"Brother Yan, you go to work first. I can manage here by myself."
Chu Yan pursed his lips: "Niannian, why don't I stay and help you?"
"No problem. The brigade leader gave you permission to take leave to pick me up in town yesterday. Now is a crucial time, so don't take leave."
If they continue to invite them like this, the Chu family might end up owing the Shi family a favor.
Although there are no work points for taking leave, during the busy farming season, any leave must have a legitimate reason and be approved by the brigade.
Chu Yan always asked for leave for Ye Nian'an's sake, rather than because he actually had a health problem. Over time, this made it too easy for people to gossip.
Chu Yan thought that made sense: "...Okay, I'll come and help you after I'm done with my work."
"kindness."
After seeing Chu Yan off, Ye Nian'an roughly organized the cooperative medical station and categorized the remaining medicines.
Some of the medicines had already expired, so Ye Nian'an put them in another box, planning to deal with them when Shi Minghui came over.
Ye Nian'an also had to personally take care of cleaning the medical station.
Otherwise, she would always feel uncomfortable if the place where she was treated was messy and dirty.
In other places, one can tolerate things due to environmental constraints, but in this place, one cannot tolerate them at all.
Before I knew it, I was busy with this work until 11 a.m.
Chu Yan carried Shi Minghui on his bicycle to the cooperative medical station.
Looking at how clean and tidy the place was, Shi Minghui exclaimed in admiration, "Comrade Ye Nian'an, did you do all of this by yourself? That's incredibly fast and impressive."
Ye Nian'an smiled slightly: "Captain, please don't flatter me. This place is only so big, it won't take much time."
"I'm so sorry, I actually wanted to send Little Stone over to help you, but the last barefoot doctor had a really strange temper. He liked to make a mess and wouldn't let anyone touch it."
"He said that if we didn't leave it like that, he wouldn't be able to find any medicinal herbs he needed, and he even said that if anything happened, I, the captain, would have to take the blame. Really..."
Ye Nian'an nodded: "That's normal. My grandfather is like that. Even I can't just mess around with his pharmacy, otherwise I'll easily mix things up."
"However, I don't need that. I just need to put the medicine in the drawer and label it. I need some label paper and stickers."
"Okay, Comrade Ye Nian'an, is there anything else you need? Let me know and I'll have someone bring it over for you."
Ye Nian'an wrote a list and handed it to Shi Minghui.
Then they gave him the expired medicine, hoping he could find a place where no one would know to throw it away and dispose of it properly.
No one can predict what side effects will occur when medicines expire.
I'm afraid some people will be greedy and secretly pick up these expired medicines to eat.
It's fine if it doesn't have any effect, but if it causes problems, it's difficult to handle.
After much thought, it was best to entrust the task to Shi Minghui.
"I understand, Comrade Ye Nian'an. I'll make the arrangements right away."
After Shi Minghui left, Ye Nian'an asked Chu Yan to help her carry some things and build a few cabinets so that she could store her things conveniently.
Chu Yan couldn't help with other tasks, but he took on all the physical labor and did it quickly and well.
After receiving the materials, they quickly built the cabinet according to Ye Nian'an's requirements.
Looking at the tightly constructed cabinet, Ye Nian'an was very satisfied: "Brother Yan is really skillful."
"It's not even a fraction of what Niannian has done; this is all I can do..."
Chu Yan's tone carried a hint of guilt.
If he could cook as well as Ye Nian'an and know medicine, that would be great, as he could share more of her burdens.
"It's already good enough, Yan-ge. As the saying goes, men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs. As a husband, you can help me a lot, and I'm satisfied. I don't expect you to be omnipotent and know everything."
Ye Nian'an took the initiative to throw herself into Chu Yan's arms and spoke with a smile.
You can't always rely on men to provide you with emotional support.
In matters of the heart, mutual understanding and giving are essential for mutual growth.
It's just a matter of talking; everyone's happy, so why not?
Chu Yan stroked Ye Nian'an's head in his arms, then lowered his eyes and kissed her smooth forehead.
His Niannian is so well-behaved, gentle, and considerate.
The words that came out of those lips touched people's hearts deeply.
It may appear delicate, but it is actually incredibly strong.
At this moment, Chu Yan was extremely grateful... thankfully, after all the twists and turns, she had finally returned to his arms.
Otherwise, if he missed out on such a rare treasure, he might never be able to be attracted to other women in his life.
The affection they've shared since childhood has made this woman irreplaceable in Chu Yan's heart.
"Cough cough cough!"
An untimely cough suddenly came from outside the door.
Chu Xin'er walked in carrying a lunchbox, scratching the back of her head: "Sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to bump into you, it was really just a coincidence."
Ignoring her own brother's murderous glare, she no longer cared what her scumbag brother thought, as long as her sister-in-law didn't hate her.
Ye Nian'an smiled slightly: "Xin'er, what delicious food did you make for lunch today?"
"Hehe~ We were short on time, so Mom and I just made something quick and easy. You guys eat up."
While Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan were eating, Chu Xin'er suddenly approached her sister-in-law mysteriously and asked, "Sister-in-law, guess who I saw when I brought the food over?"
Ye Nian'an slowly chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth before replying, "Who?"
“Su Mingyue! Ever since we exposed her in public and beat her up last time, we haven’t seen her for a long time. She’s been hiding in the Bai family’s house.”
"I bumped into her today. When she saw me, she just glared at me fiercely. I even made a few sarcastic remarks to her, but she didn't say a word and just left."
Chu Xin'er pouted.
After all, Su Mingyue had already paid the price for her actions, and after so much time, Chu Xin'er's initial anger had subsided considerably.
Surely you wouldn't just dislike Su Mingyue and then beat her up or kill her if you ran into her.
"It's normal to run into them; you can't hide in the Bai family forever and never see anyone."
"As long as she learns from this lesson and doesn't bother us again, we can live our own lives and not want to have anything to do with her."
