, and smelled it. "It smells really good."
She only ate some porridge and pickled vegetables for breakfast to fill her up. These buns were big and had lots of filling; they looked delicious.
Besides steamed buns, Lu Ze also brought her eggs and some side dishes.
Yu Yao was satisfied.
This man is observant and capable; that's good.
Lu Ze: "Why are you so happy?"
Yu Yao smiled and said, "I just think I have great taste, choosing you as my marriage partner. You're handsome and know how to care for people."
Lu Ze paused for a moment, then his ears turned red instantly. He loosened his collar uncomfortably and stared straight ahead.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Yao looked up at him.
His bright red ears were immediately noticeable.
You're so easily flattered, you must have never had a boyfriend before!
