Only when the lunch box was empty and the food filled her chest did Su Wanwan put down the spoon expressionlessly and put the lunch box back into her bag.

"Wanwan, I've been feeling a little flustered all day. Why did you come back so late? Was the radio station very busy today?"

Before entering the yard, Su Wanwan wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth to prevent Zhao Ying from discovering the food she had just swallowed.

"It's true that I'm a little busy. I'm a little tired, Mom. I won't eat at night. I'll take a rest first."

She rushed straight into the bedroom, not giving Zhao Ying a chance to continue nagging.

She was worried that if she stood in the living room for too long, she would accidentally burp.

"Mom, don't worry so much. I see that my little sister looks much better today than yesterday. It should be a reaction to the heat stroke. She has no appetite. She will be fine in two or three days."

Hearing the voice of her sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen outside, Su Wanwan buried her head in the quilt, letting her tears silently soak the black cotton... She hoped so.

There was no news from the village for the next three days.

Su Wanwan was busy going back and forth between the radio station and home as usual. She wanted to go out several times to inquire about Xu Yan, but no one in the village knew the latest developments of the matter.

Father Su Yang was nowhere to be seen all day, so Su Wanwan had nowhere to ask even if she wanted to.

Even the village party secretary, who usually has a close relationship with these young people, seems to have not appeared in the past few days.

The whole village was the same as usual, but some places were completely different.

Su Wanwan put down the pencil she had just sharpened and stared with empty eyes at the group of young people who came to the radio station on time every noon.

The young people have developed a habit. After everyone has registered properly, they line up consciously, just like the first day when they came to record the Quotations of the Times, consciously choose the quotation passages they want to record, and leave consciously after the recording is completed.

Watching the familiar young people coming and going, Su Wanwan was too lazy to put on any welcoming expression, and simply sat in the corner of the radio station, allowing these people to come and go freely.

"Wanwan, why are you sitting here? It's so cold sitting on the ground. Get up quickly or you'll catch a cold."

When his mother Zhao Ying came over with the lunch box, Su Wanwan was sitting on the low threshold of the radio station. The young man who came to record the Quotations of the Times had already left, and the door of the radio station was empty. Only Su Wanwan was sitting on the threshold with her chin in her hand, as if she had lost her mind.

He didn't change his movements for half a day.

"Oh, mother."

After being called by Zhao Ying, Su Wanwan seemed to come back to her senses. She slowly stood up from the ground, walked into the radio station, pulled out a chair and asked Zhao Ying to sit down.

"Wanwan, what happened to you recently? Your sister-in-law said that you have the sequelae of heatstroke, but I don't think so. Normally, after heatstroke, you should have diarrhea and your whole body will feel better. In your case, ah, I'll take you to the health center to check it out."

Hearing that Zhao Ying was going to take her to the village clinic, Su Wanwan quickly shook her head, but couldn't think of a new excuse in her mind, so she could only sigh: "Mom, I'm fine, it's just that it's really too hot these two days, and I'm not in a good mood."

"Mother has noticed that you are in a bad mood. You silly girl, why didn't you tell your family? Why are you in a bad mood?"

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly. It would be great if she could tell her family about her worries. Although her family couldn't help her, it was better than her being depressed all day. But the problem was that she couldn't tell her family at all.

Should she confess to her family what she had done with Xu Yan in the past? If her family knew that the pork that suddenly appeared in the house was not from her washing dishes in town, but from her secretly hunting in the mountains with Xu Yan at night, they would be scared to death.

"Mom, please stop asking so many questions. People are born with mood swings. Otherwise, what's the point of living?"

Su Wanwan fiddled with the copper-aluminum lunch box, had no appetite at all, and forced a smile.

"Mom knows that Wanwan has grown up and there are some things she doesn't want to tell me. Don't worry, Wanwan, I won't ask. I just want to know how to make our Wanwan happier."

Zhao Ying carefully considered his words, fearing that he might say something too harsh and make Su Wanwan even more sad.

"Ever since your father told you about the third son of the Xu family, you have been so depressed and refusing to eat. I'd like to guess, is it because of the third son of the Xu family that you are so depressed?"

Could it be that my mother already knew about this? Su Wanwan's heart suddenly tightened in her throat, but when she thought about it carefully, her mother and sister-in-law had been concentrating on doing these handicrafts these days, and she had never seen them ask her about these things.

Why did you suddenly guess this?

"Mom, I heard that Secretary Wang asked you young people in the village twice to provide various evidence to prove that the third son of the Xu family drove the car out of the mountain. Is it because of these two times that you have such a heavy psychological burden? It makes you feel that you are related to this matter?"

After hearing what Zhao Ying said, Su Wanwan finally felt relieved. "Really, not at all. Don't think too much about it. I'll be fine in a few days, really."

"Okay, Wanwan, don't feel any psychological pressure. Your father also said that Xu Yan's situation is not something we can control. He drove the car out of the mountain by himself. This matter is of a serious nature. The outcome of the handling has nothing to do with other people in the village."

Although Zhao Ying was worried about Su Wanwan, he didn't have much to do. He comforted her a few more words and then left with a worried look on his face.

Su Wanwan watched Zhao Ying disappear from her sight and sat back in her chair, but this time she was restless.

Although her mother had just said those words out of concern, she had given her an important message, which was - Xu Yan was really in danger!

What can she do in the village?

Yan Wenxuan's face suddenly appeared in her mind!

It has been several days since she last went to the male educated youth dormitory in the village. Secretary Wang seemed to be nowhere to be seen these days. He must have been going to the town or the county town frequently. So did Yan Wenxuan do as she said?

Su Wanwan immediately stood up from her chair, without even having time to take a few bites of the meal her mother brought her. She packed up everything in the radio station. Not caring that it was still early and everyone was working in the production team, she quickly walked out of the radio station and ran towards the production team's fields.

The harvest in the village has been average in recent years. The production team said that there were too many weeds in the fields, which affected the growth of crops. Due to the lack of machines to clear the weeds, the young people in the village have to spend a lot of time clearing weeds in the fields every day.

When Su Wanwan ran to the fields, she happened to see her third brother Su Di working in the fields. When she looked up, she was surprised to see that her sister had come to the production team.

"Third brother, do you know where Yan Wenxuan works?"

Su Wanwan happened to see her third brother Su Di, so she quickly grabbed him and asked.
