As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, the whole table fell silent. The chopsticks in Gu Weiqiang's hand fell onto the porcelain bowl with a "snap" sound, making a crisp sound. He raised his eyebrows and said in a rough voice, "What did you say?"
Lu Yan was not afraid at all. He repeated it again, "I want to arrange the wedding with An An this year!"
Gu Weiqiang had a gloomy face and seemed to be turning his back on him. "Get lost, my daughter is not even twenty yet! I won't marry her!" As he said that, he stuffed a basket of seafood in the kitchen into Lu Yan's arms, "Where you came from, go back to where you are now!" His daughter is still so young, and he wants to kidnap her. Ugh! I'm afraid he's dreaming!
Gu Weiqiang hasn't finished yet! Teacher Sun raised his hand and pinched Gu Wei Qiang's waist, explaining, "Lu Yan! Your uncle Gu is just too excited, don't take it to heart!"
"I know!" Lu Yan put the frame in his arms on the ground and said to Gu Wei Qiang, "We're just engaged first, and we'll get married after An An graduates!" His words made Gu Wei Qiang's expression ease a little.
An An knew something was going to happen when she saw the look on her father's face. She smiled and sat next to Gu Wei Qiang, picked up a shrimp, carefully peeled the shrimp shell, and put the shrimp meat in her father's porcelain bowl, "Dad, try it, it tastes great!"
Gu Wei Qiang looked at the shrimp in the bowl and felt a little bald. It's a pity that a girl should not be kept when she grows up! If you keep it, you will end up with an enemy!
"If I find out that you treat An An badly, I'll skin you alive."
Lu Yan stood up and saluted Gu Wei Qiang solemnly, "I will protect An An with my life!"
Jiang Jiang, who had been eating quietly beside him, heard this and suddenly looked up at Lu Yan. He would also protect An An with his life, but... An An didn't want him anymore, An An didn't want Jiang Jiang anymore. There was never a moment when Jiang Jiang clearly realized that An An would leave him sooner or later.
Jiang Jiang's eyes were fierce, suppressed, and full of provocation, just like when the pork belly he had been dreaming of was taken away from him as a child.
Lu Yan acted as if he didn't see anything. He said to Dong Dong calmly, "When the time comes, you have to see An An off!" He said "you". Although Lu Yan didn't look at Jiang Jiang, he included Jiang Jiang in his words.
On their side, if a sister gets married, it is the brother who sees her off. Dong Dong nodded, "No problem, I'll take care of it!" This child has long been bought by Lu Yan, and from the heart to the body, she has single-mindedly decided that Lu Yan is her only brother-in-law.
But Jiang Jiang was not like that. He used to admire his brother-in-law Lu Yan, until one day, when he saw Erniu next door crying as he saw his sister off to get married, he understood a truth: if An An got married, she would belong to someone else, and would no longer be Jiang Jiang's An An, nor would there be the An An who secretly poached eggs at the bottom of the bowl for him.
No one would hold his ears and make him dry his hair before going to bed.
If An An got married, all his warmth would leave him.
From that day on, Lu Yan was a bad man to Jiang Jiang, an unforgivable bad man, a bad man who took An An away, and even more so, a bad man who took away his only warmth.
Jiang Jiang held the spoon tightly in his hand, wanting to throw it at Lu Yan's face, but he didn't. He held back because if he did that, An An would be unhappy.
Jiang Jiang hoped that An An would be happy, no matter where and when, she could be happy.
He raised his head and looked at An An, who smiled at Lu Yan with a smile on her face. This was a secret unique to the two of them, and no one else could interfere. Looking at the smile on An An's face, Jiang Jiang slowly put down the spoon in his hand, and took a deep breath, "As long as An An is happy!"
He would do anything!
Even if he was his lifelong brother.
An An didn't know that Lu Yan and Jiang Jiang had so many rounds of exchanges during this time, but when Teacher Sun saw Jiang Jiang loosen his fist, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was finally put down. As
the hostess of the family and a mother, she naturally noticed that Jiang Jiang's attitude towards An An was different. Jiang Jiang's experience made her feel insecure. An An was Jiang Jiang's salvation. She didn't know how to describe this kind of feeling. It was between family affection and love. If it took a little step forward, it would become love. This was what Teacher Sun feared the most.
Although the three children in the family did not come out of her belly, in her eyes, they were no different from her own children.
Especially now that Jiang Jiang has a surname, Gu. When she was in school, teachers and classmates would call her by her full name, Gu Jiang Jiang. Gu's family's household registration book also lists her name as Gu Jiang Jiang. She didn't want Jiang Jiang to disrupt the peace at home.
By then, not only Jiang Jiang would be sad, but An An would also be sad. She knew better than anyone how important An An was to her two younger brothers, Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang.
Only Gu Weiqiang, this idiot, would care. Now that Lu Yan has brought forward the engagement, what a good thing! This idiot still refused. He really deserved to kneel on the washboard.
Gu Weiqiang sneezed fiercely and whispered, "Wife, are you thinking about me!" The dinner table was noisy, and Gu Weiqiang's words were drowned out by the noise.
Teacher Sun rolled her eyes, "What a fool!" She wanted to tear open Master Gu's head to see if it was made of tofu dregs.
An An saw her old father whispering with Teacher Sun. She smiled slyly and whispered to Lu Yan, "Look how sweet my parents are!" Lu Yan
followed An An's gaze and his expression softened. This was also what he liked most about the Gu family. The family was very warm and cozy. Of course, it would be even more perfect if he ignored his brother-in-law Jiang Jiang.
Teacher Sun blushed when An An teased her, and immediately restrained herself and said seriously, "If you get engaged, which of your elders will come over?" This is a big deal! It is not something that a child like Lu Yan can decide. To a certain extent, the importance that the future in-laws attach to the marriage also represents the importance that their family will attach to An An in the future. Teacher Sun must keep a close eye on this point.
Lu Yan and Grandpa Lang looked at each other, and he replied, "Then there will be Grandpa and my dad together as the head of the family on my side!"
An An was startled. What about Lu Yan's mother? Although she didn't like her future mother-in-law, if the future mother-in-law didn't come to the engagement, who knows how the people around them would make up stories about them being unfilial.
Teacher Sun also thought of the problem that An An had thought of. However, as the elder of the girl and the mother-in-law, she put the problem directly on the table, "What about your mother?"
Lu Yan thought about the wording, but was taken over by Mr. Lang, "Lu Yan's mother is a weirdo. If she doesn't come to attend, An An doesn't have to worry about her even after getting married. Just treat her as a stranger." In their circle, not to mention the well-known figures, the conditions of every household are good.
The mother-in-law was detained and did not go to the engagement scene. Isn't He Chang telling everyone a signal that the new daughter-in-law doesn't need to care about the mother-in-law after entering the house? This mother-in-law! Don't try to show off to the mother-in-law. In this regard, He Chang is not Lu Yan paving the way for An An's future. He knows that his mother is not an easy person to deal with, so it is better to cut off the relationship from the beginning.
The little girl just needs to be his daughter-in-law peacefully, and he will take care of everything.
Teacher Sun is a woman, and her thoughts are naturally much stronger than Gu Weiqiang. She nodded and said, "Our An An is a filial child. Of course, the premise is that the mother-in-law must be kind, and the child will be filial!" There is one sentence she didn't say, but everyone can understand it. If the mother-in-law is not kind, how can the child be filial.
Isn't this a precaution for Lu Yan in advance? Don't promise in front of them, or An An will be embarrassed after they get married.
Lu Yan nodded solemnly, "The old lady in our family is not kind at all, An An doesn't need to be filial!"
An An, "..." Awesome, my brother Yan!
After getting a satisfactory answer, Teacher Sun looked at Lu Yan with more and more kind eyes. It was really that the mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more. Such a good son-in-law, come and find it!
An An's hand under the table silently raised a thumb to Lu Yan, but she underestimated the feelings of being a parent. Teacher Sun passed this test, but Gu Weiqiang didn't!
Men and women think differently. Teacher Sun thinks more about where to live after getting married and how to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But what Gu Wei Qiang was thinking was that Lu Yan was a soldier, on missions every day, and he could only be seen a few times throughout the year, and they were all dangerous missions. If An An married him, it would be like being a widow. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lu Yan's, and said earnestly, "If you start a family in the future, you should be more careful and stop going on missions everywhere. People at home are worried."
His words were a bit roundabout. It was really hard to say. If you are not careful, you might be considered unpatriotic. After all, Lu Yan was a soldier, and whether he was on missions or in the army, he was doing it to serve the country. It is said that there is a country before there is a family, but for Gu Wei Qiang, he did not have such big ambitions. He just wanted a wife and children to live in peace and security.
An An's fingers curled slightly, her nails scratched the inside of her palms, itching. I don't know if it was because it was too itchy, but her eyes were red. This is her father and mother!
No matter what time, they are always thinking about her.
Lu Yan drank a cup himself and filled Gu Weiqiang
's cup again, "I changed my job!" Gu Weiqiang was stunned, then clenched his fist and punched Lu Yan in the chest, "Okay, okay!" In addition to good, he really didn't know what words to use to praise Lu Yan. As a man, Gu Weiqiang naturally understood the meaning of the three words "changed my job" to Lu Yan. This child treated An An with such a heart, and he would be relieved even if he died in this life.
