Chapter 213 The World After Rewinding 9
Ning Yan glanced at him but didn't ask any more questions. Then Shi Xiaofeng dragged her around taking all sorts of photos and posting them on his WeChat Moments. He didn't even spare the 83 Weibo accounts he followed, posting photos of him and Ning Yan wearing rings and their hands entwined.
Shi Xiaofeng's friends all recommended some friends to him and even asked him to bring his girlfriend along. Ning Yan went out with Shi Xiaofeng to meet his friends twice, but then she stayed in her apartment again and didn't go anywhere else.
Ning Yan felt no need to go out, while Shi Xiaofeng was somewhat averse to socializing due to his illness. He didn't feel uncomfortable even if he didn't leave the house for a month or two, and he was even more satisfied with Ning Yan for not going out to socialize.
The Shi family was worried about their second son, so they would send people over every few days to deliver things. Sometimes it was precious ingredients, sometimes it was rare fruits, and sometimes Miao Lan would even send Ning Yan a lot of clothes. In short, the two of them lived a very comfortable life.
...
As December arrived, Ning Peng finished his exams and was on holiday, and the Ning family finally came to S City.
At 3 p.m., Shi Xiaofeng and Ning Yan went to the train station to pick someone up. When they returned to their apartment, Shi Xiaofeng went into the kitchen to help the housekeeper.
Ning's mother glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then praised her daughter, "You've got better eyesight this time. Xiaofeng is clearly better than Yang Weiqiang."
I remember the first time I went to their house, I was carrying a lot of things, and that kid didn't even have the sense to stand there and watch, even though I was the one carrying those bags.
Look at Xiaofeng! He took the luggage right away, his attitude was good, he spoke gently, and he can even cook. I've got my eye on this son-in-law.
"What can he do? He can't cook, so he's helping out in the kitchen."
"It's good to be an assistant! Besides, the other child is well-off and can afford to hire servants and cooks, so he doesn't need to cook himself. Thinking about it this way, the child's character is even more commendable."
Ning Peng chimed in, "Sis, your husband looks so young. Are you trying to seduce a minor?"
Ning Yan reached out and shoved the brat away, "Go away, go away, can't you speak properly! We're classmates, how could he be a minor? He's only a year younger than me."
Ning Peng breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved. I thought you tricked my brother-in-law into coming back. It's good that you didn't."
Ning Yan wanted to hit someone!
Forget it, I won't stoop to his level.
"You and Dad should rest well today. We'll definitely have a meal with the Shi family tomorrow."
Ning's father has a typical square face and doesn't smile much, so he looks rather serious. "Are they in such a hurry? I hope their family isn't trying to pressure you two into getting married?"
"He won't reach the legal marriage age until next year, so there's no use urging him."
Ning's father actually wanted his daughter to go back to her hometown to find a job. She had good grades when she was in school, and it would be easier for her to find a boyfriend if she went back to her hometown to take the civil service exam. But she found another boyfriend right after breaking up with Yang Wei, which left him speechless.
"Is Dad reluctant to part with me?"
Ning's father didn't say anything. What father would be willing to let his daughter get married so early? If she marries well, that's fine, but if she marries poorly, she'll suffer all sorts of hardships.
His home is so far from S City, even if he wanted to support his daughter, he couldn't.
Ning Yan proudly took a red booklet from the drawer under the coffee table and handed it to her father, saying, "Open it and take a look."
Even without opening it, Ning's dad knew what it was, because it had the words "Property Certificate" written on it in big letters!
Ning's father quickly opened the property certificate and saw that the address on the certificate was exactly the floor below Shi Xiaofeng's apartment, with the same area of 169 square meters.
Household head's name: Ning Yan.
"Where did you get the money to buy a house?"
Ning Yan said proudly, "I made it by investing in stocks."
"Impossible! Your mother only gave you a few hundred thousand yuan. No matter how capable you are, you can't earn enough for an apartment in S City in such a short time!"
Ning Yan: "Oh, besides the tens of thousands, I also borrowed some from Xiaofeng."
"How much did you borrow?"
"Not much, just over 80 million."
The Ning family of three fell silent.
“When you get back, take care of things at home and transfer Xiaopeng’s school registration. Your parents don’t have formal jobs, so you can just quit. You can do whatever you want in the future, or just rest if you don’t want to. I’ll support you.”
Her father works as a gatekeeper at an iron mine near their home, earning just over three thousand yuan a month. Her mother works as a cook for wedding and funeral ceremonies, with work when there's nothing to do and rest when there isn't. The family also has a few acres of land, and raising two children is quite hard work.
Ning Peng: "Sis, tell me the truth, how much have you actually made from stocks? If you can really make money, why don't you just let Mom and Dad give you all the family savings to manage? Maybe you can earn more than they do from their jobs."
Ning Yan crossed her legs and swung them around. "A return of about seventeen percent, otherwise how could I buy a house in such a short time?"
At this moment, not only Ning Peng, but also Ning's parents were deeply moved.
Who wouldn't want to move from the countryside to the city, especially to a first-tier city like S City?
Ning Yan then took the family of three downstairs for a look. "It's the same size as upstairs, also three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. This place was only handed over four years ago, and it's fully furnished. If Mom doesn't like it, we can redecorate it."
Unlike the minimalist style upstairs, the downstairs style is cozy, which Ning's mother liked at first sight.
"No need, no need, it's fine as it is."
Ning Yan said, "I've added some bedding inside. You'll be staying here for the next few days. I'll buy anything else you need."
Ning Peng's eyes lit up immediately; living in his own house was much better than living at his brother-in-law's.
"Then I'll go pick a room!"
Ning's father: "What's the point of picking? The one on the north side is yours."
The master bedroom is for their daughter, and the second bedroom is for the couple. The room on the north side isn't much smaller, but it's shady.
Ning Peng: "Sure, I have no objection!"
Having a private room is already a good thing, why are you being picky?
Then his parents would definitely let him taste what bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork tastes like.
After waiting downstairs for a while, Shi Xiaofeng came to call everyone, saying that dinner was ready.
The family of five went back upstairs. Shi Xiaofeng was still very uneasy, afraid that his future in-laws would not like him.
"Xiaofeng, you don't need to be so reserved. We don't object to Yanyan and your relationship. Just don't find her troublesome."
Ning Yan: "Mom~"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Isn't this just giving Xiaofeng a heads-up?"
You've always been a handful since you were little, loved good food and clothes, and hated doing chores, especially housework. Most people couldn't stand your temper!
Ning's mother was absolutely sincere in saying this, to prepare her future son-in-law so that he wouldn't expect her daughter to marry him and become a nanny, as she couldn't do that.
Shi Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Auntie, I do all the housework in our family. After we get married, we will go back to the old house to live. We have servants at home, so Yanyan only needs to stay by my side."
Furthermore, you two don't need to worry about me lying. From now on, we'll live upstairs and downstairs. If I speak loudly, you two will hear me. If I do something wrong, you two can come up and spank me; I won't resist."
