When Xu Ning went to the city to ride his bicycle, he said to Su Hongying, "Sister Hongying, I may not be able to send you bed sheets often in the future.
My friend had some problems in his family and now he doesn't want to do this job anymore, saying it's too risky. ”
Although Su Hongying felt a little regretful, she was still open-minded. She had earned a lot of money in the past few years, and there was nothing she could do if the other party didn't want to do it anymore.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, it's okay. This kind of thing is risky. It's normal for people not to want to do it. Come and play with me when you have nothing to do. We can still be like before."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Sister Hongying, we have been getting along like sisters in the past few years. I will definitely come to see you more often in the future. Please don't find me annoying when the time comes."
"Why would I find you annoying? I was afraid you wouldn't come."
The two chatted for a while in the supply and marketing cooperative, and then Xu Ning rode back on his bike.
In recent years, a lot of bed sheets in the space have been sold, and Lu Xiaotang reminded her that day.
Xu Ning also felt that if so many bed sheets were sold in a small county town and were noticed by someone with ulterior motives, the source would be impossible to explain.
In the future, don’t sell the things in the space. There aren’t many left anyway, so just keep them for yourself!
When she came back from the city and passed by the Youth League Home, she heard someone talking inside, so she got off her bicycle and took a look inside.
Wang Juanjuan stood in the yard with a gloomy face, and her parents were helping her pack her things.
When Xu Ning saw that it was them, he rode away on his bike.
It was so cold that I felt like I was frozen to death when I came back from the county town.
As soon as I got home, I took off my cotton-padded jacket, poured a cup of hot water, and sat on the kang. Only then did I feel alive again.
When Xu Mo came over in the evening, the brother and sister sat on the kang, and Xu Mo told her gossip about the village.
"Xiao Wang's uncle got married yesterday, and his whole family went to the banquet.
His father drank too much and fell on his way back, knocking out one of his front teeth. When he got home, he was beaten up by Xiaowang's mother. He was beaten so badly that he was too embarrassed to go out today. ”
Xu Ning asked with a smile, "How did you know that? Who told you that?"
Xu Mo said, "My brother Xiaowang told me. Xiaowang said that although his father is a man of many talents outside, he is a henpecked man at home."
"Your brother needs to tell you all these things!"
"Yes, we have a very good relationship. Xiaowang, Sandan, Hammer and the others often bring me eggs to eat, and I also give them the delicious food I have.
But sometimes I would lie to them. For example, when I gave them the snacks and candies you bought for me, I would say that they were bought by Grandpa Qi.
Both Dad and Uncle Lu said that it was a white lie and it didn't matter. ”
Xu Ning praised, "Dad and the others are right, Xiao Mo Ke is really great."
After hearing his sister praising him like this, Xu Mo pursed his lips and turned on the radio.
The weather is good today, so Xu Ning packed the pickled wolf meat into bags. He gave half to Lu Xiaotang's uncle and his family, and half to Lu Xiaoran. Since Xu Yang didn't have time to cook, he sent him the dried wolf meat.
After doing all this, she sighed. Lu Xiaotang had been gone for more than half a month, and she didn't know where he was now.
She put the things in a large basket, tied it to her bicycle, put on her coat, and prepared to go into the city to mail them.
I went to visit Grandpa Wang again and gave him some food and vegetables.
The old couple are in very good spirits now. Grandma Wang even made two pairs of cotton shoes for her and Lu Xiaotang.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some pencils and exercise books for Xu Mo, as well as some lamp oil.
When he came out, he met Gu Wenping and Lin Miao, who were also there to buy things. Xu Ning greeted them and left.
Ever since Wang Juanjuan was taken away by her parents, the atmosphere in the Youth League Home has become much more relaxed and people are not so cautious when speaking.
The weather was cold and it was inconvenient for Wei Lanlan to go out with the children, so she often asked Xu Ning to come over to play.
She had nothing to do at home, so she often took needle and thread to the Youth League Home to talk to the two of them.
"Chunhua introduced a guy to her sister-in-law, who is from their village. Jiaohua agreed and they plan to get married at the end of the year. The date is set two days after Lin Qiuhua." Yang Xiaomei said to the two of them.
Wei Lanlan asked, "When was it decided? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Yao Xiaomei said, "Didn't Chunhua ask her aunt to come to our house for dinner a few days ago? It was during that visit, and the date was only set yesterday."
Xu Ning also asked, "Didn't she say before that she wouldn't look for someone in the countryside? Why did she agree now?"
Yang Xiaomei said, "They must have seen no hope of returning to the city! And they were frightened by what happened last time. Now the female educated youth in the Youth House either get married or go back to the city.
There are only her and Gu Wenjing left, and Gu Wenjing's cousin is here and can help if there is anything.
She was anxious and she was not a person with her own opinions. So she agreed after Chunhua's persuasion. ”
Wei Lanlan said, "This year, Lin Qiuhua and Jiaohua are getting married, so the Youth Academy will be much quieter."
Xu Ning thought, this year is only 1974, and there will be more educated youth coming later.
During dinner that night, Xu Mo picked up a piece of meat for her. She felt a little nauseous when she saw it, but she still forced herself to eat it.
She felt even more uncomfortable when she washed the dishes. She rubbed her stomach, wondering if she had eaten something unclean in the past two days.
She returned to the room and saw Xu Mo sitting at the table on the kang doing his homework.
Seeing her coming in, he smiled and said, "Sister, come up quickly. I will finish my homework soon. I will tell you a story later. I just heard it from Grandpa Qi."
Xu Ning sat there smiling as she watched him do his homework, when she suddenly felt something rising up in her throat. She immediately got off the bed and put on her shoes, but vomited before she even left the house.
Xu Mo saw that she had vomited, and his face turned pale with fear. He climbed off the kang without even putting on his shoes, and ran to her side, anxiously saying, "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?"
After Xu Ning finished vomiting, she felt a little better and smiled weakly at him, "It's okay, I might have a stomachache."
Xu Mo helped her onto the kang, cleaned up her vomit, closed the door and ran to the cowshed.
After a while, Xu's father and mother, Lu's father and mother, all four of them came over quietly.
Several of them are experienced people, and Mr. and Mrs. Lu have worked in the hospital for a long time.
After listening to Xu Mo's description of Xu Ning's symptoms and calculating the days, he felt that he should be pregnant.
Xu Ning saw that everyone had come over and asked, "Dad, Mom, why are you all here?" I'm fine. Maybe I ate something wrong and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. ”
Mother Lu smiled and said, "We have nothing to do tonight, so we came to see you. Come, let me feel your pulse."
Mother Lu felt her pulse and nodded to the others with a smile.
Then he smiled at Xu Ning and said, "Xiao Ning, you are pregnant. It has been more than a month."
Xu Ning asked in surprise, "Ah! I'm pregnant?"
No wonder she had no appetite these days and her period didn’t come this month, but she didn’t think about it.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her and laughing, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
A few people also noticed it, so Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu went back first.
Xu Ma and Lu Ma discussed with her that they would take turns to accompany her every night.
Xu Ning said hurriedly, "Mom, no, I'm fine. Besides, it's too much trouble for you to come here every day. It won't be good if someone finds out."
Xu Mo said from the side, "Mom, Aunt Lu, you two don't have to come, I'm here, I can take care of my sister."
The two thought about it and felt that what the siblings said made sense. It was inconvenient for them to run here every day.
Besides, she has just gotten pregnant, so there is nothing to worry about. When the baby is further along in the pregnancy, we can take turns to look after her.
