As the Chinese New Year approaches, Maoer Hutong becomes bustling with activity and excitement.
"Wow, Lao Jiang and Ai Fen bought so many vegetables!"
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang came back from outside with their three sons, carrying a lot of bags. The smile lines at the corners of their eyes could kill a fly.
"It's the same for your family. We work hard all year just for this day, so we have to have a good meal."
After receiving Chen Qiangwei's telegram three days ago, Uncle Jiang, who was over 1.8 meters tall, laughed like a fool.
His family's Weiwei is coming back for the New Year, his family's Weiwei is coming back to see him! Well, as for the "bringing a partner back" in the back, Uncle Jiang automatically ignored it.
The neighbor flattered him a little more, "Your family is the best. Every one of you is a regular employee. We can't compare, we can't compare."
There are working couples in Maoer Hutong. On the contrary, there are quite a few of them. However, it is rare for all the children in Jiang Dajiu's family to have formal jobs.
I walked a few steps forward and repeated the same scene. It felt like I had walked thousands of meters in just a few dozen meters.
On the train, Gu Anyang poured a cup of hot water for Chen Qiangwei, his hands shaking a little.
Chen Qiangwei comforted her, "Don't be nervous, my uncle and the others are very easy to talk to."
Gu Anyang nodded seriously, "I'm not nervous, not at all, it's just that my hands are not under my control."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hard sleeper car burst out laughing.
A young man wearing glasses adjusted his glasses frame and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. This is your first time meeting your mother-in-law, right? It's exactly the same as mine."
Gu Anyang nodded calmly, "Yes, it's my first time and I have no experience."
"Pfft, hahahaha, boy you are so funny."
Gu Anyang didn't know what these people were laughing at. Who wouldn't be like this when meeting their partner's family for the first time? His scalp tingled when he thought of the last time his two older brothers-in-law had gone to see Weiwei and raised their eyebrows and looked at him with leer. If his two older brothers-in-law had acted like this, he felt like he couldn't handle the situation when facing his uncle and the other three older brothers-in-law.
Chen Qiangwei's expression remained calm. As long as she was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
Since comfort doesn't work, try other ways to divert his attention.
"Gu Anyang, come here for a moment. I don't quite understand a question."
When Gu Anyang heard Chen Qiangwei’s call, he immediately stepped forward. In this vast world, Weiwei is the greatest.
"Let me take a look."
He took the physics exercises from Chen Qiangwei's hand and looked at them carefully. Physics and chemistry were his strong points. After a quick glance at the questions, Gu Anyang knew how to solve them.
As long as he doesn't think about meeting Uncle Jiang's family, Gu Anyang is still the same Gu Anyang. He answers Chen Qiangwei calmly and confidently.
The people in the carriage saw that the young couple was studying seriously and didn't want to disturb them, so they started to do their own things.
Another day passed, and the train was getting closer and closer to Beijing. Now even talking about exercises could not distract Gu Anyang from his nervousness.
Chen Qiangwei looked helplessly at Gu Anyang, who looked like he had Parkinson's disease. "My uncle and the others are not scary at all. You will leave a bad impression on them like this, which will really reduce your points."
Upon hearing this, Gu Anyang put his feet together, trying to make them obey, but unfortunately, not only did his hands not listen to his brain, but his feet were also separated from his brain.
He looked at Chen Qiangwei with a wry smile. He didn't want to act so cowardly, but when he thought about what if Uncle Jiang didn't like him and didn't want him to be with Weiwei, he couldn't control himself at the thought of this possibility.
Chen Qiangwei encouraged him, "No matter what, you are the best in my heart. No matter what the uncles and aunts in the alley think of me, my thoughts will never change."
What? Will Weiwei be laughed at for his cowardice, accused of finding a partner who's not worthy of the stage? No, absolutely not.
Gu Anyang's face straightened, his hands and feet stopped shaking, and he stopped stuttering.
"How do I look like this?"
Chen Qiangwei gave him a thumbs up. As long as he performed normally, Gu Anyang was still very good.
At three o'clock in the afternoon at the Beijing Railway Station, Uncle Jiang and his three sons were pushing a bicycle each and looking at the tracks leading into the distance.
Uncle Jiang muttered, "Why hasn't it arrived yet after so long? This damn train is always late, it never arrives early."
Jiang's eldest cousin scratched his ears. His father had repeated this sentence over and over again. Weiwei sent a telegram saying that she would arrive at three o'clock this afternoon.
His father ordered the three of them this morning to take a leave of absence and come to the train station to pick up Weiwei this afternoon.
They were happy to come and pick someone up, but waiting for someone at the train station two hours in advance in such a cold weather made him very depressed, but he didn't dare to contradict his old man.
This old man gets more stubborn as he gets older.
Jiang's second uncle looked at his watch and said, "Dad, don't worry. It's already three o'clock. I guess the train will arrive soon."
As soon as the second uncle of the Jiang family finished speaking, he saw the eldest uncle of the Jiang family pointing to the front of the track and shouting happily like a big child, "Look, is the train coming?"
"Woo, woo, woo... clang, clang..."
First, the sound of a train whistle came from far away, and then the sound of wheels colliding with the rails was heard.
The three cousins of the Jiang family straightened their collars in unison, stood upright on the platform, and stared at the train with three pairs of tiger eyes.
Listening to the arrival information broadcast on the radio, Gu Anyang put his packed luggage together and secured it with a carrying pole.
"We'll go down after others have gone down. There are so many people, it will squeeze you in a while."
After hearing this, the people in the carriage who were already carrying their luggage and preparing to get off stopped and went back to the bed to sit down.
Yes, why didn’t they think of it? In previous years, they would follow the crowd and squeeze out, and they didn’t even know where their shoes were after leaving the station.
After waiting for there to be no one around, Gu Anyang picked up the shoulder pole and asked Chen Qiangwei to follow him. The two of them walked out of the train leisurely.
Uncle Jiang, who had been waiting anxiously on the platform, finally saw his niece and quickly jumped over the fence and in.
"Weiwei, Weiwei, here, uncle is here."
As he spoke, he ran towards Chen Qiangwei. Seeing Uncle Jiang's naughty movements, Gu Anyang suddenly stopped shaking.
Uncle Jiang loves Weiwei so much, so what if he is embarrassed by them?
Chen Qiangwei also ran towards Uncle Jiang, "Uncle, I'm here."
The uncle and nephew reunited successfully. Uncle Jiang took Chen Qiangwei's hand and walked out, "Weiwei, come on, go home with your uncle. Your cousins are here to pick you up."
Chen Qiangwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle, wait a minute, Gu Anyang is still behind."
Gah...
Uncle Jiang looked back with his neck stiff, and saw a big fool carrying a shoulder pole and chasing Weiwei.
Uncle Jiang glanced at his niece with a puzzled expression, "Weiwei, I know you're heartbroken by Wang Hongjun, but there's no need..."
There is no need to find a brat whose appearance is completely different from Wang Hongjun.
