Chapter 61: Becoming the commander’s daughter-in-law?
Qi Changan was completely confused by his wife's nonsensical words.
"What do you mean? You don't want me to adopt Zhu Wei's son as my godson, do you?"
"That kid... is quite honest, but his mother..."
He waved his hands in disgust, "No, absolutely not!"
Zhu Lijuan angrily said, "What are you thinking! Who told you to recognize her son?"
She turned her gaze, with a mischievous smile, and fell on Xu Yancheng: "Old Qi, take a good look at the person in front of you!"
Ruan Anan held her chin and watched the show with great interest.
Does Principal Zhu mean to let Xu Yancheng be their son?
Xu Yancheng didn't realize he was being targeted, and he said righteously, "Raising a son to provide for one's old age is an old feudal idea! Times have changed. It doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl. Women hold up half the sky..."
Ruan Anan almost choked on his meat. Wow! This level of ideological awareness is simply a model of morality in the 1970s!
"Alright, alright!" Zhu Lijuan interrupted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, pointing at the stool. "Sit down! Am I such an old stubborn person? If I really cared about my son, why didn't I have more children?"
"Teacher Zhu, what exactly are you up to?" Qi Changan was still confused.
Ruan Anan finally put down her chopsticks and cleared her throat. "Principal Zhu is saying that we should become godparents?"
"As long as you two elders accept Yan Cheng as your godson, I will be your godson. That way, we'll be a real family! Cousin Zhu Wei is looking for trouble? Isn't that our Qi family's family affair? As a 'family member', it would be perfectly legitimate and logical for me to come forward and 'argue' with her?"
"Right, right, right! That's exactly what I mean!"
Zhu Lijuan excitedly grabbed Ruan Anan's hand, tears glistening in her eyes, "Good kid! You understood it so quickly! You're so smart!"
"What a pity, you're a girl. If you were a boy, your achievements would be no less than Yan Cheng's!"
When Ruan Anan heard this, she couldn't help but speak.
"Principal Zhu, women are not necessarily inferior to men in their achievements."
"In a few years, the college entrance examination will be reinstated! By then, talented women will stand out, shine in all walks of life, and truly hold up half the sky of our new China!"
"It's just..." Ruan Anan changed the subject, returning to reality and looking at Zhu Lijuan, "The dispute between you and your cousin is, after all, a family matter. As outsiders, it's really not appropriate for Yan Cheng and I to intervene rashly..."
It’s okay to eat melons, but it’s not okay to be a badger in the melon field!
If you get involved in other people’s family affairs, you will get yourself into trouble!
"No! Comrade Ruan! This matter depends on you! I, Zhu Lijuan, beg you!"
Zhu Lijuan stood up suddenly, with an extremely serious expression, and bowed deeply to Ruan Anan!
"Ouch! No way! Principal Zhu, you're shortening my life!"
Ruan Anan was so frightened that she was in a panic. She wanted to help but felt it was inappropriate. In desperation, she could only bow deeper to Zhu Lijuan.
"An An, I'm not trying to rob you, just listen to me..."
Zhu Lijuan has been with Ruan Anan for so long that she already knows her personality.
He immediately dragged her to the corner of the kitchen and whispered a few words quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Ruan Anan's expression changed instantly!
All the hesitation and evasion just now disappeared, and he nodded heavily: "I, Ruan Anan, will take care of this trivial matter!"
Xu Yancheng: “????”
Gao Ruoyun: "???"
Qi Changan also looked bewildered: "What's the matter? And you have to tell us behind our backs?"
Zhu Lijuan pulled Ruan Anan back to the dining table and decisively changed the subject: "Come on, come on, eat more! You newly married couple should eat well and replenish your body!"
Ruan Anan blushed at the straightforward "tonifying the body" comment.
In this day and age, the words spoken by elders really need to be blurred!
She smiled awkwardly, then looked at Xu Yancheng who was still in a daze across from her.
"Comrade Xu Yancheng! Congratulations! From now on, you also have a godfather and godmother!"
"Ah?" Xu Yancheng's wine glass froze in mid-air, neither raising it nor putting it down.
Recognize the army commander as godfather?
If this gets out, won't people criticize him and accuse him of trying to curry favor with the powerful?
Just as he was about to ask for details, he saw Ruan Anan with a stern face, bumping his cup without saying a word.
"This isn't a discussion, it's a notification!"
After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank the sweet and sour plum wine in the cup.
Xu Yancheng: "..."
Just because he was so good at kung fu, his wife sold him out?
Xu Yancheng couldn't refuse his wife, so he could only drink in silence.
Qi Changan quickly grasped his arm and said with a hint of sarcasm from an experienced person, "This wine is just a token of appreciation! Men drink too much..."
He winked at Ruan Anan and said in a lower voice, "You won't be able to do anything tonight!"
Xu Yancheng: “……???”
What's going on? Where's my serious and majestic leader?
Who kidnapped him?
Zhu Lijuan looked at Ruan Anan and liked her more and more, and kept picking food for her.
"An An, you will be my daughter-in-law from now on, so don't be polite!"
The happiest person was Gao Ruoyun, "That's great! An An will be my cousin's wife from now on! Can I visit her often?"
Ruan Anan smiled and touched her head: "Of course! If it's inconvenient for your uncle's house, you can come to my house anytime. Review your lessons well, and trust my cousin, the day when exams resume won't be too far away!"
"Thank you, cousin!" Gao Ruoyun replied sweetly.
At the dinner table, Zhu Lijuan's eyes were full of love, Qi Changan was amiable, and Gao Ruoyun was filled with pure joy.
And Xu Yancheng, who was confused but supported her unconditionally...
A corner of my heart was gently touched.
Is this... the feeling of home?
She lived two lives without a father or a mother.
The Zhou brothers treated her well, but because of the difference in their status, their care was always distant.
The hustle and bustle in front of her made her truly taste the feeling of "home" for the first time.
If only all this could always be true...
Everyone was having a great time downstairs, but upstairs, behind the half-open door, a pair of eyes were filled with resentment.
Want to take my parents away and drive my cousin away? No way!
Ruan Anan...just wait and see!
The meal lasted until around eight o'clock in the evening.
Ruan Anan was drinking plum wine brewed from the spiritual spring in the space, and she drank a glass without realizing it.
As I walked out of the Qi family courtyard, the cool sea breeze blew in my face, and the alcohol started to take effect!
The number of men in front of her instantly changed from one to three. She stopped staggeringly and stretched out three fingers.
Facing Xu Yancheng's direction, he "reported" seriously:
"Comrade Xu Yancheng! I, Ruan Anan, am officially informing you: First, I'm starting to feel unsteady when I walk, like I'm walking on cotton! Second, my eyelids... they're not listening, they keep sticking together! So..."
Before she could finish her words, her body suddenly felt lighter!
The whole person was steadily lifted up horizontally by a pair of strong and powerful arms.
Xu Yancheng lowered his head, his deep eyes reflecting the moonlight and her rosy little face, his voice low and reliable.
"I know. I'm here so you won't fall!"
Under the moonlight, he held his drunken little cat and walked steadily towards their home.
However, they didn't notice that the resentful gaze in the shadows upstairs followed them until they disappeared into the night.
