Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1970 - 1971: That’s What We’ll Do Then

An Jing nodded, "To satisfy the in-laws, it’s true that the son-in-law has to make an effort himself."

Pausing, An Jing smiled with twinkling eyes, "Husband, if my parents from the modern times were still alive and saw you, they would certainly be very pleased with you as their son-in-law."

Xiao Changyi’s lips curved slightly, "Even if they’re not pleased, I will strive to make them pleased. After all, they are your parents."

Listening to this made An Jing’s heart melt with sweetness, and the smile on her face grew even bigger. The feeling of being as in love as ever was truly wonderful.

After looking into Xiao Changyi’s eyes with a beaming smile for a while, she added, "I’ve already had Baobei deliver Star’s letter to Qinger, Qinger should have seen it by now, and logically speaking, it should have quite an impact."

"Mm."

...

If An Yiyun were here for the New Year, then a few days into the lunar new year, An Yiqing would accompany An Yiyun back to the Imperial City. But An Yiyun didn’t come for the New Year this time due to health reasons, so An Yiqing planned to stay until the fifteenth day of the lunar new year before taking An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi back to the Imperial City.

And today, it’s only the tenth day of the lunar new year.

"Third brother, third brother, Mother asked Baobei to give you a letter, it’s from Second Brother!"

As soon as An Baobei ran into An Yiqing’s room, she handed the letter to An Yiqing, who was reclining leisurely on the kang in the room, munching on sunflower seeds.

Before An Yiqing even looked at the letter, An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi, who were lying on the kang playing dice and gambling, began to complain.

"Second Brother always says he loves us the most, but every time he writes a letter, he never writes to us, only to Third Brother. It’s too much!"

"Fifth Brother, you’re right, Second Brother is too much. Next time we see him, we definitely have to tell him that we’ve grown up and need to be informed of important matters."

An Yilin immediately echoed, "Seventh Brother is right, that’s what we’ll do."

"You guys," An Yiqing laughed and gently tapped the heads of his three beautiful brothers, "Every time Second Brother writes a letter, he always mentions you all. It’s just that you’re all with me, so one letter suffices. One day, when you’re not by my side, even if you don’t ask, he will write to you too."

An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi hummed in response, then stopped playing dice, and crowded beside An Yiqing, intending to read the letter together.

Seeing this, An Baobei climbed onto the kang as well, wanting to join in, even though she didn’t know many characters yet, but she just wanted to be part of the fun.

But she hadn’t even gotten close when An Yiqing, who had just taken the letter out of the envelope, was startled by her and scooted back repeatedly, exclaiming in panic, "Baobei, don’t come closer!"

"Hahaha—" An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi collapsed onto An Yiqing, laughing. Their third brother was truly scared.

An Baobei paused in her kneeling position, looked up with a pout and a little face full of grievance at An Yiqing, "Third Brother, you really don’t like Baobei anymore, Baobei is unhappy."

An Baobei was the darling of everyone’s hearts, and An Yiqing couldn’t bear to see her looking so aggrieved. He immediately became anxious, setting the letter aside in order to comfort her, "Baobei, Third Brother doesn’t dislike you at all. Third Brother still likes you very much, but really can’t let you touch Third Brother. You’re a big girl now, and you need to keep a distance from your brothers, observe the propriety between men and women, to avoid misunderstandings and keep your reputation good."

An Baobei didn’t say a word, but continued to look at An Yiqing with grievance. After all, she wasn’t even seven years old yet...

An Yiqing was now so flustered he didn’t know how to explain further.
