Chapter 165 Thoughtful
Yan Bei walked with his long legs, his steps brisk but a little anxious, and the smile on his face did not fade when he returned to his residence at the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Panpan was about to light a fire and set up a small stove. Looking at his grandson's happy face, he understood something in his heart, "Xiaoqi, is it Ning girl who is back?"
"Yes grandma, I'll make it while we eat over there today."
"Haha, okay, I'll boil a kettle of hot water and wait for your old grandfather to come back before going over."
Yan Changrong and Liu Wenbo, the old friends, are still in the mood for romance. They always talk after work. Talking and reminiscing about the past is also a way to have fun in the midst of hardship.
So it was Ning's fault for the arrangement. If they hadn't come here, they wouldn't know what situation they would have ended up in.
Returning to the small room separated from the bedroom, Yan Bei quickly took out his clean clothes, took a five-minute shower, and walked out without caring about his dripping hair.
"Grandma, I'll go over first."
"Go, go, go quickly."
Blinking at him, Zhao Panpan urged him cheerfully, secretly wishing that the two of them could spend more time alone.
After passing through the small door in the backyard and arriving at the front yard, Yan Bei found that she had obediently stopped working in the kitchen and was sitting under the eaves reading a book. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction.
Without disturbing the person who was engrossed in watching, he turned around and walked to the kitchen with light steps.
When the words on the book became blurred and he smelled the aroma of food wafting into the yard, Suning finally broke free from the sea of books and rubbed the back of his neck which was a little sore and stiff.
He closed a few open medical books and put them back on the desk in the room.
When he came out of the main hall, he ran into Yan Changrong and his wife, "Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan!"
"Hey, Miss Ning is back, how are things going?"
"It's all done."
"That's good, hahaha~"
Hearing the old man's hearty laughter coming from outside, Yan Bei, who was holding the spatula, couldn't help but smile widely.
If my parents, my older brother, and my uncle's whole family were all together, there wouldn't be anything wrong even if the Yan family was no longer the same as before.
The smile in his eyes faded a little, and he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He believed that day would not be too far away.
She took the food out of the pot and put it on the dining table while shouting out the door, "Ningning, grandpa and grandma can eat now!"
…
Northeast, Kendi Farm.
After coming back from working in the fields, the women could barely get half full after eating the coarse grain steamed buns distributed to them and eating cabbage soup without any oil.
Not to mention those bigger men who are naturally better at eating.
Xiang Mingyu handed the half piece of steamed bun that he had specially reserved to his daughter, "I have been working too hard these past two days and I don't have much of an appetite. Xixi, see if you can find a chance to give this to your elder and younger brothers."
"Mom, you eat it, I'll leave mine."
Although Ms. Xiang has always had a small appetite, that was in the past. Now, how can she not feel hungry and have no appetite when doing heavy physical work?
Besides, it is easy to weaken the body if you work without eating enough, so Yan Xi could never agree to this.
But she knew in her heart that her mother said this not because she was not hungry, but because she was more worried about her father and eldest brother.
"Mom, listen..."
“Crack~”
"Who is Xiang Mingyu Yanxi? Come out!"
Before she could continue speaking, the tightly closed door suddenly opened and she was interrupted by a woman with a fat face and fierce features.
"Xixi..."
"Don't worry, Mom."
Yan Xi had heard about what happened after the sudden roll call after being here for quite a few days. He took a deep breath, secretly clenched his fists at his sides, the corners of his upturned eyes were tinged with red, and there was a bone-chilling coldness brewing in his eyes.
"Stop wasting time! You haven't eaten yet! Come out and follow me!"
Xiang Mingyu tried hard to calm himself down. His hands were shaking slightly unconsciously, but he still wanted to protect his daughter, so he used his body to block her.
"mom!"
Blocking her hand that was about to reach out to grab her, Xiang Mingyu looked at her with an extremely stern gaze for the first time and shook his head without any doubt.
Taking advantage of the moment she was stunned, he quickly walked out of the room.
"Bang~"
"Mom! Come back, I'm Yanxi, let me go! Come back!"
No matter how she pounded and shouted in frustration, there was no sound outside the door.
"Oh, your mother is going to be happy, why are you howling?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you!"
Turning his head and glaring at the person who spoke, Yan Xi spoke each word slowly and surely, as if they were being squeezed out from between his teeth.
Suddenly, he rushed over as fast as a cheetah, stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck in the blink of an eye, looking like a female devil who had returned from a fight in hell.
"I farted... Sorry, forgive me..."
Xiang Mingyu walked out of the room on the other side. The fingertips of his hands clasped together gradually turned white because he had exerted too much force. He just mechanically opened his legs and followed her.
I went over all the bad scenarios in my mind and even thought of my last words, but when I saw my eldest son waiting for me at the destination, I couldn't hold back my tears any longer and they flowed down.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Before his mother Yan Dong could even smile, he found that she was crying hard as if a faucet was turned on and couldn't be stopped.
Yan Dong was so frightened that he immediately put down the suitcase in his hand, and rushed forward to support the man, "Did that man bully you?"
"No, no..."
Reaching out her hand and quickly wiping away her tears, Xiang Mingyu didn't know how her son did it, but she also knew that the opportunity was rare and she couldn't waste it by crying.
"Dongdong, how is your dad's injury? Are you and Nannan okay?"
"Don't worry, Mom. Xiao Qi asked Wang's Xiao Xu to come over and deliver some medicine. Dad has taken it twice and it's working very well. His leg will be completely healed in a few days!"
"real?"
"It's real, more real than pearls."
"Very good!"
Hearing these affirmative words, Xiang Mingyu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally showed signs of settling down.
"These are what Xiaoqi asked Suning to prepare, and Xiaoxu brought them here. Mom, you take them back and remember to eat them with Xixi every day. You must take care of your health."
"What's this?"
"There are food, nutritional supplements, and daily necessities for changing into underwear. You will know when you go back."
"No, if you give us everything, what will you and your son do?"
"We left some. Don't worry about us, Mom. We can only feel at ease when you and Xixi are fine."
Xiang Mingyu nodded vigorously, understanding what her son meant, and assured him again and again, "Mom will take good care of herself and Xixi."
Yan Dong held her hand and clasped his palms together. Then he heard a knock on the door and knew that the time for the meeting had come.
Looking at his mother who had become much more haggard and thinner with reluctance, Yan Dong's throat suddenly choked and he almost lost his voice due to the pain.
"Mom will hold on. Everything will be fine. Don't cry, Dongdong."
Yan Dong nodded randomly, turned his back, wiped his eyes, forced a smile, hugged her gently before letting go, and left with the guard Shi Dali escorting him through the opened door.
She covered her face and cried for a long time before she stopped. As the fat woman urged her again in dissatisfaction, Xiang Mingyu lifted the big suitcase with some difficulty and returned to his cell.
"Mother!"
"Xixi, it's okay, it's okay, he's your big brother."
As soon as the door opened, Xiang Mingyu saw his daughter rushing out like crazy. He immediately dropped the suitcase in his hand, hugged her, and gave a simple and quick explanation.
"Brother?"
"Yes, he sent this to us."
After hearing this and knowing that it was not the worst-case scenario he had worried about, Yan Xi suppressed his murderous aura.
Helped my mother carry the large suitcase back to their bed.
When they opened the box and checked the contents, they found that in addition to what Yan Dong had mentioned, there were also monthly private items sandwiched between the mother and daughter's underwear. The two were even more excited and happy than when they saw the candies and cakes.
"Ningning is such a caring little girl!"
As a grown man, Yan Bei would never think of preparing these things.
"That's good. I don't have to worry anymore. Thanks Ningning!"
There are less than a few days left before her period comes, and Yan Xi has been secretly worried about it. Not knowing what to do when the time comes, she even wonders if she should follow the others and stuff some wood ash in her pants?
She couldn't help but squeeze her legs together just thinking about it. Finally, she didn't have to experience that feeling anymore.
"Did Big Brother tell me how Xiao Qi is doing, and what's the news about Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle?"
"I haven't had time to talk yet. The time we have to meet is too short."
"There's always a chance that we'll run into each other in the cafeteria in the next two days. I'll ask then."
