Chapter 225 Idea
By this time, Zhang Fu had probably already forgotten that it was he who had brought up the matter of discussing the engagement.
The stroke of the character "八" was drawn the moment Su Ning nodded.
"Pfft~"
Witnessing the whole thing, the other onlookers tried their best to suppress their laughter, while Fu Jiaming almost pinched his thigh until it turned purple.
The old couple's reactions were just too adorable, especially Zhang Fu, who was trying to appear dignified and serious, with a face that seemed to change five times in a second without any attempt to hide it.
Although she didn't know what everyone was laughing at, Xiao Qiu, nestled in Zhang Qi's arms, covered her mouth with her hands along with them, her wet eyes sparkling with joy.
Seeing the accusatory yet slightly pleading look in someone's eyes, Su Ning raised her hand to rub her aching face and spoke up to rescue the person.
"Godmother, Godfather, I just told my brother to pass on a message to Grandpa and Grandma. Shall we go over there first? And then invite Grandpa Yan and Uncle Fu tonight?"
"Oh, yes, yes!"
I almost forgot, there's still a lot of important business to attend to.
I had Ningning tell this to someone myself, so as not to keep people waiting any longer.
Xiao Bei is not only beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but also speaks exceptionally well and has a kind heart.
Hu Yingtao was somewhat reluctant to leave, but fortunately she could stay a few more days and had plenty of opportunities to talk with Xiao Yan. "Xiao Bei, why don't you tell your in-laws later that we can come over for dinner and have a formal meeting between our two families?"
"Okay, Auntie."
Yan Bei wanted to go along, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Captain Su's family in broad daylight.
It's also because they were sent down to this team for reform. If they were anywhere else, they wouldn't be able to enjoy such a relaxed and carefree time as long as they were carrying some people on their backs.
After emerging from the back gate one after the other with Fu Jiaming, Yan Bei finally breathed in the fresh air with great pleasure, letting go of the tension in her heart.
"How about it?"
"How about what?"
"Hehe, of course it's the feeling of being constantly criticized by my future father-in-law, and finding fault with everything he does."
Fu Jiaming nudged his hard chest with his elbow with a mischievous grin. "You've always been the most outstanding person in everyone's eyes since you were a child. Isn't that a rare experience?"
"Looks like you've had your fill of experiences with Uncle Luo."
"..."
That was a fatal blow, a sure kill. You truly lived up to your reputation.
Silently giving a thumbs up, Fu Jiaming helplessly spread his hands, "Uncle Zhang is alright, Shuangshuang's father and older brother are the real terror."
Recalling the way Luo Fusen and Luo Wu looked at him that day, he still couldn't help but tremble.
But since they're the ones who want to take everything, even the pots, we have no choice but to accept it.
Thinking that besides his future father-in-law's family and his maternal uncle's family, there were only two major regions he had to cross.
And Yanbei...
Besides the Zhang family, an important godparent family to Su Ning, there's also the Fu family, highly regarded in Beijing, and her two sworn brothers, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin, who protect her like the apple of their eye…
There are countless challenges ahead!
"Hahahaha!"
Leaving behind the fool who was inexplicably overly excited and laughing heartily, Yanbei quickened his pace despite the wind and snow.
……
The snow fell even heavier, one flake after another, covering the mountain path with a thin layer of white in no time.
Although the dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain had been simply repaired by Suning and could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain, it was not very effective at keeping warm.
Especially since it's so close to the mountains and at such a high altitude, the nights are even colder after it snows.
Fearing that the elderly Yan Changrong and his wife might not be able to withstand the heat, Yan Bei took out the thickest quilts and cotton-padded jackets that Su Ning had prepared and had them change into them.
Zhao Panpan joked that it was the first time she had worn such thick clothes, and she could hardly walk on them.
However, knowing their grandson's filial piety, the two obediently did as instructed, even though it was inconvenient for them. They would wear their big cotton-padded jackets inside their small cotton-padded jackets while indoors, and always wear their military overcoats when going out.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm back!"
"Quick, Xiao Qi, come inside."
Seeing the snow falling outside, Zhao Panpan knew her little grandson should be home soon, but she didn't expect it to take so long to get home.
"Your hair is all frozen solid. Come on, warm yourself by the fire. Where did you and Xiaoming go to collect firewood? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Oh, right, firewood!
Yan Bei, who seemed to have forgotten something, helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"Hehe, we forgot about the firewood when we came back. I would have completely forgotten about it if Grandma hadn't told me."
"What happened?"
Given his abnormal memory, how could he forget what he was doing after leaving home? Neither of them believed he was alright. Zhao Panpan was initially worried, but then she realized that her grandson only reacted like this when he encountered someone alone, and her expression visibly and quickly turned to joy.
"Is Ning back?"
"Ningning is back?"
"Yes, I was just about to say that. My grandparents and Ningning's godparents came back together and said they'd go over for dinner later so the two families could officially meet."
"Oh, the in-laws are here!"
After they established their relationship, Su Ning told him everything.
Yanbei picked out a few of the most important items and told his grandparents about them.
After all, he was thinking about a long-term relationship, and marriage in the future would not only be a matter between the two of them, but also a matter between their two families.
They need to let their own family know Suning's attitude and recognize who the Yan family should truly treat from now on.
Therefore, when the Zhang family was mentioned, the two elders did not simply regard them as godparents but as proper in-laws. They were not only overjoyed but also became extremely attentive.
"What, what do we do?!"
After her initial joy, Zhao Panpan couldn't help but slap her thigh hard.
The two families formally met. According to the message brought by the grandson, this was a secret code between the in-laws. If I'm not mistaken, they were preparing to discuss the important matter of the two children.
They have nothing now, nothing that should be prepared according to custom…
"No, no, we can't treat Ning girl so unfairly."
She had prepared several times more than what she had prepared for her two daughters-in-law, and had also prepared several times more for the future daughters-in-law of her grandchildren.
After carefully selecting and preparing the gift, Zhao Panpan was heartbroken that she couldn't deliver it.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll go find Jiaming."
"Ok?"
"You'll find out when I get back."
Remembering what that kid had told him a few days ago, Yan Bei had an idea. Ignoring his clothes soaked with snow, he hurriedly stepped out of the house after saying this.
"Xiao Qi, slow down! Be careful, the ground is slippery, don't fall!"
"I understand, Grandma, please don't go out and wait for me to come back."
Zhao Panpan pulled her leg back after stepping halfway across the threshold and carefully moved back to sit in front of the brazier.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his wife, who was busy getting ready, say irritably, "Aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Didn't Xiaoqi come up with a solution? Hey, stop worrying. You know what kind of person Ningning is. Even without those things, she wouldn't be finding fault or being unhappy."
"It's precisely because Ning doesn't care about these things and doesn't complain that I want to give her all the good things in one go, so that she's worthy of such a good girl like us."
Zhao Panpan truly loves her. Even setting aside what Su Ning did for the Yan family, it's enough that she treats him so well.
But... I still feel indebted to her, I feel sorry for her.
He patted her hand; how could Yan Changrong not know what his wife was thinking?
However, there's nothing that can be done now, and thinking too much will only cause more trouble.
"From now on, let's prove with our actions that treating her ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times better than those beautiful but lifeless things?"
"At least you said something sensible."
"Hey, you old woman!"
……
Meanwhile, Yanbei, who had already run to the Fu family's house, quickly knocked on the door.
Before Fu Jiaming could even open the door and utter a teasing remark, he was immediately grabbed by the neck and dragged into the house, only letting go once they reached his room.
"Cough~ You want to strangle me?"
His face flushed red, Fu Jiaming gasped for breath, pointing at him with accusatory eyes.
"Take out that treasure you mentioned a few days ago and let me see it."
"What are you trying to do? Take advantage of our misfortune?"
He said that, but once he caught his breath, Fu Jiaming didn't wait for his reply and his hand had already started to violently lift the bed board.
Under the bed was a cellar he had dug himself while the house was being built.
Remove the concealed floor tiles, and underneath, there's a small door made of round wood that slides outwards. Once opened, three large boxes are placed side by side.
"Here it is!"
