"Well, I want to see if I can grow it?"

Zhou Tian nodded and told the truth.

"But didn't the old man just say that different medicinal seeds have extremely strict requirements for the growing environment? Can they really be grown?"

Shen Yulin snuggled up on Zhou Tian's back, feeling the warm breath. A hint of intoxication flashed across her pretty face. She bit her lips lightly, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Zhou Tian's waist, and she spoke in a tender voice.

"Who knows? Let's give it a try! If it can grow, that's great. But if it really can't, there's nothing we can do. Just treat it as a lesson!"

Zhou Tian said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. Obviously, he didn't intend to tell Shen Yulin about the space. It wasn't because he didn't trust her, after all, he hadn't even mentioned it to his grandparents. It was out of protection for his family. After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be.

Feeling the movements of the beauty behind him, his body trembled slightly. He wanted to say something, but at this moment he couldn't bear to break the ambiguity between them. They both fell silent for a while.

Riding on their bikes, facing the cold wind, in a blink of an eye, the two returned to Mianhua Hutong. Even though they were inseparable from each other, they did not dare to cross the line before getting married.

After watching Shen Yulin walk into the courtyard, Zhou Tian rode his bike back home. He parked the bike in the front yard and just as he walked through the hanging flower gate, he saw grandma and grandpa sitting in the yard, chatting and laughing with the matchmaker Aunt Li.

"Xiaotian is back?"

Seeing Zhou Tian come in, Aunt Li greeted him with a smile.

"Aunt Li, it's you!"

When Zhou Tian saw Aunt Li, he immediately had some guesses in his mind, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Looking at his grandparents who were looking at him with a smile on their faces, he couldn't help swallowing and asked, "Grandma, Aunt Li is here today, why?"

"Xiaotian, this is what happened. Your grandparents came to me early this morning and asked me to go to the Shen family to propose marriage for you. However, since you are still young, Aunt Li has arranged a marriage contract between you and the Shen family first. When you reach the age next year, you will get married!"

"How is it? Xiaotian, you won't blame Aunt Li for doing this!"

Aunt Li said this, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

"No, how could that be? I know Aunt Li is thinking about me, how dare I blame you!"

Zhou Tian responded quickly, but he was ecstatic in his heart. He had planned to come back today to ask grandma when to propose marriage, but he didn't expect grandma to give him such a big surprise today.

"Hahaha, my eldest grandson is right. Sister, you are a great help in proposing marriage for him. How could he have any complaints?" Grandma interrupted as she looked at Zhou Tian who was so ecstatic that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, elder sister, Xiaotian is back, so I will tell you about the conditions of the Shen family!"

Before Zhou Tian came back, although she had told her elder sister about the general situation, it was still Zhou Tian who made the final decision, so many details were not mentioned. Now that Zhou Tian is back, she naturally has to say everything that should be said to avoid complaints from the Zhou family in the future.

"Okay, grandson, sit down and listen too!"

Grandma nodded when she heard this, waved to Zhou Tian, ​​and motioned him to sit down next to her. Then the whole family turned their eyes to Aunt Li.

"Xiaotian, elder sister, I went to the Shen family to propose the engagement this time, and it went smoothly. They didn't make any excessive requests. There was only one thing, which was that after Shen Yulin got married, they wanted to move in with them. After all, they only have this one daughter. What do you think of this request?"

"That's it?"

After hearing what Aunt Li said, grandma, grandpa and Zhou Tian looked at each other, and their originally tense moods could not help but relax. Obviously, this request was not too much for grandpa, grandma and Zhou Tian.

"Aunt Li, is there nothing else? Like a betrothal gift or something?"

"That's not what they said, but I guess, as long as the above condition can be agreed, the Shen family may not ask for a dowry!" Aunt Li shook her head and said.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I agree!" Zhou Tian responded without hesitation.

If he had lived in a courtyard house before, he might have had some concerns, but now that he has a two-story courtyard house of his own, this issue is naturally no longer a problem.

Besides, there were only a few elders in the family, including his grandparents, uncle and aunt, and his uncle and aunt had already moved out. Seeing that his grandparents were getting older, he didn't want to let them worry about him anymore.

If his parents-in-law could move in now, that would be great. There would be someone to take care of the children in the future. For him, this is simply the best of both worlds, no, it should be said that it is killing three birds with one stone.

"Okay! Since you agree, Xiaotian, then I, Aunt Li, will go back to the Shen family?" Aunt Li said with relief when she heard that the Zhou family agreed.

"Go back, elder sister. Even I, an old woman, can make the decision for this request, not to mention my eldest grandson. Just go back to the Shen family without worry!" Grandma also spoke at this moment.

"Okay, I've already told you all the requirements of the Shen family. It depends on when you two are going to make a decision! Old sister, how about you pick a date?"

"The sooner the better, let's say three days later. Three days later is a good day. Old man, Xiaotian, what do you think?" Grandma thought for a while and said, but finally looked at Grandpa and Zhou Tian and asked.

"Grandma, I have no objection!"

"Well, it's a good day indeed. Let's set it for three days later!" Grandpa also nodded in agreement.

"But sister, although the Shen family didn't mention the issue of a bride price, we can't treat them unfairly. How about this, sister, we offer 188,000. What do you think?" Grandma suddenly suggested.

"Oh, elder sister, your suggestion is great. Okay, this will be good for both parties. I will go to the Shen family to discuss it tomorrow. It's getting late now, so I'll leave first!" Aunt Li said, and as it was getting dark, she stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay, then I'll take you there!" said grandma, and was about to get up.

"Oh, elder sister, please don't see us off. We are not strangers. Please sit down and don't see us off!" Aunt Li saw that grandma was about to get up and hurriedly stopped her.

"Okay, okay, I won't see her off. But grandson, you can see Aunt Li off for grandma!" Grandma had no choice but to turn her gaze to Zhou Tian.

"Okay grandma! Aunt Li, I'll take you there!" Zhou Tian stood up and sent Aunt Li out before returning home.

"Grandson, you should get ready these few days. In three days, we will go to the girl's house to present the betrothal gifts. Do you understand?" Grandma said as she watched her grandson come back from seeing off Matchmaker Li.

"I know, grandma!"

Zhou Tian nodded. If his grandmother hadn’t told him, he really wouldn’t have known about this. After all, many wedding customs in later generations are very different from those of today.

Although he was from the north in his previous life, each place has its own customs and habits. Fortunately, his grandmother took care of everything, and he only needed to listen to her instructions. When he thought about getting engaged to Shen Yulin in three days, he was excited and looking forward to it.

I even had a sweet dream of a wife, children and a warm bed in my dreams at night.

Three days later, Zhou Tian got up early. Today was the day he went to the Shen family to present his betrothal gifts. Although it was not a marriage but just an engagement, in this era, as long as one was engaged, it was considered a marriage in the eyes of some people.

"Brother, you look so handsome today!"

The second brother Zhou Hao looked at his eldest brother who was still fiddling with his hair in the house, and said with a happy smile on his face.
