Chapter 259 Visiting the Elders 2

In a moment, Ning Xiyue saw a young woman in her thirties with a friendly appearance, wearing a blue apron, with her sleeves rolled up at the elbows and her hands covered with white flour hurried over.

Seeing that the two people at the door looked familiar, he tilted his head and asked tentatively, "Are you the Ning family siblings?"

Ning Xiyue was very surprised and delighted. She really didn't expect that Aunt Chen would recognize them at the first sight.

It seems that today's situation is more certain.

The two siblings looked at each other, their faces were filled with joy, and they responded in unison: "Yes, Aunt Shen."

Shen Qingxia's eyes were full of smiles. She pushed open the other half of the door with her elbow and invited, "Oh, you two siblings look so good together. Come in, don't stand at the door. Let's talk slowly inside."

"Thank you Auntie Shen for bothering me."

The two siblings followed him into the yard carrying things.

There was a table in the yard, with flour and prepared stuffing on it.

There was a little girl about five or six years old sitting at the table with two pigtails. She was looking at the stuffing in the bowl. When she heard the noise, she raised her head and looked at the person who came in curiously.

Shen Qingxia was about to close the door when Ning Xiyue touched her second brother's arm. Seeing this, Ning Qingyuan hurried forward to help close the door: "Aunt Shen, let me do it. Your hands are inconvenient."

"Okay, you come and close it." Shen Qingxia did not refuse, and readily agreed and invited: "I am just kneading the dough to prepare the dumpling wrappers, you can stay and eat dumplings later."

“Auntie Shen, these are the dried mushrooms we made on the mountain. I hope you don’t mind.”

Ning Qingyuan handed over the malted milk and dried mushrooms in his hand, but he only mentioned the dried mushrooms.

Ning Xiyue also followed her second brother and handed over the bacon in her hand, "We made this ourselves, let me give you a taste."

"Look at you two, you came just to come, but what else did you bring?"

Although Shen Qingxia said this, she was still very happy when she saw the things the two juniors brought her.

Even though she knew that the two children came to her today because they wanted her help with something, so what?

These things show that others value her very much. It doesn’t matter whether there is a gift or not. What matters is the heart.

"It's our duty. We are the younger generation, and it's only natural for us to come and visit our elders." Ning Qingyuan pushed the things in his hand forward again.

After Shen Qingxia declined, she accepted the things handed over by the two people with a smile on her face. She smiled and led the two people to the table in the middle of the yard and brought out two benches: "Sit here."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Shen."

After seeing the two of them sitting down, Shen Qingxia said to her daughter, "Xiao He, this is your sister Xiyue, this is brother Qingyuan, hurry up and call them."

Shen Qingxia was not worried about her daughter at all. After she said that, she carried her things into the house with confidence.

"Hello, brother and sister." The little girl named Xiaohe shouted loudly without any stage fright.

"Oh, you are so good. Is your name Xiaohe? Come here to your sister, and your sister will give you something." Ning Xiyue spoke to her in a soft voice and waved at her.

Xiao He jumped off the bench, ran to Ning Xiyue in a few steps, and looked at her curiously.

Ning Xiyue took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy wrapped in oil paper from her bag and put it in her hand. There were nearly half a pound of it.

When I was choosing gifts for her, I forgot to consider such a young child. Fortunately, the thing she has the most in her space is all kinds of snacks.

This bag of White Rabbit milk candy was bought for her by her second brother a while ago. It would be most appropriate to use the snacks that her second brother gave her as a gift.

Although she had Aunt Lin's letter, she still had to have the right attitude when asking someone to do something for her, and she couldn't tarnish Aunt Lin's reputation.

Especially for such an important matter as transferring the household registration, of course all aspects must be considered, and the children cannot be left out, so as to show sincerity, and Aunt Chen will be even happier when she sees it.

Ning Qingyuan was very touched when he saw this. His sister was so thoughtful of him that she shared all the White Rabbit candies that he liked.

He decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to make up for his sister later. This was his job and he couldn't let his sister suffer any loss.

Xiao He took the bag curiously, and when he saw that it was full of White Rabbit candies, his eyes lit up instantly, but he still handed it back to Ning Xiyue reluctantly, shook his head, and said seriously:

"I can't accept it, sister. Mom won't let me just accept anything given by others."

Ning Xiyue was surprised for a moment. This child is a good child who is obedient and can resist temptation.

He was able to refuse a bag of White Rabbit candy in his hand. His family taught him well. She touched the child's pigtails and said softly:

"Then you take it first. When mom comes out, you can ask her first. If it doesn't work, you can return it to your sister."

"I'm here." Just then Shen Qingxia came out with two cups of tea: "Xiyue, Qingyuan, come and have some tea."

"Thank you Aunt Shen."

Ning Qingyuan and Ning Xiyue stood up and took a step forward to take the tea in their respective hands.

Xiao He saw her mother coming out, and happily ran over with candy in her hand, handing it to her: "Mom, my sister gave me a bag of candy, can I have it?"

"You two kids, just come directly next time. Don't do this anymore." Shen Qingxia saw the White Rabbit milk candies inside and smiled and scolded Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Qingyuan and Ning Xiyue agreed with a smile this time, and they would do the same thing next time.

Shen Qingxia handed the candy to her daughter: "This is given to you by your sister, just accept it and go and thank your brother and sister."

"Thank you, sister." Xiao He ran to Ning Xiyue holding the candy and bowed to thank her. After that, she smiled and ran to Ning Qingyuan to thank him: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome." Ning Qingyuan and Ning Xiyue responded in unison.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I remember when I first met you two, Qingyuan was only as big as my Xiaohe, and Xiyue was a little smaller."

Shen Qingxia kneaded the dough with one hand and measured her height with the other:

"At that time, I went to your Aunt Lin's house to ask her for something. When I walked in, I saw you two sitting on a small stool helping your Aunt Lin pick vegetables. You were so well-behaved and cute. Now when we meet again, you have grown so much. Time flies."

"Xiyue has grown into a graceful young lady, and Qingyuan is also a handsome young man, both are excellent."

"We feel embarrassed by your praise." Ning Xiyue smiled with her hand covering her mouth.

Ning Qingyuan nodded with a smile on his face and stood up: "Thank you for the compliment. Let me help you roll out the dough."

"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll leave the job of rolling out the dough to you." Shen Qingxia gave up her seat and stood in front of the pot of cabbage and pork stuffing.

Ning Qingyuan went to wash his hands and came back to roll out the dough with great effort.

Ning Xiyue and Shen Qingxia were standing by and wrapping dumplings while chatting about her and Aunt Lin, and also caring about Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan's life in the countryside.

When talking about the life of educated youth in the countryside, of course, one cannot avoid talking about the coal mining in the team. Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan, the brother and sister, also deliberately moved the topic towards this.

The conversation among the three naturally turned to the fact that Ning Qingyuan was going to work as a warehouse manager in the mining team.

Shen Qingxia was happy for Ning Qingyuan: "That's great. It's better to be a warehouse manager in a mining team than to stay in the team and work. Congratulations, Qingyuan, this is a great thing."

Things have come to this point, Ning Qingyuan and his sister will certainly not miss this opportunity. Now is a good time to state the purpose of their visit today.

Ning Xiyue gave her second brother a look, and Ning Qingyuan received it and looked at Shen Qingxia sincerely and said:

"Auntie Shen, to be honest, we came here to bother you today because of this matter. We wanted to seek some advice from you."

"Oh, tell me about it."

Shen Qingxia became interested and looked at him with interest. Finally, he got to the point. She had to listen carefully to the two children's ideas.
