Chapter 242 Gift
Chapter 242 Gift
"Godmother, where are we going? How long will it take?"
And he's being so secretive. He said he wanted to give her a surprise when we were at home, but he still hasn't told her.
Even if she asked, Zhu Kanghui held her hand and said gently, "Why are you in such a hurry? I can't sell you out. Just follow me and you'll know. It's not far ahead."
After walking for a few more minutes, he stopped at the gate of a small courtyard. After knocking on the door, the door was quickly opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman, who must have known my godmother.
The other party nodded at them and said expressionlessly: "Come in, come in first."
Zhu Kanghui smiled politely and said, "Sister Wang, sorry to bother you. How is Aunt Xie doing these days?"
The woman called Sister Wang didn't look happy and said directly, "Let her do less work. It won't be a problem if she gets enough rest."
An Xueyan frowned. What does this mean?
A voice from inside the room shouted, "Cui'er, don't be rude."
"Miss~"
Then I saw an old lady with elegant clothes, serious face and silver hair coming out.
He slowed down his expression and said gently, "Kang Hui is here, come in quickly. Don't take Cui Er's words to heart. She is just worried about my health. Helping you make things is my request. Only in this way can I live here with peace of mind."
"Aunt Xie, I know Sister Wang is really worried about you. I see you have lost weight. If I had known, I would not have asked you for help." Zhu Kanghui said in annoyance.
He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's no problem."
His eyes fell on An Yan, and he said affirmatively: "This is your goddaughter, right?"
Having been interrupted so much that she had forgotten to introduce them, Zhu Kanghui held An Xueyan's shoulders and walked over to them, introducing them to the two of them: "Yes, this is my daughter An Xueyan, Yanyan, and this is your Grandma Xie."
An Xueyan, who had been watching quietly, now said gracefully, "Hello, Grandma Xie, I'm An Xueyan."
Ms. Xie curled her lips and nodded at her. Perhaps because she had been keeping a serious face for too long, her expression looked very stiff.
When they entered the living room, Sister Wang immediately served tea, and gave An Xueyan a separate cup of sugared water.
Ms. Xie stood up, took out a box and put it on the table.
Pushing it in front of the two of them, he said, "Take a look."
Zhu Kanghui did not open it, but said to An Xueyan: "Yan Yan, go open it, this is for you."
With some guesses in mind, An Xueyan opened the box, took out the contents and slowly unfolded them.
Above is a vivid picture of the mountain village scenery, which is purely hand-embroidered. It is centered on the An family's house, and the owner of the house is also in it. She, her brother, father, grandfather, grandmother, and aunt are all doing things in the yard.
The characters are all vivid, and you can clearly see the expressions on their faces. The houses and mountains next to them blend into one, giving people a sense of peaceful life in the mountain village.
An Xueyan fell in love with the gift at first sight, and she looked at it for a long time before she couldn't bear to look away.
Zhu Kanghui was moved and her eyes were red as she said, "Godmother, I like this gift very much. Thank you."
She remembered that she had mentioned it last year. Now many of the old craftsmen have disappeared, and she couldn't find anyone to make an embroidery. At that time, her godmother even asked her what kind of embroidery she wanted.
She told her godmother without thinking much about it at the time, and she had forgotten about it herself, but she didn't expect that her godmother took it to heart and gave her a surprise.
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but want to pee~
Zhu Kanghui hugged her and said gently, "I'm glad you like it. It just so happens that your grandmother Xie is an expert in this field and she is willing to give it to you, so she can give you this gift. You don't know that your grandmother Xie usually doesn't give things easily. You may not get such a good thing next time."
"I am very satisfied with just this one painting, and I want to thank my grandma a lot."
Ms. Xie said calmly, "No need for you to thank me, little girl. I owe a favor to the Red Army couple, so they made this request. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to do it."
At first glance, these words sounded a bit direct, but they were also explaining what her godfather and godmother had done for her. An Xuekai understood, and seeing that in this situation, owing someone a favor was not a small matter, she was asked to do such an embroidery. In her heart, she secretly vowed to be better to her godfather and godmother.
Zhu Kanghui explained, "Yanyan, don't take it to heart. Your grandmother Xie likes to settle accounts. We originally helped out out of kinship, but she insisted on giving something in return. Your godfather and I didn't want anything in return, so we just brought this up."
"Yeah, no matter what, thank you godfather and godmother for loving me so much."
After staying with Ms. Xie for a while, An Xueyan also examined Grandma Xie's body. She originally wanted to give her two injections, but Grandma Xie, who had always been a bit serious, directly and decisively refused. She wrote a prescription and asked her to follow it to slowly regulate her body.
After leaving here, the two went shopping in the department store again. After a round of looking around, they didn't like anything there. They also went to the post office to pick up four letters, one each from their master, grandfather, uncle, and second uncle. The letters from home should have been sent by several people who were studying in college, but the letter from their master was sent from Guangdong Province.
After putting the letter away, she returned to the Xie family. Her godmother packed a big bag of local specialties for her, and it was no use for An Xueyan to refuse.
Zhu Kanghui, who was standing downstairs in the family compound, worriedly warned, "Be careful on the road. If you encounter bad guys, don't force yourself on them. Remember to ride your bike to avoid them."
"I know, godmother. The security in our county is so good, there won't be any bad guys. I'm very skilled, so don't worry, godmother." She assured him while pushing her bicycle and patting her chest.
I received a gentle pat from my godmother, "Don't be careless just because you're good at it."
"Okay, godmother, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you when I have time. I'll miss you guys≈"
Afraid of being caught and scolded again, he jumped into the car and drove away.
Zhu Kanghui, who was behind him, shouted to Erkang, "Hey, ride slower~"
Seeing her like this, the neighbor next to her said, "I think you two really care about your adopted daughter as if she were your own."
"Who made this girl so lovable?" Zhu Kanghui replied.
"Why isn't this girl going to school? Can't her family afford the tuition?"
If you really love your child, you should let her go to school." This is a person who has just arrived at the family compound.
Zhu Kanghui said proudly: "Who said she didn't go to school? She is now in the eighth grade and ranks first in her grade in the county."
If this girl didn't want to go to college now, she would have no problem getting into college, but I won't tell this to others.
She said less, but people still didn't believe her. "You're educated but you don't go to school, and you're the best in the county. You're really good at bragging."
Before Zhu Kanghui could explain herself, someone came forward to prove it.
"This is true. You might not know this just because you've just arrived, but last year in the final exam, the brother and sister tied for first place. Anyone in their family who's in junior high school knows this."
"That's right. I'm telling you, if I had two children like this, I'd be happy even if they were godparents..."
