Just now, when she witnessed Ye Nian'an treating and saving lives, her eyes revealed an unprecedented firmness and confidence, and her movements were clean, neat, decisive, and resolute.

At that moment, she seemed to radiate light, dazzling and captivating, making it impossible for anyone to look away from her.

Since marrying Ye Nian'an, Chu Yan felt as if he had accidentally stumbled into a mysterious garden and discovered a treasure that belonged only to him.

It is said that a woman who is serious is the most charming, and at this moment, this statement is perfectly embodied in Ye Nian'an.

She was like a divine physician galloping across the battlefield, saving lives and healing the wounded; the scalpel and silver needles in her hands were her weapons.

They shuttle between life and death, performing miraculous cures, snatching lives back from the jaws of death, and bringing hope to those in dire straits.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nian'an pouted and said, "Hmph, according to you, I'm not charming at all?"

Looking at her like this, Chu Yan felt an indescribable love welling up in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Niannian is naturally the most beautiful and charming."

Nothing in the world can compare to your glance or your smile.

As soon as he spoke, a faint blush instantly spread across his usually stern face, like the clouds on the horizon dyed by the setting sun.

Seeing his shy appearance, Ye Nian'an couldn't help but giggle.

My soldier brother is still as simple and honest as ever.

Although she can occasionally utter a few flirtatious words, she still gets shy easily.

It was precisely this genuine and adorable leader that made her fall deeper and deeper in love with him, her heart and eyes filled with affection for him.

Fortunately, fearing that Ye Nian'an and the others might change their minds, Shi Gandang carried his things and left very quickly.

So, when no one was around, Ye Nian'an tiptoed and secretly kissed Chu Yan on the cheek.

A jolt, like an electric shock, coursed through Chu Yan's body. His entire being tensed instinctively, and he forced out a single sentence through clenched teeth: "Niannian, you..."

"whee."

Ye Nian'an, like a wildcat who had successfully stolen some fish, turned her face away and suppressed her laughter where Chu Yan couldn't see her.

Chu Yan's heart felt as if it were being gently rubbed by a furry little beast, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body.

At this moment, he looked at Ye Nian'an beside him, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He wished he could immediately pick her up and carry her away, so he could fully release the burning passion that had been stirred up within him.

But then they thought about how they got up very early this morning, climbed over the back mountain to look for the Ye family, had dinner and then rushed to Shi Minghui's house without much rest, and that such a big thing had happened.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan sighed helplessly in his heart.

This burning passion can only be suppressed by taking a cold shower to extinguish it.

Shi Gandang thought his little scheme had succeeded, little did he know he had escaped a dog food battle royale.

Otherwise, if their mouths were stuffed full of Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan's PDA, they'd probably be sobbing.

When Ye Nian'an and the others returned to the educated youth settlement with their belongings, Chi Xinyao and the others were stunned.

"Oh no..."

"Niannian, didn't you go to give gifts to the brigade leader and curry favor?"

"Now you haven't even given the gift, and instead you've come back with all this stuff?"

This is considered reversing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Ye Nian'an explained everything that had just happened to her family.

"Oh dear, that was a really critical situation. Luckily, you know medicine, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I was afraid that even if the adult was saved, the child would be lost. I have a relative who was in a similar situation."

Chu Xin'er was still shaken after hearing this, and her gaze toward Ye Nian'an became even more adoring.

My sister-in-law saved two lives with her help, and the brigade leader's family will be grateful to her for the rest of their lives, bringing back so many gifts as a token of their appreciation.

Not to mention Zhang Meili, even Chu Zhenyuan's back pain and Ye Xiang's lingering ailment after catching a cold were both resolved with Ye Nian'an's help.

This is absolutely a lifesaver!

"Yes, it saved us the trouble of sending things over. Instead, we got so much wild boar meat and eggs. We can increase the amount of food we eat these days."

In the past, Chi Xinyao wouldn't have cared about other people's thank-you gifts.

But now that they've been sent to the countryside, they are no longer the respected military officer families they once were, who could hire servants to wait on them. They have to be frugal in everything they do.

To live a good life, every single resource is crucial.

"Niannian, you did a really good job."

Chu Zhenyuan gave Ye Nian'an a thumbs up.

Surrounded by her family praising her enthusiastically, Ye Nian'an rubbed the back of her head a little embarrassed: "Hehe~ Don't praise me like that, everyone. I get proud very easily."

"Then be proud. Anyway, you can take a lot of praise, so what's there to be afraid of? Now that you've saved the brigade leader's second daughter-in-law, the job of the village's barefoot doctor is probably a done deal."

Chu Xin'er wanted to continue clinging to Ye Nian'an, but Chu Yan grabbed her by the back of the neck and coldly said, "These are my lines."

As he spoke, Chu Xin'er was tossed aside by Chu Yan.

Chu Xin'er protested: "Damn it, you jerk, you've been hogging my sister-in-law all day, and I can't even have a little chat with you about women's secrets!"

"No, it's so late. Your sister-in-law has been busy all day and is tired. She needs to rest."

Chu Yan placed his large hand on Ye Nian'an's shoulder and gently massaged it for her: "Niannian, come on, let's go back to your room and rest. I'll prepare some water for you to wash your feet later."

Chu Zhenyuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, Niannian, you've had a long day, get some rest. You can sleep in a little later tomorrow, it won't hurt."

"kindness."

To be honest, I'm a bit tired.

Even with the nourishing spring water, I couldn't withstand all that I had done.

Ye Nian'an was helped to her feet by Chu Yan. She yawned and was about to go back to her room to rest.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chi Xinyao called out, "Who is it?"

“It’s me, Zhao Di.”

Seeing that it was Leng Zhaodi, Ye Nian'an said softly, "Dad, Mom, let's put the things inside first."

She decided not to keep these things, which everyone already knew, in her space for the time being, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Chi Xinyao nodded, and then she and Chu Zhenyuan took the wild boar meat and eggs into the inner room.

Chu Xin'er went to open the door and welcomed Leng Zhaodi in.

"Sorry for coming to see you at this hour, I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

"No, Zhao Di, why did you suddenly come here? You must have something you want to tell us, right?"

Ye Nian'an knew that Leng Zhaodi was a very sensible person, and she would not knock on their door at this time unless it was something important.

Leng Zhaodi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's like this, I just came out of the shower and heard Yang Lijuan saying that someone saw you carrying things to the brigade leader's house."

"Rumors are spreading in the youth settlement that you're trying to bribe the brigade leader, engaging in speculative capitalism, and getting some kind of benefit in return..."
