"This is the beef jerky that my son Xiao Jiang sent back. I brought some over for you to try." Zhou Meihua walked into An Huan's house holding a paper bag.
An Hua came out and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang sent something again."
Zhou Meihua sighed, "That's right. This kid only thinks about his family. I don't know if he's doing well over there. Anyway, the letters only report good news, not bad news."
An Hua said, "It's okay. You send him money often. He must have enough materially. At least he is much better off than others."
Zhou Meihua chatted with An Hua for a few more words, and then asked, "Who was the person who came to your house just now? He looked unfamiliar."
Song Chuhong mentioned by Zhou Meihua.
An Hua said casually, "She is a doctor at the county hospital. She was the one who delivered me. After we got to know each other, we occasionally interacted with each other."
Zhou Meihua was just curious. She asked one question and then stopped paying attention. After a while, she said goodbye and left.
An Hua opened the paper bag given by Zhou Meihua and called the children over to eat beef jerky.
"Try it first to see if you can bite it. If you can't bite it, don't bite it hard, or you may break your teeth."
The air-dried beef jerky was in strips and very hard. An Hua tried it and found she could bite it.
Dongdong took a piece of beef jerky, tore it and bit it bit by bit, and handled it easily.
Tuantuan tried to bite it, but couldn't, so he gave it back to his mother.
Yuanyuan was gritting her teeth, looking like she was ready to fight to the death with the beef jerky.
An Hua couldn't help laughing, "Go slowly, be careful not to break your teeth, learn from your brother and eat it bit by bit."
Yuanyuan simply put one foot on a small stool, held the beef jerky with both hands, leaned forward, concentrated her center of gravity, and exerted great strength.
As soon as Xiao Yan got home, he saw his daughter in this state and sighed, "With this posture, someone who didn't know would think you were carrying explosives to blow up a bunker."
An Hua quickly stopped him, "Don't eat it. Mom will tear it into small strips for you to eat."
An Hua snatched Yuanyuan's beef jerky, tore it into small strips, put it on a plate, and gave it to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
Xiao Chen washed his hands and changed his clothes, then walked over excitedly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he kissed An Hua on the face.
An Hua gave him a glare, "What happened? You look so happy."
Xiao Chen chuckled, "Nothing happened. I just feel very happy that I can see my wife and children as soon as I get home."
An Hua hesitated and wanted to tell Xiao Chen what Song Chuhong had said.
"What's wrong? Is there anything?" Xiao Qi asked when he saw An Huan seemed to be hesitant to speak.
At this time, Qiu Shushen called for dinner, and An Hua said, "I'll tell you tonight."
Xiao nodded.
At the dinner table, Qiu Shushen suddenly mentioned, "Huanhuan, I went to your father's place today and heard him say that he was going back to the provincial capital for a trip to school."
An Hua was not surprised. An Bohuai would ask to go back to the provincial capital every once in a while, but An Hua would scare him off and he dared not go back.
But this time, An Bohuai had to go back.
"Your father said that it was the school that asked him to go back. He originally came to Yun County to apply for a long-term research position, but his letter of introduction had already expired, so he had to go back."
Qiu Shushen explained the reason.
An Hua thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back. Why not let Dad move in with us? Then no one will check his letter of introduction."
Qiu Shushen smiled and said, "Apart from the letter of introduction, your father should also go back. After all, he is a working professor, how can he stay out all the time?"
Xiao Yu comforted her, "It's okay, my dear. Just go back. With the educated youth going to the countryside, factories resuming production, and schools resuming classes, the whole society has stabilized."
An Hua also knew that she couldn't keep An Bohuai under control forever.
She asked, "When will Dad come back to Yun County?"
Qiu Shushen: "It's not clear yet. It depends on the situation."
An Hua: "What about you? Are you going back with Dad?"
Qiu Shushen shook her head, "The twins are still so young, how can I leave?"
An Hua was relieved.
After dinner, it was not completely dark yet, and many people went out for a walk to digest their food. An Hua asked Xiao Chen to move the summer bed into the yard so that the children could enjoy the cool air in the yard, and she also lit a plate of incense to repel insects and mosquitoes.
Several children lay on the cool beds, looking at the moon in the sky, and they all felt that this was a very strange feeling.
Dongdong suddenly pointed to the sky and said excitedly: "Mom, mom, the moon star is out!"
Qiu Shushen sat on the edge of the cool bed, fanning the children. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "The Moon Companion Star has two other names: Changgeng Star and Morning Star. It is the brightest star in the sky."
