It has to be said that An An had a new respect for Ban Xia because of her endurance. In the past, Ban Xia was really the greediest one among them, but now she could endure to only eat her own salted cabbage in front of a table full of dishes. To be honest, An An felt that she might not be able to endure it when it was her turn.
When they returned home, it was already late, but they didn't expect that there was someone waiting at their door. An An raised her eyebrows. Who would be waiting at their door at
this time? When they got closer, An An and Gu Weiqiang looked at each other. Wasn't this person the famous matchmaker Zhang in the neighborhood? What was he doing waiting at their door?
Gu Weiqiang was an adult after all. He walked a step faster and asked, "Matchmaker Zhang, what are you doing?" Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning of his question was indeed clear enough.
Matchmaker Zhang was really angry! It was the first time she acted as a matchmaker and was turned down. If she hadn't remembered that the woman had paid a lot of money, she would have left long ago. Maybe it was because she had been squatting for too long, and Matchmaker Zhang was also a bit old. When she stood up, she staggered a few times! She
almost fell down, but she was a matchmaker after all, and she was very eloquent. She could make the dead come alive. She smiled and said, "Look! I heard the magpie calling in the back of the house. No wonder! The noble man is back."
When An An heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Who would this matchmaker be a matchmaker for? She looked at her old father. Wow! Someone has set his sights on her old father.
An An remained calm, "I don't know, what brings you to my house, Matchmaker Zhang?" This was the second time she asked this question. It was asked by Gu Weiqiang before, but was interrupted by Matchmaker Zhang.
Matchmaker Zhang's face froze, and her powdered face dropped layer by layer. She suppressed her displeasure, "You must be An An! This girl is so pretty. I'm here! I have something good to tell you! You said that your family doesn't have a woman to take care of the house, so I, the matchmaker, am here to send a woman to warm your father's bed."
An An and Gu Weiqiang's faces suddenly turned ugly. If they hadn't been concerned about Matchmaker Zhang's identity, they would have kicked her out on the spot.
An An said directly, "Matchmaker Zhang, which family are you matchmaking for? If you want to be our three siblings' stepmother, you have to ask us three siblings if we agree!" Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang echoed, "That's right! We don't want a stepmother!" After
saying this, the smile on Matchmaker Zhang's face slowly disappeared. It was the first time she came to a house to act as a matchmaker and was turned down. She suppressed her unhappiness and said, "You are still children and don't understand the hardships your father has gone through in raising you. You also know the person I'm introducing, Huang Yanqin, the eldest daughter of He Dali's family. We are all from the same compound and our character can be seen. I would say that Huang Yanqin has a good appearance and figure, and she is also young. As the only daughter of your family, if she marries into your family, she will have to serve you, and I will give you a lot of help." "You are the head of the family, so you should give me a word. You can't let the children decide such a big thing!"
Gu Weiqiang was angry, "He Dali's family came all the way to bully my daughter and son. Marrying them is just making enemies!" After that, he didn't care about the matchmaker's identity. He directly grabbed the matchmaker's collar and slid to the door. "I don't plan to get married, so you don't have to worry about our Gu family. Don't push Huang Yanqin or Li Yanqin into our house. And! My daughter has the final say in our family!"
Seeing this, An An praised her father for his decisiveness. If he had hesitated a little, the matchmaker would have
been Sure enough, Gu Weiqiang's ruthlessness made Matchmaker Zhang look extremely ugly. Even her eyebrows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a mosquito to death. She waved her hand, put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Don't you see what your family's conditions are like? A grown man has to take care of three children. Which girl would be willing to marry him?" In the eyes of Matchmaker Zhang, Gu Weiqiang was the worst among the candidates she introduced. After all, he had to take care of several children by himself. If the children were younger, it would be fine. They could still live with a stepmother in the future. But in a family like Gu Weiqiang's, the three children were all in their teens and obviously could remember things. It was not easy to be a stepmother.
An An laughed angrily when she heard this, "What's wrong with my father? My father is 1.8 meters tall, handsome, has a stable job, can make money, has a house in the county, and is family-oriented and loves his children. He can marry a virgin girl if he wants to. Why would he be so picky about marrying a divorced woman?" In An An's eyes, her father is the best father in the world, and no one can slander her father in the slightest. She continued, "Not to mention that marriage is a big deal, and it's always the man who brings it up first. Why does it become the woman's turn in my father's case? "Proposing marriage, how much you want to get married, how much you want a man! Hurry up and deliver it to your door!"
This is the truth. Since coming to this era, An An has basically understood the customs of this era. For a big event like marriage, the woman is always the more reserved one. If there is a proposal of marriage, it is the man who asks the matchmaker to come to the door. When they arrived at their house, it is estimated that the father's conditions were too good, so Huang Yanqin hurried to marry. It is no wonder that An An has a bad impression of Huang Yanqin. It is really that the behavior of the old and young in that family is a bit unflattering.
Gu Weiqiang was touched. He didn't know that in the eyes of his own lady, he was so amazing.
Huang Yanqin, who had been hiding behind the door and listened to the whole thing, suddenly rushed out of the house with tears in her eyes, questioning, "Master Gu, do you also look at me like this?" As for An An, she ignored him.
Gu Weiqiang was even more desperate, "We are not familiar with each other!", just four words, but they almost made An An laugh. At the critical moment, the old father was still more powerful. These four words suppressed Huang Yanqin's hope in an instant.
Huang Yanqin's face turned pale and she stopped crying. Although she felt a little resentful in her heart, she was unwilling to give up and played the emotional card. "Master Gu, we all live in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. I saw that you, a grown man, are having a hard time taking care of three children, so I wanted to help you share your worries and solve your problems. As parents, don't we all want our children to live a better life? You, a grown man, are often not at home. If I were to go to your house, I would definitely make sure that the children have a hot meal every day after school, and you can feel at ease when you are out running errands. If you were at home, it would be even better. The family would be reunited, and the children would have a father and a mother, and a healthy family."
Look at what she said. She married Gu Weiqiang just to share his worries and solve his problems, so that the children could live a better life.
She had no selfish motives.
Gu Weiqiang didn't listen to her at first, but when he heard that he was often not at home and the children didn't have hot meals at home, he obviously took it seriously and thought quickly, "I don't think it's hard to take care of the children. As for whether the children have hot meals when I'm away, you don't have to worry about it. I have my own arrangements to ensure that my children, Gu Weiqiang, have hot meals every day." After hearing this, Huang Yanqin's face turned green. Is this the point? The most important thing in her words is that after she gets married, Gu Weiqiang will have a wife and children to live in.
But why did Gu Weiqiang only see the children? ? ?
An An was about to burst out laughing at her father's straight male thinking. Even she, an outsider, could hear the meaning of Huang Yanqin's words, but her old father was really concerned about whether the children had hot meals when he was not at home. There was
really no way to talk about this.
Huang Yanqin had said that, but Gu Weiqiang still refused to listen. There was really nothing she could do. But she was unwilling to give up. She had stayed in her parents' home for so long. Although her mother did not dislike her, her father disliked her for bringing a girl to live at home and eating for free.
Moreover, after her divorce, her ex-husband Chunsheng had some intention to remarry her. After all, when she was at home, she was responsible for the three meals a day and the housework inside and outside the house.
Now that she is not in that home anymore, all these chores have to be done by that old woman herself. When she does them herself, she realizes how much work there is and how tired she is. She is probably dreaming about returning to that home, but now she can't hold on for much longer. If she doesn't get married, her father will drive her back to her ex-husband's home.
Huang Yanqin was so anxious that her lips were churning with anger. She looked at Zhang the matchmaker, hoping that the matchmaker's clever mouth could help her say something good.
Matchmaker Zhang was also somewhat reluctant to help. Seeing the attitude of the Gu family, it was obvious that they did not want to marry a daughter-in-law. However, she was attracted by the ten yuan given by Huang Yanqin, so she continued, "Master Gu! Huang Yanqin has a figure that can give birth to children. If she marries into your family, she will definitely give birth to a big fat boy for you. In addition, she is nimble and can take good care of your whole family." These words were already explicit enough, directly speaking from the interests of Gu Weiqiang himself. She didn't believe that this middle-aged man, Gu Weiqiang, had no desire for women at all.
Matchmaker Zhang said these words in front of the children. Gu Weiqiang blushed and pushed Matchmaker Zhang out. "You old man, you are so talkative. I have two sons and a concubine. What's missing is a fat boy??"
An An was a person from the future. She thought it was natural. She smiled and said, "Matchmaker Zhang, you are wasting your time. My father doesn't like Huang Yanqin. He divorced at a young age and brought a concubine who is not sure what to do. If you continue to match them up, it will be a mess! If the marriage fails and they become enemies, then the consequences will fall on you in the end." These words are so straightforward! Since you are so shameless and try to sell it, she will directly devalue this person.
If her father had any feelings for Huang Yanqin, An An would not have done such a thing. The premise is that her father had no feelings for Huang Yanqin, and she also had no good feelings for Huang Yanqin.
At this time, in the eyes of Zhang the matchmaker, An An was the most difficult stepdaughter in history. She turned around and left with a snort. She had been a matchmaker for a lifetime, and this was the first time she encountered such a thing, the man drove the matchmaker out.
The matchmaker was driven away, and the rest of the people were embarrassed. This happened in the evening, and many neighbors around saw it! Many people laughed at He Dali's family. It was not because Master Gu's family was rich, but this was something that everyone could see. The day before yesterday, they were still bullying Master Gu's children, and today they were going to marry their daughter to someone else.
Moreover, they were in a hurry and directly asked the matchmaker
to come to the house to make a proposal. As a result, Master Gu had high standards and didn't like her. This was really a case of not getting any benefits but getting into trouble. Huang Yanqin was in a really awkward situation at this time. At this time, everyone in the house also came out. Xiao Lingdang stood in front of her mother and held Huang Yanqin tightly with her little hands. She also wanted to really call Dongdong and Jiangjiang brothers. She liked endless beautiful clothes to wear and endless delicious food to eat. She stared at Dongdong and Jiangjiang without blinking, "Brother Dongdong, Brother Jiangjiang, don't you like Xiao Lingdang?" If it weren't for the egg incident, maybe Dongdong and Jiangjiang would not say anything cruel when facing such a little sister.
But the egg incident made Dongdong and Jiangjiang completely sad.
Dong Dong refused directly, "I don't like it!", and then added, "I don't like stepmothers even more!" In the eyes of children, stepmothers are the representative words of bad people.
Jiang Jiang also expressed his attitude, "I don't need a sister! I don't need a stepmother!"
An An praised her decisiveness in protecting her two children, but Xiao Lingdang was not so happy, she cried with grievance. Not to mention Xiao Lingdang, Huang Zhenzhen was also uncomfortable at this time. She wanted her sister to marry Master Gu more than anyone else, so that her sister would be Gu Anan's stepmother. In the future, if Gu Anan wanted to buy something, he would have to go through his sister's hands. But now he didn't like her sister at all, which made her happy in vain.
An An didn't know that Huang Zhenzhen's heart had become so dark. Before Huang Yanqin even married into their family, she had already started to covet their family's money.
Having lost face enough, He Dali and Huang Shulin slowly came out of the house. He Dali sneered at Gu Weiqiang, "What the hell? It's your blessing that our Yanqin likes you. How can you have the face to refuse?"
Teacher Ding had just walked into the yard pushing a bicycle when she heard He Dali's words. She frowned, kicked off the bicycle kickstand, walked aside, and said calmly, "Master Gu, you said you wanted to buy a car last time. I've asked for you. When can you find time to go and take a look?"
Gu Weiqiang was stunned for a moment and was about to ask back, when did he say he wanted to buy a car. But she was pulled by her own daughter. An An looked at Teacher Ding and saw the purpose of the visit from the other's eyes. It was obvious that Teacher Ding was helping her father to gain face!
An An opened her mouth and said, "Thank you, Teacher Ding. Remember that my father wants to buy a car. If it's okay, let my father go over to have a look some other day! After all, the weather is getting hotter. My brother and I ride bicycles to school every time. It's also very sunny. Don't get tanned by then. That's not worth it." An An still knows how to brag. This kind of high-profile display of wealth is what she loves to do the most. Don't you, He Dali, think that my father's rejection of your daughter is a big loss? ?
Haha, just look at it, who is unworthy of who? ? ?
Haha! This naked display of wealth not only made He Dali's eyes widen, but also many of the neighbors around gasped. Among them, Huang Yanqin and Huang Zhenzhen were the most uncomfortable. The better the conditions of An An's family, the less likely they were to get her, and the more jealous they were.
Gu Weiqiang also reacted at this time. He waved his hand, "Okay! Take me to see it when you have a day off!" But this bragging was a bit false! They just bought their own bicycle! The money at home can't even afford to buy tires for a small car!
"Okay, no problem." Teacher Ding nodded and said, "An An, bring Jiang Jiang to my house after dinner. I'll teach him arithmetic!" Teacher Ding teaches arithmetic himself and hates to see good seedlings buried. Many times when Jiang Jiang and Dong Dong were lying at the door of An An's classroom to do their homework, Teacher Ding found that Jiang Jiang was weak in this area, but his mind was surprisingly flexible. It was obvious that he was a good material for learning arithmetic!
An An nodded. It was obvious that Teacher Ding was going to start cooking for Jiang Jiang. Teacher Ding nodded to Gu Weiqiang as a greeting and left directly. When she moved, the people around her subconsciously made way. Although Teacher Ding had lived in this area for so many years, they were still a little scared of her because she never smiled and was cold to everyone. In addition, there was an old man in a trance at home, so she kept a distance from everyone.
After Teacher Ding left, the people around looked at An An and his family with even more awe. What a rich family! No wonder they could adopt a child casually and even afford a car. Most people can't afford it!
An An glanced coldly at He Dali's family, sneered, and said sarcastically, "The door of our old Gu's house is not for cats and dogs to enter." This was really merciless. Who are cats and dogs? Everyone present knew it in their hearts.
After saying that, she turned around and went back to her home, holding one of them in each hand. As for Gu Weiqiang, he told everyone with his actions, "My family is very good, I don't need anyone to introduce me to a partner!" After saying that, he slammed the door shut. The people around were watching the excitement, and when they looked at He Dali and Huang Yanqin, the mockery in their eyes deepened.
A few minutes ago, He Dali was still saying that it was a blessing for them that her daughter Huang Yanqin fell in love with Master Gu, but she slapped her in the face right after. She didn't need anyone to introduce her to a partner, right! She can already afford a car, so why would she fall in love with Huang Yanqin? ? ?
Not to mention the encumbrances in the family, everyone still couldn't figure it out.
He Dali was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She grabbed Huang Yanqin, closed the door, and cursed, "You loser, you can't even handle a divorced man."
He Dali was also very angry, so she spoke without restraint, but she usually loved Huang Yanqin very much.
When Huang Yanqin heard what her mother said, tears fell down, "People look down on me, what can I do?"
There was a lot of noise here, but after An An and the others went into the house, it became completely quiet. Obviously, everyone in the family was in a bad mood because of what happened outside. She said seriously, "Dad! We don't object if you want to find a stepmother for us. The premise that you like that person is that she must be kind." Only a kind person would love the three of them and accept them as siblings. She didn't want to bring back a vicious stepmother and fight with her at home every day. That kind of life was too sad.
Dongdong and Jiang Jiang also said in unison, "Be good to your sister! Otherwise we don't want you."
Gu Huazi looked at his three children so serious, he smiled bitterly, and repeatedly stated, "Dad has you and that's enough, why should I find a stepmother for you! Don't worry, I won't find one!"
An An saw that her father was determined and didn't talk about it anymore. If she met the right one in the future, she would definitely help her old father to keep an eye on him. After all, they will grow up sooner or later, and in the end, it will be his wife who will accompany his father.
Dongdong went downstairs and was going to call Mr. Li. It was basically time to check his homework. Mr. Li checked Dongdong's homework once a week, but each call took more than half an hour. I don't know how much he spent on phone bills every month.
An An took Jiang Jiang to Teacher Ding's house. She went to chat with Grandma and handed Jiang Jiang to Teacher Ding. Jiang Jiang used to stop reading halfway through, but thanks to his amazing memory, subjects like Chinese that only require memorization are not difficult for Jiang Jiang.
Mathematics is a rare subject, which is a chain of links, just like building a building. It is obviously unreasonable to let Jiang Jiang build to the fourth floor without laying a solid foundation.
Although Teacher Ding teaches high school mathematics, she is also familiar with elementary school mathematics textbooks because she has run a cram school before. It is divided into three stages: elementary school, junior high school and high school. However, it is a small class with a few scattered students. But if she prepares for class, she really needs to remember all the courses of this stage.
Teacher Ding's teaching skills are second to none in this area. I guess no one dares to claim to be the first. She has a separate teaching plan for Jiang Jiang's child, starting from the textbook of the age. She has already linked part of it in the previous few times, and now she is continuing.
Although An An was talking to her grandmother in a casual manner, she had to admit that Teacher Ding's teaching method was really advanced. When she was teaching Jiang Jiang some arithmetic knowledge, An An listened carefully and realized that what Teacher Ding was teaching Jiang Jiang was the mathematical thinking mode, which was quite amazing. She was not teaching just a single type of question, but an entry-level method.
Even An An was mesmerized by what was being said. It took grandma several calls for An An to come back to her senses, "Ah! Grandma, what did you just say?"
Grandma pinched An An's face and smiled, "It's okay! If you want to listen to Xiao Bao's lecture, just go and don't accompany the old lady!" An An shook her head, "No, I just think the teacher teaches very well!"
Grandma looked proud, "Xiao Bao is the best teacher." It seemed that in the eyes of all mothers in the world, their own children are the best. Even if grandma was a little dazed, she couldn't suppress the pride on her face when she mentioned her children.
An An felt a little sad when she saw this scene. Teacher Ding was obviously not Grandma's little treasure, but Grandma had always lived in her own world. An An didn't know if Grandma would persist after losing Xiaoxiao and knowing that her proud son was also gone.
An An underestimated Grandma. Grandma's life was really full of ups and downs. When she was a girl, she was the eldest daughter of a scholarly family. Before she got married, she was really spoiled by her family.
But later she married a second-generation ancestor whose ancestors were in trouble. That second-generation ancestor was useless, but Grandma really loved that man, even if it meant remarrying. After she got married, the Ding family gradually fell into decline. She personally sent away her parents, parents-in-law, her beloved man, and even her eldest daughter.
After waiting for Xiaobao to grow up and get married, she encountered the Great Revolution, which took away Xiaobao, her daughter-in-law, and even her only granddaughter.
If she were a weak person, she would have collapsed long ago after seeing off one family after another. However, although Grandma was in a trance, she still maintained her kindness and optimism.
An An didn't know what happened to Grandma, but looking at her old and kind face, she always had an optimistic smile on her face. An An felt that nothing could defeat an old woman over 70 years old.
She lay in grandma's arms and whispered, "Grandma! An An likes you so much." She was talking about An An. At this time, she suddenly found that her feelings for grandma were even closer than Zhou Aiju's. Even though she and grandma had no blood relationship, she felt very comfortable when she was with grandma. It was a relaxation and trust in her bones.
After hearing this, grandma smiled and did not correct An An's wrong words. She pressed An An's little head slightly into her arms, and her hands slowly rubbed An An's temples, with the strength gradually increasing. An An was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
Fortunately, it only took Teacher Ding an hour and a half to teach Jiang Jiang. An An listened with her ears tilted up, and there was gentle pressure on her little head. Her eyes became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep in the end. After
Teacher Ding finished teaching Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang's eyes became brighter and brighter. Teachers love this kind of students the most. They have a strong desire for knowledge and study seriously. It can be said that during the hour and a half she taught Jiang Jiang, this child, except for occasionally looking at An An, was very focused and could basically keep up with her thoughts. This is rare. She has been teaching for so many years, and the first one she met was An An. But she didn't expect to meet a little Jiang Jiang in such a short time. What's more, these two children are siblings.
As for Dongdong, although she had never tutored him, she thought that child was smart. Otherwise, at such a young age, he would carry a thick medical manual and read it wherever he went. If it were her, as an adult, she would find it boring, but Dongdong read it with great interest every time. Even she had to admire him!
It must be said that Master Gu was very lucky. Each of his children was smart and clever. Other parents could not even ask for this, but he had three children at once.
After the class, Jiang Jiang ran to An An with a book in his arms and smiled at his grandmother. As she was old, she loved this kind of child the most. She touched Jiang Jiang's little face with a smile and said gently, "Wake her up! Go back to rest early."
Jiang Jiang nodded, and his little hand was halfway out. When it saw that it was only two centimeters away from An An's face, he quickly retracted his hand and whispered, "Let sister sleep for another five minutes." Five minutes later, he woke his sister up. It was obvious that the child was reluctant to wake up the sleeping An An!
Grandma's eyes were filled with even more kindness. She was about to pat An An, but Jiang Jiang hugged her arm. Little Jiang Jiang shook his head, his clear eyes glowing and watery. He refused, "Grandma! Wait a minute! Let my sister sleep for a while." When the child spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered next to Grandma's ear, so An An was not woken up.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Jiang reached out her hand again, and when she was about to touch An An's face, the child put it down again, and said in a tangled voice, "Grandma, Teacher Ding, let my sister sleep for another ten minutes!" Seeing that his sister was sleeping soundly, the child really couldn't bear to wake her up!
Grandma and Teacher Ding smiled at each other, and found the child more and more interesting. Teacher Ding ignored Jiang Jiang and went directly to the bathroom to wash up, leaving Jiang Jiang to accompany Grandma. The two of them kept their voices low, which was quite interesting.
An hour later, An An slowly opened her eyes, stretched her stiff neck, and saw Jiang Jiang at once. She asked, "Jiang Jiang! Have you finished learning?"
Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up when she saw An An wake up. She was afraid that Grandma had let something slip, so she hurriedly said, "Yes! I just finished talking! Sister woke up." In fact, it took more than an hour to finish talking, and the child just squatted on the ground, waiting for An An to wake up, trying again and again. In the end, he was reluctant to wake An An up, but let her wake up by herself.
An An stood up and stretched her muscles, "What a comfortable sleep! Grandma, Teacher Ding, I'm taking Jiang Jiang home!" After saying hello, she helped Grandma to the edge of the bed. An An then held Jiang Jiang's hand and walked back. On the way, she asked, "Is it difficult?"
Jiang Jiang shook his head, "Not difficult at all. Teacher Ding explained it very well."
An An rewarded Jiang Jiang with a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, praising him, "My brother is so smart." Jiang Jiang's little face flushed, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his sister didn't notice.
When she got home, Gu Weiqiang and Dongdong were sitting in the main room, nodding their heads, but they hadn't gone to bed yet. They were obviously waiting for An'an and Jiang Jiang. Maybe the sound of opening the door was a little loud, waking up the dozing Gu Weiqiang. He raised his head suddenly, "Are you back? Are you hungry? Dad will make you some one-sided soup?" It's really late! Children are growing up, and they are most afraid of being hungry.
Just after he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. An'an was also curious about who came back to their house at this time, and turned back to look!
Gu Wei Qiang was the first to speak, "Master Wang, why are you here so late?" This Master Wang was the old master who led Gu Wei Qiang on the journey, and the two have always had a good relationship. Master Wang first set his sights on An An and nodded, then looked at Gu Wei Qiang and explained, "The team has a more urgent job, and it's a big order, and we don't have enough manpower, so we were thinking of you!"
After listening, Gu Wei Qiang looked at An An apologetically, "My daughter! Dad will be away for a few days again, you have to help look after this house." Every time he went out to deliver goods, he was most worried about his family. After all, he was the only adult at home who was in a hurry. If he was not at home, wouldn't there be only three children left?
After saying that, he added, "If it really doesn't work, you can go to Huazi's place for dinner every day. I have told Juxiang before that if I'm going away, you can go to their house."
An An shook her head, "Dad, don't worry! I'm at home! I will take good care of my brother." She paused, "Master Wang, when are you leaving and how many days will you be gone?" This was the key point. This time she was in a hurry to go away, she didn't prepare anything, and her father didn't even have a steamed bun. She was afraid that she would have to starve on the road.
Master Wang smiled, and his head full of white hair looked at You Jifen and Wei, "You are Wei Qiang's eldest daughter An An, right?" An An nodded, and he continued, "We will leave at five o'clock tomorrow morning. We temporarily called your father over just to load the goods! I'm afraid he will be busy moving the goods all night, and it will be morning when he is done. How many days will he be gone? We are not sure about the time now, but it will take at least five days." After
getting the accurate information, An An thanked him. Because it was so urgent, Gu Wei Qiang did not have time to pack his things. He just put on his hat and left home with Master Wang.
An An watched her father walking further and further away, and sighed, "Being a driver is too hard." She would have to find a way to get her father to change his career in the future. If not, she could let her father work in a textile factory like Uncle Huazi. It would be less tiring if he was closer to her, and it wouldn't matter if he made less money. Anyway, the money in her pocket was enough for them to live for a few years.
Seeing that An An was in a bad mood, Jiang Jiang quietly squeezed An An's hand and whispered, "Sister! I'll accompany you! I will earn money to support you and Dad in the future." An An smiled and said, "Go to the bathroom to wash up, you have to go to school tomorrow morning!"
Although Jiang Jiang was a little worried, she listened to An An and went to the bathroom honestly.
An An looked at Dong Dong who was still sleeping soundly on the stool, and with all her strength, she picked up the child. Don't say it, Dong Dong didn't have much flesh, but he was so heavy that An An almost fell down. Fortunately, she remembered that there was a little person in her arms and she couldn't let him fall.
Dong Dong was sleeping in a daze, "Sister?"
An An coaxed him, "Go to sleep!"
These two words made the child fall asleep again. Jiang Jiang came over at the right time. An An found a towel to wipe the child's feet, wiped the child cleanly, and stuffed him into the quilt.
Seeing that both children had fallen asleep, An An lost her sleepiness. She sat in the living room for a long time before going to the kitchen to check the ingredients in the kitchen. She had just taken out 20 kilograms of fine white flour, and there were still eggs. There was not much bacon left. The family ate meat every meal, so no matter how much, it would not be enough.
She made up her mind and returned to her bedroom. She turned around and went to the supermarket to check the cooked food area. There were steaming buns in the stacked steamers. She picked up ten and put them in a bag. She looked at the roast chicken, hesitated for a moment, and put one in. After all, she felt sorry for her father. An An was alone outside and could not care about anything else.
An An even grabbed a handful of candies. Candies are high in calories. For people like Gu Weiqiang who are too busy to have time to eat, it is easiest to stuff two candies in the innermost part. After replenishing the sugar, the body will feel more or less comfortable, at least it can last until dinner time. It was
almost packed.
An An then lay down on the bed, and did not forget to set an alarm for four in the morning. She had been to her father's workplace once, and the county town was not that big. She estimated that it would only take ten minutes to ride a bike there.
But it was already late, and she had not been lying down for long. She took a nap, and the alarm rang. An An did not have time to stay in bed, so she directly packed the things she had packed the night before.
After going to the kitchen, she wiped her face casually, took the car key, and the door creaked open. An An turned around and looked at the two round little heads, stunned, "Dong Dong, Jiang Jiang, why did you get up so early?"
