With a few fewer people at home, it felt empty. Xu Ning sighed and went into the house to see if Niupitang had woken up.
The three little ones were still sleeping soundly. She went to the kitchen to cook some porridge and fed them when they woke up.
Niupitang woke up and looked around. Usually, when they got up in the morning, someone would come to play with them, but today, only their mother was there.
Xu Ning saw the three of them looking everywhere and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for your uncle and aunt? They have gone back and will come to see you later."
It was not known whether the three children understood or not. Xu Ning put clothes on them, and Niu Niu and Pi Pi walked out. Tangtang also stretched out her hands to let her hold her and go out to look for someone.
Niu Niu and Pippi were not walking very steadily, and she was afraid that they would fall, so she hurriedly carried Tangtang and followed them out.
The two boys didn't see anyone outside, so they screamed twice at the door, but no one paid any attention to them, so they went back to hug Xu Ning's thighs.
"Niuniu, Pipi, let go of mommy, let's go eat, okay?"
When the two heard that it was time to eat, they let go of Xu Ning's thighs and walked towards the kitchen with giggles.
I put them in the cribs, let them hold on to the fence, washed their faces, and let Tangtang drink milk before feeding them.
Both boys had good appetites and were not picky about food. They crushed the boiled eggs and put them in the millet porridge, and they finished the whole bowl.
Tangtang saw her two brothers eating with relish and became very greedy too. Xu Ning also fed her a few bites. The full children were very obedient and sat on the crib playing with their toys.
She sat on the edge of the crib, reading a book and chatting with a few other children.
Xu An came back from get off work in the evening and looked very happy.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Xiao An, why are you so happy today? Is there something good?"
Xu An said excitedly: "Sister, our director talked to me today and said that I will be transferred to a regular employee next month."
Xu Ning was also very happy to hear that.
"Really? Xiao An, you are so capable. I am proud of you."
Xu An felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
"Sister, I'm not the only one. We entered together last year. This time there are ten vacancies for permanent employment. Versace and I were luckier and were selected."
"How can this be called good luck? This is the result of your own hard work, Xiao An, you are great."
In the evening, Xu's mother and Lu's mother came over and were very happy to hear the news.
Xu Ning saw the two of them coming together again and said, "Mom, the children don't want to be fed at night anymore, and the autumn harvest is coming soon. You can't rest well here at night. From now on, each of you can stay here for one night, and don't come together."
The two thought about it and decided that since they didn't have to feed the child at night and one person could take care of him here, they agreed.
When Xu Yang and Li Na returned to the Jinshi Military Region, they opened the two bags quickly to see if anything inside was damaged, without even washing up.
There were too many people on the train, and they were afraid of attracting attention, so the two bags were never opened.
Xu Yang first took out the dried rabbit meat and salted pheasant wrapped in oil paper and smelled them. Fortunately, they were not bad.
There was nothing to worry about as all that was left were some dried vegetables. Li Na also saw two kilograms of brown sugar and two kilograms of rock sugar in the bag containing the wolf skin.
Xu Yang looked at the huge pile of dried vegetables and mushrooms on the ground and said with a smile, "We'll keep some and take the rest to our parents and give some to our eldest and second brothers."
The two packed their things. Since Xu Yang was going to report to the army, he tied her things to her bicycle and let her go first.
Li's mother opened the door and saw that it was her. She asked happily, "When did you come back? Have you eaten? Where's Xu Yang?"
Li Na looked at her helplessly and said, "Mom, can you let me in first?"
Only then did Li's mother react and hurriedly asked her to push the car in and close the door.
Seeing the large and small bags on the car, he asked, "What are they filled with? Why are there so many?"
"Xiao Ning prepared some dried vegetables for you, mushrooms."
Li's mother opened the bag and saw what was inside. She asked in surprise, "So many dried vegetables, and even meat. Xu Yang's sister is quite generous. She's worth the kilograms of milk powder you bought."
"Mom, you are so harsh. You keep saying it over and over again just for those bags of milk powder. Do you think people brought you these things just for those bags of milk powder? They did it for their brother.
Xiao Ning lives a better life than us. Don't look down on her. Her husband is very capable. Xiao An also works in the factory and gets a salary every month. ”
Mother Li was scolded by her daughter. She curled her lips and said disdainfully: "How can a sent-down youth with that kind of background live a good life? He is better off than us."
Father Li put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Put away that contemptuous look on your face. If you do that again when Xu Yang comes, don't say that I criticized you."
Mother Li glared at him and continued to pack up the things Li Na brought.
