Chapter 6: Am I Your Mother?

Zhang Qian thought it was a fruit candy, but the taste upon entering his mouth, this is... chocolate?

"This is too precious." Since the item was already in his mouth, he couldn't very well return it to her, yet he also knew the young girl opposite him was not the type to take advantage of others.

Chocolate was a scarce commodity; currently, it could only be bought at the Overseas Chinese Store, and he had only eaten it once before, and the taste hadn't been as good as this piece.

Xie Yuanyuan finished eating it carefully before asking Zhang Qian, "I've never eaten it before, do you know what it is?"

Zhang Qian nodded, "This is chocolate, it can only be bought at the Overseas Chinese Store."

Her already round little face turned even redder at this moment, and she immediately rummaged through her small pocket, "I still have White Rabbit candies here, do you want to eat more?"

An Yinan smiled, "Don't look for them, I'll ask you for some if I want to eat them."

"Mm-hmm." The little girl nodded hurriedly.

At this moment, a discordant voice rang out.

"You still have White Rabbit candies? Give me one." Sun Xiaoqin had endured and endured, but she still couldn't help herself.

Xie Yuanyuan was not stupid; the reason she gave out candy at the beginning was just because she was shy after asking a silly question.

However, this person was pushing her luck to an extreme degree.

"Am I your mother?" The young girl's voice was crisp, and her eyes were fixed directly on Sun Xiaoqin.

……

As for what the words behind that were, Sun Xiaoqin had already heard them once; she had thought the girl was easy to fool, so why wasn't she playing along?

"Hmph, what a capitalist young lady's attitude." Sun Xiaoqin snorted coldly, one hand on her hip.

An Yinan stood up immediately, and with a "slap," a loud palm strike landed directly on Sun Xiaoqin's face.

"I am taking my young brother to build up the countryside, and just because I didn't give you food, you are here spewing filth and slandering others at will—who gave you the nerve?"

"You, I'll fight you!" Sun Xiaoqin was stunned by the slap, and her head was still spinning.

Zhang Qian had been sitting between Xie Yuanyuan and Sun Xiaoqin; he immediately stood up and blocked Sun Xiaoqin's reaching hand.

Xie Yuanyuan stood up as well, directly grabbing Sun Xiaoqin's hand.

"Why do you want to hit people? Hitting people is wrong; we are all Educated Youth sent to the countryside, we should help each other." When An Yinan had acted just now, the little girl hadn't reacted to what was happening, but now, how could she not understand?

If the label of "capitalist attitude" were to fall upon them, then none of them would end up well; not only would they be unlucky themselves, but they would also implicate their families.

A single vicious sentence, and she wanted to ruin someone else.

Just then, the train attendant walked over, "What's going on, what's going on? If you want to fight, get off the train to do it; what are you making a scene for in the middle of the night?"

The circle of onlookers who had been watching the excitement scattered one after another, and Xie Yuanyuan also sat back down obediently, patting her little face.

"Exactly, she was so fierce, and she had so much strength; you really shouldn't fight, I almost couldn't hold you back."

An Yinan pursed the corners of her lips, almost unable to hold back a laugh.

The moment Sun Xiaoqin reached out just now, An Xiangbei had blocked the front of his sister, only to be preceded by Zhang Qian blocking the aisle, and then Xie Yuanyuan stepped in; this matter came to an end.

An Yinan looked at her brother beside her, "Beibei, you are not allowed to do this in the future; your sister has great strength, she couldn't beat me."

Since birth, An Yinan had been a Strongman, and even Father An from the Military didn't have as much strength as she did.

But under the deliberate instructions of Father An and Mother An, no one had discovered it.

Now that she was heading to the countryside, she wouldn't need to hold back this strength anymore.

An Xiangbei looked at his sister stubbornly, "I can protect my sister."

An Yinan's eyes grew hot, and in the end, she only ruffled her brother's hair, "Alright, Beibei will protect his sister."

Because of the scene just now, Sun Xiaoqin was moved to a different seat, replaced by a young man.

The young man was honest and steady, scratching his hair, "I'm going to Sanyang Commune, Quanshui Village, how about you all?"

Xie Yuanyuan nodded immediately, "Me too, ah! My name is Xie Yuanyuan."

"Nan Nan, how about you? How about you?" As soon as Xie Yuanyuan finished speaking, she immediately asked An Yinan; she liked An Yinan so much, it would be great if they were in the same village.

An Yinan thought to herself, what a coincidence.

"Me too."

……

An Xiangbei was naturally with An Yinan, and the four of them looked at Zhang Qian again.

Zhang Qian didn't speak, but he nodded, though his gaze glanced obscurely at An Yinan.

Alright! Truth is stranger than fiction; now one can only hope that Sun Xiaoqin is not in the same place as them, otherwise, things will be lively in the future.

This time, the five of them were very peaceful; there were no troublemakers, and no one trying to take advantage of others.

"You all should sleep for a while; Zhang Qian and I will watch the luggage, we definitely won't let you lose anything." The young man patted his chest and guaranteed.

Three days had already passed, and everyone was very exhausted; at the beginning, they were still chatting and laughing, but by the end, the whole carriage was very quiet. An Yinan put the quilt on her lap and let An Xiangbei lie on it.

"Sleep, Sister will watch the things; you need to be energetic to take over for Sister, right?" These past few days, Xiangbei had been keeping his eyes wide open, just afraid the luggage would be lost.

In fact, the luggage outside was just to cover up the truth; the valuable items had all been put into her space.

"Then call me in a while, Sister." An Xiangbei nodded; he was so, so sleepy.

"Alright, sleep." An Yinan agreed.

Once Xie Yuanyuan saw An Yinan watching the luggage, she also relaxed, "I'll take a nap."

An Yinan nodded and handed a coat to cover An Xiangbei.

The next day, the sun was high, and An Xiangbei rubbed his eyes.

"Sister, you didn't call me." He looked at An Yinan with accusing eyes.

An Yinan smiled, "I fell asleep in the latter half of the night too, I just woke up not long ago."

In the latter half of the night, Xie Yuanyuan had woken up and told An Yinan to take a nap, so An Yinan had taken the opportunity to sleep.

As for Xie Yuanyuan and Zhang Qian, after more than three days of contact, she still trusted them; most importantly, her big bag contained only bedding and a few pieces of clothing, nothing valuable, so even if it were lost, it would just be a bit of a hassle for her.

After sitting on the train for two more days, they finally arrived at the station.

If it is convenient, the train can go directly to the County, so there is no need to transfer to a bus.

Outside the Railway Station, a Tractor was waiting, and two people were standing next to it.

"Is this the way to Sanyang Commune?" someone walked over quickly and asked.

The person in the lead nodded, "Put your luggage on first, wait a bit longer, and we will leave once everyone is here."

The five of them put their luggage away and sat on their own bags, with no one speaking.

Having sat on the train for five days, everyone was wilted and lacked any energy.

Before long, more than ten more people arrived; the person from the commune took roll call, and only after everyone had arrived did they say to the person in front, "Let's go."

Xie Yuanyuan glanced sideways at Sun Xiaoqin, who had just boarded, "Bad luck, how is she also going to Sanyang Commune?"

An Yinan thought about their respective seats; it was likely not as simple as just being in the same commune.

"If she doesn't provoke us, just pretend she doesn't exist." An Yinan patted Xie Yuanyuan, then put another layer of clothing on An Xiangbei.

It is already September now, and in the Northeast at this time, it is still somewhat cold in the mornings and evenings.

What's more, they were riding on a Tractor, and the wind kept blowing, making people shiver uncontrollably.
