Chapter 818 Strike While the Iron is Hot
Gu Qianru had been waiting at the gate early on, feeling sorry for the child’s plight; she wanted him to feel the warm affection from the family and help him overcome his previous mental shadows sooner.
In the afternoon, Luo Qiao returned home as planned, changed her clothes, greeted her family, and then headed straight for the train station with her grandparents in tow, carrying things with her.
By the time they arrived in Ji City, it was already past 11 PM. When Second Brother Luo Xuyuan picked them up, his face was all smiles, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Qiaoqiao, you’ve all worked hard."
Luo Haotian said, "Could we not have worked hard? You were so anxious you couldn’t even wait until the New Year was over."
Luo Xuyuan was a bit embarrassed, "It was hard to get Xiao Ya’s parents to agree, so I had to strike while the iron was hot. Besides, everything at home is almost ready, and we can still make it after the New Year’s celebration."
Zhou Guifang reached out to pat her grandson’s back, "You kids, it’s like you think the Xiao Family doesn’t need time to prepare."
Luo Xuyuan ran forward a few steps with a smile, "When we confirmed our relationship, Xiao Ya already wrote to her family, and the Xiao Family had started preparing long ago. I figured we’re going to get married sooner or later, so why not take advantage of the holidays and do it."
After listening, Luo Daoren spoke up, "It’s not unacceptable. Tomorrow, we will have a heart-to-heart talk with the Xiao Family, as the kids are not young anymore and we do not want to delay their studies. It’s a reasonable decision."
When they got home, Luo Xuyuan brought out steamed buns, dishes, and porridge that had been prepared earlier from the kitchen. Everyone had a simple meal and then went to sleep early after washing up.
The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao got up early to tidy up, having already agreed between themselves: as long as their daughter liked the guy and he was decent, and if the Luo Family were good people, they wouldn’t oppose their children’s wishes to get married over the holiday.
After all, their daughter would be twenty-one next year, and delaying a few more years would make her an old maid. Both were university students, and besides, the young man from the Luo Family had said that he had an income and wouldn’t let Xiao Ya suffer. They had also heard their daughter praise her future husband for his capabilities.
