Chapter 175 Preparing for the Capital
After a little incident, everyone started harvesting wheat with great effort!
After all, it is not a good idea to delay the autumn harvest, as this is the villagers' food supply for this winter!
There is no room for any mistakes!
Su Xiaomei went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant!
The doctor told her to stay home to take care of the disease, and she had no choice but to stay at home and not go to bed!
The captain understood this and allowed her to stay at home to take care of the baby first!
............................
Half a month later, the autumn harvest was over!
Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief!
The village has started to organize young and strong men to go hunting in the mountains again!
The women worked together to dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, etc. near the foot of the mountain!
Xu Wanning, Lin Qiqi, and Wenjing did not go up the mountain to join in the fun!
When they were young, they often went up the mountain to collect grass for pigs, but after a long time, they found it boring!
Besides, they have grown a lot of vegetables in the yard, which is more than enough for food. There is no need to dig wild vegetables or pick mushrooms!
Xu Wanning was thinking about taking a leave to go to Haicheng, and then go to Beijing!
It is now the autumn of December 1977, and the college entrance examination will be resumed in about two months!
By then, there will definitely be a lot of college students renting houses in big cities!
There are even people from wealthy families who buy houses in the city where the university is located!
She must buy a few courtyard houses in advance to stock up, otherwise by the time she goes to college, the courtyard houses in her location will definitely increase in price or will be bought up!
Then she would have suffered a great loss!
She did it right away and made herself some meat patties with pickled mustard greens. She made the pickled mustard greens in her space when she was bored!
I also made some spicy chicken, clay pot rice, pork dumplings and other snacks, and put them all in the space to keep them fresh!
Take these foods with you and eat them on the road!
Not only are the meals on the train expensive, they also don’t taste as good as the ones she cooks herself!
.......................
After finishing her work, Xu Wanning took some food prepared for lunch and went to the captain's house!
As soon as the door opened, the captain's wife Meiyun pulled her into the house!
"Come, Ningning, come into the house and sit with your aunt!"
"Why did you bring food again? Didn't I tell you to treat my house as your own? No need to be so polite!"
Xu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled. Uncle Chen's family was not rich to begin with, so he would always send her a portion of whatever food he cooked!
The whole family takes good care of her. How could she enter the house empty-handed?
"Auntie, I don't treat you as a stranger. I didn't bring anything with me, just some homemade food for the children to try!"
"I just made some preserved vegetable meat patties and some steamed pork dumplings today. How do you like them?"
Although she said that Meiyun had never heard of these foods before, she knew that the food cooked by Ningning must taste good!
"I know it's delicious without even tasting it. Stop thinking about me and your uncle all the time, girl!"
"Your uncle and I can still work now. Even if we get too old and can't work anymore, we still have two sons. They have to give us food no matter what!"
Next to her, Wang Xiaoping, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, came forward with a smile, holding the child and said:
"Mom, don't worry, Weiguo and I will definitely take care of you and Dad in your old age!"
"Xu Zhiqing, if you have food to eat, keep it for yourself and stop thinking about my children!"
When Xiao Meiyun heard what her daughter-in-law said, her face lit up with joy. Her eldest daughter-in-law was really sensible!
It's a pity that my daughter-in-law is timid and afraid of trouble, otherwise she could be the wife to divide the family property between my two sons!
"Ningning, your sister-in-law Xiaoping is right. If you have something to eat, keep it for yourself later!"
