After his initial excitement subsided, Lin Jingyan quickly asked, "When should I go to your house to propose? Is tomorrow alright?"

Upon hearing this, Su He instantly snapped out of her excitement. "Too fast! I haven't told my family yet, and they weren't prepared. Maybe next time."

"Alright then." Lin Jingyan was somewhat disappointed, but he still agreed.

To prevent him from having any further thoughts, Su He quickly waved goodbye to him.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after the bus drove away and Lin Jingyan was no longer in sight.

It was at this moment that she felt somewhat uneasy and annoyed.

How could she not resist the temptation and agree? Sigh, she's only eighteen. Is she really going to get married?

Then I thought of Lin Jingyan's appearance, and he seemed pretty good too?

For some reason, a hint of longing appeared in my eyes.

...

Upon returning home this time, unsurprisingly, her family once again asked her about her relationship with Lin Jingyan and whether she had any plans to get married.

Su He listened helplessly for a while, but still told him their plan, "I've already made a promise with him, he will come to propose marriage next holiday."

"What? You're proposing marriage next time?"

Grandma Su was overjoyed to hear this.

"Great! You've finally figured it out!"

Without waiting for her reply, he continued, "But there are only ten days left, so we need to make proper preparations at home."

He immediately started arranging for his family to do chores.

"Boss, hurry up and dismantle the chicken coop in the front yard. The smell at the gate is strong and it's not a good thing. Put it in the vegetable garden in the back yard for now, and we'll talk about it later."

"Second brother, go help. The vegetable garden hasn't been planted yet, so it won't be affected."

"Third brother, go out and ask around in the village to see if anyone sells chickens. Buy one when you have time. We've used up all the chickens we raised for your wife during her postpartum period!"

Then it was time for the daughters-in-law and children. "You all need to keep yourselves busy. You need to clean the house inside and out. We can't let our in-laws find it distasteful."

The Su family was overjoyed. They never imagined they would one day have a relative who was an official, and an official in the capital at that. This was far more impressive than Su Zhi and his father-in-law!

So they all perked up and began to complete the task.

The speed of the action left Su He speechless.

After realizing what was happening, she felt a little helpless and quickly stopped her, saying, "Grandma, there's no rush. There's still a long time before the next holiday."

But Grandma Su continued to do things her own way.

"Grandma knows, but our countryside is different from the city. Our in-laws are all city people, and we don't know if they will look down on us. If we prepare in advance, we can always find out what we haven't prepared enough, and we will have time to make changes. If we wait until we arrive to prepare, it will be too late."

Su He felt a little sad after hearing this, but she was more touched. She knew that her family was doing it for her own good, afraid that she would be looked down upon by the Lin family. There was not much they could do, but they could only try their best.

So after thinking about it, she decided not to stop them. She simply refused Grandma Su's suggestion to make her new clothes and didn't ask them to prepare too much food that day, just enough.

“Lin Jingyan already knows about our family situation. Since he doesn’t mind, there’s no need to pretend to be rich. Let’s just make some simple country dishes. I’ll buy some pork and kill a chicken later, so it will be quite a feast.”

Grandma Su agreed when she saw that Su He insisted. But even so, the Su family was still very busy that day. If Su He hadn't tried her best to stop them, they probably would have painted all the walls of the house again.

I don't know where all this trouble came from.
