After breakfast the next day, Xu Ning rode her bicycle to the city. She first delivered some vegetables and food to Grandma Wang, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Su Hongying.
This year, Aunt Dashuan and Fourth Aunt's family planted a lot of cabbage and radishes. Xu Ning met them in the mountain a few days ago. Fourth Aunt asked her to help ask if her relatives still wanted vegetables this year.
Xu Ning first took out twenty sheets from the space. In the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Hongying was counting the newly arrived goods in the warehouse. When she saw her coming, she greeted the person next to her and came out to greet her.
Xu Ning took a look at the backpack behind her, and Su Hongying understood. He took half an hour off and took her home.
After the two of them settled the payment, Xu Ning told her what Aunt Dashuan and Aunt Si had asked her to do. "Sister Hongying, do you want more vegetables this year? There are two families in our village who planted more vegetables this year. If you want, I'll ask them to send them to you tomorrow."
Su Hongying said happily, "Yes, sister, if you don't come, I will go find you. I want 800 kilograms of cabbage and 600 kilograms of radishes this year. If you don't have that much, less is fine. We will meet at the archway tomorrow afternoon. Is that okay with you?"
After the two agreed on the time and place, Xu Ning returned to the village. She first went to Aunt Dashuan's house and Aunt Four's house, told the two the number and place, and asked them not to tell anyone else.
Fourth Aunt and Dashuan Aunt both said, "Xu Zhiqing, don't worry, we know the seriousness of the matter. You are kind enough to help us, and we will remember it in our hearts and will not make it difficult for you."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Of course I know what kind of people the two aunts are. My relative is a little worried and asked me to warn you, fearing that it would be bad if too many people knew about it."
The two of them also understood other people's concerns, and made some assurances, saying that they would have their boss send it to the archway in the county town tomorrow afternoon.
Xu Ning rode his bike back home and found the door open. Then he remembered that today was Saturday. Xu An had a day off every Saturday afternoon and returned to school on Sunday.
Xu An was hanging clothes in the yard. Seeing her coming back, he smiled and said, "Sister, you went to the city today."
Xu Ning parked the car in the yard and said with a smile, "I went to deliver some food and vegetables to Grandma Wang. Xiao An, how did you get back?"
"Wang Liang and I walked to the memorial archway and saw that Grandpa Chen's ox cart had not yet left, so we rode back in his ox cart."
Xu Ning put the things on the bicycle into the house and asked, "You haven't eaten yet? I'll go make you something to eat."
Xu An hurriedly stopped her and said to her, "Sister, please stop busying yourself. I just came back from having dinner at school. I just ran into Zhang Hairong at the entrance of the Youth Courtyard. I have already made an appointment with them to go up the mountain together later."
When Xu Ning heard him say that he had already eaten, he ignored him, took out the things in the backpack, put them in order, and took out the things that were to be sent to the cowshed in the evening and put them aside.
The cabbages had been cut and the yard was empty, so she prepared to move in all the firewood that Lu Xiaotang had piled outside the door.
The firewood came in bundles and could just be carried in. She put them in the corner and covered them with oilcloth so that they would be convenient to take when it snowed.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon. She still had a lot of pine cones that she had picked up a few days ago that she hadn't peeled yet, so she turned on the radio and sat in the yard in the sun peeling pine cones. Gosh, she felt that this day was quite enjoyable.
Wei Lanlan had severe morning sickness these past two days. Chen Xiangdong didn't allow her to go up the mountain. She was bored staying alone in the Youth League Home, so she came to talk to Xu Ning.
Seeing her listening to the radio and basking in the sun, I enviously said, "Your place is so comfortable. I also want a yard like this."
Xu Ning smiled and walked into the house, brought her a stool and asked her to sit down, saying, "Your place is not bad, there are many people and it's lively."
Wei Lanlan rolled her eyes at her and said, "The Youth House is so nice, why did you move out? Alas, we should have built a house back then. Now we live together and quarrel every day. It's so annoying."
Xu Ning was amused by her and asked, "Who is doing something weird again?"
Wei Lanlan sighed and said, "Gu Wenping and Lin Miao broke up, and this time they really broke up."
It is now 1973, and the two got married in 1974. It should be after this breakup that they encountered the wild boar. At the critical moment of life and death, the two realized how important the other was in their hearts, so they chose to get married immediately and live happily together.
She also thought of the wild boars she and Lu Xiaotang had fought in the past few years, and wondered if there was a match made in heaven for the hero and heroine.
Wouldn't it ruin their good fortune?
Xu Ning asked, "Why did they break up this time?"
"Didn't Wang Juanjuan say she wanted to go back to the city? She called home and wrote a letter, but her family didn't respond.
She had no choice but to go up the mountain to chop firewood for the next two days. She couldn't chop the wood, and she couldn't carry the wood down, so she asked Gu Wenping to help her carry it down.
Seeing that she was crying so sadly, Gu Wenping helped her pick things for two days since they grew up together. Lin Miao had never cared about these things before, but this time, for some reason she got angry and directly said she wanted to break up.
Gu Wenping felt that Lin Miao didn't give him face, and the two had a big fight and really broke up. ”
"Doesn't Gu Wenjing live with Wang Juanjuan? Neither of them knows how to chop wood?"
"They are both of the same character. In the past, Gu Wenping and Yang Wenli helped to do Gu Wenjing's work. Now Yang Wenli has quit. Gu Wenping has to take care of three people by himself. How can he handle it? That's why Lin Miao is angry."
Xu Ning said, "Who would be happy with this kind of thing? If my partner was so philanthropic outside, I would definitely not want him."
At the Nanshi Military Region, Lu Xiaotang, who was watching his subordinates training on the training ground, suddenly sneezed and thought, Xiao Ning misses him after just a few days back? I wonder if she received the letter I sent her a few days ago? I'll write another one when I get home in the evening.
Xu Ning had no idea what Lu Xiaotang was thinking. Even if he knew, he would only give him four words: Get out of here.
Wei Lanlan was tired of sitting, so she stood up and walked around in her yard. She asked, "You have such a big yard, why don't you feed some chickens?"
Xu Ning sighed, "There are two of us, and we can only feed one chicken. We also have to build a chicken coop, and it doesn't lay many eggs in winter, so we don't want to feed it anymore."
"Yeah, it's just a chicken. I'm too lazy to take care of it. It's also very dirty."
The two sat here and talked for the whole afternoon. When Xu An came back, he was carrying a basket full of pine cones.
Seeing Wei Lanlan playing here, he smiled and said, "Sister Lanlan, Brother Xiangdong also picked up a lot of mountain products today. We found them on a mountainside. There are still a lot there. We made an appointment to go again after breakfast tomorrow."
Wei Lanlan asked happily, "Really? Did Chen Xiangdong pick up a lot too? Oh, I want to go back and take a look."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry. Xu Ning hurriedly said, "Slow down and watch your step."
By the time she finished speaking, the person had already run a long way away.
