An Yuxi glanced back and, seeing that no one was following, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he walk forward with light steps.
Hey! It really is nice to have nothing to do.
"Third son, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to just take good care of Xiaxia? Why do you keep coming here?" Father An scolded when he saw An Yuxi arrive again.
“Xiaxia hasn’t gotten up yet! I’ve kept her breakfast warm in the pot.” An Yuxi didn’t care about her father’s attitude.
Because he was used to it; An's father was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
He was just saying it casually, but if you really don't come, then Father An might be genuinely unhappy.
"That's fine then." An's father was satisfied and nodded with satisfaction, smiling at An Yuxi.
An Yuxi felt extremely uncomfortable after her father's smile, and even felt a chill in her heart.
An's father was more serious and familiar; this sudden laugh was actually quite frightening.
"Come back and sit down, stop teasing the third son." An's mother, who was sitting to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up, breaking the strange atmosphere.
Father An dared not argue and could only obediently walk to the empty bench next to Mother An and sit down.
"Third brother, how is Xiaxia doing lately?" Mother An had a minor illness a few days ago, and Jiang Anxia had come to visit, but not many times.
“It’s fine.” An Yuxi thought about Jiang Anxia’s recent condition.
It's really good. He stays in the yard every day, only occasionally going back to the Shengli Brigade. He doesn't need any of his care at all.
On the contrary, when he occasionally came home late, it was Xiaxia who would leave food for him.
Otherwise, he would have to cook for himself so late.
Looking back now, I realize that Xiaxia was the better one.
"Then... has Xiaxia ever mentioned the Jiang family to you?" What An's mother wanted to know most was the Jiang family's attitude towards Jiang Anxia and Jiang Anxia's feelings for the Jiang family.
"I've mentioned it before. Xiaxia still occasionally goes back to the Jiang family, and she doesn't return until the afternoon," An Yuxi honestly stated.
"Then... third son, when you go back today, tell Xiaxia that we want to meet the Jiang family." Hearing this, Mother An smiled.
Just as she had thought.
She had already prepared gifts for visiting the Jiang family and was just waiting for Xiaxia's approval.
"Mom, why don't you go and talk to Xiaxia yourself?" An Yuxi shrank back, somewhat reluctant.
"Hmm?" Father An snorted softly, his brows furrowing.
An Yuxi took a step back, ready to run away at any moment.
"I'll go." An Yuning walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water, a gentle smile on her lips.
At this point, the person most qualified to discuss this matter was indeed the third brother.
However, the third child is the least suitable.
The third brother and Xiaxia are close. If this matter makes Xiaxia unhappy, at least the third brother can keep her company and cheer her up.
It must be said that An Yuning is indeed very meticulous in this regard.
He can think about things from all angles, much more carefully than others.
"Second son? Are you sure?" What An Yuning could think of, An's mother could naturally think of as well.
After all, she is a meticulous person.
“Okay, I’ll go talk to her. That way, even if Xiaxia wants to refuse, she can just say so directly.” An Yuning nodded gently, her expression serious.
He had considered all the possibilities.
If they agree, they'll prepare a nice gift for your visit; if they disagree, it's not a big problem.
Regardless of whether we agree or not, the appropriate gifts should still be sent to the Jiang family as a token of their gratitude for raising Xiaxia.
They won't ask Xiaxia to sever ties with the Jiang family, because they are neither worthy nor able to.
"You've thought things through more thoroughly," Mother An sighed softly, resting her chin on her right hand and looking calmly at An Yuning.
“It was all taught by my mother,” An Yuning said softly.
The four An brothers each have their own strengths. His strength lies in his cunning.
In truth, it's all because of how An's mother raised them that things turned out this way.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved what they have today.
"Let's not talk about that. Second son, you must talk to Xiaxia carefully, but be gentle, don't be stern." Mother An had no objection to having An Yuning talk to her.
Actually, it doesn't matter who goes, it's just a matter of how close or distant the relationship is.
“I know.” An Yuning didn’t even need his mother to say these things; he understood perfectly well.
"That's good." Mother An was relieved.
An Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he didn't have to say anything.
Thankfully, nothing unexpected will happen to his relationship with Xiaxia; he will still be Xiaxia's closest brother.
An Yu-ning happened to see An Yu-xi like this and rolled her eyes inwardly.
With him blocking the way, what's there to be afraid of?
Seeing An Yu Ning looking over, An Yu Xi chuckled.
It looks incredibly stupid.
An's father simply couldn't bear to look at An Yuxi in front of him.
He truly deserves to be called the dumbest one in the entire An family.
"Alright, since the purpose of our visit is gone, Lao Wei, you can go with Lao San to find Xia Xia!" Having finished speaking, Father An no longer liked the two of them.
He also wanted to spend some time alone with his wife.
As for Li Shun, he really didn't want to go out. He usually stayed in his room and never came out.
Therefore, Li Shun would not disturb them at all.
The only one who could be disturbed was An Yuning, who was at home.
As for An Yuxi, she doesn't live with her, so there's no question of whether she'll be disturbing anyone.
An Yuning and An Yuxi exchanged a glance, their meaning clear in their eyes.
"I'll take the three of them out for a walk first. As for Xiaxia, don't worry." An Yuning remembered that An Yuxi had just said that Xiaxia was still sleeping.
Let's not disturb Xiaxia's sleep for now, let's take a walk outside.
"Whatever you want, just don't let it interfere with important matters." Father An nodded without looking directly at Mother An, clearly not paying much attention to An Yuning's words.
His attention was entirely focused on his mother.
Seeing her father's reaction, her mother rolled her eyes at him.
Honestly, how old are you? You're still as silly and clueless as when you were young.
As they had said, An Yuxi and An Yuning did indeed wander around outside after they went out.
And Jiang Anxia's small courtyard.
Jiang Anxia was already up, wearing a white shirt, a thin sweater over it, and black wide-leg pants.
Her waist-length hair was braided into two fishtail braids that hung down on either side of her shoulders.
She still had half a meat bun in her mouth, her little face puffed out from eating.
After having breakfast, Jiang Anxia tidied up and went to the neighbor's house.
Take out the key that you have prepared beforehand and open the door.
The courtyard was quiet; Gu Yanzhu had returned to the brigade early in the morning.
He needed to go back to get his things, since he would be living in town from now on.
As for Lin Bai, Gu Yanzhu said that he was not as important as the little girl.
(Lin Bai: Biting her lower lip, looking at Gu Yanzhu with a tearful expression. Gu Yanzhu: Indifferent face.)
