After drinking a glass of water, Shen Anning changed her clothes and lay in bed. She had only planned to take a nap for a while, but the cashmere blanket had a faint smell of grass, and the quilt was warm, so her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
When he woke up again, he looked at his watch and realized that it was already half past six. The noise outside sounded a bit lively. Shen An Ning couldn't stay in bed any longer, so he opened the curtain and went out. Sure enough, a bonfire had been lit in the open space outside.
Cao Jingheng looked at Shen Anning who came out, and walked over with the skewers in his hand, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Shen Anning took the skewers, still a little unhappy, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Everyone was busy, even the children were working, and she was the only one sleeping soundly, which made her feel embarrassed.
Shen Anning, who had just woken up, had a red face and a dazed look in her eyes. Her little temper made Cao Jingheng even more obsessed with her. He couldn't help but push her into the yurt. As soon as the door curtain was lowered, he held the girl in his arms.
"Well, why are you here again?"
Looking at Ana Shen who was breathing heavily in his arms, Cao Jingheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.”
"I don't believe you. Someone must have seen us just now. Let's get out quickly."
Pulling the anxious little woman, he said, "An Ning, I can't control myself when I'm with you, so you have to get used to it. I'll listen to you on everything else."
"Okay, I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling." Shen An Ning didn't dare to look at the man's eyes. His possessiveness was too strong. Fortunately, they were not married yet, otherwise she would really feel bad for herself. Thinking of her married life, she couldn't help but touch her waist.
Uncle Six's family was busy preparing dinner when they saw the two of them coming out holding hands, smiling but also a little embarrassed. Young people are so loving. Seeing that they have a good relationship, Uncle Six and Aunt Six were happy for them. There is only one Cao Jingheng left in the Cao family in this generation. Being able to live a loving life with the person you love is better than anything else.
Ana Shen looked at Tana who was busy, and hurried forward, “Sister-in-law, let me help you.”
Tana smiled and handed over the wooden spatula in her hand. "Everything else is almost ready. Once the ox tongue is baked, we can start eating. Why don't you try making fried milk tea? I'll teach you, okay?"
Fried milk tea, Shen Anning would also drink the milk tea in the space, but she had not tasted the special milk tea of Inner Mongolia, and she instantly became interested, "Okay, sister-in-law, you speak Chinese very well. If Aunt Liu hadn't said you were Mongolian, I would have thought you were a genuine Han Chinese."
Tana was a little embarrassed and explained, "I couldn't speak Mongolian well at first. My parents are herders. They are nomadic and don't have fixed pastures. It's not convenient for them to go to school. Later, I met the head of the family. He didn't speak Mongolian well, so we taught each other. Later, we got together. My parents-in-law are very kind and they sent me to a special language school. After speaking for so many years, my Chinese and Mongolian are almost the same."
Shen Anning looked at Tana. It is said that a woman's happiness after marriage can be seen from her expression. When Tana spoke, she mentioned her husband and the light in her eyes could not be blocked.
“Sister-in-law, I can tell that you and Brother Cao Bing have a very good relationship, and your children are also growing up very well.” Hearing Shen An Ning praising her children, Tana’s smile grew even bigger.
By chatting with Tana, Ana Shen quickly integrated into the lively environment.
"Come on, An Ning, put the butter in first. Yes, one piece is enough."
When the butter melted, he took the bowl of fried rice handed to him by Tana, poured it into the pot and kept stir-frying it. The aroma of butter and fried rice made Shen An Ning dizzy with the aroma.
"Sister-in-law, is this color okay?"
"Stir-fry for a few more times... well, it's this browned color. Now you can pour the water in."
Put in the tea leaves, cover the pot, and Shen Anning smells the smell, "This smells really good."
"Try it when it's ready. If you like it, I'll pack it with all the ingredients when you get home. You can drink it anytime when you return to Beijing."
After about ten minutes, pour the milk into the pot and add the beef jerky cut into small pieces. Because the beef jerky was freshly baked, it didn't need to be cooked for too long. Add a pinch of salt. Tana was afraid that Shen An Ning would not be used to drinking this salty milk tea for the first time, so she put less salt than usual.
Lifting the lid of the pot again, he smelled the salty and fragrant smell in the air. Because of the beef, there was also a meaty aroma. Shen Anning took the bowl and blew on it, and couldn't wait to take a bite. "Well, it tastes really good. It has the taste of rice, meat and milk." Although it is a bit salty, it is not unacceptable.
The dinner was very sumptuous. The table covered with felt cloth was filled with a wide variety of delicious food, including hand-pulled meat, roasted lamb legs, milk tofu, tripe meat, mutton dumplings, baked ox tongue, pulled skin, roasted milk skin and fried rice milk tea. There was a charcoal heating stove in the yurt, and the enclosed space made the food even more fragrant.
Cao Jingheng took Shen An Ning to sit on the bed, with Cao Bing and Tana's three children next to them. The two boys were older brothers and were much quieter than usual because of the guests. The younger sister, Xiao Zhuoma, was only four and a half years old, at the age when she loved to talk. She sat next to Shen An Ning and introduced her to the delicious food on the table.
"Wow, little Zhuoma, you are so amazing. You know how to make all these things."
Being praised by Shen An Ning made her feel a little embarrassed, "Beautiful sister, my mother said I was still young and didn't need to do these things, but I watched her and grandma cook, and I remembered everything after watching so many times."
"Really? You're really great." Shen Anning stuffed all the White Rabbit candies in his pocket into the little guy's pocket. "This is a reward for you. Remember to share it with your brothers when you eat it."
