Chapter 437: Are You Asking for Leave Again?

~7 min read 1,388 words

The list hasn't been announced yet, so he cannot say it, but he can certainly talk about his master's words.

Upon mentioning this matter, An Yinan looked at An Xiangbei.

"How does your master know about me?"

"Your master was introduced by Grandpa Chen, right?"

In truth, she was curious why they found Hua Laotou, and then found her.

If they wanted her to take on this mission, they could have just gone directly to Grandpa Chen; after all, there was the connection through Beibei.

But for them to be so circuitous, she couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Moreover, the Military Department should have known that she could speak Southern Monkey language, and the Compilation Bureau should have known too.

But how did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know?

There are plenty of people who can speak Southern Monkey language, so why did it have to be her?

An Yinan had many questions, but without meeting the person in question, she couldn't resolve them.

An Xiangbei shook his head honestly, "I don't know! I asked, but Master didn't say."

"It was introduced by Grandpa Chen," An Xiangbei answered Nan Nan's questions one by one.

An Yinan said nothing else, nor did she mention the matter of her mission with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Sister, will you join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future?" Beibei asked.

An Yinan smiled; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was she never going to get past this?

In her previous life, she had thought about it for a long time, and in the end, she followed her heart.

In this life, she was not hesitant at all.

"No," she said quite readily, without any hesitation.

"So you're going to develop in business in the future?" Yun Qi asked.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Not entirely!"

"Having business and having righteousness, that can be considered my path in the future."

Business is for money, righteousness is for good.

She didn't want to be a merchant who only obsessed over numbers.

"That's fine too. If you need anything, tell An Erge," Yun Qi thought; he needed to go further, otherwise, if he let his younger sister fall too far behind, where would a brother's face be?

"Okay!"

Yun Bi thought for a moment, "I don't think I can help you with much."

An Yinan smiled, "How we spread our business depends on you guarding the country's gates!"

Yun Bi pondered; Nan Nan was right!

The four of them chatted more about the future and also talked about An Yinan's studies.

Chatting like this, they forgot the time, and it wasn't until Nan Nan felt sleepy and checked the clock that she saw it was already past twelve.

"Sleep! We have to accompany Grandmother for breakfast tomorrow!" An Yinan stood up directly and waved to the three people behind her who were capable of pulling an all-nighter.

Yun Qi looked at the two of them, "I'm getting old, I can't stay up anymore either."

An Xiangbei and Yun Bi also stood up and left the living room together.

Before the sky was completely bright, Nan Nan got up, washed up, and went straight downstairs to the kitchen.

She simmered chicken porridge, but she added some medicinal herbs inside.

She had checked Grandmother's body yesterday; apart from normal aging and the degeneration of many organs, there were no illnesses.

"Nan Nan, why are you up?"

Liu Xicai saw the kitchen light on and thought she had forgotten to turn it off yesterday.

As a result, just as she walked in, she saw Nan Nan's busy figure.

An Yinan greeted her sweetly, "Big Aunt."

"Why are you up so early? Why not sleep a little longer?"

This child, she only arrived in Beijing yesterday, and she's up so early today; how can her body take it?

"I'm used to it. Why is Big Aunt not sleeping a little longer?"

"Hey, at my age, once it hits this time, how can I sleep?"

Besides, there are many children in the family; those who work go to work, those who study go to school, so she has to get up early to prepare meals. The housekeeper only comes in the morning, so she makes breakfast herself every day.

"What else needs to be done?" Liu Xicai looked at the large pot of chicken porridge and smelled the faint, very faint, scent of Chinese medicine inside.

"Nothing else. I mixed some side dishes. For those who don't like porridge, they can eat noodles; I boiled a pot of noodles."

As An Yinan spoke, she opened the pot lid, then poured the cooked noodles directly into a basin and sprinkled a little bit of chopped green onion, which made one's mouth water just looking at it.

"So fragrant!" Grandmother also came out of her room and saw the two people busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, Nan Nan made breakfast today, you can eat a bit more in a while!" Liu Xicai said quickly.

Grandmother immediately said, "Nan Nan's cooking? Then I must have a good taste!"

"Good morning, Grandmother."

"Good morning, Grandmother."

The three of them opened their doors at almost the same time.

It might have to do with the many people in the Yun Family who are soldiers; the breakfast time in the family is fixed.

As long as you eat, you have to come downstairs at this time.

Except for the girls in the family, there is no habit of saving food.

"Pack things up, Nan Nan's food is all ready," Liu Jiumu also helped carry things.

Don't say, Nan Nan really made quite a lot of things this morning.

Shredded radish in sauce, shredded cabbage in sauce, and a dish of pickled cucumbers.

A large pot of chicken, millet, and lean meat porridge; Grandma drank three whole bowls straight away, "Nan Nan's cooking skills, oh!"

Grandma praised her while drinking the porridge.

How could her own granddaughter be so capable?

It seemed there was nothing Nan Nan couldn't do!

The dining table was exceptionally quiet today; everyone didn't say much, but everyone was eating very quickly.

"I can't do it anymore, I can't eat any more." Yun Qi stopped first and rubbed his stomach.

Nan Nan should cook less often!

The feeling of being overstuffed really isn't very comfortable!

After everyone finished eating, she helped Big Aunt tidy everything up, and Big Aunt was very surprised, "Aren't you going to school today?"

An Yinan gave a wry smile, "I am, how could I not go?"

She hadn't told the family yet that she had to go out again.

She also didn't know if Big Uncle had heard any news about it.

"Then you go? I'll tidy these up." Liu Xicai hurriedly shooed her out of the kitchen.

An Yinan went upstairs to change her clothes and put on her all-purpose big schoolbag before saying a word to Grandma.

"I'll be back in the afternoon, please eat your lunch well!" An Yinan instructed her carefully, just afraid that Grandma would worry about her again.

This time when she went out, she didn't plan to tell Grandma about this matter.

The old woman was getting on in years; once a child left her side, she would often fret, afraid the child would be wronged or hurt.

"Alright, alright, I'll eat my lunch well, you don't need to worry about me, go busy yourself with your own affairs!" Grandma smiled and saw Nan Nan to the door.

Nan Nan carried her bag and went to take the bus.

Walking out of the Dayuan, it took over ten minutes to reach the bus stop, and then an hour or so on the bus to reach the village entrance.

"Asking for leave again?" Liu Jianguo looked at An Yinan.

Although he knew she had many things to do, he hadn't expected this many.

An Yinan could only say helplessly, "I don't want to either!"

She had fallen behind on a lot of her coursework.

Yun Duo had already applied to graduate a year late, but she couldn't!

She could only read more books in this limited time.

"What are you going to do again? How long will you be gone?" Liu Jianguo took out the leave request form, which already had his and the Principal's signatures on it.
