This was the first time in Jiang Maimiao’s seventeen-year-old life that Jiang Nian praised her.
She felt dizzy all over, but her heart was beating... thump thump violently.
Jiang Rendong didn't let her fight, worried that she would get hurt; her parents didn't let her fight, afraid that she would cause criticism and that she would become less and less like a girl.
Everyone looked at her strangely, as if she were the "crazy woman" that Goudan cursed.
The only person who agreed with her was... the most unlikely person.
Her sister seemed to have really changed.
Jiang Maimiao's tense eyes softened silently. She moved her throat and swallowed, looking at Jiang Nian, unable to speak for a moment.
He choked for a while and then slowly spoke.
"After climbing this hill, we will reach the production team's work area."
"Okay, let's walk faster so we can see our parents sooner."
Jiang Nian quickened his pace and hurried up.
A few minutes later, Jiang Nian climbed to the top of the hill, looked down, and saw a scene that made her terrified.
It was a mine pit, with densely packed rocks everywhere, one by one, all of them were huge boulders, so huge that people had to look up to see them.
There were several people in the ore pit, each holding a big hammer in his hand, hitting the stones again and again.
Stones are knocked off the huge rocks, broken into small stones, loaded into a three-bucket cart and pushed onto the tractor.
Dong dong dong, the sound of hammer hitting stone was endless and echoed in the empty space.
Stone chips and dust were flying, and a layer of gray dust mist filled the air.
This is where Jiang Zhenshan and He Limei work.
They are the ones who shed blood and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, but now they are suffering in a place like this.
Jiang Nian's heart suddenly tightened.
Jiang Maimiao had gotten used to it. Standing on the hillside, she shouted toward the ore pit, "Dad—Mom—it's my sister! My sister is here!"
Some people in the ore pit looked up, while others continued to hammer on the stones numbly, unable to stop what they were doing.
After a while.
Two figures walked out of the mine pit, registered with the recorder, and then walked towards them.
Jiang Nian walked quickly forward and met him.
These two people were Jiang Zhenshan and He Limei. He Limei was already in her thirties when she gave birth to Jiang Nian, which could be considered an advanced maternal age. That was why she doted on Jiang Nian so much. He thought she would only have one child, but unexpectedly, she later gave birth to Jiang Rendong and Jiang Maimiao.
Now, so many years have passed. Jiang Zhenshan and He Limei are both nearly 10 years old. They have worked in the dusty ore pit for two generations, exposed to the wind and sun, and have aged a lot in a short time.
Jiang Zhenshan's back was hunched, He Limei's face was full of wrinkles, and their clothes were patched and covered with dust.
After seeing Jiang Nian, they rubbed their eyes.
He walked closer and asked softly, uncertainly, "Is it you? Is it really Nian Nian?"
It seemed that if the sound was reduced a little, Jiang Nian would disappear like a phantom.
"It's me! Dad, Mom, it's me!"
Jiang Nian's emotions surged, his nose felt sore, his eyes felt hot, and tears welled up.
This is her mother...
The three of them looked very similar, and Jiang Nian's delicate features were inherited from the two of them, making it obvious at first glance that they were a family.
As soon as Jiang Zhenshan and He Limei opened their mouths, a strong father-daughter affection came over them.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but want to get closer to them.
