When she got home, she went to the cellar to get some food. When Xu Yang saw her coming back, he asked, "What happened?"
Xu Ning briefly described the events of the Youth Home.
Xu Yang nodded, and after a while, he casually said, "Xiao Ning, you are still young, there is no need to rush to find a partner."
After hearing this, Xu Ning turned his head uncomfortably and said, "Brother, I understand."
When cooking at noon, Xu Yang also went to the kitchen to help. Xu Ning was cutting vegetables and asked him to get a piece of meat from the jar. He opened the big jar and found that the venison cut into pieces filled almost half of the jar. He also opened the lid of the jar next to it, which contained mutton. He asked, "Xiao Ning, are these all hunted by Brother Lu in the mountains?"
"He picked them all. He said they wouldn't spoil easily in winter, so he stored some. It's enough for us to eat for the whole winter."
Xu Yang was a little jealous and asked, "Are there really so many prey on this mountain? I'll go check it out tomorrow."
Xu Ning saw that he really wanted to go, but she was not convenient these two days and did not dare to stay in the mountain with him for several hours.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother, if you want to go, wait until Sunday and go with Xiao An. The mountains are covered with snow now, and you are not familiar with the environment here. I am worried about you going alone."
Xu Yang agreed. He would go back next Monday, so he and Xiao An could go to the mountain on Sunday.
Xu Ning went to the Youth Home on the day Li Fengjiao got into trouble, and he hardly went out in the past two days.
Not long after lunch in the afternoon, Wei Lanlan and Chunhua came to play with her.
Xu Ning took the two of them to sit on the kang in her room and brought a plate of pine nuts. They ate and chatted, "Why didn't Xiaomei and Jiaohua come to play?"
Chunhua said, "My aunt is afraid of the cold and doesn't want to go out. She is making shoes for my grandparents in the house."
Wei Lanlan smiled and said, "I was chased out by Sun Hao. He said that my younger sister rarely goes out and he had no chance to talk to her, so he asked me to go out and play for a while to give him a chance."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Sun Hao hasn't convinced me to be his revolutionary comrade yet!"
"She was about to agree, but Li Fengjiao got into trouble this time and scared her. Now she's starting to hesitate again."
Xu Ning asked, "What happened to Li Fengjiao later?"
Wei Lanlan sighed, "She hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. I heard that she won't be able to have children in the future. Chen Jianbing is quite responsible and promised to marry her, but she doesn't seem to be happy about it.
Yesterday, Chen Jianbing's mother went to the hospital to see Li Fengjiao. The two of them closed the door and talked for a long time. Lin Qiuhua said that after Chen Jianbing's mother left, Li Fengjiao's complexion looked better, which seemed to indicate that she agreed to their marriage. ”
Chunhua said, "We can't have children anymore. Even if we get married, there will be conflicts in the future. This person really can't make any mistakes!"
Xu Ning just smiled when she heard it. Although she would not gloat over other people's misfortune, she did not have the slightest sympathy. Although the original owner's death could not be blamed entirely on her, she could not escape responsibility. It seemed that God was still fair, and people always had to pay the price for the evil things they had done.
After finishing this heavy topic, the few of them started chatting again.
Wei Lanlan asked, "Xu Ning, several people from the Youth Institute are going back to visit their families this year. You've been here for almost three years, right? Do you want to go home this year?"
When Xu Ning heard her ask this, he knew that what Xu Yang and Xu An said to the village chief had not yet reached the Youth League Home. Well, it was winter and no one went up the mountain, and the people in the Youth League Home and the villagers rarely interacted, so who would come here specifically to gossip?
Xu Ning sighed, and began to make up stories, saying how she and her brother responded to the country's call and signed up to go to the countryside without telling their families, and how their parents were still angry at home.
Afraid of being beaten if I go back, I plan to wait until we are older and my parents have calmed down before going back to visit. The most important thing now is to contribute to the countryside, and everything else can be put off until later.
Seeing the two of them staring at her in amazement, Xu Ning suppressed her laughter and said, "My parents are angry with us and worried about us, so they asked my brother and cousin to come visit us often.
I had planned to ask my cousin to persuade us to go back this year, but my brother and I refused to go back. Life in the countryside is too difficult now. My brother and I must work hard on this land before we go back.
Chunhua laughed awkwardly and said, "Xu Zhiqing, you and your brother are really great. I will learn from you in the future."
Xu Ning immediately took her hand and said, "Comrade Chunhua, you have a very high level of awareness. Let's learn from each other and contribute to our country here."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Lanlan eagerly again. Wei Lanlan laughed dryly and raised her hand and said, "And me."
Xu Ning immediately took her hand and said excitedly, Comrade Wei Lanlan, you are also a good comrade of the people. We must firmly believe that the country will never forget the contributions we have made. ”
Xu Ning sent the two of them to the door and thought to himself, I'm sorry, sisters, I have no choice now, I can only apologize to you later.
After Wei Lanlan and Chunhua came out of Xu Ning's room, they looked at each other. They could see something indescribable in each other's eyes. If they knew the word "weird", they would know how to describe Xu Ning now.
Chunhua said with a smile, "Xu Zhiqing has a very high level of ideological awareness."
Wei Lanlan burst out laughing. "I just found out today that they went to the countryside like this. I thought there was something she couldn't talk about, so I didn't ask. She's actually a very nice person."
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "She has a very high level of ideological awareness. I heard that she dislikes associating with Lin Miao and Gu Wenjing because they have low levels of awareness. She said that she is afraid that they will affect her progress."
Chunhua smiled and said, "You are afraid that she will not play with you anymore, so you reached out your hand so quickly."
Wei Lanlan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm faster than you, but you were the one who praised her for being great and said you wanted to learn from her in the future."
Spring flowers...
Was that a compliment? She was afraid that the atmosphere would be too awkward!
When Xu An came back from school with a big bowl of soybean paste, he saw his sister in the kitchen and went in and said, "Sister, this is the soybean paste that Aunt Dashuan gave you. She heard from Jianmin that you like to eat this, so she asked me to bring it to you."
Xu Ning asked, "You went home with Jianmin after school today,"
"When I was in school, Jianmin said that Aunt Dashuan wanted to see me for something, so he asked me to go home with him after school, and then he gave me this."
Xu Ning took chopsticks and tasted a little, nodded, and said, "The sauce made by Aunt Dashuan is really delicious. If it weren't for the trouble of making the sauce and the small space here, I really want to learn how to make it from Aunt Dashuan."
Xu Yang, who was helping to light the fire, saw that Xu Ning was eating very happily and said, "Xiao Ning, what are you eating? Give me some to try."
Xu Ning picked up some with chopsticks and gave it to him, saying, "Brother, this is soybean paste, it's a little salty, try a little first, I'll make some pancakes later, it'll be delicious if you roll them up with the paste."
Xu Yang tasted it and found it a little salty, but the taste was really good. He said to Xu Ning, "Sister, this is delicious. Just make some pancakes and dip them in the sauce at night. Don't make it so complicated."
Seeing that he liked it, Xu Ning planned to make some pancakes, stir-fry some side dishes, roll them together and eat them, and then cook a pot of millet porridge.
