Ning Xiyue walked to the kitchen. There were two bowls of cold sweet potato porridge and a plate of pickled radish slices on the table.
"Second brother, you got up too early. The meal is already cooked." Ning Xiyue looked at Ning Qingyuan who was feeding the chicks in the chicken coop and said in surprise.
"It's not just me who cooked it. There's more or less another reason why I can have breakfast so early today."
Ning Qingyuan poured the chicken feed into the stone trough, winked and spoke in a low voice with his chin raised towards the kitchen next door.
"What's going on?" Ning Xiyue trotted over to her second brother, lowered her voice, and spoke with interest, guessing the answer: "Could it be that you and Yu Zhiyu did this?"
"That's not the case, sister, you guessed it right."
Ning Qingyuan was surprised for a moment and then continued:
"I was sleeping soundly this morning when Yu Zhiyu from next door suddenly knocked on my door and asked me what to eat the next day after getting drunk. I dozed off immediately and was completely awake."
"Then I remembered that the only two people who were drunk last night were Liu Yao and Chen Yechu. Hehe, I probably knew what Yu Zhiyu was thinking. I didn't even sleep and quickly got up to accompany him to cook breakfast. Come on, let me tell you a big secret I discovered last night."
Ning Qingyuan walked out of the chicken coop and pulled Ning Xiyue into the house.
Ning Xiyue tilted her head with a smile in her eyes and looked towards the kitchen next door.
I really didn't expect Yu Zhiyu to be so proactive. He handed in the briefing last night, and this morning he took the initiative to cook stomach-nourishing porridge. He is quite proactive and considerate.
Ning Xiyue is now a little curious about the situation next door. There is no rush. After today, perhaps we will see the result of their situation.
"Little sister, please sit down. I'll bring up the steamed eggs and steamed buns."
Ning Qingyuan took out two bowls of steamed eggs from the pot, one for each of the two siblings.
There are also two big steamed buns per person.
"These are steamed with the duck eggs we picked up yesterday. The steamed buns are made with the dough that rose while we were cooking last night. We made them this morning and steamed them. Eat them while they're hot."
"Wow, you guys made quite a feast."
Ning Xiyue picked up the bowl and took a sip of porridge. "Hmm, the temperature of the sweet potato porridge is just right, not too cold or too hot. By the way, second brother, what big secret do you want to tell me?"
"Last night, last night I saw Yu Zhiyu tell Chen Yechu that he liked her." Ning Qingyuan looked outside the door, leaned over mysteriously and whispered.
"Is that the secret?" Ning Xiyue calmly scooped a spoonful of egg custard and ate it.
She thought it was some big secret, but she didn't expect it to be this. However, her brother also saw it last night, which surprised her more than the secret itself.
"Aren't you surprised? Little sister, you knew?" Ning Qingyuan's expression froze. How could this be different from the reaction he expected?
Ning Xiyue took another bite of her steamed bun and smiled mysteriously, "I was also there last night. I heard and saw everything. There's nothing in this Youth Hostel that I don't know. I can see everything clearly."
Ning Qingyuan widened his eyes: "..."
I never expected this!
Ning Xiyue was very happy after scaring her second brother, and picked up the steamed bun and continued eating.
"Hurry up and eat. You have to go to the coal mine team to officially start work today. You should see some changes in their relationship when you get back from work today."
"Well, I admire you. I finally understand why you are so successful in the Daliu team. You can see everything clearly."
He also personally thought that his sister had become more cunning than the holes in a hornet's nest after going to the countryside, which was a good thing because she wouldn't be bullied.
Ning Qingyuan was drinking porridge when he thought of something and looked up and said:
"Oh, sister, the people working in our coal mine team eat in the team's canteen. We get special meal tickets every month, one ticket per person, and you can eat with the ticket. Go to the accountant at the beginning of each month to get it. You don't have to cook for lunch. How about I go get the ticket today and then take you to the canteen for dinner?"
"Okay, today is the first lunch the cafeteria opens, so it's a good idea to give it a try. I'm sure there will be a lot of people joining in the fun today."
Ning Xiyue had this idea a long time ago. She had to go to the cafeteria to find out if she could get ready-made meals there in the future.
"Well, it's settled. I'll wait for you in the cafeteria at noon. Come and eat. There's more in the pot."
…
After breakfast, Ning Xiyue mixed a cup of brown sugar water and added a drop of mango sago water, then gave it to Liu Yao to drink and went out to work with her.
Starting today, the members of the team have started their busy work for the new year. Except for those working in the coal mining team, everyone else, young and old, is busy with spring plowing in the fields.
Today is the first day of work. Ning Xiyue only works on the slope in the morning and returns to the clinic in the afternoon, so the team leader assigned her a simple task.
Weeding the land for planting spring wheat.
Ning Xiyue’s task is to weed.
She is still in the same group with the aunts she used to work with.
Aunt Yang Liu, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Qian and other people who are most familiar to me go to work together.
Working with them is a constant joy and never boring.
We were pulling weeds and chatting at the same time.
As they chatted, they talked about the two aunts who were absent from the gossip group, Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhao moved to another place with the basket filled with grass. She kept pulling the grass with her hands and talking a lot.
"Today, the big canteen in our team opened. Lao Liu and Lao Zhang are still the chefs there. I really want to go and see what the canteen has become. They are both good at cooking."
At this point, Ning Xiyue had something to say and told everyone the news she heard from her second brother this morning.
"I heard that you need a ticket to eat in that cafeteria. You can't eat without a ticket. The number of meal tickets each person can get is fixed, and only people who work there can get tickets."
