I'm here while you're waiting

On the way, Anwen was a little worried, but also a little looking forward to it. He didn't go home for several years.He didn't tell his parents in advance when he went home this time, whether he was guilty or otherwise, Anwen didn't notify in advance.

When getting off the train and walking home, An Wen introduced the scenery on the road to Jing Hao.

"That one over there is my home."

"I thought it was all yurts here, riding horses to school, prairie, and eating barbecue."

Anwen couldn't help laughing: "No way, the urban and rural areas here are well built. And there are not so many grasslands. There are also yurts, but there are few. In fact, very few people can speak Mongolian now. They all speak Mandarin."

"Somewhat disappointed?" Anwen looked at Jing Hao

Jing Hao shook his head: "This is more convenient for people's lives."

Anwen nodded, indeed.

Jing Hao nodded, and slowed down with An Wen, feeling timid near the hometown. Although he didn't feel this way, he could understand.

When he was almost home, Anwen stopped.

"Let's go, An An. Anyway, he is a [-]-year-old uncle." Jing Hao patted An Wen on the shoulder.

"Pfft..." Anwen couldn't help laughing. Is this comfort?

When Anwen walked to the door of the house, he exhaled.He reached out and knocked on the door, then waited nervously.

"Come on, who is it?"

After the door opened, Anwen looked at his mother with graying hair, and his eyes turned red: "I feel even more guilty. Mom, I'm back."

Seeing An Wen, An Wen was taken aback, and then she was pleasantly surprised: "It's good to be back, come in quickly. It's very cold outside, let's talk when you come in. His father, come out quickly, An An is back." hand, leading people into the house.

Father An also came out when he heard the voice, saw An Wen and Jing Hao, and walked over.

"Father, I'm back."

"Well, it's good to be back, your grandma misses you very much." Father was always like this, always using the excuse of others to say how much he missed, and walked to Jing Hao's side. "It's An An's friend."

Only then did Anwen remember that Jing Hao hadn't been introduced yet, so he went to grab Jing Hao's arm: "Abba, Aunt, this is my friend, Jing Hao, we are roommates, and he takes good care of me."

"Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm Jing Hao, and I'm An An's friend." Jing Hao said with a smile.

Mother An was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay, come on, come on, sit down and warm up."

Jing Hao put down the gift with a smile, not seeing the exchange of glances between An's father and An's mother.

An's father and An's mother are very enthusiastic and talkative, not to mention Jing Hao, most of them are talking about Anwen.Under Jing Hao's "teaching", An Wen also became a lot poorer. The four of them chatted until the evening, and stopped chatting when they felt hungry to prepare dinner.

"You said you didn't give any notice in advance, so that we can prepare."

"Just cook whatever you want. I really want the dishes made by my grandma."

"it is good."

"I'll cook, and you can continue talking."

"Mom, let me help you."

"No, just sit down."

Anwen sat down helplessly.

"How long will you stay this time? Is there no problem with work?

"You can stay for a long time and take a long vacation." Jing Hao replied instead of An Wen.

"Do you work together?"

"It's almost the same, but the part in charge is different. In fact, I am more free." Jing Hao smiled, "Some work can be done on the computer, and it is easier for us, working hours and relaxation."

"An'an is under your care. At 30 years old, she's still like a child."

"Um, indeed, very energetic."

"I'm also very mature. I'm not as mature as you say." Anwen sat up straight.

"It's very energetic." Father An smiled, "It's much more cheerful than before."

"Jing Hao, are you the same age as An Wen?"

"I look older, but I'm actually two years younger than An An."

"28 years old? Not too young."

Anwen looked calm, but he was still a little nervous.

"But it's still young." Jing Hao nodded, "I heard from An An that Uncle likes to drink tea. It just so happens that a friend of mine makes this, so I want some. There is no good packaging. Come and see how it goes." Jing Hao said as he unwrapped the gift that came there, and took out one.The altar-shaped ceramic tea caddy with dark green broken patterns is very delicate.

An Wen knew that Jing Hao brought tea tea sets and some small porcelain, but he didn't know exactly what they looked like.So, when Jing Hao took out the tea pot, he said in surprise, "Jing Hao, you also bought a jar for pounding garlic? Porcelain ones are not easy to use."

Coincidentally, An's mother also came into the house to get something, and when she heard Anwen say that it was a garlic pounder, she also went over to take a look, and patted Anwen's head: "It's a tea pot, what a garlic pounder, it's just a joke."

"This tea..." Father An opened the lid.

"This is fried by the local family without using a machine. According to my friends, it is not bad. This can is green tea, and there is no brand."

"Good tea! It's much better than the tea bought outside. It's too expensive... If you buy it outside, it might cost hundreds or even thousands."

"Thousands of dollars?" An Wen stared. He didn't like drinking tea, and he didn't know about it.Father An would not buy particularly good tea, just ordinary tea.No matter how expensive it is, it costs tens of dollars a can.The hundreds of thousands of tea leaves must have been deducted from his salary!Black-hearted boss!

"It's too expensive..." Mother An looked at the tea pot, "This tea pot isn't cheap either."

Jing Hao smiled: "It's really expensive to sell outside, but this is a friend's hobby. I grow and fry it myself, and I drink it myself. I asked him for some. This tea pot is from Jingdezhen. Fine china isn’t very expensive if you look for it in the right place.”

When An's father and An's mother were still a little hesitant, An Wen said, "Father, make a cup of tea and see how the tea leaves that cost thousands of dollars a catty are different."

"An'an, tea leaves are counted in taels." An's mother patted Anwen's shoulder.

Father An really wanted to try it, but he was short-handed...

"What kind of tea do you drink on an empty stomach? It's not good for your health. Drink it after you finish your meal. Your meal will be ready soon." Mother An said with a smile.

Anwen nodded, and said, he took the tea pot in Father An's hand, covered it, and put it in the place where Father An usually put tea.An father and mother are not easy to take back.

An Wen flipped through Jing Hao's gift, and found that there was a small figure made of porcelain inside. He took it out and took a closer look. It looked like him!

"Grandma, look, does this look like me?" Anwen held the porcelain figurine to his side, and put on a smile exactly like the porcelain figurine.

Mother An's eyes widened, they were carved out of the same mold!

"This, this, this is really like it!"

Anwen nodded, ran to the living room, and put the porcelain figurine on the shelf.

"Mom, dinner is ready."

"Okay? I'll come. His father, set the table and eat first."

"I'll help." Jing Hao said and walked out. "

······

After eating, An Wen and Jing Hao helped to clean up the dining table and watched TV and chatted with An's father and An's mother.

"Jing Hao is 28 this year?" Mother An asked.

"Ah."

"Haven't got a family yet? Both you and An An are 30 years old and haven't started a family yet. Do you have someone to develop?"

"Mom!"

"It's better for a man to start a family later. If it's early, he doesn't know how to take care of others and doesn't understand responsibility. It's okay to be late."

"It's good to have a family. Once you have a family, you will take care of others." An's mother suddenly smiled again after she finished speaking. "Nowadays, young people are getting married late. I really don't understand. It's just that the parents are in a hurry."

Anwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jing Hao, didn't your family urge you?"

Jing Hao shook his head.

"Is it okay to stay here for the New Year? Your parents' place..."

"I'm an orphan, so..." Jing Hao smiled.

An's mother was taken aback, looked at An's father a little helplessly, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, I didn't make it clear. When I was young, people would always say something, so I usually don't talk about it." Jing Hao smiled.

The topic of getting married did not continue.

Anwen felt a little heavy.

After chatting for a while, Anwen yawned.

"You're sleepy, go to bed. The kang is burned." Mother An said with a smile.

"Sleep peacefully in your room, and I'll clean up the back room."

"Auntie, don't bother, I just squeeze with An An."

An's mother's face changed slightly, and then she said: "How can that be done, An'an's room is a small kang, and it's too crowded for two big men to sleep together, it doesn't seem like a thing."

Jing Hao didn't realize there was something wrong, but An Wen did. He didn't tell Jing Hao the specialness of the name when he asked Jing Hao to call him "An An", but how could An's mother not know that this name is only for the closest ones? People can call, and An's mother is not stupid. She naturally knows that under normal circumstances, no man would call another man like this on a normal occasion.Anwen didn't explain, but instead added fuel to the fire, "Grandma, I'll just go with Hao, don't bother."

"No, that's too much neglect of others."

"Auntie, it's okay. An'an's spirit is not very good recently. It's hard for him to fall asleep alone at night."

An's mother wanted to say something more, but An's father stopped her.

Mother An nodded and didn't say anything, but her eyes were red when she turned around.

An Wen and Jing Hao entered the house, and An Wen snuggled into Jing Hao's arms, "Jing Hao, Mom knows."

"It's okay, you have me, don't worry. Huh?"

"Ah."

"Jing Hao, do you know, before I heard Wang Zai say that a pair of his gay friends died in love because of his family's resistance. They didn't want to compromise, but they were powerless to resist, I..."

"An'an, I won't let such a thing happen. They will go this way because they are not firm enough, and their parents care about their face more than their children themselves, putting the cart before the horse. I thought about it when I came, if Uncles and aunts are sensible, and I will understand them with affection. If they don’t love you enough, I will be a bully and rob civilian men. Now it seems that it is much better than I imagined. Saying this , An An, I have prepared for the college entrance examination, and now I find that it is probably just a random test."

An Wen put his arms around Jing Hao and closed his eyes: "I will work hard and will not compromise."

"You don't have to work so hard, just leave these things to me."

"I want to face it with you."

Jing Hao kissed An Wen and nodded, "We face it together, but no matter what your uncle and aunt say or do, you don't need to be pressured, just express your willingness to be with me. Don't be pressured , you know? There is me."

"It's determination."

"Ok?"

"It's not a simple wish, it's a great determination to be with you. To be with you!"

"Ok!"
