Song Xiuyan didn't know that grandma had such a good thing hidden: "You should keep it. It's not easy to keep this thing."
Grandma Song said with some pride: "Of course, this is what my ancestors gave me, and I wanted to keep her as your wife. So take it, and don't let your cousins know, or they will say I am biased."
Song Xiuyan laughed: "Grandma, I have to say, you are biased."
Grandma Song narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Who lets us, San'er, spend the most time with grandma? Over the years, you are the only one who remembers grandma the most. No matter where you go, you will bring gifts for grandma. What a good child."
How come no one likes it?
After Song Xiuyan left, Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan also took time to buy New Year's goods. Nowadays, buying New Year's goods starts as soon as the twelfth lunar month begins.
After soaking the Laba garlic, we start buying meat. If we are well-off, we can kill a pig, which is enough for the entire twelfth lunar month and the New Year.
Those who were not well off also began to prepare various foods.
Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan bought half a pig because their company would give them out. Zhou Shuanglu and Zhou Nanguang sent a lot of gifts for the New Year.
Mu Xiaowan put half a pig on the back seat of the car, and Sheng Anning pushed it from behind. When the two came out of the slaughterhouse, Sheng Anning sighed: "It's all thanks to you knowing someone. It's hard to buy pork without it."
The market supply is still limited. If you want to buy meat in the twelfth lunar month, you have to queue up early in the morning to buy it.
Not to mention buying half a fan, it's impossible to get one.
Mu Xiaowan patted the pork happily and said, "It looks good. I'll shave off the bones and stew it all. I'll stew it into braised pork and put it in a jar. When I want to eat it, I'll scoop out a bowl. It's delicious when it's hot."
Thinking of the braised pork that was just heated up, which was soft, delicious, fatty but not greasy, Mu Xiaowan couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Suddenly, she exclaimed, and called out to Sheng An Ning: "An Ning, isn't that Sun Xuemei?"
Sheng An Ning followed Mu Xiaowan's line of sight and saw Sun Xuemei and a medium-sized but energetic young man standing in front of the Spring Festival couplets.
Although it is still early to buy Spring Festival couplets now, some stalls have already started selling them and New Year pictures.
Looking at the movements of the two, they seem quite familiar.
Mu Xiaowan was curious: "Who is that next to Xuemei?"
Sheng An Ning actually knew him. He was an officer recovering in the hospital. "I think his name is Xie Weidong. He was injured during a field performance and came here to recover."
Mu Xiaowan exclaimed: "Isn't this a solved case? It was said before that Sun Xuemei was in love, and now it seems that she is dating this guy, who looks pretty good."
Sheng An Ning didn't expect that Sun Xuemei was dating this person: "They do look like a good match. Let's go. Let's not disturb them, so as not to embarrass Sun Xuemei."
Sheng Anning thought it would be great if she could have a relationship with Xie Weidong. If it worked out, Sun Xuemei could follow the army in the future.
Moreover, it seems that their hometowns are in the same place, so it will be convenient for them to go home and visit relatives in the future.
Sun Xuemei actually saw Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan, but she was too embarrassed to turn around and say hello. She and Xie Weidong are not in a relationship yet, they just have a good impression of each other.
When Xie Weidong asked her out shopping, she hesitated for a long time. In the end, she said that he wanted to thank her for taking care of her during this period, and that they were from the same hometown, so having a meal together was reasonable.
Sun Xuemei had no way of refusing, and she couldn't help but pick a brightly colored scarf to wear before going out.
Xie Weidong didn't dare to look back when he saw Sun Xuemei. He glanced at them and saw that they were Sheng Anning and Mu Xiaowan. He felt helpless and said, "Am I so shameless? Comrade Sun Xuemei, I think I should correct your thinking."
Sun Xuemei was a little embarrassed: "No, I just don't want them to misunderstand our relationship."
Xie Weidong didn't think so: "Why is there a misunderstanding? What is our relationship?"
Sun Xuemei stuttered: "Friends...friends."
Although she also had a crush on Xie Weidong, she had never been in a relationship before, and she didn't know how to have a relationship, let alone how to get along with someone.
When being questioned by Xie Weidong, he couldn't help feeling nervous and flustered.
Xie Weidong was even more helpless: "Sun Xuemei, after such a long time of contact, I think you have some understanding of my character, so I want to develop further with you, is that okay?"
Sun Xuemei didn't expect the confession to come so suddenly. She stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Someone passed by and it was Xie Weidong who pulled her so that she was not hit.
Xie Weidong was not in a hurry. He pulled her to a deserted place on the side of the road and watched her fair face slowly turn red.
Sun Xuemei is not pretty, but she is very pretty, with a soft, calm and elegant demeanor that makes people feel comfortable.
Although she is not as smart and pretty as Sheng Anning, nor as bright and heroic as Mu Xiaowan, Xie Weidong still likes Sun Xuemei. Such a woman is more suitable for him and is suitable for family life.
Sun Xuemei felt a little uncomfortable and turned her face away: "Why did you suddenly say this? Let's go back quickly. I have to take over at 4 pm."
Xie Weidong stopped her and refused to leave: "Xuemei, we are from the same hometown. I also came from the countryside. I want to start a family with you. It doesn't matter if you haven't graduated yet. I can wait for you. If you are assigned back to your hometown in the future, I will try to let you join the army."
Sun Xuemei's mouth was dry and she didn't even know how to refuse. Maybe she didn't want to refuse deep down in her heart: "Let me go back and think about it."
Xie Weidong smiled: "Okay."
…
Sheng An Ning and Mu Xiao Wan carried half a pig back, which shocked Zhou Hongyun. "Oh my God, I was wondering what you two were doing this morning. You went out to do something important. How come you brought back so much? Your grandfather and father will give out pork and mutton, and we won't be able to finish them at home."
Sheng Anning smiled and said, "I think this piece is good. Let's take it out and stew it directly. Then put it in the vat in the yard. When we eat, we can heat up a bowl. It's convenient and delicious. The meat my dad and his family gave us can be used as dumpling fillings."
Zhou Hongyun kept saying, "You don't need that much. Make some bacon and eat it slowly."
An An saw the big piece of pork and clapped her hands happily: "Mom, eat the meat. An An wants to eat the big bones."
Sheng An Ning pinched her little nose: "Little greedy cat, you only know how to eat meat, let me see if you have gained weight again."
An An giggled, with small fleshy pits on her chubby hands: "I want to eat meat, I want to eat buns, and I want to gnaw on bones."
Zhou Hongyun smiled and said, "Our An An has gained a lot of weight in the winter. She is as white and plump as a little baby in a New Year picture."
Sheng An Ning had no choice. An An had a good appetite and absorbed food well. The only thing to be thankful for was that she had a small frame, and when she gained weight, it was round and delicate, so she didn't look particularly fat.
The little face is also round and milky white. Just looking at it makes you want to take a bite.
