Chapter 174 Returning Home
An Ran's family happily discussed matters concerning returning to Anjia Village. Mr. Lin and his mother looked reluctant to let them go, as they also wanted to go with them.
But when I think about the small house at An Ran's home, I can only sigh in despair. Even if they went, there wouldn't be enough room for them to stay.
An Ran saw the expectation in the eyes of the two elderly people and felt sorry for them. She could only hold Lin's mother's arm and comfort her softly.
"Grandpa, grandma, we will be back soon. After we go back, we will find someone to renovate and enlarge our house. Next year's New Year, I will invite you to go to Anjia Village to celebrate the New Year together."
Mother Lin looked at Anran's sweet and pleasing smile and touched her jade-smooth cheek lovingly.
"Okay, okay, then grandpa and grandma will wait for Ranran to invite us to Anjia Village to celebrate the New Year."
"Of course, my aunt wants to go too."
Qin Shuhe moved forward and hugged An Ran in his arms.
"Your grandparents have all been there, but I haven't been there."
Thinking of this, Qin Shuhe glared at Lin Qingtang with some indignation. It's all his fault. He clearly found Qingwan, but he lied to me and said he was taking my mother-in-law out to relax. Tonight, let him reflect on himself honestly.
"Aunt, you will definitely be invited. When the time comes, I will prepare the best room for you."
"Of course, there are us too. We also want to ride Xiaobai."
Lin Huaian and Li Changan were not to be outdone when they heard their eldest brother and Ning'er bragging about the big tigers they had ridden for a spin. At first they thought they were bragging, but after asking their uncle they were convinced, and they were very envious.
"You all can go, but you have to wait until next year. My small house is too small to accommodate everyone now, so I will arrange a bedroom for each of you. You can stay as long as you want."
An Ran’s cake was big and round, making everyone smile.
The next morning, An Ran's family packed their simple luggage and happily set out on their journey back to Anjia Village under the reluctant gaze of the Lin family. As the future son-in-law of the An family, Xiao Ze, of course, followed them.
Lin Huaizhi and Lin Huaian volunteered to drive An Ran and others to the airport.
The group was laughing and talking all the way, except for An Ran and Xiao Ze, who were whispering in the back seat of the car.
"Brother Xiao, it's almost Chinese New Year. Are you sure you don't want to go back to the Xiao family to celebrate the New Year?"
"No."
Xiao Ze shook his head with a firm expression, and said as he touched An Ran's long hair with a doting look on his face.
"From now on, I'll go wherever you are."
"That's not good. The Spring Festival is a time for family reunion. If you don't go back, Uncle Xiao and the others will definitely miss you."
Xiao Ze ruffled An Ran's hair and sighed helplessly at her.
"Ran'er, do you really dislike me? Don't you want me to spend more time with you?"
"Hate."
An Ran slapped his hand away, pouted her small and delicate mouth, rolled her eyes at Xiao Ze coquettishly, and tidied her hair with her slender white fingers.
"Brother Xiao, I am considering our future. Uncle Xiao is a loving father to you, you can't let him down no matter what. Now that you refuse to go back to my house, Uncle Xiao will definitely not blame you. Can you guarantee that he won't vent his anger on me? You can't stay away from the Xiao family forever, right?"
"Haha, I knew that Ran'er is a sensible and considerate girl. Don't worry, I'll go back to see her after a while."
Xiao Ze closed his eyes and relaxed his body, feeling the pleasant atmosphere in the car. This was a feeling he had never experienced before. The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the An family made him feel deeply attached and reluctant to leave.
After a long journey, there was no trace of fatigue on anyone's face, especially the young men who looked full of energy.
As dusk approached, Anjia Village finally came into view. Everyone was excited to see their familiar homeland.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
Yadong ran towards his home like a rabbit. Yahui and Yanan politely accompanied Mr. An and Mrs. An. Yanan pointed to a row of houses in front and introduced them to him.
"Grandpa An and Grandma An, this courtyard is my home, the one next door is my uncle's, and the one over there is Yahui's home."
"Yeah, not bad, not bad! It has a bit of the flavor of life."
Mr. An had hardly ever seen such simple country courtyards. Although the courtyards he saw were simple, they looked clean and tidy, making people feel comfortable.
The group was walking and looking around. At this time, a well-dressed young man came towards them. When he saw Yanan and Yahui, he stopped, looked them up and down and teased them.
"Hey, isn't this Yanan Yahui? I heard you went to Jing City to make a fortune? Tsk tsk, it seems you are not doing very well."
Yanan glanced at the young man indifferently and smiled faintly.
"It's just okay! I'm going out to make a living!"
"hehe……."
The young man straightened his neat suit and pretended to pat and wipe away the non-existent dust on his shiny leather shoes.
"I told you, a pheasant can never turn into a phoenix. Beijing is not a place where you two poor guys can make a living. Do you want me to find you a job?"
"Li Hui, you are still looking down on others as always!"
Yahui couldn't stand his ostentatious attitude and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
"Tsk tsk, I, Li Hui, can't say anything else, but my ability is pretty good. Look, I also work in Jing City. Now I'm the store manager of a supermarket in Jing City. Do you want to follow me after the New Year? It would be nice for you brothers to work as odd jobs in my supermarket. Haha..."
Li Hui proudly shook his shiny hair, and the next moment he saw An Ran standing behind Yanan. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and stood there in a daze.
Xiao Ze saw Li Hui staring at An Ran, with a coldness emanating from his body and a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. An Ran noticed Xiao Ze's displeasure, reached out and held his hand, and shook her head at him.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Hearing An Ran's clear voice, Li Hui suddenly woke up as if from a dream and quickly stood in front of the crowd.
"Who is this beautiful lady? Let's add each other's contact information!"
He took out the latest model of Apple phone from his pocket and looked at An Ran with what he thought was the most handsome smile.
An Ran gave him a look of disgust, walked away from him without saying a word and without looking back. Xiao Ze glanced at Li Hui coldly and left with An Ran.
"You are such a toad who wants to eat swan meat, but you don't even take a piss to look at your own character."
An Ning glared at Li Hui unhappily and chased after An Ran.
"Sister, wait for us."
The An family head and wife, as well as An Feiwan, Lin Qingwan and other elders stood aside without saying a word, watching the young people with interest.
"Hahaha……"
Yanan and Yahui were smiling as if they deserved a beating. Li Hui got angry and glared at him hatefully.
"What are you laughing at? I'm the manager of a supermarket now. My boss said that he will give me a promotion next year. I'm destined to have a bright future. What can you compare with me?"
"Yes, yes, you have no future! We can't compare. Didn't you look down on my sister the most in the past, saying that they were a poor family? Why do you still want to flirt with my sister now?"
As soon as Yahui finished speaking, Li Hui exclaimed in surprise with a look of astonishment.
"Is she An Ran?"
