Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1176 A Harmonious Atmosphere
As they left the restaurant, Wang An handed the bag he was carrying to Mu Xueli and said:
"Take this back to the hospital first, I'll go somewhere else to get some food."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xueli quickly tried to dissuade him:

"Brother-in-law, there's so much food here, and I even packed up most of that bowl of rice. It filled five lunchboxes. There are only six of us eating, so it should be enough, right?"

At the restaurant, Wang An only looked at the dishes and paid for them, but he didn't pay for the five lunch boxes of rice.

Wang An glanced at Mu Xueli and said:

“We have enough to eat, but what about your sister? She just had a baby, she can’t eat rice, so she’ll just have some egg custard? Will that fill her up? It’s nothing.”

To be honest, Mu Xueli is almost 20 years old, yet she doesn't understand any common sense.

Although Wang An didn't know much about it before.

Before Mu Xueli could speak again, Wang An continued:

"Alright, you can go back now. You guys eat first, and let your sister eat with me later."

So, Mu Xueli, her face flushed with embarrassment, went back to the hospital first, while Wang An took the remaining two empty lunch boxes and headed to another restaurant.

At that time, because the policy had just been relaxed, there weren't many restaurants in the county, so Wang An walked quite a distance before finding another restaurant, or more accurately, a noodle shop.

For Mu Xueqing, a new mother, besides eggs, noodles are undoubtedly the most palatable food, because noodles are soft and easy to digest.

So Wang An changed his mind at the last minute and instead of buying noodles, he bought Mu Xueqing a large portion of wontons and ten poached eggs. Feeling that there was nothing else to buy, Wang An then headed towards the hospital.

On the way back, Wang An kept walking, but his mind was still on what had happened at the restaurant.

The main reason was that he had gotten into a fight with someone for no reason, which really annoyed Wang An.

To be honest, with the birth of his son and daughter, Wang An really didn't want to fight with anyone anymore. At least for the month before his daughter and son were a month old, Wang An really wanted to be kind to others.

In his previous life, Wang An had read a magazine article that said that when humans are first born into this world, in their infancy, they are the purest and most sensitive beings.

It is said that although babies don't understand anything and only know how to eat and sleep all day, they can be influenced by the outside world, especially their parents, and they can also see many ethereal things.

Wang An discovered that, perhaps because he had killed someone, he would become very angry after each fight, and could be said to be full of malice. Therefore, Wang An did not want his negative emotions to affect his daughter and son.

If his son and daughter were to become like him, fighting with anyone without thinking, Wang Anke would be in a terrible predicament.

Lost in thought, Wang An walked to the hospital entrance.

Outside the hospital, Wang An lit a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he felt that his emotions had basically returned to normal, and then he went inside the hospital.

I don't know what it's like for others to become fathers for the first time, but Wang An is definitely acting a bit neurotic right now, even making a mountain out of a molehill.

When Wang An entered the ward, he was all smiles, showing no sign that he had lost his temper and gotten into a fight earlier.

Meanwhile, the people in the ward weren't eating; they were all watching Comrade Mu Xueli's performance. Mu Xueli was standing in front of the stove, spitting everywhere, recounting to Liu Ruxin and Liu Guilan Wang An's heroic act of beating someone up at the restaurant.

As she spoke, Mu Xueli gestured wildly with her hands and feet.

It must be said that Mu Xueli's storytelling was indeed very engaging, and her gestures were very vivid, just like a storyteller.

However, Mu Xueli exaggerated in her words, practically portraying Wang An as an invincible master who dared to fight against evil forces.

Mu Xueli's performance captivated Liu Ruxin, Liu Guilan, Mu Xueqing, and Huang Li, who watched and listened with rapt attention, as if afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Perhaps because Mu Xueli was so engrossed in her performance, and the four ladies were so captivated by the sight, not only did Mu Xueli not notice Wang An enter the room, but Liu Guilan and Liu Ruxin also failed to notice.

When Wang An noticed that Liu Guilan and the others didn't seem worried while Mu Xueli was performing, he didn't interrupt her. Instead, he sat down and watched her performance.

The process of Wang An hitting someone didn't take long, so Wang An only sat for a short while before Mu Xueli finished her performance.

Only then did Wang An walk forward with a smile, flick Mu Xueli's forehead, and jokingly question her:

"I was only a little late coming back, and you're already talking about me like this behind my back?"

Mu Xueli was suddenly jolted by the projectile, and upon hearing Wang An's voice, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Oh my god, when did my brother-in-law come back?"

As she spoke, Mu Xueli covered her head and quickly hid behind Liu Guilan, while also complaining to Liu Guilan:

"Auntie, your son hit me, please do something about it."

Before Liu Guilan could speak, Liu Ruxin said with a smile, "Mu Xueli said:"

"You deserve a beating. You keep saying you have a foul mouth and you're so annoying. Cats imitate everyone. Do you think your brother-in-law is like that? You're just copying others blindly."

Liu Guilan, however, defended Mu Xueli with a smile, saying:
"Xue Li is so good at it. I know my own son all too well. If you ask me, Xue Li should just learn to tell stories. I think Xue Li tells them better than the ones on the radio."

Liu Ruxin was naturally pleased that her son was praised by his mother-in-law, but she rolled her eyes at Mu Xueli and then said very modestly:
“What can he say? All he does is talk nonsense all day long. He just talks nonsense whenever he has a spare moment. Look how good my son-in-law is. He’s healthy, family-oriented, and considerate.”

In this sentence, "白话" is a local dialect word that means to brag or to talk nonsense with wide eyes.

Liu Guilan said:
"I think Xue Li is a good kid. She's honest and steady. She's not like Xiao An, who has a fiery temper and can start a fight with anyone without warning."

Liu Ruxin: "."

Liu Guilan: "."

And so, Liu Guilan and Liu Ruxin began praising each other's sons, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Wang An and Mu Xueli exchanged a glance, then began to spread newspapers on the bed and placed the food and dishes on top.
