Chapter 521 I Want to Follow You Back
The early morning air was filled with the fresh smell of earth. Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli went up the mountain to collect grass for pigs early in the morning.
Yan Shaoli grabbed the pig grass in one hand and the sickle in the other. With a flick of her hand, she cut a handful of fresh pig grass that was still steaming. The fattening of the two piglets in the family depended on her. She thought she could make a lot of money by selling them to the country next year.
She was cutting grass for the pigs excitedly, thinking about her elder brother and sister-in-law's wedding yesterday, her joyful mood had not yet completely subsided.
Listening to Yan Shaoli humming a little tune, Yan Shaoyang felt relieved that he had completely adapted to country life.
He was silent for a long time, then said, "Shao Li, my elder brother and his wife will soon leave the Daluozi Production Team and return to Huaihai City. When the time comes, you must take good care of yourself and Shao Tang, and listen carefully to what Uncle Gu and Sister Gu say, okay?"
Yan Shaoli's humming voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at Yan Shaoyang suspiciously: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
My second elder brother has always been a dull nerd, so it's a bit weird that he gave me these instructions for no reason.
Yan Shaoyang did not hide it. He slightly exerted force on the hand holding the sickle, and a trace of determination appeared on his clear face: "Brother Ling Jia and Brother Wei Qin are going back to the capital today. I plan to go back with them."
Hearing this, the sickle in Yan Shaoli's hand almost fell to the ground. She widened her eyes and her lips trembled slightly: "Second brother, don't joke! The situation in the capital was explained clearly by my eldest brother when we went to the countryside!"
Yan Shaoyang remained silent for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice: "I know, but I have to go back."
Yan Shaoli's eyes turned red: "Second brother! Don't be silly, Ji Ran is in the capital, she wants to kill us all, are you sure you can go back safely? How much effort did we put in to leave the capital?"
Yan Shaoyang's eyes gradually turned red, and he walked to a crooked tree and sat down: "Shao Li, big brother has endured too much. After getting married, returning to the capital will become more urgent. He will try his best."
He took a deep breath and looked at Yan Shaoli: "Do you know why big brother kept the money mom left?"
Yan Shaoli walked over to him and sat down, biting his lip and asked, "Why?"
"He is prepared to die on the front battlefield. If he can't come back, that money will be the last way out for the three of us. Do you understand? Big brother has worked hard and paid too much. We are already so old that we can no longer enjoy his protection. If I can do more, big brother can bear less." Yan Shaoyang's voice was very deep.
Yan Shaoli's body suddenly straightened up. She stared at Yan Shaoyang for a long time and suddenly sobbed.
"Don't cry. As a member of the Yan family, we shed blood but not tears. Have you forgotten?" Yan Shaoyang reached out and touched Yan Shaoli's head. His voice was light and soft. Thinking of his father's words when he was young, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Yan Shaoli couldn't stop crying, and it took a long time before he gradually stopped crying: "Have you told my brother about this?"
Looking at her sobbing, Yan Shaoyang smiled and said, "No, but Big Brother will agree."
Yan Shaoli didn't say anything else. She knew in her heart that her eldest brother's temper was somewhat similar to her father's, but the former was colder and tougher. Once her second brother proposed to return to the capital, he would most likely not refuse.
The Yan family is not afraid of death, but they are afraid of living a cowardly life.
Seeing Yan Shaoyang was determined, Yan Shaoli stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone in their family was stubborn. She sighed for a long time before asking, "What are you going to do when you return to the capital?"
Yan Shaoyang hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Go to the newspaper office and write an article."
He had considered it carefully. Since ancient times, there have been two battlefields in the court, one civil and one military. His eldest brother chose to fight on the battlefield, but he did not have that ability, so he naturally had to choose the path that suits him best.
After studying hard for so many years, he doesn't know how to shoot the enemy with a gun, but he has no problem using a pen to expose darkness and evil.
As the saying goes, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." In the future in the capital, the eldest brother can use his gun to intimidate and defend the pen in his hand, and he will use his pen to win over the hearts of the people. Sooner or later, the Yan family will be able to clear their grievances and be successfully rehabilitated.
Although Yan Shaoli didn't understand the twists and turns, she felt relieved when she saw Yan Shaoyang's steady and resolute expression. She moved her lips and couldn't help but said, "Second brother, do you think Mom and Dad can really come back?"
After saying this, Yan Shaoyang replied seriously, "Of course! If you don't believe me, don't you believe my brother?"
Yan Shaoli nodded and smiled, "I believe in my eldest brother, and I also believe in my second brother. When you have settled everything in the capital, take me and Shaotang back. By then, my parents will be back too, and our family will be reunited."
Yan Shaoyang laughed out loud, and a ray of sunlight shone obliquely on him through the branches of the woods, bringing a feeling of warmth.

When the brother and sister came back with a basket full of pig grass, breakfast was ready.
Yan Shaoyu, Ling Jia and Ji Weiqun were all exercising in the yard. Their foreheads were covered with sweat and their clothes were soaked and stuck to their bodies. If it weren't for Bai Mei, they would have taken off their clothes long ago.
When they were in the military area, they would exercise shirtless early in the morning, but they couldn't be so rough in the countryside.
"You're back, wash your hands and have dinner." Bai Mei was squatting outside washing the pots and pans. When she saw the two of them coming back, she smiled and waved. After saying that, she looked at Yan Shaoyu and the other two and said, "I've boiled some hot water. You guys go wash your hands too. We're going to have dinner."
Several people responded, and after Yan Shaoyu returned to the house, he cleaned up a little and then went into the room.
The big red wedding quilt on the bed was slightly raised. He had gentle eyes and walked forward to take a look. Gu Yuehuai was curled up in the thin quilt, with her long black hair disheveled and her smooth jade-like back slightly exposed. However, the mottled red marks on it made people blush and their hearts beat faster.
Looking at these traces, Yan Shaoyu's eyes became empty and he coughed lightly a few times.
Gu Yuehuai is a light sleeper. If he hadn't been too tired yesterday, he wouldn't have slept in. He opened his eyes when he heard the noise, and saw Yan Shaoyu's handsome eyebrows and eyes. Well... seeing this face so early in the morning, his mood improved a lot.
"Sister-in-law, has she prepared breakfast?" She sat up and stretched her sore waist slightly. She didn't care about the thin blanket that suddenly slipped off her body. Her snow-white ravines were magnificent, and all her charm was taken in by Yan Shaoyu.
His eyes were somewhat dark, and he coughed violently unconsciously, then turned around and said, "Well, get ready and get up."
After saying that, he fled out of the room. Although his Adam's apple rolled and his emotions were a little agitated, he did not forget to open the door only a narrow gap, for fear that the scenery inside the room would be seen by people outside.
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and looked at himself, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's already this time, why are you still shy?"
How could she know that the wolves who had eaten meat were not shy, but were afraid of not being able to control their desires, and asked a table of people to wait for them to eat.
