After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family planned to stay up together to celebrate the New Year, but Wu Xiaolin pulled An Tiantian into the house early.

An Ze's face didn't look good. "Don't worry about her. Let's protect our family."

Qiu Shushen: "Aze, please come into the house and accompany Xiaolin."

An Ze turned his head and said, "No."

An Bohuai ordered him, "Hurry up."

An Ze simply got up and went to the balcony to smoke.

Amber was angry: "He doesn't even listen to me now."

Yau Shu-shen comforted him, "That's enough, he's already in his thirties, he has his own ideas."

An Bohuai: "What's his idea? He can't even manage his own little family! If he doesn't cultivate himself and his family, how can he contribute to the country?"

Qiu Shushen didn't say anything. Her daughter-in-law was ignorant, so why should she blame her son?

An Hua put the sleepy Dong Dong in Xiao Xiao's arms and wanted to go to the balcony to see An Ze.

Xiao Yu held her and put a military coat on her. "It's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

An Hua smiled at him.

An Bohuai and Qiu Shushen were very pleased to see this scene. At least one of their son and daughter had a happy marriage.

An Ze heard some noise, turned around and saw that it was his sister. He quickly put out the cigarette and waved away the smell of the smoke with his hand.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Get some fresh air." An Hua stood beside him.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks continued, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"When you were a kid, you were most afraid of firecrackers. A neighbor's kid used firecrackers to scare you, and you beat him up so badly that his face was swollen and black." An Ze laughed as he spoke. "That was the only time you beat someone up in your life. Do you remember?"

An Hua nodded, "You even helped me beat him up."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Are you and Xiao Xiao happy?"

An Hua nodded without hesitation, "Very happy."

An Ze felt surprised. He and his parents were originally against An Hua marrying Xiao Xiao, mainly because they felt that the two people's concepts and habits were too different, and they would definitely not be able to live together in the future.

After marriage, An Hua's married life was unhappy just as they had expected.

How come there have been such drastic changes after just half a year of being in the army?

But Anze could see that his sister was not lying...as long as she was really living a good life, that was enough.

"What about you, brother?" An Hua asked.

An Ze never hid anything from his sister. Hearing this, he sighed and said, "I think your sister-in-law has changed."

"What kind of change?"

An Ze thought for a while before saying, "She used to be a proud and lonely flower that grew up in poverty, but now... I think she is very selfish."

An Hua recalled for a moment and said slowly, "In fact, you married your sister-in-law in a hurry. It seems that you only knew her for a short time? Do you dare to say that you knew her all at that time?"

An Ze was stunned.

That's exactly the case.

He met Wu Xiaolin and was attracted to her. He wanted to get close to her, so he took the initiative to help her borrow books and find foreign information for her...but when they were officially together, he was passive.

Once, he went to the printing factory to deliver materials to Wu Xiaolin. He learned that Wu Xiaolin was ill and had returned home early, so he asked for her home address and prepared to deliver the materials to her home, and also to visit her at the same time.

Wu Xiaolin was the only one left at the Wu family. She was bedridden and had to drag her sick body to drink a glass of water herself. An Ze couldn't bear it, so he stayed and took care of her for a while.
