Chapter 6 — An Y

13In front of my bakery there is a moat that flows through, the golden sunlight shines down in the afternoon, the willow branches flutter, the water surface sparkles and ripples. Cui Giang and I stood under the canopy of a tree. Cui Giang kept rubbing his hands, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. I smiled gently: "Brother Cui Giang, if you have something to say, just say it." Finally, Cui Giang mustered up the courage: "I... I'm about to get married." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a bit of disappointment mixed with anticipation in his eyes. I was surprised: "Why so suddenly? This is a funny story!" Then I suddenly remembered, Cui Giang is also twenty-five this year, other men at this age already have wives and children, and even have grown up children. Yet Cui Giang is still not married. Actually, Cui Giang is a very good person. The family had a father and mother and had some wealth. Even though his father passed away early, his mother was resourceful and did not cause trouble. Cui Giang worked hard, in addition to helping with the wonton shop, he also did many other jobs. Anyone who looks at it can see that it is a good relationship. "An Y, you know..." "Cui Giang brother." I interrupted him: "You are a good person. Since I moved here, you and Thoi Tham have always helped me, helped me rent a shop, supported me in business, and taken care of me in everything. An Y will always remember this heart, but my concern is not in marriage. I just want to raise An." Ninh grew up and lived a peaceful life." Cui Giang bowed deeply, but I continued to say: "Cui Giang brother, please pay attention to the person in front of you. In the future, when you marry your wife, live a good life with her." The afternoon wind gently blew past, yellow willow branches blew in my hair, voices and laughter were heard on the street, people were busy returning home, kitchen smoke rose from all the houses. In the end, Cui Giang also smiled: "Okay. An Y, you are much more understanding than me." The vague feelings between us, before we could clearly explain them, were swept away by the gentle wind on the riverbank, while the road ahead was still as bright as the sunrise. Cui Giang's wedding ceremony took place very bustlingly. Judge Cui was so busy that he had to temporarily close the wonton shop to focus on taking care of things. That Tham brought money to find me, saying he wanted to buy wedding cakes and candy from my shop. I hastily refused: "You don't have to do that. Over the years, thanks to you, you have helped us two sisters a lot, this is a little bit of my heart." "How can that be?" Cui cried sadly, trying to push the money into my hand: "I can't let you suffer." Seeing that, I had to take a coin: "Tham, this is enough, the rest is for you to take care of Cui Giang brother's wedding." Let's go." Miss Cui knew she couldn't argue with me, so she had no choice but her eyes sparkled with emotion: "You're a good child, my A Giang family doesn't deserve you." "What are you saying? Brother Cui Giang is a very good person, it's just that we're not destined to be together." Cui Tham was so emotional that her eyes were teary, she quickly wiped away her tears: "Look at me, I'm so embarrassed." She sighed in relief and took my hand: "An Y, thank you." How nice it would be if you were my daughter.” My heart feels warm, my eyes suddenly sting. What talent does An Y have to meet such kind people? Master Tu Tong, Mrs. Tong, Tong Hanh Van, An Ninh, Thoi Tham, Thoi Giang, Tieu Ha... They are not relatives, but they are more than relatives. Suddenly, Tieu Ha's cheerful voice rang out from behind, startling me and Thoi Tham: "Then let me adopt sister An Y! That way sister An Y will be your biological sister!" I turned to look and saw An Ninh and Tieu Ha standing next to each other, behind were Cui Giang and Kim Ngoc. Cui Giang smiled honestly: “I see what you mean

Tieu Ha's idea is very good." An Ninh also crossed her arms and nodded in agreement: "Agree." "Okay!" Miss Cui happily replied. "An Y, are you satisfied?" Without thinking, I immediately blurted out: "I agree." Spring party, a cup of green wine, a song. This spring, we have a new family. 14The relationship between husband and wife is unpredictable. Rejoicing in the golden tree, nesting in the wind. Red silk hung high, guests were bustling, friends laughed and joked together in the newlywed couple's wedding room. Luong Than is beautiful and beautiful in the galaxy, rewarding the happiness of the family. An Ninh and Tieu Ha ran with the crowd to the bride and groom. As for me, with a smile on my face, I leisurely returned to my yard. But unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a faint smell of alcohol. I looked closely and saw several empty wine bottles on the stone table, while Tong Hanh Van alone held one bottle and was drinking with his head tilted back. I was in a happy mood, lifted my skirt and walked closer: "Why are you here?" "If you want to see her... and An Ninh, you should come." Tong Hanh Van tilted his head and took a sip of wine, a drop of wine rolled from the corner of his lips, along his throat, flowing into his collar. I looked at the empty bottles of wine on the table, smiled softly: "Do you have something bothering you?" Tong Hanh Van pondered for a moment: "Yes, but also no." I was more excited, conveniently poured a cup of wine from the bottle next to me, took a sip, it was Le Hoa Bach wine: "Then can you tell me?" Tong Hanh Van laughed lightly: "Let me bear it myself." I didn't mind, smiled and said: "Then let me tell my funny story, brother Listen to it for comfort." Today, I was in a good mood, so I quickly told Tong Hanh Van about my recent joys. For example, I just had an adoptive mother, and many new relatives. An Ninh was recently praised by a teacher at school... I don't know when, I drank two bottles of Pear Hoa Bach. Tong Hanh Van listened quietly, even smiling slightly when I told the happy part. The moon is so beautiful tonight, so beautiful that it makes me drunk in the dim moonlight. “You know, today I secretly looked at Cui Giang brother's bride. She was so beautiful... wearing a red wedding dress, smiling very shyly..." "You are also very beautiful."Tong Hanh Van suddenly said. I was a little surprised, then laughed: "Of course, is there any girl who is not beautiful?" Laughter rang out again from the next yard. Tong Hanh Van asked again: "Do you want to be the bride?"Tong Hanh Van's voice was as gentle as a stream flowing through my mind, making me suddenly think. Seriously. Of course I have thought about it. During my teenage years, I also dreamed about love stories in books, I used to imagine the person who would become my husband, I looked at Tong Hanh Van's face, and was surprised to remember that when I was a teenager, he was a handsome young man with a gentle demeanor, his white clothes were enough to make many girls in the palace fall in love with him There are unrealistic dreams. But the more I interact, the more I understand how big the distance is between me and him. He is a fairy in the sky, naturally there will be a noble and beautiful flower with him, not a small person like me, a wild flower in the mud. So, I buried that dream deep, not letting it touch my heart anymore. "Becoming a bride, I also dreamed of when I was young. But now, I just want to watch An Ninh grow up, wait for Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong to return, and take good care of my bakery..." I said, not noticing that Tong Hanh Van's eyes gradually became sad. The drunkenness gradually set in, my vision became blurred. I could only hear someone whispering in my ear.

me: “But I want…” What do you want? Tong Hanh Van lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the drunk girl lying on the stone table, his eyes full of love: "I want An Y to be my bride."
