Yang Xiaomei and Wei Lanlan were doing needlework together when they saw her bring in a basin.
Yang Xiaomei put down the needle and thread in her hands, took the basin, picked up a piece of spicy cabbage and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that she hadn't even washed her hands, Xu Ning couldn't wait to put the food in her mouth and said in surprise, "Is the spicy cabbage I made so delicious?"
Yang Xiaomei nodded vigorously with a piece of spicy cabbage in her mouth.
Wei Lanlan smiled and said, "It's really delicious. I don't know how you have such skillful hands. The taste of ours is different from yours."
Xu Ning sat on the kang and asked, "It's easy. Just tell me when you want to eat and I'll make it for you. Where's your little Fatty?"
"Chen Xiangdong went to the dormitory for male educated youths to play. Why did you leave the house today? Where's your man?"
Xu Ning glared at her and said, "Why are you speaking so vulgarly? What do you mean by manly or not manly?"
Yang Xiaomei laughed and said, "You are married now, what else can you say if not your man? You can't still talk about your cousin, right?"
After saying that, he made eyes at Wei Lanlan.
Xu Ning snatched the bowl from her hand and said, "It seems that this spicy cabbage is not to your liking. I'd better take it back!"
Yang Xiaomei immediately stopped her and said with a smile, "No, no, no, it suits my taste, it suits my taste."
The three of them sat on the kang and talked. Wei Lanlan whispered, "Lin Qiuhua is getting married. The matchmaker introduced her to a distant nephew from her mother's family.
He is average looking but very capable. Lin Qiuhua went to see him a few days ago and agreed to get married during the Chinese New Year. ”
Yang Xiaomei also said, "Lin Qiuhua is not young anymore. Is she 24 or 25 this year? If she doesn't get married now, it will be even harder to find a partner in two years."
Xu Ning had traveled through time, so he didn't feel that twenty-four or twenty-five was old. In later generations, it was normal for people to be unmarried at the age of thirty.
But nowadays, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, if you are not married by the age of 24 or 25, people will gossip about you.
After talking to the two of them, she went home.
Lu Xiaotang will be returning to the army in the next few days, so she plans to roast some more dried meat for him to take with him, and then send some to Xu Yang.
She had just cut and marinated the wolf meat and was preparing to cook when Lu Xiaotang came back.
He took out the things he bought and put them in the house. Seeing Xu Ning busy in the kitchen, he went to help light the fire.
Xu Ning asked, "Why so fast?"
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "I'll be back soon after I deliver the things. Brother Jianshe said that Wang Juanjuan's parents spent a lot of money and found a lot of connections in Beijing. Wang Juanjuan will be out in a few days. Her mother gave her her job in order to let her return to the city."
Xu Ning said, "I really don't know what to say about this person. He has a good life but insists on coming to the countryside. You said you would work hard when you come.
He is doing it again, bringing himself to this point, harming others and himself. ”
Lu Xiaotang sneered, "She didn't want to harm herself, she just wanted to harm others. This time she got off easy. I don't know why Cao Bo suddenly changed his mind. However, this kind of person will not be content even if he returns to the city."
Xu Ning agreed and said, "I heard that her two sisters-in-law are not easy to deal with. She can't stand others being better than her. She will make the family restless when she returns."
After the meal, they sat on the kang and talked. Seeing that she was having a hard time sewing the soles of the shoes, Lu Xiaotang took the shoe from her and said, "My hands are strong, let me try."
He added, "It's so laborious. Don't make shoes anymore. Ask the aunties in the village to help make a few pairs and give them some money."
Xu Ning looked at him and smiled, "It's not that hard. I just did it for a while because I was bored."
Lu Xiaotang smiled and teased her, "I asked you to go to bed early last night, but you said you wanted to work overtime to make shoes."
Xu Ning glared at him and asked, "Don't you know why I have to work overtime to make shoes?"
"Xu Ning, Xu Ning, there's a telegram from your family." Sun Hao shouted outside the courtyard wall.
The two looked at each other, and she immediately got off the kang and said, "I'll go see who sent it."
Lu Xiaotang also came out and said, "I'll go with you."
The postman saw the two of them and said hurriedly, "Xu Zhiqing, this is an urgent telegram from the Nanshi Military Region. The recipient is Lu Xiaotang. I asked the village chief, and he said it's your girlfriend."
Lu Xiaotang hurried over to take the telegram, took a look at it, and said to Xu Ning, "Xiao Ning, I have to go back to the army immediately."
Xu Ning's eyes immediately turned red. He didn't even bother to greet the people from the Youth House, and said to him, "I'll go back and pack your things for you."
When they got home, Lu Xiaotang saw her carrying a big bag to pack food, and quickly stopped her and said, "Xiaoning, I'm not going back to the Nanshi Military Region this time. I'm going to perform a mission somewhere else. I'm going to Qi City to take a train right now, so don't bring these things."
Xu Ning said with red eyes, "You have to eat on the road, I'll go in and get you some biscuits and snacks."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
Lu Xiaotang sighed when he saw it. If Xu Ning's treasure was discovered by someone, it would be a real crime.
He needs to work harder, at least when she is in danger, he will be able to protect her.
Xu Ning came out and took out some snacks and biscuits, as well as medicines, and said to him, "These are anti-inflammatory drugs, and they are very effective. They were also the ones I gave you last time. Take these with you."
Lu Xiaotang hugged her tightly and said, "Xiaoning, you must not let anyone else know about this space house. Try not to take out anything from it except for what you eat. If someone finds out, they won't be able to explain where these things came from."
Xu Ning nodded in his arms and said, "I know. Don't worry. Be careful when you are out on a mission. We are all waiting for you to come back home."
Lu Xiaotang looked at his watch and said, "I'm leaving now. Tell your parents in the evening."
Xu Ning nodded and said, "You can ride your bicycle and leave it at Sister Hongying's place or Brother Jianshe's place when you get to the city. I'll ride back on a bullock cart tomorrow."
Lu Xiaotang nodded, tied the luggage to the bicycle, turned around and hugged her, and said, "Xiaoning, it's cold outside, so don't go out. I will write to you when the time comes. Take care of yourself at home, and don't save money. I will earn it."
Xu Ning stood on the road, watching people walking farther and farther away, until he could no longer see anything and could no longer hold back his tears.
When Xu Mo came back from school, he saw Xu Ning fetching water and felt very strange because his sister had not fetched water since his brother-in-law came back.
She must have come here to look for him today, so Xu Mo walked to the well and asked, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about? Are you missing your brother?"
Xu Ning looked at him and smiled, "Yes, Xiao Mo, I miss you. I want you to sleep at my place tonight, okay?"
Xu Mo's eyes lit up and he said, "Sister, then you and brother-in-law should leave the door open for me at night. I'll go over after dark."
Xu Ning said, "Your brother-in-law had some emergency in the army, so I sent a telegram to ask him to go back today. I didn't have time to tell you. Please tell your parents."
Xu Mo said disappointedly, "Ah, my brother-in-law is going back. I still have a lot of things in my heart that I haven't told him yet."
Xu Ning touched his head and said with a smile, "If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me at night. I also like to hear your thoughts."
