Chapter 456: Educated Youth An, you're back

~8 min read 1,467 words

An Yinan originally thought she would just go back by herself, but she wanted to inform her friends so they wouldn't be unable to find her.

Unexpectedly, it turned into the current scene.

She touched her empty bag; how did it seem a bit unjustifiable?

However, her belongings were all in her space, so it wasn't very noticeable from the outside.

There were also many things she had already mailed back.

"The tickets are bought." After Hua Wensheng came over, he handed all the tickets to An Yinan.

They were all sleeper berths; not only were the tickets for the return trip bought, but the tickets for the trip back were also purchased.

As for the people who were to be brought back together, they could just buy tickets for them later; right now, without identification, they couldn't buy tickets yet.

Moreover, the number of people going back this time was not small!

Besides the people from Quanshui Village, there were also the three brothers of Hua Wensheng; except for Foreign Minister Wang Yun, the three of them all went to chip in.

And Yun Qi also took leave to accompany Li Xiue back for a visit.

Chen Xun naturally accompanied Nan Nan.

And there were also Big Aunt and the second aunt who were going to follow along.

What was originally a trip for a few people had actually grown to almost fill half a train carriage.

"I'm a little nervous!" Big Aunt held Nan Nan's hand.

And Chen Xun, who had originally wanted to have a world for two with his wife, looked at all the faces one by one—fine, another group outing, then?

An Yinan looked at Big Aunt and smiled, "The villagers are all very good; they took great care of me!"

If it weren't for the care of the Captain at the beginning, her life wouldn't have been so comfortable, although with her temperament, her life wouldn't have been bad either.

"I know! It's because I know that I'm nervous!" Liu Xicai said with a smile.

"You were here before?" The Principal was somewhat silent; it was hard to imagine that Lao Hua, such a proud person, had holed up in this place for so many years.

"What's wrong with this place? This batch of the most outstanding people in your school all flew out from here." Hua Wensheng was displeased.

In this place, he met An Yinan.

In this place, he was able to face his own heart.

It turned out he wasn't the one who was wrong; it was that rebellious disciple who was wrong.

Those problems that troubled him were all solved here.

Those things he couldn't think through in Beijing, after escaping that place, all became clear.

"You, why are you so unappreciative!" The Principal wasn't angry either, just smilingly pointed at him.

The four of them had lived their whole lives without wives or children.

He was just feeling sorry for him!

This old thing, the older he got, the more unappreciative he became!

Professor Feng was very quiet, looking at everything outside, "Is this the place where Student An lived?"

It was hard to imagine that in a place like this, she grew into the person she was now.

Hua Wensheng nodded, "It's just this small place."

The train arrived at the station, and they lined up one by one to walk out of the Railway Station.

Opposite the road, a hunched figure kept his eyes fixed on the exit of the Railway Station.

"Uncle Niu." An Yinan ran over, looked at Uncle Niu, and shouted loudly.

The person who told her that if she was wronged, she should come back, the person who would always welcome her—to this day, he was still waiting here.

Chen Xun walked over and pulled Nan Nan into his arms.

Uncle Niu looked at her, "Educated Youth An, you're back."

An Yinan's tears, in the end, could not be held back, streaming down her cheeks.

"Uncle Niu." He had grown old, his hair had turned white, and the once upright waist was now hunched.

"You're home, what are you crying for?" Uncle Niu didn't move either, just stood with his hands behind his back, looking at An Yinan with an expression of disapproval.

An Yinan wiped away her tears, "Not crying."

A person who was never one to joke, he still looked like he didn't have much expression at the moment.

"Educated Youth An, over here." A man waved his hand.

"That's Uncle Niu's son." An Yinan introduced him to everyone.

"Niu Dage." An Yinan accompanied Uncle Niu as they walked over.

"The Captain told me to come pick you up; my dad said he promised you that as long as you came back, he would definitely come to pick you up." Niu Dage had no temper at all toward his stubborn old father.

"The village has a Tractor now, and they won't let me drive the ox cart." Uncle Niu took out his Tobacco Pouch, didn't even pack it with tobacco, and casually took two puffs.

Although his tone was very flat, the resentment could still be heard.

A bit like a child complaining!

"You're getting on in years, the village doesn't dare let you go down the mountain anymore." Niu Dage explained.

She looked at everyone, feeling both amused and annoyed, "Let's get on the tractor; we'll head back to the village first."

The Daduibu had long since installed a telephone; when the Captain wrote to Nan Nan in the past, he specifically told her to remember that if anything happened, she should call the village.

But An Yinan had always forgotten about the letters, and that group of people only knew that An Yinan had been admitted to Beijing University but didn't know which department she was in, so all the letters were piled up at the Security Office.

When Xie Yuanyuan went to pick up the contract, she saw that box of letters and then brought them back for Nan Nan.

An Yinan looked through them one by one and felt a bit helpless; she had been so busy that she had completely forgotten about the letters.

"Educated Youth An, Educated Youth Xie, Educated Youth Zhao, Educated Youth Li, you're back." Hearing the sound of the tractor, the villagers all walked out one by one.

An Yinan greeted everyone with a smile, "Aunt Wang, your life is better now, you should watch your weight."

"Hey, I couldn't help myself." Aunt Wang rubbed her belly and said with a chuckle.

Everyone burst into laughter, and An Yinan couldn't help but smile too.

Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.

"Nan Nan!" Aunt Li heard the commotion and hurried outside; seeing the girl surrounded, she called out softly.

Back then, Nan Nan wore coarse cloth clothes, but they couldn't hide the noble air about her.

Now she was wearing fine clothes, yet she still chatted and laughed freely with the villagers.

She hadn't changed at all!

"Aunt Li." An Yinan walked over and hugged Aunt Li.

Aunt Li patted her, "You girl, you've been gone for so many years without a single word."

As Aunt Li spoke, she shed tears.

She hadn't replied to letters, and they didn't know her phone number.

An Yinan smiled, "I didn't receive the letters; by the time I saw them, it was already this year."

Moreover, she had gone to the battlefield, where she couldn't receive letters at all.

"You were in the newspaper, I saw it, and I knew you had gone to do important things," Aunt Li said proudly.

Such an outstanding girl had walked out from their Quanshui Village.

Now, who in their Quanshui Village didn't hold their head high?

"Hurry to the Daduibu; that old man is sulking," Aunt Li said with a chuckle.

Regarding this awkward temperament, she looked back at Hua Wensheng.

Hua Wensheng noticed her gaze, "Is something the matter?"

An Yinan shook her head; nothing was the matter, not at all.

This foul temper—she couldn't afford to provoke it.

"Eh? I don't recognize these people!" Aunt Li looked at Big Aunt and the second aunt; their attire clearly showed they were from a wealthy family, while they villagers always had to work and didn't dare wear such nice clothes for fear of ruining them.

"Sister-in-law Li, my name is Liu Xicai, and I am Nan Nan's Big Aunt," Liu Xicai introduced herself.

"My name is Fang Hong, and I am Nan Nan's second aunt," Fang Hong said with a smile.

"Hi! Nan Nan's aunts? Then we are one family," Aunt Li said with a chuckle.

Since Nan Nan had brought them along, they must be very close to her.

The group walked toward the Daduibu, talking and laughing along the way.
