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

"Could it be that my mother likes you, Yanyan, because you are pretty?"

"He must have suddenly discovered my charming temperament." An Xueyan looked confident when she heard it.

"Cough... cough..." An Dongmei was drinking water.

"Cousin Dongmei, you are such a grown-up, why are you so careless when drinking water?

Drink water slowly, don't be in a hurry." An Xueyan went over and patted her cousin on the back, giving her a condescending lecture.

A blush appeared on the pale little face. "Cough... cough..., don't talk for now, let me calm down." She couldn't help but feel afraid of hearing something else.

He took another sip of water before he came to his senses. He held his cousin's little face and looked at it from left to right.

Well, she is really pretty, with a fair and tender face. Just looking at her makes me want to take a bite.

"Cousin Dongmei, what are you looking at? Have you finally realized how stunningly beautiful I am?"

An Dongmei started to pinch it directly.

"Yes, I never noticed that my lovely cousin is becoming more and more beautiful." He became more and more shameless.

"Cousin, you have good taste!" An Xueyan said proudly.

An Qiuxiang burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Yanyan, you really are..."

Yunyun behind didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop her from laughing too.

An Xueyan saw the two people laughing non-stop. If the younger one can’t be touched, then the older one can be touched too.

He went straight over and gave cousin Qiuxiang a head-on blow, then put his hands on her itchy spots and made her laugh to her heart's content.

Little Yunyun also joined in, and the three of them started to make a mess again.

An Xueyan had completely forgotten the issues she was concerned about at the beginning.

Looking at her three carefree cousins, An Dongmei's face showed a hint of envy and a hint of sadness.

In the kitchen, Zhao Shufen said with a smile: "Yan Yan and the others are in the old house, and your place is usually much more lively."

Zhang Guihua complained, "The noise every day is giving me a headache."

She has a lot of demands, is very spoiled and picky, and is difficult to please. I won’t tell these to my daughter-in-law.

"All children are like this. When you grow up, you will think about how noisy you were when you were little. Alas, Dongmei is just too quiet." As he said this, his eyes dimmed as he thought of something.

Zhang Guihua said, "It's good for a girl to be quiet. The doctor said Dongmei is in good health and will be fine if she takes good care of herself.

Maybe it will get better. Look at Yan's condition now. It's not as serious as the doctor said. Luck can't be stopped. Let Dongmei take Yan out to play more often."

"Mom, what do you mean...?" Zhao Shufen leaned close to her mother-in-law and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Guihua said mysteriously, "Just let her come over. I won't harm her anyway."

I gave my eldest daughter-in-law a look that said, "You understand."

Zhao Shufen said happily, "Okay, I'll ask her to come over every day before school."

This winter, she usually doesn't let her daughter go out, for fear that she might not be able to withstand the cold and get into trouble. When the weather gets cold, she often takes leave from school to study at home.

Now after hearing her mother-in-law's arrangement, she began to think it through. She had not taken the previous casual remark about Yan being blessed too seriously, but now she didn't mind giving it a try.

Zhang Guihua was also upset when she saw her second daughter-in-law was silent: "Second daughter-in-law, has the wedding date of Pan Nan been decided yet?"

When asked by her mother-in-law, Wang Laidi smiled and replied, "It's been decided. We'll get married on May 5th next year. Her father said that Pannan won't be allowed to work in the fields for the next six months. She can just relax at home for six months."

Zhang Guihua nodded: "That's right."

Then he said to his granddaughter who was working quietly beside him, "Pan Nan, you should be more aggressive in the future, otherwise others will bully you just because they think you are easy to bully."

An Pannan was still embarrassed when his life-long event was mentioned, and he whispered back, "I know, grandma."

"Second daughter-in-law, you should teach Pan'nan more often. He should learn your stingy nature of not willing to suffer any loss. I don't want to say that you should learn 3% of it. After all, you are too stingy." Zhang Guihua was ruthless when complaining about her second daughter-in-law.

Wang Lai sees the black line...

Zhang Xiu covered her mouth and laughed secretly at the door.

I saw the embarrassed expressions of the second son’s family and saw that his granddaughter-in-law was also there.

Zhang Guihua explained: "Well, it's not that you're a bad person. You're very frugal and manage your household well. It's just that you're so stingy that you become skinny and bony that it's not good..."

Zhao Shufen thought of something else and asked with concern, "Second sister-in-law, are you short on money lately? Is there enough food at home?"

Wang Laidi pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, I've been feeling unwell recently and haven't been able to eat, so I've lost weight. I'll be fine after a while."

"I'll have a good talk with Pan Nan. A girl from our An family represents the An family when she goes out. If you dare to bully her, you'll just scratch her face. Mom, don't you think I'm right?"

"Yes, your father in our family said not to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either.

Back then, I was able to fool the Japanese. Let me tell you…” He started boasting about his great achievements back then.

The two daughters-in-law who had experienced that era joined in the fun, and the atmosphere in the kitchen was very harmonious.

Just as the woman was busy at home, the voice of her uncle An Qingguo came from the brigade's loudspeaker.

"Attention all members of the Hulin Brigade. Today, on this festive day of the Little New Year, we have good news to announce. An article about the happy lives of our Hulin Brigade members has been published in the provincial newspaper..."

Then An Qingguo read the content of the article in an excited voice, his tone full of pride.

Finally, he said that the newspaper should be placed on the brigade’s bulletin board for everyone to read.

Around five o'clock, the other family members came back one after another.

The fifth brother An Qinghe and his family, as well as An Youliang and his father, also came back, and An Qingguo also strolled over with a happy look on his face.

He still had the newspaper in his hand, and everyone in the family came over to read it.

"Isn't this a photo of Yan girl?" said the second uncle An Qingshun.

An Qingguo smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's the girl. I guess they took the photo because she's pretty. Look how happy she is having fun, haha!"

The whole family discussed it with pride, and everyone was in an excited state.

It is a very honorable thing that your own child is in the newspaper.

When An Xueyan saw the person in the newspaper who was laughing so hard that an egg could be stuffed in his mouth, she didn't want to admit that it was herself.

It was so embarrassing that it could have pierced through the floor.

In this lively atmosphere, when the meal was cooked in the evening, An Xueyan saw her grandmother put sugar, meat and fish on the stove, and then her grandfather brought a live rooster into the kitchen.

Then grandma came out and closed the door.

An Xueyan asked curiously, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

But her grandmother didn't give her an answer and directly sent her away: "Don't ask questions, little kid. Go back to the house. We will have dinner soon."

An Xueyan curled her lips and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. He must be worshipping some great god."

After a while, grandpa came out and served the cooked dishes, including frozen tofu stewed with fish soup, braised fish, sauerkraut pork stewed with vermicelli, stewed potatoes and goose in an iron pot, and scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts.

Once all the dishes were served, they filled up the two kang tables. Although there were only a few dishes, they were huge in quantity.

At times like this, An Xueyan was glad that there was no one in her family who ate in a sloppy manner. Even her second mother ate a little faster and would not rummage through the food in her bowl.

The family had a happy meal together. The next time they will eat together will probably be on Chinese New Year's Day.

After dinner, each family took some candy home to eat.

An Xueyan has tried it and found it to have a mixed aroma of sesame, peanuts, etc., and it is very sweet.

The next day, her grandmother and her sister-in-law started preparing food for the New Year.

Nuts such as melon seeds, peanuts, and pine nuts can be roasted to make frozen tofu, fried dough twists, fried sugar cakes, fried radish balls, and various foods such as rice cakes, sticky rice dumplings, steamed buns, dumplings, and steamed stuffed buns.

The fine grains and oil that An Qingping brought back have been almost used up, but there are still a lot of fried foods left.

He was busy until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and An Qingping also finished work and went on holiday on the 29th.

Go back to work on the fifth day.

An Qinghe's family also came back with him. With the return of my fifth uncle's family, the old house became even more lively.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family eats together again.
