Chapter 264 The appointment of the Lord of the Continent is truly wonderful
"Sister Zhuang, don't buy anything. I'll just eat a little something," Sun Yongxian said hurriedly.
"I know you prefer what I cook, don't worry."
Zhuang Qingxiang finished speaking with a smile and left the house, but instead of going to the supply and marketing cooperative, she went straight to Lu Congyue's office.
She had come many times, and many people knew her and knew that she was Director Lu's wife, so she found Lu Congyue very easily.
"Why did you come here? What happened?"
Lu Congyue felt a sudden tightness in his chest when he saw her suddenly come over.
He knew her personality; she was the least likely to go out and the least likely to bother others.
Something big must have happened if they suddenly show up.
"I'm fine," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly said. "The children are fine too. I came here to tell you to call Dr. Shi and tell him that Yongxian is staying with us for a couple of days."
Lu Congyue was slightly surprised: "Teacher Sun is here?"
"Yes, we had a fight and I'm upset, so I came here to clear my head." Zhuang Qingxiang sighed. "Remember to tell him not to worry Doctor Shi, I have to go back right away."
"Okay, I understand. Be careful on your way back," Lu Congyue replied.
Zhuang Qingxiang left in a hurry again; she still needed to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, after all, she had used that as an excuse to leave.
Lu Congyue stood by the window and watched her figure disappear before making a phone call to the military factory and telling Shi Peiran about the situation.
Shi Peiran breathed a huge sigh of relief: "It's good that she's with you. I was really afraid she'd run off and get into trouble."
Lu Congyue's tone was cold: "If you were afraid, you shouldn't have let her run away. Since she did, you should have followed her. How could you let a woman like her come to the provincial capital alone?"
On the other end of the phone, Shi Peiran blushed slightly with embarrassment.
He wanted to explain that he had scolded his parents and that he had chased after them, but he just couldn't catch up...
"I don't care why you're arguing, you better come over here and take your wife back!" Lu Congyue said impatiently. "It's the New Year, and you've made your wife so angry that she ran away from home. You're really something."
"I'll take leave and buy tickets right away!" Shi Peiran said quickly.
Lu Congyue snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
The troublesome young couple...
Hurry up and take him home. This is the first time he's spent Chinese New Year with his wife and children, and he doesn't want any outsiders in his home.
When Zhuang Qingxiang arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she was frightened by the people inside.
Perhaps because it's almost Chinese New Year, there are more and more people at the supply and marketing cooperatives every day. From what they've said, the department stores are even more crowded, with people having to go there before dawn to queue up.
Zhuang Qingxiang was afraid of crowds and felt uneasy looking at them, so she quickly left.
She returned home empty-handed and explained to Sun Yongxian that there were too many people and she couldn't squeeze in.
"I was thinking of buying you some snacks, but since that's the case, I'll make you some instead."
Thinking that Sun Yongxian had never tried her sesame and pepper salt shortbread, Zhuang Qingxiang made this.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Yongxian exclaimed in astonishment when she saw the finished shortbread: "Sister Zhuang, you can make this too!"
"What? You've eaten there?"
"Yes, it's a new product from the supply and marketing cooperative. I've bought it several times." Sun Yongxian couldn't wait to start eating, and then Lianlian exclaimed, "Sister Zhuang, yours tastes even better than what the supply and marketing cooperative sells."
Zhuang Qingxiang smiled and said, "The ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative are made using recipes that the food factory bought from me. Since you can buy this, you must have also bought steamed millet cake with milk flavor, right? Those are also made using recipes I provided. This is the price per recipe!"
Zhuang Qingxiang held up one finger and shook it.
Sun Yongxian: "Ten yuan?"
Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head: "One hundred yuan!"
Sun Yongxian immediately burst into a surprised scream, hugged Zhuang Qingxiang tightly, and jumped and shouted.
"Sister Zhuang, you're amazing! One prescription is a hundred, two prescriptions are two hundred! Isn't that making a fortune? My goodness, you're earning more than Director Lu's salary, right? Director Lu is really lucky, he can practically live off his wife."
Lu Congyue, who had just returned home from get off work: "..."
"Teacher Sun!" Little Lu Yue, who was standing next to Lu Congyue, recognized who it was. Excitedly, she shook off Lu Congyue's hand and rushed into the house like a little cannonball, shouting "Teacher Sun" all the while.
Sun Yongxian also heard Xiao Luyue's voice and immediately squatted down and opened her arms to welcome her.
"Our Yueyue is back from school! Let me see if she's grown taller."
The two of them were shouting and laughing, extremely happy.
Little Lu Yue had no time to pay attention to her parents and younger brothers; she just clung to Sun Yongxian, following her around like a little shadow.
Then Sun Yongxian learned that she and Xiao Chenglin had changed their surname to Lu, and that Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue had already gotten married.
"Really?" Sun Yongxian couldn't believe it.
Xiao Luyue nodded vigorously: "It's true, my mom... my mom even lets my dad sleep on our kang (heated brick bed), we're a family."
Zhuang Qingxiang's cheeks instantly flushed: "Yueyue, don't talk nonsense."
Sun Yongxian covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously, "Tsk tsk, everyone's gone to bed now..."
"Oh dear, don't talk nonsense in front of the child," Zhuang Qingxiang said hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, but I'm very angry!" Sun Yongxian huffed. "Sister Zhuang, am I not your closest sister? How could you not tell me about such a big event and not let me come to your wedding?!"
"We didn't have a banquet, we just got a marriage certificate," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly said. "At our age, we didn't want to have any kind of ceremony."
"What's wrong with your age? You're thirty, in your prime! Look at your appearance, your figure... we young people can't compare to you." Sun Yongxian started covering her mouth and laughing again.
Even though she was saying nice things, Zhuang Qingxiang always felt that there was something hidden in her words, and that they weren't really nice.
"Shut up and eat your snacks," Zhuang Qingxiang scolded, her face flushed. "I'll go check the kitchen."
Lu Congyue was afraid he would feel uncomfortable talking to them, so he went to the kitchen as soon as he got back.
Seeing Zhuang Qingxiang come over, he smiled and said, "I'll cook tonight, you go and keep Teacher Sun company."
"Yueyue is with her," Zhuang Qingxiang said, gesturing with her lips. "Did you tell Doctor Shi?"
"Hmm." Lu Congyue glanced at his watch. "It should arrive first thing tomorrow morning."
Did he say anything to you?
Lu Congyue asked, puzzled, "What did you say?"
"It's his unreasonable parents," Zhuang Qingxiang said, pursing her lips. "His mother slapped Yongxian, and Doctor Shi didn't send them away?"
Lu Congyue, unaware of this, frowned upon hearing it: "Such a thing exists?"
Zhuang Qingxiang became increasingly worried: "He's here... You should meet him first and tell him that to avoid conflict, you should send his parents home. He's the third child in his family, with two older brothers. How can his parents spend the New Year with the third child...?"
"Okay, I'll have the security guards stop him tomorrow morning. I'll talk to him first and see what he thinks." Lu Congyue nodded.
"We have to persuade him! Yongxian is going to divorce him!" Zhuang Qingxiang sighed.
"Divorce is impossible," Lu Congyue said calmly. "Shi Peiran will absolutely not agree to it!"
