Chapter 285 Did Brother Regret It?
"Should we really call the police?" An Songyu asked in the car on the way back.
It's unclear how long the demolition process will take.
But the current situation is really difficult for them to handle.
Seeing that his daughter was still worried about this matter, An Jianping felt somewhat helpless. He thought for a moment before saying:
"Don't worry, their family will come looking for them."
"By the way, if they call, don't answer them. I'll handle it."
"About checking out?" An Songyu thought for a moment and asked.
An Jianping nodded without denying it.
And sure enough, the phone rang shortly after the two returned home.
Remembering An Jianping's words of advice, An Songyu did not rush to answer the phone.
She had just come downstairs with the phone in her hand when she saw An Jianping busy in the kitchen.
An Songyu almost forgot why he had sought out An Jianping.
He rushed over in a few quick steps: "Dad, are you cooking lunch today?"
An Jianping turned around upon hearing the sound, glanced at the phone in his daughter's hand, and then said:
"We have more time today, so let's make some soup for everyone to drink together."
As he spoke, he pretended not to notice that his daughter's phone was still ringing.
I took out a variety of soup ingredients from the kitchen cabinet and some dried night-blooming cereus flowers.
"You want to make a soup with night-blooming cereus and pork bones?" An Songyu had already realized what was going on, but she wasn't in a hurry to say it.
“Yes, this kind of soup is perfect for this season,” An Jianping said, nodding.
The soup made with night-blooming cereus and pork ribs has the effect of clearing the heart and moistening the lung
This is right at the turn of spring and summer, and occasionally stewing some to drink can be quite beneficial for seasonal colds.
An Songyu also helped look for the items.
The main ingredients of night-blooming cereus and pork rib soup are night-blooming cereus and pork ribs.
But to make it delicious, you can't skimp on any of the side ingredients.
However, the home version is always used whatever is available.
An Jianping soaked the black-eyed peas and night-blooming cereus he had just found.
An Songyu then took out some ginger to process.
Looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator in the kitchen, he asked, "Dad, how about adding carrots and water chestnuts?"
"Okay! But the horseshoes haven't been processed yet, you'll have to take them out first."
"I know that, but why would I suddenly buy this thing?"
Horse hooves are a product of autumn and winter.
It's not easy to get your hands on this during this season.
“It wasn’t bought by our family. It was a gift from your great-uncle’s family. I heard it was brought over by some relative last time.”
"He brought a huge bag full! Your great-uncle thought there was so much that he divided it up among several families!"
"I don't know how they kept them, they look pretty fresh." An Songyu said as she took out some into a small basket and handed them to An Jianping to handle.
An Jianping looked at it and nodded in agreement.
However, he has limited time to live in the countryside, and Jiangcun doesn't grow this kind of thing much, so he can't think of a way to preserve it for the time being.
"Dad, do you think we could ask our great-uncle's relative?"
"If we have extra items, we can put some at my aunt's small supermarket once it opens."
“You can ask…” An Jianping glanced at his daughter with amusement, but still reminded her:
"But I don't know when your aunt's little supermarket will open."
"Horseshoes are not easy to preserve, it's remarkable that they've survived to this day."
"The temperature is getting higher and higher now, and we'll have to wait for your aunt's supermarket to open before we can sell them, which is probably unlikely."
An Songyu knew that An Jianping's words were not meant to discourage her, but rather to prepare her mentally.
So she laughed and said, "I just saw it and made that connection."
"Just a casual question, just a casual remark."
"If it succeeds, I'll be happy; if it fails, I won't be too disappointed."
"That's good!" An Jianping replied with a smile.
He had just finished preparing the other ingredients when he heard An Songyu's phone ring again.
After washing her hands, An Songyu looked at the phone number that had just called and handed it to An Jianping without hesitation.
An Jianping had already guessed what was going on when the phone rang again.
I had just finished washing and drying my hands.
After receiving the call, he answered it without hesitation.
The person on the other end of the phone was also surprised; after dialing for a long time, the person who answered the phone was not the original owner of the body.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should get angry or state his purpose.
An Jianping didn't give him a choice, asking directly, "What is it?"
The other party remained silent for a while before reluctantly revealing their purpose.
An Jianping didn't even check the time and said directly, "This afternoon won't work, tonight will do!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The other person was completely dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but look at his son sitting in the wheelchair.
The young man, who had come out specifically to make it easier to talk, also looked rather unpleasant.
He thought for a moment and then carefully repeated what his family had overheard at the police station.
After thinking it over, he said, "Then you can go and get your luggage tonight!"
"What do you mean? Did we really just take the luggage like that?" The young man's family members were somewhat incredulous.
The young man glanced at everyone with some impatience, but said nothing.
But when he looked down at his broken leg again, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
It would be a lie to say I don't regret it.
The young man thought about it a lot before he decided to do it.
But the one thing he never thought about was... that breaking his leg would cause more than just this much pain.
Moreover, I've heard that even after a complete cure, there may be some minor aftereffects.
At that time, the young man was truly grateful that he hadn't had enough courage.
He was only prepared to break his leg slightly; he wasn't really determined to suffer any serious injury.
Otherwise, he would be experiencing more than just regret now.
Although the young man didn't say anything, as family members living together, who wouldn't know who the other was!
After pushing the young man back into the room, the group gathered together again.
"Mom and Dad, is my brother regretting it?" Someone bluntly asked.
Although the group also had their own thoughts, their faces immediately darkened upon hearing this.
But if we're talking about the most quick-witted person in the family, it has to be that young man.
The group thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
In the end, all I could say was, "Let's talk to that family tonight when we go to get our luggage!"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately began to plot in secret.
That evening, the group, led by one of them, arrived at An Songyu's house again.
The urban village at night looks even darker than it does tomorrow.
The streetlights, which are spaced far apart, are not enough to illuminate the entire narrow alley.
Walking through it, you're always worried about stepping on something.
After a long and difficult journey, the group finally made it through the alley.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the lights were on in the house.
