Ye Chen'er was quickly taken to the hospital. The doctor carefully and responsibly diagnosed her and finally determined that she had been under anesthesia and would wake up naturally without any problems. Yan Aidang breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Ye Chenming also boarded the train. Just when he was anxious and didn't know what to do, Yan Xiaonan found him.
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for dragging Sister Ye into this. The one who's going to arrest the flower sellers is me."
Ye Chenming's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said with a choked voice, "Nannan, it's not your fault. Blame the flower seller for being so wicked."
Yan Xiaonan handed Ye Chenming a note. Ye Chenming was overjoyed when he read it and couldn't help but hug Yan Xiaonan tightly: "Nannan, thank you, thank you, Uncle."
Yan Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved. It was good that Ye Chenming didn't blame her. After all, it was really not easy for the two siblings to rely on each other and hide here.
Ye Chenming realized his rashness and quickly apologized, "Nannan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I was just too happy, I..."
Yan Xiaonan shook her head: "Brother Ye, hurry to the train station. There's a train today. Get off at the first stop and ask the staff. They'll definitely know."
Yan Xiaonan's guess was correct; how could the staff not know about such a big thing?
Ye Chenming nodded: "Thank you, I'll go now."
Yan Xiaonan quickly handed over a basket containing some food and drinks, as well as some money and a letter of introduction. Sister Ye had been implicated because of him, so he had to make it up to her properly.
Ye Chenming thought for a moment and decided not to stand on ceremony. He knew time was of the essence and he hadn't prepared anything, so he would just owe it to him for now and would have a chance to pay it back later.
Two days later, Ye Chenming met his younger sister at the hospital. Ye Chen'er could have been discharged long ago, but Yan Aidang made her wait for Ye Chenming there.
Ye Chen'er didn't understand at first, but then she thought that they probably had a way to contact each other, and her cousin would definitely come over after he found out, so she waited patiently.
Yan Aidang took good care of Ye Chen'er, providing her with three meals a day and trying to find ways to buy her different things every day. When he saw that Ye Chen'er had no clothes to change into, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought her two sets of clothes to change into.
I've thought of everything: bath tickets, face cream, hair combs, face towels, bath soap.
Ye Chen'er was really embarrassed, but she didn't have much money on her, so she could only blush and say, "Brother Ai Dang, I'll pay you back when my brother comes."
Yan Aidang stood up with a smile: "Ye Chen'er, you are Nan Nan's good friend, and I also consider you my younger sister. I hope you don't take these things too seriously."
Ye Chen'er nodded. That's what she said, but she owed too many debts. Putting aside the life-saving grace, the sentiment alone was hard to repay.
"Brother Ai Dang, I'm sorry. I didn't really want to settle things with you so thoroughly, but it's only right to pay back debts. Besides, you saved me, and I don't know how to repay you." Ye Chen'er felt a pang of resentment towards her own powerlessness.
"When you recover, please introduce me to someone. My mom is nagging me to death," Yan Aidang joked.
"You don't have a boyfriend yet?" Ye Chen'er was a little surprised. Yan Ai Dang looked like he was not young anymore.
"I'm twenty-three years old this year. I've met a few girls, but unfortunately they didn't like me. I can only ask you for help."
Yan Aidang recalled how his mother kept urging him to find a partner, wishing he could get married the next day, and constantly bringing girls over for meals.
But he really looked down on the girls in the compound. They were arrogant and domineering, and they thought too highly of themselves. They could burn the pot even when he asked them to cook.
He even shamelessly claimed that his hands were meant for building the future of the motherland, not wasted on pots and pans.
My mom was so angry that she never brought any girls to our house again. Fate is predetermined, so let it be.
Ye Chen'er mentally went through all the female educated youth in the educated youth settlement, and couldn't help but shake her head, "No way."
Yan Aidang's father was a major general, so the wives they chose had to come from respectable families and be of equal social standing. The women from the educated youth settlements were not good enough for them.
Yan Aidang patted her head: "Don't worry, these things will happen naturally when the time is right."
Ye Chen'er sighed helplessly: "Brother Ai Dang, my social circle is too small. I can't go anywhere except Mushroom Village."
"Then where is your home in Shanghai?" Yan Aidang had heard Nan Nan say that they were from Shanghai.
Ye Chen'er looked around and whispered, "Brother Ai Dang, my grandfather is a shipbuilding expert. He was taken away and we don't know what happened to him. So my uncle sent my brother and me here to be educated youth."
So they came here to seek refuge. Yan Aidang finally understood. It seems the Ye family has some background. What a pity.
“Chen’er, my father once said, ‘Opportunity is for those who don’t give up.’ Don’t give up, and tell your brother not to give up either. One day you will see the light,” Yan Aidang said in a low voice.
Ye Chen'er smiled: "Brother Ai Dang, your father's words are very similar to Nan Nan's. Nan Nan said that we should have more time to read books."
Yan Aidang was somewhat surprised that this little girl had such awareness. Who had guided her?
"Brother Ai Dang, are you going back to work in Beijing?" Ye Chen'er was really just trying to make conversation.
Yan Aidang nodded: "I've been assigned to work in a government department, and I'll be reporting for duty next quarter. I'll give you my home address and phone number later, so you can write to me when you have time."
Ye Chen'er nodded: "Brother Ai Dang, I'll write to you if I find a suitable girl."
Yan Aidang also introduced his family situation to Ye Chen'er, emphasizing his eldest brother:
"Chen'er, my older brother is also a soldier, five years older than me. He's working in another city, but he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and probably won't have the chance. If you know anyone good, could you introduce him to me?"
Ye Chen'er did the math and realized that Ai Dang's older brother should be twenty-eight years old this year. If he doesn't find a partner soon, he'll really get too old.
Nan Nan's eldest brother, Dong Nan, is 26 years old this year and has a four-year-old child. Her second brother, Xin Nan, is 23 years old this year and has been married for several years.
Ye Chen'er suddenly felt immense pressure. She hadn't solved one problem, and now another one was popping up. Sigh, why weren't those young ladies in the capital more proactive?
When Ye Chenming arrived at the train station, he quickly learned what had happened after asking around. He rushed to the hospital, hoping his sister would be alright.
Pushing open the door, I saw Yan Aidang sitting in front of his sister's bed, peeling an apple in his hand. His sister was reading a book. There was an atmosphere between the two of them that could be called tacit understanding.
Hearing the voice, Ye Chen'er looked up and quickly sat up: "Brother, you're here, come and sit down."
Ye Chenming quickly went inside: "Chen'er, how are you feeling now?"
"I'm alright now, I'm just waiting for you to pick me up, brother. I owe a lot to Brother Ai Dang and Uncle Nan Nan, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see you again," Ye Chen'er said, still shaken.
