Gu An'an turned her head and saw Liang Qiu looking at her with an embarrassed expression.
"What I did back then was wrong."
Since letting go, Liang Qiu has rarely said these words, but unfortunately, she has never found the opportunity.
Gu An'an could tell at a glance whether someone was sincerely apologizing or lying. "It happened so many years ago, don't take it to heart."
As soon as she finished speaking, a male voice came from the courtyard, growing louder as it approached, "Xiao Qiu, you forgot your bag."
A handsome man came out carrying a woman's handbag and a bag of food in his other hand.
“Mom made me take so many things back again. I didn’t want to take them, but I didn’t push them back.”
After he finished speaking, he noticed a very beautiful girl standing next to his wife. He greeted her warmly, "Hello, I am Liang Qiu's husband, Chu He. You must be the top scholar's wife from the Xiao family next door?"
Gu An'an: "...Hello, Gu An'an."
It seems that Egg and Uncle are both suited to be salesmen; now she's even considering changing her name.
Upon hearing her name, Chu He's expression became even more excited. "Hello, I'm a teacher from the Red Flag Commune. Could you please tell me some study tips? I'll share them with my students when I get back."
His eyes were sincere, and he wasn't deliberately trying to start a conversation. Looking at Liang Qiu beside him, there was no displeasure on his face, so Gu An'an said a few more words before going home.
"Did Xiao Qiu talk to you?"
"Um."
After all, she had watched her grow up since she was a child. Xiao's mother nodded with satisfaction, "That child is not a bad person, she just likes to get stuck on things, but she seems to be doing quite well now."
"Hmm, you've found a good partner."
Since she transmigrated into this body, she had seen too many men's eyes, but Chu He's eyes were filled with pure admiration.
"Is the pheasant ready?"
"Have the pork ribs thawed yet?"
“An’an likes to eat beef, so I need to hurry up and stew the beef.”
Early in the morning, Zhou Yue was busy and bustling around, even more so than on their wedding day. If it were anyone else, Zhao Hu would have been jealous long ago, but that person was Gu An'an. He could only bury his jealousy in his heart because he knew that he might not be as good as Gu An'an in his wife's heart.
"Slow down, slow down. Don't you know your own body? I'll take care of these things. You can just sit here."
After being reminded by Zhao Hu, Zhou Yue immediately slowed down and unconsciously put her hand on her belly. "I know, I know. I was thinking of having a child a few years later, but I didn't expect him to come so suddenly."
“The child is sensible; he only came when he knew we were going home. Don’t forget that you are now pregnant with both children; you must be careful in everything you do.”
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and get busy, An'an will be here soon."
His words were laced with impatience, but the smile on his lips was impossible to hide.
Gu An'an did the same on the commune side. She dressed the two little ones early in the morning, and after breakfast, they headed to the village. The road was covered in snow, so they didn't drive fast. By the time they arrived in the village, it was already past ten o'clock.
"The top scorer is back!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and the whole family was surrounded.
"Aunt Guihua, Aunt Qiao, Grandma Wang, Uncle Erzhu, Uncle Lao Nian..."
Gu An'an called out their names one by one, and everyone she called looked delighted.
"The top scorer hasn't forgotten us!"
"Oh my! A top scholar is a top scholar. Even after becoming a college student, he is still so down-to-earth, unlike those educated youth from other villages who sneak away after getting into college, as if the village would do something to them."
"Oh my, is this Da Bao and Er Bao? They're so good-looking! Here, this is candy from Grandma."
The elderly woman, who was clearly reluctant to part with even herself, pulled out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and handed them over. It's unclear how long she had kept those candies.
Once one starts, there's a second and a third. Da Bao and Er Bao were so happy that Gu An An couldn't stop them even if she wanted to. Before long, their hands were full of food.
"Alright, alright, we can't give them any, or their mouths will be rotten."
What do Da Bao and Er Bao want to say?
The two little ones immediately said in unison, "These are grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters."
"Oh my, what polite kids they are."
"Alright, alright, let An'an and the others go home and have some hot water. Everyone, please disperse."
Only after the village chief intervened did everyone finally disperse.
As soon as the family entered the house, Xiao Erbao asked the probing question, "Dad, isn't this your hometown?"
Xiao Yuheng didn't understand what his son was trying to say, but his intuition told him it wasn't anything good. "It's Dad's hometown, but what are you trying to say?"
"Since this is Dad's hometown, why did everyone only greet Mom but not you? Is it because you're a bad person?"
Xiao Yuheng's hand, which was at his side, twitched. What should he do? His hand was itching, and he really wanted to punch someone.
"Come out here, I want to discuss with you whether Dad is a decent person or not."
Xiao Erbao sensed danger. "No, no, I need to stay with Mom."
After saying that, she hugged Gu An'an's leg, blinked at Gu An'an, and looked at her with pleading eyes, seeking her mother's protection. Gu An'an found it amusing, "You really are both a provocateur and a coward."
Xiao Erbao just smiled. As long as his mother was around, he dared to provoke his father because his father didn't dare to discipline him in front of his mother.
"As long as Mom is good, that's enough."
After talking with their family for a while, the family carried their things and headed towards the educated youth compound. Just as they reached the entrance, Zhou Yue, who kept glancing in their direction, spotted them.
"An'an! Da Bao and Er Bao!"
Zhou Yue excitedly turned to run, but Zhao Hu, who had been watching them, stopped her. "The yard is full of snow, slow down and don't run!"
Zhou Yue pouted, "I think you're just worried about the little one in your belly."
That's what she said, but her steps slowed down considerably.
In just a short while, Gu An'an had already entered the room. Besides the two of them, Chen Jianguo and Li Yumei were also inside. The group was busy and the house was filled with delicious aromas.
When you meet the family of three, you can talk endlessly.
"Got it?"
Zhou Yue's face was flushed. "Yeah, I just found out. I didn't expect him to come now. It's a bit worrying."
“What’s there to worry about? Once we’re here, we’ll definitely give birth to him. We’ll contact the school later and see if he can handle it. If he can’t, we can take a year off. It won’t take much time.”
"Yes, that's what we think too."
Then she reached out and hugged her two babies, saying, "I hope the one in my belly will be as healthy and adorable as my two babies."
"Godmother! That's for sure, the little brother will definitely be very healthy."
"Little brother? Why did Da Bao say that?"
Zhou Yue doesn't discriminate against girls; she loves all her children. However, she was still somewhat curious about Xiao Dabao's direct statement that the child was a younger brother.
"He's the younger brother, isn't he, Erbao?"
Xiao Erbao nodded decisively, "Godmother, my sister is right, it is my brother."
Seeing how certain the two were, the adults found it quite intriguing.
"People from my hometown say that children have pure eyes and are the most accurate at seeing things like this. It seems that Xiaoyue is really carrying a boy."
