Chapter 36, It's You
After going through the era of extinction in later generations, she valued ecology more than An's mother.
"Don't worry, male."
When Uncle Lin and Xingzi came over, the rabbit meat was already steamed. "Uncle Lin is here, wash your hands and have an meal." Uncle Lin had poor legs and feet, so An Qianqian fetched some water and put it on the face rack for Uncle Lin to use.
"It's okay, I can do it myself." After getting to know each other for a long time, Uncle Lin no longer had to be polite to Qianqian, and he couldn't be more polite than her.
"Qianqian, the food you cook is so delicious." At the dinner table, Xingzi was eating with such relish.
Mother An looked at his thin appearance and said distressedly, "If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, there's more. I cooked more rice today."
This child lost his mother when he was young, which makes people feel very sad.
"Thank you, auntie." Xingzi was somewhat shy in front of his elders, completely different from how he was in front of An Qianqian.
After dinner, Uncle Lin and his son left.
I have to go back to sleep at noon and then go up the mountain to work in the afternoon.
The yard suddenly became quiet. Mother An looked at her busy daughter and felt very relieved.
"Qianqian, did Jianwen reply to your letter?" Mother An was a little worried and didn't know whether her son-in-law had received the gift.
An Qianqian counted the days and realized that more than half a month had passed and there was still no reply. It was really worrying.
"Not yet. It's so far away. I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth. Let's wait a little longer." It is really inconvenient. If only there was express delivery, it would arrive anywhere in the country within three days.
What a pity, we still have to wait for several decades.
"I don't know when he will come back. When he comes back, you should get married." She was only happy when they got engaged, but now, Mother An felt a little disappointed.
"Mom, it's too early. I'm only nineteen." The legal age for marriage is twenty.
"Not young anymore. If it weren't for... I would have had a child a long time ago." Nineteen years old is not young.
An Qianqian didn’t know what was wrong with her mother lately. She always seemed a little weird.
When I asked her, she didn't say anything.
She and An's father were both educated youth, and they never returned after going to the countryside.
And then because... forget it, Ang Ge is gone, what's the point of going back?
Mother An had something on her mind. She thought that when her daughter got married, she shouldn't be the only one with her family.
She still has uncles and aunts, but she hasn't been in touch with them for many years. If she tries to get close to them at this time, it might implicate Qianqian.
But she also felt sorry for her daughter and didn't want her to feel powerless in her husband's family, without even the support of her own family.
She was old and couldn't take care of him for the rest of his life. To put it bluntly, it was all her fault that she couldn't give her a brother.
Seeing her mother go into a daze again after saying that, An Qianqian was a little confused.
He put down the work in his hands and sat down next to his mother.
"Mom, can't you tell me what's wrong?" She was really worried about her mother.
When the weather gets warmer, take your mother to the hospital for a physical examination so that any disease can be detected and treated early.
Mother An, who was lost in thought, was brought back to her senses by her daughter's words.
Looking at her daughter, she opened her mouth several times but did not tell her that she had uncles.
Some things just have to be ended.
This is how they treat her and An Ge, their siblings, and it's not much better for Qianqian.
After thinking it through, An's mother stopped worrying.
"It's okay, Qianqian. We'll be planting rice in a few days, so you can stay at home then." She was afraid that her daughter would be tired by going to the fields.
To be honest, An Qianqian doesn't really know how to do these farm chores.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Mom." When the time comes, she will be by his side, doing what she can.
But the two of them didn't expect that before planting the seedlings, Li Yulan came over and told them not to plant, saying that they had planted some extra seeds at home, and they could just go to her field to get the seedlings when the time came.
"Your family doesn't have much land, so how many crops can you use? Just listen to me and don't plant them." Li Yulan smiled and patted her in-laws, saying the most caring words to her.
Seeing her in-laws opening their mouths to refuse, Li Yulan said, "Don't forget, Jianwen is the one who will take care of you in your old age. If he were at home, he would have to do all these chores. If he's not here, his brothers are here."
Now that the in-laws have said this, what else can An's mother say?
"Okay, I won't be polite. I'll go and help when the rice is planted." In the countryside, people who have a good relationship with you will come and help when they are free.
Of course Li Yulan would not refuse, because it would be unorthodox to refuse.
"Okay, let Qianqian cook when the time comes. Her cooking is so delicious." Li Yulan did not forget to praise her daughter-in-law.
Of course An Qianqian had no objection.
After things were settled, Li Yulan went home to get busy.
An's mother said to Qianqian, "Your mother-in-law is a good person. I don't know if your sister-in-law will have any objections." She didn't want the two brothers to be at odds with each other because of these things.
An Qianqian has a scale in her heart, "Tomorrow is a big market, I'll go to the street to buy some things and send them over then." If you receive a favor from someone, you have to repay it.
An's mother had no objection: "Remember to buy something for your sister-in-law this time." Liu Ying was a good person, but she loved to talk, just like a rural woman.
"I know, the weather has changed. There's some Dacron now, I'll buy some back when the time comes." Fortunately, cloth coupons are not needed at this time, otherwise you may not be able to buy them.
Most of these precious materials do not require cloth, like cotton cloth, which requires tickets.
The tickets will be banned in three or four years at most, and the tickets in our home have been almost ruined by her.
"Okay, but your mother-in-law can't be missing either." According to my father-in-law and uncle, it would be better to wait until Jianwen comes back before sending it.
The strict separation between men and women is still taken very seriously at this time.
"I remember." Her mother-in-law was so kind, of course she would not forget him.
Because the day for planting the rice seedlings was uncertain, An Qianqian went to the market the next day to buy some things to express her gratitude.
First, she bought some Dacron cloth to make clothes, but she didn't have the skills to do that.
Forget about buying ready-made clothes, they prefer cloth.
After buying them, she saw rubber shoes for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a few pairs as well.
This oldest type of high boots is also called oil shoes, rain boots, etc., and the names vary from place to place.
This thing will not be outdated for decades.
She bought six pairs at once. She is a big customer.
The salesmen's eyes lit up when they saw her.
At this time, a little girl came over.
"Wow, it's you." The person who came over was none other than Han Meng, "You don't recognize me."
An Qianqian was slapped by someone and was almost scared to death. She turned around and glared at him with some displeasure.
Han Meng felt a little embarrassed: "Last time it was over there." She pointed to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative not far away, "I bumped into you, don't you remember?"
An Qianqian was only paying attention to her own things at the time, so she had no time to look at her. She shook her head and said, "I forgot."
Han Meng was not angry. Looking at the several pairs of high-top shoes placed in front of her, she immediately pulled her away.
"Do you want to buy those shoes?" Han Meng asked quietly after walking away.
An Qianqian nodded, "Yes, now is the time to be busy, buy some back for the family."
