Chapter 283: Meeting Neighbors

Chapter 283 Meeting the Neighbor

"I heard from Qingqing that there is a canteen in the power station. I will treat my colleagues to a banquet in the canteen at noon that day. You will go there in the morning and pick up the bride after the banquet. It is up to you to arrange the banquet in the evening."

"Grandma, I will arrange this." Xiang Yisen promised.

Xiang's father also quickly promised, "Don't worry, grandma, we will arrange these things and we will never wrong Qingqing."

On Yu Qing's side, the two parents were happily discussing the marriage, while on the other hand, Chen Yuzhu and Qiao Daming were having a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with their families.

Since the two came to the city last time to get the certificate, they went back to discuss it. Qiao Daming felt that he could not wrong Chen Yuzhu, but at least got the blessing of his family.

They both belong to a long line of brothers and sisters in the family, and they are sandwiched between them as beings whose father does not care for their mother.

I don't have the energy or money to take care of them when it comes to major life events, such as buying a house and getting married. If you want to live a good life, you can only rely on yourself.

They didn't try to get married on May Day, but chose April 26th. Since both of them had pooled their savings to buy a house, they didn't have much money to spend.

After discussion, we decided not to have a drink.

Just send wedding candies among colleagues to let everyone know that they are getting married, and the parents will each bring gifts to go through the ceremony.

It was their turn to take a vacation today, and it was already 12 noon when they arrived in the city.

"Let's find a place to eat first." Chen Yuzhu said.

"Okay, where to eat?" Qiao Daming carried a bag in his hand, which contained some dried bamboo shoots that he had dried during this period, which he planned to give to both parties' families.

"I heard Yu Qing say last time that there are food stalls next to the park gate. Let's go eat next to the park. It just so happens that the bus station is not far from the park."

"Let's go, after dinner, we will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts."

The two of them walked out of the bus station for about half an hour before arriving at the entrance of the park. There were many mobile stalls set up in the side alley next to them.

Qiao Daming saw at least ten mobile stalls selling various snacks, pasta, etc. He looked at Chen Yuzhu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Wontons, I haven't eaten them for a long time." Chen Yuzhu sniffed and looked at the wonton stall in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.

"Then wontons." Qiao Daming pulled her to sit on the small bench in front of the stall, "Boss, please have two bowls of wontons."

Chen Yuzhu saw that the stall next to him was selling pasta, "Are you full with one bowl of wontons? Why don't you buy two more pancakes?"

Qiao Daming was warmed by the other party's caring words. He squeezed her hand and said with a smile, "That's enough. I just saw it. A bowl of wontons is a lot."

The wontons arrived soon, in large bowls and generous portions.

In the morning, he ate a bowl of noodles in a hurry, walked from the power station to the county seat, and then took a bus to the city. Chen Yuzhu was already hungry.

She couldn't wait to scoop up a big wonton, blew it and put it into her mouth, "Ho ho ho! It's delicious. Da Ming, eat it quickly, it tastes good. It's a long-lost delicacy. I haven't eaten it since I went to the countryside."

Already."

"Then you eat more, but be careful not to burn it." Qiao Daming also took a bite. It was really good. The skin was thin and the filling was big. It was made from real ingredients.

"Yuzhu, why are you here?"

An exclamation woke up the young couple who were immersed in the delicious food. Chen Yuzhu raised his head and looked at the visitor, "Lili, I didn't expect that we met here by such a coincidence. Come and sit down."

Then she discovered that Cheng Lili was accompanied by a gay man. She asked in confusion: "Lili, who is this person?"

"Oh." Cheng Lili pulled the young man beside her and introduced: "This is my partner, named Shou Xiaojun, an employee of the porcelain factory. This is my neighbor Chen Yuzhu, and this is..."

She looked at Qiao Daming, a very energetic young man, and said, "Yuzhu, why don't you introduce me?"

Chen Yuzhu pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "He is a colleague who works at the power station with me, but now it's me..."

"Object?" Cheng Lili couldn't wait to answer.

Chen Yuzhu shook his head, "No, it's my lover."

"What? You're married?"

Qiao Daming coughed and said, "Comrade Cheng, Comrade Shou, it's rare that we meet today. If you have anything to do, please sit down and talk slowly."

Cheng Lili sat down and took Chen Yuzhu's hand, asking eagerly: "When did you get the evidence?"

"Just some time ago."

Qiao Daming smiled at Shou Xiaojun: "You haven't had lunch yet. You can order whatever you want. We met by chance today, so I'll treat you."

Chen Yuzhu also responded, "Yes, Lili, do you like to eat wontons? This wonton restaurant does a good job."

"It's our first time to meet." Shou Xiaojun was embarrassed to let his partner's friends pay the bill, so he scrambled to pay.

Cheng Lili did not pay attention to the dispute between the two men, but told Chen Yuzhu about the bad things in her family.

"Your mother's colleague introduced a man to your sister. A few days ago, your mother's colleague brought that man to your house for a visit."

Chen Yuzhu hummed lightly, and there was no need to think that it must be because her sister had a very high level of vision, and most men could not catch her eye.

"I saw that man in his mid-twenties. He is about the same height as my brother-in-law. He looks good. I heard he is an employee of a beverage factory."

"My sister must be disgusted by the poor efficiency and low wages in other factories. She doesn't work in a public institution. She won't be able to support her family in the future."

"You can guess right. That's what your sister really said. At that time, she insulted the man and left without even eating."

Chen Yuzhu curled his lips, "I grew up together, and I know her virtues very well. She didn't even think about it. She is a twenty-four-year-old girl, and someone wants her. She wants to be as picky as she was a few years ago.

Who cares about her smelly feet!"

"Your brother is already married two years younger than her, and she's still choosing." Cheng Lili thought about all the things going on in their family and couldn't say anything else.

A gloom flashed in Chen Yuzhu's eyes. If her eldest sister had gotten married earlier, she wouldn't have had to go down to the ravine to work in order to compete with her for the small attic in the kitchen.

However, when I glanced at Qiao Daming sitting next to me, I felt grateful for my decision, otherwise I wouldn't have known him.

Now they are married and have bought their own house in the city. They will have their own home in the future.

Now that I think about it, temporary gains and losses are really nothing.

She breathed a sigh of relief before caring about Cheng Lili, "How are you doing now?"

"Just like that, besides going to work every day, the performance of the match factory is even worse this year. My parents don't go to work anymore and are retiring early."

Speaking of this, Cheng Lili felt lucky for her, "Fortunately, you applied for transfer to Lingjiang, otherwise, all the employees of the match factory might have to be laid off before the end of the year."

Chen Yuzhu and Qiao Daming looked at each other, and both of them were happy. Fortunately, they applied to go to the hydropower station, otherwise they might have been forced to lay off.
