"Boss, when will my sister-in-law come back from town?"

"Sister Fang said she wanted to have a meal in town and come back before dark."

Before Lu Chaoli could speak, Hu Zi, who knew the inside story, spoke first.

Yesterday, Hu Zi informed Xiao Fang of their plan for today in advance and asked Xiao Fang to help cooperate. Xiao Fang had discussed with Xu Yuanyuan and Jiang Li a few days ago to find time to go to the town together. Now was a good time to bring up this matter without arousing Jiang Li's suspicion.

"There's still a long time before dark. Why don't we come back later and light some candles from home when we get here? My wife said this will create a better atmosphere."

Zhao Congwen suggested.

Tiezhu nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go home and have a meal while it's still light, and save our energy to witness the eldest brother's proposal to his sister-in-law in the evening!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Boss, what are you going to say to your sister-in-law?"

Hu Zi approached Lu Chaoli with a gossipy look on his face, intending to learn from him. After he had learned it, he would also tell Sister Fang!

Lu Chaoli scratched his head and said, "I haven't figured out what to say to Xiao Jiang yet. I'll think about it later."

Even the proposal was suggested by Xu Yuanyuan. Lu Chaoli just wanted to give Jiang Li a sense of ceremony, so they immediately agreed to propose today. As for what to say to Jiang Li, he really hadn't thought about it yet.

"Anyway, there's still some time before my sister-in-law comes back, which is enough time for the boss to think about it!"

"That's right, I'll wait till tonight to see what the boss can come up with in the next half day!"

Zhao Congwen looked so expectant that if you didn't know him, you would have thought he was the one being proposed to.

When Lu Chaoli thought about a bunch of people listening to his whispers with Xiao Jiang, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he quickly warned his brothers: "I'm warning you, don't follow us later, do you hear me?"

Tiezhu and Huzi looked at each other. Is the boss shy? ?

Under Lu Chaoli's warning look, the few of them had no choice but to nod.

After returning home and having a meal, Lu Chaoli came to school with a dozen candles, placed the candles on the ground and waited for the sun to set.

Originally Lu Chaoli arrived early enough, but unexpectedly Tiezhu and others arrived even earlier than him.

Now several people were hiding in the next classroom waiting for Jiang Li to come back. How could such an important matter as the eldest brother proposing to his sister-in-law be possible without the presence of these brothers? ! As everyone waited, the sun gradually set in the west.

As the sun set, Lu Chaoli's heart began to beat rapidly. Thinking about proposing to Jiang Li soon, Lu Chaoli felt nervous and expectant.

Time passed little by little, and the voices of Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan were heard outside the school gate.

"The town is quite lively. Let's go there when we have time!"

Xu Yuanyuan came back carrying two big bags, and she was still thinking about the countless delicious foods in the town.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Okay, okay, when you want to go, tell me, I'll be there anytime."

The two of them pushed open the school gate while talking and laughing, and the classroom with candles lit soon attracted Jiang Li's attention.

"Is there anyone coming to school?"

After the incident with Zhou Guoqing, Jiang Li instantly became alert and made a gesture to Xu Yuanyuan to keep quiet.

Xu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, and after seeing the lit candle, she sighed in her heart: Comrade Xiao Lu is doing it quite realistically, he is really a teachable person!

Xu Yuanyuan hid the smile in her eyes and nodded: "Okay, Xiao Jiang, be careful, come and give me the things."

Xu Yuanyuan took the things from Jiang Li's hand and watched her pick up a small stick from the ground and walk bravely towards the candlelit classroom.

After hearing the two voices, Lu Chaoli had already hidden behind the door. At this time, he didn't know that he was mistaken for a thief by Jiang Li. He was happily thinking about Jiang Li's reaction when she opened the door.

Jiang Li walked lightly to the door of the classroom, tightly grasped the wooden stick in her hand, and slowly pushed the door open.

Jiang Li was stunned when the door was opened. Her originally nervous mood instantly relaxed when she saw the candles and flowers all over the floor.

This was prepared by Lu Chaoli? This was the first thought that came to Jiang Li's mind.

And she was very sure that Lu Chaoli was hiding in the classroom.

The only place to hide in the classroom is the door, right? Thinking of this, Jiang Li's eyes showed a faint smile. She threw away the small wooden stick in her hand, and walked along the flower path under her feet to the heart-shaped flower in front, and turned her back to Lu Chaoli to give him time to prepare.

Lu Chaoli, who was hiding behind the door, took a deep breath when he saw Jiang Li come in, then walked towards Jiang Li with a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang."

He called out to Jiang Li, and upon hearing his voice, Jiang Li turned around in surprise.

Lu Chaoli didn't give her time to speak. He walked straight towards her with the flowers, and then knelt on one knee in front of her.

"Will you marry me?"

Lu Chaoli handed a large bunch of wild flowers in his hand to Jiang Li. He looked up at Jiang Li, his eyes rippling in the candlelight, and he showed his surging love to her without any concealment.

Jiang Li curved her lips, the dimples on her cheeks looming, looking at the wild flowers of various colors in Lu Chaoli's hand and asked, "What idea did Yuanyuan give you?"

Lu Chaoli nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Yes, I heard that city people have a stronger sense of ceremony, so I asked Comrade Xiao Xu to give me some advice. I don't know if you like it."

Jiang Li bent down and took the flowers from Lu Chaoli's hand: "Thank you, I like it very much."

Lu Chaoli also laughed: "That's good. If you like flowers, I'll plant some in the yard later. Then you can see the whole yard full of flowers in the spring next year."

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows: "Plant flowers all over the yard? Wouldn't that take up all the space Aunt Lu uses to grow vegetables? Are you sure Aunt Lu won't chase you and beat you up?"

"No, if my mother knew you liked flowers, she would only plant and raise flowers with me."

Lu Chaoli looked at Jiang Li with tender eyes.

Jiang Li felt warm in her heart. She knew very well how good Mother Lu was to her. If she liked flowers, maybe Mother Lu would go back and pull up the vegetables in the yard.

Jiang Li was afraid that Lu Chaoli would do the same thing, so she said quickly, "Don't try to take Aunt Lu's vegetable garden. There are flowers all over the hills. I can see them everywhere when I walk. There's no need to plant them specially."

"Got it. From now on, I will do whatever Comrade Xiao Jiang tells me to do. If Comrade Xiao Jiang tells me to go east, I will never go west. If Comrade Xiao Jiang says one thing, I, Lu Chaoli, will never say two."

Lu Chaoli looked serious, and every word he said was a promise from the bottom of his heart.

The sky is big, the earth is big, but the wife is the most important. This is the principle that Lu Chaoli should follow in the future.

"Comrade Jiang Li, will you marry me?"
