After a busy morning and eating dumplings, Lin Jinshui led a few people to the back mountain to pay respects at his grandparents' graves.
Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia originally planned to avoid the situation, but before they drove away, Lin Jinshui said something.
"Where are the sunset and the man in blue?"
This touched both of them.
At this moment, Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia finally felt a sense of belonging. They also realized that Lin Yifeng and his family truly regarded them as family, regardless of blood ties.
While burning paper money on the back hill, Lin Jinshui held a wine cup and kept muttering in front of the grave.
"Dad, your grandson has made something of himself."
"Our Lin family has become quite prominent."
"Now, life in our Stone Village is getting better."
“Wanxia, Qingyi, come here. This is your grandfather. He was a bandit when he was young and fought against the Japanese.”
Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia felt a lump in their throats and knelt down in front of the grave.
This marks their first time recognizing their ancestors this year, officially joining the Lin family's genealogy.
Lin Yifeng, who had just finished kowtowing, also took a deep breath and looked at the distant mountains.
The Lin family has a history of nearly a hundred years, up to his generation. Only his generation has finally been able to leave the mountains and make a real difference.
Looking at the continuous morning mist, Lin Yifeng couldn't help but sigh.
"Hello, 1994".
After finishing all that and returning home, Bai Yejin had already packed her luggage. Feng Cuie stuffed all the big and small items into Bai Yejin's hands so that she could take things home for the New Year.
Especially with the engagements about to take place on both sides, Feng Cuie, as a mother, felt somewhat uneasy.
Bai Yejin was still muttering to herself before she left.
"I wonder if your family would even be interested in my good-for-nothing son."
Bai Yejin couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Let alone whether they like it or not, their families are practically hoping they'll get married right away.
After tidying up, Lin Yifeng handed the school keys to Xu Qingyi before leaving, asking him to go to the school to set off firecrackers and tidy up a bit, and then drove to Bai Yejin's house.
For this trip, Lin Yifeng even drove Xu Qingyi's Crown, just to give Bai Yejin's family a presentable appearance.
When passing through the county town, Lin Yifeng bought a lot of meat, eggs, milk and gifts, and then drove straight to Siyao Town.
This was Lin Yifeng's second year of visiting Lin Yifeng, and he was well-prepared this time.
As soon as I entered the village, I tasted the same familiar recipe and flavor.
An old man at the door kept shouting in the direction of Bai Yejin's house.
"Old White Head!"
"Your son-in-law is back!"
"Get ready quickly!"
Lin Yifeng suspected that the old man at the gate might have been bribed by Bai Zhanguo, so that he would tip off the old man as soon as he entered the village.
When Lin Yifeng passed by, he specially gave the old man a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and said "Happy New Year," which made the old man very happy.
When they arrived home, Bai Yejin's parents had been waiting for them for a long time.
When they learned that Bai Yejin wouldn't be coming back for the New Year this year, they guessed that the young couple were planning to take things further.
Upon entering the house, he was immediately served fine tea and wine, which delighted Lin Yifeng immensely.
After lunch, once things were almost done...
Bai Zhanguo smoked a cigarette, while Bai Yejin's mother kept glancing at the two sitting together. The atmosphere in the room began to become a little strange. Although they were silent, they both knew what to say.
Lin Yifeng was also prepared, and coughed lightly.
"Uncle, Aunt, I've come here mainly to talk about the future."
"Xiao Jin and I have been together for more than two years."
"I reckon it's time for us to..."
Before Lin Yifeng could finish speaking, Bai Zhanguo repeatedly agreed.
"Okay, okay!"
I agree!
"Honey, you agree too, right?"
Bai Yejin's mother wiped away her tears, also weeping with joy.
"I agree, I agree."
"As long as my little Jin is happy."
This scene completely baffled Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin.
Especially Lin Yifeng.
He hadn't even finished speaking when they agreed. That was a bit too sudden.
Bai Yejin frowned and complained when she saw that her parents had agreed so quickly.
"dad!"
"mom!"
"Wait until Yifeng finishes speaking!"
Bai Zhanguo looked displeased and reprimanded him sternly.
"What do you mean, 'finished'?"
"What? Yifeng is such a good boy. It would be a blessing for our family if you married into another family."
"What, aren't you getting married yet!"
These words really stung Bai Yejin, who could only mutter under her breath.
"I didn't say I wouldn't get married. Doesn't this make me feel like you're all eager to marry me off as soon as possible?"
Lin Yifeng looked at this family and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But he soon got down to business.
"That's right, Uncle and Aunt."
"We plan to get engaged first, and then get married after we graduate from university."
"The main reason is that we're going to university this year, and getting married before university is too much trouble."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yejin's parents were completely stunned.
Bai Zhanguo didn't even ask about the three gold pieces of betrothal gifts; he went straight to asking Lin Yifeng.
"Your business hasn't been doing well this year, so it's inconvenient for you?"
"No, business is going quite normally."
"Then, should we still consider things at home?"
"Well, no, my family really wants us to get married."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set a good date, meet each other, get married soon, and have children as soon as possible. We're still hoping to hold our grandchildren!"
Bai Zhanguo grinned from ear to ear, constantly urging Lin Yifeng to get married soon.
This left Lin Yifeng speechless.
Why are both sides in such a hurry these days?
Bai Yejin hurriedly reminded Bai Zhanguo.
"Dad! Didn't we already say that it's not too late for us to get married after we finish college?"
"Oh my god! I finished college, I finished college, and look at my brain now."
Bai Zhanguo slapped his forehead, looking as if he had just realized something. He hadn't listened to a word of what they were saying; he had been thinking about when the two sides would set a date.
Bai Yejin's mother, however, asked Lin Yifeng in a mysterious manner.
"Yifeng, is there a conflict between going to university and getting married?"
"There's no conflict... right?"
"Will that delay having children?"
"this……"
This completely stumped Lin Yifeng.
Bai Yejin's face flushed red, and she complained again.
"mom!"
"Why would I have children when I was studying!"
