A Guide to Raising Younglings During Natural Disasters

Natural disasters were incessant. Ning Xia had survived alone for six years and finally decided to return to her old home in Qianzhou to start anew. Unexpectedly, she rescued two skinny little ones...

Chapter 126 Awareness

Le Zhengtang's face darkened as he changed his clothes and walked out of the room. Several young coalition soldiers surrounded Ningxia, asking questions and talking at once. It was obvious that they had no good intentions.

"Ning... Ningxia! Didn't you say you wanted to see the fish when I went to your house last time? I've changed my clothes, I'll take you there." Le Zhengtang mingled with the crowd, grabbed Ningxia's wrist and led her out of the yard easily.

"What does this guy mean?"

"That's so unkind, Le Zheng!"

The voices behind her grew farther and farther away, and Ningxia breathed a sigh of relief. Young people these days are truly impressive. Those coalition soldiers were roughly her age. Were they so anxious to resolve their personal problems?

Wait, in a flash, Ningxia looked at Le Zheng beside her, and she seemed to understand something.

She understood why Le Zheng had been grinning foolishly in her house, and understood the meaningful look he gave her when he went to lure away the wild boars.

"you..."

Seeing Ningxia staring at him, Le Zhengtang touched his face awkwardly, "What's wrong..."

Ningxia swallowed, "No... just thank you. I'm not used to that kind of occasion."

Le Zhengtang touched the back of his head. "Well, those guys are all slick talkers, none of them are good people, just ignore them. Since you've never seen a fish before, I'll take you to see it."

"It's okay. Nowadays, there are more men than women, and there is an age gap among many single people. It's normal for everyone to be anxious." Having said that, Ningxia looked at Le Zheng with a scrutinizing gaze for the first time.

She stared at him seriously and asked, "What about you? You're not that old, but it's time to consider it." She looked at him seriously, not missing any subtle expression on his face.

Le Zhengtang met her burning gaze, was stunned for two seconds, then turned his head away in panic, "I... I'm not in a hurry..." After saying that, a look of regret flashed across his face again.

Le Zhengtang tightened his grip and asked tentatively, "What about you?"

Ningxia turned her head away and stopped looking at him. It didn't matter what Le Zhengtang said anymore. She had already gotten the answer she wanted from his reaction.

Her heart was in a mess, and she said perfunctorily: "I'm fine, there's no rush."

"Oh." Le Zhengtang's tone was filled with disappointment. If he had known, he would have said it directly. He missed another opportunity.

The two of them moved forward silently, each with their own little thoughts.

Ningxia fell into a deep trance. How could she reject him? But he hadn't said anything! Why should she reject him? Yes! Why should she reject him!

Ningxia suddenly stopped and turned to look at Le Zheng. She had thought about this before. Why should she reject him? She couldn't stay single forever.

Mo Guanshan is already a thing of the past, and she probably won't have the chance to see him again in this lifetime. It's impossible for her to remain a virgin for the rest of her life for a man who has disappeared for more than two years.

"What...what happened again..." Le Zheng was almost nervously exhausted by Ningxia's constant surprise.

Ningxia looked at the equally young face in front of her, and she realized that she had never compared them before, but in fact the two people were completely different.

Mo Guanshan is not as easygoing as Le Zheng. If he doesn't like someone, he can yell at you until you die. He is also not as shy as Le Zheng. He is a very shameless person who acts like a rogue.

Ningxia was shocked to realize that the figure had stayed in her mind for too long, and she quickly came back to her senses.

She sighed and decided to let it go for now. It wasn't fair to Le Zheng. Le Zheng hadn't said anything explicitly, so whatever she said would be baffling. She'd just wait and see...

Le Zhengtang looked at Ningxia sighing and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why.

The lakeside was very lively. Not long after the two arrived, Lei Lao Hu and others also arrived with Sangsang and Lin Yi in their arms.

The three siblings stood together to join in the fun, but only Sangsang stared intently at the noisy crowd, while the other two were in a trance.

Ningxia couldn't help but follow Le Zheng who went down to the lake to help, and a lot of random thoughts ran through her mind.

Lin Yi quietly observed Ningxia's expression. It seemed that she was really going to have a brother-in-law. Sigh...

"Woohoo!!" The crowd suddenly became noisy.

Ningxia came to his senses and looked at the big net in the center of the lake. It was filled with fat and lively fish.

"Woohahahahahahaha~" Sangsang didn't know what he was laughing at. He followed the ghost's screams and then started laughing.

"Let's do it! Throw back everything under three pounds! Don't let them all run dry! Come back next year!"

"Got it! Monitor! I say that every year!"

The hustle and bustle by the lake made Ningxia a little dazed. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen such a harmonious and lively scene.

A group of people were walking towards the sentry post in a lively manner. Most of them were wet and filled with a fishy smell, but no one disliked it. They just thought it was fragrant. Thinking of the smell of fresh fish, it smelled even more fragrant.

Most of the coalition forces that came this time were cooks, so Ningxia just waited quietly for food.

Two large stoves were set up in the yard, and a big pot was filled with delicious tofu and fish soup.

On the other side of the stove was a huge wire mesh baking tray, filled with fat and tender fish coated with seasonings.

If you say he came from the camp, he would have brought all the necessary equipment.

It was not until the sun went down that the coalition forces, with a shout from the chef, rushed forward and prepared to eat. Ningxia couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

There were more than twenty allied forces, all shouting at the top of their lungs. The scene was quite intimidating.

Sangsang and Lin Yi had never experienced this before and were a little nervous. They stayed close to Ningxia and were unwilling to move forward.

Pingzi brought over a large plate. "Come, kids, eat! Uncle Ping used less chili and grilled it especially for you."

Lin Yi then quickly stood up, thanked him and took the plate.

Sangsang finally smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Pingzi."

Pingzi turned around and joined the fighting.

There were also some smart people who were not afraid of Ningxia's cold attitude. They picked a few pieces of the tenderest fish belly and wanted to show their courtesy.

As a result, he was stopped by Le Zhengtang halfway, who gave him a lot of glares, so he had no choice but to smile and walk away.

"Come, Lao Hu said you can eat spicy food too, try it." Le Zhengtang brought over a whole fish.

"Did you bake it?"

Le Zhengtang was a little embarrassed. "My cooking skills are average. Try it. If you don't like it, I'll ask Brother Pingzi to bake another one for you."

Under the candlelight, the man's face was extremely pious and gentle, his eyelids drooped and his eyelashes were thick. He didn't even dare to look directly at Ningxia. Ningxia couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but she didn't feel disgusted.

"Yo yo yo! What are you two doing!!"

"Le Zheng is such a dishonest kid! What else can we do?"

As soon as Ningxia took the fish, she heard joking voices all around. Even she couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot. It had nothing to do with love, it was just human nature.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You all act like you haven't eaten for 800 years! Can't our Le Zheng take care of the female comrades? Drink quickly! Don't waste time!" Lei Lao Hu spoke up to help out.
