She then said to Xu An, "Xiao An, go to the village and talk to Aunt Dashuan and Aunt Si, and ask them to come here tonight to help take care of the child.
Then tell Dalin Jianmin and the Red Party that we are going into the city this afternoon and ask them if they want to go with us. ”
Xu An nodded and prepared to go out. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister, let me talk to Hu Cheng and the others. We can all go together today. They are not short of money and can stay in a guesthouse."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead and tell them that we will leave after lunch. If they want to go with us, they should prepare in advance."
Not long after Xu An left, Lin Miao came again, also asking Xiao Mo to help look after the child.
Xu Ning sighed in his heart, smiled and said to her: "My brother is too young, there are three of us in my family, and he can't take care of so many children by himself.
My Grandma Wang is old and can only help with cooking. She really can’t take care of children.
Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei both asked the village aunties to help take care of them. Why don’t you go ask around in the village and give them some things? There should be someone willing to help. ”
It’s not that Xu Ning is unkind. With so many children together, if there is a slight bump or two, it will be hard to explain.
Her Niu Niu and Pippi are both naughty and love to fight, and Lin Miao's little Apple is very spoiled. She can't afford it if anything happens.
Although Lin Miao was a little unhappy after hearing this, she also understood that what Xu Ning said was the truth. Xiao Mo was not very old, and it was indeed impossible to take care of so many children.
"Okay, Xu Zhiqing, I'll go to the village and ask."
Xu Ning smiled and saw her out.
Xu An didn't come back until dinner time.
Xu Ning said that they would wait for him to come back and eat together. Xu Mo waved her hand and said, "Sister, there is no need to wait for Second Brother. He is either eating at the village head uncle's house or at Aunt Dashuan's house. He won't starve."
Just after they finished their meal, Aunt Dashuan and Aunt Four came over with a small bag, which contained tiger-head shoes and a tiger-head hat made for Niupitang.
Aunt Dashuan said, "Xu Zhiqing, Xiao An asked me to tell you that they have gone to Wang Liang's house and will be back soon. I asked you to pack your things first and go to the county town when they arrive."
Xu Ning tried the tiger-head shoes and hat on Niupitang and found that they fit perfectly.
The three children were reluctant to take them off and jumped around on the kang.
"Aunt, thank you so much for making it for the three of them every year." Xu Ning took the two aunts and thanked them.
Fourth Aunt smiled and patted her hands and said, "Xu Zhiqing, we should thank you. You have helped us a lot in the past two years.
In winter, you contacted us to sell cabbage and radishes, and now you have introduced such a good thing to our two families. We don’t know how to thank you. ”
Aunt Dashuan also laughed and said, "Old Fourth is right, Xu Zhiqing, compared to how good you are to us, what's the point of us doing some needlework for the children?"
Xu Ning also said straightforwardly: "Look at what the two aunts said, then I won't be rude to you."
"That's right." Aunt Dashuan asked again, "Xu Zhiqing, Jianmin will go to the city with you today. Can your relative's house accommodate him?"
Sitting on the kang, Grandma Wang smiled and said, "There is enough room. Both rooms in my house have kangs. Seven or eight people can sleep on one kang."
When Aunt Dashuan and Fourth Aunt came just now, Xu Ning introduced them to each other.
Aunt Dashuan hurriedly thanked Grandma Wang, "Aunt Wang, thank you so much for your trouble!"
My grandmother said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. My old man likes to be in a lively place. He will be so happy if they go."
Several people were sitting on the kang and talking when Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei came over with their children and some food.
Niupipitang saw Xiaopang, Xiaoya, and Xiaoyu all stood up from the kang excitedly.
Niu Niu said: "Fat brother, my mother said you have to sleep at my house today, right?"
Xiaopang held Xiaoyu and Xiaoya's hands and nodded shyly. Xu Ning was happy to see the boy's expression.
Xiaopang is very sensible, but easily shy, like a girl, completely different from the two shameless kids in their family.
Xu Ning carried Xiaopang, Xiaoya, and Xiaoyu to the kang and let them play together.
The six children making more noise on the kang than a hundred ducks.
Yang Xiaomei said to Aunt Dashuan and Aunt Si: "Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you for the next two days."
The two aunts smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. You guys can go and take the exam without worry. We will take good care of the child here."
Wei Lanlan also smiled and said, "Grandma Wang, two aunts, the child is young and will definitely be a little noisy at night. I'm sorry to have to trouble you these two days."
He then placed the food, eggs, and some meat on the table and said, "Cook these to nourish your body."
The two aunts wanted to refuse, but Xu Ning stopped them and said with a smile, "Aunts, they have already brought the food, so you can stay and eat. Don't be polite with them."
Aunt Dashuan and Fourth Aunt then stopped refusing, and Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei also breathed a sigh of relief. They were really not used to this kind of push and push.
