Chapter 538, Applying for a Certificate
That night, Lu An concentrated on painting all night without any evil intentions.
That night, Ye Run stayed, looking anxious for the first half of the night, fearing that someone would make a sudden attack in the middle of the night and crawl on him. I drank too much and went to the bathroom. After seeing him engrossed in his work, my heart suddenly became quiet, and I slept very sweetly in the second half of the night.
The next morning, when it was almost dawn outside, the little wife got up.
Seeing that he was still staring at the easel meticulously, she came over and stood next to him for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry? How long will it take to finish painting?"
"Come on, wife, go buy a fish and come back. I want rice for breakfast." Lu An turned around and smiled at her, then continued working.
After following the paintbrush with his eyes for a while, Ye Run went out to the vegetable market.
Someone loved to eat crucian carp and mandarin fish, but especially hated sea bass. With this in mind, she visited the entire aquatic product market, and finally bought a mandarin fish, which weighed eighty-two pounds.
After buying the fish, I also bought green beans. I planned to make a dry stir-fry of green beans. Then I also bought some dried shrimps and leeks.
Chives and shrimp are also an excellent dish.
When she got home, it took her almost 50 minutes to finish it.
At this time, Lu An had just finished the painting. While washing his hands, he said to her, "I'm going to the Changcheng Market after dinner."
Ye Run was not surprised at all by this, and asked with concern: "You haven't slept all night, will you leave again if you don't rest?"
Lu An said, "No, go to sleep on the plane. I've already asked Zeng Ziqian to give me a good ticket."
Hearing this, Ye Run didn't say anything more, but hesitantly asked: "Are you going back to Shao City this time?"
Lu An thought for a while and replied: "It's hard to say for the time being. It depends on the situation."
Then he turned around and asked, "Do you want me to go see Aunt Yue?"
Ye Run shook his head: "I kind of want to go back with you. Her birthday is the day after tomorrow, but I haven't made up my mind yet."
Lu An understood immediately, "Okay, I will tell Zeng Ziqian to buy you a ticket now, and then I will ask Lu Qing to take you back to Shao City."
She was worried and said: "I didn't ask for leave because I was afraid of the teacher."
Lu An waved his hand, "This is not a problem, I will take care of it."
Seeing this, Ye Run was relieved and filled two bowls of rice, one bowl in front of him and one bowl for himself. Then he took two pairs of chopsticks and set them up. He was not in a hurry to eat, and watched eagerly as he called Zeng Zi. Qian.
Two minutes later, Lu An ended the call and not only asked Zeng Ziqian to buy a plane ticket, but also asked her to prepare a birthday gift to take away with her.
Originally, it would be more convenient to buy birthday gifts at Changshi, as there is no need to carry them so far, but considering that the local specialties in Jinling may not be available in Changshi, I still bought them here.
After dinner, the two set off for the airport, where Zeng Ziqian was already waiting there in person.
As soon as they met, Lu An asked, "There are so many things going on in the company, why did you come in person?"
Zeng Ziqian handed him his birthday gift, "I'm not that busy today. I plan to go to Shanghai later."
Lu An took the gift and asked, "How is the situation on the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"
Zeng Ziqian reported: "It is in the decoration stage and the progress is good. In addition, Director Yang has just recruited a group of new people and is undergoing pre-job training. I will go back now to check and accept the results of the phased training."
Lu An asked: "How many people have been recruited this time?"
Zeng Ziqian said: "180 people, this is just the first phase, and we are still recruiting. We plan to recruit them in three batches. We plan to survive by eliminating the fittest and retain about 400 people."
Lu An pondered for a moment and said: "We can recruit more people. There are so many districts in Shanghai. Once the operations of these six districts are stable, we must immediately implement other districts. We cannot leave the opportunity to others. We must race against time to seize the land." "
Zeng Ziqian reminded: “The early salary expenses will be relatively large.”
Lu An said, "This is indeed a problem, but we will have a new round of expansion in the second half of the year, and we won't be able to earn much more in these two months."
Seeing that the boss had made such a decision, Zeng Ziqian said no more and nodded, "I will immediately arrange for manpower to conduct site visits in other areas of Shanghai, and strive to get the promising prime location directly this time."
Lu An said: "Okay, you can go ahead and do it with all your courage. We must win the entire Shanghai market in one fell swoop. If you don't have enough money, just come to me and I'll find a way."
Zeng Ziqian nodded and watched the two of them check in and board the plane.
After not sleeping a wink all night, Lu An was really sleepy. He tried hard to gather energy and waited until the plane entered the stratosphere, but he couldn't hold back and fell asleep.
Ye Run stared blankly at his side face for a while. He thought of something for a moment and his face turned red inexplicably. Then he looked away, picked up a magazine, and browsed aimlessly.
Two hours later, Ye Run, who heard the voice of the flight attendant's announcement, put down the magazine and pinched Lu An's arm with his fingers, "Little stove, wake up, we are about to get off the plane."
Lu An opened his eyes and looked outside, then looked at the little wife beside him, and suddenly grinned, "I had a dream just now. I dreamed about my past life. I dreamed that our children were quarreling. You ran over and kicked each other."
Ye Run pursed his lips and didn't believe this nonsense at all, thinking that he was deliberately taking advantage of her.
This time he came to Changshi on a whim. Because his wife was following him, he did not inform Sister Qingchi.
So no one picked up the plane.
After leaving the gate, Lu An looked around half a circle, and then said to Lu Qing: "Sister Lu, you can take Ye Run directly back to Shao City. I will take a taxi to Xiangya Hospital."
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing refused to give in and insisted on sending him to Meng Qingchi first, and then escorted Ye Run away.
Ye Run was also worried about his safety and echoed Lu Qing's thoughts.
Seeing this, Lu An had no choice but to agree with the two people's opinions.
Huanghua Airport is far from the city center. It took a long time to get to the main entrance of Xiangya Hospital. Looking outside, Lu An asked Ye Run before getting off the car: "How many days do you plan to stay at home?"
Ye Run said: "I will leave after my mother's birthday."
Lu An thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Changshi first, and then we will go together."
Thinking of Meng Qingchi's pregnancy, Ye Run didn't say yes or no, but just said that we would see the situation at that time.
Lu An knew her temper, and after looking at Lu Qing, he opened the car door and walked down.
"Call me when you get home." He ordered on the side of the road.
Ye Run hummed lightly, his eyes stayed on him for a while, then rolled up the car window and left.
Watching the taxi leave, Lu An calmed down, and then impatiently went to the two-story courtyard across the street.
At this time, the courtyard door was locked from the inside. He didn't have the key, so he could only look up and shout: "Sister Qingchi, Sister Qingchi!"
After shouting several times, there was no movement on the second floor, but the neighbors came out and looked at him.
Well, being watched by so many people like a monkey, Lu An stopped shouting decisively and took out his Nokia to call.
The ringing sounded for 6 times in a row without any response. When he was about to hang up, a voice suddenly came from the other side, "Xiao An, have you eaten at this time?"
"Not yet, Sister Qingchi, are you home?"
"Yes, I was cooking in the kitchen with my mother just now. The sound of the steamer was quite loud, so I didn't hear the phone for a while." Meng Qingchi explained.
Lu An looked at the window on the second floor, "I'm downstairs, Sister Qingchi, open the door quickly."
"You are downstairs?" Meng Qingchi, who was a little surprised, walked to the window with her mobile phone, looked out, and her face was surprised at first, and then full of smiles.
After, there was no after, she hung up directly and walked quickly to the corridor entrance.
Down, turned the corner, continued downstairs, ran across the yard, and finally opened the far door.
Lu An stepped in and closed the door with his back foot, then picked up his sweetheart regardless of anything, first turned around happily twice, and then, urged by the full joy, he kissed her mouth.
After a short kiss, he hugged her and said, "Sister Qingchi, I miss you so much."
Meng Qingchi felt dizzy, passive throughout the whole process, passive hugging, passive kissing, but she was happy from the bottom of her heart, "Well, why did you come suddenly?"
Lu An couldn't help kissing her red lips again, "My wife is pregnant, such a big thing, as a husband, can I not come as soon as possible?"
Meng Qingchi didn't criticize him for skipping class this time, and smiled and hummed again.
After a while, she said, "Let's go to the second floor. The food is almost ready. Let's eat right away."
Lu An was reluctant to let go of her hand and led her to the second floor. "I have a big appetite. Is the food enough?"
Meng Qingchi wanted to pull her hand away, but it didn't work after pulling it twice. So she just followed his lead. "There are three dishes, which should be enough. I'll cook two more for you later.
As for the rice, we'll cook it while we eat. You can drink some beer first. You haven't finished the beer you bought last time. It's just the right time to drink it."
" Look, look, it's clearly arranged. It's good to have a wife, and we are happy. "
Lu An blinked, and the smugness on his face made Meng Qingchi laugh. He said dotingly: "Even if Xiao An is not my man, I will serve you well. When have I ever treated you badly?"
Thinking of her meticulous care for him in the past few years, Lu An nodded heavily, "That's right, Sister Qingchi is the best to me in the world."
Going up to the second floor, thinking of Aunt Meng, he wanted to let go of Sister Qingchi's hand.
But he didn't expect to be caught by Li Meng.
Or, Li Meng had come out of the kitchen a long time ago, and when he brought out the dishes, he didn't see his daughter. He felt something was wrong, and after searching for a while, he came to the window, and then saw the scene from a high position.
The scene where Lu An hugged Meng Qingchi and kissed him in circles.
Looking at this beautiful scene, even if Li Meng's heart has not completely changed, she has to admit that Xiao An and Qingchi are very compatible and look like a couple.
Their eyes met, and Lu An quietly let go of Sister Qingchi's hand, blurting out "Mom" like in the previous life.
Li Meng was stunned by the unexpected "Mom", and Meng Qingchi was also a little unprepared.
But thinking that her eldest daughter was pregnant, and thinking of the scene downstairs just now, what else could she be but a mother?
At this point, she had to be a mother.
Thinking of this, Li Meng, who came to her senses, did not embarrass him. She nodded gently and said, "You chat with your sister Qingchi first, and I will make some side dishes. Have a drink with me tonight."
Li Meng subconsciously still called herself "Auntie", and was not used to saying the word "Mom" for a while.
"Okay." Lu An agreed, but he put his hands on Meng Qingchi's shoulders and pushed him to the kitchen.
Meng Qingchi looked back and smiled, letting him push, and the two followed into the kitchen one after the other.
Seeing the two of them come in, Li Meng didn't say anything, and quickly picked up the iron pot to make the third dish.
Meng Qingchi did not stop and started to prepare the fourth and fifth dishes, both of which were selected according to Luan's preferences.
Luan also did not stop, taking out the rice from the rice cooker and then cooking another small pot of rice.
The three of them had a clear division of labor, and no one greeted them, but they had a rare tacit understanding, and each of them had something to do.
Li Meng asked him: "Xiaoan, how many days will you be back this time?"
Thinking that Ye Run came back with him and could not stay too long, Lu An replied: "About three days."
Li Meng asked again: "Do you want to go back to your hometown this time?"
Lu An said: "I just went back on May Day. I won't go back this time. I will spend three days with Sister Qingchi."
Li Meng nodded and said, "I have an appointment with an old Chinese medicine doctor tomorrow. You're here just in time. You can drive by then. It's not good for your sister Qingchi to wear a seat belt while driving and tighten her lower abdomen."
When it comes to his wife and children, Lu An naturally agrees.
While cooking, Lu An, who had been feeling a little nervous, suddenly realized that Aunt Meng's attitude towards him was much better this time than last time. It seemed that he was more valuable than his father, and now the Meng family was forced to recognize his greatness. Son-in-law status.
During the meal, Li Meng brought up old matters again and once again talked about Lu An and Meng Qingchi's marriage certificate.
There was nothing she could do about it. Although Lu An had a guarantee last time, after all, he and his daughter were only in the relationship stage, so she couldn't push too hard.
But things are different now. With the eldest daughter becoming pregnant, everything has changed. As a mother, she has to seriously bring up the matter of obtaining the certificate again.
Meng Qingchi said euphemistically: "Mom, Xiao An is still studying. It's too early to get married. Didn't we agree to wait until he graduates? Don't interfere with him too early, otherwise it will affect his creation."
Seeing that Lu An was about to express his position, Meng Qingchi quietly kicked him under the table to signal him not to cause trouble.
Meng Qingchi understood that Xiaoan might be desperate for her, but as a wife, she still had to think about his reputation. She couldn't do anything recklessly, and she had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
Li Meng had a clear view of the two people's little moves and saw that it was the eldest daughter's idea. He also felt that the eldest daughter was reasonable and she could not force her too much.
After pondering for a long time, she took a step back and said to Meng Qingchi and Lu An: "The wedding ceremony can be postponed until after graduation, but Qingchi, you are older, and your pregnancy will become apparent in a few months. Many things cannot be hidden." Yes, so you must get your marriage certificate in advance, so that you can give an explanation to me, your father, the relatives and friends of the Meng family, and your two children. "
Obviously, Li Meng didn't want her eldest daughter to have the reputation of having a child out of wedlock. This was her final bottom line.
Lu An solemnly expressed his position: "Aunt Meng, you don't need to say this, I will do it. Sister Qingchi cannot be wronged."
After looking at him for a while, Meng Qingchi didn't say anything more about applying for the certificate. He just said: "Mom, forget about the wedding ceremony. I'm so older than Xiao An, and the child will be almost 2 years old by then. I don't want to make it so grand or irritate the little one." Sister, I don’t want to be so tired, plain and simple is the best, the most real, and the most in line with my temperament.”
In fact, Meng Qingchi only spoke half of what he said.
She didn't want to hold a wedding ceremony because she was afraid of further irritating her younger sister, but she was even more afraid of irritating Yu Guanzhi and the Yu family.
There are some things that if you keep a low profile and everyone turns a blind eye, you can still get by.
If he flips the table and causes a scene, it won't be good for anyone.
She has lived in a systemic family since she was a child, and has the deepest understanding of the system. She understands that a family like the Yu family values face the most. In this regard, whether it is for herself, Xiao An, or Yu Guanzhi, she must be cautious and cautious again and again.
As soon as these words came out, Lu An knew what Sister Qingchi was thinking, but it was indeed something that had to be faced objectively. Although he loved Sister Qingchi very much, he could not completely ignore the feelings of the Yu family.
While he was thinking about countermeasures, Meng Qingchi reached out and squeezed his palm, indicating that he would listen to him.
Li Meng didn't think about the Yu family, but thought about Qing Shui. He frowned for a long time and sighed helplessly: "That's fine, I'll go home and talk to your dad.
But after all, marriage is a major event in life, and it only happens once in a lifetime. As the parties involved, you still need to discuss it more. It is still at the consideration stage. If you think about it then, you still have time, and you can change your mind. "
Lu An and Meng Qingchi looked at each other and said hello.
