Chapter 18

Ye Xuanhan felt embarrassed to be lazy, so he helped Jiang Wang bring the food into the living room.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, she stared at Jiang Wang, waiting for him to start eating.

Jiang Wang felt Ye Xuanhan’s burning gaze, so he silently picked up a piece of meat and put it in Ye Xuanhan’s bowl.

Ye Xuanhan took one sip and felt very satisfied.

The pork is fried until slightly charred, tender and juicy when bitten, with just the right amount of spiciness, and becomes more appetizing the more you eat it.

The taste really pleased Ye Xuanhan.

The pickled cabbage was sour and refreshing, and the stewed spareribs were tender and soft, and the bones fell off in one sip. Ye Xuanhan enjoyed the meal very much.

If it were the end of the world, she would have to keep Jiang Wang as her mistress and cook for him every meal.

Jiang Wang looked at Ye Xinhan’s satisfied expression and realized that she was very satisfied with his cooking skills.

“I’ll cook for you when we get back to Yun’an County.”

“good.”

Ye Xuanhan’s mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he began to feel excited.

What delicious food will Jiang Wang make for her next time?

When the two were almost done eating, a male voice was heard outside the yard.

“Brother Jiang, are you in there?”

It’s Chen Yan.

Ye Hanhan looked at Jiang Wang, only to see him stand up and go out to open the door for Chen Yan.

The two of them were standing at the gate of the yard and talking, but their voices were so low that Ye Hanhan couldn’t hear them at all.

I knew in my heart that the two were discussing serious matters.

She didn’t go up to disturb them, but sat in the house waiting.

After a while, Jiang Wang walked into the house alone.

“Xianhan, I have to go back to the army. My superiors are urging me to go back. I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until tomorrow.”

“Well, have a nice trip.”

Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang both pursed their lips and said nothing, but they could see reluctance in each other’s eyes.

At this time, Chen Yan, who was standing outside the door, urged, “Brother Jiang, hurry up, the train I bought is for 4:00 this afternoon, if you delay any longer, it will be late.”

Ye Hanhan reacted and quickly took out some food from his room, which was old bread, melon seeds, and some miscellaneous snacks that he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago.

“Take it on the train, so you can eat it when you’re free.”

Jiang Wang nodded, “Take care of yourself, I’ll come again next time,” then he strode away from Ye Han’s house.

Ye Xuanhan was slightly stunned.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

She began to feel sad for some reason.

Jiang Wang is in the army all year round, so it is impossible for him to come to Yun’an County to see her every month.

As the distance between us increases, the feelings will naturally fade.

Thinking of the passionate and long kiss in the morning, Ye Han felt empty inside.

She closed the door, went back to the house to clean up the dishes, and then cleaned the house.

After finishing everything, Ye Han collapsed on the bed exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, if you keep yourself busy, you won’t have time to think about those messy things.

Ye Xuanhan slept until dawn, but the warm bed made her reluctant to get up.

Anyway, the snow has melted these two days and the ground is muddy, so she doesn’t need to go to work.

I simply entered the space and started organizing supplies.

Most of the things taken out from Ye Yong’s house last time were useless garbage, and some were the seasonings and food they had eaten.

Ye Xuanhan tried his best to keep all the usable things, and put the unusable ones in the trash and destroy them when he had time.

And Ye Han didn’t know what to do with the gold bars he took out from the wretched man’s space last time.

In the 1970s, private buying and selling of gold bars was prohibited, and once discovered, it would be considered a crime of speculation.

Selling it to a bank is not an option either, as the gold bars are not obtained legally and it would be troublesome if discovered.

Fortunately, she had space, otherwise this thing would have been a hot potato in her hands.

Ye Hanhan thought about it and decided to find time to donate the things to the country.

China is now in a period of construction, and hard currencies like gold are scarce no matter what era or place.

There are a lot of things in her space, and there are many ways to make money.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be exchanged for gold.

Just as Ye Xuanhan was calculating the gold, there was a knock on the door.

She has severed ties with Ye Yong’s family, and Jiang Wang has joined the army. Who would come to see her at this time?

Ye Hanhan quickly left the space and went outside to open the door for someone.

Before he could see clearly who was coming at the door, he saw the other person kneeling down in front of Ye Han.

“Sister Ye, please help my grandpa, please help my grandpa.”

Ye Xuanhan:? ? ? ! ! !

It was eight o’clock in the morning, the weather was cold, and the ground was muddy and icy.

A little boy wearing only a thin cotton coat was kneeling at the door of Ye Xuanhan’s house, his face covered with tears, begging bitterly.

Ye Han recovered and saw the little boy’s appearance clearly.

He was thin and small, looking about seven or eight years old, with his hair cut in uneven patterns, his face was red and purple from the cold, and his hands were covered with chilblains.

It’s Wang Xiaobao, grandson of Mr. Wang.

“Xiaobao?” Ye Hanhan helped Wang Xiaobao up and pulled him into the house. “It’s cold outside, let’s talk inside.”

Ye Han still remembered that Old Wang was not well-liked by everyone in the brigade, and the original owner, Daya, had always helped him secretly before.

If people found out that she was close to Mr. Wang and others, she would definitely be in trouble.

“Xiaobao, what happened?”

After entering the house, Ye Hanhan poured hot water from the thermos into the enamel tub to warm Wang Xiaobao’s hands.

“Sister Ye, my grandpa is sick. Please save him. I beg you.”

Wang Xiaobao did not take the water from Ye Xuanhan’s hand and kept begging her to save Mr. Wang.

Ye Han held his forehead helplessly, “What happened to him?”

“My grandfather suddenly had a high fever yesterday. Doctor Zhao checked him out and said we had to go to town to buy medicine. The team leader refused to give us a letter of introduction…”

Although the little guy was anxious, his speech was still relatively clear.

Mr. Wang suddenly had a high fever yesterday. As the team leader, Li Erhe was afraid of taking responsibility and did not dare to give him a letter of introduction to let him see a doctor.

Thinking of the old man’s frail body, Ye Han sighed.

There are two or three thousand boxes of antipyretic drugs in her space, which she collected from a pharmaceutical company at the end of the world. There are so many that she can’t use them all.

But she is not a saint. Helping Wang’s family is a piece of cake, but if she is discovered, it will be a bottomless abyss.

Furthermore, she didn’t understand why Wang Xiaobao didn’t ask others for help, but instead asked her, an orphan with no one to rely on.

Was it instructed by an adult, or was it…

Ye Hanhan always felt that something was wrong, so he asked, “Xiaobao, I happen to have some antipyretic medicine at home, but you have to tell me clearly, who asked you to come to me?”

She won’t act rashly without clarifying the matter.

There is no benefit in being too close to the Wang family.

“Yes, yes…, I came here on my own initiative.”

The child couldn’t lie and spoke stutteringly, but Ye Han saw through it at a glance.

“Xiaobao, drink the hot water and leave. I won’t help you.”
