Chapter 619: Chapter 619 New Year, Welcoming the Bride

Lu Yichen knew Luo Qiao had returned, and since his unit was not busy these days, he came to pick her up to watch a movie. After that, they strolled through the department store. Knowing that she would return to Ji City after the New Year to prepare for her exams, he insisted on buying her a Hero fountain pen and a Walkman as New Year gifts.

On New Year’s Eve, members of the various branches of the family returned early. This year, everyone had their own room, and the TV prepared for Luo Xuyan had been installed in the living room on the first floor after getting Woo Yunmei’s approval earlier that day.

In the kitchen, Grandma, along with my aunt and my younger aunt, was busy preparing lunch, while my two older cousins and my fourth brother were hanging the red lanterns that Grandfather had specially prepared in advance at the entrance and under the eaves of the courtyard.

Big Brother and the second brother were ready to put up the couplets Grandfather had written, with younger male and female cousins following behind, carrying things. Grandfather was cleaning the snow in and outside the courtyard with my eldest uncle and my youngest uncle, while Luo Qiao’s face was filled with smiles as she watched the busy family.

Luo Haotian didn’t arrive until it was almost lunchtime, as he had first gone back to the machinery factory to deal with Zhao Jianing’s remaining personal effects before changing clothes and joining the family.

Lunch was simple, mainly because the emphasis was on the New Year’s Eve dinner. Except for the third brother who couldn’t come back because he was in the military, all the family members were present.

This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was truly lavish, featuring cold mixed vegetables, cured sausage, century egg with tofu, crispy peanuts, bok choy with mushrooms, orange-flavored lotus root, duck rolls with egg yolk, squirrel fish, boiled shrimp, braised pork, sauced ribs, and four-happiness meatballs.

There were also two desserts, glutinous rice cake, and fermented rice with pumpkin. As the dishes were served one after another and everyone took their seats, Luo Daoren said, "This year we have built a new house, and next year during the first month we will have a wedding to celebrate. It truly is one joyous event after another.

Here I want to wish everyone a successful year ahead in work and studies, and may our Luo Family be even better year after year."

Everyone raised their glasses together and enjoyed the New Year’s Eve dinner in a lively atmosphere. Luo Qiao even stepped out to make several calls during the meal before joining the family to stay up for the New Year and boil dumplings.

The next day, bright and early, Luo Daoren took his grandchildren out to wish people a happy new year and to inform the neighbors that Luo Xuyan would get married on the ninth day of the first lunar month and to invite them to the wedding feast.

After lunch, everyone sat together to confirm the guest list. Once it was settled, Luo Daoren asked, "What’s the status with his mother’s side, Haotian?"

Luo Haotian sighed and said, "Let Xuyan make his own decision on this matter."

Everyone looked towards Luo Xuyan, who was sitting aside, and he calmly said, "Let’s just forget it, to avoid complications and making everyone unhappy. Just communicate with my uncle and that will be fine."

With that decided, everyone began to busy themselves with their own tasks.

That day, Luo Haotian handed the money for the refrigerator to Luo Qiao, saying, "Qiaoqiao, keep this money for yourself."

Luo Qiao stared at the money in Luo Haotian’s hand, "Why are you giving me money?"

Luo Haotian looked at Luo Qiao, "The refrigerator is a big purchase, how could I let you pay for it?"

Luo Qiao did not take the money, "That was my wedding gift for Big Brother. When the second, third, and fourth brothers get married, I will treat them the same. You know I have the capability now."

Luo Haotian said, "As the sister, you should be taken care of by them..."

Luo Qiao smiled and responded, "Dad, I call this an investment. By the time I get married, all four brothers should be married by then. I’ll have them all bleed a little."

Luo Haotian had no way to argue with his daughter, so he reluctantly took the money.

Time flew by quickly, and the ninth day of the first lunar month soon arrived. The Luo Family started receiving help from the afternoon of the previous day, and all the food for the wedding day was purchased by Luo Qiao.

Of course, this time the Luo’s Elderly Couple insisted on paying, thinking that the farm Luo Qiao co-owned with others was just a partnership, and she, finding it too troublesome, didn’t bother to explain otherwise.

Luo Haotian asked some comrades to arrange for a jeep and a small truck for the bridal procession, and unexpectedly, Lu Yichen wanted to show off, so he also arranged for two more cars on the day. When the four vehicles arrived at the Woo Family Building, they were the envy of many.

The Woo Family provided bedding and clothes as dowry, along with a sewing machine and a watch. There was also the TV and refrigerator previously sent over. Onlookers grew even more excited with their discussions, filled with admiration and jealousy at the display of prosperity.
