Chapter 165 Intimate
With long, slender legs and a light, almost hurried pace, Yan Bei's smile didn't fade when he returned to his lodgings at the foot of the mountain.

Just as Zhao Panpan was about to light a fire and set up a small stove, she looked at her grandson's beaming face and had a clue. "Xiao Qi, is Ning Yatou back?"

"Yes, Grandma, I'll cook for you since we're having dinner over there today."

"Hehehe, okay, I'll boil some water and go over when your old man comes back."

Yan Changrong and Liu Wenbo, these two old friends, are still very close. Every time they finish work, they have to chat for a while, talking about the future and reminiscing about the past, which is a kind of bittersweet joy.

So it's all thanks to Ning's arrangement. If they hadn't come here, who knows what kind of situation they would be in now.

Back in the small room separated from the bedroom, Yan Bei quickly took out a clean change of clothes, took a quick five-minute shower, and walked out without caring about his still dripping hair.

"Grandma, I'll go now."

"Go, go, hurry up and go."

She winked at him and urged him on happily, secretly hoping they could have more time alone together.

When Yan Bei passed through the small gate in the backyard to the front yard, he found that she had obediently stopped working in the kitchen and was sitting under the eaves reading a book. Yan Bei nodded in satisfaction.

Without disturbing the person engrossed in watching, she turned and quietly strolled to the kitchen.

When the words on the book became blurry and the aroma of food wafting into the yard filled the air, Su Ning finally broke free from the sea of ​​books and rubbed her sore and stiff neck.

I closed the few open medical books and put them back on the desk in the room.

As I came out of the main room, I ran into Yan Changrong and his wife. "Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan!"

"Hey, Ning'er's back! How did things go?"

"Everything is done."

"That's good, hahaha~"

Hearing the old man's hearty laughter coming from outside, Yan Bei, who was holding a spatula, couldn't help but smile broadly as well.

If my parents, older brother, and uncle's whole family are together, it wouldn't be so bad even if the Yan family isn't what it used to be.

The smile in his eyes faded slightly. He shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it. He believed that day would not be too far away.

As she ladled the food out of the pot and carried it to the dining table, she called out towards the door, "Ningning, Grandpa and Grandma can eat now!"

……

Northeast China, reclamation farms.

After finishing their work in the fields, the women would eat the coarse grain buns and the bland cabbage soup that had been distributed to them. They could barely manage to get half full.

Not to mention the big, naturally bigger men who can eat more.

Xiang Mingyu handed the large half of the steamed bun she had specially saved to her daughter, "I haven't had much of an appetite these past few days because of the heavy work. Xixi, see if you can find an opportunity to give this to your older and younger brothers."

"Mom, you eat, I'll save mine."

Although Ms. Xiang has never had a big appetite, that was in the past. Now that she is doing heavy physical labor, how can she not be hungry and have no appetite?

Besides, working without being well-fed would easily deplete his body and cause him to collapse, so Yanxi could not agree to it.

However, she knew in her heart that her mother was not saying this because she wasn't hungry, but because she was more worried about her father and older brother.

"Mom, listen..."

"Click~"

"Who is Xiang Mingyu Yanxi? Step forward!"

Before she could speak further, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and she was interrupted loudly by a fat woman with fierce features.

“XiXi…”

"Mom, don't worry."

Having been there for several days, Yanxi had already heard about what happened after the sudden roll call. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists at his sides, his upturned eyes reddened, and his gaze was filled with a chilling coldness.

"Stop dawdling! Haven't you eaten yet? Hurry up and come with me!"

Xiang Mingyu, trying to calm herself, had her hands trembling slightly, but she still wanted to protect her daughter, so she used her own body to shield her.

"mom!"

Blocking her outstretched hand, Xiang Mingyu looked at her with an extremely stern gaze for the first time, shaking her head in an unquestionable manner.

Taking advantage of her moment of stunned silence, he quickly walked out of the room.

"Bang~"

"Mom! Come back! I'm Yanxi, let me go instead! Come back here!"

No matter how angrily she pounded on the door and shouted, there was no sound from outside.

"Ha, your mother's off having fun, what are you yelling about!" "What the hell did you say? Believe me, I'll kill you!"

Turning his head to glare at the person who spoke, Yanxi spoke each word as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

Suddenly, he pounced forward with the speed of a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he gripped her neck tightly, looking like a female demon who had just returned from hell.

"I was talking nonsense... Yes, sorry, please forgive me..."

Xiang Mingyu, who walked out of the room from the other side, had her fingertips turning white from gripping her hands together too tightly. She mechanically followed behind her.

She went through all the worst scenarios in her mind, and even thought of her last words, but what she saw was her eldest son waiting at their destination. Tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Before Yan Dong could even smile, she noticed her mother bursting into tears as if a tap had been turned on and she couldn't stop them.

Startled, Yan Dong immediately put down his suitcase and rushed forward to support the person, asking, "Did that person bully you?"

"No, no..."

Reaching out to quickly wipe away her tears, Xiang Mingyu didn't know how her son had managed it, but she knew that the opportunity was rare and she couldn't waste it by crying.

"Dongdong, how's your dad's injury? Are you and Nannan alright?"

"Mom, don't worry. Xiaoqi called Xiaoxu from the Wang family to bring over some medicine for Dad's injury. Dad has already taken it twice and it's working very well. His leg will be completely healed in a few days!"

"Really?"

"Truly, more real than pearls."

"Great!"

Hearing this affirmation, Xiang Mingyu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to settle down.

"These were all prepared by Xiaoqi and brought by Xiaoxu. Mom, please take them back and remember to eat them with Xixi every day. You must take good care of your health."

"what is this?"

"There's food, nutritional supplements, and changes of underwear and daily necessities. You'll see when you get back."

"No, what if we give them all to you and your sons?"

"We kept some, Mom. Don't worry about us. We can only be at ease if you and Xixi are both well."

Nodding vigorously, Xiang Mingyu understood what her son meant and repeatedly assured him, "Mom will take good care of herself and Xixi."

He took her hand and clasped his palms together. Yan Dong heard the knocking on the door and knew it was time for their meeting.

Looking at his mother, who looked much thinner and more haggard, with deep reluctance, Yan Dong suddenly choked up, his voice breaking from the pain.

"Mommy will hang in there, everything will be alright, Dongdong, don't cry."

Yan Dong nodded haphazardly, turned his back to wipe his eyes, forced a smile, gave her a gentle hug before letting go, and left through the open door under the escort of guard Shi Dali.

She covered her face and cried for a while before stopping. With the fat woman urging her again in dissatisfaction, Xiang Mingyu struggled to lift the large suitcase and return to her cell.

"mom!"

"Xixi, it's alright, it's alright, it's your older brother."

As soon as the door opened, Xiang Mingyu saw her daughter rushing out like a madwoman. She immediately dropped the suitcase in her hand, hugged her, and explained briefly.

"Big brother?"

"Yes, he brought us this."

Hearing this, Yanxi realized it wasn't the worst-case scenario he had feared, and he finally calmed down his murderous aura.

He helped his mother carry the large suitcase back to their bedside.

When they opened the box to check what was inside, they found that in addition to what Yan Dong had mentioned, there were also the mother and daughter's monthly personal items tucked among their undergarments. The two were even more excited and happy than when they saw the candy and cookies.

"Ningning is such a sweet little angel!"

These are things that Yan Bei, as a grown man, would never have thought of preparing.

"That's great, I don't have to worry anymore, thank you Ningning!"

With less than a few days until her period, Yanxi was secretly worried about what to do. She even wondered if she should stuff some wood ash into her pants like other women.

Just thinking about it made her want to squeeze her legs together; she wouldn't have to experience that feeling anyway.

"Has Big Brother said anything about Xiao Qi? What about Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and the others?"

"We haven't even had a chance to talk yet; the time we had to meet was too short."

"There'll probably be another chance to run into each other in the cafeteria these next couple of days, then I'll ask."
