Chapter 1454

"My brother from my mother's side fell in love with a man, and when we got engaged, he took the sugar to his mother-in-law's house. I thought that my family doesn't eat sweets, so I gave it to him."

"Hey!" Yan's mother said seriously. He sighed, but in the end he didn't have the heart to say reproachful words.

Niu Aihua has no other shortcomings except that she loves to help her mother's family.

If they quarreled over such a trivial matter, Yan Tian would be embarrassed.

"Then go and pour some hot water for the two comrades."

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

Neither Lin An nor Xu Maoyan stopped Niu Aihua. They were thinking about how to tell Yan's mother that Yan Tian had already Things that were sacrificed.

Before they could think about it, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and two little guys who looked exactly the same rushed in like firecrackers, each carrying a large carp weighing about three kilograms in their hands.

"Nai, Uncle Zhuzhu netted a lot of fish today and gave me and my brother one fish each. How about we eat fish at night?"

Before Yan's mother could say anything, Niu Aihua said: "What's so delicious about fish? It's fishy? The smell is too strong."

"The fish my dad cooked for us was delicious, not fishy at all!"

"Then do you know how much oil your dad used to cook the fish for you? Our oil tank is almost at the bottom, but we don’t have enough oil for you to cook fish!”

“Mom, you’re lying! I saw you filled a pot of oil and brought it to grandpa’s house two days ago! There is so much oil to eat, and our family eats boiled vegetables every meal?”

“My dad’s monthly allowance is enough for us to eat and clothe ourselves, if you hadn’t always wanted to take the things from home to my grandpa’s house. , we won’t be without meat all year round!”

The two children rushed to accuse Niu Aihua of what she had done. Niu Aihua wanted to refute, but what the children said was true, and she had no way to refute it.

Seeing this, Yan's mother sighed and shook her head, "Dajiang Dahe, you two go out to play. There are guests at home today. I will cook meat for you in the afternoon."

Only then did Yan Dajiang and Yan Dahe notice that there were many people in their yard. two strangers.

Moreover, the stranger's demeanor was similar to that of their father, who they only saw once a year.

Yan Dajiang looked at Lin An with starry eyes, "Uncle, are you my dad's comrades in arms? When will he come back?"

"In the letter home a few months ago, my dad said that after he completes his mission, he will be able to take a break. It’s a month off, and when he comes back he will take us brothers to play around. Calculating the time, my dad’s mission should be over. When will he come back?”

Looking at the two identical faces? , showing the same look of expectation, Lin An couldn't help but blush.

He could feel an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart. He tried hard to adjust his mentality, but when he opened his mouth, his voice trembled.

"Your father can't come back."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back this time, we just have to wait. It's best to wait until summer, then my dad can take us down the river to fish. Uncle Zhuzhu always Bragging about how good he is at fishing, I think he can’t compare to my dad!”

“My dad can also make slingshots. I remember when he came back last year, he took us to the mountains to shoot birds with a slingshot. That's right. I don't know if dad can take us to catch pheasants next time. If not, we can catch hares. Although the meat is a bit less, it's delicious..."

The two children didn't hear what Lin An meant and were still there. Thinking about the scene after meeting my father.

But Yan's mother's eyes were already red.

Only then did she notice that the thing that Lin An had been holding tightly in front of her since he appeared was covered with a piece of black cloth, but judging from its size and shape, it looked so much like...

a jar containing ashes. !

Yan's mother was startled, her legs softened, and she fell directly onto the stool.

Her hands gripped her pants tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

"My child, tell Auntie, is the person you are holding in your arms my Tian'er?"

It was not a long sentence, but Yan's mother said it intermittently.

Yan Dajiang didn't understand, "My dad is not much shorter than this uncle, how could he be held in his arms?"

But Niu Aihua understood.

She strode up to Lin An, staring closely at the urn in his arms.

"Yan Tian... sacrificed?"

Even the young Yan Dajiang and Yan Dahe could understand what the word sacrifice meant.

The whole family's eyes were focused on Lin An.

Lin An said nothing and knelt directly in front of Yan's mother.

Xu Maoyan followed closely behind.

"Sorry, Comrade Yan Tian died because of my negligence."

"Mom!"

Yan's mother fainted.

The son he had been looking forward to for so long only came back with a handful of ashes. How could the old man accept this?

Lin An and Xu Maoyan were kneeling in the yard, watching Niu Aihua busy taking care of Yan's mother. Lin An became increasingly annoyed.

If he had not taken the medicine at that time, he would have been able to easily escape when the fish that slipped through the net attacked him, and Yan Tian would not have died if he had not come to save him.

In the final analysis, it was him who harmed Yan Tian.

Yan's mother didn't faint for long, she woke up after about half an hour.

But after waking up, Yan's mother seemed to be several years older, with no energy at all.

Yan's mother's room just faced the yard. When she saw Lin An and Xu Maoyan still kneeling, she quickly told Niu Aihua, "Aihua, get these two comrades up quickly."

"Mother..."

"You're still standing still. What? Invite people into the room! I have something else I want to ask them."

Niu Aihua had no choice but to call Xu Maoyan and Lin An into the room.

Yan's mother stared at the urn in Lin An's arms for a while, then her eyes turned red and she asked in a trembling voice: "Comrade, can you tell me how Tian'er died?"

"He..."

Lin An As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xu Maoyan.

"Our mission this time is to catch a human trafficking gang. In the last operation, we rescued more than 200 lesbians and young children. However, at a critical moment, the leader of this criminal gang was not there. Bei sneaked away. Comrade Yan Tian was ordered to arrest the criminals. During the arrest, there was a struggle and he died heroically."

Lin An looked at Xu Maoyan subconsciously.

That's not the case at all, it's not like that!

Yan Tian died to save him and to block the bullet for him!

Xu Maoyan didn't look at Lin An, but he knew what he was thinking.

He just held Lin An's arm and didn't let him speak.

Yan's mother's tears fell drop by drop. Can't stop.
