It was also the first time that Ye Li saw this girl. He thought she was very beautiful, with fair skin and gentle eyes. She stood there quietly like a painting.
"I'm Ye Li, who are you?"
"My name is Fang Ning." The girl answered in a low voice. Seeing so many people in the yard looking at her, she felt a little shy. "My mother asked me to come and thank you."
"Thank me?" Ye Li was a little confused, "I don't seem to know you."
The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "You know Aunt Xue, right?"
Ye Li nodded: "I know Aunt Xue, you...are you Aunt Xue's...?"
"daughter."
Hearing her say this, Ye Li understood instantly.
Some time ago, she helped Aunt Xue once and gave her two pieces of cloth, allowing her to help her daughter solve a problem and keep her job.
...
...
She thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect Aunt Xue to ask her daughter to come and thank her.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Fang Ning smiled, nodded, pointed to the door and said, "My mom is in the back, let me come over and check the door first."
"Aunt Xue is here too?" Ye Li was a little surprised. She took off her apron and hung it at the kitchen door. "Come on, let's go to the door to greet her."
"good."
"This is..." Jiang Xun had been away for a while and didn't know what happened. "What's going on?"
"Nothing, go put your luggage away first. I'll tell you slowly when I get back."
"good."
Ye Li and Fang Ning walked towards the door. Jiang Rui and Jiang Xi both came out of the house and stood in the yard without moving. They all wanted to see what was going on.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, Ye Li saw Aunt Xue coming over with her hands full of things.
She hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Aunt Xue, what are you doing?"
Aunt Xue grinned happily when she saw Ye Li: "Xiao Ye, you really helped me a lot last time and helped my daughter Ning Ning keep her job. I am so grateful to you! Isn't it the New Year? I came to see you and bought you a little something to express my gratitude."
Ye Li looked at the pile of things in her hands and couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, you have a lot of stuff here. You almost moved the entire supply and marketing cooperative here."
Aunt Xue laughed out loud: "How could that be? It's not much! You must accept it, or I will be unhappy!"
After saying that, she stuffed it into Ye Li's hand.
Ye Li was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't help you with anything."
"Why didn't you help? You took such a big risk and got us the cloth. We are so grateful! My Ningning insisted that I come to thank you, so here we are! If you don't accept these things, we will feel so guilty!"
"Yes, just accept it." Fang Ning also persuaded.
"Okay then. But there are too many things. I can't take so many." Seeing so many things in Aunt Xue's hands, Ye Li knew that she must have spent a lot of money and she felt unworthy.
"If you say that, Auntie will be angry! You must take them all."
"This..." Ye Li was still hesitating.
Fang Ning took it and said, "Mom, let's go and take our things and go straight home."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that the mother and daughter had abandoned her and walked straight into the yard, Ye Li smiled helplessly and immediately followed them, taking the things from Aunt Xue's hand: "I'm really scared of you. Okay, I'll take your things and I'll accept your gratitude!"
"That's right!"
Ye Li led Aunt Xue and Fang Ning into the yard. As soon as they entered, they saw the brothers Jiang Rui and Jiang Xi standing in the yard like two wooden stakes.
When Jiang Xi saw them coming in, he stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this girl your relative? Do you know her?"
"We just met." Ye Li said.
"oh."
"What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?"
Jiang Xi quickly waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking casually."
Jiang Rui stood there without saying a word, his eyes following Fang Ning's figure until Fang Ning followed Ye Li into the house, then he withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Xun had just returned and was packing his luggage in the room. When he saw the guests, he pushed his luggage under the bed and stood up: "You guys chat, I'll go boil some water and make tea for you."
Where has Aunt Xue ever been treated like this?
When you visit neighbors and relatives normally, they always pour you a glass of water. Has anyone ever made tea for you?
"Oh, no need, no need to go through so much trouble?" Aunt Xue said hurriedly.
"Auntie, please sit down and let him go."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Aunt Xue and Fang Ning sat down. Since they had no previous interactions with Ye Li, they had nothing to say for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ye Li opened the cabinet, took out a bag of White Rabbit candy, poured it on the table, and stuffed two pieces into each person's mouth: "Auntie, Fang Ning, eat the candy quickly."
Seeing Ye Li treating them with such high-end candies, Aunt Xue felt that Ye Li was a real person: "Thank you, thank you!"
Ye Li smiled: "You're welcome."
Aunt Xue ate candy and started talking: "My Ningning works in the meat processing factory. In the future, if you don't have meat coupons to buy meat, you can find Ningning. She can get meat for you."
Fang Ning nodded: "We also make ham. If you want to eat ham, you can still have ham!"
Ye Li thought to himself, this would be great!
Now that I know someone who works at a meat processing plant, it will be a lot more convenient to eat meat.
"That's great." Ye Li said immediately, "Aunt Xue, Ningning, if you need cloth in the future, just come to me. As long as I can get it, I will definitely get it for you."
Aunt Xue clapped her thigh and said happily, "That's great. I'm a very honest person, and I take your words seriously, don't I? The quilts in my house are all old, and I want to replace them with new ones, but the cloth is hard to get. If you say so, I'll have to trouble you again after the New Year."
"It's not a problem at all. Just come to me whenever you need me, or you can ask Fang Ning to come to me. Didn't I say it before? I have a good relationship with Second Aunt. You are Second Aunt's friend, which means you are my friend as well!"
"Okay, okay, that's great!" Aunt Xue immediately said to her daughter Fang Ning, "Ningning, come on, call me sister!"
Fang Ning said shyly, "Mom, I think Ye Li is younger than me... I'm 22 years old, and I think Ye Li is about 18 or 19."
"I'm twenty." Ye Li said, "Then I should really call you sister."
When Aunt Xue heard that Ye Li was 20 years old, her gossipy heart was aroused: "I heard from Second Aunt that your man is six years older than you! At that time, no one was optimistic about your marriage, but I didn't expect that your life would get better and better after marriage. It shows that you are a blessed person!"
At this point, she suddenly sighed and frowned, "It's not like our Ningning. She's such a miserable girl!"
Seeing her mother talking about her affairs again, Fang Ning hurriedly stopped her: "Mom, can you please stop talking about it? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at me if you talk about it?"
"What's wrong with me talking to your sister Ye Li about this? It's not someone else." Aunt Xue was determined to say it, because just now she had another plan in her mind.
