At first, Luther thought that the wedding should be held on Mai's birthday, which would be particularly memorable.
However, Mai quickly rejected Luther's proposal.
The time of mid-November is too tight. Many people on Qidao are busy outside, including Mai herself, who also needs to arrange the year-end finishing work on Qidao.
The preparations for a wedding cannot be said to be complicated, but it is a big event after all and requires repeated confirmation of wedding supplies and related matters.
At the same time, Luther also needs to take care of the time arrangements of the people who receive the invitations.
Those who can take leave are lucky, such as Dr. Oki and other researchers. Their daily schedules are very tight, so they often find time to come to Qidao.
After much deliberation, Luther and Mai decided that setting the wedding on the day before the Chinese New Year was the most suitable time.
At this point in time, most people have already started taking annual leave, so there is no time problem.
Even if some people rush back to reunite with their families after the wedding, Qidao has arranged the elves in advance to ensure that they can get home on time the next day.
Of course, there is another point, that is, the atmosphere of Qidao and the New Year are seamlessly connected. From now on, every New Year's Eve is equivalent to a wedding anniversary.
After deciding, Mai asked Huo Yan to start calling the guests who had received invitations and confirmed that they were going to visit Qidao one by one to inform them of the wedding time.
At the same time, Mira also started shopping according to the list Mai had made.
Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate to let Huo Yan do the purchasing, and it would be more reasonable to call Mira to communicate, but Mai just let them all go wrong.
"Huo Yan, you should try it more. If her temperament is tempered, it will actually be good."
Luther raised his hands in agreement with Mai's evaluation of Huo Yan.
Huoyan's execution ability is really incredible. If you ask her to buy a glass jar, no matter whether they sell it or not, you will always get the glass jar in the end.
However, the glass jar may not be purchased.
But the bad thing is this guy's execution ability. Her execution ability has improved, but her communication skills are still the same.
If Mira goes shopping, someone might give you two as a gift.
But when it comes to Huoyan, it becomes like this: if you don’t sell, your store will be closed.
If it were the Fire Goose during the Lava Team era, it would most likely turn into a situation where you would be dead.
Neither Luther nor Mai feel that Huo Yan's character is bad. After all, because of this character, she is the Huo Yan that everyone likes.
But the problem is... Mira also had a bad temper before.
Mira, who came from the rabble, first came to Qidao and heard that Gray Stone might compete with her for a job. She was like a kitten guarding its food, so she almost stretched out her paws.
At that time, she would be thorny when she came into contact with people outside Qidao, and her words would not be polite.
But after taking over the position of Qidao's housekeeper, she immediately changed.
She knows very well that this position is responsible for external affairs, and her actions directly affect the perception of people outside the island.
No matter how detached and mysterious Qidao is, at this stage, he still wants to play with people from the outside world. There is no need to make other people's perception of him subtle.
So she learned to be versatile and say whatever she said to whomever she met.
When someone teases her, depending on the person, she can laugh and say cruel words that make people's hair stand on end, and she can also use a humorous tone to deftly resolve the embarrassment.
"I hope Huo Yan can understand it on his own."
Luther and Mai looked at Huo Yan, who was not far away and was trying hard to smile during the video call, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Luther passed by Huo Yan, looked at his address book, remembered something, and dialed a number based on the number on it.
Tiburim and Cream Fairy walked up to Luther with juice and cake. Luther waved his hand, so they smiled and distributed the juice and cake to the six Gengars who were sitting at home playing poker.
Since when did my home become the habitat of these six fat purple men? Is it because Tibulim and Frost Milk Fairy are both here?
I don’t know when these two little guys started to become angels in the eyes of some elves.
The last time Frost Milk Fairy was bullied by Manafei, Gengar ordered other ghost elves to encircle and suppress Manafei without even needing an order from Frost Milk Fairy.
The poor Prince of Canghai was forced to become a refugee in Canghai. He was dragged to the Frost Milk Fairy to apologize, and now he calls himself the Frost Milk Fairy's supporter.
Luther felt that if it developed for a while, some kind of sect led by the Frost Milk Fairy and Tiburim would definitely be established in the elven circle on the island.
The call was connected, but before Luther could speak, Kongmu Te hurriedly spoke.
"You're calling now, isn't it about something related to the wedding?"
Should Luther say that as a father, Kongmu Tetsu is particularly perceptive?
"Indeed." Luther was not ambiguous and asked directly, "I heard from Mai that there is a chef who has been working with the Soramu family for a long time, right?"
"There were too many people coming on the wedding day, and Qidao's cooking efficiency couldn't accommodate so many people. I could only cook a few signature dishes that I'm good at."
"Mai has already decided on part of the menu, the rest is for you to help find a chef."
Even though the wedding and Mai's status were just short of confirmation, the communication between Luther and Kong Mu Tetsu, the father-in-law, was still casual and even stress-free.
Even Luther couldn't remember exactly when the tone of this conversation was established.
Kong Muche almost didn't hesitate and responded directly: "What did I think? For this little matter, I will arrange it for you right away. Is there anything else?"
"Let Mai not be entangled. As long as she says it, I will try my best to satisfy her."
Knowing that he could not express himself in other aspects, Kongmu Te wanted to make a contribution at this time and kept asking.
"By the way...why didn't Mai call?"
Luther scratched his face and glanced at Gengar, who was laughing happily, eating cake and drinking juice, and Miaomiao, who was using his newly bought cat-teasing stick.
He walked into the courtyard, looked around, raised his head again to confirm that King Feng was not there, and tried to speak the shocking conversation in a calm tone.
"Mai went to the hospital a few days ago for a check-up and found out she's pregnant."
As expected by Luther, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly cut off, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
Luther believed that the heavy breathing sound was that of a ferocious beast.
Mai would not call specifically to tell Kongmu Tetsu about this, but sooner or later he would know about it.
You can't just go and tell Kongmu Che the good news after little Luther is born, saying you can become a grandfather today, right?
There was no other way, so Luther took advantage of today's phone call to arrange the wedding and mentioned the matter "by the way".
"oh."
Kongmu Che responded with one word.
He didn't ask for details, nor did he get angry. He seemed to accept the fact calmly.
The response exceeded Luther's expectations.
"I thought you would be angry," Luther said.
"Why should I be angry?"
"I'm kidding, what am I doing when I'm angry? Isn't this a good thing?"
"This is a good thing..."
After a series of muffled whispers, the brewing emotions were pushed to their peak at this time.
It was like a flood that burst a dam and poured out.
