Chapter 206 You Speak Too Simplistically
After class, An Xueyan went to the cafeteria with her aunt.
An Qingyu ordered a serving of stir-fried vegetables and rice for herself, and a serving of stir-fried potatoes with meat and a serving of pork knuckles with soybeans for An Xueyan. The two of them found a quiet corner and did not stay with her cousin's classmates.
He took his plate and silently gave some of the food to his sister-in-law.
I said, "I've been eating too much meat lately. I want to eat something light. Aunt, you gave me too much oil."
An Qingyu squinted at her and asked, "Do you think I believe it?"
"You need to study hard and eat well. You don't have to worry about the family. Just use your allowance for food. If it's not enough, write a letter or send a telegram to my dad. My dad is rich. You can return it to him when you graduate." The grandparents at home are old, and my aunt probably doesn't want their money, so she is so frugal.
The other college students in the family are much better off than her, and because of their close relationship, she doesn't mind supporting her younger aunt to go to college.
An Qingyu muttered quietly: "Third brother still has to support you, a gold swallower, how can he have any money?"
An Qingyu didn't believe her niece's words at all. The family had been living so well in recent years. She had also secretly calculated the accounts and believed that her third brother must have spent all his salary.
"I definitely can't afford to support several college students, but it's no problem to support you. Hurry up and eat. Look at you, you've become pale and thin after just a few days of not seeing you." An Xueyan was very disgusted with this.
Seeing that her niece's words did not sound like lies, An Qingyu started eating with peace of mind. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
After taking a bite, he leaned closer and whispered to An Xueyan, "That's because I raised them too well before. You don't know that when I first said I was from the countryside, no one believed me.
The conditions in our village are not bad and we can all have enough food. But I saw a girl in school who only ate one steamed bun a day. She was so thin that she was just skin. She was a cruel person.
But I heard her harvest wasn't good back home, and since she has many children, she has to save some money and send some back home. Many people who come from rural areas do the same."
"You also want to send money back to your grandparents, right?" An Xueyan saw through her plan at a glance.
An Qingyu said embarrassedly: "This...I am thinking that since I can get money every month, I should send some to my parents. They are old and have not enjoyed my filial piety..."
"Grandpa and grandma definitely hope that you study hard and take care of yourself here. Life at home is getting difficult, and they still need you to save food there. Aunt, have you become stupid from studying too much?" An Xueyan said the last part bluntly, and her eyes were full of scrutiny when she looked at An Qingyu.
Feeling guilty about being looked at, An Qingyu said coquettishly, "Please put away that look in your eyes. I'll eat by myself from now on, okay?"
Her thinking has recently reached a dead end. Seeing that her classmates who also came from the countryside were so frugal, she couldn't help but want to follow the crowd.
"Don't overthink it. Although we come from the countryside, we should be able to make a living according to our ability. There's no need to force ourselves to endure hardships. If you encounter problems you can't solve at school, go find Professor Wang Mingjin. I've told the teacher that he will help you in any way he can..."
An Xueyan couldn't help but chatter as she looked at her aunt who had become stupid recently, explaining all the school connections and her current address.
"I see. Is that the house I gave you as a reward a few years ago? I'll come see you this weekend and take a look at your house. I heard that houses in Beijing are very hard to come by. Fortunately, Yanyan, you were smart enough to ask for a house."
"That's right. I will go back to my hometown with my master in a while. I guess you won't have much time to go there either. You can just ask someone else to look after the house then." She always spoke directly to her aunt, and An Qingyu didn't have any thoughts because the house was not looked after by her.
After dinner, the two of them chatted and went to the faculty building, and he took my aunt upstairs as if she was familiar with the place.
Seeing Professor Li coming down the stairs, An Xueyan calmly and politely called out, "Hello, Grandpa Li."
An Qingyu was much more nervous and greeted him stiffly, "Hello, Professor Li."
Professor Li was still very kind when he saw An Xueyan. He smiled and asked, "Come to see Lao Wang? Did you understand what I just said in class?"
After making such a joke, An Xueyan said with a smile: "I understand. Grandpa Li, you explained it too simply. I think you can make it more difficult, such as..."
She even gave a few examples, which startled Professor Li. He laughed and said, "I really didn't expect you to understand. If you can understand it, it's necessary for me to add some more difficult tasks. You go up first. I'll go to the cafeteria to buy some food."
"Okay, goodbye, Grandpa Li." After watching Professor Li go downstairs, I turned around and saw the resentful look of my aunt.
An Qingyu gritted her teeth and said, "An Xueyan, is there anyone who would cheat my aunt like you? That's not difficult, is it? Are you trying to make your aunt bald in her youth?"
"How can this little pressure be difficult for you, the proud students of Huaqing University? Aunt, I believe you have the potential. Come on~" He clenched his right fist in a cheering gesture and ran upstairs.
An Qingyu couldn't relax here and didn't dare to do anything to her, so she could only follow her resentfully and come to Teacher Wang's house, and she had to maintain a polite personality.
After introducing her aunt to the teacher, she went to get the porcelain and calligraphy that she had placed there. Her teacher had borrowed it, and she said she would give it to him, but he didn't want it. So An Xueyan let him take it as he pleased.
After a brief chat here, the two left at Wang Mingjin's urging.
The main reason was that he was worried that it would be unsafe for An Xueyan to go back alone too late, so he asked her to leave quickly while it was still dark.
An Qingyu only relaxed after leaving the faculty building. Students are generally afraid of seeing teachers, especially those like her who are not very smart.
"Your teacher cares about you a lot, Yanyan. Will these old things be valuable in the future?" He asked the question out of curiosity as soon as he came out.
She had just heard the two of them exchanging a few words about buying famous paintings or rare books if they came across them, and that one item could be equivalent to her two months' allowance.
An Xueyan nodded affirmatively and said, "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. Do you think this is a sign that our country is about to usher in a prosperous era? When the time comes, these old items will become more and more valuable."
An Qingyu believed what his niece said. It was always accurate. They had said before that the college entrance examination would be resumed. Look, it was resumed.
So I asked excitedly: "How about I buy two if I have the chance?"
She has no objection to her aunt wanting to collect them, as these old items will definitely be valuable in the future.
So I reminded him a few times: "If you want to buy something, go to an antique shop. The items there have been authenticated by professionals, so there are generally no fakes. Don't buy it outside. If you don't know how to look, it's easy to buy a fake."
