After saying that, Grandma Shen seemed to realize something again. "No, no, it seems I wasn't sincere when I went to pray to the Bodhisattva this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, Jing Shu, you will come with me first thing in the morning."
"OK."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jingshu seemed to remember something, "But Mom, don't be too happy yet. Tian Tian said he's going to marry into Ningning's family!"
"So what if I marry into the family! I'm lucky to have such an excellent daughter-in-law as Ningning. What's wrong with marrying into the family? I'd be willing to marry into the family even if it meant being a maidservant in the dowry!"
Grandma Shen is a very open-minded person.
What's wrong with marrying into another family?
After marrying into the family, does that mean Shen Jingnian is no longer her son?
In the past, Grandma Shen was always worried that Shen Jingnian would never get married. Now that she has finally found the person she loves and the marriage proposal has been successful, she will not make a mistake at this time.
For Old Mrs. Shen, the idea of marrying into the family was not a problem at all.
Shen Jingshu was somewhat surprised, "Mom, you're actually so open-minded?"
"What's the big deal?" Grandma Shen said with a smile. "Anyway, he's not living at home now, so all I need is for Tian Tian to be able to bring Ning Ning home for a meal on the 15th and 30th of every month, just like before the wedding."
Shen Jingshu nodded. "That's true."
Grandma Shen continued, "It seems I need to start preparing for the wedding properly! I don't know if Ningning prefers a Western-style or a Chinese-style wedding."
After saying this, Old Mrs. Shen stopped dancing. "Butler, butler! Contact a few more wedding planning companies for me!"
Normally, weddings need to be prepared one year to six months in advance.
The last time the Shen family had a happy occasion was when Shen Jingshu and Yun Zhengyi got married, which was thirty years ago. Moreover, marrying off a daughter and taking in a wife are different. Old Mrs. Shen has to put in a lot of effort. She can't simplify the wedding ceremony just because her son is a live-in son-in-law.
“Mom, I’ll go with you!” Shen Jingshu immediately followed in Grandma Shen’s footsteps.
Seeing that Yun Haotian is also of marriageable age, she needs to learn from his experience.

The Shi family.
It was dinnertime, and the family of five were all sitting at the table eating.
Jiang Ning put down her chopsticks and looked at the group: "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom and Dad, I have something to discuss with you."
Shi Nanxing's hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
Oh no, oh no.
My little darling is about to be kidnapped.
Waaaaah.
discuss?
My granddaughter has always been a very steady and good child. Since she said she wanted to discuss it, it must be a big deal.
Hearing this, Grandma Shi looked at Jiang Ning and asked curiously, "What's going on, Sheng Bao? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Si Huashang continued, "Shengbao, is it about you and Xiao Shen?"
Si Huashang naturally knew about the huge commotion caused by Shen Jingnian's marriage proposal.
Most importantly, Si Huashang greatly admired this young man.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang immediately looked at Jiang Ning.
Like Si Huashang, he also liked Shen Jingnian very much.
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded slightly. "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Shen Jingnian and I have been dating for four years and our relationship is very stable, so I want to bring him back to meet you. What day of the week do you think would be suitable?"
Since Shen Jingnian has already proposed.
Then some things need to be put on the agenda.
Grandma Shi said with a smile, "That's great! Your grandfather and your parents have all met Chen Jingnian, but I haven't. Bring him back soon so Grandma can see what kind of little boy has captivated our Shengbao like this."
Men should marry when they are of age, and women should marry when they are of age.
As long as Shen Jingnian is someone you can entrust your life to, it's good to get married sooner rather than later. After all, your granddaughter has been dating him for so many years.
Furthermore...
Grandma Shi is just like all elders in the world; she also wants to hold her great-grandson as soon as possible and become a great-grandmother.
After saying that, Grandma Shi thought for a moment and then said, "How about next Saturday? Your parents will be home on Saturday. Hua Chang, Nan Xing, what do you two think about Saturday?"
Si Huashang nodded, "Sure."
Shi Nanxing's face remained expressionless. "I'm fine with it too."
“In addition, there is one more thing,” Jiang Ning looked at Grandma Shi, “Shen Jingnian said he is willing to marry into the family, and I would like to hear your, Grandpa’s, and my parents’ opinions.”
Shen Jingnian's statement that he was willing to marry into the family was not just empty talk.
He had discussed it seriously with Jiang Ning.
"Marry into the family?" Old Mrs. Shi was taken aback. "This isn't something that can be taken seriously just by talking. Will his mother agree to this?"
Grandma Shi felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Even if Shen Jingnian really agrees to marry into the family, will his family agree?
not to mention.
Shen Jingnian's older sister has already married, and currently, Shen Jingnian is the only male heir in the Shen family. Chinese people also place great importance on bloodlines and inheritance.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Aunt Shen is a very open-minded person, there are no problems on her side."
Shi Nanxing narrowed his eyes. "Shengbao, since Shen Jingnian and the Shen family are both willing to marry into the family, then let them!"
After finishing her meal, Si Huashang immediately told the news to Old Madam Si.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Si continued, "That's a big deal. I need to immediately inform Hua Wen, Hua Wu, and the other eight brothers! I need them all to come to the capital and give Sheng Bao their opinions."
“Mom, it’s too much trouble for you to travel back and forth. Nanxing and I have already discussed it. After Xiao Shen comes to our house, we will have Shengbao take him to Hong Kong to see you in person.”
"What's the trouble? Shengbao is my only granddaughter! What would happen if I didn't come? Anyway, it's still early, I'll go find some people right now!"
After saying that, Mrs. Si hung up the phone.
Si Huashang looked at the phone that had been hung up and shook her head helplessly. "Nanxing, look how impatient Mom is."
Shi Nanxing had his back to Si Huashang, seemingly engrossed in looking through something, and didn't respond to Si Huashang's words.
"Nanxing?"
Si Huashang called out again.
Shi Nanxing still did not react.
"What are you looking at so intently?" Si Huashang walked over curiously.
Shi Nanxing was looking at photos of Jiang Ning when she was a child.
These photos were all taken by Grandpa Jiang.
Back then, there were no cameras in the countryside, so the old man took Jiang Ning to the photo studio in town to have her picture taken.
Looking at these photos and recalling the years she had missed during her daughter's growth, Si Huashang's eyes reddened slightly. She instantly understood why Shi Nanxing had been in a bad mood ever since dinner.
“Nanxing, men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. Now that Shengbao has finally found a partner she can entrust her life to, we should be happy for her.”
“I know,” Shi Nanxing said, looking at Si Huashang. “I just can’t bear to part with Shengbao. She’s only been found for four years, and now she’s getting married…”
The thought of his daughter getting married soon made Shi Nanxing feel uneasy.
Si Huashang comforted him, "Even if Shengbao gets married, she's still our precious daughter! Besides, she's married in the capital, not abroad. If we miss her, we can visit her anytime, and she can come home anytime."
At this point, Si Huashang sat down next to Shi Nanxing. "Actually, I can tell that Xiao Shen is a really good kid. After Sheng Bao marries her, we won't lose anything. On the contrary, we'll have another son. What's wrong with that?"
"Don't overthink it."
Shi Nanxing nodded.
--
The next day at noon.
Jiang Ning invited Shen Jingnian to walk the dog together.
Upon meeting, Shen Jingnian couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Have Uncle and Aunt agreed to let me into the Shi family?"
