After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Chapter 247 Meeting the Parents 2

Jiang Yan had already prepared the betrothal gift. When his father asked, he immediately replied, "According to the custom in our hometown, it's three turns and one ring - a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio. In addition, I have prepared a betrothal gift of 3,000 yuan. Uncle, if you have any other requirements, please let me know and I will definitely meet them."

Not to mention the three turns and one ring, the amount of three thousand yuan is definitely a considerable sum at this time.

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Shen's father was obviously stunned for a moment, and then showed a satisfied look, "You are very sincere."

Neither the things nor the money will be kept at home. He and Shen's mother have discussed that no matter how much the man is willing to pay, it will be added to his daughter's dowry.

What Jiang Yan said was obviously much more than he expected. This was better, as his daughter would have more confidence in her future life.

Jiang Yan raised the corner of his mouth, "Uncle, Xia Xia is a good girl. She is willing to marry me, I am marrying above my station...!

Father Jiang shook his head slightly, "You are being modest. I can see that you are also a very outstanding person."

"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Yan's smile became more obvious, and his tone was unusually sincere. "Don't worry, uncle. I will treat her well."

Father Shen was silent for a moment, then stood up and patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder. "From now on, I'll leave Xia Xia to you. Take good care of her."

Jiang Yan was delighted, realizing that Father Shen approved of his intentions. A bright smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "Thank you, uncle. Don't worry, I promise that I will never let Xia Xia suffer any injustice in the future!"

It happened to be the weekend, and at noon, many relatives came to the Shen family. They all came to see her specially because they heard that Shen Xiaoxia had brought her boyfriend back.

Jiang Yan greeted every guest politely and answered various questions patiently, winning unanimous praise from everyone.

"College students are different. They speak so well!"

"He's handsome too, and a perfect match for Xiao Xia!"

"What a perfect match...!"

Shen Xiaoxia was surrounded by her aunts and uncles, who asked her all kinds of questions. She felt a little suffocated, and her face was frozen from smiling.

Jiang Yan winked at her from a distance, seeming to be more adapted to this kind of occasion than she was.

In the afternoon, while no one was paying attention, Shen Xiaoxia pulled Jiang Yan out of the door and went out for a walk.

"Take you somewhere," Shen Xiaoxia said mysteriously.

The two walked through the bluestone alley and came to the small river at the edge of the town.

The early summer sunshine shines on the water, making the ripples sparkle.

"I used to come here often when I was a kid," Shen Xiaoxia said, taking off her shoes and dipping her feet in the cool water. "When I was thinking, I would sit alone and look at the river."

These are the memories of the original owner, so what she said now is not wrong.

Jiang Yan followed her example and sat down. The cool river water made him sigh comfortably, "It's so comfortable."

"Were you very nervous yesterday?" Shen Xiaoxia tilted her head to look at him.

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head. "I was a little nervous at first, but your family is very nice, especially your dad. Although he doesn't talk much, you can feel that he cares about you. So do the others. So, I wasn't nervous anymore."

"What did you talk about with my dad alone? I wanted to follow him, but my mom stopped me..."

Jiang Yan briefly explained it, and Shen Xiaoxia was a little surprised after hearing it, "Give so much?"

Looking at Shen Xiaoxia's wide eyes, Jiang Yan felt a little itchy and leaned over to peck her on the lips.

Shen Xiaoxia was stunned and immediately looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Jiang Yan, "Be careful of the impact, okay...!"

Jiang Yan chuckled, "I just saw that there was no one around who could do it. Otherwise, how would I dare to do it?"

He took Shen Xiaoxia's hand and shook it, "As long as they agree, I'm willing to do anything."

Shen Xiaoxia looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Aren't you afraid that they'll ask for too much and rip you off?"

Jiang Yan continued to smile, "Your future husband does have some ability to judge people. I also think they really love you. I've always felt guilty about sending you to the countryside, but I'm grateful. If you hadn't gone, I wouldn't have met you...!"

Shen Xiaoxia couldn't refute this, "That's right~"

"So," Jiang Yan shook his clasped hands, "I sincerely thank them."

He looked at Shen Xiaoxia, seriously and sincerely, "Xia Xia, I will make you happy."

As the sun sets, the two return to the Shen family hand in hand.

A large round table has been set up in the yard, and Shen Zhihong and Sun Yufen are setting the table.

"You're back just in time," Shen's mother poked her head out of the kitchen, "Dinner will be served soon!"

This meal was even more sumptuous than yesterday's, and was obviously prepared specially.

After three rounds of drinks, Mr. Shen cleared his throat and everyone quieted down.

"I talked to Jiang Yan today," Father Shen looked around, "We agree to this marriage."

Cheers suddenly rang out at the dinner table. Shen Weidong poured Jiang Yan a glass of white wine and said, "Come on, brother-in-law, have a drink!"

Jiang Yan drank it all in one gulp. He drank too quickly and started coughing due to the spiciness, which made everyone laugh again.

Mother Shen wiped her eyes and said, "Xia Xia has always been a good person since she was young. Now that she has found a good partner, I am relieved."

Father Shen held the wine glass and said, "You and your in-laws have decided on the specific date. What are your plans for the process?"

The two had discussed it before, and Shen Xiaoxia said, "Why don't we hold one at each side? One at their place, and one at ours. That way it'll be lively, and it'll save you the trouble of going back and forth..."

Father Shen thought about it and felt that this was fine. Since there were many relatives at home, it would be more lively if we held a party here. "Okay, then it's settled."

Shen Weidong invited everyone to drink another round, "Come on, another round!"

"Cheers!" Everyone stood up, and the clinking of glasses made a crisp sound.

It was late at night, Jiang Yan was lying in bed, thinking about every detail of the past two days.

After dinner, Shen Nannan went to play with his classmate and said that he would sleep at his classmate's house that night. Jiang Yan was the only one in the room.

There was a gentle knock on the door and Shen Xiaoxia poked her head in.

"Are you still asleep?" she asked quietly.

Jiang Yan sat up and said, "I'm so happy that I can't sleep."

Shen Xiaoxia sat down beside the bed. "Are you not drunk too much? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm not drunk," Jiang Yan held her hand, "Your family is very nice, I'm very happy..."

Shen Xiaoxia smiled, "My dad secretly asked me last night if you were really good to me."

Jiang Yan was a little nervous, but also a little expectant. "So what did you say?"

"I say..." Shen Xiaoxia leaned close to his ear, "You are the best person I have ever met."

Jiang Yan felt a surge of emotion in his heart and was about to say something when he heard Shen's mother coughing outside.

Shen Xiaoxia jumped up like a frightened rabbit, "I, I'll go back to my room first!"

Looking at his girlfriend's back as she ran away in a panic, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

He lay back in bed, listening to the chirping of crickets outside the window, his heart filled with happiness.
