When the two women came out after changing their clothes, they both had happy expressions on their faces, especially Aunt Li. Although her previous clothes were not bad, she felt that these new outfits were better than the ones she had bought before.
"Oh my, An'an, what's wrong with your head? There aren't any clothes this nice in Shanghai."
"As long as Auntie is happy."
Although Gu An'an appeared calm, the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but curve upwards still revealed her inner joy.
"When we get back, I'll promote it for you and get all the supply and marketing cooperatives in Haishi to place orders."
She was telling the truth. She felt that if Haishi didn't even sell such good products, they were just blind!
"Then I must thank you on behalf of the garment factory, Auntie."
Aunt Li smiled. With this style from Hongxing Garment Factory, there was no need for her to help get orders, but she was still determined to get these orders.
The group sat down and chatted for a long time, since they didn't know when they would meet again.
Although the Xiao family members were all nice, the couple still couldn't help but nag a bit more.
“Your parents-in-law are good people. Please take good care of them. They are all kind-hearted. Your aunt hopes that your life will be better after all the hardships.”
"Definitely!"
Uncle Li couldn't help but add a sentence.
Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh. "I understand."
"Uncle Li, please take better care of your health. Don't forget everything when you're working."
"Yes! You have to listen to what An'an says."
Factory Director Li never expected that just one sentence would attract so much nagging, but he felt very warm inside.
"Okay, okay, I'm listening."
They chatted for a long, long time before finally going back to sleep.
The next morning, a car stopped at the entrance of Xiaowang Village, and Gu An'an and her three companions prepared to leave, much to the villagers' reluctance.
"Sister An'an, are you coming back?"
Tiger asked with a reluctant look, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Xiao Yuheng, the "culprit".
If Sister An An hadn't married Uncle Xiao, would she still have left them?
"Sister An'an, you must come back! We're waiting for you in the village."
"Sister An'an, is the army really that good? Why don't you take it with you? I can work and I won't just freeload."
“I can also do chores. I can cook, wash clothes, and gather firewood. Sister An’an will take care of me.”
Looking at these little rascals in front of her, Gu An'an was both amused and exasperated.
"Stay home and I'll be back in a while."
The children were a little discouraged when their suggestion was rejected. "When will Sister An'an come back?"
Gu An'an thought for a moment and said, "When the snow melts."
The snow was still two months away from melting, and even though the children thought it was too long, they stopped pestering them to leave. It wasn't that they didn't want to pester them, but rather that their parents were already "itching to leave."
After everyone got into the car, Xiao Yuheng suddenly remarked casually, "You're really popular."
Gu An'an turned her head and saw that the man, who had been calm, now looked a little aggrieved.
Are you jealous?
She asked jokingly, since there were so many elders in front of them, and the young couple's affairs could wait until no one was around to talk about them. As a result, Xiao Yuheng honestly replied, "Yes, I'm jealous."
Jealous of a bunch of little brats.
This was something he hadn't expected. He had thought he might be jealous of men, since his wife was so wonderful, but he never imagined he'd be jealous of his child first.
The others in the car couldn't help but laugh out loud, especially Xiao's mother, who laughed the most exaggeratedly.
"Is this still my Aheng?"
Everyone says her son is outstanding, and while she feels relieved, she is also anxious. It's because Xiao Yuheng has never had the childlike nature to grow up; he's reliable but rather aloof.
I never imagined that getting married would bring about such a big change.
Xiao Yuheng: ...If you laugh any louder, I might not be your son.
Factory Director Li and his wife were more restrained and didn't laugh out loud in front of Xiao Yuheng, but you could tell from their suppressed laughter that they were quite satisfied with Xiao Yuheng.
They arrived at Shuangshan City Railway Station and got off the train carrying their belongings. The Li couple's train had arrived earlier, and Gu An'an felt a little reluctant to see them off.
"Aunt and Uncle, please be careful on the road. Call me when you get home."
Then she remembered that she was about to go to the military base and was about to ask Xiao Yuheng for the base's phone number when she saw Xiao Yuheng take out a pen and paper from his bag and write down a string of numbers. "This is the military base's phone number. It's not installed at home yet, but you can call this number to find An'an."
Factory Director Li took the note and put it in his pocket. "Okay, I'll call you when I get home."
Then, after thinking for a moment, he added, "Although An'an is quite capable, she is still a young girl after all. You should treat her well in the future. If she does anything wrong, you can call us and we will help you teach her a lesson."
These words sounded exactly like something Gu An'an had heard in a TV series, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuheng felt even more respect for the couple in front of him. "I will treat her well."
Once on the train, Aunt Li wiped her eyes and sighed, "I never had a daughter, yet I'm suffering the pain of marrying off my daughter."
After putting his things away, Factory Manager Li replied, "Isn't this great? You've always wanted a daughter, and now you have one without any pain."
Aunt Li glared at the man with annoyance. Speaking of this, she thought of her two brats at home. An'an was already married, but the two of them hadn't made a move at all. It seemed that the children couldn't be left too far away.
The Li brothers, thousands of miles away: ...This winter wind is really strange! It's making my back feel cold!
