When Luo Qiao returned home, the bride next door had already entered the house and paid her respects to the elders. Luo Qiao looked at the neighbors and found that most of them gave one yuan as a gift, and then the whole family came over to congratulate. Some gave fifty cents or two yuan, but not much.
Luo Qiao also followed the crowd and paid a one-yuan gift, then returned to her own yard, found a place to sit down, and waited for the meal to start.
The courtyard was very lively. Luo Qiao heard someone at the next table say, "I heard that there is a girl living in this courtyard. She is still in school. This courtyard is really spacious. It is not smaller than the courtyard where our family lives."
"Why, are you attracted by this yard?"
"No, I was just saying. This yard is really nice. I just came in and took a look. The backyard is not small either, but the fence is locked and I can't get in."
"There are a lot of people here today. I just saw that they are growing vegetables in their backyards. They must be afraid that children will go in and trample on them."
"I wish I could live in this yard."
"You have a lot of brothers and cousins. If you marry a girl from this courtyard, you will have a chance to move in. There are three main rooms here."
"Don't talk nonsense, even jokes should be kept within the limits."
"Hey, Xi Zhen, I remember you asked before whether your future in-laws' family would also be in this area."
"Yes, it's in the alley ahead."
"You're trying to build good neighborhood relations ahead of time. No wonder you're helping others."
"Xie Zhen, you guys are really good at holding weddings, but this has been dragging on for too long."
"Soon, his training won't be finished until July."
"It's only a few months away. The next time I get to drink at your wedding, I'm afraid it will be my turn to attend you and Jiang Bo's wedding."
After hearing this, Luo Qiao also knew who this girl was. It seemed that Qu Meimei, the eldest daughter-in-law, was a good person. "
Previously, Qu Meimei had prepared wedding supplies for her eldest son Jiang Bo, but when they were almost ready to set the wedding date, the bureau gave him an opportunity to study and gain experience, so the wedding had to be postponed.
Fortunately, this girl is generous, otherwise if it hadn't taken so long, she would probably be dissatisfied.
The dishes started to be served one after another, and soon the newlyweds came over to toast. Aunt Zhang introduced the people at the wedding banquet to them one by one. When it was Luo Qiao's turn, Aunt Zhang said, "Yunyun, come here, this is our neighbor, Luo Qiao, the owner of this yard."
Luo Qiao smiled at the newlyweds and said, "I wish you a happy wedding."
The bride and groom replied together: "Thank you."
The people at the next table felt guilty after hearing Aunt Zhang's introduction. They had just been talking about someone in front of her, and now they all felt like quails.
Time passed quickly. This semester, Luo Qiao had not returned to Beijing once. She just called back every week. Since Lu Yichen left last time, he took time to come and see her once.
When he came, he did not tell Luo Qiao about his meritorious service and the reward, for fear that she would worry about him. The last time they chased criminals in the mountains, they were all extremely vicious and guilty of heinous crimes.
Luo Qiao learned about this from her fourth brother Luo Siyuan who came to visit her a few days ago. He said that Lu Yichen was commended by the Ministry of Public Security last time and he was also injured in that operation.
If you calculate the time, it’s the time when I last came to see her.
The college entrance examination is next week. The Luo family originally wanted to come here as a group, but were stopped by Luo Qiao, who said that if they came, she would be under pressure.
In fact, she didn't want to mobilize her family. She knew what was going on, so her family told her to pack up and return to Beijing after the exam.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The day before the exam, Lu Yichen arrived in Ji City. Luo Qiao opened the door and saw someone standing outside. She smiled and said, "You are here to accompany me to take the exam."
Lu Yichen said: "Well, the college entrance examination is such a big thing, I must come."
Luo Qiao said: "Didn't we agree on the phone that you don't need to come over?"
Lu Yichen touched the top of Luo Qiao's head and said, "I want to come and accompany you, and provide logistical support so that you can take the exam without any worries."
Luo Qiao stepped aside and let Lu Yichen come in: "You sit down first, I'll go wash up."
As Lu Yichen walked in, he asked, "Are you still going to school today?"
