When I got home, I saw Xiao Mo playing with the toffee candy and Lu Xiaotang cleaning the fish. There were seven or eight of them, each weighing about half a pound.
Xu Ning asked with a smile: "Xiao Mo, you caught quite a lot today."
Xu Mo said excitedly: "Sister, I didn't go into the water today. I put the basket in the water and put some cakes in it, and the fish ran in by themselves."
"Then how do you want to eat? I'll make it for you later." Xu Ning asked for his opinion.
"Sister, why don't we make some soup? This fish is small and has many bones. If we make some soup, it will be as delicious as a piece of oxhide candy."
Lu Xiaotang also smiled and said, "There are a few crucian carps in here, which are very suitable for stewing soup. Let's do as Xiao Mo said!"
"Okay, I'll go get two handfuls of beans and go to the village to exchange them for some tofu. We'll have crucian carp and tofu soup tonight."
Xu Ning had just changed the tofu when he saw Aunt Dashuan and Jianmin coming back pulling a cart.
Aunt Dashuan saw her and greeted her warmly, "Xu Zhiqing, are you here to exchange tofu?"
"Auntie, Niupitang's father wants to take advantage of me, I came here to exchange some, what have you been doing?"
Xu Ning saw the two of them pulling a cart with farm tools on it.
"I went to take a look at the private plot. Xu Zhiqing, would you like to come over to our house and have a visit?" Aunt Dashuan invited.
"Aunt, I won't go. Niupitang's father is alone at home and can't take care of him."
When I saw Jianmin next to me, I remembered that he had gone to the machinery factory for an interview two days ago. I was busy these two days and forgot to ask Xiaoan whether he had passed the interview.
"Jianmin, how was your and Dalin's interview at the machinery factory? Did you pass?"
Jianmin smiled bitterly and said, "Xu Zhiqing, we only recruited five people in total, but eighty or ninety people showed up, and Dalin and I both failed."
Xu Ning thought for a while and said: "Jianmin, you are still young. Although you didn't pass the exam this time, you still need to study hard. The machinery factory is so big that they recruit workers every year.
If you don't pass this time, you will still have a chance next time, but if you forget all the knowledge, it will be more difficult to go for an interview in the future. ”
Aunt Dashuan and Jianmin both thought what she said made sense.
"Jianmin, listen to Xu Zhiqing. Read more books when you have free time. We can try again next time when there is a job opening."
"Mom, I understand. I won't abandon my knowledge."
Then he smiled and thanked Xu Ning: "Xu Zhiqing, thank you. Xiao An also said the same thing to me a few days ago."
Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Ning said goodbye to the two of them and hurried home.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the village, Lu Xiaotang came to pick her up on his bicycle.
"It's just a few steps away. Is it worth it for you to come and pick me up? Xiao An is back?"
Lu Xiaotang waited until she got in the car, then said with a smile: "Xiao An just came back and was cooking at home. Didn't you go to change the tofu? Why did you take so long?"
I met Aunt Dashuan and Jianmin, and had a conversation with them.
When the two returned home, they heard Xu Mo scolding Niu Niu in a serious tone.
"Niuniu, you are the eldest brother, how can you hit your younger brother? You should set a good example for them. Look at you, what have you done? You snatch toys and food from your younger brother, and today you even went too far by hitting your younger brother.
Look at me, your uncle. Although I am the youngest in the family, I am friendly to my brothers and sisters. I always leave the good things for them and cook their favorite food. I never think about myself.
Although they are not very sensible sometimes, I don’t mind it. After all, we are brothers and sisters from the same mother.
Niu Niu, you must learn from your uncle in the future, okay? Alas, you kids really make me worry. ”
She sighed and wiped his saliva with a towel.
Xu Ning found it very funny what she heard outside, so she took the tofu into the kitchen.
Seeing Xu An cooking and laughing, he must have heard what Xu Mo said.
Seeing her come in, he hurriedly said, "Sister, give me the tofu. The fish soup is almost done. Add the tofu and cook it for a few more minutes before eating."
Xu Ning was about to help light the fire when Lu Xiaotang came in and said to her, "You go inside to look at Niupitang. I'll light the fire."
"When the fish soup is ready, put it in a pot and send it to the cowshed. Also bring the red date buns I steamed this afternoon." She instructed the two of them as she went out.
"Okay, got it."
