Chapter 147 Arrival
No matter how shabby the house looked from the inside out, if it was occupied by the Yan family, even if someone from above came down, they wouldn't be able to find any problems with it.
But this house is close to the Su family's ancestral home, only a few steps away.
That place is far from the end of the village and close to the foot of the mountain. Few people usually go there. So where the Yan family really lives and what they eat, no one can know as long as the news is delivered in time and the disguise is in place.
"I think that's the right room."
After thinking for a while, Su Qingshan nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, sir!"
Only after the two most important issues were resolved did Suning feel that the sense of urgency and oppression in his heart was much less.
Seeing that it was getting late, he didn’t know when Yan Bei would be escorted here, so he thanked him and stood up, “Uncle, Auntie, I’ll go back and clean up the house first.”
"Ning, why don't you go after you have dinner? Why are you in such a hurry?"
When Liu Juan heard her say that she wanted to leave right away without waiting for her husband to say anything, she became anxious and grabbed her hand.
How can I leave when I just arrived and haven't even had the dessert or food?
"Big tits, I ate before I came here and I'm not hungry now. There's nothing at home. I have to clean up quickly or where will I sleep tonight?"
"Alright, alright, we can eat anytime. Serious matters are more important. Ningning, I'll let Jianqun take you to the carpenter's house."
Knowing that she probably had no appetite at the moment, Su Qingshan stood up, advised his wife and led her outside.
He called over his little grandson who was busy doing something, gave him a few instructions, and watched the two of them walk out the door one after the other.
"Dad, Ningning is gone? What about this sugar water?"
It took so long to make the brown sugar water, and it was ready by the time the person left.
Su Qingshan waved his hand with a sullen face, "Give it to Niu Wa and the other kids."
…
The residential plots of the First Brigade were almost all concentrated together, and the carpenter's home was not far away.
It was getting close to evening and every household was preparing dinner. I didn't meet anyone along the way.
Most of the houses are built of logs, with a few brick and tile houses, and even shacks made of rattan, thatch and plastic.
In autumn, the fields are filled with small wild chrysanthemums and red grapefruits.
"Ningning, we're here. This is the house in front."
Pointing to the yard surrounded by rocks, Su Jianqun took a few quick steps forward and shouted into the yard, "Uncle Dacheng, Uncle Dacheng, are you home?"
"Who is it?"
Soon a middle-aged man with a standard square face, wearing a vest and with broad arms came out of the room.
He opened the half-closed courtyard door and couldn't help but smile at the person who came. "It's you, Jianqun. Why are you here at this time? Come, have a bite of the spicy rice soup your aunt just made!"
"No, Uncle Dacheng, the family has prepared food and is waiting for me to go back and eat."
Food is tight in every household, and unless there is something urgent, no one would come to the door at mealtime.
Su Jianqun refused loudly with a smile, and turned his body to reveal the person behind him. "This is my cousin, the owner of the ancestral house at the foot of the back mountain. My grandfather asked me to bring her here to exchange for some stuff."
"Oh? That one..."
He glanced at the smiling girl behind him and found that she looked unfamiliar.
"What do you need, girl?"
"I need a bed, a wardrobe, a table, chairs and benches."
"Come in and take a look first. The things are all placed in the side room."
He took the two of them to a room filled with furniture and handicrafts.
There are ready-made beds, desks, cabinets, chairs and benches. The items are complete in variety and are finely polished and look pretty good.
After nodding, Suning waved his hand and not only bought all the furniture in the house, but also bought backpacks, dustpans, brooms, bamboo mats, etc.
After negotiating the price, both parties couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"So should I ship these to you now?"
"Sorry for the trouble, Uncle Dacheng."
After returning to the ancestral home and waiting for the furniture to be moved into the house and arranged one by one, I finally felt at home.
After settling the money and seeing off Su Jianqun and Lu Dacheng and his son, Suning went back into the house to count and put away the things he had bought in town.
After finishing the work in hand, thinking that Yan Bei probably hadn't eaten much all day, he went to the kitchen, lit a fire and cooked a pot of vegetable and shredded pork porridge.
…
Not long after it became completely dark, Su Ning, who was waiting at the door of the main room, vaguely heard noises coming from outside. He immediately took out a flashlight, stood up and opened the door.
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, I saw a group of people escorting something into the shabby house.
He didn't stay inside for long before he hurried out and walked away gradually in the light of the torch.
He did not rush in but waited there for a few minutes until he could no longer see the flames and was sure that there was no one around. Then he turned on the flashlight and went into the dilapidated house.
"Yanbei?"
"Suning!"
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a person sitting on the ground, curled up in the corner, not moving at all. My heart, which had been in my throat, instantly calmed down because of this familiar response.
He walked quickly forward and half-crouched, the flashlight shining around him, "How do you feel?"
"fine."
The light swayed up and down and left and right as her line of sight moved. She only stopped and looked after making sure that the person was not injured and there was nothing wrong.
Because of Mr. Tong's relationship, the interrogators were somewhat considerate and didn't make things difficult for him.
Not giving water or food is really a small matter.
"Captain, you should be familiar with him. I've already told him that they will take care of you when Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan arrive. Now follow me over there. The kitchen has cooked some vegetable and shredded pork porridge. It should be ready for us to eat."
Yan Bei helped her stand up, knowing that compared to him staying in the small dark room, she was more tired running around outside.
"Suning..."
"I won't say thank you. I believe that if I were in this situation now, you would also do your best to help me, right?"
"certainly."
"That's it, let's go."
She clenched her fists secretly, and Yan Bei's eyes, which reflected the light, were misty, making it difficult for him to see her profile clearly.
After completely forcing away the heat and suppressing the bitterness in his throat, he forced open the corners of his mouth and said "OK" with a smile.
I clearly knew that it would be safer to keep her away from me so that I wouldn't be at risk of being implicated.
But he... is really greedy.
It was like the world was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and she was the only ray of light. How could she bear to let go when she was within reach?
Back at the ancestral home, Suning asked him to sit at the dining table in the kitchen. He first took out a newly bought enamel cup and poured him a cup of hot water from the thermos, "Drink something to warm your stomach. I'll go get some porridge."
"good."
Yan Bei obediently held the enamel cup with both hands, lowered his head, and let the rising hot steam fill his eyes.
When I opened the lid, I saw that the rice in the porridge that had been simmering on low heat had broken into pieces, becoming thick and soft.
After pouring it into a bowl, sprinkle some chopped green onions on it. Suning picked up the two bowls, one on each side, walked to sit opposite him, and pushed one of the bowls over to him.
The two of them drank the porridge quietly. Although there was no talking atmosphere, it did not seem awkward. Instead, there was an indescribable warmth.
After she finished the last bite and put down her bowl and chopsticks, Yan Bei stood up first, stacked the two sets of bowls and chopsticks together, and quickly went to the stove to wash the pots and dishes.
"Tonight..."
"I'm sleeping in that shabby house. It would be bad if someone comes and finds me."
When a single man and a single woman are in the same room, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about her.
"The weather is just right now, neither too hot nor too cold. I'm in good health, don't worry."
Seeing him say that, Su Ning couldn't persuade him any more. He could only pack up the things he could use and move there with him.
Use a few wooden boards to make a simple bed, cover it with a thick straw mat and add a cotton batting so it no longer seems so hard.
"Let's just put up with it for one night, and we'll clean up the house tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it's getting late. You haven't had a good rest since yesterday. Go back to sleep first. We'll talk about everything tomorrow."
"Well, if there's anything urgent, just call me. Don't try to handle it on your own."
Are you worried that he might get sick?
She smiled and shook her head, but said "OK" obediently. Yan Bei sent her back to the ancestral home. He watched her close the gate before turning around and slowly walking back under the starry sky, with worry in his eyes no longer concealed.
I don't know how serious his father's injury is, and whether his grandparents can withstand this ordeal?
There is also my uncle’s family who went to the northwest, and Jiaming who is on his way back…
