The little grandson nodded, picked up the bowl, and took a sip first. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he swallowed in big mouthfuls. Even though it was still a little hot, he couldn't bear to spit it out.

After drinking the brown sugar, their faces turned a little brighter, and they looked more energetic.

Put down the bowl and say goodbye.

Xu Ningyan said: "I am coming back this time to sell the house. After disposing of the things, I will go to the capital! I can't take many things with me and I am too lazy to take them with me. According to our local rules, I will give some to the neighbors. You can count me in. Neighbors, thanks to you for the private land, there is nothing else but two old quilts. If you don’t mind, you can take them back while there is no one around."

After saying that, he went to the cabinet and pretended to rummage, but actually found two quilts in the space that Jiang Zhiyuan had slept on in the county town. He took them out of the cabinet, put them on the table, and motioned to Professor Gu to take them away.

After hearing this, Professor Gu looked excited. He was focused on Xu Ningyan's return to the capital. He didn't even look at the two beddings: "Comrade Xu, you, you are going to the capital?"

Xu Ningyan nodded.

Professor Gu murmured to himself: "Go to the capital! I don't know what's going on in the capital now?"

The tone was full of nostalgia and more of a sigh of hopelessness.

He sighed and looked down at the two quilts on the table. They looked new but not old, but they were very thick and felt warm without touching them.

If they had these two quilts, I'm afraid they would be able to survive this winter.

Professor Gu fought in his heart for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He blushed and hugged the quilt: "Thank you so much, Comrade Xu! I don't know how to thank you! Now that I am like this, there is really nothing I can do to repay you." ——”

Xu Ningyan waved her hand, "If these things are not given to you, they will be given to others! You don't have to be embarrassed. If you can't return to the capital in the future, I will still ask for your help one day!"

Professor Gu smiled bitterly and thought Xu Ningyan was trying to comfort himself: "Now we don't dare to think about going back. We just want to survive this winter, which will be good!"

Xu Ningyan added two pieces of firewood to the stove, seemingly inadvertently leaking what she said to fool the brigade captain and brigade secretary.

Just these two sentences made Professor Gu's eyes light up and he asked with trembling lips: "Comrade Xu, you, are everything you said true?"

Xu Ningyan nodded and said in a gentle tone: "That's why I said, we can never meet again in the capital in the future! Okay, it's getting late, you go back quickly, it's not good if you don't let anyone see you!"

It's time to see off guests.

Professor Gu still had many things to ask, but seeing Xu Ningyan's attitude, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything.

He thanked her again and said goodbye hugging the quilt, the basket and bag that Xu Ningyan returned.

After leaving the small courtyard, probably because I was too excited, when I was going down the steps, I missed the last step, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

The quilt in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't care much. He picked up the quilt and returned to the cowshed with one foot high and one foot low.

Xu Ningyan saw this and shook her head. With her words, Professor Lai Gu would no longer have any ambition to die, right?

She could see just now that before Professor Gu entered the courtyard, his eyes were numb and withered, and his words had a slumped and dead air.

Knowing that it is possible to rehabilitate and return to the capital, although they don't know how long they will have to suffer, with this hope, they can persevere, right?

This is all she can do.

After all, she is a selfish person. At this time, what she has to do is to protect herself first, and to protect Jiang Zhiyuan and the others from being implicated.

As for the others, she was helpless.

Sighing, he put away the things that Professor Gu sent, planning to secretly put them in the cowshed before leaving.

After all, this little bit of food didn't matter to her, but to the people in the cowshed, it could save a person's life.

Not long after they had finished packing, Tie Zhu shouted outside the yard: "Aunt Siya, my grandma has prepared the rice. Come to my house for dinner——"

When Xu Ningyan came out, she was carrying a roast duck in her hand. It was just a side dish, but it didn't look good going to the captain's house empty-handed.

Tie Zhu's eyes were glued to the roast duck and he swallowed: "Aunt Siya, what is this?"

Xu Ningyan handed the roast duck to Tie Zhu: "This is the Beijing roast duck. You take it back first and let your grandma heat it up. Everyone can have a taste."

Tie Zhu nodded quickly, took the roast duck, and ran home quickly.

Xu Ningyan walked slowly behind, passing by the cowshed.

The door of the bullpen opened, and several people who looked familiar looked at Xu Ningyan eagerly and wanted to speak, but Professor Gu and another man named Lao Xing pulled them in.

Xu Ningyan just didn't see it and walked straight to the captain's house.

After dinner at the brigade captain's house, it was just getting dark. Qian Chunlan, the brigade captain's daughter-in-law, originally planned to go to Xu Ningyan's company in the evening. After all, Xu Ningyan's family had a bad relationship.

Now she was the only single girl living nearby. What if something happened?

Xu Ningyan refused. Although she was not a bitch, she was not bad at it. She was really not used to living in the same room and sleeping in the same bed with people she didn't know well at night.

Seeing that Xu Ningyan was not being polite, but really refusing, the captain of the brigade said, "Okay, what can happen to our brigade in this cold weather? What's more, that place doesn't refer to her family, and there is a cowshed. Those people! There is really something going on, and they will hear you if you shout! What’s more, the public security in our commune is one of the best in the county, so it’s okay!”

After the last poisoning incident, the entire Hongqi Commune was combed back and forth three times by the army personnel, and those with slight problems were sent to the bureau. Nowadays, the security of Hongqi Commune is such that people do not pick up lost items on the road and do not close their doors at night!

Who among you has no idea? Dare to trouble Xu Ningyan? Aren't you afraid of being sorted out again by the troops and sending the whole family to the bureau?

So I'm really not worried.

Upon hearing this, Qian Chunlan realized that it was true that she had thought wrong just now, so she stopped talking.

He only asked Tiezhu to send the person home and then come back.

Tie Zhu was naturally happy. When Xu Ningyan came back, he ate the Beijing roast duck. It was so delicious!

On the way back to Xu Ningyan, the little talker kept talking, eager to tell Xu Ningyan everything that had happened in the unity brigade in the past few months, as well as the gossip of each family.

Xu Ningyan was also very wise and took out a few big white rabbits and stuffed them into Tiezhu.

Tie Zhu took it with a smile, peeled off one and stuffed it into his mouth, then put the rest into his pocket, intending to take it back to his brothers and sisters at home to sweeten their mouths.

You know, they haven't had candy for a long time since Xu Ningyan didn't come back.
