An Ye was stunned for a moment, and when she understood what was going on, she teased her deliberately: "Did it work? Look at the purple marks, the battle must have been intense last night."
"What..." Ning Jia wanted to cry but had no tears. Thinking about what happened last night, it was really not a pleasant thing. "Don't mention it. It's too painful! I can understand your pain. How about a divorce?"
Li Yao came into the room to get something. As soon as he stepped in, he heard her say that she wanted a divorce, and his footsteps paused for a moment.
"Divorcing because of what happened last night? Be careful that Li Yao hears and gets mad at you."
"He's cooking and can't hear me."
"This is no joke. If you want a divorce, then really get a divorce. If you don't want a divorce, then don't keep saying it all the time." An Ye reminded.
"Oh, I see."
Li Yao didn't go into the house in the end. He turned around and went back to the kitchen.
When he sat by the stove and made a fire, he kept thinking about one thing in his mind - when did Ning Jia start thinking about divorce?
Just got married?
Or last night...
Whether it's true or false, it's really not good to say this.
Li Yao was busy in the kitchen for a long time and brought breakfast into the house. An Ye had already left, leaving only the couple eating breakfast around the table.
"It's not a good choice right now. There's nothing to eat at home. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to get through this winter." Li Yao said while chewing on a piece of bread. "Tomorrow I plan to go to the town to see if there is any grain to sell. I'll buy some to get through this winter."
Ning Jia sat on a stool, rubbing his waist from time to time: "If it weren't for this critical moment, the old lady would definitely not want to leave the house. It's fine if it's gone, we can buy things slowly. If the town doesn't work, we can go to the county. If it's really not possible, we can buy tickets with money, and we can always exchange them for food."
Li Yao felt that what his wife said made sense: "Okay, since there isn't much going on in the brigade recently, I'll find two days to go with my fifth brother."
Ning Jia nodded.
Seeing her rubbing her waist and moving her body on the stool, Li Yao remembered what Ning Jia had said earlier about "divorce".
"Uncomfortable?" he asked.
Ning Jia blushed and nodded: "Yeah."
Li Yao thought of how she cried and begged for mercy last night, and felt a little guilty.
She was really too thin, like a willow branch, and it seemed that the slightest bend would break her whole body.
"I'm sorry, I was too impatient..." He is a normal young man, and when he meets someone he likes, he can't help himself.
Ning Jia's face turned even redder, and she raised her hand to cover his mouth, stopping him from continuing: "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Li Yao smiled and said, "Okay."
"Is this breakfast or lunch you are having? It's too late for breakfast, and a bit too early for lunch." The production team leader came into the room with a smile on his face.
"The captain is here." Li Yao put down his chopsticks and stood up. "It's cold outside. Come and warm up by the fire."
The captain waved his hand and said, "No need to sit down. I'll just say a few words and leave. Wang Zhuzi from Team 1 came over early this morning and said that he found traces of wild boars in the mountains last night. I was thinking that since the New Year is coming soon, we should go hunt wild boars and catch some so that everyone can have more meat for the New Year."
Li Yao readily agreed: "What, when will we go?"
The captain said, "You left after eating. You may not come back for a day or two after entering the mountains."
"Okay, I'll go to the brigade to gather after dinner."
"Okay, you eat while I go find some people. Oh, call your old man too, he's a smart guy."
As soon as the captain left, Ning Jia asked worriedly: "The temperature in the mountains is so low, how are you going to survive for a day or two? You went into the mountains in such a hurry, and I didn't even prepare any food for you."
"Don't worry, we're all going together, not just me. We'll have a way when the time comes." Li Yao comforted.
"How can that be? You eat first, and I'll go prepare it for you."
Ning Jia put down her bowl and was about to leave, but Li Yao grabbed her hand and said, "Jia Jia, don't worry about me so much."
Ning Jia's cheeks flushed as she whispered, "You are my man, and I love my man. Eat quickly, I'll go inform the fifth brother."
By the time Li Yao finished breakfast and washed the dishes, Ning Jia had already prepared everything.
She cooked a few eggs and gave him the peach biscuits she had bought earlier: "Fifth Brother has prepared some dry food. You can share this with me! It will last you for two days."
"Okay, got it. I'll pack up and get ready to go!"
"Wait." Ning Jia took out the cotton-padded clothes that Bai Jinfeng had helped to make yesterday from the chest, "Put on the clothes. It's cold in the mountains. Don't let yourself get frozen."
Li Yao looked at the brand new clothes and was reluctant to throw them away: "It would be bad if they got damaged. Let's put them at home first."
"Is it dangerous to catch wild boars?" Ning Jia suddenly remembered this.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"Well then...be careful, I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Okay." Li Yao put the things into a cloth bag and tied it around his waist, "Then I'm leaving."
Ning Jia stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his cheek: "Go~"
The wild boar catching teams were gathered in the brigade. They were all composed of young and strong people. There were about a dozen people in a team, some carrying forks and some carrying axes.
When the villagers heard that the village had sent out a "pig catching team" to go into the mountains to catch wild boars, they all ran out of their homes to watch the fun.
"Sixth Aunt, I also want to watch the pig-catching team catch pigs." Zhaodi poked her little head out of the door and spoke to Ning Jia, who was sitting on the kang and doing the accounting.
Ning Jia was just thinking about how to complete the order given by Chu Songbai. When she heard Zhaodi calling her, she smiled and said, "Sixth Aunt is a little busy right now. How about letting mom take you to see her?"
Zhaodi replied crisply: "Mom went to help Aunt Wu make cotton clothes. Aunt Wu is so stupid that her fingers were pricked by needles several times..."
Ning Jia could completely imagine that scene and couldn't help laughing: "Well, then Sixth Aunt will take you to join in the fun."
Ning Jia held Zhaodi's hand and came to the entrance of the brigade to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, there were so many people coming.
Zhaodi saw the little girl with pigtails in the crowd and immediately broke free from Ning Jia's hand: "I saw Liu Xiaoqin, I want to go play with her."
"Don't run too far." Ning Jia reminded them.
She saw a group of people standing together and chatting. She glanced and saw that Widow Chen was among them. She remembered the order in her hand and felt it necessary to find Widow Chen to communicate with her.
When she approached, she heard a group of people chatting animatedly.
"I heard from Wang Zhuzi that the wild boar was very big, probably weighing about 300 kilograms."
"I heard there are wild pheasants. If we catch them, every family can have more meat to eat next year."
"Hurry up and grab it. We look forward to having a good meal of meat at the end of the year."
"Isn't it easy to catch this wild boar?" Ning Jia interrupted and asked, "Has the village ever caught a wild boar before?"
Widow Chen saw that it was Ning Jia who came, so she changed her position and stood beside her: "We caught them once, don't worry, the ones who will go this time are all young and strong men in our village, and they have plenty of courage and strength."
"That's good."
Widow Chen joked, "Why, are you worried about your family member?"
Ning Jia pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, is there no one in this team that you, Sister Chen, care about?"
Widow Chen blushed and hurriedly dragged her away: "Come, sister-in-law has something to ask you."
Ning Jia smiled: "Sister-in-law, you say."
"I have saved up some eggs again. Do you want some more?" asked Widow Chen.
"Yes, of course! But this time it's not as good as last time. The eggs are still sold at the original price, but there is no candy to take."
"That's fine, as long as it can be sold for money."
"Sister-in-law, I have some work on hand. I wonder if you would like to join in?" Ning Jia asked tentatively.
At this time, the "pig catching team" was preparing to leave, and the yard was in a commotion.
Ning Jia glanced over there and saw the team leader, Li Yao and others, following him, carrying tools and leaving the team compound, heading into the mountains.
Widow Chen also glanced at the crowd, and Qin Niu, who was walking with his head down, seemed to have sensed something and also looked over here.
Widow Chen quickly retracted her gaze and asked Ning Jia in a low voice: "What other work do you have? Tell me everything. I need money. As long as there is work that can make money, I will do it!"
"It's like this..." Ning Jiagang leaned close to Widow Chen's ear and was about to speak.
Suddenly, Mrs. Xu's urgent voice exploded in her ears: "Old Fifth Wife, are you blind? How do you take care of a child?!"
