After hanging up the phone, An Hongdou smiled and got up.
Shen Xiangzhi asked him, "What do they say over there?"
"My family has no objection, but you have to go and pick her up." An Hongdou said.
“It’s OK as long as Mom is willing to come.” Shen Xiangzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate for his mother to come and take care of him.
But when he thought about his mother's bad habits, he felt he couldn't stand it and decided to give up.
She had never raised her two children by herself, and her half-sister had been taken care of by her grandparents since birth. Serving a daughter-in-law was really not suitable for her.
"By the way, have you told your mother about my pregnancy?" An Hongdou had a pretty good impression of her mother-in-law, especially since they didn't live together and there were no conflicts. She also often received gifts from her mother-in-law.
She is not someone who needs that thing, she just simply likes the feeling of being pampered.
Shen Xiangzhi looked a little unnatural, "I forgot, I guess she's on break now, I'll call her later to let her know."
"You are truly my biological son." An Hongdou rolled her eyes at him.
As for Brother An, he went home without telling Lin Cuihua and went straight to find Brother An.
The two brothers discussed it and felt that since An Hongdou had given them this idea, it meant that she believed in her heart that this was definitely feasible.
Brother An said, "If we can really get out of the circle in three or four months, raising pigs can make money, but the problem now is that it costs money to contract the forest, buy breeding pigs and build a pig farm. We both have no money, so where will these expenses come from?"
"My sister must be aware of our situation. Since she said so, she must have a plan in mind." Second Brother An was worried. "If you really want to do this, have you told your sister-in-law? Will she agree?"
Ever since Ergouzi brought his wives to the city, they have been thinking about becoming city dwellers. Not only is raising pigs in the countryside, the work is no easier than before, not to mention that it requires such a huge investment. It would be strange if they agreed.
Brother An spoke in a muffled voice, "I'm not going to listen to her this time. She has a lot of hair but little knowledge. She likes to interfere in everything. She wants to be the head of the family but can't do it well. Then she complains about this and that."
She is the one who makes the decisions about what to do with Ergouzi in the city. She is jealous when she sees others making money. She urges him and his younger sister to go to the city to work all day long. Brother An is very annoyed recently.
After a tiring day working in the fields, he had to listen to her nagging when he got home, which made him not want to go home at all.
Second Brother An was particularly aware of this, and knew that Li Xiaomi was not much better than his eldest sister-in-law.
Moreover, she was thoughtful and used to complain to him about her children.
Although he was impatient to listen, he felt bad when he thought about the future of his children.
"Brother, let's do it. The third and fourth brothers probably need to save some money this year, so let's shamelessly borrow from them. If it's not enough, we can ask our younger sister for help. We both have some strength now. At worst, we can just get a little tired in the future. It won't be so unlucky that we lose everything." Second Brother An hardened his heart and said.
Brother An stood up with a heavy heart and said, "Let's go and ask Uncle Er about the land first. We don't know if we can contract the forest."
Because I only heard that the country was going to distribute land to the people, but I never heard that it could be contracted out.
If this is true, then wouldn’t we be like the former landlords?
Andelai has been busy sorting out the farm affairs in the village recently, and he really doesn't know whether the mountains and forests can be contracted. After all, there is no precedent.
He could only ask during the meeting in town and then make plans.
Shen Xiangzhi bought the ticket in advance. As soon as school was over on Friday, he hurried home to get some things, which were gifts that An Hongdou brought for the children at home, and then went straight to the train station.
He stayed at home for one night and then came back with Mrs. An. Zhou Qingcao also came with his son who was four or five years old.
He didn't know in advance that Zhou Qingcao would also come, but even if he knew, he had no right to refuse.
Mrs. An had her own plans when she agreed to let her daughter-in-law come with her. However, it was not convenient to tell her son-in-law about that matter, as it would make them seem too calculating.
After sitting in the car for another two days, everyone in the group looked listless, especially the little guy An Changyuan. He stayed in Zhou Qingcao's arms the whole time in the car. When he got off the car, he looked at the completely unfamiliar place in front of him with curiosity, but he looked listless and unwilling to move.
Seeing that Zhou Qingcao was having a hard time holding the baby, Shen Xiangzhi simply carried the little guy on his back and took a large bag of luggage to get on the bus.
An Hongdou had already made preparations at home. An Changyue was getting older, and Mrs. An couldn't continue to live with her. Fortunately, there were several empty rooms at home, so there was no need to worry about not having enough space.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qingcao looked at the two-story Western-style building in front of him and his heart was filled with joy.
An Hongdou also came out and asked them to go in quickly, while she was busy pouring tea.
Mrs. An already knew that she was pregnant, and this pregnancy was a bit difficult, so she didn't dare to let her work any more. She quickly stopped her and said, "I'll go get some water myself. You should take a rest. I heard from my friend on the way that you couldn't eat. Is it serious?"
"It's okay, I'm just lazy, nothing serious else. I went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago and everything is fine." An Hongdou said.
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. An smiled and said, "It's still in the belly and it's still making trouble. It must be another naughty boy!"
An Hongdou smiled and said, "His father and I would rather have a daughter."
"A daughter is fine too. Having both a son and a daughter is a blessing." Mrs. An quickly changed her words.
No matter whether it is a daughter or a son, she is happy to see the children and their family living happily together.
Thinking of this, I thought of my eldest and second sons who were troublesome and had been causing a lot of trouble at home during this period of time.
It's worrying enough that a person in his forties can't even handle his own family affairs.
Mrs. An also knew that they were discussing raising pigs, and she also knew that they had still been hiding it from her wife. That was why she was unhappy.
People say that marrying a good wife can bring prosperity to three generations, and there is some truth to this.
Of course, she is not just saying that the two daughters-in-law are bad. Who doesn't want to live a good life? It is normal for them to have their own concerns.
But you have to bear the consequences of your own choices. What makes Mrs. An angry is that it was clearly their own decision in the first place, but now they regret it and blame this and that, which is not like a decent person at all.
Zhou Qingcao also brought gifts for the three children. Although the family is not very wealthy now, Fourth Brother An gives the family 30 yuan every month. She has saved a lot over such a long time and generously made a piece of clothing for each of the children.
She started preparing for this the moment they called to pick up Old Lady An. She sewed it by hand over several nights, which was quite thoughtful of her.
