At home, the three children waiting for Shen Anning were looking forward to this day.
Shen Anning walked to the door of the north room. An Yu and An Xuan were discussing what to make for dinner. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they both looked at the bedroom door at the same time and whispered excitedly, "Big sister."
"Sister, you're finally back. Xixi insisted on going out several times today. I looked at the door countless times and just fell asleep out of exhaustion."
As Shen Anxuan spoke, he picked up the kettle and poured water into the teacup and basin. "Sister, warm your hands first."
"You guys performed very well today. Thank you for your hard work. I will make dinner for you as a reward." It was very comfortable to put my frozen hands into the warm water.
Shen Anyu got off the kang, put on his shoes, and picked up the kettle. "Sister, you take a break first. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water and cut the vegetables. You can cook later."
"Yes, big sister, you take a rest first. My brother and I will do it. When I grow up and learn how to cook, I will cook for you."
Watching his younger brother and sister trotting towards the kitchen, Shen Anning felt warm in his heart, and the regrets of his previous life were relieved a lot at this moment.
After changing clothes, Shen An Ning looked at the little Xixi who was sleeping soundly on the kang, and did not dare to leave. Looking at the increasingly lovely little guy, Shen An Ning was so happy.
Looking at the time, Shen Anning went to the kitchen to call out her younger brothers and sisters. She made some sauerkraut stewed pork, fried some frozen cabbage, steamed some buns, cooked some vermicelli porridge, and added the garlic eggplant that Grandma Li gave her. It was just enough for several people.
Just as the food was placed on the table in the outer room, Xixi woke up and called out several times. An Yu and An Xuan hurriedly brought the food to the kang table inside. Shen An Ning came into the room, picked up the little girl, and kissed her.
"Ah, our Xixi woke up just in time, it's time to eat."
"aunt."
"Yeah, auntie is back. Did you miss her today? You're so good. Auntie loves you so much."
"Eat, baby, eat."
Hahahahahahahaha.
Shen Anxuan was so amused that she lay on the kang and covered her stomach. "Sister, Xixi likes to eat. She was the same at noon today. She didn't want to drink milk and drank a whole bowl of millet porridge."
Shen An Ning held her forehead and laughed, looking at the little guy in her arms, and leaned over to rub her little face with her nose.
"Come on, feed us Xixi first."
The little guy ate half of the steamed bun, one bite after another, using all his strength, and Shen An Ning, who was very strong, almost couldn't keep his balance.
After cleaning up after dinner, Shen An Ning held the little girl to sleep, and her sister An Xuan slept beside her. Now, unless there is a special situation, Shen An Ning dare not put Xixi into the space. The little girl is too smart, and she is afraid that she will form a memory of the space.
The kang was burning brightly, and even Shen An Ning felt hot even with a thin quilt covering her, not to mention Xixi, who moved around all night long. If she hadn't been paying attention to her all the time, the little girl might have fallen to the ground.
There were four people in the family, and three girls were sleeping in. Only Shen Anyu resigned himself to getting up early to exercise and prepare breakfast.
Shen Anning was going to the town to buy coal today and to prepare some New Year's goods. After dinner, he rode his bicycle, carried a backpack and went out.
When passing by the educated youth site, he also picked up Xu Hongxia, as she was going to the town to pick up a package sent from home.
This year, Sister Wanli from the educated youth point got married, and everyone was not used to it for a long time.
Perhaps it's because enemies often meet, Shen Anning and Xu Hongxia ran into Cao Yu and Zhao Jie at the post office door. Shen Anning was secretly happy when she saw them riding their new bicycles.
"Hey, isn't this Xu Zhiqing and Shen Zhiqing? They're here to get something too. What a coincidence."
"Tsk, the town is so small, how come your family bought the post office? Can't we come? Stop looking for trouble all day long." Xu Hongxia was annoyed when she saw these two guys. She usually avoided seeing them in the village, so who would have thought she would meet them again when picking up a package.
"An Ning, let's go in."
"Yeah, okay."
Ignoring the two door gods standing beside him, Shen Anning first went to call home.
"aunt."
"Hey, Ningning, how are you doing recently? Last time you called, your uncle and I didn't answer the phone, so those two brats just remembered to eat." Shen Yipei looked at the two sons beside him and didn't want to pay attention to them.
"Is Uncle here too? Everything is fine lately, and everyone at home is fine. It's a bit cold this winter. Aunt, I exchanged a lot of cotton with my aunt in the village, and there are also mountain products I picked up in the mountains. They should arrive in the next few days, so remember to pick them up."
Shen Yipei felt somewhat relieved. Her niece had always been independent and would definitely be able to manage her life well. "Okay, I understand. Don't send everything home. Keep it for yourselves, okay?"
She spoke a few more words to her uncle and two cousins. There were still people queuing up behind her, so Shen Anning didn't take up the phone for long. She paid the phone bill. What she didn't expect was that she received a letter from the Guangzhou Military Region.
Xu Hongxia looked at the address on the envelope and asked curiously, "An Ning, has your brother changed his military command?"
"Oh, no, it's a relative of mine. We have a pretty good relationship. I guess he wrote to say hello."
After putting the letter away, Shen Anning first accompanied Xu Hongxia to visit the supply and marketing cooperative. They didn't plan to buy meat here. After a while, the families who raised more pigs in the village would naturally kill them. Buying in the village was cheaper and they could choose more.
After going to the place where they bought coal and handing over the approval slip and paying sixty-one yuan, Shen Anning took Xu Hongxia back. As she expected, Cao Yu's new bicycle replaced Shen Anning's and became the new focus of the village.
Having such a rich man standing in front of him was something Shen Anning wanted more than anything!
