Chapter 169 Asking for Leave



Early the next morning, before even having breakfast, Lu Chen took Su Ruoli to the county town.

After arriving at the county town, Lu Chen first took Su Ruoli to have breakfast at a state-owned restaurant, and then drove Su Ruoli to the supply and marketing cooperative.

They bought and bought, and finally bought a lot. Luckily, they brought backpacks when they went out this time, and in the end the backpacks were full.

Lu Chen hung the backpack on his chest and was about to ride his bicycle to take Su Ruoli home.

"How can you ride a bike with this hanging in front?" Su Ruoli pointed at the backpack on Lu Chen's chest.

"It's okay, this is not heavy and won't affect riding. Let's go!" Lu Chen patted the back seat of the bicycle.

Unable to persuade Lu Chen, Su Ruoli could only sit in the back seat and reach out to grab the corner of Lu Chen's clothes.

After returning home, Lu Chen tidied up his things a little and hurriedly took Su Ruoli to the cowshed.

Su Ruoli looked at Lu Chen, shook her head and laughed. She didn't know how anxious this man was. He didn't even have time to drink water.

When they arrived at the cowshed, before Lu Chen and Su Ruoli could speak, grandpa and grandma took the lead and said, "Nannan, you are here. I was just about to look for you."

"Looking for me? Is there something wrong?" Su Ruoli asked.

"It's nothing. I just want to tell you that your grandfather and I can go back to the city." Fang Yi said.

Lu Chen and Su Ruoli looked at each other, both with surprise on their faces. This was such a pleasant surprise. They thought that grandma and the others would have to wait until after the New Year to go back.

Su Ruoli couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa and grandma, is it true? That's great." Su Ruoli ran over and hugged her grandmother's neck.

Grandma smiled and said, "It's true. The captain told us to go back the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow, then we can go back together." Lu Chen said, "Grandma, how are you going to leave then?"

"The captain originally said that he would send someone to pick us up, but I refused. I wanted to take the train back and see the scenery along the way." Fang Yi said. After being trapped for so long, she wanted to see what the outside world looked like.

"You just said the day after tomorrow, you will also go back to Beijing the day after tomorrow?" Jian Zhongyi interrupted.

"Well, it's just right that we can do it together." Lu Chen nodded, and then he carefully told his plan to several old people in the cowshed.

"Okay, as long as you can treat Nannan well, we will take back whatever betrothal gifts your family gives to Nannan. As for the dowry, we will prepare it for her when we return to Beijing." Fang Yi said.

"Grandma, don't worry! I will definitely use my life to protect and care for her, and will never let Xiao Lier suffer the slightest grievance or harm!"

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the old people felt sad and happy, especially Fang Yi and Jian Zhongyi.

The sad thing was that their granddaughter was taken away by the big bad wolf just after they found her. The happy thing was that they were quite satisfied with the big bad wolf who took away their granddaughter.

The last few people sighed together. As long as Su Ruoli was fine, they had nothing to be dissatisfied about.

"Okay, let's go together the day after tomorrow. We'll arrange the details of the wedding after we arrive in Beijing." Jian Zhongyi said.

Hearing Jian Zhongyi's words, Lu Chen and Su Ruoli smiled at each other.

"Okay, then grandma, you guys just pack up and we'll go together then." Su Ruoli said.

Su Ruoli and Lu Chen chatted with a few old people in the cowshed for a long time before returning home.

As soon as she entered the room, Su Ruoli ran to find Zhang Sitong, leaving Lu Chen alone sitting beside Su Ruoli's bed.

"Sitong, can I come in?" Su Ruoli knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is not locked." Zhang Sitong's voice came from inside the door.

"Jinyan's wedding date has been set. It's on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. Do you want to go back to Beijing? We plan to leave the day after tomorrow and be with your grandparents then." Su Ruoli walked into the house and asked directly.

Zhang Sitong was reading a book in the warmth, but when she heard Su Ruoli's words, she immediately sat up. "Go back, go back. I miss my mom and the others so much."

He got down from the kang, put on his shoes, and ran with Su Ruoli, "Let's go, let's go ask the team leader for leave."

"Please wear your coat. Besides, you have to give people some gifts since they have taken such a long vacation." Su Ruoli said, holding Zhang Sitong who was about to run out the door.

"Oh, yes, yes, you are really thoughtful." Zhang Sitong let go of Su Ruoli's hand and went to look for something in the cabinet.

Su Ruoli also turned around and went back to her room. As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Chen still sitting by the bed.

Su Ruoli smiled and asked, "Sitong and I are going to ask the captain for leave, are you going?"

"Go ahead, I'll keep you company." Lu Chen said lovingly. It was just the right time to talk to the team leader about transferring Xiao Li'er's household registration. After they got married, her household registration would definitely follow him.

Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong went to the captain's house and explained their purpose. After the captain told them to pay attention to the time, he readily approved their leave and wished them a safe journey.

After leaving the captain's house, Lu Chen confessed to Su Ruoli that he wanted to transfer her household registration.

Although Su Ruoli was surprised, she also understood that this was a matter of time. After getting married, her household registration would definitely follow Lu Chen. However, they were not married yet. Could the household registration be transferred?

But since Lu Chen said so, it must have been arranged, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After returning home, Lu Chen pushed his bicycle to the county town to buy a ticket.

When Zhang Sitong heard that Lu Chen was going to buy a ticket, she ran back to her room, took out the money and stuffed it into Su Ruoli's hand.

"You two are getting married anyway, so it's the same for him as it is for you." Zhang Sitong said with a smile, "Are you from the Secret Service?"

"What do you mean?" Su Ruoli was puzzled.

"You are not from the Secret Service. I am the last one to know why you married Lu Chen." Zhang Sitong said.

"Oh, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the date hasn't been set yet. It's not too late to tell you when it's set." Su Ruoli shook Zhang Sitong's arm.

"I reluctantly forgive you." Zhang Sitong said somewhat arrogantly.

"Thank you, Xiaotongzi." Su Ruoli saluted Zhang Sitong as if she were in ancient times.

"So if you leave this time, will you never come back?" Zhang Sitong said a little disappointedly.

"That's right, the household registration is about to be transferred." Su Ruoli was also a little depressed.

"Will we meet again in the future?" Zhang Sitong leaned her head on Su Ruoli's shoulder.

"Yes, you read carefully, and we will meet then. I'll wait for you in Beijing." Su Ruoli said, patting Zhang Sitong. "Besides, we can still write letters."

"Don't be sad, let's go make something delicious. What do you want to eat?" Su Ruoli asked.

As expected, Zhang Sitong perked up when she heard the word "delicious." "Let me think about it." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Sitong said, "Anything you make seems to be delicious."

Seeing that Zhang Sitong finally stopped worrying about whether they could meet, Su Ruoli raised the corners of her mouth and pulled Zhang Sitong to the kitchen.

The two of them slowly cooked, chatted, and waited for Lu Chen to come back.
