Chapter 638: Chapter 638 Meritorious Service Commendation

Luo Qiao returned home just as the bride next door finished paying respects to her elders. Luo Qiao noticed that most of the neighbors had followed the custom of giving a one-yuan gift, and then each family came over to offer congratulations. There were also those who gave fifty cents or two yuan, but there were not many of them.

Luo Qiao followed suit and noted down a one-yuan gift. She found a spot to sit down in her own yard and waited for the banquet to begin.

The yard was bustling with activity. Luo Qiao heard someone at the table next door say, "I heard there’s a girl living in this yard who’s still in school. This yard is really spacious, even larger than the one my whole family lives in."

"What, you got your eye on this place?"

"No, just saying. This yard is really nice. I took a look around when I came in. The backyard isn’t small either, but the fence is locked, so I couldn’t enter."

"With so many people today, I had a look too. They’ve got vegetables growing in the backyard, obviously they didn’t want the kids to trample over everything."

"If only I could live in this yard."

"Your brother and cousins are aplenty. If you married the girl from this yard, wouldn’t you also get the chance to move in here? There are three main rooms in the main house, you know."

"Don’t talk nonsense, we should know where to draw the line even in jest."

"Sigh, Bi Xin, I remember you said before, isn’t your future in-law’s house in this area too?"

"That’s right, just down the alley ahead."

"So you’re trying to foster good neighborly relations ahead of time, no wonder you’re speaking up for them."

"Bi Xin, your family sure knows how to drag out celebrations, it’s taking such a long time."

"It’ll be soon, his training won’t finish until July."

"That’s just a few months away, and the next thing we know, we’ll be drinking to your wedding with Jiang Bo."

By this point, Luo Qiao knew who the girl was, "It seems Qu Meimei has a pretty decent character as the eldest daughter-in-law."

Previously when Qu Meimei was preparing for the wedding, she was getting things ready for her eldest son, Jiang Bo. They were about to set the date when the station offered him a golden opportunity to study, so the wedding had to be postponed.

Luckily, the girl was broad-minded; otherwise, such a delay could have caused dissatisfaction.

Dishes began to arrive one after another, and soon the newlyweds came over to toast. Auntie Zhang introduced everyone at the wedding banquet one by one, and when it was Luo Qiao’s turn, she said, "Yunyun, come over here. This is our neighbor, Luo Qiao, and also the owner of this yard."

Then with a smile to Luo Qiao, she said, "Luo Qiao, this is my youngest daughter-in-law, Hao Yunyun. You’ll both be neighbors now. You young people should mingle more."

Luo Qiao smiled at the couple and said, "I wish you a happy marriage."

The bride and groom replied together, "Thank you."

Upon hearing Auntie Zhang’s introduction, the folks at the next table started to feel awkward, realizing they had been discussing her right in front of her, and each of them shrank back like quails.

Time flew by. Luo Qiao hadn’t returned to Capital City once that semester; instead, she called there every week. It had been a while since Lu Yichen had left, after which he found time to visit her once more.

He didn’t tell Luo Qiao about the commendation for his bravery, fearing she would worry about him. Last time, they were pursuing extremely vicious criminals with heinous crimes in the deep mountains.

Luo Qiao only found out a few days ago when her Fourth Brother Luo Siyuan came to visit. She learned that Lu Yichen had received a commendation from the Ministry of Public Security and had been injured during that operation.

And that must have been around the time he last visited her.

The college entrance exam was next week, and the Luo family had wanted to come over in a group, but Luo Qiao had stopped them, saying that their presence would make her feel pressured.

In truth, she didn’t want her family to go to all that trouble. She was confident, and the family agreed they would come after she had finished her exams and pack up to return to Capital City.

Lu Yichen arrived in Ji City the day before the examination. When Luo Qiao opened the door and saw the person standing outside, she smiled and said, "So you’ve come to accompany me for the exam."

Lu Yichen replied, "Hmm, it’s such an important event, the college entrance exam. I had to come."

Luo Qiao said, "Didn’t we agree over the phone that you didn’t need to come?"

Lu Yi gently touched the top of Luo Qiao’s head, "I wanted to be here with you, to take care of the logistics and ensure you have nothing to worry about, so you can focus on your exams."

Luo Qiao stepped aside to let Lu Yichen in, "You have a seat first, I’m going to freshen up."

As Lu Yichen walked in, he asked, "Do you still need to go to school today?"
