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...
Xiao Jie was turning the pot while paying attention to the movements over there. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Sangsang is really sensible."
Ningxia looked over and found that although the tall boy's face was full of smiles, he revealed a sense of loss. "Yeah, he's like a little adult, not worrying at all."
"My sister is like this too." Xiao Jie didn't know what he was recalling, his eyes were already misty.
"Brother also has a sister? Is she the same age as Sangsang?" Sangsang asked curiously with his little head poked out.
Xiao Jie extended his hand to Sang Sang, who obediently let him take it. "Yes, he's as cute and sensible as Sang Sang. But his brother later became an orphan, so Sang Sang must listen to Xia Xia, otherwise he will be captured by bad guys."
"It will be fine." Ningxia comforted weakly.
Xiaojie smiled nonchalantly, "Sister, do you think this is okay?"
Ningxia followed his gaze and looked at the pot, "Just stir-fry for a while longer." Everyone tacitly skipped the topic.
By the time Ningxia had mixed the meat, it was already dawn. He was hesitating whether to wake up the opera singers in the tent, but they woke up on their own without anyone calling them. They woke up one after another, with a difference of only a few seconds.
They got up quickly, exchanged a few simple greetings, and headed straight for the water's edge. After a quick wash, they headed straight to the shed and quickly packed their belongings, the whole process taking less than ten minutes. Ningxia marveled at the power of the military camp.
"What delicious food has Ningxia made again?" Old Liao smelled the fragrance and moved closer with an extremely obscene expression.
Seeing that everyone was awake, Ningxia stood up and brought the porridge in the thermos over. "I woke up early, so I took the initiative to cook the meat you caught last night. I fried it and coated it with chili powder. Brother Liao, you can try it."
When Lao Liao heard her say that, he quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He chewed the bone until it was broken into pieces and swallowed it, giving a thumbs-up while chewing. "It's fried well, it's so much better than the ones we roasted."
"Can you taste anything with that pig's mouth?" Li Gang took the porridge handed over by Ningxia, sat down and started teasing Lao Liao.
But Lao Liao ignored him and continued eating.
"Where did you get this fish? Did anyone exchange it at the trade point?" Li Gang lowered his head and took a big sip of porridge, then tasted the fish fillet. He flipped the bowl with his chopsticks, picked up another piece of fish fillet, and asked.
Old Liao's throat was gurgling, and he kept shaking his head. No one knew, and then Ningxia spoke, "It's mine."
Li Gang put down his bowl, "Ningxia! You said it's not easy for you to take care of two children. We have food, and we still take yours..."
"Squad leader, I have a big bag of fish in my bag. Besides, it wasn't hard to get these fish. You and a few comrades have taken such good care of us siblings. I have nothing better to give. If I had any good ones, I would have cooked them all."
Xiaojie also looked up, "Sister not only took the fish, but also yesterday's dried eggplant and wild garlic, and today's chili and salt are all mine."
Li Gang was in a dilemma as to whether to eat or not, and the others were embarrassed to stop eating. Only Lao Liao was still busy eating, and only spoke vaguely after stuffing his mouth full of food.
"I'm asking you guys to be honest. You've already done it, and you still want Ningxia to throw it away? We'll be stationed there for a few days, so why don't you help out more? Really? Ningxia worked so hard to make a meal, and you made a mistake? It leaves us at a loss."
Ningxia smiled gratefully at Lao Liao, who waved his hand and continued eating.
Li Gang glared at Lao Liao with dismay before turning to look at Ningxia. "It was unfair for you, a girl, to have to feed so many grown men. You even paid for our meals out of your own pocket. Thank you so much. When we get to the place, we'll have two of us to help you. Just let us know what hard work you need."
Ningxia agreed with a smile. Even if they didn't help, she would still be happy to cook. This group of lovely soldiers gave her hope in life, and this hope was brought to her by the Chocobo.
Ningxia calculated the portions, giving each soldier a bowl of porridge, so there was no excess. The same thing happened with the fried meat; she only poured out half and packed the rest in her bag.
They may not be satisfied with this amount, but it is definitely enough. They can eat the rest at noon without having to worry too much.
After they finished eating, they knew better than to ask for anything else. They packed up their things, filled a few water bottles, and set off.
"Little Sang, I heard that you complain that we eat too much! Huh?" Lao Liao Rang strangled Sang Sang and deliberately spoke roughly to tease her, trying to scare her into tears for fun.
Sangsang wasn't afraid at all, and even reached out to pinch Old Liao's face. "Uncle Liao, you eat the most, and you're tiring Xia Xia out!"
Several people burst into laughter. Lao Liao came over and poked Sangsang's tender little face with his beard, "Oh, little boy, you are really adorable. We won't call you Xia Xia anymore. We will eat you!" After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Sangsang didn't feel scared, he just felt it was noisy.
He reached out several times to push Lao Liao's stubbled face away, but his strength was too weak. Lin Yi, standing by, frowned, but finally couldn't help but step forward to rescue Sang Sang. Lao Liao muttered, "That kid is quite protective of his own."
Seeing that Lin Yi was finally willing to pay attention to him, Sangsang's eyes sparkled, "Brother!"
Lin Yi ignored her and grabbed her armpits and was about to put her on the ground.
Who is Sangsang? Seeing Lin Yi's intention, she lifted her feet up and refused to go down. Lin Yi had no way to stop her. Seeing this, Sangsang quickly grabbed his belt and climbed up with her hands and feet, clinging to Lin Yi's waist.
