She had no choice but to squat down again, bend over, lower her head, and give Fat Tiger a few kisses on the head. Fat Tiger's mood instantly soared to new heights.

Luo Jingyan continued to dismantle the bamboo poles, collecting the pearls that rolled out of them. She observed them carefully and noticed that the pearls were not only lustrous and full-shaped, but also seemed to emit a special luster that ordinary pearls could not match.

She counted them; there were thirty-six pearls in total, eighteen white and eighteen pink.

She found a beautiful empty jewelry box on her dressing table and put the pearls inside to preserve them.

She shook the bamboo pole; there was something hidden inside. She carefully cut it open with the chainsaw, broke it apart, picked it up, and shook it. One end revealed a gold hairpin. She took the hairpin out and discovered that the other end was inlaid with jade. Gold inlaid with jade was a priceless piece of jewelry.

Later, she found two white jade hairpins and a crystal bracelet in the bamboo pole.

This was quite a haul. I wonder if Zhuang Feifei, with her protagonist aura, will still be able to find treasures at the junkyard.

In the evening, Luo Jingyan prepared to go to the cowshed. This time, she not only wanted to deliver some daily necessities to her parents, but also to ask for their opinions on her dating.

Although she hasn't decided to accept Xue Yanchen's offer yet, she knows that her body and hair are gifts from her parents, who have also raised and educated her. Those things belong to the original owner and also to her, so she must listen to her parents' opinions.

She walked outside the cowshed, took out several kilograms of rice and flour, a bag of potatoes, and carried them into the cowshed.

Mr. Luo took the things she was carrying: "Daughter, you're carrying so much stuff. Don't let anyone see it; it's not good for you."

"Dad, I'll be careful."

When Luo's mother saw Luo Jingyan arrive, she told her to take off her shoes and get into her own bed to warm up.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Luo Jingyan asked her parents, "Dad, Mom, if I were to start dating now, would you object?"

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Mr. and Mrs. Luo's faces froze instantly. They subconsciously glanced at each other, seemingly communicating with their eyes.

Someone is going to pursue their daughter. The girl they raised with such care and love is about to be snatched away by some wolf cub.

Mr. and Mrs. Luo were both heartbroken, but they also understood that it was only a matter of time before Luo Jingyan got married, and that she was old enough to find a partner.

They must respect their daughter's feelings; if she has a boy she likes, they cannot stop her.

So, both of them tried to calm themselves down.

Luo's mother said, "Jingyan, your parents will not stop you from dating. You're growing up and you'll get married sooner or later. If you can find a boy who knows how to take care of you and can bring you happiness, your parents will be happy for you."

Mrs. Luo's breathing was calm, as gentle as ever, while Mr. Luo squatted on the ground with a sullen face, unable to show a smile no matter what he did, even if he tried to fake it.

I wonder which brat has his eye on his daughter so early on. He's just asking for a beating!

Although he understood everything in his heart, he still couldn't accept the fact that his little darling was about to be snatched away by the wolf cub.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Jingyan said, "Since Dad doesn't agree, then I won't date him anymore. Anyway, I haven't agreed to be with him yet, and even if I did, we could break up. I'm not that old, so I'm not in a hurry."

Hearing his daughter's words, Mr. Luo felt a little better. Although his daughter had someone she liked, she still cared most about his thoughts.

This shows that the brat's status in his daughter's heart is nowhere near that of him.

He stood up, his expression softening considerably. He walked over to Luo Jingyan and her mother and said, "Jingyan, it's not that Dad is against you dating. A woman should marry when she's of age, and you're old enough to date. Dad won't stop you. Tell your parents where the young man is from, what he looks like, and what his character is like. Although your parents can't make all the decisions for you, we can help you make some recommendations and give you our opinions."

Mrs. Luo said, "Any young man our daughter can fancy must be quite good."

Luo Jingyan said, “Dad, Mom, because I haven’t told him about your situation, I can’t bring him over for you to meet yet. Let me tell you some details about him, how we met, and how our relationship developed. He’s actually from Beijing. He used to serve in the army, but he was discharged because he made a mistake. It was hard for him to find other jobs, so he came here as an educated youth. I met him once when I was in Beijing, but we didn’t talk. Later, Xiaotian and I saw him again on our way to the countryside. When we stayed at the hotel, I was worried that Xiaotian would be left without anyone to take care of him…”

After that, Luo Jingyan told her parents about what happened when she, Luo Changtian, and Xue Yanchen spent time together, as well as Xue Yanchen's height, appearance, and temperament.

Luo's mother said, "From what you've said, that young man seems like a good person, and his family is also good. It's not easy to find a young man like that." She took Luo Jingyan's hand and said, "Mom supports you. Anyway, dating isn't marriage. If you feel it's not right in the middle, you can still choose someone else. For now, I think it's him."

Mr. Luo said, "What my daughter said is pretty much true. I also think it's a good match. That boy is decent and has good character. My daughter won't be mistreated if she goes to his house. He's a good match for my daughter."

Luo Jingyan said, "I'm here today to discuss this with you. If you have any objections to this, I won't agree to date him. Since you think he's a good match, I'll observe his performance and consider whether to agree to date him. I want to tell him about your situation when I can completely trust him and decide to date him, is that okay?"
