Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 209: Shameless and understands women’s hearts

In the east room, Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan sat side by side, secretly holding hands and biting each other's ears.

Even though Meng Laizi and Liu Fenfang were in the outer room, the old couple could not hear their voices because they deliberately lowered their voices when speaking, like sparrows.

When they met this time, Meng Ziyan was slightly different from before. In addition to being shy, she also had an uncontrollable joy when she saw Xu Ning. Today, she has changed her previous attitude and is much more comfortable getting along with Xu Ning.

Although she was not as nervous as before, she was also afraid that her parents would suddenly rush into the house from the outhouse. If she saw the two holding hands, Meng Ziyan would definitely hide her face and run away, eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Xu Ning could clearly feel the change in her attitude towards him. Now he was more like a romantic partner, rather than the subtle expression of unrequited love.

"Then you stay indoors while I go to the outhouse to see if I can help."

Meng Ziyan was about to stand up after saying that, but Xu Ning grabbed her hands and arms, pulled her into his arms, and then put his hands around her waist.

This set of actions made Meng Ziyan blush and gasp for breath. She hurriedly looked at the courtyard through the window, and then suddenly turned her head to look at the door curtain. Her heart was like the pendulum of a wall clock clanging, and She herself didn't dare to make the slightest move, she just froze in place and let Xu Ning hold her.

Xu Ning's face was pressed against her chest. He could hear her heart beating, and he could also feel that her emotions were a little unstable. However, the hands around her slim waist refused to obey him. After struggling for a moment, he finally Slowly let go of your hand.

I saw Xu Ning waving his left hand and patting her on the back. Meng Ziyan trembled suddenly and almost shouted. Fortunately, she covered her mouth, then took a big step forward, froze in place, and turned her head. Looking back, she saw the evil smile on Xu Ning's face, but her mood was very complicated. She had an indescribable feeling, including expectation, sadness, and a hint of joy.

"It's so good, but I can't keep up with Xu Erning. This eldest daughter is making a living for nothing..."

"Aren't I nervous? I didn't hear it..."

Meng Ziyan lowered her head and pursed her red lips, clasped her fingers with her hands, and squeezed out a few words from her throat, "It scared me... What if my parents saw it?"

Meng Ziyan immediately smiled and said, "Yeah, Mom, you are so kind."

Meng Ziyan held back her laughter, turned her charming eyes, and said: "Smelly, stinky is shameless..."

"Hey, holding hands is different."

She didn't dare to talk about Xu Ning's fight with her. Although she dared to talk to her parents about anything, she couldn't talk about this kind of thing...

When Meng Ziyan walked to the outer room, she walked to the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife and started to chop the dumpling fillings.

"What's going on?"

"What was going on before? Was it unpleasant?"

"Okay, okay, Mom won't tell me." Liu Fenfang said teasingly: "How many dishes are there for lunch? I think two dishes are enough."

"Hey, Er Ning, it's great to chat with Yan."

Meng Ziyan nodded and was about to turn around and walk out when she felt a gust of wind coming.

Meng Ziyan pouted and said: "Hey, Mom, what are you talking about for fun? I'm embarrassed to say it anymore."

Meng Laizi and Liu Fenfang, who were collecting meat and oil, were stunned for a moment, and they slowly looked at each other.

"Hey, Mom, don't keep saying this, it's really frustrating for me."

"You will stir-fry two vegetables later. Stir-fry whole cabbage and fungus with eggs, and stir-fry shredded pork and sauerkraut."

Meng Ziyan put down the work in his hands, walked to the basin rack and rubbed his hands. He raised his hand to take off the rag and wiped it. Then he glanced at Meng Ziyan who had his head lowered, opened the door curtain and entered the house.

Xu Ning took a sip of tea and shook his head: "What's good? From now on, we have to support each other in life. She listens to me in everything, so what if I do something wrong? She has to remind me at the critical moment. .”

"OK!"

Meng Ziyan nodded: "I was too nervous before, so I felt embarrassed looking at him."

"I didn't know... I went into the house and chatted with Er Ning, and when the meat melted, I cut the tobacco into shreds and fried the sauerkraut."

"Haha, this is quite clear. If you hadn't stopped drinking, we would both have to drink two more cups at noon just because of this."

Xu Ning crossed her legs and smiled and said: "It's good to talk seriously, Uncle Meng. We get along very well now, much more relaxed than before."

He looked up at Meng Ziyan's red face and said with a smile: "I have been well nourished during this period. I am plumper than before, and I look more energetic."

Liu Fenfang tilted her head and looked at her with a smile but not a smile, and said: "Hey, hey, I'm still hiding and tucking you in with my mother. It's true that the old man forgot about his mother."

Liu Fenfang, who was in the outer room, was also very happy. She approached Meng Ziyan and asked in a low voice: "What were you two chatting about just now?"

"What are you afraid of? From now on, we are all members of our own family, so go and work in the outhouse."

"Hey..."

Meng Laizi was very happy, because Xu Ning's words put his daughter on a high level, which showed that he valued her very much, and it was enough to show that Xu Ning was serious in this relationship.

In the house, Xu Ning and Meng Zizi chatted happily. Xu Ning learned from him what he had seen and heard in Wanshuo Wanye, and chatted about the recent events. Meng Zizi sighed in his heart, Xu Ning can eat to his heart's content wherever he goes. If Yinhe is as enterprising as he is, then Meng Laizi will feel at ease.

Xu Ning grinned and tilted his head back. Although he didn't laugh out loud, he smiled very proudly.

"That's not the case, it's just that she follows my advice on everything and does everything I want."

Liu Fenfang smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Er Ning is a bit confused, but what he said is quite reasonable. I look at you two now, much more relaxed than the previous two times."

Meng Ziyan blushed and lowered her head, "Hey, I didn't talk about anything."

Liu Fenfang rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't this just teasing you? Why are you so ignorant of teasing?"

"Isn't this good?" Meng Laizi sat next to him, raised his head and said with a smile.

"kindness."

Liu Fenfang covered her eyebrows and smiled, raised her hand to pat her back, and said: "Haha, I knew you wouldn't be happy with it. Your dad and I have discussed the six dishes together. The main thing is that this one is nothing. Prepare, six dishes are just about the same, if you prepare them in advance, why don’t you prepare ten dishes.”

Meng Ziyan was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head and was a little confused. She opened her mouth and said, "Well, then, your new mother-in-law's first dinner at home is just two dishes. It will make people laugh if you tell me."

"Er Ning, you have to take care of Yinhe from now on. This kid is too playful to do anything serious all day long. I can't control him from now on, so you have to take care of him."

Xu Ning waved his hand and embraced him, "Don't worry, I treat Yinhe as my own brother. Uncle Meng, do you know about my second uncle's Hu Zi and Biao Zi? That little Qian'er made me jump so high that I was so full. The avenue is running wild..."

Meng Zizi felt a little flustered and distressed when he thought about the scene of Yinhe being beaten by Xu Ning, and said: "If you were like San Yue before, I would not dare to let you educate, but you have improved very well now, which shows that you have the ability to control yourself, so discipline Isn’t it good to discipline your little brother?”

"Yeah! Uncle Meng, I think Yinhe is quite obedient. What made you angry?"

"It's not that I'm angry. I just don't like him, but he hasn't been beaten since he was a child. I'm afraid that if I give him a sudden slap, it will easily extinguish his fire." "Hahaha..."

Xu Ning laughed, thinking that when Yinhe learns the craft from you, he will be scolded and beaten all day long, but you are still reluctant to cut it? That doesn't touch your bottom line.

Both Meng Zizi and Liu Fenfang like to make jokes with young people, and they usually joke with their daughter and daughter. Xu Erning is not an outsider, so Meng Zizi has no pressure to joke with him, and Xu Ning can chat with anyone. , not to mention Uncle Meng, who has an excellent relationship with the two families.

Until about 11 o'clock, the sound of cooking "Si La Si La" came from the outer room, and then the aroma of oil floated into the house. Xu Ning only needed to smell it to know that the Lao Meng family used two kinds of bear oil and peanut oil. Mixed.

When Meng Ziyan entered the room to set the table, Xu Ning wanted to go down to the ground to help pick up the dishes, but Meng Ziyan raised his hand to stop him.

If the two families usually have dinner together during Chinese New Year and holidays, there is nothing wrong with the junior helping out with the work, but what is the identity of Xu Ning this time?

Aunt-to-be!

So he must not be allowed to do any work.

I heard Xu Laowen say that when he and Liu Lizhen returned home after getting married, the old mother-in-law handed the shoes to Xu Laowen's feet just as he was about to go to the ground. Before the meal, the father-in-law poured the wine himself...

I don’t know whether this is true or not, because Xu Long was not around at the time. I only heard Xu Laowen’s words. When I asked Liu Lizhen, she just sneered twice, rolled her eyes and said nothing.

The purpose of saying this is not to emphasize that Xu Laowen is more powerful than others, but to say that at that time, the woman's family valued her father-in-law's visit.

At this moment, Meng Ziyan brought the last dish to the table, then raised her head and glanced at Xu Ning, who was sitting on the kang, and the two smiled at each other.

Meng Laizi saw the two people's eyes and said nothing. He walked down to the cabinet and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet.

"You said you don't drink, how can you handle this..."

"Uncle, don't be busy. I can't drink with you, but if we chat a little bit, you can drink too."

"Hahaha, that's true!" Meng Laizi laughed.

At this time, Liu Fenfang wiped her hands with a rag, opened the door curtain and entered the room, saying: "Yan, go and give your second brother some malted milk..."

"Hey, no! Auntie, I don't want to drink that wanying. You guys hurry up and get on the kang. Aren't there cans here? Cigarettes. Bring me a spoon. I'll get some canned water to drink. This wanying is better than wheat. Creamer is sweet.”

Liu Fenfang smiled and nodded: "That's okay, Er Ning, just don't be polite to Auntie."

"You definitely can't be polite. Based on what I just said, I'm not a polite person. There are eight dishes in total. What else should I drink? I'm full just from eating them."

Liu Fenfang and Meng Zizi originally ordered six dishes, but after they were all fried, Liu Fenfang thought about opening cans and mixing in some white fungus picked from the mountains.

"That's okay! Auntie won't be polite to you either."

Meng Ziyan entered the room with a spoon and put the spoon on the table in front of Xu Ning. Then she stood on the ground in a daze, because Liu Fenfang was sitting on the edge of the kang at the end of the kang, on the right hand side. It's Meng Laizi.

"What are you looking for? Sit next to your second brother." Meng Laizi said.

"Oh!" Meng Ziyan was delighted.

This was the first time she sat next to Xu Ning to eat. When the two families had dinner before, they were at two tables. Meng Ziyan sat at the Kang table to eat with Liu Lizhen and others, while Xu Ning sat at the floor table with Meng Ziyan and others. People drink.

"I'm going to serve your second brother the rice. Do you need me to teach you?"

Xu Ning looked at Meng Ziyan who was in a hurry and said with a smile: "Uncle Meng, we will serve the rice later. Let's start with the vegetables."

"Well, my daughter is very frizzy. You have to be more patient in the future."

Xu Ning said hurriedly: "Oh my god, Uncle Meng, aren't you ordering me? I've always been like this, so aren't you getting used to me? Besides, this is the first time she has dinner with me, so it's normal... "

Liu Fenfang smiled and said: "I didn't realize it, Er Ning quite understands women's hearts."

Meng Laizi used his chopsticks to pick up two pieces of willow root fish for Xu Ning, and said: "You must know something about it, after all, you have been living on the street for a long time. Er Ning, try your aunt's cooked willow root fish."

"Hey." Xu Ning heard Liu Fenfang start and felt that an embarrassing topic was about to come.

Sure enough, when he took a bite of the willow root, he heard Liu Fenfang say: "You have been living on the street for so long without finding a partner? That can't be done. With Er Ning's handsome appearance, why are so many little girls so curious about it?"

Meng Ziyan turned to look at his face, thinking that it was indeed pretty.

Xu Ning didn't panic at all when he heard this. He swallowed the food in his mouth calmly and said, "Auntie, I can't lie about this. With my face, there are indeed many little girls who dislike me. "

"But they only looked at my skin, not my soul... So, I didn't pay attention to it at all. But Zi Yan was devoted to me, which made my heart warm."

Meng Ziyan whispered: "I also like faces..."

Before she finished speaking, Meng Laizi put down his wine glass and nodded: "I believe this, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find..."

Before Meng Laizi could finish his words, Liu Fenfang scolded him twice and took over.

"What are you looking for for fun? Just make this nonsense. Er Ning, try the sauerkraut stir-fried by Ziyan. It's quite delicious."

"Yeah, it's really delicious."

Xu Ning grinned. In fact, he could predict what Meng Zizi and Liu Fenfang would ask. After all, he had many helpless times before, and what he had experienced in the years he had been living on the street. I basically never told my family about it, but the few times I was sent back by the police were very impressive.

"Er Ning, your family is building a new house. Are the wood and other materials ready?"

Xu Ning nodded: "It should be ready. My dad started preparing for this in the first two years."

In the past two years, Xu Laowen had prepared timber to build a house, so he accidentally recovered a piece of wood. Most of these timbers were placed in the forest farm or in the backyard of Lao Xu's house.

"What kind of house are you going to build?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I was thinking of building a brick house. This rammed adobe house in the northeast is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not bright when viewed outside."

"There are no people ramming adobe nowadays. Our place in Qing'an is Shengfeng Lao Liutouhui. It's good to build bricks and tiles. When the time comes, the house will be tidied up and it will be comfortable to live in."

"Well, when building a house this time, the kang must be carefully laid out, and the chimney flue must be straightened out, otherwise it will be blocked every day."

Meng Laizi nodded: "This is necessary!"

Meng Ziyan remained silent during the meal because there was no chance for her to interrupt. In addition, she was enjoying the feeling of sitting next to Xu Ning. From time to time, she turned her head to look at his side face, and then looked at him chatting with her parents. It was quite joyful, and there was an uncontrollable joy in my heart.
