Chapter 173 Shaotang? Shaotang!
"What's going on?" Yan Shaoyu frowned, and his handsome eyes were covered with a layer of sinisterness.
He is now in the Dalaozi Production Brigade, and it will not be of any benefit to him if anything happens here.
Gu Yuehuai looked at the messy breeding area and could faintly hear some crying sounds mixed with words like "lack of food" and "can't survive". There was no need to think too much about it, as it seemed that Wang Fu and Wang Peisheng had told him about the food shortage in advance.
Her voice was cold and eerily calm: "The brigade is short of food, so naturally the members quit."
"Shortage of food?" Yan Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, his expression changed a little.
He was born and raised in the capital. No matter how difficult life was, he had never experienced food shortage. However, when he was in the army, he did have the experience of eating rats and gnawing on tree bark. Food shortage was indeed a hellish disaster.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Yuehuai. He always felt that she was frighteningly calm.
Gu Yuehuai stood with her back straight and her eyes calm. She indeed had no idea of the panic and fear that followed the team's food shortage. She didn't seem to be worried at all about the chain reaction caused by the food shortage.
"Let's go." Gu Yuehuai noticed Yan Shaoyu's scrutinizing gaze and didn't explain much.
The team will have to go through this sooner or later, and it is better to know it in advance than at the end.
On the way, Yan Shaoyu said thoughtfully: "Why did you invite me to your house for dinner? Does your partner have any objections?"
"Partner?" Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised and gave Yan Shaoyu a puzzled look.
Yan Shaoyu is not a gossipy person. How did he hear that she has a boyfriend?
Yan Shaoyu's ebony peach blossom eyes were sharp as he stared at Gu Yuehuai with some hostility. Is this guy pretending to be stupid?
Although he didn't mind the fact that Gu Yuehuai had a boyfriend, he was unhappy with her concealment of the truth. This was a character issue. So, was she determined to drag him down with her?
Gu Yuehuai noticed Yan Shaoyu's displeasure and said, "I didn't even know I had a partner, who told you that?"
Yan Shaoyu said impatiently, his voice cold: "Today at noon."
"He Lanzhang?" Gu Yuehuai thought for a moment and knew where the rumors came from. She found it a little funny. She stopped and looked at Yan Shaoyu with a thoughtful look on her face: "Do you care about this?"
Without waiting for Yan Shaoyu to answer, she continued calmly, "He Lanzhang is my friend, not my boyfriend. He is a good friend of Guide Cui Hejie. You can ask him. He came here just to tell me about the food shortage in the commune."
When Yan Shaoyu heard her so-called "care" words, his face turned cold and the corners of his lips tightened.
Gu Yuehuai didn't want to say more about He Lanzhang's affairs, and she knew that Yan Shaoyu didn't like her at all, so there was no question of him being jealous or caring about her. The reason he asked this question was simply because he thought there was something wrong with her character and that she was not keeping herself clean.
She said, "My home is just ahead. There are only my dad, two brothers and a sister at home. It's crowded, so don't mind."
After saying that, she glanced at Yan Shaoyu.
Sure enough, after missing this topic and talking about his family, Yan Shaoyu's expression became more serious.
Although he paid for his meals and the food he ate was his own money, he was, after all, an educated youth going to a fellow villager's home for dinner, so naturally he was not so casual. The arrogance and carelessness in his eyes and eyebrows were restrained a little.
Soon, the two arrived at the Gu family courtyard.
Gu Yuehuai thought about the scene where the brother and sister would soon meet, so he suppressed his rapid heartbeat and pushed the door open first.
Yan Shaoyu glanced at the Gu family's yard and followed Gu Yuehuai into the house.
Gu Xihuai was cleaning the chickens. He turned around when he heard the noise. When he saw Yan Shaoyu coming in behind Gu Yuehuai, his face changed slightly. Who is this? Gu Yuehuai brought his girlfriend back?
As soon as Yan Shaoyu entered the room, the first thing he saw was a little girl sitting on the kang playing with a sandbag.
She sat with her back to him, and all he could see was her brand new jacket and cotton shoes, as well as her chubby little hands gripping the sandbag. He didn't expect Gu Yuehuai's sister to be so young. She looked about the same age as Shaotang.
Thinking of Yan Shaotang, Yan Shaoyu's expression turned indifferent and his eyes dimmed.
He knew very well that after searching for so long without finding anyone, Yan Shaotang must have been sold to a very remote place by human traffickers. Trying to find him was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He didn't know if he would have the chance to see him again in this life.
Gu Xihuai wiped his hands and winked at Gu Yuehuai: "Who is this?"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at Yan Shaotang who was sitting on the kang, blinked his eyes, and said with a hint of teasing: "Yan Shaoyu, the educated youth who has just come to our brigade, is he good-looking?"
The corner of Gu Xihuai's mouth twitched and his eyelids twitched wildly. He had no idea what his unreliable sister was acting.
Yan Shaoyu frowned slightly when he heard Gu Yuehuai's words. He looked at Gu Xihuai's gaze and restrained his expression. He nodded politely at him, "Hello."
"Hello... hello." Gu Xihuai looked at Yan Shaoyu seriously, his tone a little strange.
Why does he feel that this educated youth looks a little familiar?
"Sister." Yan Shaotang seemed to be tired of playing with the sandbag in his hand. He stretched out his little hands towards Gu Yuehuai and made a gesture to hug her.
Gu Yuehuai smiled, walked to the kang, picked up Yan Shaotang, and said to Yan Shaoyu: "This is my sister, Shaotang, does she look a bit like you?"
Hearing this, Yan Shaoyu's eyes widened slightly, unable to hide his shock, Shaotang?
He stared closely at the little girl in Gu Yuehuai's arms. When she turned her head, a pretty little face came into view. Instantly, Yan Shaoyu felt as if his mind was split by a beam of light, and blurted out: "Shaotang!"
Yan Shaoyu strode forward and looked at Yan Shaotang, who was blinking his eyes and no longer looked numb and stupid as before. His thin lips trembled, and he was a little reluctant to recognize him. Veins popped out on his forehead and his eyes gradually turned red.
He took Yan Shaotang in his arms, feeling the weight in his arms, his throat moving and feeling a little dry.
Gu Yuehuai pursed her red lips, and a hint of light flashed across her eyes.
He didn't find Shaotang in his previous life, but in this life, he finally got his mind cleared up.
Yan Shaotang seemed a little scared. She shrank her neck and looked at Gu Yuehuai and Gu Xihuai. She didn't understand why she was suddenly taken away by someone. But when she looked at the big brother with bloodshot eyes, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.
"Yuehuai, what's going on? Shaotang and this guy..." Gu Xihuai frowned and stopped cleaning up the chicken.
He wanted to hug Yan Shaotang back, but seeing Yan Shaoyu's excited look, he was a little afraid to go forward. Moreover, when he hugged Yan Shaotang, their faces were very close, and people could see the similarity of their eyebrows at a glance.
At this moment, Gu Xihuai understood something in his heart, his chest was shaking, as if he couldn't believe it.
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips and pretended to be displeased and said, "Yan Zhiqing, what are you doing?"
"Sister!" Hearing her voice, Yan Shaotang twisted his body and reached out to her, tears flashing in his bright peach blossom eyes. Seeing this, Yan Shaoyu loosened his hand slightly and let Gu Yuehuai hold her tightly in his arms.
Yan Shaoyu suppressed his uncontrollable emotions and looked at Gu Yuehuai with a rare look of embarrassment.
At this moment, many doubts arose in his heart.
Why was Shaotang kidnapped and brought to the Dalaozi Production Brigade?
Why was it Gu Yuehuai? How did she know Shaotang's name? Moreover, why was Shaotang no longer idiotic? When she called her sister, her voice was clear and her expression was lively without a trace of silliness. She was completely different from before!
What exactly happened in the meantime?
