An Jingzhi was speechless listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter.
The mother not only advised her daughter not to be too ambitious, but also told her not to learn a skill or study.
Instead, I started to think about what good food I could bring back for my daughter after she went to her husband's house.
In her mother's own words, she worked so hard to raise her daughter to such a big and beautiful girl, was it for her to work like a slave for other families?
She must have a purpose! Isn't she also attracted by her daughter's beauty?
Although it sounds fine, I still feel something is wrong.
No wonder his sister An Yanhua ended up in such a miserable state. It was all because her family didn't teach her well. Of course, the original owner also contributed.
The original owner was a rural child in the 1970s, with several uncles and aunts.
An Guorong is the fourth child in the family, with a younger brother and an older sister and brother.
The An family's reputation was basically ruined by An Guorong's family.
That’s right, this so-called family also includes the original owner himself, his sister and mother.
His father may have developed this habit during the year of famine. He always likes to steal chickens and dogs. He would grab a few vegetables from someone's house and steal a few eggs from someone's chicken coop.
If he gets caught, he will return it; if he doesn't get caught, he will deny it.
As he was recalling, he saw An Guorong's sneaky figure.
"His father." Fan Chunmei, who was still telling her daughter what to bring him after she got married, noticed the man outside the courtyard gate with her sharp eyes.
An Guorong was holding two baskets of eggs, which he had collected from the village. As for the money, it was of course given by his mother.
There are many people in the An family, and they consume a lot of eggs every day. These eggs are used as gifts when the guests arrive.
An Guorong glanced at the kitchen and made a hushing gesture to Liu Chunmei. The couple had a very good understanding, one reaching out while the other took over.
An Jingzhi looked closely and found that there were four eggs in An Guorong's pocket. He put them all into Liu Chunmei's pocket.
When the eldest daughter An Yanhua saw this scene, she sensibly helped her parents cover up and swept the floor in front of them.
There were four eggs, and each person could have one. Thinking of the greasy dishes for lunch, she drooled with greed.
An Jingzhi also followed the original owner's character and helped keep watch, keeping an eye on the movements in the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of movement in the kitchen, An Jingzhi immediately shouted, "Dad, you're back!"
Grandma was wearing an apron and wiping the water droplets off her hands as she walked out. "What are you yelling about?"
Seeing the fourth child, he said angrily, "I asked you to change an egg, why did it take you so long?"
An Guorong, who had already completed the handover, said calmly, "Mom, you talk as if this walk takes no time."
"We don't have eggs at home, but do other people have them? Should I go to more places?"
Grandma looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't hide it from me, did you?"
An Guorong was furious. "Mom, what you said is so hurtful. If you don't want to believe me, don't let me do it! Isn't the price of these eggs open to the public? How else can I hide it? Just count them and you'll know if the quantity is correct!"
He directly handed the two baskets of eggs in his hand to the old lady and returned to his room angrily, fearing that if he walked slower, the old lady would keep him to work.
After he left, the old lady muttered, "It seems there's no mistake in the number. If they couldn't find anyone, who would look for you, a lazy guy?"
After glancing to the side, and seeing the old lady looking at him, An Jingzhi gave a harmless smile.
The old lady pursed her lips, a trace of despair flashing through her heart.
The big one is like that, and the small one is not a good thing either.
She was looking at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, sneaking along the wall and trying to get back to their room.
It's really over. How will this family support themselves after they split up?
The old lady really couldn't understand why each of her sons was an upright person. Even the daughters they raised were respected by their in-laws in the commune. Why was the fourth son completely different?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes when her son crawled out of her belly, she would have suspected that her son had been switched.
"Day by day, I really owe this family so much. What a sin!"
After the old lady returned to the kitchen, An Jingzhi also followed her back to their room.
An Guorong had skillfully placed the eggs in a small earthen stove in the room and was cooking them.
This small earthen stove was built by An Guorong himself using stones and yellow mud. It is convenient for boiling water in winter and for secretly eating at other times.
When An Jingzhi came in, his parents and sister were already squatting beside the small earthen stove eagerly.
"How is it? Did your grandma notice anything wrong?" An Guorong asked.
An Jingzhi shook his head. "She probably didn't notice. My grandma didn't say anything. She just scolded you a few more times."
An Guorong didn't feel any pain. After all, he had been scolded a lot since he was a child. It was just a few scoldings, but the benefits he got were real.
"His father," Fan Chunmei asked, "did you steal these eggs from the old lady? Aren't you going to give them to Uncle Wu as a return gift?"
An Guorong looked smug, "Do you think I'm stupid? Stealing is fine on normal days, but if I dare to steal today, my father won't forgive me."
"Don't worry about eating it, I earned this egg with my own skills."
"The village doesn't have much income to begin with. We should lower the price when we collect eggs. They're all neighbors, so how could they not be willing?"
He didn't mention that there were a few families who were unwilling. He just took the eggs, left the money and ran away.
The advantage they took was not that much, and knowing that there was a happy event in his family today, no one chased him home to bring bad luck.
Fan Chunmei looked at him with admiration, "Dad, you are really capable."
