Chapter 88 Double Standards
"You want to leave?" An Xiu'er heard this sentence with sharp ears.

Originally this was the truth, but seeing her lost eyes, Zhang Zhenan refused to admit it, and just said: "It's like this, the fish brought back in summer are easy to die, and they can't be sold at a good price. I want to go to the county to find some jobs." Dry."

"Are you going to the county seat?" An Xiuer was a little reluctant to let Zhang Zhenan go out, so she said, "There's no need to go, I think we can live like this now."

"That's impossible. I won't be able to make any money from fishing. What shall we eat?" Zhang Zhen'an reached out and touched her head, and said, "Didn't you always hope that I would make more money?"

"But I don't want you to go out." An Xiuer replied: "It's such a hot day, what can you do outside? I'm worried about you. As for food and clothing, it's not a problem. I can embroider during the day and take you with me at night." Go catch crickets."

"Could it be possible for me to be raised by you as a man?" Zhang Zhen'an couldn't help laughing, the masculinity in his bones didn't allow him to do so.

"I'm going to the county for a few days. It won't take too much time. You can do well at home alone."

When An Xiu'er heard what he said, she knew that he had already made up her mind, and she couldn't stop her, so she said, "Okay then, how many days will it take you to go outside?"

"Two or three days, it won't be too long. If you are afraid alone, you can go back to live with your parents during this time." Zhang Zhenan was a little worried about her, and was also thinking about how to arrange her. After pondering for a while, he said: "Tomorrow I will I will personally send you back to your mother's house, and I will ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to take good care of you."

"Tomorrow?" An Xiu'er looked up at Zhang Zhen'an, and said, "Isn't it too early?"

"It's okay, I'll go back early." Zhang Zhen'an smiled at her, An Xiu'er still frowned, and said, "Why did you suddenly say you were leaving? Do you have something to hide from me?"

She's not an idiot, on the contrary, she's still a little clever. Thinking of him drinking alone last night, and suddenly saying that he wants to leave today, she felt a little scared inexplicably, "You won't come back if you won't leave?"

"Am I this kind of person?" Zhang Zhenan gave her a reassuring look, and said, "I just want to earn some money to build our house, so that you can live comfortably and save your daily life." I went to catch crickets in the grass at night, I feel so distressed seeing you like this, if I let others know, maybe they will call me incompetent behind my back."

"How come, Mr. Xianggong, you are so powerful, others praise you, and even I am envied by many girls in the village." An Xiu'er raised her head and said quickly, she is his number one supporter, but she can't hear him saying that she is not good.

"Yeah, so in order to make them envy you all the time, I have to work hard." Zhang Zhenan's deep pupils were tinged with warmth, he picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Okay, after talking so much, the food is cold gone."

"Eat more, I specially made the lion's head for you, would you like to taste it?" An Xiu'er picked up a lion's head and put it in Zhang Zhenan's bowl.

Zhang Zhenan took a good bite, "It's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious lion's head."

An Xiu'er laughed, and she could see the tenderness of her youngest daughter at a glance, "It's not, you said good things to make me happy again."

"It's not to make you happy, it's true, try it yourself, and see if this dish is the best in the world?" Zhang Zhenan also stretched out his chopsticks and put one in her bowl, An Xiu'er lowered her head and took a bite, When he looked up, there was a happy smile on his face, which made people feel warm just looking at it.

The next day, Zhang Zhen'an got up early, and An Xiu'er also got up early today, she was busy packing some of his usual clothes, and made some dry food for him to take with him.

When he was about to leave, An Xiu'er was still a little reluctant to part with the burden, "Sir, are you really going to the county seat? Have you found a way out? What can you do in two or three days?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already arranged everything." Zhang Zhenan took the bag in her hands and said, "Let's go, go to my father-in-law's house, I have to leave my treasure with him temporarily. "

What he said was humorous, An Xiu'er blushed, "What baby, if I were your baby, you would still be willing to go out."

"I'm doing it for our own good." Zhang Zhenan sighed, why was he willing to leave?

He has only been away for two or three days now, and he is already reluctant to give up. If he is away for more than half a year, what will she do?

Although An Xiu'er was reluctant to give up, she was also a sensible person. If Zhang Zhen'an wanted to go out, she would not block his way, but just obediently followed him and asked him to send her back to her natal home.

When they arrived at An's house, Mrs. An and Mrs. Liang heard from Zhang Zhen'an that he was going to the county town to do business for two days, and they wanted An Xiu'er to stay at her mother's house for two days. Naturally, they had no objection. The population of An's family is simple, and the two old people love each other An Xiu'er, there is no dispute between aunt and sister-in-law, it is best for An Xiu'er to settle down in the family.

Zhang Zhenan was also relieved, he took out some money from his bosom and stuffed it into Old Man An's hand, bowed deeply to the two elders, and said: "Please trouble my father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of Xiu'er, please take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"It's just a small matter, you can go at ease, we can't ask for this money." Father An said and handed the money back to Zhang Zhenan, and Mrs. Liang also signaled Zhang Zhenan to accept it.

"No, father-in-law and mother-in-law have to keep this money. It's not easy for you to take care of Xiu'er. I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring gifts for father-in-law and mother-in-law. You can buy some food yourself with this money so that Xiu'er can take care of her." .”

Zhang Zhen'an looked at An Xiu'er again while talking, but An Xiu'er turned her head away from him, Zhang Zhen'an smiled again, looked at An Tiemu, and said, "Second brother, Xiu'er is a woman, the dew is heavy at night, and there is a lot of poisonous gas in the wild , from now on, don’t take her to catch crickets at night.”

"Hey, I see." An Tiemu nodded again and again, averting his eyes in embarrassment.

Zhang Zhenan clasped hands with him again, then turned and left.

After he left, the two elders looked at An Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, why don't you go see him off."

"Yeah, look at how kind my uncle is to you." Dong looked at her enviously, and joked: "It's just been away for two days, and his cautious attitude seems like he's going to be away for several years."

An Xiu'er didn't speak, and looked sickly.

"Sister, are we still going to town today?" An Tiemu said from the side.

Yesterday was the market, and they also went to the town to sell crickets, but when they were in the town, they heard that there would be a cricket fight today, and people from the county would come over, and the winning crickets would probably sell for a lot of money , so today An Tiemu wants to take a few crickets that have just been trained to participate.

Among these few crickets, there are two top-notch ones and five mid-top ones. An Tiemu also hopes that one of them will win a good result in this competition, so that these few crickets can be sold for a good price.

As for the other crooked melons and split dates, they were sold in the town, and they were all sold very cheaply. As for the better ones, they were too cheap, and the two of them didn't really want to sell them. After all, they spent a lot of hard work, but when they were in the market, not many people knew about them, and they didn't sell anything. .

So An Xiu'er felt a little regretful, she would have picked these ordinary ones if she knew it earlier, one cost two cents, and if they worked harder all night, they might be able to catch dozens of them.

Of course, this is just thinking about it. It takes a lot of work and time to catch this thing, and it costs two cents a piece with a cage. It's really cheap, exceeding the price in An Xiuer's heart, but the buyer thinks this It's just a bug, and I can't bear to pay the high price.

Finally, I met a few knowledgeable people and sold a few middle-class crickets, and then I got the news. It turned out that it was not that the market of these crickets was not good, but that they did not find the right place to sell them in this market. , Of course, you can only meet those children who don't know how to do it.

As a result, the two of them did not sell the remaining ones, they brought them back, and planned to take them to the competition today, but Zhang Zhenan went to the county today, and An Tiemu was afraid that An Xiuer would be in a bad mood, so he asked more questions Tell her that if she doesn't want to go, then forget it.

However, An Xiu'er has always distinguished between public and private. Although she is reluctant to leave Zhang Zhen'an, going to the cricket fight can just divert her attention. This is something that was agreed yesterday. Naturally, she will not go back on her word and just wipe her face With a weary look on his face, he replied crisply: "Of course, second brother, are you ready? Where's the cricket?"

"It's all ready." An Tiemu was naturally happy to see that she was willing to go. If he went alone, he would really have some stage fright. One more person would also give him more courage.

"Okay then, let's go." An Xiu'er said and was about to leave. An Tiemu saw that she said that the wind was rain, so he ran to the backyard to get things. An Ronghe also clamored to go when he saw her. An Tiemu reprimanded him, "Kid, study hard at home."

When An Xiuer saw it, she giggled: "Second Brother, do you still remember? That's what Dad said about you before, and now you say that about Rong He."

"Hey, I'm just a farmer who relies on the sky for his livelihood. It's okay to play with these things. Rong He is a scholar, how can he play with these things." An Tiemu retorted.

"You're right, but Ronghe is on vacation. It's okay to let him go and have fun. You'll be fooled by studying at home every day." An Xiuer waved to An Ronghe and waited for him to leave. As soon as she approached, she rushed him upstairs, "Come on, I'll take you to the town to play."

An Ronghe looked up at An Xiu'er, happy in his heart, with his aunt protecting him, he could finally go out to play this time, An Tiemu had no choice but to look at An Xiu'er, "Father, what do you think?"

"If he wants to go, let him go and see it. It's normal for children to be playful." Father An said.

"Father, you have double standards." An Tiemu had no choice but to leave the door with his head raised in grief and indignation.

An Xiu'er and An Ronghe looked at each other, they covered their mouths and secretly smiled, and after saying hello to An Ronghe, they also followed him out.
