Song Qiaoli looked at Lu Zhenghong again. She smiled and shook her head, "In-law, no need for bride price. The three golds have already been bought, we can accept them. As for the date of the marriage, it depends on the two children. It seems that Xinghui has to be over the age of late marriage to get married, right?"

Guo Suhua couldn't imagine that Song Qiaoli didn't even want the bride price. She was shocked and said, "In-law, this is not acceptable. How can you not want the bride price? This makes us feel so embarrassed! And it doesn't sound good to say it out. Others will think our family is very stingy."

Song Qiaoli thought about it, and it was indeed the truth. She nodded and said, "Then please act according to your ability, in-law. However, we don't want a penny of the bride price you give. It will all be Xiaoya's dowry, so that the two children can live a good life."

Guo Suhua said, "Then let's set it at 18,888. This number is auspicious."

Song Qiaoli nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Guo Suhua said, "As for the date of the marriage, Xinghui wants to set it on National Day next year. However, he wants to get the marriage certificate with Xiaoya on his birthday, July 10th next year."

Lu Xiaoya had actually told her parents about this date, and Song Qiaoli naturally wouldn't object. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's set these two dates."

Guo Suhua said, "That's great, then this marriage of ours can be considered settled."

Next, the two families talked happily. Song Qiaoli said she wanted to invite the Su family to a hotel outside for dinner, but Guo Suhua said to eat at home. The two sides were at a stalemate. Finally, Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, "Then let's eat at home. It's more intimate to eat at home."

Song Qiaoli was about to go cook, and Guo Suhua wanted to go to the kitchen to help her. How could Song Qiaoli let her? She said there was no reason for the in-laws to help cook. She went to Lu Xiaoya's door and knocked, "Xiaoya, come out and help cook."

Although Lu Xiaoya closed the door, she had been listening to the movement outside in her room. As soon as Song Qiaoli knocked on the door, she opened the door immediately. Song Qiaoli laughed, "Xiaoya, why did you open the door so quickly?"

Only then did Lu Xiaoya realize that she seemed to have opened the door too quickly. She blushed all of a sudden, but she didn't forget the etiquette. She greeted Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua and followed Song Qiaoli into the kitchen.

Lu Zhenghong sat with Su Wenjun and his wife for a while, then nodded to them and said, "You sit for a while, I'll go to the study with Xinghui, there is something I need to tell him."

Su Wenjun and his wife hurriedly nodded, "Okay."

Su Xinghui didn't know what Lu Zhenghong wanted to tell him. He stood up and followed Lu Zhenghong into his study.

Lu Zhenghong smiled and looked at Su Xinghui, nodding, "You look very spirited today!"

Su Xinghui was also wearing a suit today, looking grand and formal, spirited, handsome, and dashing.

Su Xinghui laughed, "Today is an unusual day, so naturally I have to dress more formally."

Lu Zhenghong said with some emotion, "Xiaoya will be handed over to you from now on!"

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Lu, don't worry, I will definitely be good to Xiaoya for the rest of my life!"

Lu Zhenghong nodded and then said, "Last night, Secretary Shi of your Yulin City called me."

Secretary Shi? That naturally refers to Shi Deyou. What did he call Lu Zhenghong for? Su Xinghui was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask. He knew Lu Zhenghong must have more to say.

Sure enough, Lu Zhenghong said, "Secretary Shi reported the list of cadre off-site exchanges in your city to me, and your name is on it."

Su Xinghui was very surprised. He knew that the province was promoting the cadre off-site exchange system, but he didn't connect this matter with himself. He still had many things to do in Pengjiawanzhen. Naturally, he didn't want to leave Pengjiawanzhen now.

Su Xinghui said, "Where does the city plan to exchange me to?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "They plan to exchange you to Changshan County."

Changshan County? Su Xinghui's heart couldn't help but turn up stormy waves. Changshan County is the county furthest to the southeast of Yulin City. The whole county is in the mountains, and it is the most remote kind of mountains. Changshan County's GDP ranking has always been the last in the city. This year, their county's GDP is estimated to be less than the GDP of one town in Pengjiawanzhen.

Su Xinghui had been to Changshan County once in his previous life. That was to play in the hometown of a college classmate. That college classmate was from Changshan. When he went, it was already the new century, but the urban construction of Changshan County was not as good as Shangjun County in the 1990s, and the rural areas of Changshan were much poorer than Meng Hu Ling two years ago.

Su Xinghui's brain turned rapidly. Lu Zhenghong asked, "What are your own thoughts?"

Su Xinghui said, "I obey the organization's arrangements."

Lu Zhenghong laughed, "In front of me, you don't need to speak like this. Speak your heart."

Su Xinghui said, "If you let me speak my heart, I don't want to leave Pengjiawanzhen now. It's not because I don't want to go to poor mountainous areas, but because I still have many things to do in Pengjiawanzhen."

Lu Zhenghong nodded silently. He knew that what Su Xinghui said was indeed his heart. He was not afraid of working in poor mountainous areas, otherwise, his first job would not have been in Meng Hu Ling.
