Kuang Yiyang looked at me and Luo Xiangdong with a smile and said, "Grandma said you only found out last night. This is good news, I'm going to be a brother too."
Luo Xiangdong smiled and said: "Whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, you, the elder brother, must take good care of me from now on."
Kuang Yiyang said: "Of course."
The servant came over to prepare slippers for Luo Xiangdong and me. Guan Lin said, "Give Zijin the soft-soled maternity slippers I bought today."
While talking. Guan Lin came over and held my hand. He smiled and said: "I went shopping this morning and bought a lot of things that you can use now. Otherwise, I would be afraid that you would not have time to buy them. I wouldn't be able to buy them all."
I smiled and replied: "Thank you, auntie."
I changed into slippers and walked to the living room. Just when Luo Zhenye came down from the second floor, I looked up and called: "Uncle."
Luo Zhenye said: "You're back, I thought it would be a while."
Although there was no smile like Guan Lin's on his face, this was the first time he responded to me in a friendly manner. His tone also treated me completely as one of his own.
this moment. I really have the urge to cry with joy after suffering all the hardships.
On the sofa in the living room, Guan Lin held my hand and sat on one side, while Luo Xiangdong and Kuang Yiyang sat on the other side. Luo Zhenye sat alone on the main sofa.
Guan Lin said to me: "Zijin. I discussed it with your uncle last night. Since Xiangdong has already proposed to you, our two families should find a time to set the wedding date as soon as possible, so that you can Come and raise your baby safely.”
I had thought about this question before coming here, but looking back, when Guan Lin asked me face to face, I was indeed a little confused.
"Auntie, I haven't told my family about my pregnancy yet."
Guan Lin said: "Really? I thought you had already greeted your family."
Luo Xiangdong, who was sitting opposite me, took over the conversation and said, "Zijin's family is very traditional. If we knew she was pregnant, we would definitely get married as soon as possible."
Guan Lin nodded, and Luo Zhenye took a sip of tea and said, "Zijin, say hello to your family and ask them when they have time. Let's go to your house."
After his words fell, I was so nervous that I subconsciously straightened my back, looked at him and said, "Don't bother uncle, I'll just call home."
Luo Zhenye said with a serious face: "You and Xiang Dong have been together for a long time. When you are in love, you are in love. Now when you are talking about marriage, the man should go to the woman's family to hire someone. This is a rule and cannot be omitted."
Luo Xiangdong also looked at me and said, "I will go back with my parents and you then."
I forgot that the more wealthy the family, the more complete the rules. Just thinking about people like Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin appearing in Liangcheng... No matter how I think about it, the style of painting feels wrong.
While we were talking, Kuang Yiyang took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and said to us: "You guys talk first, I'll answer the phone."
Kuang Yiyang's departure briefly attracted the attention of Luo Xiangdong and Luo Zhenye. In fact, from the corner of my eye, I always felt that Kuang Yiyang left intentionally.
After only a brief pause, Guan Lin still held my hand and said with a smile: "Zijin, you don't have to worry about other things now. Just focus on taking good care of your body. I asked the kitchen to stew Cordyceps Chicken Soup. Drink more later." point."
Luo Zhenye also looked at me and said: "What do your parents and relatives at home like? Tell your aunt and we will prepare early."
I quickly replied: "No, uncle, you and auntie can go there together. Our family will be very happy."
Luo Zhenye also smiled when he heard this. He said aloud: "I have been to Winter City many times. I heard from Xiangdong that your hometown is Liangcheng. I have never been to Liangcheng, but there is a very famous hotel in Winter City. , the chef is from Liangcheng.”
I smiled and said, "If uncle and aunt are used to eating Northeastern food, they should really go to Liangcheng. We don't have any specialties there, but there are a lot of delicious ones. Many people from Dongcheng often drive to our place to eat."
Luo Zhenye smiled and told me some Northeastern dishes he liked to eat, and I also chatted with him. Although I was always nervous, the atmosphere was not bad.
Kuang Yiyang answered the phone for a full ten minutes, and when he came back, it was time to start dinner.
This was the first meal I had in the Luo family. Because of Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin's attitude towards me, the entire Luo family and the servants knew that I was going to marry into a wealthy family.
After dinner, we ate some fruit in the living room and chatted for a while.
Before leaving, Guan Lin told me: "Zijin, don't forget to call your family when you go back. Let's settle the date as soon as possible so that you can rest assured to raise your baby."
"Okay, I understand, auntie."
Kuang Yiyang said that he had made an appointment with a friend, so the three of us left Luo's house together. He sat in the back seat and I sat in the passenger seat. On the way away, Kuang Yiyang said with a smile: "It seems that I will attend your wedding soon."
I raised the corners of my lips, but for a moment I didn't know what to say in reply.
Luo Xiangdong said while driving: "What about you? You don't want to study for a Ph.D. after finishing graduate school, do you? When will you bring your girlfriend back to show us? Your grandfather didn't say it, but he actually wanted to give it to his grandson. "
Kuang Yiyang smiled and replied: "I'm still young."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Why are you so young? We are the only ones who always treat you as a child. You will be twenty-five after the New Year."
I listened to the conversation between Luo Xiangdong and Kuang Yiyang along the way, and wanted to say something, but in the end I chose silence.
After the car drove into the city, Kuang Yiyang asked Luo Xiangdong to drop him off at the entrance of a nightclub.
Luo Xiangdong asked: "Drink less, don't you have to attend the wedding tomorrow?"
"Well, I know, I won't drink too much. You and your aunt should go home quickly and contact you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to Luo Xiangdong and me, Kuang Yiyang got out of the car and walked to the nightclub.
Looking at his back, I don't know why I have the illusion that he is familiar yet strange, but gradually drifting away.
Maybe Luo Xiangdong saw the confusion in my eyes, and he said aloud: "People always have to grow up."
One sentence sums it all up.
Hey, many times, if the love is right, it is called love, but if the love is wrong, it can only be called youth and ignorance.
After returning to the apartment, I called my family. After my mother found out that I was pregnant, she was surprised at first, and then happy. When I heard that Luo Xiangdong's parents were going to Liangcheng to find employment, my mother's reaction was very real: "Huh? Come to us? Isn't our little place good? How about we go to Night City?"
I had the external voice on on my phone, and Luo Xiangdong sat next to me. He took the call and said, "Auntie, this is Xiangdong."
My mother greeted Luo Xiangdong warmly, and Luo Xiangdong said: "Auntie, I want to marry Zijin, and of course I have to be married to a matchmaker. Then I will go back to Liangcheng with Zijin and my parents. I want to tell you in advance today. Let me know when you are free."
My mother said: "Zi Jin is now five weeks pregnant. We can't get married with a pregnant belly. So this matter really needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
As soon as possible, I really didn't expect it to be so soon.
It had only been four days since both families knew I was pregnant. Luo Xiangdong, Luo Zhenye, and Guan Lin got on the plane to Winter City together.
Since the Luo family is full of sincerity, my parents naturally can't lose their share and come to Dongcheng Airport to pick up the plane in person.
I originally thought that it would be awkward to meet two families who are almost completely different from each other. But the atmosphere after the meeting was unexpectedly good.
Of course, this also has a very important relationship with Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin's lack of airs.
It was exactly noon when we got off the plane. My dad had already booked a hotel in Dongcheng. We returned to Liangcheng after lunch.
After returning to Liangcheng, the parents of both parties first discussed the wedding date, and finally set the wedding date on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Luo Zhenye personally called for a good day, saying it was suitable for marriage.
My parents also wanted to do it sooner rather than later, so the date hit it off.
Regarding the banquet guests, the Luo family didn't even say anything. They only asked us to prepare a guest list. At that time, we will charter a flight to take the people from Winter City to Night City, and they will also charter a flight back after the wedding.
This time Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin came and prepared many expensive gifts for my parents and family. But these are face-to-face gifts, not betrothal gifts.
In terms of betrothal gifts, my family does not require them at all. I am the only daughter in my family, and they still want to give her to me when I get married. But the Luo family is naturally not short of money. To be more precise, Guan Lin only has a son like Luo Xiangdong. Outsiders think that I am marrying with glory, but what the Luo family wants is Luo Xiangdong marrying with glory.
When we were talking about the betrothal gift, Luo Xiangdong and I were not present because we finally came back to Liangcheng and we still had so many relatives and friends to see. Except for those who are very close to me at home, we all did not mention my pregnancy to the public because Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin were quite conservative and felt that the child should not be told to the public if the child was less than three months old.
Luo Xiangdong and I didn't believe this at first, but because of drinking, we were also wary, so we simply followed the wishes of our elders.
After staying in Liangcheng for three full days, I went back to Night City on the fourth day. At this time, the media had already reported the news that I returned to Liangcheng with the Luo family, and the outside world unanimously believed that this was a prelude to my marrying into a wealthy family.
It was originally agreed that I would go to Japan every weekend to see Ji Guanxin. This time I am pregnant and my morning sickness is quite strong. I am not even willing to sit in a car recently, and Luo Xiangdong is even less likely to let me take a four-hour flight to Japan.
I was thinking about how to call Ji Guanxin to tell me about this, and he called me.
He opened his mouth and said, "I've been watching the news. Are you and Luo Xiangdong getting married?"
Hearing this, I had to tell the truth: "I suddenly found out that I'm pregnant, and I'm going to get married. How are you these days?"
Ji Guanxin said: "It's pretty good."
I asked again: "Then we will have a wedding on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Can you come then?"
Ji Guanxin paused for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about it. After a while, he said aloud: "I'll try my best, but I still need to see a doctor."
I immediately said: "It's okay, don't force it, your health is the most important thing. I've been a little nauseous recently. I'll go to Japan to see you after a while."
Ji Guanxin smiled and said: "Congratulations... Zijin."
