Xiandong returned home in a very bad mood, and saw his brothers washing up. Dad’s room still had the light on.

He originally thought about sharing a room with Dad, but in the end he went into his brothers’ room.

The two young ones were quite tired from the day, and fell asleep without saying much.

He stared at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened. Now he deeply regretted choosing this job. It felt like a chicken rib: tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.

He wanted to come back, but sensed that even if he returned, there wouldn’t be any good opportunities. After coming back from the Capital, Wei Kaiyun had been very cold towards him.

Was it because of that incident? Because he didn’t listen?

But why did he have to listen? That place really wasn’t right for him, he couldn’t stay there anymore.

Xiandong was frustrated inside, and also resented Wei Kaiyun. Why couldn’t he understand him?

Although he took a nap in the afternoon, being young, he hadn’t slept after his night shift, so he fell into a deep sleep.

Chaoyang stayed at the Wei Family until they began to wash up, then went back.

He was extremely excited. After tomorrow, he could legitimately be with Jingchu.

Everyone could see his good mood. Shi Jing teased, "Brother Chaoyang, your smile is too silly."

"I want to! I’m happy."

Feifei smiled at Chaoyang, "But my Sister Jingchu hasn’t really married you yet. And even if she marries you in the future, if you’re not good to her, she’ll leave you just the same."

Chaoyang looked pitifully at Feifei, "I promise, I’ll be good to your Sister Jingchu for a lifetime. Please don’t hold me back."

"Haha, let me tell you, we’re all behind Sister Jingchu, even if she’s at fault, we’ll support her."

"I know, I’m aware."

The group watched the two children make things difficult for Chaoyang and found it quite amusing.

Jingchu felt a subtle sense of gratitude. She also had people standing up for her.

It wasn’t early, and Chaoyang went home. After washing up, everyone went to rest.

Early the next morning, Chaoyang came running over. He hadn’t slept a wink last night. He was so excited, he didn’t know what to do.

"Chaoyang, join us for breakfast."

Lv Beiguang looked at the boy, finding it quite amusing himself; they all experienced young times, but never like this.

"Uncle Lv, my parents are coming over soon."

"Yes, I’m waiting for them." Today is the day to discuss the engagement, of course he had to wait.

His son was about to get married, and his daughter was getting engaged too. He also truly felt old.

The whole family stayed home, all waiting together.

At the Li Family table, "Where’s Chaoyang?"

"He left early." Qu Xiaoli really had no choice. It was against the rules, but she turned around and he was gone. Oh well, let him go.

Li Yungui didn’t say anything either, his son was finally fulfilling his own wish, so the disruption was understandable.

Wang Menglin found it amusing; this young brother-in-law was really enthusiastic. Then again, given Lv Jingchu’s looks, surely all men would like her, even her older cousin once had such thoughts.

Guodong served Li Xue breakfast, the young couple was sweet and affectionate. The Li Family was long accustomed to it. That’s just how they were.

Wang Menglin sighed inwardly, if only Xiao Zhen could find someone like Lv Guodong, that would be great. Ever since seeing Lv Guodong here, that girl hadn’t come around. She still hadn’t moved on, still avoiding.

This sister-in-law had really good fortune, finding such a good man. Truly enviable.

After breakfast, Guodong and Li Xue returned to the Wei Family first, since it was about discussing their own sister’s engagement.

The family all smiled watching the young couple come in. Jiang Xinyu sighed inwardly, she hadn’t expected Guodong to remain such a warm man, truly good to his wife.

"Dad, my second uncle and aunt are tidying up." Li Xue sat cheerfully by Lv Beiguang’s side.

"How are you? You don’t feel unwell, do you?"

"I’m fine."

Within ten minutes, Li Yungui and his wife arrived. Jiang Xinyu noticed the Village Chief Li had changed into new clothes, which showed how much he valued the engagement.

"Second Brother Li, please sit." Lv Beiguang stood to greet them.

"In-laws, we’ve become the closest of relatives." Li Yungui placed the gift Chaoyang prepared yesterday on the table.

"Indeed, the Li Family’s daughter marrying into our Lv Family, and our Lv Family’s daughter marrying into your Li Family; we’ve truly become the closest relatives."

Qu Xiaoli laughed and chimed in, "In-laws, you know Chaoyang has just over half a month before returning to the Capital. As for the engagement date, it can only be chosen from these days. Look, these are the days I’ve picked."

"Sister-in-law, I’m aware of the situation." Lv Beiguang stood to take the piece of paper.

They were all in days after May 1st; Chaoyang was leaving on the 20-something.

"Second Brother Li, Sister-in-law, how does the 10th sound?"

The Li couple naturally had no objections. Thus, the engagement date for the pair was set.

"In-laws, the engagement date is settled. What about the wedding?"

Lv Beiguang chuckled, "Jingchu is still young, let’s wait until she’s of age to discuss wedding dates."

The Li couple had considered this, but still felt a little disappointed.

For Chaoyang, being able to get engaged was already very satisfactory. When his parents brought up marriage, he was even more excited, but he knew he and Xue’er could never be like Xue’er and Guodong, and would follow the normal course.

Realizing this, he just foolishly grinned on the side, which Jingchu found dazzlingly silly but also felt joy inwardly, as if everything settled.

Afterwards, she and Chaoyang, barring unusual situations, would be a couple. So they were family now.

Chaoyang’s place in her heart was different now; he was among family members.

Chaoyang had no idea his accidental actions had changed his place in Jingchu’s heart.

Because both Lv Beiguang and Li Yungui were very busy, they didn’t speak much politely; the two directly went to the distillery.

Qu Xiaoli didn’t know whether to laugh or feel helpless; they hadn’t even discussed the engagement gifts.

"Xiao Jiang, the engagement gift for Jingchu is the same as for Meng Lin, fifty yuan, two outfits, and a pair of shoes."

Jiang Xinyu nodded with a smile, "That’s fine. It’s quite reasonable. It’s very considerate."

"I’ve always liked Jingchu. I just felt my family wasn’t worthy, so I never dared to mention it."

Jingchu was a little embarrassed at the praise. "Auntie."

"Jingchu, I’m serious; although you don’t talk much, at my age, of course I can see you’re a truly good girl. Auntie always hoped you and Chaoyang would live well."
