"Comrade Guifang, don't be anxious. These are things that will happen sooner or later. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Let's take it slowly." Aunt Yang Liu laughed and did not give a direct answer.
"Aunt is right. I was too anxious. It won't hurt to wait a little longer."
Seeing that Aunt Yang Liu was unmoved, Wu Guifang decided not to ask any more questions. She thought that the families of the cadres in the team were all the same and would not tell you the truth. It would be pointless for her to continue asking.
Ning Xiyue patted Wu Guifang's shoulder and comforted her: "Sister Guifang, don't be depressed. Different things happen every day. Maybe good things are just around the corner."
Ning Xiyue could only say so much. Whether or not she could come to her senses was not her business. She didn't want to get involved in these things. It was better for her to just sit back and watch the fun. This was the most comfortable thing for her and what she wanted the most.
"Um."
There is no way to be anxious.
Zhao Jianshe had been keeping an eye on this side, and when he saw that there was no result, he sighed in his heart.
He has been too anxious recently. He has been in the team for so many years and has persisted. It is not a big deal. Why is he being affected by an ambiguous piece of news? He needs to calm down and think carefully.
When the atmosphere cooled down, the captain came over with an empty basket on his shoulder, his face flushed with joy: "Let's go! Back to the team."
The captain harnessed the ox cart, and Aunt Yang Liu called out to Ning Xiyue: "Xiyue, come quickly and sit behind your uncle Dawei. Don't get caught in the dust here."
The captain smiled helplessly. It turned out that in his wife's heart, he was not as important as Yuewa, so she used him as a scapegoat.
"Okay, thank you auntie, thank you Uncle Dawei." Ning Xiyue walked up quickly and sat down. She was still a little embarrassed. Aunt Yang Liu didn't treat her as an outsider at all.
But it feels good to think that the leader is blocking the dust for me.
Apart from Uncle Dawei who was driving the cattle in front, there were only four people sitting in this ox cart: Ning Xiyue, Aunt Yang Liu, Wu Guifang and Zhao Jianshe.
After leaving the town, it was just as Aunt Yang Liu said, with dust flying everywhere.
There were no obstacles on the road. Uncle Dawei was driving the cows in front, running fast. All the dirt and dust on the road were kicked up. When he opened his mouth, it was full of dust. Fortunately, he listened to Aunt Yangliu and put on a headscarf, otherwise he didn't know whether he could breathe through his nose after returning to the team.
Moreover, the country road was very bumpy and swaying. Ning Xiyue held on to the wooden board of the ox cart with one hand and held the backpack firmly with the other hand to prevent the backpack and herself from being shaken off.
Aunt Yang Liu half-closed her eyes to block out the wind and sand, tilted her head and asked Ning Xiyue: "How is it? Are you used to riding in the ox cart?"
Ning Xiyue nodded: "It's a very novel feeling, very interesting."
The captain laughed a few times and said, "It's not far. I'll slow down now. It's quite comfortable to sit and walk slowly. Let you try it."
After the captain finished speaking, he slowed down the pace of herding the cattle and walked more unsteadily.
Not to mention that after the cow slowed down, it felt as comfortable as sitting in a cradle. It could also leisurely watch the clouds rolling in the sky, which was completely different from its embarrassed state when it was running just now.
The captain hummed a tune and asked, "How is it? Isn't it pretty good now?"
"It's so comfortable that I want to sleep. Captain, your cattle-herding skills are amazing. I admire you." Ning Xiyue looked at the captain with admiration.
Aunt Yang Liu praised proudly, "Your uncle's cattle-herding skills are beyond words. He's been practicing since he was a child. There's no one in our team who can herd cattle better than him."
"Captain, that's amazing."
Zhao Jianshe and Wu Guifang also spoke at the appropriate time.
This made the captain very happy, especially because he was very happy to hear his wife praising him. He said quickly: "I will drive slowly for the rest of the journey, so that you can ride comfortably in the ox cart."
This made everyone happy, and no one wanted to be left out.
Ning Xiyue felt relieved, flattery still worked.
Ning Xiyue leisurely returned to the team, picked up the backpack and said goodbye to Aunt Yang Liu and the captain.
Following Wu Guifang and the other two, they walked towards the Youth League compound.
Now that the pot is back, Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu officially part ways. Today's lunch is the first time she has cooked in her small kitchen.
Now comes the joy of being able to eat delicious food and eat alone.
Ning Xiyue closed the kitchen door, placed the large iron pot on the largest stove, and asked the chef to make the stove according to the size of the large iron pot, and it fit perfectly.
Seeing that there were still many things missing in the kitchen, I thought of the kitchen gift pack I won at the supply and marketing cooperative today.
Ning Xiyue opened the kitchen gift package and looked at it. Her eyes widened. What did she see?
The first thing is the antimony pot.
The empty hole on the back stove was filled, and Ning Xiyue placed the antimony pot on the back stove hole.
Now, while cooking in the big iron pot in front, you can also boil the bath water in the antimony pot in the back at the same time, which is much more convenient and saves trouble.
Ning Xiyue took out the second thing, bottles and jars of seasonings, which were already filled with a batch of seasonings.
It includes oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, dried peppercorns, dried chili peppers, and various spices, all packed in glass jars and can be used for a period of time. The various bulk seasonings you bought at home will not be used for the time being and will be saved for later use.
Ning Xiyue placed all the seasonings in the cupboard customized by Carpenter Chen.
If you have a pot, of course you need bowls, chopsticks, spoons, plates, spatulas, colanders and other kitchen utensils.
This is also the last item in the kitchen gift pack.
Of course, the gift package that Tongzi gave was very thoughtful. It contained five sets of bowls and chopsticks, enough for the whole family, so that even when her family came to visit her, they would have bowls and chopsticks to use.
After putting these things in place one by one, and adding the things I had bought from the old carpenter and Aunt Qiuju, the small kitchen was finally not empty anymore, and it looked presentable and felt very presentable.
Her stomach growled, so Ning Xiyue took out some white rice and started cooking.
She could finally eat pure rice.
After the rice was steamed, Ning Xiyue did not cook any dishes. Instead, she took out the braised pork that she had signed for at the state-owned restaurant near her home and ate it.
A piece of steaming braised pork on top of the equally steaming white rice is particularly tempting.
Ning Xiyue squinted her eyes happily and savored the food carefully, taking a bite of meat and a bite of rice.
"Yeah, it's so comfortable."
With this plate of braised pork, Ning Xiyue ate three full bowls of rice before collapsing in her chair in satisfaction.
Ning Xiyue simply studied the last two items of today's sign-in items.
A super gift package for signing in at the Revolutionary Committee at the former landlord’s house.
The mysterious box signed in at the scrap yard.
She is looking forward to the super gift package.
Before opening it, he asked, "Tongzi, how super is it?"
"The kind that hits you."
Ning Xiyue raised her eyebrows and opened the gift package. The naive Ning Xiyue's eyes suddenly turned into golden money symbols, and the things inside blinded her.
How super is the super gift pack? It’s the kind that hits you with gold nuggets.
Fifty small yellow croakers, twenty large yellow croakers, a dressing box full of luxurious gold and silver jewellery, and an antique vase.
"Wow, Tongzi's father is so generous. Please throw more of these things at me."
