Old Meng could tell from the bottom of his heart that Shen Nan's outstanding youth representative was secured for her by Old Master Shen.
Now.
Shen Nan was thrown down, and Wu An stepped in to take his place. How could Old Master Shen be happy about that?
Is it painful or not?
What can we do?
As the saying goes, you can't fight city hall.
Now, which is the arm? Which is the leg?
From the moment Wu An was singled out by his superiors for a promotion, the outcome was already obvious.
Old Meng handed the old man a cigarette and said, "Old man, you've dedicated your whole life to our village."
"Everyone in our village, young and old, remembers your kindness and gratitude."
“I’ve heard that there’s a lot of development going on outside, and our village can’t fall behind.”
“I know you want our village to be better more than anyone else.”
"Whoever is more qualified should step up and lead our village to better development."
"Aren't you right?"
Old Master Shen took the cigarette and said, "Do I need you to spout this nonsense?"
"An, drive carefully."
"How can someone who's so impulsive and careless accomplish great things in the future?"
Wu An happily agreed.
It's a good thing if the old man says a few words to him; it would be too scary if he didn't say a word.
Old Meng smiled and remained silent.
We arrived home.
Old Master Shen drank some tea and gestured for Mei Yueqin to sit down, extending his hand.
He placed his fingers on the wrist, and after a moment, the old man nodded: "Congratulations, it's a pregnancy pulse."
"It's been about a month."
"It might not be very obvious because it's been too short. You should hurry up and go to the hospital for a checkup."
The old man didn't make any absolute statements.
Upon hearing this, Wu An jumped up with joy.
Why is he so happy?
Because it's been two generations, our family is really going to undergo earth-shattering changes.
We're expecting a baby!
Last time, my brother and sister-in-law never had children in their lives, and many gossipy people said it was because he had dragged them down.
Actually, that statement isn't wrong.
When my sister-in-law married into our family, he was still a child, and she raised him single-handedly.
They raised him as their son.
Some superstitious elderly people say that he took the place of his elder brother and sister-in-law's descendants.
He outwardly scoffed at it, but in reality, it became a knot in his heart.
Regardless of the scientific explanation, it's because his brother and sister-in-law have some health problems that they haven't been able to conceive. However, the family is going through a difficult time, and he's causing his brother and sister-in-law worry and anxiety, which may also have an impact.
Now that his family is doing well and he's working hard, his brother and sister-in-law don't have to worry about him much. They're in a relaxed and happy mood, and good things are naturally coming their way.
The elder brother and sister-in-law were also very happy, and Mei Yueqin was so excited that she wiped away tears. Wu Ping kept thanking Mazu Goddess as he headed towards the direction of the Mazu Temple.
Wu Yingwei said with a smile, "I'll have to go and fulfill my vow another day."
Wu An said, "Go, all of you."
He needs to pray properly.
Seeing the overjoyed Wu family of four, Old Meng and Old Master Shen were also infected by their joy and smiled in approval.
After drinking a cup of tea and smoking a cigarette, Old Master Shen got up to take his leave, but Wu An tried to persuade him to stay and invited him to drink.
Grandpa Shen shook his head and politely declined.
Wu An packed up the few small green dragons he had bought from town, and also took two bottles of good wine, which he gave to the old man to take away.
Grandpa Shen couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it: "You're too kind, child."
"Okay, okay, I'll take them all."
“Your dad often brings me food and delivers goods, and he also keeps me company by drinking tea and alcohol to relieve my boredom.”
"Yingwei, come over another day, let's have a drink together."
Wu Yingwei smiled and agreed.
Wu An was surprised.
Is that so?
That old man is quite capable.
Wu An escorted the old man home. When they arrived, he saw that the house was dark and asked, "Isn't Anan home?"
The old man nodded: "He's never home."
"I'm busy with a project."
Wu An nodded: "It's good to be busy, it's good to be busy. I'll be going now."
Back home.
My sister-in-law was resting in the pavilion. When she got up to get something, Wu Yingwei and Lao Meng told her to stay still and told them to go ahead and do their work.
Mei Yueqin was both amused and exasperated, and said, "That's not necessarily true. We don't need to make such a fuss."
Wu An parked the car and said, "Sister-in-law, you should rest."
"You're our family's panda now."
"How about this?"
“I’ll go to the county to find a housekeeping company and hire a nanny to come home and take care of you.”
Mei Yueqin shook her head frantically: "No need, no need."
"People in the countryside aren't that precious."
"I'm fine except for feeling a little nauseous, An, please don't hire a nanny to come to our house."
She was terrified.
Looking for a nanny?
If the villagers saw this, who knows what they would say?
Wu An sat down and said, "I'm going to sea. Dad and my brother both have work to do."
“Anran is even busier than me right now, so she definitely won’t be able to come back to be with you often.”
"It's not good to have someone at home looking after things."
Mei Yueqin said, "At worst, I'll just go back to my parents' home and stay there for a while."
"Or you can call my mom over."
"Anyway, she doesn't have anything to do at home."
Hearing her say that, Wu An had no choice but to give up and stop insisting on finding a nanny.
The meal was prepared quickly.
However, Mei Yueqin was suffering from severe morning sickness and couldn't smell any oil at all.
There's no way around it.
She could only hide in her room and eat fruit, but I love that they ate and drank happily.
It was a double celebration at home, and since there was nothing else going on, everyone drank to their heart's content.
...
On the other side.
When Shen Nan returned home, he saw that the house was cold and the stove was empty. He asked, "Grandpa, haven't you eaten?"
Old Master Shen asked, "Who did you go drinking with?"
Shen Nan casually replied, "It's just for social occasions."
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."
To be honest, I quickly changed into a suit after returning home and came out, saying, "How is it?"
"I'm going to wear this to the awards ceremony."
"Absolutely the most beautiful one."
Grandpa Shen asked, "These clothes must be expensive, right?"
Shen Nan: "It's not cheap; it's custom-made."
"Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse."
"I need a proper set of clothes to do business."
Grandpa Shen nodded: "Then keep it."
"But you don't need to go to the awards ceremony."
"They've changed the person."
Shen Nan was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? Who would you replace them with?"
Old Master Shen remained expressionless: "Wu An."
Shen Nan: "Grandpa, this joke is not funny at all."
The old man didn't say anything.
Shen Nan became anxious: "Why was it changed to Wu An?"
“You already said it was a done deal back then.”
"I've been bragging about how great I am, and now you're telling me we've changed people?"
"Why him of all people?"
He shouted the last sentence.
Looking at his hysterical grandson, Grandpa Shen sighed inwardly and said, "This spot should have belonged to Wu An."
"I swallowed my pride and begged for it for you."
"Unfortunately, once we got there, we were sent back."
What can I do?
What do you want me to do?
Shen Nan shouted, "Then you should think of another way, find someone awesome!"
Grandpa Shen shook his head: "Anan, Grandpa is old and useless."
"From now on, you'll have to walk your own path."
"You can learn more from Wu An."
Shen Nan exploded on the spot, shouting, "Wu An, Wu An, every single one of you is speaking up for Wu An!"
Why should I make him study?
"From childhood to adulthood, in what way has he surpassed me?"
"When we were kids, he always followed me around. Now you want me to hang out with him?"
"To be his lackey???"
