Ning Xiyue laughed and teased: "Mom, do you want your daughter to get married sooner or later?"
"Seriously, don't smile at me. I, your mother, feel very uncomfortable. When I think about my daughter getting married, I feel uncomfortable. And you are still smiling so happily. You little heartless person." Yun Xiulan glared at her with a bit of hatred.
Why are you getting anxious while talking?
Ning Xiyue was about to die of laughter at her mother's laughter. She laughed loudly and without exaggeration. She restrained her laughter under Yunmu's glaring gaze, but the smile on her face was still bright:
"My dear mother, you are unreasonable. It was you who brought it up. I didn't say I wanted to get married now, and you still blame me!"
Yunmu glanced and glared, but before she could say anything, Ning Xiyue immediately straightened her attitude, held her hand and said warmly:
"Relax, your daughter won't get married so soon, and she'll still have to rely on you for four years. We've just started our studies, and this is the most important starting point in our lives. We should focus on our studies and put marriage off until later. There's no rush."
Hearing this, Yun Xiulan didn't smile. Instead, she asked more seriously, "Is it your idea, or Xiaoji's idea?"
His eyes were sharp and his face was serious, so Ning Xiyue suspected that she was the one being interrogated for committing a serious crime.
She swallowed and looked at Yun Xiulan cautiously, then tentatively replied, "My thoughts."
Yun Xiulan's expression softened immediately, and her tone became even softer, "Okay then."
Ning Xiyue saw the change in her mother and understood the reason. So, Ning Xiyue asked with a smile: "Mom, if I say it was A Yan's idea, would you have to go and fight him?"
"Isn't this because I'm worried that he's keeping you hanging and that you'll be deceived again? If that's what he's thinking, I'll definitely go and ask him."
But when she knew it was her daughter's idea, she was no longer worried. There was nothing she could do about it. Her daughter was the most important to her. Everyone has their own preferences for closeness and distance, so they protect their own children.
"But Xiao Ji is a good kid. Mom is just overly worried. He looks honest and reliable. If you don't want to get married now, you should discuss it with Xiao Ji to avoid any conflicts. If that doesn't work, Mom will talk to him for you."
Ning Xiyue thought happily that her mother was quite hypocritical. Her ideas were acceptable, but Ji Yanming's ideas were not. Well, she liked it.
Then Ning Xiyue patted Yun Xiulan's hand and said sincerely:
"Mom, don't worry about it. This is something we've already discussed. He agreed and has explained it to his family. We're both still young, so we'll have plenty of time. We know what to do at our respective ages. We won't be getting married for at least the next year. We'll see how things go later."
"That's good. I'm relieved now. Go prepare the gifts for your visit. I'll go see how your brother is cooking lunch."
Yun Xiulan relaxed, stood up and trotted to the kitchen.
Ning Xiyue smiled and shook her head, walked towards the room where the dry goods were stored, took a large sack, stood in front of the dry goods and started to pick.
I’ll give you a bag of hazelnuts, a bag of dried black fungus, a bag of dried matsutake mushrooms, a bag of dried morels, and a piece of dried ginseng.
Then she asked for a three-piece skin care product set that she had made herself and had traded with her eldest sister-in-law's mother, and a jar of the medicated mud mask that her second brother had used before.
As for the gift for my uncle, it was a bottle of homemade sorghum wine.
If it’s a little insufficient, I’ll order another can of homemade tea leaves.
Ning Xiyue's consciousness entered the space and directed 001 in the space to pick the tender leaves of Yunwu tea from a wild tea tree that had been dug up in the mountains.
This tea tree was probably grown by birds in the mountains that ate tea seeds. She found a small tea sapling when she followed Chen Yechu to the mountains to look for ice powder seeds in the summer.
She immediately dug it up and planted it in the space. She tried making milk tea with it once and it tasted very good, more fragrant than the tea made in milk tea shops in later generations. Paired with fresh milk from the milk station, the taste was unforgettable.
It was originally a small seedling as tall as a calf, but now it has grown into a tall tea tree in her space with lush branches and leaves. There are also some small tea trees growing around it, and a lot of high-quality tea can be harvested.
Just a moment later, 001 came over with a large basket of tea.
"Master, I have already picked 20 kilograms of tender buds, which can be used to make 2 kilograms of tea. Do you need to pick more?"
"No need to pick it, just give it to me."
Ning Xiyue took the tender buds and smelled them. They had a very refreshing smell.
Next is to fry the tea leaves.
Of course she didn't stir-fry the tea. There was no Yun Food Processing Factory at the time, so she had to stir-fry the tea herself, which resulted in a lot of tea being burnt. Fortunately, it was for making milk tea, so the quality of the tea didn't matter.
But it’s different when giving gifts to elders now. This kind of work requires superb tea-frying skills so as not to waste these top-quality young buds. It’s better to leave it to professionals.
Ning Xiyue directly spent ten points to send the tea to the Yun Food Processing Factory for processing. Tea is also an imported product and can barely be considered a food and can be processed and fried.
In five minutes, Ning Xiyue received the freshly brewed tea leaves, which were packed in iron cans and divided into two cans, each weighing one kilogram.
Ning Xiyue took out both cans of tea, put one into the sack, and went out with the other in her hand.
Seeing my father digging in the yard with the hoe that my eldest brother had just bought, I shouted, "Dad, I found a can of tea, wild tea from the mountains. I put it on the table for you."
"Okay, leave it there. I'll make some tea."
When Ning Hai heard about the wild tea leaves, his eyes lit up. He put down the hoe and prepared to wash his hands and make tea.
When Ning Xiyue saw her father happy, she also smiled happily.
Carrying a snakeskin bag, he went to the side to do some simple packing.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Wrap everything in some oil paper and tie a red string, and it will look presentable and upscale, making it a perfect New Year gift.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Yanming came in the car driven by Datou to pick up Ning Xiyue and her two siblings to move their luggage.
Of course, the main people who moved the luggage were the eldest and second brothers. Ning Xiyue’s main task was to meet her parents with a bunch of gifts in her arms, feeling nervous.
It was the first time for her to meet her parents, and she was a little nervous. Looking at the road outside the window, she felt a little excited.
