The brother and sister opened the letters as soon as they got home. Xu An sat on the kang and opened Xu Yang's letter first. Xu Ning opened Lu Xiaotang's letter outside and put the letter addressed to her in her pocket before going in.
In the letter, Xu Yang talked about his recent situation, reported that he was safe, and finally asked about the situation here.
Lu Xiaotang's letter was still only half a page, saying that he couldn't come this year because he had to go on a mission and would try to come next year.
After they finished reading the letter, Xu An sighed and said, "I won't be able to see Brother Lu again this year. I was thinking of waiting for him to come and try my new specialty."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Just cook your specialty this morning and let me taste it first. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going to catch up on some sleep. Call me when it's time for dinner."
Xu An... he just got up and he's going to sleep again. And didn't we just eat his specialty yesterday? Want to eat again today?
Xu Ning went back to the room, sat on the kang and opened the letter. Unlike the half sheet of paper, this letter was written on two and a half sheets.
After she finished reading the letter, she lay on the kang and sighed. She had no idea how long this long-distance relationship would end, and she fell asleep on the kang while thinking about all sorts of things.
When Xu An called her outside to eat, she was sleeping soundly. She got up from the kang, put the letter in the space, opened the door and went out.
Looking at the fried meatballs on the table, he asked, "Xiao An, why did you fry meatballs again today? Didn't we eat them yesterday? We can't eat fried food all the time. It will make us get angry."
Xu An...
When Wei Lanlan came to her house to play in the afternoon, she failed to coax Xu An. It seemed that she was really angry this time!
Xu An saw Wei Lanlan coming and said, "Wei Zhiqing, you talk to my sister. I'm going to go play in the front for a while." After saying that, he went out.
Wei Lanlan looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with your brother? He doesn't seem very happy."
Xu Ning coughed and said, "The child is just having a temper tantrum. It's okay. He will be fine in a while."
Xu Ning asked Wei Lanlan to sit on the kang. She went to get some pine nuts, and the two of them talked while eating.
Wei Lanlan told Wang Juanjuan what she had asked her that morning, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. She asked me who sent you the money, and I said it was your brother and your cousin."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. There's nothing to hide. My brother and my cousin earn their money in an honest way. If she asks again, just tell her the truth."
Wei Lanlan talked about what happened when she came to the Youth Farm. "I heard from Gu Wenjing that she has two older brothers and she is the only daughter. Her family has loved her since she was a child. This time she came to the countryside to work because of Gu Wenping."
Xu Ning asked, "They are together every day, so Lin Miao didn't notice anything?"
Wei Lanlan curled her lips and said, "You think Lin Miao is naive, she should have seen it a long time ago, I don't think she likes Gu Wenping that much.
She must have been attracted by Gu Wenping's family conditions. If someone else came out with a better family background than Gu Wenping, she would definitely turn around and leave.
Haven't you seen that she has been wavering between Gu Wenping and Yang Wenli in the past two years? However, Yang Wenli no longer hangs around them. He stays in the house after dinner and rarely comes out. ”
Xu Ning knew that Lin Miao was like some girls in later generations, scheming and worldly-wise. She put family conditions first when looking for a partner. She hoped to find a man who was the son of an official or a rich man so that she could rise to the top in the future without having to work too hard. Those methods only worked on men.
People like Lin Miao won't dare to act rashly as long as you are stronger than her, so just ignore her.
Wang Juanjuan should be the kind of pampered girl who has been pampered by her family since she was a child. She looks very well-educated. If you are down and out, she will give you alms in a condescending manner to show off her sense of superiority. But if you live better than her, she will not feel comfortable and will find ways to make others inferior to her.
So this kind of person is the most dangerous. She is like a poisonous snake. She looks harmless, but she may bite you at any time. If you really want to be an enemy of this kind of person in the future, you cannot use the method you used against Gu Wenjing.
Xu Ning asked, "Is Yang Wenli still eating with Gu Wenping and Lin Miao?"
"They still eat together. Wang Juanjuan also wanted to eat there, but Lin Miao said the place was too small and couldn't accommodate everyone, so she didn't agree. Now she eats with Chunhua, Liu Fang and the others. But she doesn't know how to cook. Sometimes she buys some meat and some fine grains for everyone to eat together. Now Chunhua and Liu Fang help her cook. She has a pretty good relationship with Chunhua and Liu Fang."
The two talked for the whole afternoon, and it was time to prepare dinner before Wei Lanlan went back.
Xu Ning felt a little sick of the meatballs she had eaten at noon, so she took out a tomato from the space and ate it. These tomatoes were placed in the space in the summer, and she had been eating them secretly in the house. It was not that she wanted to eat them alone, but there was no way to explain these things.
Thinking about Xu An who is still angry, I feel a little headache. This kid has never been angry for such a long time. I will make something he likes to comfort him today!
When Xu An came back, Xu Ning had already put the food on the table. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "Xiao An is back. I made your favorite bean sprouts today. Come sit down and try them."
Xu An played there for a whole afternoon and had long forgotten about being angry with his sister. Seeing his sister carefully coaxing him, he wanted to be arrogant again.
He sat there with a sullen face, tasted it, and said, "Why is it so bland? Is there no salt at home?"
Xu Ning thought that there was really no salt added, so he picked up some bean sprouts with chopsticks to taste it, and it was just right!
Also, although this boy had a sullen face, he could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.
I picked up the chopsticks and wanted to hit him.
Xu An hurriedly smiled and grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, sister, it's salty and flavorful, just right, sit down and eat."
Xu Ning glared at him, handed him a pancake, and told him about what Wang Juanjuan had asked about them.
Xu An nodded and said, "Sister, I understand. When I went to see Dalin that day, I talked to the village chief uncle about it. We wanted to build a wall, and he agreed. I also made an agreement with Uncle Hongjun to help us build the wall in the spring."
Xu Ning looked at him with satisfaction. This boy has really grown up. He can take care of everything at home and outside. She doesn't have to worry about anything.
After dinner, Xu Ning was still washing dishes while Xu An took the letter to the cowshed. Lu Xiaotang hadn't written to him for a long time, and his parents were also worried, so he decided to tell them the news as soon as possible.
When Xu An came back, a strong wind was blowing outside. He was carrying Xu Mo on his back. As soon as the little guy entered the house, he climbed onto the kang and had a close chuckling with Xu Ning. He also told them the stories he had heard from Seventh Grandpa during this period.
The three siblings were talking affectionately on the kang. Although the wind was freezing outside, the house was warm and comfortable. When Xu Ning went back to the house to sleep, he opened the door and looked out. Large flakes of snow were floating outside again. It would be even harder to go out after this snowfall, so they could only stay at home until the spring.
