Chapter 230 Make up your mind
Fang Yi and Xu Tianying met at the station
Her idea was to go back and get engaged first, have a meal together, and then get the marriage certificate after she turned 20 and graduated from college. She was afraid that Xu Tianying and his family would not be able to wait, and that her father would not be able to hold on until then.
She asked Xu Tianying what he thought, and he obviously had no objection, saying that getting engaged first was fine.
"National Day... don't you need to stay?" Fang Yi asked him, not wanting him to delay her business. Xu Tianying shook his head and said, "They didn't plan for me to come back before National Day."
The drills and other things had been arranged, and he was not included. The higher-ups gave him a few days off, saying that he could go back and deal with important matters in his life.
"I went to Shen's house for dinner yesterday. How was it?"
Fang Yi told him about this matter and asked about the situation today. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, she knew that the situation yesterday must not be good.
Fang Yi looked at him, hesitant to speak, and finally asked, "You and Commander Ji have a good relationship?"
"Yes!" Xu Tianying nodded, "Please ask him to look after you before I leave."
"...Alas, last night...Sister Yan got slapped because of me."
Xu Tianying's focus was off: "Who wants to hit you? The Shen family?"
He looked a bit intimidating when his face darkened, but Fang Yi was not afraid. She thought, right? This wouldn't hurt their brotherly relationship.
"It doesn't matter! The point is..."
"This is very important! I want to know who wants to hit you!" Xu Tianying said stubbornly. The two looked at each other for a moment. In fact, he had already ruled out the target and was just waiting for her to confirm.
"unimportant."
"important."
"unimportant."
"important."
The two of them argued all the way, and after a few hours of train ride, when they returned to the village, Fang Yi walked in front and Xu Tianying walked behind.
"Why are you following me?"
"Send you back."
"Okay, my house is just up the hill, and you are not allowed to follow me."
"No."
Xu Tianying usually spoke little, but he responded to her every word. Fang Yi was so angry that she walked away in two steps.

Shen's Family
The old man has been unable to sleep and eat these days. He has not slept in his room on the second floor and has been looking at old photos.
Shen Luoyan's face had not healed yet, so she couldn't take her son back. Her words of persuading the old man to take a rest had little effect, so she had to call Shen Yu to come back and help persuade him.
Shen Yu said: "Dad doesn't even listen to you, so he won't listen to me either."
"What should we do then?" Shen Luoyan was afraid that the old man's health would really fail. "Uncle, please discuss it with my dad."
Shen Yu said ok on the other end of the phone.
"Grandpa, I asked Auntie to make you something light, shall we eat?"
She ran upstairs and stood at the door, poked her head out to ask the old man, and when he didn't respond, she walked in quietly.
"Grandpa...?" She lowered her voice and found that he was lying on a chair, holding a photo frame with his eyes closed, and seemed to be asleep.
She took a blanket from the side and covered the old man with it, and then closed the window a little.
"...Xiao Yan," the old man said suddenly, startling her, "Does your face still hurt?"
"...It doesn't hurt anymore." She was lying
"Do you think... did Grandpa do something wrong?" The old man murmured, as if he was asking Shen Luoyan or himself.
He doted on his only daughter. Before the eldest daughter got married, he basically agreed with whatever Shen Qin wanted to do. He even turned a blind eye to her antics when she said she wanted to go to the countryside and come back, until she got married into the Ji family as she wished.
As a father, he was neither conscientious nor responsible. He only regretted that he had not taught his daughter well when he was young, which led to her being selfish and unable to distinguish right from wrong.
"Grandpa...I don't have the final say on this matter." Shen Luoyan came to squat beside him, "You must have the answer in your heart."
The old man smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I might become confused?"
"Grandpa, everyone says that our family is foxes, so aren't you the smartest one?"
Amused by her words, the old man touched her head and said with some comfort: "Then grandpa will do as you said and go downstairs to eat something."
"Shall I serve it?"
The old man gave in, and she immediately ordered him to serve the porridge and side dishes, and also brought two steamed buns.
"I'll eat with you."
One steamed bun was enough for her. She took two bites slowly but had no appetite.
"Okay, put it down if you don't want to eat it." The old man glanced at her, "Are you forcing it on me just to eat with me?"
"Hehe." The slap not only caused external injuries, but also scratched the inside of her mouth. Eating was like torture. She didn't want to open her mouth for the past two days.
"Yanyan, I can't rely on your aunt anymore. I want to recognize Xiaoyi and announce it in front of everyone."
Shen Luoyan nodded. Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, she expressed her support.
"But, about my aunt..."
"I've thought it through. If she still has the same attitude as yesterday, then I will..." The old man closed his eyes and sighed, "Then I will have to be a little cruel."
After thinking it through, the old man felt much more relaxed. He talked to Shen Bin twice on the phone, then went downstairs for a walk. He looked much better.
Shen Luoyan felt more relieved. She was fiddling with her two pots of daisies in the yard when a man suddenly appeared at the door, supporting an old man.
"Grandpa Lu..." She greeted Grandpa Lu first, and then saw the young man next to her pause.
Who is this? Has she seen him before?
Mr. Lu came to ask about the old man's condition. Seeing that he hadn't shown up for two days, he was very worried.
The two have been brothers through thick and thin since they were young. They have been together for countless years, and the bond between them is incomprehensible to others.
"Grandpa is fine. He's sitting in the living room. Can Grandpa Lu go in first?"
Mr. Lu nodded, his eyes fell on her cheek, and he asked in surprise: "Xiao Yan, what's wrong with your face?"
Even the man was staring at that half of her face. She shook her head to indicate that it was okay: "I just bumped into it accidentally."
Well, her face hit Shen Qin's hand, and that was true.
