Chapter 215: Teasing Xiaomai to set a wedding date
Back then, Mr. He was still struggling over where to give the betrothal gift, should it be to Grandma Jiang's courtyard or to the Lu family? Now that Grandma Jiang has recovered and has been taken home by the Lu family couple to be raised as a mother, Mr. He thought, it's a good opportunity for everyone to be together.
A few days ago, my grandson called and said, "Grandpa, the Lu family is going to hold a family recognition party for Xiaomai."
"Then we have to go, we have to support our grandson's wife." Grandpa He said excitedly, and Grandma He was also smiling happily. Shuhua had been picked up, and her grandson and grandson's wife were busy. She was really bored all day! If she had this opportunity, she had to go!
"Grandpa, you and grandma have to go, but not just to keep up appearances, to propose marriage." He Lingting stated the mission directly.
"Yes! Grandson, your granddaughter-in-law has been with you for such a long time. Although the marriage certificate has been obtained legally, we cannot skip the necessary procedures and we cannot let Xiaomai down." Grandma He strongly agrees with her grandson's approach.
"Yeah!" He Lingting replied.
"Child, do you need anything prepared by grandpa and grandma?"
"No, I will prepare everything. You two elders will be responsible for deciding the wedding date."
"OK then!"
Two days after Xiaomai left, He Lingting had been preparing the betrothal gifts and was busy purchasing properties in Xiaomai's name. Then there was the pile of luxurious betrothal gifts. Xiaomai felt that her life had reached its peak. She felt a little dizzy and it seemed unreal.
Xiaomai was so moved by He Lingting and her parents that her eyes turned red. "Uncle, can I not give up the betrothal gifts? It's too much. You gave it all to me. You should have nothing left."
"Baby, just take what your husband gives you. He still has a lot. Such a small amount won't empty my mind." He Lingting coaxed Xiaomai to take it.
"Yes! Take it, sister! He has plenty of money. The black card he gave you is worth hundreds of millions." Lu Haotian echoed from the side.
"Ah! There are so many! I forgot where I put them. I'll go back and look for them carefully. Don't lose them." Xiaomai said nervously.
"It's okay, sister. It's lost. You have plenty of husbands." Lu Haotian said jokingly.
"That won't do. With so much money, uncle will have to negotiate a lot of business to make it back! I don't want him to work so hard." Xiaomai said unhappily with a pout.
"Oh, this married daughter is like spilled water. She protects her husband without waiting for anything." Sun Meng teased Xiaomai.
"Mom, why are you laughing at me?" Xiaomai said coquettishly with a red face.
"Is that so? I've raised you for twenty years in vain! Xiao Ting hasn't come for the past two days, and you look so absent-minded. I haven't seen your grandma for such a long time, but I've never seen you like this!" Grandma Jiang also teased.
"Grandma, it's not as exaggerated as you say!" Xiaomai hid behind herself in embarrassment.
"Oh, after all, our family has gotten a great bargain. Xiaoting's wife is such a good one. Xiaoting, you must spoil her well in the future!" Grandma He also joined in the fun.
"That's not bad. Your He family is the cheapest, and our Lu family is the one that suffers the most. The granddaughter I just recognized yesterday has become someone else's today! What's going on?" Grandpa Lu complained.
"Whether I get married or not, I will always be grandpa and grandma's granddaughter. I will come back to visit you often." Xiaomai looked at the love that the grandparents had for her, and her heart was filled with happiness.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time to come back. It's okay for you and Xiao Ting to have a few more great-grandchildren to accompany us in the future." Grandma Jiang said with a smile.
"Grandma~" Xiaomai hated her so much that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. After grandma recovered from her illness, her spirits became better and better, and she even started to plan to take care of her great-grandson.
Xiaomai hid in He Lingting's arms. He Lingting touched the little girl's head lovingly, which made everyone laugh. This little girl was so cute.
Everyone joked around for a while and then got back to business.
Mr. He asked, "Xiao Ting, Xiao Mai, when do you think you're going to hold your wedding? We haven't had a wedding in decades, so we must promote it well this time."
"Yes! It's the same in our Lu family. Ever since what happened that year, your parents haven't laughed in many years. It makes me, an old man, sad to see that!" Old Master Lu also said with emotion.
"I'll listen to you, girl." He Lingting said to Xiaomai.
"I, I don't think it's necessary to make it so grand! Uncle and I have been married for half a year, it's enough for our family to know about it!" Xiaomai muttered softly.
"That won't do. How can we, the He family, be so hasty in marrying off our grandson?" Grandpa He disagreed with Xiaomai's idea.
"Yes! You are the daughter of the Lu family, and the Lu family cannot marry off their daughter in a too shabby way." Old Master Lu also disagreed.
"Uncle?" When Xiaomai saw that the old people wanted to hold a wedding, she couldn't make up her mind and asked He Lingting for help.
He Lingting shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. We are grandchildren and can only listen to the elders."
"Baby, you can only think about the wedding time now, don't think about anything else."
"Although I have finished my school courses ahead of time and don't have to go to school, I still have to wait half a year for graduation. I want to have the wedding after graduation. Is that okay?" Xiaomai discussed with everyone.
"Our Lu family agrees. After all, Xiaomai is still young, so it's okay for her to play for another half a year." Lu Haotian responded directly. He really wanted his sister to stay at home for two more years. He also wanted to take his little sister to the army to have a look. Their Lu family is a military family, and their daughters must also meet their sons.
"You have no right to speak." He Lingting glared at him expressionlessly.
"What's the matter? Xiaomai is my sister after all. I took her to the army to gain some experience in the past six months and let her learn some self-defense skills. This way we can rest assured wherever she goes in the future." Lu Haotian said to himself.
"You worry too much. She knows kung fu. I don't think your soldiers can match her."
"Are you serious? Little sister! How can you be so perfect? You let that boy get away with it so easily." Lu Haotian was shocked by He Lingting's words. How could He Lingting be so lucky?
"Grandson-in-law! It's still half a year before you graduate. What do you think, Xiaoting?" Grandpa He turned around and asked his grandson.
"I'll listen to her. Let's do it after graduation!" He Lingting thought, the little girl can't run away anyway, and it won't affect him at all now.
"Okay, then let's all choose an auspicious day!" Seeing that his grandson agreed, Grandpa He didn't have much to say.
"I think August 8th is a good date. What do you think, Xiaoting and Xiaomai?" Grandpa Lu said as he sat aside and flipped through the calendar.
Everyone looked at the calendar and saw that August 8 was an auspicious day for marriage. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then the wedding date will be August 8th, and then our great-grandson should also be put on the agenda!" Grandma He decided on the date and joked at the same time.
"Grandma, why are you here again?" Xiaomai blushed and huddled into He Lingting's arms again...
