Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?
Chapter 14 No One Comes to Propose Marriage
Everyone in the Ji family returned to their rooms with excitement.
Father Ji lay in bed, tossing and turning, his heart filled with excitement and emotion. He gently nudged Mother Ji beside him, his voice trembling with a barely perceptible tremor: "Finally, our family is going to build a new house. My heart is in turmoil, and I can't sleep."
Mother Ji turned around and held Father Ji's rough hand: "Yes, I didn't expect to build a new house soon. This house is someone else's old house that we bought when we split up the family. We have lived in it for so many years after renovating it. In the past, I always thought that we would wait until our sons grew up before slowly planning to build a new house. Now it seems that we are enjoying the blessing of warmth in advance."
Father Ji agreed with emotion: "Nuannuan has been sensible, smart and studious since she was young. Now that she has grown up, she is even more capable."
"Those gossipers in the village always look down on our beloved Nuannuan. If they knew how capable Nuannuan is, I'm afraid they would really snatch my daughter from me." Mother Ji said this with some pride, then thought of something and slowly said, "Nuannuan was born to be rich and noble. It's really unfair for her to grow up in our family."
Father Ji patted her and said, "Go to sleep and don't think too much."
When the Ji family was so excited about building a new house that they couldn't sleep, Ji Nuan also didn't sleep.
The space, which hadn't been checked for two days, seemed to have undergone subtle changes. Ji Nuan probed into the space. Grass sprouts were emerging in the wet areas surrounding the water ball.
Ji Nuan felt an indescribable excitement in her heart. Perhaps the space had accidentally upgraded its planting function due to the presence of the water ball. This meant that she could finally plant in the space and even cultivate precious herbs that were difficult to find in the outside world.
To verify her hypothesis, Ji Nuan quickly selected two herbs from her stash and planted them in the damp soil. Then, she used her supernatural powers to try to stimulate the growth of the two herbs. As if sensing the call of her supernatural powers, the newly planted plants began to grow at an astonishing rate. Ji Nuan could clearly sense a surge of vitality, confirming the function of the space.
Ji Nuan smiled with her almond-shaped eyes curved, and happily planted all the herbs she had stored before into the moist soil.
He brushed off the grass clippings on his hands, put his hands on his hips and thought for a while, then moved the large wide-mouthed vat originally prepared for the water ball to the middle of the planting area and carefully placed the water ball into it.
As the water ball slowly releases water, the bottom of the vat quickly fills with water, and the water ball continues to float and rotate leisurely on the surface. The water in the vat is not only pure but also contains vital energy, making it suitable for daily drinking. When the vat overflows, the water naturally seeps into the surrounding soil, continuing to nourish the surrounding land.
Ji Nuan named this mysterious water ball the "Life Pearl." Just like itself, it could continuously produce life-giving water. The water produced by the Life Pearl was called "Life Water."
The night was already deep, with little time left until the second half of the night. Ji Nuan, unfazed by sleep, simply rose and headed for the forest. Before setting off, she drank a large glass of vitality water. The clear, sweet liquid slid down her throat, clearing her meridians and making her feel refreshed. A warm and powerful energy surged through her body, and Ji Nuan had a hunch that tonight would bring something even more special.
Sure enough, after two weeks of the supernatural power running in the body, as Ji Nuan expected, it finally made a breakthrough and reached the early stage of level four.
Ji Nuan didn't stop practicing until the east began to brighten. Standing in the woods, she stretched her muscles, which had become slightly stiff from long hours of practice. She took a deep breath, letting the fresh air and the unique scent of the forest fill her chest. A refreshed smile spread across her face.
The next few days were a busy time for the Ji family. The men in the family searched for a suitable plot of land, discussed the building plan with the craftsmen, and personally selected the building materials to ensure the new home was sturdy and comfortable.
In addition to practicing her supernatural powers every day, traveling through the mountains and forests with Jixiang, collecting various precious medicinal herbs, and repairing the wooden house in the peach forest, Ji Nuan also takes time to draw blueprints, refine medicine, and entertain the children at home.
That afternoon, my second sister-in-law pushed open the gate of the yard with a basket of vegetables and a depressed look on her face.
"What's wrong? Who made you angry?" the sister-in-law asked with concern while hanging clothes.
"Who else could it be? My aunt-in-law told Ji He about the people in the city, and they are showing off all over the village!" The second sister-in-law curled her lips in disdain and started taking vegetables out of the basket.
Ji's mother was making shoes under the eaves. She looked up at her and said calmly, "What's there to be angry about? Her hen laid two eggs and everyone in the village knew about it."
"I'm not angry because her Ji He said we were a good family. But she not only showed off, but also had to drag down our Nuan Nuan." The second sister-in-law was very angry.
Ji Nuan was sitting on a small stool teaching Jin Dou'er to read. Upon hearing this, she smiled playfully and said, "How did she put me down?"
The second sister-in-law put down the dish in her hand and acted smugly, "My Xiaohe is good at cooking and working in the fields. No wonder some good families like her. Come to think of it, Ji Nuan from Xiaomei's family seems to be a few months older than my Xiaohe, and there has never been a matchmaker to propose marriage." The second sister-in-law imitated the tone perfectly.
Ji Nuan didn't expect that her second sister-in-law had a hidden funny personality, and she burst out laughing.
"Mother! Should we just let her ruin Nuannuan's reputation all over the village?" Second Sister-in-law stamped her feet anxiously and asked Mother Ji for advice. She looked as if Mother Ji would just wave her hand and she would rush out and start fighting.
"How can we manage it? Who can reason with her?" Ji's mother replied indifferently, "She'll be showing off to me in no time."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Just as Ji's mother finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door.
"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, are you home?" The voice echoed throughout the yard before anyone came in.
"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?" Ji's mother stood up and asked.
The aunt-in-law waved her hands and said proudly, "Well, Xiaohe has told the people in the city that the matchmaker will come the day after tomorrow. Remember to come when the time comes!"
"Oh! Xiaohe has already mentioned her. Why haven't I heard you mention her before?" Ji's mother pretended to have just found out and asked in surprise.
"It happened this morning. Look, I just came to your house after it was decided." The aunt said with a beaming face, "The boy is from the provincial capital. He is tall, strong and well-built. His parents run a grocery store. If my little He marries him, she will enjoy a good life straight away!"
"Okay, okay, Xiaohe is a blessed child." Ji's mother knew how to please others.
The aunt looked at Ji Nuan and said, "Oh! Xiaomei, your Ji Nuan is two months older than Xiaohe. It's time for her to get married. It's the right thing for a girl to find a good home."
Ji Nuan smiled and said, "What my aunt said is true, but I'm still young, so there's no need to rush now."
"How can I not be anxious? From the time of proposal to marriage, it takes quite a while." The aunt-in-law looked genuinely concerned for her. "My nephew from my mother's family is a good-looking man with a good family life. He's a perfect match for you! When will someone come to propose marriage?"
"Let's not do that. Auntie knows me. I can't even do laundry or cook. Are we a bad match?" Ji Nuan quickly refused.
