On the day Xu Ning was pickling sauerkraut, Wei Lanlan, Yang Xiaomei, Chen Xiangdong and Sun Hao all came to help chop the cabbage.
She looked at the knives in the hands of the four people, some were kitchen knives and some were chopping wood knives. She then looked at the cabbage that occupied less than two mu of land and laughed.
A few people looked at the cabbage and found it a little funny.
Finally, Chen Xiangdong and Sun Hao were responsible for chopping cabbage, and the three female comrades pickled sauerkraut. This time Xu Ning explained it to them again in detail.
Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei said in confusion, "That's right, we pickled it the same way, but it's not as delicious as yours."
Xu Ning looked at the two of them and said, "I have explained all the details to you clearly. If you still can't learn it, there is nothing I can do."
The two looked at her flatteringly and said, "Xu Ning, are you free tomorrow?"
Xu Ning rolled his eyes at the two and said, "Chop the cabbage tomorrow morning, and I'll help you pickle it in the afternoon."
The two cheered and ran over to tell Sun Hao and Chen Xiangdong.
Chen Xiangdong and Sun Hao smiled and said to Xu Ning, "Xu Zhiqing, I'll trouble you tomorrow."
Xu Ning said, "It's okay. You guys helped me chop cabbage today."
After saying this, they found it a bit funny and several of them couldn't help laughing.
The next afternoon, after helping a few people pickle cabbage, Xu Ning began to prepare firewood. Xu An also came to help after school. The brother and sister chopped firewood for seven or eight days in a row.
The firewood room is full, and there is also a lot of material in the private plot. Lu Xiaotang still has a lot of coal briquettes from last year, and he doesn't plan to make any this year. If he uses them sparingly, it should be enough.
Xu Ning hasn't been to the city for more than a month. Now that everything that needs to be prepared and packed at home has been completed, he plans to go to the city to buy some daily necessities and send some vegetables and food to Grandpa Wang.
Yesterday, the fourth aunt in the village asked Xiao An to bring a message to her, asking if she still wanted cabbage. This year, it's just her and Xiao An eating it together. They've grown enough in their private plot, so Xu Ning doesn't plan to buy any more. The last time he went to the city, Su Hongying said that vegetables were hard to buy, so he went to ask her today if she wanted any.
She was riding a bicycle with a large basket tied to the back, which was filled with cabbage and radishes, which were for Grandpa Wang.
Xu Ning rode his bike to Grandpa Wang's house first, delivered vegetables and grain to him, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Su Hongying.
When Xu Ning arrived there, there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Seeing Su Hongying idle there, she winked at her and the two went to talk aside.
"Sister Hongying, this year there is a family in our village that has planted a lot of cabbage and radishes. They can't finish eating them, so they asked me to ask if anyone wants them. I don't know many people here, but I thought you and your wife have a lot of connections, so I wanted to ask your relatives and friends if they need any vegetables.
Su Hongying took her to the back and said excitedly, "Sister, how many are there in her family?"
"I didn't ask how much exactly. Sister Hongying, how much do you need? If hers is not enough, I'll go to the village and ask for you."
Su Hongying thought for a moment and said, "My family, my sister's family, and my mother's family need about 400 kilograms of cabbage and 200 kilograms of radishes."
Xu Ning nodded and said, "Sister Hongying, how can I send it to you?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, have them bring the cabbages to the city archway. I'll have your brother-in-law and his men pick them up. Just say they're relatives of our family. We'll give them two cents a pound for cabbages and radishes."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell them to send it over tomorrow afternoon."
Xu Ning bought some daily necessities, and had a few cloth coupons that were about to expire, so he used them all today.
She first sent the things home, and then rode her bike to her fourth aunt's house.
When Xu Ning arrived, Fourth Aunt and her husband were putting cabbages into the cellar. When they saw her, they greeted her warmly, "Xu Zhiqing, come in and sit down."
Xu Ning followed her in and said, "Fourth Aunt, Xiao An told me yesterday that I went to the city today and asked my relatives. They said they wanted to buy some cabbage and radishes. They are giving two cents a pound. How much do you have left for your family?"
Fourth Aunt said happily, "Xu Zhiqing, thank you! You even went to the city to ask for help. My family can get 200 kilograms of cabbage and 100 kilograms of radishes."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Aunt, why are you being so polite? You have helped me a lot since I came here.
Then you prepare these dishes, and I will go to Uncle Dashuan’s house to ask if he has any extra ones. ”
Fourth Aunt sent her out and said to the old man with a smile, "Xu Zhiqing is a really nice person."
Fourth Aunt's house and Aunt Dashuan's house are neighbors. After Xu Ning came out of Fourth Aunt's house, he went directly to Uncle Dashuan's house.
Aunt Dashuan saw her and smiled, "Hey, Xu Zhiqing, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Xu Ning told her the purpose of his visit, "...Aunt, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, ask Uncle Dashuan and Uncle Si to bring the vegetables to the archway in the city. My relatives are waiting there."
Aunt Dashuan said happily, "Xu Zhiqing, you came just in time. I planted too many cabbages this year and couldn't store them in the cellar. I was wondering what to do. I don't know how to thank you."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Aunt, let's not say these polite words. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."
Aunt Dashuan sent her out and then took her to Aunt Si's house.
As soon as Xu Ning arrived at the entrance of the village on his bicycle, he saw Wei Lanlan and Chen Xiangdong getting off the ox cart carrying baskets on their backs and holding basins in their hands. They must be going to buy things for their wedding.
She got off the bicycle, pushed the bike and walked forward with the two of them. Wei Lanlan took out a few candies from the cloth bag she was carrying and gave them to her.
Xu Ning took it and joked, "Wedding candy?"
Wei Lanlan stole a glance at Chen Xiangdong and said to Xu Ning with a blushing face, "Eating can't stop your mouth."
When Xu Ning saw her like this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Wei Lanlan was about to come over and tear her mouth, so she was so scared that she quickly rode away on her bicycle.
Just as she arrived at the gate of the Youth League Home, a man ran out and almost hit her bicycle. Fortunately, Xu Ning reacted quickly, turned to the side and jumped off the bicycle.
Just as he was about to curse, Lin Miao had already run towards Daqing Mountain, followed closely by Gu Wenping who also hurriedly chased after her.
Damn it, you want to die, right? What bad luck I have to run into these two unlucky guys.
Xu Ning looked at the two people running away angrily, picked up his bicycle, and still cursed.
Gu Wenjing and Yang Wenli also followed out and heard Xu Ning swearing.
Gu Wenjing glared and said, "Who are you scolding?"
Xu Ning glared back at her and said, "Who do you think I am scolding? Don't you have eyes? Are those two circles on your face for eating? Damn it, I'm in a bad mood, get out of here."
Thinking about the day when Lin Qiuhua scolded her father and Xiao Mo, and this stinky woman was standing beside them and laughing, Xu Ning wanted to pin her to the ground and beat her up.
Gu Wenjing's face turned red with anger because of her scolding, but she didn't dare to do anything. She couldn't beat this damn girl. She looked at Yang Wenli with red eyes.
Yang Wenli watched the two female comrades bickering. As a man, he couldn't interrupt. Seeing that Gu Wenjing was about to cry after being scolded, he spoke up, "Xu Zhiqing, you are a female comrade, why do you curse at people at every turn?"
Seeing that he was also joining in the discussion, Xu Ning said sarcastically, "Why, do I need you to teach me how to speak? May I ask who you are? A grown man who has nothing to do all day long is just following behind a woman. What a loser."
After saying this, he rolled his eyes at the two of them, without even looking at Yang Wenli's pale and blue face, and rode away on his bike.
