Chapter 239 The team returning home for the New Year has grown again

Gu Ning's current teaching location is far away, and the packages that were supposed to arrive in half a month now only arrive after the village primary school is on holiday.

Take the package to her house where she is staying.

Grandma Huang was mending clothes. When she saw her daughter coming back with the package from her brother, she smiled and asked, "Did you send something from home?"

Gu Ning nodded: "Yes, they should all be food from our place, perfect, let's try them together tonight."

Open the package and find bean threads, sweet potato skins, sausages and bacon.

Grandma Huang’s grandson’s eyes were almost popping out.

It's all food!

There is still so much meat!

Looking at the skinny Grandma Huang and her only grandson Huang Zhiguo, she said, "Let me cook dinner tonight. Let's try our hometown dishes."

Grandma Huang is old and has bad teeth, so the bean threads were soft and mushy, and the bacon was cut into cubes and minced meat.

Bacon is salty in itself, and if you add some green leaves, it will be extremely fragrant.

Grandma Huang, who usually complained about having no appetite and didn't eat much, finished half a bowl of soup. After that, she sat in the main room with them, warming herself by the fire and looking at the snow scene outside.

There are also three rooms, but the ones here are short and dilapidated, and there are drafts everywhere.

You have to lean against the brazier closely to avoid feeling cold.

Gu Ning seldom talked about his family. Now that he had been here for half a year, he had become very familiar with Grandma Huang and the others. He also ate the things sent by his younger brothers and sisters, and somehow he started talking about his family.

But it also omitted some key information, mainly focusing on himself and Shen Zhiyou.

Hearing that they all lived a good life by studying and getting into college, Grandma Huang looked at Huang Zhiguo and sighed: "At my age, my life is pretty good now, and I am quite content, that's Zhiguo."

Huang Zhiguo added firewood to the brazier.

Because he was a five-guarantee household, he was often bullied by the children in the village, and his temperament was much more taciturn than Tuan Tuan and the others.

Gu Ning couldn't bear to watch him, so he said, "Zhiguo is very sensible and listens carefully in class. You can rest assured that I'll be watching him at school."

Grandma Huang smiled: "Yes, yes, Ningning is watching..."

The old man was not in good spirits. As he was talking, he fell asleep leaning back in his chair.

Huang Zhiguo stood up and closed the door on Grandma Huang's side, lowering his voice: "Grandma will sleep for a while, Teacher, you go and have a rest, I will just take care of Grandma."

"fine."

Although life in the countryside is difficult, people here do everything slowly and time seems to have slowed down.

Just sitting here, warming myself by the fire and looking at the snow outside, I felt very at ease.

But when he turned around and saw Huang Zhiguo playing with firewood, Gu Ning couldn't help but ask, "Zhiguo, have you finished your homework?"

Huang Zhiguo curled his lips and said, "It's useless to write it. I won't go to junior high school. I won't study after I finish elementary school."

"Why not? Only after you finish junior high school can you leave the village, and only after you finish high school can you go to the county town or the city."

As the first teacher who volunteered to teach, Gu Ning said all these words in class.

She coaxed the other children in the class into doing their homework obediently.

He was very disdainful.

It costs more than ten yuan to go to junior high school, how can he afford it?

With this money, I might as well buy more meat for grandma.

And he didn't want to go out, he just wanted to stay here with his grandma.

Gu Ning looked at the silent but stubborn Huang Zhiguo and sighed.

————

Gu Ye and Shen Guowang applied for leave to visit their families, and on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone went back to Tuanjie Commune to celebrate the New Year together.

And this year the returning team is larger than in previous years, and Fan Yingnan is among them!

Shen Guowang was smiling all the way back to his hometown with his new wife, which made others want to beat him up.

He even went to get some water with a teacup, but when he came back he was bumped by someone who was in a hurry to pee and some of the boiling water in the teacup spilled onto his clothes.

The person who hit him was terrified and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, comrade, I'm really sorry, are you okay?"

Some of the liquid also splashed onto Shen Guowang's hands, which immediately turned red.

He even grinned: "It's not a big deal, it's okay, just be careful ahead, don't fall!"

The person who bumped into him: “….” I felt uneasy and something was not right.

Shen Zhiyou and his companions' carriage was closer to the dining car, so they happened to see this scene.

Shen Guowang came over with a teacup in his hand, with a silly smile on his face: "Who wants hot water?"

Shen Zhiyou poked Fan Yingnan and said, "Yingnan, your man is back with the hot water."

Fan Yingnan moved a little, "Youyou, your brother asked if you want hot water."

Shen Zhiyou: "Your man."

Fan Yingnan: "Your brother."

Shen Guowang: "Hey, isn't it all me? Sister, Yingnan, are you two stupid?"

Gu Ye: “….”

Chen Cuijuan covered her face: "......." Oh, this silly boy! Didn't he realize that his sister and his wife both disliked him!

Fan Yingnan was the first to lose control and burst out laughing. She glared at him unhappily and said, "You are stupid. The back of your hand is burned red, and you still tell people it's okay."

"It's really nothing! I have thick skin and it doesn't hurt!"

Fan Yingnan was really impressed by his insensitivity.

But it is precisely because of his insensitivity that Fan Yingnan feels that her life now is more interesting than before after marrying him.

But after returning to the village, Fan Yingnan discovered that it was also a kind of life wisdom of rural people.

As usual, it was Uncle Li who drove a tractor to the bus station to pick them up.

Originally, Chen Cuijuan was worried that her home was too far away and Fan Yingnan would feel uncomfortable because she had to change buses so many times.

As a result, after observing along the way, it was found that Fan Yingnan did not show any displeasure at all.

On the contrary, she has always been tolerant of Shen Guowang who has occasional tantrums.

Especially after getting on the tractor, Fan Yingnan also exchanged experiences of driving a tractor with Uncle Li.

The female comrade had a lot to say, and Uncle Li finally met a soulmate, and he couldn't stop smiling, "Guowang, your wife is amazing, she knows so much about cars! Could she also drive?"

But there was still some prejudice in his words. In their countryside, rickshaws, ox carts, and tractors were only used by men.

I guess the female comrades coming from the city are only good at talking about war on paper.

Shen Guowang was excited when he heard this and raised his chin proudly: "Hey, Uncle Li, my wife can not only drive! She can also fly a plane!"

Uncle Li's laughter was almost drowning out the sound of the tractor engine.

"Still flying a plane, hahahaha, you're still so unreliable!"

Shen Guowang: "My wife really is a pilot!"

Uncle Li was stunned and looked at the girlfriend of the second son of the Shen family, Gu Ye.

Gu Ye held onto Nian Nian, who was sleeping all over the tractor, with one hand, and supported his wife, whose back was almost numb from the shock, with the other hand. He pursed his lips and nodded, "She is in the Air Force. Not only can she fly a plane, she can fly a fighter jet."

"Oh my god, what happened?!"

Chen Cuijuan, who was half asleep, suddenly felt her whole body tilt. She shuddered with fear and quickly grabbed her daughter: "What happened?"

Uncle Li smiled guiltily: "I didn't hold the handle properly, it got crooked."
