Chapter 163 Meeting
"Brother?"
Like a conditioned reflex, Yan Nan's back couldn't help but tighten when he saw the dangerous light flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Yan Dong came back to his senses and shook his head at him, with no intention of saying more.
Although his younger brothers and sisters are only a few years younger than him, as the eldest one, he can almost be said to have raised them all by himself.
Therefore, Yan Dong has always been accustomed to taking care of all the things for them, just hoping that his younger brothers and sisters can live a comfortable and happy life.
Even now, it will take some time to change this mentality.
Yan Nan carefully put the two newly wrapped paper bags into his pocket, then put on his cotton coat and pressed them subconsciously.
Although he didn't know how much money Suning's eldest brother sent, but looking at his expression, Yan Nan already had some guesses about the medicine he got in exchange.
It's like a tiger in troubled waters being bullied by a dog!
He ground his back teeth, and a fire suddenly appeared in his eyes. He took a few deep breaths to suppress it.
"Xiao Nan, I'm going to work on the farm later, you stay and take good care of dad."
This was a bonus given by Shi Dali, who was quite satisfied with the simplicity of this project.
In short, being able to temporarily save the two of them from the heavy work is undoubtedly the best thing for my father's current situation.
"Brother, why don't I do the work..."
"Listen to me."
"oh."
…
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and Yan Ziyu had finished taking all the medicine. The wound did not worsen further but it did not heal either.
Now he has a persistent low-grade fever, but he still has to limp and grit his teeth to complete the heavy tasks assigned by his superiors every day.
This would be nothing less than a vicious cycle, making his injury heal more slowly and getting worse as time goes on.
In just a few days, he lost weight rapidly and became extremely thin.
The large cotton-padded jacket that originally fitted her well now looked empty, as if it was hanging on a skeleton.
The two brothers Yan Dong and Yan Nan saw this and were very worried. They could only work hard to finish their tasks every day so that they could turn around and help him.
The reclamation farm is vast and sparsely populated, so each of them is responsible for reclaiming more than ten acres of land. In addition, they have to fertilize the land before it freezes.
Not only do they need to turn the soil, plow the land, dig up stones and tree roots, but they also have to irrigate, apply manure and spread wood ash. If they don't have enough food or sleep, they would find it hard to endure a day's work even with their physical fitness.
Not to mention the injured father and the weak mother.
While getting his meal, Yan Nan quickly searched the crowd for Xiang Mingyu and her daughter.
Until he saw that familiar figure, the joy in his eyes immediately surged out.
You have to know that people in a cell take turns to get food, and no one wants to be alone for this rare opportunity to go out for fresh air, so it's purely a matter of luck for them to get a chance.
The brother and sister's eyes met unexpectedly, and after nodding in tacit understanding, they passed the people around them and lined up behind the same team one after another.
"Brother, how are you, Dad and little brother?"
"We're fine. Dad's leg isn't healed yet. How about you and mom? Is anyone bullying you over there? Are you healthy and can you hold on?"
Thinking about the hardships he had endured these days, Yan Xi sniffed sharply and blinked away the tears that unconsciously gathered in his eyes.
I have to be strong in front of my mother so that I can support her and not let down my temper.
She knew that her mother cried secretly every night behind her back, out of heartache and worry.
"I'm here, they won't dare to do anything. Don't worry about us, brother. I will take good care of mom. As for dad..."
"Don't worry, let mom do the same. I will do my best to take care of dad's injury."
Yan Dong lowered his eyes slightly, knowing that what he said was just consolation. All the letters he had sent out had been returned. With no help and no money, how could he solve his current predicament?
Forced to smile, Yan Dong quickly reached out his hand and rubbed the top of her head, pretending not to notice her wet eyelashes, "Now that our Xixi has grown up, Mom will be left to you to take care of her."
"Yes! I will..."
"It's your turn now. What are you mumbling about? Hurry up!"
The rare moment of warmth was interrupted, and the brother and sister both looked unhappy, with their eyes becoming colder than the other.
The man who was shouting was so cold that his hand holding the spoon began to tremble, but seeing that neither of them was a pushover, he didn't say anything more.
But the hands that were serving them food were shaking as if they had cramps. The sauerkraut and minced pork stewed with vermicelli was so light that there was not much minced meat to begin with, and in the end there was not a single drop of meat left.
Already knowing the mentality of these villains, he suppressed his anger and the two men did not argue with him as he wished, but turned and left.
"Tsk~"
The man raised his lips and a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes: I thought you were so tough, but this is it?
When they were about to part, they looked at each other for the last time and had to swallow back the words they hadn't had time to say.
Yan Dong took a deep breath and was about to turn around when he saw Shi Dali, with whom he had done a deal before, rushing towards him in a hurry.
"You, you Yandong, come with me!"
"Brother?"
Hearing this, Yan Xi stopped immediately, turned around quickly and took a few steps forward, subconsciously trying to block him behind him.
Thinking of the person in their room who was taken away and then came back, Yan Xi's expression couldn't help but become a little anxious.
"It's okay, Xixi. You go back first. It's cold now and the food will be cold soon."
Shi Dali didn't care what they thought, and stuffed all the dishes and pancakes in Yan Dong's hand into the hands of the guard beside him, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up!"
Shaking his head at her, Yan Dong quickly left with Shi Dali under Yan Xi's worried gaze.
When he was taken out of the checkpoint and came to a dormitory building where the guards were standing, Yan Dong raised his eyebrows but his expression did not change.
"Brother Dong!"
"Xiao Xu, why is it you?"
It was not until he was rudely pushed and shoved into a room and saw the people inside, waiting anxiously like flies, that his face changed significantly.
Turning back and forgetting that the door had already closed, Yan Dong could no longer control his excitement and quickly stepped forward a few steps, "Why are you here at this time?"
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I'm going to run a trip for Abei. Brother Dong, these are the things he asked me to bring. Take a look at them."
In order to make it easier to carry, Suning tried his best to cram all the things he needed into two large suitcases when preparing.
It’s just that big items like quilts are hard to carry, so I could only bring more money and let him figure it out.
Wang Xu was delayed for most of the day because of this, otherwise he would have arrived early in the morning.
"I only have so many cotton tickets, so I bought two. I will stay here for a few days and then I will think of a way to get more."
"There's no rush. When we left, someone sent us cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, and bedding. These two pieces you have are enough."
"Oh, and the most important thing!"
Wang Xu hurriedly took out the small bag hidden in his arms and handed it over. "Abei heard about Uncle Yan's injury. I got this medicine specially for you. Remember to give it to Uncle when you get back."
Following Suning's instructions, he explained to him the medicines in the porcelain bottles one by one.
Yan Dong hugged the medicine bottles tightly and almost burst into tears, "Xiao Xu, thank you!"
It really saved my life, it was so timely!
"Haha, I didn't do anything. I just ran errands for my eldest brother."
"Thank you, brother, and Uncle Wang, too."
He touched his nose foolishly. Wang Xu, who had always been lazy and was often criticized for being unserious, was thanked in such a serious manner for the first time. He was a little uncomfortable with it.
As for those words about the Yan family, he sneered and didn't take it to heart. No matter whether the Yan family is in a mess now or not, as long as he, his brother and the people the Wang family have chosen are still there, it's enough.
It was also because of his reputation that no one cared whether he was at home or not, so he was entrusted with important tasks.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu subconsciously straightened his back: I am still useful!
With his mouth almost grinning from brow to brow, Wang Xu happily turned around and pushed the two large suitcases over one by one. "Shi Dali said that we only have ten minutes. Brother Dong, take your things in first. I'll come to see you tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, I've given them enough benefits. They won't check it anymore. Brother Dong, just take it with you."
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Yeah, OK!"
Now that he has the medicine, Yan Dong naturally wants to go back as soon as possible to give it to his father. As for the news from the outside world, he will have time to inquire about it in detail tomorrow.
Carrying two large boxes of things, they arrived at their residence. Sure enough, none of the guards jumped out. Yan Dong breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he thought to himself: It would cost a lot to make them close their eyes and watch.
