Although she had a smile on her face, she unconsciously moved her hand to the side, as if she was deliberately distancing herself from the person.
Ningxia was not someone who was willing to put his face in front of others and then receive a cold butt. After seeing her actions clearly, he silently let go of her hand and took a step back.
The voice was quite cold and said: "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."
The woman also realized that her actions were too deliberate, and quickly explained with a smile: "It's not good to be seen by people coming and going."
After saying this, she left with the backpack on her back with great effort, not caring whether Ningxia understood what she meant or not.
After all, Ningxia had been here for a relatively short time, and she felt that what the woman said was somewhat incomprehensible.
He shook his head, ignored it, found a stone and sat down gently.
The captain's wife came over with an enamel pot in her hand, with a smile on her weathered face: "Comrade, it's very cold today, come and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Ningxia thanked the captain's wife, thought for a moment, and took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket.
"Thank you, Auntie. You can take these candies back to sweeten the children's mouths."
The captain's wife quickly rubbed her hands on her clothes and smiled embarrassedly: "This is not good."
Ningxia forced a smile on her fair little face: "Keep it, Auntie, please go back quickly."
The captain's wife put the candy in her pocket. Knowing that she wanted to be alone, she stopped talking and left quietly.
On the other side, Meng Yuqing had just walked to the sheep pen when he saw Wen Wangqiu rushing towards him.
Wen Wangqiu breathed heavily, took the backpack from Meng Yuqing's shoulders, and said disapprovingly: "Didn't I tell you to wait for me there?"
Meng Yuqing smoothed the hair beside her ears and said with a smile: "It's very cold waiting over there, so I carried you here.
Just now I saw a little girl. I had never seen her in the village before. I didn’t know if she was a new educated youth or just passing by.
Thanks to her for helping me, otherwise if I broke my old arms and legs, the heavy work would have to fall on you again. "
Wen Wangqiu frowned: "Haven't you seen it before?"
Meng Yuqing nodded affirmatively.
“When I was collecting cow dung over there just now, I saw a few military trucks coming.
Do you think this little girl came here with them?"
Wen Wangqiu raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the village, and then said to himself: "I don't know if he is from the army. I don't know what's happening to Aze now."
Meng Yuqing also sighed: "Alas, we don't know when our days will end.
I am not worried about Aze. The only thing that worries me is his marriage.
I’m not a child anymore, but I don’t even have someone to warm my bed.
I don't know why I always feel so nervous when I'm doing such a dangerous job."
Wen Wangqiu freed one hand, took his wife's slightly rough hand, and comforted her softly: "This kid has grown up and has his own ideas. Who knows, there might be good news next time he comes."
"I hope so."
The old couple walked slowly towards the cowshed. The weather was still very cold, so if they wanted to keep warm, they had to collect firewood.
Since there was no firewood to be found, the people in the cowshed would pick up some cow dung and burn it to keep warm.
At this time, the madman was sitting in the yard, mumbling something, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
Seeing Meng Yuqing and his wife coming back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In recent years, he has been getting along very well with Meng Yuqing and his wife.
On the one hand, their personal charms are there, and on the other hand, the news about their own daughter all depends on the information sent by Meng Yuqing's son-in-law.
Wen Wangqiu nodded at him imperceptibly, put down the basket on his back, shook off the dirt on his back, and then slowly walked into the house.
On the other side, Ningxia didn't know how long he had been sitting there, and his uneasiness was growing.
Behind her, two children came over with a small basket.
"Sister Ningxia."
Ningxia turned her head in confusion: "Who are you?"
"My father is the team leader, Sister Ningxia, these are the pancakes my mother made. She asked us to send two to you.
The weather is cold, you should eat it while it’s hot, otherwise you’ll get a stomachache if you eat two pancakes in your stomach.”
Ningxia smiled, reached out to take the thing, and reached into her pocket for candy, but found nothing.
She chuckled and then remembered that she had given all the candy to the captain's wife.
Helplessly, he could only rub the two little ones' heads and said, "I got it. You guys should go back as soon as possible."
The two children left, looking back every few steps. When they saw Ningxia lift the cloth on the basket, take out a piece of cake, tear off a small piece and put it into his mouth, they ran happily into the village.
Ningxia hadn't even finished swallowing a bite of pancake when he heard the rumbling sound of a truck not far away.
She quickly stood up and took two steps forward.
Wen Shize, who was sitting in the car, patted his face, gathered his thoughts, and jumped out the moment the car stopped.
Ningxia was so excited that the basket in her hand fell to the ground, and she ran forward two steps quickly.
Regardless of the presence of outsiders, she threw herself into Wen Shize's arms.
Wen Shize's body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly relaxed and raised his hand to hold the person in his arms.
"Do you know that you scared me to death?"
Ningxia's tears wet Wen Shize's clothes on his chest, and she sobbed and kept expressing her worries.
Wen Shize was a little flustered. Apart from his own sister, few women cried in front of him.
He felt a dense pain in his heart, as if he was pricked by a small needle.
Li Qiang stopped the car, jumped out, and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a pang of pain in his teeth.
Wen Shize held Ningxia in his arms and kept comforting her. Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more disgustingly, Li Qiang couldn't help rubbing his hands.
He ignored the two people and walked quickly towards the village.
He also picked up the pancake that Ningxia had dropped on the ground, patted it, blew on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
God knows how nervous he was along the way.
Despite being hungry and cold, he felt like he was eating a full banquet just from this piece of pancake.
When the two of them had finally gotten tired of being together, Wen Shize took Ningxia's hand and put it into his military coat.
He staggered towards the brigade headquarters.
As early as when he was in the car, Wen Shize found this place very familiar.
He basically comes here once every three months. He just came last month. It was a pleasant surprise for him to pass by again this time and see his parents again.
In addition... Wen Shize turned his head and glanced at Ningxia next to him. He thought that he could take Ningxia to meet his parents, but he didn't know whether the girl in front of him would agree.
