Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Qiaoqiao Asked Me to Come Over

Luo Qiao looked at her second brother Luo Xuyuan, "Second Brother, what have you been busy with recently? Are you getting enough rest? You look skinner."

Luo Xuyuan smiled indulgently and said, "I’m working on something big, I’ll tell you all about it when there are results."

Luo Qiao put down the watering can, covered the basin with the thin plastic film again, and looked at the seedlings poking through, saying, "I think we started the seedling cultivation a bit early."

Sitting there and arranging other seedling pots, Luo Daoren said, "It’s fine, a few days early. That way, the seedlings will be a bit stronger when it’s time."

The next day, the Luo family all gathered at the Luo Family’s Main House. This was Luo Qiao’s first time visiting. The eldest uncle’s family lived in the government family compound. When they arrived, her younger uncle’s family was already there, and it wasn’t long before Luo Haotian arrived with Luo Siyuan.

Unexpectedly, Luo Siyan had also managed to get time off and arrived with the Zheng Family.

The matchmaker from the Zheng Family came along with the betrothal candidate, Zheng Zhiyuan, and his parents and two older brothers.

After Song Shiya from the Luo Family’s Main Wife introduced everyone from their side, it put the Zheng’s parents under some pressure. The matchmaker had only mentioned the situation of this particular branch of the family, just knowing about the third son’s fiancée’s uncles was enough.

But now they found out that the second uncle was the deputy director of a machinery factory, and all of their children were successful in their own right, and the youngest uncle worked for the municipal transport team. Just as everyone had sat down and started chatting, someone else came through the main entrance.

Luo Qiao looked up and saw Lu Yichen wearing a police uniform entering. Initially, the Zheng family members tensed up, wondering if the Luo Family had gotten into some kind of trouble.

Luo Siyuan stood up to greet him, "What brings you here?"

Lu Yichen said, "Qiaoqiao asked me to come."

As soon as he said that, glares from four irate uncles and a future father-in-law shot his way. Had the occasion been different, it was likely that all five would have been beating him up.

Luo Qiao rolled her eyes. This guy wanted to take the opportunity to settle everything at once; she was speechless and gave him a warning look.

Lu Yichen immediately behaved himself.

Luo Daoren got up and introduced, "This is another younger member of our family, Lu Yichen, who works at the city’s Public Security Bureau."

After Lu Yichen exchanged greetings, he sat down beside Luo Qiao. His presence did indeed make the Zheng parents take their future daughter-in-law even more seriously.

The two families quickly agreed on the engagement. A betrothal gift of two hundred yuan was given, along with a wristwatch and two lengths of fabric. The betrothal gift was quite substantial.

Right then, Song Shiya said, "We’ll let Jialin take her bicycle from her previous job with her. I’ll add a little more to the two hundred yuan betrothal gift and provide a sewing machine and a radio as a dowry, together with the watch you brought today. That way, she’ll have all ’three rounds and a sound.’"

The wedding date was also set for ten days later, on the 28th day of the second lunar month. Since both families had already agreed on it before the New Year, it wasn’t a rushed affair, and the preparations were all in place.

After seeing off the Zheng family, Lu Yichen also took his leave since he had to work that afternoon. Luo Qiao escorted him out, and then Luo Haotian turned grim as he followed by Luo Xuyan and his three brothers.

It wasn’t long before the five siblings walked back in together, with Luo Haotian giving Luo Qiao a glaring look.

Luo Qiao chuckled and sat beside him.

Luo Haotian whispered, "I’ll deal with you later."

Luo Daoren pulled out ten Big Unity bills from his pocket and said, "Jialin, take this money for yourself, and buy whatever you need."

Luo Jialin was a little embarrassed, but it was Luo Haoxuan who said, "Just take it; it’s from Grandma and Grandpa."

Luo Haotian and Luo Haoqing had already agreed that each family would contribute a hundred yuan to the dowry, so they handed the money to Luo Jialin. Gu Hongjuan said, "Just accept it, it’s our way of showing we care. Have a good life from now on."

Then the two daughters-in-law from the Main House each contributed fifty yuan and said a few words of blessing. The family also made a list of odds and ends, so they wouldn’t forget anything when shopping.

Having seen the list, Luo Qiao knew she had almost everything in her space since she had stocked up so much last time and hadn’t sold it yet, so she said, "I know someone who can get these things for us a lot cheaper."

Song Shiya from the Main House asked, "Won’t that be too much trouble?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "No worries, I’ll go to her place the day after tomorrow to pick up the items."

She thought to herself that she had nearly forgotten about the stock in her space; what a big oversight that was.
