The next day, the snow stopped and a thick layer of snow covered the ground. Xu Ning was clearing the snow under the eaves with a shovel, intending to pile the snow cleared here in the private plot. He also swept the door with a broom. After Xu An got up, he went straight to the kitchen to cook breakfast without any instructions. This kid basically made breakfast these days. Now he has learned how to cook millet porridge and rice porridge. He is very active in making breakfast every morning, including dumpling soup, corn porridge, rice porridge, and millet porridge. However, he only knows how to make these four things now, and he eats them in turn every day.
Xu Ning cleared the snow at the door, Xu An prepared the meal, and tidied up Xu Mo who had just got up. On the table were steaming millet porridge and the mustard greens that Jianmin brought a few days ago. The mustard greens were cut into shreds and mixed with sesame oil. It is best to eat them with porridge.
It was cold and there was thick snow on the ground. After breakfast, they walked outside the door for a while to digest the food and then went back to bed. Xu Ning sat on the bed and continued knitting her sweater, while Xu An was teaching Xu Mo to read.
Xu Ning heard the noise from the educated youths' camp, but she didn't pay any attention to it, as it had nothing to do with her.
But things are often like this. Things that you think have nothing to do with you still happen to find you.
The hero and heroine came over when Xu Ning was making lunch. The heroine was holding a bag of White Rabbit candy and a box. No one knew what was in it.
The hero stood next to her, making the heroine look petite and lovable. Xu Ning felt that the author of the original book did not exaggerate the heroine's appearance. If she were a man, she would want to hug such a charming beauty. Ahem, she was thinking too much. But why did the heroine's face look so red? Before Xu Ning could take a closer look, the heroine Lin Miao spoke.
"Xu Zhiqing, I'm here to apologize to you. I didn't look down on you because you were young that day. I just thought it was great that you came to the countryside at such a young age. I was really surprised at the time. Please don't be angry with me. This bag of candy is for your brother, and this scarf is for you."
Haha, I didn’t hear your apology at that time. Now after so long you say you will come to apologize to me, but I don’t believe you.
Xu Ning said with a wooden face, "Lin Zhiqing, I accept your apology this time. Please be more careful next time. You must remember that we are a brick of the revolution. We should be moved wherever we are needed. We are a flower of development. We should be planted wherever we can. Lin Zhiqing, your ideological awareness is not good enough! Think more before you speak next time! Take your things back! I won't see you off. Goodbye," he was really old-fashioned and stubborn.
Lin Miao... Lin Miao planned to directly state her purpose, but she didn't know where the topic would be led off to by such a stubborn person.
"Xu Zhiqing, I came to see you today for one more thing. I want to stay at your place for a few months. Don't worry, I won't live here for free. I'll leave my food here and give you ten yuan a month. What do you think?"
Xu Ning thought, you never come to my temple for no reason, and you even let me stay here. I must be crazy to let you stay here.
"Xu Ning squinted at her and said, "Lin Zhiqing, although I forgive you, I do not agree with your consciousness. I will not live with people who are not highly conscious. You should go back. I still have to cook." After that, Xu Ning went into the house.
She just saw clearly that there were slap marks on Lin Miao's face. It seems that the battle was quite intense! I don’t know who dares to hit the heroine, but no matter who it is? Xu Ning didn't plan to get involved. She didn't want to be cannon fodder.
Outside the house, the male protagonist looked at the closed door and said angrily, "Let's go to the village and ask who wants to live with her. Ten yuan a month, we can find a family like her in the village," and then he pulled Li Miao away.
"Wenping, you go back. I will go to the village to find the village chief by myself. Don't look for me anymore in the future," he said, and then ran away in pain, covering his face.
The male protagonist Gu Wenping was left there, holding Erkang's hand affectionately.
Xu Ning shook off the goosebumps on his body and decided to stay as far away from them as possible. Watching these two people was like watching an idol drama, the kind that had all kinds of spice added to it.
When Xu Ning walked into the kitchen, Xu An had already started to light the fire. She opened the lid of the pot and took a look. It was rice porridge. In the morning, it was millet porridge. At noon, it was rice porridge. When he cooked it again in the evening, it was either corn porridge or dumpling soup.
Xu Ning cut a bowl of the leftover braised dishes from yesterday. There was still half a pot of braised meat. The vegetarian dishes had been eaten, and he mixed a piece of shredded radish. The three of them finished their meal and were standing outside to digest the food when they saw Jianmin and his two companions running over from the village.
When the three of them came up to him, Xu Ning saw that everyone was holding something in their hands. "Xu Zhiqing, this is the soybean paste my mother asked me to get for you. She said you definitely didn't make it, so she asked you to put some in when you steamed eggs. The soybean paste my mother made is delicious," Jianmin said, and then he handed the soybean paste in his hand to Xu Ning.
Erdan said, "Xu Zhiqing, Xu An said that you didn't grow eggplants this year. My mother asked me to bring this here so that you can have an extra vegetable for the winter.
Dalin also gave the chili sauce in his hand to Xu Ning, "Xu Zhiqing, this is the chili sauce my mother asked me to give you. She said that you got your private plot late and didn't grow chili peppers. This chili sauce can be used for cooking, and it's also delicious with steamed buns."
Xu Ning held the things in her hand, her eyes warmed. She felt that although people nowadays were very poor, they were really simple and kind.
She took the things given by the three children and said happily, "Oh, you three brought them just in time. These are all my favorite foods. I said I would buy them next time I go to the city, but you guys brought them to me."
After listening to her, the three children were very happy. They felt embarrassed for eating so many delicious food yesterday. Xu Zhiqing also liked the food they brought today. The three children's eyes were shining.
Just like yesterday, the boys were all reading storybooks on Xu An's kang. Xu Ning was kneading dough in the kitchen. She planned to chop up yesterday's braised meat and mix it with cabbage and vermicelli to make some dumplings, and also make some steamed buns. She would just steam a few of them when eating.
"The lazy man in the village said that last night, Ergouzi sneaked into Widow Wang's kang while his wife was asleep. When his wife got up at night and didn't see him, she followed the footprints and found Widow Wang's house. His wife didn't say a word, but went home and called her two sons, who rushed in with sticks and blocked Ergouzi and Widow Wang on the kang. When Ergouzi and his wife lifted the quilt, Widow Wang's butt was exposed. The lazy man said that Widow Wang's butt was white, whiter than the whitest sow in the pigsty," Jianmin said mysteriously.
Xu Ning... Why does this naughty kid tell everything to others?
Cough, cough, Xu Ning deliberately coughed twice, and there was immediately no sound from the other end.
Xu Ning chopped up all the leftover pork head from yesterday, added a head of cabbage and a handful of vermicelli, mixed it into a large pot of stuffing, and steamed three large pots of dumplings before he was done. He also used the remaining flour to steam another pot of steamed buns.
Jianmin and the other three ate one each and refused to accept any more no matter how much Xu Ning offered them. When the three of them left, Xu Ning wrapped three for each of them in paper and took them back.
Xu An sent the three away and said to Xu Ning, "The roof of the school has been repaired. Jianmin and Dalin have to go to school tomorrow. They won't come to play anymore. Come back on Sunday."
"Xiao An, do you want to go this year?"
"Sister, I will go next year. I have already finished the third grade courses. I will go directly to the fourth grade next year."
Xu Ning took 20 steamed buns, put them in a basket, and asked Xu An to deliver it to Seventh Grandpa.
