Chapter 17: Hitting the Wall (2/2)



"Lin Zhiqing, I want to talk to Ningning alone!"

"Hey, I won't bother you anymore." Lin Qiqi gave them a meaningful look, then jumped and skipped away from the educated youth site.

Han Jinghuai raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said cautiously:

"Ningning, I came to you to ask if you want wild boar meat!"

"I killed two wild boars today, and the captain left me some pork. I can't finish it all by myself. Do you want to take a piece?"

Xu Wanning immediately asked worriedly, "No way! Wild boars are so dangerous! Han Jinghuai, are you hurt?"

Han Jinghuai's eyes softened: "It's okay, I'm fine!!"

Xu Wanning smiled shyly, "I won't take any pork. The village should give some to the educated youth. You know I live here with everyone else, so I can't eat much if I bring it back. I'll basically give it away to others."

"Han Jinghuai, how about this, I'll go to your place to eat later!"

"And bring some back for Qiqi when you come back."

Han Jinghuai curled his lips unconsciously: "Hey!"

In the afternoon, Xu Wanning and Lin Qiqi followed Aunt Wang up the mountain to collect grass for pigs.

Lin Qiqi muttered softly, "Ningning, I heard Sister Xiaomei won't be back tonight. Liu Yue hasn't woken up yet, and Sister Xiaomei has to stay in the hospital with her. Sister Xiaomei, how pitiful!"

"That scoundrel Liu Yue is such a troublemaker!"

Xu Wanning smiled faintly: "Come on, don't think too much. I'm going to Han Jinghuai's house to make braised pork tonight. I'll bring you a bowl when I come back!"

When Lin Qiqi heard that there was meat to eat, she immediately became ecstatic and cheered:

"Really? That's too much! We have braised pork for dinner!"

Xu Wanning looked helpless: "Shh, Qiqi, keep your voice down, don't let others hear, otherwise you won't have any braised pork to eat!"

Lin Qiqi nodded obediently: "Oh, then I'll keep my voice down."

Xu Wanning was worried and warned her, "Qiqi, if anyone asks me where I went, just tell them I went to the captain's house."

"Ningning, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you." Lin Qiqi was so happy that she almost flew up, hugging Xu Wanning's arm and acting coquettishly: "Ningning, I'm lucky to have you. I heard that the educated youth center also has some wild boar meat, but there are so many people there, I guess I can only taste it."

Xu Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she teased him, "Then don't eat too much at dinner time. Remember to save some room for meat!"

After sunset in the evening, Xu Wanning took a small path to Han Jinghuai's house. When she opened the gate, she saw Han Jinghuai chopping firewood.

Han Jinghuai's handsome face showed a wicked smile, and he curled his lips to tease her:

"Hey, my little girl is here. What would you like to eat tonight?"

Xu Wanning glanced at him and said, "Han Jinghuai, can't you speak politely?"

Han Jinghuai curled his lips: "Little Ancestor, what's wrong with me?"

Xu Wanning said helplessly: "I have a name, my name is Xu Wanning..."

Han Jinghuai said with a doting look: "I know!"

Xu Wanning's face was filled with black lines. This guy is just a gangster.

Han Jinghuai was very tactful. He turned around and went into the house to take out a large piece of pork belly and handed it to her, which weighed about three pounds.

"Girl, aren't you going to make braised pork? Do you think this piece of pork belly is good?"

Xu Wanning's eyes lit up: "Ah!"

"Han Jinghuai, do you have rock sugar at home?"

Han Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I have some star anise and cinnamon here. Do you want some?"

Xu Wanning was in high spirits: "That's too much! Star anise and cinnamon are perfect for making braised pork! Han Jinghuai, how come you have this at home?"

Han Jinghuai smiled and touched her head, explaining gently:

"Silly girl, have you forgotten that my ancestors were royal chefs?"
