Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2015: Chapter 2008: What’s There to Be Proud Of

”Auntie, don’t worry. It’s not that serious, you’re far from the point of dying.” An Hao reassured her with a smile, ”After the surgery, you’ll still be strong as ever! By then, you’ll be watching your second daughter get married, right?”

”Yes, yes.” Upon hearing this, Tian Niu’s mother’s burden lifted considerably.

”Mom, you’re so biased. You don’t even think about me!” Tian Niu’s second sister pouted while standing next to her.

”How could I not think about you? You don’t want to settle for just anyone, so haven’t I been letting you choose for yourself? If I were gone, I’d leave you in the care of your brother and sister-in-law. They wouldn’t treat you badly! I’ve thought about your future too, so how can you say I don’t think about you?”

Tian Niu’s mother said a lot of things.

”If you really think about me, you need to see me get married and have children! And, in the future, you still have to help me take care of the kids. No more talk about dying.” The second sister pouted,.

”Yes, mom! Rest assured, the doctor An Hao found for you is the best in the hospital! They’ll definitely cure your illness.” Gu Shuangshuang chimed in.

”Alright! I believe you, I believe you.”

An Hao didn’t stay long at Shuangshuang’s place. Seeing it was getting late, she left her house.

Gu Shuangshuang was about to go grocery shopping, so she left together with An Hao.

As they walked, they chatted about second sister and An Ping.

”I think those two have a good connection. If my mother-in-law’s surgery is successful, I’ll bring their matter to the table. An Ping is of age, and second sister isn’t young either. It’s time to get married.” Gu Shuangshuang said.

”You’re quite the sister-in-law, always thinking about second sister!”

An Hao laughed.

”That’s right. Second sister is a good girl, and we get along well. As her sister-in-law, I naturally can’t let her miss out. I’ve always been looking for a good match for her, and who would have thought An Ping would come along!” Gu Shuangshuang was genuinely pleased, An Ping had good qualities, was very honest, and had a capable and caring sister like An Hao.

If second sister ended up with such a family, she’d be smiling in her dreams!

”I’m quite satisfied with second sister, she’s exactly the kind of person I have in mind. Once they marry, they can live a stable life.” An Hao trusted her instincts; she felt An Ping and second sister marrying was indeed a good match.

”We both don’t have any objections. Once my mother-in-law is discharged, let’s have both families sit down together and finalize their matter.”

”Sure!”

The two of them immediately agreed.

The two parted ways halfway,.

An Hao needed to take the bus back and was heading towards the stop when she ran into Hong Mei, who was just coming back from outside.

They faced each other for a moment, both momentarily stunned.

Hong Mei’s eyes swept over An Hao. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but swallowed her words, turning it into a provocative smile.

An Hao thought of that night and felt a throbbing in her head, the feeling of that brick hitting her was something she wouldn’t dare to forget.

”You’re quite pleased with yourself!” An Hao stepped forward and looked at her steadily.

”What do I have to be pleased about? I’m stuck in the infirmary from the communications unit! Every day dealing with cleaning tables and sorting medical waste! Why do you think I would be happy?” Bringing up the topic, Hong Mei’s heart was filled with resentment.
