Chapter 495: Parent-child Outfit

~8 min read 1,433 words

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it, the Parent-child Outfit!" An Yinan nodded here.

How could it be that she had so few opportunities to communicate with her elders like this?

"Big Uncle, wait for us to go back!" An Yinan checked the time; more than ten minutes had already passed.

According to Big Aunt, the Military had been truly too busy lately.

"Alright, are you going to Shanghai first, or Pengcheng? Call me when you arrive." Yun Fei gave instructions, which was rare.

An Yinan immediately responded happily, "Okay!"

The two hung up the phone, neither moving for a moment.

Yun Fei thought, this must be the bond between father and daughter.

Although he was the uncle of Nan Nan and Beibei, whether it was him or Liu Xicai, they both treated these two children as their own.

An Yinan stood there in a daze, not even noticing when her sister-in-law came over.

"What's wrong?" the sister-in-law asked with a smile.

An Yinan looked at her sister-in-law, "I suddenly feel that some people aren't serious, they just don't know how to express themselves."

Big Uncle is one!

Chen Xun is another.

They just don't know how to say it, but they have always shown it through their actions.

After hearing An Yinan's words, the sister-in-law smiled, "That's why, when looking at people, don't listen to what they say, but look at what they do."

An Yinan nodded, "Truth indeed!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm going upstairs first." She took happy steps and went upstairs, *tap tap*.

"You didn't get scolded, did you?" Liu Xicai was standing in the hallway and couldn't help but ask with a smile when she saw An Yinan coming up.

This matter was actually her own fault.

Both the elderly and the children couldn't see Yun Fei.

In fact, she hadn't seen him for the past few days either; every day she would be asleep by the time Yun Fei returned, and when she woke up, Yun Fei had already left.

It was a trip out to play, and in Yangcheng, where she had never been before, she had forgotten in her excitement.

She actually should have been the one to make the call, but Nan Nan said she wanted to make it herself.

That was why she had been waiting here.

"No~ Big Uncle cares about us a lot; he told us to eat well and take good care of our health. I even told Big Uncle that we are going to eat seafood tomorrow!" An Yinan said excitedly.

Although Big Uncle's original words were much stiffer, she could feel Big Uncle's concern, so she had adjusted the tone and phrasing.

Liu Xicai tapped An Yinan on the nose, "Your Big Uncle wouldn't say things like that."

An Yinan raised an eyebrow, "Big Uncle also said he's looking forward to your beautiful photos!"

"Everything I said is true; if you don't believe me, you can ask him when we return to Beijing."

She smiled playfully. They had eaten on the road when they came back, so they weren't hungry, and they would go back to their room to get a good sleep in a while.

They still had to stay in Yangcheng for a few more days; she needed to confirm the plot of land before she could leave.

"Alright, alright, I believe you, Nan Nan."

"You got up too early today, go back to your room and sleep early; I'll keep an eye on Grandma here."

Just after Grandma went upstairs, she washed up and went to sleep; she was already fast asleep now.

She could also feel these past few days that her mother-in-law was in a very good mood; sometimes, she would even hum opera tunes.

"Okay!" The two returned to their room.

After An Yinan finished washing up, she sat leaning against the bed.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Qiu Hua, who had just been tidying up, saw her like this the moment she turned around.

An Yinan was in a daze!

This was too rare; if her camera hadn't been out of reach, she would definitely have taken a photo to commemorate it.

"Qiu Hua, let's calculate the time; did I delay your wedding again?" An Yinan suddenly realized that the two people who were supposed to get married had one left by her in Quanshui Village and the other brought by her to Yangcheng.

One in the south and one in the north, separated completely—was that even okay?

Seeing her expression, Zhao Qiu Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What are you thinking? We've already received our marriage certificates; we're just missing the wedding banquet, and we're waiting for my parents to ask for leave to come to Beijing."

"When they come over, we'll have a meal together, and that will be considered done."

An Yinan found it curious and looked at her, saying, "Not going back to your hometown?"

After all, when getting married, one should let relatives and friends know, so as to receive their blessings.

It was actually a way to announce the relationship to avoid gossip.

"Why go back to the hometown?" Zhao Qiu Hua smiled.

"There aren't any particularly important relatives left in the hometown, and my future Development Economics career is set in Beijing."

She spoke in detail about her plans for the future, and that her parents would also be brought to Beijing later; it would be more convenient in Beijing, and she had already discussed it with Qian Zhao.

Qian Zhao had said that her parents were his parents.

"That's good too. After your parents come, they can just stay in my courtyard; Qian Zhao already tidied it up before, so it saves the trouble of moving back and forth," An Yinan replied with a smile.

"So... what were you thinking about just now?" Zhao Qiu Hua lay on the side, gossiping. Seeing An Yinan looking thoughtful just now, she really wanted to hear an answer.

"Just thinking about Big Uncle and Chen Xun," An Yinan replied, but she soon smiled.

She didn't even know what she was struggling with herself.

It was just that after the phone call, she realized many soldiers had a trait: they kept everything in their hearts and carried everything on their own.

"Alright then," Zhao Qiu Hua smiled and hugged An Yinan's arm.

"Nan Nan, what will it be like in ten years?" She didn't know why she asked this question; it just suddenly came to mind.

The difference between the Southern Front and the North is vast; the economic development here in the South is more rapid than in the North.

The current era seems completely different from when she went down to the countryside.

Then, what will the future look like?

"Perhaps not worrying about life, and not being lost about the future? Who can say for sure?" An Yinan sighed.

Zhao Qiu Hua thought for a moment and nodded silently; that would already be very good.

An Yinan took out a book and continued flipping through it; there was only half a semester left, and recently her study progress had caught up and even surpassed the school's teaching schedule.

"Nan Nan, don't you get tired?" She always felt that Nan Nan had an endless supply of energy.

Zhao Qiu Hua lay to one side, turning on her side to look at her.

An Yinan thought about it: tired?

"Sometimes I get tired, but I push through it, and it passes."

But most of the time, she was full of strength.

She always felt a sense of responsibility.

Zhao Qiu Hua sat up and also picked up a book from the side; the two of them leaned side by side, no longer speaking.

An Yinan accompanied her grandmother and Big Aunt to stroll through the streets and shops here, and even took them to see the shops on Wholesale Street when there were fewer people.

"Why is there no one here?" Grandmother pointed to the half-empty street; could it be that Nan Nan's business was not good?

Could the money she borrowed before be because the business here was bad?

In the span of a moment, Grandmother thought of many things.

However, a young man walked over, "Grandma, you just arrived, right?"

"This half of the street is very special; the shipment volume is low, and once it's past four o'clock, don't even think about grabbing any goods." The young man was very enthusiastic, his face tanned pitch-black; one look and it was clear he was a middleman who had been hanging around here for a long time.
