Gu An’an woke up to find herself in the underprivileged era of the 1970s, where food and warmth were scarce. Just as she arrived, she encountered a crucial moment when her young mother, an educat...
After An An entered the room, she found that Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang were standing on tiptoe, with their buttocks sticking out, and staring at the TV on the table. To be honest, she hadn't seen Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang in such a childish look for a long time. It was really strange!
Lu Yan stood in the middle. Maybe he was busy. He took off his coat and put it on the back of a chair beside him. He was wearing a black shirt, which was half tied at his waist. His legs were slender. When he half-bent his body, he exerted a little force, which made his back look a little thinner. In fact, it was not the case. The muscles hidden under the shirt had a strong explosive power, and a pair of big hands with distinct joints were fiddling with the antenna above the TV, as if he was looking for a signal.
An An was infatuated when she looked at Lu Yan's back. She suddenly shook off the messy thoughts in her mind and secretly scolded herself. She was really going backwards.
To be honest, this was the first time that An An had such close contact with a TV of this era. It was obviously a bit novel. At the same time, it was also the first time that An An came home and stood at the door for a long time, but no one noticed her.
Even Gu Weiqiang, Teacher Sun, and Grandma were all around the TV. Everyone seemed to be curious about the new member, the TV, not to mention that it was a luxury among luxuries.
In Gu Weiqiang's words, why bother buying a TV? With the money for the TV, they can buy a bigger house and live comfortably. This is true. The money for this TV is enough for them to buy a bigger house in Taisong County.
However, Lu Yan, the son-in-law, moved the TV back in advance.
Gu Weiqiang was happy! But he felt that he had taken advantage of Lu Yan. Didn't he see that his old face was almost bitter? This favor was too big to be returned!
Lu Yan suddenly moved the TV back.
This is what surprised An An the most. When An An wanted to buy a TV before, she had been suffering from the lack of tickets. At first, she planned to say hello to Li Jingyue, give him money, and ask him to help her get a TV in Shanghai. But unexpectedly, before she said anything,
Xu Chengcheng's mother had such a thing. During this period, Li Jingyue was busy and exhausted. An An was really embarrassed to bother Li Jingyue with such a thing.
Once, she complained in front of Lu Yan that they were too loose and when would they slowly relax the policy! It would be better if she didn't need tickets to buy large items. It would save her a lot of trouble!
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan took the unintentional complaint to heart and directly got a TV and sent it to her home.
When An An was in a daze, Lu Yan walked to her side silently. He raised his hand and waved it in front of An An, and said in a hoarse voice, "An An!" An An suddenly came back to her
senses. She was stunned for a moment, "Brother Yan!", and then pointed to the TV on the table, "TV, did you buy it?"
Lu Yan hooked his lips and did not deny it, "Take a look, do you like it?"
An An touched the TV excitedly and said crisply, "I like it!" Then he changed the subject, "How much?" The money had to be paid, otherwise it would be like eating for free. After all, she and Lu Yan were not married yet. Public was public and private was private. An An had always been very clear about this.
When An An asked how much it cost, everyone in the Gu family pricked up their ears. Even Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang, who had been excited, calmed down and stopped clinging to the TV. Apparently, the two children knew that this TV was not cheap and they probably couldn't afford it even if they sold their houses!
Before that, Gu Weiqiang and Teacher Sun had always wanted to ask, but they didn't find the right opportunity.
An An's question really hit the nail on the head. Lu Yan looked at An An helplessly, he knew this girl would react like this, he said helplessly, "No money!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw An An's eyes widened and she was angry, "Brother, you still have to settle the bill clearly!"
Lu Yan raised his hand and rubbed An An's head, quite seriously, "It's really free, I didn't spend a penny!"
An An was suspicious, "Really?"
Lu Yan nodded with a smile and changed the subject, "I'll tell you later." He had said so much, if An An continued asking, it would be a bit embarrassing, she smiled and said, "Then you are not allowed to hide it from me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lu Yan smiled indulgently.
The old neighbors who followed An An in, especially Aunt Qian, had their eyes glued to the TV. When she heard Lu Yan say it was free, she was so jealous!
They watched it with great enthusiasm at first, although they were envious, but thinking that such an expensive TV, this son-in-law should not say that he would give it to the Gu family for free! But now, they heard it with their own ears in the back that this TV was not given away for free!
This is not just a matter of money. There are so many people living in this area, who doesn’t want to get a TV ticket? The entire textile factory only has one TV ticket a year, which is given to advanced employees. Ordinary people can’t afford it even if they get the ticket! I can only sell this ticket quietly to those who can afford it.
Now the son-in-law not only got the ticket, but also delivered the TV to the door without asking for money. Such a good son-in-law is not easy to find! He is really the first one in the compound.
Not to mention the money, Zhang Aiqin is also very jealous and a little regretful. All his family members are boys. If he can have a lady, he may also be blessed by the lady and meet such a good son-in-law.
Thinking of this, she looked at He Dali who was at the back of the crowd. She squeezed out from the gap and said loudly, "Dali! Look at how capable the daughters of the Gu family are! Among our group, you are the only one with two daughters. You must treat them as treasures. You may bring back such a promising son-in-law for you one day."
The gossiping aunts and gossipers are old, and their lives have been shaped. What are they talking about when they are chatting and bragging? Of course, they are talking about whose children are more successful! Who said that daughters of the Gu family are all losers? Didn't you see that the daughters of the Gu family are not only good-looking, but also have good academic performance. Even the sons-in-law they brought back are so capable!
Look at this daughter, she is even more capable than their sons!
Being questioned in public, He Dali was embarrassed for a moment. All the old neighbors knew that the eldest daughter of his family got divorced and found a live-in son-in-law. Before the marriage, the live-in son-in-law seemed to be diligent, but after the marriage, he was so lazy that he had cramps all over his body! He had
a good job, but because of his drunkenness, he lost his job and lost a lot of money in the factory.
And her eldest daughter had to take care of the baby for less than 20 days after giving birth, and she had to force herself to take the job of pasting matchboxes at the street office. She was busy until one or two o'clock in the evening before she could go to bed.
That's it. What is the live-in son-in-law doing? He gets drunk every day and wants her confinement maid to serve him. How can this be done by a human being?
As for the young lady Huang Zhenzhen, she had a marriage proposal in the next county. The man's family had good conditions, but his face was full of pockmarks and he was a little short. However, the young lady was careless and dropped a rope and got hung under the eaves. If it hadn't been discovered early, she might have died, and they would have had to send her off.
So, the young lady's marriage was delayed. Although the news of the young lady's hanging was not spread, people in a compound would know about any trivial matter in their family in less than half a day.
Hearing Zhang Aiqin's question, she knew that this gossiping woman just wanted to create chaos in the world. He Dali's face fell, "Why don't you mind your own business!", and then she deliberately mocked loudly, "This old Gu family doesn't know how to sell their daughter. Would a normal person accept such an expensive thing?"
The more you can't get something, the more jealous you are. He Dali is in this situation now. One of their daughters can't get married, and the other found a drunkard. So when He Dali saw that the Gu family found such a son-in-law, she was naturally jealous, and her eyes were black. The more she was like this, the more she liked to slander others to show her slight sense of superiority.
An An and his family were originally happily gathered in front of the TV, tuning in to the antenna. After hearing this, no one in the Gu family had a good face, especially An An, whose face was so gloomy that water could drip out.
An An was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Yan. He glanced at He Dali lightly, and he was obviously unhappy and disgusted at being interrupted. I don't know why, although it was a very casual first look, it gave He Dali goosebumps.
Then, Lu Yan looked around at the people around him and said loudly, "Whether the Gu family will sell their daughter or not, I think I, as the person involved, will know better than everyone else!"
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, not as sharp as He Dali's, nor as fast as hers, but it had a magical power that made people believe.
Everyone couldn't help but put all their attention on Lu Yan.
Lu Yan suddenly held An An's hand in front of everyone, and his usual cold and handsome face was changed. There was an indelible doting look between his eyebrows, "As long as I have it, as long as she wants it, I, Lu Yan, will give it all to her." After a pause, he looked down at An An and said in a hoarse voice, "Even if you didn't ask, I would find it for you, because I know you like it!" Although
this sentence was a bit confusing, An An understood it. Even if she didn't take the initiative to mention it, as long as Lu Yan knew about it, he would do everything he could to find it.
The meaning here has changed. It's not that An An asked for it, and Lu Yan found it for An An, but he knew that An An would like this thing, so he wanted to give it to An An.
The same words, but in a different order, the meaning is also different. The former is proposed by An An herself, and the latter is Lu Yan's wholehearted.
An An felt that her throat was a little blocked and uncomfortable. How could she meet such a good Lu Yan? But she was more shy. This guy said this in front of her parents and so many neighbors!
Really...
Really for a long time, An An was reluctant to say anything to blame. She was choking and couldn't say a word. After a while, she finally spit out two words, "Brother Yan!" Thank you, she didn't say these three words, what kind of person Lu Yan is, naturally understood.
They were very close, and he could almost see the fine hair on An An's fair cheeks. With the naivety and cuteness of a young girl, he curled his fingers slightly in his palm and gently rubbed them. An itchy feeling came over him. He raised his hand and rubbed An An's fluffy little head. He smiled dotingly in a hoarse voice, "Silly girl!"
Then, he changed the subject and looked at He Dali with a smile. There was an indescribable sternness on Jun's face, and his tone became heavier, "My dear lady, do you see that I, Lu Yan, belong to Gu An'an, so naturally everything belongs to Gu An'an!" He paused, "So there is no buying and selling. If there really is, it is An'an who buys me!" Lu Yan spoke the last few words very lightly, but An'an, who was very close to him, really understood them.
This is Brother Yan supporting her!
An'an's hand was still held in Lu Yan's hand, but this time she took the initiative to hold Lu Yan's hand back with force. Her small hand tightly grasped Lu Yan's big hand, and her big hand wrapped around her small hand. At this moment, they were two people, but they seemed to be one person!
