It was already past eleven o'clock when Xu Ning returned from the village. There were still many things to prepare in the next few days, so she chopped the cabbage first and set up the dining table in the yard that day.
When Lu Xiaotang and Xu Yang came back, it was already past three in the afternoon. She had finished chopping the cabbage and was sitting in the yard peeling the cabbage leaves.
Seeing the two of them coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Have you two eaten? If not, I'll go cook something for you now."
Xu Yang waved his hand and said, "I ate it with Brother Jianshe in the city."
Lu Xiaotang parked his bike and went over to help her pick the cabbage. "Are you going to pickle the cabbage today? If you want, I'll clean the jar."
Xu Ning had originally planned to pickle them tomorrow, but seeing that they were all back, he decided to pickle them together today.
Xu Ning looked at Xu Yang who was looking around in the yard and said, "Brother, go to the kitchen and take out those two big vats and clean them. I'm going to pickle some sauerkraut later."
"I'll go!" Lu Xiaotang said, and then he got up and went to the kitchen to move the two large vats.
When Xu Yang saw Lu Xiaotang gone, he didn't move and was still wandering around.
Xu Ning glanced at him and shouted again, "Brother, come and help me peel the cabbage leaves."
But I was thinking in my heart, how could he be so tactless and have no sense of life? He is even worse than Xiao An and Xiao Mo. If he continues like this, how will he be able to find a wife?
Xu Yang sat beside her and said, "Xiao Ning, can't you just take a break from watching me?"
Xu Ning said earnestly, "Brother, look at how hardworking Brother Lu is, he does all kinds of work. Look at you, you are in your twenties, who would marry you if you continue like this? If you were not my brother, I would not bother to pay attention to you, so you should be more careful."
Lu Xiaotang, who was in the kitchen, couldn't help laughing when he heard the little girl scolding her brother outside.
Xu Yang looked at his sister, who was peeling the cabbage skin with her nimble fingers and chattering away, but he felt very warm in his heart.
He raised his hand and rubbed her head hard a few times, making her hair look like a chicken coop.
Xu Ning was so angry at his actions that he took the cabbage leaves and threw them at him. Xu Yang ran out, protecting his head.
The brother and sister staged a chase scene in the yard.
Lu Xiaotang saw Xu Ning chasing behind, panting, while Xu Yang in front was still teasing her.
When Xu Yang ran to him, he stretched out his foot, and Xu Yang was tripped. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Xu Ning ran over and beat him up.
Xu Yang deliberately shouted loudly, "Sister, sister, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Xu Ning was amused by his funny look.
Lu Xiaotang finished washing the jar and smiled at the two of them, "It's getting late. Come over and pickle the vegetables quickly. It will be dark soon and you won't be able to see."
While having dinner in the evening, Xu Ning asked the two what they had done in the city that day.
Lu Xiaotang said, "We went to sit with Brother Jianshe, asked about Cao Bo and his brother-in-law, and went to the machinery factory."
Xu Ning understood that he was going to find Li Shiyou's children.
She asked, "What is the attitude of Li Shiyou's two children born to his ex-wife?"
Lu Xiaotang said, "They hate his father to the core. Their mother died because of Li Shiyou and his current wife."
Xu Yang also said, "Li Shiyou is not only cruel and ruthless, but also very greedy. Most of the things seized during the previous house searches were hidden by him. He is also cunning, so the things he hid may not be that easy to find."
Xu Ning asked, "If Li Shiyou and Cao Bo fall, it won't have much impact on Wang Juanjuan, right? She will continue to jump around, which will be annoying enough."
Lu Xiaotang said, "How could she be allowed to jump? Cao Bo gave her a lot of good things. Do you think she wouldn't give anything in return? Those things are so easy to get."
Xu Ning understood that the two of them must have a substantial relationship.
The next morning, Lu Xiaotang and Xu Yang went into the city again. Before leaving, they told Xu Ning not to wait for them in the evening as they would not be back tonight.
Xu Ning had nothing to do at home, and the house was very clean, so there was not much need to clean.
She took out the military uniform that Lu Xiaotang had given her this time, altered the size, and prepared to wear it on her wedding day.
After lunch, Xu Ning was really bored, so he took his backpack and prepared to go up the mountain for a walk. There were not many mountain products at that time, and people were chopping wood everywhere.
When the aunties and sisters who were familiar with her saw her, they all congratulated her, and the more cheerful ones made some good-natured jokes with her.
Xu Ning really couldn't handle these aunties and sisters, so he went home dejectedly with his backpack.
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Yang did not come back at night. After breakfast, Xu Ning prepared to take Old Chen's ox cart to the city.
The wedding is only two days away, and she plans to get some meat and fine grains out today.
Old Chen saw her and smiled, "Xu Zhiqing, are you going into the city today?"
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Grandpa Chen, I'm going into town today to buy some things for the wedding. You must go early on that day and bring Erdan and Sandan with you to play."
Old Chen said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I will definitely go early. On that day, I will not rush into the city by car. I will go there specifically to wait for your wedding."
He went to the supply and marketing cooperative, took the marriage report issued by Lu Xiaotang's army and bought some candy and some things needed for the wedding.
After thinking about it, I decided to go and tell Su Hongying about her marriage. Lu Xiaotang and Xu Yang have already invited Zhao Jianshe and Su Hongmei.
She has had a good relationship with Su Hongying in recent years, so no matter whether she has time to go or not, she still has to invite her.
Su Hongying didn't go to work today. She was washing clothes at home. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly invited her into the house and asked, "Xiaoning, why are you here today? Is there anything?"
Xu Ning smiled shyly and said, "Sister Hongying, I am getting married on the 26th of this month. I came here today to invite you and your brother-in-law to attend my wedding."
Su Hongying smiled and said, "Your girlfriend and your brother came to me yesterday and told me about it. I have already taken my leave and will go there with my sister and the others on that day. You don't have to go back at noon today. Eat here instead."
Xu Ning hurriedly said, "Sister Hongying, I won't eat here today. I know an elder here and I need to go to her house to tell her."
She came out of Su Hongying's house and prepared to go to Grandpa Wang's house. After living together for so many years, they were almost like family.
Although it is not convenient for them to go to the banquet, some candy should still be sent over.
She didn't take the fruit candy she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, but took a pound of White Rabbit milk candy from the space, as well as some meat and fine grains.
Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang were both at home. They were very affectionate to her when they saw her. Knowing that she was going to get married soon, the two old people were very happy.
Before she sat down, Grandma Wang went into the inner room and came out after a long while with a box.
She asked the old man to lock the door.
