"you……"
Ye Hui looked left at Chu Yan and right at Ye Nian'an.
That's when it finally dawned on me.
It turns out that her younger sister really did fulfill her marriage agreement with Chu Yan.
After all the twists and turns, it was Chu Yan who ended up by Ye Nian'an's side.
Ye Nian'an looked at Chu Yan with a smile and gestured with her eyes.
Chu Yan called out in perfect unison, "Second Brother."
"Cough cough cough!"
Ye Hui was so startled by Chu Yan's address of "Second Brother" that he choked on his saliva and couldn't help but cough wildly.
What's this?
Super generational reduction?
He went from being called "Brother-in-law" to "Brother-in-law".
Ye Nian'an, holding Chu Yan's arm, stood in front of Ye Hui: "Although a lot has happened in between, I think... if I'm with Brother Yan, Second Brother will definitely bless us."
"Blessings! Of course, blessings!"
Ye Hui nodded repeatedly: "If so many things hadn't happened, who wouldn't want our two families to be united by marriage?"
“Niannian, when Mom and Dad first brought this up, I was against it, but I didn’t want you to suffer in the countryside…”
"Forget about that, let's just go back to the way things were!"
Ye Hui was a few centimeters shorter than Chu Yan. Chu Yan was a standard 1.88 meters tall, while Ye Hui was 1.84 meters tall.
At the same time, Ye Hui is also a year younger than Chu Yan.
This time, Ye Hui patted Chu Yan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Thank you, Yan...brother-in-law, for bringing my sister here."
"They took such good care of her; I can never repay their kindness."
Chu Yan's gaze narrowed slightly: "I should be the one saying these words of thanks. You understand my feelings for Nian Nian."
"I am more grateful than anyone else to have gotten it back."
As he spoke, his gentle gaze met Ye Nian'an's, radiant with light.
Every time Chu Yan embraced Ye Nian'an and kissed her passionately, he would sincerely thank God...
Fortunately, I didn't lose her completely.
Ye Hui could sense that Chu Yan wasn't angry, which put his mind at ease.
Although it was a last resort at the time, and they had discussed it with the Chu family, it was indeed too disrespectful.
For this, he always felt guilty towards Chu Yan.
However, for the sake of her younger sister's lifelong happiness, she had no choice but to apologize to Chu Yan.
Ye Nian'an then asked, "Second brother, how are Mom, Dad, my eldest brother, and my third brother?"
"Don't worry, Niannian. Although life here is not as good as in the city, we have three men who can support the family no matter what. We're doing alright."
“After I got back yesterday, I told my dad and the others about the marking. They all guessed that the Chu family had come to the Red Star Brigade. It was something we had all discussed beforehand.”
"I just didn't expect you to come along... They'll be so happy to see you. Everyone goes to work in the morning, and then they'll come back in the afternoon saying they're not feeling well."
"Let's stay here for a while and go over after Dad and the others come back, so that outsiders won't see us."
Having been sent down to this point, Ye Hui had already learned what it meant to "act cautiously".
No matter how small the weakness, it cannot be easily exposed to outsiders. They are being sent down to the countryside, not just to the rural areas. They are different from others.
Who knows what the other party is thinking? If they even have the intention to kick someone when they're down, the situation will become extremely dangerous.
"good."
The group chatted about everyday things to pass the time.
Before we knew it, it was already noon.
"That's about it, follow me."
Ye Hui made a gesture and quickly led Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan down the mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, we walked another kilometer and found a thatched hut standing there all alone.
It occupies an area of about 40 to 50 square meters, with two large rooms, one small room, and a toilet and stove that were recently built.
The walls were plastered with cement, windows were added, and a ring of bricks was placed around the outside.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Nian'an couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
Although the thatched hut looks fine now, she knows that it is the result of the Ye family's hard work when they went to the countryside a few months ago.
When Ye Xiang and his group first arrived here, it was definitely not like this. They built it themselves, brick by brick.
"Come in quickly."
Ye Hui spoke first, interrupting Ye Nian'an's thoughts.
Ye Nian'an asked, "Second Brother, where you live is so far from the educated youth settlement?"
"Yes, the brigade leader originally wanted to assign us to the educated youth settlement and had even made arrangements beforehand, but those educated youths felt it was bad luck to be there because of our identities and were unwilling..."
"As you know, Dad didn't want to argue with people, so he simply moved out of the educated youth settlement. But it's convenient this way; we don't have to deal with those people anymore, and we can all live our own lives."
Ye Nian'an gritted her teeth: "What's so bad about being an intellectual? We're all just glorious working people!"
"It's a shame they're educated; have they forgotten who their teachers are?"
“Niannian, the world is cold and indifferent. Ever since Dad was inexplicably stripped of his university professorship and sent to the countryside, I’ve long since come to terms with it. There’s no need to get angry over people who aren’t worth it.”
"By the way, you were also sent down here. Are you staying at the educated youth settlement? Did they give you any trouble?"
Ye Nian'an was about to speak in response.
Just then, a creaking sound came from the doorway.
A travel-worn woman walked towards them. Upon seeing her, Ye Nian'an instinctively blurted out, "Mom!"
Upon hearing Ye Nian'an call her "Mom," Jin Xiangyu trembled, dropping her things with a thud.
