Xu Yang ate the food his brother and sister picked for him and asked, "Xiao Ning, is this venison? Can you still buy venison here?"
Before Xu Ning could speak, Xu An and Xu Mo started talking about Lu Xiaotang.
Xu An said, "Brother, these were all shot by Brother Lu in the mountains. You don't know how powerful Brother Lu is. He is very accurate in shooting pheasants and rabbits with stones. He also uses a lasso to snare sika deer and wild goats. He can even kill wild boars."
Xu Mo said, "Since Big Brother Lu came, we have more meat than we can eat. Big Brother Lu also said that he would take me to the mountains to hunt in the future. He also made a slingshot and a small wooden sword for me."
Then he took out the bullet necklace from his neck and showed it off, "And this one, this one is made of a bullet."
Xu Yang..., is it appropriate for you to praise others in front of your own brother like this?
Seeing that the two were talking endlessly, Xu Ning interrupted their chatter and told Xu Yang in detail about how Uncle Lu saved her and Xu An, and what happened when Lu Xiaotang came. Except for the fact that they were dating, she told the rest.
It was only mentioned in the letter before. Xu Yang knew there was such a person, but he didn't know there was such a connection.
It was already dark when they finished their meal. Xu Ning packed up some of the things Xu Yang had brought and asked him to take them to the cowshed. Xu An and Xu Mo took him there. She stayed at home to wash the pots and dishes and boil some hot water for them to use when they came back.
Xu Ning sat on the kang reading a book while waiting for them. It was almost ten o'clock when they came back. Xu Yang hugged Xu Mo, whose eyes were narrowed.
Xu Ning hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother, put Xiao Mo on the kang and I'll take off his clothes. There's hot water in the pot. You and Xiao An go wash up first."
Xu An helped to take off Xiao Mo's clothes and said, "Let Xiao Mo sleep over there, but he insisted on coming here, saying that he hadn't seen Big Brother for several years and wanted to talk to Big Brother at night! So I brought him here again."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "This kid is a clever little guy. He knows how to talk to people."
He tapped his nose again and said, "You're still a little flatterer."
Both of them laughed. Xu Mo, who was lying on the kang, opened his eyes dazedly, looked at the two of them, and said, "Sister, who are you calling a flatterer?" After that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The two who thought he was asleep looked at each other and laughed again. Xu Yang came in after washing up and asked, "What are you two laughing at? You look so happy."
Xu An smiled and told him what happened just now. Xu Yang laughed and said, "This kid has been smart since he was a child. When he was just over one year old, he cheated Xu Hui from his second uncle's family."
When talking about their second uncle, everyone fell silent. It was fine when their grandfather was alive, but as soon as their grandfather passed away, he listened to his mother and cut off the relationship with his eldest brother.
Xu Yang seemed a little depressed when he mentioned his second uncle. He was ten years older than his second uncle who was born to his step-grandmother. He often followed him to play since childhood and had a better relationship with his second uncle than his siblings. That was why he was so sad when his second uncle severed ties with his family.
Xu Ning comforted him, "Brother, family ties also depend on fate. It's better to cut off ties with people like that as soon as possible. We just need to live our own lives. There's no need to waste energy caring about unimportant people."
Xu Yang laughed after hearing this and said, "Xiao Ning is right, I was overthinking."
The next day after breakfast, several people were sitting on the kang and talking.
Xu Ning asked, "Brother, how long can you stay here this time?"
Xu Yang sighed and said, "Excluding the time on the road, we can only stay here for seven days."
Xu Ning also sighed. There was nothing you could do about the current traffic conditions. Half of your time would be spent on the road.
Xu Mo asked, "Brother, what do you do in the army? Are you an officer?"
Xu Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard his words. "Xiao Mo, I'm just a soldier. I was just promoted to platoon leader when I came here. I'm not a high-ranking official."
Xu Ning said happily, "Brother, you have only been in the army for three years and you have become a platoon leader?"
Xiao Mo also asked excitedly, "Is it the platoon leader or the deputy battalion commander? Brother Lu is the deputy battalion commander now. Brother, are you a higher official than Brother Lu?"
Xu Yang...Xiao Mo, did I offend you in any way? Since yesterday you have been in my heart.
Xu Ning hurriedly said, "Xiao Mo, my elder brother has been in the army for a short time and is younger than Brother Lu. Brother Lu has been in the army for several years."
Xu Mo nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Lu has been a soldier for five years, and you have only been for three years. You still have two years before you can become the deputy battalion commander."
Xu Yang, Xu Ning...Xu Mo, you are such an expert at hurting people's hearts, can we still have a good chat?
Xu Ning coughed and was about to speak when she heard screams coming from the Youth Farm. She prepared to go over and take a look. She put on her shoes and said to Xu Yang, "Brother, it should be the Youth Farm in front. I'll go over and see what happened. You and Xiao Mo can stay at home!"
Xu Yang also heard it and nodded, "Go ahead."
Xu Ning walked quickly into the Youth League compound and saw several male Youth League members pushing a cart out. On the cart was a person lying, covered with a quilt with only his head sticking out. It should be Li Fengjiao, followed by Lin Qiuhua and Lin Miao.
The remaining people were standing in the yard. Xu Ning walked over to Wei Lanlan and asked, "What's going on?"
When Wei Lanlan saw her, she pulled her into the house and said gossipingly, "Li Fengjiao fell down just now and said she had a stomachache. Lin Qiuhua and I helped her to the kang, but she screamed more and more miserably. Everyone was very scared and thought she had hurt her internal organs.
Lin Miao saw blood on her cotton pants and asked her if she was pregnant. Her face was pale and she didn't say a word. Finally, she was asked to be sent to the hospital. After everyone discussed it and decided that she might die, they went to the cowshed to find a cart to take her to the hospital first, and asked Ge Hongbin to call the village chief. ”
Xu Ning asked in surprise, "She is really pregnant, who is he dating?"
Wei Lanlan nodded and said, "Most likely. During the autumn harvest, she was often seen chatting and laughing with Chen Jianbing, the boss of the village accountants. Lin Qiuhua asked her if she was dating him and she said no, they just said hello when they met."
Wei Lanlan sighed and said, "If she is really pregnant this time, we in the Youth Institute will be ashamed."
Xu Ning knew that what Wei Lanlan said was right. People of this era were very conservative. If something like this happened, it would be a huge scandal and it would be known to everyone in no time.
Yang Xiaomei came in with her hands blown and saw Xu Ning. She asked, "When did you come? Why didn't I see you?"
Xu Ning smiled and said, "I just arrived, I saw you at the door so I didn't call you."
Wei Lanlan asked, "Who followed them?"
Yang Xiaomei sighed and said, "All the male educated youth went, and the female educated youths went to Lin Qiuhua and Lin Miao.
There was so much blood that I was scared to death. What do you think she was thinking? How to do this? If this gets out, how can she live her life? ”
