"Brother-in-law, are you serious?"
"What are we going to do with those?"
An Xiangwen looked at the two people sitting beside him with a deep expression on his face. He still did not give up and said, "Brother-in-law, where did you hear this? We just ended the three-year famine. Good times are coming. Why do we need to... reform again? And this is... sigh."
An Xiangwu looked at his elder brother who was asking one question after another and said angrily, "Brother, don't interrupt me. Listen to what your brother-in-law has to say. Brother-in-law, please continue."
"Alas, Xiang Wen and Xiang Wu, although I am a lieutenant general in the Beijing area, I still have to follow the instructions of my superiors. I have also heard some clues, some true and some false, so don't believe them all. But if this matter is true, I am afraid no one can stop it. It is better to make plans first."
"Brother-in-law, although my father was a capitalist, he donated most of his wealth during the Anti-Japanese War. The most common thing in our An family's study is IOUs. Later, when peace came, our An family never asked the organization for a penny. There are traces of this. Furthermore, our An family, young and old, has never exploited anyone. We even donate money and supplies every year. Why would he bother our An family?"
"Xiang Wen, calm down. I know what you're saying. But what can we do about it?"
If the higher-ups really want to reform, shouldn't we still obey their orders? If they tell us to go east, who dares to go west?"
"Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"
The three people in the room were silent for a moment. Xu Chengde sighed and said, "Why don't we take advantage of the fact that things don't get chaotic now and the documents haven't been officially issued yet and leave with our belongings?"
"Where can we go?"
"This...ah."
"Brother-in-law, even if we leave, what will you do? What about Zhiyi and Zhiyan, the siblings?"
"Brother-in-law, what my brother said makes sense. If the higher-ups really investigate, your whole family will suffer. Besides, Zhiyi has studied abroad, so it's not something that can be investigated. Otherwise, you should resign and come with us."
Outside, Xu Zhiyi had just returned from get off work when he heard his uncle say "leave." He pushed the door open and asked, "Leave? Who wants to leave? Uncle."
The three heard Xu Zhiyi's voice and looked at Xu Zhiyi walking towards them, "You heard wrong, no one is leaving."
"Really, Dad?"
"real."
Xu Zhiyi, 20, studied medicine abroad. Later, due to some circumstances, Xu Chengde, Xu Zhiyi's father, sent her to work as a surgeon at a military hospital.
Xu Zhiyi's experience embodies the saying, "Having completed one's studies, one should serve the motherland and contribute to society."
Don't look at her young age, Xu Zhiyi has superb medical skills. Now she can be said to be the best surgeon in the military hospital.
But outsiders always look at Xu Zhiyi with tinted glasses at first glance, simply because Xu Zhiyi has hands as soft as catkins, skin as white as cream, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes.
In short, Xu Zhiyi is so beautiful that people can only see her appearance at first glance, not her ability.
Xiang Wu looked at his niece, who looked 70% like his sister, clutching his chest with a look of pain on his face as he said, "Zhiyi, don't you even believe what your uncle says? Uncle, I'm so sad. Uncle, I'm so sad and heartbroken."
"Uncle, are you sure you want to say you feel bad in front of me?"
"Okay, Xiang Wu, you're already grown up, but you're still bullying Zhi Yi."
Xu Zhiyi looked smugly at his uncle who was pretending to be miserable in front of him, raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm."
"Dad, uncle, uncle, what were you talking about just now? Who wants to leave?"
"Zhiyi, let me talk to your uncle about work. You must be tired after a day's work, so go upstairs and have a rest. We'll have dinner when Zhiyan comes back from school."
"Okay, then I want to eat meat."
"My uncle asked Aunt Sun to make it for you."
At the dinner table, Xu Zhiyi looked at today's meat dish and said, "My uncle is so kind! You have no idea how terrible the food in the hospital cafeteria is. Those chefs think they're so good, bragging all day long that their skills are better than those of restaurant chefs. It's really strange. How are their tongues formed? Why are they different from others?"
"My dear, you've been wronged. If you want to eat something else, tell your uncle and he will buy it for you."
"good."
Xu Zhiyan, who had just returned from school, heard this and said directly: "Uncle, I heard that a Western restaurant just opened a while ago. Let's go for steak some other day."
"Okay, wait until your sister is off duty and your uncle will take you two there."
Xu Chengde, who was standing aside, had a gloomy expression on his face. He was still thinking about what he had said in the afternoon. Although he had some complaints in his mouth, his words still sounded somewhat doting to people.
"Xiang Wu, just indulge them."
"Brother-in-law, if I don't pamper Zhiyi and Zhiyan, who else can I pamper? I would like to pamper others, but unfortunately, my brother doesn't want to get married. Brother-in-law, I'm not saying that since my sister left, no one can control my brother.
You, as his brother-in-law, don't say anything about him. Look at how old he is, and he's still not married. In a few years, no one will want him. "
Xiang Wen retorted, "You're talking as if someone wants you."
"Xiang Wen, although what Xiang Wu said is true, it makes sense. Have you had any thoughts in the past few years?"
"Brother-in-law, if you want to know what I think, I can only say that I just want to make money and spend time with Zhiyi and Zhiyan. As for other things, I don't have any ideas."
Everyone was silent because they all knew that it wasn't that An Xiangwen didn't want to get married, it was just that his heart was already filled with her and he couldn't have another person.
Xu Zhiyi observed the atmosphere at the dinner table and jokingly said, "Uncle, you should consider yourself first. Uncle is rich and handsome. Even if he doesn't go on a blind date, his admirers would line up like a whole street. As for you, you're okay looking, but still a little behind Uncle."
