"I'm here." said An Changyue.
"Then let me help you carry your luggage in? It just so happens that I may not have seen him before..." Mu Yundong wanted to say Brother Shen, but he was thinking about his niece now, so he couldn't call him Brother.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, An Changyue didn't know what he was thinking, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Old Lady An coming out from inside.
"Changyue, didn't you go back to your hometown?" Mrs. An was startled and looked at Mu Yundong and asked, "Who is this?"
Mrs. An had seen Mu Yundong before, but not many times. At that time, Mu Yundong was quite fair-skinned and had the immaturity and instability of a teenager.
But now, if you are not very familiar with him, you may not recognize him.
"I just missed grandma, so I got off in Jiangcheng." An Changyue excitedly stepped forward and hugged the old lady An's hand, "Grandma, this is Mu Yundong, you have seen him before, do you remember him?"
"Mu Yundong? He is not..." Old Mrs. An stopped talking halfway and looked at Mu Yundong left and right, but couldn't find any familiar look in his face.
As he was old, his eyesight wasn't very good, so he moved closer and touched the person to make sure he was warm, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Yundong couldn't help but hold back his laughter.
It must be said that they are truly a grandparent and grandchild. Even their methods of distinguishing whether a person is a human or a ghost are exactly the same.
"Hello Grandma An, I'm Mu Yundong. I'm fine. I just had missions to complete in the past few years, so I couldn't come back." Mu Yundong quickly explained.
"Okay, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" When Old Lady An first learned that An Changyue's child had died, she felt very upset.
He had seen the young man before. He was fair-skinned and had helped Changyue a lot.
Although he looks a lot darker now, he looks much more energetic and tougher. This is what a real man should look like, and he looks reliable.
Unlike before, he is now a pretty boy.
Mrs. An only dared to think about this in her heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Let's not stand outside. It's so hot. Come in and take a rest." Mrs. An invited people to her home. "Your sister-in-law brought back two watermelons yesterday. I froze half of them in the refrigerator. They're just enough to cool you down."
It is said that Mrs. An has lived here for quite some time and has become friends with the elderly people living nearby.
The twins are now over one year old. Whenever they are taken out, they are immediately surrounded by a group of old friends, each one more popular than the other.
There are also good things in this city, each one rarer than the other, such as electric fans, refrigerators, and a large color TV that her daughter bought for her to entertain her.
Of course, these are rare items in the city. Fortunately, my family is well-off, otherwise ordinary people can’t afford them.
The twins can already walk, but they are still unsteady. When Mrs. An is busy, she puts them in walkers to prevent them from falling.
An Changyue originally wanted to cut the watermelon himself so that Mrs. An could take a rest, but when he saw the twins, he immediately forgot about the watermelon.
An Changyue trotted over and picked up her brother Shen Zening first, teasing him for a few words. Seeing that the little guy didn't recognize her anymore, she turned around and handed them to Mu Yundong without hesitation, "These are the twins my aunt gave birth to last year. Let me give them to you."
Mu Yundong knew how much An Changyue admired her aunt. Even though he was just a little kid, he quickly let go of the suitcase in his hand and took it with both hands.
The little guy was not shy at all. As soon as he got into his arms, he pulled his hat and giggled, showing his standard eight-tooth smile.
Of course, it’s also because I only have 8 teeth at the moment, and the gums at the back are bare, which really doesn’t look good.
Unfortunately, he himself didn't know it and was still laughing happily.
An Changyue went to hug Xiaowu again. Xiaowu was the only girl in the family, so she must have received more attention, but she was not particularly favored.
An Hongdou requires that every child in the family be treated equally.
The example of the original owner being spoiled is there. If she doesn't care and lets this group of people in the family spoil Xiaowu to the sky, it will be difficult for him not to become a bad person in the future.
Especially the three guys of Dabao, every time they were at home, they would rush to take Xiaowu away, leaving Shen Zening alone and being disliked by his brothers. It was so pitiful that his sister, who had always been with him, was taken away again.
Summer watermelons are sweet, especially those chilled in the refrigerator. They are juicy and refreshing in your mouth.
After playing with the twins for a while, I put them back into the walker.
An Changyue's room was still preserved, but she didn't discuss it before she came, so the room was not cleaned up.
Fortunately, she doesn’t need to cover herself with a quilt in the summer. There is a thin blanket in her suitcase and she can just lie down on the mat and sleep.
She stuffed the suitcase into the cabinet and turned around to see Mu Yundong standing in front of the door.
Smiling sweetly, she asked him, "Your family must be waiting for you anxiously, do you want to go home first?"
Mu Yundong suddenly realized that his family didn't know that he was not dead.
Guilty in his heart, he turned his eyes away and said, "Then I'll go back first, I..."
He was so nervous that his hands were sweaty. He wanted to ask her out tomorrow, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.
In fact, if he wasn't still thinking about home, he wouldn't want to go back and would want to be with her forever.
Although the consequence of staying would most likely be being beaten out by her aunt.
But he only has one month this time, and she doesn't know how many days she will stay here. He doesn't want to waste this little time they have together.
Seeing that he had finished speaking but had not moved, An Changyue thought for a moment and asked him, "Do you have time to come out tomorrow?"
"Yes." He answered without thinking. Even if he didn't have time, he would have to make time.
"Then let's meet at the old place, okay?" An Changyue still didn't know what Mu Yundong felt for her, but she always felt that she had a lot to say to this man who had been so kind to her like a brother since childhood.
"Okay." Mu Yundong's face, which had just looked a little gloomy due to his silence, smiled at this moment. It was a sweet and silly smile. "It's agreed. I'll wait for you tomorrow... in the morning."
Maybe he was afraid that she would reject him, but he just turned around and left without even giving her time to speak.
Compared to An Changyue's large suitcase, he only had a very small bag on his shoulders, which contained two sets of clothes and a gift he wanted to give her.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot.
After they all walked out of the door, Mu Yundong came back and put a wooden box in An Changyue's palm.
His already dark face didn't show any shyness, but An Changyue was dumbfounded when she saw his back turning around and running away.
He ran all the way out the door before he stopped, looked back nervously, smiled foolishly and left.
Old lady An was crouching in the corner of the corridor and peeking, her old face looking blue and red.
An Changyue didn't notice it and went back to the room with the box in his hand.
He put the box on his former desk, thought about Mu Yundong's look just now, and burst out laughing.
I thought he had matured after not seeing him in military uniform for two years, but it turns out he is still as silly as before.
She carefully opened the box and found a layer of silk cloth inside. She opened the silk cloth again to reveal the bright red and moist bracelet.
She took out the bracelet and put it on her wrist, which fit perfectly. She looked out the window and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her hand. Her wrist was white and the bracelet was bright, and they looked incredibly beautiful together.
But, isn’t this bracelet too expensive?
She didn't even have any gifts to give him, and she didn't have much money. If she spent it now, her living expenses would be much less in the next three years.
And now that I know Uncle Jiang's feelings for me, I will be even more unwilling to accept his things in the future, including the things he gave me in the past...
Ouch, what a hassle.
But he always said that it was his aunt and uncle who asked them to pass it on to her. Why didn't she forget to call and ask before making a decision?
Maybe she felt at the time that it was impossible for him to cheat her. After all, he was her elder and the one who gave her the gift. How could he cheat a little girl who had nothing from her?
She never thought that he would have impure thoughts towards her.
An Changyue got up and went out. She saw Mrs. An holding a child in each hand and sitting on the sofa playing. She asked her, "Grandma, where are my aunt, uncle, and Dabao?"
"They should be on their way back by now. Tomorrow is the weekend, and Dabao and his two friends are going to his grandfather's house."
After Li Jing took Shen Yuexin away, Shen Wanhua took Mr. Shen home as well.
Mr. Shen was still not happy about living with him, but he could not resist the request of his two granddaughters. He also thought that this place was close and he could see his great-grandson anytime.
Sure enough, the road was not too far, and the three brothers often ran there by themselves, and sometimes were picked up by Grandpa Su.
In addition, the twins are taken care of by Mrs. An during the day, so An Hongdou and Shen Xiangzhi can be said to be the most relaxed pair of parents.
Not long after, An Hongdou and Shen Xiangzhi came back.
Although the two of them were not on the same route, Shen Xiangzhi would go pick her up whenever he had time.
It has to be said that with the help of telephone communication, many things are indeed much more convenient than before, and it also helps the couple to connect and enhance their relationship.
As soon as they entered the room, they were surprised to see An Changyue.
After listening to her explanation, I didn't think much about it.
This girl has been here with them since she was 10 years old. They are more than happy to have her come.
But the fact that Mu Yundong did not die and came back was really surprising.
After a quick dinner, Shen Xiangzhi said goodbye to his family and went out.
An Hongdou knew that he must have gone to see Mu Yundong.
Mrs. An asked An Changyue to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and secretly pulled An Hongdou to say, "Hongdou, why do I feel that the guy named Mu Yundong seems to be a little strange to our Changyue? Do you think this person can be trusted?"
An Hongdou just noticed the bracelet on An Changyue's wrist. The bright red color did not look out of place on the girl's fair wrist and it looked very beautiful.
However, with the reform and opening up in the past two years, although jade is not expensive, it is not worthless as before.
What’s more, it is a rare red jadeite, which costs at least dozens of yuan, which is half a month’s salary for an ordinary person.
Given Changyue's personality, he would not buy such impractical luxury items.
But she is quite open-minded, as she has watched Mu Yundong and Changyue grow up.
If it were in the past, she would have felt that Mu Yundong was not worthy of their outstanding Changyue.
However, this kid suddenly became motivated, and he faked his death for two years before coming back. The mission he carried out must have been a big one. Now he is safe and sound, so he must have returned with success.
If Changyue likes it, the two of them seem to be a good match.
It's the Mu family, and Mu Yundong's mother. No matter how An Hongdou thinks about it, she feels it's a hell of a place.
"Mom, don't worry about whether that boy is reliable or not. We don't know if Changyue has come to her senses yet. Don't talk nonsense in front of her. What if the child hasn't come to her senses yet? Your reminder may just wake her up."
Mrs. An clapped her hands. "That's exactly what I thought. That's why I didn't dare to ask her directly. You said it was because of this matter. This girl has been outstanding since she was young. She always wanted to have a bright future. She just entered college. What if she was led astray by others?"
"That's not the case yet." An Hongdou was amused by the old lady An's appearance and said, "Mom, take Xiao Si and Xiao Wu out to play for a while. I'll test Chang Yue's attitude and see what she thinks."
"Okay, then you go and find out. Your elder brother and sister-in-law are not around, so you are the only one who can keep this girl under control." Mrs. An sighed.
An Changyue washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, and returned to the living room with a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
An Hongdou asked her about her life in school and how she got along with her classmates.
Everything else was fine, but when it came to Jiang Huai, she seemed a little embarrassed.
She didn't tell him that Jiang Huai wanted to date her. After all, their relationship was already there, and it would be awkward to say it out loud. She was also afraid that it would affect the relationship between Jiang Huai and Shen Xiangzhi.
But when talking about the things they asked Jiang Huai to pass on, An Changyue said that she had everything she needed at school, and she wouldn't have to ask Uncle Jiang to send her things all the time in the future.
I didn’t know about Jiang Huai’s feelings for me before, and I just thought it was my uncle and aunt who loved me. But now that I know and she doesn’t intend to respond, it’s better to keep some distance.
When An Hongdou heard that Jiang Huai had been treating her and Shen Xiangzhi to meals and gifts every now and then in the past six months, and even gave her a mobile phone when he came back, she was shocked.
She had this plan, but she and Shen Xiangzhi agreed to wait until the summer vacation was over before giving it to her.
Moreover, she knew that An Changyue would definitely come here, and she had no plan to let Jiang Huai pass it on.
An Hongdou is not an innocent girl, so how could she not understand this routine?
With such thoughtfulness and unbridled financial support, which woman can resist it?
Fortunately, Jiang Huai is not here at the moment, otherwise, given An Hongdou's current mood, it is hard to guarantee that she would not beat the person out.
She was just worried about her niece being alone in Kyoto, so she asked him to help take care of her. This kind of care would be for when Changyue needed help with something at school that she couldn't solve, rather than asking him to approach the girl every now and then under this pretext.
