Before it got dark, Fan's father took Fan Tiesheng to Master Yuan's house.
Master Yuan and the others were preparing to eat.
Upon seeing the father and son, they quickly invited them to eat together.
This made Mr. Fan feel a little embarrassed.
They were in such a hurry that they didn't expect to run into someone having a meal.
Master Yun didn't seem to care.
Grandma Yuan then fried another egg.
Eggs are a rare commodity; how could we let them spend money on them?
Mr. Fan quickly stopped them, saying that they had already eaten.
Master Yuan is a shrewd and experienced old man.
How could they not tell whether they had eaten or not?
They even said they'd talk about it after dinner.
This put Mr. Fan in a very awkward position.
Fan Tiesheng had been searching for Yuan Min.
Seeing that she wasn't home, I asked curiously:
"Second Grandma, where did Minmin go? I can't find her."
Grandma Yuan went to the kitchen and didn't hear what he was asking.
It was Master Yuan who responded to him: "Minmin went to the Shi family."
They said they were looking for a little girl to identify medicinal herbs.
Fan Tiesheng glanced at the sky and said, "Then I'll go find her."
After saying that, he ran off in a flash.
Mr. Fan chuckled awkwardly, "This child..."
Master Yuan didn't seem to mind at all; instead, he comforted Fan's father.
"Kids should be lively. Don't be too restrictive."
Minmin should be back soon too.
So Mr. Fan sat down and chatted with Master Yuan.
The two talked about other topics and did not discuss their children.
As they chatted, Mr. Fan asked about Yuan Dazhi's leg.
Master Yuan seemed particularly happy and repeated what Yun Xiaoxiao had said.
Fan's father was also very happy and suggested carrying Yuan Da out to talk.
Master Yuan, of course, had no objections.
He was too old, and Yuan Da wouldn't let him carry it.
I'm afraid I'll twist my back or hurt my foot.
Yuan Min was too small to carry, so Yuan Da usually stayed in his own room.
When Fan's father entered Yuan Da's room, he was taken aback.
This room is so clean!
Everything was tidy and orderly, without any of the filth and stench one would expect from someone who had been bedridden for years.
On the contrary, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Yuan Da smiled and said, "Brother Fan, please don't laugh at me."
My home is simple. Minmin said that I stay indoors every day and can't smell the fragrance of flowers outside.
Every morning I would pick a bunch of wildflowers and put them somewhere.
Mr. Fan was now even more satisfied with Yuan Min.
I wonder what other child would have such patience to take such good care of their long-term paralyzed father?
Sigh, it's their mistress who's climbed the social ladder.
Just as Fan's father brought Yuan Da out, Yuan Min and Fan Tiesheng returned.
Yuan Min happily called out to everyone in turn, then ran to Yuan Da's side and asked with a grin:
"Father, guess what I'm holding in my arms."
As she spoke, she even stuck out her bulging belly.
Yuan Daci smiled kindly and asked, "What is it?"
Yuan Min giggled and said, "Father, guess quickly, guess quickly."
Oh dear, it moved again.
It's about to fall.
"Brother Tiesheng, come quick and help me catch it! Don't let it get away!"
Fan Tiesheng stepped forward and helped support it with his hands.
Just as everyone was wondering, Yuan Min pulled a small rabbit out of her bosom.
Grandma Yuan asked in surprise, "Where did this little rabbit come from? It's so cute!"
It looks like a wild rabbit.
Yuan Min hugged the little rabbit with obvious affection: "Xiao Xiao gave it to me."
They also said it was a female rabbit and would have many baby rabbits in the future.
After laughing and joking around for a while, everyone started eating.
Grandma Yuan not only fried an extra egg, but also cooked a pumpkin soup.
Master Yuan invited Fan's father to eat, ignoring Fan Tiesheng.
Because Yuan Min went to see the little rabbit while holding a bowl.
Fan Tiesheng naturally went along as well.
Looking at the two children, Mr. Fan blushed and spoke.
"Second Master, A-Da, you see the two children get along very well, why don't we grant them their wish?"
Master Yuan had long guessed the purpose of Fan's father's visit, and he didn't beat around the bush.
“You know our family situation. If Tiesheng is willing to come to our house, I have no objection.”
Father Fan nodded: "I believe you all understand what Tiesheng means."
His mother and I also approve.
As long as they're doing well, it doesn't matter whose family they live in.
Yuan Da hesitated for a moment: "It's not that I look down on Tiesheng, he's a good kid and he's good to Minmin."
Minmin is still young; she has several years before she can get married.
"Won't this delay Tiesheng's progress?"
Mr. Fan thought he was unwilling, but he didn't expect it to be for this reason.
He quickly said, "What's the big deal? If you're worried about things changing, why don't you just get the wedding done for them first?"
"Wait until Minmin is older..."
It was somewhat inappropriate for a grown man to say what followed.
I believe they all understand.
Master Yuan and Master Yuan exchanged a glance and said, "Wouldn't this be unfair to Tiesheng?"
Mr. Fan smiled and said, "We also asked Tiesheng about this, and he had no objection."
Yuan Da also thought it was a good idea, but he still needed to ask Yuan Min's opinion.
After all, this is a major event in her life.
Second Master Yuan gave Second Madam Yuan a wink.
Grandma Yuan nodded and called Yuan Min into the house.
Although Yuan Min was not quick to understand, she still guessed why Fan's father and the others had come.
When Granny Yuan asked her, her face turned red.
Despite blushing, she still agreed.
Tiesheng had protected her since she was little, and she had long since become dependent on him.
That's good, now Brother Tiesheng can protect her for the rest of his life.
Grandma Yuan also mentioned that the Fan family wanted to get married first and then consummate the marriage.
Minmin is not a child anymore; she should be able to make her own decisions.
Yuan Min did not immediately agree, saying she needed to think about it.
Grandma Yuan conveyed Yuan Min's meaning, and Mr. Fan nodded: "This is the right thing to do, after all, it's not a small matter."
At first, Fan Tiesheng was worried that Minmin would not agree.
I was overjoyed to hear what Grandma Yuan said.
Seeing that Minmin was hiding inside and wouldn't come out, he felt embarrassed.
Mr. Fan said he would send a matchmaker to propose marriage in a few days.
Then he called Fan Tiesheng and left.
Along the way, seeing Fan Tiesheng's reluctant demeanor, Fan's father was both amused and exasperated.
It's true what they say, once a son grows up, he's gone.
After returning home, I told Fan's mother about it.
Mother Fan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Fan Xiaohua peeked around from the side, only to be glared at and warned by her father.
"Stay home and mind your own business. It's none of your concern to interfere in your brother's marriage."
Stop causing trouble.
If this falls through, don't blame me for being a ruthless father.
Fan Xiaohua felt a little wronged; she hadn't said anything, yet she was warned again.
Back in her room, she felt increasingly resentful. Was she destined to live like this forever?
She also wants to get married and have a family.
What's wrong with that?
Why does everyone dislike her and think she's malicious?
She was the one who liked Brother Stone first, so why did Yun Xiaoxiao have to come along?
And she even stole Brother Stone's heart.
No, she wouldn't give in like that.
Don't they go up the mountain to pick mushrooms every day?
She'll go too. If something happens between her and Stone Brother on the mountain, she can marry him.
Thinking of Yuan Shitou's strong and sturdy body, Fan Xiaohua couldn't help but feel her face burning.
