Yan Guodong walked out of the post office carrying two large packages.
It looked like it couldn't fit on the bicycle.
Finally, let Yan Ning ride his bicycle home first.
He took the package and went back in a bullock cart.
Yan Ning readily agreed.
She didn't want to experience the feeling of riding a bullock cart again.
Yan Ning rode his bicycle ahead.
When we returned to the Daliushu Brigade.
She took a special look at the gossip squad at the village entrance and saw that they were not there.
It seems that these people don't stay here all the time to chat.
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when I got home.
There is no one at home.
The gate to the courtyard was locked and Yan Ning didn't have the key.
In fact, before leaving the house in the morning, Mrs. Yan placed the key for Yan Ning on the dining table.
But Yan Ning didn't notice.
Thinking that her uncle would be back in more than twenty minutes.
Yan Ning sat on the stone steps at the door and waited.
Waited for almost half an hour.
Yan Ning then saw her uncle walking towards them in the distance, carrying two heavy packages.
Yan Ning hurried forward to help carry a package.
Returning to the gate of the courtyard, Yan Guodong put down the package and stretched his fingers.
"Xiao Ning, why didn't you go in? Didn't you take the key your grandma left on the table for you?"
Yan Ning was a little embarrassed, "I didn't notice."
Yan Guodong took out the key and opened the door, saying, "It's my fault too. I didn't ask you if you had the key at the commune just now."
The door opened and Yan Guodong carried two packages in.
The quilts are not needed for the time being, so I put them all in the storage room at the back.
After Yan Guodong asked Yan Ning if he would go out in the afternoon, he planned to return to the county.
He took five days off this week as he had a lot of things to do in the office.
Before he left, he went to the field again and called back Yan Yulin who was working.
Yan Yulin lived in the school dormitory when he went to school in the county.
We have one day off every Sunday, come back on Saturday night, and have to go back to school on Sunday night.
Since Yan Guodong was going back to the county, I might as well take him with me.
Yan Guodong rode his bicycle and took Yan Yulin away.
Yan Ning glanced at the time and it was almost four o'clock.
She took out some ingredients from the space and planned to prepare dinner.
When your family asks you about it, just tell them that you bought it in the county today!
She doesn't know how to use the earthen stove in the kitchen.
I had to figure it out on my own.
Fortunately, the stove was finally lit successfully.
First, boil some hot water in a large pot.
She went to process the ingredients first.
Wash the chicken that Bai Min bought and chop it into small pieces to make spicy chicken.
Cut the pork belly into pieces and make braised pork.
Wash the beans, peel the potatoes, and soak the vermicelli in hot water.
Make a stew with these three.
Then stir-fry some greens with garlic and make some cold cucumber salad.
Five dishes are enough.
Today's meal is very sumptuous. Other families in the village only eat meat once every ten days or half a month.
The food has been very good these two days since Yan Ning came back, with meat at every meal.
Work in the village ends at six o'clock.
Around five o'clock, Yan Ning prepared to cook on another stove.
She made it based on the meals available at home.
I steamed corn rice by mixing cornmeal with rice.
At half past five, Yan Ning added some firewood to the stove and started cooking.
At six o'clock, the village loudspeaker sounded the bell for the end of work.
The villagers waited for their work points to be recorded before returning home one after another.
Old Mrs. Yan and a few old friends walked home while chatting.
Old Lady Sun walked beside Old Lady Yan and asked her, "Old sister, when I was working in the fields today, I heard the woman from the Wang family say,
She saw the captain and your Xiaowu pick up a girl yesterday. Is she a relative of yours?
Old Mrs. Yan's face was full of joy. She replied, "What relative? That's my eldest granddaughter who has returned. She is the only daughter of the Yan family."
In Old Lady Yan's mind, the two daughters who were married out already belonged to other families.
Now the Yan family only has Yan Ning as its daughter!
Secretary Yan's wife, Old Lady Li, asked curiously, "Is that the daughter of your eldest son? Is she coming back to stay for a few days?"
Old Madam Yan knew that the two of them were not talkative, so she explained to them with mixed feelings: "Except for little girl Ning, everyone else in the eldest brother's family died of gas poisoning.
This girl was all alone in Beijing, so we brought her home and registered her in our name."
Both of them looked surprised.
How could this person just disappear like that?
Then I thought about the preferential treatment the village had received from the commune over the years. Wasn’t it all because there was a high-ranking official named Yan Guopu in the Daliushu Brigade?
At this moment, the two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
After saying this, Old Lady Yan looked at Old Lady Sun and Old Lady Li again, "You two have the best relationship with me. From now on in this village, you two have to help me take care of her."
Old Lady Li acted as if to say, "Why are you being so polite to me?" "Your granddaughter is my granddaughter. She has to call me Grandma Li, so of course I will take good care of her."
Old Lady Sun also said: "Given our relationship, we would have taken better care of her even if you didn't say it."
Old Mrs. Yan was relieved.
When the three of them reached the foot of the mountain and headed towards the village.
Old Mrs. Yan saw smoke coming out of her chimney from a distance.
I guessed that it must be Ning Yatou who was cooking.
That girl doesn't know how to cook, so don't get yourself hurt.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace as she said to the two older sisters, "I'm going to go back first. Tomorrow when I have time, I'll take Ning to meet both of your families."
Old Mrs. Yan returned home in two steps.
