Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 94 Proud of You
"It's okay, Auntie, it's all said to be from my own family, why can't you talk, don't talk about her, don't let Xiao Lanzi really have a relationship with me."

Hearing what An Zhiyuan said was natural, Lin Qiutang was relieved,

"Success, you don't pick her yourself, I'm too lazy to bother."

This is the return to the usual attitude of getting along with each other, An Zhiyuan finally put his heart back in his stomach,

"Brother, are you really the prince?"

Well, another one came to add to the confusion, but An Zhiyuan had to answer. He lowered his posture very much, leaned in front of the little hoe, shortened half his body, faced his face, and explained seriously,

"Yes, little hoe, I am the son of An Guohou. My father is the current An Guohou. He is also a brave general appointed by the emperor of Wuxia Kingdom. An Yiran is the great general."

Speaking of his father, An Zhiyuan also looked proud and proud.

"An Yiran, General An is your father?"

Little Hoe's eyes widened, isn't it amazing?

"Yes, General An is my father."

An Zhiyuan nodded affirmatively,
"Is it the General An that Master talked about?"

When he was practicing, the master would often tell his brothers and himself about the things he did when he was fighting on the front line. The one he talked about the most was this General An. Little Hoe didn’t expect that he was the one he admired the most. General An is actually Brother Zhiyuan's father,

"Is he tall? Does he have to be this tall?"

The little hoe stood on tiptoe and raised his hand above his head to gesture, but he thought it was too short.

"Is it strong? Is it that strong?"

He put his hands around his waist again, leaving a large circle to measure the thickness,

"Do you have a big beard? I heard that all the generals have a big beard? It will look very powerful."

Asking the questions in his heart repeatedly, the little hoe held An Zhiyuan's hand tightly. It turned out that the hero was so close to him.

"He looks no different from us. He is about the same height as Uncle Lan, but he is a bit stronger in stature, about the same as our master. He is not as exaggerated as you imagined, but he is also so tall and strong."

An Zhiyuan also imitated the little hoe just now, gesturing with his hands,

"I have grown some beards, but only a little on the chin. It's not like in the drama. It's one or two feet long. What's the use of fighting? It's so inconvenient."

The two brothers started chatting with each other, Lan Erzhuang and Lin Qiutang looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, but Lan Lingxue stepped in,

"Mother, hurry up and prepare lunch, otherwise you won't have anything to eat at noon. There are about ten people in the room."

Reminded by Lan Lingxue, Lin Qiutang hurriedly stood up,
"No, there are so many people, this meal must be well prepared."

"Let me go help too, more people can always go faster."

An Zhiyuan also came over and expressed his desire to help. After all, these people came here for their own sake, but they caused trouble for the Lan family for nothing.
"That's not necessary, let mother cook the meal first at home, the three of us will follow dad to give the New Year's gift, go and come back quickly, otherwise, the New Year's gift will be delivered late this year, when we come back after giving the New Year's gift , when I cook again, it’s all ready, and it’s quick to cook.”

Lan Lingxue is also a man of action. While talking, she has already gone to pick up the things on the table.

"That can't be done, those are all New Year's Eve dinners prepared by you and your aunt, just cook two big pots for them."

An Zhiyuan was really unwilling to let Uncle Lan's family produce things and work hard, especially to make Lan Lingxue tired.

Seeing An Zhiyuan's unwillingness, Lan Lingxue had to say, this is also a child who hasn't grown up yet, he came here for you, and you still care about it, but An Zhiyuan's far and near relatives, It still warms Lan Lingxue's heart, no matter how you say it, this child didn't hurt in vain,

"Our family is not short of those things. After all, we are here to see you, so we can get by anyway. We can't let people look down on us and think that you are suffering here."

Knowing that the little girl was trying to make himself look good, An Zhiyuan laughed foolishly, picked up his things and went out, first went to Lizheng's grandpa's house, left some snacks for him, and another piece of muslin cloth, Grandma Li happily collected the things, but stuffed a lot of homemade bacon and pickled side dishes. This is a good thing. Lan Lingxue didn't refuse, and then went to Uncle Sanshui, Uncle Jianye, Chunsheng Uncle and Uncle Shanzi’s family, each of these families kept a few catties of pastries, picked out colors, and had all kinds of pastries, but these families did not collect things for nothing. Pickled vegetables, or dried vegetables, salted eggs, salted duck eggs, etc. were stuffed into the hands of several people. The things in this hand were given away, but they received a lot of them, and the four of them were still holding hands full of New Year gifts. .

"Father, mother, it's Chinese New Year, I'm here to give you something."

Lan Erzhuang led Lan Lingxue and the little hoe into the door of the old house, while An Zhiyuan took the annual gifts returned by the previous houses and waited in a corner sheltered from the wind. Lan Erzhuang originally wanted him to follow Those who went in, it was really uncomfortable to wait outside in this cold weather, not to mention that there was still snow in the sky, although it was smaller than in the morning, but it kept on going, but was stopped by Lan Lingxue,

"Father, you don't know my grandma's temperament. She doesn't feel well when we are full. If we let her know that we still have other people, then we have to turn it over immediately. Don't mess with it when it's Chinese New Year. Her old man was angry."

Lan Lingxue still has lingering fears about what happened last time, one thing more is worse than one thing less, maybe the old lady doesn't care about it, but if she cares about it, how about a good year?
"That's right, don't really make your grandma angry, then Zhiyuan will work harder and wait for us outside for a while, let's come out quickly."

Lan Erzhuang led An Zhiyuan to the leeward side of the house,

"You just wait here for a while, the sun is rising here, and there is no wind, so it will be warmer."

"You don't have to worry about me, Uncle Lan, how can you not bear this little wind and snow, so you can still be called a man."

An Zhiyuan pushed Lan Erzhuang a few, and told them to enter the house quickly. Lan Erzhuang looked back every step of the way, feeling a little uncomfortable. He was actually afraid that An Zhiyuan would have thoughts in his heart. He couldn't let the children come into the house to meet the elders, he was rude anyway, but he really couldn't tell for sure about his old lady's temperament, and even less so if he hurt other people's children's face.

"Second brother is here, come in quickly, it's snowing, it's going to be quite difficult to walk over."

Lan Sizhuang saw the second brother and the two children first, and hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the door of the main room.
"Father, mother, my second brother brought the children to see you coming."

Entering the door of the main room, Lan Erzhuang saw his father and mother, sitting firmly on the kang, and there was no joy on his face, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart, it seemed that his parents were I really don't want to see myself and my children. How can there be a big New Year's Eve? Grandparents don't even have a smiling face when they see their grandsons and granddaughters. put on the face,
"Father, mother, it's Chinese New Year, I'm here to give you something."

Putting the annual gifts in her hands and the snacks in the hands of the children on the kang in front of her father and mother, Mrs. Lan stretched out her hand and opened the bags, looking at them one by one, but Mr. Lan didn't stop her. In this scene, I saw Lan Erzhuang's face was hot, and my parents really couldn't pick it up, but I took apart the New Year ceremony in front of me, and it was different from slapping my face.

"Second brother, sit down quickly, drink some hot water, let the children drink some, it's very cold, don't freeze the children anymore."

Lan Sizhuang couldn't see it any longer, so he interrupted hurriedly, pulled the second brother and the two children to the table, and wanted the three of them to sit down and drink water.
"No, there's still work at home. Your sister-in-law is alone. She's too busy. I have to go back and help, so I won't sit down."

Lan Erzhuang didn't sit down, but walked a few steps towards his father and mother.

"Father, mother, then I'll go back. I won't go over to the elder brother and the third younger brother. Your two elders share the snacks with the children, and they all taste something new. This is what Qiutang specially left from the shop yesterday. from."

"I know that I want to give it to the children, but I don't know how to bring over more. These few packets of snacks are enough for anyone to eat. I plan to entertain guests who come to visit."

After hearing Lan Erzhuang's words, instead of being grateful, the old lady Lan felt that her son was underpaid. Lan Erzhuang's heart burned like a fire, and his eyes were red. He really didn't expect , My own filial piety, in exchange for this kind of treatment.

"Mother, the second elder brother sent things here with a sense of filial piety. It's all a matter of heart. If you want to treat guests with snacks, then set aside half of them for the children. Why don't you take them all out? Isn't that right?" One catty and two catties of dim sum is several catties, so it is enough for our family to eat for the New Year, on weekdays, our family never sees a catty of dim sum in a year."

Seeing that the second brother was about to suffocate, Lan Sizhuang hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He also knew that his mother had gone too far, but, after all, this was his own mother, and no matter how much he went too far, he couldn't stand against her. During the Chinese New Year, if people in the village gossip because of the New Year ceremony, then the reputation of the second brother will be damaged. Besides, the second brother brought something to see his parents, but he was disgusted by his parents. people are chilling,

"How can you talk, I'm talking to your second brother, why, my son can't talk about it."

As soon as the old lady Lan heard Lan Sizhuang's words, she turned around immediately. She guarded such a big pastry shop and came back with just a few packets of pastries. She dared to say filial piety. Pooh!

Seeing that her father's face was flushed red, he looked suffocated, frustrated, but unable to vent, Lan Lingxue couldn't help it anymore, she really didn't want to talk, but she couldn't bully others too much,

"Grandma, the pastries are very expensive in the shop where my mother works. Just these few packets of pastries cost my mother more than two taels of silver. If you want to take them out to entertain guests, we won't stop you. We just don't know what kind If you are an honored guest, you can afford such expensive snacks, anyway, my mother's wishes are fulfilled, if you are willing to spread the money, that is your kindness."
