"Sister-in-law, she's really something. Not only is she resourceful, but she also knows how to pick her partners."
Xiao's mother readily accepted, "Sister, you've finally said something sensible. But my An'an is still more amazing. If she were my own daughter, I would never let her marry a soldier. Sigh! Our Xiao family owes her more."
Speaking of Xiao Yuheng's work, the Xiao family can all understand this feeling: soldiers seem to have a lot of honor, but only they themselves know how hard it is in reality.
"Sister-in-law, don't be too anxious. With Aheng's current military achievements, it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted. Then it won't be so dangerous."
Uncle Xiao held a high position and spoke the truth, which immediately eased Aunt Xiao's slightly downcast mood.
"Big brother is right, things will definitely get better and better in the future."
Uncle Xiao, being a politician, was genuinely interested in what Gu An'an was doing. He couldn't help but ask her more questions and finally came to the conclusion, "This child is indeed a good one; you must treat her well."
The principle of choosing a virtuous wife will never change. As long as the family gets along well, the future achievements of the third son's family will certainly be more than this.
If the world changes again, Uncle Xiao shook his head, banishing all sorts of thoughts from his mind. He decided not to think about so much now, but to focus on doing his job well. The future certainly wouldn't always be like this.
The Xiao family hadn't been able to gather like this in a long time, and they chatted until late into the night, so they simply booked two more rooms at the guesthouse.
The next morning, Gu An'an woke up nestled in Xiao Yuheng's arms.
"morning."
Xiao Yuheng's biological clock is very punctual, and he had woken up long ago. But holding the person in his arms, he had no desire to get up and exercise. He suddenly understood why ancient emperors would say, "The emperor will no longer hold court in the morning."
Gu An'an stretched and said, "Good morning."
Seeing her start rubbing her waist, Xiao Yuheng's hand unconsciously reached out to her slender waist, rubbing it again and again with just the right amount of force, making Gu An'an want to sigh out in comfort.
"I didn't know you had this skill. Did you practice before, or did you massage someone?"
Seeing his wife's increasingly dangerous gaze, Xiao Yuheng was both amused and exasperated. "Does this even need practice? Isn't it something anyone can do?"
Gu An'an raised an eyebrow, surprised that Xiao Yuheng had this side to him. However, she was just joking and wouldn't hold a grudge. "What time is it?"
Xiao Yuheng took out his watch and looked at it. "It's eleven o'clock."
Gu An'an: ......
She slept until 11 a.m. on her first day of marriage. If she had a troublesome mother-in-law, she would have been skinned alive. How could she have slept peacefully until now?
Hearing the slight noise outside the door, she stirred and was about to get up. "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
"You were so tired last night, why did I wake you up?"
That's what he said, but he didn't continue to hold Gu An'an and prevent her from getting up, mainly because it was time to get up and eat.
Speaking of last night, Gu An'an recalled the scene of herself being so tired that she begged for mercy. The usually strong woman felt a little guilty. "How dare you say that? Don't do that again."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was home, she started causing trouble. The amount of work she did in one night was equivalent to half a month's work for others. If this continued, Xiao Yuheng would be fine, but she wouldn't be able to handle it.
"What?"
Xiao Yuheng reached out and pulled the person back into his arms.
"You know the truth in your heart, don't pretend with me."
Xiao Yuheng shook his head and chuckled. This person really is... I wonder who was the one who had the most fun last night...
Reaching out, Xiao Yuheng gently pinched Gu An'an's nose, unable to bring himself to say a harsh word, "You little ungrateful rascal."
Those resentful eyes and words instantly transported Gu An'an back to a few hours earlier. Her face flushed red, and she pushed the other person away, grabbed her clothes from the bed, and started putting them on. "I'm not talking to you anymore."
The moment their eyes met, Gu An'an had no doubt that if she didn't leave this place of trouble immediately, the scenes from last night would repeat themselves.
Rushing out of the room at top speed, Gu An'an met the meaningful gazes of Xiao's mother and grandmother, and felt her face flush even more.
"Mom, Grandma, I overslept."
Xiao's mother and grandmother immediately shook their heads, "It's not late, it's not late, it's okay to sleep a little longer."
Everyone stay inside. Her grandson (great-grandson) will be arriving soon.
"Are you hungry? There's hot water in the kitchen. Wash your face and have breakfast. We didn't know what you liked, so we prepared a little bit of everything to see if you like it."
When Gu An'an came back after washing her face, she realized that preparing a little something for each item was not just a casual remark. Some items were obviously store-bought, while others were clearly homemade. No matter what your taste was, you could find something you liked among these breakfast options.
"I like them all."
Gu An'an wasn't a picky eater to begin with, so faced with such a carefully prepared breakfast, she had nothing to say and just ate it all.
When Xiao Yuheng came out of the house, he saw his wife being surrounded by people eating happily. The three of them seemed not to have noticed him at all, not even raising their heads. This was not their proper status.
However, he wasn't jealous; on the contrary, he was very happy, so he wouldn't worry even when he wasn't home.
Sensing the approaching footsteps, Xiao's mother snapped out of her conversation, looked up, and saw it was her own son. She immediately muttered, "You child, who are you trying to scare by walking so lightly?"
Xiao Yuheng: ...This can no longer be described as having a low status. Does he have no status at all in this family?
"I……"
"Hey, stop with the 'you,' come and eat."
Then Xiao Yuheng saw his mother push the leftovers from Gu An'an in front of him, and then push the other dishes towards Gu An'an, saying, "An'an, try these and see if they're good. If they are, Mom will prepare them for you every day."
Xiao Yuheng paused for a moment, but still decided to pick up his chopsticks and eat. Given his current status, there was no point in saying anything.
"An'an, wake up!"
Before they had finished eating, Xiao's father and grandfather returned with groceries. They smiled broadly at Gu An'an, while Xiao Yuheng, standing beside her, could only say that men don't need to be so sentimental.
"Dad, Grandpa, we already have so many vegetables at home, why did you go out to buy more?"
The two took off their clothes and felt a little more relaxed. "I took your uncle and aunt to catch the bus, and on the way back I saw someone selling fish."
"The river is frozen solid now, and many people go there to make it slippery. These fish are caught by them drilling holes in the river."
As soon as Grandpa Xiao mentioned it, Gu An'an recalled the grand opening of the river in later generations and couldn't help but suggest to Xiao Yuheng, "Why don't we go and have some fun too?"
