The Era of Hard Work

At ten o'clock in the morning, according to the agreed time, the two cars drove into Lujia Village New Village on time and stopped on the side of the road. Lu Dong's family had already been waiting here.

Today, Song Na's family of three and her aunt's family were the only ones who came over.

Hu Chunlan and Lu Dong hurried forward to welcome him into the house.

On Lu Dong's side, apart from him and his wife, there is also his uncle's family.

Xia Tian accompanied Song Na, and looked curiously as soon as she entered the door. This was the first time she had seen such a village and villa.

"Don't be nervous." She whispered in Song Na's ear.

Song Na wore a light-colored dress and makeup today, making her look extraordinarily beautiful.

At Lu Dong's house, she has been here countless times, and she is familiar with Lu Jianguo's family, as well as Lu Zhenlin and Lu Jianren who just came here, so she is not nervous at all.

The living room is big enough to sit so many people without looking crowded.

Lu Jianguo and Lao Song were talking, while Hu Chunlan held Song's mother's hand and chatted.

Lu Chun kept pouring tea and water with the teapot, while Lu Dong sat next to Song Na, talking with several young people.

After a short meeting, the mobile phone rang, but when it was connected, it was Lu Xia who called from Xichuan.

Friends and relatives in other places called one after another, such as my uncle in Xijiang.

At half past ten, Lu Chun came out of the house and called Lu Dong who was on the phone back to the living room.

There is also a small ceremony for the engagement. Lu Jianren made an agreement when he went to Song's house before. It's not a particularly serious situation, and it doesn't need to be kept in the hotel.

Lu Dong changed his words first, and Lao Song and his wife each gave a red envelope.

On Hu Chunlan's side, when Song Na opened her mouth, she gave a very thick red envelope.

At eleven o'clock, everyone left the village and went to a restaurant to the west for dinner.

As soon as she got into the car, Xia Tian touched Song Na with her arm, and asked curiously, "Look, what a big red envelope."

Song Na directly handed her the bag: "Look."

Xia Tian glanced at the driver who was concentrating on driving, and took out the red envelope, but didn't open it, squeezed it: "Your mother-in-law is so generous, at least 10,000."

Sun Qinghai's restaurant is just to the west of the village, and he will arrive soon.

Entering the store, Sun Qinghai was waiting. There were Lu Chun, Li Wenyue, Lu Jianren and Du Xiaobing inside. Lu Dong called Song Na and went to the door to meet the guests.

Guests came one after another.

The people in the village were greeted by Lu Jianren and arranged to be seated, and Lu Chun received the government units. Li Wenyue and Lu Dong had always been classmates, so they were in charge of the classmates. Du Xiaobing also knew all of Lu Dong's business friends.

The second grandfather and Lu Kun moved the table and set it up at the entrance of the restaurant, responsible for collecting the gift money.

It was agreed earlier that the woman's gift money was collected by the Song family alone, and no matter who came from Lu Dong's side, the gift money was only 20 yuan at most.

At the entrance of the hotel, Lu Dong specifically confessed a few days ago that Sun Qinghai specially built a shed to shade the sun.

Song Na didn't know the sun, she couldn't open an umbrella and wear a sun hat on this day, Lu Dong felt sorry for her daughter-in-law and thoughtful.

The light-colored shirt was tied at the waist, and the two red packages I received just now were uncomfortable in the pockets of my trousers. Seeing Song Na holding the handbag, Lu Dong took it out to her: "You can keep it."

Song Na smiled: "The money came back after a round."

Lu Dong said, "Then you can keep it."

A car stopped on the side of the road, Lu Dong recognized the car, he waved his hand at Song Na, and the two went up to meet it.

"Director Yang, please come inside." Lu Dong shook hands with Yang Liewen.

Yang Liewen smiled at him and Song Na: "Congratulations, Lu Dong. Congratulations, Song Na."

One after another, many people came from various units in the county, and even the two leaders of the county came here in person.

On the other hand, Quannan, because it was just an engagement, and because it was a sensitive period for a change of office, Ma Yuanshan and the others didn't come.

But Ma Ming and Wei Guangrong arrived.

Seeing Wei Guangrong, Lu Dong was a little puzzled: "Brother Wei, didn't you go back to Xichuan?"

Wei Guangrong said simply at the entrance of the hotel: "The last time, there are still some beginnings and ends. I will come back to deal with it. It just happens to happen. If you get married, I may not be able to come back."

He greeted Song Na and entered the restaurant.

Around 11:30, some of Lu Dong's classmates also came, Yuan Jing, Zou Kai, Zhou Shanshan, Liu Jie, and Liu Linlin.

Liu Linlin rode a bicycle and came from Liuwan Village alone, and saw Lu Dong and Song Na standing at the entrance of the hotel from a long distance away.

Her eyes fell on Song Na.

This woman, whom she had only heard of but never paid attention to when she was in school, is as dazzling as the sun shining above her head today.

Wearing a well-fitting light-colored dress, half-heeled sandals, and under the well-manicured hair, the face that has obviously been made up is extraordinarily delicate, and the sun is still shining on her.

It was a thin gold chain around his neck, a watch on his left hand, a silver bracelet on his right hand, and rings on his fingers.

As if she had a feeling, Song Na had just finished speaking with Yuan Jing, and turned her head to look south, just in time to see Liu Linlin who was staring at her.

Song Na smiled at her and waved: "Linlin, this way."

Liu Linlin put away her bicycle and walked over quickly: "Song Na, Lu Dong, congratulations."

"Thank you." Lu Dong said, "Go in and cool off, a lot of our classmates have come."

Song Na said, "Just go in and find Wen Yue."

Liu Linlin didn't say any more, just nodded and entered the restaurant alone.

As the time approached twelve o'clock, Song Na asked, "Is almost everyone here?"

Lu Dong pondered for a while, and said, "It's almost there."

The two of them were about to enter the hotel. There was the sound of a motorcycle with a broken muffler in the north. Lu Dong searched for the sound and saw the uncle and his wife, riding an old Jialing bicycle, coming from the newly built Qingzhao Bridge on the Tourist Ring Road. come over.

Song Na saw it too.

The orange Jialing car was getting closer and closer, obviously coming to the hotel.

Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan didn't invite them, but Ma's Village and Lu's Village are across the river, and there are too many daughters married into each other's villages, so it's normal for news to spread.

Seeing her fiancé's face change slightly, Song Na asked softly, "Who are they?"

Lu Dong said, "My uncle and sister-in-law."

Song Na has a general understanding of the family's affairs: "Hu Bin's parents?"

She always remembered that Hu Bin wanted to frame Lu Dong, and only Lu Dong knew it well. If the frame was successful, Lu Dong would definitely become addicted to drugs. Wouldn't this life be ruined?

Today is a day of great joy for her, and she does not want to see these people from the bottom of her heart.

But being someone's daughter-in-law is different after all.

Song Na pushed Lu Dong lightly: "This is a guest, don't be so stern."

Lu Dong nodded, and when the motorcycle came off the road, he greeted him and said hello: "Uncle, concubine."

No matter how you say it, today, you have to live with face.

Not for anything else, but also for Song Na.

Song Na also came over and called, "Uncle, concubine."

"En." The uncle replied, and walked towards the door of the hotel.

The elder concubine glanced at the two of them, but said nothing.

Lu Dong shook Song Na's hand, Song Na smiled at him, and the two followed into the restaurant.

The two people in front couldn't see the gift table at the entrance of the banquet hall, so they went directly to the banquet hall.

The second grandfather knew these two people, so he asked Lu Dong worriedly, "Dongzi?"

On the big day, if there is a commotion, the people in the village don't care, isn't it just a joke for outsiders? Where is the woman's face?

As soon as the two of them entered the banquet hall, Hu Chunlan's heart skipped a beat. Lu Chun reacted the fastest, and slapped Uncle Qi who was smoking and farting with Wei Guangrong, who was blowing his bull into the sky.

Lu Jianren looked back at Lu Chun, and immediately followed Lu Chun's gaze to the entrance of the banquet hall, and saw the couple.

"There's something wrong." Lu Jianren said to Wei Guangrong, and got up to meet him.

Those two people had already arrived in front of Hu Chunlan.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Hu Chunlan said with a smile, "You guys are here, hurry up and sit down!"

But the two of them didn't move, and they didn't intend to sit down at all.

Lu Dong and Song Na also came over, and Lu Dong said, "Uncle, the banquet is about to begin, please sit down."

When Lu Jianren was walking this way, he winked repeatedly, and Li Lin, Lu Tao and Li Hongxing all followed him.

"Today is your family's big day, and you didn't even notify your natal brother, can't you justify it?" The uncle first complained to Hu Chunlan, and then said to Lu Dong: "You are not as old as Hu Bin, right? Find someone so handsome first." daughter-in-law... Lu Dong, do you know that your cousin won't even be able to eat when you have a wedding here?"

Fortunately, it was at the entrance of the banquet hall. Although many people came to see it, there were so many people in the banquet hall that few people heard it.

Lu Dong took a step forward and said, "Uncle, please take a seat. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after dinner."

"No!" The uncle pinched his waist with both hands: "If I don't speak, I can't eat."

The eldest concubine followed up: "You didn't even notify us of your engagement, and you didn't treat us as relatives at all! Can people eat with peace of mind like this?"

The uncle said again: "I don't care about your cousin's affairs, I have to give an explanation today!"

Lu Jianren came over at this time: "Brother Guizi, sister-in-law Guizi, long time no see."

The two turned their heads to look over there.

Lu Jianren drooped his shoulders with a smile on his face.

These two people subconsciously felt guilty, remembering that when they bullied the orphans and widows back then, it was this person who ran to their house and smashed everything that could be smashed.

They were not afraid of Lu Dong, Hu Chunlan, or even the well-known Lu Zhenlin in Lujia Village, because these people were reasonable, and they were absolutely afraid of shame on this occasion.

But they were really afraid of Lu Jianren who smashed their house back then, this is a famous mountain sculpture, and he is notoriously a mess.

Lu Jianren winked at Lu Dong and told him to go with Song Na, don't have a good day, and make his wife unhappy.

Lu Dong held Song Na with one hand and Hu Chunlan with the other, and the three of them went straight into the banquet hall.

The uncle and his wife saw it, is this okay?

Come here today, it is a specially chosen day.

As soon as the two of them wanted to move, Lu Jianren stopped them and grabbed the uncle's shoulders: "Brother Guizi, you must have something to do when you come here today, right? Let's talk about it if there is something to do. If you want to make trouble here, I will tell you Go all out."

He deliberately pointed to the hall: "See, that's the boss of the Ningxiu Town Office, and that's the boss and the second child in the county. If you have something to say, let's talk about it elsewhere."

Lu Kun, Li Lin, Lu Tao, and Li Hongxing stared intently.

Lu Kun, who had followed Lu Dong for more than a year, was holding a dumpling of rags with Li Lin.
