Chapter 13: Settling Down with a Family
Speaking of the An family, they were not originally a wealthy family.
Grandpa An, An Guangyi, was originally a technician in a machinery factory, and Grandma An, Xu Xiaoyu, was an ordinary worker in a textile factory.
Both of them are honest and decent people. After being introduced, they got married and had three sons and two daughters.
The eldest son, An Jianguo, is 52 years old this year. He is married to Jiang Dongmei and has two sons, An Yunchuan, 28, and An Yunzhou, 23.
When An Jianguo was young, he learned a skill in car repair. Later, he went out on his own and opened a car repair shop with his wife.
He was a hard-working man who slowly expanded his shop into a repair shop and lived a successful life.
The eldest daughter, An Xiuying, 49 years old, is a high school English teacher. She is married to Yu Wenlong, a high school chemistry teacher in the same school. They have only one son, Yu Kai, who is 27 years old.
The second son, An Jianshe, is 44 years old. He married Yang Cuiling and they have a son, An Yunchen, who is 21 years old this year.
After graduating from An Jianshe University, he joined a government department as a clerk. Currently, he has been promoted to the rank of section chief, a position in which he has neither made any achievements nor made any mistakes.
At his age, it is unlikely that he will be promoted to a higher position, and he will probably stay in this position until retirement.
My second aunt Yang Cuiling is also in the system, but she is just an ordinary clerk.
Next to Uncle An is Father An Jianhua, who is 41 years old and married to Fang Mingxia.
An Jianhua was originally just an ordinary high school math teacher, while Fang Mingxia worked as an accountant in a trading company.
If nothing unexpected happens, the couple will probably work in their jobs until retirement.
However, life is like this, and some unpredictable things may happen to you.
But An Yunxi's birth made everything different.
Under her butterfly effect, the couple quit their jobs and started their own business.
From one company to multiple companies, from one industry to across multiple industries.
This made him the richest man in Yunzhou, and the couple also successfully crossed the social class barrier.
Whenever relatives in the family talk about this couple, they will involuntarily give them a thumbs up.
In addition to their daughter An Yunxi, the couple also has a 13-year-old son, An Yunze, who has just finished the first year of junior high school and will be promoted to the second year after the summer vacation.
There is also An Xiulan, the youngest daughter of Grandpa An and Grandma An, and she is 37 years old this year.
Xiaogu An married Zhou Yongjun, who works in decoration engineering in the neighboring city. They have a pair of children. Their eldest daughter, Zhou Fangfei, is 16 years old this year, and their youngest son, Zhou Huaian, is only 6 years old this year.
An Xiaogu runs an online clothing store and has accumulated a group of regular customers. She can earn more than 500,000 yuan a year, so her business is pretty good.
My brother-in-law Zhou Yongjun was originally just a contractor, but later An Jianhua helped him after he entered the real estate industry.
This man was also capable. He seized the opportunity to expand the scale and formally established a decoration company, and his business was booming.
There are quite a few people in the An family, just Grandpa An’s branch, not to mention that Grandpa An has two older brothers.
Now that it has developed to the third generation, the total number of people is really a lot.
Although my great-grandparents are no longer with us, the next generation of cousins still keep in touch with us.
But by the third generation, that is, An Yunxi's generation, the relationship was not so close.
After all, in this busy society, children are busy with their studies, and when they grow up they are busy with family and career. There are very few opportunities to meet each other, and over time, the feelings will naturally fade.
My second grandfather An Guangren and my second grandmother Tang Qiu are still alive, and they get together with Grandpa An and Grandma An from time to time.
Today is a good day like this, so I guess many people from both the great grandfather and the second grandfather’s branches will come.
There should also be some people from the An family who will come over.
As the saying goes, no one cares about the poor in a busy city, but the rich have distant relatives even in the mountains.
With An Jianhua's status and position, there would definitely be many distant relatives coming to visit him.
An Yunxi probably doesn’t know many of these people.
But with her dad around, there shouldn't be any big problems.
At this moment, the An family was still greeting each other at the hotel entrance.
"Xiao Xi has brought honor to our An family. She is much more successful than your brothers. Kyoto University is the best school in the country!"
Uncle An said with a relieved smile.
"Xiaoxi has been smart since she was young, and her test scores have never been bad."
Uncle An also likes this niece very much.
He works in a government department, and when his colleagues talk about his niece being admitted to Kyoto University, they are all envious.
My son was admitted to the accounting major of Haishi University of Finance and Economics last year. Although it is also a key university, it is far inferior to my niece.
"Yunchen, you have to learn more from your sister in the future."
An Yunchen and An Yunxi on the side looked at each other speechlessly.
How come my dad/uncle has already started the graduation banquet before it even started?
An Yunchuan and An Yunzhou stood aside and watched their younger brothers and sisters having fun, as if it had nothing to do with them.
"Alright, alright, what's the point of standing at the door? Go in quickly and familiarize yourself with the venue. The guests will be arriving soon."
Yang Cuiling couldn't bear to watch it anymore and interrupted her husband's performance.
So, the whole family surrounded Grandpa An and Grandma An and walked into the hotel.
