"I want to go see my aunt."
"Go out and play for a while. We'll talk to your dad about something, and then we'll go find your aunt together."
Yan Qi went out obediently.
"Is Chunxiao really in trouble?" Yan Dashan asked again.
"It's not Chunxiao who's in trouble, it's your daughter." Yan Bingfa pursed his lips, "You know that Yang Huaitian, right? He came with us this time. He's here to propose to Shufeng."
Yan Dashan was stunned for a moment, "Propose marriage?"
"Yeah, I've been waiting for you for two days. Hurry up and get the charter. What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Yan Dashan looked at Yan Bangfa with a bitter face, "Dad, what kind of rules can I have? I just came back and you're doing this to me. I know Huaitian, he's a down-to-earth kid, but he's not from our place." He looked at Tian, "Don't you want your daughter to marry far away?"
Tian was also quite helpless. "I wanted to find an honest and decent man in the village or nearby, but your daughter likes him, and the boy said he wanted to settle down in our village and settle down in Yanjia Village in the future. He said so, and mother and younger sister also said he is a good person, so naturally I have no objection."
"Want to settle down in our village?" Yan Bingfa was surprised at first, but then he smiled. "Since you all have no objections, and he's willing to settle down here, I naturally have no objection. So, is this a possibility?"
"You agree just like that?" Tian didn't expect it to be so simple.
"What else can we do? It's not the first time you've met him. You already said your daughter agrees, and mother and Chunxiao agree. Shufeng is already old enough, so it's better to get engaged sooner rather than later."
"Then there must be some rules for the betrothal gifts. We can't just casually arrange Shufeng's wedding."
"We'll talk about this later. But if he wants to settle down here, this should be done earlier. The house needs to be renovated first."
"That's what I thought. Go find the village head tomorrow and pick out a piece of land for them. It's important to start building the houses quickly. Oh, and the matter of the Yanqi Academy has been settled."
"It's done. We spent some money. They'll be packing up and moving in in a few days."
"Which school is it and what kind of teacher is it?" Tian asked.
"The director is a juren, and the teachers under him are all experienced scholars who have taught for many years. They have a very good reputation in the county, so you can rest assured."
Yan Dashan and Yan Qi had dinner and then went to the end of the village with their parents.
Xiaohua was catching bugs in the field with Yangxue. From time to time, Yangxue could be heard screaming, "Don't put the bugs on my sleeves. It will crawl into my clothes and it will be disgusting."
"What's disgusting about it? You're not afraid of bugs."
"I'm not afraid and I don't like putting it on my clothes. If you do it again, I'll tell my aunt."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
The villagers nearby laughed and said, "Little Flower, you'd better catch them quickly. These insects eat the leaves. If you don't catch them well, the cotton harvest will be bad."
"That's right, that's right."
Yang Huaitian was setting up a shed with Wangzu. Chunxiao wanted to set up a shed in the yard outside so that when the weather was hot, the farmhands could sit inside and drink tea without having to run back to the yard so far.
"Brother, you are back?" Chunxiao saw them from a distance. Yang Huaitian's hand suddenly trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the bamboo, which scared Wangzu next to him.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's build a shed to avoid the sun." Chunxiao looked at Yang Huaitian and Wang Zu. "My eldest brother and the others are here. Let's build the shed later. Let's go back to the house first."
Wang Zu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll go straight to the fields after I finish this bundle. By the way, Chunxiao, my parents told you to come to our house for dinner when you're free. You didn't come home for the New Year, so we had a wedding."
"I understand, Brother Wangzu. I'll go when I have time."
The family returned to the yard.
Yang Huaitian sat next to Chunxiao and called out "Uncle!"
Yan Qi looked at him curiously, "You want to marry my sister?" He had heard what the adults said on the way here. He had a lot of questions about this future brother-in-law. How come his sister went out for a year and came back with a brother-in-law?
Yang Huaitian looked at him and smiled. "My name is Yang Huaitian, and you must be Xiaoqi, right? You're really amazing. I heard you passed the entrance exam as a student when I got here. I've prepared a gift for you, and I'll give it to you later."
Yan Qi felt a little embarrassed when he heard him praise him for passing the exam. "It's nothing to worry about. There are many people who pass the exam. Hard work will always lead to success." He stared at Yang Huaitian and asked, "How do you know my sister?"
Tian found the look on Yan Qi's face amusing. "Alright, we have some serious business to discuss. Go find your sister in the back. Hurry up."
Every time the adults had something to say, they would send him away. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to say, "When I grow up, I want to participate in family affairs." After saying this, he ran away.
"This child, he feels that he wants to be the pillar of the family when he grows up!" Zhou was amused and turned to look at Yang Huaitian, "Your uncle came back today, and we told him about your situation. You can marry Shufeng, but we have a few conditions."
When Yang Huaitian heard this, he rubbed his hands happily and said, "Grandma, please tell me what the conditions are. I will definitely do my best to fulfill them."
Zhou and Tian exchanged a glance. Tian glanced at Tian Dashan, and Zhou quickly turned to Dashan, "Dashan, you're the father, so you can tell me the conditions yourself."
Tian Dashan glanced at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Yang Huaitian. "It's a bit sudden that you came to propose marriage, but since no one objects, I have no reason to object either. I only have this one daughter. Although our family had a hard time in the past, our children have never suffered much hardship, and now it's even more so. If you want to marry her, you must treat her well for the rest of your life. Don't even think about having three wives and four concubines."
