"Hold on a second!"
After listening for a while to the conversation between his precious granddaughter and youngest son, Mrs. Zeng suddenly patted the kang and interrupted Yuan Bao and Yuan Yindi’s conversation.
"Xiao Wu, tell clearly, what’s the situation with that girl?"
"And what’s going on between you two?"
"Don’t you know these are the rules for discussing marriage?"
At this mont, Mrs. Zeng felt exactly the sa as Old Yuan, thinking this youngest son was really out of line. They were discussing marriage, yet he hadn’t even ntioned it to the family.
Even though the Yuan Family is just an ordinary farming family, they still need to observe proper etiquette and adhere to customs.
In marriages, it’s the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words.
The three matchmakers and six engagents, all of these are necessary.
"Uh, I..."
Yuan Yindi was instantly dumbfounded.
All he knew was Ruan Wan’s na, but he had no clue about Ruan Wan’s family situation.
"What ’uh,’ just speak up!"
Mrs. Zeng was so angry she snatched the feather duster from Old Yuan’s hands and directly swiped at Yuan Yindi’s arm.
But it was winter, and with all the thick layers, Mrs. Zeng’s strike didn’t cause Yuan Yindi any real harm, not even enough to make him itch.
"Mom, I only know her na, I don’t know her family situation!"
"...?!"
Upon hearing Yuan Yindi’s words, not only Mrs. Zeng and Old Yuan, but even Yuan Bao was quite clueless.
Alright, even Yuan Bao didn’t know the background of her Ruan sister.
"Husband, hit him!"
After a brief silence, Mrs. Zeng tossed the feather duster to Old Yuan; this youngest son still needed so discipline. A young tree won’t grow straight without so tough trimming.
"Dad, please don’t be impulsive!"
Seeing his father pick up the feather duster, Yuan Yindi quickly spoke up and swiftly picked up Yuan Bao, saying, "Jiaojiao, hurry, say sothing, you can’t just sit by and watch!"
"Grandpa, how about waiting to hit later?"
Yuan Bao was also quite speechless.
She had always thought her little uncle was amazing; it turned out, sotis, he was quite unreliable.
"Give my dad two days to get to the bottom of it?"
To shift her grandfather’s attention, Yuan Bao decisively changed the way she addressed her little uncle.
Sure enough, with the change in her address, Old Yuan amiably put down the feather duster.
"You kid, you got two days, figure it out!"
"Since you plan to marry the girl, we mustn’t lose our manners!"
"Yes, yes, I’ll go find out right away!"
Having dodged a bullet, Yuan Yindi spun around with Yuan Bao in his arms, then placed her back down on the kang, "Jiaojiao, now stay at ho and keep Grandpa and Grandma company, I’ll be off!"
With that, he slipped away.
Watching her sowhat embarrassed little uncle, Yuan Bao found it quite amusing.
Only after Yuan Yindi left did Yuan Bao rember that she ca back this ti to help soone bring gifts to her grandparents. These gifts, naturally, had been prepared by Ruan Wan.
"Grandpa, Grandma, these are gifts my sister Ruan asked to bring you!"
Yuan Bao quickly found the bundle Yuan Yindi had brought back and fished out the gifts prepared by Ruan Wan.
For Old Yuan, there was a pair of fur gloves, and for Mrs. Zeng, a uniquely embroidered headscarf.
Not expensive gifts, but definitely practical.
Most importantly, these were all handmade by Ruan Wan.
