Chapter 439 Jiang Yan postpones marriage proposal
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 warning.
Jiang Yan decided to wait until everything was settled before proposing marriage. He told Xu Ning of his decision. Xu Ning did not think there was anything wrong with it, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that if you take it slow, you will get better. Jiang Yan slowed down his pace and everything went exceptionally 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 again, and Xu Ning directly 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 about it, there is no one in the world who is better than him and more suitable for me and I can reach him. I don't think there is anything wrong with him. He tolerates me and always puts me first. The most important thing is that he is not ugly, which is 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: "It's good that you have thought it through. As long as you are 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 can make money. Who would suffer if she married her?"
"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 was joking 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 to propose marriage this time. Before leaving, Jiang Yan also informed the head of the Jiang family, so he didn't need to interfere with other matters.
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, they were close and comfortable with each other, so the discussion on this agenda went 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 about to reach the age of marriage, so he naturally knew what his second sister was like now. In the past, when Xu Ning said that the marriage would not take place and had not been agreed, he could still drag Xu Feng crazy, but now it was no longer possible, and his second sister was about to become someone else's family.
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 that she was not a weak woman who needed others to take care of her like a baby.
But she soon remembered that today was her little wedding day after all and she should be well behaved and sensible, so she refrained from saying anything.
After he and Jiang Yan got on the boat and Jiang Yan rowed the boat, they arrived at the center of the lake. Only then did Xu Ning breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan didn't understand anything when he saw her like this. He smiled dotingly: "Aning, just be yourself. There's no need to change anything. You're good 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 silent like this. This is also the reason why I didn't want to get married before. There were just 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, you have a high level of awareness and have the potential to become a very 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 the two of them 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 hotpot. The weather has just turned cold, and it is most suitable to eat hotpot 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 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 still 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 with everyone more.
Seeing that he was really not uncomfortable, Xu Ning said with a smile: "You can be assured when eating from a pot. Put your chopsticks in the boiling soup and everything will be cooked!"
"Aning is right!" Jiang Yan agreed.
Xu Ning came 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 it over again, he reached out and grabbed his hand.
As a result, her hand was immediately held back, and Xu Ning felt her cheeks and ears getting a little hot, but her face had already turned red from the smoke from the pot, so no one else could see it.
Xu Ning pulled at it under the table, but found that it didn't open. And since she wasn't holding it with the hand that held chopsticks, she let Jiang Yan hold 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 his palms.
Xu Ning only felt his palms tingling 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 food. Jiang Yan smelled the fragrance nearby.
"Aning, you... smell so good."
