Chapter 223 Daily Life at Home 2
Liao Yanlun directly pointed out: "I think you seem to have gained weight, I don't see how you miss an old man like me."
An Xueyan wasn't embarrassed at all and continued to smile and say, "Whenever I think of you, I can't help but have a good meal to ease my longing. That's why I've gained weight, but it's not just weight gain, it's proof that I miss you."
Liao Yanlun immediately pinched her little face and said with a smile: "Then I have to see how thick and heavy the flesh is."
"Uncle Liao, we also brought some things for you. Where do you think we should put them?" An Qingping asked.
His daughter's little face turned red when he pinched it again, and he couldn't bear to touch it, so he rushed to rescue her.
As expected, Liao Yanlun loosened his grip upon hearing this: "What is that?"
An Qingping took the package and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat some fruit and rice last time? I brought them back for you this time. Yanyan also bought you a gift."
The fruits and rice were taken out from the space by An Xueyan when she came back, otherwise he could only buy fruits on the market.
This time, An Xueyan brought a very stylish gray wool coat, which suits Liao Yanlun's temperament very well.
"This dress is nice. It makes him look like Mr. Liao again when he wears it." Old Mr. Feng praised.
"Not bad, Yanyan is thoughtful." Liao Yanlun was also very satisfied.
In addition to clothes, An Xueyan also brought him red wine and coffee, all of which were of good quality. As a young master who likes a refined life, Liao Yanlun enjoyed it very much.
After everything was cleaned up here, the father and daughter went home. An Xueyan still had to go see her uncle, Doctor Huang.
The An family members who were working outside were surrounded and questioned as soon as they arrived at their work place.
A middle-aged woman asked, "Aunt Guihua, your granddaughter Yan is back. I heard she bought a lot of things for you. Is that true?"
When someone came up to her, Zhang Guihua seized the opportunity to babble, "It's just that the kids don't know how to save, and they've spent all the pocket money they saved over the years.
I bought new clothes for my old man and me. You know what, the clothes in the capital are different. They make us look more energetic when we wear them.
If I didn't have to go to work today, I would have worn it out to show you.
I told you there are places like Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall in the capital. I saw the photos and they were so red-tailed..."
As soon as An Youliang went to work, he turned on the radio. It was amazing that he could carry the radio with him and listen to it while working, which made the other old men who worked with him envious.
"Is this little thing of yours also a radio? Are there still such small things nowadays?"
An Youliang smiled and said, "I heard my granddaughter say this is a pocket radio. She's so filial. She said it would be convenient for me to come out and listen to it with my old friends, and we could even discuss national policies."
His words made the people around him feel better. From now on, if they get closer to Old Man An, they can listen to the radio every day without having to spend money to buy it.
"Your daughter Yan is a filial child. It would be even better if the child was a boy." This person is a bit patriarchal.
An Youliang disagreed, "Now the country says that men and women are equal. It's not bad for a girl to be successful. We don't favor boys over girls in our family."
Someone who was usually on good terms with him teased him, "Your family favors girls over boys, right?"
An Youliang said, "Girls only have a relaxing time at home for a dozen years. Once they get married, they have to respect their parents-in-law, take care of their husband and children, and work in the fields. So, you have to treat your daughter well while you're at home. Besides, a well-behaved daughter is more filial than a son."
He had the confidence to say this. Among all the married girls in the entire brigade, whose family lived a good and filial life as well as his Hongyu? Some daughters were very filial to their parents, but that was unlimited help. What benefits could his own family get from such help?
However, his ideas are not understood by most people nowadays, and he cannot change anything given the current environment.
While listening to the radio, someone asked, "I heard that your grandson Shitou joined the army. Is that true? This is really sudden."
He was proud of his grandson An Youliang, but he was still humble: "He was lucky. When he went to Beijing, people noticed his abilities, so he went there."
This is also because he doesn't want to cause trouble for his grandsons. There are two grandsons in the army at home. They have to guard the rear in their hometown and can't be too ostentatious.
"You are so lucky. Your son is capable, and several of your daughters and grandchildren are in college. The younger ones also seem to be filial."
Someone questioned, "If your daughter Yan doesn't go to school, will she still be able to get into university?"
"My third child is in charge of her studies, so I don't really understand. But I heard that the principal of their school personally gave her the holiday after giving her an exam, so I think she's going to be fine."
Changing the subject, he said, "My granddaughter said that when she goes to college, she will take us to the capital and show us places like Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall.
I told you she took a lot of photos this time, and they are completely different from what you see in the newspapers. The clarity is just like what I see with my new eyes..."
The An family members who work in other areas are also bragging about what they have seen and heard, which has greatly enriched the lives of the villagers in Hulin Brigade today.
At the same time, it also aroused the jealousy in some people's hearts. Li Hongxing's mother usually did not go to work, and some women who disliked the An family came to her and gossiped about her.
"Mother Hongxing, the little girl from the An family has returned from Beijing. Did she bring any gifts to your family?
You are relatives, and your daughter-in-law is the little girl's cousin. This is a real relationship, and you can't look down on your relative."
Aunt Li thought for a while before she realized what he was talking about. It should be the daughter of the third son of the An family who came back.
However, her daughter-in-law had a bad relationship with her family. She didn't want to be laughed at by the visitor, so she said with a stern face: "What does this have to do with you? It's not your fault if there is anything wrong. Don't try to sow discord in front of me."
This person wouldn't admit to any ill intentions and said directly in a bad mood, "That's not my intention. I just wanted to tell you because you didn't know. You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. You're so difficult to get along with. No wonder you and Wang Laikan can't get along."
After turning the tables, he left the Li family yard and spat on the wall before leaving.
Aunt Li was so angry that she sat in the yard with her face turning pale and blue. When An Qiuxia came back halfway to go to the toilet, she saw her mother-in-law who was thinking something. She didn't bother her and didn't want to talk to her. Before she got married, she thought her mother-in-law was good, but after living with her for a long time, she felt annoyed.
When Aunt Li saw her daughter-in-law coming back, she said calmly, "I heard your cousin is back from Beijing. Do you want to take some things back to her parents' home? It's not good for this woman to have a bad relationship with her family."
