Chapter 250: Hot Pot Skewers
The red and swollen wound on Qin Jiulie's palm miraculously began to heal.
It is a speed visible to the naked eye.
The scar went from being raised to gradually becoming flat.
From redness, swelling and bloodstains to intact skin.
Even Qin Jiulie opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Wife, this... this..."
Jiang Ning gently stroked Qin Jiulie's palm with his fingers dipped in the water from the spiritual spring.
Even if the scar is gone, she will still remember it.
Jiang Ning raised his eyes and made eye contact with Qin Jiulie, speaking in a gentle and extremely serious tone.
"Jiulie, I tell you this because I hope you won't worry about me. Whether you are by my side or not, I can take good care of myself, and nothing will happen to me again."
"At the same time, I also want you to be safe. Whether in the barracks or on the battlefield, your safety will be my biggest concern."
"I already have Tongtong, and I can't live without you anymore."
This was Jiang Ning's advice to Qin Jiulie before he left.
It was also a worry she hadn't really voiced.
Even though Qin Jiulie didn't say a word about what happened in the military camp when he was at home, it didn't mean that Jiang Ning was completely unaware of it.
Qin Jiulie felt heavy in his heart after hearing these words.
He promised in a deep voice, "Wife, I promise you, I will be fine."
…
The days go by fast.
Ten days have passed since the accident in the small mountain village.
Jiang Ning also returned to the military camp to recuperate for a week.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The latitude of the southwest is actually not high, and its climate is close to that of subtropical climate.
However, the altitude of this area is too high and the military camp is halfway up the mountain.
When the autumn wind was blowing in the city, it was already winter for them in the mountains.
Especially early in the morning.
The moment I came out of the warm bed and was exposed to the cold air, I really wanted to go back to bed and not get up.
It was half past four in the morning.
It was cold and dark outside, without a trace of light.
There are no street lights in the military compound, so you have to use a flashlight when going out.
Qin Jiulie had already gotten up early.
Because the military camp arranged morning exercises, getting up early and running ten kilometers in the cold wind has become a routine.
Qin Jiulie stood by the bed and put on his clothes.
The tall and straight man has the temperament of a Nordic male model even if he is wearing a gray sweater.
It looks good no matter how you look at it.
Not to mention, this sweater was knitted by Jiang Ning stitch by stitch.
Jiang Ning was lying on the bed with the quilt pulled up to his chin, revealing only his fair and pretty little face and his bright eyes blinking.
Asked softly.
"How is it, does it fit?"
"My wife made it, so it will definitely fit me."
Qin Jiulie straightened the hem of his sweater and felt warm all over.
He leaned over and kissed Jiang Ning gently.
The sweet young couple took every opportunity to spend time together.
"Are you going to invite your neighbors' sisters-in-law to your house for dinner today?"
"Well, when I was in trouble before, my sisters-in-law took such good care of me and gave me many things. I should have thanked them a long time ago."
Jiang Ning planned for a long time, and his sisters-in-law refused several times.
After so much pushing and shoving back and forth, the date was set on this day.
Qin Jiulie frowned with some worry.
"You are in a heavy condition now. It would be too much trouble for you to cook for so many people by yourself. Or I will cook another day when I am on leave."
When Jiang Ning heard this, he burst out laughing.
She thought of Qin Jiulie's cooking skills and the funny things Gao Fang had complained about Qin Jiulie doing in the kitchen.
I couldn't help but tease.
"If you cook, it's not a dinner for the guests, it's a dinner for the guests."
Jiang Ning said as he smiled, his eyes sparkling.
She then explained.
"Don't worry, I have arranged everything. You don't have to make many dishes. I will just make one."
"One?"
Qin Jiulie was even more confused.
There was a hint of mystery on Jiang Ning's smiling face.
And what she had to do was indeed a——
Because it’s hot pot.
…
"Hey! You're going to Ning Meizi T's house too, right? Come on, let's walk together. It's windy today, so if we walk together, we'll be warmer."
"Did you bring the things Sister Ning asked you to bring? She said these are things she'll need for meals."
"Yes, I brought it! She told me several times, how could I forget!"
The sisters-in-law met him as soon as they went out.
They all put on thick cotton-padded clothes and changed their original rubber-soled shoes into cotton-padded shoes.
But the biting cold wind still couldn't stop from seeping into the gaps in the clothes.
A large group of people walked together in twos and threes, arm in arm.
at the same time.
Each of them held a large teacup in their arms.
The sisters-in-law looked left and right, with confusion on their faces.
"Why did Sister Ning ask us to bring big teacups for lunch at noon? Is she asking us to have soup?"
"You're asking me? I don't know. It would be strange for me to go out with such a big teacup."
"Don't look at me, don't look at me! I don't know either...We're just a few steps away from Sister Ning's house, so why not just ask her directly then?"
A group of people quickened their pace while talking.
When we arrived at Jiang Ning’s yard. ¤
A sister-in-law shouted at the top of her voice.
"Sister Ning, we are here!"
In the cold wind, there was suddenly a lively and festive atmosphere.
Wait until they open the door and go in.
There was a coal stove in the small house, and the steam was rising as if the heater was on.
Besides warmth.
There was also a rich fragrance floating in the air.
As soon as I took a breath, I couldn't help but touch my stomach and felt hungry instantly.
Jiang Ning heard the noise in the front room, lifted the curtains between the living room and the kitchen, and walked out of the small kitchen.
She had been staying in the kitchen, her fair cheeks were red.
Greeted with a smile.
"Sisters-in-law, you are here. Come sit down and warm yourself by the fire. We will be ready to eat soon."
Some of the sisters-in-law sat down, while others stretched their necks to look into the small kitchen.
Asked one after another.
"Sister Ning, what delicious food are you preparing? It smells so good!"
"You're already so pregnant, and we came here empty-handed. How can we ask you to cook for us?"
"That's right. You're young and your belly is big. We should be the ones taking care of you."
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.
"Sisters-in-law, I'm just inviting you all to dinner. It's not a big deal. Besides, I'll have a lot of things to trouble you sisters-in-law for when I give birth and take care of myself after the baby is born. Today, I'd like to thank you all first."
In the lively little house.
Not only does the rich aroma soothe your internal organs, but even Jiang Ning's words make you feel comfortable.
"Sister Ning! Every time I hear you speak, it's like listening to someone singing an opera, it's so nice. After listening to you, I feel so comfortable. Unlike my man, he only knows how to make me angry all day long."
"Hey, hey, hey! Today is our women's gathering, why are you mentioning men? Besides, our sister Ning is so good, how can a man compare to her?"
"Hahahaha... Sister Ning, please stop keeping us in suspense. We have brought the big teapot. What are we eating today?"
Jiang Ning replied to comfort his anxious sisters-in-law.
"Don't worry, it will be served soon."
The time it takes to speak.
There were some noises coming from the kitchenette.
Jiang Ning stood by and reached out to pull the curtain.
Then, in a gust of hot air, Wang Chunxia came out with a jar as big as a washbasin.
The big jar contains red soup base and ingredients skewered on thin bamboo sticks.
Especially the red oil soup base, which has the aroma of chili and peppercorns, blending together. Just smelling it in the middle of winter makes you feel warm.
There is a layer of white sesame seeds floating on the top of the soup.
The white sesame seeds have been fried before, so they still have a crispy aroma.
There are even more ingredients soaked in the red oil soup.
There are potatoes, radishes, and green vegetables.
There are white tofu, fried tofu, and dough.
There are also mushrooms, lettuce, and other vegetables.
The meat dish was made from two large hens killed by Jiang Ning.
The meat was cut into pieces and then skewered together with bamboo sticks.
Chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken necks, chicken clavicles...a big bowl full of them all!
