Jiang Liu’s unreliability made Jiang Yan realize that he really couldn’t do without Jiang Yi or Jiang Er.
This time Xu Ning’s accident is like a wake-up call.
Jiang Yan decided to wait until everything was settled before proposing marriage. He told Xu Ning about his decision. Xu Ning did not think there was anything wrong with it, but instead secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that slow things down and things will go smoothly. Jiang Yan slowed down his pace and everything went smoothly. Even Jiang Liu has been more cautious in his work recently and rarely makes mistakes.
A few months passed quickly and the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived again.
Jiang Yan brought various prepared gifts and clothes that he had checked many times, and finally came to Taoyuan Valley to formally propose marriage.
Jiang Yan had discussed this with Xu Ning beforehand, and Xu Ning simply replied with two words, "Come on."
Jiang Yan came to the Xu family with a nervous mood, and found that the Xu family was as warm and welcoming to him as ever, and there was nothing different.
Finally, the two brothers Jiang Yi and Jiang Er came to Taoyuan Valley together. Compared with Jiang Yan, they were less nervous and more relaxed.
Xu Ning also returned to Taoyuan Valley and told the story, which was exaggerated by Xu Feng. The Xu family did not want to marry Xu Ning to him at first.
But the Xu family listened to Xu Ning. Old Lady Xu specifically asked Xu Ning what he thought. Xu Ning said, "After thinking it over, there's no one in the world who's better than him and who's more suitable for me and within my reach. I don't think there's anything wrong with him. He's also tolerant of me and always puts me first. And the most important thing is, he's not ugly, which is already better than many men. I don't need to be too picky. There may not be anyone better than him in the future."
Old Lady Xu said, "It's good that you've thought it through. As long as you're willing, I won't stop you from marrying anyone in the world. Our family has the confidence now. I also believe that my daughter, Daya, is so capable, beautiful, and able to make money. Who would be at a disadvantage if she married?"
"Oh, grandma, I feel embarrassed when I hear you praising me all of a sudden."
"I don't believe you, are you so shy that even a pig can climb a tree? You are so shameless!"
Xu Ning joked with Old Lady Xu, and then Old Lady Xu asked Zhang to help prepare the dowry for Xu Ning.
Even Xu Ning tried to learn embroidery in the past few months, but the results were eventually hidden away by Old Lady Xu.
Jiang Yan brought Pei Jiao's parents with him when he proposed marriage this time. Before leaving, Jiang Yan also informed the head of the Jiang family, so he didn't need to interfere with anything else.
The Xu family also understood Jiang Yan's situation and had no objection to it. Moreover, because they had been neighbors with the Pei family for some time, the discussion on the agenda of being close and comfortable was going more smoothly.
Naturally, the two parties were not kept by the adults and were driven out for a walk.
Xu Ning didn't want to see the teasing looks from those guys, so he directly pulled Jiang Yan to go boating on the lake.
But before leaving, Xu Feng pouted and said to Jiang Yan: "You have to take good care of my second sister, don't do it like last time!"
The last time Xu Feng was talking about was naturally not the last time he went fishing, but the incident that happened in Haicheng.
Jiang Yan nodded seriously and promised: "Even if you hurt me, I won't hurt Aning at all!"
"That would be better!" Xu Feng left after saying this. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, his second sister would be dragged away.
He was also approaching marriageable age, so he naturally knew what his second sister was like now. In the past, when Xu Ning had said that the marriage was not going to happen and had never agreed, he could still drag Xu Feng into a trance, but now that was no longer possible. His second sister was about to become someone else's wife.
Xu Feng felt very uncomfortable. As the eldest brother, Xu An naturally knew what Xu Feng was thinking. He, Xu Yuan and Xu Ning waved and chased after Xu Feng.
Pei Jiao also turned around and told Jiang Yan to take good care of Xu Ning.
Xu Ning originally wanted to complain, she was not a weak woman and did not need others to take care of her like a baby.
But he quickly remembered that today was his wedding day after all, and he should be well-behaved and sensible, so he held back and kept silent.
After he and Jiang Yan got on the boat and Jiang Yan rowed, they arrived at the center of the lake, and Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, what else did Jiang Yan not understand? He smiled dotingly: "Aning, just be yourself. There's no need to change anything. You're fine the way you are now."
"I know. Isn't this a rare day? I can be a well-behaved and sensible girl occasionally, but forget it at other times. It's too tiring to keep quiet like this. This is also the reason why I didn't want to get married before. There were too many things to consider." Xu Ning opened up.
"Just let me take care of things from now on, and don't worry about anything else."
"Very good, very conscious, and has the potential to be a filial husband!" Xu Ning praised sincerely.
"Does husband mean husband? What about the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars?" Jiang Yan was curious.
Xu Ning became excited when he talked about this, and it was not until Xu Yuan came and called them that they rowed back reluctantly.
After dark, a stove was lit in the middle of the Xu family's yard, and several large pots of rich chicken soup were bubbling.
Today the Xu family decided to eat everyone’s favorite hot pot. The weather has just turned cold, and it is most suitable to eat hot pot in this weather.
The Pei and Xu families have eaten it several times and have fallen in love with this way of eating.
In the afternoon, we made mooncakes together, and after eating the hot pot in the evening, we sat down to eat mooncakes and admire the moon.
Originally, Jiang Yan planned to integrate into the Xu family and stop using serving chopsticks, but Xu Ning brought over a serving chopstick, indicating that he could let her be herself and she didn't need to change his habits.
People are most comfortable with their old habits.
But halfway through the meal, Jiang Yan tried not to use the serving chopsticks, and he actually enjoyed eating more happily with everyone.
Seeing that he really wasn't uncomfortable, Xu Ning said with a smile, "You can be assured when eating from a hot pot. Just put your chopsticks in the boiling broth and everything will be cooked!"
"Aning is right!" Jiang Yan agreed.
Xu Ning leaned over and whispered, "But you still have to use serving chopsticks when eating out."
Jiang Yan's eyes sparkled as he nodded and said "hmm".
Xu Ning inexplicably felt that Jiang Yan, this obedient little puppy, looked quite cute. After thinking about it again and again, he reached out and grabbed his hand.
As a result, her hand was immediately held back, and Xu Ning felt a little hot on her cheeks and ears, but her face had already turned red from the steam from the pot, so no one else could see it.
Xu Ning pulled under the table and found that it didn't open. In addition, she didn't grab it with the hand that held chopsticks, so she let Jiang Yan grab it.
Jiang Yan was also nervous, but when he saw that no one noticed, he became bolder and started to rub it gently.
There were some calluses on Xu Ning's palms. Jiang Yan touched them and drew circles on them.
Xu Ning only felt the palm of his hand was numb and itchy, and his other hand, which was holding the food, almost fell.
"What are you doing? Stop making trouble." Xu Ning approached Jiang Yan again in the name of picking up some food. Jiang Yan smelled the sweet fragrance nearby.
"Aning, you... smell so good."
