Chapter 244: Chapter 236: Family in Capital City

When Xue Jianian heard that she was getting married next week, he almost dropped his jaw in shock, "I listen to Luo Xinyue talking about marriage all the time, and I thought you would be later than them. Usually, when I ask you, you don’t know, you’re not sure, now why is it so sudden?"

Jiang Nanzhou replied, "It’s not sudden, the wedding should have been held last year during the New Year, it’s just been delayed until now, by then, you and Comrade Wei must come over."

Xue Jianian nodded repeatedly, "Definitely, definitely. Whatever you need, I assure you I can get it for you."

"Fish, chicken, ducks, we need to order all of them from you."

"No problem."

Xue Jianian’s business here was really good, over this week, some of the neighbors also knew about her store’s opening hours.

Many families had tried her food, whether it was vegetables or meat, fruit, they all thought it tasted good.

So every evening after dinner, some people would come over to buy some vegetables to keep for the next day.

She ordered eighteen chickens and ducks, and the extra ones were for reserve.

Lu Jingqiu paid Xue Jianian directly for them.

Xue Jianian, looking at the over one hundred yuan, said with a smile, "I’ll take this money, haha, but on your wedding day, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Lu Jingqiu smiled, "I’ll be waiting."

"Luo Xinyue doesn’t know yet, right?"

"Hmm, I only found out this week, haven’t had the chance to tell her yet."

"She’ll probably be shocked tomorrow."

When Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou arrived, it was already quite late, and after talking with Xue Jianian, more customers began to arrive, so the two didn’t stay long before leaving.

This was the first time Jiang Nanzhou had come over since the storefront was finished; it was quite conspicuous from the outside.

The sign hung up was visible from a great distance, clearly advertising what was sold here.

"Has this house been rented out too?"

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "Yeah, I’ve let my second cousin use it, he’s planning to do wholesale electronics. These past few days he’s been following their team leader to buy vehicles out of town."

"Do you have a share in it?"

"Yeah, roughly ten thousand yuan. All the money I’ve earned recently has gone to my cousin."

Jiang Nanzhou said, "If the money isn’t enough, you shouldn’t keep the savings booklet I gave you."

Lu Jingqiu shook her head, "It’s not necessary yet, besides, I don’t want to spend all my money recklessly."

"What do you mean ’you all’? Aren’t we a family now?"

"Hmm... Yes, we are a family."

"If we’re a family, there’s no need to be so clear-cut about it. The money I give you, you can do whatever you want with it. Just keep enough for us to live on."

"Yeah, I understand."

Although she said that, she couldn’t disregard buying houses and land just because she knew about some things in the future, after all, Grandpa Jiang was getting older, and her father was in poor health.

It was necessary to save some money for the elders, in case there was an emergency that required funds; they wouldn’t be caught off guard.

The next day, Lu Jingqiu returned to school and told her classmates about getting married this week.

Several classmates were eager to be bridesmaids.

Lu Jingqiu said, "You guys will definitely be bridesmaids. The wedding is on Sunday, so you don’t have to ask for leave specifically."

Luo Xinyue smiled, "I really didn’t expect you to get married so soon, I thought you’d wait until the holidays."

"I thought so too before, but my dad is about to be transferred away from here. He will be very busy there, and he’s afraid he’ll miss my wedding, so it was moved up."

"That makes sense, and actually getting married now is pretty good since your house is already in order. Ready-made, right? Have you gotten your marriage certificate?"

"Yes, last Saturday."

Luo Xinyue was curious about what the marriage certificate looked like, but unfortunately, she didn’t bring it with her.

He Yu and Chen Qingru asked her if the wedding dress was ready, and Lu Jingqiu replied, "Before New Year’s, my aunt and I saw a red wool coat at the department store, it’s still wearable in this season. Nanzhou said he has also prepared one for me; I can see it when I go back this week."

A few people started teasing again as soon as they heard this.

Every day this week, Lu Jingqiu was filled with anticipation. On Thursday, she went to the office and informed Zhang Miao and Yang Bo about her upcoming wedding, but she did not tell anyone else.

On Friday, she even took a day off from Teacher Shi and sent an invitation to Professor Shi.

Upon seeing it was a wedding, Professor Shi promptly replied with a smile, saying he would come with Niannian that day.

Finally, it was Friday, and Jingqiu thought that Jiang Nanzhou would come to pick her up. Instead, she found Shen Mu and Shen Ting, the two brothers, standing at the door.

"Shen Ting, you’re here too?"

Shen Ting replied with a bashful smile, "How could I not come when my second brother is getting married? Besides, the whole family is here."

"Don’t you have college entrance exams coming up soon?"

"The exams won’t mind these two days. Besides, I have my eldest brother and sister-in-law with me."

"Eldest brother and sister-in-law are here too? Then is Yuxian here as well?"

Shen Mu said, "They all came. They arrived yesterday and went to see your new house in the morning; they are all at the compound now.

Eldest brother couldn’t get away, so he sent me to pick you up. Xiao Ting insisted on coming with."

Lu Jingqiu said, "Shen Mu, did you take the day off today?"

"Mhm."

"Xiao Ting, do you want to visit our school?"

"Maybe some other time." Shen Ting didn’t dare let his second brother wait at home for too long.

Lu Jingqiu laughed: "Alright then, let’s go."

Jingqiu rode in Shen Mu’s car, while Shen Ting followed behind on his own bike.

Shen Ting said, "Although I haven’t roamed around West City much, the development here seems even better than in Capital City. Look at the clothes people here are wearing; they’re nicer than those in Capital City."

Jingqiu laughed and said, "This place is close to cities like Shanghai and Yangcheng City, and it’s influenced by them. The trend in clothes and other things usually starts from there."

Shen Ting was very eager to go to the department store, but sadly there was no time these two days.

After everyone arrived home, Jingqiu immediately spotted her aunt welcoming guests in the living room.

She ran forward excitedly and said, "Auntie."

Zhou Lanqin affectionately smiled and said, "You child, you’re about to start a family and you’re still so spirited. Your grandpa, grandma, they’re all here."

Feeling a bit shy, Jingqiu smiled and, seeing Grandpa Jiang chatting with her dad, confidently went over to greet them.

"Grandpa Jiang, Aunt Shen, Uncle Shen, eldest brother, sister-in-law."

"Xiao Qiu, come sit down, school must be tiring, right?" Grandpa Shen said with a smile.

"Not tiring, grandpa, you must be more tired, having to travel so far to come here."

Hearing this, Grandpa Jiang laughed heartily, feeling gratified, "Attending your wedding is the happiest occasion for me, no distance is too far."

Mrs. Shen was beside her, holding her hand and saying, "We went to see your new place yesterday; you’ve arranged it very nicely."

Her sister-in-law said with a look of envy, "Nanzhou said you did up the house; truly, students of art have a distinct touch. It’s simple, yet has so much style."

The naive Yuxian chimed in, "Auntie, can I live with you in the future?"

Jingqiu hugged Yuxian and said, "Of course, you can. How about you come here for school later? That way, not only will you be able to see your second uncle and aunt often, but you can also frequently visit your third uncle."

"What about mom and dad, and grandpa and grandma?"

"Your mom and dad have to work, naturally, they couldn’t come."

Upon hearing he wouldn’t be able to see his parents, the little guy shook his head like a rattle drum, "I don’t want to; I want to be with my mom and dad. Third uncle should stay instead."

As he said this, he didn’t forget to wriggle out from her arms, afraid of being really left behind by Jingqiu.

His antics made the whole family laugh heartily.
