Chapter 1451: Family affection is the most important thing
After the funeral was completed, An Lan and I were ready to go back. After all, we had a lot to do, and Xiaoman was still at home.
Last night, Sister Cai called and said that Xiaoman wouldn't sleep and was always at odds with her.
After helping An Yifeng clean up briefly, I said to him: "Yifeng, your sister and I are going back soon, so I'll leave you to take care of the funeral arrangements."
An Yifeng nodded and said: "Okay, brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I see you running up and down and helping me with so many things this day, and you didn't even eat much for lunch. I'm really sorry."
I smiled and said, "It's okay, we are all from one family and don't speak the same language."
After An Rong heard what I said, she came over and said, "That's right, we are a very close family. We all lived here when we were young. We are relatives."
I don't know why, but when the word "relatives" comes out of her mouth, I always feel a little different.
But I didn't say anything and continued to say to An Yifeng: "After these funeral arrangements are finished, you will come to Chengdu. Do you have my phone number? Just call me or your sister directly."
"Well, by the way, brother-in-law, please wait a moment."
With that said, he ran back into the house.
At this time, An Rong asked me: "Why did you just ask him to go to Chengdu?"
I wondered what this had to do with you, but I still said to her patiently: "Yifeng wants to find a job. I'll ask him to go to Chengdu to arrange it for him."
"I'm going to work in your company. In a company as big as yours, the money won't go to outsiders."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I really didn't know what to say. The gap between these two siblings was really too big.
After a while, An Yifeng walked out of the house carrying a bag of fertilizer.
The bag seemed quite heavy. An Yifeng lifted the bag and put it in front of me and said: "Brother-in-law, there is a piece of bacon we smoked ourselves, some sausages and two chickens, all raised at home.
.”
Naturally, he wanted to give these to me. I opened them and saw that they were filled with some local specialties from the countryside.
I lifted it and it was really heavy. I quickly said: "Yifeng, this is too much. It is inconvenient for us to carry it. You can keep it for yourself."
"Yes! Yifeng, you have to stay at home for a few days to deal with funeral arrangements. You can keep it for yourself."
An Yifeng smiled and said: "Don't you have a car? I will help you carry it to the car later, and you can just go to the airport to check it in."
"But this is really too much. We have taken it all away. What will you do at home these days?"
"Also, I still have some left. Anyway, I have to leave here after the things are settled in the next few days. I have to get rid of all the food at home, otherwise it will rot."
This was also true, but An Rong suddenly asked: "Is there any more bacon and sausage? Give it to me too."
An Yifeng turned to look at An Rong and said, "Sister, I'll prepare it for you when you leave. I'm too busy today and don't have much time."
"I have to leave now! Go and get it for me."
What An Rong said was something An Lan and I didn't expect. After all, she is the second uncle's daughter, so she's leaving now?
An Yifeng also asked quickly: "Sister, are you leaving now?"
"Otherwise? It just so happens that they have a car, which is more convenient."
"But" An Yifeng turned to look at the funeral arrangements at this place.
I knew what he was going to say, so I took the words and said to her: "You should stay at home and help with the funeral arrangements. Yifeng can't do it alone."
But An Rong said with a smile: "This old man has been buried, and all the relatives and neighbors have been invited, so what else is there to do?"
After saying that, she snorted again and said: "I have a lot of things to do at home. My son is waiting for me to hold a parent-teacher conference for him tomorrow. I have to go."
"Forget it," An Yifeng answered, "I'll prepare it for you."
An Lan and I were both a little helpless, but it was really hard to say anything.
After An Yifeng prepared the things for An Rong to take away, he also packed them in a sack. He was the same as us. He was not partial to anyone.
But An Rong was dissatisfied. After opening it and taking a look, she said, "Why is this all there? The old man is dead and everything in the house will be divided! Is this all you can give me?"
An Yifeng sighed and said, "Sister, it's not like you don't know what's going on at home? Last year, you took away all the meat from the pigs killed at home. I went to the market to buy all the bacon and smoked it on the street. There were only two pieces.
Already."
"What about the chickens? Didn't I see more than ten of them last time I came back?"
"Dad sold them after he was hospitalized, so there are only a few laying hens left. I treated a few of them to my guests today."
An Rong still didn't give up and continued to ask: "What about the old man's subsistence allowance during his lifetime? There should be some left, right?"
I really couldn't stand hearing this anymore. My second uncle has just been buried and he hasn't even closed his eyes yet. The family is about to be separated!
Although this is not a matter of my own family, I really can’t stand it!
I can only say that An Yifeng has a good temper. If I had I would have quarreled with him long ago.
However, An Yifeng still said patiently: "Sister, you have been here a few times since dad was hospitalized. How do you know how high the medical expenses are? My pension and minimum living allowance have long been gone."
An Rong seemed to have run out of words, so she could only wave her hand and said: "Forget it, that's it!"
After saying that, she said to me and An Lan: "Sister, brother-in-law, please wait for me for a while, I will go in and pack up and leave."
After saying that, she ran back into the house.
At this time, An Lan took out his wallet from his bag, took out a few hundred-yuan coupons from it, and handed them to An Yifeng.
An Yifeng asked confusedly: "Sister, what does this mean?"
"Yifeng, take it. You will have to use the money later. I don't have much cash here. You can use it first. If you need more money, call me and I will transfer it to you."
An Yifeng declined: "Sister, this is really unnecessary. You have already helped us so much, and I still have money here."
"Whether you have money or not, you must take my money. Can't you build my second uncle's grave behind this? There is money everywhere. Take it quickly, or your sister will come out and see it later."
"Yes! Yifeng, take it quickly." I said immediately.
An Yifeng then took it over and said to us: "Sister An Lan, I'm really embarrassed. You gave me so much money when my father was sick and hospitalized, and now you are helping me with everything and you still give me money. I feel so sorry."
An Lan interrupted: "Don't talk about this, Yifeng, money is important, but family love is the most important."
An Yifeng nodded heavily, and then said to the sack on the ground: "Let me help you carry your things to the car."
As soon as An Yifeng picked up the sack, An Rong's voice came from the room: "Hey, hey, hey! You can help me to resist, how can I lift it?"
It takes about ten minutes to walk from here to where we parked. Not to mention carrying two bags, even one bag is quite tiring.
This An Rong was completely unreasonable, but we didn't care about it.
I said to An Yifeng: "Yifeng, put ours down and I will lift them myself. You can help your sister."
An Yifeng had no choice but to agree, so he put down our bags again, and then carried An Rong's bag.
