Chapter 221 Guo Yan's Doubts

have eaten.

After Miao Hexiang and Guo Yan cleaned the kitchen, they immediately went out to the station.

Because Lu Qiuyan and the others had come, Jiang Ping'an was not in a hurry to go out.

In the living room, Lu Qiuyan, mother and daughter were sitting cross-legged on the kang.

Jiang Ping'an turned on the radio, brought a plate of melon seeds, and placed them on the kang table.

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoxing, Xiaohua, you all can be casual, don't be polite to uncle." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Then he also sat on the kang, crossed his legs, grabbed the melon seeds and passed them to Lu Qiuyan who was opposite.

"If you don't send me a letter when you get married, does it mean that if I don't look for you, you won't look for me?"

Lu Qiuyan took the melon seeds, looked at him and complained, and the three sisters Luo Xiaoyue also stared at him while eating melon seeds.

Jiang Pingan glanced at the three sisters Xiaoyue, turned around and said with a smile:
"We didn't make a fuss about getting married, so we invited some relatives, a few factory leaders and colleagues, and set up a few tables."

Lu Qiuyan peeled melon seeds with both hands, sighed softly, pursed her lips and said:
"That's right, we are just a fellow of the production team."

"That's the relationship. It's normal if you don't invite us."

Jiang Pingan glanced at her sideways and said, "It's meaningless to say that."

"Don't talk about others, I didn't invite the uncles of the production team, but Uncle Dahai and Xindong came."

"It has nothing to do with the distance of the relationship, but the environment does not allow us to get married too high-profile."

Two or three tables, no more, no less, can be less, but not too many, as there will be problems if there are too many.

After a pause, he asked concerned: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, is life going well?"

"It's okay, but the food is a little tight, and there is nothing nutritious to eat." Lu Qiuyan sighed.

When she first moved to the city to settle down, Jiang Ping'an would send her some oil, eggs, and even flour every now and then.

So at that time, she didn't know how difficult it was to get supplies in the city.

Even ordinary eggs cannot be bought with money.

It wasn't until Jiang Ping'an stopped looking for her that she realized how difficult life was.

With the supplies sent by Jiang Pingan, and without him, the quality of life is completely different.

Jiang Pingan nodded, turned his head and asked Luo Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, haven't you eaten meat for a few months?"

"Well... more than three months!" Luo Xiaoyue thought for a while and replied.

"In the middle of the year, the factory once made meat dishes, and my mother ordered some to bring back to eat."

Jiang Ping turned around and asked Lu Qiuyan, "How is the oil and water usually? There should be a little bit?"

"Well, just a few taels per month, what can you do? Just smell it." Lu Qiuyan said with a soft sigh.

Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You don't have diarrhea after eating dumplings in the morning?"

"Just pull it, there is something delicious, even if you pull it every day, it doesn't matter." Luo Xiaoyue answered with a smile.

"Uncle Ping'an, you are still the best. The family not only eats fine grains, but also eats meat!"

Lu Qiuyan asked curiously: "By the way, you and I entered the city at about the same time, where did you find the way?"

"Can this be said casually?" Jiang Pingan glanced at her indifferently and replied.

Lu Qiuyan choked for a while, covered her mouth and smiled, "That's right, it's really inconvenient to talk about this matter."

"It's good to know, it seems that you are not an outspoken person, why can't you speak your head?"

Lu Qiuyan rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "I don't treat you as an outsider, so say nothing."

After a pause, she discussed: "Is it convenient to get me some supplies? But I don't have a ticket, only money."

"You used up a lot of tickets last year?" Jiang Ping'an asked in surprise.

Lu Qiuyan said embarrassedly: "I gave away two-thirds of the tickets."

"I just want to do what I can, and I can't manage too much."

Jiang Pingan nodded. He knew that the people Lu Qiuyan mentioned were the children of her comrades-in-arms who died.

"Materials can be distributed to you, but the amount is not much, and you know what year it is now." Jiang Ping'an said.

Lu Qiuyan, mother and daughter were overjoyed, Luo Xiaoyue crawled over and sat down, holding Jiang Ping'an's arm and smilingly said:

"Uncle Ping'an, you are the most kind. I told my mother to ask you for help, but she was embarrassed."

Lu Qiuyan piled up a small pile of peeled melon seeds in front of the table, picked them up and distributed them to Xiao Xing and Xiao Hua, and said angrily:
"Are you so worthless? Just buy you off with a little delicious food?"

Luo Xiaoyue pouted and said, "I'm grateful to Uncle Ping'an for helping us! Mom, don't be so hard on yourself."

"Oh, you've grown up! You've taught your mother!" Lu Qiuyan was about to get up and pinch her ears.

Luo Xiaoyue giggled, ran to hide behind Jiang Pingan, and put her hands on his shoulders.

Jiang Pingan patted Luo Xiaoyue's forehead with his backhand and criticized:

"Speak well if you have something to say, don't talk back to your mother if you have nothing to do."

"Oh, I listen to Uncle Ping'an, and I will never talk back to Mom again." Luo Xiaoyue said pitifully.

The five were nibbling melon seeds, drinking fragrant tea, talking about homework, laughing and playing, time passed quickly.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Miao Hexiang and Guo Yan picked him up.

Everyone got off at the door of Jiang Ping'an's house. Two bicycles and a tricycle were just enough.

There were quite a few people who came, Miao Hexiang's parents, grandma, grandma and two older brothers, a total of six people.

As for her grandfather and grandfather, both of them have passed away long ago, and the two sisters-in-law did not come, so they stayed at home to take care of the children.

None came empty-handed.

A total of two hens, ten catties of dried fish, more than ten catties of eggs, and some agricultural products such as peppers and garlic were brought.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Pingan took Lu Qiuyan, mother and daughter out.

After meeting up with Miao Hexiang and the others, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went to the small courtyard together.

Jiang Pingan didn't go. He wanted to go out to deliver supplies, so he couldn't delay any longer, so he left after telling Guo Yan and Miao Hexiang.

It was already noon when the supplies came back.

When Jiang Ping'an came to the small courtyard, he realized that Lu Qiuyan had taken Xiaoyue and the others away.

The sun was shining brightly, and Miao Hexiang sat in the yard with his family to bask in the sun, drinking tea and chatting.

Guo Yan took Guan Qingfang and Tian Shu to cook in the kitchen. The two of Guan Tian went back in the morning and came back soon.

Seeing Jiang Ping'an coming, Miao Hexiang's family members were very restrained.

Jiang Pingan distributed cigarettes to Miao Hexiang's father and two brothers first, and after a few words of pleasantries, he went to the kitchen.

"Lu Qiuyan saw that we have a lot of people here, and every family is short of food these years." Guo Yan said with a smile.

"So I don't want to cause trouble for us. They are too embarrassed to stay for dinner, and they can't do anything to keep them."

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Let's go now, you guys do your work first, and I'll set up the dining table and benches."

"Don't worry, I have something to ask you." Guo Yan said quickly.

"Sister-in-law Miao's house suddenly has so many people, what are the arrangements for the evening?"

Jiang Pingan asked back, "Didn't you talk about this on the way?"

"No, I forgot." Guo Yan shook her head and smiled.

Jiang Pingan pondered: "Her father and brother will live in our kitchen at night, what do you think?"

The last time Chen Zezhong and Jiang Dahai went to the city, the men also slept in the kitchen.

Because there is a heated kang, it is actually much more comfortable than living in a guest house.

"Okay, then in the afternoon, I will take time to light the kang first." Guo Yan nodded.

Tian Shu asked, "Are you going to go out with them this afternoon?"

"No, there are too many people here. Sister-in-law Miao said that she would just stroll around." Guo Yan shook her head.

"The main reason is that there are only three bicycles, which is not very convenient for traveling. Her relatives will go back tomorrow morning."
