Yan Xiaonan rushed over as if seeing a long-lost relative:
"My name is Yan Xiaonan, let's get to know each other."
"I, Ye Chenming, have come to be an educated youth."
Can we learn from each other?
"My background is problematic, it will affect you," Ye Chenming said in a low voice.
Seeing that Yan Xiaonan was a little stunned, he whispered in Yan Xiaonan's ear, "My parents and grandparents are all professors, so I came here to avoid them."
Yan Xiaonan laughed; this was no big deal.
Looking at Ye Chenming's exquisite face, she murmured, "You take care of being beautiful, and I'll take care of earning money to support the family."
Ye Chenming didn't hear clearly what "Hua family" meant.
Wang Yan walked over: "Ye Chenming, who is this little boy? Do you know him?"
"Yan Xiaonan, I have to go to work. If I don't finish, I'll lose points." Ye Chenming ignored Wang Yan and went to work after speaking to Yan Xiaonan.
Wang Yan glanced sideways at Yan Xiaonan, thinking, "She's so young, yet she already knows how to seduce men."
Yan Xiaonan instantly understood the meaning in her eyes. Oh my god, I'm already twenty years old, okay? It's just from my past life.
He's from Shanghai. Could it be that God sent me on this journey for this man?
Bei Nan walked over: "Nan Nan, do you like this boy?"
"Yeah, she's really good-looking," Yan Xiaonan replied shamelessly.
North and South "..."
Sowing is quick, it only takes a few days to complete. After a day of rest, the really tiring work is about to begin.
The sweet potato harvest season has arrived, and the day before the sweet potato harvest, Southeast and Xuemei returned.
My younger siblings are still small, and harvesting sweet potatoes is an extremely tiring farm job, while the southeast is full of strong laborers.
Grandma Yan, Yan Xiaoqiang, and Cuihua's eyes crinkled with joy when they saw Dongnan and Xuemei.
Grandma Yan pulled Xue Mei aside and asked, "Xue Mei, tell Grandma, when are you planning to give Grandma a great-granddaughter?"
Xuemei smiled: "Grandma, Mother, I am already two months pregnant."
"What? Then why did you come back? It's so far away. Aren't you afraid something might happen on the way?" Grandma Yan said anxiously.
“Grandma, it’s almost time to harvest the sweet potatoes, and I’m worried about Mom and Dad and my younger siblings,” Southeast explained.
"It's just harvesting sweet potatoes, right? Southwest, Xiaoling, Beinan, and Nannan can all help." Cuihua was also a little worried.
"Can Nan Nan help?" Southeast asked in surprise.
Yan Xiaonan pouted, unhappy. "I'm already eight years old, okay?"
Southeast picked up Yan Xiaonan and said, "I can carry you for another two years. In two years, you'll be a grown woman, and I won't be able to carry you anymore."
Yan Xiaonan gave Yan Dongnan a quick kiss: "Congratulations, big brother, on becoming a father!"
Yan Dongnan's eyes darted around: "Nannan, do you have anything good to give your niece?"
Yan Xiaonan asked worriedly, "Brother, how do you know it's a niece and not a nephew?"
That's it, Yan Dongnan's spirits immediately sank.
Xuemei was startled. "Dongnan, what's wrong?"
"Xuemei, my dream of having a daughter is over. You're definitely carrying a son."
Everyone was curious about where Southeast's judgment came from, so Southeast explained: "Nannan said, 'How do you know it's a niece and not a nephew?' which means it's a nephew."
Yan Xiaonan "......"
Grandma Yan nodded in agreement. Her precious child's words were law; whatever he said was law.
Yan Xiaonan "......"
Cuihua quickly smoothed things over: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are both good children of the Yan family, both are good, both are good."
Cuihua and Xuemei hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two happily went to the kitchen to prepare to cook.
"Mom, I really miss the taste of wild boar and roe deer. I want to eat them. Do you have any at home?" Xuemei was getting hungry.
Cuihua's heart sank. There was no doubt that she was carrying a boy. She said repeatedly, "We have wild boar meat, but no roe deer meat."
"Then let's make braised pork." Xuemei had already started working on it efficiently.
In the main room, Grandma Yan inquired carefully about Southeast's recent situation, and Southeast looked at Yan Xiaonan with immense gratitude.
"Grandma, it's all thanks to Nan Nan's advice that I went to work as a lab technician at the grassroots level. Even my university professors..."
Grandma Yan nodded. "What did I just say? My darling's words are law."
"Big brother, how many days will you be back this time?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
“I took a week off. It takes two days to travel to and from the airport, but I can stay at home for five days,” Southeast said earnestly.
"Brother, pregnant women need nutrition, you can't let Sister Xuemei go hungry," Yan Xiaonan said earnestly.
Yan Dongnan ruffled Nan Nan's hair and said, "Okay, little housekeeper."
Southwest and Tang Xiaoling are back. They went to work at the factory today, and they will have to take leave starting tomorrow.
The factory is considerate of these farmers, so it's very convenient for them to take leave during the busy farming season. The same applies to schools, just like in the north and south.
Xuemei and Tang Xiaoling already knew each other, and now that they are sisters-in-law, they are even closer.
After dinner, the two of them hid to the side and whispered to each other, their faces turning red and shy, which was quite eye-catching.
People in the southwest and southeast were also gossiping: "You little rascal, when did you take a fancy to your sister-in-law? You're really good at keeping it a secret."
Southwest was a little shy: "When I was learning at my master's house, I just..."
Southeast patted Southwest on the shoulder: "I heard you give Milk five yuan a month for nutrition? Good job!"
Southwest laughed: "Grandma said she doesn't want you to give it to her because my sister-in-law doesn't have a job."
Southeast nodded: "I'm currently working as a lab technician at the base. My monthly salary is thirty-six yuan. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, food expenses, and retirement expenses, I can save ten yuan each month."
Xuemei also had to set aside some money to save so she could buy nutritional supplements for her grandmother every time she came back.
Southwest admired: "Sister-in-law is so kind."
It's getting late, and we have to start work tomorrow, so we need to get some rest today, especially the couple from Southeast.
The two returned to their old new house, and upon opening the door, they were filled with warmth.
The room was clearly cleaned every day, and the bedding and blankets in the kang (heated brick bed) were all new.
She had taken her original bedding with her; this was clearly a new set prepared for her by her grandmother and mother.
Taking out the bedding, the scent of sunshine brought a sense of warmth. Milk is so good, mother is so good.
Southeast silently thought to herself, "Southern is so good."
On the second day, Xue Mei's family forbade her to go to work in the fields, and instead asked her to stay home and help her grandmother cook delicious food.
Everyone was preparing to leave with their carrying poles, knives, shovels, and other tools. Zhongzi hurriedly followed behind, but Yan Xiaonan stopped him, saying, "You've been staying home and looking after the house for the past few days."
Zhongzi sobbed reluctantly. Yan Xiaonan looked into Zhongzi's eyes and said, "If even one of the piglets or hens in the house is missing, I'll hold you accountable."
Zhongzi quickly retreated until he sat down next to the chicken coop, his dog-like eyes fixed intently on Yan Xiaonan. "I'll be sitting here watching today."
Southeast smiled. Nan Nan is still so cute. Zhong Zi is also good. I just wonder how Zhong Nan is doing.
