"Xiaochen's mother is coming. This is good. I have to prepare well." Fang Yi said with a smile.
She also wanted to see what the parents who could educate Lu Chen so well looked like.
"Grandma, there's no need to be so complicated. Just keep it simple." Lu Chen said.
"Don't worry about it, grandma will take care of it. When will she come tomorrow?" Fang Yi said.
Lu Chen told Fang Yi the time.
Fang Yi nodded, then waved her hand and asked Su Ruoli and Lu Chen to go back to the house to read.
Early the next morning!
Fang Yi got up and busied herself preparing a large table of food, waiting for Lu Chen and the others to arrive.
Lu Chen arrived on time with Qiao Yunrong, Grandma Lu, and Grandpa Lu. Lu Chen went forward and knocked on the door. Fang Yi opened the door herself. Looking at the beautiful and dignified woman and the energetic old man and woman in front of her, she smiled and said, "Come in."
Lu Chen introduced Grandma Lu and Grandma Lu to Fang Yi. The two old ladies hit it off immediately and walked in hand in hand.
"The food is ready, let's eat and talk." Fang Yi said with a smile.
Su Ruoli and Jian Zhongyi heard the noise and came out of the room. Su Ruoli greeted them politely.
After entering the living room, Lu Chen put the pile of packages in his hands aside, and went with Su Ruoli to bring the food from the kitchen to the living room.
The kitchen is a bit small and not as spacious as the living room, and it doesn't feel like a good place to chat.
After everyone was seated, they began to eat and chat. Grandma Lu and Fang Yi got along very well.
Jian Zhongyi and Grandpa Lu also started chatting, and Lu Chen and Su Ruoli would interject from time to time.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was joyful, and before they knew it, the topic turned to Lu Chen and Su Ruoli.
Fang Yi smiled from ear to ear: "Xiaochen is a sensible and filial child. I like him very much."
"Ruoli, our family likes her very much. She is smart, well-behaved and capable." Qiao Yunrong praised.
"We came here today to see you and also to talk about these two children," said Qiao Yunrong.
"It's a blessing for our Lu Chen to find a good girl like Ruoli." Grandma Lu also agreed with a smile.
Qiao Yunrong looked at Su Ruoli and said gently: "Ruoli, you and Xiaochen have been together for a while, and you are both not young anymore. If you think it is suitable, you can consider settling down."
When Su Ruoli heard this, a blush appeared on her face. She glanced at Lu Chen and saw that Lu Chen was looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of love and expectation.
"Then you guys discuss it, I'll listen to grandma." Su Ruoli said.
Qiao Yunrong said to Fang Yi, "Auntie, how about this? My family will give us 1,314 yuan for the betrothal gift. I'll give you three turns, one ring, and four legs. Is that okay?"
"My family has many houses. If Ruoli wants to live with us, that's fine. If the couple wants to live on their own, that's fine too. Anyway, everything depends on the child's wishes." Grandma Lu also said.
Fang Yi smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. "You are so polite. As long as the two children are willing, we have no objection."
Jian Zhongyi and Grandpa Lu were chatting. Their opinions didn't count anyway, so they didn't bother anyone.
"Okay, then it's settled. I think the sixth day of the first lunar month is a good day. Why don't we hold the wedding on that day? Xiaochen should be returning to the army on the eighth day." Grandma Lu said.
Su Ruoli was stunned. Was it so hasty? Even the date had been set.
"Isn't this too rushed? There's not enough time to prepare many things." Fang Yi said.
"Don't worry, my family has already prepared all those things. We are just waiting for your approval." Grandma Lu took Fang Yi's hand.
"Your family has been planning to marry my daughter for a long time." Fang Yi said.
"Ruoli is so outstanding, we have no choice but to prepare early." Grandma Lu said.
"Nannan, how many children do you plan to have after you get married?" Jian Zhongyi suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned to look at Jian Zhongyi. What was going on? They weren't even married yet, but he was already asking about children.
Lu Chen seemed to understand what Jian Zhongyi meant. He stood up and looked at Jian Zhongyi, saying seriously, "Grandpa, no matter how many children Xiao Li'er and I have in the future, our first child will have the surname Jian."
Everyone turned to look at Lu Chen again, and Su Ruoli also looked at Lu Chen. "Don't we need to discuss this?" Although she also meant this, it seemed that it was not her turn to speak at the table.
Fortunately, Jian Zhongyi spoke out.
Qiao Yunrong and Grandma Lu exchanged a glance, and Qiao Yunrong smiled and said, "Let the two children decide on this matter. It doesn't matter if they have the surname Jian or Lu. They are all our children anyway, and we love them equally."
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Jian Zhongyi said happily.
"We are all family, so let's not talk behind each other's backs," said Grandma Lu.
Everyone smiled at each other and continued talking about the wedding. The atmosphere instantly became relaxed and happy again.
After dinner, the Lu family sat for a while and then left.
Su Ruoli saw them off. Before leaving, Qiao Yunrong held Su Ruoli's hand and asked her to visit his house often.
Lu Chen just sent Qiao Yunrong and the others out, and then stood beside Su Ruoli.
"Lu Chen, are we really getting married?" Su Ruoli asked softly.
Lu Chen held Su Ruoli's hand and smiled gently, "Yes, Xiao Li'er, we are getting married soon. From now on, I will always be by your side."
Su Ruoli nodded gently, and then remembered what happened at the dinner table. She raised her hand and twisted Lu Chen's waist.
Lu Chen seemed not to feel any pain and his expression did not change at all.
Fang Yi watched the interaction between the two, smiled with relief, then turned and went back to the room.
"Oh! I can't decide what my child's surname will be." Su Ruoli sighed.
"From now on, you will be in charge of all matters at home, and I will listen to you." Lu Chen immediately promised.
"That's more like it, but I still think there are things that two people can discuss together." Su Ruoli said with a smile.
"Then I'll discuss everything with you from now on." Lu Chen said softly, "Didn't you say you wanted to go find Grandpa Liang and the others? When are you going?"
"Let's go now. There's nothing to do at home anyway." Su Ruoli said.
Although Su Ruoli knew where she lived, she had never been there. To be honest, she was not familiar with Beijing at all.
The two rode their bicycles, asking questions along the way, and finally arrived at Liang Shuping's home.
From a distance, a group of people gathered in front of Liang Shuping's house. Su Ruoli looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Is this the place? Why are there so many people?"
"I don't know. Let's go over and see what happened." Lu Chen said as he pushed his bicycle forward.
Su Ruoli stepped up to catch up, hoping nothing would happen.
Lu Chen parked his bike and protected Su Ruoli as he squeezed through the crowd.
