Everyone was happy that An Guohua was returning home, except An Guorong.
When he was a child, the third brother basically grew up with him, and basically beat him up.
"Third brother, you're doing well in the army. Why would you come back just like that? Don't you want to give up your future?"
An Guorong paced back and forth in the room anxiously, muttering to himself.
"Dad, why are you so afraid of my third uncle?" An Yanhua asked.
After the Chinese New Year, considering her age, curtains were drawn on the kang at home, dividing it into three parts.
"Nonsense." An Guorong spoke excitedly. Was he afraid of his third brother? He respected him.
Fan Chunmei smiled and said, "Whenever he tells a lie, he likes to pick his pants with his fingers."
The three of them looked over and saw An Guorong picking at the seam of his trouser leg with his right hand.
An Guorong felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and emphasized again: "I'm really not afraid of my third brother. I'm just respecting him! My third brother deserves half the credit for our family's comfortable life!"
"And I buttoned my pants to see if there were any tears!"
The three of them smiled but said nothing.
An Guorong stopped explaining and cleared his throat before talking about doing business with that lady. Fan Chunmei's eyes lit up all day.
"His father, you are so amazing! Not only did you find out the truth, but you also made a living!"
It’s just a small business, what kind of livelihood is it?
An Jingzhi saw clearly that his father and mother were the kind of people who could say nice things, give each other face, and flatter each other.
They like to say nice things to deceive others, but they also feel that it is very helpful when it comes to themselves.
"Of course. I can't come back empty-handed after going there."
"For this business, I even spent all my private money. Yanhua, half of the candy you bought is for us to eat, and you don't touch the other half. You have to exchange it for fish. If you steal it, you have to catch some fish for me."
He was reluctant to give the candies even to his nephews; meat buns were enough for them.
An Yanhua froze, "How is it possible, Dad? Why would I steal our candy?"
She didn't want to go fishing in the water and get covered in stench. It seemed that she had to return the candy, or at least return half of it. After all, her father shouldn't be able to tell, right?
Forget it, I'll just keep two-thirds, half is too obvious.
An Guorong: "When I was looking for news today, I was wondering, they are engaged and living together, it's been two or three years, and they haven't gotten married yet. I think there must be a reason."
Fan Chunmei, holding a piece of candy in her mouth, said vaguely, "Could it be that my family doesn't agree?"
"If we don't agree, can we let them get engaged?" An Guorong said, "There must be something wrong. Let me find out more."
"Okay, his father, the honor of our Jingzhi is handed over to you."
An Jingzhi: “…”
Just being questioned twice is considered an honor?
But this feeling of being specially valued,
not bad.
He certainly knew why they were not getting married.
Hao Yujiao was infertile. When they were about to get married, they went to the hospital for a check-up. After learning that Hao Yujiao was infertile, the Yang family refused to agree to their marriage even though they wanted to get close to the Revolutionary Committee.
But he didn't dare to offend Hao Yujiao, so the matter has been delayed for so many years.
Later, An Yanhua, the unlucky one, bumped into it.
His father was able to find out so much information in just one or two hours. He would definitely be able to find out Hao Yujiao's situation sooner or later. It seemed that he didn't need to do anything about this matter.
Late at night, in the stillness of the world, cicadas chirp and frogs croak.
An Yanhua secretly opened her eyes, tiptoed out of bed, and softly called "Mom and Dad". Her snoring sounds could be heard evenly.
After making sure that all three were asleep, he secretly stuffed the bag of candy hidden at the bedside back into a box on the kang next to An Guorong.
An Jingzhi watched the whole process, but he didn't expose it.
The next day, everyone went to work or school. When An Yanhua arrived at the place, she threw the basket to Wang Tingge who had been waiting for a long time.
After she slept for a while, the other party brought a basket full of pig grass and placed it in front of her. This time, there was a rabbit next to the basket.
An Yanhua's eyes lit up, "There's a rabbit!"
Wang Tingge pursed his lips and said, "Take it back and eat it."
An Yanhua picked up the rabbit and found it weighed at least three pounds.
"Thank you." She generously took out five candies from her jacket pocket. When her hand was about to leave the pocket, she let out another candy. When she opened her hand and stretched it in front of Wang Tingge, there were only four candies left.
"This is for you."
Wang Tingge shook his head and refused. He picked pig grass for her out of gratitude.
"Just take it if I give it to you. Why are you so long-winded?" She will regret it soon.
He put the candy directly in the other person's hand, skillfully hid the rabbit under the pig grass, and walked away carrying the bamboo basket.
When Wang Tingge returned home, the father and son finished their lunch in silence, and he gave all the candy to his father.
"Where are you from?" asked Wang Tingge's father.
"Yan Hua gave it to me."
Wang Tingge's father frowned, looking unhappy.
"Why do you want her things? We owe her our lives."
"I didn't ask for it, but she gave it to me and ran away."
Looking at his stubborn son, Wang Tingge's father sighed, "It's all because of me that you've been dragged down."
He wasn't really a burden. Although he couldn't go hunting in the mountains, he could still do farm work. It was just that his legs were inconvenient, and it wasn't nice to have a reputation for being lame.
The conditions for settling down are among the best in the village.
"Let's work hard together and save some money. You're not young anymore, so I'll ask someone to find you a good wife."
Wang Tingge remained silent, the girl's back appearing in his mind. He especially liked watching her eat like a little hamster.
