Chapter 1658: Chapter 1078: Heroine of the Republic 52 (5000+)_3

An Yi looked at his frostbitten face, ears, and hands, feeling extremely distressed: "Did you apply the medicine I gave you?"

"I did, but everyone asked me for it after seeing it, so it was used up in half a month. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this. My condition is much better than theirs, Mommy An, don’t worry, I’ll recover soon."

Even though he said this, An Yi still found a way to boil hot water for him, letting him soak warmly in the kang room. The dirty water was changed three times before he got clean, and he put on clean clothes while the dirty ones were left aside to be washed.

Back home, An Hu held his two little sisters tightly, "Brother missed you so much. Did you miss brother?"

For the frozen fish An Hu brought back, she directly buried it in the snow pile; it was better than a fridge and easy to take out for eating.

After An Hu suffered for a month outside, An Yi did her best to nourish him when he returned. She also used various methods to cook the big fish he brought back—frying, deep-frying, stewing, chopped chili fish head, pickled cabbage fish. When stewing fish, the golden-brown cakes on top filled everyone’s mouth with oil. An Ran and Anning drooled while watching, but what was prepared for them were fish balls made with fish meat, lacking flavor yet having the freshest initial taste.

"Hu Zi has been at our house for half a year, and see how tall he’s grown. Eat more, and when he grows up, it’ll be advantageous if he joins the army."

Under An Yi’s strong insistence, An Hu is now drinking milk with the two little daughters, one bowl each in the morning and evening. Besides dairy products, there are soybean products, meat protein, eggs, and duck eggs. Since An Hu came home, the quality of daily meals has been much higher than before. Even the child said, it feels like celebrating the New Year every day.

"Eat and drink well, then study hard. Look at your two aunts; they both got into County No. 1 High School this year. They graduated from middle school in just two years. I’m not asking you to surpass their speed, but after the start of school, you should at least graduate elementary school next year, right? Do you have confidence in that?"

An Hu gritted his teeth, making up his mind: "Definitely, I will study well."

An Yi gave him the self-study materials she prepared with satisfaction: "Read them first, then try to do the exercises. If you encounter difficulties, ask your aunts. Aim to complete the courses from fourth to fifth grade before spring arrives, then reinforce them when school starts. That’s how your two aunts studied before, and I’m sure you can do it too."

Elementary school content is naturally not a problem for the two sisters who already graduated middle school. They also need to switch off their brains and rest. An Yi is already very tired from tutoring both of them, so she delegated the task of teaching An Hu to Anna and Angel. They have some shortcuts in learning, and by teaching through their experience, the result might be even better than if she taught him herself as a teacher.

So daily she just cooked, took care of the children, and supervised the adults’ studies. Household chores like washing vegetables, cleaning dishes, and laundry were rarely done by her, leaving her relaxed.

The milk the children drink, she told the Anna sisters it’s sheep milk, purchased specifically through connections. So she went out daily, actually working in the space laboring, then bringing back enough for their morning drink, going out again in the afternoon.

"Sis, look at you working so hard every day, why don’t I go instead?"

Anna’s good intentions were refused by An Yi: "No need; just focus on studying and taking care of the kids. Such little tasks don’t require you."

Regardless, she kept making up and covering lies one after another each day. To the sisters, An Yi seemed not only to have a wide network but also lots of money. Though her salary was high, it couldn’t possibly be spent so lavishly. Sometimes, when facing the constant good food, there was a sense of guilt.

"You don’t need to feel burdened. Our clothes don’t need to be good, but the food must be excellent. Children need nutrition to grow tall. We women need proper nutrition to avoid anemia. It’s essential to avoid dizziness during periods. The body is the fundamental resource for revolution; without it, what future can be there? Therefore, I made an effort to obtain all these things, don’t ask where they came from or how much they cost. Just focus on good learning, keeping healthy—it’s the greatest repayment for me. Because you will eventually repay me with your good health, won’t you?"
