Before Xu An had the day off to chop wood, the next day, Dalin, Jianmin and Fourth Aunt's second child came to help chop wood for a whole day.
The three of them had been busy all day and hadn't even had time to eat. Xu Ning felt bad about it, so he made some red date steamed buns and waited for Xu An to deliver them to the three families when he got off work.
Xu An came back and looked at the pile of firewood in the yard, and said with a smile: "At lunch today, Versace, Jin Dapeng and Uncle Hongdang all said they would come over to help chop firewood next week. Now we don't have to bother them."
"The three of them ran away after finishing their work. They didn't even have time to drink water, let alone eat. Please deliver the red date steamed buns I just made to them."
Xu Ning thought about how the boys had not been polite when he gave them food a few years ago. But now that they had grown up, they felt embarrassed.
The day of food distribution happened to be a Sunday, and Xu Ning and Xu An went to the village with Niupitang.
Ever since the three children learned to walk, they want to run outside every day and don’t want to stay at home for a moment.
Niu Niu and Pipi were very excited when they came out. They refused to let their uncle hold them and insisted on walking by themselves. Tangtang also followed behind their two brothers.
The three children were wearing cotton coats and trousers and walked unsteadily. Xu Ning and Xu An were afraid that they would fall, so they stood by and protected them. This was more tiring than carrying them.
When they arrived at the village warehouse, there were still many people queuing up, so Aunt Dashuan asked Xu Ning to take the children to her house to sit and wait.
But the children couldn't sit still at home, so Xu An and Jianmin took them to see the food distribution, where there were many people and it was lively.
Xu Ning was talking to Aunt Dashuan here.
"Xu Zhiqing, you have raised these children so well. They are plump and fair. Just wait for them to enjoy a good life in the future." Aunt Dashuan praised with a smile.
Xu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt, you are still enjoying yourself, you don't even know, I am almost going crazy because of these people.
As soon as they learned to walk, they thought about running outside to play every day. Now I don’t even dare to open the door. I keep it locked every day, for fear that these two kids will run out when I’m not paying attention.
"Now is the time to be craving for everything. It will be better when they grow up. In two years, they will be able to help you with work."
As the two were talking, the fourth aunt from next door came over and said with a smile as soon as she entered the door, "Xu Zhiqing, your three children are really adorable.
Xiaoan, Jianmin and Dalin were each holding one in their arms, watching the food being distributed. They were not shy at all when others teased them.
Xiao An asked them to call people, and they just shouted, Grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt, and his little mouth was very skillful. ”
"Aunt, my two boys are thick-skinned and love to talk. At home, as long as they are not asleep, their mouths are always busy.
If I ignore them, they can talk all day long and it really annoys me. So today, Xiao An happened to be at home, so I brought them out to play for a while. ”
The two aunts laughed when they heard her words.
When Aunt Dayong came in, she saw several people laughing happily: "Hey, I was wondering why you two old guys didn't go out to see the food distribution, it turns out that Xu Zhiqing is here!"
Xu Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Aunt, I am here to share the food as well. It is not my turn yet, so I will come and sit with Aunt Dashuan for a while."
Aunt Dashuan brought a stool for her to sit on and asked with a smile, "Have you distributed all the food in your family?"
"We just finished dividing the money. Dayong has been waiting there since early morning. Isn't it because the eldest brother's wife is pregnant? I have to go to the city this afternoon to bring them some food. The treatment in their factory is good, but the food is not as convenient as in our countryside."
Dayong's wife's tone was full of boasting.
Aunt Dashuan acted as if she hadn't heard anything and smiled, "You're going to be a grandmother again, and your son and daughter-in-law are so capable, it's your turn to enjoy happiness in the future."
Fourth Aunt also pretended to flatter: "That's right, look at our village, who has a better life than you, living in a big tiled house, and your son is a worker in the city, the good days are still ahead."
Xu Ning smiled as he watched the people flattering each other.
Dayong's wife sighed, "It doesn't matter whether we enjoy happiness or not, as long as the children live well, that's enough. My daughter-in-law sent me a message yesterday saying that she wanted to eat sauerkraut and asked me to pickle more this year.
I came here today to invite you. My family will pickle sauerkraut tomorrow, and I want you to help me. ”
After listening to her, Aunt Dashuan said with a smile, "I'm afraid it won't work this year. I've had back pain for a while and it hasn't gotten better.
My family hasn’t pickled the sauerkraut yet this year. My old man doesn’t let me do it, and says to let my second son’s wife pickle whatever she wants. It’s not a big deal to eat it at home. ”
Dayong's wife looked a little unhappy. The two families lived close to each other and had a pretty good relationship.
In the past, whenever she called, this old woman would go to help, but this year she was so disrespectful.
She smiled and said, "It's okay, then you take a good rest, I'll let Xiaolan help me pickle it."
After a few more words, Dayong's wife found an excuse to leave. Both Aunt Dashuan and Aunt Four curled their lips slightly.
After Xu Ning finished watching the show, it was getting late, so he smiled and said to the two aunts, "Aunts, it should be almost done. Let's go and have a look."
"Oops, I forgot to distribute the food. Let's go and check it out."
