Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 674 Lu An Gets Married
Three days before Lu An's wedding, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, and Lu Jiayao and his party arrived in Sijiu City. Because everyone had work and it was impossible for everyone to take leave to go back, the wedding was held in Sijiu City instead of back home.

Although Uncle Lu is over 70 years old, he is in good spirits because he is now in charge of supporting poor students. However, Auntie's health is getting worse and worse. She looks very pale after sitting on the train for three days.

Despite her objections, Mrs. Lu took him to the hospital for a full-body checkup the next day. Fortunately, except for the known underlying diseases, everything else was fine.

The eldest aunt asked, "My dear wife, Xiaoan is getting married the day after tomorrow. Will Jiaxin come back?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "Jiaxin is busy with work and can't come back. There's nothing we can do about it. She manages so many companies, so she still has to put work first."

As for the quarrel between Lu Jiaxin and Lu Hongjun not long ago, she didn't say anything. It's better for them not to interfere in the affairs between father and daughter, so as to avoid making more mistakes.

The eldest aunt asked, "This child got engaged last year. Should he get married this year?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head to indicate no: "Mom, Jiaxin is not a child anymore, she knows her own business. When the date is set, we can prepare the gifts then."

The eldest aunt was a very considerate person. Seeing that she avoided talking about Jiaxin's affairs, she frowned and asked, "What's going on? Did your third uncle make Jiaxin angry again?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Mrs. Lu could only tell the truth: "Alas, Jiaguang and I were originally planning to invite Jiaxin to our house for dinner the next day, and then talk about Lu An's marriage. Who would have thought that Third Uncle would interfere?"

"I know Third Uncle means well, but his actions can easily make Jiaxin feel that he treats his nephews and grandchildren better than her. Alas, Third Uncle used to be very compromising, but now that he's old, I don't know what's wrong with him. He always does stupid things."

Back in the room, the eldest aunt told Uncle Lu about this matter: "Jia Xin has not let go of the past, and still has resentment towards the third brother. His words will make this girl feel that the third brother does not care about her at all, so he is so displeased."

Uncle Lu had no better solution: "I'll talk to the third brother tomorrow. Don't worry about Jiaxin's affairs, and don't let him worry about the younger generation. He won't live for many years, so just eat well, drink well and have fun."

Things are different now. He still has to rely on his daughter for support, so he has to learn to humble himself and not meddle in other people's business. He has three sons in his family, and after they get married and start their own businesses, he basically doesn't care about them, unless they make mistakes.

The aunt nodded.

Lu Jiaguang was the leader, so considering the impact, he only invited 20 tables. He didn't go to the hotel, and his home was spacious enough to accommodate the guests, so he bought the ingredients himself and hired two chefs to cook. Of course, the menu was prepared by the two chefs, and it was very sumptuous.

Fortunately, the weather was nice and the sun was shining brightly on Lu An's wedding day, so there was no need to put up awnings for the two courtyards at home.

It was very tiring to host a banquet by myself. After sending the guests away, the aunt couldn't help but pat her waist and said, "Jiaguang, when Pingping and Zhang get married in the future, shall we go to a restaurant?"

In fact, it was no more economical to host a banquet at home than to go to a restaurant, and it was exhausting. If the remaining three children were like today, she would be exhausted every time she hosted a wedding banquet.

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "We are a little tired, but the house is lively and our relatives and friends are having a great time. You don't have to worry, when Pingping or Zhang gets married, let your daughter-in-law help you with the arrangements."

In fact, this time, Lu Jiazong and Lu Ersao also helped them a lot, otherwise they would be even more tired than now. Having many brothers and sisters shows its goodness at this time.

During dinner, Lu Jiazong suddenly said, "Brother, I saw on the gift list that Jiaxin gave a gift of 2,000 yuan." Lu Jiaguang didn't know about this. He frowned and asked, "Uncle San, what's going on?"

Whether in the old city or in my hometown, according to custom, unmarried young girls or young men don’t need to give gifts. Xing Ziyang came over to give a gift yesterday, but no one came today, so the gift money could only be related to Lu Hongjun.

Lu Hongjun said that he brought the gift money on behalf of Jiaxin. Although she didn't come back, the gift money should be there to save her face. He felt that Lu Jiaxin was a billionaire now, and if she didn't show any appreciation for her nephew's marriage, people would say she was stingy.

Lu Jiaguang immediately had a headache when he heard this. Isn't this just adding to the chaos? Jiaxin hasn't even married yet, so what kind of gift is this? If you don't know, you might think they are just greedy for money!

Mrs. Lu took the initiative to apologize: "Uncle San, this is my and Jiaguang's fault. We didn't explain it to you clearly. Jiaxin asked how much she should give as a gift, and we told her that unmarried girls don't need to give gifts, so she gave Lu An and Xiaochan a set of gold jewelry and a pair of Pisces jade pendants."

The Pisces jade pendant symbolizes a happy marriage. The jade pendant is made of Hetian jade and is finely crafted. Luo Chan likes it very much. However, the jade pendant is easy to break, so she can only admire it and dare not wear it.

Who could have thought that Lu Hongjun could do such a trick? And even if he wanted to do a face-lift for Jiaxin, he should have told his family, even Shanzi!

Lu Jiayao's wife had noticed the gold earrings and bracelets that Luo Chan was wearing. She originally thought that they were a dowry from the Luo family: "Sister-in-law, were these gold earrings and bracelets given to Xiaochan by Jiaxin?"

Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, "Yes, Jiaxin gave me gold earrings, a gold necklace and a gold bracelet."

After receiving the gift yesterday, Lu An eagerly sent it to Luo's house. Luo Chan liked it very much because of its exquisite workmanship and wore it because it matched her wedding dress perfectly.

Lu Jiayao was very envious: "Sister-in-law, Jiaxin really loves Pingping and Anan."

Uncle Lu felt that it was inappropriate to continue this topic and said, "Talk less while eating."

After dinner, Lu Jiaguang stuffed two thousand yuan back to Lu Hongjun. Lu Shan took the gift money. He represented the third room. He could accept the wedding gift from Jiaxin but not the gift money.

Seeing that he didn't want to accept it, Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, you should use the money Jiaxin gave you for yourself in the future and don't give it to the children anymore. It's okay for the older children to have money, but it's not a good thing for the younger ones to always buy snacks and skip meals without restraint."

Qiangqiang is a precocious child. He never spends the money that Lu Hongjun gives him, and he saves it all. Xiaofenger has poor self-control, and whenever she has money, she buys her favorite candies. She gets cavities from eating too much candy.

Lu Hongjun said that he didn't know Jiaxin had given a gift, otherwise he would not have given her a gift.

Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, this is Xiaojie and I's fault, but you should discuss anything you want to do with us first in the future."

The main reason was that according to custom, unmarried women did not need to bring gifts, and they had been very busy these past two days and had no time to chat. He did not say anything, and Lu Hongjun did not say anything in advance, so such a thing happened.

Lu Hongjun said he would never do that again.
