An Lao said earnestly, "Zhiyuan, I don't intend to put such a heavy burden on Ning Ning. I just need her to be able to support Yang Yang until Yang Yang gets better. When Yang Yang gets better, she can change the baton."
They all understand that a family property like the An family, after Gu Ning raised it up, was finally given to Yangyang, which is like picking peaches.
However, Elder An understood better that Gu Ning was not interested in the An family's huge family fortune.
Really not interested.
Otherwise, I would not have chosen not to settle down in the first place.
Even the reason why she returned to An's home now was because Gu Jianshe had made the right decision.
Only then did he come back with his father.
Zhou Zhiyuan hit the nail on the head, "Do you want me to protect Ning Ning these few years?",
Suddenly the true purpose was revealed.
Mr. An couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He nodded, "I do have this idea, but before today, I only dared to think about it. But after today, I think it can be implemented, so I came to talk to you.
"
The scene in the afternoon is the best proof.
He kept putting up with his second mistress to show off, not because he was incompetent, but because his branch was really broken.
He used to put all his efforts into cultivating An Mingzhi, but after this series of events, he discovered that An Mingzhi had been cultivated with all his efforts.
In Gu Ning's hands, he couldn't even last one round.
To be more precise, inside the third generation of Anjia.
All the young people were tied together, and none of them was Gu Ning's opponent.
This is a wolf!
A heir who can lead the An family from decline to glory!
He is also the heir that he has been thinking about for half his life.
Mr. An admitted that there is no descendant of the An family who is more outstanding than Gu Ning.
Zhou Zhiyuan knew that he was being taken advantage of by An Lao, and the same was true for Gu Ning, who was also being taken advantage of by An Lao.
When Gu Ning was being bullied, Mr. An was observing Gu Ning in a corner.
This gave him some inexplicable feelings.
After a while, Zhou Zhiyuan said, "Ning Ning is a very affectionate person. If you want her to be the heir to the An family, you must impress her with absolute sincerity, and there must be no calculations in the process."
Gu Ning is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. She has a pure temperament and can't get rid of the dirt in her eyes.
As for what Mr. An did, if he knew about it, the other party would probably throw it away.
Mr. An nodded, "I can guarantee that this will only happen once."
This time, he was not only observing Gu Ning, but also Zhou Zhiyuan.
Zhou Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and stood up, "Then don't let Ning Ning know about this first."
He was referring to the fact that he stood behind and protected Gu Ning for a while.
An Lao felt happy and said excitedly, "Don't worry, this is a secret between the two of us."
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded, "The tea is very good."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left An's study.
Mr. An sent him out and noticed that he didn't show any emotion when talking to Gu Ning, so he couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
This is the heir carefully cultivated by a big family!
Joy and anger are silent.
Waiting for Zhou Zhiyuan to leave.
Gu Ning couldn't help it anymore, "Grandpa, what did you say to Zhou Zhiyuan?"
Mr. An smiled and touched his beard, "Don't say it, don't say it."
The more he couldn't say it, the more Gu Ning was worried.
She couldn't help but be angry, "I brought Zhou Zhiyuan back."
The two of them were still hiding it from her!
Isn't this bullying?
It's like going to her as a middleman and having a dialogue with the manufacturer.
Mr. An just kept laughing, "I heard from your mother that you love strawberries? How about I ask your Uncle Zhang to bring you some strawberry seedlings and you can grow them yourself?"
Sure enough, these words instantly diverted Gu Ning's attention.
She had wanted to grow strawberries before. When she was in the Gu family, she had land, but she didn't have the conditions. In Zhao Guihua's words, she didn't even have enough to eat.
What's the use of growing a few strawberries?
It's better to plant a handful of vegetables so that the whole family can have food for themselves.
Gu Ning decisively agreed, "Okay, I will plant a circle of strawberries around the flower bed."
She forgot that this was no small project, which meant that she would spend the next few days at Anjia.
Mr. An agreed with a smile.
Not far away.
Ding Shuli couldn't help but feel dazzled when she saw this scene. She pinched An Jiao's inner thigh angrily, "Look at Gu Ning, he's looking at you. Why don't you know how to please your grandpa?"
Gu Ning was picked up halfway, and An Jiao grew up beside the old man.
I have never seen her and the old man so affectionate.
An Jiao took a breath and looked away at the painful pain in her pinched thigh, "Mom, I'm afraid of my grandpa. It's not the first day you've known about it."
It should be said that children who grow up in An family are afraid.
Even An Mingzhi, who was the best in the past, did not dare to breathe in front of the old man.
Just because, afraid.
Mr. An's reputation is so great that they have lived under each other's halo since childhood. They are proud to be Mr. An's descendants, but at the same time they admire and fear him.
Because, for the younger generations of the An family, Mr. An is a mountain that they cannot overcome.
It is their lifelong goal.
After hearing this answer, Ding Shuli didn't say anything. She looked at Gu Ning and Mr. An who were smiling and laughing, and she was jealous to death.
However, she knew that neither envy nor jealousy could come.
Because she is also afraid of Mr. An!
I could only look away bitterly and put all my energy into mahjong.
Reprimand Fang Qiu.
outside room.
After Mr. An asked Gu Ning what happened in the morning, he sighed, "That child named Wu Xiuling, did he get to this point because of his surname Xu?"
Gu Ning nodded.
"After Gu Yao was kicked out by the Liao family, she has been with Xu?"
Gu Ning then nodded, wondering why the old man asked this?
Did he feel pity for Gu Yao?
Mr. An continued to ask, "Did Gu Yao and the person named Xu get together first, or did Wu Xiuling get together with the person named Xu first?"
Gu Ning thought for a while and said, "Wu Xiuling, she and Xu Maoxue are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and studied together."
Hear this.
Mr. An sighed, "When you go to deliver food to Wu Xiuling in the afternoon, ask her if she still wants to go to school? If she still wants to go to school, I can support her."
"grandfather?"
Gu Ning was a little confused as to why the old man would say this.
Mr. An raised his hand and touched her hair, "Ning Ning, you did the right thing this morning. Your choice to help Wu Xiuling is equivalent to giving her a second life."
He is a person who has been through it and can understand better.
If Gu Ning chose to refuse to help Wu Xiuling in the morning, there would be only a way of no return, or a dead end, for Wu Xiuling.
But Gu Ning chose to help, which was equivalent to saving her life.
Gu Ning thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Based on how frustrated Wu Xiuling was at that time, she must have thought about taking her own life.
"This matter was ultimately caused by Gu Yao. She is the source of evil." Mr. An pondered, "Although I kicked Gu Yao out of the An family, I have to admit that Gu Yao still has the blood of the An family.
, she did immoral things outside, and it was the An family that was ultimately affected."
He believed in cause and effect.
"I don't want to help Gu Yao, but I can help the victim. Just ask Wu Xiuling. She can go to school or do other things. As long as it's within my ability, I can help her.
accomplish."
Gu Ning helped Gu Yao pay back part of the cause and effect, and he helped Gu Yao pay back the other part.
Not for Gu Yao, but for themselves, so that they can have a clear conscience.
Gu Ning nodded, "Okay, when I deliver the food, I'll ask Wu Xiuling."
At this moment, she could understand why Mr. An was so famous that no one in Anzhou City knew him.
Apart from marriage matters, Anlao is really sober in other matters, has a great thinking and is a very decent person.
Gu Ning was sure that she would definitely learn a lot during her time with An Lao.
Seeing that she agreed, Mr. An was relieved. He was about to go to the kitchen to explain, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Is Gu Yao in prison now?"
Gu Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
This is nothing to hide.
Mr. An was startled for a moment, then he murmured, "That's fine, that child is really crooked and needs to be educated with ironclad methods."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
As soon as he leaves.
Gu Jianshe and Liu Shuzhen also came over, "Gu Yao was arrested?"
Gu Ning has been hiding this matter from her parents.
Gu Ning didn't expect that they also heard it. She nodded, "I was arrested, but I won't be sentenced. Xu Maoxue went to kill Wu Xiuling. He did it alone and did not involve Gu Yao."
Liu Shuzhen didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, her voice dropped, "Actually, it would be better if she was caught."
As a mother, Gu Yao's biological mother, she felt guilty for having such thoughts.
Gu Jianshe didn't say anything. He said calmly, "From now on, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with us."
Gu Ning looked at her parents who suddenly lost interest in farming, and she sighed. Gu Yao had an influence on them after all.
Although he said it hard in his mouth, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Gu Ning didn't say anything, but her arm was suddenly hugged by someone, "Sister, I only have you as my sister."
Yangyang raised his head, looked at Gu Ning, and said seriously.
Unlike his parents, he only recognized Gu Ning as his sister.
Gu Ning couldn't help but smile, feeling warm in her heart. She raised her hand and pinched Yangyang's face, "Okay, I know that my brother loves me the most."
It's been like this for two lifetimes.
Yangyang nodded and whispered, "Sister, just wait for me for a few years, wait for me for a few years, and I will grow up soon."
I can protect you.
His voice was very low, like a mosquito, and Gu Ning couldn't hear him clearly.
She couldn't help but ask, "Yangyang, what did you just say?"
Yangyang grinned, showing his glutinous rice teeth, "Is it nothing?" He jumped up and down in a rare childlike manner, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished the homework my grandpa assigned me. Sister, I'm going to do my homework.
.”
Gu Ning watched him leave with a rare smile.
Due to poor health since childhood, Yangyang became sensible early. When other people's children were naughty, he was sensible and helped the family with some tasks within his ability.
When I reach school age, I never need to be pushed by my family for homework assigned by the school.
I am like a small alarm clock, doing my homework on time.
In fact, this can be seen. No wonder he was able to get a doctorate and become a scientist in his previous life.
…
kitchen.
Mr. An told Mother Wang, "Let's prepare the New Year's Eve dinner in advance." He raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's best to have dinner at six o'clock, so that Ning Ning can deliver the meal to others.
It’s not too late.”
Wang Ma let out a cry, and her busy hands suddenly paused, "Old man, I'm afraid I don't have enough time. In previous years, the New Year's Eve dinner was only eaten after eight o'clock. There are still a lot of unprepared things!"
It's already five o'clock.
Mr. An, "Let's make as many dishes as we can. The dishes that are too complicated -" I originally wanted to say no, but then I thought about it. Gu Ning and the others came back to celebrate the New Year for the first time this year. There were many dishes, and they all wanted to do it.
Never tasted it.
He hesitated and said, "Forget it, I'll cook the dishes that are too complicated first and have them as a supper tonight."
Wu Ma nodded in surprise, but her heart became heavier and heavier. This old man valued Gu Ning and his family more and more.
Even the time of the New Year's Eve dinner and the dishes I have eaten for many years are willing to be changed.
As soon as An Lao left.
Ding Shuli twisted her waist and came in, "What did the old man just want to do with you?"
Her eyes were like radar, and she would not miss any moment when the old man was alone with others.
Wu Ma repeated what the old man had told her before.
Ding Shuli was immediately furious, "You are such a sweetheart! For Gu Ning, our whole family has to change our habits for so many years!"
"What habit?"
An Jiao, who came to the kitchen to look for sweet potato dumplings, asked casually.
Ding Shuli, "Eat, eat, eat. You know how to eat all day long. Your grandfather even moved the meal time earlier because of Gu Ning."
"That's good, I happen to be hungry too."
At noon, she just went to watch the excitement and didn't eat much at all.
Ding Shuli was so angry at her daughter. She didn't know when her daughter stopped being with her and she seemed to be a completely different person.
I used to be very strong, but now I'm a loser.
An Jiao was not angry after being pinched. She bit into a ball and suddenly said, "Mom, don't argue with Gu Ning. They are the blood of the An family."
Her voice was extremely low for the last few words, like a mosquito buzzing, and Ding Shuli didn't even hear them clearly.
"What did you say? If I don't argue with Gu Ning, what do you have to do with me?" She heard the first part and replied angrily.
An Jiao sighed, her previous sharpness and squeamishness seemed to have been put away all of a sudden.
"I don't care about you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.
Ding Shuli was so angry that she happened to meet Liu Shuzhen who came to the kitchen to take a look. She said in a strange tone, "Some people are special! They are born with a good life. For some people, the old man would even eat in advance without even checking what time it was.
Is it still done?"
Why doesn’t Liu Shuzhen understand?
Only her daughter had to deliver meals to the hospital, so she ate in advance.
She didn't want to argue with Ding Shuli because she was celebrating the New Year. She just washed her hands and said, "I'll do whatever work is left unfinished."
Ding Shuli was choked, "You are quite self-aware, Mother Wu, give her the rest of your words."
Gu Ning suddenly appeared, "Then what do you do? Are you only responsible for eating?"
She asked coldly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ning suddenly appeared in the kitchen and was so angry with her.
Ding Shuli glanced at her, "But it's because of you that I eat early."
Gu Ning didn't care about this, she held on a little bit and said, "The meal is ready, do you want to eat it?"
How would Ding Shuli answer this?
Of course she eats it.
However, she knew Gu Ning's routine, and as soon as she ate it, she fell into Gu Ning's routine.
Ding Shuli remained silent, "I want you to take care of it!"
He actually started cheating.
Gu Ning pressed Liu Shuzhen's hand, "Mom, don't be in a hurry yet." Then, he said to Wu's mother, "Go and call everyone in the house who can breathe, except the old man.
.”
Wu Ma was stunned, "Miss Gu Ning?"
What is this doing?
"go!"
Gu Ning only had one word, and in a calm tone, Wu Ma paused and immediately followed the instructions.
Ten minutes later.
Everyone was in the kitchen except Mr. An.
Gu Ning glanced at it and asked, "Wu Ma, what work is left to be done?"
Wu Ma was confused, "The lotus roots were not fried, the braised pork was not cut, the fish was not washed, the beans were not peeled, the noodles were not rolled, the white fungus was not cut, the radish and cabbage were not washed, the chestnuts were not peeled, the dumpling fillings were not chopped, and there was no
Bag."
After Gu Ning listened, he glanced at it and said, "Did you hear everything? Come here and help."
Gu Jianshe and the others were accustomed to listening to their daughter's words, but they didn't refute. They came in and started working.
On the other hand, An Mingzhi was reading a book. When he was called over, he was still doing kitchen work. He was a little unhappy and asked, "Gu Ning, what are you doing?"
"Cooking!" Gu Ning said coldly.
"What does this have to do with me?"
An Mingzhi was confused. He had never been in the kitchen in so many years!
During the Chinese New Year, you don’t eat ready-made food.
Gu Ning raised her eyelashes, stared at him, and said in a cold tone, "Do you want to eat?"
At this, An Mingzhi was at a loss for words, "Who doesn't want to eat the New Year's Eve dinner?"
He asked back.
"Since we're eating, let's chop the dumpling fillings."
Gu Ning put down a sentence and said, "If you don't chop it, you won't have anything to eat at night."
These words made An Mingzhi stunned, and Ding Shuli next to him couldn't help but said, "Gu Ning, are you going to shake things up?"
Gu Ning sneered, "Isn't this what you want?
Didn’t you say you asked my mother to cook New Year’s Eve dinner? Since everyone eats it, we must cook it together. Could it be that you just want to ask my mother to cook it, but you only eat ready-made food? "
"No, no, you won't be so shameless, will you?"
Gu Ning really dared to say that he treated Ding Shuli without any mercy.
Ding Shuli was so angry that her face turned green. She had never seen someone so arrogant.
Unfortunately, she couldn't refute it because she was the one who brought up the topic.
It's like lifting a rock and hitting yourself in the foot.
She cursed and rolled up her sleeves, kneading the dough and rolling out the dough, "Just do it!"
"Mom, why didn't I finish my homework?"
An Mingzhi couldn't help but said something.
Ding Shuli paused her hands and said, "You are doing your homework as a matter of business. They say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so hurry up and do your own thing."
When she said this, her peripheral vision was still scanning Gu Ning, and she was a little afraid of Gu Ning.
Sure enough, Gu Ning, who was busy working, looked up at him and asked, "Do you have to hand in your homework tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year, what homework is due?
An Mingzhi was speechless for a moment. After a while, he held back two words, "No."
Gu Ning sneered and chopping the knife on the chopping board with the knife standing upright, "Then why don't you chop the dumpling stuffing?"
An Mingzhi was frightened and trembled. Without any resistance, he took the kitchen knife from Gu Ning's hand and started chopping the dumpling fillings.
This job is the most laborious.
After a while, An Mingzhi's arm became sore.
I wanted to be lazy, but as soon as I raised my head, I bumped into Gu Ning, whose clear eyes immediately put my little thoughts back.
Even An, the most delicate member of the An family, is busy in the kitchen.
Suddenly, the entire kitchen was really busy, with an indescribable harmony.
Uncle Zhang took a look and went to the study on the second floor under the pretext of going upstairs to move a stool.
"Old man, you haven't seen how fierce Miss Gu Ning is. Even Mingzhi doesn't dare to fart in front of her."
Mr. An took off his reading glasses and looked up, "Oh? What did Ning Ning do?"
The tone was extremely interesting.
"You don't know that Comrade Ding ordered Comrade Liu to cook. Then Ning Ning became angry and called everyone in the family to the kitchen to cook."
"Mingzhi was not happy, so Ning Ning asked, would you like to eat?"
"Mingzhi turned into a quail in an instant and was chopping dumpling fillings."
This made An Lao startled. He walked out of the study and took a look at the kitchen downstairs.
Sure enough, as the other party said, the entire kitchen was busier than ever.
Everyone is very busy.
Mr. An couldn't help but laugh, "That's how it should be. Ning Ning did the right thing."
If Ning Ning hadn't been a more fierce kid, he might never have seen such a scene in his life.
Lao Zhang next to him also laughed, "Well, seeing how happy you are, I'm going to do some work too!" He raised the small bench in his hand, "See? The kitchen can't even fit in, so I'll bring my own small bench.
.”
Mr. An became interested, took off his reading glasses completely and put them on the table, "I'll go with you."
Wait for An Laoyi to arrive in the kitchen.
The people who were cooking in full swing suddenly became inexplicably quiet.
An Mingzhi felt a little aggrieved. He raised his trembling arms and said, "Grandpa!"
He has never cooked before.
Mr. An deliberately walked up to An Mingzhi and took a look at the chopped dumpling fillings on the chopping board.
"The chop is good. I want to eat two more dumplings tonight."
With just one sentence, An Mingzhi felt as if the soreness and swelling all over his body had suddenly disappeared.
"Grandpa, let me chop more."
For the first time in so many years, he heard the old man praise him.
Mr. An smiled, patted his shoulder, and walked to Gu Ning's side.
Gu Ning originally thought that Mr. An would scold her after knowing that she was so aggressive.
"Ning Ning, you can stay at home for a while in the future."
When she is around, the whole house feels lively.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "I am a very fierce person, so I have to make them obedient."
When she said this, she specifically glanced at Ding Shuli and An Mingzhi.
They looked a little uncomfortable when Gu Ning looked at them.
An Lao meant something, "You can just go home. If anyone doesn't listen to you, I will help you chase them away!"
Now, Ding Shuli and the others were dumbfounded.
This is really the imperial envoy who has taken Shang Fang's sword. No matter how you look at it, it is a sure-win scenario.
[The author has something to say]
Isolated at home, three shifts in one, I feel so peaceful.
