Chapter 139 An'an is super happy
We need to find a way to establish a stable cooperative relationship with the Xiangyang Brigade and get them to help collect some mountain produce, wild game, and fresh vegetables, so that the source is plausible..."
After all, these things appeared out of thin air, and there was no purchase order for the supplies.
You can say the prey was hunted in the mountains, but what about fruits and vegetables? You need a proper record of their origin.
Xu Zhili felt heavy-hearted. This "magical ability" of "creating things out of thin air" was useful, but cleaning up the mess afterward would be a huge problem.
Xu Zhili's goal is to get the Xiangyang Brigade, the county public security logistics procurement department, and the machinery factory to cooperate and create a win-win situation through consultation.
By integrating the resources and strengths of all parties, we hope to achieve the goal of common development and shared benefits.
She had to quickly come up with a solution to the problem.
After all, we need to find a way to get the Xiangyang Brigade, the County Public Security Logistics Procurement Department, and the Machinery Factory to issue us a reasonable note to prove the source of those fruits and vegetables, so that we can properly resolve the problem.
After lunch, with nothing urgent to do in the afternoon, Xu Zhili said goodbye to Team Leader Ye and set off with her younger brother, Xu Zhian.
She skillfully mounted the 26-inch women's bicycle, and after Xu Zhian was settled on the back seat, she wrapped her small arms tightly around her waist.
"An'an, come here, hug your sister tightly, let's set off now."
Xu Zhili instructed, then pushed off with her foot, and the wheel began to turn smoothly.
The afternoon breeze, carrying warmth, brushed against my cheeks.
Xu Zhian pressed her little face against her sister's back, feeling that familiar warmth and reassurance.
He secretly sniffed; his sister smelled of sunshine and soapberry, it smelled so good.
Sitting on her sister's bicycle, An'an felt especially safe and happy.
The wind tickled my face, and the trees and houses along the roadside seemed to rush past me.
Before, in that dark house, An'an was so scared that she didn't dare to speak or move. That mean aunt and step-sister were always fierce, and Dad didn't care about us.
When her older sister was hit, An'an's heart was pounding, but An'an was too young and could only cry...
Fortunately, my older sister became incredibly powerful, like a fairy in a story, and flew away with An'an.
Now it's just my older sister and An'an. An'an can laugh and talk loudly. My older sister can also cook lots and lots of delicious food. An'an loves her older sister the most.
After riding the bike for a while, Xu Zhili stopped with one foot on the ground and turned to look at her younger brother: "An'an, are you tired? Let's stop by the machinery factory in the county on the way. I have some things to attend to, and then we'll go home, okay?" Her tone was gentle and suggestive.
Xu Zhian looked up at her with her big eyes full of trust: "Okay, sister, wherever you go, An'an will go too."
He paused, then asked curiously, "Does the machine factory have a lot of big, rumbling machines? Are they very loud?"
"Yes, there might be some machine noise."
Xu Zhili smiled and gently pinched her younger brother's cheek. "Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Xu Zhian puffed out her little chest and said loudly, "With my sister here, An'an is not afraid of anything!"
He remembered how he used to tremble with fear at the sound of things being smashed in that house, but things were different now; having his sister by his side gave him the greatest courage.
An'an isn't afraid of machine noise at all.
No matter how loud it is, it's not as scary as that mean auntie's yelling.
And her sister's hands were warm, which made An'an feel very comfortable.
An'an, be brave, be brave like your sister, and don't let your sister worry anymore.
My older sister said that An'an is a little man now and should learn to do what he can do.
"Great job, An'an is the little man of our family now."
Xu Zhili praised, then pedaled her bike again, shouting into the wind, "Sit tight, I'll take you for a ride, aren't you excited?"
"So happy! An'an is super, super happy! Hahahaha!"
Xu Zhian responded immediately, her clear laughter like silver bells scattering in the wind.
He hugged his sister tightly around the waist, his short legs swinging happily as he felt the freedom of the wind whistling past his ears.
It's like flying! My sister is so amazing; she can ride a big bike.
In the sound of the wind, fragments of deliberately forgotten, dark memories occasionally flash uncontrollably: the cold attic, the agonizing pain of hunger, vicious curses, the sister's pale face...
But whenever this happens, the warmth from my sister's back and the refreshing sound of the wind feel like a pair of gentle hands, dispelling the shadows.
Xu Zhian buried his face even deeper into his sister's clothes, greedily inhaling the comforting scent.
The bad guys were all chased away by my older sister!
Now it's just my sister and An'an. An'an wants to stay with my sister forever.
He remembered what his sister said when she took him away from that hellish home: "An'an, come with your sister."
Those were the most beautiful words he had ever heard.
He also remembers his sister teaching him how to wash his face, get dressed, and sweep the floor. Even when he was clumsy and got his clothes wet or didn't sweep properly, his sister wouldn't scold or hit him like the other girls did. She would just patiently teach him again and again.
My older sister said, "An'an, we can learn slowly, but we can't be lazy. We should do what we can."
He didn't quite understand what "within one's power" meant, but he knew it meant that he should do what he could do himself and not be a lazy bum.
He can now eat by himself, dress in simple clothes, and even help his sister get a small stool.
His sister also introduced him to many kind people.
There was an auntie who smiled and gave him candy, and older brothers and sisters who teased him.
He likes Xie Yunce the most. Brother Yunce will lift him up high and tell him stories about fighting.
It's a pity that Brother Yun Ce went to join the army; my sister said he went to become a hero who protects the country.
hero!
Brother Yun Ce is a hero, and Sister is also An An's great hero!
As the bicycle wound its way through the bustling streets, Xu Zhian looked around curiously, finding everything new and exciting.
With my older sister around, everything feels safe and interesting.
Soon, the iconic gate of the county machinery factory came into view.
Xu Zhili had just parked the car steadily at the entrance of the machinery factory, supporting herself on one foot, and was about to turn around and lift Xu Zhian out of the back seat.
At this moment, a man dressed in a blue Zhongshan suit, who looked like an official, walked out of the gate, carrying a notebook in his hand.
The man looked up and saw them, his face instantly showing a mixture of surprise and delight.
"Oh! Isn't this Comrade Xu? What a coincidence! I was just thinking about this when I ran into you at the door."
The speaker had a loud and warm voice, and it turned out to be Director Zhang, the production director of the machinery factory, whom he had met once before due to work.
Xu Zhili quickly greeted him with a smile: "Director Zhang, hello! I didn't expect to meet you here."
