Xu Ning was preparing food for Xu Yang on the road when she heard someone crying in the Youth League Home. She asked Lu Xiaotang to watch the pot while she went to the Youth League Home to see what had happened.
Before I even reached the Youth Farm, I heard a woman crying, "Wenping, you and Juanjuan grew up together. When she came to the countryside, I asked you to take care of her. Why did you just tell me now when such a big thing happened?"
Gu Wenping said helplessly, "Auntie, I only found out about her relationship recently. I wanted to call you, but I was busy recently, so I didn't have time to tell you."
When Xu Ning heard this, she knew that Wang Juanjuan’s family had come, so she was too lazy to go and turned around to go home.
Lu Xiaotang was flipping the dried meat in the pot. Seeing that she came back so soon, he asked, "What happened?"
"Wang Juanjuan's family came and made a scene in the Youth House, so I didn't go in."
Lu Xiaotang nodded and said, "Don't worry about it."
Xu Ning asked, "How would you characterize Wang Juanjuan's situation?"
Lu Xiaotang sneered, "That depends on whether Cao Bo wants to protect her. If he wants to protect her, then there won't be any big problems, but she will suffer."
But Cao Bo is selfish and doesn't care about others. His brother-in-law should be sentenced to death for what he did, and he will be sentenced to at least 10 to 20 years. If he doesn't want Wang Juanjuan to get married, then she will be in trouble. ”
Xu Ning didn't know what to say. He could only blame her for what she had done. If you want to hurt others, don't blame them for fighting back.
Xu Yang and Xu An each came back with a load of firewood. Lu Xiaotang hurriedly took it from Xu An and asked the two to go into the house to rest and drink some water.
Seeing that there was already so much wood in the yard and the firewood room, Xu Ning said to the two men, "Brother, these are enough for this year's burning. Don't go and chop them. Just rest at home. You still have to sit in the car for several days tomorrow. It's so tiring."
Xu Yang finished drinking the water in the bowl and said, "Why rest? I'm not tired. I'll go chop some more. It's cold here. You can keep the kang and the fire wall warm in winter."
Lu Xiaotang stopped him and said, "Don't go. These are enough to burn. I still have a lot of coal briquettes I made last year. I will come back every year in the future. Just rest at home this afternoon and we can have a good chat."
Xu Yang looked at the firewood and coal briquettes at home, which were quite a lot.
Xu Ning took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, saying, "Brother, how about you try this?"
Xu An was unhappy and said, "Sister, what about me? I also helped to chop wood. Don't I deserve to eat even a piece of meat?"
Xu Yang, who was eating a piece of meat, kicked him and said with a smile, "You little bastard, you dare to be jealous of me."
Xu An smiled and ran to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of meat strips, stuffed them into his mouth and said, "Since you're leaving tomorrow, I won't argue with you. This meat strip is really delicious."
When Xu Ning saw this, he said, "Eat less today. This is for your brother to take away. I will bake some more tomorrow and you can take it to school next week."
Xu An grabbed a handful of dried meat and felt very sad. Now his eldest brother, Xiao Mo, and Brother Lu were competing with him for favor, and his sister didn't love him anymore.
After dinner, Lu Xiaotang and Xu Yang sat on the kang playing chess, while Xu An and Xu Ning were making sesame cakes and egg cakes in the kitchen.
Lu Xiaotang asked Xu Yang, "How are you doing over there?"
Xu Yang smiled and said, "Not bad. I might have to upgrade it this time when I go back."
"That's great. You can be promoted to company commander when you return this time, right?"
Xu Yang said embarrassedly, "It's the deputy company commander, Xiaotang, you are really amazing, our military region knows your name.
Our company commander, oh no, now it should be the deputy battalion commander, was very impressed after hearing your story.
I asked for leave this time, saying that I would come back to attend your and my sister's wedding. You don't know how surprised he was, he could have fit a duck egg in his mouth. ”
Lu Xiaotang waved his hand and said with a smile, "They are just empty reputations. Don't listen to what they say. It's not that exaggerated."
In the kitchen, Xu Ning cut the two rabbits into small pieces and roasted them dry.
I also remembered the soybean paste that Aunt Dashuan asked Jianmin to bring me two days ago.
He said to Xu An, "Xiao An, go and pack up the soybean paste that Jianmin brought in cans and let Big Brother take it away. He likes to eat it. You can also add pickled cucumbers and sour beans as decoration."
I thought that it would be inconvenient to pack things without plastic bags. Her family does not have enough cans every year. I went to Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei to ask for these two days ago.
Xu An looked at the soybean paste in the jar and asked, "Sister, I remember the jar of soybean paste that Jianmin brought was full, how come it's so little now?"
Xu Ning also remembered that Xu Yang had been dipping steamed buns in soybean paste at every meal these days, and he ate a lot at every meal, not afraid of the saltiness.
"Ride your bike to Aunt Dashuan's house now and ask for some candy for her grandson.
Take some beans to Aunt Cuihua's house and exchange them for some tofu. If you can exchange more, I will bake some dried tofu for my eldest brother to eat on the way. ”
Xu An nodded, rode his bicycle to the village, and before leaving, he told the two people playing chess to go to the kitchen to help light the fire.
Lu Xiaotang sat in front of the stove and made a fire, while Xu Yang stood in the kitchen and talked to them.
Xu Ning couldn't help but mutter when he saw him, "Brother, that soybean paste is so salty, you should eat less in the future. Eating so much salty food is not good for your health. If you continue to eat like this, I won't bring you any next time."
Xu Yang took the dried rabbit meat that had just come out of the pot and nodded obediently while eating it, but no one knew whether he listened or remembered it.
Seeing him like this, Xu Ning sighed helplessly and thought that it was time to find him a wife. He wondered if he had a girlfriend in the army.
She looked at him again and asked, "Brother, are there many female comrades in your army's art troupe? Are they pretty?"
Xu Yang asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing that he was not getting the point, Xu Ning said earnestly, "Brother, you are not a child anymore, it's time to find a wife. There are so many female comrades in your army, is there no one who is right for you?"
Xu Yang looked at her and thought, how come this girl's words are exactly the same as what his mother said that day, they are indeed mother and daughter.
He glanced at Lu Xiaotang who was sitting in front of the stove and saw that he was pursing his lips, trying to hold back a smile.
He took two more pieces of rabbit meat from the basin and said as he walked out, "Where is Xiao An? He hasn't come back yet. I'll go out and check on him."
Before Xu Ning could react, he had already run away. He sighed and muttered, "He is so old, but he is not reliable at all and still acts like a child. How can he get a wife like this? Sigh."
Lu Xiaotang couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Yang fleeing and the little girl still muttering there.
