Several people watched the brother and sister open the door and run away, feeling both amused and angry.
Grandpa Qi said, "Leave some of the meat, and take the rest to Xiao Ning."
The brother and sister ran home, and as soon as Xu An opened the door, his sister kicked him on the butt.
Xu Ning said angrily, "Are you stupid? You still talked about going up the mountain in the future at that time. You wanted to be beaten, but you dragged me with you."
Xu An was speechless. "Sister, you are still blaming me. It was you who secretly went up the mountain to hunt and made mom angry. I was implicated by you, okay?"
The brother and sister glared at each other, and we almost became cross-eyed.
When Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu came in carrying the pork, the siblings were still glaring at each other.
Father Xu asked, "What are you two doing?"
Only then did the two of them see Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu, and they quickly took the meat and put it in the kitchen.
Dad Xu and Dad Lu gave the siblings some additional instructions and told them never to go up the mountain again.
The brother and sister sent the two people out of the door and returned to the house. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again.
Xu An asked, "Sister, did you really kill that wild boar by yourself? How come you are so powerful?"
Xu Ning was afraid that he would sneak up the mountain in the future, so he said, "Wild boars are not that easy to kill. I just happened to be there today. I don't know what bit this wild boar, so I got the advantage. The mountain is too dangerous. I won't go there anymore. Xiao An, you are not allowed to go there either, understand?"
Xu An had hunted wild boars with Lu Xiaotang before and knew how ferocious wild boars were. He also felt that his sister was lucky. Last time she encountered two wild boars fighting, and this time she encountered an injured wild boar. Why did it feel like such a coincidence? All good things happened to his sister.
When the second snow fell, Wei Lanlan and Chen Xiangdong came to invite Xu Ning and Xu An to attend their wedding in a few days, and asked Xu Ning to help cook that day.
The two planned to keep it simple, so they invited people from the Youth League Institute, the village chief, the accountant and several team leaders to come over for a meal.
Xu Ning and Xu An happily agreed and said they would go over early that day to help.
Chen Xiangdong went back to clean up the house first. Wei Lanlan was talking to Xu Ning here. "Three more educated youth came some time ago. One of them was a girl from Beijing. She said she was Gu Wenping's classmate and her parents worked in the same unit.
The two grew up together. The girl was very delicate and couldn't even light a fire. She asked Gu Wenping to help her fetch water. Lin Miao was very unhappy during this period. ”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's just right. Lin Miao has a male confidant, and Gu Wenping now has a female confidant."
Wei Lanlan also smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. However, Yang Wenli hasn't interacted with Lin Miao much recently, and I haven't seen him go out much. Sometimes when Lin Miao goes to him for help, he always asks Lin Miao to go to Gu Wenping."
Xu Ning was surprised, "Really? How did you figure it out?"
Wei Lanlan said, "I don't know either. Did you scold Gu Wenping and Lin Miao some time ago? She told them that you scolded them in front of the Youth Farm. She also said that she and you had a quarrel over this matter and asked Yang Wenli to testify for her. But Yang Wenli didn't say anything that day. It seems that he has changed since then."
Xu Ning...
Damn, was it her scolding that woke me up? Then what else will be fun and interesting in the future?
Xu Ning told Wei Lanlan exactly what happened that day.
Wei Lanlan also wanted to laugh after hearing this. How could Xu Ning be so capable?
On the day of their wedding, Xu Ning and Xu An had breakfast and went over. Wei Lanlan took her to see the prepared dishes.
Wei Lanlan sighed, "Chen Xiangdong waited in line for several hours and only managed to get a pig's offal and two kilograms of meat. The meat coupons were sent by his family. The vegetables he got were radishes, cabbages, potatoes, and some dried wild vegetables and mushrooms."
Xu Ning looked at the prepared food and asked, "Braise the pig's offal first, then stew it with pickled cabbage, make a cold salad with shredded radish, stew meat with potatoes, stir-fry some spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and make a mushroom soup. How do you think it is?"
When Chen Xiangdong and Wei Lanlan heard her arrangement, they said happily, "Xu Ning, we'll trouble you later. We've already prepared the pig offal. You can just put it in the pot and stew it."
Xu Ning and Xu An prepared to clean the dishes. Yang Xiaomei and Chunhua also came to help. They washed and cut the dishes. By the time the village chief came over with the accountant and several team leaders, the dishes in the kitchen were almost ready.
The village chief said a few words of blessing to the newlyweds, and then the banquet began. There were two tables in total, one for men and one for women.
While eating, Xu Ning took a look at the new female educated youth. She had double eyelids, big eyes, and fair skin with a rosy glow. It was obvious that she was well pampered by her family.
Yang Xiaomei, who was sitting next to him, noticed Xu Ning's gaze and thought that they didn't know each other yet, so she introduced them to each other.
"Xu Ning, this is the new educated youth, Wang Juanjuan from Beijing."
Then he said to Wang Juanjuan, "This is Xu Ning, also from Beijing."
The two greeted each other and nothing else happened. Wang Juanjuan was not very enthusiastic, probably because she heard about her from Gu Wenjing. Xu Ning didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Although the wedding was not very crowded, it was still warm and lively. Xu An also met two male educated youths at another table, Liu Shaojie and Zhang Hairong, both from Hai City.
The two men were not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they got along very well with Xu An. Before they even left the table, the three of them became good brothers.
When the brother and sister returned home, Xu An was still chattering about the two brothers he had just met. Xu Ning really couldn't understand this kind of brotherhood where they could become close friends after just one meeting, so she let him talk to himself while she sat on the kang, making cotton shoes and listening to the radio.
"Sister, Shaojie Hairong and I have agreed that when I have a day off next week, I will take them for a walk around the area and then go to the stream at the foot of the mountain, dig a hole in the ice, and see if we can catch some fish."
Xu Ning turned up the volume of the radio and said, "Xiao An, go cook!"
Xu An asked in surprise, "Sister, how long have you just eaten? You're already hungry? Aren't you full?"
Xu Ning hummed and said, "I want to eat dumplings tonight. You can go and chop the meat and mix the dough now. I won't help you today. I plan to make this pair of cotton shoes today."
Xu An looked at his sister speechlessly. You couldn’t even eat enough at the banquet, and you still wanted to eat dumplings when you came back. He had wanted to have a good meal in the morning and make some corn porridge in the evening.
Xu Ning listened to the sound of chopping meat coming from the kitchen and thought, if I don't find you something to do, you'll stay here and make noise all afternoon.
Xu An first wrapped twenty of them and cooked a bowl for her. He didn't let her go to the kitchen to eat, but brought it directly to the table on the kang. He also considerately took a few cloves of garlic and poured some vinegar.
Xu Ning looked at the big bowl of dumplings and suddenly felt a little stomachache.
