Around four o'clock in the afternoon, it was getting dark, and Xu Hongxia had already come to urge Shen Anning to take her brothers and sisters over quickly.
The educated youth site was almost empty a week ago, with only her and Li Meng left.
Shen Anning found a few large porcelain bowls in the kitchen, put three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish in them, and asked Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan to carry them over first.
Not long after his younger brother and sister left, Wang Jianjun came over with the processed roe deer meat. Fearing that Shen Anning might not be able to handle it well, he divided it into pieces according to the parts.
Seeing Wang Jianjun put it down and was about to leave, Shen Anning didn't care about anything else and took a front leg from it, "Uncle Jianjun, take this back, don't say no, listen to me."
Shen Anning was very strong. She stuffed her front legs into Wang Jianjun's hands and walked out the door with the basket without waiting for him to refuse.
Watching Shen Anning walk towards the village, Wang Jianjun looked at the front leg of the roe deer in his hand, thought of the things she had sent home in the afternoon, and slowly hid himself in the darkness.
When Shen Anning arrived at the educated youth point, Li Meng and Xu Hongxia were already busy. Although there were only six people, the dishes prepared were very rich. Xu's father and mother knew that their daughter would not go back for the New Year. Although they felt a little regretful, they were also worried that it would be dangerous for her to go back and forth alone, so they sent her a lot of delicious food and money.
Shen Anning walked into the kitchen with the basket in her hand. Seeing that Xu Hongxia was now cooking properly, she felt that time passed so quickly and could really change a person.
"I can't believe it! After Sister Wanli and Sister Qian Hui left, our comrade Xu Hongxia will also be able to take charge of the cooking and become the head chef."
Xu Hongxia was cooking and looked at Shen Anning, "People always have to grow up, don't they? Stop teasing me and come help me."
The three girls worked in the kitchen for a while, and together with the dishes that Shen Anning asked her younger brothers and sisters to bring, they made a total of eight dishes. Xu Hongxia also took out the wine that she and Shen Anning learned to brew in the summer.
Li Meng was the first to raise her glass, looking at the delicious food on the table, "Hey, even though there are only a few of us in the educated youth camp this year, we still have to celebrate the New Year well."
"cheers."
Several children couldn't drink alcohol, so Shen An Ning specially made milk powder and malted milk for them. Even Shen Zixi stood up properly and held the small teacup.
"Auntie, cheers!"
"Okay, cheers!"
Shen Anning brews wine every year and has a few drinks when he has nothing to do, so he didn't feel anything after drinking half a jar. However, Li Meng and Xu Hongxia were drunk and started talking nonsense in the second half.
Looking at the two people who were somewhat unconscious, Shen Anning, who had packed up her things after dinner, was really worried about leaving them alone at the educated youth site.
"An Yu and An Xuan, you two take Xixi with you. Auntie will take Sister Hongxia and Sister Meng back to stay for one night."
It was a cold night, and these two drunks certainly couldn't take care of themselves.
Shen Anyu carried Xixi on his back, Shen Anning stood in the middle to support the two of them, and An Xuan was responsible for locking the door and holding on to the side. It was only a few steps away, but it took them nearly ten minutes to get home.
After putting Xu Hongxia and Li Meng on the kang in the east room and taking off their shoes, Shen Anning looked at the two people lying in extremely unsightly postures and resigned herself to going to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup.
"An Yu and An Xuan, take Xixi to wash up first. It's already night and too cold. Soak your feet before going to bed and cover yourself with the quilt."
Shen Zixi was a little unhappy when she saw that her aunt was not with her. She opened her arms to hug her, "Aunt, go to sleep. I'm a little sleepy."
Boo!
She kissed the little guy's forehead, and the touch of her lips was a little cold. "Okay, I'll feed the two aunts some medicine and then I'll take you to sleep. Be good, it's too cold. Go to the bed and help warm it up first, okay?"
"Okay, hurry up."
After sending away the clinging ghost, Shen An Ning went to the kitchen to get out the prepared medicinal materials and happened to light the kang in the east room.
After coaxing the two of them to drink the hangover soup, Shen An Ning helped to spread the mattress and quilt on the kang, and sat by the kang and waited for about ten minutes.
After the medicine took effect, looking at the two people who were still a little confused and rubbing their eyes, Shen Anning brought a wooden basin and a kettle into the house, "Wake up quickly, wash up first and then go to sleep. I have locked the door of the educated youth center. You can stay at my house for the night."
Xu Hongxia had come here so many times that she didn't think it was a big deal. She put her feet in the basin, lay on the kang, rubbed her head, and muttered, "Oh my God, I have to practice more in the future. An Ning, you have to teach me more this summer. I also want to learn how to make rice wine."
Shen Anning patted her a few times, "You still want to drink rice wine in this state? Wait, you will have a headache tomorrow morning."
Unlike Xu Hongxia's familiarity, Li Meng felt a little uneasy sitting on the kang. Shen Anning noticed her uneasiness and said, "Li Meng, it's okay. Sleep here tonight. You don't have to get up early tomorrow morning on New Year's Day."
"Thank you, An Ning."
Li Meng watched Shen An Ning running around for them, and thought of her own terrible family. She couldn't understand how parents could be so irresponsible to their children.
Shen Anning and Xu Hongxia looked at Li Meng, who was sitting on the kang and sobbing, and looked at each other for a while, not knowing what was going on.
"Li Meng, why are you crying? It's okay. An Ning is so familiar with us. If you are touched, come and play with her more often when you have time and help her."
"I just think you're so kind. My parents have never cared about me this much. I've been here as an educated youth for so long, and they've only sent me two letters, both urging me to send money and food back."
Li Meng shed tears and smiled helplessly.
