On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the Xiao family finished the gift boxes ordered in each factory, and some of the small and scattered tasks ordered before were also completed, and the money owed to buy noodles and sugar and oil outside was also settled, and the house was cleaned up, which can be regarded as quiet.

Xiangling didn't have to go to Xiao's house to help, so she prepared New Year's goods at home.

In previous years, Zhang Heping and Secretary An celebrated the New Year, the home was cold and cold, Secretary An was not very good at cooking, and Zhang Shuping would not cook these northern New Year's foods, and the two of them lived a very clean life.

This year is different, there is peace at home, and Xiangling is recognized, and the whole family is lively.

An Ning took a vacation on the twenty-third day, she couldn't stay at home, and ran out to play every day.

Secretary An didn't think about detaining An Ning at home, children, innocent, lively and playful is nature.

Besides, An Ning did not delay his studies.

She took the first place in the grade in the final exam this time, except for a point deducted from the composition in the language, the rest of the subjects were full marks, not to mention the county, but also in the city and the province.

When An Ning took the report card back and asked the parents to sign it, Zhang Heping and Secretary An were very happy.

As soon as Secretary An was happy, he gave An Ning money and gave her ten yuan to buy food.

Xiangling was also happy.

In the Xiao family, her brother studied well, got a full score in the exam, and returned to his hometown, and his sister studied well, which made Xiangling feel very glorious.

She had money in her hand again, and she also gave An Ning ten yuan to buy candy to eat.

An Ning ran out with a huge sum of twenty yuan to play with his friends and went to be a fortune boy.

Xiangling stayed at home to eat.

She steamed two pots of steamed buns, steamed flower rolls, beans, and sugar triangles or something, and spent the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month making noodles.

At twenty-six, Xiangling got up early and began steaming rice cakes.

In the morning, Xiangling steamed two pots of rice cakes.

At noon, the family didn't make anything else, just ate rice cakes.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Xiangling began to cook meat croquettes.

On this day, the house has been filled with the smell of meat and oil, and An Ning didn't care about going out to play, so he followed Xiangling around the kitchen.

Xiangling cooks meat, she watches the fire, and Xiangling croquettes she follows behind and steals a small meatball from time to time to eat.

Xiangling didn't look at it, and after frying the meatballs, she began to fry fish and chicken, and from time to time she stuffed an Anning piece for her to try.

Zhang Heping and Secretary An smelled the smell of meat coming from the house, and they were very happy in their hearts.

After all these years, this year is like a life, and this New Year is happy.

At the age of twenty-eight, Hou Jun finished the clothes, and Xiangling went to pick up the clothes.

She came back with four sets of clothes, first asked Zhang Heping and Secretary An to try it, and then gave her the small skirt and coat made for An Ning, and asked her to go to the house to change into it and see if it looked good.

The three of them changed their clothes and came out, and Xiangling looked in a circle: "It's so good-looking, Brother Hou's craftsmanship is amazing, it's really ......"

She saw An Ning wearing a bright red skirt, wearing white fur clothes outside, her little face was white and pure, and her eyes were big and bright, she really looked like a little fairy, so she couldn't love it.

"Our Ning Ning is so good-looking, this dress is too suitable for Ning Ning, except for Ning Ning, no one else can wear this effect. ”

Secretary An was also satisfied.

The main thing is that this is the daughter's heart.

She smiled at Zhang Heping, and said to Xiangling: "Look at your father's beauty, I don't know how to walk when I wear this dress, you see, he must wear it and go out to show off during the New Year." ”

An Ning took off his coat and held it in his hand, jumped to Secretary An and said, "Mom, when I grow up, I will buy clothes for my father and you, I have saved money, I will buy you whatever you want." ”

Secretary An's eyes were about to turn into a slit when he said this: "Okay, Mom is waiting." ”

"I also bought it for my sister. ”

An Ning smiled at Xiangling again: "Buy a lot of clothes for my sister, and dress my sister up beautifully." ”

Xiangling touched An Ning's head: "Good." ”

Xiangling also tried on her own clothes, they really fit, and she looked good in them.

After everyone had tried on the clothes, Xiangling hurried out.

She didn't go shopping, but went to Hou Jun's house.

The place in Hou Jun's house is very large, that place is the old house of Hou Jun's family, and it was robbed when it was chaotic earlier, and then the Hou family was rehabilitated, and the house was returned.

However, at that time, the house was not decent, so Hou Jun earned his own money to renovate it.

There are more than a dozen houses in his family, and the depth is not small, the front side is used as the door, Hou Jun has become a clothing shop, and the house behind is inhabited.

Now there is only Hou Jun left in the Hou family, and he lives in such a big house, which is very cold.

Hou Jun is a big man, he really doesn't know how to cook, and he always dealt with it how to deal with it during the Chinese New Year in previous years.

This year's Chinese New Year, Hou Jun feels different.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Xiangling worked hard at Hou Jun's house for a day, prepared steamed bean buns or something for him, gave him croquettes, stewed chicken nuggets and steamed fish, and made a few steamed bowls later.

It's getting dark.

When Xiangling left, she also instructed Hou Jun: "You put the steamed bean buns in the big urn, put them in the shade of the place, you can put them for a long time, you can keep the steamed bowl hot on the first day of the new year, I will wrap dumplings and send you some on Chinese New Year's Eve, you will freeze in the cold room, and cook it in the morning of the new year." ”

Hou Jun couldn't stop nodding: "I know, I've worked hard for you." ”

He saw that Xiangling was leaving, and hurriedly said, "You wait a minute." ”

Hou Jun went back to the house and took a lot of things and stuffed them to Xiangling: "You take it back and eat it, I can't eat it alone anyway." ”

Xiangling looked at it, there was braised pork bought, and some fruits and sugar melon seeds or something.

Hou Jun should not be bad for money, the sugar he bought is all good sugar, there are milk candy, chocolate candy, all kinds of beautifully packaged fruit candy, in addition to melon seeds, there are many dried fruits that Xiangling has never seen.

Hou Jun smiled: "The dried fruits I asked my friends in other places to bring back, you can take them back and eat them." ”

Xiangling didn't refuse.

She also knew that if she didn't want it, Hou Jun would definitely be reluctant to go: "Then I'll go." ”

Hou Jun kept sending Xiangling to the gate, watching her walk away, Hou Jun was still standing at the door to take a look.

When he returned home and went into the kitchen to smell the smell of all kinds of rice, he felt that this day seemed to be less deserted, as if it was a little interesting, and there were fireworks at home, which could really warm people's hearts.

When Xiangling went to Hou Jun's house to help, An Ning received a letter.

The letter was sent to the steel factory, and it was written that Zhang Anning had received it, and the uncle in the mailroom in the factory didn't know who Zhang Anning was, but after inquiring, he knew that it was the little daughter of Zhang Heping's family.

The uncle sent the letter to Zhang Heping's family, and An Ning was stunned for a while when he read the envelope.

This letter came from the capital, and An Ning didn't expect anyone in the capital to write to her for a while.

She opened the letter and read it, and it turned out to be written by He Erniu.

He Erniu went to school, she is literate, and it is not strange to write letters, but why did He Erniu write to her?

An Ning read the letter before he understood.

When He Erniu left, she asked An Ning to get an idea, and An Ning asked her to go to the capital, and she really went to the capital.

After she passed, she didn't find a job at the beginning, so she washed dishes and dishes in a small restaurant for a few days, and then met a few fellow villagers in Y County, and was introduced to work as a nanny.

The family where she works has two elderly people in the family, and these two old men are professors at Beijing University.

Their children and grandchildren are not around, and the old man is old, and he is a little unable to cook and clean up the housework, so he wants to find someone who can work to take care of them.

He Erniu is quite capable, and she is also delicate and likable, so as soon as she came to the door, the two old men left her after talking to her.

After He Erniu stayed, she didn't have any intention of playing tricks, she took care of the elderly wholeheartedly, cleaned up the house, washed clothes and cooked, and even massaged the old man, anyway, she was very dedicated.

The old man is old, he goes to bed early, and the family has a small population, and there are not too many things, He Erniu is enough to do during the day, and at night, she seizes the time to study.
