Chapter 122: The Point of Being Needed

~8 min read 1,410 words

An Yinan asked again, "Is the minced meat I made hard or not?"

Yun Shu then nodded.

"Look, it's all meat, so why do two forms appear? Because they have to find a position that suits them. When made into braised pork, the required texture is soft and glutinous; when made into minced meat, it is not easy to store if it is too soft and glutinous, so it needs to be stir-fried until it is hard."

"People are the same. The past you have experienced is your wealth, and only by possessing enough wealth can you live the life you want to live."

"Everyone's past is different, and everyone's point of being needed is also different."

An Yinan tilted her head, looked at the thoughtful Yun Shu, and did not continue speaking.

It could be seen that Yun Shu had always been executing missions; during missions, her targets either died, or she interrogated them to get what she wanted to know.

But this mission was a protection mission.

She had lived a life of slackness she had never felt before, and sometimes even doubted, what did she do wrong? Why would the Chief send them here? Was it to corrode their will?

The people around her all grew up like this, all holding fast like this; they were not afraid of death, not afraid of bleeding, not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of injury, but they were afraid of not being able to go to the battlefield.

When she left, she went to ask the old Chief why.

The old Chief told her that he hoped when she returned, she could tell him why.

She came with questions, lived with questions, and even developed more and more questions.

In An Yinan's eyes, they were just young people in their twenties, who had lived in the Military since childhood, influenced by the Military, feeling a tense life; they had no life, no freedom, only constant training and missions, and they believed this was their mission.

Thinking of that letter, "To be born as a human is to truly live in the real sense."

How could that Chief not have good intentions?

But seeing this letter, An Yinan also knew why Yun Shu and Yun Mo were surnamed Yun.

Yun Shu finally shook her head, "I don't quite understand."

An Yinan smiled, "It's okay, there is still a long time."

The time they spent together would not be too short; her mission had not yet been completed.

The two did not speak. After An Yinan was full, Yun Shu soaked all the vegetable soup into the rice, and then started eating with a slurping sound. They had to insist on training every day, their appetite was always very large, and after following An Yinan, their standard of living rose sharply, and there were faintly lumps of muscle on their bodies, forcing them to increase their training volume every day.

Especially Yun Mo, because he lost an arm-wrestling match to An Yinan, he was a bit obsessed, and the training volume made An Yinan marvel.

"Waited a long time, right? Go to the lounge?" Liu Mei saw that there was no one outside, and only then asked An Yinan.

An Yinan said to Yun Shu, "Wait for me here, I'm not going out."

Yun Shu first asked for the location of the lounge, went in to scout around, and only then came out to let the two go in.

Liu Mei was a bit confused, pointing at Yun Shu's position, "What's going on?"

An Yinan wiped away non-existent sweat, gave a dry laugh, "That, special mission, please understand, please understand."

Liu Mei was just confused and didn't think much, "What did you bring this time?"

An Yinan was like a treasure chest, bringing different things every time.

Actually, these things were clothes An Yinan made when her brain was tired and she was bored, which could be considered works to relax her brain.

"These are shirts, five for women and five for men. These are long skirts, and there are ten dresses." An Yinan took out all the clothes. The women's shirts were designed with a cinched waist to make the waist curve more prominent, while the men's design had more details, making the overall look more upright.

The floral patterns of the dresses were very beautiful, with faint small flowers, the whole look was very gentle, and there were hidden stitch designs on the chest and waist, which showed the figure better, but not too much.

After all, the tolerance of this era was not that strong yet.

"This is too beautiful." Not to mention whether others liked it or not, Liu Mei took one look and was moved by these clothes.

If it were her, even if she had to run to the County, she would buy them.

An Yinan reported the prices one by one, "Let's take the money together when I come next time, there isn't enough time today."

Yun Shu was still outside, and she didn't want to wait too long.

"That works too." Liu Mei prepared to keep the bill when she went back, and put the money away in advance next time, so as to save the girl from having to run home every time she came.

"Ershu steamed buns and meat baskets for you, and I specially made ten portions of braised pork for you separately. Same as usual, I'll use a basin to pack it for you to take back, and you bring the basin back to me next time." Liu Mei instructed carefully.

An Yinan nodded helplessly; the old way was still the old way, but the old way was no longer the old way.

Her space couldn't be used!

It seemed she needed to talk to Chief Yun Fei; it was fine for your people to be with me, but they had to listen to me.

Coming over as if to monitor her, what kind of behavior was that.

That's right, the person who issued the protection mission was Yun Fei, her uncle in name.

That letter they brought over didn't mean to hide anything at all, and a confidential translator bringing two bodyguards was standard equipment.

But her own identity and space were indeed not very convenient, and she needed to talk to Chief Yun Fei.

An Yinan carried the buns and meat baskets in her basket, and was still holding a basin of braised pork in her hand.

Yun Shu looked at An Yinan, then looked at herself, and silently took the braised pork and the basket.

"Sigh, let's go to the Post Office, I'll make a call to your Chief and explain the specific situation." An Yinan didn't hide it from Yun Shu either, after all, this matter still required Yun Shu's cooperation.

The two went to the Post Office. While An Yinan was waiting in line to make a call, she asked the young lady to bring over the new stamps she had saved, and then gave the young lady a pair of socks...

It was mainly because there was nothing else in her basket, only the socks she had just sent to everyone at Liu Meijie's place, and she had put in two extra pairs at the time, thinking of having them for an emergency.

"Thank you." The young lady thanked her quickly. Whether it was the hairpin An Yinan gave or the silk scarf she gave later, they were very expensive to buy outside. The key was that the quality of what she gave was very good; one could tell by touching it, it was different from those on the market.

An Yinan waved her hand, "It's what I should do, it's what I should do."

The other party helped her save stamps every time, and unlike the situation with Liu Meijie, where money could be made and the relationship was more stable, the relationship with this young lady was purely mutual help.

She helped save stamps, and when An Yinan took the stamps, she would include a small gift.

There were not many people making calls now; the charges were expensive, and the signal was not very good, so the sound distortion was quite serious.

An Yinan saw that there was no one there, and instantly dialed the number in her memory. Her memory had always been very good; although it wasn't photographic, she remembered many things in her heart after seeing them twice.
