Gu Cheng only took the sticky bean buns and didn't want the eggs. An Yi forced them on him, so he had to accept them, but it was only after he left that she discovered he had slipped five yuan by the stove at some point—surely New Year's money for the children. This man was actually quite courteous.
She directly handed the five yuan to An Hu: "If you need anything, go buy it yourself. If there's nothing you want to buy, then save it up and use it to get yourself a wife in the future."
Anna was listening beside them and laughed: "If you want to be a mother‑in‑law, you'll have to wait quite a few more years. How old is Hu Zi now?"
Born in 1940, Hu Zi was 17 this year. Although he wouldn't officially be 17 until winter, the 20‑years‑older An Yi was already 37.
