Chapter 108: Paying a New Year's Call at Aunt Liu's House

~8 min read 1,482 words

Instead, she moved out all the Educated Youth from the Educated Youth Courtyard, and while finishing saying that, she also put all the Educated Youth from the Educated Youth Courtyard on the roasting rack.

Whenever people talked about it, they would say that the Educated Youth who moved out were the real villagers, while the Educated Youth in the Educated Youth Courtyard were high and mighty, looking down on everyone.

The Captain and the Accountant looked at each other; what could they say?

It wasn't given to them, was it?

They couldn't make the decision either.

"I don't object to hunting, but prioritize your own safety; you must never act recklessly." The Captain finally couldn't help himself and patted An Yinan on the forehead with his hand. An Yinan's forehead turned red instantly, which showed that the Captain had used some force.

"Oh!" An Yinan responded helplessly and then quickly ran off. As for the subsequent matters, the Captain was there, so it had nothing to do with them.

It was rare for Quanshui Village to all be eating meat; the scent of meat wafted from every household.

Speaking of which, the two of them went to Li Xiue's courtyard. One was good at disguising, and the other was expressionless; everyone simply didn't notice what had happened.

"Nan Nan, Xiue and I want to ask you to help bring some study materials. We've been in the countryside for over three years now, and that knowledge has long since returned to where it came from." Zhao Qiu Hua said with some helplessness.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Let's not bother bringing them. I have all the middle school and high school materials. How about you start copying from the first year of middle school? There's plenty of white paper."

Copying books can both deepen memory and recall past knowledge; it kills many birds with one stone.

Moreover, there are still more than three years until the College Entrance Examination is opened up, so there is plenty of time, and textbooks copied by oneself are easier to master.

"I..." Xie Yuanyuan was just about to speak.

An Yinan immediately interrupted her, "Especially you, you must copy it. I will check it every day."

This little girl just needs to be watched. She felt at ease with Li Xiue and Zhao Qiu Hua's Endurance and initiative, but only this little girl was used to lying down wherever she fell.

If she didn't keep an eye on her, let alone falling behind, she probably wouldn't even know where she had fallen.

"Oh!" Xie Yuanyuan pouted. She knew in her heart that Nan Nan was definitely doing it for her own good. Isn't it just copying books every day? She can do it!

After An Yinan went back, she first organized the first-year middle school books and handed them to Li Xiue along with a stack of white paper. Not to mention whether her writing supplies were abundant or not, at the very least, no one would be able to use them up.

Thinking that there were still thirty bundles of white paper in her Xiao Yuan, *sih-ha sih-ha*, the supplies were plentiful.

Actually, there was a photocopier in the space, but in this era, it was better to stay steady and develop, don't be reckless.

For the key points to be studied, An Yinan specifically drew a Mind Map for the first year of middle school, as well as some study methods. She tried her best to make them interesting so that Xie Yuanyuan could keep studying.

After handing all the review materials to Li Xiue, she cleared her schedule for after the New Year.

"Shall we go to Aunt Liu's house to pay a New Year's call?" An Yinan asked.

Chen Xun nodded and took a bag of milk powder and a can of malted milk extract from his large backpack, "Shall we bring these to Aunt Liu?"

An Yinan nodded, "Let's go."

An Yinan added two more cans of meat sauce and a jar of kimchi. Due to the terrifying combat power of the Xiao Yuan, her kimchi was disappearing too quickly, forcing her to add new dishes in time to slow down the consumption so she could last until the new vegetables came in next spring.

Let's just say, it's a good thing the space has stock; there was still quite a lot of fresh vegetables stored in the cold storage of modern large supermarkets.

The two bypassed the village road and went directly around the Back Mountain to Aunt Liu's house.

Whether it was a normal day or the New Year, Aunt Liu never opened the door unless someone knocked. Hearing the knocking, she walked out of the room, guessing right away that it was that girl who had come.

Ever since she spoke up for her that time, the little girl would come over every few days. Either she brought meat, brought clothes, or brought firewood; in short, she never came empty-handed.

"It's the New Year, what are you doing at this old woman's place?" Before Aunt Liu even opened the door, her voice had already fallen.

When she opened the door, she saw the two people outside. The man was as straight as a poplar, his knife-carved face carrying hard lines; only when looking at the person beside him would his expression gradually soften.

And the girl was full of smiles, quirky and clever, with a little bit of baby fat, yet she had grown increasingly beautiful. Not to say she was a stunning beauty, but she would make people's eyes light up; there was a strange combination of childishness and glamour—not incongruous, but a beauty that conflicted with itself.

"How did you two get together?" Aunt Liu opened the door and let the two into the room.

Chen Xun put the things on the table and asked with concern, "Is your leg hurting again this year? How is your health?"

Aunt Liu poured hot water for the two and served a plate of melon seeds, "It didn't hurt this year. The little girl sent me thick cotton clothes and always chopped firewood for me. I didn't even have time to go to the mountain, so why would it hurt?"

Chen Xun looked at An Yinan with some surprise; he actually didn't know that the girl had done so much in places he couldn't see.

"Don't look at me. It's not because of you. Aunt Liu has helped me, and I am willing to help Aunt Liu." An Yinan wrinkled her nose, a rare display of a young girl's manner.

Aunt Liu watched the two interact, shrewd enough not to point it out, but she was as clear as a mirror in her heart.

"How many days are you staying?" Aunt Liu asked Chen Xun.

"Leaving on the morning of the fifth day," Chen Xun replied.

The room fell into a silence. Soldiers are just like this; they come in a hurry and go in a hurry.

They don't have their own time. Just as Chen Xun said, my life might not even belong to you. This is not an excuse, but a fact, because his life not only doesn't belong to others, it doesn't even belong to himself.

"A good man should protect his home and country. Good, good." Aunt Liu looked at Chen Xun, very gratified, as if she saw her own son.

Aunt Liu asked Chen Xun about his daily training in detail and also asked with concern about many aspects of life in the Military.

It was two hours later when the two left Aunt Liu's house.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Chen Xun asked.

"Go to the mountain to take a look. I set a few traps, it's time to go and see." An Yinan replied. She had never been disappointed by the traps she set. Let alone wild rabbits and pheasants, every time she went for a stroll, she would always encounter big game—deer, roe deer, and Mongolian gazelles.

When Chen Xun heard this, combined with Zhang Qian's constant envy and jealousy, he really wanted to go and see.

"I'll go with you tomorrow," Chen Xun said.

An Yinan suddenly patted her forehead, "When you came back, did you receive the package I sent?"

"Package? When I left, I only received your letter with a total of four sentences." Chen Xun felt even more stifled when he mentioned this.

They all took leave in turns. Even when it was his turn, he didn't want to run back and forth, and every time he gave the opportunity to others. This year, seeing that four-sentence letter, he couldn't hold back no matter what, immediately applied for rest, and added five days of annual leave. It wasn't that his annual leave was used up, but fifteen days was already the maximum limit for their rest.
