After happily and carefully admiring all the treasures she got in the morning, Shen Xiaoxia put them all in order and neatly stacked them together with the treasures she had gotten before.

Then he left the space contentedly and lay down on the bed ready to fall asleep.

Maybe it’s because I took a nap in the afternoon and I’m still energetic, or maybe it’s because I just finished admiring a bunch of treasures and I’m still excited.

I lay in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep at all.

Fortunately, it was not too late, and Shen Xiaoxia was not in a hurry and did not force herself to sleep.

My thoughts wandered here and there, and finally came to Jiang Yan.

I don't know what he is doing now. Is he at home or has he gone to work?

Thousands of miles away, at the Jiang family, Jiang Yan is having a hard time right now.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. People in the village have dinner early, and it is still early after dinner. Now it is winter and they are not busy during the day, so no one goes to bed so early at night.

After the Jiang family finished their dinner, they lit the kang in the main room and talked in the room.

The eldest brother of the Jiang family asked Jiang Yan, "Ayan, how many days can you stay at home?"

In previous years, Jiang Yan would go out within two or three days after the Chinese New Year. I don’t know if he can stay at home for a few more days this year.

If it were before, when the road conditions were better, he would have gone out on the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year. This year, there were several heavy snowfalls before the New Year, but the weather was very good during the Lunar New Year period, with sunny days every day.

Jiang Yan wanted to pick up Shen Xiaoxia and wait until he met Shen Xiaoxia before leaving.

Jiang Yan said, "We haven't decided on a date yet, let's talk about it in a few days."

Hearing this, Jiang's mother was very happy. "That's right. Every time you come back, you only stay for a few days. Even during the Chinese New Year, you can't stay for a few days. You should stay at home longer."

Jiang Yan's temper was not completely understood by the eldest brother of the Jiang family, but at least he understood it to some extent. "How come you've come to your senses this time and are willing to stay home for a few more days?"

Jiang Yan glanced at his elder brother and said casually, "I have something to do, so I'll take a few days off."

Normally, when Jiang Yan said this, the eldest brother of the Jiang family would not ask any further questions. But today, for some reason, he pressed the issue, "Oh? What do you want to do?"

It was just a casual question, and Jiang Yan answered it casually, even if it was just a perfunctory one, and the topic was over.

But Jiang Yan's behavior was very strange. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seemed to be hesitant about something and swallowed his words.

Jiang Yan's hesitation made the eldest brother of the Jiang family wonder if he had encountered something. He asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Yan's personality is the type that he won't tell his family if something happens to him. He is the typical type who only reports good news and not bad news.

The eldest brother's question also made Jiang's father and mother nervous. Jiang's mother followed up with a question, "Did something happen with the transport team? If there really is something, don't keep it to yourself. Tell us and we can help you with some advice."

Jiang Yan saw that everyone's thoughts were drifting further and further away, and he was struggling over whether or not he should tell his family about his relationship.

The main reason was that he was worried that after he told it, based on his understanding of Jiang's mother, Jiang's mother would definitely tell the truth to Shen Xiaoxia. He didn't know whether Shen Xiaoxia would be willing to let his family know.

But if he doesn't tell anyone, he will be driving a sports car outside all year round. If his family knew about it, they would be able to help deal with any urgent matters that Shen Xiaoxia has. Even if there is no urgent matter, they would still be more considerate of her.

Amidst the increasingly anxious expressions of his family, Jiang Yan's thoughts turned around for a few times, and he slowly said, "Nothing at work. It's just my own personal arrangements. I have some appointments with friends, and I'll take care of them before leaving."

It’s better not to tell his family for now. He just confirmed his relationship, and his girlfriend ran away thousands of miles away. He doesn’t feel at ease yet. It’s better to wait until the relationship is stable before telling anyone.

Mother Shen asked uncertainly, "Is everything really okay?"

Jiang Yan smiled helplessly, "Really? No, just relax."

Everyone was relieved and started talking about other topics.

Jiang's eldest sister-in-law had just coaxed her son to sleep and came out to chat with everyone. Seeing that Jiang Yan was free, she winked at Jiang's mother.

When she went home before the New Year, her eldest sister-in-law had a niece who was very well-off in all aspects. After hearing about Jiang Yan's situation, she asked her to help introduce him to someone.

She talked about this with Jiang's mother in the afternoon, and Jiang's mother was also a little interested, so she asked Jiang's mother to test Jiang Yan's attitude.

Although Jiang's mother knew that her son seemed to be interested in a girl in the Youth League Institute, she felt that there was little hope. Jiang Yan was already an adult, so it would be a lie for her to say that she was not in a hurry.

The eldest brother's wife talked to her about it, and after listening to it, she also felt that the other party was good, so she wanted to ask Jiang Yan's opinion.

Seeing the eldest son's wife winking at her, the atmosphere was good at the moment, and since they were all family, she didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, "Ayan, after the New Year, you will be an adult. Isn't it time to think about your lifelong affairs?"

Jiang Yan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. He had just suppressed the thought about this matter, so why did he bring up this topic again?

He rubbed his brows, feeling somewhat helpless. "I have my own ideas about this matter. You guys should stop worrying about it, okay?"

Jiang's mother was a little dissatisfied. "You started saying you had an idea two years ago. How long has it been? Now there's no news at all. We're not asking you to do it right away, but you should at least start looking at each other. This thing can't be done immediately after just looking at each other. You need to take some action, right?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but once she did, Jiang's mother couldn't stop talking. "Many people your age in the village already have children, but you don't even have a partner..."

Seeing Jiang Yan rubbing his forehead and not saying anything, Jiang's mother changed the subject, "Your sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law has a niece. The girl is quite good. She is said to be fair and clean, with a junior high school education, and not short in height. It's a good opportunity for you to go and meet her while you are home these few days?"

Jiang's eldest sister-in-law also chimed in, "Yes, Ah Yan, go and take a look first. If it works, that's the best. If not, that's fine too. What do you think?"

Jiang's father and the eldest brother of the Jiang family were talking, and after listening, they turned their heads and looked at Jiang Yan.

Seeing the whole family staring at him, Jiang Yan felt helpless. He was afraid that today's topic could not be easily brought up. Judging from what his mother said just now, she probably often thought about his lifelong event.

I originally wanted to wait until things stabilized before saying anything, but now it seems I'd better reveal some information first.

After calming down, Jiang Yan looked at Jiang's mother and said, "It's impossible for us to see each other..."

Without waiting for Mother Shen to glare at him, he said, "I already have a partner, so don't worry about me!"
