You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 382 Cheng Wenxuan's Side Story 5

Upon returning to Yu'an City, they discovered that Lu Yuanbo and the others had all come back.

All three mahjong tables in Lu Yuanhuan's house were full of people.

After Lu Yuanqing and Cheng Wenxuan got out of the car, Gu Anping came to pick them up.

As soon as the car arrived at the door, Gu Yushan and Wei Ye were busy with others unloading a mahjong table from the truck's cargo cover.

Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "Three weren't enough, so you bought another one."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ye asked with a smile, "Third Uncle, it's not one, it's two!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Okay! They're still the same family that loves playing mahjong.

"Haha, everyone's seated? I'll have one too!" Cheng Wenxuan heard the laughter coming from inside the room and went straight inside.

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Gu Anping smiled, hooked his arm around Lu Yuanqing's shoulder, and led him into the house.

"Is Uncle getting into mahjong? Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a bit? You must be tired from catching your flight."

Lu Yuanqing scoffed, "Your dad and the others brought back two more. Weren't they waiting for me?"

Just as Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, Gu Yushan, who was still unloading the goods, shouted from behind them, "Third Brother, don't go! Let's play a game after these two mahjong tables are set up!"

Lu Yuanqing tilted his head and raised an eyebrow at Gu Anping, "See!"

Gu Anping burst out laughing.

"What's the situation with the other party? Your mother didn't explain clearly over the phone," Lu Yuanqing asked as they walked.

Gu Anping said, "Wan Qimeng, that's her name. She's my comrade's younger sister, two years younger than me, and she works at a bank."

Gu Anping had nothing to hide, so he simply gave a brief account of his marriage partner's information, including his family background.

As they talked, they returned to the bedroom, where Gu Anping put down Lu Yuanqing's luggage.

"He's a nice person, but your wedding time is a bit tight. Won't that be unfair to him?" Lu Yuanqing asked.

Gu Anping smiled and shook his head. "You know my mother's personality. She would never wrong anyone, especially since it was the other party who brought it up."

Perhaps the Wan family themselves have sons serving in the military, so they naturally understand.

Therefore, the marriage arrangements were discussed easily and smoothly, as both parties were easy to talk to.

"I heard that the girl even went to meet you on a blind date. That's quite a courageous thing to do! You can't let her suffer in the future." Lu Yuanqing had only just found out.

Gu Anping's comrade-in-arms sent his sister to visit him, and only then did she go on a blind date with Gu Anping.

After the blind date, both of them were quite satisfied, so they got the necessary documents, took leave from work, went home, discussed the wedding arrangements, and set a date.

The whole process was completed in less than half a month.

Lu Yuanqing was somewhat dazed. What was the difference between him and those who went home for the New Year to find a partner?

We met on the same day, and I asked for your opinion that evening. We'll arrange to have dinner the next day.

If things go smoothly, they could get their marriage certificate within a week.

Gu Anping knew what Lu Yuanqing was worried about, and patiently explained, "Third Uncle, don't worry! I will treat her well."

Regardless, she was the person he had chosen to marry.

Now that we're married, isn't it only right that we treat her well?

As for other things, he didn't think too much about them.

Lu Yuanqing believed in him and had nothing to say about it.

However, "it's just that the girl from the Yang family, she wouldn't..."

Don't blame him for thinking that way; well, he's watched too many melodramatic TV dramas, it would be strange if he didn't!

When Yang Xiaoxiao was mentioned, Gu Anping didn't change much; in fact, he was even more decisive than Lu Yuanqing.

"I came back because she came looking for me, but I didn't see her. She's hiding!"

There's no need to see something that's already impossible.

"I came twice, but then I gave up."

What can we do if it doesn't count?

One remarried, and the other is about to remarry.

"Now that you have a family, no matter how unwilling you are, there are things you need to consider."

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Sometimes, he felt that his nephew was too easygoing about marriage.

The girl from the Yang family chased after him for so many years, and they almost got married, but he was completely unaffected.

Because the other party had remained single for several years without getting married, he only started thinking about his own marriage after the other party got married, which was a rare source of guilt for him.

Do not!

Lu Yuanqing felt that he did not feel guilty.

I simply felt sorry for them, so I resolved the issue in this way.

Furthermore, when they talked about their marriage partner, Lu Yuanqing never felt that he liked her.

It seems like he's just reached a certain age and it's time to get married. He doesn't have any unrealistic fantasies; he'll just do what needs to be done.

Seeing such rationality to the point of being heartless, Lu Yuanqing thought, "This must be a robot!"

Life is about following set goals without investing your own emotions along the way.

Fortunately, Gu Anping wasn't like that with everyone; at least, he wasn't a robot in front of his family.

The two had barely exchanged a few words inside when they heard someone calling for help outside.

"Third Uncle, come out and play mahjong! What are you doing hiding inside?!"

"Yeah, yeah! Third Brother, you won a lot of money from me last time we played mahjong. This time you have to lose some so we can have barbecue tonight!"

"Haha, how about we see who wins the most today, and that person treats us to barbecue!"

"That's a good suggestion."

"I agree!"

"..."

Lu Yuanqing chuckled and turned to Gu Anping with a smile, "Let's go! Let's go play mahjong. You usually play the least, so don't lose and cry!"

Gu Anping laughed, "Come on, there are quite a few people who want to win your money today!"

The outside world is in complete chaos.

Lu Yuanqing feigned fear, "Ha, then I'll have to show you my skills today and win your money so I can treat you to barbecue!"

"Hahaha!!!"

There's always more joy when family members get together.

They're all addicted to mahjong, and once they start playing, it never ends.

Even dinner was just something quick and easy. They played until 10 p.m. before finally heading straight to the barbecue stall.

When the barbecue owner saw this setup, his first thought was that he was in for a big business that night, so he immediately made a phone call to his wife and children to help.

Once the small tables were set up, five tables were crammed together.

"Go get the food. Take whatever you like. Uncle is treating tonight."

"Yay! I want sweet potato noodles, and beef skewers too, and..."

"Stop sitting there reciting, you brat! Do you think you're the boss? Come and get what you like to eat."

"Remember to pick out a few baskets to bake first!"

"Know it!"

Lu Yuanqing checked his phone and, finding nothing amiss, put it away.

Sitting next to him, Cheng Jun nudged him and said, "You're staying at that brat's place in Haishi this time, aren't you?"

Lu Yuanqing: "...Hmm."

Weddings are indeed a major event that can affect the relationship between parents and children.

Cheng Jun used to dote on Cheng Wenxuan and treat him incredibly well.

She got very angry because pressuring him to get married didn't work, and now she doesn't call him "Xiao Bao" anymore, she just calls him "brat" instead.

"Did you notice anything amiss while you were there?" Cheng Jun whispered, leaning close to him.

Lu Yuanqing watched everyone busily choosing their favorite foods, not paying much attention to what Cheng Jun was asking. He subconsciously replied, "There's nothing wrong with it! I'm either at get off work or coming home every day, and I don't like going out when I get home. I've been gone for more than half a month, and I've even canceled going out to eat with my colleagues."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jun's face visibly fell into a gloomy mood, showing some disappointment.

Lu Yuanqing waited a long time for him to speak, then turned his head in confusion and saw him like this.

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

"Well, the child is grown up now and has his own opinions. It's no use for you to force him to do things he doesn't want to do, and he won't listen anyway."

When I was young, I was a stubborn person who wouldn't listen to other people's opinions.

Does he still want his child to listen to everything he says?

is it possible?

Cheng Jun: "Why won't you listen when it comes to marriage?"

“Look at Anping, he’s so much younger than him, but he got married early and didn’t cause Xiaohuan and the others any worry.”

"At this age, one should do what one is supposed to do! I don't know what one is thinking all day long."

Lu Yuanqing: "..." Speechless, rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, Chengjun didn't say anything like "he's gone stupid from studying," otherwise he would have really had a serious talk with him.

“Everyone is different. You can’t only see what you want to see! What about you? When your uncle and aunt were still alive, didn’t they want you to find a companion? Why didn’t you want that?”

“I’m not…” Cheng Jun paused, then said, “Aren’t you the same? Aren’t you also a stubborn person who will never get married?”

Lu Yuanqing spread his hands and said, "Alright, it's a draw. Don't say anything to me, and I won't say anything to you either."

"See? If you're unwilling, no one can persuade you otherwise, not even your elders. And you still want to force your son just because you're the father?"

Cheng Jun sighed, "I'm just worried! If he had a girlfriend and wanted to play around for a few more years before getting married, I wouldn't be so worried!"

Do you remember the younger brother I knew when I was on a frontier farm?

"Hmm?" Lu Yuanqing thought for a moment, "Is it that person named Yan Anqing?"

Cheng Jun once said that most of the food he sent was eaten by him and a guy named Yan Anqing.

The two got along well, and even after Yan Anqing left the farm, she continued to keep in touch with Cheng Jun.

During holidays and festivals, they would send each other gifts.

“Yes, it’s him.” Cheng Jun sighed. “His situation is similar to mine. He only has one son, and his wife remarried and moved to another city. But he’s not as lucky as me. I have your help, and I don’t have to worry about Xiao Bao.”

"But his son is in a terrible situation."

"???" Lu Yuanqing's mouth was half open, not knowing what to say.

After all, it's easy to imagine what a child who is only a few years old would experience without parents.

Cheng Jun recalled what Yan Anqing had told him, and his face was filled with indignation. "His son was picked up by a boy in their village who was only a few years older. After Anqing left the farm and returned to the village, he wanted to take his son back, but that brat refused, saying that he had picked him up."

"That's bad enough! But An Qing's son doesn't want to go home with him either."

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Ah? ? ?
