"What's so delicious?" Qin Xiaomei said bluntly, "Don't I know how much you eat? With so much training every day, you can't go without eating enough."
Lin Nanfeng also nodded at the side. Although they looked small and thought they didn't eat much, their appetite was actually comparable to that of an adult.
In this era of less oil and meat, combined with daily exercise, it is not a problem for one person to eat a pound of rice.
Hu Ying'an didn't refuse anymore and kept spouting nice words.
"It would be so great if you were my real aunt. What good deeds must Nanfeng have done in her previous life to have such a good aunt like you, and a stepfather who treats her like her own father!"
Qin Xiaomei smiled so hard that her teeth were visible, and she put two more eggs in the bowl.
Thinking about his own family's situation and comparing it with Nanfeng's, Hu Yingan couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Xiaomei thought the child was unhappy, so she comforted her.
"Being a family sometimes requires fate. If you don't get along, don't force it. After decades, why make yourself unhappy? Just live your life to your heart's content. Just take care of yourself and make yourself comfortable."
Hu Ying'an snuggled up to Qin Xiaomei and made a gesture to Lin Nanfeng with his hand behind his back.
Lin Nanfeng had no choice but to open the cabinet, steal a bottle of Wuliangye and go upstairs.
In the kitchen, Hu Ying'an covered up and said, "Aunt has experienced more than us, so what she says makes sense."
Qin Xiaomei was even happier and put more meat in the noodles.
There was a full bowl of noodles and five eggs. Hu Yingan finished it in less than five minutes and even burped while touching his stomach.
Qin Xiaomei looked like she was saying, "See, I told you guys have big appetites!"
Hu Ying'an was not embarrassed and said with a smile, "The noodles made by my aunt are so delicious. I can't help but want to eat more after I'm full."
"That's because you're hungry."
Qin Xiaomei seemed to remember something and continued, "Nanfeng said that her bones crackled when she slept at night. Is that the case with you too?"
"Yeah!" Hu Ying'an leaned back in his chair, rubbing his belly and chatting. "Nanfeng said it might be a calcium deficiency and told me to drink more soup, but my stepmother wouldn't make it for me."
Qin Xiaomei immediately felt distressed and said generously, "Then you can come to my house to drink. I will also make some for Nanfeng. One more person won't make much difference."
Hu Ying'an did not refuse and thanked him with a smile.
Seeing her looking around, Qin Xiaomei told her to go find Nanfeng to play.
Hu Ying'an had just that in mind and said he would go upstairs to have dinner at home tonight.
As soon as she went upstairs, she opened the Wuliangye bottle and poured it into her mouth. There was a hint of melancholy between her brows, unlike the cheerful look downstairs just now.
Hu Ying'an looked out the window and said calmly, "Nanfeng, you said there are so many happy people in the world, why can't there be one more for me? I just want a complete family, why is it so difficult? God won't even grant me a small wish!"
"Every family has its own problems." Lin Nanfeng said behind her, "No one's life is complete. Although they are separated, I can see that they love you very much."
Hu Ying'an sneered, turned around to face Lin Nanfeng, leaned his elbows on the windowsill, and said with a melancholy and sober look:
“Whether they loved me or not I don’t know, but I knew I was a tool.
Without me, the Hu and Zhang families will lose trust, and they will not be able to survive in these turbulent times."
The premise of mutual support is trust, so the Hu and Zhang families got married.
Lao Hu and his mother had no feelings for each other, and they couldn't develop any feelings after marriage, so he gave birth to her.
Hu Ying'an knew all this, and she knew even better what she was.
It's just a tool to maintain peace and trust between the two families.
Lin Nanfeng didn't know what to say. It was the first time he heard her talk about this.
Hu Ying'an handed her the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Nanfeng, drink with me. I don't know if we can meet again next time!"
There is no news about those who left two years ago. News has come back about some of them, but they have all become martyrs.
That's why Hu Ying'an said: "Can we meet again?"
Lin Nanfeng had been trained and was no longer allergic to alcohol. She took the wine from Hu Yingan's hand, walked to her side, tilted her head back and took a sip.
Hu Yingan took out his passbook from his pocket and gave it to her, saying:
"They're all here for safekeeping, so I'll keep them with you too. If I can't come back, you can do whatever you want with the wages. The Hu family doesn't need this little money, and they don't need it."
Ever since Heiyu gave her his passbook, those who were close to him would leave their passbooks with her for safekeeping before going out.
But this time Lin Nanfeng didn't take it. She said, "Give it to your family. It's not like you don't have family."
Hu Yingan ignored it and threw it directly on the desk, saying the same thing:
"They don't even look at this little money. It's not even enough for my stepmother to spend for two days. I can't spend all the money of the Hu family in my lifetime."
Hu Ying'an took the wine and smiled sarcastically.
Lin Nanfeng changed the subject and asked, "Have you invited them to dinner?"
Hu Ying'an burped and shook his head.
Each of them would write a suicide note before going out on a mission.
Hu Ying'an's last words were: I hope the two families can sit down and have a reunion dinner.
"It's still early for departure!" she said, "Let's make an appointment in a few days."
It wasn't difficult to invite the Hu and Zhang families out for dinner, but the difficulty was that she didn't want outsiders to appear at the dinner table. She hadn't figured out how to say it, so she just gave up.
"If you need any help from me, just ask. I'll be at home and won't go anywhere."
Hu Ying'an looked at her and said, "I've noticed you're quite a homebody, Nanfeng. I've always felt like you're different from us."
Lin Nanfeng did not deny that she had lost something before, so she knew what she wanted, and being homesick was not a shameful thing.
"I have a nose, a mouth, two eyes and two legs. How am I different from you?" Lin Nanfeng took the wine from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Hu Ying'an came up to her and looked at her carefully, then said seriously, "I can't tell. It's my sixth sense that tells me."
Lin Nanfeng smiled and said nothing.
The two of them took turns drinking the liquor as if it were water, and after finishing a bottle, they covered each other and went to steal.
After two bottles of wine were finished, Hu Ying'an finally got drunk and cried loudly while hugging Lin Nanfeng.
"No one would be sad if I were gone, they could just have another child, with or without me.
They can live well too. I am such a failure. I am redundant. My name is Hu Duoyu—woo woo woo…"
Lin Nanfeng was also drunk, and she was somewhat conscious after getting drunk.
His body felt weak and he couldn't get up. He lay on the ground numbly, allowing Hu Ying'an to throw a tantrum at him.
Hu Ying'an is just like her personality, very strong when drunk.
She was throwing a tantrum and rolling around like she was abandoned by the whole world.
Lin Zhengran and Qin Shouguo had just arrived home when they heard hysterical crying coming from upstairs. They went upstairs without even putting down their bags.
When he opened the door, the smell of alcohol inside made Lin Zhengran take a few steps back.
Lin Nanfeng was hugged by Hu Ying'an and confessed her heart. Her face, which had originally looked hopeless, turned as dark as charcoal when she saw her mother's face.
Then I saw Qin Shouguo's torn expression.
Simply, decisively, do it once and for all;
——Fall asleep.
Love whoever you want!
