The feeling of being thought of by others is definitely not bad, which is exactly how An An felt at the moment. After eating this meal, An An's belly was bulging. When they left, Zhang Xiaowu directly got them a bucket. In order to bring the river fish back alive, he also filled it with a lot of water, a full bucket.
Anyway, An An felt that she had not eaten such fresh river fish for a long time. Their family also had more meat from the ground, and it was the same in the market. When Lu Yan saw An An smiling silly at the bucket, his eyes dimmed.
It turns out that this girl likes to eat river fish so much. The family has brought a lot of meat before, but I have never seen her enjoy it so much. "Don't look at it. Let's come over when Xiaowu's pond is released next time!"
An An touched her belly a little embarrassedly, smiled and nodded, "I know!" When she went back this time, she also brought Zhang Xiaowu with her. It was obvious that Lu Yan and the others had something else to do. An An did not delay them. After sending the bucket of river fish home, Lu Yan left again.
However, this bucket of river fish caused a sensation in the compound. Those who could live in the compound had good conditions at home. Every household ate meat every meal! One meal a day is definitely enough, especially since it was snowing a few days ago. It is not easy to get so many fresh river fish alive. Looking at the fish swimming around, it is estimated that they were caught from the river not long ago.
The people next to him immediately made up their minds and wanted to buy two to take home.
But An An rejected them all. There was only this one bucket in their house, and it was half full. If you counted carefully, there wouldn't be much for them to eat. After entering the house, Gu Wei Qiang saw the bucket of river fish and his eyes lit up immediately, "This is good stuff!"
An An pursed her lips, "When I entered the compound before, the neighbors wanted to buy some yellow croakers from me, but I refused!" After that, she silently observed the expression of her old father and took a step back, "Dad! If you want to use it to build relationships, I have nothing to say, but you are not allowed to sell it! We don't have enough for ourselves!" After a pause, she added, "You can give some to Secretary Ding and Uncle Hua Zi!" An An had to admit that she was a little protective of her food. This kind of thing could not be bought even with money.
"My son-in-law brought this for me, no one else can eat it! Not even Huazi. If he wants to eat it, go find his self-sufficient son-in-law!", Gu Wei Qiang didn't mind the cold, he reached into the wooden barrel and caught the yellow croaker that he had been fishing for a day. Maybe he had been holding it in for too long and the weather was cold, the yellow croaker was breathing out more than breathing in. "As for using connections, your dad doesn't have much to use, let's keep it for ourselves."
Teacher Sun raised his hand and squeezed Gu Wei Qiang's waist. Gu Wei Qiang immediately changed his words, "Give it to big brother later to let them have a taste!", Who was this big brother? Of course it was Secretary Ding. But it was not about using connections, this was for relatives, so of course it was different.
An An originally planned to bring some to Secretary Ding and the others, but she didn't expect her father to be so afraid of Teacher Sun! She chuckled, "Dad, you should coax Mom first!"
This sentence made Teacher Sun blush, "An An!"
An An responded with a smile, "I know, Mom is shy!" Then, before Teacher Sun got angry, she immediately changed the subject, "Grandma, do you want to eat boiled fish soup, or fry fish for you!" Teacher Sun knew that An An was looking for excuses from Grandma and changing the subject, but when she heard An An's question, she still listened with her ears raised.
"Let's cook fish soup! Drink it to warm your body!" Grandma grinned, smiling kindly, "Grandma missed An An's blessing, and there are fish to eat!" It's not easy to catch fish in this winter!
An An's little face couldn't help but turn red, "I got this from Yan Ge's friend! It has nothing to do with me!"
Grandma squeezed her eyes at An An, "Yan Ge is a good boy!" Then she changed the subject and told Teacher Sun, "Hongmei, Yan Ge is impatient with us. These are rare things. You can see what we should prepare as a return gift. Don't let others look down on our An An and think that we are only after the things!"
As soon as these words were spoken, An An felt a warm current in her heart. She stomped her feet, "Grandma, Yan Ge wouldn't think so!"
But grandma shook her head, "No matter what others think, we have to be polite." The TV had already taken advantage of Yan Ge, but that thing was too expensive and their family couldn't afford to return it.
This TV! The Gu family remembered it in their hearts.
That’s why Lu Yan brought such ordinary New Year gifts when he came to the Gu family this time. It’s because it’s cold, so these things are rare. When spring comes and the water is released, these things! They are not particularly expensive things.
He just remembered that he helped to get a TV last time, and the Gu family was obviously grateful. Although An An gave him a sum of money in private, he didn’t want it.
The Gu family felt that they took advantage of Lu Yan. Every time he came, he found that grandma and the others were much more polite to him. It was really because of the TV. Looking at it this way, it would be better to get some rare food.
Lu Yan's arrival was like a gust of wind, and after that day, he disappeared again. The review materials he brought back to Beijing for An An really helped An An a lot, or rather, helped the entire class a lot.
When An An was doing the review materials at home, Teacher Sun was watching beside her. She couldn't help but sigh, this is the relationship of connections. Strictly speaking, the materials Lu Yan found for An An were the key areas of the test questions, and there was also a copy of last year's college entrance examination paper. You have to know that these things are really impossible to find without certain abilities.
It was because when Lu Yan was looking for the questions for An An, Teacher Sun also copied down the questions by hand and explained the key points to the whole class. However, what Teacher Sun didn't know was how popular An An's original review materials were in the class.
Look! After class, An An was writing hard. The study committee member next to her walked to An An's desk with a blushing face and said in a soft voice, "Gu An An, can you lend me your review materials?"
Everyone in the class knew that the materials in Teacher Sun's hand came from Gu An An.
An An lowered her head and glanced at the review materials she was writing. She murmured, "Later! I have only three questions left to finish. I'll give it to you when I'm done!"
When the study committee member heard that Gu An An was willing to lend it to her, her face suddenly lit up and she kept thanking her, "Thank you!"
An An shook her head and hadn't spoken yet! Discordant voices rang out from the side, "Tsk! Can't you see that this is Gu An An's excuse! They clearly don't want to lend it to you, what are you thanking me for?" Huang Zhenzhen rolled her eyes. At least she had been quiet for a while before. Since An An and his family moved out, she became more and more dissatisfied with Gu An An. To put it bluntly, it was jealousy that was playing tricks on her.
When the Gu family first moved to the faculty and staff compound, Gu An'an was just a bumpkin from the village, and she was also motherless. But in such a short time, her status suddenly changed to the daughter of the county head. In other words, she became the kind of person Huang Zhenzhen wanted to be, but she couldn't change, and could only stare at her with envy.
For people like Huang Zhenzhen, if you ignore her the first time, ignore her the second time, and let her learn a lesson the third time, but even if she learns a lesson, it won't take long for her to return to her old ways again. She is simply a vicious person.
An An skipped Huang Zhenzhen and looked at the study committee member, "If you trust me, I will give it to you in the next class, but you have to return it to me after school!" This information was the focus of her review, and she would be able to use it even after school.
The study committee member nodded, thanked her solemnly, and whispered, "Can I ask you questions like Hu Xiaohua?"
An An shrugged, "Of course I can as long as I have time!"
Huang Zhenzhen, who was ignored, rolled her eyes and immediately came up with an idea, "Gu An An, did Teacher Sun keep this information for yourself and give it to you alone? He just wants you to get a high score, and we are all abandoned!" This was a very meaningful attempt to sow discord.
When she said this, the students around her who were originally discussing the questions suddenly pricked up their ears.
An An raised the information in her hand and laughed instead of getting angry, "This was brought back by my friend from Beijing. Even Teacher Sun's information was taken from me. Since you don't believe it, forget it. I will talk to Teacher Sun privately and ask her to return the information she transcribed to me. After all, in your eyes, this is prepared just for me. Teacher Sun can also feel more relaxed and doesn't have to stay up late at night to transcribe information for everyone?" The ungrateful person is Huang Zhenzhen.
When An An said this, it was equivalent to taking back everyone's interests. Someone next to her immediately started to criticize Huang Zhenzhen, "Hey, Huang Zhenzhen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't talk nonsense here!"
"That's right, we know Gu An An and Teacher Sun very well. Stop making trouble here!"
Seeing that the public opinion had changed, An An smiled and held up the information, "Everyone can borrow the information in my hand, except Huang Zhenzhen."
Huang Zhenzhen immediately stiffened her neck and gritted her teeth, "Gu An An!" She and her mother made three rules that no one would be introduced to her for the time being. If she failed to get into college, she would go home and get married after graduating from high school.
She wanted to get into college more than anyone else, and now what Gu Anan did was equivalent to ruining her future. However, Huang Zhenzhen forgot that if she hadn't taken the initiative to provoke, this result would not have happened. "I'll go to Teacher Sun and tell him that you don't help my classmates!"
Anan chuckled, "No!"
"No one can help me!" Huang Zhenzhen was so angry at her decisive look. Anan didn't even look at her, but turned around and handed the information to the study committee member, "Hurry up and take a look! Other students will also want to borrow it!" She only had the original file in her hand. When Anan said this, it was equivalent to seeking benefits for all the students in the class except Huang Zhenzhen.
The study committee member was also straightforward, "Don't worry, I will keep it safe and won't let any strangers see this information!" After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Huang Zhenzhen. Everyone knew who the strangers were talking about.
Huang Zhenzhen glared, pointed at the study committee member, and said bitterly, "You are just trying to curry favor with Gu Anan!!"
"She studies well, so what's wrong with me currying favor with her?" The study committee member slapped Huang Zhenzhen's hand away, "Get out of the way, don't disturb me from studying!"
Anan took the lead in laughing. It must be said that the study committee member in their class has a talent for comedy. She didn't even know how ridiculous she was. She really learned everything!
After seeing An An smile, the classmates around couldn't help themselves. Huang Zhenzhen was used to flattering the weak in their class. When Gu An An first came to their class, she was also like this. But they didn't expect that Huang Zhenzhen would be more restrained after Gu An An's status changed, but unexpectedly, she became even more aggressive.
Huang Zhenzhen, who was isolated by everyone, had red eyes and sat down on the stool, her chest shaking with anger.
But An An acted as if she didn't see it. Hu Xiaohua reached out and tugged at the corner of An An's clothes, whispering, "An An, that Huang Zhenzhen's eyes are so scary, she wants to eat you up!"
An An turned around and glanced at Huang Zhenzhen lightly. She said lightly, "There's nothing I can do. She's too good, and mediocre people will always envy her!"
"Who are you calling mediocre?"
An An sneered, "Who should be called!" As soon as she finished speaking, the bell for class rang. Huang Zhenzhen held her breath, but could only swallow it back again.
If An An had eyes in the back, she would naturally see that Huang Zhenzhen's face was as ugly as an overturned palette.
Unfortunately, even if she couldn't see it, she could guess it almost exactly.
The days of studying were rather boring. The only fun every day was watching Teacher Zhen bring nutritious meals to Banxia. In An'an's eyes, Teacher Zhen should be the kind of person who doesn't care about worldly things, but she didn't expect that she was such a good cook. Every day, she
made different kinds of delicious food for Banxia, and delivered it to her door. Every time, An'an could eat a lot! An'an touched her waist at a speed visible to the naked eye. Logically, after the winter, when she took off a layer of sweaters, her waist should have become thinner! How come it was growing sideways when she touched it! It was all little meat.
An'an was so scared that she didn't dare to eat secretly anymore. Every time, no matter how Banxia tempted her, she would hold back her mouth.
But when An An saw the food in Ban Xia's schoolbag, she couldn't help but think of Xu Chengcheng. She leaned on her arm and murmured, "I wonder how Chengcheng is doing in Shanghai?" After she said that, Ban Xia lost her appetite, "I miss Xu Chengcheng a little bit!"
An An nodded, "I miss her too!"
Hu Xiaohua couldn't help but agree, "Yes! I wonder if Chengcheng misses us!" They had always been four people before! Unexpectedly, there are only three of them left now.
An An shook her head, "After we finish the college entrance examination, let's go to Shanghai to see Chengcheng!"
Hu Xiaohua's eyes lit up, "Can I go too?"
"Of course! Then the three of us will go together!"
...
After school, An An hasn't entered the yard yet! She heard a commotion in the compound, and she squeezed through the crowd to take a look. Oh my goodness, where did this auntie come from? She was holding Teacher Sun's arm and crying. Of course, if this auntie was a little gentler, she might be more deceptive, but while she was crying, her eyes kept glancing into their house. What did this mean?
An An saw the embarrassment on Teacher Sun's face. She deliberately glanced at the aunt who was holding Teacher Sun's arm, "Mom, where did this beggar come from?"
The aunt who was called "going to break" was originally crying, but when she heard this, the aunt froze up and even forgot to cry. She patted the dust off herself, as if she didn't hear what An An said about "going to break". She grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Ah! Hongmei, this is your stepdaughter! She looks like... What a symbol, just like the people in the New Year pictures!" Then she changed the subject, "I am your aunt! Child, you recognized the wrong person when you first met, your aunt doesn't blame you!"
An An did not miss the helplessness in Teacher Sun's eyes. It was obvious that Teacher Sun did not want to acknowledge this relative. An An played the role of the mean and arrogant stepdaughter to perfection, "Mom, our family does not like this kind of poor relative, please don't bring him home! It will be bad if something is lost at home."
As soon as she said this, a smile flashed across Teacher Sun's eyes. Noticing the neighbors who were watching the excitement, she sighed, "An An! Let's go inside and talk."
There were so many people watching the excitement around. The child could be willful, but she, as an elder, could not.
After entering the house, the door was closed with a "bang", and the people who were watching the excitement outside dispersed.
Teacher Sun got straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, tell me, what's the matter this time?" In the past few years, when they couldn't make ends meet, they didn't see these relatives helping them. Now they suddenly came to their house, which must be something bad.
The eldest aunt's eyes flickered, and she looked flattering, "Hongmei! It was my fault for being a troublemaker in the past, causing a rift between you and your grandson's family. I deserve to die!" As she spoke, the aunt slapped herself, without changing her expression, and continued, "But! We are relatives! Broken bones are still connected by tendons! Now your nephew wants to eat rations, and you, as the wife of the county magistrate, must help us. After all, our Dazhu still asked you to call him aunt!" After
hearing this, An An understood. It turned out that the relatives who had not visited for decades were arranging jobs for them as soon as they came! What a big tone, asking for rations as soon as they opened their mouths!
An An glanced at Teacher Sun, and when she saw Teacher Sun shook his head at her, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Teacher Sun frowned and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, I really can't do this. My husband is the head of the family. Not only am I not the head of the family, but I am also a poor teacher. After I come back, I have to please my stepdaughter and stepson. If you really think of me as a sister, please understand my difficulties, okay?"
This was the first time An An saw Teacher Sun "selling himself", and he was serious, and he said it as if it were true, and she almost believed it.
The eldest aunt looked at Teacher Sun suspiciously, "Hongmei! You can't do this! Dazhu is your dear nephew. If you don't care about him, the roots of your Sun family will be destroyed."
Teacher Sun remained calm, "I am a married daughter, of course I hope that the Sun family can live well, but I really can't do anything." Anyway, Teacher Sun insisted that she couldn't help.
The eldest aunt, "You really don't care about your nephew's life or death?"
"How can I manage it? I married into the Gu family. I have a mother-in-law above me and three children below me. My life is not easy either. I have to look after other people's faces. Sister-in-law, if you understand me, just go out this door and never come in this door again." After a pause, Teacher Sun's aura changed and threatened, "I remember when my parents were still alive, they said that I had a room in the ancestral house in my hometown. If you keep pestering me, I will go back to the village and take the ancestral house away. You have to give it back, even if it's to the clan!"
The elder sister-in-law's face changed, "We agreed at the beginning that you gave up the house voluntarily because you couldn't take care of your parents-in-law until they died. Now you want it back, what's the matter?"
Teacher Sun said coldly and helplessly, "Sister-in-law! It's not that I want the ancestral house, but if you don't let me live a good life, I won't let you live a good life either!" Her idea of replacing the pillars with the beams really entangled the woman in a while.
The aunt took a deep breath, "I won't ask you to help Dazhu, on the premise that you don't ask me for the ancestral house anymore."
Teacher Sun nodded, with a cold face, "Okay, don't disturb my life!"
The aunt looked at the things in the house with jealous eyes, pointing to the kitchen, "Pack two pieces of your bacon for me, I'm leaving now." This clearly means that she didn't take advantage, and she had to take advantage from another direction.
An An picked up the broom behind the door and beat the aunt, "You still want to covet my bacon, get out of here as soon as possible, we can't even bear to eat it ourselves!" In fact, after An An drove the aunt out of the door with the broom, she was also confused.
Why did she suddenly get angry? ? ?
An An turned around and saw Teacher Sun looking at her. She scratched her head in embarrassment, "I don't like this person's eyes. They are always slippery and staring at our house. She wants to move everything in our house away."
Teacher Sun waved his hand, "Forget it, just beat her. This way she will learn a lesson. Our family is not easy to bully!" According to her previous plan, she would use both soft and hard tactics to get her sister-in-law away, so that she would not come to cause trouble next time.
However, if An An is scared after this beating, she may not come again.
An An grinned, "Mom, you don't like her in the first place, why do you have to talk to her so much!"
Teacher Sun sighed, "My eldest sister-in-law is a mean person. When she returns to calm down, she will definitely complain to my eldest brother, and then she will definitely come to make trouble again!" This is also the reason why she wants to keep things quiet. After crying her heart out, she can avoid future troubles.
But she didn't expect that this girl An An suddenly got irritable and beat the person away directly, but she had to admit that it was quite satisfying to beat him.
"As long as you don't blame me for beating people!" An An smiled and pinched Teacher Sun's shoulders, "If they come next time, I will beat them every time they come! What are you afraid of!"
