Chapter 48: 48
With the deafening sound of firecrackers, the convoy that picked up the relatives started their return journey.
The state of disengagement after using too much force when saving her.
But this time he didn't have any emotions, just closed his eyes and rested.
Pei Zhiming in the co-pilot looked back at him worriedly, "Boss, hurry up and let your sister-in-law rub it for you, I don't know when the trouble will be today."
Lu Mingchen injured his spine. Although he can walk for a short period of time after reconstruction, it is undoubtedly a high-intensity exercise for me, and it will definitely be accompanied by pain.
But Lu Mingchen rejected the proposal without hesitation, "It's okay, just rest for a while."
Su Ruan frowned, "This is not a joke, in case of excessive damage, wouldn't the previous treatments be for nothing?"
"Don't worry, Dr. Song taught me specially, I'm very professional." She was gearing up, "Come on, take off the belt first."
Lu Mingchen:…
Now that he hears the word belt, he is inexplicably dangerous?
Lu Mingchen quietly hid by the window, "I'll do it myself, it's not convenient for you to knead like this."
"No." Lu Mingchen firmly refused, "Ugly."
Hey, there is still idol baggage!
Seeing that he was resolutely unwilling, Su Ruan said unwillingly, "Really not? I am very professional."
Lu Mingchen vigilantly said, "No, I will be in a wheelchair in the afternoon."
I thought about it and added, "I'll take care of you in the morning, and it's your turn in the afternoon."
Su Ruan looked regretful, "Okay..."
Pei Zhiming was already looking forward to it, "Sister-in-law, I'll see you later!"
Su Ruan wondered, "What? What happened to the Lu family?"
No, Aunt Fu said that they prepared very actively and the wedding banquet was also very decent.
Pei Zhiming said with a strange expression, "They invited forty tables of people."
Su Ruan:…
Lu Mingchen has almost no friends here, and the Lu family can't have so many relatives. This is to invite a bunch of people who have some or not to join them. Make a fortune?
But when she arrived at the hotel, Su Ruan realized that she had underestimated the utilitarianism of the Lu family.
Their use of Lu Mingchen can't wait to pluck the wild goose and squeeze the value to the extreme.
Forty tables of people, it would be good to have two tables of relatives and friends of the Lu family, and then two tables of relatives of Su Ruan's family, two tables of Lu Mingchen's comrades in arms, and the rest of the family members of the Lulu family. Leaders or friends that can be used in various industries have nothing to do with Lu Mingchen anyway.
The front table was covered with a bright red tablecloth and flowers, and even the dishes were a grade better than other tables.
It is very important to emphasize the uniqueness of the guests at this table.
It's not like a wedding banquet, but a leadership meeting, and the Lu family are the people who have the closest relationship with the leadership.
However, it is also good for Su Ruan and the others to do it this way. There are no messy marriages. The two of them went to the hall, exchanged rings, and changed their mouths after tea.
There are more than 20 soldiers and brothers of Pei Zhiming and a lot of people in the Li family laughing and blessing, and the atmosphere is hot.
As for the toasts at the banquet, they don't need to go to each table, they just laugh at the tables they know each other, but the rest of the Lu family are more active than ever.
The old couple of the Lu family kept their pestle on the main table, and the old lady Lu kept pulling Commander Jiang's wife to greet him.
The Lu family didn't expect Commander Jiang to come, and thought it would be great to have a secretary, but they didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to come in person, and the Lu family were very pleasantly surprised.
And because Mrs. Jiang was present, several other leaders also came in person.
Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu San went out to toast and then ran back to greet the leaders at the main table.
In a short while, the information of the leaders on the main table spread all over the place. these leaders.
The Lu family dare not introduce casually, but they can introduce it again, "This is Commander Jiang's wife, this is He Ju from China Merchants Bureau, this is..."
"These leaders are dealing with all kinds of opportunities every day. Wherever we dare to bother, it's important to get married. Leaders give face."
Although it is flattery, it is just telling everyone that they have these tough relationships, and many people look at them obviously differently.
Li Ruolan frowned at the gang of foxes and tigers.
In this case, the leaders are too lazy to care about them, but who is willing to deal with them a second time.
The key is that they consume Lu Mingchen's favor.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't take it anymore, she interrupted Boss Lu's continuous talk, and waved to Lu Mingchen and Su Ruan, who were waiting obediently, "Mingchen, and Daughter-in-law Mingchen, come and show me."
"Master Lu, let's not say anything else on the happy day of the child."
Boss Lu's face was embarrassed, and the Lu family was restrained.
Su Ruan pushed Lu Mingchen forward, followed Lu Mingchen to call the people on the table one by one, Lu Mingchen gave a military salute to everyone,
"Thank you for your care for me back then, my uncles and aunts, I will remember them forever."
The smiles on the faces of several people became more real, and Mrs. Jiang sighed, "Time flies so fast, the small group of people at the time have grown up and married wives."
He Ju also said with relief, "No, I heard that you have made contributions on the front line and are as heroic as your father."
Mrs. Jiang knew more about these, and praised, "Yes, the future generations are terrifying, but you still need to pay attention to your own safety. It is not easy for the country to train you, and you must protect yourself."
Aunt Lu suddenly echoed, "Who said no, he was injured, although the leaders wanted him to return to the army in the face of his great deeds, but in the end he still couldn't do anything useful. thing."
"If he has been like this, wouldn't he be causing trouble for the organization if he continues to stay in the army?"
Su Ruan thought she was suing Commander Jiang that Lu Mingchen was in the army illegally and wanted to get him back. After all, the Lu family always wanted Lu Mingchen to leave the army, so they could call them Take it.
In the end, she changed her words and began to sigh, "Our family Mingjun is also a soldier. Every time I see him injured, I feel very distressed, but he said that these are the military positions of the soldiers. , is what they should do."
"He also said that even if one day he can no longer serve the country and the people, he will never hold back the organization."
"I didn't come back this time because I was sent to perform an important mission. I couldn't even attend his cousin's wedding."
It took a long time for her to step on Lu Mingchen to pave the way for her son.
Lu Mingjun is the eldest son of Lu Laosan, Su Qingqing married him in her last life.
He is two years younger than Lu Mingchen, and he has also been admitted to the military academy, but he is a junior college student, and now he seems to be a company commander in a military region in the northwest.
Su Ruan laughed, this third aunt Lu would not think that the work of the army is like a pit like a radish outside, Lu Mingchen can get on top of her Lu Mingchen when she comes down?
"Aunt San and Ming Jun's consciousness is really high." Su Ruan said with a smile, "But our military members should indeed have such a consciousness."
"Speaking of which, the work of the uncle, uncle, and aunt was arranged by the organization to take care of Brother Mingchen, which hindered the organization a lot."
"Brother Mingchen can now be on his own. Grandpa and grandma still receive my father-in-law's pension. The state has treated us well enough."
"I think I can give these jobs to those who need them more."
The face of the Lu family instantly changed, Uncle Lu glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Where am I talking nonsense?" Su Ruan was not afraid of him at all, "I heard Brother Mingchen say that the work of the uncle was the help of Commander Wang, and the work of the third uncle and aunt was Uncle He. Arranged with Uncle Liu, isn't it all for the sake of my father-in-law's sacrifice for the country?"
"But the third aunt just said that since the soldiers put on military uniforms, they are ready to dedicate everything to the country. At first, Brother Mingchen was too young to do anything. Without his parents, he would starve to death. , but now that he has the ability, our Lu family occupies so many resources, isn't it a kind of repayment? This is not the spirit of our martyrdom. "
She looked at the old man deer, "Grandpa, are you right?"
The old man Lu looked ugly, the uncle Lu and the third uncle Lu had gloomy eyes, but they picked it up, and Su Ruan just followed the meaning of the third aunt Lu...
Can they be wrong? cannot.
But it was impossible to get them to nod, and the atmosphere froze for a while.
Someone just came over to look for Uncle Lu Sanshu and wanted to meet some leaders, Su Ruan said directly, "Grandpa, uncle, uncle, if you are busy, go and do it, here I and Ming Brother Chen will do it, and Brother Ming Chen also wants to catch up with some uncles and aunts."
The Lu family gritted their teeth with hatred, but Mrs. Jiang had already pulled Su Ruan's hand to speak, and several other people also talked to Lu Mingchen, and the rest of the Lu family did not see it, Just casually.
The Lu family realized that their behavior just now seemed to irritate everyone.
Thinking of what Su Ruan said again, I feel uneasy for a while, but don't really take back their work.
Now they knew they were afraid, they hurriedly rejected the people who came to them, hurriedly left the banquet, and tried their best to remedy it.
Lin Meixiang hurriedly told Lu Mingwei to bring over all the gifts she had prepared.
It's not easy to take advantage of their short hand, and it's not good to care about them again...
After the army left, the dining room was much cleaner, and Mrs. Lu came up to Mrs. Jiang and sighed, "...when the second child went, our old couple really felt like heaven. It's all collapsed, Ming Chen's mother can't bear to go with the second child, and only a six-year-old child is left... Those days were really... "
The old lady covered her face with a handkerchief, looking heartbroken, and the eldest deer and the third deer also had red eyes...
Mrs. Jiang and Ju He looked at them, and they really didn't know what to say for a while.
Su Ruan noticed that Lu Mingchen's back was suddenly tense and his eyelids were drooping, he quickly raised his hand to hold his shoulder, and took the words of Mr. Lu, "Yes, I heard that Brother Mingchen At the age of six, I dragged my sick body and followed my grandpa everywhere to kowtow to my parents' friends, thank you for your help."
"Probably at that time, our family couldn't live on the pension of my father-in-law alone."
The old man deer choked and couldn't talk anymore.
The Lu family stared at Su Ruan angrily, but Su Ruan held Lu Mingchen's shoulder without fear at all, with a look of "If you dare to continue acting, I will continue to tear down the stage" .
Lu Mingchen looked at the Lu family like ducks choking their necks and staring, and the gloom in his heart dissipated, and he wanted to laugh a little, his cotton sister could fight ten.
In the end, the Lu family was defeated, and he dared not speak in his name, the old man Lu could only say, "Anyway, our Mingchen can have today thanks to the care of the leaders. ."
Boss Lu spoke again, "So for so many years, we have been cautious in our words and deeds in our posts, for fear of not doing well and failing the trust of the organization in us."
"No." Lu Laosan said, "We have taken this job, and naturally we have to contribute to the construction of the country."
Lin Meixiang walked over with Lu Mingwei, "These are our thoughts for everyone."
She smiled and said, "We small households can't come up with anything decent, these are just a few words of sincerity, I hope the leaders will not dislike it."
When she spoke, Lu Mingwei had already put all the tobacco and alcohol in the hands of the leaders.
Su Ruan said with a smile, "It cost the auntie's money, so I should let Brother Mingchen and I come to express my gratitude."
After she finished speaking, Pei Zhiming had brought a big box over.
Su Ruan took out the things and handed them to a few people, "This is ginseng collected from the northeast."
"I heard Ming Chen say that when you were young, your uncles and aunties suffered a lot for national construction. Now that you are older, it should be right to make up for it."
"We don't understand either. We heard that ginseng supplements are the most suitable for people with physical losses, so I asked my comrades to find some."
These are all people who know the goods. Mrs. Jiang opened the box and glanced at it, and said in surprise, "Ginseng for 30 years? This is a good thing. ."
He Ju also said, "It's hard to get this thing, and it's hard for you to find so much."
Su Ruan said, "This is what it should be. Compared to your help to Brother Mingchen, what is this?"
This is a nice word, and other people also nodded, whether this thing is good or not, of course they can feel it.
I didn't even look at the tobacco and alcohol at hand.
Lin Meixiang was shivering, and Su Ruan had completely regained the home court, plus a few people were bored with the Lu family, and Su Ruan and Lu Mingchen sent them away in the end.
Before getting into the car, Mrs. Jiang took Su Ruan's hand and said to Lu Mingchen, "Now that you are married, we are relieved, Lao Jiang always remembers your father's life-saving kindness."
He said kindly to Su Ruan, "Good boy, I will keep in touch with you in the future."
The complexion of the deer family is completely ugly, and they always remember the grace of saving their lives, but they have never contacted them for more than ten years.
Look at their attitude towards Su Ruan and Lu Mingchen. The banquet they spent so much effort was all about making wedding clothes for the couple.
The old man Lu stared at Lu Mingchen and Su Ruan, wondering what he was thinking, Su Ruan suddenly turned around, "Ah, that's right!"
"Grandpa, Auntie, I bought those ginseng just now with the dowry you gave me." She said a little embarrassedly, "I also exchanged the gold ring that Aunt Fu gave me. After I bought the house and finished the decoration, I was a little nervous, should the gift money for the banquet should also be given to us..."
…
"Hahaha, I think if I hadn't been afraid of Auntie Li and the others, Lin Meixiang would have jumped up and scolded people!" On the way home, Pei Zhiming couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law's trick is really good. clever."
Su Ruan was proud, "This is called to go their way, and they have no way to go, we are short of money."
"But they can figure out whether you are short of money?" Pei Zhiming said.
"Forget it, I bought a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, no, and a stereo player for karaoke. Can I still spend the money?"
"From now on, they don't want to give Brother Mingchen a penny!"
She raised her chin slightly and asked Lu Mingchen for credit, "How is it? I did a good job."
Lu Mingchen smiled, "Not bad."
The car stopped in the unit building of Ping'an Community. From today, they will move into the wedding room.
Su Ruan was really excited, this is what she is most looking forward to getting married today! -Have my own house to live in!
It is also fortunate that Lu Jiaguang thought about making contacts with foxes and tigers, and did not engage in other messy links. Pei Zhiming and the others were all concerned about Lu Mingchen's body and did not make trouble.
It was just after six o'clock when they came back.
Su Ruan walked ahead excitedly, Pei Zhiming and Huang Haiwei supported Lu Mingchen and followed him upstairs with a wheelchair.
Open the door and turn on the lights, all in one go, Su Ruan looked at the new house in a very good mood.
The house was renovated a week ago: light gray floor tiles, white walls, and not much furniture.
Because she wanted to move in immediately, Su Ruan didn't use paint, she simply painted the walls, and the furniture only added sofas, coffee tables, desks, dining tables, and other simple and practical items. There is also a main Large bedroom closet.
The all-in-one cabinet that my uncle made for her will take some time to dry before she can enter the house.
Fortunately, they don't have much, so they are enough for the time being.
"My God, is this the boss?!" Pei Zhiming charged directly to the opposite wall with his wheelchair on his back.
Lu Mingchen was also stunned, this person with no material desire didn't care what the house was like at all, only when it was just renovated, he was urged by Su Ruan to take a look.
How Su Ruan arranged later, he had no idea at all.
He thought that Su Ruan was joking when he said that he wanted to hang his photo in the living room, but he didn't expect that she would actually hang it in the living room, or the kind you can see as soon as you enter the door.
Su Ruan admired the photo again, "How about it, handsome."
"He's so handsome!" Pei Zhiming couldn't help but envy, "It's so beautiful, I want to get married too."
"No, I'll go back later and ask my sister to calculate my luck for me, I must get married next year!"
"I want to take pictures like this too!"
Su Ruan laughed, "You can take photos without getting married?"
Pei Zhiming was stunned, "Isn't this a wedding photo?"
Su Ruan did not expect Pei Zhiming to be so stupid when he was young, "It's all film, you can take pictures as you want."
"Single photo, brother photo, brother and sister photo... Any kind of photo will not work, even a wedding photo."
Pei Zhiming reacted, patted his forehead, and immediately dragged Huang Haiwei, "Let's go, let's go together! We'll go tomorrow."
Huang Haiwei was dragged away by Pei Zhiming like a girl who was robbed by force.
Su Ruan shook her head and laughed.
Sending the two away, Su Ruan threw herself on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief, before feeling the exhaustion all over her body, "It's so tiring to get married!"
She looked at Lu Mingchen who was sitting in a wheelchair, and his face rarely showed fatigue.
Su Ruan didn't want to move for a while, and said, "Go take a shower first, let's rest early after washing."
Lu Mingchen froze and looked at Su Ruan suddenly.
Su Ruan was taken aback by his reaction, "What's wrong?"
Lu Mingchen seemed to want to understand something again, coughed lightly, "Nothing."
Su Ruan recalled what he just said, and understood, squinting at Lu Mingchen and teasing, "I said baby brother, what did you think just now?"
Lu Mingchen glanced at her, of course not admitting, "What do you think?" Then he directly controlled the wheelchair and walked to the bathroom.
Su Ruan couldn't help laughing when he looked at his red ears, really innocent.
But she still got up and followed. Lu Mingchen, who had just entered the bathroom, was instantly alert, "What are you doing?"
Su Ruan was amused by him, "I said Brother Mingchen, what are you nervous about?"
Lu Mingchen leaned lazily on the back of the wheelchair, "Who is nervous?"
"Oh?" Su Ruan said, "Then I will test you, how are you going to go out after taking a shower?"
She glanced at him, "You didn't take anything, did you? Towel, change clothes..." She said here, suddenly covering her face, and said in surprise, "Do you want me to help you? take it?"
"Oh, brother Mingchen, you are so scheming."
Lu Mingchen:…
The pink clouds spread out from behind Lu Mingchen's ears uncontrollably.
Su Ruan was finally pushed out.
Su Ruan laughed.
Lu Mingchen took a shower, Su Ruan turned and entered the master bedroom to remove makeup.
This house has two bedrooms and one living room. The master bedroom faces south and the second bedroom faces north. The doors of the two rooms are opposite, and the bathroom is in the middle.
Su Ruan rudely occupied the master bedroom. After all, Lu Mingchen was often absent, so occupying the master bedroom would be a waste.
Su Ruan got up and went out, and was stunned when she saw the person.
It should be for convenience, he is not in a wheelchair, but on crutches, but also because of this, it is not convenient for him to wipe his body, the shirt used as pajamas is tightly buttoned, but it is wet attached to the body.
Su Ruan looked at the looming eight-pack abs and sighed in her heart, she was really lonely...
