"Ningning..." Xie Ting'an's gaze fell on Xu Jinning first, his eyes filled with tenderness and longing.
No one knows how painful this period of separation was for Xie Ting'an.
It was fine before he found Xu Jinning. At that time, Xie Ting'an lived in a daze. It was not until he hugged Xu Jinning at the gate of the small courtyard that Xie Ting'an felt that after traveling through time, his life and living finally came alive, and everything became meaningful to Xie Ting'an.
So after finding Xu Jinning, the longing for separation again was tormenting for Xie Tingan.
Otherwise, even if he traveled through time after death and got another chance to live, it would be meaningless for Xie Ting'an.
Perhaps in this way, some people will say that Xie Ting'an is a love-brained person, pinning all the hopes and meaning of life on another person, which is not feasible.
This is indeed true. If it were anyone else, it would be wrong.
But for Xie Ting'an, their fates began to be entangled from the moment he, who was a child in his previous life, met Xu Jinning, who was also a child.
Xie Ting'an is also somewhat paranoid in her bones. Xu Jinning belongs to her, and he also belongs to Xu Jinning.
Only he knew how wonderful Xu Jinning was, so if that person was Xu Jinning, he was willing to fall in love and be willing to pin everything on her.
However, Xie Ting'an did not tell Xu Jinning about this paranoia, nor did he dare let her find out, for fear of scaring her.
"You're here." Xu Jinning was undoubtedly happy to see Xie Ting'an.
She trotted to Xie Tingan with a smile on her face.
If Xu Jinning had not been concerned about the large number of people around, she might have hugged him at this time. However, although she did not hug him, she also held Xie Tingan's hands with both of hers, and love flowed between the two as they looked at each other.
"By the way, where is grandpa?" Xu Jinning asked.
"There." As he said that, Xie Ting'an took Xu Jinning to the back seat and opened the door.
Xu Jinning immediately saw Grandpa Xie sitting inside.
"Ningning girl, we meet again." Grandpa Xie greeted Xu Jinning with a smile.
"Grandpa Xie, you've worked hard all the way here." Xu Jinning and Xie Ting'an helped the old man get off the car. Grandpa Xie is already over 80 years old. It was really hard for him to get here from Beijing by car after a bumpy ride.
She could see visible fatigue between Grandpa Xie's brows.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I'm so happy to see you meet my future granddaughter-in-law and in-laws." Grandpa Xie got out of the car and patted the back of Xu Jinning's hand gently with his wrinkled hands to comfort her.
After he stood firmly, he looked around and his eyes lit up.
"This Qinghe Production Team is a great place with beautiful mountains and rivers."
"That's right, old man. Our Qinghe Production Team is not only a good place, but also has good people." Grandpa Xie's emotion was echoed by the surrounding villagers.
Grandpa Xie laughed, "Yes, yes, the place is great and the people are even better."
Although Grandpa Xie had a very high status before, he was a very easy-going and cheerful person with a gentle face, which made him easy to get close to.
Now, I’m chatting with the villagers.
If you don’t know, you would think they have known each other for a long time.
"Old man, you are from Beijing. What are you doing here?" the villagers asked.
"I'm here to propose marriage to Ningning from the Xu family for my grandson."
"I'm here to propose marriage."
"It's still Ningning."
"A talented man and a beautiful woman!"
"Yes, a talented man and a beautiful woman. It is a great blessing to marry Ningning."
Be it Grandpa Xie, Xie Ting'an, or Xu Jinning, the Xu family were all very happy to hear this.
In particular, not only the person who spoke agreed with this statement, but after she finished speaking, all the villagers present nodded in unison.
Grandpa Xie also saw how good the image of his future granddaughter-in-law was in the hearts of the villagers.
Of course, he also knew that Xu Jinning was a good person.
Although he is old, his eyes are sharp and he even has a wisdom that others do not have.
So he knew that Ningning was no ordinary girl.
"That's right. I also think that it will be a great blessing for my grandson to marry Ningning in the future. It is also a blessing for our Xie family to have Ningning as the future mistress of the family. So, we are here to propose marriage."

After saying that, Grandpa Xie looked at the Xu family members who had already come out, and his eyes fell on Xu Aiguo and Zhang Ailian.
"Hello, future in-laws."
"Hello, old leader, hello..."
"Haha, you don't have to call me old leader. I've already retired. You can just call me Uncle Xie."
"Okay, thanks uncle."
The two families exchanged greetings. Xu Aiguo and Zhang Ailian, who were originally a little nervous, immediately became less nervous after seeing such a amiable Grandpa Xie.
Soon, Grandpa Xie was also welcomed in by the Xu family.
"Why are there three cars?" Xu Jinning turned sideways and asked Xie Ting'an.
"My grandfather and I were in the first car, and the second car held the betrothal gifts and the three turns and one bell of that era. This was my grandfather's request." Xie Ting'an knew that the three turns and one bell might not be very attractive to Xu Jinning, but for people of that era, when a man proposed marriage, with the three turns and one bell, it showed great sincerity and could also represent the man's family background and how much he valued the woman.
Therefore, Xie Ting'an did not object.
"The last car contains my eldest brother's books and fruit seedlings."
"Don't worry, after unloading the stuff later, the two cars behind will go back first."
"good."
Looking at the number of people coming out of the village, you can understand how great an impact these three vehicles, especially the three jeeps, have on them who may have only seen police cars in their lives.
If possible, Xu Jinning would not want to attract so much attention.
She thought that if these three cars continued to stay there, perhaps a little later, not only the villagers of Qinghe Production Team would be curious, but people from other production teams nearby might also come to watch the fun.
"Thank you for your hard work in carrying these things all the way here from Beijing." Xu Jinning knew that the journey was long and bumpy, and he felt a little distressed for Xie Ting'an and Grandpa Xie who came specially.
Xie Ting'an reached out and touched her hair and said, "I'm fine, it's just that grandpa may need to rest for a while." After all, he is old.
"Yeah, I know."
Grandpa Xie and Xie Ting'an, who entered the house, quickly enjoyed the delicious food cooked by Zhang Ailian herself.
