Ning Xiyue picked up a kitchen knife and gestured at the meat on the table: "Come on, we can't let Aunt Huaihua down, let's each get half."
After two gestures, Ning Xiyue cut towards the middle, dividing it into two pieces of the same size, and then wrapped the meat with the waste newspaper that Aunt Huaihua used to wrap the meat.
Ning Qingyuan also wrapped his piece of meat in waste newspaper. Holding the meat in his hand, he kept sighing about the simplicity of the villagers. He felt bad about taking the meat for free.
"It's okay, let's take it. If we don't take it, their family will feel uneasy and always feel like they owe us. It's better to take it now, and we can feel at ease."
Ning Xiyue was quite open-minded. She knew that Uncle An Guo's family didn't like to owe others anything, so she accepted the things after refusing a few times.
But Uncle Anguo's family was really welcoming. They even packed a piece of raw bacon for her. They were really considerate.
There is a reason why he can become the team's accountant and is deeply loved by everyone on the team.
He has a good character.
This family is someone you can keep in contact with for a long time, and they are not the kind of people who would be ungrateful.
"I feel relieved to see that my sister gets along well with the other members of the team."
Ning Qingyuan looked at the sky outside, then looked at the time on his watch, stood up and hung his luggage on the bicycle.
"Sister, it's getting late. I'll go back first. We'll see each other tomorrow. You just need to carry a bucket for the fish. I'll take the other tools."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Ning Xiyue handed over the flashlight from the cupboard, "Brother, hold the flashlight and drive slowly."
"Okay, it's cold outside so don't send me off. You're exhausted after a long day. Boil some hot water, soak your feet, and go to bed."
Ning Qingyuan gave instructions while taking a wire from the car and fixing the flashlight on the handlebar of the bicycle. He waved and pushed the bicycle out: "I'm leaving."
Ning Xiyue really didn't see him off. She stood at the kitchen door and looked at her second brother's back until he could no longer see her off. Then she turned around and went back to the kitchen to boil water for washing her feet.
After bringing the foot washing water back to the house, Chen Yechu also soaked his feet there. While soaking their feet, the two of them discussed going fishing at the river tomorrow.
After washing his feet, Chen Yechu rarely stopped reading. Instead, he sat on the kang and reminded Ning Xiyue:
"Let's go to bed early today and get up early tomorrow to reserve a spot. Ever since Zhang Jianguo broke the ice and caught some big fish a few days ago, many people on the team have gone there to fish. If we go too late, there won't be any spots left for us to fish, so we have to get up early."
"Okay, let's go to bed now and try to catch some big fish tomorrow."
Ning Xiyue was very interested and decided to go to the river tomorrow to experience winter fishing.
After she poured out the water for washing her feet, she climbed onto the kang, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Forget about reading and studying. You can study at any time, but you will realize that fun is not always available.
I don’t know if it was because she was too tired, but Ning Xiyue fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. She fell asleep in seconds.
The next morning, Ning Xiyue woke up early and was still a little dazed when she looked at the top of her patchwork mosquito net.
She actually had a dream all night last night.
In her dream, there was also Comrade Ji. Sometimes he chased her with a few large grass carps, asking her to reply to his letter. Sometimes he caught a basket of fish and confessed his love to her. Sometimes he cooked a fish feast for her. Sometimes, after all the human traffickers were caught, Comrade Ji rewarded her with a cart of fish...
It’s really Shuan Q.
Ning Xiyue grabbed her hair and pulled it into a mess. She felt like laughing. What a weird dream it was. It was a mess, a hammer here and a hammer there. It was all nonsensical.
Very funny.
"Xiyue, are you awake?" Chen Yetu sat on the kang and put on his clothes in a daze, calling Ning Xiyue.
"I'm awake, I'll get up right away."
Ning Xiyue rolled around in the bed several times until she was fully awake before she started to get dressed.
At this moment, Liu Yao's excited voice could be heard outside the door, "Xiyue, Yechu, get up now. I'm going to dig some earthworms first. You guys take your time."
"good."
Ning Xiyue hurried to put on her clothes. The sister outside was so excited that she started digging for earthworms. It was obvious how much she was looking forward to this fishing trip.
She dreamed all night, and there were always fish in her dreams. No matter what the plot was, there must be fish in it.
What does this mean? It means that she will catch a lot of fish. If she doesn’t bring back any fish today, she will feel sorry for the dream she had last night.
Family members, who can understand that the fish has been running in her mind all night. Now, whether she opens her eyes or closes them, she sees the image of fish, and everything she sees looks like a fish.
…
After breakfast, all the educated youth in the Youth League picked up the fishing gear they had made yesterday and carried a small stool as they walked towards the river outside the brigade.
Everyone had a smile of anticipation on their face, looking forward to catching fish.
Ning Xiyue happily followed them, carrying two small stools and two fish baskets she had woven with bamboo strips, heading towards their destination, full of hope for today's journey.
The big fish is coming!
