When An Dashan went back, his steps were light, as if he was stepping on cotton, and he kept recalling what An Ning had just said in his mind.
However, An Ning obviously did not find her words difficult to accept. She said without fear, "Dad, let's sneak into the mountains tomorrow and go to the place where you said you saw the Ganoderma. After we pick the Ganoderma, we can buy more land. After we have tested winter wheat, we can plant winter wheat. In that way, our family will become rich immediately."
An Dashan felt that his daughter had just dropped a thunderbolt in his ears. He hadn't digested what happened just now, and another one came. However, thinking about what his daughter said, a bright future appeared in front of him. He was immediately excited and ignored Gao's warning. He nodded and said, "Okay, Daya, I'll listen to you. Let's sneak into the mountain tomorrow."
Seeing that she had convinced An Dashan, An Ning smiled happily. Seeing her daughter smile, An Dashan also smiled. Suddenly, the field was filled with the laughter of father and daughter.
People passing by looked at the father and daughter in confusion, wondering why they were laughing so happily. A woman with a sarcastic look said, "Your son has gone to join the army. We don't know if he can come back alive. He will soon be extinct. How can you still be so happy?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was kicked by the man next to her, who scolded her, "Hurry up and work, stop talking nonsense here."
The woman pursed her lips and dared not say a word. She could only complain wildly in her heart: "We are from the same village, so why is that bitch Gao Yingniang so favored by her husband?"
Yes, this woman and Gao were from the same village. Her surname was also Gao, and her name was Gao Xiaofang. She was Gao's cousin. But Gao had been loved by her parents since she was young, and loved by her husband after she got married. But because she was a girl, she was scolded as a money-loser at home. She had to eat the worst food and do the most tiring work. She finally got married. Her husband treated her well in the first two years, but after giving birth to two girls in succession, he no longer treated her well. He either beat her or scolded her.
At that time, she was madly jealous of Gao, but Gao's good days didn't last for two years. As soon as she gave birth to Daya, An Dashan joined the army. Only then did she feel relieved and hoped that An Dashan would die on the battlefield. But things didn't go as she wished, and An Dashan actually came back, so she began to be jealous of Gao again.
Who would have thought that the An family had bad luck some time ago. It was An Dashan who broke his leg. Later, the eldest son of the An family was captured and sent to join the army. Then the little girl of the An family rolled down the mountain and fell unconscious. So she was happy again and spread rumors in the village that Gao was a jinx. Who would have thought that An Dashan found out and beat up her husband. Her husband was no match for An Dashan and was beaten black and blue. When her husband found out that it was because of her that he suffered an unprovoked disaster, he beat her up after returning home. He was beaten so badly that he didn't get out of bed for three days.
An Dashan and An Ning had no idea what was happening here. They went home happily. When they got home, Gao had already prepared dinner.
The lunch was good today, so Gao didn't prepare anything delicious for dinner. She just cooked some thick rice porridge, baked a few egg pancakes, and stir-fried a plate of cabbage. The lunch had been almost digested a long time ago, so the family of three ate it all up.
After dinner, An Ning took a stroll in the backyard as usual, looked at the rabbit, fed it some grass, and then "picked up" three eggs from the chicken coop and brought them to Gao in the kitchen.
Gao looked at her daughter's trouser legs, which were a little too short, and said, "Daya, you've grown a lot taller recently. I'll make you new clothes tomorrow."
An Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, mother. You are always the best to me."
Gao rubbed An Ning's hair, which was no longer so dry and yellow, and said, "Go wash your feet quickly. You have walked such a long way today. Soak your feet well, otherwise your feet will hurt tomorrow."
An Ning nodded, took the hot water that Gao had prepared long ago, and returned to the room. After washing her feet, An Ning went to bed. She was really tired today, so she didn't go into the space.
