An's mother felt a little sorry for giving away the candies, as they still had wrappers! It would be so prestigious to serve them on a platter during the Chinese New Year.
He quickly took the package from An Jingzhi's hand, hurried back to the room to see if there was anything else, and then locked it in the cabinet.
I was afraid that my son, who had a wide gap between his fingers, would be divided up.
"Second brother is back."
"Little brother, I've been working so hard for you and big brother to take care of our parents while I'm away."
An Congrun is the youngest child. He is usually cunning and not good at studying. He wants his second brother An Jingzhi to find him a job in the city. "These are our parents. No matter how hard it is, you can rest assured to work outside. We are taking good care of our parents."
Boss An felt helpless. His younger brother could actually say such things. He was the one who was most lazy. If his parents relied on him to take care of them, they would be doomed.
The An family walked into the house while chatting, and suddenly they heard An's mother's voice calling: "Jingzhi! Jingzhi! Come here quickly!"
An Jingzhi's mother saw the marriage proposal gift he prepared for the Zhong family.
"Come here quickly. What's going on? Why are you bringing so many things home this time? Aren't you staying in the city?"
Mother An pointed at four canned fruits, a bottle of malted milk, two bottles of sesame oil, two packets of milk candy, two packets of brown sugar, two kilograms of pastries and ten juicy apples and felt heartbroken.
They are all good things, but buying them during a non-holiday season is a waste! Except for the cakes and apples, luckily they can all be kept.
"This is for the marriage proposal. Leave half at home, and take the other half to help me propose marriage."
After hearing this, An's mother no longer felt bad about An Jingzhi's money being spent. Her youngest son had already given birth to a child, and her second son had not yet gotten married, which had always worried her. Fortunately, she knew that her son had a partner, otherwise she would have been anxious to arrange a blind date for him.
An Jingzhi explained that he had already discussed this with the Zhong family and that he was just going through the motions to show his respect for the Zhong family. An's mother and father agreed immediately.
They didn't even have the mood to prepare dinner. The two elders were busy finding clothes from the bottom of the box. Their future in-laws were teachers, and they were intellectuals!
No matter what the outside atmosphere is like, as long as you, An Jingzhi, are an example of how knowledge can change one's destiny, the Red Star Brigade still has awe for knowledge.
After having a tasteless dinner, An's father and mother tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
The Zhong family on the other side also hadn't rested well. Before An Jingzhi left, he told the Zhong family the day for his parents to come and propose marriage. The Zhong family then started looking for someone to exchange the bills, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to get enough food to entertain the guests.
The next day, An Jingzhi and his parents set out before dawn. It would take the whole morning to walk, but An Jingzhi certainly wouldn't let the two old people walk. He rode a bicycle with the luggage, and the two old people sat on a ox cart on the road.
After finally arriving in the city, An Jingzhi took his parents to his own residence to rest and recuperate before heading to the Zhong family.
An's father and mother looked at the Zhong family's small building and felt uneasy. Although they wore their most decent clothes, they were still far behind others.
Mother Zhong and Father Zhong noticed that their in-laws were uncomfortable, so Mother Zhong enthusiastically took Mother An aside to talk to her. After a while, the two became familiar with each other and started calling each other sister.
