Chapter 219 Family and Marriage

In the evening, Hongdou's mom wanted to go out for a walk, and Hongdou's dad, who had sobered up, also wanted to go downstairs to move around. Lu Cheng and Xu Hongdou went out to accompany them.

Along the way, whenever Xu Jianguo greeted an old man, Lu Cheng would take the initiative to hand him a cigarette and greet him with the same enthusiasm.

"Lao Xu, is this young man your relative? He looks really energetic."

"This is our Dou's boyfriend. This is his first time entering the house. Lu Cheng, this is your Uncle Li."

"Hello Uncle Li, you smoke."

"Lao Xu, I really envy you. Your Hongdou brought you such a good son-in-law without saying anything."

Along the way, Lu Cheng's performance made Lao Xu more and more satisfied. The smile on his face never faded, which made him feel very proud.

When he returned home in the evening, Lu Cheng gave the old couple a simple physical examination, gave them acupuncture and massage, and also told them how to take care of their bodies to stay healthy and live longer.

The old couple had nothing to say. They wished they could let their daughter and Lu Cheng get married right there and then and keep such a good son-in-law.

At night, Lu Cheng was arranged to sleep in Xu Hongdou's room, while Xu Hongdou slept in her sister's room.

At noon the next day, Xu Hongmi, who had received the notice, rushed back from Shanghai with her husband and daughter.

Lu Cheng volunteered to drive to the airport to pick someone up with Xu Hongdou.

As soon as Xu Hongmi and her family of three walked out of the airport, Xu Hongdou immediately went to greet them with Lu Cheng.

When the two sisters met, Xu Hongmi skipped her younger sister and looked Lu Cheng up and down. Then she said to Xu Hongdou, "Okay, Xu Hongdou, you have good taste. Hello, my name is Xu Hongmi, Xu Hongdou's elder sister."

"Hello, big sister. Big sister and Hongdou are indeed sisters, both are very beautiful and have such good temperaments."

On the other side, Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at her sister, then turned to look at her niece with a smile on her face: "Xiao Lingdang, do you miss your aunt?"

"Yes, I miss my aunt."

Reaching out and picking up her little niece, Xu Hongdou greeted her brother-in-law again: "Hello, brother-in-law."

Xu Hongdou's brother-in-law is a middle-aged man with a gentle and honest appearance. He is said to be a high school teacher. He has a good personality and is also dominated by his wife.

A few of them chatted and laughed as they came to the parking lot and put their things in Lu Cheng's car. The brother-in-law took a look at Lu Cheng's car and nodded: "It's a very good car."

It was already noon when they got on the car and rushed back to Xu's house.

The whole family sat at the same table to eat. Xu Jianguo greeted his eldest son-in-law and Lu Cheng, Liu Guiqin took care of Xiao Lingdang, and Xu Hongdou and Xu Hongmi quarreled with each other from time to time, talking and laughing. It was quite lively.

It can be seen that the old couple are very happy today.

Normally, my two daughters are thousands of miles away and it’s rare for them to come back. Although we often have video calls, it’s still not as good as having a meal together around a table.

After eating and drinking, the whole family sat together and chatted. Xu Hongmi and his wife also learned more about Lu Cheng's family situation and naturally had nothing to say about Lu Cheng's conditions.

Of course, the final topic of the conversation must be Lu Cheng and Xu Hongdou's lifelong affairs.

After all, they are both not young anymore, and since the Xu family is very satisfied with Lu Cheng, there is no reason to drag it out. The sooner they get married and have children, the more at ease the whole family will be.

It was Xu Hongmi, the eldest sister, who spoke first: "Lu Cheng, what are your plans for you and Hongdou?"

Lu Cheng did not hide anything: "This is what I think. Uncle, aunt, elder sister, and elder brother-in-law, you have all seen me. I will take you to Yanjing in the next two days to see the specific situation of our family. If there are no problems, Hongdou and I will get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. As for the wedding, I don't have parents or elders there, so I will listen to your arrangements.

When the time comes, we will hold one in Yanjing and one here. It will be lively and we will follow all the rules and procedures. What do you think? "

"Okay, we are relieved now."

"Big sister, why don't you come with us to Yanjing to get to know the area in advance so that it will be convenient for you to visit relatives in the future."

The eldest sister shook her head and said, "We are busy at work recently, so we won't go there for now. Just let my parents go over and take a look. We don't have any requirements, just be nice to my sister."

"Don't worry about this, big sister."

The family chatted and laughed, and decided on the matter between Lu Cheng and Xu Hongdou.

This person has also seen it, and the surrounding neighbors have also seen it. Lu Cheng has also been recognized by the Xu family, so everything will naturally go smoothly.

That night, because Xu Hongmi's family came back, Lu Cheng and Xu Hongdou were also assigned to the same room.

The Xu family's small three-bedroom apartment seemed a bit crowded with so many people moving in all at once.

Lying in bed with Xu Hongdou at night, Lu Cheng directly suggested: "Hongdou, why don't we buy a bigger house for our parents? When we get married and have children, and when my eldest sister and her family come back to visit relatives at the same time, the house won't be big enough for us."

"My dad has also thought about buying a house. They have saved some money and have had this idea for a long time, but they have never been willing to spend it. My sister gave them money, but they refused to take it. Besides, we haven't even gotten married yet, and you bought a house for my parents, as if we are just after your money."

"What are you talking about? Isn't money meant to be spent? I don't have any parents there, so your parents will be my parents from now on. Our family is better off, so we should spend our money on our parents, so that they can live comfortably and happily. Only then can you feel at ease, right? Don't think about those extra things."

Hearing Lu Cheng say this, Xu Hongdou was moved again. She rolled around in Lu Cheng's arms for a while, and then found a comfortable position, hanging on Lu Cheng like a koala: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you from now on, okay."

"Of course you have to listen to me. From now on, I will make the decisions on major matters in our family, and you will make the decisions on minor matters."

"So what is a big deal? What is a small deal?"

"Of course I have the final say on this."

"You're really good at it."

"Hey, you know best whether I can do it or not."

"Hate…"

"Don't move. If you move, the gun might go off accidentally. The soundproofing of this house..."

"You also said..."

Xu Hongmi and his wife stayed at home for a day and a half and then returned to Shanghai.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng drove Xu's parents to Yanjing.

Since you are talking about marriage, it is natural to let your future father-in-law and mother-in-law come to your home and inspect it on the spot, so that you can feel at ease.

When the old couple walked into the two-story courtyard house in the back alley of Pudu Temple, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Although they had seen it in the video, it was still quite shocking to see it in person.

Hongdou's father was better, but Hongdou's mother said directly: "The decoration in this room is so good that even an emperor in ancient times would probably live in a room like this, right?"
