It was a dark night and everything was quiet.

Yi Ning came out from Madam Lan's yard and walked to sit next to Yi An. "Brother...what are you thinking about?"

Yi An looked at her, smiled, and put his coat on her.

The two smiled at each other and sat side by side, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

"What about you? Xiao Ning, do you like it here?"

Yi Ning put her head on his shoulder, "Well... Grandma and Second Aunt are very kind to me."

Yi An didn't say anything, just said "hmm" and asked, "Then...what about the others?"

Yi Ning straightened up and looked at him slightly sideways. "Brother, I don't know, but I decided to listen to Xiao Xiao and try to get along with them. Give each other a chance. But there is no need to wrong ourselves. If we can't get along, there is no need to force it."

He raised his hand and rubbed her head, then smiled, "Then listen to Xiao Ning."

Yi Ning smiled sweetly at him: "Brother, I have grown up, you don't have to worry about me anymore, and this is supposed to be our home, these people are our relatives, no one will hurt us."

"Well, I understand," Yi An smiled faintly and said slowly, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Yi Ning nodded repeatedly, "I want to go to school. I want to go to the same university with Xiao Xiao. Grandma said she will find a teacher for me tomorrow. Brother, what about you?"

Yi An was silent...

He didn't know that his life before basically revolved around Yi Ning.

Protect my sister and make sure she has enough food to eat.

But now Yi Ning no longer needs him, and he doesn't know what to do.

Yi Ning took his hand and said excitedly: "Brother, don't you admire Mr. Mu very much? He is a soldier, why don't you join the army too?"

"You are so good at fighting, you can definitely join the army... My brother must look very handsome and impressive in a military uniform."

Yi An just smiled and said nothing. He really wanted to be someone like Mu Lianshen, but could he join the army?

Lan Guoxiong, who had been standing at the door, patted Lan Zhuojing on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Take Xiao An to visit the army someday. Hey, it's really sad. There are so many people in our family who have joined the army, but your son actually admires that kid from the Mu family..."

Lan Zhuojing said in a deep voice: "Dad, I know what to do."

He looked at Lan Guoxiong and asked, "Why haven't you returned to your room yet?"

Lan Guoxiong kicked him and said, "What do you care about me?"

Aren’t you going to wait until your wife falls asleep before going back to your room?

Now I have to kneel down again...

Lan Zhuojing took a look at the brother and sister and wanted to go up and hug them, but he was timid. Just as he was hesitating, Lan Guoxiong next to him kicked him again with such force that he kicked him directly into the yard. He staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was stable.

He smiled awkwardly and slowly walked up to the two of them.

Lan Guoxiong, who was behind him, crouched and walked away, muttering, "It's really inconvenient for a grown man to be so hesitant."

Looking at this face that looked similar to his, Lan Zhuojing said in a gentle voice: "I also serve in the army. Can I take you to the army someday?"

Yi Ning blinked and asked, "Brother has never been to school, can he go?"

Before, Yi’s parents did not agree with them going to school, but his brother said something to them and finally let Yi Ning go with him, but he only attended for a few years.

Lan Zhuojing felt a pain in his heart. He suppressed his emotions and looked at her. He leaned over and gently stroked her hair. His voice became softer. "Sure, Daddy can take care of it."

"But," he looked at Yi An and said in a negotiating tone, "Being a soldier is very hard..."

Yi An nodded calmly.

Lan Zhuojing smiled and said, "Okay, Dad will make the arrangements. We will take a few days of classes first, and then go for the assessment."

Fearing that he would dislike his brother, Yi Ning quickly explained: "Although my brother didn't go to school, he is very smart and has learned a lot by himself. He can read."

Lan Zhuojing's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Dad knows that you are very smart, and he is not learning that, but teaching him some precautions."

Yi An said: "I want to go to the army first..."

"good,"

Although it was awkward and reserved, fortunately, the two children were willing to talk to him. Lan Zhuojing felt warm and bitter in his heart. He knew that the time he missed could always be made up.

Lan Guoxiong thought that the time was almost up, so he quietly entered the master bedroom. As soon as he entered, the lights came on. He looked up angrily and saw Old Madam Lan sitting beside the bed, looking at him calmly.

"Hey, old lady, why are you still awake so late?"

He glanced at the boxes placed on the ground in the corner and asked, "What is this?"

Madam Lan said calmly: "I prepared a thank-you gift for Brother Mu's granddaughter..."

"so much?"

She rolled her eyes. "The Mu family has seen so many good things, why would they care about these? I just picked out those precious medicinal herbs. That kid is a good doctor, so I wanted to cater to his preferences."

"Oh," Lan Guoxiong scratched his head, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Wife, I don't need your things anymore. I'll ask the boss to prepare them."

Madam Lan sneered: "What the hell is the boss preparing..."

Lan Guoxiong laughed: "Precious medicinal materials, right? You can always buy them with money, so don't worry about it."

Madam Lan worriedly reminded him, "Let him buy it and let me take a look before he sends it away..."

"Of course, you are the one who takes care of all the household affairs,"

Madam Lan glared at him in reproach and smiled, "You want to tire me to death..."

Seeing that she finally smiled, Lan Guoxiong shamelessly came over and said, "Wife, you are not angry anymore, are you?"
