Chapter 149 Little Uncle Missed, An Ran Borrowed Money and Was Humiliated (5)
An Ran listened and thought, this seems to be another story with twists and turns!It's a pity that she wanted to ask, but grandpa refused to say anything. He just sighed: "It's all over, and grandpa is getting old. I only hope that the two sisters can live well..."

After living in Gu's house for seven days, Gu Wanniang saw that the old man's health was completely recovered, so she took her children back to Zhao's house with peace of mind.

Still leave early in the morning and arrive in the evening.Just as Yulan started the fire and An Ran was chopping vegetables, she heard An Nan shouting outside: "Second Aunt? Ran Sister? You are back!"

An Qi ran out of the room, and Gu Wanniang had already opened the door.Annan walked into the main room with a big basket and sat down, put the basket on the table, and took out the contents one by one.

On the top are a few pieces of ink and inkstone, and four brushes, on the bottom is cut and folded rice paper, and at the bottom is a basket of eggs.

Annan took out the things and said, "Two days ago, my father-in-law sent some four treasures of the study, saying that these things from Huzhou are very cheap, and they are good to use. I took some and gave them to Brother Qi and Sister Ran. Use it. When it’s used up, I still have it over there, so you don’t have to go to the town to buy it. I secretly hid the eggs, and my mother doesn’t know about them, so you can eat them at ease.”

Gu Wanniang looked at the things on the table and sighed secretly.

Since the separation, Annan came to visit from time to time, brought some rice noodles and clothes, and taught Anqi homework, but sometimes Wang found out, and would help a girl limping out of the yard to point fingers and scold Huai. It was very troublesome, every time Zhao Shirong or Annan had to come over to get her back.

Since the family moved out, Mrs. Wang had people pull out the flowers and plants in the yard, planted all vegetables and fruits, and raised more than a dozen chickens, which could pick up seven or eight eggs every day.An Qi couldn't help sighing as he thought of how many ways his cousin had thought of in order to secretly pick up a few eggs under the eyes of his aunt.What the hell is going on!
"It's rare that your second aunt has the audacity to accept your kindness." Gu Wanniang thought for a while, and then said, "Forget it this time. Don't do this in the future. Let your mother know. If you are free, Just come here and tell Brother Qi about your homework." In fact, she said this many times, but Annan never listened.If she didn't accept it and let Annan bring it back, it would be easier for Wang to find out, and that would be even more serious.

Annan smiled embarrassedly and said, "My mother really doesn't know this time." After thinking for a while, he added, "If she makes trouble again, just ignore her and just treat it like a chicken crowing."

An Ran couldn't help laughing when she heard it in the kitchen.chicken?It seems that after many years, there is another meaning!An Ran thought harshly, with Wang's greedy, selfish, disgusting appearance and her limp legs, even if she wanted to be a chicken, no one would buy it.

Gu Wanniang said a few words to An Nan, and then sent their brothers to the room to read.Looking at the things on the table, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.Husband has loved Brother Nan for so many years, after all, it was not in vain.Thinking of her deceased husband, Gu Wanniang couldn't help being sad again.

Time passed slowly, at the end of the year, Gu Shengwen came back, and made a special trip to Zhaojia Village, brought some New Year's goods over, asked An Ran some questions, rested for a night, and went back early the next morning .

Shortly after the year, Annan's one-year filial piety finally passed.Qian Pengyang sent someone to pick him up, and Annan took Qian Ying to Huzhou.Before leaving, Annan secretly gave Anqi 50 taels of silver. Anqi didn't want to accept it, but the Gu family hadn't sent bonuses since his father's accident.

And since Annan left, he also took away all the servants in the family. Mrs. Wang was limping and didn't go out much.An Ran's family has saved a lot of trouble.It's just that the family's finances are getting more and more difficult. Although the little aunt and the eldest sister will send some things from time to time, so that they must speak up when they have difficulties, but how can such an mouth be opened?An Ran had no choice but to embroider all kinds of screens, embroidered handkerchiefs and quilts with Yulan and sell them, but she was able to cope with life.

An Qi felt very guilty when he saw this. He was the only man in the family, but he asked his younger sister to rely on embroidery to support him. What is this?
An Ran comforted him and said: "Brother, your task is to study hard and get a good reputation in the future, so as to protect mother and me. We are all waiting for brother to lead us to live a good life!"

An Qi nodded, studying harder and harder.

In the third year of Zhao Shihua's death, Annan wrote back, saying that he had gone to take the examination, but failed.His father-in-law asked him to continue studying in the academy over there.However, Qian Ying has good news. He will be a father by the end of the year.Mrs. Wang was very proud, and said it to everyone she met.

Anping has followed Anqi to read and write since he was five years old.And every time after the autumn harvest, the third uncle would send some grain over, and always said that if there were any difficulties at home, he would tell him.But the third uncle's life is not easy, and An Ran is too embarrassed to tell him if there are difficulties!
An Ran's family is still living a low-key life, not farming, only raising a few chickens and ducks, and almost doing embroidery at home during the day.

The three-year filial piety period has finally passed. My brother is 14 years old, An Ran is 11 years old, and Yulan is [-] years old this year.

The second sister of the uncle's family, An Rou, is fourteen this year, and has reached the age of marriage. It is said that the Wang family has booked her a son from a merchant in the town, and they will marry next year.After An Shu found out, she came back and quarreled with Mrs. Wang and left angrily.Annan also wrote to complain about his father. He had already met someone in the academy and planned to tell his sister.

Compared to An Shu's disappointment when she was assigned to the merchant by the Wang family, An Rou herself is very happy.She has really had enough of the hard times in the past few years. The money sent back by the elder brother every year has been saved by her mother, and she is not allowed to use it at all.An Rou was very envious of the days when the proprietress of the merchants wore gold and silver.

On the third anniversary of Zhao Shihua, Wei Qingyuan brought Zhao Yunxing and Wang Moqian brought An Shu, and they all went to worship on Zhao Shihua's grave together.The next day, Wei Qingyuan took Annan and Anran to stay for a short stay.Gu Wanniang refused to go, so Yulan took the initiative to stay and take care of her.

The Wei family just expanded the yard in and out based on the previous one. It is not very big, and the family only bought five or six servants, and their daily life is relatively simple.Seeing An Ran, she nodded secretly, not greedy for pleasure, not luxurious, this is the long-term way.
