The next morning, Xu Ning had just gotten up when Zhao Jianshe came over on a bicycle. They both thought something had happened.
Lu Xiaotang quickly brought him a bowl of water and asked him to drink it: "Brother Jianshe, why are you here now? Is there something wrong?"
"Xiaotang, your chief called our bureau early in the morning and asked us to tell you to return to the troops immediately."
Lu Xiaotang knew that since there was no time to send a telegram this time, there must be some urgent task.
He made a decision immediately and said to Zhao Jianshe, "Brother Jianshe, please wait for me for a few minutes. I will ride your bike to the city."
Then he said to Xu Ning with guilt: "Xiao Ning, I have to leave again."
Xu Ning nodded with red eyes, and hurriedly packed some food for him while he packed his luggage.
Niupitang was still sleeping. Lu Xiaotang stood there watching him for a long time before he walked out with his luggage.
Xu Ning packed a small bag for him, which contained some biscuits and medicine.
He walked over and hugged her, wanting to say something, but apart from guilt, everything he said at this moment seemed pale.
He couldn't help her share the burden at home, and now that he was gone, all the burden fell on her alone.
Xu Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm at home. You must be careful when you are outside. The children and I will be waiting for you to come back home."
Only when she saw the person walking away did her tears fall.
When Xu Mo came over, he saw that her eyes were red, but he didn't see Lu Xiaotang.
With a dark face, he asked, "Sister, did my brother-in-law bully you? Where is he? I'll go and help you deal with him."
Xu Ning was originally very sad, but when he heard his words, he couldn't help laughing again. At such a young age, he knew how to stand up for his sister.
Xu Ning held him in his arms and rubbed his head again: "Xiao Mo, your brother-in-law didn't bully me. He had something to do in the army and has already returned."
"What? Gone?" he said in surprise.
"My poor little bastard, your dad has only been here for a few days and he left again. How could you end up with such an unreliable father? You can only count on your uncle to love you in the future!"
After saying that, he shook his head and went into the house.
Xu Ning...
When Niupitang woke up, he didn't see his father. It was his uncle who was dressing them.
Ever since Lu Xiaotang came back, he dressed them, undressed them, and took them out to play. The three children have become accustomed to their father's care.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi sat on the kang and shouted, "Dad, Dad."
Tangtang also shouted along with her two brothers.
As Xu Mo dressed them, he sighed, "Stop shouting! Your father has gone out to earn money. He will buy you meat with the money he earns."
The three children put on their clothes and went to the yard to look for it. They also went to the kitchen and Xu An's room.
Xu Ning felt very sad watching him calling out for his father while searching for him.
When spring planting was over, everyone was busy going up the mountain to collect mountain products and chop firewood.
Their Xu An had to go to work, and she had to take care of the children, so she could only watch others pick up the things home.
Xu An didn't go to work on Sunday, and wanted to go into the mountains as soon as he got up in the morning.
Xu Ning asked him to look after the child at home while she went to pick it up. When no one was around, she could use the space cheat method, which made it much faster.
"Sister, you look so excited when we talk about going up the mountain." Xu An couldn't help but complain when he saw her leaving with the backpack.
He also wanted to go, but he couldn't win over his sister, so he had to accept his fate and stay at home to take care of the children.
Xu Ning arrived early and there were not many people on the mountain. She picked up anything edible she saw and put it into the space.
Xu An was at home, so he still had to carry it back a few times to pretend.
The things in the space will be taken out bit by bit when he gets to work.
Except for meal time, she picked up things all day long.
Xu An asked her to rest at home for a while and they could switch places, but she refused.
In the evening, when Lu Ma and Xu Ma came, they brought two more baskets.
"Mom, you don't have much there, why did you carry it here? I picked up a lot today, enough for us to eat."
Xu Ning looked at the pile on the ground and felt a little proud. He became even happier when he thought of the things in the space.
"We still have quite a lot over there. Your dad and his friends know that you can't go up the mountain this year, so they go up the mountain early every day to pick some up."
"There is so much dew in the morning. Tell my dad and his family not to go out in the morning. This is enough for us to eat."
Xu Ning reminded them worriedly that they should wear cotton clothes now. Although it hasn't snowed yet, there is white frost in the morning and evening. It will be very cold to go to the mountain so early! All the cotton clothes and trousers will be wet.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "No need to pick it up. Let them chop some firewood and send it over in a couple of days."
During this period, Lu Xiaotang has already chopped a lot of firewood, but thinking about having several children, he decided to prepare more.
Xu An smiled and said, "Aunt Lu, tell my dad and Uncle Lu not to help with the chopping. They've been tired these past few days. I'll go up the mountain and chop for a day next week."
"Mom, just listen to Xiao An."
The grain tax is due soon. Dad Xu and Dad Lu have been helping to move grain in the warehouse these days. They are exhausted during the day, but they still have to squeeze out time to help them collect mountain products and chop firewood.
The brother and sister felt very distressed and did not allow them to go.
