Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 807: I Want to Introduce You to Them
Chapter 807: Chapter 807: I Want to Introduce You to Them
Lu Yichen’s lips curled upward, his eyes filled with adoration and mirth.
Luo Qiao had just picked up her bowl when a piece of cured meat was added to it: "Eat more."
After the meal, Lu Yichen didn’t rush to leave but snuggled back into the room with Luo Qiao: "Why aren’t you in a hurry to leave today?"
Luo Qiao was a bit tired today, so she leaned against Lu Yichen’s legs, eating the fruit Rong Daniang had prepared for after the meal, and casually picked up a magazine from the table to read.
Lu Yichen looked down at Luo Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, your grandpa and little aunt have been preparing the furniture, do you want to take some time to go check it out and have a meal with them?"
Luo Qiao was stunned for a moment: "They started preparing so early?"
Lu Yichen stroked Luo Qiao’s hair: "Grandpa and little aunt said it’s better to prepare early so there’s time to exchange anything that’s not suitable."
Luo Qiao remembered the plot of land at the police family quarters: "Did they get that plot of land cleaned up?"
Lu Yichen was massaging her head as he spoke: "It’s been cleared. Director Liu from the political department said he’ll bring in some soil from outside to thicken the topsoil. He also said the land needs a few years to become fertile, but I’ve already asked someone to take care of it; the soil will be delivered come springtime."
Luo Qiao browsed the magazine: "Won’t that be too much trouble?"
Lu Yichen replied: "No trouble at all. That plot of land is small, only a handful in size. It won’t need much soil; a few bags in fertilizer sacks should suffice. I’ll have them deliver it in the evening."
After being affectionate for a while, Lu Yichen agreed to pick her up tomorrow morning to attend the engagement banquet before he left.
Yuan Jiawei’s engagement banquet was held using the army’s small auditorium, as the bride’s family also lived in the military family quarters.
When Luo Qiao saw the girl, she smiled. She had seen this girl once before during a visit to the family quarters, where the girl had even offered to help her with the many things she was carrying.
A person with a kind heart, surely her character couldn’t be wrong.
Yuan Jiawei introduced them: "This is Meng Dongyao, your future sister-in-law, who works at the Culture Palace."
Luo Qiao stretched out her hand: "Hello, I’m Luo Qiao, Yuan Jiawei’s sister. This is my fiancé, Lu Yichen."
It was then that Meng Dongyao spoke: "It seems we’ve met before?"
Luo Qiao replied with a light smile: "We’ve met once before at the entrance of the family quarters. You asked if I needed help, remember?"
Meng Dongyao thought for a moment, then said: "Oh, was it during the summer?"
Luo Qiao nodded: "Yes, that’s right."
At that moment, Yuan Jianing also joined in, and they all chatted animatedly. Lu Yichen took up the responsibility of helping them out on the side.
Then, several soldiers entered from outside, exchanged pleasantries with the Yuan and Meng families, and headed straight towards Luo Qiao’s group.
As they approached, they gave Lu Yichen fist bumps and hugs, then patted each other on the backs. One of them began to speak: "Buddy, you don’t know how worried we were. Seeing you’re alright now eases our mind."
"Last time we went to see you, your colleagues at the station said you had just left to handle a case."
"I was worried about you for a long time, but it seems it was all for nothing."
"This means you’re completely recovered now, huh? You’re one lucky guy."
Lu Yichen didn’t respond until they had all had their say, then finally said, "I’m better now, thanks for the concern, brothers."
Then he pulled Luo Qiao up: "Let me introduce her, this is Luo Qiao, my fiancée."
Pointing to the others, he said: "These guys are all good brothers from my time in the military, Zheng Weihai, Jiang Xiaojun, Cao Pengfei."
Luo Qiao smiled: "Nice to meet you."
The men all chorused: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Afterward, people from the military generally came over to greet Lu Yichen, and Luo Qiao was continuously introduced to them by him.
It was only then that Luo Qiao understood why he had taken leave to attend the engagement banquet. It was purposeful. She whispered to him, "That’s about enough, today is someone else’s engagement banquet."
Lu Yichen replied with feigned arrogance: "I just wanted to introduce you to them."
In fact, Lu Yichen had a reason to come today. A few days ago, one of his comrades had reminded him that someone in his former circle was spreading gossip about Qiaoqiao behind his back, saying she wasn’t good enough for him.
