On Monday, Yan Xiaonan was carrying her schoolbag and getting ready to go to school. Just as she reached the door, Xiaolu ran over and stood in front of her, looking like she was determined to follow her wherever she went.
Yan Xiaonan squatted down and stroked the fawn's head, saying, "Fawn, I'm going to school now. I have a task for you: stay with my grandma, okay?"
The little deer glanced at Grandma Yan with its big deer eyes. Grandma Yan was sitting alone in a recliner, listlessly holding a pipe, preparing to light a cigarette. The little deer took two steps back and made way for her.
Yan Xiaonan said to Grandma Yan with some concern, "Grandma, if you're feeling bored, let my mom take you out for a walk, buy some food and drinks, or go for a stroll in the park to meet some neighbors. Don't just sit at home all the time, you'll get really bored."
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly. How could her granddaughter be so good? She would ask Cuihua to accompany her for a walk later. Staying at home all the time was not a good thing.
Yan Xiaoqiang was also preparing to send Liujin to school. He also needed to prepare some materials to build a nest for the fawn in the corner of the west wing: "Mom, wait for me to come back after I send Liujin. Then I'll go out with you. I need to buy some books and some materials to build a nest for the fawn."
As if understanding Yan Xiaoqiang's words, Xiaolu ran to the corner of the west wing and squatted there without moving. Yan Xiaoqiang was delighted and patted his head, saying, "This guy is just as smart as Zhongnan."
"Nan Nan, Nan Nan, can we go now?" Ye Chen'er ran over. Every weekend, the young couple would spend their honeymoon in the second courtyard house. Actually, Yan Ai Dang preferred the first courtyard house, where there was more life.
"Ready? Let's go, Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, we're off!" Yan Xiaonan called out.
"Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, we're going to school," Ye Chen'er called out.
"Be careful, and come home early on Friday," Grandma Yan called out.
"Go home early!" Liu Jin called out.
Cuihua handed two baskets to the two of them, saying, "Bring the baskets back with you this time, we don't have many left at home."
The two took the basket; it contained a week's worth of food and snacks, which they would rely on to keep themselves occupied while reading and writing at night.
At the entrance of the alley, Ye Chenming stood as straight as a pine tree, attracting the attention of the young women and wives who blushed and stole glances at him. But his eyes were only on the ethereal figure that walked out of the courtyard.
Yesterday afternoon, he received a letter from Ye Chen'er. He was so anxious that he took the letter to his superior. His superior had already received instructions from Xue Honggen to give the young man two days of vacation every month, so as not to waste his precious youth.
Upon hearing that he needed to ask for leave, he nodded without hesitation and said, "No need to ask for leave. You have two days off every month. You can decide when it would be best to arrange it."
Ye Chenming could hardly believe his ears. His beautiful eyes were filled with shock and surprise as he looked at his leader, which startled the leader, who quickly lowered his head to avoid Ye Chenming's gaze. In his heart, however, he thought to himself, "Why does a grown man have to be so good-looking?"
Ye Chenming saluted the leader: "I'm taking a vacation today, thank you, leader."
The leader watched Ye Chenming rush out in a hurry, then looked out the window at the blue sky and white clouds. The weather was just right, and the young, restless heart was perfect for a romantic love affair.
Ye Chenming quickly returned to his dormitory and changed out of his military uniform. He was going to fight today, and wearing the uniform was not appropriate.
When Ye Chen'er saw Ye Chenming standing at the alley entrance, she felt relieved. She had rushed to the post office early yesterday morning to request an urgent mail delivery. The post office clerk had given her an extra four cents in stamps, ensuring that the mail would arrive on the same day.
Yan Xiaonan was a little surprised. Today was Monday. Didn't Ye Chenming have to go to class? Especially since his studies were so demanding, why would he be waiting for her here? Could something have happened?
"Nan Nan, I've come to take you to school." Ye Chenming ran over quickly and took Yan Xiaonan's little hand in his hand.
With Ye Chenming by her side, the bus wasn't so crowded anymore. Yan Xiaonan knew that Ye Chenming was using his body to shield her from the pressure and prevent anyone from squeezing next to her. As for Chen'er, she gave Ye Chenming a resentful look, thinking, "Now that you have a wife, you've forgotten your sister. If I knew this, I wouldn't write to you anymore."
Ye Chenming was wronged. It was normal for him to protect one girl, but he would be criticized for protecting two, especially since both girls were so beautiful.
"Nan Nan, you should ride your bicycles to school from now on. The buses are too crowded," Ye Chenming suggested.
Yan Xiaonan shook her head. There was only one bicycle at home, and she rode it away for a whole week. It was inconvenient for her parents to go out to buy groceries or other necessities.
Ye Chen'er does have a bicycle, but she doesn't want to ride it in order to stay with Yan Xiaonan.
Ye Chenming is such a smart and meticulous person. He figured out the reason after thinking about it. He was thinking that after settling accounts with Liu Decai, he would go to the department store to buy a bicycle. Luckily, he had brought his ticket and money with him.
Ye Chenming led two girls into the campus, causing a stir among the female students. Who was this handsome boy? Could he be a late freshman? That would be great! There were two beautiful girls in the school, but no handsome boys.
One of the two beauties was married, and the other had a boyfriend. So, did this handsome young man have a chance to become their boyfriend? The girls all started to have their own ideas.
"Hello Ye Chen'er, congratulations on your marriage!" A pretty girl classmate ran over.
Ye Chen'er could tell what the other person was up to at a glance, and replied with amusement, "Thank you for your blessing."
The girl with the snake stick followed, glanced at Ye Chenming and said, "Chen'er, could you introduce the boy next to you?"
Ye Chen'er noticed that the girls around her had all perked up their ears, waiting for her to speak: "This is my brother, Ye Chenming, and also Yan Xiaonan's fiancé."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, their disappointment glaringly obvious. It turned out that Yan Xiaonan really did have a boyfriend, and wasn't lying to Liu Decai.
Hu Lisha was also standing among the girls, secretly sending Ye Chenming a whiff of affection. Hearing this, she felt extremely annoyed. How could these two sisters take all the good stuff? It was so unfair.
But she wouldn't dare to go up and provoke them. Yan Xiaonan is Yan Aidang's cousin, and Yan Aidang is not someone to be trifled with. She might end up getting nothing but trouble instead of getting the lamb.
Suddenly, Hu Lisha's eyes lit up. She hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and searched everywhere for Liu Decai. Liu Decai was sitting in the classroom, staring blankly at the blackboard.
The day before yesterday, the old man repeatedly told me not to get close to Yan Xiaonan. Not to mention that the girl is Yan Daqiang's niece, just based on her appearance, she will be a troublemaker in the future. Do you like wearing hats in the future?
The thought of being cheated on finally calmed Liu Decai's restless heart. His father didn't agree to the marriage, and his mother and sister had already offended the Yan family. There was no point in trying to salvage the situation, so he decided to give up.
