Chapter 39: There is not much food left at home 3
Boss Ning took out bran from the jar, and then took out a smaller bag from the cupboard. The bag was filled with flour. It was the flour left over from making dumpling soup for his sister last time. This time, he could use the bran to make pancakes.
While kerosene was burning, Boss Ning divided the remaining flour into two parts. Ning Jing thought Boss Ning wanted to keep it, so she quickly said, "Brother, let's do it all. We have plenty of wheat!"
Boss Ning smiled and said, "Well, sister, I know. The portion that was set aside is for you to make pancakes separately!"
Ning Jing didn't want to eat alone, and there was not much flour left. Ning Jing took advantage of Boss Ning's inattention to pour flour into the bran, then stir it with chopsticks. She let go when she couldn't tell the difference between the flour and the bran.
Then he looked at Boss Ning and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm grown up now. I can't eat alone!"
Boss Ning wants his sister to eat well. In his heart, his sister is very young and delicate, and is a pampered girl who needs special care.
I figured I'd use bone soup with noodles later, it must be delicious.
Ning Lao Da looked at the family's reputation and thought that if he saved some food, his sister could eat white flour buns and noodles or dumplings every day like the people in the city.
When Boss Ning was almost done, Ning Xiaoer, Ning Xiaosan, Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei had all gotten dressed and were not sleeping in.
After Boss Ning finished cooking, they packed up everything.
I had meat last night, so I wasn’t very hungry today. But when I smelled the meat-flavored pancake, my stomach started growling.
The little ones looked at each other and laughed. Boss Ning said, "Alright, let's eat now. I didn't prepare any porridge. Everyone, drink some hot water. We can take the rest with us to eat in town."
There were also only three baskets, and Ning Jing also wanted to go. Li Dachuan was worried about Li Xiaomei being alone, so he took Li Xiaomei with him. Ning Jing and Li Xiaomei walked together, and Boss Ning wanted to carry Ning Jing on his back.
How could Ning Jing be willing? She was the youngest that time, but now there was a girl named Li Xiaomei who was the same age as her, and looked even younger than her. Li Xiaomei could walk by herself, so how could she let him carry her?
Ningjing shook her head and clenched her fists to indicate that she could do it.
Among their three baskets, two baskets contained 40 kilograms of meat, and one contained 30 kilograms of meat, totaling 110 kilograms. Although they had agreed with Aunt Li to get 200 kilograms of meat, they could not take it for the time being, so they could only send these first.
Ning Lao Da and Ning Xiao Er were carrying 40 kilograms of meat. Ning Xiao San and Li Dachuan agreed that they would take turns carrying it.
Ning Jing and Li Xiaomei held hands, and the six little ones set off together under the moonlight.
When they arrived in town, Boss Ning asked Ning Xiaoer, Ning Xiaosan, Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei to look after the meat, and then he and Ning Jing went to find Aunt Li.
Originally, Boss Ning wanted to go alone, but Ning Jing disagreed and acted like a spoiled child.
In this cheating situation, Boss Ning had no choice but to admit defeat and take Ning Jing with him. Before going, he repeatedly told Ning Jing to be careful and to run away if something seemed wrong.
Ning Jing smiled and said, "Boss Ning, this is an outdated idea. We have already had reform and opening up."
According to Aunt Wang, the scene they saw when they went to the supply and marketing cooperative was not what they saw. However, Aunt Wang did not explain the details of what happened when Boss Ning came.
When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, wow, there were so many people queuing up. What were they going to buy?
