"Brother, you're right. As long as you have enough storage space, take everything. I'll try to get things to the base in the next couple of days. We really can't take too much stuff from here."
Fan Mingwei looked at Xiao Lingfeng with great envy. He also wanted to have such a good storage space, but unfortunately, it was just a dream.
I'll never have that kind of luck in my life.
The mission to collect building materials is almost complete. Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning...
They also took all the grain from the other granaries. Then, without lingering there, they bid farewell to Fan Mingwei and immediately returned home.
The two of them hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and Jian Ning was quite happy to be home several days early.
She's probably grown attached to living in this villa. She's been missing it these past few days.
When we returned, the weather was fine and sunny. When we arrived at the base, we saw that everyone had already dug the ditches for planting rice with excavators and was busy transplanting rice seedlings. They were working hard and enthusiastically.
No one noticed when Xiao Lingfeng and his companion returned.
"The atmosphere at the base is really great. It reminds me of the days when I was earning work points in the 1970s. People were so simple back then, and they all had a lot of hope for the future. Plus, there was a lot of human warmth in the place."
Unlike now, where everyone is looking out for themselves and everyone is extremely selfish. Of course, you soldiers in the army don't count." Jian Ning stood there watching the people busily working in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, people live for fame and fortune in the end. Only now, when we only have the most basic needs for survival, can people work together towards the same goal."
But this is social development and progress, there's nothing we can do about it. Go home and cook the snake meat for Mom first. I'll call my older brother to come back for dinner later; I'll go check on things over there."
"Okay." Jian Ning agreed. As soon as she opened the door to her home, the dog, Ba Wang, in the neighboring yard started barking excitedly.
"What's going on? Oh, Xiao Ning is back. I knew this dog rarely barks and is very obedient; it knew you were back."
Aunt Wang pushed open the door and saw Jian Ning carrying a rather large bag. She walked over with a smile.
"Give me the bag, what's in it?"
"Mom, this is good stuff. Lingfeng caught a big python and cut off the best part for you. We'll cook it in a bit and have a few more dishes. I'm calling my brother and sister-in-law's families to come over too."
"Wow, such a big piece of meat, how big must the snake be?" Aunt Wang clicked her tongue twice.
He then said, "I've never cooked snake meat before, so it might not taste good. Should I braise it or how should I prepare it?"
Sigh, you wouldn't know either. I'll figure it out myself. It's meat anyway, it can't taste too bad. I'll just add more seasonings to remove the fishy smell.
"Mom, don't look down on me. Here, these are the steps for cooking snake meat. I've written them all down for you."
This is a chef's secret recipe, not easily shared. I've tried it, and it tastes exceptionally good. If you try making it, you'll definitely succeed.
Jian Ning took out a piece of paper with dense writing from her pocket and handed it to Aunt Wang.
"Oh my, my wife is so thoughtful. She even brought back the recipes for me. Okay, just wait and see, I'll definitely make something delicious for you."
Grandma Wang carried the recipe book, looking at it as she walked into the house, muttering to herself as she went.
"It needs to be skinned, gutted, boiled in water, shredded, and then marinated with cooking wine and other seasonings."
Oh dear, it says here that chicken broth is best. Luckily, I had some frozen in my fridge. Thank goodness I didn't eat it this morning, otherwise it would have been a hassle to make it myself.
Jian Ning followed behind her with her hands behind her back, smiling. The old lady liked the recipes as soon as she saw them; she'd find more for her when she went out in the future.
"Auntie, I miss you so much."
"Did you see anything fun outside?" Sweetie ran out of the house, hugged Jian Ning's leg, and asked with her cute little face upturned.
"There's nothing fun about it. Did you pay attention in class? What did you learn?" Jian Ning pinched her chubby little face and asked with a smile.
"I've learned a lot. Um, the sun, moon, water, fire, and addition and subtraction within ten."
Mr. Dazhuang is very strict. If I don't do my homework properly, he hits my palms with a stick, and it hurts so much.
As Tian Tian spoke, she raised her delicate white hand, which was completely free of any scratches, but Jian Ning still blew on it twice.
"Whew, it won't hurt anymore. Our Sweetie is very smart. As long as she listens carefully in class, she will definitely be able to learn, right?"
"Yes, that's right. I won't be distracted in class anymore. It's mainly because Fugui always makes me laugh. I can't help it." Tiantian then complained to Huang Fugui.
"Why is it teasing you? I'll go ask Huang Fugui, where are you?" Jian Ning called out into the house. No one came out for a long time.
"Huang Fugui went up the mountain to catch an eagle. He said he wanted to keep it for me to play with, and he left early this morning." Tian Tian blinked her big eyes, sounding a little guilty as she spoke.
It has the ability to catch up with eagles. There are plenty of wild animals on the ground, so why would it want to catch up with flying creatures?
Jian Ning muttered something to herself, but didn't say anything. She took Tian Tian's hand and went to Jian Anping's house next door.
When Ba Wang saw her coming, he was so excited that he almost jumped up and down on the spot.
Jian Ning walked over, untied the rope, and then channeled some spiritual energy into it.
He patted its big head with one hand.
"You've worked hard these past few days, here's a little reward for you."
"Woof woof woof!" The tyrant barked comfortably a few times, its tail almost wagging down.
"Xiao Ning, it's you! I was wondering why Ba Wang was so excited. I came out to check earlier and no one knocked."
"Come in and sit down." Aunt Li came out with a basket, and as soon as she saw Jian Ning standing in the yard, she immediately walked over with a smile.
"Aunt Li, you don't need to cook. I brought back a piece of snake meat. My mom is cooking it in the house. Come over to my house for dinner in a little while."
"Okay, that saves me trouble. I was originally planning to go out and cut some chives to make chive dumplings. I've already prepared the dough."
Let's take it and eat it together. I cooked some beef yesterday, so I'll cut up a plate for Lingfeng to try.
"Okay, I'll go check on the two little ones,"
Jian Ning pulled Tian Tian into the house. Li Mengyao was in the living room watching the two twins play on the floor. The floor was carpeted, so it wasn't cold and there was no fear of the children falling. These little boys are more mischievous than girls.
The two of them were constantly busy and couldn't be separated from each other for even a moment.
"Xiao Ning is here. You came back quite quickly."
"Here's a piece of candy for you, then go play with your little brothers."
