Xu Ning asked, "Did you run into Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang on your way back just now?"
"I met them at the entrance of the village. I had a chat with Grandpa Wang and Uncle Wang. I think Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang are in very good condition and look more energetic than before."
When Xiao Mo called him a few days ago, he told him that Uncle Wang had returned, so he was not very surprised when they met today.
Xu Ning smiled and sighed, "Yes, the son they have been waiting for for so many years is finally back. How could the two elders not be happy? Xiao Mo told me that they have been smiling so much recently."
After Lu Xiaotang finished eating the noodles, Xiao Mo and Niu Niu boiled the hot water.
"Brother-in-law, put the bowl here. Go take a shower quickly. I'll take you to the factory later."
"Xiao Mo, thank you for your hard work. You must be exhausted taking care of these three people during this period of time, right?"
Niupitang was a little unhappy when he heard his father say that.
The three of them were so well behaved, helping their uncle with work, so how could they have exhausted him? The three of them pouted unhappily.
Xiao Mo took a look at the three of them and felt that his nephews and nieces had grown up and were starting to care about their reputation, so he could no longer speak to them like he did when they were little.
I smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so well behaved! Since you came here, you have never given me any worries.
He plays with the children in the village all day long and is not naughty. Sometimes he even helps me with work. He is very hardworking. ”
Lu Xiaotang was a little bit unconvinced. If Tangtang was very well behaved, he would not be surprised. But what about those two boys? hehe.
He looked at Niu Niu and Pippi suspiciously, and when the two brothers saw their father's gaze, they puffed out their chests proudly.
Seeing the two brothers as proud as peacocks, Xu Ning burst out laughing.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi looked at her, and Pi Pi said unhappily, "Mom, why are you laughing? Don't you believe that we two brothers are very good?"
Seeing her son was angry, she hurriedly explained with a smile: "No, no, of course I believe you. I just choked on my saliva and laughed accidentally."
Lu Xiaotang glared at the two arrogant boys and asked, "How can you talk to your mother?
Does your mother need your consent before she can smile? See what you can do. ”
The two brothers instantly became timid and stood aside with their heads down, not daring to speak.
Xiao Mo glanced at the two cowards and chuckled.
Said to Lu Xiaotang: "Brother-in-law, go take a shower quickly."
Then he said to Niu Niu Pi Pi, "You two go wash the dishes, and later wash your dad's clothes and hang them up to dry."
The two brothers said obediently: "I know! Uncle."
After Lu Xiaotang packed up, he went to the factory with Grandpa Qi and Xiao Mo.
Originally Xu Ning wanted to go over and take a look, but her Fourth Aunt, the village head's wife, and a few aunts with whom she used to have a good relationship came over to play with her.
Several people were sitting in the yard talking, while Niu Niu and Pippi were sitting on small stools helping their father wash clothes.
The village head's wife sighed, "Xu Zhiqing, it's been almost four years since you returned to the city, right? Time flies by so fast."
Xu Ning smiled and nodded, "Yes, auntie, four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
I will never forget the days when I worked with you. We were so happy back then.
Especially when the food was distributed, my little An was so happy that he couldn't sleep the night before.
She asks me in her dreams, "Sister, will we have enough food this year?" ”
She smiled and shook her head, then added: "Thinking back to those days, although they were hard, they were fulfilling and full of hope."
Fourth Aunt said, "Who says it's not true? It's also because we have good conditions here. Whether it's coarse grains or fine grains, we can always fill our stomachs.
I heard that in some provinces in the south, people can't get enough food like we do here.
There is little land and a large population there, and the grain production is also low, so it's good enough to be able to eat half full. ”
Xu Ning said playfully: "So Xiao An and I are lucky to be assigned to our village as educated youth.
The food distributed every year and the products picked up in the mountains ensured that we had enough to eat, and sometimes even helped to subsidize my parents. ”
Several people also thought of Xu Zhiqing's parents and parents-in-law. They never imagined that they were Xu Zhiqing and Xiao An's relatives.
Aunt Guihua smiled and said, "Xu Zhiqing, you and Xiaoan are really amazing. People from our village live far away, so it's understandable that we didn't know about it. Could it be that no one in the Zhiqingyuan noticed it?"
The village head's wife said, "Xu Zhiqing and Xiao An never interacted with them on the surface, and Grandpa Qi was helping to cover for them. Who would have thought that they had this kind of relationship?"
Xu Ning also recalled that she and Xiao An used to do underground work to send food to their parents.
First they explore the way, then one person stands there to see if there is anyone around, and then the other dares to go out with the backpack on his back.
Even when it was snowing and icy, knowing that there would be few people around at night, one would still be very cautious for fear of causing trouble.
It's funny and sad to think that Xiao Mo knew how to exchange secret codes with her at such a young age.
Several aunts stayed here until it was almost dark before going back. When they came, they all brought chickens, eggs, and vegetables.
Xu Ning didn't bring anything with her this time. There were canned food that Xiao Mo brought from the factory at home, and she put a few of them in the backpacks of several aunts as return gifts.
