Hearing this, if you look carefully, you will find that the redness at the roots of Shen Yuandao's ears spreads all the way to his neck.
Shen Yuandao's face was calm, and he said lightly, "Yes, I will."
After saying that, he walked towards Su Xinzhang.
Su Xinzhang saw it and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you here to accompany your grandparents?"
Shen Yuandao picked up the axe next to him, “Uncle Su, let me help you.”
Su Xinzhang's eyes lit up. He asked him to see how strong this brat was. "Come on. Chop some wood for me."
I've tried all kinds of tricks to make things difficult for him recently, but this kid has avoided them all. Let me try this today.
Shen Yuandao said nothing, but picked up the axe and started chopping.
Su Xinzhang's eyes widened as he watched, then he nodded, praising him in his heart: "Well, he has a lot of strength. This guy is okay, just barely worthy of my daughter!"
Seeing that he had almost finished chopping wood, Su Xinzhang interrupted him and said, "That's enough. That's all we need to chop today."
Shen Yuandao nodded when he heard this. He stopped what he was doing and said, "Okay, uncle, I'll come and help you chop firewood tomorrow."
Su Xinzhang nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
Su Xinzhang found a place to sit down and waved to Shen Yuandao, "Come and sit."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuandao walked over to Su Xinzhang and sat down, listening to him obediently.
Old Mrs. Shen and others were peeking in the kitchen, and they all smiled with joy when they saw this.
Old Mrs. Shen is so happy that her future granddaughter-in-law is about to come!
Su Xinzhang ignored the people peeking from behind and asked to himself, "What are your plans?"
Shen Yuandao sat aside, sitting upright, with his fists clenched on his knees. Then he clenched his fists to cheer himself up.
He took a deep breath before saying, "My family only has two children, my eldest brother and I. My eldest brother is not married, and after we got married, Mianmian and I lived in the countryside and could not see our parents, so there was no sister-in-law relationship or mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship. Besides, my parents are very satisfied with Mianmian."
Su Xinzhang nodded and said, "Go on."
Shen Yuandao swallowed and tried to make his voice sound more stable.
"I'm thinking of having the wedding banquet first, and then getting the marriage certificate when Mianmian turns eighteen. As for the betrothal gift, it's eight hundred and eighty yuan, plus three turns and one ring. If you and Auntie feel that the betrothal gift is not enough, you can add more."
At this point, Shen Yuandao's face flushed, and then he continued, "Then, if we want to hold a banquet, my parents will need to come over to help us plan it. When the time comes, you and your aunt will have time to meet my parents."
"By the way, I've already thought of a place to live. I need to build a new yard. I've been talking to the team leader these days to get him to approve the land for me. As for Ah Yan, don't worry. Mian Mian and I will take him in to live with us."
"Also...Also, we hand over all our wages, go home every day to be with our wives, and don't mess around."
After saying this, he clenched his fist again and waited quietly for Su Xinzhang to speak.
Su Xinzhang nodded and said gently, "What you're thinking is all very good. I have nothing to add. The life you two want to live is up to you two, and we as parents won't interfere too much. As long as Mianmian likes you, her mother and I won't stop you."
Shen Yuandao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, uncle."
Su Xinzhang sighed, his thoughts drifting away as he recalled the past.
"I remember when Mianmian was born she was such a small little ball, so cute. I didn't expect her to grow so big in the blink of an eye. She must have worked so hard over the past year."
His eyes welled up slightly as he spoke, his voice trembling slightly. "My husband and I were reported and sent down here, leaving her alone to take care of my younger brother and constantly watch over the two of us. I feel so guilty!"
Su Xinzhang paused for a moment, he patted Shen Yuandao's shoulder, "From now on, I will hand my daughter over to you, you treat her well, if one day you find that she is not as good as you imagined, or your feelings for her have changed.
I hope you can tell me honestly and send her back home safe and sound. This will always be her safe haven.”
Shen Yuandao shook his head, "Uncle, I won't. I will treat Mianmian well."
Su Xinzhang nodded and said, "I hope you can be responsible for what you said today."
Su Xinzhang patted his shoulder again and said, "Okay, let's meet your parents when they come. It would be a pity if we can't attend the banquet." After that, he went into the house.
Leaving Shen Yuandao sitting there alone, Old Lady Shen couldn't wait to run out.
"Well done, I got my granddaughter-in-law!"
Old Master Shen also looked happy, "You little brat, you're really good. You have the same demeanor as your grandfather did back then."
Mrs. Shen twitched her lips after hearing this. "You? Wasn't it me who chased you back then? Now that I think about it, how could I have fallen for a young man like you?"
Mr. Shen was not angry. Instead, he smiled good-temperedly, "What's wrong with being a fool? Aren't you still chasing me and wanting to marry me?"
Old Mrs. Shen snorted coldly and said nothing.
Shen Yuandao looked at the sky and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'll go back first. I'll call my parents tomorrow and ask them to come over."
Old Madam Shen said solemnly, "Yes, although we have all been demoted, we must still be polite. We can't let Miss Mian think that we don't value her."
Old Master Shen took over the conversation and instructed, "Yeah, that's right, ask your parents to come over. You two young kids don't know anything."
"Okay, I get it, Grandpa and Grandma. I'll go back first."
Shen Yuandao nodded, waved to the two old men, and turned to leave the cowshed.
Shen Yuandao quickly returned to the Yun family and shouted as soon as he entered the door, “Mianmian, uncle and aunt agreed!”
Su Mianmian was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Su Qingqing was already shaking Su Mianmian's arm excitedly.
"Mianmian, my uncle and aunt agree! You're getting married!"
"Shh, shh, what are you doing? What are you doing?" Su Mianmian pulled the excited Su Qingqing.
"I'm happy for you."
Little Ayan grabbed the excited Su Qingqing and covered her mouth. "No! Don't be happy!"
The little guy sat in Su Mianmian's arms and muttered to himself: "Mom and Dad are not reliable at all! Humph!"
Shen Yuandao smiled helplessly when he heard what Xiao Ayan said. After he dealt with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, it would be much easier to deal with his brother-in-law.
Shen Yuandao took little Ayan from Su Mianmian's arms and said, "Why don't you agree? Brother Ayuan and your sister will take you over. You and your sister are still a family, but with Brother Ayuan."
When little Ayan heard him say that, his eyes lit up. "That's not impossible, but... Naitang and Huihui also have to follow Ayan and big sister."
Shen Yuandao nodded, "Okay, listen to our little Ayan. Is there anything else you want? Brother Ayuan has gathered them all for you!"
Little Ayan nestled in Shen Yuandao's arms and thought carefully, "No more, don't leave Ayan behind! Ayan is more important than Naitang and Huihui."
