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

Around eight o'clock in the evening, the three of them returned home, washed up, and lay down on the kang. The kang was always burning, so it was very warm.

Because An Qingping had to take care of the children, he didn't drink much and mainly stayed to chat with them.

After tidying up, he closed the door and went into the house. He took out a small wooden box from the closet, opened it, and took out a jade pendant from it. This was something he had found outside before and had originally given to Wu Xianglan for safekeeping. When she returned, the thing was left at home.

Sometimes he felt lucky that she was deceived and only took 200 or yuan in cash with her. The passbook and other things at home were not taken away. Otherwise, he would really be penniless.

He took the jade pendant in his hand and put the box back into the secret compartment of the wardrobe.

Pull the girl out from under the quilt.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

An Xueyan was confused when she was forced to leave her comfortable bed.

An Honglei also looked at his father in confusion.

An Qingping strung the jade with a red string and hung it around his daughter's neck.

"This will keep you healthy, Yanyan, but don't let others see it."

"Shi Tou, you have to keep an eye on your sister. Don't let outsiders find out that she has this thing on her body. This can protect her safety and health." An Qingping warned his son seriously.

"I understand, Dad. I will take good care of my sister." An Honglei believed in his father's words without a doubt.

An Qingping knew that this was not credible and that wearing it was risky, but he didn't want his daughter to be in danger again. Even if it was feudal superstition, he was willing to believe it. Moreover, this was in the village, where the atmosphere was relatively not so strict.

This jade pendant is carved with a bamboo pattern. Bamboo represents good fortune, longevity, and happiness. It is a tenacious plant that grows rapidly and is resilient, resistant to extreme cold and heat. Wearing a bamboo jade pendant symbolizes wealth and longevity, among other traditional cultural values.

At this moment, this is a father's strongest expectation for his daughter.

"Thank you, Dad. I will keep it well and won't tell anyone when I go out." An Xueyan understood the meaning of the pattern on the jade when she saw it. She was still very moved and gave her father a big hug.

Lying in bed at night, she felt warm and comfortable both physically and mentally. At this moment, she truly felt that this life was not bad, and her heart was filled with contentment, which she had never experienced before.

In her previous life, her parents only transferred money to her card. Out of 365 days a year, she spent the most time with the nanny and driver at home, and she probably saw her parents no more than 10 days a year.

They are all workaholics. Giving birth to her seems to have fulfilled their obligation to have a successor, and the rest of the time they just seize the time to make money.

The most common topic of communication between the couple was work. An Xueyan thought it was a miracle that neither of them had an affair or divorced. Anyway, she could not understand this attitude towards life that regarded work as life.

This is simply a robot with no emotions!

Maybe the two of them were too extreme, so the child they gave birth to was a double negative and his thoughts went in another direction. He wanted to lie down and enjoy life since he was young.

The next day, those who were going to work went to work, and those who were going to school went to school.

When An Xueyan woke up, she saw her grandmother sitting on the kang sewing shoe soles.

He sat up sleepily and called out in a soft, milky voice, "Grandma!"

"Yan girl has woken up, get up and eat."

An Xueyan picked up the clothes with her little hands, closed her eyes and started putting them on.

Zhang Guihua couldn't bear to see her getting dressed so slowly, so she took the clothes and put them on her quickly, and then gave her hot water to wash her face and brush her teeth.

An Xueyan finally woke up completely after the meal was served.

"Eat it while it's hot. If it gets cold, something bad might happen and your dad will worry again."

"Your dad works so hard driving to work every day, so you have to be obedient and stay with me. You can't run around anymore. Do you hear me?"

"OK."

What could An Xueyan say? She could only nod and agree obediently.

She is just a little kid now and has no say.

Seeing that she was well-behaved and sensible, Zhang Guihua gave her a sweet treat, and now the children like to go out and play.

"After we finish eating, I'll take you to visit my friends later."

Visiting?

This is possible. She would feel bored staying at home every day. She can go out and get some fresh air.

"Grandma, whose house are we going to?"

"Go to your Grandma Zhou's house. You can play with her grandson."

The Grandma Zhou her grandmother mentioned was an old sister with whom she was close friends. They would get together to work and chat whenever they had time.

Grandma Zhou’s surname is not Zhou or Li, but her husband’s surname is Zhou, so people in the village usually call her Grandma Zhou, Aunt Zhou, or Mrs. Zhou according to their generation.

Half an hour later, An Xueyan followed her grandmother to visit her neighbors. Grandma Zhou's house was a little closer to the beginning of the village, and their house was a little closer to the end of the village [that is, closer to the mountains]. It took about 10 minutes to walk there.

There are more than 100 households in Hulin Brigade, divided into 4 small teams, with a total of more than 2000 people.

The brigade is divided into three major surnames, with An ranking first, Li ranking second, Zhou ranking third, and a small number of other surnames.

"Mrs. Zhou, is your kang heated? If it's not, I don't want to stay here."

Zhang Guihua pushed open the door of Zhou's courtyard and walked in and started shouting loudly.

"If you don't want to stay, go back. You have so much to do every day." Mrs. Zhou came out and retorted angrily at the door.

"Hello, Grandma Zhou!"

An Xueyan called for help obediently.

"Yan girl is here too. Come inside and warm up. Your little face is frozen white."

As he said that, he pulled An Xueyan into the house, not forgetting to slander her grandmother.

"Your grandma just doesn't know how to take care of children. Look how cold she made you."

An Xueyan...her fair complexion is natural.

She still defended her grandmother and proved that one must protect one's family.

"Grandma Zhou, I'm not cold. Grandma has put a lot of clothes on me, so I'm very warm."

"I can't live in peace if you, an old woman, keep complaining every day, right?" Zhang Guihua slapped Mrs. Zhou on the back.

"I'm just telling the truth. You're so anxious because you're guilty."

"I don't want to bother with you, donkey egg, go play with your sister Yan."

Since they had known each other for decades, Zhang Guihua didn't care. She patted the child's butt on the kang and assigned him a task.

"Sister, let's play." Donkey Egg, who was just over 2 years old, came over obediently to pull An Xueyan.

I remember that we used to play together and have a lot of fun.

But now she has a child's body and an adult's soul, and she is not interested in those children's games at all!

What a mistake!

This means you have to move from one cage to another and be responsible for playing with your child.

Fortunately, the child didn’t have a runny nose and cleaned up quite well.

Grandma Zhou brought out a plate of fried corn and beans for the two children to eat. An Xueyan ate a few of the fried corn and found it sweet and crispy. Although a little hard, it was very satisfying to eat.

While eating snacks, he played the common traditional game "Galaha" with Ludan, a real kid.
