An Hongdou thought, she should be happy.

As long as the two of them buy the house, even if the business goes bankrupt in the future, they will not be poor as long as they have a house in Jiangcheng.

But somehow, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

"Third brother, fourth brother, if the person who asked you to buy a house today was not me, would you still buy it?" An Hongdou thought about it and asked them.

After all, Brother An San was smarter and he immediately understood the hidden meaning of the words, "Why do you ask that, little sister?"

Forget it. The third and fourth brothers are just ordinary farmers from the countryside and have not received any education. It is already very good for them to be down-to-earth and capable. It is really too difficult for them to have their own judgment in everything and be as successful in the business world as Ergouzi.

Although they grew up with Ergouzi, Ergouzi started hanging out outside very early, so there is still some gap between them.

"It's nothing. I will help you find out about the house when I get back. Also, if you have spare money in the future, just stock up on more houses. Since the country's reform and opening up, housing prices have been rising. With future development, housing prices will only get higher and higher. There is no harm in buying a few more houses." An Hongdou said.

Brothers An San and An Si nodded blankly, but it was unknown whether they would do it in the future.

An Hongdou quickly found a house for them. It is not easy to buy a house in a good location like Ergouzi now. Although it is two streets away and it is troublesome to go back and forth, fortunately the houses are good.

Moreover, the two houses are adjacent to each other. I heard that they used to belong to two brothers. I don’t know why they are selling them now.

After the house was bought, Fourth Brother An's family no longer had to live in An Hongdou's house. They cleaned the house, invited their family to have a meal as a warm home, and then moved in.

Brother An San is different. His wife and children are not here. His two daughters are in school. It’s not a good idea for them to transfer here as the semester is halfway over.

So, he discussed with Wang Dahua and asked her to stay at home with the child for a while.

People believe that fallen leaves return to their roots. Even if you buy a house here, you will definitely go back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year.

When this semester is over after the Chinese New Year, I will bring them here next year.

Although Wang Dahua is a bit of a chatterbox, she is not the kind of person who lacks a sense of the overall situation. When she was poor, she was happy just to have enough food to eat, but now that she has money, she understands the benefits of reading and being literate.

She also dare not relax when it comes to her children's education.

The light in An Changyue's room is on until midnight every day. As the college entrance examination is approaching, studying is particularly intense.

Brother An's pig farm has also expanded to a certain scale. As soon as winter came, he followed the path of the Chonglin County pig farm, negotiated the price with the meat processing plant, and prepared to sell the first batch of pigs before the New Year.

After all, sows can be kept to give birth to piglets, but only a few boars need to be kept for breeding, and the others can be sold off when they grow up.

The two factories had white pigs serving as traction, and they also thought that Brother An and his men had connections with the Agricultural Bureau, so they were able to get pig breeds that others couldn't get in advance, and they also deliberately maintained good relations.

There is also the chicken incubator in Brother An's hand, which is also a rare item. Before this, he made a lot of money by selling chicks.

Including the chickens they raise in the orchard, they can now collect a lot of eggs every day, and they are also preparing to sell a batch of roosters before the New Year.

White pigs are a new breed, and they are rare and valuable, so they will definitely have an advantage in price.

It is conceivable that this year must be a bumper year for Brother An and Brother An II.

An Changyue has always had good grades, and her goal since she was a child has always been Jiangcheng University.

But that night, An Changyue knocked on An Hongdou's door a little awkwardly.

Shen Xiangzhi was brushing her teeth in the bathroom. An Hongdou had just coaxed the twins to sleep, so she said before she could speak, “Keep your voice down, let’s talk outside.”

The two little guys didn’t sleep soundly and were no easier to take care of than Dabao and the other three at that time.

After they were out of the door, An Hongdou asked, "What's wrong, Changyue? What happened?"

In order to prepare for the college entrance examination, An Changyue has been either doing homework or reviewing lessons. He is very self-conscious and does not need to be urged at all. His sensibleness is really heartbreaking.

"Aunt, I don't want to apply to Jiangcheng University anymore." She seemed to have made a great decision before she said this. "I want to apply to the University of Foreign Languages. I want to have the opportunity to become a diplomat in the future."

After saying this, she looked at An Hongdou with a cautious look in her eyes.

An Hongdou chuckled, "If you want to apply, just apply. Kyoto University of Foreign Languages ​​is no worse than Jiangcheng University. After all, it's a matter related to your future. Just think it through. But I'm quite curious. Didn't you always want to apply to Jiangcheng University? Why did you suddenly change to Foreign Languages ​​University?"

Seeing how timid she is, people who don't know her would think she is very domineering and overbearing.

An Hongdou's smile didn't seem fake, and An Changyue relaxed a little. "It's not sudden. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it."

"Why don't you dare say it? You are still young and it is normal for your thoughts to change. Your aunt is not particularly domineering, right?" An Hongdou teased her.

"No." An Changyue blushed, "I told my mother that I wanted to go to Kyoto, but she disagreed. She said that I should stay in Jiangcheng..."

An Changyue didn't finish her words because what followed was not very pleasant to hear and too calculating, and she didn't want to say it anymore.

Because of her mother's words, she wanted to go to Kyoto even more.

An Hongdou could almost guess what her sister-in-law would say. It would be nothing more than that Changyue had good food and accommodation here, so she was taking advantage.

She was also convinced. In the past, she could say that she had no money for her small calculations, but now that the pig farm was up and running, not to mention that she had already made back her investment, at least she was making some income every day. She could harvest seven or eight hundred eggs every day, which was equivalent to what others could harvest in a month. Why was she still so calculating?

An Hongdou only guessed this, but she didn't finish guessing. Lin Cuihua's original words were, "You silly girl, you really think that your aunt took you there because she loves you and wants to train you. She wanted you to help her take care of the child. Now she has just given birth to her second child, and the family needs help. You have already agreed to take the entrance exam for Jiangcheng University. You can still help her even if you are close. What's the use if you take the exam far away? She can't even find you to help her. At that time, she will not hate you and think that you are a conscienceless little ungrateful wolf. She paid your tuition for so many years in vain. Your uncle is a capable man. You have to please them more so that our family can get more benefits in the future. It's better to stay at your aunt's house. You can see them when you are close, and the relationship will be deep. Don't be disobedient, child. Look at the girls in your uncle's family. Which one lives as well as you? If you leave your aunt's house, you will be no different from them in the future..."

An Changyue knew clearly that her aunt had asked her to help take care of the children only to give her peace of mind. After coming here, everything she ate and used was given by her aunt. She was in school during the week and was only at home after school and on weekends. But her aunt was almost always there when she was here, so there was no need for her to come and see her.

An Changyue is not a shameless person. She felt embarrassed when her mother said this.

An Hongdou only knew that Lin Cuihua was scheming, but she didn't expect that she was so calculating even when it came to her children.

It's impossible to say that I'm not angry, but if I do feel angry, it's a bit unreasonable because it's not the first day I know what kind of person she is.

Looking at An Changyue, An Hongdou comforted her, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Just think carefully about where you want to apply and don't regret it. Your mother can't control you, so don't listen to her nonsense. No matter which school you apply to, as long as you need it, your aunt will help you. You are also the cutest niece in your heart."

"Yeah." An Changyue nodded heavily, "Aunt, sometimes I..." An Changyue wanted to say, sometimes I really wish you were my mother, but when she thought about it, this was completely impossible, so she changed her tone and said, "Aunt, you are also my favorite aunt."

The eighteen-year-old girl had a lovely smile, and especially since she looked similar to herself, An Hongdou liked her more and more the more she looked at her.

No matter how bad Lin Cuihua was, she never regretted bringing An Changyue here.

An Changyue's college entrance examination went very smoothly. Perhaps she had a sense of risk aversion in her heart, so she did not take the admission letter home, but gave it to An Hongdou for safekeeping. Even so, she still had to come here after the New Year.

But she still didn't want to take it home, or maybe she just wanted to find a reason to come here after the New Year. Anyway, she couldn't tell the difference.

But when I think that she will only have time to come over during holidays, I feel really sad and reluctant.

But she does not regret choosing Kyoto. This is probably how life is. There will always be gains and losses. Nothing can be perfect.

After waiting for a few more days, she returned to her hometown with her grandma and uncle to celebrate the New Year.

An Hongdou had already made an appointment with Mrs. An to come back after the New Year.

She can help take care of the children here, and often eats the vegetables, fruits, rice and noodles that she creates with her supernatural powers. Old Lady An looks much more energetic than before she came here last year.

Moreover, when she divided the family, she stated that she would live with Fourth Brother An. Now Fourth Brother An's entire family is in Jiangcheng. If she says she will live with the eldest and second sons again, she might have to consider the moods of her daughters-in-law. Old Mrs. An has been proud all her life, so she doesn't want to suffer that kind of humiliation when she is old.

Of course, this was purely her own idea. No matter whether it was Brother An or Brother An, although the farm had started to make a profit, they still needed An Hongdou to help them with advice and build relationships for the time being.

They had tasted the sweetness of making money and were too busy to pay homage to Old Lady An, let alone show her good manners.

But no one can say for sure. After all, the two sisters-in-law seem smart, but An Hongdou always feels that their brains are not very good.

It's a bit like that, wanting to curry favor with me but unable to stand my own behavior.

She didn't know how An Changyue spent the days when she returned home. She only knew that she came here after the Chinese New Year, and she came alone, without even waiting for Brother An San and the others to come.

She said she was going to leave when school started and she couldn't bear to leave, so she came here a few days early so she could stay for a while.

An Hongdou knew that it was definitely more than just that, but after all, it was a matter between mother and daughter, and she didn't want to talk about it, so she stopped asking.

Jiangcheng and Kyoto are not far away, about a two-hour drive away. An Changyue was going to take a car there the day before school started. An Hongdou thought about it and decided to let Chen Xiangzhi take An Sige to take her there and help her register.

An Changyue seemed to have suffered more disasters than others since childhood. This time he went to the capital to study alone, and no one knew what kind of things or people he would encounter.

An Hongdou is not a high-profile person, but she also knows that in big cities, the word "rural people" seems to be naturally looked down upon.

It’s heartbreaking to think about a beautiful but weak girl who is alone in a foreign place without any relatives around her.

She asked Chen Xiangzhi to deliver it to show others that Changyue was not someone who had no one to protect her. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of her should first consider his own abilities.

Knowing that An Hongdou was worried, Shen Xiangzhi told her, "Don't think too much. Kyoto is Jiang Huai's base. Jiang Huai happens to have a nephew who goes to the same school as Changyue. I asked him to take care of him. No one dares to bully her."

Jiang Huai's nephew, male.

An Hongdou became even more worried.

At first, Mu Yundong also took care of Changyue, and then...

Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Every time I think of Mu Yundong, who was always smiling and frivolous, and who is gone at such a young age, I feel bad.

Mu Yundong is much better than his brother. Especially after meeting Wang Jing, he feels that Mu Yuntian is not that good.

Even if it is a marriage of arrangement, since you've married her, you have to consider her face.

Every time she saw Wang Jing worried about her big belly, she felt that Shen Xiangzhi was so good.

In 1982, family planning was written into the Constitution.

The state advocates that a couple should only have one pair of children, and public servants should only have one child.

It also means that human nature will face the greatest challenge.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The Su family and the Shen family were extremely fortunate that An Hongdou gave birth to another baby last year, otherwise there would be no hope of having another baby now.

They have four grandsons and one granddaughter, which makes the people of the Mu family and the Zhao family very envious.

Wang Jing felt even more stressed as she was pregnant and was afraid that she would give birth to a girl.

Her stress infected An Hongdou, and the two no longer had the relaxed feeling they had before. Instead, he had to listen to her complaints every time they met.

She complained that her husband was not caring enough and that her mother-in-law always asked God to bless her with a son.

Perhaps this is the normal state of life, but she can't understand it.

Many times she wanted to say, you are not a child anymore, you are not penniless and have many worries, at worst you can get a divorce and live on your own, wouldn't that be better?

But no matter whether other people's marriages are good or bad, she can't persuade them to divorce.

Later, when she called again, An Hongdou would let Old Lady An answer the phone and say that she was not at home, obviously wanting to avoid her as much as possible.

In April, Wang Jing's stomach started to move prematurely.

By the time An Hongdou found out, she had already given birth.

As they wished, it was a son, and everyone was happy.

It’s just that I don’t know what the meaning of a marriage like this is.
