Chapter 138: Xie Shuyang Wants to Move

She put the books she had organized in order away, then pulled out blank paper and a fountain pen, and quickly began translating.

It was a knowledge-based subject, so it was easy to translate because much of the content was similar or repetitive; although she did not have a photographic memory, she had a habit of summarizing and categorizing, and after translating each book, the general framework was already stored in her mind.

Among this pile of books, she also discovered her Mind Map, as well as a letter from the director of the National Compilation Bureau.

The general meaning of the letter was very simple: no one else had the ability or the right to intervene in this matter, and this Mind Map could only be completed by her alone.

An Yinan pondered for a moment, but did not think too much about it.

Anyway, no matter how this matter turned out, her original intention was just to contribute more to the country; even if it only allowed the country to develop a little bit faster, then she had fulfilled the meaning of her transmigration.

She was busy for four hours straight, until Yun Shu knocked on the door; An Yinan organized the manuscript, then exited the space and opened the door.

"Time to eat," Yun Shu said.

An Yinan nodded; in the dim room, without Beibei, she suddenly felt a bit strange.

She immediately shook her head; she was so busy, how could she have time to be sentimental?

Only after Beibei went to Beijing could he develop better, and she could also let go and work without any worries.

Busy and bustling, dim and dark.

Aside from translating, she would relax her brain by making clothes; excluding the time for eating and sleeping, An Yinan was like a donkey, circling a millstone, turning endlessly.

After a full month, the Compilation Bureau finally had no more physics materials to translate, and thus the Mind Map was terminated.

Looking at the sheets of white paper stuck together, this Mind Map summarized everything about foreign physics.

An Yinan handed the materials to Yun Shu, "It's up to you now."

Yun Shu nodded and looked at An Yinan respectfully, "Leader, don't worry."

That afternoon, An Yinan went up the mountain without taking anyone with her; she used pebbles to hit rabbits, she picked mushrooms and wild vegetables, she lay under the shade of a tree looking at the sky, and she thought of that man at the Northeast Camp and Beibei who had returned to Beijing.

When she left the Northeast Camp, she gave Mo Kun one thousand yuan; even though Mo Kun refused, An Yinan left it behind anyway.

She didn't have time to take care of Beibei in Beijing, but she didn't want Beibei to suffer when it came to food and clothing.

After spending half the day wandering around, she collected a large pile of mushrooms and wild vegetables in her space, as well as all kinds of firewood.

Ever since Yun Mo arrived, her firewood shed could no longer hold any more, and even the courtyard of Li Xiue and the courtyard of Xie Yuanyuan were filled up.

Li Xiue said curiously, "You don't need to go out of your way to chop wood for us."

Yun Mo waved his hand, "I just carry it down while I'm doing my morning exercises."

In the end, everyone stopped saying anything.

Yun Mo and Yun Shu and the others used to risk their lives, and they didn't even keep any money on them because they were afraid they wouldn't have the chance to spend it; if they had any money, they would hurry to spend it, whether on food or drink, in short, they wouldn't leave a single cent.

But in Quanshui Village, they really had nowhere to spend money; the food they ate was basically wild game from the mountain or vegetables from the garden, and the rice and flour they ate were all brought over by An Yinan, who wouldn't let them spend a single cent; as for clothes, even if their clothes were casual wear, the Military would issue them regularly.

Now, holding several months' worth of wages, they suddenly discovered that the feeling of saving money didn't seem so bad.

An Yinan came down the mountain carrying a deer, having thrown everything else into her space; this time when she went to the Northeast Camp, she trained with the soldiers whenever she had time, although no one took special care of her—after all, no one dared to take care of the little sister-in-law for fear of being sliced to death by the Snow Ghost.

But An Yinan's resilience was too strong; even if she couldn't keep up with the intensity of the soldiers, she still managed to train to eighty percent of their level.

These days had allowed her physical fitness to improve significantly, and she also had a technical improvement in the clever application of force.

This time, when she went hunting on the mountain, she had a clear realization; she was more free and easy, and it wasn't just a matter of throwing pebbles anymore.

Returning to the courtyard, An Yinan dragged the deer directly into Li Xiue's courtyard; Li Xiue and the others were shocked, "You went hunting again?"

Ever since Zhang Qian left, Yun Mo had taken over the hunting duties, and everyone had never been short of meat.

Seeing An Yinan dragging a deer this time, what else was there to not understand?

"Finished working in the morning, so I went to the Back Mountain to stroll around and relax my brain," An Yinan waved her hand indifferently.

"Yuanyuan, go ask Qian Zhao to come over and skin it, and have him eat here while he's at it," An Yinan said to Xie Yuanyuan.

She knew how to skin it too, but her technique wasn't proficient; mainly, she was lazy and lacked the patience of Zhang Qian and Qian Zhao, and her knife skills were truly too crude, wasting both the fur and the meat, so she had been discouraged by Zhang Qian and Qian Zhao.

"Okay," Xie Yuanyuan agreed and ran toward the front yard.

Along with Qian Zhao came Xie Shuyang; he didn't talk much, and most of the time he worked silently, occasionally letting his gaze drift toward Xie Yuanyuan.

An Yinan saw all of this, but she just wouldn't speak up.

The matter between the two of them needed to be overcome and developed by the two of them themselves; if he couldn't even admit his own heart, he might really not be suitable for Yuanyuan.

It was almost time for dinner, and Xie Shuyang stood up, "I'll go back to eat."

An Yinan smiled, "What? You did the work, and we can't afford to invite you to dinner in the back yard?"

Xie Shuyang shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

Xie Yuanyuan pouted, "But in other people's eyes, that is exactly what it means."

Qian Zhao looked at Xie Yuanyuan, then at Xie Shuyang, "Why don't you stay and eat together? Otherwise, I'll feel bad eating."

Xie Shuyang looked at Xie Yuanyuan and nodded silently.

During the meal, because of Xie Shuyang's addition, the atmosphere was a little heavy; everyone didn't talk much, and An Yinan's eyes looked at this person, then at that person, but she just wouldn't open her mouth to speak.

Li Xiue and Zhao Qiu Hua were even quieter; they also knew a thing or two about the relationship between Xie Yuanyuan and Xie Shuyang.

"Is Educated Youth Zhang coming back?" Xie Shuyang asked An Yinan.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "He probably won't be back."

The mission was completed, and he wasn't addicted to disguising himself, so why would he come back? To farm?

"Then, can I move into his room?" Xie Shuyang gathered his courage.

With only these few girls left in the back yard, he really couldn't stop worrying about Xie Yuanyuan.

An Yinan looked at him, then at Xie Yuanyuan, "I have no opinion, what about you all?"

Zhao Qiu Hua and Li Xiue shook their heads in unison; the room was empty, and sooner or later someone would have designs on it—rather than someone else, it might as well be Xie Shuyang.

Everyone looked at Xie Yuanyuan together.

Xie Yuanyuan raised her head, "Why are you looking at me? It's not my house."

"Congratulations, you can move in," An Yinan said with a smile.

Xie Shuyang said to everyone, "Thank you."
