Chapter 40: Mother's Family
Ay! An Ning sighed deeply in his heart, all in all, all of this is a mess left by the author. It's changed too much for a while, and it will always make people suspicious. An Ning couldn't find a better reason, so she took out the fact that she was sick and had a fever some time ago as an excuse.
"Hey! I used to be ignorant. Some time ago, Guodong didn't come back, I had a fever at home, and I was in a daze, and I thought a lot about it at that time, aren't the closest people our own family? In the past, I was too bad to my sister, but in the future, I want to be even better to my sister. ”
As soon as Bai Yunxia heard that An Ning had a fever, she hurriedly asked with concern, "What's the matter?" Why did you get a fever? ”
"It was my grandmother who pushed it!" The girl couldn't wait to open her mouth with a milky voice.
"What do you mean?" Yaya's words made the old lady angry, and she asked An Ning.
"Yaya, don't talk nonsense, children." An Ning turned her head to the maid and said angrily, then turned her head again, and said to the old lady: "It's okay, grandma, the child is not sensible and talks nonsense." ”
"Why are you still hiding it from me, tell me if the person surnamed Wang is bullying you again, and I'll settle accounts with her for you." With that, the old lady stood up and walked out the door.
An Ning pulled her back, pressed her on the chair, and said to the old lady, "Ouch, it's okay! It's all in the past, isn't this Guodong back? He's in charge of me, so let's not mention it! Today we are back, and we have a good family reunion. ”
What An Ning said was also reasonable, and the old lady was most reluctant to make An Ning unhappy, so she didn't continue to be stubborn.
Bai Yunxia made a pot of tea, poured tea for Liu Guodong, and asked him: "Guodong! When will you come back this time? ”
"Mom, I'll do it myself." Liu Guodong hurriedly took the teapot, and then said to Bai Yunxia: "I won't leave when I come back this time." ”
"What does that mean?" Bai Yunxia asked a little puzzled.
"I went home after graduation, and I was going to mix at home after that." Liu Guodong explained.
"You say, this kid, why don't you want such a good job? Seeing that the monthly allowance is being issued, you look at our ten miles and eight towns, which one of them has a good life with your family! Bai Yunxia really felt a little regretful. is used to enjoying peace at home, if Liu Guodong has no allowance, no one knows what he will be like in the future, if he gets poorer and poorer in the future, I'm afraid that Anning can't stand that kind of poor life!
An Ning knew that this matter was not easy for Liu Guodong to answer, and as a son, he couldn't blame all the faults on his mother, so he quickly took over the topic and said to his mother: "Mom, I'll come back when I come back, I think it's good to come back." On weekdays, I and the maid are at home, and he comes back to accompany me, and I feel comfortable this day. ”
Bai Yunxia looked at An Ning, and it was indeed different from the past on her face. In the past, when she went home, even if she brought Yaya, she didn't look kind to this child. Now I see that I am much closer to the child, and I have a slight smile on my face, which doesn't make people feel so distant.
Bai Yunxia sighed slightly, maybe this is not a good thing!
Diverging from the topic, the family gets together just to talk about some family life. Bai Yunxia went out to call An Ning's father, he always likes to play chess with the old guys in the village to pass some time, plus now that the wheat harvest has passed, the villagers have passed the harvest season, and there is basically nothing to do.
An Ning wants to pick up An Jie back, but where is the garment factory where she works? asked Liu Guodong to accompany her, so that she could take this opportunity to recognize the factory and remember Anjie's factory. Yaya played with the old lady at home.
Liu Guodong took An Ning all the way to Anjie's garment factory, and after questioning, he heard that An Jie was resting today. Then An Ning asked Liu Guodong to take her straight to An Jie's house.
Along the way, Tranquility is like a navigation, when to turn left, when to move forward, when to turn right, all remember clearly.
Liu Guodong stopped in front of the gate of a house, and An Ning jumped off the back seat of the bicycle, which was An Jie's home.
The condition of her house did not look good, the gate was very dilapidated, and the wooden planks on the roof had been broken with a large hole.
The door was locked, the iron rings on the door were rusted, and the locks were rusted.
An Jie was not at home, they ran for nothing this time, but fortunately, An Ning had already remembered the way, and when she had the next opportunity, she would come to see her sister in person.
When I got home, my father had already returned. Mother started working in the kitchen and cooked a table of meals.
The family sat around for lunch, which seemed to be something that the family had been waiting for for a long time. Since the two daughters got married, the family has been very quiet, An Zhigao is always away from home, and there are only two left in the house, Bai Yunxia and the old lady. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got together, and there was no topic to talk about, so it was really lonely and lonely.
After lunch, and playing at home until the evening, Bai Yunxia went to her own field to cut some home-grown leeks, wrapped some leek egg dumplings, and the family ate dumplings, and the sky was slightly dark.
When An Ning was leaving, Bai Yunxia packed her with some dumplings in that old-fashioned aluminum lunch box and told her to take them back to eat, and even brought out a bag of white noodles from the granary at home and put it on the back seat of the bicycle for them to take back.
An Ning knew that her parents felt sorry for her, but where could she take her parents' things? It was mandatory to put the flour and eggs back in, and only the dumplings were brought.
When she got home, it was already dark, and An Ning gave Liu Guodong the lunch box and asked her to send it to Wang Xiuzhen.
There is a total of one lunch box of dumplings, and there are only about 20 dumplings, not much, try it!
Liu Guodong is also a good worker, and when he went to Wang Xiuzhen's room, he told her that it was brought to her by his mother-in-law.
In this era, there are no plastic bags, and this is the kind of lunch box that can hold food. Otherwise, Bai Yunxia would like to fill them with more dumplings.
Wang Xiuzhen is not a lone eater, as soon as she heard that she was sleeping, she hurriedly called Liu Guoqiang, Liu Guodong saw that Liu Guoqiang was here, and simply called Liu Guoqing too, anyway, they had already eaten dinner, and everyone divided a few equally, so it was regarded as a solution to the hunger.
Speaking of which, it is true that the family has not eaten dumplings for a long time, Wang Xiuzhen is reluctant to make dumplings, on the one hand, she is not cooking, she is alone with noodles, and she is stuffing, so busy to death, she can't eat a few; On the other hand, she can save what she can, and keep the money for Liu Guoqiang to make up for his wife, those delicious foods, anyone in the family eats, she feels distressed.
