An Xiaolan sometimes felt that if Mr. An and Mrs. Liu never showed up, their family could live happily ever after even if their lives were always poor.It's a pity that life can't satisfy them with just such a small request.At least when An Xiaolan saw the old man and Liu Shi approaching aggressively, she really felt that her request was not too much.

In fact, in this impoverished and remote village, no matter what you do for a living, you are doomed not to make a fortune. Even if you wake up early and work hard every day, you can only maintain a basic livelihood.Therefore, going out to work has become the choice of many young people.After seeing the colorful world outside, many people, like Yang Jing's father, do not want to return to this poor and closed village. A "filial son" like An Xinping who sends all his salary home every month is really It's not much, and this has already made the "richness" of Anjia early in disguise, relatively rich.

When the old man's grandfather was in the family, An's family was relatively well-off, but in the old man's generation, it was considered to be in decline, but counting the salary sent back by An Xinping every month, life is still better than other people in the same village.The old man has some sense of superiority handed down from his ancestors, and Liu's ears and eyes have been deeply influenced, and he also has some illusions of superiority.So when the two elders heard that An Xinping was setting up a stall in the town, their first reaction was to lose face and the face of Lao An's family. How could the old man bear this?This time, before Mrs. Liu exploded, the old man went to An Xiaolan's house with a dark face and without delay.

At that time, it was in the evening, An Xiaolan had just returned from school with her younger siblings, and when they were about to reach the fork in the road, they saw the elders coming from a distance.Seeing Mrs. Liu, An Zhengming hugged An Xiaolan's waist subconsciously, raised his face and asked worriedly, "Sister, why is grandma here?"

An Xiaolan had no choice but to touch An Zhengming's small face, raised her index finger to press on her lips, and said half-jokingly: "Don't worry about them, let's go home from the road, secretly."

An Zhengming's eyes widened, amused by An Xiaolan, and he looked at An Xiaofeng again. The three siblings walked into the alley like thieves, and trotted all the way home.

After the business in the town stabilized, An Xinping and Lin Qiying began to divide and cooperate. After going out together in the morning, Lin Qiying would come back earlier in the afternoon to prepare dinner in advance and wait for the children to leave school.An Xinping came home late, and was responsible for tidying up the stalls and merchandise before returning home, just in time for dinner.

The country people don't have much entertainment, and they eat early after school.After An Xiaolan arrived home, Lin Qiying's dinner was ready, and she was about to tell Lin Qiying that the old man and Mrs. Liu were here, but before she could speak, the voices of An Zhengming and An Xiaofeng cheering to welcome An Xinping sounded outside.An Xiaolan raised her eyebrows, and walked out of the kitchen with Lin Qiying.

This time is often the happiest time for the family.Usually in the morning, they go to school, go out, they are so busy that they rarely have a chance to talk.Only in the evening, when the family returned one after another, did it really come to the time to get together.Even though An Xinping and Lin Qiying have been back for a while, such moments are still not too many for them.

Unfortunately, an unexpected guest came today.An Xiaolan looked at her younger siblings who were hugging An Xinping and acted like a baby, and had no choice but to interrupt their interest.

"Dad, Mom, grandpa and grandma are here, they should be here soon." An Xiaolan said, curling her lips with some reluctance.

"Where is it?" An Xinping was taken aback, and looked at Lin Qiying, neither of them reacted.

An Zhengming spoke quickly, and when An Xiaolan reminded him, he immediately remembered, ran over and hugged Lin Qiying's waist, and said in a crisp voice: "We saw grandparents on the way back, and they are coming home. My sister took us from the It’s a small road, and grandparents must be here soon.”

Lin Qiying touched An Zhengming's head, looked at An Xinping worriedly and asked, "Why are parents here? Could something be wrong?" No way, the family has reached a consensus. It's not a good thing to have anything to do with it.

"Let's have a look first and then talk." An Xinping didn't have any countermeasures, he couldn't turn away the old people who came to him.

"Then...shall I prepare more dinner? At this point, they probably haven't eaten yet." Lin Qiying said.

"Do grandparents want to stay for dinner?" An Zhengming asked with a look of shock, which made everyone feel sad and funny.An Xinping gently pinched his face, and said gently: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when parents come."

So, the family of five just stood in the living room, staring at the path outside the door, waiting for the arrival of the second elder.The second elder indeed arrived soon, but unfortunately An Xinping and the others still didn't understand why the second elder came until they entered the door.So, after saying hello, An Xinping asked straight to the point: "Mom and Dad, why are you here? Have you eaten yet?"

"You still know that I'm your father!" The old man glared at him and said angrily.

An Xiaolan retreated to the corner silently, thinking that the opening remarks of the old man and Liu Shi were getting more and more boring.Looking at the posture of the old man and Liu Shi, An Xiaolan felt that they would not fight, so she consciously hid behind, using herself as the background.

An Xinping was a little confused by the old man's voice, scratched the back of his head honestly, and asked dully: "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Let me ask you, what are you doing now?" The old man frowned and asked, this time Mrs. Liu was very peaceful, and sat next to the old man without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" An Xinping still looked puzzled, looking at Lin Qiying, then at An Xiaolan, and asked in puzzlement, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing every day now?!"

"Me?" An Xinping was stunned for a moment, not understanding the old man's motive for asking this question, but he still replied uncertainly: "Yingzi and I rented a stall in the town, selling school supplies and some small toys for students every day. "

As soon as the words fell, the old man slapped the table and roared angrily: "You really embarrass Lao An's family!"

"Dad, what's the matter? Am I doing something wrong?"

The old man's face turned black with anger, but seeing An Xinping still didn't understand, he was so choked that he didn't know what to say.Mrs. Liu turned her face to look at the old man, she did not lose her temper, but said earnestly: "Pingzi, what do you think? How could you set up a stall! Isn't this the person who lost your father? What about the town? People come and go in the market, and now everyone in the village knows that you set up a stall in the town, so it won't make people laugh at your father."

Obviously, they have different understandings on the point of "losing face".In the eyes of the old man and Mrs. Liu, this is a shameful thing.But An Xinping, Lin Qiying, and An Xiaolan's siblings obviously couldn't understand this kind of thinking. The family of five looked at the angry old man and Mrs. Liu, and looked at each other. of.

If you can't understand, you can't communicate.An Xinping was silent for a long while before hesitantly explained: "Dad, what's wrong with setting up a stall? This...it's actually pretty good. Recently, Yingzi and I have gotten to know each other well. I can close the stall early every afternoon and earn enough. Yes. What's the matter with you... and Mom?"

"Shame!" The old man stomped his cane and said bitterly.Just like An Xinping didn't know how to explain, the old man also didn't know how to express himself.Seeing An Xinping's "obsessed with obsession" like this, the old man could only repeat what Mrs. Liu said, "If you go to the town to embarrass yourself, you will embarrass our family. Who does it, it's the poor. ! That was done by you and others! How could you do it!"
