Chapter 600: I Don't Think I've Ever Mentioned My Ancestral Home

"I don't think I've ever mentioned my ancestral home; before I went to university, my ancestral home was in the Northeast."

As An Yinan said this, she took a small sip of wine, the intoxicating aroma carrying her longing.

"In that place, the people are all hospitable."

"In that place, you can leave your doors unlocked at night; you could walk up to any house there and say, 'I'm hungry.'"

"The grandpas and grandmas would all give you a bite to eat."

"The people there aren't wealthy, just small households farming their own little plots of land, but they are very kind; their every word and action represents their true hearts."

"They don't like to exaggerate, and even if they boast, they will strive to live up to it."

As she spoke, there seemed to be brilliant colors in her eyes; otherwise, how could they make one feel so dazzled?

"You really like that place." Huang Ying spoke up, interrupting An Yinan's memories.

An Yinan looked at Huang Ying, "Yes, my relatives are there; it's the place where I met my companions, and it's also where my man and I met, came to know each other, and fell in love."

"You are a Mainland person?" Li Kun suddenly spoke.

He thought about it; there was no such place in City, and other countries wouldn't have one either.

An Yinan smiled, "Yes, I am a Mainland person."

When she said this, she was so proud—proud to be a Mainland person, proud to be a descendant of Huaxia.

Even if they had looked down on Mainland people before, now that they knew An Yinan, they realized that the Mainland was not the Mainland they had imagined.

Deep in their hearts, a seed had been planted; they really wanted to go to the Mainland to see, to go to the Northeast that An An spoke of, to see the simple folk customs there, to see the doors left unlocked at night.

"You are very outstanding," Li Kun said from the bottom of his heart.

Actually, they were of similar age; although An An had already given birth to two children, she was not old, and there were very few people he could acknowledge, let alone someone who could change his view of a place—such people were even rarer.

An Yinan looked at Li Kun, "Outstanding? In my Great Huaxia, there are too many people like me; every one of them is outstanding."

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled.

"Try the food and see if it suits your taste." An Yinan used serving chopsticks to put some dishes on the plates for the three of them.

She looked at Huang Ying with some curiosity, "Do you simply like eating vegetables and dislike meat, or is it because of something else?"

This girl had only eaten three bites of vegetables from the beginning until now, and she kept touching her stomach.

She was a bit puzzled; she hadn't poisoned the food, had she?

Could it be that she had added croton powder and forgotten about it?

Huang Ying looked at her own stomach with some embarrassment, then looked at An Yinan's, and said with some dejection, "I'm too fat."

"Just because of this?" An Yinan said in surprise.

Huang Ying was almost aggrieved to the point of tears; she was also very curious why An An could eat so much and yet her stomach remained flat, never bulging.

"Yeah, I just love getting fat! I gain weight from eating anything, and even if I don't eat, I gain weight just from drinking water." The little girl was young after all; once the topic came up, she looked like she was about to have a breakdown.

An Yinan saw this...

This wouldn't do; on her own turf, letting a little girl feel aggrieved—how could that be allowed?

"So what if you gain weight? Little girls are so cute when they're chubby." She said these words from the bottom of her heart, and besides, Huang Ying was the type of cute, baby-faced person who, when she smiled, had curved eyes that made people happy just looking at her.

Otherwise, someone as vengeful as her wouldn't have gotten so close to someone if they were calculating.
