After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

Chapter 964: Marginalized Father Lu

Apart from not having the chance to see my mother-in-law for the last time, I have no other regrets.

She has a husband who loves her dearly and a well-behaved and lovely son.

He touched his bulging belly and raised a faint smile.

After Mrs. Du returned, she asked someone to calculate the time, and the wedding date was finally set on the eighth day after the New Year.

As the wedding approaches, both the Du and Su families become busy.

Su Tian looked like she had lost all hope in life. "Oh my God! I never thought getting married would require so much preparation. I've been spinning like a top all day. And the new house, the decoration and layout inside are all done according to my wishes. I'm almost running myself crazy today. Wuuuuuu, help!"

Fu Ling looked at her with amusement: "Are you sure you're complaining to me? And not showing off?"

"God knows, am I the type to show off? I'm really exhausted. Even people who love shopping as much as I do are vomiting from shopping. Is it so difficult for you to get married?"

"I'm fine! My parents took care of everything for the wedding. We didn't prepare a separate wedding room, so there were relatively few things to prepare."

Xiang Yi comforted him, "Hold on a little longer. This is called a sweet burden. Only people who care about you will keep you busy. People who don't love you and don't care about you will just be perfunctory."

Su Tian suddenly felt that it made sense: "Yiyi, after you said that, I suddenly feel motivated again."

"Is there anything you haven't prepared yet?" Xiangyi asked with a smile.

"Yes, a lot. I've already bought all the furniture and everything. Now I just need curtains, bedding, and daily necessities..."

"If you really don't want to worry about this, just leave the shopping task to Brother Chenyang."

Su Tian shook her head: "Forget it, he has his own things to do, not to mention... I really can't say anything good about his taste."

Fu Ling was a little puzzled: "I remember that Brother Chenyang had a pretty good taste in clothes. How could you dislike him so much?"

"You don't understand! At first, I was planning to be a hands-off boss, but after hearing his ideas, I decisively refused."

"That guy actually wants to buy curtains and tablecloths in bright red peony pattern. How tacky that is! I don't want our wedding room to be made too fancy." Su Tian said in a cryptic way.

"No way? Brother Chenyang doesn't have no aesthetic sense at all, right? Are you mistaken?" Xiangyi asked in disbelief.

"How could I possibly do that? He said it was so festive, and I gave up the moment I heard that. If I leave it to him, I'll be laughed at to death when you come to visit the bridal chamber on the wedding day. I have to save face, so I can be a little tired, but I can't let him make the decision."

Fu Ling smiled and said, "I think the bright red peony is pretty good."

"What? Are you sure you're serious?" Su Tian seriously suspected that she was joking.

"Of course, it's more real than real gold."

"So where do you say it's going?"

“When everything is extremely tacky, it can still be considered fashionable.”

Su Tian looked at Fu Ling speechlessly. She shouldn't have had such high expectations, thinking he would be able to explain something. Unexpectedly...

On the 28th, Lu's father finally arrived in Beijing from his hometown.

He hadn't seen his grandchildren for a year, and Father Lu followed them wherever they went.

"I haven't seen you being very diligent in other days. You only write a few letters throughout the year, and now you're acting like a grandfather and granddaughter?" Mother Lu complained.

Father Lu felt wronged! Who was ignoring whom? This woman was the first to complain!

"What are you talking about? I wrote to you asking you to send me more pictures of the children, but you didn't send me a single one. Every time I write a letter, it's at least three pages long, but you just sent me a few short lines. Who's being perfunctory?"

Mother Lu continued to speak confidently, "I'm really busy. All the pictures of the children have been made into a photo wall. How can I have any left to send to you?"

"Besides, you're so busy, how do you have time to think about the children? You're a very busy person. Don't think I don't know that when we're not home, you're willing to devote 24 hours to the police station. I guess you rarely have time to go home, right?"

Mother Lu's string of words left Father Lu speechless: "I...I just find it troublesome. You guys aren't home, so I'm alone every time I go home. That's why I have to live in the police station."

"Oh my, why don't you go back home? Instead, you act so pitiful for who are you trying to show off to?"

"Okay, I can't argue with you, okay? Everything you say is right."

Seeing her father suffer a setback, Lu Wanning gloated over his misfortune.

Father Lu glared at her fiercely.

"Dad, I'm not saying this, but Mom is more than capable of supporting you now. Why don't you retire early? That way you can go to the restaurant and help Mom."

Mother Lu interrupted with a forced smile, "Wan Ning, don't you understand your father? He's been toiling away all his life. Besides, the police station wouldn't work without him. Without him in charge, it would fall apart sooner or later."

Father Lu felt like he was redundant. It had been such a long time since they last met, and not only did he not feel sorry for him, but he was also sarcastic to him. He felt so upset.

Fortunately, Lu's mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is not forgiving with words, but she cares about him in her actions. She knows what he likes to eat. Several dishes on the table are specially prepared for him, and she cooks them herself.

"Where is Beichen? The New Year is just a few days away, why don't I see him?" Father Lu asked at the dinner table.

"Dad, I can't come back for the New Year because of something. I've already called home." Fu Ling replied.

"Is the army so busy now?" Father Lu didn't know about Lu Beichen's transfer.

Everyone then remembered that they had not told him about this matter.

Mother Lu didn't feel guilty at all and explained calmly, "The second son applied to join the Air Force Department. He's been very busy lately and isn't in Beijing."

"What? He went to the Air Force?" Father Lu was so shocked that he almost knocked over his bowl.

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

"It's been almost half a year. I was thinking of waiting for you to come to Beijing." In fact, she didn't think of him at all.

Mr. Lu knew it very well. Half a year had passed and it was a done deal. Even if he had objections, there was nothing he could do.

Oh, I can't help but consider whether I really should retire early.

If this continues, he, the head of the family, will be marginalized sooner or later.

He has a scale in his heart and knows what is more important to him.

Over the past few months, Lu Beichen has almost fully utilized his talents. After discussion, the higher-ups unanimously decided to make an exception and allow him to join an important R&D department ahead of schedule.

In order to support him, Fu Ling anonymously donated 2000 million to the Air Force Research and Development Department.

Only she and Lu Beichen knew about this matter, and even her family had never mentioned it.

New Year's Eve.

Father Lu took the children to write and post couplets early in the morning and was very busy.
