Their family hadn't been together for a long time. After An An came back, she also called her grandmother and they were very affectionate.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li cooked dinner. An An and Teacher Sun also helped in the kitchen. It was very lively. Looking at Teacher Sun busy cutting vegetables, she even had a slight illusion that it was time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. When An An was in a daze, Teacher Sun shouted, "An An, give me the garlic sprouts!"
The yard was relatively large, and Uncle Li and Aunt Li were used to doing farm work, so they planted a large area of garlic sprouts along the wall under the yard wall. The fresh garlic sprouts were green and juicy, and An An didn't know how many times they had been washed.
"Ah?" An An was a little confused. Teacher Sun repeated, "What's wrong with you, kid? Are you out of your mind?"
An An hesitated for a moment, "Did Dad finish his work?"
Teacher Sun thought for a moment, "It's done!"
An An was puzzled.
Teacher Sun paused while cutting vegetables, "Ask your dad later!"
An An said, "Oh," and became more and more confused. She asked casually, "What about you?" Teacher Sun was a teacher in Taisong County. If he came to Beijing, this work might not be solved in a short time.
Teacher Sun paused, "I'm thinking about it, but the general direction has not changed, I still plan to be a teacher!", but how to do it in the middle still needs to be thought about carefully. Thinking of this, Teacher Sun smiled bitterly. Think about it, their family came to the capital, but they had to rely on their daughter to support them, which was really...
An An pricked up her ears to listen, "Then will you still teach high school?"
Teacher Sun sighed, "There are so many talented people in the capital, it's not that easy." An An listened thoughtfully, and while speaking, he prepared a table of dishes. Uncle Li and Aunt Li were not outsiders either, and it was rare for everyone to get together. The table was full of people and it was lively and noisy.
The work of Gu Weiqiang and Teacher Sun was mentioned at the dinner table. An An then learned from her old father that there was some problem in Taisong County, and someone took over his position as the county magistrate in advance, so he was able to come to Beijing a few months earlier. An An was curious, "What is your current position?"
An An asked, and Gu Weiqiang was a little embarrassed, "A clerk in the street office!" According to this position, compared with Taisong County, he is actually not as good as the county magistrate, but there is no way, they have just arrived in Beijing, and from Taisong County to Beijing, this is already a big leap. Gu Weiqiang thinks it's okay, but he is afraid that his daughter will think that her old father is too useless.
An An silently took a bite of the crab roe that Lu Yan had peeled for her. It was so delicious that she wanted to bite off her tongue. She said incoherently, "That's good too! No matter what position we are in, as long as our family can be together." Seeing that An An was eating happily, Lu Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he also took the initiative to pick up a crab for his father-in-law. The weather in October is the season for eating crabs, especially crabs raised in rice fields, which are fat and fresh, and the female crabs have especially much crab roe. He put the crab in Gu Weiqiang's bowl, "Uncle Gu, it's not easy for us to settle down in Beijing from Taisong County. We should gain a firm foothold first!"
These words were like a reminder to Gu Weiqiang that he should not be too anxious for stability.
Gu Weiqiang took a bite of crab shell and nodded, "I understand the reason!" Seeing that her old father listened to Lu Yan's words, An An couldn't help but relax a little. Thinking of Teacher Sun's matter, she said directly, "Mom, don't worry about your work. Arrange the schools for Dongdong and Jiangjiang first. I will accompany you to see them when the time comes!"
This is the truth. Dongdong and Jiangjiang are still students. It will be difficult for them to adapt to the transfer from Taisong County to Beijing. Especially now that their studies are gradually becoming more difficult, they have to lay a solid foundation.
The nominated Dongdong and Jiangjiang immediately put down their chopsticks and listened with their ears raised.
Teacher Sun nodded, "I have found my old classmates, and I want to arrange Dongdong and Jiangjiang in a school near our home, but they haven't responded yet!" She graduated from Beijing that year. Although she has been away from Beijing for so many years, some of her classmates still stayed in Beijing. It is not difficult to find them, but it is difficult to ask others for help.
After all, they just came and haven't even settled their household registration.
An An frowned, "Dad, since you have a job, do you have any quota for students?"
Gu Wei Qiang rubbed his hands awkwardly, "I just arrived today, and I haven't asked yet. I have to ask to know." He felt that compared with his daughter and wife, he, as the head of the family, was somewhat unqualified!
Lu Yan interrupted, "I know someone at this school. I'll call them tonight. If it works out, we'll decide on a school for Dongdong and Jiangjiang as soon as possible." After all, school has already started. If we delay any further, the two children may not be able to keep up with their studies.
"What should I do?" Gu Weiqiang was a little embarrassed. To be honest, since he came to Beijing, he found that he was restricted and not as free as he was in Taisong County.
An An took it as a matter of course, "Dad, don't be polite to Lu Yan!", and said, she glanced at Lu Yan lightly. Her eyes were beautiful to begin with, and after this glance, Lu Yan felt happy and immediately straightened his body, "Uncle Gu, we are family so let's not talk behind each other's backs."
These words made Gu Wei Qiang very happy, and he and Lu Yan drank several glasses of rice wine in one breath!
Dong Dong was very happy. He was in a new environment, which was better than Taisong County. The kid was very happy. Jiang Jiang was a little unhappy. Lu Yan emphasized the word "child" before, which was obviously a warning to him. Jiang Jiang stretched out his hand and looked at it. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "Child!" In their eyes, he was always a child.
An An didn't notice Jiang Jiang's abnormality, but Lu Yan did notice it at the beginning. He poured a glass of rice wine for Jiang Jiang, but he didn't pass it over yet! An An glared at him, "Jiang Jiang is still a child, why do you let him drink rice wine?" Lu Yan was not annoyed. He raised his eyebrows and took the cup from Jiang Jiang again, "Since your sister has spoken, I will naturally listen to your sister. When you grow up, you can drink with me!"
These words were undoubtedly like a knife stabbing into Jiang Jiang's heart, but he couldn't show any abnormality, at least he couldn't let his sister see it and worry. He nodded and emphasized, "Sister, I'm grown up!"
An An smiled, "Yes! Our Jiang Jiang has grown up." To Jiang Jiang, An An's words were like a punch hitting cotton, light and uncomfortable.
He hurriedly took two mouthfuls of rice and said to everyone, "I'm full!"
An An was a little confused, but Dong Dong also put down his chopsticks and said honestly, "I'm full too!"
Seeing that An An's attention was about to be sucked away, Lu Yan took another female crab, removed half of the shell in a few seconds, and handed it to An An with the orange-yellow crab roe facing up, "Taste, this crab is very fat!" The crab roe in front of him immediately attracted An An's attention back, and he had no time to think about his two adolescent brothers.
Lu Yan did watch An An finish the crab roe and then took the crab meat back. The crab was too cold and she couldn't eat too much. Her body couldn't stand it. An An was enjoying it! The remaining half of the crab was taken away by Lu Yan. She stared at Lu Yan with resentment. Lu Yan explained in a good temper, "Be good, don't eat it!"
As soon as he said this, An An's little face turned red to her ears. She kicked Lu Yan's foot and neck, scolding, "Don't you look at where you are?". There were also grandma, old father and old mother at the table!
Teacher Sun was an experienced person, so she naturally knew that the two young people were just trying to make things difficult for each other. She said sternly, "An An, listen to Lu Yan, you really can't eat too much crab!" Gu Weiqiang wanted to say something, but his feet were stepped on tightly by Teacher Sun. He looked at the half-eaten crab in his bowl and decisively changed his position, "An An, be obedient!"
An An felt that she was isolated by her family and was feeling wronged! There was a knock on the door outside. Uncle Li and Aunt Li were about to stand up, but An An pushed them down. She ran over by herself. The old man was old, and she was still young and could still do things like opening the door.
However, she didn't expect that the people who came were Tang Lanzhi and Bai Yuejun, and they were followed by Bai Wanwan. An An frowned, "What are you doing here?" It was obvious that she didn't expect that they would find this place.
Tang Lanzhi looked at An An with a gentle look, "An An, you came to the capital, but you didn't tell mom, so that mom could take care of you!"
"No need!" An An refused directly. Hearing An An's decisive refusal, Tang Lanzhi's body shook, "An An, I'm your mother!"
An An sneered, "Why didn't you think of you as my mother when you left!" Seeing that Tang Lanzhi wanted to say something, she interrupted directly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't delay our meal!" It was already getting dark, but there were lights in the courtyard. When An An came out, she turned on the lights in the courtyard. Therefore, Bai Wanwan could see a rough outline of the inside through the gap in the door. She had only one thought: this house is really big!
Bai Wanwan's eyes flashed with jealousy, "Sister, we haven't eaten yet!"
An An was about to laugh at Bai Wanwan's words, "What does it have to do with us if you haven't eaten?" She paused, stared at the three people at the door with a smile, "Are you here to beg?"
This sentence made Bai Yuejun, who had been silent since he came to the door, angry. Bai Yuejun turned around and glared at Bai Wanwan, and said sharply, "Don't be so timid, our Bai family doesn't lack this little food!" Bai Wanwan's face turned pale, but she became obedient. Even Tang Lanzhi, who had treated Bai Wanwan like an eyeball before, did not stand up for Bai Wanwan. Seeing her like that, the mother and daughter were a little afraid of Bai Yuejun.
An An's eyes flashed with thought, and she carefully looked at Bai Yuejun in front of her. The last time she met this stepfather in Taisong County, he was a gentle and elegant scholar. How come, after such a short time, he couldn't pretend anymore, and his big tail wolf was exposed.
Bai Yuejun was a little jealous of An An, or rather, a little jealous of Lu Yan behind An An. He said with a loving face, "An An, right! Normally, when Qiao moves to a new house, people should come to liven it up. You just came to the capital, and you don't have any relatives, so we came to make the numbers and bother you." After saying this, he handed over the gift in his hand.
An An smiled and shouted, "Dad, your enemy is here to see you!" This sentence made Gu Weiqiang, who was eating in the house, come out. When Gu Weiqiang saw Bai Yuejun and Tang Lanzhi, his first reaction was to protect An An behind him. He said angrily, "What? You bully my daughter to the doorstep?"
As soon as Gu Weiqiang came out, the remaining few people in the house could not sit still. They all came out at once.
