My 1991.

Chapter 575: Reluctant to Leave
The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

After noon, Lu An left Huang's house and rushed to Shanghai before dinner.

At this time, Yu Wanzhi was still in the villa and had not returned to the Yu family yet, as if waiting for him.

"Sister Yu, I'm back."

As soon as he entered the door, Lu An yelled inside, causing Yu Wanzhi's eyes to be filled with mist. She was rocking the child in her arms, and she raised her head and said softly, "Little man, you came a day earlier than I expected."

Lu An said: "It's quite cold in Shao City. The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow in the next three days. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out by then, so I rushed here as soon as possible."

Seeing him reaching out for the child, Yu Wanzhi carefully handed the baby to him, then stood up and began to pack up, "Mom and Dad and Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for us, so let's go back and have dinner."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Luan bent down and kissed the baby on the forehead, then made all kinds of funny faces, and finally made Princess Yuxi laugh.

He likes children very much, especially his own children. He feels a sense of inheritance of life when he holds them in his arms. With their existence, he feels that his life is not in vain.

It was the first time for Lu An to celebrate the New Year in a big family like Sister Yu's. There were many rules. Used to freedom since childhood, Lu An felt a little restrained and unable to let go at first. Fortunately, Yu Wanzhi was very understanding. She stayed by his side all the time and told him some of the daily things in the big family to dispel his concerns.

The food in Shanghai was very sweet, so sweet that Lu An could not eat much. As he ate, he wondered: Are there many diabetes experts in East China? Are they experienced and skilled?
After the meal, Yu's father and mother noticed that he was feeling unwell. From the next day onwards, the taste of the dishes on the table began to change: they were still sweet, but not as sweet. There were even a few dishes that were purely salty, and one or two Hunan dishes that were spicy.

After taking a bite of the chili, Lu An felt for the first time that Yu's mother was no longer so hostile towards him. Damn, this was a good start and he felt relieved.

The New Year atmosphere in Shanghai is not as strong as that in the rural areas of southern Hunan. I always feel that the crackling firecrackers in the countryside are the taste of childhood. Fortunately, Shanghai is the largest city in China, and its prosperity has injected a different color into New Year's Eve. Lu An held the child and held Yu Wanzhi's hand, immersed in it, and was quite happy.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Grandma Yu took out a camera and had a family photo taken.

Unexpectedly, Lu An received several red envelopes. Although they were not thick, he was still happy. He quietly asked Yu Wanzhi, "Should I give this money to my wife to manage?"

Yu Wanzhi asked jokingly: "I don't like this. How about you let me take care of all your belongings?"

Luan rolled his eyes, his eyes looking up into the sky, and hummed and groaned without saying anything.

He didn't dare to respond. He had more than one wife. If his financial source was cut off, wouldn't his other wife and children starve to death?
That would be equivalent to directly breaking the balance between Sister Yu and Sister Qingchi, and the so-called equal treatment would become a joke.

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Yu Wanzhi, who was originally joking, smiled weakly, then changed the subject and said, "After eating the first meal of the New Year tomorrow morning, our family of three will return to the villa."

Lu An was stunned: "Not going to pay New Year's greetings?"

Yu Wanzhi shook his head. "I've already told a few aunts in advance that I'm not feeling well, so I won't be visiting them this year. They treat me like a friend, so they won't mind."

She has always been weak, so when Luan heard this, he was not too worried, but felt relieved instead.

He promised Sister Qingchi that he would go back on the second day of the New Year. If he had to pay New Year's greetings to all the aunts and uncles here one by one, how long would it take him to get there?
Fortunately, Sister Yu was knowledgeable and tactful. She seemed to have guessed what I was thinking and took the initiative to leave a way out for me.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Sister Qingchi said years ago: Since Wanzhi and I have made the same choice, we must learn to respect each other. I think Wanzhi will do the same as me.

Before the New Year, Sister Qingchi took the initiative to invite Lu An to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, Sister Yu returned the favor and, without waiting for him to ask, took the initiative to pave the way for him.

At this moment, he felt very happy.

It really proves the old saying that a woman three years older than a man is a treasure. An older wife has the advantage of being worldly-wise and understanding, and she is reasonable and you don't need to worry about anything.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Luan was very busy, answering and making phone calls.

The wealthy woman Yu Wanzhi seemed rather deserted. Apart from calls from relatives and friends, it seemed that no subordinates wished her a happy new year.

Lu An asked: "Have you told the people in the company in advance?"

Yu Wanzhi shook his head. "No, this is my personal preference. I don't like my subordinates to wish me a happy new year. The Chinese New Year is a festive occasion and should be relaxed. I don't like to hear my subordinates flattering me in a formulaic way over the phone."

Luan gave a thumbs up, awesome!
This is the foundation. You have already stood at the top of prosperity. You have seen all kinds of splendor and are tired of it.

Of course, only the Yu family has this qualification. If it were an ordinary person, no matter whether they like it or not, they would have to be patient and endure it.

Knowing that Lu An and Yu Wanzhi had returned to the villa on the first day of their freshman year, Wu Dan and Ding Chao were very loyal and ran out of their homes to keep them company, spending the first day of the new year happily together.

Wu Dan and Ding Chao like Yuxi very much. They don't even call her "Guoguo" by her nickname anymore. They just call her little princess all the time. Lu An can see that the couple really want a child, but unfortunately, fate plays tricks on them.

Wu Dan said to Yu Wanzhi: "I have seen your childhood photos. The little princess looks exactly like you when you were born. I am really envious of you. I hope you will be a stunning beauty when you grow up."

Yu Wanzhi stretched out her hand to tease the baby. In fact, she was not worried that her daughter would grow up to be ugly. Whether she looked like herself or her father, her appearance would definitely stand out in the crowd.

Wu Dan looked at Guo Guo, then at Lu An and Yu Wanzhi, and expressed his thoughts, "Let me be the godmother of our little princess."

Lu An and Yu Wanzhi looked at each other and agreed.

Ding Chao wanted to be the godfather, but before Sister Yu and Wu Dan could react, Lu An flatly refused.

Nowadays, "godfather" is not a derogatory term. Ding Chao was a little confused. "Why? On what basis? Wu Dan can be a godmother? But I can't? You are being partial."

Luan waved his hands, saying firmly: "No means no. My daughter only needs me as her father. She doesn't need anyone else."

Ding Chao was so angry that he pointed his finger at him and said, "Lu, you are too arrogant and inhumane. Just wait, I will drink you to death tonight."

Luan snorted, still not letting go.

Afterwards, Yu Wanzhi quietly asked him with a warm smile, "Are you jealous, little man? You don't want your daughter to get too close to the opposite sex so early?"

Luan couldn't explain the bad habits brought by "godfathers" in later generations, so he just raised his head and admitted it.

Seeing this, Yu Wanzhi did not force him, but just sighed: "Ding Chao really wants to have a child, but his health has not improved, what a pity."

Lu An was silent for a while, then said, "We are going to have a second and third child. If we have a boy, we can let him be the godfather."

The second and third children were the products of Yu Wanzhi's plan. She nodded and agreed.

With Wu Dan and Ding Chao by his side, the New Year was celebrated in a very lively manner. On the morning of the second day of the New Year, before dawn, he left the villa and rushed to the airport.

Wu Dan accompanied Yu Wanzhi to the roadside to see her off. When the Mercedes-Benz disappeared, she asked, "Your husband went to live with another woman on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Do you feel sad now?"

Yu Wanzhi turned around and walked towards the villa, saying, "Not bad."

Wu Dan didn't believe it and followed behind him: "He is out there with other women, isn't it uncomfortable for you?"

Yu Wanzhi hummed softly and said gently, "This is something I expected a long time ago. I am mentally prepared. Besides, after having a baby, my focus has shifted. Now he is like a flying kite. As long as he doesn't go too far, I won't care how he plays outside. Anyway, I hold the string in my hand."

Hearing this, Wu Dan stared at her best friend for a while and stopped asking questions.

He set off from Shanghai Airport at six o'clock and arrived in Changshi two hours later. When he arrived at his hometown, it was just lunch time and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her brother come back on time, Lu Yan was also relieved, and hurriedly pulled him and said, "The food has just been served, come and eat, after dinner you should accompany Qingchi to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng."

"Eh."

Lu An responded, then sat next to Meng Qingchi and asked with concern: "Sister Qingchi, how did you sleep last night? Were you woken by the firecrackers?"

Meng Qingchi smiled and picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks, and said lazily: "It's not bad. I fall asleep and don't wake up easily. I slept for almost 6 hours last night. I'll catch up on some sleep when I get home." After calling brother and sister-in-law, the younger sister Song Jia sat obediently beside them without saying a word, but her eyes were always on the two of them. She was very curious, what tricks did her second brother use to have such a good time outside, but this sister-in-law was not only not angry, but also picked up food for him?
If it was her, wow! Lu Laoer's head would have been smashed by him long ago! Not even a piece of the coffin board would be left for him!
The snow from the second day of the Chinese New Year had melted and the mountain road was open to traffic. After lunch, Lu An drove himself, taking Sister Qingchi and a lot of bags to the Meng family.

As Mr. Meng is old and homesick, he doesn’t like to celebrate the New Year away from home. Every year, the Meng family celebrates the New Year in their hometown in Qianzhen. It’s not far away, only about 20 miles away, and they can get there quickly.

To be honest, Lu An didn't spend the New Year in his hometown, and he didn't visit the Meng family in such a close distance a few days before the New Year. He felt a little guilty when he visited them, but as Meng Qingchi took his arm, his uneasy heart calmed down.

Maybe it was because Sister Qingchi helped to cover up so well, Meng Zhenhai and Li Meng didn't seem to notice that Lu An was outside. They thought that the Lu family was busy recently and didn't come. Anyway, from the words they said, Lu An didn't feel anything unusual.

I stayed at the Meng family for a day on the third day of the Chinese New Year. I followed the Meng family as they visited many relatives. At the end of the day, everyone felt a little tired.

On the fourth day of the New Year, after breakfast, the entire Meng family left Qianzhen. Meng Zhenhai, Li Meng, Meng Wenjie and his sister-in-law were all people in the system and had their own personal relationships to maintain, so they returned to their respective circles on time.

Lu Anze and Meng Qingchi went directly back to Chang City. They planned to go to their uncle's house first, and then go to Qingchi's teacher's house for dinner.

As Meng Qingchi's husband, this was the first time in his life that he had close contact with his teacher. However, they had interacted with each other many times in their previous lives, so he was not a stranger.

Also present was Meng Qingshui, who accompanied her sister throughout the entire process.

When she got home in the evening, Lu An poured a cup of tea for Meng Qingchi and said, "Sister Qingchi, I have to go back to Shao City tomorrow."

Meng Qingchi took the tea, took a sip, and then asked, "When will you come back?"

Luan estimated the time, "It will take two to three days."

Meng Qingchi looked into his eyes quietly for a while. Just when he was hesitating whether to tell her everything, she nodded gently and agreed: "Okay, go quickly and come back soon. Be careful on the road."

Meng Qingshui, who was listening to the conversation between the two, frowned slightly, but still said nothing in the end. His eyes fell on the TV, pretending not to hear it.

It was only after Lu An left the next day that Meng Qingshui could not help but ask her sister: "Sister, why don't you ask him why he returned to Shao City?"

Meng Qingchi raised her head calmly: "No need to ask, I know. As soon as Xiao An said the word "Shao City", I almost understood what was going on."

Meng Qingshui still looked at her sister.

After looking at each other for a while, Meng Qingchi said, "There are Ye Run and Liu Hui in Shao City. Xiao An should be looking for one of them when he goes back this time. Considering the relationship and intimacy between the two women and Xiao An, it is most likely Ye Run."

At this point, she paused and added, "Of course, it's possible that it's both."

Meng Qingshui asked: "Can you really not be jealous if you watch him cheating on you?"

Meng Qingchi listened without saying anything, his eyes were surprisingly calm.

After a short standoff, Meng Qingshui felt a little frustrated and muttered quietly, "It's not convenient for you and Sister Yu. He must not be able to hold it in for such a long time. Ye Run is really lucky."

Meng Qingchi still didn't say anything, but lowered his head to read the book in his hand.

Compared to Huang Ting and Ye Run, whose affairs have almost been settled, she is actually more worried about her younger sister. From her words just now, it is obvious that her younger sister is still thinking about Xiao An.

She thought to herself: Did my little sister say this to me on purpose? Or was she just angry and wanted to remind me?

If it was intentional, then what was my sister's intention? What was her purpose?

If it was really just a reminder, Meng Qingchi himself was a little bit skeptical. After all, his younger sister had been smart since she was young and would not do such a thankless task.

Inadvertently, Meng Qingchi glanced again, and his suspicion became even stronger, and he felt vaguely uneasy.

But this was his younger sister, and she had been in love with Xiao An. According to the hints from his mother and grandmother, Xiao An and her had not taken the last step, but the rest, including kissing, hugging, caressing, etc., had already happened. Every time he thought of this, Meng Qingchi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was really mixed.

Meng Qingchi was not the kind of person who would hold on to the past, but her younger sister's behavior seemed to be telling her something. But she had no other options, and could not rely on her status as the elder sister to blame her younger sister with unsubstantiated speculation.

the other side.

As promised, Lu An came to Guifei Lane again.

When he reached the second floor, before he could knock on the door, it opened from the inside, revealing Ye Run's angry little face.

"Why did you come?"

"Wait for a long time?"

"I'm not, your Aunt Yue is."

Hu Yue, who was chatting with her brothers and sisters in the living room, heard the conversation between the two people, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stood up and said to Lu An, "Sit with your uncle and the others for a while. I'll go cook."

The word "Uncle" made the four brothers and sisters of Hu Yue all look at Lu An. Although it was not the first time for the two sides to meet, they had met in Yiyang and had dinner together. But now that they met again, Lu An and the brothers and sisters of the Hu family felt a different atmosphere.

But everyone is smart. Due to the unclear relationship between Ye Run and Lu An, they cannot be open about it. So they just mention it briefly and stay at the stage of inner speculation without revealing it.

Since Aunt Yue said so, Lu An didn't hold back any longer and went straight for the attack, calling out to his uncle and aunt along the way.

"Yeah." The other party was not vague either. He pretended to be confused while chatting enthusiastically with Luan.

Seeing that Luan became friends with his uncle and aunt very quickly, Ye Run seemed a little embarrassed at first because his relationship with Luan was exposed by his mother, but later on, he could only serve tea and water and roll his eyes.

She secretly complained in her heart: I have never seen such a shameless person.

Hu Yue had prepared lunch in advance and it was very lively. However, they had to move in the afternoon, so they didn't drink. After a few drinks, they ended their lunch in a casual conversation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the news of the Ye family's move spread throughout the entire Guifei Lane. Everyone, regardless of gender, age, or whether they were neighbors with whom they had friction on a daily basis, came to help.

For example, helping to lift furniture.

For example, helping to carry things into the car, etc.

Everyone knew that Aunt Yue was popular, but they didn't expect her to be so popular. Almost everyone greeted Hu Yue, and then amidst the blessings and sighs, Hu Yue and Ye Run got in the car and left the place where they had lived for decades.

When the car drove out of the alley, Hu Yue and Ye Run looked back at Guifei Lane at the same time. In an instant, their eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, Lu An didn't care about that anymore. He reached out and grabbed Ye Run's hand, comforting her: "You can come back when you have time in the future."

"Hmm." Ye Run hummed lightly, his eyes swept across the tube buildings on both sides, and finally forced himself to look away.

After driving for a while, Ye Run suddenly said to Hu Yue, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, "Mom, don't worry. I will come back to visit Dad every Qingming Festival."

"Okay, okay!" Hu Yue said "Okay" twice in a slow voice, and finally brought her head back in from the car.

The wind was strong and a little cold. Hu Yue closed the window and turned to look at Lu An and her daughter holding hands. The reluctance on her face was instantly covered by a complicated smile. After a while, she said to Lu An earnestly: "Xiao An, Runbao will be handed over to you from now on."

"Mom, don't worry. As long as I live one more day, I will take care of Ye Run one more day." At this moment, Lu An changed his name for the first time in his life and made such a solemn promise.

"Okay! Okay!" Hu Yue said "Okay" twice in a row, but this time her tone was much more relaxed than before. Then she turned her head, looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the car, and fell into silence.
