It was December in a flash, and there were two light snowfalls. Xu Ning basically never left the house except for fetching water. Her two children were reading picture books and writing at home, so she read books and made clothes.
She is going to the city today to get some things out of the space. Yesterday, she went to the village to grind flour and heard from the villagers that it would snow heavily in the next two days. The mountains would be closed due to the snow. Many people from the village also went to the city to buy things in the next two days.
After breakfast, Xu Ning put on his coat and set off on his bicycle. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Old Chen driving a ox cart into the city. Most of the people on the ox cart were from the educated youth point. Most of the people in the village walked there. The weather was cold, so walking was warmer and they could save a few cents to buy some candy for the children.
Xu Ning rode her bicycle past quickly. Wei Lanlan on the ox cart wanted to call her but before she could open her mouth, Lin Qiuhua, who was sitting next to her, sneered and said, "You're just trying to get close to them. Do you think they will pay attention to you?"
Wei Lanlan said, "I have nothing to be eager about. It's just a normal relationship. I'm not like some people who just want to take advantage of others, bully them because they are young, withhold their food, and force their two children to go out and build a house to live alone."
The educated youth in the car looked at each other in confusion, none of them knew that this had happened. They only knew that the brother and sister who lived in the house at the back didn't interact much with the people at the educated youth site.
Lin Qiuhua was furious and said, "Who are you talking about? Who withheld their food? Who forced them to move out and build a house? It was obviously them who wanted to move out and live on their own."
Wei Lanlan looked at her sarcastically and said, "I didn't mention anyone by name, so why are you feeling guilty? Whoever did it knows it."
After saying that, without even looking at her, he smiled and said to Yang Xiaomei who was sitting next to him, "Tell me, Xu Zhiqing's short legs can't even reach the pedals of a bicycle, how can he pedal so fast?" Yang Xiaomei laughed when she thought of the way Xu Ning's butt was twisting left and right just now.
Xu Ning didn't know about the lawsuit on the ox cart, and she wouldn't care much even if she knew. She had already arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. There were a lot of people at the supply and marketing cooperative today. She didn't say hello to Su Hongying, she just bought something and left.
When riding back, her hands were frozen. Xu Ning didn't plan to go into the city again in the near future. When she was almost at the door, she took out the things she had prepared from the space.
Xu An and Xu Mo were sitting on the kang roasting pine nuts. When Xu Ning came in, Xu Mo called out, "Sister, come quickly. My second brother and I have peeled all the pine nuts for you and are waiting for you to come back and eat them."
Xu Ning saw a plate of peeled pine nuts on the kang and instantly felt less cold. She took off her shoes and sat on the kang. Xu An poured her a cup of hot water and asked her to warm her hands.
In the afternoon, Jianmin, Dalin and Erdan came to play with Xu An. Xu Ning gave them two candies each and ignored them. When she was bored, she would take out her junior high and high school textbooks to read. Although she attended a 985 university before she traveled through time, there were still seven or eight years before the college entrance examination. If she didn't review, she was afraid she would forget everything by then.
The children played and quarreled on the kang for the whole afternoon. Before they left, Xu An came over and said to Xu Ning, "Sister, Jianmin and the other two said that it will snow heavily soon, and they are afraid that they won't be able to come and play with me then, so they want to borrow some picture books to read."
Xu Ning smiled and touched her head, saying, "Xiao An, that album was bought by me for you and Xiao Mo. Jianmin and the others are your friends. If you want to lend it to them, just lend it to them. You don't need to ask me."
Xu An nodded happily and said, "Thank you, sister," and then she ran to talk to Jianmin and the others. Her sister agreed and told him to make the decision, and then she heard the laughter of several children.
