Chapter 43: Return

On the morning of the second day of the return trip, the couple and Xu Weiping took a tricycle directly to the station, then got on a bus and drove for an hour and a half to Nancheng.

The three of them got off the bus at the bus station. Xu Weiping walked in front and led the young couple to the market.

Making plans while walking,

“An’an, I’ll buy the meat and vegetables to be braised as early as possible. There’s no rush for the spices.”

Meat is the most important thing. These are still scarce now. If you go late, you can only pick out what others have left. , the earlier, the fresher it will be.

Xu An and Zhou Yu followed him and said with a smile.

“Brother, if you open a store, you can cooperate with the stall owner and ask him to deliver fresh ingredients directly to the store. This is how our store operates now, and it will be much more convenient.”

“Okay, listen to you . Yes.” Xu Weiping responded with a smile.

He led the couple to the market to buy the ingredients for braised pork. Seeing An An’s choice of pigs going into the water, Xu Weiping hesitated a little. He wanted to say something but still believed his sister, so he didn’t say anything.

After buying the meat, he went to the spice shop to buy spices. Xu An followed him and gave him some advice from time to time. He bought everything, just a little more.

“Brother, go and order a big pot now. You guys can pick it up in a few days. I’ll try it with the pot at home today when I go back.”

Xu Weiping didn’t respond to what his sister said, so he went to the store and ordered another pot.

After coming out of the store, Xu Weiping looked back at the young couple behind him, grinned and let them play by themselves.

“An’an, we’ve almost finished shopping. My brother-in-law hasn’t visited our Nancheng yet. You take him to go shopping. When the shuttle bus arrives at noon, we’ll meet at the bus station together.”

Xu An turned to look at the man next to him and raised his eyes. He responded.

“Well, brother, then I’ll take Zhou Yun around for a while, and I’ll meet you at the station later.”

Xu Weiping agreed with a smile. After seeing his sister leaving with her brother-in-law, he took his things and left first.

Xu An took Zhou Yu around the mall until he saw a watch store in the mall. His eyes lit up and he pulled Zhou Yu over.

She picked through the cupboard, spotted a men’s watch, and asked the clerk to help her take it off.

The appearance is grand, and the wristband does not look formal like metal, but it suits Zhou Yu better. Xu An took it in his hand, took Zhou Yu’s hand over to compare, and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Yu.

“How’s it going?”

The man looked at the watch and stared at Xu An leisurely. “What’s wrong with holding it back?”

Xu An took the watch back, rolled his eyes at the man, and prepared to return the watch. clerk.

“Aren’t you uncomfortable that I give too many things to others? So I originally planned to buy you a gift. If you don’t like it, forget it.”

Xu An handed over the watch, but Zhou Yu intercepted it halfway.

Taking the watch back into his hand, Zhou Yu made gestures on his wrist carelessly before nodding indifferently.

“That’s it, I’m too lazy to choose.”

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Xu An to say anything, and brought it to himself. He raised his chin at Xu An and motioned for her to pay. Xu An smiled secretly, but Without saying anything, he went back to negotiate the price with the clerk. With his previous experience of shopping with Zhou Yu on the street, Xu An was somewhat successful. After negotiating the price, he paid the money.

Xu An was carrying an empty bag, and the newly purchased watch had already been passed through the market by Zhou Yu with a dazzling look.

Next, they bought some more things for Zhou Yu one after another, and the couple left the mall at about the same time. Xu An was just about to take Zhou Yu back to the station when he was pulled over by the man, and then he was led into the mall not far away. of a used bookstore.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yu held his hands and looked at Xu An, grinning, there was no smile on his face, and his tone was a bit harsh.

“Don’t you like old books?”

This guy… is really a kid. Xu An shook his head gently, looked around the bookstore, and said loudly.

“Buy it for me?”

Zhou Yu raised his chin lightly and said, “Go and choose.”

This man wanted to buy a book for himself, and Xu An would not respond. He walked into the bookstore seriously and started choosing carefully.

Zhou Yu walked leisurely behind her with his hands in his arms, glancing at the woman’s plain face, looking slightly entranced.

Xu An picked a famous book and handed it to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and saw that it had nothing to do with the vulgar book given by the pretty boy. He raised his eyebrows slightly and went to pay for it neatly.

The couple left the bookstore and got on the tricycle bus station together. As soon as they arrived, they saw Xu Weiping already sitting on the bus and waved to them to hurry over.

As soon as the two got on the bus, they found that there were only two empty seats left in the bus, and Xu Weiping greeted them with a smile.

“Master, we’re here.”

Then he asked his sister and brother-in-law to sit down, “An’an, I’ve reserved two seats for you and my brother-in-law. Sit down and we’ll set off immediately.”

Xu An smiled and nodded, “Yes.”

“You guys Just carry these two small bags.”

Xu Weiping’s things have been placed in the luggage compartment of the bus.

Xu An nodded, glanced at the thing in Zhou Yu’s hand, and responded.

Not long after they got on the bus, the bus began to drive out slowly. Xu An was sitting by the window, with Zhou Yu next to her. She tilted her head and stared at the scenery outside the window, yawning lightly.

I woke up early this morning, and now the sun is shining on my face, making me feel a little sleepy.

Xu An tilted her head and glanced at the person next to her. When she met the man’s gaze, she raised the corners of her lips. Under Zhou Yu’s gaze, she tilted her head and leaned directly on the shoulder of the person next to her, closing her eyes. .

“I’ll stay close for a while. Call me when you get there.”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Zhou Yu’s shoulders were a little numb. He turned to the side and saw the woman’s porcelain-white profile. Her dark eyes were slightly dark. He moved his knuckles. He just frowned and adjusted the height of his shoulders. He casually closed the car’s curtain and let the woman Sleep against him.

Xu An’s sleep was not stable during the bumpy journey, and she only swayed back and forth between half asleep and half awake. Until the bus stopped, Xu An’s cheeks were suddenly pinched by a pair of rough hands, and she frowned and opened her eyes.

Zhou Yu had already retracted his hand and raised his chin towards her,

“We’re here.”

“Saliva.”

Xu An’s sleepiness was dissipated by Zhou Yu’s words. He swallowed subconsciously and raised his hand to touch his lips. They were dry. Looking at the grin on the man’s lips, Xu An took a deep breath and glared at Zhou Yu fiercely.

Then he angrily followed the man and got out of the car.

Xu Weiping had already packed his things and was waiting for the couple to get off the car. Zhou Yu took some of the luggage from him, and the three of them went to the three-way intersection and got on a tricycle to go home.

After a bumpy ride back to the village, the family got out of the car carrying large and small bags and walked all the way home. As they passed by, many people stared curiously at what the three people were holding.

If you have anything good to say, ask Xu Weiping directly.

“Weiping, why don’t you go shopping with your sister and brother-in-law?”

Xu Weiping frowned and said casually.

“It’s just some worthless pigs in the water, it’s nothing.”

Who would believe what he said, pigs in the water can’t take up so much space.

However, Xu Weiping didn’t want to answer and just dealt with the matter. As he talked, he led Xu An and Zhou Yu home.

Leave the questioner behind.

“Tsk, this girl is really promising. Now she is married to a city man and her life is getting better. This girl just graduated from junior high school.”

After saying that, she looked at Gao Cuilan aside, “Cuilan, An Yatou graduated from junior high school. You can go to the capital to find someone with such good conditions to marry. You have graduated from high school and haven’t found a partner yet.”

Gao Cuilan stared at the backs of Xu An and Zhou Yu, holding her breath, “My brother said that the capital is full of people like this. It’s all in the streets, and I’ve never been to the capital.”

“No, Cuilan doesn’t look down on people from this village, at least people from Nancheng City can do it.”

Listening to these people talking, Gao Cuilan opened her mouth and wanted to come forward. , she thought so herself.

Her brother is a college student, and she is also a high school student. The people in the village are not good enough for her, and the same goes for the people in the neighboring village. She used to want to find a job in Nancheng and marry an urbanite from Nancheng.

But now…

Xu An, an old girl whom no one wants, has just been in the capital for just half a year, and she looks like a different person. Her face is like a shelled egg. The capital is really nurturing.

Xu An can find a man with such good conditions to marry, so why can’t she.

The three of them finally returned home. The first thing Xu An did was to sit on a chair and rest. After a while, Zhou Yu poured her a glass of water. Xu An took a big sip and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Xu Weiping didn’t seem to know how to rest. He started working on those things as soon as he came back. He asked about Xu An’s situation from time to time, and he was very positive.

The Xu family was a little confused when they saw the pigs bought by the brother and sister going into the water.

“An An, do you like this food? Why don’t you buy two more pounds of meat.” Xu’s mother frowned slightly, fearing that her daughter was saving money for them.

Before Xu An could speak, Xu Weiping spoke.

“Mom, these are all ingredients that need to be marinated.”

Xu’s mother stared at the pig in surprise, “Is An An selling these over there?”

Is anyone buying this?

Xu An knew his family’s concerns and said loudly,

“Mom, don’t worry, you can try it when it’s ready.”

Although Xu’s mother was a little worried, she listened to her daughter and didn’t ask any more questions.

Zhou Yu sat next to Xu An. The couple didn’t worry at all and closed their eyes to rest. Xu An asked his brother to carefully clean the ingredients from time to time.

The sunshine gradually softened until the sun set in the west, and the sunset glow shone in the Zhou family courtyard.

Xu An rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and headed to the kitchen.

Zhou Yu strode his legs and landed behind her. The couple washed their hands first.

When Xu An entered the kitchen, he took Xu’s mother’s place, took out the big pot at home, and started to cook the stewed meat soup.

Xu Weiping cleaned the big bones and chicken racks he bought.

Xu An spent more than two hours simmering the soup, then stared at his brother and asked her brother to prepare the marinade recipe in strict accordance with the proportions.

Xu Weiping didn’t dare to slack off and mixed everything in strict accordance with the proportions given in the formula. He wanted to use a small scale to mix everything in the same way. He felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. It was obviously night and there was indeed a thin layer of smear on his face. Sweat.

Until everything was mixed in strict accordance with the proportion, Xu An took the ingredients package and packed them up.

Start cooking the marinade.

After Xu An finished, he clapped his hands and went to the yard to enjoy the breeze leisurely. In the kitchen, the Xu family gathered around the stove, staring at the pot on the stove without blinking, guarding it for fear of happening. What an accident.

Xu An breathed a sigh of relief, “Mom, we have to cook it for a few hours first. The more it cooks, the more delicious it will be. It’s probably too late to finish it. You guys should rest first.” Xu

An looked at her daughter and shook her head, “Mom, just stay here. “Daughter, you take Zhou Yu to rest first, and mom and your brother will stay with you.”

He said warmly, looking at his daughter-in-law who was staying with him.

“Xiuxiu, please stop watching and go and rest first.”

Li Xiu knew that her mother-in-law was doing it for her own good, but she still shook her head, “Mom, just let me watch. Otherwise, if I go and rest, I won’t be at peace. Come down.”

She had to wait and see if An An’s thing was ready. This would be what their family would eat in the future.

Seeing her insistence, Xu’s mother nodded helplessly, “Okay, don’t hold on. If you’re tired, go to bed. Your body won’t be able to endure it.”

Li Xiu nodded gently.

As the prepared marinade is put into the pot, a gradually stronger aroma slowly oozes out of the pot and fills the entire yard.

Surprise gradually flashed in the Xu family’s eyes, and they became more and more motivated. Maybe this thing could really be sold.

As the increasingly strong aroma from the pot spread into the Xu family’s nostrils, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from time to time.

By the time the pot of braised pork was ready, it was already midnight.

Xu An walked into the kitchen, fished out a piece of pig meat that the whole family was hesitant about, and quickly cut it with a kitchen knife and put it into a bowl.

“Mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, you guys try this first and see if it can be sold.”

The thing that I disliked before now only smells fragrant, and people can’t help but salivate.

Seeing that his family members didn’t move, Xu An thought they were conflicted, so he took a piece first and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Yu beside him. The man leaned his head over in a good-natured manner, and Xu An fed him a piece.

The Xu family members no longer hesitated at this time, and stepped forward to taste it one after another, and then their eyes lit up with surprise.

Xu An knew it was a success as soon as he saw their expressions, and said with a smile.

“These brine will only become more fragrant as they are braised. This pot is still not good enough. When my brother becomes more proficient in it, the taste will be better.”

Xu’s mother originally thought that this was already very good, but her daughter said that it could be even better.

Xu An said with a smile,

“These are for the family to eat. Tomorrow, my eldest brother will go to the city to buy meat and vegetables and bring them back to stew them. The day after tomorrow, I will take them to the city to sell them. If everyone likes them, the store can be opened.”

“Girl, this is There is no need to leave it to the family, and we don’t have to wait for the day after tomorrow. Let your brother take it to the city to sell it tomorrow. “

Mother Xu is very excited now, and if she really wants them all to eat this big pot of food now. , but I was still a little reluctant to part with it. I really couldn’t bear to eat all the things that were sold for money.

“Leave two bowls for you to taste, and sell the rest.”

Xu Weiping was also a little interested. If the things really sell, he won’t have to travel far to find a way out, and he can still take care of his wife.

“Okay, Mom, let’s keep two bowls at home.”

“An’an, I’ll take them to the city tomorrow to sell them.”

Xu An nodded, “But I don’t have a small three-wheeler at home, so I’ll take these on this trip It’s definitely not easy to take everything to the city.”

Xu An frowned and said, “Brother, can you rent a tricycle from the village tomorrow morning and let him take it to the city and make another trip later?”

The village’s tricycles go to the county several times a day, because the village is only more than 20 minutes away from the county. You can earn less than one yuan a day, and most people walk there.

It’s a long way to the city, so if someone really wants to rent it, they won’t be reluctant to make the trip.

Xu Weiping frowned, a little reluctant to part with the money, but after smelling the aroma, he gritted his teeth and accepted.

“Okay, rent a car tomorrow morning.”

“An’an, I must have sold everything before I came back.”

Xu An nodded with a smile.

“Then let’s do it. It’s too late now. Get some rest quickly so you don’t wake up tomorrow.”

Xu An agreed this time. He went to wash up and then returned to the bedroom. Zhou Yu came back soon.

Xu An yawned, lying on the bed and turned to look at him,

“If the eldest brother can successfully sell all the things tomorrow, we should pack up and go back.”

“Otherwise Xiaoyang, Yao Wu and the others should be anxious.”

She followed Zhou Yu is not here, so I am afraid that there is no backbone and it is difficult to make decisions when something happens.

Zhou Yu turned on the lamp, walked to the bed and responded.

He turned over on the bed and lay next to Xu An. The man wanted to move closer to Xu An, but Xu An immediately raised his hand and pushed him.

“I don’t want to be worried again.”

“I want to sleep.”

She said and rubbed her side into the bed until she was completely attached to it, yawned lightly and closed her eyes.

Zhou Yu could only see the woman a few fists away from him through the faint moonlight. He frowned, leaned over and closed his eyes while holding his hands.

The next day, when Xu An woke up, Zhou Yu was no longer around. Xu An got out of bed, put on his slippers and went out, and saw Li Xiu in the yard.

Li Xiu saw her getting up and said with a smile, “Little sister, get up and go eat first.”

Xu An responded, washed her face and walked into the kitchen. She didn’t see her brother, Xu An said loudly.

“Sister-in-law, my brother went to the city?”

“He went before dawn. My brother-in-law was originally going to go with him to help. Your brother wanted to rely on himself, so he didn’t let him go with him. But my mother was really worried, so we went together.”

Xu Anjin When he saw Zhou Yu in the kitchen, he responded to the yard, took the porridge handed over by Zhou Yu, and whispered, “Mom went to the city with my brother?”

Zhou Yu nodded lightly, “Yeah. “

“Don’t worry, I rented a tricycle. That sound…”

Zhou Yu glanced at Xu An obediently drinking porridge, grinned and said harshly,

“The pig in the pig pen was shocked to wake up.”

Xu An glared at him . eyes, and kicked Zhou Yu’s calf.

“Eat your food.”

Don’t expect to hear anything nice from this man.

After Xu An finished eating, he carried the bench to the yard and sat down. The sun gradually became warmer. Xu An blinked, stood up from the bench suddenly, and walked into the house.

She searched in the bedroom and found the book Zhou Yu bought for her yesterday in the drawer. Xu An took out the book and was about to take it out of the house.

Suddenly I saw the name on the cover of the book and raised my eyebrows leisurely.

Staring at the sharp name on the cover, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Childish…

She raised her eyebrows, took a ballpoint pen from the pen holder, wrote her own name next to Zhou Yu’s name, then put away the pen, picked up the book with satisfaction and left the room.

Xu An sat on the bench with a book in his hand and opened the book leisurely, looking at it non-stop.

Zhou Yu stared at the book in the woman’s hand and was slightly startled. His eyebrows were raised, but without saying anything, he picked up a chair and sat down next to Xu An.

Li Xiu saw the couple sitting together reading a book, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

She has only graduated from the second grade of elementary school. Apart from being able to write her name and some simple Chinese characters, she cannot recognize many words. Her husband has also started to share the burden of the family early, and neither husband nor wife is much of a scholar.

However, I admire my younger sister and brother-in-law for being like this. They have read books and like to read.

Facing the increasingly strong sunlight, Xu An put away the book in his hand, put it on the chair and stood up.

“Sister-in-law, you must be hungry. Let’s eat the two bowls of braised pork at noon. Then we’ll cook in the afternoon and wait for my brother and the others to come back.”

Upon hearing that the younger sister wanted to cook, Li Xiu put down her sewing.

“An’an, I’ll do it, don’t be busy.”

Xu An waved her hand, “Sister-in-law, don’t be tired, just help me from Zhou Yu.”

She stopped her sister-in-law from entering the kitchen, tilted her head and glanced at the man holding the book. Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu.”

Zhou Yu looked away from the cover of the book, bumped into Xu An, and responded lazily.

Xu An frowned. Why did she feel that Zhou Yu seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhou Yu put the book back to its original position, rubbed the two names next to each other with his thumb, straightened up and walked to Xu An in two strides.

Xu An put aside his doubts, led this half-hearted helper into the house, and made lunch.

“Sister-in-law, Dad, it’s time to eat.” Xu An shouted.

Xu’s father came back from the field outside the yard with a hoe and responded neatly.

Li Xiu drank some cold water, and the family washed their hands and sat down to eat.

After lunch, there was nothing to do in the village, and Xu An’s father didn’t let them help, so Xu An went back to his home to take a nap.

In the evening, the sky was covered with red clouds and slowly darkened. The food had been warming on the stove for a long time, but Xu Weiping and Xu’s mother hadn’t come back yet.

Li Xiu couldn’t help but keep looking outside the yard, with a sad look on her face.

“An’an, do you think there will be any problems? Weiping and the others didn’t sell the goods, right?”

Xu An frowned, shook his head gently, and comforted her in a gentle voice, “Sister-in-law, it won’t happen.”

” You’ve tried it yourself, there will definitely be no problem.”

Hearing Xu An’s relief, Li Xiu felt less impatient, but still couldn’t help but worry.

Until the buzzing sound of tricycles outside the courtyard door gradually approached, Li Xiu couldn’t help but trot out.

“An’an, it should be your brother and the others who are back. I’ll pick him up.”

“Sister-in-law, be careful.”

Xu An quickly followed Li Xiu out, worried that her sister-in-law was still pregnant.

The couple followed behind and went out together. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Xu Weiping and Xu’s mother were full of joy. Xu Weiping was moving things down.

Xu’s mother gave the money to the master, and Zhou Yu went to help Xu Weiping. After a while, he moved all the things down and sent the master away. Li Xiucai couldn’t help but ask Xu Weiping.

“Wei Ping, how are you?” She sounded a little worried.

Xu Weiping never let go of the smile on his face. Hearing his wife ask this question, he answered with a smile.

“They’re all sold.”

“Mom and I haven’t dared to look at it ourselves outside. Xiuxiu, let’s go home first.”

Li Xiu nodded quickly, feeling reassured, “Yes, yes, it’s time to go home first.”

Xu Weiping and Zhou Yu moved things home, and he also bought ingredients and put them back in the kitchen.

Xu An said loudly, “Mom, brother, don’t rush to settle accounts now. You must be hungry after a long day of work. Let’s eat first.”

Xu Weiping looked a little excited. Now that he heard what his sister said, he felt very hungry, so he responded with a smile.

The family sat at the dinner table with joy on their faces and felt that their future life was full of hope.

After enduring the excitement after finishing the meal, Xu An and Zhou Yu cleaned up the dishes. Xu’s mother took out the cloth bag and placed it on the dining table. The family gathered around it. Xu’s mother opened the bag with a smile, revealing everything mixed inside. A piece of money.

With smiles on their faces, the whole family sorted out the money together and counted it again.

Xu Weiping divided the cost, and surprise flashed in his eyes, “An’an.”

“I made ten and thirty-five cents today.” The

money he earned in one day was more than what he earned by working hard and doing odd jobs. This is still a minority, and he will do it in the future. The more you earn, the more you earn.

Xu Weiping held the money and wanted to hand it to Xu An, but Xu An didn’t take it.

“Brother, the days are still long. We will have to open a store in the future, and there will be more places to spend money.”

Xu Weiping thought for a while and nodded, took the money back, stared at the money in his hand, and felt full of strength.

“Brother, I will work hard and I will not disappoint you and your brother-in-law.”

Xu An smiled and nodded. She felt relieved that the family had a new business.

After finishing the calculation, Xu Weiping handed the money to Xu’s mother for safekeeping, rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and continued working.

“If you sell more tomorrow than today, you will definitely make more money.”

Seeing his enthusiasm, Xu An didn’t stop him. It’s better to do something than nothing.

However, now that this path is feasible, Xu An turned to look at Zhou Yu beside him, and it was time for them to pack up and go back.

If she didn’t go back, the system would determine that she didn’t stay in the capital.

Xu Weiping did not let Xu An and Zhou Yu help and drove them to rest. Xu An and Zhou Yu returned to the bedroom.

Xu An sat on the chair and said softly, “Brother has started doing things now.”

She looked up at Zhou Yu and said softly, “Zhou Yu, when will we go back.”

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and stared at Xu An, saying in a deep voice He said, “Early the day after tomorrow.”

“Xu An, are you willing to leave?”

Xu An blinked and nodded lightly.

At least she didn’t do anything when she came back this time. At least the Xu family’s life had improved a little. Now that she’s leaving, she feels relieved.

“Leave the day after tomorrow, wait for everyone to come back tomorrow, tell them that we can’t stay too long, go back and open the new store as soon as possible.”

Zhou Yu stared at the woman in front of him, as if to see if she was reluctant, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, He responded.

“Then we’ll leave the day after tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

“Brother will come back tomorrow and explain to him clearly some of the issues that need to be paid attention to when opening a store, so as to prevent him from stepping into unnecessary pitfalls.”

Zhou Yu agreed.

After Xu An went to bed and lay down, he turned on the light and returned to bed.

As soon as he got on the bed, Zhou Yu turned sideways and stretched out his arms, pulling Xu An into his arms.

Xu An called softly, “Zhou Yu.”

“I’ll just give you a hug.”

Zhou Yu tightened his arms, just like he said, just hold her.

Xu An relaxed his body, buried his head in Zhou Yu’s arms, yawned, and closed his eyes.

“Xu An…”

Xu An wrapped his throat and responded in confusion.

Zhou Yu sighed heavily, hugging the person and closing his eyes.

On the second day, Xu Weiping and Xu’s mother also set off early, using the same rented tricycle.

Xu An got up and had breakfast, then took Zhou Yu out and walked around the village. From time to time, he would tell Zhou Yu about things in the village from the memory of the original owner, but he was smart enough not to mention the incident between the original owner and Gao Jincheng. Not happy anymore.

The villagers looked at the young couple wandering around, and some couldn’t help but come up to talk to them.

“Girl An, what has your brother been doing in the city these two days? He even rented a tricycle to go there.”

Xu An looked at the aunt in front of him with a calm expression,

“Aunt, isn’t this the most well-informed place in the village? My aunt from the Gao family, you have a good relationship, why don’t you ask her?”

This aunt was the woman who sang and arranged with Gao Jincheng’s mother on the day Xu An and Zhou Yu came back.

Hearing that Xu An didn’t show any respect or respect to please his elders, the woman looked a little embarrassed and said sarcastically.

“My aunt was deceived by her before, wasn’t she?”

“She, she doesn’t go out all the time now, she just hides at home.”

Ever since Xu An brought Zhou Yu back, the reputation of the Gao family has become bad. Gao Jincheng Mom doesn’t even dare to go out now, for fear of hearing someone tearing her apart.

“Auntie used to believe and listen too, and she was deceived by her.”

“It was her Gao family’s fault in the first place. Now everyone in our village knows it. Xu Yatou, you have a future now.”

Xu An couldn’t hold it back. He snickered at Zhou Yu beside him and raised his voice.

“Then don’t be fooled again in the future.”

“Xu Yatou, what have Weiping been doing these two days? Did you go to the city to make money?”

Xu An laughed and laughed.

“My sister-in-law is pregnant now. It’s too late to take care of my sister-in-law. I don’t have time to make any money. My brother has been blind and fooling around for the past two days.”

“Auntie, do you have any way to make money? You have to help my brother.”

“You are rich, why don’t you help your family and the people in the village? People in this village should look after each other.”

Xu An almost couldn’t help laughing. , it is impossible to take care of each other, but it is more realistic to cheat each other.

Seeing that the girl from the Xu family couldn’t find out any news, the aunt left reluctantly.

The couple walked around for a while and went back all the way when it was time to cook in the afternoon.

After the family finished eating, Xu An tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Yu beside him, saw him nodding, and then raised his voice to speak to his family.

“Zhou Yu and I plan to go back tomorrow.”

As soon as Xu An said this, the originally beaming family suddenly stopped smiling and looked at the couple in surprise.

Xu’s mother frowned and looked at Xu An reluctantly.

“Daughter, why are you so quick? I haven’t been at home for a few days.”

Xu An raised his hand and gently patted the back of Xu’s mother’s hand, explaining in a gentle voice.

“Mom, I’m worried about the store. Zhou Yu and I have opened another store. Jinghe University will start school soon.”

“We have to open the store before school starts. Zhou Yu’s business is also slow. Yes, we can’t drag it on any longer.”

The daughter’s words were reasonable and well-founded. Xu’s mother couldn’t find anything to say to leave the young couple alone. She just sighed and responded.

“Okay, Mom won’t stop you, just go back when you should.”

Xu An said softly, “Mom, when my brother opens a store in the city, you can go up to the city and it will be convenient for us to call back. No need to continue writing.”

Xu’s mother felt relieved and nodded, “My daughter is right.” Xu

Weiping said solemnly, “An’an, I will call you when I open the store in the city.”

He smiled and nodded, “Yeah.”

“If my sister-in-law gives birth, brother, you have to call me as soon as possible.”

“Zhou Yu and I will come back as soon as we can. If we can’t come back, we can’t leave it to my nephew. ” A red envelope as a gift.”

Li Xiu said with a gentle smile, “If I give birth, I will definitely ask your brother to call you immediately.”

Xu Weiping glanced at Zhou Yu beside Xu An and said in a deep voice, “Treat my sister well. “

The ugly thing is ahead. Your legs are better now, and you are indeed from the capital. I am afraid that many people will say that my sister is not worthy of you.”

“My sister is the best in my heart, and she is worthy. ” Everyone is enough. If you have the slightest idea, send my sister back.”

Zhou Yu’s face turned cold and his tone was cold.

“She is my wife.”

“If she doesn’t deserve it, it’s also because I don’t deserve it.”

After hearing his words, Xu Weiping’s face improved a little and he nodded silently.

Because Xu An was leaving the next day, the happy atmosphere of making money was gone.

Seeing that the expressions on the faces of the whole family were not very good, Xu An reached out and poked Zhou Yu next to him, signaling to him.

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and said seriously.

“Brother, we are leaving tomorrow. You will definitely need to explore on your own when opening a store. My wife and I have memorized some things. You can see if you can use them then.”

Zhou Yu stood up after saying this and took a small notebook from the house after a while. He came out and handed it to Xu Weiping.

Not only the Xu family, but also Xu An looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise. She didn’t know when this person prepared this thing.

Seeing Zhou Yu being so interested, Xu An’s eyes were full of smiles.

Xu Weiping opened what Zhou Yu had written, and the whole family gathered around to read it.

Zhou Yu’s voice was calm, “Brother, please refer to some of the things my wife used when she opened a shop.”

Zhou Yu remembered it very carefully, and Xu Weiping looked at it carefully before raising his eyes to look at himself, who originally seemed unreliable. Brother-in-law, he gave a free and easy smile.

“Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work.”

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and shook his head casually.

The Xu family read it carefully, and Xu’s mother looked at her daughter and son-in-law with a frown. The couple really tried their best to help the family, and they couldn’t hold back their daughter and son-in-law. They had to improve their conditions as soon as possible.

The family sat together to discuss, and it was not until late at night that Xu’s mother looked at the couple.

“We have to travel early tomorrow morning. An An, Zhou Yu, you guys should go to bed soon.”

Xu An was also a little sleepy. After hearing what her mother said, she didn’t refuse and nodded obediently.

She followed Zhou Yu back to the room. Xu An took out the money he had prepared from his bag, looked up at Zhou Yu, and said softly.

“This money should be enough to open a store.”

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the considerable amount of money in her hand, and responded lazily.

“It’s not that we want to build a villa in the city. It’s enough.”

“If it’s not enough, then send it back.”

Xu An also had the same idea and said softly, “How can I give this money?”

Although it was agreed upon half and half, they all paid out first, but Xu An was still afraid that if he gave it to them in person, they wouldn’t want it.

Zhou Yu raised his chin towards the bed in the bedroom.

“Your mother should be able to clean up the room when people leave.”

Xu An followed his gaze and nodded, “Yeah.” After

discussing where to put the money, Xu An settled down, took the money and put it away, and then went to bed. , looked back at Zhou Yu, and said softly,

“It’s time to sleep.”

Zhou Yu responded, turned off the light, walked to the bed in two steps, and turned over on the bed. The man skillfully held Xu An in his arms, lowered his head, and leaned against the bed. He rubbed Xu An’s forehead.

“Aren’t you sleepy?”

Xu An murmured softly, gently touching Zhou Yu with his head.

Zhou Yu wrapped his arms around the person’s plush head and pressed it into his arms, and responded in a mute voice, “Sleepy.”

Xu An put his hand on his chest and wrinkled his nose, “If you’re sleepy, then go to sleep.” . “

The heat in Zhou Yu’s chest surged, and his throat was beating, and his voice was hoarse, “Xu An.”

Xu An didn’t agree to him, and just buried herself in the man’s arms. She pursed her lips and said, Close your eyes gently.

Zhou Yu’s chin gently pressed against the head of the person in his arms, and the soft and warm fragrance filled his arms. He pressed the corners of his lips downwards, kissed the soft hair of the person in his arms, and said hoarsely.

“Xu An, wait until we get back…”

The two hearts were so close together that it was hard to distinguish whose heartbeat was coming from. Xu An just felt that the noise was making her unable to sleep, so she responded in a muffled voice.

The hand rubbing on his waist tightened suddenly, Zhou Yu’s breathing became a little heavier, and his voice grinned with a wanton smile.

No longer trying to break the silence with words, he hugged Xu An and fell asleep.

“Daughter, call home when you get there. We are all going to the city now. We will go to the post office tomorrow to tell people if we can receive your call.”

Xu’s mother held Xu An’s hand and said worriedly .

Xu An nodded obediently, “Okay.”

“Live a good life with Zhou Yu and don’t be willful. If you have anything to do, tell your family and we will go there.”

“It’s normal for young couples to have conflicts. You have only been married not long ago and you don’t have any children now. “Be considerate of each other and love each other.”

Xu’s mother always felt that the instructions were not enough, and she was afraid that her daughter would be willful and even more afraid that she would be bullied.

Xu An agreed obediently, his eyes getting hot after listening to her instructions.

He raised his head, glanced at his family, and said with a smile.

“Mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, Zhou Yu and I will have a good time, don’t worry.”

The family looked at their daughter and son-in-law with reluctance, and were afraid of delaying their daughter’s drive, so they could only reluctantly follow her.

After taking the couple to the village where they were taking the bus, they finally stopped.

Zhou Yu went up to him, pulled Xu An into the car, and looked back at the family standing next to him.

“Mom, we’ll call you when we get back, don’t worry.”

After the others sat down, the tricycle started to start. The loud sound blocked the reluctant voices. Xu An could only wave at them, and then watched a family People become black spots until they disappear.

Zhou Yu’s hand was behind Xu An’s back. Xu An tilted his head and raised his face to look at him, his eyes flushed.

Zhou Yu wrapped his throat and stared at the water in the woman’s eyes. He clumsily touched her with his other hand and frowned.

“Xu An.”

Xu An’s voice was a little soft, “Huh?”

Zhou Yu turned his head and coughed lightly, “If you don’t want to leave, why don’t you go back and stay for two more days?”

The man’s unusually serious suggestion made Xu An laugh out loud. Come.

But his mood improved a lot. He raised his eyes and glared at Zhou Yu, “You don’t have to leave for another two days?”

“You might as well say you go back first. I want to stay at home for a few days.”

Zhou Yu He frowned and quickly refused in a bad tone,

“Let’s go back together.”

There was no reason to lose his wife when he came back. The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Xu An, you want to stay by yourself instead of going back with me?”

“That’s a good idea.”

Xu An gritted his teeth, raised his hand and tugged at Zhou Yu’s broken mouth, and said angrily,

“Stop talking.”

After pinching the person, Xu An sat back down, his face bulging with anger, and the reluctance in his heart due to parting had dissipated a lot.
