Ning Xiyue put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Qingzhi. She didn't feel surprised by the news, as she had guessed it a long time ago.
Although I felt a little reluctant in my heart, there was a calm smile on my face.
"Chinese New Year is not long away, and we can go home and get together when we have time. There will always be a day when the three of us brothers and sisters can get together again, and then we can eat mutton hotpot again."
"My sister is right. I must make another mutton hotpot."
Ning Qingyuan stopped drinking his soup, put the bowl down, and patted his chest with a carefree smile on his face, assuring:
"Don't worry, brother. I'm here and will take good care of my sister. We live close to each other and we both have bicycles, so it's convenient."
Ning Qingzhi's originally calm face also wore a bright smile. He patted his thigh and said, "Okay, it's a deal for the three of us siblings. Next time we get together, we'll have mutton hotpot. If there's a chance, I'll take you hunting on the grasslands. The mutton there is fat and delicious."
Ning Xiyue nodded happily: "Then I'll make a note of it. I haven't been to the prairie yet."
"And me." Ning Qingyuan raised his glass, "Come on, let's have another drink."
The three of them raised their chrysanthemum tea glasses and clinked them simultaneously.
"Eat quickly, don't stop, keep eating the mutton. There's still a lot of meat left at the bottom, and there are so many cabbage leaves in the basket next to it. Eat them quickly."
Ning Qingyuan was eating mutton. Seeing his younger sister and older brother just drinking tea, he urged them to eat meat and scooped a spoonful of meat into each of their bowls with a colander.
"Okay, keep eating."
The two siblings who had put down their chopsticks picked up their chopsticks again and continued to eat the mutton in the pot.
The slight sadness of separation disappeared without a trace, and the three siblings were only thinking about eating jerky and rice.
After dinner, the two brothers helped clean up and let Ning Xiyue sit aside and play by herself, not allowing her to do anything.
Ning Xiyue just happened to be packing some things for Brother Ning.
It was filled with medicines for stopping bleeding and treating various internal and external injuries. It was fully stocked with medicines, and also contained a string of six wolf tooth amulets.
When sending Ning Qingzhi to the foot of the mountain, Ning Xiyue specifically instructed him: "Brother, if you run out of medicine, just write to me and I will send you some more so that you will never lack medicine."
How could she send more medicine directly than by relying on higher-ups to send medicine?
"Okay, I will definitely write you a letter." Ning Qingzhi took the thing and put it away.
Ning Xiyue pointed to another package of medicine and said, "Take the medicine in here to Comrade Ji. He paid me a salary before, but he never came to get the medicine once."
Not far away, Ji Yanming, who had been waiting there for a long time, saw someone coming out and quickly stood up and walked over here.
"Sister, isn't that Comrade Ji?" Ning Qingyuan nudged Ning Xiyue's arm with his elbow and looked at the person walking towards them.
Ning Qingzhi turned around and looked in the direction of his gaze, then waved, "It's Old Ji, sister, just give the medicine to him directly."
"Alright."
Ning Xiyue looked at Comrade Ji who was walking against the light, and guessed in her heart that he must be here to ask for medicine.
When Ji Yanming approached, Ning Xiyue handed him the packet of medicine that was originally intended for their team: "Comrade Ji, this is the medicine for you. It has been prepared for you."
Ji Yanming looked down at the package handed to him and took it naturally: "Okay, thank you, you've worked hard."
Ning Qingzhi walked over, patted Ji Yanming's shoulder, and asked curiously, "Old Ji, why are you here? I invited you to dinner, but you didn't want to come?"
"Something happened before, and now that it's done, I'm here to pick you up and get your medicine." Ji Yanming glanced at him and spoke nonsense seriously.
Ji Yanming didn't want to come. He really wanted to come and have dinner together, but in order not to disturb the three siblings who had finally gathered together to have a farewell meal, he reluctantly refused.
He wasn't there to pick anyone up. He had been squatting nearby for an hour just wanting to take this opportunity to come over and say goodbye in person.
Ji Yanming looked at Ning Xiyue and said with assurance, "Comrade Xiyue, I got the medicine. Thank you again for your medicine. It helped us a lot. Thank you. We will officially evacuate this place tomorrow. If you have any questions about cooperation with your medicine, you can write to me in the future. I was the one who made the connection, and it is my responsibility to help you."
"Okay, thank you. I'll definitely write to you if I have any questions. I also want to thank Comrade Ji for his help several times. I'll treat you to dinner again when I have the chance."
Ning Xiyue politely agreed. Whether to write or not was secondary. As long as the agreement was good, it would be fine. In case anything needed help, it would also be a form of personal connection.
"Okay, Lao Ji, let's go and go back early."
Ning Qingzhi became alert and couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he went over and pulled Ji Yanming out.
While pulling it out, he stuffed an envelope into Ning Xiyue's pocket and waved to her: "Sister, you guys go back. I'm leaving first. I'll write you a letter when I get back."
He always felt that there was something strange about this Old Ji. When would he come to pick him up specially? When would he be so kind to help others? He was a well-known cold-faced and ruthless man in the team. He might be planning to target his sister, so he had to keep a close eye on him.
As Ji Yanming was being dragged away, he turned around and quickly said a goodbye: "Comrade Xiyue, see you later."
"Sister, let's go back." Ning Qingzhi took a few quick steps.
"Okay, bye."
Ning Xiyue waved happily, without any sadness of parting. They were all family, and there would be plenty of time to meet in the future.
Ning Qingyuan waved and said, "Brother, see you during the New Year."
After seeing off Brother Ning, Ning Qingyuan sent Ning Xiyue to the Youth League Home before riding his bicycle to the Dahuai Team.
Ning Xiyue looked at the envelope in her hand. It contained money and bills. This elder brother had given her this month's salary again.
