Winter came in the blink of an eye, and Uncle An took his two sons to sweep the snow on the roof.
An Xiaoqiu and An Xiaoxia held the wooden ladder.
"An Xiaoqiu."
A young voice suddenly sounded at the gate of Anjiayuan.
An Xiaoqiu looked at it and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Xiao Xia, you hold on first."
An Xiaoxia nodded and watched An Xiaoqiu walk away.
An Xiaoqiu walked to the gate of the courtyard and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The person who came was Zhao Chuanjun, An Xiaoqiu's previous marriage partner.
Zhao Chuanjun looked aggrieved and said, "I want to know why you are unwilling to accept my family's proposal." They had clearly discussed the questions together in school.
After deciding to send An Xiaoqiu to college, Old Lady An sent a message back, rejecting the marriage proposal. The Zhao family's parents were overjoyed and refused to persuade them to stay. After accepting the gifts they brought, they never contacted each other again.
She also kept persuading Zhao Chuanjun to marry the factory director's daughter and kept an eye on her son every day to prevent him from coming here.
Zhao Chuanjun was indeed a little resentful at first. He couldn't understand why An Xiaoqiu would refuse. Hadn't she said before that they were almost done? The matchmaker told him that Mrs. An was very satisfied with him.
He thought it was a sure thing and was looking forward to his married life.
After thinking it over, he still couldn't let it go, so he secretly ran to the village to find An Xiaoqiu to find out.
"Come in." If the gossips in the village saw this, I don't know how they would spread it.
After greeting Mrs. An who came out, An Xiaoqiu followed him to the corner of the yard and explained everything in front of everyone.
"You just asked me why I didn't accept your family's reminder. I want to ask you, why do you think I must accept it?" An Xiaoqiu said in a light tone.
Zhao Chuanjun was a little excited. "Didn't we get along pretty well in school? I thought you might have some feelings for me."
"We were just classmates in school, and now we're alumni. I just discussed a few questions with you back then, right? It's hard to say whether we're close or not."
Zhao Chuanjun looked hurt. "You, do you think you and I are just ordinary classmates?"
An Xiaoqiu said as if it was a matter of course, "What else is there?"
Zhao Chuanjun said anxiously, "Don't you have any feelings for me at all? I have a job in the county now. If you are willing to accept my proposal, I can also find a job for you. I will treat you well for the rest of my life!"
No matter what Zhao Chuanjun said, An Xiaoqiu remained indifferent. "No need. I plan to go to college and I can get a job on my own."
Zhao Chuanjun was indeed a good man, but what did he have to do with her? Even if his parents hadn't stopped her, An Xiaoqiu wouldn't have had anything to do with him.
The gift that Zhao Chuanjun brought was taken back by An Xiaoqiu and allowed to be taken away as it was.
"Sister Xiaoqiu, who is that person?"
Mrs. An patted her daughter's head. "What are you asking about, little girl? Your sister Xiaoqiu is going to college in the spring. What about you?"
An Xiaoxia covered her head and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Mrs. An pulled An Xiaoqiu into the room and asked, "That was that kid Zhao who came just now, right? Did he come to cause you trouble?"
An Xiaoqiu shook her head. "It's not milk. It's okay."
Seeing that her granddaughter didn't want to say more, Mrs. An didn't ask any more questions. Her granddaughter has always been very righteous.
Everyone was quiet while eating at the dinner table.
Suddenly, An Xiaoxia sighed, "I don't know when my uncle and the others will come back."
Old Mrs. An had no appetite and didn't know how her sons and grandsons were doing in the capital.
"An Xiaoqiu! An Xiaoqiu!"
Suddenly, a strange voice came from outside the door, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole family.
"Xiaoqiu, go and see what's going on. Forget it, I'll go with you." Mrs. An pulled An Xiaoqiu and walked out the door.
When they got to the door, they saw a postman riding a bicycle.
An Xiaoqiu's package, the mailing address on it is from the capital.
She and Mrs. An carried the package back into the room.
Mrs. An asked, "What is this?"
An Xiaoqiu shook her head slightly. "I don't know. Judging from the address, it was sent from the capital. Could it be Xiaojun and the others?"
Mrs. An was very excited when she heard this. "It should be. The last letter was from the capital. These two are so heartless. They only sent one letter after being gone for so long. Let's open it and see what's inside."
An Xiaoxia helped and opened the package in two or three seconds.
There were two boxes and a letter inside.
"Hurry up and see what's written on this letter." Old Mrs. An didn't even look at the two boxes, and urged An Xiaoqiu with the letter in her hand.
An Xiaoqiu opened the envelope and saw that it was indeed sent by her father.
"Mom, the New Year is almost here, and we'll be back soon. Don't worry, we have good food and accommodation here. I don't have to do anything every day, just watch Xiaojun train. It's the capital, but the chefs in the cafeteria here are from royal palaces, and their cooking skills are really good. My son has gained a lot of weight here."
"The cafeteria also has Capital Roast Duck. The chef slices it very thinly, better than the ones sold outside. This roast duck costs 5 yuan per piece if sold outside, so I eat a few more here and consider it saving money. It's a pity that Xiaojun can't eat anything he wants, so as his father, I helped him and ate his share as well."
"I don't know why people in this capital love drinking soy milk. I tried it, and the sour taste almost made me vomit the food I ate three days ago."
"Xiaojun has grown taller too. In just a few months, he's already as tall as my chin."
