Chapter 172 Gathering Together
Hearing Qin Shuhe's words, Yadong shrank back quietly. He should be the one who led Brother Huai'an astray as Aunt Qin mentioned.
Lin Huaizhi and the others all looked at Yadong, and when they saw him secretly retreat, they were secretly happy. I have to say, this kid is quite self-aware.
Several elders didn't understand their quarrel, but they were relieved to see the younger generations getting along harmoniously and having strong feelings for each other.
"Hahaha... I'm happy today. I'll take out my treasured wine and have a few drinks later."
Old Master Lin liked to see a harmonious family. He clapped his hands and laughed as he looked at the head of the An family.
"Brother An, we have to have a few drinks later.
"That's natural."
The head of the An family is also a wine lover, and he would have a few drinks from time to time when he is at the An family.
"Oh, it's snowing outside, and it's freezing cold. How about we have hot pot today?"
Seeing that Mr. Lin and the head of the An family were in high spirits, Qin Shuhe made a suggestion. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone agreed with her.
"OK."
“Hotpot, I like it!”
"Come on, let's go prepare the dishes for the hot pot."
"Brother Huaizhi, go out and buy some beef rolls. I love them."
"Yadong, you only know how to order Brother Huai'an around, why don't you go?"
"I'm young, am I afraid of the cold?"
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. And you think I'm young... Ugh... You're so hypocritical..."
“Hahaha… bitches are just pretentious….”
"Boss, whose family are you from..."
A group of young men went to the kitchen, playing and laughing. Since Mrs. Liu left, Lin Huaizhi and the others have mastered cooking skills.
Washing and picking vegetables, washing dishes and putting them on plates, working together, there is no trace of the former pampered life.
Xiao Ze sat next to Lin's mother, looking at the way the Lin family got along with each other with envy. It turns out that family members can be so casual and relaxed when they get along with each other, without having to follow etiquette or be polite and distant.
"Brother Xiao."
An Ran had come out of Lin Qingwan's arms and quietly held Xiao Ze's hand. Xiao Ze turned his head to look at An Ran, and held An Ran's soft little hand tightly with a doting smile.
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Why don't you go take a rest and come down to eat when the meal is ready."
"I'm not tired."
Xiao Ze shook his head, his heart filled with happiness.
"How about we go help with the cooking?"
Xiao Ze looked at the envious eyes of the crowd, and An Ran saw it all. He is not a cold-hearted person by nature, it's just that his living environment makes him indifferent.
"Can I? But I don't know how to do it."
Xiao Ze really wanted to participate in An Ran's proposal. It’s just that I’ve never been around so many people before, and I’m afraid that I’ll be clumsy and cause more trouble.
"Of course. Brother Xiao, the roast chicken you made was pretty good. I think you're very talented. Besides, when we get married, someone has to know how to cook."
An Ran stretched out her slender, smooth and fair jade hand and gestured in front of Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze looked at An Ran's small hands, as white as jade, and nodded in agreement. Ran'er's hands are white and tender, and are indeed not suitable for doing rough work. He would feel bad if it got hurt or roughened. It seems that he also needs to start learning how to wash clothes and cook.
"Ran'er, what you said makes sense. Don't worry, I will do all the work inside and outside our house in the future."
"What about me?"
An Ran smiled slyly when she heard this.
"Just command me."
Xiao Ze, whose heart and eyes were filled with peace of mind, forgot that as the young master of the Xiao family, he didn't need to do the rough work like washing clothes and cooking.
Several elders in the hall watched An Ran conquer Xiao Ze with just a few words, and they were all speechless as they looked at Xiao Ze, who was smiling happily.
This child is so honest!
After all, it is not your own child who suffers. Besides, girls are delicate by nature! Everyone gritted their teeth, convinced themselves against their conscience, and turned their heads away, pretending they didn't see it.
Who cares? It’s a two-way fight.
"It's time to eat."
The guys worked very quickly and prepared the ingredients in no time. An Ning ran over excitedly, shouted, and then quickly ran to the restaurant.
"Hahaha, Brother An, Sister An! Let's go and try the children's cooking."
An Feiwan and Lin Qingwan stepped forward to support the An family's head and wife, while Lin Qingtang and Qin Shuhe supported Old Man Lin and his wife, and the group came to the Lin family restaurant in a mighty manner.
Fortunately, the Lin family restaurant was spacious, and Lin Huaizhi and his friends prepared two tables. The copper pot in the middle of the table was steaming and emitting an enticing aroma.
Mr. Lin, the head of the An family and several elders sat at one table, and Lin Huaizhi's brothers and a group of young men sat at another table. Everyone was laughing and talking, it was very lively.
"Xiao Ze, you and Ranran can sit at the same table with us."
Old Master Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Ze, who was standing aside at a loss.
"Are you not used to the noise?"
Xiao Ze quickly sat down with An Ran and smiled shyly.
"Grandpa Lin, the house is very lively and warm. I have never seen such a lively scene of a family together. It really makes people envious."
"Hahaha...what are you envious of? From now on, you will be a member of our big family."
After saying this, Mr. Lin raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled at everyone.
"Come on, come on, let's welcome Xiao Ze to join our big family. Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone said in unison, with smiles on their faces.
Facing everyone's smiles, Xiao Ze felt a strange feeling in his heart that he had never felt before, sour and aggrieved! It’s warm and cozy!
......
Xiao Ze also stayed in the Lin family. He saw that the brothers from the Lin and An families practiced hard every day, so he started to practice with them every day.
Originally, the young men still had a vague hostility towards the man who suddenly appeared and snatched their sister away.
After they witnessed Xiao Ze's profound cultivation and powerful fighting skills, they were all conquered by his charm.
Friendship between men comes so easily. Yadong and An Ning are usually more lively in character, and now they follow Xiao Ze around every day, calling him "Brother Ze" all the time.
As the New Year is approaching, the An brothers have been away from home and in Beijing for nearly half a year. The past six months have brought about earth-shaking changes in their lives.
An Guoyao and An Guoxing also called to ask when the boys would go home for the New Year. Just as the three brothers were chattering about when to go back, An Feiwan also came over to discuss with them.
"Yanan, Yahui, Yadong, the New Year is coming soon, do you want to go back?"
"Uncle."
The three of them stood up together and asked An Feiwan to sit down. Yanan said excitedly.
"We are discussing when to go back. Uncle, do you want to go back?"
"hehe."
An Feiwan chuckled and replied.
"Of course we will go back too. Your Grandpa An and Grandma An also said they want to go and see us. Let's agree on a time and go home together then."
"Haha, I want to fly back on my sword. It's so impressive just thinking about it."
Yadong had a boastful look on his face as he imagined himself flying back to Anjia Village on a sword and everyone's expressions of envy and surprise.
“Pah.”
Yahui slapped him hard on the head and gave him a mocking look.
"Did you forget to bring your brain? How can you show off something like this? With your mediocre skills, you will be killed by your own stupidity sooner or later."
