Chapter 224 Daily Life at Home 3
An Qiuxia's expression froze for a moment, and she was wondering what her mother-in-law meant.
It wasn't said like this before. Didn't it say that once you get married, you should pay more attention to your husband's family and less to your own? The fundamental way to survive is to manage your own family well, be filial to your parents-in-law, and serve your husband to carry on the family line.
Although she disagreed with some of the things, she didn't want to go to the city to refute her mother-in-law's words. She also agreed with what Gu Xiaojia said, so she went to her mother's house to ask for things back. When she brought the things back, her mother-in-law praised her as a good daughter-in-law.
But she has never been asked to take things back to her mother, but today she was asked to take things back to see her. This is really like asking for trouble.
"I also heard that he came back at noon today. I will go back to my parents' house to check on him tomorrow."
She didn't want to go there tonight. She had asked her aunt to find a good family in front of her cousin before. But now she has become a college student and will be a female cadre after graduation. She still has to go to work every day and her idea of living in the city has not been realized. It's really embarrassing.
Aunt Li was not satisfied with her answer: "You don't have anything to do tonight, why don't you just go tonight? Why go tomorrow morning?"
An Qiuxia was very adamant about this: "Mom, there's no such thing as going back to my parents' home at night. It would be embarrassing if it got out. I won't go there at night."
Aunt Li didn't look angry either. She just sighed and said, "I saw that you were close by, so I didn't care about those empty words. It's just that your mother doesn't like me. If I went there, she would be unhappy. Otherwise, I would have gone there myself."
But no matter what she said, An Qiuxia refused to go today, and Aunt Li could only grit her teeth inwardly, thinking about how to torment her disobedient daughter-in-law in the evening.
After An Xueyan went to see Doctor Huang, she learned that their master and disciple had returned. Doctor Huang asked her a lot of questions about things in Beijing before letting her leave.
In the evening, Dr. Huang, Mr. Feng, Grandpa Liao, the eldest uncle, and the second uncle's family were invited to dinner at home, so her father had already cleaned up at home. Her aunt, who had been the chef of the An family in recent years, went to study. After counting the people who could cook, the only ones left were her father and her grandmother.
She suddenly felt that it was not good to go back. Her father was at work, so her grandmother would cook. Her tongue and stomach would be in such a bad state. This was really a disaster.
The matter of dinner was discussed at noon, so not long after An Xueyan returned home, her eldest aunt and second aunt also came home early from work. They put the grandson on the kang and asked An Xueyan and An Yunyun to look after him while she went to the kitchen to help.
Wang Lai Di was not very particular about her work, and everyone else in the family knew about her problem, so they just let her do chores like washing vegetables and making fire.
"Aunt, when will my father and mother come back from studying in Beijing?" An Yunyun in the room was missing her parents.
She is at the age where she can remember things, so it is normal for her to miss her parents.
He consoled her, "You'll be back in a few months when school is on summer vacation. I'll bring you some delicious and fun things to do in Beijing."
I thought to myself that I must not forget to mention this to my cousin next time I write to him, otherwise my niece would call me a liar.
An Yunyun asked with sparkling eyes: "Aunt, can you take me with you next time you go to Beijing?"
"Your grandparents won't agree. Besides, I won't be going to Beijing for the time being. But you can write to your father and ask him to work hard to earn money so that we can buy a big house. Then you can go to Beijing and live with your parents."
Unable to satisfy my niece's wish, I decided to let her go to her father.
Her eldest niece also thought her words were very good, so she made a quick decision: "That's great, let's buy a big house for our whole family to live in. I'll have Grandpa write a letter to Dad tonight."
Half a month later, An Jianhua received a letter written by his father and spoken by his daughter asking him to earn money to buy a house. How could he, a poor college student, earn money? Studying every day made him bald.
This is all a story for later. The An family was very lively at night. An Qingping's cooking skills were quite good. An Xueyan noticed that her grandparents ate a little too quickly. She suspected that the old couple had not eaten anything good during this period. Had her grandmother's cooking skills declined again?
An Youliang, who was very happy with the meal, invited Mr. Feng and the others to have a drink, and kept thanking them for helping to educate his grandchildren so well, and for bringing along other children in the family as well.
He had thanked them at the wedding banquet when he was admitted to the university, and he wanted to thank them again now. He promised that this favor would be of use to him in the future, so just ask and his family will definitely not refuse.
An Qingguo and An Qingshun also thanked and toasted each of them one by one, and only stopped when the old men were all slightly drunk.
After the meal, the An brothers were responsible for sending the old men back home. After cleaning up the kitchen, the eldest and second aunts also took the children home.
When there were only three people left in the room, An Xueyan took out a small box and said to her grandmother as if presenting a treasure: "Dangdangdang, grandma, this is a surprise for you."
"What else did you buy? I don't know if your father has spent all his money on building things for you." Now that there were no outsiders around, Zhang Guihua couldn't help but start nagging.
He reached out and took the box, opened it directly, and was stimulated by the gold inside. He immediately closed it and patted his chest, which felt a little abnormal.
At this time, I wanted to call my husband: "Old man, I just saw gold."
An Xueyan...it turns out that when something happens, your spouse is the one you trust the most.
An Youliang, drunken and dazed, responded to the call and muttered, "You haven't drunk any alcohol, so why are you talking nonsense? Where did our family get the gold? Did you pull it?"
Zhang Guihua slapped the drunkard in annoyance. He was unreliable and she had to do it herself. She opened the box again and found a big gold bracelet lying quietly inside. The golden light dazzled her eyes.
"Is this real gold?" Without waiting for An Xueyan to answer, he picked it up and took a bite, leaving a tooth mark.
"Milk, don't move your mouth, this is the real stuff." An Xueyan was afraid that she would take another bite, so she quickly spoke out to stop her.
Seeing the real feeling of the gold also made her feel uneasy. She said with a serious face, "Tell me the truth, where did you get this thing?"
"My dad took us to the scrap yard before and picked up some gold bars. This time I took one and asked someone to make it into a bracelet." This was true, but the gold bar was not the one picked up from the scrap yard. She asked someone to melt down some ugly gold jewelry in the house and make it into a bracelet.
Zhang Guihua did not suspect that she was lying. After all, she had seen that the brother and sister always brought back a lot of old things whenever they went to the city.
He said in a positive tone, "So you and your sister used to buy some junk because you found gold bars in it."
