Chapter 3 A Happy Family
An Ran was standing in front of a simple courtyard carrying a simple luggage.
The familiar scenery around her made her feel comfortable. Although it was just a small and ordinary farmyard, it carried her happy childhood. Her dearest and most beloved ones lived there.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." An Ran stretched out her hand and pushed open the gate. The beautiful peach blossom eyes were no longer cold, but sparkling with a lively and joyful light.
The scenery of the courtyard remains the same, and the peach tree at the corner of the wall has grown lush and green, with many small green peaches on it. Under the peach tree was a rocking chair that looked a bit old, and on the small table next to it was a set of rough and clean teapots. The colorful flowers beside the courtyard wall bloomed brilliantly, attracting butterflies to dance. The courtyard is clean and tidy, giving people a comfortable feeling.
At this time, a woman came out of the house. This was An Ran's mother, Lin Qingwan. She had a slim figure and a beautiful face. But she looked pale and weak.
When she saw An Ran, a pleasant smile appeared on her face: "Ran Ran is back, come into the house quickly. Are you tired? Are you hungry? Mommy will cook for you, okay?"
When An Ran saw this, her eyes became sore and she almost cried. I held it back because I was afraid my mother would worry.
"Mom, I'm not hungry. It's still early, there's no rush to cook." It's so nice to see my family.
"Where's my dad?"
Lin Qingwan was busy helping An Ran move her luggage into the house: "Your father has gone out to work and will be back soon."
"Mom, I'll do it." An Ran quickly snatched the luggage from Lin Qingwan's hand: "You are not in good health, don't get tired."
"Oh, your child. It's your mother's fault. She can't even help you with this little favor." Lin Qingwan sighed lightly.
An Ran hugged Lin Qing Wan and nestled in her arms: "No, my mother is the best and most wonderful mother in the world."
Lin Qingwan smiled and tapped Anran's forehead with her finger: "You are so old, but you still act like a spoiled child in your mother's arms. You don't have any sense of shame." As she spoke, she hugged her daughter even tighter.
The mother and daughter entered the house. Lin Qingwan was busy taking out fruit snacks from home for An Ran to eat. An Ran grabbed her and said, "Mom, you don't have to be busy. I'm not going to be polite when I go back to my own home. Please sit down and rest for a while."
"Okay, okay, Ranran, why don't you go to sleep for a while, and mom will go out to buy some vegetables. Ning'er will be back today, so mom will make delicious food for you in the evening." Lin Qingwan brought a pair of slippers for Anran to change into.
An Ran sat on the sofa and smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish. She blinked her eyes and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to eat the braised pork ribs you made."
Lin Qingwan looked at An Ran lovingly; "Okay, mom will make it for you. Our Ran Ran is getting prettier and prettier."
After saying that, he walked into Anran's room and started to make her bed.
Anran looked at the spotless room and found her things still in their original places. Although I am not at home, my mother often cleans the house.
The room was as warm and comfortable as before. Lying quietly in the soft quilt, smelling the faint fragrance of the quilt, I couldn't help but relax.
......
I had a sweet sleep and woke up peacefully to the smell of delicious food.
She rubbed her eyes, stood up and walked out of the room. An Ran was startled when she was hugged tightly by someone just as she walked out of the room.
"Sister, I missed you so much." The boy's clear voice rang out; "Mom said you were sleeping and didn't let me wake you up. Your dear brother has been waiting at the door for a long time."
Anran smiled knowingly, turned and walked into the room. He took out a brand new cell phone from the suitcase: "Here, here you go. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are going to fart about."
The boy opened the box containing the mobile phone, revealing the phone he had been dreaming of. The boy smiled in surprise: "Sister, sister, you are really my sister. I love you so much."
An Ran looked at her brother, who was a head taller than her, with a half-smile: "We agreed that I'll buy you a cell phone. If you delay your studies because of playing with your cell phone, you'd better watch out."
The young boy An Ning flirtatiously shook his hair and hugged An Ran's neck: "Sister, please don't underestimate your dear brother. For a genius boy like me who has both beauty and talent, studying is just a piece of cake for me."
"Pa" a heavy slap hit An Ning's hand: "You little bastard, who told you to press your sister? Take your hands off, don't tire your sister out." An Ran's father An Guodong said to his son fiercely, and then immediately a loving smile appeared on his face again: "My daughter is back, you must be tired. Hurry up, your mother has cooked your favorite dish for you. Let's go over to eat." After that, he took An Ran's hand and walked towards the kitchen without even looking at An Ning next to him.
An Ning looked at the slap mark on his hand, and then looked at his not-so-strong arm. Just this could overwhelm and tire his sister. It turns out that my sister is the fruit of your true love, and I am just an accident.
Seeing this, An Ran giggled.
The not-so-spacious kitchen was kept tidy, and the table next to it was filled with dishes.
Braised spare ribs, braised prawns, a chicken soup and two vegetarian dishes. They are all delicious and all of them are what Anran likes to eat.
"Ranran, did you sleep well? Sit down and eat." Lin Qingwan took a bowl and served Anran a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her.
An Ran took the chicken soup and took a sip with a satisfied smile: "Mom, your chicken soup is still so delicious. I missed it so much when I was working outside."
Lin Qingwan smiled gently: "Drink more if you like it."
"Wow, it smells so good and rich. Our family hasn't had such a rich meal in a long time." An Ning sat down and picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and started eating: "Sister, I am really grateful to you today."
"Even food can't stop you from talking." An Guodong scolded his son, picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in An Ran's bowl, and whispered, "Eat a piece of pork ribs. My daughter has become thin. She must have suffered a lot outside. Come on, eat more."
"Mom, look at my dad, was I picked up by you?" An Ning acted coquettishly to Lin Qingwan while chewing on pork ribs.
Lin Qingwan laughed and scolded, "Haha, eat your food, you little monkey. You're even competing with your sister for favor. Ranran, take your phone back later, don't give it to this little monkey. See if he can keep talking nonsense."
"No, Mom!" An Ning immediately picked up a large shrimp and put it in Lin Qingwan's bowl: "I will be very good."
Then she picked up another one for An Ran and smiled at her ingratiatingly: "My dear sister will definitely not be so cruel, right?"
"Hurry up and eat your meal." An Ran rolled her eyes at him, chuckled, and picked up some food for her parents. "You're so smooth-talking all day long. I don't know who you take after. There's no one as smooth-talking as you in our family."
An Guodong ate the food his daughter picked for him with a simple smile on his face, feeling very happy. Well, my daughter is so considerate, and the dishes she picks are so delicious. As he thought about it, he glanced with disdain at his conspicuous son who was sitting next to him.
After the family finished their meal happily, An Ning and his son An Guodong rushed to clean up the dishes and clean the kitchen. An Ran and Lin Qingwan, mother and daughter, sat under the peach tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Anran lay in the rocking chair where her father often lay, rocking comfortably and looking up at the stars. Now, such a clean sky can no longer be seen in the city.
"Huh..." She exhaled deeply, a beautiful smile spread across the corners of her lips, and she sighed, "It's still so comfortable at home." She stretched out her hand and stroked the soft breeze, the moonlight sprinkled on her fair and slender hands, creating a faint soft glow.
Lin Qingwan sat next to An Ran with a gentle smile on her face. His loving eyes were fixed on his daughter's angelic face bathed in the moonlight, and he sighed that he could never see enough of it.
"Sister, how long are you going to stay this time when you return home? Why didn't Brother Chen Feng come back with you?" An Ning cleaned up the kitchen and ran to sit next to An Ran and asked.
