Chapter 225 Daily Life at Home 4
An Xueyan nodded. Zhang Guihua got excited again and said, "Then I'll buy some next time and bring them back to see."
"Grandma, we only found gold that one time, and we haven't found any since then."
She still had to let her grandmother face reality. Now the scrap station was really a place to collect scrap. There would be no gold left. There might be antiques and calligraphy and paintings, but they would be burned as waste paper if placed in front of her grandmother.
"I'll go and have a look next time. If I don't find it, forget it." Zhang Guihua was tempted and wanted to try her luck. She was the kind of person who relied on luck.
Her eyes were fixed on Zhang Jin's bracelet. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. Seeing this, An Xueyan smeared some soap on it for her and helped her put it on.
An Xueyan gave a thumbs up and quickly praised: "Grandma, when you wear this, you look as impressive as the old lady of the landlord's family."
"My life now is not much different from that old lady of the landlord's family. Look at this big gold bracelet, the color is so beautiful." Zhang Guihua liked it so much that she didn't even take it off when she slept.
An Xueyan waited for her father to come back and then went back to their home. After washing up, she didn't rush to bed. She told her father honestly about what had happened in Beijing recently, including the black market, buying antiques, and getting unexpected wealth.
An Qingping's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He didn't know how to look serious in front of his daughter, so he could only ask with concern, "Are you okay? You're so brave. What would your father do if you were in danger?"
An Xueyan knew that her father was too worried about her and didn't want her to take any risks, so she could only act coquettishly and said, "I confirmed in advance that there would be no danger. You taught me personally, Dad. Don't you know my skills well? How could those people be my opponents?"
"We have enough money at home, so there's no need to take risks." An Qingping still wanted his daughter to be quiet and not do anything dangerous.
An Xueyan felt that it was not enough, so she told her father about her plans: "But I want to do drug research in the future, and I also want to have my own laboratory, which will cost a lot of money."
An Qingping suddenly felt a surge of pressure. How much did a private laboratory cost? Hundreds of thousands, or millions? Should he ask someone to figure out how many more years he'd have to work to fulfill his daughter's wish?
An Xueyan had no dreams that night, but her father An Qingping couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned on the kang, thinking about where to make money.
The next morning, Zhang Guihua was making breakfast with dark circles under her eyes. She woke up with a smile on her face in her dream. She happily rushed to the kitchen and saw the third brother's obvious eyes.
Startled, he asked, "Third brother, what happened to you last night? Didn't you sleep well?"
This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't I be able to sleep peacefully now that my daughter is back? Is she so happy that she can't sleep?
An Qingping said, "Mom, nothing happened. I just thought about something and went to bed a little late."
Then he started to make egg pancakes in silence, and Zhang Guihua began to nag: "You are so young, you must pay attention to rest, otherwise it will be dangerous for you to drive during the day. You have two children to support..."
She said ten sentences and An Qingping responded. Zhang Guihua was used to her son's personality. He was usually silent when nothing was going on, so he was a little talkative in front of his daughter.
Finally, Zhang Guihua whispered like a thief, "Yan Yan brought me a big gold bracelet this time. You should take it back and keep it. She's just a little kid and only knows how to spend money recklessly. You should secretly save it for her as a dowry."
She is still a kind grandmother who loves her granddaughter. Although she likes the big gold bracelet and is happy that her granddaughter thinks of her, this thing is too precious and she still wants to keep it for her granddaughter.
An Qingping, knowing his daughter's wealth, refused outright: "That's Yanyan's gift to you as a filial gift. Just keep it and wear it out when you have the chance."
But his mother didn't want to listen, so she slapped him twice and scolded him, "I think you are also a loser."
After a few scoldings, she began to persuade earnestly: "Mother knows that you and your daughter are both filial, but this dowry is the confidence of a girl in her husband's family in the future. You can't let Yan girl do what she wants. It is a hard truth to save more dowry for her."
"I've been saving them all. Don't worry, Mom. Just keep the things I gave you with Dad. They're all from Yanyan."
After that, he quickly took two cakes for himself and said, "It's getting late, Mom, I have to go to work."
He quickly rode away on his bike, because if he continued talking his mother would beat him again.
Seeing the third brother running away, Zhang Guihua laughed angrily. She kept the breakfast warm and went to the room to find the old man. She felt at ease only after discussing this matter with her husband.
An Youliang, who was dazzled by the golden glitter when he woke up early in the morning, listened to his wife's words and picked it up to look at it again and again. He didn't think the bracelet was beautiful, but he thought the gold was beautiful. He had silver in his life, but he had never touched gold. He had only seen rich people make it into jewelry and wear it on their bodies.
Finally, An Youliang took charge and said, “Since it’s a gift from Yan girl, you should keep it. You have suffered a lot in your life by following me and raising children. Now that our children and grandchildren are filial, we can enjoy our life.
We will give this bracelet to Yan when we are old, and we will tell our other sons and daughters-in-law about it when we have the chance."
After getting up and having breakfast, An Xueyan followed her grandmother to the county town, bringing three gifts from Beijing. She first went to the Public Security Bureau to find Father Xie.
This was Zhang Guihua's first time at the Public Security Bureau. Ordinary people are naturally afraid of this place, and she felt very reserved following An Xueyan. However, she still tried to remain calm and not embarrass herself.
"Hello, Grandpa Li. These are some cakes I brought back from Beijing. Please try them." He greeted the gatekeeper familiarly and handed a handful of snacks and candies he brought back through the window.
Grandpa Li, who was guarding the gate, said cheerfully, "Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have a conscience and never forget to bring things to this old man. Come to see Director Xie, you happened to be inside and didn't go out today."
"Okay, thank you Grandpa Li, this is my grandma, let's go in together."
Zhang Guihua smiled calmly and said, "Hello, Comrade Li. Our child has troubled you before."
"You're too polite, elder sister. Your children are all sensible." Grandpa Li praised.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, she went inside, gave the snacks and candies she had brought to the police officers inside and asked them to divide them among themselves, and then went to Xie's father's office with her grandmother.
Xie Hongjun poured water for them both, but Zhang Guihua was no longer as comfortable as she was when they were together in her hometown. The main reason was that Xie Hongjun's clothes were too majestic, which made her feel uncomfortable. If she hadn't had her rationality, she would have wanted to stay away.
