Seeing his whole family feeling ashamed or guilty because of what he said, An Jingzhi felt relieved that his eloquence had not declined.
After clearing his throat and getting everyone's attention, he slowly spoke, "There's been a lot of work in the fields lately, and everyone's been working hard."
After a pause, he looked at the three children and said, "You three children are also in need of nutrition."
"I thought about it and decided to go to the county tomorrow to buy some food so that the whole family can have some nourishment."
The autumn harvest is coming to an end, most of the work has been done, and the whole family is tanned.
In other words, when An Jingzhi's luck came, there was no one left to work for, and an old man like him was no longer needed. Otherwise, he would have to go to the fields and work himself in his old body.
"Didn't we just eat meat?" Li Xinfeng answered subconsciously without thinking.
Although Li Xinfeng is also greedy, who isn’t greedy in this era?
But in the end, I still have to take care of the situation at home.
The original owner had always been so frugal that everyone thought the thousand dollars had been almost spent.
In addition, the two boys in the family are almost grown up and will be getting married in a few years. Money is needed everywhere, so Li Xinfeng will subconsciously think about saving more.
Zhao Yuxiu also felt something was wrong. "Dad, I'm not being disrespectful, but you've seen what our family's conditions are like. Caiyun is getting married soon, and we're not the kind of people who treat girls harshly. The betrothal gifts will definitely go with Caiyun. We might even have to give some money to the child."
She said with a slight euphemism: "It's really not suitable for extravagance."
Even his two sons disagreed with An Jingzhi's arrangement.
The only ones who support him are probably his children.
An Jingzhi, who had been confident of victory, suddenly lost his face.
"I'm an old man, busy as both a father and a mother. I've worked hard all my life. Now that I'm old, can't I just want to eat something good?"
"What's wrong? I'm only asking you to supplement your nutrition. I'm an old man who's about to be buried. I don't need any nutrition, right?"
When these words were spoken, both the son and his wife blushed, ashamed.
An Xianghong grunted, "Dad, why do you say that? I would never dare to think that."
"It wasn't easy for you to raise me and my younger brother. What do you want to eat? Go buy it if you want. Don't worry about us."
The second son, An Xiangjun, was also worried that his father might have a problem with him, so he quickly said, "Yes, Dad, how dare I have such thoughts?"
An Jingzhi's two adopted sons were so frightened, not to mention his two daughters-in-law, that they quickly agreed and told him to buy whatever he wanted without asking his family.
An Shizheng glanced at his grandfather's face and always felt that his grandfather seemed to be deliberately frowning to scare people.
An Jingzhi looked at their terrified expressions, then relaxed his expression and said, "Look at the way you all look. Am I a man-eating tiger?"
"The future is the future. If you can't live well now, what's the point of talking about the future?"
He pointed at his two sons and said, "Go look in the mirror and see how you look. You're not even as old as me, but you look almost as energetic as your father. If you don't take good care of your health now, you won't be able to use all the money you save in the future."
Their father was already in his sixties or seventies. They both thought at the same time that although one was in his forties and the other in his thirties, they were still relatively young. How could they be as old as their father?!
He was busy with the harvest and hadn't eaten anything nutritious except for that meal of meat. He was also tanned by the sun. How could his complexion look good?
An Jingzhi continued to deceive, "You two too," he looked at his two daughters-in-law and said, "On the surface you look healthy, but that's because you're young and it's not obvious yet. In a few years, won't you all get sick from working so hard?"
"Working in the fields is necessary, but you also need to replenish your nutrition properly to give your body some time to rest."
He sighed and said, "When your father was young, he worked very hard to find wives for his two sons. Now that he's old, he's sick all over."
"Dad, I don't want you to suffer like me in the future."
"Do you think Dad wants to go to the county to buy things just for his own enjoyment? Dad is thinking about you!"
An Jingzhi's words moved the whole family deeply.
An Xianghong's eyes were hot, "I'm sorry, Dad."
An Xiangjun's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at An Jingzhi dimly: "Dad, you have worked hard. For our family, Dad, you have suffered."
An Xiangjun has always been better at talking than An Xianghong. Although he is a little stupid and not stable enough, to the original owner, he is his caring son, so he has been partial to him many times.
An Xianghong is not an unfilial person, but he keeps his thoughts to himself and never speaks out loud.
The two daughters-in-law also looked ashamed and felt sad.
Dad has sacrificed too much for this family. In the past, in order to balance the relationship between the two boys and to help Shizheng integrate into the family as quickly as possible, he was privately complained by them.
When Dad goes to the county to buy things, it’s not to buy food or drinks for himself, but for the health of the whole family.
Li Xinfeng immediately said, "Buy it, Dad, go buy it tomorrow!"
Zhao Yuxiu also quickly said, "Yes, Dad, if you can't carry the things, let Shizheng and Zhigang go with you. Anyway, the work in the fields is finished. It doesn't matter whether the two boys go or not."
After hearing this, An Shizheng and An Zhigang's eyes lit up and they looked at An Jingzhi eagerly.
