Xu Ning seldom went out since she became pregnant. The weather was too cold and the roads were slippery. During this period, it was Dad Lu and Dad Xu who helped her fetch water in the evening when no one was around.
Xiao Mo has also started to learn how to cook from her, and now he can make corn porridge.
When Xu Ning got up this morning, he had already prepared the meal and boiled eggs, and there was a bowl of pickled cucumbers on the table.
Seeing that she got up, he immediately scooped a bowl of corn porridge for her and peeled the eggs and put them in her bowl.
She said happily, "Sister, can you try the porridge I made? Is it delicious?"
Xu Ning looked at his well-behaved appearance, picked up the bowl and took a sip, praising him, "The porridge is really delicious, almost as good as your second brother's! Xiao Mo is really capable, he can even cook!"
Xu Mo's eyes sparkled with praise, and he picked up another piece of cucumber and put it in her bowl.
Said, "Sister, please eat some vegetables. I don't know how to cook yet. When I learn, I will cook for you every day."
Xu Ning looked at him and smiled gently, "Okay, then I'll wait for Xiao Mo to cook for me from now on."
Xu Mo nodded heavily.
On Saturday afternoon, when Xu An came back, he was extremely happy to hear that Xu Ning was pregnant.
He didn't go anywhere on Sunday and just stayed at home teaching Xiao Mo to cook some simple meals.
This boy is very smart. He learned how to make dumpling soup and stir-fry Chinese cabbage in just one day. Although the taste is not very good, he can cook them well.
Xu An asked him to practice more this week and planned to teach him more complicated dishes when he came back next week.
When the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, Xu Mo's school was also on holiday. He stayed at home with Xu Ning every day. When it was time for dinner, he went to the kitchen to cook. Because he was not tall enough, he stood on a small stool.
Xu Ning didn't let him cook, and he was not happy about it. He asked his sister if she disliked the food he cooked.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she just let him do it.
After dinner, the brother and sister opened the door and looked outside. It looked like it was going to snow again.
Xu Mo sighed and said, "It's so cold today. I'm afraid my second brother won't be able to come back today."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the back door, and then Xu An's voice was heard, "Sister, I'm back."
Xu Mo quickly ran over to open the door. Xu An outside was wearing a large cotton coat and carrying a bag.
He shouted happily, "Second brother, I thought you wouldn't be back today, come in quickly."
Xu An was almost frozen to death, so he hurried into the house, put down his luggage and took off his coat.
Xu Ning made him a bowl of brown sugar water, and Xu Mo held his hands and rubbed them for him.
He drank some water, sat on the kang, and then said to the two of them, "We are also on vacation. It's too cold this year, and many students didn't go to class, so the teacher asked us to come back to review."
Xu Ning asked, "What about Dalin and Jianmin?"
"The whole school was released. I came back with Wang Liang, Jianmin, and Dalin."
Xu Ning nodded and said, "It's good to have a holiday. I can study at home. It's so cold, and it's not hard enough to stay in school."
Xu Ningmo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Second brother, since you are not going to school, I will leave the cooking to you. I still think the food you cook is delicious."
Xu An smiled and said, "Xiao Mo, I'm on vacation now, so I'll take this opportunity to teach you how to cook a few dishes."
Xu Mo said anxiously, "Second brother, why should I learn how to cook? I'm not going to be a chef. It's enough for us to have you as the only one who knows how to cook."
"Xiao Mo! I will go to the county town to study next year, and you have to stay at home to take care of my sister. If you don't practice your cooking skills now, my sister will be starved by you.
When I came back this time, I felt that my sister was thinner than before. ”
Xu Mo quickly turned around to look at Xu Ning and asked in surprise, "Has our sister lost weight? I think she's about the same as before!"
Xu An said, "That's because you two are together every day, so I didn't notice it. I haven't seen her for half a month, and I think her face has become a lot smaller."
Xu Mo stood up, walked to Xu Ning, held her face with his two little hands and looked at her for a long time.
Then he said to Xu An, "Second brother, is there something wrong with your eyes? My sister is obviously fatter than before, her face is rounder, but you said she is thinner.
I have been feeding my sister very well during this period, cooking different kinds of food for her every day. ”
Xu An...
Xu Ning smiled as he watched the two brothers trying to figure out who to cook for.
Finally, Xu Mo was convinced. Thinking that his second brother would go to school next year and he would have to cook for his sister, he wanted to learn a few more dishes so that he could change up the recipes.
Wei Lanlan saw that she hadn't been to the Youth League Home for a long time, so she came to see her and found out that she was pregnant.
"Why didn't you tell us? I could come to see you too."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "How could you leave? It's so cold, your little fat boy is still small, and my little sister has a big belly, so I didn't tell you."
Wei Lanlan asked, "Is your baby making trouble this time? Can you eat?"
"It's okay. I felt a little nauseous in the first few days, but now I'm fine and can eat and sleep."
"Then you have a considerate person in your stomach, unlike my little fat boy, who made me suffer so much that I could only eat with the spicy cabbage you gave me."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Your little fat boy is so well behaved now. He eats and sleeps all day without crying or making a fuss. He is so cute."
The two of them had a conversation here, and Chen Xiangdong called her over there, saying that Xiaopang was looking for her everywhere.
Wei Lanlan smiled and said, "You just praised him for being well behaved, but now he's making trouble again. I'll go back first, and I'll come play with you after he falls asleep."
"Go back quickly. It's cold. Don't run here. Take good care of Xiao Pang at home."
At the end of the year, Xu Ning received a letter and remittance slip from Lu Xiaotang. He was relieved to know that he had completed his mission and returned to the Nanshi Military Region.
I wrote him another letter and told him the news of my pregnancy.
In the kitchen, Xu An and Xu Mo were preparing things for the New Year.
After two months of devilish training from Xu An, Xu Mo's cooking skills have improved a lot.
Especially his favorite tofu balls and potato pancakes, which were quite good.
This kid finds an excuse to cook it every few days. He says that his second brother has worked hard to teach him cooking, so he makes tofu balls to reward him.
My little nephew in my sister's belly wanted to eat potato pancakes, so I made some for him to try.
Anyway, it was never him who wanted to eat it, it was always others who wanted to eat it, and he just followed suit and tried it.
When Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei got married, she gave each of them a red scarf.
Jiaohua thought it was beautiful, so she asked Wei Lanlan to come over and ask her where she bought it. She also wants to buy a wedding scarf.
Xu Ning said that she asked someone to bring it back from the south, and she didn't know if it was still available. If she wanted to buy it, she could only go to the southern province to look.
After hearing these words, Jiaohua became very angry and said that Xu Ning didn't want to tell her where he bought it.
Xu Ning didn't bother to care about her emotions. To her, she was just an unimportant person.
When it was time for Lin Qiuhua and Jiaohua to get married, Xu Ning and his sister did not go.
The wedding was a very simple one. Sun Hao and Chen Xiangdong went to the Youth League Institute to take a look, had a meal there and then came back.
The three siblings had the New Year's Eve dinner together. Two days ago, Xu's father and his family said that they would not be allowed to go over to pay New Year's greetings tonight.
I was afraid that Lin Miao would go to the cowshed to deliver something again, and it would be troublesome if we met each other then.
Xu Ning sighed and thought, this Lin Miaoke is really persistent. In the past few years, others have obviously rejected her kindness, but she keeps sticking to them again and again. I really don't know what to say.
