An An chattered all the way, holding Sheng An Ning's arm tightly.
Zhou Hongyun had been waiting at the entrance of the alley long ago. When she saw the car turning, she rushed over to meet it. As soon as An An got out of the car, she went over and hugged An An tightly. Tears flowed down her cheeks before she even opened her mouth: "Oh, my little ancestor, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, you might never see your aunt again."
An An hugged Zhou Hongyun back and said, "Aunt, you are talking nonsense. I can see you whenever I come back. You will live a hundred years."
Zhou Hongyun smiled with tears in her eyes again: "You little girl, how can your aunt live that long? Come home quickly. Your aunt has made your favorite pork elbow in soy sauce and sesame sauce pancakes."
As they were talking, Mu Xiaowan's car arrived. Zhou Zhou got out of the car and called out "Auntie".
Zhou Hongyun was pleasantly surprised. She exclaimed, "Oh my god!" and went over to hold Zhou Zhou's hand. "Zhou Zhou is back too? Why didn't you tell me on the phone that Zhou Zhou was back too? Let me see, he seems to have grown taller, but why is he so thin?"
Zhou Zhou doesn't like to hear the word "grow taller": "Auntie, I'm this tall when I was in college, but I haven't grown any taller. Besides, I'm not thinner, I'm even two pounds fatter than before. Our food is really good, I have to exercise every day to not gain weight."
Zhou Hongyun said happily: "You are still too thin. Look at you when you were little, you were all chubby and nice, but now you are all thin. Look at An An, he will be blown away by the wind."
After a round of greetings at the door, Sheng Anning smiled and told everyone to go home and talk.
Zhou Nanguang had built a grill in the yard and was busy grilling meat for An An and the others. When he entered the house, he stuffed a handful of barbecued meat into each child's mouth and said, "Glad you're back, glad you're back."
As he spoke, he reached out and wiped his eyes.
The family had lunch happily and then sat in the living room to chat. An An was not sleepy at all. She sat next to Zhou Nanguang and patiently answered every question he asked.
Zhou Zhou has also become much more stable. During the chat, he said to Zhou Shixun with regret: "Now the whole country is selecting astronauts. I was not selected because I was too tall. My master was also not selected. If we were ten centimeters shorter, we could enter the astronaut training center."
Sheng An Ning felt that Zhou Zhou was doing well now: "If you can't go in, then you can't go in. How many people envy your height? You can't grow it again, right?"
An An was proud at the side: "If I had taken the pilot exam back then, would I have been able to participate in the astronaut selection? With my height and weight, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhou Zhou glanced at her and said, "No, you can't because you have scars on your body."
Wen Zheng and Sheng An Ning looked at An An nervously at the same time: "How did you get hurt? When did you get hurt? Where did you get hurt?"
An An glared at Zhou Zhou with bared teeth, then hugged Sheng An Ning: "Mom, it's okay. It happened a long time ago. It's just a minor injury on my shoulder."
Sheng An Ning felt sorry for her daughter, and she couldn't bear to blame her, so she glared at Zhou Shixun: "Do you know? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhou Shixun was suddenly named, and he looked at Sheng Anning with a guilty look: "It's been a year. An An and the others were injured when they participated in the arrest operation. The bullet penetrated the shoulder blade."
Sheng An Ning's eyes suddenly turned red, and she glared at Zhou Shixun: "Just wait!"
He turned around and hugged An An: "You said, kid, you didn't tell me that you were injured. Aren't you afraid that I would worry?"
An An laughed and said, "I'm telling you, you're more worried, Mom. These are just minor injuries. There's nothing wrong with them. Look, I'm full of life now."
Sheng Anning was dissatisfied: "Then Zhou Zhou knew it, why don't I know it?"
Zhou Zhou saw that his mother was really sad, so he quickly explained: "That was our joint operation, she only had minor injuries."
Sheng An Ning snorted coldly: "You are grown up now, and you have learned to report good news but not bad news. You have started to hide everything from your mother."
An An hugged Sheng An Ning and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom, I won't do that again in the future, and I'm going to apply to work at Dad's company, so I can go home more often in the future, is that okay?"
Sheng Anning was surprised: "Really?"
An An nodded seriously: "Yes, I have already thought about it. I can write a report when I return from vacation."
Sheng Anning was a little unconvinced: "Is it that easy?"
An An smiled and said, "Of course, because I have performed such missions before, applying for a change of unit is also a kind of protection for me."
Sheng An Ning rubbed An An's head: "You are the one who worries me the most. It's good that you come back, but you can't team up with your dad to lie to me in the future."
An An happily hugged Sheng An Ning and acted like a spoiled child: "I won't do that in the future. If dad lies to you, you have to punish him."
Zhou Shixun sat aside, frowning at his daughter, unwilling to say a word.
After dinner, Zhou Zhou hurried back to report, and Mo Mo also returned to his own place.
An An walked around the house and felt a little bored, so she took Wen Zheng for a walk: "Come on, let's go for a walk."
Sheng Anning glanced at An An and said, "Wen Zheng has been out for so many years, he must not have had a good rest. You should ask Wen Zheng to go to rest earlier. Why is he taking a walk so late?"
An Anle said: "I just want to go and see the changes in the city. There are many places building buildings recently. Wen Zheng and I will go and take a look."
Sheng An Ning saw Wen Zheng had stood up, and sighed inwardly. This child would never be able to escape from An An's palm in this life. As long as he was still alive, he would crawl to An An's side. He waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go, remember to come back early to rest."
An An happily took Wen Zheng out. They were both wearing casual clothes, so An An could buy a string of candied haws without restraint and eat them while walking along the moat with Wen Zheng.
Seeing that there were many more high-rise buildings around, he couldn't help but sigh: "Wen Zheng, you see, it doesn't look like when we were kids. I remember that area used to be a large area of bungalows, and I always went to the store to buy food with your pocket money."
Wen Zheng's eyebrows were gentle, and he smiled dotingly: "Well, but there is a big supermarket nearby. If you want to eat snacks, we can buy them there."
An An glared: "I'm already this old, I'm past the age of being greedy."
Wen Zheng looked at the candied haws residue on the corner of An An's mouth and smiled without saying anything.
An An looked around happily and sighed, "I wonder if the houses here are expensive? Wen Zheng, how much money do you have?"
Wen Zheng wondered why An An suddenly asked this, but answered honestly, "Maybe one hundred thousand."
In addition to his salary, Wen Zheng also saved the pocket money given by Sheng Anning and others, as well as the New Year's red envelopes.
An An exclaimed: "I may have hundreds of thousands of dollars. Wen Zheng, let's buy a house there together. It's close to home."
