Chapter 49, He Anwen
But my sister was a married daughter after all, and it was impossible for her to always help her parents buy medicine, so she stopped going to school after graduating from high school. At that time, she didn't encounter a good opportunity and was unable to get a job in the factory.
When Anwen heard that he could learn how to make wine from his sister-in-law, he was more excited than anyone else because he wanted to help reduce the burden on his family.
His mother said she wanted to arrange a blind date for him, but he had heard others talk about his family's conditions, and they disliked his poor family conditions and the fact that he had a sickly child, so the girl's family was unwilling.
He understands all of this, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any ideas.
Seeing An Wen so excited, Mei Xue didn't react at once. She didn't know what was going on in Uncle Zhengxi's family.
An Liang knew about it and sighed, "Sister-in-law, you teach Brother An Wen, I won't learn it." He also wanted to learn, but...
Mei Xue frowned, "I didn't say I would only teach one, did I? If you want to learn, I will teach you, but you still have to buy the materials yourself. Now it depends on whether you are willing or not."
Mei Xue planned to ask her grandmother about An Wen's family later.
"Ah, sister-in-law, I can learn it too." An Liang said stupidly.
"Haha, you don't have to learn it." Mei Xue rolled her eyes at him unhappily.
"No, I will learn. I want to learn. Haha. When I learn, I will buy candy for my sister-in-law."
Children are children.
"Don't give me that. I don't eat candy." Mei Xue rolled her eyes.
"Okay, ask Anlin and Anshan when you see them. Never mind, I'll go ask Aunt Ting myself. You can go home and ask them now and see what their family members say."
Mei Xue drove the two of them back home.
Then she went into the kitchen, intending to ask about Grandma Anwen's family.
When she saw someone coming in, Grandma He heard everything that was said outside and started talking without Mei Xue saying anything.
"You want to know what happened to your uncle Zhengxi's family? Sigh, it's nothing shameful."
Grandma He told Mei Xue about He Zhengxi.
When he was a child, his family was poor and every family had a hard time. He Zhengxi was also a handsome guy when he was young, but he had one bad point.
That is, he injured his foot when he was working in the field when he was a child. It is not obvious on weekdays, but he cannot do heavy work.
For work like cutting down trees, he could only cut them but not carry them, which meant that his body couldn't bear the strain.
Once the force is applied, his feet lose power and become powerless.
He was fine on weekdays because of his injured muscles, but when it was windy and rainy, that foot would half cost him his life.
In comparison, among the He brothers, his family conditions were the worst, and he had to raise two children, so he suffered a lot in his daily life.
Life at home didn't get a little better until He Hongmei got married.
Hongmei is also a filial daughter. After she got settled in her husband's family, she started buying medicine for her father's treatment. Even if her father couldn't be cured, at least it would alleviate his pain.
He Anwen was able to go to high school thanks to his sister, but opportunities did not wait for him. After graduating from school, he wanted to go to college, but unfortunately, his family had no money.
And then I went home.
The school originally arranged a job for him, but is it so easy to get a job in the city?
He is not good at talking and his relationship with teachers and classmates at school is average. Even if he gets the job, he has no backdoor.
I was also bullied after entering.
Finally, one of his teachers couldn't stand it anymore and found someone to buy his job. The money he earned allowed his family to live better for a few years.
But money will run out eventually, and after a few years, there may not be much left.
After hearing what her grandmother said, Mei Xue sighed, "Everyone's life is not easy."
"That's right."
"Grandma, don't worry. I will build you a big house in the future, give you good food and clothes, and make those old ladies envy you." Mei Xue walked forward and hugged her grandmother, sighing.
Grandma He patted Xiaoxue's hand, and her eyes unconsciously turned red.
Even her eldest grandson had never said these thoughtful words to her. From the beginning, she was pointed at and criticized in the village, and later her notoriety spread. Who knew the pain she went through?
"Your Aunt Xilian and Aunt Meilian are both good people. If you think Anliang and Anwen can use it, just give them a hand. Grandma won't force you."
Afraid that Xiaoxue would overthink it, Grandma He quickly explained.
"Well, I listen to grandma."
Compared to the intimacy between Mei Xue and Grandma He.
Things are not so safe here for Anliang and Anwen.
"Anwen, do you want to make wine with Xiaoxue?" Aunt Xilian looked at her son's excited expression, and she couldn't say no.
It was this family that dragged him down.
An Wen nodded and said, "Mom, I want to learn." There was determination in his eyes.
Aunt Xilian opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but she couldn't say the words, "Okay, you make your own decision, take the money."
She took out a handkerchief from the straw at the head of the bed. No one knew how much money was inside it, but Aunt Xilian gave it all to Anwen.
An Wen opened it, counted it, took out ten yuan from it and returned it all to his mother, "We will make less this year. We have a big vat at home, and I will go to the mountain to pick the plums myself. But the wine costs money. Don't worry, mom, I will definitely learn it carefully."
"King, ten dollars is not enough for you. Take another five dollars, just in case." Seeing her son so serious, Aunt Xilian also took the risk.
There is really not much money at home. The money from selling wood last time has not been paid yet, and we have to wait until the New Year.
But their family doesn't have much wood, so they can't compare with other families. This money is all left over from the first half of the year, and some is from selling vegetables at the market.
An Wen finally took the five dollars and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."
Compared to Aunt Xilian's reluctance and unwillingness, Aunt Meilian's situation is much easier.
She directly gave twenty yuan to her son. They had a jar at home, which she bought when she married Lixia last time. It was used to store rice at home.
After An Liang got the money, he immediately came out of the house and happened to run into An Wen.
"Brother Anwen, how are you?" An Liang asked with a worried look on his face.
Anwen smiled and nodded.
An Liang could feel that Brother An Wen's aura was different.
The whole person looks much brighter.
"Let's go to Third Grandma's house."
When the two of them went to Mei Xue's house, Mei Xue was at Aunt Ting's house.
However, since she didn’t see her grandmother today, Mei Xue didn’t think too much about it.
"Aunt Ting, what do you say?" Mei Xue asked immediately after explaining the purpose of her visit.
Aunt Ting looked at Mei Xue and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll let Xiao Shan come to see you at noon. Thank you, Xiao Xue, for thinking about my home." After the last incident, Aunt Xu knew that her mother-in-law had offended her third aunt again.
When she saw the loaches and eels that An Liang and An Wen brought back, she felt very sad.
But it was her mother-in-law who was wrong, so she couldn't just blame her.
I just endured it myself, but I didn't expect that Xiaoxue would still think of me when she had good things.
