FSC [QT] Chapter 24.1

After making arrangements for the marriage with the Xu family, Widow Xu set up a banquet and invited close relatives from both the Lin family and the Xu family, which was considered to be a clear sign of the marriage.

Of course, while making the engagement, Widow Xu also did not forget to tell the outside world, as her son had asked, that although the two families were engaged, due to her son’s destiny not to get married early, they would not get married until after he had his crowning’s ceremony.

Regardless of whether this destiny was true or false, Widow Xu already said it in a big way, so others could no longer criticize her on this matter. The rumors surrounding the Lin family these days had suddenly decreased a lot.

But after all, it had already left a bad impression on people before, so no matter how much it was criticized, it could not save the image of Widow Xu, mother and son in the eyes of others.

After the engagement, Lin Pingchun went back to Yunshan Academy, rarely coming back for a month or two. Fortunately, Xu Baozhu and Lin Pingchun were officially engaged, so Xu Baozhu already had a status. She came to Lin’s house more and more frequently. With her around, Widow Xu didn’t feel bored.

A man and a woman who once made a promise to have a baby marriaged, now the girl was already married and the man had made another marriage appointment. No one put them together to talk about their things anymore.

Only occasionally people would suddenly say something in private, and more often than not they would lament the impermanence of fate.

For Jiang Wu, daily life after marriage was still happy.

After surviving the first three days, she was able to see her father every day. While she was loved by her father and Grandma Ding, she also gained four more relatives.

Jiang Wu felt that getting married was really a wonderful thing.

If people around her hadn’t told her that a woman could only marry one man at a time, she would have wanted to get married several more times and have a few more relatives who loved and doted on her like Brother Lindong.

“Ah Wu, do you like learning calligraphy?”

After getting married, Huo Lindong would take Jiang Wu back to Jiang’s house for an hour or two every afternoon. Jiang Baozong taught Huo Lindong, while Jiang Wu was tracing words on the side.

Her learning efficiency was as slow as ever. It usually took two or three days to learn a new word.

“Like.”

Ah Wu said with satisfaction as she looked at the clusters of reptile-like words she had written.

She didn’t know why, however, compared to the original Jiang Wu who studied as if she had completed a task, she enjoyed the learning process from the bottom of her heart.

For her, everything was novel. Every time she learned a new word, every time she recognized a new word, this experience could bring her an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

She felt that maybe she came to this wonderful world just to learn, but what she was learning now was just an incidental bonus. What she really wanted to learn seemed to be something else.

As for what it was, she couldn’t remember.

“Oh.”

Huo Lindong was thoughtful and took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the ink from Jiang Wu’s face.

“Look!” Jiang Wu took out a piece of paper stained with ink as if offering a treasure, “Brother Lindong.”

There were two words written on it, which were crooked. Because the pause time was too long, the ink seeped out and appeared particularly thick.

Huo Lindong also looked at it for a long time before he saw clearly that the two words written above were his name.

“There are so many strokes in Brother Lindong’s name. It’s hard to remember. Ah Wu’s name is simple. From now on, I’ll call you Brother Dongdong.”

Jiang Wu pouted and complained. There are many, many strokes in the word ‘Lin’. Jiang Wu felt that this was the most difficult word she had ever learned. She didn’t understand why he had to choose such a complicated name.

It would be great if Huo Lindong called Huo Dongdong. She only needed to learn one word to be able to remember his name.

But complaining in her heart, Jiang Wu still studied it seriously. She studied the word ‘Lin’ for eleven days.

“It’s really hard work, Ah Wu.”
