Xiao Shitou came into the house with a roar and kowtowed to his grandmother and uncle.
"Grandma, uncle, my mother and I originally agreed to go back to see you during the Chinese New Year, but my mother has a big belly and can't move, so I didn't expect you to come here."
Then he turned to him and asked, "Dad, you sent Uncle Jiang, why didn't you tell me that I could go too."
Ding Changhe glanced at Xiao Shitou and said, "You still need to be trained, so you can't leave for such a long time. Jiang Li has been to your grandmother's house, so he is familiar with it, otherwise your grandmother and your uncle wouldn't be able to come over with peace of mind."
An Ran smiled and pulled the little stone and said, "Go and freshen up first, look at this, and come back later."
Xiao Shitou resigned and went to the clean room to freshen up.
Ding Changhe turned around and said, "An Ran, you talk to your mother-in-law and the others for a while. I'll go to the backyard to see the general who was drunk yesterday."
Yesterday, several close family members also drank too much and slept on a big kang with Xiao Shitou. ?.?????.???
An Ran said quickly: "There is meat and vegetables in the kitchen that I prepared. You let them take them home. Every family has children. Don't let the adults eat them and forget about the children."
Ding Changhe smiled and said, "Okay, they will definitely be happy." After saying that, he turned around and went to the backyard.
An's mother pulled An Ran and said, "Of course, bring the child here and let us see. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, you are already the mother of two children."
After saying that, tears fell again. It has been more than ten years since my daughter got married. Even though we corresponded from time to time, I was not able to see it in person, but I still miss her deeply.
An Ran hurriedly took the child out. An's mother looked at the sturdy child, who looked like a little stone, and happily took out the newly struck silver lock of longevity from the package.
"Xiao Shitou, we didn't know anything at that time. We had no information at all. We have wronged you and Xiao Shitou."
An Ran wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Mom, the conditions at home are not good. Why are you spending so much money?"
An Qiao also happily looked at this nephew who looked very similar to Xiao Shitou, "Sister, my brother-in-law has been sending people to deliver things and money every year in the past few years. Besides, I don't have anything to eat at home, so it's not as hard as you said. "
An Ran asked An Qiao carefully about the situation at home in the past few years.
It turned out that the first time Ding Changhe went out, he passed by Daliuzhuang not far away and sent someone to deliver some things. Later, he would send things and money before the festival every year.
It happened that An Qiao thought his brother-in-law was sending something, and his sister knew about it, so she didn't mention it in the letter.
It was impossible for An Ran not to be moved, because this Ding Changhe had never told her.
"In the first few years, there was heavy rain, and the harvest in the fields was gone. We could still make some money from medicinal materials. But at the end of the year, life was also difficult. Fortunately, my uncle sent us food and helped many relatives."
An Ran heard this from a fellow businessman.
"Later on, there were bad times, and my uncle helped me a lot every year, so my family's life was not that difficult."
An Ran remembered and asked quickly: "Didn't you say that An Qiao got a wife? Why didn't we come together?"
An Qiao scratched his head and smiled, and An's mother said cheerfully: "Your brother and sister are pregnant, but the journey is too long and takes many days, so I didn't come."
An Ran also said happily: "You have to be careful. After all, it's a long way. Even a good person can't bear to travel for so many days. This is our An family's first child, so we naturally have to be extra careful."
Mother An felt completely relieved when she saw that her daughter was here and her two sons were with her.
Mainly because after seeing Ding Changhe, she felt that he was still very good to her daughter.
"As long as you and Qiaoer are living well, mother will be relieved. But the place is too far away. The journey takes six or seven days. This is still a big carriage. If it is a donkey carriage, I don't know how long it will take."
An Ran held her mother's arm and whispered: "When I got married, my mother knew that as long as I left, it would be difficult to meet her."
"My mother just wanted you to have a better marriage and not have such a hard life. Besides, your grandfather had already arranged a marriage for you. This is fate."
An Qiao said hurriedly: "It's all over now, so why bring it up? My sister is doing well now and can still communicate with her occasionally, which is good."
Mother An said: "Why hasn't Xiao Shitou come here for so long?"
An Ran turned around and looked around and said, "There are still many family members in the backyard who have not left. I guess he and his father will come back after sending them away."
"When Little Shitou came to our place for the first time, he said that his father was not good to you. However, there was no news from him in the past few years. Was it difficult for you at that time?"
An Ran smiled and said, "It's all over. Little Shitou now goes in and out with his father. After all, he is the grandson of Ding's family, and his father is a bit strict with him."
"Did you have a hard time when you first got married?" An's mother was really worried, but there was nothing she could do.
An Ran smiled and passed by her mother avoiding the most important things. It's all over, what's the point anymore.
After Xiao Shitou saw off the general, he ran back again.
"Uncle, have you seen my brother? He looks like me."
An Qiao looked at his nephew with a smile, "Look, he looks quite similar. He is also strong. I guess he will be a great general like you in the future."
这话小石头特爱听，蹭到他舅舅身边坐好，“我觉得也是，就是现在什么都不懂，就知道哭，哭起来我都想揍他，扯着嗓子就知道干嚎。”
An's mother smiled and said, "You are the eldest brother, but
