Chapter 162: Chapter 159: Xue Jianian Gets Married

Luo Xinyue attended the Xue Jianian’s room tour with great joy. The bedroom boasted four quilts, a radio, a sewing machine—three rounds with a ding and they were set.

Seeing her envious look, Lu Jingqiu teased her, "If you want one, just hurry up and get married. Let your Shang Ze buy them for you."

"Don’t provoke me. I could really go through with getting married."

Xue Jianian found Luo Xinyue quite amusing and very much to her liking; she was glad to have made her acquaintance.

"Niannian, where are we going tomorrow?"

"We’re going to my godparents’ place. Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence, my godfather is a teacher at your school. I don’t know if you know him—his last name is Shi."

"Ah."

"It can’t be the Professor Shi we’re thinking of, can it?"

"My godfather is named Shi Weili, and my godmother is Shen Qiushui."

"Pfft, cough cough..."

Luo Xinyue was so shocked she choked on her saliva. Lu Jingqiu laughed and said, "Professor Shi is our class advisor. This is too much of a coincidence."

Xue Jianian was also surprised. She had not expected this, "I only knew that my godfather loves to paint, and my godmother does too, but which class he teaches, I have no idea."

Luo Xinyue said, "Professor Shen teaches Chinese painting. Although we haven’t attended her class, we’re still aware of some things."

Lu Jingqiu suggested, "Since it’s such a coincidence, let’s just go directly to the teacher’s house tomorrow. We know the place."

"It’s a hassle for you, but since there’s no car to pick you up, you’ll have to come over by yourselves."

"It’s no trouble at all. We’ll come over early tomorrow and get you all dolled up."

After making their plans, Lu Jingqiu and Luo Xinyue left, and Xue Jianian locked the door preparing to head back to her godparents’.

After a while, Wei Jincheng came over with his friends. She had already been quite improper today since they didn’t know anyone here.

Her parents were busy decorating the house and couldn’t leave.

Waiting to go home to pick out the bridesmaid dresses, Luo Xinyue did not dawdle and rode off on her bike, while Lu Jingqiu also left for the house.

The yard was somewhat untidy at the moment with the roof being plastered with cement, and Uncle Lew hurried over with his donkey cart to deliver ceramic tiles.

Jiang Nanzhou, not wanting the cement in the yard to dirty her shoes, asked her to come inside until he and Uncle Lew had unloaded the tiles, and then carried her on his back into the yard.

Facing the glances of the uncles and young men in the yard, Lu Jingqiu’s cheeks blushed red.

Once inside the house, Jiang Nanzhou set her down and, touching one of her braids, said, "Tired, right? Sit on the stool and rest for a bit. Once the cement work is done, we’ll leave."

"Okay."

Lu Jingqiu saw that the roof was nearly finished, and the ground in the woodshed had also begun to be worked on.

After the cement was mixed, it was spread out and leveled to make it smoother. Lu Jingqiu had the uncles sprinkle a layer of pure cement mix directly on top.

It took an hour to smooth everything out, and by the time they finished, it was already past six. Before they left, the uncle said he would come to sort out the kitchen the next day.

Jiang Nanzhou gave the uncle a key, explaining that they wouldn’t have time to come by the next day.

Since they only had pastries for lunch, they couldn’t go hungry again in the evening. Jiang Nanzhou took her to the same restaurant they had visited before.

They ordered two bowls of white rice, a braised pork dish, and there was a generous serving of carp with tofu for tonight.

The two of them almost couldn’t finish their meal, and Lu Jingqiu was thinking whether she should bring a lunch box next time, so she could pack up any leftovers.

"I’ll take you home first, then head over to Wei Jincheng’s place. I won’t be able to pick you up early tomorrow, can you ride your bike by yourself?"

Lu Jingqiu shook her head, "Drop me off at the bus station. I’ll take the bus back directly. Keep the bicycle, and after tomorrow, we can ride home together. I’ll be visiting my teacher’s home early tomorrow." After saying this, she shared with Jiang Nanzhou the relationship between Xue Jianian and her teacher.

Jiang Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You guys are really something."

"Tell me about it, I had no idea before."

She was quite reflective, thinking that in her previous life, her teacher often appeared in the park for exercise. She had thought the teacher was living a blissful life; who would have guessed she had suffered so much when she was young.

Of course, whether in her previous life or this one, the teacher’s later years were still quite good. Having weathered the hard times, she enjoyed the sweet life, and on top of that, she had an outstanding goddaughter like Xue Jianian.

She could also tell that in this life, Wei Jincheng and Gao Shu still didn’t get along, but he was no longer scheming after Xia Lin.

After all, as a reincarnated person, how could Xia Lin repeat the same path of her previous life? Even if Wei Jincheng was the same as before, Xia Lin was unlikely to be deceived by his sweet nothings again.

She hoped that in this life, Xue Jianian would be able to keep Wei Jincheng in check.

When Lu Jingqiu got home, she searched her closet for a long time and finally chose a light yellow floral skirt with a white polka-dot short-sleeved blouse on top. It was simple and elegant and wouldn’t overshadow the bride.

Early the next morning, while it was still dusk, Lu Jingqiu woke up to catch the bus. After changing buses twice, she arrived at the school staff dormitory at 6:40 AM.

The door was opened by Professor Shi, who saw her and said with a smile, "Classmate Lu, the teacher really appreciates your coming to add joy to Niannian. Her mother and I only found out last night that you guys are actually friends."

"Professor Shi, we were quite surprised when we found out yesterday, too."

"Classmate Luo is already inside. You girls should hurry in and chat," he encouraged.

Lu Jingqiu saw a few teachers had already arrived in the living room. She nodded at them and went into the room.

Teacher Shen saw her come in and smiled, "You must be hungry after traveling so early. Help yourself to some pastries on the table. I’ll go and make a few fried eggs for the three of you."

"Teacher Shen, you don’t need to go to such trouble."

"It’s no trouble. Go ahead and talk amongst yourselves."

When Teacher Shen left, Luo Xinyue pulled Lu Jingqiu aside, "Jingqiu, look at how good Niannian’s skin is, she doesn’t even need to wear makeup."

Luo Xinyue was also wearing a pink skirt today, with a white floral-patterned blouse. The two were quite in sync.

"She’s always had beautiful skin," Lu Jingqiu remarked while looking at Xue Jianian who had only put on lipstick and already looked gorgeous.

Today she wore a long red dress, had braided her hair and draped it at the back, with a red veil on top of her head now trailing behind her, and red bracelets wrapped around both wrists, looking very attractive.

Lu Jingqiu sincerely complimented, "Niannian, you look truly beautiful today."

Luo Xin also said, "Indeed beautiful, I bet the groom will be star-struck the moment he sees you."

Even Xue Jianian, who was usually so outgoing, felt a bit shy when the two of them stared at her like that, "Stop teasing me, you two. Can you help me check if I’m missing anything?"

"You’re not missing anything, you’re already very beautiful. Especially with your figure, where was this dress made?"

"My mom found an old tailor who specializes in making cheongsams. This fabric is also silk-woven. She contacted a textile factory manager to get this piece of fabric."

"Wow, Teacher Shen really went out of her way for you."

Both felt that Xue Jianian was very lucky to have such caring godparents.
