An An touched the pocket watch hanging on her chest and said crisply, "Let's go!"

  After arriving at the big courtyard, they split into two paths. An'an returned home, while Sun teacher went back to prepare her wedding dress.

  When An'an arrived home, he found that his old father was busy with joy, getting married. The date was set relatively urgently, and the family couldn't prepare anything, so he simply bought some red paper from the supply and marketing society and found an old craftsman to cut a lot of it. Look! The whole house is full of them.

  An'an pushed open the door and took a look. Good grief! The whole house was red, which was quite frightening! An'an's mouth twitched, had her dad really covered every visible spot in the house with red stickers?

  An'an put her school bag on the table, hugged a porcelain vase and took a deep breath before speaking, "Dad! What else is missing? Tell me, let's see if I can help." Gu Wei Qiang was sticking window paper at the moment. Hearing An'an's question, he turned around, "I've packed most of the things at home, but the sewing machine and watch won't be delivered until tonight. Let's see how Aunt Jie Xiang is doing?" On Gu Wei Qiang's side, it was mostly large items, while on Jie Xiang's side, although they were small items, there were many types. If one item was missing, it would be embarrassing at the wedding scene.

  An An glanced around the room and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look at Aunt Juxiang's place!"

  Chrysanthemum fragrance just happened to be walking in from outside with big and small bags, loudly saying "What are you looking at?"

  "Oh! Aunt Jiu Xiang, you've come just in time. I was just about to go to your place to see if there's anything else I can help with!"

  "We've bought everything, I and Xia ran to many places, we've got all the categories on our list, but the money! It's not a small amount, only 42.33 yuan left." As she said that, she put down the big and small bags on the table, and from behind her came out a little head, it was Xia! Xia had even more, with four bags in hand, even his neck wasn't spared by Ju Xiang, there was still one hanging there!

  An'an opened the bag and took a look, there were melon seeds, sugar, eggs, red dates and so on. Everything was well-prepared, and judging from the arrangement of these items, it seemed that a lot of effort had been put into this.

  An An smiled and gave Ju Xiang a hug, "Thank you, Auntie Ju Xiang!", of course not forgetting Ban Xia. As soon as she finished hugging, Ban Xia's eyes landed on the pendant watch hanging from An An's neck, and she praised, "An An, this pendant watch is really beautiful!"

  An'an lowered her head, took out the pocket watch and swung it back and forth in front of Xiaxia, looking pleased. "My mom gave it to me this afternoon." It wasn't that An'an was shallow, but rather, she was a 17- or 18-year-old girl who loved receiving gifts, which also showed that Teacher Sun valued her as a student.

  Gu Weiqiang and Ju Xiang stopped what they were doing as soon as they heard, Gu Weiqiang jumped down from the window, picked up his pocket watch and sighed, "This Shanghai-brand pocket watch is also quite old, not cheap at all." It wasn't something he could afford twenty years ago, and compared to the wristwatch someone had brought for him, the value of these two was immediately apparent.

  Not to mention anything else, just the value of the sewing machine and watch he had someone buy for him added together is probably not even as valuable as this pocket watch in front of me.

  An An knew that the pocket watch was valuable, but she didn't think it would be so expensive. She said weakly, "Why don't I return this pocket watch to Teacher Sun?" She hadn't wanted it! For some reason, after some back and forth, she ended up taking it. Hmm! She had also been forced into it.

  Gu Wei Qiang waved his hand, "Just accept the gift your mother gave you for our meeting and be good to her from now on."

  "Ah, yes! Returning it to them would be a bit impolite after all. As an elder's gift, it can't be refused. You take good care of it and when Teacher Sun enters your household, treat her well." Chuhua had originally been worried that this Teacher Sun, with unknown roots and background, might bully the children after marrying into their family, but this action of hers had already given Chuhua a very favorable impression.

  Something so valuable is given away just like that, it shows that in Sun teacher's eyes, Anan is also quite important, otherwise such a precious gift would not be given.

  Actually, An'an is a bit clueless when it comes to interpersonal relationships. After being comforted by her father and Aunt Huixiang, she finally put her mind at ease. "Then I'll keep it for now, and later when my dad and Sun teacher have another child, I'll give the pocket watch to my younger brother or sister."

  This sentence made Gu Weiqiang's face flush red, and he squeezed out a word after half a day, "I discussed with Teacher Sun, we already have three kids of yours, that's enough." This sentence means that he and Teacher Sun will not have any more children, and Anan and the other two are his children.

  An'an felt a little moved, she didn't know that this was her own father and Teacher Sun safeguarding the rights of her three siblings. An'an had always been the kind of person who would return kindness with even more kindness, treating others with triple the kindness they showed her. Human relationships are about interaction and mutual understanding after all.

  "An'an comforted him, 'Dad, you don't have to consider us. If Teacher Sun's physical condition allows it, we all support you having another child.'"

  This is true, Teacher Sun was married into their family later on, to have a blood relative, for Teacher Sun, it's absolutely the most important thing.

  Ji Xiang beside him also looked surprised, "Qiang Zi, you're still young, this problem needs to be carefully considered."

  Gu Weiqiang put down all the red papers in his hand, and then checked everything in the bag again without lifting his head. "I discussed it with Teacher Sun, we both agree, don't want the child."

  This was something the two of them had discussed and agreed upon long before they got married. Both Mr. Sun and Gu Wei Qiang were of the opinion that they didn't want any more children. If they hadn't had a child together, they could have devoted all their energy to An An. However, if they were to have another child, it would be hard to say whether they could still do so. People always say that parents can be fair and impartial, but in reality, it's difficult to achieve this, especially when the new addition is a latecomer; it's inevitable that there will be favoritism.

  Gu Weiqiang's opinion was firm and resolute, leaving no room for maneuvering.

  Chrysanthemum fragrance patted An'an's shoulder and whispered, "An'an, you have a good father and an even better stepmother. Be sure to take good care of them from now on!" It was truly rare for parents in a remarried family to be like this.

  An nodded quickly and said, "I understand!", The efforts of Gu Wei Qiang and Sun teacher, An didn't not understand, emotions also need to be managed, even between relatives, these things accumulated one by one, aren't they true feelings?, Even if there is no blood relationship.

  Jian An understood and nodded, then Chrysanthemum Fragrance handed over some more things before leaving the Gu's residence.

  After Chrysanthemum left, only two people were left in the house, Dongdong and Jiangjiang had not returned from school yet. Anan suddenly asked very seriously, "Dad, don't you regret it?", after all, for Gu Weiqiang, having another child at his current age was not a problem at all.

  After Gu Weiqiang finished dividing the things, he looked up at An'an. The face full of wrinkles had a few smiles on it, looking a bit silly. He said proudly, "In my life as Gu Weiqiang, having you three siblings is already the greatest fortune!"

  This is the truth, in Gu Weiqiang's eyes, An'an and Dongdong used to be his pride, later on, Jiangjiang joined halfway, although Jiangjiang was a latecomer to this family, but Gu Weiqiang has always been impartial, it can be said that he also regarded Jiangjiang as a member of the family.

  And these three children, he had already used up all his strength to protect them, no need for another one to come, although this word was a bit selfish for Teacher Sun, but where is the person who is not selfish? Gu Wei Qiang dared to guarantee that as long as there were only these three children, he could give all his love to these three children.

  But if there is a fourth child, still his and Sun's teacher's child, he dares not guarantee that he will be so fair, because that would be the eldest, whether it's a son or daughter, it will disrupt the current peace in the family.

  There's another important thing, that is he's not young anymore, now he's almost middle-aged, and An'an and Dongdong are growing up, he can't be so selfish, giving birth to an old youngest child, later when he can't afford to raise him, he can only hand over his younger siblings to An'an and them, let the older sister or brother raise the younger children, this is not fair to An'an and them.

  Because the child is born to him and Teacher Sun, but after they get old, they will inevitably rely on Anan and others for a living. It is their responsibility to support the elderly, but there is no responsibility to support Lao Yao.

  In this regard, Gu Wei Qiang has always been very clear.

  An An couldn't describe her emotions, or maybe she had some understanding of why her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, only wanted one daughter, even after the country's two-child policy was implemented. For them, having only one child meant they gave all their love to that child.

  But if there is an addition, some of Lao Da's love will inevitably be transferred to Lao Er.

  But Gu Weiqiang was not in this state of mind at the time. If it were ten years ago, Gu Weiqiang would definitely not have had such thoughts. On the contrary, he would still be like all fathers and have another child. Only a big man who has brought up several children can understand this feeling.

  The balance at home is what he has been trying hard to maintain, and it cannot be disrupted just because another child is coming.

  An An suddenly stepped forward, gave Gu Wei a big hug, her eyes were red and excited, "Dad, you are the best dad in the world." No objection was allowed.

  At this age, who doesn't want their own children to be better and more numerous? Which family doesn't hope for more sons? Only Gu Weiqiang gave An'an all the paternal love, even putting Dongdong second.

  Dongdong is also a good brother, when something happens, he always puts An's safety first.

  As for Jiang Jiang, it goes without saying, An An felt extremely fortunate to be able to come to such a family.

  Don't look at Gu Weiqiang being eloquent outside, but among his loved ones, he is really not good with words. He just patted Anan's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Dad is also proud to have you guys."

  The next day was the wedding day of Gu Weiqiang and Sun teacher. Since their house was too small, if there were guests coming, they wouldn't have enough seats. After discussing with Anan, Gu Weiqiang decided to put the borrowed tables and stools in the big yard downstairs. The big yard was spacious enough, so Gu Weiqiang set up four tables there, and one more table at his own home, making a total of five tables.

  They actually moved to the county town later, and there were not many relatives in the county town. The four tables in the big courtyard were mainly for colleagues of Gu Weiqiang's transportation team and neighbors around this area.

  As for Teacher Sun's side, there were no guests at all. The matter of Teacher Sun getting married was not even mentioned to colleagues at school, and he only asked the old principal for a three-day leave, which was considered as his honeymoon.

  To tell the truth, Teacher Sun also has relatives on his side, namely Secretary Ding and Auntie, who brought Ding Junbai along to attend the wedding. It's got to be said that just Secretary Ding alone had enough weight to intimidate a whole neighborhood in the compound.

  It's been so many years since they've all been in Taoson County, and the first time they see Secretary Ding is when he comes to attend someone else's wedding, this is a huge signal!

  The neighbors with big yards sighed, "Oh my goodness! The Gu family actually has a connection with Director Ding, otherwise why would they come to attend the wedding."

  The arrival of Secretary Ding seemed like a signal, giving the neighbors in the big courtyard an unbearable signal, and the people around them became more and more kind to Gu Weiqiang and his family.

  This time, the most people came from Gu Weiqiang's former colleagues in the transportation team. There were four tables set up in the big yard, three of which were occupied by the transportation team. In fact, there weren't that many people, but nowadays eating at a banquet is always with family members. Basically, one table setting, you take a look, they are all families coming to eat together, that is to say, five or ten yuan in lucky money for a family of four or more.

  So it turned out that the tables prepared by Gu Weiqiang were not enough. As Gu Weiqiang's third brother, Gu Weimin, how could he let go and not care? He took a look at the tables and immediately rushed home, pulling two more tables and several stools with a cart.

  It's barely enough, thanks to Gu Weiqiang and his family who have always been generous with their food preparation, otherwise the temporary addition of two tables of dishes would not be enough!

  Where are Anan and the others now? Of course, they are in the house. Gu Wei just went to pick up his bride and bring her back home. The two of them are now bowing to Grandma who is sitting on the high platform!

  It turns out that Gu Weiqiang's side didn't inform the people of Gujia Village about their marriage, so there are no elderly relatives on his side. Sun teacher's side is the same, with only one grandma. As for Ding Secretary and Ding Dabao, they sat aside smiling. An'an got up early in the morning, busy for a long time, but that mouth of hers just wouldn't shut.

  Today is her father's big happy event, and she also dressed up specially, wearing a white shirt. Originally, she planned to wear a bright red one, but then thought that today was Teacher Sun's wedding, and if she wore red, it would clash with the bride's dress.

  She changed into a white one, after all it's a big happy occasion, wearing clothes that are too dull wouldn't be good, as for Dongdong and Jiangjiang they dressed up even more stylishly, the two kids each wore a dress shirt, their clothes were also made from the same fabric as Anan's quilt cover, the old tailor worked on them for two days before finally finishing them.

  It can be said that all three siblings look good-looking, and with their neatly dressed shirts, they are truly stylish.

  Needless to say, Gu Weiqiang and Sun teacher were the main characters today. Gu Weiqiang wore a suit, while Sun teacher wore a red wedding dress. Her skin was originally pale, but with the help of the matchmaker, she applied some rouge, making her look radiant and beautiful.

  The two of them took the tea and paid their respects to Grandma, who was sitting in the main seat. Perhaps because today was a big happy occasion, Grandma's spirits were also lifted. She smiled and handed over the tea water, took a sip, and then pulled out two large red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to the newlyweds. With deep feeling, she said, "Hongmei, you've suffered for a lifetime."

  These words made Teacher Sun's tears fall suddenly, she shook her head, "Don't be sad!", because now it was Sun Hongmei, and also Ding teacher's cousin, when facing others, she had to consider her identity, she couldn't even call out a single "mom".

  Grandma didn't mind these things, her aged face was full of kindness, smiling and pulling over Sun Teacher to hand over to Gu Wei Qiang. She said seriously, "Master Gu, Hong Mei is like my own daughter, from now on I'll leave her in your care, you must treat her well."

  Gu Weiqiang tightly grasped Sun teacher's hand, looking quite forceful, but Sun teacher didn't make a sound, and instead had a smile on his face.

  "Old lady, rest assured, from now on I'll make sure Red Plum has enough to eat and will never go hungry again." In this era, the food in one's mouth is the most important thing. Gu Wei Qiang was able to say such words, showing that he had put Sun Teacher in his heart. He looked at Sun Teacher again, making a sincere promise, "Red Plum, rest assured, I'll treat you well." Apart from ensuring Sun Teacher had enough to eat, the most important thing was treating her well.

  This is Gu Weiqiang's promise as a man, a husband, to his future daughter-in-law. Although Gu Weiqiang is not eloquent and does not have a glib tongue, he will make every effort to fulfill the promises he makes.

  His character is also known by people in the house.

  An An raised her eyes, looking at Gu Wei Qiang and Sun teacher, feeling truly happy from the heart. She didn't see Lu Yan standing by the window, his eyes filled with a deep sense of grievance. He had been there for half a day already, but An An hadn't even noticed him, nor had she greeted him. It was as if he didn't exist in her eyes!

  What kind of evil is this! In just one day, this girl has already started to turn against me.

  Taking advantage of Gu Weiqiang's distraction while talking to the bride and Ah Nai, Lu Yan made his way through the crowd and appeared in front of An An with a super-large face, startling her. Her eyes widened in fright as she scolded, "Brother Yan, you're scaring people on purpose!"

  Lu Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said in a low, sulky tone, "Who made you not see me and ignore me?" To be honest, Lu Yan was quite handsome, with a sharp jawline and chiseled features that would normally make him a stunning young man. But at this moment, he looked more like a resentful wife, exuding a full-blown aura of grievance.

  Especially with that melancholic gaze, when looking at An An, An An even had a slight illusion that he himself became the unfaithful husband.

  An An wrapped her arms around her elbows, rubbing the goosebumps on her skin. She leaned in close to Lu Yan's ear and whispered, "Brother Yan, don't scare me like that." The two of them were whispering to each other as if no one was around, but they couldn't help but make the other elders in the room laugh. There weren't any outsiders in the house, just their own family members: Gu Wei Qiang, Sun teacher, Ah Nai, Ding Shuji and his wife, plus Gu Wei Min's family of three, Gu Hua Zi's family of three, and Lang Lao Yezi. They were all their own people after all!

  Gu Huazi and his family knew about the relationship between Lu Yan, An An, and Ding Shuji. When they went to report to the transportation team, those venomous eyes saw that An An and Lu Yan had a deep affection for each other. It seems that from now on, Lu Yan will be Gu's designated son-in-law.

  No, let the old men who came to see it every time Lu Yan looked at An An, this young man's eyes were shining with light, still green light, really like a wolf, can't wait to take An An away on the spot, they are all covered up tightly, these old guys have been young before, how can they not understand the gaze in Lu Yan's eyes.

  But no one saw through it, they just smiled and watched the commotion.

  It's possible that the people in the house didn't know, except for Gu Weimin and his family. They looked at Lu Yan with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, then glanced at Gu Weiqiang, who was beaming with joy today. Even Gu Weiqiang, who usually didn't give Lu Yan a warm welcome, had a hint of a smile on his face, clearly indicating that as the old father, he had tacitly accepted Lu Yan's presence.

  Although this is not good for the girl's reputation, Gu Weimin and Li Yue'e exchanged a glance. The fathers of both families tacitly consented to the existence of this matter, so as the third uncle and third aunt, there was no need to say more.

  It was the three kids at home, Dongdong, Jiangjiang and Ding Junbai, who hadn't seen each other for a while, were very affectionate, and the adults didn't restrain them, letting them make noise.

  As it was a joyful occasion and the bride, after paying respects to her elders, Ms. Sun was arranged to be inside the house. An'an and the others, as children, each held a basin of water or a wooden comb, and handed them over to Ms. Sun. In front of everyone, she smiled brightly and called out, "Mom!"

  Ms. Sun took the water from An'an, took a light sip, and her expression softened slightly. She smiled shallowly, "Ah, good girl." After that, she took the red envelope from Aunt Ding's hand and gave it to An'an and the other children. It was obviously a big red envelope. She pulled one out and handed it over, promising, "From now on, you are my dear daughter Sun Hongmei." An'an took the red envelope and deliberately kissed Ms. Sun's face with a crisp sound, "Thank you, Mom!"

  Ding Auntie and Chrysanthemum Fragrance saw this too, and they couldn't help but smile. The stepmother was able to get along well with her stepdaughter, and they were happier than anyone else. Ding Auntie was considered a relative of Teacher Sun's side, while Chrysanthemum Fragrance and Li Yue'e were considered relatives of Gu Wei Qiang's side, having watched An An grow up. Chrysanthemum Fragrance had always treated An An like her own daughter, and she instructed, "An An! From now on, be good to your mother and Teacher Sun too. If you or your siblings do anything wrong, don't hesitate to scold them."

  The meaning of Ju Xiang's words, everyone understood that is to treat Sun teacher as her own mother and Sun teacher also treats An An as her own daughter.

  An'an and Teacher Sun exchanged a glance, and simultaneously nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, we'll definitely get it."

  With these words, Ju Xiang's heart was put at ease, and Li Yue Jia was the same. Although she was a distant aunt, if compared in terms of closeness, Li Yue Jia might not be as close to An An as Ju Xiang was. However, Li Yue Jia wasn't a bad person either, and seeing An An find a good stepmother also made her happy from the bottom of her heart.

  An'an finished pouring the tea, and it was Dongdong's and Jiangjiang's turn. The two little kids threw away what they were holding in their hands, took over the tea, and respectfully handed it to Teacher Sun, saying "Mom, have some tea." Being called "mom" by three children in a row, Teacher Sun felt warmth in her heart! It was like hugging a warm quilt on a cold winter's day, making her feel extremely comfortable.

  She took the tea, her expression softened a bit, and looked at Dongdong and Jiangjiang with even more affection. She smiled and said, "Ah, good boy!" As soon as she called them that, Dongdong and Jiangjiang's faces turned bright red with embarrassment. After receiving the red envelope, they were so shy that they hid behind Anan.

  An'an and the others, as step-sons and step-daughters, finished their tea, and in order, it was Ding Junbai's turn, as well as Gu Chengcheng and Bàn Xià's. They also presented tea to Teacher Sun one by one. Bàn Xià cleverly pulled out a wooden comb and handed it over. The several children each received a big red envelope.

  The things in the bridal chamber have been settled, and then the bride will come out with the groom to toast everyone. An'an and Banzia are temporary workers, holding a tray of wine behind them, following closely behind the newlyweds, refilling their cups in time.

  Lu Yan looked even more melancholic, he came specifically to see An An today, but this little girl was busy beyond measure, and only said one sentence to him, without even giving him a glance.

  Lu Yan's heart was unbearable.

  He silently moved a small stool and sat in the corner, not even eating the dishes on the table. His eyes never left An's body from head to toe, which made Lang Lao Ye so angry that he kicked Lu Yan's body with one foot when no one was around, lowering his voice, "You useless thing, quickly put away your resentful energy." Even a few meters away! This old man felt embarrassed!

  Lu Yan sighed, his expression melancholic. "Old master, you don't understand the bitterness in my heart." He had been coming for so long, but An An didn't even give him a proper look once, it was suffocating him to death.

  Old Master Lang's hand stretched out halfway, wanting to pull Lu Yan's ear, but thinking again, with so many people watching! He gave this stinky boy some face, and whispered, "Go to the station and pick up Old Li."

  Lu Yan's spirit lifted somewhat, he raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Lao Li came from the capital? ", how did he not receive any news at all, the old man had kept it really tight.

  Old Master Lang nodded, "I also just found out this morning. I reckon it's almost time for you to bring Old Li here too. Anyway, come take a look at his dear little apprentice." As for Dongdong, the gatekeeper disciple, Old Master Li truly doted on him.

  Let all the old masters be amazed.

  Lu Yan got things done and walked to An An's side, tugging at her sleeve. "Come with me to pick up Old Li?" Today was a big day for the old man, so An An had dressed up specially, wearing a white silk blouse paired with a velvet long skirt that showed off her slender white ankles. Above that was a small, delicate face, and after helping people pass wine along the way, her cheeks were flushed red. When she smiled, two dimples appeared, making her sweetness penetrate deep into one's heart.

  An An heard Lu Yan's words and suddenly became much clearer. She said, "I'll go tell my dad." After finishing speaking, she turned around and went to the side of Gu Weiqiang, who was drinking with a red face, "Dad, Brother Yan said that Old Li has arrived, and he wants me to go with him to pick someone up!"

  Although Gu Weiqiang's cup was mostly filled with plain water, he couldn't resist the repeated toasts and ended up drinking a bit too much, slurring his words. "Who?", An'an raised her voice, "Li Lao has arrived from Beijing, I'll go pick him up."

  An An directly skipped over Lu Yan's name.

  Gu Wei Qiang suddenly came back to his senses, wasn't Old Li the teacher of their own son? It's said that one day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father, in Dong Dong's heart, Old Li's status was not much lower than Gu Wei Qiang. He waved his hand, "Go, call Dong Dong over, be careful." Having received permission, An An called over Dong Dong who was playing with his little friends nearby. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that these few boys had bullied the little bell of Huang Yuanqin's family until they cried.

  A little bell, a small person, hiding behind a big tree, peeking out from time to time with envy at Dongdong and Jiangjiang.

  It turned out that when Gu Chengcheng came from home, he brought a lot of wooden toy cars made by his father. Gu Weimin's craftsmanship was very good, and the small cars he made were almost identical to those on the road, basically a miniature version. He brought one over, and it became a child king, with a group of kids surrounding Gu Chengcheng, how impressive!

  Fortunately, Gu Chengcheng still has the demeanor of a big brother, always letting Dongdong and Jiangjiang play with the wooden cart. Dongdong and Jiangjiang are basically the kings of this courtyard, and they both remember what Xiao Lingling did last time, so they don't want to play with her.

  Dongdong and Jiangjiang are basically the leaders of the big courtyard kids. Since they don't play with Xiaoling, other kids also don't play with her. Today is Gu Weiqiang's wedding, all the kids in the big courtyard gathered together, it was lively. The more kids there were, the more obvious it became that Xiaoling was being excluded and feeling miserable.

  An An saw this and softened a bit, calling out, "Little Ling, come over and play with your brothers!", The little kid was only a few years old, where would he have such deep resentment? The other kids nearby wanted to sneak away.

  An'an pulled out a handful of candies from her pocket. Today was the wedding day of her own father, and some candies were prepared at home. An'an was in charge of distributing them to everyone, so she only left a few in her pocket. She said casually, "Whoever brings the little bell will get candies from me."

  The little kid who was supposed to hide next to Anan immediately came over to Anan's side, lined up and received the candy. Xiao Ling also looked at Anan timidly, and Anan gave her two pieces. When she saw someone taking Xiao Ling away to play, she finally took Dongdong and Jiangjiang away.

  When they reached a deserted place, An's smiling face immediately disappeared, and he seriously lectured, "You are men, you can't be so petty. Xiao Ling had been wrong before, but you should know, who can avoid making mistakes? If you make mistakes in the future and someone leads everyone to ostracize you, will you feel bad?"

  An'an didn't scold Dongdong and Jiangjiang in front of all the kids, just to save them some face. Although they are young, children also have a sense of self-respect.

  She hopes that her younger brothers can distinguish between good and evil, and more importantly, be real men with a broad mind. Not being petty over small things and being narrow-minded children who bully others.

  An An is rarely so serious, let alone on Gu Weiqiang's wedding day. Dongdong and Jiangjiang were originally playing and having a great time, but suddenly they were scolded by their sister and felt very wronged.

  Jiang Jiang nodded pitifully and thought, "Sister, if someone were to bully me, I would definitely feel very sad." Before he came to the Gu's house, he was bullied by all the children in this big courtyard. No one could understand his feelings better than him, nor did they know how envious he felt when he saw other kids playing happily.

  He suddenly felt that his sister was right! What's the difference between him now and those who bullied him, excluded him in the past? An An patted Jiang Jiang's head with her hand, "Remember?", Jiang Jiang nodded, "I remember."

  An An looked up at Dong Dong, but Dong Dong felt he was not wrong. Last time, it was Xiao Ling's fault that he and Jiang Jiang almost got a bad reputation as thieves. He raised his chin and said seriously, "Sister! I'm not wrong! Xiao Ling has harmed us before." Sister had taught them to distinguish between good and evil, but Xiao Ling was bad, yet sister still wanted him to forgive Xiao Ling and take him out to play. Dong Dong felt very wronged in his heart. Seeing An An's unhappy face, he quietly defended himself, "Sister! You taught us to distinguish between good and evil, to hate evil, if someone bullies us, we should fight back!"

  An'an suddenly felt a headache, these words were indeed spoken by her, but they weren't meant to be used on a little girl of a few years old, and even leading the way in ostracizing her. An'an organized the words in her mind, seriously saying "Dongdong, you're a man, sister hopes that when distinguishing between good and evil, you can have a broad mind!", now saying these grand principles to Dongdong, he was somewhat perplexed, and it was also hard for him to listen.

  An An sighed, Lu Yan was beside her from start to finish, he rubbed his nose, his future daughter-in-law was teaching a lesson to his younger brother, this seemed to be the key moment to win over his younger brother!

  Lu Yan squatted down, suddenly picked up Dongdong, then pulled Anan's hand, and slapped Dongdong. Although it looked like a big deal, but when it came down, it was actually light and gentle. After the slap, Anan was stunned for a moment, Lu Yan continued, "Dongdong, your sister not only scolded you, but also hit you, do you want to resent your sister? And remember this grudge for life?"

  Dongdong shook his head like a rattle drum, how could he possibly resent his sister! That's impossible, it's impossible for a lifetime, and before he even finished shaking his head, Lu Yan brought up the topic of paws again. With a loud "slap", a big palm hit Lu Yan's own neck, making a loud noise, with quite some force.

  Lu Yan seemed to not feel the pain at all, and he said again, "You see you hit me? Do I need to remember your behavior this time for a lifetime?" Dongdong was confused, didn't know what Lu Yan was talking about, why let himself hit him, and even used such a heavy hand.

  Lu Yan smiled meaningfully, "You hit me today, but I might forget about it tomorrow. Do you know why?", Dongdong shook his head, seemingly curious, why would he forget after being hit?

  Lu Yan said, "This is what they call 'not quarreling with children'."
