Chapter 187 I'll Listen to You
"Xia Xia, what's going on between you and Brother Yuan? Why does something seem a little strange to me?" An Zhiqiu looked at everyone and asked in a low voice.
Seeing that her brother was really anxious, An Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yuan seems to like me, but I feel that I am still young and don't want to consider lifelong affairs so early. However, I don't seem to have no feelings for him either.
Brother, I, I’m afraid,” she said with her eyebrows drooping, “I’m afraid that my feelings are wrong and we won’t grow old together.”
After hearing this, An Zhiqiu's chest rose and fell violently. He looked at his sister with an uncertain expression and thought for a while, then said solemnly: "Xia Xia, my brother doesn't have high expectations for you. I just hope you can be healthy and happy. I won't interfere too much in your feelings, but that person must be someone I can trust to hand you over to him.
Brother Yuan is a nice person with good abilities and seems to be caring. But, Xia Xia, we know too little about him. We haven't been together day and night, so who knows what his true character and morals are like? There is a huge difference between making friends and dating, so we must be cautious!
We don't know what his family situation is like, but he has three children. As your brother, I don't want you to have any further contact with him. Firstly, it's not easy to be a stepmother, and secondly, the mother of the children will always stand between the two of you, which is an insurmountable hurdle.
Besides, he was exiled to Hetang Village. My brother doesn't have any prejudice against him, but a family like ours is not suitable to be dragged into a complicated environment.
Do you understand what my brother means? Love is just a temporary daze. You will have to face more reality and daily necessities in the future. "
An Zhixia looked a little ugly, but she still nodded obediently: "Brother, I'll listen to you."
An Zhiqiu wanted to pull his sister into his arms to comfort her, but at this moment he patted her shoulder and said, "Xia Xia, you are a smart girl. You will definitely figure it out in a few days. By that time, if you still want to be with him, your brother won't say anything. As long as you don't regret it, just follow your heart!"
After hearing this, An Zhixia suddenly realized something, pursed her lips and smiled and nodded, "Brother, I know what to do."
"Girl has grown up," he said with emotion, "You've been busy all morning, go eat quickly, and starting tomorrow we'll take turns to take everyone out to play."
After dinner, Aunt Fang and Fang Hongye resolutely took over the task of washing dishes and pots. The brother and sister were used to it, so they smiled and didn't interfere.
Uncle Fang walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, followed by a group of idiots. "Not bad, not bad. It's not easy to have a yard like this in Kyoto, right?"
"Yes," An Zhiqiu said with a smile, "There are many people in Kyoto, and there are a lot of rich and powerful people. If there is a house for sale, someone else will buy it before the news spreads. Besides, most people don't have enough space to live in, so why would they sell it?
We found a bargain, but within a few days, there were no houses for sale around us.”
"When the weather gets warmer, you still have to grow some vegetables in the yard, and use the windowsills and eaves. Food and clothing in the city cost money, but the problem is that you may not be able to buy them even if you spend money, and even if you do buy them, they may not be fresh or clean. It's better to grow them yourself and feel at ease," the village chief said, looking at the not-so-big yard. "If we use these two mu of land well, it will be enough for the three of you to eat. You must not learn the bad habits of city people who are picky and afraid of losing value. Anyone who can't get along with money and benefits is really stupid!"
An Zhiqiu smiled and replied, "Of course not. I'll get some bamboo in a few days and build a row of racks next to the courtyard wall. I can also grow a lot of fruits and vegetables. Xia Xia likes to eat grapes. She said she wanted to make a grape vine in front of the house and put a stone table and stone chairs underneath. When the weather gets warmer, we can cool off in the yard and listen to the tape recorder."
"Not bad, not bad," Uncle Fang nodded repeatedly.
Fang Yuan, who was following nearby, looked at the open space in front of the house thoughtfully. He walked around it twice, then said hello to An Zhiqiu and Uncle Fang and left.
After washing, Aunt Fang and Fang Hongye began to unpack the sacks of things they brought with them. "In our village, we slaughter the New Year pig for the New Year, and you and your sister get a share. I've made them into sausages for you, some with five-spice flavors, and some with spicy flavors.
Xia Xia likes to eat the spicy pickled radish that I pickled... I also smoked the game I hunted in the mountains this year and brought it to you..."
When the An family brothers and sisters came, food was secondary to their luggage, which mainly contained clothes, bedding and daily necessities. But the Fang family was different, only Fang Hongye stayed, and the others would leave after a few days, so food took up the majority of their luggage. Even the dried vegetables and dry goods that the brothers and sisters could not bring last time were brought to Kyoto at Aunt Fang's request.
Of course, there were also the high school books that An Zhixia put in the box and forgot to bring, as well as the thick stack of test papers and a complete set of math, physics and chemistry review books contributed by Fang Yuan!
An Zhixia thought to herself, the boss is indeed the boss, and he has a strong ability to control the future direction.
After packing up their luggage, everyone felt a little tired, so they went back to the house to rest.
Aunt Fang tossed and turned on the kang, unable to sleep. She couldn't help but patted her husband on the shoulder and said, "Grandpa, do you think that boy Yuanzi and girl Zhixia can be together? I think they are both interested in each other, but Zhixia treats the three kids better than others, and she didn't even look at boy Yuan at the dinner table."
"This is not something you should worry about. Aren't you tired after traveling for two days? Go to sleep quickly," Uncle Fang said dazedly with his eyes closed. The kids around him had already fallen asleep, snoring one after another.
"No, how can this not be something I should worry about? Our Hongye married Zhiqiu, so I will truly treat Zhixia and Zhiqiu as our own children. Besides, neither of their families has an elder who truly cares about them. You say, shouldn't I worry about my son-in-law's sister's marriage for him?"
"Zhixia and Zhiqiu are both successful people. They know what to choose. Young people have their own ideas. It's not good for us to interfere too much."
"Hey, I don't like to hear this. If you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer. No matter how smart they are, how many things have they experienced? No, we can't stay here for a few days. I have to help them both figure out this matter!" Aunt Fang said firmly.
So when Fang Yuan came back in the evening, he was pulled into a corner by Aunt Fang.
"Aunt Fang, is there something wrong?" Fang Yuan was a little amused when he saw her shameful posture, but he still asked in a low voice.
"Yuanzi, please tell your aunt something from the bottom of your heart. Are you really here in Kyoto for business and are you sending us off? Why do I feel like you're here for Zhixia?"
"Yes, but things haven't been settled between us yet. Auntie, you have to keep it a secret for me, otherwise it won't be good for Xia Xia if it gets out," Fang Yuan agreed straightforwardly.
