Chapter Ninety-One: Invitation
After being full of wine and food, Father Ning took his sister-in-law to the living room to continue the unfinished tea making business just now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ning's mother and Ning Zhichu's two aunts began to clean up the dishes. As for Ning Zhichu and the four children, they were sent aside by adults to play by themselves.
Ning Zhichu originally wanted to help clean up the table, but before he could do anything, he was dismissed by his sister-in-law Ning Xi. There was no way, Ning Zhichu had no choice but to take Ning Ke and the three yellow-haired little girls to the living room to watch TV.
At this time, TV was not like later generations, there were unusually colorful but uneven variety shows, turning over and over, it was nothing more than a few martial arts TV series adapted from martial arts novels, or extremely boring news programs.
Ning Zhichu watched it for a while, and couldn't hold it anymore, so he directly left the three little girls who were watching with relish, went back to his house, found the physics textbook from the previous junior high school, and read it.
I don't know if it's because I'm tired from running all the way, Ning Zhichu didn't look at it for long, so he dozed off, and then fell asleep on the table. In a daze, Ning Zhichu seemed to hear Ning's mother walk in, disgusted with a few complaints, "Why did you fall asleep on the table" and so on, and helped him lie flat on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Nothing was said all night.
When I returned home, I felt that everything was so familiar, Ning Zhichu slept peacefully this night, although the bed at home was also a hard bed, but it was no longer as often as wakes up in the middle of the night like sleeping on the hard bed at school.
The strong habit of the biological clock made Ning Zhichu wake up at five o'clock in the morning. At this time, it was still dark, as if the bowl was covered with a cloth.
In the winter morning, it was already very cold, and the temperature was abnormally low, hovering around 10 degrees to 212 degrees. The cold wind howled, piercing people's skin and bones. Lying in the warm quilt, Ning Zhichu lay in bed for half an hour before getting up.
It was very painful to wash up with cold water, and Ning Zhichu got up and went to the kitchen at home to take a look. Fortunately, because of the reason for holding a farmhouse, Ning's father specially bought a refrigerator, and the refrigerator stored the leftover vegetables and meat products used before.
After looking at it, Ning Zhichu thought about it, so he only took the greens and 3 duck eggs, and prepared to make a fried greens and fried eggs in the morning.
Ning Zhichu, who was grinning with his teeth frozen in cold water, washed the vegetables in two clicks, selected them, and cut them into pieces of different shapes but not small. Then when the water was almost dry, Ning Zhichu put the green vegetables into the pot where the oil was already boiling and began to stir-fry.
Maybe Ning Zhichu's movements were too big, or the sound of the vegetables that had not been completely drained touching the boiling oil made a noise to Ning's mother. Not long after Ning Zhichu started, Ning's mother walked out of the wing room rubbing her eyes.
"Well, Achu, are you up? Why don't you sleep more? ”
Ning Zhichu stir-fried it again, shook his head, and said, "Mom, I went to bed early yesterday, and I can't sleep now." Do you want to go sleep for a while, I've got breakfast for you today. ”
"Hehe, good boy." Mother Ning walked up to Ning Zhichu and rubbed Ning Zhichu's head. Ning Zhichu wanted to hide, but he didn't dodge, so he had to stand there and be rubbed by Ning's mother.
Ning's mother said, "It's almost 6 o'clock now, I'll go wash up, and then go feed the chickens and ducks." By the way, if you want to eat duck meat, if you do, I will slaughter a duck in the afternoon and stew it in the evening. ”
Ning Zhichu shook his head, "No need to kill another one, didn't you just eat it yesterday?" ”
At dinner last night, Ning Zhichu's family ate the leftover duck meat ordered by the guests. Originally, the group of guests ordered a chicken and a duck, who knew that after a while, they preferred to eat tender chicken, so a plate of intact duck meat was returned by them, which was also cheap for Ning Zhichu's family.
Mother Ning looked disgusted, "That's someone else's leftovers, and it's still an old duck, how can it be compared." That's it, I'm going to kill a younger duck this afternoon and eat it later. ”
At this point, Ning Zhichu had nothing to say, so he had to concentrate on stir-frying.
By the time it was a quarter past 6 o'clock, Ning had gotten up from bed. Then when Ning Ke finished washing, she was sent by Ning Zhichu to tell Ning's father to get up. After all, Ning Zhichu had already prepared the greens and fried eggs, and even the porridge could be eaten.
After the family of four quietly finished breakfast, Ning's father and mother ran to the field to see the growth of eggplants and check the plastic shed to prevent it from being blown by the wind or bitten by small animals such as mice.
Ning Zhichu, who is bored at home, doesn't want to do his homework right away. But if it was replaced by him urging others to do their homework, then Ning Zhichu would still be willing.
So, Ning Ke, who originally wanted to watch TV, was carried to her room by Ning Zhichu to write her winter vacation homework. made Ning Ke very dissatisfied, and called Ning Zhichu a bad brother.
However, no matter how reluctant she was, in front of her brother, she still had to obediently do her homework. Ning Zhichu sat behind Ning Ke, leisurely picked up a magazine, and read it with relish.
It's just that before a quarter of an hour has passed, a deep male voice sounded outside the door, "Lao Ning, Lao Ning, are you there?" If you have a letter from your son, come out and get it. ”
I'd rather listen to it, "Hey, isn't this Uncle Wang, the postman in the east of the village?" ”
After speaking, Ning threw down the pen and homework book in his hand and ran out.
"This girl."
Ning Zhichu shook his head, sighed, put the winter vacation homework book on Ning Ke's desk neatly, put the pen in order, and then walked out.
"Eh, Lao Ning is not here? Then I'll give you the letter, you have to take it, I'll go and deliver it to the next one first. ”
"Well, Uncle Wang, go slowly."
When Ning Zhichu walked to the door, he only had time to see the postman carrying a green package and riding his bicycle into the distance.
I'd rather take the envelope and flip it over and over, "Eh, brother, this is a letter to you." Haidu sent it? ”
Ning Ke, who had already read the sixth grade and knew a lot of words, pointed to the words on the envelope and asked Ning Zhichu curiously.
Ning Zhichu shook his head and laughed, he didn't have any friends in Haidu, how could someone send a letter from Haidu? Most of the time the mail courier got the wrong name and sent him a letter with the same name and surname.
However, when Ning Zhichu took the envelope and looked at the cover, he sighed in surprise. Just because the envelope has the recipient's address written on it, which is indeed the mailing address of his home. The name is the same, Fang Fangzheng is writing the three words Ning Zhichu.
"It's weird."
Ning Zhichu, who felt something surprised in his heart, under the urging of Ning Ke, directly opened the envelope, wanting to look at what was written in the envelope.
In the envelope, there was a letterhead and a red invitation. Ning Zhichu didn't pay attention to the letterhead first, but directly opened the invitation letter, only to see that the invitation letter read:
Dear Mr. Ning Zhichu (pen name Shinya): Hello!
