Reborn 1980: Scientific research leader farms to serve the motherland

Chapter 188 An Ercheng

With a candied haws in hand, An Ning followed the steps of bandits entering the village.

The rare warm sun in winter fell from the sky, leaving a silhouette on Jiang Xia's face.

One corner of his mouth raised, his eyes followed An Ning involuntarily, and there was a hint of endearment in his smile that he himself had not noticed.

"Get in the car, Jiang Xia!"

"coming!"

Jiang Xia put the board in his hand on the car, pulled the car with one hand, jumped easily, and stood in the car.

He and An Guoqing were sitting in the carriage, patting the iron carriage with one hand. An Guoming, who was driving in front, received the signal, started the car, and left.

After returning home, An Ning got out of the car and looked up at Jiang Xia who was standing up.

Under the sunlight, there is a layer of fine down on the porcelain white skin, which makes An Ning feel more well-behaved.

"Jiang Xia, I gave it to you, take it back and eat it."

Jiang Xia squatted down, took off his gloves, and grabbed the candied haws that An Ning handed over with his beautiful fingers.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, big brother."

An Ning has been selling couplets for a few days, and her dialect has improved rapidly.

But I don’t know why, but this dialect seemed particularly funny after it came out of her mouth.

Just like a baby who has just learned to speak, everyone thinks it is a soft and waxy accent, but once you speak, it subverts your perception.

An Ning didn't notice anything, and happily ran into the yard with the candied haws on a stick, imitating An Guoping's example, and stuck the candied haws on the outside in the cracks in the wood.

"Okay, let's move things."

The siblings ran out again and unloaded the truck together.

After everything was done, Jiang Xia took the candied haws and went back to the next door, and then came back for another meal in the afternoon. This period of eating activities should be over.

An Ning packed up, took the candied haws into the house, and gave everyone a bunch.

Lin Cuihua took the candied haws, took a bite and said, "I haven't eaten this in years."

"By the way, eldest brother said that he will celebrate the New Year at his house tomorrow and at our house the day after tomorrow. It happens that we are not thirty this year."

An Sancheng, who was sitting and eating candied haws on a stick, couldn't speak with the candied haws in his mouth, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

An Ning listened on the sidelines and didn't quite understand the customs here, but she was very excited.

It's New Year's Eve!

It was her first official Chinese New Year celebration. She had celebrated Chinese New Year in Star before, but she didn't have time and never participated.

The family sat around the West Room, each holding a bunch of candied haws, gnawing happily.

After Lin Cuihua finished eating the candied haws, she began to prepare the menu for the day after tomorrow.

What should be prepared should be prepared quickly. There is still tomorrow, so you can't go there empty-handed. You have to make a dish.

An Ning couldn't get involved in the cooking, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and smacked them in front of the stove pit.

She decided that she would also have a good rest these days, which meant that she was going to show off.

Do nothing, just concentrate on waiting to eat and drink.

Just when An Ning was concentrating on resting, someone came to the door.

"An Ning, Yin Xuemei is here."

Lin Cuihua, who was busy, shouted.

An Ning quickly stood up, swept the melon seed peels off her body twice, and ran out.

Yin Xuemei was at the door, not ready to enter the house.

The classes for several people were stopped after An Guoming came back and would be resumed after the Chinese New Year.

Li Chengze was also kicked out by Jiang Xia and returned to the city to celebrate the New Year.

"peaceful."

"What's wrong? Do you want a question?"

"No, I'm here to give you New Year's goods."

Yin Xuemei took An Ning's arm, walked out of the door, and turned to the left.

"so much?"

An Ning saw three bags on the ground, each one filled to the brim.

Yin Xuemei smiled shyly, with the most sincere gratitude in her eyes.

"This one belongs to Yang Jianguo, and the other two belong to me."

"Yang Jianguo is back in the city for the New Year, and asked me to bring him here."

"You can take it to the house, I'm leaving."

An Ning immediately stopped her and grabbed the corner of Yin Xuemei's clothes with two fingers.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?"

"I'm going back to the city. I'll be back in the first and second grades of junior high school."

Upon hearing this, An Ning let go of his hand.

"Okay, good wind."

Yin Xuemei nodded, turned and left.

An Ning carried three bags of things, entered the house, opened them and took a look.

What Yang Jianguo gave was wool, a bag of wool.

The two bags sent by Yin Xuemei were full of food, with words written on the outside of each bag.

There are braised beef, pickled salted fish, semi-prepared Dongpo pork, which just needs to be steamed in a pot, as well as fried melon seeds and some pine nuts and hazelnuts.

"This whole thing is too serious, there are so many..."

Lin Cuihua liked Yin Xuemei very much. She asked An Ning: "Where will Yin Xuemei go to celebrate the New Year?"

"She's back in the city. I wanted her to come to our house."

When Lin Cuihua heard this, she stopped asking.

Going home for the New Year is the strongest sense of belonging in the north.

Lin Cuihua packed her things, and the family finished dinner in the evening and went to bed early.

The next day, before dawn, Lin Cuihua got up and shouted to everyone.

"Hurry and clean up, go there early and help."

"An Ning, light the fire, stew this dish, and bring it over later."

An Ning washed her face, applied a little cream, and rubbed it on her hands to keep them moist.

In the north, if you don't wipe it, your face will be dry and unattractive.

The family drank porridge and ate some pickles in the morning. After taking a bite, they took some things and headed towards the uncle's house.

An Ning and An Guoping were behind, carrying a basin, which contained two large, rotten pig knuckles from Lin Cuihuayang, four pig trotters, and half a pig head.

Before the family reached the uncle's house, they saw An Guoyang's seven-year-old eldest son running over.

"Third aunt, third aunt!"

"Second aunt, second aunt is here."

An Ning, who was holding the basin in the back, took a long time to react before he realized that the second uncle and second aunt were referring to An Ercheng.

The second uncle who was half-married in the city and hadn't come back for seven years.

An Sanchengdu stopped, not knowing what to feel.

"Let's go and have a look."

The family followed An Sancheng, and the originally joyful atmosphere became a little tense.

As soon as An Sancheng walked into the yard, a girl about the same age as An Ning, wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket, was crying in the yard.

"What kind of crappy place is this? Is that a toilet? It's disgusting."

"Mom, I want to go home, I don't want to spend the New Year here."

The girl frowned, slapping one hand in front of her nose. Her nose was crooked, and her look of disgust was too obvious and artificial.

The girl's willfulness and unreasonableness were not stopped, but comforted.

A woman wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket with curly wool comforted the girl and said, "Okay, mom knows that the environment here is not good, and we will leave soon."

"Be obedient. Mom will buy you new clothes when you go home."

"How about just buying the cashmere coat you like?"

When the crying girl heard this, she said happily: "Really?"

"real."

The girl was comforted, and An Ning at the door looked at her clothes thoughtfully.

Cashmere coat?

She seems to have.
