474: The betrothal gifts included a pair of live geese.

At Father Lu's house.

Mother Lu had brought all the good things from their home into the living room of the suite.

"Old Lu, look at these."

"These are the gifts I picked out for Niannian."

"This is very good. Grandpa and Grandma have also prepared gifts. This is the money we saved, ten thousand and one yuan."

Father Lu took out the savings book, which had ten thousand and one yuan specifically saved in it.

"Not bad."

Mother Lu looked at the savings book and nodded happily.

"I thought you didn't understand these things."

"These four items are what I'll take to the Gu Family tomorrow. As for the rest, let Xiao Jing deliver them to Niannian's house..."

"My wife, you're truly wonderful."

Father Lu praised with a smile.

"Hmph, you're only realizing how good I am now?"

Mother Lu thought of what happened before and glared at her husband.

"You two, father and son, did you think I wouldn't like Niannian?"

Father Lu rubbed his nose.

"I didn't think that."

"You did think that."

Mother Lu gave her husband a punch, which he caught.

"How could I not like such an excellent child, who is also so much like my sister-in-law? If Lu Jing wasn't my son, I would have to thoroughly vet her future husband..."

"Those people before were trying to get close to Xiao Jing. If I hadn't acted that way, who knows how many more would have come forward. Our two families have decided on the marriage, and it won't change..."

"My wife is the best..."

After Xiao Niannian woke up in the morning, she went out for a five-kilometer run.

It was quiet outside today. Lu Jing and Shen Yan weren't there, but Xiao Niannian didn't mind. After her five-kilometer run, she returned home to wash up.

As soon as she finished washing up, she heard sounds from downstairs.

"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu..."

It wasn't just Lu Jing's voice, but also Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu's voices. Xiao Niannian also heard Father Lu and Mother Lu's voices, and not only that, but also Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen's voices.

Everyone greeted each other.

"Old Gu, Sister-in-law, today, entrusted by Old Lu and Sister-in-law, we are here at your house to propose marriage..."

Hearing this, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu looked at Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.

"Niannian is a good child, and Xiao Jing has also grown up under your watchful eyes..."

The elders spoke kind words, and Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu listened to them.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, we really like Niannian. We will treat Niannian like our own daughter and protect her at all times, never letting her suffer any grievances..."

Father Lu promised.

"Old Lu is right, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, I, your niece-in-law, also really like Niannian. It's our honor to have such a daughter-in-law..."

Xiao Niannian recognized Mother Lu's voice.

She hadn't met Mother Lu many times before, and she hadn't felt Mother Lu showing any dislike.

Listening to Mother Lu's joyful words now, Xiao Niannian was slightly surprised.

Lu Jing sat up straight, feeling a bit nervous.

Although his Grandparents, Father, and Mother were all here, Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu might not immediately agree to him and Niannian. Moreover, he had already submitted a dating report first.

Seeing Lu Jing's nervous look, Father Gu looked at Father Lu again. Hmph, it's understandable for Lu Jing to be so nervous, but why is Old Lu so happy, grinning with his big teeth, what's he so foolishly happy about?

His daughter wasn't that easy to marry.

After talking for a while, Grandpa Gu spoke first.

"Regarding the proposal, we need to ask Niannian for her own opinion. Although our two families have a marriage contract, that's no longer in fashion..."

"Xiao Jing, go upstairs and call Niannian down. She's reading upstairs right now."

Niannian, who was listening to the commotion downstairs, heard her Grandpa's words and smiled.

"Yes."

Lu Jing immediately got up and ran towards the stairs.

A few seconds later, he heard Lu Jing's knock on the door.

Xiao Niannian opened the door and looked at Lu Jing with some surprise.

Lu Jing saw Niannian's surprised expression and smiled.

He had long known that Niannian's hearing was excellent.

"Niannian, my Grandparents, Father, and Mother are here. I've come to ask for your hand in marriage."

Hearing Lu Jing say this, Xiao Niannian looked at the affection in his eyes, and her heart pounded.

At the same time, she also heard Lu Jing's heart thumping.

"Mm."

Lu Jing held Niannian's hand, his eyes sparkling like stars.

"Let's go down."

Lu Jing led Niannian by the hand to the staircase, then immediately let go. At a time like this, if his future father-in-law saw them, he would definitely be angry.

He'd hold Niannian's hand again later.

As the two walked down side by side, everyone present had the same thought.

What a perfect pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl, truly a match made in heaven.

Their temperaments were very similar, their appearances were exceptionally outstanding, and their steps were in sync, showing great tacit agreement.

All the Grandparents also nodded in approval.

Xiao Niannian walked down and greeted the elders.

"Grandparents..."

Shen Mo and Shen Yan stood not far away, and Shen Yan whispered.

"Brother Lu really got lucky to find someone like Sister Xiao..."

Shen Mo nodded, he strongly agreed with his brother's opinion.

Xiao Niannian stood beside her Grandparents, and Grandma Gu began to talk about the Lu Family's visit today.

"Niannian, today your Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, and their whole family have come to propose marriage for Xiao Jing... Do you agree?"

Xiao Niannian heard her Grandma's words, looked at everyone, and then her gaze fell on Lu Jing.

"I do."

Lu Jing's hands clenched into fists, very nervous. Although he knew Niannian would agree, he was still nervous.

"Good, good, good, then this matter is settled."

Grandma Gu nodded with a smile.

Then she looked at Grandma Lu and Grandma Shen.

"These are our betrothal gifts..."

Looking at the four boxes, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were very happy.

"Xiao Jing even specially prepared a pair of wild geese."

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were not surprised by the betrothal gifts. They had seen all kinds of betrothal gifts, and the Gu Family also had many good things.

However, a pair of wild geese was extremely rare.

It had been many years since anyone had given live wild geese as a betrothal gift.

"Open them up and let's see."

The pair of wild geese were kept in a red cardboard box. Earlier, they had heard movement and thought it might be geese or something similar, but they never expected it to be a pair of live wild geese.

After Lu Jing opened the box and saw the pair of wild geese inside, also tied with beautiful ribbons, the elders all laughed.

"Did Xiao Jing hunt these?"

"That's not easy."

Father Gu looked at this and viewed Lu Jing with a bit more favor. He didn't expect this kid, Lu Jing, to actually go and catch a pair of live wild geese to bring over.

Wild geese that weren't injured were not something ordinary gifts could compare to.

"Truly excellent."

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Yan, you two should learn more from Xiao Jing."

"These wild geese are really beautiful."
