When An Guorong heard that Fan Chunmei was going back to her parents' home, his eyes lit up.
Fan Chunmei pouted, "I will bring you something. Really, when can I rely on you to make me proud in my mother's family?"
An Guorong said with a playful smile, "There's a chance, there's a chance. You know me well, I'm really not good at farm work. Besides, no matter how hard I work, it's impossible for me to make you look good in front of your mother, right?"
Fan Chunmei nodded, thinking that what her husband said was right.
An Guorong struck while the iron was hot, "We have to count on Jingzhi in the future. This kid is like his father and I. He will definitely be able to bring honor to our family through studying."
"My son is so smart and has learned so much on his own. If he continues in the future, he will be a potential scholar."
Speaking of this, An Guorong thought that he had not had the chance to ask why his son suddenly became so powerful.
He asked Fan Chunmei a few questions, but Fan Chunmei was busy going back to her parents' home and had no time to explain to him.
"Ask Jingzhi later." He turned and left, his steps somewhat hurried.
Still busy going back to my parents' home.
She found Grandma An among a group of old ladies.
From a distance, Grandma An saw the lazy boy in her family. His face, which was originally chatting and laughing with his peers, suddenly fell.
"Congwen's grandma, your daughter-in-law is really unreasonable. Even you have to work here, but she still has time to wander around."
The old lady glared at Fan Chunmei from a distance, then turned around and said sarcastically, "Qian Erya, if you have time to criticize me here, you might as well take care of your third son. He goes to help the widow fetch water and chop firewood every day. She told him not to go, but he still goes every day. What's the point?"
Qian Erya was so angry that she fell backwards. "You! What nonsense are you talking about?! My son is clearly working in the fields!"
After breaking the man's defense, Grandma An slowly worked on her work. "Whether I was talking nonsense or not, you'll know when you ask later."
"You meddle in other people's family affairs every day, but you can't even manage your own." She glanced at Fan Chunmei, who hadn't even come to their place yet, so she probably couldn't hear what she said. "My daughter-in-law, I do whatever I want, but your third son, tsk tsk..."
This cannot be said in front of the fourth son's wife. If she hears it, won't she be even more arrogant?
When Fan Chunmei approached, she happened to see Aunt Qian, who was so angry that her hair stood on end, rushing towards her mother. She immediately stepped forward to stand in front of the old lady.
"Aunt Qian, what are you doing? Just work, why are you glaring at my mother like that?" Fan Chunmei said righteously.
She thought happily in her heart that since her mother saw how filial she was, when she asked for things back to her parents' home later, she would definitely give her a few more, right?
"you--"
"What are you doing over there? Don't you want your work points anymore?"
Old Mrs. Qian was very angry, but when she saw the captain walking towards them, she had to sit down again.
After hearing what Grandma An said, her mind was already wandering.
Old Mrs. Qian's family has always lived better than Grandma An's family.
The two have been competing with each other since they got married, and now that they have grandchildren, they still haven't forgotten to compete with each other.
At that time, An Guorong was so hungry that he had no food to eat, and he often went into her house through the dog hole to steal eggs and vegetables.
Later, the famine was over and the dog hole was sealed by Old Lady Qian. Whenever An Guorong wanted to steal, he was caught by Old Lady Qian.
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
Grandma An knew she had something bad to say when she saw her expression, but considering her filial piety, she still said unhappily:
"What's the matter?"
"I want to go back to my parents' home," she added, looking at Grandma An's expression. "Isn't our Jingzhi a promising and academic boy? I want my parents to see their grandson and make him happy."
"That's right, I don't have anything on hand, and it's not good to go back to my parents' home empty-handed." After saying that, Fan Chunmei looked at Grandma An with a smile.
Grandma An really had no way to deal with this shameless daughter-in-law.
"Come home with me." She stood up quickly.
After returning home, Fan Chunmei took the ten eggs from the old lady's hand and looked into the cabinet that was rarely opened.
Grandma An glared at her and locked the door quickly.
"Don't give me any ideas."
"Although the farm work is not busy right now, there are still a lot of things to do at home. Don't push everything onto your second sister-in-law."
Fan Chunmei disagreed, "Mom, didn't Lao Wu's girlfriend bring back a few pieces of peach cake last time? I see you haven't finished eating yet, why don't you give Jingzhi two pieces?"
"I heard that this walnut cake is made of walnuts. Jingzhi studies so hard, so this is a brain tonic for him."
"Bah." Grandma An cursed. "You're still giving it to him to nourish his brain. I wonder if it will end up in your family's stomachs? I've lived for most of my life and have never heard of such a thing. Go away, do you want the egg or not? If not, give it back to me."
Fan Chunmei dodged Grandma An's outstretched hand, ran to the door, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll go back to my parents' home first."
"Bah, I don't know how these two lazy guys gave birth to such a smart son."
"Jingzhi..." The old lady paused after muttering, and suddenly thought that her grandson was also a lazy guy. She could only say that they were worthy of being a family.
The old lady felt sorry for the child. If the child was born to the second child's family, they would definitely not be taught to be so lazy.
Fan Chunmei took the eggs and rushed to her mother's house with her son.
My parents' home is neither far nor near from my husband's home, and it takes about half an afternoon to go there and back.
"Your grandma is so stingy. She didn't give us the walnut cookies, and she didn't eat them herself. She just left them there to get moldy and eaten by insects."
Along the way, Fan Chunmei kept muttering to An Jingzhi.
