Yan Ruhai: “…” It hits my heart.
Yan Rushan said coldly, "Just focus on your work and research. It's unrealistic to overthink."
"Dear brother, can you not be so poisonous?" Every word hit home. "You're going to poison your brother to death."
Yan Rushan responded indifferently, Yan Ruhai looked pitiful, and Yan's father and mother were both angry and amused. Yan's mother spoke up, "Okay, you look grown up, but you're still so childish. When will you be as mature and steady as your big brother?"
"Why should I be so steady? Isn't it good to have my eldest brother who is steady at home?" Yan Ruhai asked with a smile, "If both of your sons were so steady, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?"
Yan's mother stared at him coldly, "No, our family will never be short of fun with your three little nephews."
Yan Ruhai was stunned by what he said. He felt terrible and said, "Ah, Grandpa, you see, my mother no longer wants her son now that she has a grandson. Now that she has a nephew, she can abandon her own son."
"No, at least your eldest brother won't be abandoned." Old Master Yan shook his head with a smile. His little grandson really needed to grow up. "You! You should think about how to find a wife as soon as possible. Otherwise, your mother will have to worry about you."
"Grandpa, you are also in the same group with my mother. I miss my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law never hits me like this."
Yan Ruhai made the whole family laugh, except Yan Rushan, who stood still as he watched Yan Ruhai play with the monkey.
The family spent a few days happily together. On the eighth day of the New Year, the family moved some of their luggage to the yard in Hongxing Village. Yan's father and mother's vacation was over and they had to return to the army. Zhong Yuxiu did not go to the research institute that day. She accompanied Yan Rushan and Yan Ruhai to send Yan's father and mother to the station.
Zhong Yuxiu handed the small package she had prepared long ago to Yan's mother and whispered in her ear, "Mom and Dad, don't open it on the way. When you get to the army, you and Dad will each have one. Remember, you can't keep any. Drink it when you get back, and then soak it in hot water for half an hour."
Mother Yan looked at the small bag in her hand, an ordinary coarse cloth bag; she felt two things, but didn't know what they were, so she didn't ask much. Her daughter-in-law had been married into the family for several years, so how could she not have some trust?
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll drink with your dad when I get home." Mother Yan held Zhong Yuxiu's hand and said earnestly, "Yuxiu, you're a good girl and a good wife. We have a stable Yan family today, and you've made a lot of contributions. But my eldest son can be quite irritating sometimes. If he does something unreasonable, feel free to argue with him. I've got your back, so don't be afraid."
Zhong Yuxiu was so moved that her eyes turned red. Although Yan Rushan had never bullied her, it did not stop her from being moved!
"Thank you, Mom. You and Dad, take care in the army. If there's a chance, Rushan and I will take the children to visit you."
Mother Yan rubbed her daughter-in-law's hand and still felt that her daughter was more caring. Look, her daughter-in-law is even more caring than her son. Unfortunately, there has been no daughter in their Yan family for several generations. Now that the family planning policy has been implemented, a family can only have one child. There is no hope for the eldest son, and it is not known whether the younger son will have one.
"Don't come. The military base is remote and the conditions aren't very good. The children are young, so don't let them get hurt. Your grandfather also needs your care." Yan's mother sighed again. "Your father and I are away from home all year round, and Xiaohai is so naive that he can't leave the institute every day. The family depends entirely on you and your wife to take care of it. Just take good care of the children and your grandfather. We will ask for leave to come back when we have time."
Yan Rushan stepped forward and put his arm around his wife's shoulders. "Mom and Dad, please leave quickly. Don't miss the bus."
"You little bastard, what's wrong with me, your mother, talking to your wife? Why are you in such a hurry to send us away?" Yan's mother glared at her eldest son and waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, let's stop talking, Yuxiu! It's hard work for you and Dashan at home."
"I know. Take care of yourselves, Mom and Dad." Zhong Yuxiu responded readily.
Yan Ruhai stepped forward and said, "Mom and Dad, take care of yourselves. Keep the things your sister-in-law gave you and Dad safe and don't lose them."
"I got it. We'll leave first. The bus has arrived. You can go back too. The journey back to Hongxing Village is long. Don't be too busy in the mountains. There is no end to business and no end to money. Family is the most important. It's important to take more time to take care of your family. Yuxiu understands you. You can't take it for granted." Yan's mother was afraid that her son would mistreat his daughter-in-law. Where can she find such a good daughter-in-law?
A top student, a genius among geniuses, who has achieved extraordinary things at a young age; she is a good wife to her family, taking care of the elderly, raising children, and being a good helper to her husband. She is generous, has no shortage of money or status, and she lives with her son wholeheartedly. Her son should not let this love fade away.
Yan Rushan nodded. Zhong Yuxiu looked up with a smile and saw Yan Rushan also looking at her. His fair face flushed and he smiled slightly.
Yan's mother nodded with satisfaction, and told them to take good care of themselves and asked her eldest son to take good care of his wife. Then she followed Yan's father and left.
After watching them get into the car and drive away, the three of them returned to the compound.
Yan Ruhai originally wanted to take a rest and then return to Hongxing Village, but unexpectedly, he received a call from the research institute, asking him to go back immediately; Yan Ruhai had to pack up some things and left most of the things at home in Hongxing Village, only taking a few clothes with him.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time. Grandpa is much better now. Thank you, sister-in-law. It's all thanks to you." Yan Ruhai felt guilty and ashamed. "Grandpa used to worry about me and work hard for me. Now my job doesn't allow me to take care of him. It's my fault as a grandson. Thanks to you, thank you."
Zhong Yuxiu was not good at such polite and repetitive thank-yous. She said, "We're a family, so there's no need for such talk. You should work hard at the institute and strive to produce results as soon as possible. Grandpa has been looking forward to your achievements and accomplishments."
He is the only one among his grandchildren who is considered to be working in the system.
Yan Ruhai smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, I will do my best. You and brother should also take care of your health. I'm leaving now and will come back to see you next time."
"Go ahead. Do you want a car to take you there? Your brother is at home and can take you there."
"No need to send me off, sister-in-law. Just go back with me. You have a lot of things to do in the research institute and you are busier than me." Yan Ruhai has the mind of a child. He is not ignorant or heartless. It's just that you can't tell from his daily behavior.
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan sent Yan Ruhai away, leaving them alone in the compound. It felt lonely here, so Zhong Yuxiu put the family's savings slips into her space, taking the valuables with her to Red Star Village, even the data and other documents. She put the important things in her space and packed the unimportant items into a cardboard box and moved them to the back seat. She left only her daily necessities in the compound, so she could stay there occasionally when she came back.
