Lu Shishen’s fried bacon and dried bamboo shoots were pretty good, and the garlic vegetables were not as good as Yang Niannian’s, but they were not bad either.
An An felt sorry for Yang Niannian. She would pick up food for her and blow on her rice, which made Yang Niannian laugh.
"My ankle is injured, not my hand. You don't have to pick up food for me. Eat your meal and then go feed the rabbit. Your little rabbit is still breastfeeding and can't let it go hungry."
An An shook her head and said firmly, "Aunt, you are more important than the rabbit. Wait until you finish eating, and then I will go feed the rabbit."
Yang Niannian was so touched that she made big promises to An An, "You love me so much. When I make money, I will buy you a big house in the city for your wedding."
An An was not very happy, and said with a wrinkled face, "I want to live with you and daddy. I don't want to live apart from you."
Yang Niannian knew that An An was young and more dependent on his parents. When he grew up, his thoughts would change. There would definitely be a lot of conflicts if two generations lived together, so it would be more comfortable for them to live separately.
An An is still young, and she couldn't understand what she explained, so she followed An An's words and said, "So I want to buy a big house. If we want to live together in the future, the place will be big enough for us to live in."
An An's eyes lit up instantly, and she said with filial piety, "Aunt, when I grow up I will be filial to you and dad. You two have such a good relationship, and when you die, I will bury you together."
Yang Niannian laughed. Knowing that children speak without restraint, she was not angry. Instead, she teased An An, "Your father is six years older than me. What if he died six years earlier than me?"
An An thought seriously for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Then I'll help you find another old man who is kind to you. My uncle died, and my aunt remarried."
Lu Shishen's face turned dark. He wasn't dead yet, but An An was already thinking about finding a new husband for his wife.
Yang Niannian really didn't expect An An's little mouth to be so funny, especially when she saw Lu Shishen's face gradually turning darker, she almost laughed to tears.
"You're so nice. You even know how to help me find an old man who treats me well. But I don't like old men. Although I'm older, my taste hasn't changed. I still like young and handsome guys."
An An nodded heavily, "Then find someone more handsome."
The two of them discussed without paying attention to others what kind of companion they would find for Yang Niannian after Lu Shishen died.
Hearing the two people talking more and more outrageously, Lu Shishen pursed his lips, picked up a piece of bacon and put it in Yang Niannian's bowl, "You still have the energy to think about those nonsense, your ankle doesn't hurt anymore?"
Yang Niannian smiled and shook her head, "When I think about how wonderful life will be in old age, I feel so full of strength that I can almost fly over rooftops and walk on walls."
Lu Shishen looked at her and said, "Don't have so many unrealistic ideas. I have a good physique, so I will have no problem living to my eighties or nineties."
In order to show that she was not biased, An An quickly responded, "Dad, when Auntie dies, I will also help you find a partner. What kind of partner do you want?"
Yang Niannian exploded, staring at Lu Shishen and said, "I don't care. Even if I leave early, you can't find another woman. If you dare to find another woman, I will pretend to be a ghost in your dreams every day to scare you."
No, Lu Shishen was not afraid of ghosts. She told An An worriedly, "An An, you must help me keep an eye on your father. Don't let him find a concubine. If he insists on finding a concubine, when he dies, don't bury him next to me. I will be angry."
Compared to Yang Niannian's childish look, Lu Shishen had a serious expression and looked at her with increasingly deep eyes.
"I will never marry anyone else except you in this life."
Yang Niannian, "Tsk, I don't believe in your sweet words. Men are the best at lying."
Although she said this, the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her thoughts. She felt very happy at the moment and her appetite improved.
An An's face wrinkled as he listened to the conversation between the two. Should he find a companion for his father?
What if dad insists on looking for me?
But when he thought about his aunt turning into a ghost and scaring people, he shuddered instantly. He couldn't find one, he absolutely couldn't find a companion for his father.
Will his father think that he is unfilial?
Woo woo, Dad, I'm sorry.
After dinner, Lu Shishen cleared the table, An An ran to feed the rabbits, and Yang Niannian sat there bored. She hopped on one leg and wanted to go out to see the rabbits, but before she could hop a few times, Lu Shishen carried her back to bed.
"Stay in bed and don't move. I'll clean up the kitchen and then take you to take a shower."
Yang Niannian's eyes sparkled as she hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go. "I love your domineering attitude."
Hearing her bold and explicit confession, Lu Shishen's ears turned red. He turned his head to look at the open door and said seriously.
"Don't make a fuss. It won't be good if An An sees us. I'll go close the door first and then hug you."
"You old-fashioned guy, who wants to hold you anymore?" Yang Niannian felt angry and amused. "Give me the book, I want to read it."
Lu Shishen turned around and handed her the book on the table. "Then you read it for a while, I'll be here soon."
Yang Niannian nodded obediently. She had just been reading for a few minutes when Lu Shishen came into the room again and carried her to the bathroom.
The wound has not scabbed over and will easily become inflamed when it comes into contact with water. Now I can only wipe it with a wet towel.
Lu Shishen wanted to help her, but Yang Niannian refused to do so. Although the two of them had already made love, they had not yet turned on the light to see each other's bodies...
Under the light, she would be so embarrassed to let Lu Shishen give her a bath with his clothes neatly on.
Seeing her firm attitude, Lu Shishen did not force her. He poured water for her and put the basin on a wooden stool so that Yang Niannian could sit on another wooden stool and reach the water without bending over.
"Just wipe it off. When you're done, call me and I'll carry you out."
Yang Niannian nodded quickly, "Okay, you should go out now, and don't come in suddenly, or I will sleep in a separate room from you."
Lu Shishen nodded and said “yeah”, then turned around and went out to close the door. “I’ll be standing by the door watching over it, so you can wash it without worry.”
Yang Niannian waited for a while and made sure that he would not come in before she took off her clothes and took a shower. She was sweaty today and felt much refreshed after taking a shower.
She quite enjoyed having Lu Shishen around, and someone held her every time she went in and out.
When Zhou Bingxing heard that Yang Niannian was injured, he and Wang Fengjiao came to visit her. Although Zhou Bingxing was a rough man, he knew his limits.
Although he came to visit Yang Niannian, he did not enter her bedroom, but chatted with Lu Shishen in the yard.
Wang Fengjiao chatted with Yang Niannian in the inner room. As they talked, they talked about An An and the little rabbit, and Yang Niannian suddenly had an idea.
"Sister Wang, didn't you want to start a business before? Do you still want to do it now?"
Wang Fengjiao smiled, "Yes, but look at my four little brats. If I cook a little later, they will starve to death. I want to do business, but I don't think it will work. When they grow up, I will have to take care of my grandchildren. Sigh... I have been destined to take care of children all my life."
Yang Niannian asked, "What if I can do business in the family compound?"
Wang Fengjiao was a little tempted, "What kind of business can be done in the family compound?"
"Raising rabbits."
Whenever Yang Niannian mentioned business, her eyes were full of stars. "Rabbits have strong reproductive ability. They grow up in three months and give birth to baby rabbits after about a month of pregnancy. It won't be long before they give birth to another litter. Repeating this process over and over again, in just half a year, there will be hundreds of baby rabbits. Then we can build a small mud house outside the family compound and use it to raise rabbits. As long as the scale is good, we can make a lot of money in a year."
