Xia Anyan gave a faint "hmm" in response.
Grandpa Xia paused for a moment before saying, "You bastard... Xia Zhengyuan and Zhou Xiuning are being sent down to a production brigade in the southern province today. As for those two children, they'll also be going to the countryside in the next few days."
"After we get home, you might see... Xia Anhua and Xia Chengzong."
Xia Anyan simply responded with a faint "hmm," without any other emotional change.
The old man couldn't quite understand her.
My granddaughter has such a calm mindset...
In fact, Xia Anyan had already anticipated this.
She had expected this when she returned this time.
Unexpectedly, the two people didn't go to the countryside; instead, they stayed for a few more days.
Gu Shen looked at the old man and said seriously, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect Yan Yan and won't let anyone hurt her."
Grandpa Xia still trusted his grandson-in-law.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to betroth him to their granddaughter in the first place.
"Good lad."
The group returned home, but were stopped at the entrance of the brigade.
It was the brigade leader. As soon as he saw Grandpa Xia, he rushed over and said, "Uncle Xia, it's not good for your two kids to keep crying like this. If something really happens, our brigade can't take responsibility."
“Look… why don’t you try to persuade them to go back? They signed up for the rural assignment themselves, but now they’re crying and begging not to go. If the commune finds out, something bad will definitely happen. You can’t just ignore this.”
Grandpa Xia's eyes widened in anger.
How could he not have thought that those two bastards were so shameless?
"What, those two bastards haven't left yet? Do they think they can avoid going to the countryside by crying in my place? If they hadn't already signed up for the countryside, their names would be on the list of those being sent down now. And they still don't know how to be grateful."
Grandpa Xia's voice was loud and confident, which startled the brigade leader.
The reason he came here to stop people was because he heard what the brother and sister said and wanted the old man to help him.
Those two people had given him a lot of benefits, so of course he had to do what he was supposed to do.
But to everyone's surprise, the old man was so heartless that he didn't even care about his own grandson and granddaughter.
The captain frowned as he glanced at Xia Anyan, who was standing next to Grandpa Xia.
"Old man, who did you bring back? Our brigade can't have so many random people coming here. We need to check their identification."
Isn't this blatant disrespect to Old Master Xia?
A few days ago, he excitedly told everyone in the brigade that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were coming back soon.
But now, the captain has questioned the identities of these two people in front of so many people.
Those who came with the brigade leader looked left and right, none of them knowing what to say.
Most importantly, I don't know whether I should chime in at this moment.
Their captain is ruthless; anyone who crosses him will definitely face repercussions later.
Although Grandpa Xia was from their brigade, he never worked there. When there was a shortage of food and vegetables, they always managed to get some. Even if they couldn't get some themselves, they would buy food from their brigade.
He could ignore the captain's petty thoughts, but these people couldn't.
Grandpa Xia's face darkened: "Captain, I remember telling you before that my granddaughter and grandson-in-law were coming back. They've already arrived, yet you're saying such things. Are you slapping me in the face, or are you slapping them in the face?"
“Those two bastards couldn’t even produce identification when they came. You believed them when they said they were my grandson and granddaughter, but you don’t recognize my own granddaughter when she comes to our brigade. Did you deliberately let those two in to annoy me?”
The aura surrounding Old Master Xia changed instantly.
Along with him, Gu Shen also changed.
He had already said on the way that he would definitely protect Yan Yan, and now is the perfect opportunity, isn't it?
"Captain, this is my identification. Can you tell if there's a problem?" Gu Shen placed his identification in front of the captain with a dark expression.
The captain panicked instantly.
He never imagined that this capitalist's daughter would find a soldier.
The captain was clever; since he couldn't win, he had no choice but to join.
As for those two people? Who cares? Judging from Grandpa Xia's attitude, those two people are definitely not of his concern. Who knows if they can come up with the money they promised?
After having this idea, the captain immediately put on a smile.
"Oh dear, look at me, I'm really getting old, how come I forgot about my niece. You're Yan Yan's niece, right? Uncle used to hold you when you were little, do you remember?"
The captain smiled and tried to get close to Xia Anyan, but he had obviously forgotten that the original owner of the body was only two or three years old at that time.
Let alone whether the original owner could even remember those people from the countryside after experiencing all that. Even if she could, how could she possibly recall things from when she was two or three years old?
Xia Anyan chuckled but didn't respond.
The captain was somewhat embarrassed.
He glanced at the people around him, hoping they would speak up for him or change the subject.
Unfortunately, the people around them had already retreated far away.
Let alone changing the subject, there were hardly any people who even tried to strike up a conversation.
The captain was furious.
"Alright, alright, let's not stand here anymore. Let's hurry back. You must be tired from the journey. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll kill a chicken for you."
The captain's heart was bleeding.
That's a chicken, a chicken!
He usually wouldn't even eat it himself, but now he's taking it out to entertain these people.
But Old Master Xia had already seen through him.
"No need, I've already prepared all the food at home, so there's no need to trouble the brigade leader."
"Yan Yan, why don't you hurry up and say hello to your captain uncle? He'll be able to recognize you next time."
What Grandpa Xia said really slapped the brigade leader in the face.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to refute it at all.
You even have to greet them with a smile.
Suppressing his resentment, the captain chased after the Xia family all the way to their home.
The Xia family's house has been renovated; it was originally built by the original owner's mother when she was still alive.
It cost quite a bit of money back then.
Over the years, the old man has spent some money on maintenance, so even after so many years, the house still looks brand new.
As soon as they got close, two figures, their faces flushed and pale, rushed towards them.
"You bitch, Xia Anyan, you deserve to die, you really deserve to die! You're going to get me killed!"
