"If that person, who you don't even know, comes to propose marriage, and we don't know each other, how can he be sincere to you?"

Xiao Lan nodded gently. In fact, what Xiao Lan said was all right. What Xiao Ting didn't know was that she had saved Shen Liu's life twice, not once. That was why she decided to marry Shen Liu. After all, marrying Shen Liu was a good choice instead of marrying a stranger. Moreover, deep in her heart, she still recognized Shen Liu very much, although she was mostly worshipping him at present.

Xiaolan returned safely and found a marriage. Xiaoting was naturally very happy. "...but from now on, you may have to live in the capital city all year round, and we sisters will be far away from each other..." Xiaoting thought for a moment and said sadly.

"Sister, why are you afraid of going far? We have carriages and horses, and the roads are easy to travel. Even if we can't see each other every day, it's easy to see each other whenever we want... Even if I can't come back, you can't go to the provincial capital. We have empty houses. What's more, the Bao family also has property in the provincial capital. It's just a matter of a word for you to buy a house in the provincial capital." Xiao Lan said.

Xiaoting smiled and nodded.

"By the way, Sister Xiaoyan, how is the renovation of our house going?" Xiaolan suddenly remembered that Shengxuan said he wanted to renovate the house. Xiaoyan had married and moved to the local village, so it was a piece of cake for her to come back and take a look.

"It's almost done." Xiaoyan said, "My father and his friends have found people from the village to help. We have hired a lot of people here, and we have no shortage of materials. My grandfather and his friends are watching over it every day, and everyone is working non-stop, so the renovation is going very quickly. The house and the yard in the inner courtyard are also tidy, and we can move in right away."

"Then I have to go and take a look." Xiao Lan said.

The three sisters put on their cloaks, and then asked the maid in the house to look after Xiao Niu and Xiaomiao. The three sisters said goodbye to Xin, Zhang and Zhao, and then went out to look at the house.

Zhang heard that Xiaolan wanted to go and see the house, which was exactly what she wanted. One of the important things she wanted to do when she came back this time was to see how her house was renovated. So Zhang said, "Then I'll go with you to see it..."

Xin and Zhao naturally accompanied them. Seeing that her grandmother was also going to go, Xiao Lan advised, "Grandma, don't go. It's cold outside..." In fact, Xin had always lived in front of the house, and she could see how the house was being renovated every day.

Xin was old after all, and she had been worried for years, worrying about the safety of Xiaohu, Xiaoqiang, and Xiaolan. After hearing that the three siblings were all well, she relaxed. In the winter, the house was warm, and she felt sleepy. After hearing what Xiaolan said, she nodded in agreement. After all, they were a family, so there was no need to be so polite.

"Then I won't go. I have to visit your house every day. You guys go ahead." Xin said, "Xiao Niu and Xiao Miao are in the inner room. It's a good opportunity for me to go there too. I'll take them with me."

When they arrived at the destination, Xiao Lan saw Sheng Xuan, Xiao Wen, Sheng Yugui, Zhang Qingfeng, Zhang Qingnian, and Bao Zhanggui standing in the yard looking at the completed new house.

There are mainly three courtyards, one is the main courtyard of Shengxuan and Zhang, and the small courtyards scattered on both sides of the courtyard are Xiaolan and Xiaowen. Xiaolan nodded secretly, and Shengxuan, Zhang and Xiaowen were also very satisfied.

After looking at the house, everyone went back. Sheng Yugui and Bao's family also said goodbye. "You have come all the way back, it's time to have a good rest. We will go back now."

Sheng Xuan and Zhang naturally tried to keep them, but were rejected by Sheng Yugui's family and Bao Zhanggui's family. Both families said that they could not get together at the moment and there would be plenty of time to get together in the future.

As soon as Sheng Yugui and the Bao family left, Sheng Hao, Liu, Xiao Ye and Xiao Tao also came over. Xiao Lan's family was renovating their house, and Sheng Hao and Xiao Tao came to help a lot. Even Liu and Xiao Ye often came to help.

Just now when they were chatting in the front hall, Xin told Zhang and Xiaolan that Shenghao, Liu, Xiaoye and Xiaotao were very dedicated. Shenghao's tofu workshop had been closed, so he brought his family over to take a look.

After being apart for such a long time, everyone was naturally extra close when they met. The little girl brought a fruit plate, and then Zhang told them about Xiaolan and Shen Liu's engagement.

"... In the blink of an eye, Xiaolan has grown up. Time flies so fast..." Liu said, "Looking at your complexion, I can tell at a glance that you are a blessed person."

"What is blessing? I think the greatest blessing is for my family to live in peace and have enough food and drink," Zhang said. "Our family is not as good as the rich, but better than the poor. We have all survived the hard times in the past, and now we are all in a blessed place. Your Xiaoye and Xiaotao are growing up, and you will also enjoy a blessed life in the future."

The two sisters-in-law, Zhang and Liu, have always been very good friends. Both Liu and Zhang are honest daughters-in-law, and they have never had a quarrel before. This is very rare for sisters-in-law who have lived in the old house for such a long time. Zhang knows that Liu envies her, so she often uses words to comfort Liu.

"When Xiaolan gets engaged, we plan to hold the wedding in the city," Zhang told Liu, "When the time comes, please invite everyone to come. We will prepare the carriages and horses, and your family of four will all go..."

"When the time comes, you can live with me, and I will take you to have a good tour of the capital city..." Xiao Lan whispered to Xiao Ye.

When Xiao Lan got married, Sheng Hao and Liu, as her uncle and aunt, naturally had to be present. Therefore, when Xiao Ye heard what Xiao Lan said, she did not refuse politely and nodded directly. She was a little girl who liked the hustle and bustle and was curious about new things. In her heart, she actually yearned for the hustle and bustle of the provincial capital. She also wanted to go to a prosperous place like the provincial capital to broaden her horizons.

"......I will discuss it with Xiaoye's father. We are going a long way to the provincial capital, and we won't know what to do with the food and accommodation there...Besides, you are busy already, and we will just cause trouble if we go...Besides, we are a peasant family, rustic and will be laughed at by others..." Liu did not accept Zhang's invitation, but told Zhang about her concerns.
