Before the Cannon Fodder Eloped

Chapter 95: New Year's Eve

Views:

Sheng Jingchuan has stayed here for more than ten years. In fact, it is like his own hometown. He is more familiar with this place than Ye Liming. He takes Ye Eucalyptus up the mountain every day to hunt and dig bamboo shoots.

"Going to dig bamboo shoots again? How many bamboo shoots are there?" Ye Ning felt a headache when she saw the bamboo shoots all over the ground. She had already given away a lot, and she couldn't finish the rest, so she simply made them into dried bamboo shoots.

After finally peeling them off, Sheng Jingchuan and Ye Ning came back with a bag of bamboo shoots each. Ye Ning reluctantly took them, and Ye Lan peeled them off and dried them into dried bamboo shoots.

"What do you think this is?" Sheng Jingchuan took out a pheasant from the basket, "I remember that the second uncle brought a lot of chestnuts over, and eat chestnut chicken at night?"

Ye Lan happily took the pheasant, "I haven't eaten pheasant for a long time, I'm going to clean it up now."

The meat of the pheasant is relatively fine, and generally speaking, it is not much different from the domestic ones. It is just a fresh taste. After cooking, Ye Ning brought a bowl to the second and third uncles. They all really thought about their siblings and reciprocated , they should also be filial.

On New Year's Eve, Ye Ning prepared incense candles and firecrackers, and took his siblings and Sheng Jingchuan to worship Ye Qingshan.

I haven’t been here for half a year. The grass here grows very high. Sheng Jingchuan and Ye Eucalyptus are weeding, Ye Liming and Ye Lan are cleaning the surrounding area. The evergreens planted on both sides of the grave are growing well, and there is a camellia next to it, which has already budded , It will bloom beautiful flowers in a few days.

Time is so fast, in a blink of an eye, it has been almost three years since she came to this world, and it has been three years since Ye Qingshan left. Ye Ning glanced at Ye Lan and Ye Eucalyptus who were burning paper money, and said to herself, "Although I took your daughter body, but I changed the fate of your three children. I told you before that Ye Lan would drop out of school, be trafficked, and finally kill and then commit suicide. Ye Eucalyptus is also pitiful. Things, it turned out to be poisonous. Now one of them is admitted to Beicheng University and becomes a college student. After graduation, he will be assigned a good job. The life in the future will not be hard. He bought a house, a courtyard house in the north city, a big house, and he will not worry about not being able to marry a wife in the future. Over there in the old house... I am really powerless. He has two other sons who are filial, so you don't have to worry about it. '

"Sister, what have you been muttering to Dad?" Ye Yu asked curiously.

Ye Ning glared at him, "Come here, tell Dad about your achievements this year, and then tell Dad about the life in Beicheng and the house, so Dad will be happy too."

After rambling on for a long time, the group finished everything they wanted to say, and the paper money was almost burned, so they packed up their things and left.

"Look at the fire to see if it is completely extinguished. If there are sparks flying to the side, it will be dangerous." The dry grass in winter will catch fire if there is a spark, and then the whole mountain will be destroyed.

On the way back, I met a lot of people from the village. They all came back from the graveyard. When they saw Ye Ning, they all greeted Ye Ning warmly. The third uncle even asked them to go to his house for dinner.

In order to buy the position of Ye Ning, the third uncle emptied his family, but when he saw his grandson carrying a bunch of Chinese New Year benefits from the factory, he felt that no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it. In other places, even if you have money, you can't buy a job, even if you have it, the price is high, and three thousand yuan is low. For this reason, the third uncle's family treats Ye Ning even more kindly.

"The dishes at home are all ready, why don't third uncle eat at my side." Ye Ning said with a smile.

Thinking of work, the third uncle forgot to ask Ye Ning what kind of job he was in Beicheng, and whether it was better than a pharmaceutical factory.

"Your uncle is already cooking. What do you do in Beicheng?"

Now many people in the city still look down on the self-employed, let alone in the countryside, even more so. Ye Ning said that she is a salesperson, and she is not lying if she sells clothes anyway.

"Hey, salesperson, you are really capable." Third Uncle has been to the department store in the county, and all the girls selling things there are very proud. If Ye Ning works there, it will be better than the pharmaceutical factory.

The people around congratulated her after hearing this, and many of them couldn't help being jealous. If it wasn't for the Sheng family's help, would it be Ye Ning? How could it be possible to find such a good job in Beicheng.

Ye Lan and the others didn't talk at the side. The old family didn't need to know what the eldest sister was doing in Beicheng, so as not to spread the word and make it worse. It's better to talk about a serious job. Even if you know it later, it will be a matter of the future.

Except for Ye Eucalyptus, the other three have no friends in the village, and they don't even have a place to visit, so they just stay at home reading and talking. Ye Ning looks out through the window and sees a woman who looks like Ye Qingmei from a distance. walk towards them.

"Xiao Ning, open the door quickly."

Returning to her natal home on the first day of the new year, Ye Qingmei has always treated her younger brother Ye Qingshan's home as her natal home since she fell out with the old house, now that he is gone, she will go with Ye Ning.

"Auntie, why are you here so early?" It's only past eight o'clock, so how early do you get up and walk? Ye Ning hurriedly took a towel for her aunt to wipe her face, while Ye Lan poured boiling water to warm Ye Qingmei's stomach.

"It's getting late, it's past eight o'clock." Ye Qingmei carried a vegetable basket, which contained half a basket of eggs, half a teal, and a piece of beef. Well, I don't like to eat this, see how you can make it delicious."

Beef, Ye Ning has marinated it by herself before, but there is no seasoning in her hometown, so she can't do anything else. Looking at Ye Lan, she also shook her head. She couldn't even eat pork, let alone beef. She really didn't know how to do it.

"I'll do it." Sheng Jingchuan volunteered.

It's good to have someone do it, Ye Ning helped to stew the beef, and then boiled five eggs in sugar water for the aunt to eat.

"I knew you had found a job when I entered the village. I was too busy last time, so I didn't ask you. Are you the same as those salespersons in the department store? Is it a regular job?" Ye Qingmei looked at Ye Ning nervously.

"Almost, I'm not a regular worker, so it's not that easy. I just started working, so take your time." Ye Ning said half-truthfully.

Ye Qingmei felt regretful when she heard that she was not a regular worker, but it was better than nothing. I heard that Mr. Sheng is now a big official, and he will be able to become a full-time employee in a year or two. After talking about Ye Ning, she began to care about Ye Ning again. orchid.

"Should I stay in Beicheng after graduating from university or come back? I think Beicheng is better. After all, it is the capital, and your sisters have someone to take care of you there." As for Ye Eucalyptus, she is still too young to think about her future. He just asked him to listen to his two older sisters, study hard, and get admitted to university in the future.

My aunt left after lunch, passed by the old house to put down her things, and left, which is considered to have been there.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Ning and his party first went to the uncle's house, then the aunt, the second uncle, the third uncle, the old party secretary, and finally they passed through the old house to put down their things and left.

"Dad, look at them, they don't pay attention to you." Jin Xiuli said angrily.

Old man Ye glared at her, the guy who doesn't have long eyes, when did those few look at him, what are you talking about now, don't you think he is not shameful enough

Jin Xiuli didn't even know what she did wrong. The inexplicable father-in-law stared at her, and didn't dare to speak anymore. She lowered her head and was very annoyed.

What happens in the old house is none of Ye Ning's business. Today, all the relatives are gone, and tomorrow I will pack up and leave. The fifth day of the Lunar New Year will open, so I am very busy.

In fact, it only took more than a week to come back from the Chinese New Year, but it was extremely tossing. Not to mention the time spent on the road. When I got home, I had to clean up, clean up the kitchen, and dry the quilt. When I left, I had to clean up the room and kitchen. .

In the early morning of the third day of junior high school, Sheng Jingchuan and Ye Eucalyptus cleaned up, Ye Ning and Ye Lan unpacked and washed the quilt covers, and the sheets and quilts of the two beds were dried in the yard, and the key was given to the third uncle, asking her to help put the dried quilts into the cabinet , and ate eggs in sugar water at the third uncle’s house before taking the bus to the county seat.

There are still more than two hours left by car to the provincial capital, so Ye Ning decided to go to Li Xiulan's house, mainly to learn about Yang Wanqing's situation.

"You also know?" Speaking of Yang Wanqing, Li Xiulan looked angry, "You know people, you don't know your heart, you are still a policeman, I didn't expect to beat someone, I heard that she beat Wanqing before, Wanqing was afraid of embarrassment, no one Said, I didn't expect to beat people in front of so many people on the street this time."

"It's also because of Wang Bin's matter?" Ye Ning frowned. He is still a repeat offender. This kind of man must leave. "What's the situation now, is it a divorce or something?"

"I don't know. Wan Qing didn't say anything. Now she is still at her mother's house, but that man comes to her house every day to beg her to go back. Xiao Ning, whenever I think of his expression, I get goosebumps. It's too scary. I think it's better to get divorced." Good." Li Xiulan thought of Yang Wanqing's husband beating someone, and couldn't help being afraid, it really seemed like she was going to kill someone.

Ye Ning happened to avoid it that day, otherwise she would be afraid.

"When are you going back to Beicheng? Do you want to go and see Wanqing? She hasn't gone to work these days, and it must be boring to stay at home alone." Li Xiulan took Ye Ning's arm, "I haven't come back for so long, how many days will I play?" Come on, sleep with me tonight."

"I got off at two o'clock in the afternoon and took the train to Beicheng at night." Before Li Xiulan could speak, Ye Ning continued: "The place where I work opens on the fifth day of the lunar new year, so I have to leave today, and we will meet again when I come back next time."

Ye Ning thought about it, and said to Li Xiulan: "If Wanqing needs help with anything, you can ask her to call me."

The Sheng family has a telephone, and Ye Ning gave Li Xiulan this phone number, and he can change it after he installs a phone in his own home.

As for why she called Yang Wanqing, Ye Ning couldn't tell. She felt that she would use it, but she didn't want to.

Arriving in the provincial capital by car, Aunt Sheng was waiting for them at the exit. She had already prepared dinner and waited for them to eat when they arrived.

"Xiao Ning, we will be a family from now on. I am Ping'an's aunt and your aunt, so I will treat this as my own home. Come, don't be too polite, and eat more."

Soon, Ye Ning's bowl almost couldn't fit.

"Auntie, let's pick it up ourselves." Sheng Jingchuan picked up half of the vegetables in Ye Ning's bowl.

Yo, that's it, my aunt gave Sheng Jingchuan a sideways look and couldn't help laughing.

All eyes were on Aunt Ye.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that when Ping An was young, he always had a sullen face, like a little old man. At that time, I teased him. If he keeps on like this, he will never be able to marry a wife. Guess what happened to him?" Seeing everyone listening attentively, Aunt Ye Satisfied with the answer, "I didn't want a daughter-in-law, but I brought my daughter-in-law here in a blink of an eye."

Sheng Jingchuan frowned, "Don't make it up out of thin air."

After dinner, Uncle Sheng and Aunt Sheng sent them to the train station.
