An Ze heard the conversation between An Bohuai and Xiao Zheng, and wanted to join in and express his own opinion.

An Hua simply changed the subject, "Dad, are you still teaching at school now?"

"Why are you asking this? I haven't taught classes for a long time. I'm currently doing research in the research institute. I don't have to work in the office, so I spend most of my time at home."

Yau Shu-shen said: "Your father always wanted to go out, and many of his old friends in Beijing and overseas wrote to him asking him to go out and play. But two months ago, an old friend of his in Beijing committed suicide... Oh my, it's not right to talk about this during the New Year."

An Hua asked: "Why did you commit suicide? What happened?"

Qiu Shushen looked at An Bohuai.

An Bohuai sighed and said, "Their school was carrying out some kind of 'Four Cleanups' campaign... He couldn't stand it, so he committed suicide."

The Four Cleanups: clean up politics, clean up the economy, clean up organizations, and clean up thoughts.

It was a small movement before the big movement, carried out only in a few cities and rural areas, and on a relatively small scale.

An Hua was a little shocked. She didn't expect that someone around An Bohuai would be in trouble at this time.

An Ze also became nervous, "Dad, your school won't organize this kind of activity, will it?"

An Bohuai shook his head. "There is no such trend in our province at the moment, don't worry."

"I can't be at ease!" An Hua said seriously, "Dad, I'll just say what I want to say. From the conversation between you and Xiao Zheng just now, I think your thoughts are very dangerous. You must keep your mouth shut and don't speak nonsense."

After all, she is his father. No matter how open-minded An Bohuai is, he is somewhat unhappy to be disciplined by his daughter in this way. "Just live your own life and don't worry about me."

An Ze tried to smooth things over, "Dad, my sister is also thinking about you."

An Bohuai's face relaxed. "I know she wants to do this for my own good, but she is being paranoid. I have made contributions. I donated an airplane in 1951 and a batch of precious cultural relics in 1953. I was even praised in the newspapers. It's impossible for her to do anything to me!"

An Hua didn't care. All these achievements would be useless in a society that had lost its mind.

An idea suddenly occurred to her.

She was far away in Yun County, and couldn't watch over An Bohuai all the time. Instead of worrying about him, why not let An Bohuai leave the provincial capital in advance and move to live under her nose? Stay away from the provincial capital and your circle of acquaintances, and you can also avoid being tripped up by others in secret!

You can't avoid the wave of the times, but you can hide on the edge of the wave.

Moreover, Yun County also has Xiao Zheng. Even if things get really chaotic, at least he can exert his energy in time. Unlike in the provincial capital, if something happens and the news reaches Yun County, it may be too late to find a solution.

The more An Hua thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible.

But the problem is how to convince An Bohuai.

"Dad, let's not talk about this anymore." An Hua peeled an orange and fed it to An Bohuai, saying coquettishly, "It's my daughter who is ignorant. My dad is smart and clever. There's no need for a little girl to teach him how to do things."

An Bohuai couldn't stand his daughter's coquetry, and his eyes curved up immediately, but his expression was still arrogant, "Hmph~"

Qiu Shushen and An Ze were used to it, but Xiao Zheng felt a little jealous.

I think sweet talk is her specialty, and I thought she only used it to control him.

Besides, she had never fed him an orange.

An Hua said something nice again, and finally sighed, "Alas, we have to leave after the New Year. I really don't want to leave Mom and Dad."

Qiu Shushen immediately said: "Then you can stay for a few more days. If your son-in-law is busy with work, let him go back first."

Xiao Zheng: “…” No, I don’t want to go back alone at all. I must bring my wife and children with me!

Good-grandfather An Hua shook her head, "I have to go to work too." She hugged An Bohuai's arm and shook it, "I miss my father so much..."

An Bohuai's heart almost melted, and he said softly: "It's okay, when spring comes, Dad will go to Yun County to see you."

An Hua's eyes sparkled as she said, "How about this, Dad? You and Mom can go to Yun County and stay there for a while. I'll rent a small courtyard for you."

An Bohuai and Qiu Shushen looked at each other. Still want to rent a house? How long will they stay here?

An Hua continued, "Yun County is a thousand-year-old ancient city. Many of the houses have a history of two or three hundred years. There are also towers from the Tang Dynasty and steles from the Liao Dynasty. The bluestone pavements in the city may have countless footprints of ancient people... Don't you like a place like this, Dad?"

An Bohuai had been to Yun County once, but it was just a quick pass. At that time, he did think about coming back again in the future.

He was tempted, "But there's no need to rent a house. It's too much trouble. Could it be that my son-in-law doesn't welcome me to stay at his house for a few days?"

Xiao Zheng quickly expressed his attitude: "Welcome, absolutely welcome!"

But An Hua wanted to live here for many years instead of just a few days... In this case, it would be better to rent a house to avoid gossip from outsiders, and An's father and mother would also be more confident.

But it’s good enough that I’ve been able to convince him to this point today. I’ll take my time with the rest.

And the antiques at home also need to be put into her space... This excuse is even harder to find...

The clock struck midnight, and 1965 officially arrived.

After An Hua traveled through time, she developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. She was already very sleepy, and as soon as it was past midnight, she couldn't wait to go back to bed.

Xiao Zheng followed her, holding the already asleep Dongdong.

Qiu Shushen came over with three red envelopes, gave them to An Hua and Xiao Zheng respectively, and also stuffed a red envelope under the pillow of Dong Dong Dong.

Xiao Zheng was stunned. "Hey, you're giving me New Year's money?"

Yau Shu-shen said with a smile: "In our eyes, you and Huanhuan are both children. We don't want to give you lucky money. We hope that evil spirits will stay away from you and let you spend the next year in peace."

Xiao Zheng was stunned for a long time, and only came back to his senses when An Hua pulled his sleeve.

"Are you so happy just because you got some New Year's money?" An Hua teased him.

Xiao Zheng shook his head slowly, feeling indescribable pain in his heart.

This was the first time in his thirty years of life that someone gave him New Year's money.

Xiao Zheng held An Hua in his arms and lay down, suddenly saying, "You are so nice, and your family is nice too."

An Hua couldn't even open her eyes. She responded in a daze and fell asleep.

Xiao Zheng chuckled and kissed her on the forehead.

The next morning, they were awakened by a burst of shouting.

"How did our Wu family offend you? Now you don't even accompany me back to my parents' home for the New Year!"
