Perhaps it was because Wen Shize's gaze was too passionate that Ningxia came back to her senses from her excited thoughts.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Ningxia thought about it carefully. He had only eaten a piece of pancake just now. Could it be that the crumbs on the pancake fell into his mouth?
She quickly reached out her hand and touched her mouth.
This look made Wen Shize laugh. After thinking it over, he decided that he should not bring the little girl to meet his parents for the time being.
So as to avoid getting scared on both sides when looking back.
When the captain saw that the two men had also driven over safely, he was so happy that his teeth were showing.
The captain's wife, who was helping to light the fire, added fuel to the fire and said, "Oh, I was wondering why Comrade Ningxia was standing at the entrance of the village and didn't want to come back.
It turns out that your girlfriend hasn't come back yet. Young man, you must treat the Ningxia girl well.
She was so worried that she just wiped away her tears."
Ningxia blushed after hearing these words and whispered, "Auntie..."
During dinner in the evening, the team leader specially arranged for the villagers to kill a sheep.
Everyone in their village admires and has a good impression of the soldiers.
The reason is simple. They got lost in the snow countless times, and it was this group of people who braved the wind and snow to rescue them.
So when the captain learned about the identities of Wen Shize and the others, he began to make arrangements in a hurry.
Of course, I didn't tell this to others in advance, otherwise, given the character of the people in the army, they would definitely not be willing to accept it.
So, when everyone was sitting there, talking about the next plan.
Five or six men walked into the brigade entrance carrying a sheep.
The sheep had been slaughtered and the man looked very excited.
He said to the captain: "Uncle, where should I put this?"
Li Qiang was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to the captain: "Captain, what are you doing......"
The captain waved his hand suddenly and said, "Oh, the sheep have been killed, so don't be polite to us.
These are the sheep that died of freezing this year. It would be a waste if we don’t eat them.”
Li Qiang quickly glanced at Wen Shize, and when he saw Wen Shize nodded, he thanked him profusely and agreed.
Soon, the yard was filled with the aroma of barbecue. Not only Li Qiang and his companions, but even the poachers guarded by the militia, all swallowed their saliva.
The captain's wife was also a very talkative person. She called over several other aunts who were following the car to help and chatted with them casually.
Aunt Liu's eyes kept wandering around the yard. Seeing that the captain's wife's clothes had almost no patches on them, she couldn't help but look envious.
"Big sister, life in your village is pretty good."
The captain's wife paused while washing vegetables, then immediately reacted.
She happily shook the water off her hands, narrowed her eyes and said, "The fruits from our village are supplied to the factory every year.
I can get a lot of profit at the end of the year, so my life is pretty good.
This is all thanks to the secretary of our commune, who is wholeheartedly concerned about the villagers.”
"Factory? Which factory are you supplying to?"
The curiosity of the other aunts was aroused, and they stretched their heads to look at the captain's wife.
The captain's wife felt that this was a well-known fact and there was no need to hide it.
Immediately, he said quickly: "In the first two years, we supplied it to Kouli. They didn't want much, and we could only barely make ends meet.
In the past two years, our commune has built two new factories, and there is a demand for more things.
So more of it is distributed to every household.”
The aunts suddenly realized: "This is a great thing."
"That's right. Oh, I'm so envious of you."
The envy in everyone's eyes seems real.
The captain's wife stopped talking, smiled, and didn't say anything else.
There were several fires burning in the yard, making it feel warm.
Ningxia sat next to a small fire, rubbing her hands gently.
Wen Shize stood next to the charcoal fire, grilling a few pieces of cut lamb chops.
Li Qiang was holding a skewer with lamb on it and grilling it with great interest.
He was grilling while listening to instructions from others. A middle-aged man pointed at the fat beside him and said, "When you grill mutton skewers, you need to put a piece of fat on them.
This way it tastes good, otherwise it tastes dry.”
Li Qiang listened to the advice very much and quickly took a small piece of fat and inserted it in the middle of the skewer.
Looking at the sizzling barbecue with fat bubbling on it, Li Qiang's mouth was constantly watering.
He sprinkled some salt and cumin powder on it. It had just been roasted, so he put a piece into his mouth without caring about the heat.
The man with a crew cut next to him glared at him in dissatisfaction: "Didn't we agree that this skewer is for me to eat?"
Li Qiang smiled, showing his big white teeth: "How about I give you a taste first?"
The corners of the buzz cut man's mouth twitched. When did you become so glib...
Wen Shize grilled the lamb chops, then found a small plate and placed it in front of Ningxia.
"Try it. I think lamb chops are better than barbecue."
Ningxia's eyes sparkled: "Wow, we are the same.
I also think lamb chops are more delicious. Here, I’ll give you a piece.”
She slid a piece of lamb chop towards Wen Shize's mouth.
Just as Wen Shize was about to reach out to take it, he saw the little girl stubbornly pushing the lamb chops towards his mouth again.
In an instant, Captain Wen's face turned red.
I subconsciously glanced around and thought to myself: What a brave little girl.
Ningxia smiled so much when she saw Wen Shize holding the lamb chops in his mouth with his hands.
In the carriage on the other side, the poachers were looking at this side eagerly.
Occasionally there were a few noises, and the militiamen, armed with their weapons, knocked against the carriages.
"Behave yourself!"
The poachers looked embarrassed and dared not speak anymore.
After dinner in the evening, the team leader arranged for them to stay at the team headquarters.
Ningxia was invited to the home of the captain's wife.
"My daughter is studying in the county town. Her house is usually empty. You can stay here without any worries."
Ningxia couldn't refuse other people's enthusiasm, so she could only nod in agreement.
Several other aunts were also arranged to live with the villagers.
After all, grown men can sleep on a bunk bed for a night and just heat up the stove a little bit.
The women couldn't hold on any longer.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Wen Shize quickly got up and walked outside.
He came to the cowshed with ease and knocked on the window of the house where his parents lived.
Wen Wangqiu, who was half asleep, suddenly woke up and asked in a low voice, "Who?"
"It's me!"
Hearing that it was his son's voice, Wen Wangqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little confused.
He opened the door slowly and Meng Yuqing lit the kerosene lamp.
