Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 334 An Tai Couple
"Anjie, here!"

At the Passenger Transport Center in Qingdao, An Tai immediately recognized his younger sister An Jie and waved and called An Jie.

On Thursday of the second week, Anjie set off from Songshan Island to Qingdao, planning to spend the night in a guest house near her eldest brother Antai's home, and then take the train to the capital the next day.

After An Tai bought the train ticket for An Jie in Jiang Defu, he received a call from An Jie and was told that An Jie was going to Qingdao with his three children.

"Mom, uncle is waiting for us."

Jiang Yafei, wearing a military uniform, took the lead and led An Jie and the three of them towards the exit.

It was the protection of Jiang Yafei who was wearing military uniform along the way that saved a lot of things. After all, I believe many people still know about the situation of taking a bus in this era.

"Big brother."

Anjie led his three children to Antai.

"This is Ya Fei. He is so handsome in military uniform. This is Wei Min and Yaning. They are all grown up and they are both very talented. Little sister, look at how well these children of yours have grown. Do you have What a blessing."

"Come on, there are people coming and going here. Let's go home first. Your sister-in-law is already at home preparing dinner for you."

An Tai looked at An Jie and his three nephews and nieces with a happy face. This showed both his flattery for the power of the Jiang family and his own love for his younger sister as the eldest brother.

An Tai took the package in An Jie's hand and asked the four of them to take the bus with him.Before the public-private partnership, all transportation in Anjie Antai was by car. Now, it is either bicycles or buses.

As for An Tai’s two children, son An Chen and daughter An Yi, they became soldiers ten years ago and three years ago respectively with the help of their brother-in-law Jiang Defu. Now An Chen is already a deputy company-level cadre. If it weren’t for An Tai As a couple, with Jiang Defu's help, it is estimated that they can become Zhenglian or above now.

"Okay, follow brother's arrangements."

Anjie is grateful and attached to his eldest brother Antai.In Anjie's life, there is rarely a role of father, because his father abandoned their parents very early and always doted on his concubine, and he even married her on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It was the eldest brother An Tai who gave An Jie the role of father. For An Jie, An Tai was both his eldest brother and his father.Even her marriage to Jiang Defu was brokered by An Tai.

Perhaps An Tai valued Jiang Defu's status as an army officer, which could bring them shelter, and it was also because An Tai had a keen eye for people and felt that Jiang Defu would be a good husband at a glance.

It was An Tai's insight into people that allowed An Jie to have his current happy marriage, and also brought protection to the An family.

Antai and his wife are small figures in history, and their life has not been easy for a long time. The existence of characters like them in the TV series highlights the word "era" in period dramas. Their half-life patience and Self-comfort, I am afraid that only those who have experienced it will understand the difficulty and helplessness they have in dealing with others.

Maybe the Antai couple seem too sophisticated and tacky, but in this era, people of their status are just trying to protect themselves. Judging from many details, they are still very kind in nature and are well-educated people.

It was really not easy for them to survive in that era. It was commendable that the couple could stay awake and be conscience-free, and be knowledgeable about the world without being worldly.

"Then we'll have to trouble my eldest brother and sister-in-law, but Defu has already booked a guest house for us. It's near my eldest brother's house. We'll sleep in the guest house at night."

It's okay to go to eldest brother's house to eat, but forget about sleeping.After all, the eldest brother now lives in a house allocated by the factory instead of the big villa before. It really can't accommodate the four of them. "Okay, then I'll follow my brother-in-law's arrangements."

"By the way, little sister, why did you suddenly come to Qingdao this time? Do you have anything to do?"

An Tai heard that the guest house was arranged by Jiang Defu, and there was indeed no room for them at home, so An Jie and the others couldn't be allowed to build floors at home.But An Tai is still curious about An Jie.After getting on the bus, An Tai asked.

"I'm going to the capital to see my eldest cousin and eldest sister. I haven't been to visit my eldest sister since she went to the capital. In the past few years, I have only been there a few times when Defu went to the capital for meetings. As a younger sister, I always have to visit her. Go check it out.”

"And my eldest cousin took me with me when I was a child. I didn't get in touch with her before, and I didn't go to visit her after I got in touch with her. This time, I will take advantage of the fact that the children are older and I have time to visit them."

An Jie didn't talk about asking Jiang Defu for an official position, but only said that he was going to visit Yang's mother and An Xin.

"You're talking about my cousin. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her since she followed her uncle to Zhijiang. It's been almost 40 years. I heard you say that my cousin's son is now very outstanding."

"When are you going to leave? I'll also ask for a leave and come with you to have a look."

An Tai was actually not familiar with Yang's mother and Yang Shuning's situation. His sources of information came from sisters An Xin and An Jie.Moreover, when they were young, the relationship between An Tai and Mother Yang was not as deep as that between An Jie and Mother Yang. Later, when Yang Shuning visited An Jie and took away An Xin's family, he did not come to visit his cousin. The relationship between An Tai and Mother Yang was naturally not as strong as that between An Xin and Mother Yang. feelings between.

However, thinking that Mother Yang is his real relative after all, and that Yang Shuning did not give up on An Xin because An Xin was in trouble, but instead helped An Xin's family, he probably wouldn't have any objections to him, so he naturally wanted to see Mother Yang. I also visited the An Xin family who had turned over.

While talking, they got off the bus under the leadership of An Tai and walked to An Tai's house.

"We are preparing to take the train tomorrow and arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow. If you want to go, brother, you have to prepare your luggage at night and ask for leave in time tomorrow morning. I will also call Defu and ask him to help arrange the train tickets. "

As for An Tai and his wife going to the capital together, An Jie naturally hopes to go together. The three brothers and sisters of the An family have not been together for a long time.

"Here, mother, my little sister and the children are already here. Are the meals ready? The children are probably hungry."

"The house is a bit small, and it can't compare with your house on the island. There are Yafeianin and Weimin, so you just find a place to sit by yourself. I'll get you some water."

As soon as everyone was together, An Tai called his wife.

"Anjie is here, and so are the children. Sit down quickly, the food will be ready. You sit down first, and you can eat soon."

An Tai's wife has been busy in the kitchen early today, preparing to thank her great savior, her sister-in-law, with a sumptuous meal.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Seeing his sister-in-law busy, Anjie didn't sit down to rest and went to the kitchen to help.
