When she went back at night, Shen Anning hid in the yurt to avoid her sixth uncle's family. She applied ice cubes all the way, but the mark on her mouth was too obvious, and it was obvious that she had done something bad.
Thinking of those blushing and heart-pounding scenes in the afternoon, lying on the bed, Shen Anning screamed like a groundhog in her heart.
"Ah, ah, ah." Oh, male beauty is really attractive. Who would have thought that after being a bachelor for two lifetimes, she could not resist the teasing. The man is too good at it, and she indulges him, so Cao Jingheng "bullies" her more unscrupulously.
"Ningning, I'm coming in?"
"Hey, don't go in. It's all your fault." Looking at Cao Jingheng, An Ning's heart was uneasy. "Go out first."
"Let me see. Well, it's much better now. I can't see anything. If you don't believe me, look in the mirror." Cao Jingheng was a little short of breath. If a man in love is encouraged, wouldn't he become more unrestrained?
They will be going back tomorrow, and Uncle Six will make them a roasted whole lamb tonight. Shen An Ning took advantage of the strong wind outside and wrapped herself in a scarf, which could barely cover half of her mouth.
"Okay, let's go out and don't keep Uncle Six and the others waiting."
Tana and the others looked at the young couple and felt that the atmosphere between them was weird tonight. Shen Anning, who was usually very talkative, sat on the stone bench, eating skewers without saying a word. Cao Jingheng also said nothing, but just handed the skewers in his hand to Shen Anning after he finished one.
After eating five or six skewers, Shen An Ning got up and walked to the grill. Looking at her red mouth, Tana lowered her head and smiled. No wonder... They are all experienced people, they all understand.
"An Ning, eat more tonight. The lamb is very tender." Tana cut a small piece of lamb chop with a knife and sprinkled cumin seeds on it.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law, thank you for your hospitality these days, you can eat too."
When they came, they brought some daily necessities and candies to give to Uncle Six's family. The things were all obvious, and Shen An Ning was not in a position to take them out of the space. She got along well with Uncle Six's family these days, and the children took good care of her as the "big sister". They even gave her their treasured cheese slices to take home and eat.
Holding little Zhuoma, Shen Anning braided her hair into a beautiful braid. "Zhuoma, when I return to Beijing tomorrow, I will send you some beautiful hairpins and hairbands, as well as that flower soap. You, a little beauty, like to wash your face with it, right?"
"Well, you found out about Sister An Ning. Don't tell my mom. I, I used it secretly. The soap smells so good. The ones my grandma bought before were all smelly. I don't like them." The little girl wanted it very much, but she was also worried that it would be difficult to buy such a good thing. She looked conflicted.
Patting the little one's head, she said, "Zhuoma, you must study hard. You and your brother will go to Beijing to study in the future. The department stores there are all filled with fragrant soaps."
Shen Anning knew what Cao Jingheng was thinking. In a few years, even if Uncle Six and Aunt Six didn't go back, these children would have to go to the city to receive education. They couldn't let them graze on the grassland all their lives.
This time on the way back, except for the seats for two people, the rest of the car was packed with sheepskin coats prepared for them by their sixth uncle and sixth aunt, beef jerky that their eldest brother Cao Bing had roasted for them after killing a cow, brick tea, fried rice, butter and various other foods prepared by their sister Tana, and the leftover roasted whole lamb was wrapped in oil paper for them to eat on the way back. Little Zhuoma gave all her snacks to her without keeping any for herself.
"Zhuoma, don't cry. Remember what I told you? We will meet again, right? The package I sent you will arrive in a few days. I put a photo of me in it. Please take a look when you miss me."
Parting is always sad. Although we were together for only a few days, I was overwhelmed by the sight of Zhuoma crying and twitching, my sixth uncle and sixth aunt with tears in their eyes, Tana wiping her eyes, and Cao Bing and his son riding horses to send them off.
"Don't be sad. I'll bring you here next time when I'm free. Look, when we were in Beijing, we only saw each other once every ten days or half a month, and I never saw you sad."
Hearing these provocative words, Ana Shen slapped him in anger, "Stop being so poor, can it be the same?"
"How is it different? This place is not far away. Next time I have time, I can drive over in half a day. Don't cry, or I will make you cry even more later."
Being teased by the man like this, Ana Shen was angry and ashamed, and she didn't care about crying.
On the way back, the two of them did not stop at any time. Except for eating to deal with the important matter of life, the car did not stop. Tomorrow, some of them will go to work, and some will go to school. If they get home early, they can also pack up early. In the evening, the two families will have dinner together.
It was just past one o'clock when we got back to Beijing. It was still early. "Let's go to the post office first to send something to Uncle Six and the others. We can go home after that."
Cao Jingheng already knew about the space, so Shen Anning had no worries. Winter was about to come in Inner Mongolia, and Shen Anning had prepared ten kilograms of cotton, thirty feet of cloth of four different colors, ten pieces of soap, ten tubes of toothpaste, five kilograms of White Rabbit candy, five kilograms of fruit candy, and six boxes of different snacks for the six uncle's family of five. She also prepared two pairs of sports shoes for each of the three children, a pile of notebooks and pencils, and a hairband and hairpin for Zhuoma.
The two large packages could not fit in the car at all, so Cao Jingheng had to drive to a deserted place, get out of the car first and then take the things off the driver's seat. The total weight of the things was 30 kilograms, and the postage alone was more than ten yuan.
The items were sent and they said it would arrive in about three days. Shen Anning also wrote a letter to Tana. There was no other way because little Zhuoma was not very literate and could not understand it. She was worried that the child would know that the letter was for her, so she hid it and did not give it to the adults.
Cao Jingheng first sent Shen Anning back to the compound. There were too many things, so he showed the guard his work ID and drove the car directly to the door of the house. Most of the sheepskin coats given by the sixth uncle were for the Shen family, including Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen and several children.
Grandma Shen looked at the things in the living room, and Cao Jingheng who continued to move things, and took Shen Anning's hand, "Why did you bring so many things back?"
"These were all given by Uncle Six and Aunt Six. Grandpa and Grandma Cao also had some. We have a big family. Jingheng said that if he took too much, he wouldn't be able to finish it."
Grandma Shen nodded her head, “You, you.”
The little ones didn't think as much as Grandma Shen thought. When they saw the delicious dried meat and cheese, they were already captivated. Xixi even hugged Cao Jingheng and called him uncle bluntly, which made him very happy. He stuffed snacks into the little girl's arms one after another, "This is all I have today. When your uncle is free, I will take you to the department store and buy you something delicious."
Although Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan were not so obvious, they also showed that they recognized Cao Jingheng as their future brother-in-law.
