It was just getting dark.
Mai Hangyu drove Wu An home on his motorcycle. He saw his father and Lao Meng sitting at the door smoking and greeted them with a smile.
Old Meng said, "You two seem to be in a good mood today."
Wu An glanced at it.
That's right.
Although Dad had a stern face, the upturned corners of his mouth and his squinted eyes showed that he was suppressing a laugh.
Wu An asked, "Dad, what's making you happy? Tell me so I can be happy too."
Wu Yingwei was taken aback: "You don't know?"
Wu An: "Should I know?"
Wu Yingwei nodded: "Nonsense, why are you pretending with me? I know everything."
Wu An scratched his head.
He carefully considered what he had been doing recently; there were just too many things to do, and he didn't know what his father was happy about.
This person is just too outstanding, that's all.
Whatever you do casually can become something your parents are proud of and something they can brag about to others.
I can't let my father be so overjoyed; it's not common for me to keep things a secret from my old friend.
He tentatively asked, "Dad, have you heard some rumors that you're about to become a grandfather?"
Now that my dad has taken the position of village chief, he has basically reached the pinnacle of his life.
But it can't be said that he has no desires or ambitions; after becoming the village head, he has even more motivation for his work.
If I had to say what my dad's biggest hope is right now, it would probably be to become a grandfather.
Unfortunately, Gu Anran had just started her period.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone home so early.
Wu Yingwei said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you won't tell me, I will."
Old Meng couldn't take it anymore: "You two have gone too far, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Hurry up and tell me, stop beating around the bush."
Wu An said, "Dad, just tell me already, I'm even more curious than Lao Meng."
Wu Yingwei said, "Just now, the leader called me and said that I will be re-elected as an outstanding youth representative of the county."
Wu An was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Wow, that's pretty efficient."
Old Meng exclaimed, "Wow, that's something!"
"So this makes him an outstanding youth representative?"
"Ah An, you've really made it big."
Wu An was also very happy.
Finally, I have a real label on me. The recognition I had previously thought of was good, but it just felt a bit superficial.
It's not easy to introduce it to outsiders; how can I tell everyone that I've performed acts of bravery several times?
People who don't know him might think he's a jerk.
However, the title of "Outstanding Youth Representative" is different; it can be used to introduce oneself to others wherever one goes.
Wu Yingwei finally burst out laughing; he had been holding it in for so long.
Wu An was happier than anyone else to receive such an honor.
Old Meng praised it highly.
Just a few months ago, Wu An was a despicable scoundrel, but now he has transformed into an outstanding representative of youth, a remarkable leap.
If he hadn't witnessed Wu An's transformation firsthand, and if someone had told him that someone had achieved this in just a few months, he would never have believed it.
Wu An asked curiously, "What about Shen Nan?"
Wu Yingwei coughed and said, "There's only one spot in our town. If you go up, then he'll naturally come down."
Old Meng was even more surprised: "Damn, Ah An, you've got some serious skills."
"Even generations of the Shen family's accumulated wealth can't defeat you?"
How did you do that?
He didn't consider that Wu Yingwei had contributed to this, and Wu Yingwei's character was obvious to all.
No one can take advantage of him.
Even his own son wouldn't do, otherwise Wu Ping wouldn't be without a position as a public school teacher.
Wu An said, "Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future."
Old Meng slapped the table in admiration: "Damn, no wonder you're doing so well."
Wu Yingwei said, "Let's go home."
"Let's have a good drink tonight, just the two of us."
Wu An nodded with a smile.
My dad was genuinely happy, and he rarely invited me to drink.
Old Meng stood up and said, "Count me in."
Wu Yingwei laughed and said, "Alright, alright, count me in, let's have a good drink together, the three of us."
Old Meng laughed and scolded, "Get lost, you're trying to take advantage of me."
The three of them walked into the courtyard chatting and laughing. Just as they reached the gate, they saw Mei Yueqin running out of the kitchen, covering her mouth.
Wu Ping, holding a spatula, followed behind, asking anxiously, "Yueqin, what's wrong?"
"I was just talking about braised fish, it shouldn't have disgusted you like this, right?"
He called out as he moved closer.
Mei Yueqin quickly stopped him: "Don't come any closer, don't get near me, you smell too strongly of soy sauce."
Wu Ping quickly stopped.
Wu An walked over and sniffed, but couldn't smell anything at all. He asked, "Brother, how much soy sauce did you put in when you cooked this braised fish?"
Wu Ping said, feeling wronged, "No way."
"I just added a little oyster sauce."
"That oyster sauce was made by you after spending 3,000 yuan to buy fresh oysters."
Wu An got anxious: "What do you mean? Are you trying to shift the blame onto me? The oyster sauce I make is absolutely good, all-natural."
It's only now that life is better that he's willing to spend so much money to buy oysters to make oyster sauce.
Wu Ping shouted, "It must be the oyster sauce that's causing the problem. Otherwise, why would your sister-in-law react so strongly?"
Wu An: "Impossible..."
Seeing the two brothers arguing, Wu Yingwei and Lao Meng exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "Alright, stop arguing."
"Yueqin, go to the town hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
Mei Yueqin shook her head: "No need."
"I feel fine, just a little nauseous. I think I'll be fine after a night's rest."
Wu Yingwei said, "I'm not asking you to get tested for vomiting, I'm asking you to get tested for pregnancy."
Upon hearing this, Mei Yueqin's eyes widened, and then she looked down at her stomach.
Naturally, nothing can be discerned.
Wu Ping: "I'm going to be a dad?"
Wu An: "Am I going to be an uncle?"
The two brothers laughed.
Old Meng said, "Then why do you need to wait until tomorrow to go to the hospital for a check-up and call Old Master Shen over to take his pulse?"
Wu An shouted, "I'll ride my bike to pick you up right now."
The reason why Old Village Chief Shen was so famous in the village was because he had worked as a barefoot doctor for a period of time.
Putting everything else aside, his pulse diagnosis is incredibly accurate. Now that he's retired, anyone in the village who feels unwell still goes to him for a pulse diagnosis before going to the hospital for medicine.
Old Meng said, "I'll go with you."
Wu An nodded.
When Grandpa Shen heard Wu An say this in the courtyard, he immediately agreed.
Get in the car.
The old man smiled and said, "Ah An, congratulations."
Wu An said, "Old village chief, are you talking about the outstanding young people?"
"Is Shen Nan alright?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I still have to say this: I didn't actually want to compete with him for this."
Grandpa Shen: "I believe it, I believe it."
Old Meng smiled but said nothing.
The old fox is a cunning old fox, and the young fox is a cunning young fox; not a single word of truth comes out of their mouths.
