Became a poor little boy abandoned by his educated youth mother?

After saying that, he went to the utility room to find the old man.

An Honglei, who was rejected by his grandmother, sat down dejectedly. An Xueyan went up to comfort him: "Brother, don't worry, this won't work."

An Honglei said gloomily, "That woman is so good, grandma must want dad to marry her too."

Seeing her niece's confident and unhurried expression, An Qingyu asked, "Yan Yan, why do you think it won't work?"

"First, Grandma Li and our grandma don't have a good relationship. It's unreasonable for someone with whom we have a bad relationship to suddenly think about you.

Second point: The woman she introduced sounded very good, but too good to be true. With that kind of situation, she could have found a good, unmarried man in the city, or a widower who was married but had no children. Why did she have to look for one in the countryside? There must be something fishy going on.

The third point: My dad is the one who makes the decision. If he doesn't want my grandma to do something, then nothing I say will matter." An Xueyan shrugged.

Holding her brother's hand, she looked into his eyes and said, "So don't think too much now. The key is still with our dad."

Although An Honglei felt that what his sister said made some sense, he was still worried and said, "I'll ask Dad when he comes back. If he wants to marry a stepmother, then... I won't live with him anymore. From now on, it will just be me and my sister.

Sister, don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you in the future. I will always protect you, and no one can hurt you."

The little man made a solemn promise to An Xueyan, who was a few years younger than him, with a firm look in his eyes. An Xueyan's heart was deeply touched. Many years later, she could not forget what her young brother said to her in this simple room.

An Xueyan hugged her brother with tears in her eyes and said, "No one can hurt us. I will protect you, brother."

The brother and sister hugged each other tightly, giving each other strength.

"Ahem," An Qingyu interrupted, "It's not that bad. Even if he really remarries, if you don't get along, you can just live with your grandparents."

Cousin An Dongmei also nodded: "Yes, let Uncle San pay for Grandma to raise you and your siblings."

In the utility room next door, An Youliang shook his head after hearing this and said something similar to An Xueyan: "Zhang Qingcao must be hiding something. She can't be so kind."

"Don't rush to answer her. Find someone to inquire about this woman's situation. You can ask the boss to ask if there are any people from the coal mine in the next county. They may have more information in the city."

Your parents may not be able to find out what happened. If you deliberately conceal it, people on your parents' side may not know about it.

Nowadays, people rarely go to the city, let alone things in the next county.

When An Qingping returned home at noon, he was greeted by his son's questions.

"Dad, are you going to find a stepmother for us?" She looked at her father without blinking after asking.

An Qingping was confused. Why did he suddenly ask this question? He had already stated that he would not marry again.

He looked at his son and asked, "Why did Shitou suddenly ask this?"

An Honglei pursed his lips and felt a little uneasy that his father did not directly answer his question. Does his father still want to get married again?

An Xueyan said with a smile: "Grandma Li came to our house today to propose a marriage and introduced her to Dad. Are you surprised, Dad?"

An Qingping: What a shocking accident! He just has a headache now.

He frowned and reiterated, "Dad has no plans to remarry. From now on, I will just be responsible for raising you and your siblings."

He patted the brother and sister's heads one by one and said softly, "I'll talk to your grandma about this. No matter who says it, just refuse directly. Don't worry about it."

After comforting the child, An Qingping went to find his mother and made it clear that he would not marry again.

After he finished speaking, he was greeted with his mother's earnest persuasion: "Third brother, you have so much time left in your life, how can you stay single? You will be so lonely when you are old!"

"If you're worried about the children, I'll go and persuade them. We'll also find someone with good character and a kind heart who won't abuse the children. This way, you'll have a companion when you're old."

"Otherwise, look at the old man Zhou from the brigade. What's the point of being affectionate? He got old and couldn't walk anymore. He didn't even have anyone to take care of him. He just starved to death at home."

An Qingping was at a loss for words and said, "Mom, I still have two children. It won't come to that in the future."

Can his situation be compared with Uncle Zhou's?

"I think it's pretty good now. I'll have a pension when I get really old. Besides, your grandchildren won't ignore you in the future, so don't think too much about it."

His words did not convince Zhang Guihua. She thought of a possibility and grabbed her son's hand and asked nervously:

"Third brother, tell me the truth, you are not still thinking about that woman Wu Xianglan, are you?"

His mother's thoughts made him helpless, and he could only say seriously: "That's not the case. We got married out of responsibility. In the end, since Wu Xianglan chose a wealthy life and abandoned her husband and children, I will no longer have any responsibility for her."

"That's good if you don't have one. That's not a good one. So why don't you want to marry her?"

"I feel my life is good now, stable and happy. My children are growing up and my salary can support them.

With Mom helping to look after them for a few years, when the children are grown up and no longer need our care, you two old folks can live with me in your old age, and I will just be responsible for taking care of you two old folks."

“If you want to remarry, the first thing is: no matter how good the character and personality of the person you marry into the family is, there will be friction.

The second point: The children are also resistant, and I don’t want a rift to arise between father and son [daughter].

Third point: I really don’t want to go through another marriage. I like my current life.”

Since her son was unwilling, and Zhang Guihua didn't want to be a bad person, she could only let the matter go for the time being. Although An Youliang did not agree with his son's idea, he did not force it. After all, he had the child to fall back on.

In the afternoon, An Qingping took his children to the mountain. Since his father did not remarry a stepmother, An Honglei became a son who loved his father again.

He did not bring anyone else into the mountains this time, mainly because he planned to go deeper and let his son exercise.

We hurried all the way to an area where no one had ever set foot.

As they walked, they explained the precautions to the two children: "In this remote place deep in the mountains, where no one has entered, you have to be careful not only of large beasts, but also of lizards, snakes, mosquitoes, and insects that have integrated into the natural environment..."

The three people's clothes were tied tightly to prevent poisonous insects from getting on their bodies.

“Even if you get lost in the forest, don’t panic. Stay calm and find your way.

There are several ways: the wide side of the stump is usually the south side, the dense side is the south, and the opposite side is the north.

You can also go to places with rocks and look at the moss on them. The side covered with moss is usually the north, because it is rarely exposed to sunlight so it grows more. The dry and smooth side is the south.

You can also check the growth of plants by selecting a single large tree. Generally, the side with dense branches and smooth bark is the south, while the side with sparse branches and rough bark is the north.
