As soon as the three of them walked out and wanted to go to Old Man Zhao to get a book, they heard a voice coming from the front.

It was clearly Old Man Zhao, his voice was full of anger.

"Who told you to move?! These books have been sold. I specially tied them up and put them aside."

Old Man Zhao was so angry that he just went back to the rest room at the back to get a glass of water. The bundle of books he promised to help Lu Yuan and the others was messed up, and the rope that tied the books was broken.

An Qian, who was still a little guilty, couldn't hold back her anger when she heard Old Man Zhao scolding her. She straightened up and put her hands on her waist.

"How do I know this stack of books is for sale? I just want to see if there are any books I want to buy inside."

"Haha, little girl, you are really thick-skinned. Didn't you see the receipt I put above?"

Old man Zhao laughed angrily at her and pointed at the paper ball that An Qian crumpled into a ball and threw randomly at his feet.

"The amount was written on the receipt and it was stamped. You are too young to have bad eyesight, right?"

An Qian was choked by him, her eyes wandering, but she didn't want to admit defeat at all.

She was just afraid that An Nian would snatch away her first golden finger after her rebirth. Ever since An Nian left, she had been anxious. She had just had the opportunity to search when no one was around, so how could she give up.

But at this time, An Qian could only hold her neck and refuse to admit it.

"I didn't see it, and I didn't throw that receipt away. Maybe it was the wind!

There was a strong wind just now, and it was not impossible that the receipt was blown away.

Master Zhao, you can’t just accuse people randomly! "

Old Man Zhao originally just wanted to say a few words, but An Qian admitted and apologized.

Unexpectedly, An Qian would not admit her mistakes and wanted to look down on herself from the moral high ground.

Suddenly, Old Man Zhao became unhappy. He smiled coldly and pointed at the door of the waste recycling station.

"You have been looking for us for three days in a row. I saw you were anxious for the past two days, so I asked you to find him at midnight every day.

Now that I think about it, I also have bad intentions.We won't do your business anymore!

Get out of here right now! "

Since she was admitted to college, no one has dared to say such things to herself. An Qian was so angry that her whole body was shaking and she clenched her fists.

The commotion they made here was a bit loud. Not only An Nian and the three of them saw it, but also people from other corners gradually poked their heads out curiously to observe.

Wu Jinyao always liked to watch the fun, and he was just doing his work when he agreed to find books for An Qian. When he heard the slightest noise, he wanted to go watch the fun.But when he found out that the person causing trouble was An Qian, he retreated again, fearing that An Qian would be involved if he went out.

Wu Jinyao was enjoying the excitement, but An Qian was in trouble and was about to be kicked out.

At this time, Wu Jinyao couldn't wait any longer, and he hurried over to comfort him.

"Qianqian, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"

After comforting An Qian, he quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and sent it to Old Man Zhao.

"Master Zhao, please smoke a cigarette. Oh, it's just a small matter. There is no need to get angry with a little girl. She didn't mean it. You sir have a lot, so just let her go this time, right?"

An Qian's mouth moved, and she didn't want to admit her mistake at all, but thinking that she hadn't found the ancient book yet, she just had to suppress her anger and stand aside without saying a word.

Old Man Zhao avoided Wu Jinyao's hand offering the cigarette, took two steps forward, picked up the receipt on the ground, unfolded it, and smoothed it.

"You two are together, right? Then let's go together."

"I say……"

Wu Jinyao was not a good-tempered person. He originally thought that with a few words of humiliating advice, the old man would be able to get off the road, but he didn't expect that he would be so stubborn and would definitely ask An Qian to leave.

Instantly, he lost his breath. He put away his cigarette and wanted to reason.

Seeing Wu Jinyao trying to push him, Yu Luyuan frowned slightly and walked over.

"What? Want to cause trouble?"

While he was talking, Yu Luyuan had already come to stand next to Old Man Zhao, looking at Wu Jinyao with a half-smile.

Wu Jinyao's raised hand froze in mid-air, and he shook it awkwardly.

"No way, this is a state unit, I don't dare to cause trouble."

Yu Luyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his fierce aura instantly appeared: "Since you don't want to cause trouble, why don't you leave?!"

Wu Jinyao gritted his teeth and really didn't dare to attack Yu Luyuan, who looked like a soldier. The main reason was that he really couldn't beat him!

"Qianqian, let's go!"

An Qian didn't want to leave: "Master Zhao, I haven't found the book I want yet."

Old Man Zhao frowned impatiently: "Look elsewhere! You will not be welcome here in the future!"

"You!" An Qian was so angry that her eyes were red.

"Xiaoju! Get the broom!" Mr. Zhao shouted to his granddaughter.

"Okay, grandpa." The little girl ran out of the corner obediently, holding a long broom in her hand.

The broom pole was two meters long. Old Man Zhao swung it out and hit An Qian and Wu Jinyao hard.

"Ah! Why do you hit someone?! I'm going to sue you!"

"Go and sue! It's useless to sue anywhere! I, the old man, stand up!" Old man Zhao was not afraid at all, and his back was straight.

An intense murderous intention flashed in An Qian's eyes. Her gaze passed over Old Man Zhao, and then past An Nian and Yu Luyuan who were standing silently beside them, gritting her teeth unwillingly.

"Jinyao, let's go!"

Wu Jinyao couldn't wait to see it, he likes to watch the excitement, but he doesn't like to be looked at like a monkey at all.

Many people are watching them at the waste recycling station.

The two ran away hand in hand in embarrassment, drawing ridicule from the onlookers.

Old man Zhao rested his hands on the broom pole with a smile on his face.

"Yu boy, thank you this time."

"You're welcome, I was the one who troubled you in the first place."

In those few minutes, Yu Luyuan had already understood the reason for the development of the matter.If he hadn't asked the old man to read the book, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble with An Qian and others.

An Nian also said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Zhao, it was me who caused you trouble."

"Hey, it's a small thing. I often help people guard things, but that little girl is rude." Old Man Zhao laughed and folded the flat receipt again. "Boy Yu, keep the receipt. If you lose it, you won't be able to replace it."

"Okay." Yu Luyuan took it and put it in his pocket.

At this time, Xiaoju came over with two books, raised his head and looked at An Nian, his big dark eyes were very beautiful.

"Sister, your books were messed up. I'll give you two more to compensate."

"Ah, no need." An Nian quickly refused.

"It's okay. These two books are exercise books. You can do the questions carefully when you go back."

Xiaoju dodged her hand, squatted on the ground, neatly arranged the books, and took out a new rope to tie the books up again.

Mr. Zhao was watching from the side with a smile: "Just take it. No one wants this kind of exercise book. I usually give it out as a supplement."

"Then thank you, old man."

Yu Luyuan stopped being polite and reached out to lift the stack of books.Before leaving, he whispered a few words into Old Man Zhao's ear.

After hearing this, Old Man Zhao nodded gently: "No problem, you can come over anytime at night. I'll be there anyway."

This waste recycling station occupies the land of Old Man Zhao's home. It is very convenient for him to go to work or get off work, so he asked An Qian to come here two days in a row until very late.

"Nian Nian, let's go."

An Nian obediently waved goodbye to Old Man Zhao and Xiao Ju, and left with Yu Luyuan and Liao Mingyan.

After walking far away, she asked Yu Luyuan.

"Brother, are only Grandpa Zhao and Xiao Ju responsible for such a large recycling bin?"

"Actually, there are other staff, but they only come when a large amount of goods are put into the warehouse. Normally, Grandpa Zhao and Xiao Ju are watching. Even though Xiao Ju is only 12 years old, she gets full salary."

An Nian blinked in confusion: "Are they both regular workers?"

"Ah."

Yu Luyuan answered softly, with a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Grandpa Zhao's son was a soldier and died a few years ago. He and Xiaoju are both family members of martyrs. The country takes care of them and gives them two official worker quotas."

"I understand."

An Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Liao Mingyan said with enlightenment: "Could his son be Zhao Gangtang?"

"It's him."

"Oh. If I had known I should have brought something with me when I came here just now. Company Commander Zhao is my idol."

"What kind of person is he?" An Nian asked softly, seeing a hint of sadness in their expressions.

Yu Luyuan smiled at her: "His will is as strong as his name. In order to protect national assets, he died together with the enemy. Many soldiers watched him off with tears..."

"awesome."

An Nian sincerely admires him. She cannot understand this spirit of sacrifice for the country, because there is no concept of country in the world of cultivation, only sect.

It's a pity that she is just a casual cultivator and has no sect, so she has never had any sense of belonging.

However, this does not prevent An Nian from admiring such people.

During his hundreds of years of cultivation, An Nian has also seen the changes in cultivation sects.

She once witnessed the destruction of a sect. The most promising prodigy in the contemporary era would rather destroy their own cultivation than drag the enemies who destroyed their sect to die together. This is their sense of belonging.

"Yes." Yu Luyuan raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair, "Maybe one day, I will also walk on this road."

An Nian's heart palpitated suddenly, she looked up at him and looked into his eyes.

There was a touch of tenderness in Yu Luyuan's eyes, but also an incomparable determination.

An Nian reached out for the first time and grabbed Yu Luyuan's big palm under his sober gaze.

Their hands, one big and one small, one black and one white, were held together in perfect harmony.

"Brother, I won't let you die. I will save you."

Yu Luyuan was stunned for a moment, and ripples slowly appeared in his eyes, as if a calm lake surface was suddenly blown by a breeze, and the ripples spread in circles.

"Okay, I believe you."

Liao Mingyan looked at the two of them strangely, always feeling that something was wrong.

However, this strangeness only existed for a second. In this era, it was impossible for An Nian and Yu Luyuan to be too intimate outside.

Their hands separated quickly, as if An Nian had simply taken Yu Luyuan's hand off his head just now.

"Brother Liao, what do you want to eat?"

Liao Mingyan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Sister, are you really planning to treat me to dinner?"

"Of course." An Nian nodded without hesitation, "Mom will come over to eat with us later."

Then An Nian explained a little bit why he couldn't invite Liao Mingyan to his home for dinner.

Liao Mingyan expressed his understanding.

"Okay! Let's go to the state-owned hotel to get a seat first. We won't have a good seat if we're late."

Night is the best time for banquets, and business in state-owned restaurants is booming.

So, the three of them turned a corner at the intersection and went directly to the county state-owned hotel.

Li Youmei was very thorough in her work. When An Nian and the others arrived, she was already chatting with the waiter inside.

Nowadays, the waiter in a state-owned hotel has a guaranteed job. She has no idea of ​​"customer first". She can chat with anyone she likes, and no one will complain about her.

"mom!"

An Nian stepped into the door of the state-owned hotel and smiled and waved to Li Youmei.

"Oh, my son and daughter-in-law are here. No more chatting!"

Li Youmei put down the half-kneaded melon seeds, waved to An Nian and the others, and shouted loudly.

"Nian Nian, come and sit here quickly! We are next to each other."

"Okay." An Nian trotted over. "Mom, it's really lively tonight."

The state-owned hotel was packed with people!There were many more people than the last time they came.

While it was lively, the noise was also extremely loud. An Nian had to lean close to Li Youmei's face to hear what she said clearly. Li Youmei had to shout just now to make An Nian hear her.

"Isn't that right? Today seems to be the day when all units in the county pay wages."

Li Youmei had just heard a lot of news from the waiter. While asking Liao Mingyan to order dishes, she leaned into An Nian's ear and started whispering to her.

"I heard they started raising wages this month. Now the average worker can earn 45 yuan a month."

"So much?" An Nian's eyes widened in surprise, "Our village is busy all year round, so each person can only get ten yuan, right?"

"Ten dollars is too much."

Li Youmei divided the melon seeds in front of her between her and lowered her voice a lot.

"So you still need to study more. Nian Nian, you are so smart, even if you can't go to college, mom believes that you will definitely be able to get into a formal position!"

"Hey, mom, you have the most confidence in me."

An Nian coquettishly took Li Youmei's hand and rubbed against her.

Whether An Nian is simply traveling through time, or whether he is traveling from a quasi-ancient world like the world of cultivation to the modern era at the end of 1977, he has no idea of ​​the future development at all.

But somewhere, she felt that going to college would be a better way out.

Going to college is still An Nian's first choice.

"Mom, Ming Yan and I ordered two meat dishes. Let's see what else you and Niannian want to eat?"

Yu Luyuan interrupted at the right time.

Li Youmei took the menu: "Nian Nian, what do you want to eat?"

"Is there any braised pork?"

Yu Luyuan chuckled: "I ordered it."

An Nian pursed her lips and smiled at him: "Then I just want another green vegetable."

Four dishes for four people is quite sumptuous in this day and age.

When the food arrived, the plates were piled high.

Li Youmei chatted with Liao Mingyan very enthusiastically, so enthusiastically that Liao Mingyan blushed a little, and she was secretly happy, thinking that she might be able to take care of her mother-in-law first.

After the meal, Yu Luyuan saw off the reluctant Liao Mingyan and handed the book in his hand to Li Youmei.

"Mom, you go home first, I want to accompany Niannian to the waste recycling station."

"it is good."

Li Youmei didn't ask any questions, took the book and left.She is willing to let her son and daughter-in-law spend more time together, preferably alone.

"Let's go."

Yu Luyuan stopped and turned to look at An Nian behind him.

He is waiting for her.

"Oh." An Nian lowered his head slightly and moved over in small steps.

Yu Luyuan looked at her and thought how could she be so cute. He put a fist to his lips to suppress his laughter.

Now the sky is completely dark, and the number of people on the avenue is gradually becoming less and less.

The two walked side by side, as if they could only hear each other's breathing.

Ambiguity lingers between the two.

"Nian Nian, as I told you last time, if I want to return to the army, I will apply for marriage..."

Yu Luyuan was only halfway through what he said when he was interrupted by An Nian's suddenly raised voice.

"What is the taste?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked forward, and her keen senses allowed her to clearly sense that something dangerous was happening ahead!

"Brother Yu! The recycling bin seems to be on fire!"

When Yu Luyuan heard this, his expression also changed.
