sweet wife little confused

Chapter 101 Missing
Back home, An Xiu'er originally wanted to catch up on sleep, but she tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she simply turned over, made breakfast for herself, then packed her things, and went back to her mother's house.

Father An, Mrs. Liang and the others all knew the news that Zhang Zhen'an was leaving. Seeing An Xiu'er approaching, Mrs. Liang hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Xiu'er, is my uncle gone?"

"Let's go." An Xiu'er nodded, "So, I have to trouble my mother again during this time, and I have to stay at her mother's house for a while longer."

"It's okay, you can come back, my mother couldn't be happier." Liang stretched out his hand to take the salute from An Xiuer's hand, and the big girls and An Ronghe beside him were also very happy, because An Xiuer came, and in the future When grandma wanted to beat and scold them, someone persuaded them to fight.

An Xiu'er looked at Dong Shi again, and said, "During this time, I'm afraid I will trouble the second sister-in-law."

"It's okay, girl, you can come back if you want to live." Mrs. Dong was also very kind. Zhang Zhenan came here yesterday and gave some money to Father An and An Tiemu. This was what she saw with her own eyes. The relationship with An Xiu'er is also good, and now there is no grievance in her heart.

I just envy her. When she was at home, she was loved by her parents and elder brothers. After she got married, her husband treated her so well.

"Okay, everyone is a family, why is it troublesome or not? Last time Ronghe ate Chinese food at your place for so long, besides, you don't know your second sister-in-law, and you are afraid that she will say more about you. ? And this family, now mother has the final say!"

Mrs. Liang's words were domineering, and she meant to beat Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Dong repeatedly nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Liang then led An Xiu'er to the room.

"Yesterday morning, your second brother came back and said that my uncle is back. I guessed that you might not be staying at home during this time, so I hugged the quilt outside to dry in the sun. But in the afternoon, my uncle came and said that he was going to leave for a while. You are lucky to have you come to live here again, this quilt was only dried yesterday, and now it still smells like sunshine."

"Thank you, mother." An Xiu'er smiled slightly.

"Silly boy, why are you being so polite with your mother? Our room is always prepared for you. If you want to come and live, you can come and live anytime."

"En." An Xiu'er nodded heavily, but she knew that this was actually impossible. An Ronghe grew up watching it. Last time, Mrs. Dong told herself that An Rong and herself should sleep alone. It's not too big, it's just right for him to change this boudoir into a study and bedroom, but today Liang said that, she was still very happy.

After Mrs. Liang made the bed for her, she went to her home to temporarily bring her things over. After all, her house was going to be built now, and the old house was to be demolished and rebuilt, so there was no place to put the things, so they had to be put in Anjia for the time being.

Anyway, there was nothing valuable in the house, so An Xiu'er packed it up in the closet, so she didn't follow her. After telling An Tiemu a few words, she went back to her room to sleep.

Originally, she thought that she should not be able to fall asleep, but the strange thing was that she fell asleep with her arms around the quilt. It seemed that after returning to her mother's house, she slept more peacefully.

At noon Mrs. Dong came over to ask her to have dinner. Although the food was not as good as her own, it was not bad, and it was much better than before.

"Mother, is it because I'm here that you cook such delicious dishes?" An Xiu'er asked casually.

"Don't worry too much. Didn't your second brother earn a lot of money when he went to the county seat yesterday? It's not too much to buy some food. Besides, these little guys in the family are all growing up, and your sister-in-law is also weak. If you have the conditions, mother I also want everyone to eat better." Liang Shi was quite open-minded, unlike other women in the village, who had two coins and held them in the palm of their hands, reluctant to use a penny.

"That's right." An Xiu'er nodded, and said: "Before Mr. Xiang left, he gave me a lot of money. When we go to the market next time, let's go to the town to buy some food."

"The two of you think it will cost a lot of money to build this house. How can you use your money." Grain waved his hand and said, "Although you live here, my uncle has already brought the money and came here. I said I wouldn't accept it, but he insisted on giving it, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it, and in order to ease his heart, I can only accept it with the cheek."

Liang's expression was a little guilty, and he said: "It stands to reason that we two old people shouldn't collect money when you come to live in our house, but thinking that Rong He will spend money to study, I will treat this money as a loan from you. When Ronghe is promising, I will definitely not forget you as an aunt."

"En." An Xiu'er nodded, patted the little head sitting next to her, and said: "Did you hear that, study hard, your grandma and grandma expect you to be successful in the future, and you will be honored."

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard!" The young boy replied decisively and forcefully.

An Xiu'er then smiled, and said: "Then aunt will be waiting to be touched by you."

"Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely treat you well in the future, and I will also treat father, second uncle, second aunt, and grandparents." An Ronghe promised.

The child didn't know how difficult the world was, and he couldn't take his childish words seriously, but his words still amused everyone, causing Liang Shi to put a few more pieces of meat in his bowl.

"Actually, being good to us is not just talking about it. You should study hard on weekdays and listen to your grandparents at home. Don't let us worry about you, but let us be proud of you. We're done." An Xiu'er taught earnestly.

"En." An Ronghe nodded thoughtfully, and asked about Zhang Zhenan's departure, "By the way, where did uncle go?"

"He's gone to the county seat." An Xiu'er replied.

"Why are you going to the county town?" An Ronghe asked again. Children just have the characteristic of breaking the casserole and asking the end. An Xiu'er was a little helpless, and she didn't know how to answer, so she just said: "He went to do his own thing. Go, and be back when the time comes."

"When is that time?" An Ronghe raised his head and said, "I wanted to take advantage of the vacation to ask my uncle some homework questions, but he left."

"Okay, it's the same to ask again when he comes back. Now eat obediently, okay?" An Xiuer looked down at him, and he obediently ate the rice in the bowl.

The farmer didn't waste it. An Ronghe and the others cleaned up the rice in the bowl, not a single grain was left. An Xiu'er had no appetite today. She couldn't finish the rice in the bowl. She couldn't eat it normally The finished meal was given to Zhang Zhenan, but today he could only sit in front of the table and finish the meal obediently.

In the end, she was the last to eat and was laughed at by the three children.

In the afternoon, Father An and the others went to work, Mrs. Liang also went out to help, and the two maids also went to the field to pick pigweed, leaving An Xiu'er alone at home.

In the past, she was often alone at home during the busy farming season, but now, she was not used to it. In the afternoon, she moved a small stool and sat under the eaves in a daze, and only went to the kitchen to help cook in the evening.

It is hot summer, and it is the busy time of farming. Although the An family does not have many fields, the family still goes out early and returns late to work. After the rice is harvested, it is peanuts and soybeans. The An family is busy every day, and An Xiuer is alone. At home, help cook and turn over some crops.

But when she was free, she couldn't help thinking wildly, wondering if Zhang Zhenan had reached Minyue City safely, guessed what happened to him at home, and whether his mother's condition was good or bad.

I don't know what he is doing at the moment and if he misses her, but after he left for a few days, she began to miss him.

Sleeping alone at night, it was always difficult for her to fall asleep because of tossing and turning. Sometimes she couldn't help but open the window and stare at the moon in the sky in a daze for half an hour.

Every summer when it was the hottest, An Xiu'er's appetite became very poor, and she would inevitably lose a few catties every time. Since Zhang Zhen'an left, she also felt a little depressed, and she lost weight again as soon as she saw it.

Seeing Anxiuer's sharper chin, Liang's heart ached very much. She is someone who has been there, so how can she not know what's on her daughter's mind? She took a chance at night and asked Anxiuer when Zhang Zhen'an would come back. She only said it would take more than a month. , let Mrs. Liang not worry.

Liang felt a little guilty, but she also knew An Xiu'er's temperament, and knew that she was alone at home on weekdays, so she couldn't help thinking wildly. The next day, seeing that there was not much farm work left at home, she made a special promise to An Xiu'er and Da Yaer Ah, the three children are at home, let them play with An Xiuer.

The children in the country also have many ways to play. Going to the trees to catch cicadas, looking for scarabs, and looking for crickets in the wild grass are all their pleasures.

Although An Rong and the three of them were playful, they were also sensible. They knew that Mrs. Liang let them go on vacation just to let them play with their aunt, so naturally they couldn't take her to catch cicadas and hunt for scarabs.

As for catching crickets, An Xiu'er is considered a master of it now, so naturally they don't need them, besides, Zhang Zhenan doesn't let her catch crickets, one is that there are many snakes and insects at night, it is easy to be bitten, and the other is that he doesn't let her fight with gladiators There are too many contacts in the field.

An Xiu'er also knows that the cricket captured by An Tiemu was able to win in the arena last time, it was pure luck, and she might not have such good luck next time, besides, the village does not know who released it. It is said that An Tiemu and Zhang Zhenan made a lot of money by catching crickets at night, and now many villagers catch them with lights at night.

Therefore, not only An Xiu'er, but even An Tiemu stopped catching crickets. After all, there are more people catching crickets, and those ordinary crickets are hard to sell. High-ranking officials and nobles have no connections, so they can only sell to those second-class dealers, but they still can't make much money.

Originally, An Xiuer wanted to come here, this is a good business, but who knew that the rumors were leaked, causing the villagers to move after hearing the news, and now the landlord Wang in the next village specially sends people to collect crickets, as long as he likes them, they will be paid twenty cents , An Tiemu also went to sell it once, they didn't accept middle-level goods, but all of them were high-quality goods, that is to say, the high-quality goods were only [-] yuan, and An Tiemu was so angry that he almost smashed the cage on the spot.

But these ordinary villagers are grateful to the landlord Wang. After all, they have few ways to make money. It is just a waste of time to catch crickets at night, and it does not delay their work during the day. In their opinion, this is the best thing , if it is taken by other stewards, it will be twenty coins.

But how can there be so many high-quality crickets? These villagers all carry nets, and they are not afraid of destroying the living environment of crickets. They were trampled to death.

An Tiemu is a person who loves crickets. He sighed when he saw this situation, and simply washed his hands again and stopped catching them. He has been very busy during this time, and he has to do the work in the field and help take care of them. An Xiu'er's family was working hard every day to build a house.

After An Xiu'er learned about these situations, she felt a little uncomfortable. She had finally thought of a way to make money, but in just a few days, she was no longer able to make money.

She thought it must be the last time they went to the town to sell crickets and were seen by the villagers, and then they saw their own house building, so they made a bold guess, but in fact, the money for building the house was shared by the family. It came out with a punch.

"Auntie, why don't we catch loaches today, and then we'll take you to catch toads at night." An Ronghe suggested.

He is also a pragmatic person. Most of the children in the village like to catch bugs and play with mud, but he is more advanced than them. After all, loaches and toads are edible.

"Well, okay." An Xiu'er heard noisy toads croaking every night, but she didn't expect to catch them. Besides, she hasn't eaten toad meat for a long time, thinking about it, she is really greedy.

"Yes, aunt, we can still catch crabs and catch crayfish."

Da Ya also interjected, this time is the best time to catch crabs, she has long wanted to go, but she has to work every day, and has no time, so she dare not go, she is afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Well, now that An Xiu'er is her shield, she becomes bolder.

"Well, okay." An Xiu'er also nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's catch crabs first today?" Da Ya and Er Ya said in unison. It seems that they have planned for a long time, and they have long wanted to play in the river.

An Xiu'er looked down to see their expectant eyes, and was about to agree, when she heard An Ronghe say: "No, I have to catch the loach first. Uncle Niu's house in the village happens to be collecting rice in the rice seedling field today, and their rice seedling field has the most loaches." If we go late, the loaches in their fields will be taken away by then."

"Well, then we have to go quickly." An Xiu'er nodded, then turned to the two of them and said, "Let's go up to catch loaches today, catch crabs in the small river in the afternoon, and go fishing for toads in the evening. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Both of them agreed. Although they didn't catch crabs first, they were still very happy. They were playing anyway. After playing, they would have something to eat.
