When Lu Ruoling and Li Fengyi saw how much money it was, they wanted to refuse on the spot, but Yang Niannian spoke before them.

"I've already told you, this is a gift for my little niece. If you refuse, I'll be unhappy."

After a pause, he added.

"As you know, I'm in business, and Shi Shen gets a subsidy from the army, so our family is more comfortable. My eldest brother and dad are both in our hometown, and they're currently living on a few acres of land. The two sides can't be compared. Don't think I get a lot, and don't despise my eldest brother and dad for giving too little, it's all based on our family conditions."

Li Fengyi quickly replied, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, we know. The money given by my parents and eldest brother is considered a lot in the countryside. We are very happy that they have such a thoughtful attitude."

Lu Ruoling was a very down-to-earth person, and after hearing that, she didn't try to make false excuses, but happily held the gift in her hand.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Yang Niannian, "We are all family, don't be polite, remember to put away your things."

"I'm going to the army to see An An this afternoon, and I'll be back in Beijing tomorrow. Jiang Yang will come to see you often, and he will help with the discharge procedures."

"After you are discharged from the hospital, you can move directly to the dormitory. If you need anything, tell Jiang Yang and ask him to help buy it for you."

Lu Ruoling nodded heavily, "Okay."

Li Fengyi felt a little sorry, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble during this period of time."

Not wanting him to have any psychological burden, Yang Niannian deliberately said, "There will be more places for me to use you in the future, so you can't refuse then."

Li Fengyi and Lu Ruoling immediately assured that they would be available whenever called.

As they were chatting, the child suddenly started crying, and Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

"It's probably because I peed."

She touched it with her hand and found that it was indeed urine.

Yang Niannian had never held a baby before, so after Aunt Zhou changed the diaper, she held the baby in her arms for a while. The little guy was very light and soft when she held him in her arms. There was a smell of milk mixed with sweat on his body, which might be because it was hot and she didn’t take a shower, so it didn’t smell very pleasant.

After holding the child for a while, Aunt Zhou took the child and put him to bed.

She also said, "Don't underestimate her because she's small. She's actually very smart. If she gets used to being held, she'll even need someone to hold her when she sleeps."

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Yang Niannian didn't stay long. She took Jiang Yueyue outside to eat dumplings, bought some tea, and then returned to the scrap station.

Jiang Yang just came back from outside, and Jiang Yueyue took out the safety lock from her schoolbag as if she was presenting a treasure.

"Brother, sister bought me a safety lock."

Jiang Yang glared and gently lifted her ear.

"Who told you to ask your sister for something?"

Yang Niannian slapped his hand away, "Don't bully Yueyue, I bought this myself."

Jiang Yueyue didn't cry even when her ear was pulled, and she even took out another safety lock.

"Look, sister bought one for you too."

Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, took the safety lock, looked at Yang Niannian a little embarrassedly and asked.

"Sister Nian, why did you buy it for me too?"

Yang Niannian said with a smile.

"Although you are an adult now, in my eyes, no matter how old you are, you are still my brother. The peace lock symbolizes peace and longevity. I definitely hope that you will live a safe and smooth life."

Jiang Yang's eyelids turned slightly red with emotion, and he stroked the peace lock with his fingers. The feeling in his heart was indescribable. He was moved not by the value of the thing, but by Yang Niannian's kindness.

Yang Niannian was afraid that Jiang Yang would cry, so she quickly reminded her.

"You may be touched, but don't cry like a baby! You are a small boss now after all."

Jiang Yang laughed foolishly, "Sister Nian, I swear, I will treat you as my own sister for the rest of my life. If I dare to do anything to let you down, I will be struck by lightning."

Yang Niannian waited for him to finish his oath before continuing, "I have taken note of your oath. If you really do something to let me down, I will take care of you myself without waiting for God."

Jiang Yueyue nodded heavily, with a look of loyalty and determination on her face, and said with a solemn oath.

"Sister, I will help you monitor your brother."

Yang Niannian laughed and pinched her little face, "You must keep a close eye on him and don't let him fight with others."

After thinking for a while, he reminded, "By the way, don't tell anyone else about the safety locks I bought for you. Try not to show off your wealth when you are outside, okay? Don't let others know that your family is rich."

There are many honest people in this era, but there are also many bad people. It is always good to pay more attention to safety.

"That's what my brother taught me." Jiang Yueyue nodded.

Yang Niannian praised Jiang Yang with satisfaction, "You are finally sensible."

Jiang Yang was praised, but he didn't know where to put the safety lock. Finally, he took down a red brick from the corner under the bed and put the thing in the gap.

After making sure that no one would see her, she went to the kitchen to cook lunch.

Just as the three of them finished lunch, Zheng Xinyue came on a bicycle.

"Niannian, I went to the hospital to look for you. They said you were back and that you would be returning to Beijing tomorrow."

"Everything here has been done. Feng Yi cannot be discharged from the hospital for the time being, so I will go back first." Yang Niannian said.

Zheng Xinyue said in surprise.

"So soon? I thought you would stay in Haicheng for at least half a month."

Yang Niannian shook her head, "Not for too long, to avoid Shi Shen worrying."

Noticing that Zheng Xinyue seemed to have dressed up carefully today, she smiled and joked, "Are you planning to go to the army to see Deputy Commander Qin?"

Zheng Xinyue turned around and asked, "How is it? Do I look good in my outfit today?"

Without waiting for Yang Niannian to speak, Jiang Yueyue immediately flattered her, "It looks good. If Brother Qin saw you, he would definitely want to marry you home immediately."

Zheng Xinyue laughed.

"A flatterer."

Yang Niannian had an expression that said, "As expected, I also plan to go see An An again, let's go together!"

Zheng Xinyue couldn't wait to say.

"Shall we go quickly then?"

Then he felt like he was a little impatient, so he quickly added, "Go earlier, so Yueyue can play with An'an for a while longer."

Yang Niannian didn't expose her, "Okay!"

Jiang Yang had to go out to pick up goods, and was not sure when Yang Niannian would be back, so he left a key for her.

The two rode their bicycles and took Jiang Yueyue to the gate of the army, and Yang Niannian handed the tea to Zheng Xinyue.

"Give this to Deputy Captain Qin and ask him to bring it to the old leader. I'll go take Yueyue and An'an out to play first."

"I'll come find you later." Zheng Xinyue said.

Yang Niannian winked at her and said, "Don't worry, chat for a while."

She and Lu Shishen only met once in a long time, so she could understand Zheng Xinyue's feelings...

It was noon and the sun was scorching. There were no children playing outside the military compound, and An An was watching TV at home alone.

Yang Niannian looked at him standing alone, feeling a little sad, and called out softly.

"An An."

Jiang Yueyue also shouted loudly.

"Brother An An."

Hearing the voice, An An turned back suddenly, her eyes suddenly brightened, "Godmother, Yueyue."
