"Mom, you guys don't have work today?"

Brothers Ning Boyuan and Ning Zhongqi each brought their wives and children, with large and small bags of food and gifts hanging on the front of their cars as they entered the yard.

I thought I arrived early, after all, my parents had said they had to go to work, but I didn't expect the old couple to have a surprise.

"Mom/Auntie, I'm back." Ning Shaolan and Ning Xi also entered the house at this time.

Ning Xi met Ning Shaolan after picking up the package, and they came back together.

The eldest and second oldest children were born before liberation, and they were used to calling their parents "Dad" and "Mom" since childhood. Ning Shaolan was born in 1955, and he followed the crowd and called them "Mom" and "Dad".

Add Ning Xi to the mix, and the family has all sorts of names.

"Who is this?" Ning Boyuan saw a strange woman sitting on the kang. She was dressed very elegantly and had an extraordinary temperament, like a lady in a classical painting.

Liu Chunmei introduced her to the children: "This is my sister, Guan Yulan."

Ning Boyuan and his friends knew that their grandmother was not their biological mother, and they also knew that their mother had lost siblings. Seeing this, they were more surprised than shocked, and hurriedly called for help.

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, auntie!" The two little guys were very sweet-talkers and didn't show any shyness at all.

"Okay, okay, Auntie will give you some candy."

Guan Yulan was well prepared. She took out her basket, opened it, and took out a handful of White Rabbit candies. She distributed the candies to everyone one by one, leaving out all the young people present.

After distributing the candies, she took out red envelopes and gave one to everyone, including Ning Shuhan and Ning Jiqiu who were not present.

"Take it, kids. Auntie is happy today." Guan Yulan looked at her sister, then at the tall and strong children, feeling deeply moved.

The little girl who used to follow her has now become a grandmother.

Ning Xi waited until everyone had said hello and exchanged pleasantries before going aside to open the package. The little ones liked this beautiful aunt very much and all gathered around her feet.

This package was sent from Chu Hongchen, who was far away in Nanji Province. There were two letters inside, one written by him and the other by Qu Hua.

After her last successful submission, Qu Hua successfully submitted several more times. The commune was planning to promote her to work in the Propaganda Department, and this time she wrote a letter specifically to thank Ning Xi.

He also stated that once the grain was distributed this time, he would exchange it for national food coupons and send them to her as a treat for her.

Although Qu Hua felt that she was selected based on her own abilities, she would not have taken this path without Ning Xi's encouragement to submit her work.

"... Comrade Ning Xi, thank you. You are a beacon on my life's path, illuminating my path to a new beginning... I hope our friendship will remain as warm as the sun forever."

The letter from Chu Hongchen was very thick. When Ning Xi opened it, she saw a thick stack of tickets inside.

A lot of daily necessities, food coupons, and a radio ticket.

These tickets are local tickets of Mingjiang City. Since they cannot be used in other places, they were all given to Ningxi.

The pork in the package was obtained from his exchange, and it was legitimate, so she could eat it without worry to replenish her body. There was also a can of vanishing cream that he bought from the local supply and marketing cooperative.

Because he heard the female educated youth discussing buying a bottle of vanishing cream to share, and he thought that the girls would definitely like it.

He also told her to take good care of her body.

The letter ended with a description of his living conditions during this period, his anxiety about not being able to contact his parents, and the county agricultural technology station's delay in providing any news.

Ning Xi looked at the two thick letters and felt very complicated for a moment.

She reassessed herself.

If she were to ask herself honestly, Ning Xi would feel that she was a selfish person, but her selfishness was reasonable, not self-serving at the expense of others.

Qu Hua was suggested to contribute because she was also actively looking for ways to avoid working in the fields, but she could not write the kind of text that was both red and professional.

I happened to see Qu Hua's notes, and thought of selling them as a package with painting accessories.

Perhaps this combination of calligraphy and painting will give the editor a refreshing feeling.

This might give you another way out.

The same applies to pushing Chu Hongchen forward. Since he himself does not have the ability to do the job, he recommends someone with ability and turns the capable person into his own network resource.

It can be said that everything she did was based on her own interests.

But on the first day, Qu Hua would rather deduct his own work points to send her to the health center, without any motivation for profit.

And there was Chu Hongchen. Not only did he send the meat, but he also sent a thick stack of tickets, which far exceeded what she had paid.

As for Ruan Liping, she made a deal with her on a one-for-one basis, but she found that Ruan Liping was actually quite nice to her.

After realizing that this kindness was not out of self-interest, she subconsciously distanced herself from the other party, and even refused Ruan Liping's invitations to dinner at her home several times.

Did she have any feelings for these people? Perhaps, but not much, almost negligible.

"Aunt, aunt, are you in a daze?"

Seeing Ning Xi looking at the letter for a long time without saying anything, the two little guys couldn't stand it anymore and came to pull her.

"Aunt, are you unhappy?" The eldest child Ning Hua fell in love with this beautiful aunt at first sight.

The little guy peeled the big white rabbit in his hand, lifted it up, and stood on tiptoe to feed it into her mouth.

"Auntie will give you some candy. You will be happy if you eat something sweet."

Ning Zi was very envious of her cousin's hard work and regretted giving all the candies to her mother. Now she could only watch helplessly and pull at the corner of her aunt's clothes.

"Auntie doesn't want to eat it, so you eat it." Ning Xi's heart was melted by the cuteness of the two children.

Who wouldn’t like a cub that is well-behaved, not naughty, and gives candy to her?
