Whatever, let things be as they are.
Anyway, she's already chosen to give up.
We will meet force with force and water with earth, fearless and undeterred.
It has to be said that Jiang Anxia now has a very open-minded attitude towards everything.
"You didn't get wet, did you?" Mother An asked with concern, looking at her two daughters-in-law and three grandsons.
"Don't worry, Mom, we didn't get wet." Fang Yanan smiled slightly, reassuring her mother.
“Yes, that’s right! You don’t need to worry.” Song Ruomei chimed in.
"That's good, that's good." Hearing the two say that, Mother An was immediately relieved.
Although she looked them over carefully when they came in, she couldn't help but worry, so she asked a question.
Fang Yanan and Song Ruomei exchanged a glance and then smiled.
They repeatedly expressed their gratitude for having such a wonderful mother-in-law.
"Mom, where's my little sister? I haven't seen her." Fang Yanan looked around the room and couldn't help but ask when she didn't see the unfamiliar figure.
"Help the third son in the kitchen." Upon hearing this, Mother An looked toward the kitchen.
It's been so long, I wonder if Xiaxia is tired?
"Mommy, is that Auntie?" Little An Xingyu tilted her head and looked at the kitchen doorway, her voice still sweet and childish.
He is the second son of An Yuning and Song Ruomei, and is much more immature than his eldest son, An Xinghe.
"Yes, Auntie." Song Ruomei patted An Xingyu's head and answered softly.
“Silly.” An Xinghe said seriously with a stern face.
"Oh! Sister-in-law, you're here!" An Yuxi came out of the kitchen with a grin on her face, but she was also carrying a bowl of vegetables in her hands.
Jiang Anxia followed behind An Yuxi, holding a bowl and chopsticks in her hands.
She wanted to serve the dishes, but An Yuxi scalded the bowl with a hot pot. He worried that she would be heartbroken if she got burned, so he rejected Jiang Anxia's wish to serve the dishes.
Jiang Anxia helplessly shrugged and shook her head slightly.
She can't do it, absolutely can't! Her main job is to help An Yuxi hand things over and wash vegetables.
As for anything else, don't even think about it.
"Of course, I've been thinking about your dishes the whole way here," Song Ruomei replied with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law, I was still thinking about what you made!" An Yuxi said with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll make it when I have time.” Song Ruomei smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Alright! Then I'll wait for Second Sister-in-law." An Yuxi put down the bowl of food in her hand, turned around and walked towards Song Ruomei.
"Third son, you're asking for a beating!" Father An's face hardened, his expression serious.
"Dad, it's alright. This must be Xiaxia! Isn't she really pretty?" Song Ruomei turned her eyes to look at Jiang Anxia standing behind her.
“Yes. Xiaxia, come here, this is your second sister-in-law, Song Ruomei; this is your eldest sister-in-law, Fang Yanan; this is your eldest sister-in-law’s son, An Li; this is your second sister-in-law’s eldest son, An Xinghe, and second son, An Xingyu.” Mother An stepped forward and introduced them to Jiang Anxia one by one.
"Hello, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. How are you both?" Jiang Anxia greeted them with a gentle smile.
"Oh, Xiaxia is so pretty. Come on, Xiaoli, say hello to your aunt." Fang Yanan praised Jiang Anxia as she responded.
"Hello, Auntie." An Li stood next to Fang Yanan like a little adult, calling out to Jiang Anxia in a clear and cheerful voice.
Jiang Anxia smiled, her face full of tenderness.
This reminded her of Jiang Wang, who, like An Li, was still a little baby but acted like a little adult, as if half of the joy of her childhood had been lost.
"He Bao, Yu Bao, call her Auntie." Song Ruomei patted the two little ones' heads and spoke softly.
"Auntie. Hello, Auntie." The two little ones said in unison.
"Alright, alright, let's go eat first! We can talk about the rest after we finish eating." Mother An had been looking forward to seeing this scene for a long time, and now that it had finally come true, she was overjoyed.
But now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's eat first. We can't let our little one go hungry.
"Aren't the eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother coming back?" An Yuxi asked curiously. Why aren't they coming back at such an important time?
"They'll be back, but they won't be leaving until one or two in the afternoon," Mother An said helplessly, glancing at An Yuxi.
She had asked them the same question when they left in the morning, and they all gave her the same answer. What could she say? She could only watch their backs with a helpless look.
“Alright!” An Yuxi nodded, indicating that she understood.
The group walked to the table, sat down one by one, and began to eat lunch.
Occasionally, you'd say something and I'd say something back, which created a very warm and cozy atmosphere.
...
At 2 p.m., the three people who were not home returned one by one.
"You're back. Come and sit here." Mother An smiled and waved to An Yuzhi as he entered.
An Yuzhi paused, feeling helpless, but still walked over to her mother and sat down beside her.
He really wanted to tell his mother that he wasn't a puppy! He shouldn't be treated like that!
Unfortunately, his mother was unaware of his inner thoughts, so everything would remain buried deep within his heart.
"The fourth brother hasn't come back yet?" An Yuzhi looked around and found that everyone except An Yushu was there, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Mm." Mother An nodded gently.
“Dad, Auntie is pretty.” An Li walked leisurely to An Yuzhi’s side and whispered in his ear.
“Yes, it looks good.” An Yuzhi lowered her head, her loving gaze falling on An Li.
"This kid." Fang Yanan shook her head slightly. Even though An Li's voice was soft, she could still hear some of it sitting next to her.
When An Yuzhi heard Fang Yanan's words, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Mom and Dad, these are gifts for you." Jiang Anxia came down from the second floor with a smile, holding two boxes in her hands. She stood in front of her parents and handed them the boxes one by one.
Behind Jiang Anxia, An Yuxi was holding several items, all of which were gifts that Jiang Anxia had prepared for everyone.
"Oh! Good, good, Xiaxia, you've gone to so much trouble." Father An smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly.
Grandpa An, standing to the side, curled his lip, unable to bear looking at his son; he felt utterly disgusted with him.
"Watch your step, how old are you?" Mother An rolled her eyes at Father An.
"Ahem." Upon hearing this, Father An immediately sat up straight and coughed lightly twice, his left fist pressed against his lips.
"Grandpa, this is for you." After a pause, Jiang Anxia turned around and took out a small box.
Upon hearing Jiang Anxia call him, Grandpa An immediately dropped his expression of disdain for his father and smiled.
"Oh, it's always my good boy who's so thoughtful, unlike those other brats." While praising Jiang Anxia, Grandpa An glanced at the four brothers.
An Yuxi touched her nose, took a step back embarrassedly, and looked away, refusing to look at Old Master An.
