CHAPTER 355: 355. PROPOSAL, CONCERNS, MOOD

Even the latest model he picked out for his wife was given away by Ning Jianshe as a gift, not expecting this twist. Alright! No problem at all!

As long as their Xiao Yue didn’t give away his heartfelt gift so easily, just a few hair dryers—what chance does that hold against a home appliance merchant like him?

To the eldest sister-in-law, the youngest sister-in-law, and several nieces, each gets one!

Even Wu Yinghong and Su Hongying received one each. Ning doesn’t leave one person out of his generosity. Everyone usually gets along like family, and spending around a hundred bucks, it’s like a token of thoughtfulness.

After the grand ’wholesale’ of hair dryers, everyone gathered to chat idly.

As they talked, the topic naturally veered towards little Yanzi Lian Li’s one-month celebration.

"Our little Li is the youngest of this generation and came so hard-won. I say, even if it’s lively, there’s nothing wrong. Right, old nephew?" Ning Jianshe, with a particularly loving gaze and tone, said as he shook little Lian Li in his arms.

For several years, there had been no new births, and as the youngest of several families, even Lian Li’s dark skin couldn’t dampen everyone’s affection for him.

Above all, Ning Jianshe was the one who cherished having a thriving family the most, never thinking too many sons was a bad thing.

He visits at least once a day, and as long as little Lian Li is awake, he insists the eldest brother-in-law carry the child into the living room for him to relish.

Afraid of the baby catching cold, he actively closes the fan and windows each time. He sits honestly in the steaming room, happily holding little Lian Li.

That loving look! It vaguely makes one realize: when he said if he knew the college years would bring strict family planning, he wouldn’t have gone to school but stayed home...

Perhaps, really, he wasn’t joking!

Having long yearned for and finally awaiting the old son, Shuzhen couldn’t wait to announce it to the world.

Ideally, she’d throw a banquet for five hundred tables with films, lion dances, and performances, celebrating for three days and nights.

After all, her parents left a solid foundation, and she’s got extraordinary abilities and has always been good at making money.

Zero financial pressure, spending as much doesn’t distress her.

But...

"I want to celebrate for little Yanzi, but even with fines and donations paid, I can’t change the fact he’s an extra birth! Celebrating lavishly might be a loophole." Hearing Lianshan’s recount, Shuzhen helplessly spread her hands. Some matters, though they fear nothing, they’d want no association.

They straightforwardly blame adhering to nonsense legalities for harming her good grandson.

At one point the scene lost control, even the police station intervened.

But this was just a trivial matter.

At such an unprecedented moment, even if Shuzhen was extremely joyous, she dared not openly celebrate with a grand banquet for the extra-born son’s first month!

"Jianshe is fond of children and considers how precious they are, thus suggesting this. However, compared to thorough consideration, he’s evidently far behind my wife!" Lianshan laughed, hurriedly lending Shuzhen praises.

Returning to the living room, he smilingly refused his brother-in-law’s proposal.

"Sister-in-law’s concerns are right; I was too focused on your late-born son being hard-won and forgot this point. Indeed, at such a time, being cautious is best." Embarrassment tinged Ning Jianshe after giving a well-intentioned but unwise suggestion.

But the eldest sister-in-law cherishing little Li like her own eyes, eagerly grasping the moon and diving deep for treasures, with her rationality considering all aspects, was genuinely uncommon.

No wonder men like the elder brother-in-law willingly become obediently wife-governed.

Although strongly advised by his master, he ultimately didn’t miss the final exam.

With an eagerness to return home, Lian En still bought a train ticket for four in the afternoon after the last exam day, planning to submit his test papers at the fastest speed; the moment exams allowed submissions, he’d be the first to hand in.

He took his luggage to the exam venue, dragging it directly to the train station after exams.

As for his master being a grading teacher, needing at least a week to return?

No problem, you grade your papers, I’ll return home.

A week later, the production brigade of the Liu family village would gather once more.

Nineteen years old, a young man traveling independently posed no issue for him!

Feng Ju, fueled with wrath, contemplated retrieving his foolish disciple from the train station for clarification, worried? Who worried?

Not worried at all about his well-traveled disciple losing himself, purely vexed over the kid’s utmost filial piety!

In his thoughts and heart, caring solely for his dad, mom, and siblings.

Wishing he could graduate and return home promptly, spending his life around Liu family village’s mountains and waters, nearby his parents, injecting every bit of filial deeds, he’s never hidden such intentions!

As one receiving similar filial acts, Feng Ju felt absolutely comforted.

But without any ambition, isn’t it wasting his abundant talents?

Finally, as summer break arrives, allowing him to return home for nearly two months, Lian En pays no mind to his master’s reaction!

He only wishes to return—quickly, soon, sooner—to see his parents and siblings.

Having not met for four months, he plans to individually embrace his parents.

Thanking his father for the generous and kind heart, treating him like a treasure. Even the three sisters, similar to their mother more in gender and appearance, step back before him when it comes to paternal affection.

The father’s love provided him with full moral perspectives and fine character.

Without his father, no present-day Lian En would exist.

He also thanks his mother for still deciding to give birth, nurture him, grant him life, and instill gratitude.

Grateful for the current blissful family, exceptional father, and the deeply caring siblings she gave.
