Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 226 Careful
"Yan Qi, you still haven't told me what you're going to do?"

Squatting beside him, Fu Jiaming watched as he began picking and choosing among several boxes.

"Choose a few suitable gifts for Ningning when we meet."

If it's really as he thinks, perhaps an engagement ceremony should also be added.

With a slight upturn of his lips, Yan Bei shook the mandarin duck jade pendant in his hand. "What, you can't bear to part with it?"

"Hey, what do I have to be reluctant about?"

Ultimately, this windfall was all thanks to Suning.

Fu Jiaming waved his hand dismissively, indicating that he wouldn't mind picking out more boxes, since there were still many more in the Baoshan cave even if this one was gone.

What bothered him and Shuangshuang was that he and Shuangshuang had established their relationship first and met each other's parents first, so how could these two possibly get engaged before them?

There are still more than two years until Shuangshuang finishes her studies. Forget it, he'll just have to wait.

"Thanks, brother. I'll make you back with double the amount of these things later."

"Who are you trying to embarrass!"

He punched him in the chest, and Fu Jiaming rolled his eyes in annoyance.

However, knowing that Yan Qi was just like that, he was too lazy to argue with him any further. He would deal with it when the time came; what could he possibly force on him?

I glanced at the items he had chosen: a pair of emerald green mandarin duck jade pendants, a pair of jadeite bracelets with floating flowers, a hairpin with pink pearls, and a tourmaline bracelet with 108 beads.

"that's it?"

"enough."

"The gift is enough for the first meeting, but it won't be enough for an engagement."

The stuff itself is good stuff.

But nowadays, these good things can't even buy a few kilograms of grain on the market, and they're not as practical as large or small yellow croakers.

As he spoke, Fu Jiaming put his hand into the box containing the gold and pulled out about ten gold bars that were easy to hide.

Finally, they even pulled out two boxes containing small peanuts and melon seeds made of gold.

"Enough is enough."

Seeing that he was about to rummage through the items, Yan Bei quickly stopped him, saying, "Cover it up and hide it immediately."

"Alright, come find me again if you remember anything else you're missing."

……

When Yan Bei returned to the foot of the mountain carrying a cloth bag full of things, the parts of his body that had been soaked by the snowmelt had hardened and become stiff.

Seeing this, Zhao Panpan felt sorry for him and quickly pulled him to sit down by the brazier. She even used her own hands to warm his frostbitten, bluish-purple hands.

Because of his status, the clothes that Suning prepared were all brand new cotton wadding inside, but the outside was deliberately aged and patched to cover up the damage.

So Yan Changrong could only change into a set of clothes that didn't have so many patches and looked a little more presentable.

After tidying herself up, she stepped out of the inner room and found her grandson had already returned. "How are you?"

"That's about it. I still have some small wooden boxes that I made myself. I'll just put them in separate boxes."

……

While the three generations of the family were still discussing things, Su Ning was also preparing to take his godparents to Grandpa Su's house.

She marked all the things she had prepared beforehand to prevent confusion, and wrote small characters with a brush on the outside of the burlap sack indicating which family each item was intended for.

Zhang Qi picked out the one with "Grandpa Su" written on it and said, "Ningning, it's okay, let's go."

After the four adults and one child left the house, Su Ning led the way with Xiao Qiu by the hand.

The snow was already half a palm's width thick; one step and it went right over the top of my shoes.

Afraid that Xiao Qiu's shoes would freeze again, he bent down and picked her up in his arms.

"Ningning, why don't I do it?"

"No need, godfather. The road is difficult to walk on, so you and godmother should be careful. I can still carry Xiao Qiu."

For the past few months, Hu Yingtao has been feeding Xiaoqiu delicious food and drinks to nourish her, and she has not only become fairer but also gained a lot of weight.

It was nothing like when we first met, when it felt so light and I couldn't feel much weight. After walking halfway there, my hands started to ache and I gradually felt weak.

Just as she was considering whether to change from carrying her to carrying her on her back, she heard a familiar voice calling out.

"Ning Ning!"

It turned out that Su Jianqun, who was waiting not far away, saw them and called out loudly before quickly coming to greet them.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing standing here?"

"Grandpa and Grandma were in a hurry, so they asked me to greet them here. Come on, give me the baby!" Seeing that her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat despite the cold weather, Su Jianqun immediately reached out to Xiao Qiu in her arms. "How about big brother holds you?"

"Hehe, young man, according to my way of addressing her, Xiao Qiu should call you Uncle, why are you lowering your seniority?"

"Hehehe, I forgot, Xiao Qiu, right? Come here, your uncle will give you a hug!"

Knowing that her aunt was having a hard time carrying her, she tried to get down and walk by herself several times.

Now that a kind-hearted uncle has arrived, Xiao Qiu is not shy at all. She greets him with a big smile and obediently stretches out her little hand to hug him.

Finally, my aunt doesn't have to work so hard anymore!
"Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Grandpa and Grandma are all waiting at home. They're so happy to hear you're coming! Let's go home quickly!"

"Good good."

Zhang Fu smiled and readily agreed, then helped his wife quicken her pace.

In a short while, the group arrived at their destination.

When the two sides meet, they inevitably exchange pleasantries and greetings.

After they politely entered the main room, they discovered that Su Qingshan and the others had lit two or three braziers inside because they were worried it was too cold.

In the middle of the room, there was a huge round table for family reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year. The food on the table was kept warm by turning over clean, extra bowls and plates.

Judging from their appearance, it seems that as soon as they arrived, the old man had someone start preparing food, just waiting for them to come over so they could eat something hot right away.

A large round table was surrounded by people, filling it to capacity, just like a grand feast in the village; it was incredibly lively.

However, there were too many people, so the women and children had a separate table set up in the kitchen.

Zhang Fu and Su Qingshan chatted happily, especially after a few drinks, they started calling each other "brother" very affectionately.

"Brother Su, it has to be you! I'm so envious!"

Su Qingshan had three sons and one daughter. After his three sons got married one after another, they gave him eight grandsons and six granddaughters. He was truly blessed with a house full of children and grandchildren.

Unlike him, who not only has one son, Aqi, but also refuses to get married despite being quite old.

I'm really afraid that if I wait a few more years, the money will just be stuck with me!

"Haha, Xiao Qi looks so handsome and promising. He's worth three people! Brother Zhang now has such a wonderful girl like Ningning. What's there to envy?"

"Hahaha, brother, you're right, that makes sense. With Ningning around, my wife and I are happy even in our dreams."

"It's just that we're far apart, so even if we wanted to help, we couldn't reach out and help."

"Hey, I'm here, don't worry, no one can bully her right here!"

"Then I'll have to put in a lot of effort, brother..."

Sitting to the side, Su Ning listened to their increasingly loud voices, feeling both amused and deeply moved.

"Ningning, ignore those drunkards. Hurry up and eat more of the food while it's hot."

"Yes, Ningning's old hen soup is so delicious, have a couple more bowls!"

Before I knew it, the bowl I had painstakingly emptied was stuffed back into a small mountain, and I secretly patted my already bulging belly.

After smiling and agreeing, he picked up a bowl of chicken soup, took a couple of sips, and then quickly picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, feeling both pained and happy.

The meal lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

After Zhang Fu and Zhang Qi, who had drunk quite a bit, sobered up a bit, they said goodbye and left.

After seeing the person off at the gate, Su Qingshan turned back into the house, rolled some tobacco leaves from his pipe, and began to smoke with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Old man, come here quickly!"

"What's wrong now? You really can't let a person have a moment's peace."

His face was fierce, but his feet moved with surprising speed. He tapped his pipe and strode into the couple's house.

"Ningwa's in-laws gave such a generous gift, what are we going to do!"

I'd feel uneasy accepting her gift; I'd be wondering what to give her in return.

Inside the large burlap sack were several small cloth bags. Besides the snow-white polished rice, there was a pig's leg, a lamb's leg, and a fish weighing about ten pounds.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Su Qingshan realized the Zhang family's intention in sending such a generous gift.

Besides showing how much they value their own family, they also wanted them to be close by so they could take better care of Ningning and provide her with peace of mind.

It's clear that Ningning has made a good choice in choosing this godparent; she genuinely treats her like her own daughter.

However, even without these considerations, Su Qingshan still had to consider Su Ting's feelings, not to mention that he genuinely liked Ningning and was naturally willing to take good care of her.

"Keep them. We'll give them some good cured meats after we slaughter the pig for the New Year in a few days."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
