Xu Ning had just finished lunch and coaxed Niupitang to sleep when Xu Yang and Li Na came back.
"Brother, didn't I ask you to take my sister-in-law to have a good time in the city for a day? Why are you back so early?"
Xu Yang looked at Li Na helplessly and said with a smile, "I took her around the city for a while, but she said it was boring and it would be better to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables."
Li Na smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, don't blame your brother. It was me who said I wanted to come back. I think it would be a pity not to pick up so many wild vegetables in Daqing Mountain. I will go to the mountain with your brother this afternoon and pick up some wild vegetables to eat."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go cook for you. You can go after you eat."
Xu Yang said, "Don't worry, we just ate in the city."
Xu Ning gave them backpacks and tools for digging wild vegetables, and the two of them went up the mountain.
Li Na seemed to be addicted and would run to the mountain twice a day. The two of them would sometimes dig some wild vegetables and hunt pheasants and rabbits.
Xu Ning wanted them to take all the pheasants and rabbits with them when they left, but the weather was too hot and it would take four or five days on the road, so the animals would definitely go bad.
Li Na has parents and two brothers at home, so she can't let them go back empty-handed, but there are really no mountain products at this season.
She salted the rabbit, cut it into thin strips, and then slowly dried it. Although it was a bit troublesome, it would not go bad on the way.
Just marinate the whole pheasant, make it a little salty, then dry it in the sun for two days, and leave it for four or five days, it should be fine.
Ten days passed in a flash, and the two of them were going back to the army tomorrow. In the evening, the family sat together and talked.
Xu Ning and Xu An prepared things for the two to take back.
She gave them some of the mushrooms and dried wild vegetables she picked in the mountains in the spring, as well as the dried eggplants and beans she dried, so that they could share them when they go back.
When Xu Yang first came, Aunt Dashuan knew that he liked to eat soybean paste, so she asked Jianmin to bring him a jar and let him take it all away.
After all the miscellaneous items, they still packed two large bags. There was still some space in the bag containing the wolf skins, so Xu Ning took out two kilograms of brown sugar and two kilograms of rock sugar and put them in the bag.
Xu Mo and Li Na were playing with each other, while Xu's father and mother were telling Xu Yang to be nice to Li Na and to be filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he returned home.
Xu Ning walked over and sat down next to Li Na, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother can come over to play when you are free in the future.
My brother is a straightforward person. If he does something wrong, don't take it to heart, so as not to get angry. ”
Xu Mo also said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is not very good at talking. If he makes you angry, just write to us and tell us. I am still young and cannot beat him. I cannot help you vent your anger, but I will let my parents deal with him."
Li Na looked at the two of them with amusement.
"Do you two have any misunderstandings about your brother? Your brother is very steady in the army and is good at talking. The leaders think highly of him. He also has a good personality and never gets angry with me."
Xu Ning and Xu Mo looked at each other and saw how much dog food they were showing off. What do you call this? Mind your own business?
Li Na looked at the expressions of the two people and realized that what she had just said was a bit inappropriate, as if she had taken other people's kindness for something else.
Then he pretended to be touched and said, "Okay, I get it. If I quarrel with him, I will tell you and let you vent my anger for me."
Xu Ning, haha!
Xu Mo, hehe! !
They returned to the house, and Li Na smiled and told him what Xu Ning and Xu Mo had just told her.
Then he asked with a smile, "How do you usually act as a big brother at home? Why do they all think you are unreliable?"
Xu Yang also smiled helplessly, "I just like to joke with them at home, who knew they thought I was a straight-talking person.
No wonder Xiao Mo wrote to me, giving me instructions like an old mother. I thought he was just a worried little chatterbox, but I didn’t expect he was really afraid that I would make a mistake. ”
Li Na said, "Your brothers and sisters are all very good and loyal, which is rare."
Xu Yang smiled and said, "Yes, we have been close since we were young. Before I joined the army, Xiao An and Xiao Ning were my followers, following me wherever I went.
At that time, Xiao Mo was only two years old, and we didn't like to take him with us. This kid was very smart. When he saw that we were going out, he held on to my legs and refused to let go.
My older brothers and sisters shouted so sweetly and were very good at complaining. If we didn’t take him with us, the three of us would definitely be scolded when we came back. ”
Li Na sighed, "Xiao Mo is really smart. When I was a kid, I wanted to go out and play with my brothers, but they never took me with them. Why didn't I think of this trick at that time? It would have been great if I had met Xiao Mo earlier."
Xu Yang looked at her with amusement, without even thinking about how old you are and how old Xiao Mo is. Are you two the same age?
