The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

After the meal, Chang's parents were very satisfied with Jiang Linghan.

He was tactful and spoke appropriately. He drank quite a bit of alcohol but didn't do anything out of line. He was polite yet friendly from beginning to end, and he handled things with perfect tact.

But there are also some worries. This kind of person has both methods and cunning. If he were to play tricks on his own daughter, even ten Chang Nings combined wouldn't be enough for him.

But we can't keep avoiding this topic; that's why they came here, and it would be impolite of them not to bring it up.

Father Chang asked, "Xiao Jiang, what are your thoughts on the matter between you and my Ningning?"

Jiang Linghan stood up, stood at attention, and saluted the two of them. "Uncle and Aunt, I assure you in the name of a soldier that I truly love Ningning and want to marry her. If I do anything to betray her after marriage, you can file a complaint with the army!"

"This concerns my future, and I mean what I say. I hope you two will agree!"

"Sit down, sit down!"

His seriousness caught both of them off guard. Yan Shuqin asked, "What about your parents? Do they know what you're thinking? Do they agree?"

“I have already spoken to my mother about this, and she completely agrees and is already helping me prepare the industrial tickets for the ‘three turns and one sound’! My father fully supports my mother.”

Chang Ning sat to the side, holding a teacup, wishing he could bury his face in it. "Three turns and one sound, aren't those only for the bride price? And he's already starting to prepare these?"

Yan Shuqin was also a little surprised. Looking at her silly daughter, she had only met her a few times. Did she really like her that much?

"Ningning, go to the kitchen and cut some more watermelon!"

"Oh."

Chang Ning knew this was a deliberate attempt to get her away, and she didn't know what was so important that they had to talk about in private.

The watermelons from the morning were all gone, and there was still one drying in the well. Each watermelon weighed over ten kilograms, and she tried to fish it out for a long time but couldn't. So she gave up and wandered around the doorway.

Suddenly, a neighbor walked over, looked into her house, and asked, "Chang Ning, who's here at your house?"

Chang Ning glanced at Tao Hongdou and said, "She's my girlfriend."

"What?" Tao Hongdou exclaimed in surprise, "You have a boyfriend? Which village is he from? Who is he? What does he do?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

Chang Ning hid in the shade, not wanting to pay attention to her.

She's wearing the pink dress Jiang Linghan bought her yesterday. It looks nice, but it's not breathable. Fortunately, she's only in the sun and hasn't been sweating much.

She spent half the morning fussing over her hair, braiding two pigtails and tying a yellow fabric hair tie made from scraps to the end of each braid. Both colors were very bright and looked quite vibrant in an era dominated by gray, blue, and green.

Tao Hongdou looked at her clothes and saw that it was a new dress. Then she looked down at herself, wearing a blue top and gray pants with a patch on the leg. Standing next to Chang Ning, she looked like an ugly duckling.

Moreover, Chang Ning has naturally fair skin, and even if she gets tanned, she can quickly regain her fair complexion, which is quite unlike someone who grew up in a village.

She bit her lip: "I have a boyfriend too!"

So what if Chang Ning is beautiful? She can only marry a farmer. Her boyfriend is a regimental commander, which is definitely better than Chang Ning's boyfriend. When they get married, she will buy a lot of beautiful clothes.

Chang Ning asked, "Where is your boyfriend from? I've never seen him before?"

Tao Hongdou gets angry just thinking about it. That day, she was going to the county town to meet the regimental commander. But as soon as she stepped out of her house and was about to take the village's oxcart, she tripped over a stone that came out of nowhere. Her knee fell to the ground and scraped her skin, with blood seeping out. It was burning painful!

Now I can't go to the county town either, and I don't know where to contact the regimental commander in the next few days. I'm really worried about this.

Hearing Chang Ning's question, he snorted, "You'll see soon enough."

Chang Ning watched her retreating figure, snorted, and turned to go inside.

Yan Shuqin saw her come in empty-handed and asked, "Where's the watermelon?"

Chang Ning said, "I can't fish him out of the well!"

"Why didn't you come and tell me sooner? You've been dawdling outside for ages!"

Chang Ning was so submissive and hesitant. Wasn't this giving them time to talk? And now it's her fault!

Chang Jun said, "Ningning, come sit down, I'll get it ready."

Jiang Linghan stood up: "No need, elder brother. Yesterday, my mother entrusted me with a trip to the Tao family."

After visiting the Tao family, it was getting late, and it wasn't appropriate to stay any longer.

He had just told the Chang family about the connection between his family and the Tao family. Chang's father nodded and said, "It's time to make the trip. Go ahead, and come back for some tea when you're done!"

"Okay uncle."

Chang Ning stood at the door, and as Jiang Linghan passed by, he whispered, "Wait for me to come back."

The Chang and Tao families were just a few steps apart. When Jiang Linghan arrived, only Tao Hongdou and her mother were home. Tao's mother had been sighing, but her eyes lit up as soon as she saw him: "Little Jiang, I'm so sorry. My daughter Hongdou made an appointment with you last time, but she suddenly had a stomachache and couldn't go. I haven't been able to contact you since. I've been worried about you these past few days. Come in quickly, let's meet at home today!"

"No need, Auntie. I'm going back to my post tomorrow. I came here today to say goodbye."

He took out ten yuan from his pocket. "I don't know when we'll meet again. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Tao's mother instinctively reached out her hand, then immediately withdrew it: "How can that be? You already brought a lot of things last time you came, how can I take your money again!"

But her eyes kept glancing at his hand. Ten yuan was enough for a family in the countryside to eat and drink for a long time. Jiang Linghan said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't be shy."

His mother asked him to buy some more things, but on the one hand, he mainly came to the Chang family today, and it would look bad if he divided up the things he brought; on the other hand, he had already given gifts last time, so after thinking it over, it would be more appropriate and convenient to just take the money directly.

Tao's mother looked at it again and again, and finally reached out to take it, immediately stuffing it into her pocket: "Alright, then I'll accept it!"

Then he said, "Regarding your marriage to Hongdou..."

“Auntie, I already have a boyfriend!” Jiang Linghan interrupted her, “It’s inappropriate for you to say that. Don’t tarnish Hongdou’s reputation.”

"what?"

Tao's mother was stunned: "When did you get a boyfriend? Didn't you say last time that you were looking at my Hongdou for a date?"

"Red Bean didn't come last time, I guess we weren't meant to be."

Jiang Linghan had just learned about Chang Ning's actions from his future mother-in-law. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he just thought his wife was adorable.

That day, when he passed by the Chang family's gate, he noticed a gaze fixed on him. He took the opportunity to turn around and glance back, only to see a young girl holding a lotus seedpod, lost in thought.

At that moment, he couldn't quite describe his feelings; he only felt as if ripples were spreading across a calm lake.

But when he saw her again the next day, he realized just how surprised he was, and that feeling was called being moved.

"I had already successfully gone on a blind date with another girl that day, and I went to her house to propose marriage today."

Tao's mother was struck dumb. She had just missed out on such a perfect husband.

"By the way, it's quite a coincidence."

Jiang Linghan: "You know that girl too, she's Chang Ning, who lives next door to you."

"Who are you talking about?"

Tao Hongdou suddenly rushed out from the inner room.
