You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 323 Wedding Banquet?

With a slight sigh, Lu Yuanqing handed the cured meat in his hand to Lu Yuanbo, then reached out and took a few more pieces of sausage and ribs.

Yeah, what can you do but chase after them and stop them?

Once we get the marriage certificate, Lu Mingnan will definitely bring her back. Then he can treat Liu Ling to vegetables and sweet potatoes on her first visit.

"Yuanbo, go tell Xiaodong and Uncle, then go to town and see if you can buy some fish or meat." Lu Yuanqing quickly made a decision and started making arrangements. "Xiaobei, Xiaobei, go and call his uncle to help me cook. Xiaozhong, Xiaozhong, come here, I have a task for you: clean the house for me..."

"Uncle Zhao, please stay for dinner later!"

The news brought by Zhao Zhongcai immediately set the entire Lu family in motion.

Lu Mingbei went to call Cheng Jun and his son, while Lu Mingzhong began sweeping and cleaning.

Lu Yuanbo went home and told Xie Qianyu to come and help. Then he went to the Cheng family and Lu Guobin's house to tell them the news. He didn't have time to explain and rushed to the town.

Worried that the supplies from the supply and marketing cooperative would be sold out, he ran as fast as he could.

……

Just as the Lu family was busy preparing a big meal to welcome Liu Ling, Lu Mingnan had already returned to the village. After thanking Cheng Ming, he took Liu Ling home at a snail's pace.

Liu Ling went from finding it funny at first to being speechless now, and even rolled her eyes.

"It's not that I'm not presentable, Lu Mingnan. Do you intend to stay with me forever?"

Lu Mingnan hurriedly said, "No, you're great. Your third uncle and the others definitely like you. They asked me to call you home for dinner a long time ago."

"only……"

"Just what?" Liu Ling asked.

Lu Mingnan was at a loss for words. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a pleading tone, "Liu, wife, if—and I mean if—when we get back, Uncle San wants to break my legs, will you help me?"

Liu Ling couldn't believe it: "You got your leg broken while helping me?"

Lu Mingnan choked, speechless. "What?! How could Third Uncle possibly break your leg? He'd only break mine. But if you help persuade him, maybe I can save my leg. You'll help me, right?"

Liu Ling: "...How can I help?"

To be honest, she really didn't want to help.

On her first visit, she met Lu Mingnan's closest family members, and she wanted to make a good impression.

"Speak first! Even if I help you, I alone, plus the two of you, can't beat your whole family!"

Lu Mingnan: "..." 6!

"Oh, Uncle San was right! Some people are so bold that they don't even dare to go home!"

The familiar voice made them both look over at the same time.

Not far from them, Lu Mingdong stood with his arms crossed, watching them expressionlessly.

Liu Ling: "..."

Lu Mingnan: "..."

"Brother Xiaodong!"

Lu Mingdong completely ignored his pitiful appearance, his icy voice like spitting ice, "Who's your brother? You didn't even tell us you were getting married? Do we even know each other?"

Liu Ling stood in front of Lu Mingnan and said, "This is my fault. I dragged Lu Mingnan to get the marriage certificate without telling you first. I'm sorry!"

Lu Mingnan was tall and strong, and Liu Ling's small frame couldn't hide him at all.

But when Lu Mingdong looked over with his cold gaze, Lu Mingnan, who met his gaze, lowered his head, shrank his body and hid behind Liu Ling, and even secretly gave Liu Ling a thumbs up.

Lu Mingdong's eye twitched, speechless!

"Let's go home first! Uncle and the others are waiting!"

……

Lu Mingnan was terrified!

After all, Lu Yuanqing was his favorite family member, and also the person he feared the most.

It might be the lingering effect of tutoring homework in the past.

Who made him an exception at the time, able to receive tutoring from Lu Yuanqing?

No one else needs it at all.

Lu Yuanqing, who was tutoring, was like a completely different person.

Moreover, his third uncle was no ordinary person; many of his ideas felt very different to him, unlike most men here.

Like today's incident where someone went to get their marriage certificate without permission.

For most families, it would be a joyous occasion if their child got married to a college student, and they might even feel a little proud.

However, in Lu Yuanqing's view, this matter showed that he did not value Liu Ling, that he had ulterior motives and that he had wronged her.

Lu Yuanqing disliked corporal punishment.

In fact, he is very reasonable.

It's definitely not the kind of thing where you hear your child has done something and then slap them across the face without listening to their explanation.

He will patiently wait for you to explain before he starts to lecture you.

However, if he goes too far, he will also have to be disciplined with physical punishment.

Lu Mingnan was naturally very scared.

But he didn't expect that when he brought Liu Ling home, he would be greeted by a whole family of congratulations, with a table full of dishes, just waiting for them to come back for dinner!

Even Lu Yuanqing offered his congratulations.

Lu Mingnan immediately relaxed and pulled Liu Ling to sit down and eat.

Receiving his family's blessings was the third happiest thing for him today.

The first thing was that Liu Ling said she liked him.

The second thing was that he got married, to the girl he liked.

The third thing is the support and blessings of family.

Lu Mingnan was so happy that he chatted and laughed with Lu Yuanqing and the others while taking care of Liu Ling so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

Uh!

He was just being delusional!

Liu Ling was more adept at handling things than him. Everyone present knew her. Even though the way she was addressed had changed, she was never a timid girl. She chatted and laughed with Xie Qianyu and the others in a very open and generous manner.

Lu Mingnan chuckled as he read it.

This was the happiest day of his year!

then……

At this happiest moment of his life, Lu Yuanqing looked at him with a faint smile and said, "Come out with me for a moment!"

After Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out the door.

Lu Mingnan's smile froze on his face. Amid Lu Yuanbo's gloating laughter, he sighed and got up to leave.

"Mingnan!"

Liu Ling pulled Lu Mingnan back, looking at him with concern.

Lu Mingnan smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "You eat first, I'll go out for a bit, don't worry!"

If his third uncle hadn't broken his leg the moment he entered, he wouldn't have had this thought.

Liu Ling watched his departing figure with some worry.

Xie Qianyu picked up a piece of pork rib for her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Third Brother won't make things difficult for him."

Liu Ling smiled at her.

……

Lu Yuanqing hadn't gone far; he was right at his doorstep.

The moon is now very round, shining in the sky so that they can see.

The rural area still doesn't have electricity. Zhao Zhongcai should go to the commune to find out more. The higher-ups are already planning to send some electricity to their area.

We strive to make Shihua Village the first village in the area to have electricity.

Having served as the village accountant for many years, Lu Yuanqing habitually thinks about the village's development.

Lost in thought, he was interrupted by the faint footsteps behind him and turned to look at Lu Mingnan, who was slowly walking towards him.

Lu Yuanqing sighed subconsciously, "How can I be at ease with you like this?"

Lu Yuanqing felt a little sorry for him.

Everyone in the family has the right to decide about going to Kyoto.

But Lu Mingnan was the only one who didn't have it.

Lu Yuanqing didn't know if Lu Mingnan really liked staying in the village.

It's one thing that he likes bamboo weaving, but he has the opportunity to go to a bustling city like Kyoto, but he can't go. Does that mean he has some thoughts about that?

Lu Mingnan looked up at Lu Yuanqing, "Third Uncle, are you worried about me?"

He's quite well-behaved, isn't he?

He has always seemed to be the most well-behaved child in the family.

After all, he had decided on his favorite career since he was a child. Learning bamboo weaving requires patience, and he could sit in the bamboo weaving factory all day long and learn from his master.

Even if he wasn't very good at studying, he certainly didn't do anything that would bother Lu Yuanqing!

Even Xiao Bei had his parents called in for fighting, but he never did.

He always thought he was the person who made Lu Yuanqing's life the easiest, and he was very proud of it.

Lu Yuanqing: "You only care about the present and not the future. Do you think you're being easy to deal with?"

Where did they get the nerve?

Lu Mingnan: "..." Okay! He knew that getting the marriage certificate today would be a topic of conversation for him forever.

"Third Uncle, I can explain this..."

Lu Mingnan then gave a detailed and quick explanation of everything that had happened to him that day.

Including the entire process of him getting his marriage certificate in a daze.

Lu Yuanqing was stunned.

What a whirlwind marriage registration process!

“Uh, Liu Zhiqing, no, my niece-in-law is quite fierce!” Lu Yuanqing said.

Lu Mingnan smiled, a hint of doting on his face, "She is more courageous and decisive than I am."

Lu Yuanqing: "..." He even started praising her!

"Do her family know about this? What do her parents think? You just married her so easily, aren't you afraid they'll break your legs?"

Interrupted again?

Lu Mingnan said that he doesn't want to hear the words "broken leg" again this year.

"Third Uncle, Xiaoling's family doesn't have a very good relationship with her!"

This is still a euphemistic way of putting it.

Liu Ling's family treated her badly!

Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow slightly, understanding the implication in his words. "No matter what, since you two have already registered your marriage, you need to inform each other's parents. As for how you treat each other, that depends on how they treat you now that you're married!"

“You married that girl without saying a word. Even if... you need to prepare everything that’s due to your niece-in-law. You can’t just let it go because you’re married.”

Lu Yuanqing can still remember an older woman at his internship company in his previous life, who was from the same village as her husband.

When the two were dating and preparing for marriage, the man's parents often said things like "we need to prepare this and that."

After the couple got their marriage certificate and planned to go home for the Chinese New Year to hold a banquet, the groom's parents started saying things like, "We've already saved on everything for the wedding, so there's no need to waste anything."

From then on, this personal example became the advice the older sister gave to the younger girl: she must hold a wedding banquet before getting the marriage certificate.

So as not to let the other party try to save money on everything.

Whenever this topic comes up, Lu Yuanqing, as one of only three men in the office, can always feel the other girls glancing at him when they hear this example.

That's why he still remembers it so vividly.

"Don't think that just because you're already married, you can save money on everything. That's not fair to Liu Zhiqing." Lu Yuanqing originally wanted to hand Lu Mingnan over and give him a scolding.

But since 'children are all debts,' let's try to make it up to Liu Ling!

Lu Mingnan naturally had no objection; in fact, he was quite pleased.
