Chapter 151 Return to the City
At this moment, Zhang An looked at the time. In such a short time from coming out to now, more than two hours had passed unknowingly.
Zhang An felt like not long had passed, why was it gone in more than two hours?
"Let's go back. We haven't been out for a long time. I'll worry about my family later."
It's almost nine o'clock now. If we don't go back, I'm afraid my family will come out to look for them.
When Su Ying heard that it was already past nine o'clock, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yeah, let's go back."
Zhang An patted the big herring in the river and let it play by itself, and then the two of them went home from the river.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I happened to meet the third aunt who had gone out to visit and was planning to go home.
Aunt Zhang didn’t see clearly at first, but when she got closer, she realized that the person in front of her was her eldest nephew.
Then I saw Su Ying behind Zhang An. Aunt Zhang knew Su Ying.
And just when she was at the intersection, Su Ying quickly let go of Zhang An's hand when she saw someone.
Aunt Zhang saw this scene, and she roughly knew what was going on.
Thinking about what my sister-in-law had in mind before, it should have come true now.
"Anzi, Xiaoying, you have just come back from a stroll."
"We are going for a walk by the river, and the third aunt is visiting."
Being three The aunt didn't panic when she bumped into Zhang An. She smiled and said to the third aunt openly.
"Hello, third aunt." Su Ying also greeted Zhang An's third aunt shyly,
"Well, I'm going to come out for a walk too."
Perhaps she was a little embarrassed to see Su Ying next to her, so Zhang An's third aunt didn't say much.
"Okay, you go and do your work, I'm going home hahaha."
Although Aunt Zhang is gone, it's okay that she doesn't smile.
This smile made Su Ying walk shyly with her head buried.
The two returned home, and Su Ying became more relaxed because of meeting Aunt Zhang.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang An had a carefree smile on his face, while Su Ying was a little shy.
When several adults in the family saw this, especially Su Ying who was still wearing Zhang An's coat, everyone knew it well.
Wang Fang was naturally very happy when she saw this, with a kind aunt smile on her face.
Isn’t this what she has always wanted to see in her heart, and she just said yes.
But Wu Qiuping next to her had a different feeling. In the past, when the girl had no partner, she was always worried that her daughter would not find a partner.
But now that my daughter has confirmed with Zhang An, she seems to have lost something.
Su Shaowen, who was next to him, took a sip of tea, and then said to Zhang An:
"Xiao An, be nice to Yingying in the future."
"Uncle and aunt, please don't worry, I will definitely do it. Treat Teacher Su well."
When she mentioned this, Su Ying became a little jealous.
Just now outside, she told Zhang An not to call her Teacher Su, just call her by her name.
But Zhang An doesn't like to call her Teacher Su.
Hearing that Zhang An had promised themselves, Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping nodded with satisfaction.
And Wu Qiuping looked at her daughter's face, although her face was blushing, but she was also full of smiles.
And through today's conversation, they both also knew that Wang Fang and his wife also liked their daughter very much.
This is a happy outcome for everyone.
Finally, Wang Fang couldn't wait to take out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Su Ying.
She had prepared this this afternoon. She originally planned to give it to Su Ying when she left tomorrow.
But now Su Ying is half her daughter-in-law, so she couldn't wait until tomorrow, so she took it out and handed it to Su Ying now.
Su Ying looked at the red envelope handed over by Wang Fang, feeling a little at a loss as to whether she should accept it or not.
Looking at his parents anxiously, and watching his mother nodding towards him.
Finally, I thanked Wang Fang and accepted the red envelope.
Wang Fang tidied up two guest rooms upstairs in the evening. She was originally going to tidy up three rooms.
But Wu Qiuping said that sharing a room with her daughter at night would not be so troublesome.
In the village, the couple cannot sleep in the same room when relatives come to visit.
You have to sleep in two separate rooms. This is a sign of respect for the host's family.
Even if you are a married daughter and son-in-law.
Late at night, the fields outside were quiet.
Zhang An was thinking about what happened at night, even he himself had not thought about it.
Lying on the bed, there was still a silly smile on my face, and I fell asleep with a smile.
In the guest room, Su Ying, mother and son, were still whispering boudoir talk.
Wu Qiuping kept asking them what they said after they went out.
But how could Su Ying have the nerve to say it out loud and just say a few words to cover it up.
Wu Qiuping then taught her daughter some experiences of staying together.
It wasn't until late at night that the mother and daughter gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, when it was dawn, Wang Fang got up and started cleaning up.
He called Zhang An out of bed early.
As several big roosters crow at home, Su Ying's family of three also got up.
Wang Fang has already prepared breakfast at this time. What he is cooking today is not noodles, but rice noodles.
Catch up with Wang Fang and have goose soup cooked early in the morning. This is the local goose soup noodles.
Refreshing rice noodles, paired with golden old goose soup, perfect for breakfast.
After breakfast, Wu Qiuping said goodbye to Wang Fang, and they were preparing to return to the city.
Originally, I thought of just taking the shuttle bus, but Wang Fang said that it would be more convenient for Zhang An to take them back.
And Wang Fang has already prepared some things at home, such as smoked bacon and blood tofu, bacon rabbit and chicken.
There are also a lot of live chickens and rabbits. Everything at home is prepared.
This shocked Wu Qiuping. She originally thought it was just a little bit, but she could still feel at ease.
But with so many things, you can't just take them away if they are given to you.
But how could Wang Fang let Wu Qiuping shirk it? She said it was for Su Ying and kept loading it into the car.
This car is Chen Ze's sedan, and the trunk is only a little bigger.
So it couldn’t be installed after half of it was loaded. Wang Fang was still thinking of loading it into the carriage.
In the end, Wu Qiuping and Su Ying went into battle to persuade, and Wang Fang finally stopped.
I think it’s not a one-time business anyway, so I’ll take my time in the future.
Before leaving, Zhang An returned home and packed some tea that Su’s father had longed for and a jar of about five kilograms of Gastrodia wine.
"Uncle and aunt, this is made from gastrodia elata. You can take it back and drink a little bit every day. It is very helpful for your body. I will send it to you when you run out."
< br>For Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen, they will definitely not refuse.
Since they learned last night, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were not in such good health before.
But after drinking some medicinal wine made by Zhang An every day, my body is much better than before.
Wang Fang, in particular, was in particularly poor health when she was young.
The root cause of the disease was revealed when Zhang An was born. Later, she didn’t want a second child, so Zhang An was the only child in the family.
Such a body is not bad, but now even the root cause of the disease has been eliminated.
The whole person looked much younger, so when Zhang An handed it over, they accepted it with a smile.
Then under the watchful eyes of Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo, Zhang An drove towards the entrance of the village.
Wang Fang has been very happy from yesterday to today, with a big smile on her face.
Everyone in the village said that Wang Fang was picking up money. Wang Fang responded to everyone with a smile. For her, this time she was happier than picking up a lot of money.
Not long after Zhang An drove away, Zhang An’s second aunt and third aunt made an appointment to come to the door together.
Last night, the third aunt realized that there was something going on between the eldest nephew and Su Ying.
After returning home, she communicated with her second sister-in-law.
So the two of them came here early today to confirm with their sister-in-law whether this was the case.
This is considered a top priority for their family. If it is confirmed, they can go back and prepare.
"Auntie, looking at the chirping magpie in your yard, is your daughter-in-law found?"
"This answer should be found, hahaha."< br>
Wang Fang had no intention of hiding the direct questions from the two sisters-in-law, and said to them with a smile.
"It must be that Xiaoying. When I came out of Zhang Jinwen's house last night, I met them both coming back from the river."
Looking at Wang Fang smiling and nodding, Zhang The second aunt was also very happy.
They have all seen the girl named Xiaoying.
She is tall and slim, has a gentle temper, and is a college student. She is a good candidate for a daughter-in-law in the village.
"Then we have to go back and start preparing to play the quilt. This time we have to have a big trampoline."
This is the custom and tradition in the village. When the nephew gets married, the uncle's and aunt's house It's about playing the quilt.
"Don't worry about this. As uncles and aunts, you two will never escape in this life, and you have to play well."
The third sister-in-law said in the yard. He was laughing and joking, so happy.
It was eight o'clock in the morning when Zhang An drove out, and it was already past ten o'clock when he arrived downstairs at Su Ying's house.
Su Ying's community is the family compound of Su Ying's father's work unit, and the environment inside is not bad.
Flowers, plants and trees are planted everywhere, and many elderly men can be seen walking birds in the pavilion below.
This is the gap. City people start taking bird walks in the morning when they are in their sixties.
The elderly in the village still have to carry baskets and hoes to work in the fields when they are sixty years old.
Some of the people next to him were Su Shaowen's colleagues or acquaintances.
When they saw Su Shaowen and his family getting off the car, they all came over to say hello.
When the people around him dispersed, Wu Qiuping started to move things upstairs.
She is not stupid. There were so many people just now, so she would have taken out her things.
If each family gives a little, there will be nothing left in the end.
Although Wang Fang brought a lot of things, he couldn't bear the number of people in the courtyard.
Not to mention the distance, Su Ying’s building alone is basically full of people they know well.
The courtyard here is not like the community houses of later generations. Everyone does not know each other, and there is not so much human contact and sophistication that requires moving around.
"Xiao An, you play with Xiao Ying first, I will make lunch right away."
Zhang An originally planned to sit for a while and go to Chen Ze's place to exchange the car. .
After all, this is not my car. If I get stopped by the traffic police one day, it will be a waste of trouble.
But as soon as he sat down, Wu Qiuping left him for lunch.
If you insist on leaving at this time, you will not give face to your future mother-in-law.
It will be a shame to wait until the future.
“Okay aunt, let me help you.”
Although Zhang Anshi doesn’t cook often at home, he has been trained by Wang Fang since he was a child.
He is a high-quality man who is good in the hall and in the kitchen.
Wu Qiuping repeatedly said no, although she recognized Zhang An in her heart.
But I’m not very familiar with it yet.
But he couldn't resist Zhang An's initiative and began to help in the kitchen with the local chickens and live fish brought from home.
Zhang An's performance made the couple even more satisfied.
Finally, I looked at my daughter who was sitting and watching blankly, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yingying, go find an apron to tie on Xiao An."
When Su Ying heard that she was called by her old mother, she found an apron in the house and tied it on Zhang An. .
While cooking, Zhang An chatted with Wu Qiuping.
I knew that Su Ying's sister and brother-in-law would come over to pay New Year's greetings later, so I rushed back in such a hurry today.
At eleven o'clock, Su Ying's sister and brother-in-law had already arrived.
"Why are you two, Xiaoxuan? Why didn't you bring Shao Yu here with you?"
Seeing that the only people entering the house were her eldest daughter and son-in-law, Wu Qiuping did not see her eldest daughter. The grandson looked like he was raising an army to investigate.
"Mom, there are too many people on the train these two days. It's crowded. I'll wait for him to come with his grandparents in a few days."
Seeing my mother like this, if I don't explain clearly, I will suffer a lot later.
At this time, Wu Qiuping introduced Su Xuan and Chen Cheng, Su Ying's eldest sisters, to Zhang An.
Zhang An also followed Su Ying and called her eldest sister and brother-in-law.
When Su Xuan came back, she discovered that there was a man at home.
And he and his mother were busy working in the kitchen, making her very happy.
After asking her father, Su Xuan found out that Zhang An was her sister's friend.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised, when did her sister, who was such a boring girl, finally start to wake up.
Then he pulled Su Ying into the room and said something unknown.
As soon as Chen Cheng heard Zhang An's name, he became familiar with him.
Because Chen Ze and Chen Ning often talked about Zhang An, and because he was related to their old man, Chen Cheng wrote it down.
But I didn't expect that this second brother's friend might become my brother-in-law.
With Zhang An’s help, Wu Qiuping quickly prepared lunch.
The family had a lively lunch, and Su Shaowen and his wife were much happier than usual.
This is the first time that so many people in their family have sat together to eat, but one grandson is missing.
During the dinner, Chen Cheng drank some wine with Su Shaowen. Zhang An didn't drink because he had to drive back in the afternoon.
Even now, the punishment system for drunk driving is not perfect.
Zhang An’s habit of drinking and not driving was still recognized by Su Shaowen.
After dinner, Zhang An sat for a while and then asked Su Ying's parents about going back.
Thinking that Zhang An's family might still have something to do, Su Shaowen and his wife didn't stay long.
This is not very close to Zhang An’s family, but compared with his eldest daughter’s family who is far away in the provincial capital, it is already at the doorstep.
Moreover, Zhang An has a car, so it is convenient to come and go.
So Wu Qiuping told Zhang An to come often when he was free.
Before leaving, Zhang An was asked to bring a box of Maotai and cigarettes, which were issued by Su Shaowen's work unit.
Even though he knew that Zhang An’s father had quit smoking, he still asked Zhang An to take him with him.
You can also use it if something happens at home.
When Zhang An finally left, there was a family with his eldest daughter.
So Wu Qiuping asked Su Ying to see Zhang An off, so the two young men might as well stay a little longer.
The two have just confirmed their relationship, but they haven't reached the point of being passionately in love yet.
And even if they are friends among young people now, they are not as bold as later generations.
Su Ying and Zhang An stayed alone in the car for a long time before getting out of the car and letting Zhang An start the car.
But this time, I gave a few more warnings to Zhang An to pay attention to safety on the road.
