“I have relatives who are also working in the countryside there, and I was wondering if there would be a chance to meet them. After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen them, and I miss them quite a bit.”
Ye Nian'an's statement was vague.
After all, given their family relationship, there's no need to reveal too much to someone you've only met once.
Qin Yunze explained without any suspicion, "It's not far, you can get there by crossing the back mountain of the village."
"However, the terrain in the back mountain is complicated, so you need someone who is experienced and often goes up the mountain to guide you, otherwise it is easy to get lost."
"Which direction is the mountain behind the village in?"
"It's just to the west. You can see it if you walk three kilometers from the educated youth settlement."
Ye Nian'an couldn't hide her joy: "Thank you, Qin Zhiqing!"
"You're welcome. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have."
After Qin Yunze left, Chi Xinyao was also very excited: "Niannian, that means if we cross this back mountain, we'll be able to see the Ye family!"
"Niannian, don't worry, I'll go to the back mountain to scout out the way in the next three days."
"Let's see if we can find a good route to the Red Flag Brigade."
Chu Yan spoke without hesitation.
She knew in her heart how much Ye Nian'an longed to see her family, which was why she was willing to break up with Zhang Weiguo and return to the Chu family in the first place.
Since it's my wife's deepest wish, I'm determined to make it happen.
Not only Ye Nian'an, but Chu Yan and others were also worried about the Ye family and wanted to tell them the good news of the two getting their marriage certificate as soon as possible to get their blessings.
Ye Nian'an took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down from her emotionally unstable state.
"Don't rush, Brother Yan. Tomorrow we'll repair the house first and ask the brigade leader for some materials."
"Of course we have to go to the back mountain. We need to calculate how long it will take to get to the Red Flag Brigade and what route to take."
"But we don't need to waste too much time thinking about that. I just don't believe it..."
"No one in this village has been to the back mountain, is familiar with the environment there, or even been to the Hongqi Brigade. We just need to find this person and ask him clearly."
Ye Nian'an wanted to see her parents and three older brothers more than anyone else present, to throw herself into their arms and feel their warmth as if they were still alive.
However, the more anxious you are, the more you need to stay rational.
The best way to see your family is to find the best solution!
“Niannian is right. We need to build good relationships with the people around us first. Once we have a clear understanding of the route and what to be aware of on the mountain, we can find our way up the mountain more efficiently.”
"With Chu Yan's skills and memory honed in the army, he won't forget a path once he's been there. When he has time, he can go to the Red Flag Brigade to see the Ye family."
Chu Zhenyuan strongly agreed with Ye Nian'an's idea and took the initiative to speak.
Let's leave it at that for now.
That side.
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
Wang Zhiqiang sat in the chair, his stomach rumbling loudly.
My whole body felt limp, and I lost all my mischievous thoughts.
"Honey, wait here, Mom will go get you something to eat."
Lin Xiaojiao was just about to get some dry food for Wang Zhiqiang's dinner.
At that moment, the aroma of meat wafted through the air.
Wang Zhiqiang's nose twitched, and his mouth instantly watered: "Mom! It smells like meat! Someone's stir-frying meat! It smells so good!"
"That's outrageous! Who's so extravagant that they even cook meat?"
Lin Xiaojiao muttered curses under her breath, but her stomach was also rumbling with hunger.
But what could she do when it was someone else's cooking meat?
The wages for those sent to the countryside were distributed based on work points, and their daily meals consisted of porridge, sweet potatoes, and green vegetables.
If you can add some pork cracklings and minced meat to your meal, that's considered a feast.
If you want to eat meat to your heart's content, you have to wait for holidays or special occasions when you get a share of meat.
There are no holidays right now, yet some people at the educated youth settlement are just cooking meat. They really don't know how to manage their money!
However, Wang Zhiqiang didn't care about any of that and immediately rushed out of the house following the smell of meat.
At this moment, two other children in the educated youth settlement smelled the aroma of meat and joined Wang Zhiqiang.
Wang Zhiqiang, speaking in a similarly old-fashioned tone, asked, "Did you also follow the smell of meat out here?"
Looking at the chubby Wang Zhiqiang in front of them, the two rather thin little boys nodded: "Yes, when someone cooks meat, we all run out to smell it."
"Even if we can't eat it, just smelling it is good enough."
His eyes revealed his longing for Wang Zhiqiang.
To be able to get so fat, one must come from a well-off family and be pampered.
Unlike them, who are as thin as bamboo poles.
"Why bother smelling it? Just go eat the meat!"
The two little boys were instantly dumbfounded: "Huh? We're just going to eat it? Did your family cook this meat?"
But the direction the smell is coming from doesn't seem right.
Wang Zhiqiang clearly ran out from the house on the west side.
But the aroma of meat comes from the east.
Besides, meat is such a precious thing. Even if it was cooked by Wang Zhiqiang's family, they're not capitalists. Why would they let outsiders eat it?
"Just follow me! I don't usually bring ordinary people along; I keep them all to myself. But I'm new here and need to recruit a few underlings, so I'll take you with me!"
"As long as you follow me, you're guaranteed to live a life of luxury! I used to have five or six underlings around where I lived, and everyone was living comfortably!"
Urged on by Wang Zhiqiang, the two little boys were skeptical.
As long as I can really get them to eat meat, I'd be willing to acknowledge them as my elder brother, or even as my biological brother!
