"Mom," An Yanhua listened attentively, "Do you think someone is coming outside?"
An Guorong listened carefully and immediately got up from the kang.
He also reminded his children and his wife, "Hurry up and get up, it should be Lao Wu's girlfriend who is here."
As he spoke, he opened the door and walked out. "Lao Wu's boyfriend will definitely bring a lot of goodies when he comes to visit for the first time. If there's anything delicious, ask for a few pieces in front of your grandma, and she won't say anything."
If you want to eat it again, it will definitely be locked in the cupboard and no one can touch it. It will not be until the New Year, and they will wait until it gets spoiled or damp before they take out some to share with everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures rushed over.
He laughed and scolded, "Those two brats run faster than me," while telling his wife to run faster, and shouted to the front, "Remember to divide it equally!"
Their family values fairness and justice. No matter who gets something good, the whole family will share it equally.
If you say they are bad, they still know how to share things as a family. If you say they are good, the two adults are not polite to the children at all.
The original owner was never slower than his sister in grabbing things, and the two of them often fought and quarreled, neither of them giving in.
When they turned the corner, they saw their fifth uncle coming with a young girl, and the two of them stopped.
Asking for food requires strategy. If you just rush up like a starving ghost, will they be willing to give it to you?
Even if he's willing this time, he probably won't like you next time he sees you. An Yanhua tidied her clothes and hair, and reminded An Jingzhi, "Be sweet when you go up there later, don't be like a starving ghost."
An Jingzhi rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Do I need you to teach me?"
After saying that, he smiled and quickly approached Uncle Wu's girlfriend. He saw that Uncle Wu's girlfriend had already started to search her pockets, probably to share candy or something.
The original owner was only nine years old this year. Logically, he should have been helping in the fields a long time ago, but he was used to being sneaky and his whole family loved to steal things everywhere. In the whole big family, they were the only ones who didn't raise themselves like rural people who would work in the fields.
"Uncle Wu, you're back." He smiled sweetly at the young girl shyly and said, "Hello, Aunt Wu."
Although they came today to confirm their relationship, they were not married yet. Chu Yongping felt a little embarrassed by what An Jingzhi said, and turned to ask An Guochang who was standing beside her.
"Is this also your child?" There was some surprise in his tone.
Before An Guochang could answer, An Yanhua beside him hurried over and greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Fifth Auntie, you are so beautiful, prettier than all the sisters in our village."
An Guochang had never expected that the people who could finally show off to his future wife were actually his fourth brother's children. He introduced them:
"This is my fourth brother's family. This is my elder sister Yanhua, and this is my younger brother Jingzhi."
After listening to An Guochang's introduction, Chu Yongping was really surprised to find out that this was indeed his child.
These two children look more generous than the children next to them.
Although the children next to her also greeted her, they always felt timid when they saw her, and even had to be reminded by adults to say hello.
Not only were the two children not embarrassed at all, they took the initiative to come forward and say hello.
What the child said must be true. Chu Yongping was happy after being praised. She reached into her pocket and took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and shared them with the children of her future husband's family.
To show her family's appreciation, her brother bought the White Rabbit milk candies for her early in the morning, and didn't leave any for her nephew.
After receiving the gifts, the children all said thank you after being told by the adults.
Grandma felt a little embarrassed when she saw Chu Yongping grab such a large handful of candy and gave it away, "You're here, why did you bring so many good things? It would be a waste to give them to the children."
Chu Yongping smiled and handed the other things in her hand to Grandma An.
People say this out of courtesy. If she really doesn't bring anything with her, even though her family is relatively well-connected, it's not certain whether the marriage will be successful in the end.
"It's better not to go empty-handed on your first visit. It's not worth much."
Grandma took it happily. It seemed that her future in-laws cared about her family quite a bit.
Grandpa An changed his usual serious demeanor and invited them into the house to talk.
Grandpa An and Aunt An were accompanying the guests in the front. Grandma An carried the things to the kitchen. When she opened the package, she found a bottle of sesame oil. She felt even more satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
The other package was pastries bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. When I opened it, I found it was a package of walnut cakes.
Grandma An was about to lock the sesame oil and walnut cakes in the cabinet when An Guorong came over and asked, "Mom, what delicious food did Lao Wu's girlfriend bring?"
Grandma An quickened her pace to lock her things. "Nothing, why are you running to the kitchen instead of chatting with me in the front? Go, go, go."
An Guorong wasn't someone you could easily get rid of. He stopped my mother from locking the cabinet and said, "Mom, I've seen it. Forget about the sesame oil." He couldn't eat that either. "Can you give me a few pieces of walnut cakes? I'll have to share them with everyone sooner or later anyway, so why not enjoy them while they're fresh?"
"Do I look like a walnut biscuit? Otherwise, just chew and eat me!" Grandma An's face fell.
Fan Chunmei, who followed by the side, chimed in, "Mom, Lao Wu's girlfriend is still in front."
Grandma An glared at her fiercely. This daughter-in-law was really outrageous. She even dared to threaten her as a mother-in-law!
She was quite satisfied with the fourth child's marriage at the beginning. Her daughter-in-law was an educated woman with a high school diploma. Although she did not graduate in the end, she was still better than most people in the village.
