Yan Jingwen's heart was in turmoil. He knew that he could not change anything now. Finally, Yan Jingwen sighed and said, "Since Ye Shuning has chosen you, I hope you remember what you said and don't let her down. She is a good girl, and it's me who is unlucky.
Also, you have to be careful of the Wang family. Wang Qianru is so devoted to you, they won't just let you, their promising son-in-law, run away."
Li Shaozhong was relieved to see Yan Jingwen had come to his senses and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Yan Jingwen didn't say anything more, just got on his bike and left. He didn't want to face anyone right now, he just wanted to be alone and quiet.
Seeing Li Shaozhong coming back after a long time, Ye Shuning said, "Don't force Yan Jingwen to come to our engagement. I think he'll be embarrassed."
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "If he wants to come, we welcome him. If he doesn't come, I won't blame him."
The autumn harvest was over, and the engagement date was approaching. Li Shaozhong was going to take Ye Shuning to the city to buy some clothes. They hadn't had time before, so this time they had a lot to buy.
Although it was an engagement ceremony, Li Shaozhong still wanted to buy more things for Ye Shuning.
Ye Xingguo calculated the time and knew that he would be leaving soon. He also wanted to accompany his daughter to the city and buy some things for her.
Li Jingyu had completely regained his former liveliness and was clamoring to go along. Since it was the weekend, Pan Yongnian also wanted to go.
Finally, Ye Xingguo waved his hand, and Li Jingyu and Pan Yongnian followed.
Several people were taken to the town by Pan Dongshan in a ox cart to take the bus.
It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived in the city, and everyone hurried to buy things.
The shops were crowded on weekends, and many places had to queue up. Ye Shuning and her friends wanted to buy a lot of things, so they all lined up in different places. Finally, they finally got their turn and bought their things.
Ye Shuning felt that it was really not easy. If she came alone, she didn't know how long it would take to buy everything.
The place where they were buying clothes wasn't crowded. Li Shaozhong brought Ye Shuning along to buy clothes. The salesperson knew the two young people were a couple the moment they saw them. They were a perfect match, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
Her attitude also improved a lot, and she said to Li Shaozhong, "Young man, are you buying clothes for your girlfriend?"
Li Shaozhong was delighted when he heard this. His eyes curved, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked handsome and bright, full of joy. His voice was deep and magnetic, "Yes, I want to buy some clothes for my fiancée. Do you have any good recommendations?"
When the saleswoman heard this, she said, "Oh, this young man is really good at talking and has a nice voice. It's a pity that he is someone else's son-in-law."
She brought out two pieces of clothing and said, "These two are the best-selling ones here. Little girls like to wear brightly colored clothes."
Ye Shuning saw that the clothes were indeed brightly colored, one dark red and one purple, but she didn't like wearing this color.
Ye Shuning said, "Comrade, these two pieces of clothing may not be suitable for me. Can you give me a white shirt so I can take a look? Also, do you have any black straight-leg pants?"
When the saleswoman heard that the girl didn't want these two clothes, she secretly thought that the girl didn't know what goods were, so she put the clothes away and took out a white shirt and a pair of black straight pants.
Ye Shuning looked at them and thought they were good, so she bought them all. She felt that wearing a white shirt would never go out of style, and it would go perfectly with black straight-leg pants.
Ye Shuning only planned to buy these two pieces of clothing, and she would buy the fabric for the rest and make them herself.
Li Shaozhong saw that Ye Shuning only bought two pieces of clothing, which he thought was too little. He advised, "Xiao Ning, why don't you buy two more pieces of clothing? A little girl should dress beautifully."
Ye Shuning was afraid the salesperson would be upset, so she leaned close to Li Shaozhong's ear and said, "To be honest, I don't like the clothes in this department store. They're not as good-looking as the ones I made myself."
Li Shaozhong looked at the salesperson with a smile in his eyes when he heard this, then looked at the clothes hanging on the wall. He felt that none of them were as beautiful as the ones made by his daughter. So he acquiesced to Ye Shuning's idea of buying fabric and making her own clothes at home.
Li Shaozhong saw someone selling cloth nearby and said, "Then let's buy some more cloth."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "That's fine."
The two of them went to the cloth counter and picked out some fabric. Ye Shuning bought fabric for everyone in the family, and of course everyone worked together to make new clothes.
Ye Shuning looked at the cloth coupons sent by Li Shaoyang and decided not to keep them as they would expire if she didn't use them.
Li Shaozhong saw a store selling vanishing cream and bought a bottle for Ye Shuning. He also bought hair ties, hairpins, handkerchiefs, and other girly items. He wanted his little girl to have everything that others had.
Ye Shuning also bought school supplies for Pan Yongnian and food for Li Jingyu. She also planned to make Li Jingyu a new set of clothes. The group returned with a full load.
On the day of Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning's engagement, all the members of the Pan family came, and Yang Xiuying brought several daughters-in-law to help.
Pan Dongshan also invited several respected elders in the village to attend the engagement ceremony as witnesses.
Everyone happily had a sumptuous banquet together.
Yan Jingwen hadn't gotten over the hurdle in his heart and didn't attend Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning's engagement ceremony. But Li Shaozhong could understand him.
Finally having a legitimate relationship with Ye Shuning and becoming an engaged couple, Li Shaozhong felt full of strength. He planned to go back to work after settling down for a while.
Li Shaozhong had previously decided not to return to work in the oil field. This time he planned to work somewhere closer to his parents.
His older and younger brothers were both very busy, so he had to take care of his parents. And after he and Xiao Ning got married, he planned to send his nephew back to live with his parents. He didn't want anyone to disturb his and Xiao Ning's world of two.
Just a few days after Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning's engagement ceremony, Ye Xingguo received a telegram asking him to return to the team. Ye Xingguo's health had recovered, and he had reported this to his superiors a few days ago. This was the reason for the telegram asking him to return to the team.
His daughter's engagement ceremony has already taken place, and he feels much more at ease knowing that Li Shaozhong is taking care of his daughter.
Ye Shuning was very reluctant to let her father go, but she also knew it was his duty. She had already made two sets of clothes for her father, a cotton-padded jacket, and a few pieces of underwear.
The night before Ye Xingguo left, he called Li Shaozhong outside and told him, "Shaozhong, I'm leaving Xiaoning in your care. But remember, don't cross the line before we get married."
Ye Xingguo was also an experienced person. He knew that young men and women would inevitably lose control of themselves when they were deeply in love. He had to give Li Shaozhong good instructions, which was also to protect his daughter.
Li Shaozhong understood what his father-in-law meant and his face turned red, but it was too dark to see.
Li Shaozhong assured: "Uncle Ye, don't worry, I will remember your words."
