Eight people sat cross-legged on the kang, and everyone was a little distracted when they looked at this table of food full of color and aroma.

Wang Lei was the first to react and said: "Ming Nuan, look at what you are doing with so many dishes, you are too polite." ”

"Brother Wang, I've done everything well, if you don't eat it, you'll be spoiled tomorrow." Ming Nuan said with a smile.

"That's it, everyone, don't be polite, eat openly." Mingyang was on the side to help.

"Let's call this a big eater, don't eat for nothing, let me tell you, Ming Nuan's cooking skills are no worse than Ming Yang." Bai Weilie said shyly.

"I haven't eaten it yet, but I can smell the fragrance, Sister Mingnuan's craftsmanship is really good." Luo Wenwen covered his mouth and laughed twice, but he thought in his heart how much money would cost such a table of dishes and how many ingredients would be wasted, but seeing Huo Mingnuan and Huo Minghe didn't feel distressed at all, it was really wealthy, Huo Mingyang had to grasp it well.

Hua Xiao'e was smiling next to her and didn't speak, she had never seen so many vegetables, meat, and white bread, she felt like she was dreaming, she had a beautiful dream, she raised her head and glanced at Mingyang and quickly went down.

"Don't look at it, eat it." Mingyang gave full play to the consciousness of the master and greeted everyone.

Everyone moved their chopsticks and found that Bai Weilie's words were true, and Ming Nuan's cooking skills were very good.

"Brother Wang, have you decided on the matter with Sister Yao?" Mingyang asked.

It turned out that Wang Lei and a female intellectuals from the next village saw each other right, and it was already to the point of talking about marriage.

"Almost, we've already written to both parents, and her parents and my parents agree." Wang Lei smiled happily.

"What about the house, did you tell the team?" Jia Shengqiang asked beside him.

"Anyway, the captain said that there is still an empty house in the back, let us live in it, and Xiaoyao also said that it will be okay, and the food relationship will be transferred to our village in the future." Wang Lei has obviously arranged everything and is waiting to get married.

"Okay, when we're free, we'll clean up the house for you." Jia Shengqiang patted Wang Lei on the shoulder and said.

"Ming Nuan, I heard your eldest brother say that you should all have graduated from high school, right?" Luo Wenwen asked kindly.

Hua Xiao'e took a sip of the fish soup and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

"Uh-huh, just graduated this year."

"Then have you and Minghe figured out what to do, maybe I can help a little?" Luo Wenwen lowered his voice and said, "My father is the workshop director of Pingzhou Iron and Steel Plant, and he also said two words to the director of Jishi Iron and Steel Plant. ”

In fact, she said that her father was not a director at all, just an ordinary fitter.

"Thank you, Sister Luo, I don't need it for the time being, there are arrangements at home." Ming Nuan said with a smile.

"Oh, it's arranged, what are you going to do?" Luo Wenwen touched Ming Nuan's braid and said, "Ming Nuan, you are so beautiful, you have to be a factory flower in any factory." ”

"Thank you, Sister Luo, I haven't thought about what factory flowers are not factory flowers." Ming Nuan said lightly.

Luo Wenwen saw that Ming Nuan really didn't like her touting like this, so he changed the topic and talked about Ming Nuan's clothes.

Hua Xiao'e was still the same silent, except for occasionally stretching out her chopsticks, there was almost no sense of presence at other times.

……

At the end of the meal, Mingyang said to Luo Wenwen and Hua Xiao'e: "The two female comrades have to trouble you these days, and Ming Nuan has to live in your house." ”

"What's the trouble, it's not troublesome." Luo Wenwen said.

Hua Xiao'e shook her head next to her to indicate that it was not troublesome.

After eating, Luo Wenwen and Hua Xiao'e went back first, and Ming Nuan said that they would clean up before going over.

After going back, Luo Wenwen opened his suitcase, took out a washed sheet and spread it next to him, Hua Xiao'e sat on the kang, she also wanted to take out something, but she didn't have anything.

Ming Nuan knocked on the door with something, Luo Wenwen opened the door under the kang, saw that Ming Nuan was still holding something, and said, "What else do you want to get here, Sister Luo has prepared it for you." ”

"Thank you, Sister Luo, my brother is also ready for me." Ming Nuan didn't want to use other people's things, especially the bedding.

Hua Xiao'e helped Ming Nuan take the things, and Luo Wenwen saw that Ming Nuan had prepared everything, so he had to put away the things he had prepared again.

It's summer now, and there are kang mats on top of the kang, and you only need to lay a thin-walled mattress to sleep.

Ming Nuan laid out the thin mattress and sheets, and laid out the towels.

Seeing that the towel that Ming Nuan brought was flashed by Luo Wenwen's eyes, this green towel was something she had never seen before, she knew that now Mingyang was covered with a blue one, take a closer look, this towel quilt still has creases on it, indicating that it is new.

"It's not early, Sister Xiao'e, Sister Luo, let's sleep." Ming Nuan said.

"Wow, I have to go down to the ground tomorrow, go to bed early today." Luo Wenwen took off his coat.

Ming Nuan took off the skirt outside, revealing the underwear worn inside, which was naturally produced by the space, and Ming Nuan deliberately chose the most conservative style, the girl series of pure cotton.

Luo Wenwen saw Ming Nuan's underwear and said in surprise: "Ming Nuan, your underwear is so good-looking, did your mother make it for you?" ”

"Hmm," Ming Nuan nodded.

At this time, girls are wearing a vest inside, and some even wrap their breasts with cloth, this era is ashamed to mention all sex-related things, some girls even dare not raise their heads and chest because their breasts are too big, and walk with their heads bowed and hunched back every day, for fear of being discovered, and some girls wrap their breasts tightly, as if this can blur the boundaries of gender.

Hua Xiao'e glanced at Ming Nuan's underwear enviously, no wonder Ming Nuan looked so good in Bragi, if she dared to wear it, her parents would definitely say that she was immoral.

Ming Nuan changed her nightdress and said to Hua Xiao'e: "Sister Xiao'e, I've changed it, you blow the lamp." ”

At this time, Lianchigou was still lit by oil lamps, and even in later generations, there was no power supply in some mountainous areas.

There was some moonlight coming in, and the room was very quiet, and after a while, Ming Nuan and Luo Wenwen both let out a steady breathing sound.

Hua Xiao'e turned over slightly, she had some insomnia.

When she was young, she was not favored because she was a girl and the child in the middle, she never wore new clothes since she was a child, she changed her mother's clothes to her to wear, and her parents did not let her study after graduating from primary school, and stayed at home to do housework, take care of her younger brothers and sisters, and she was a transparent person at home except when she was working.

When she was a child, she thought that it was because she was a girl, and it was natural for her parents to love her brother and brother more, but when her sister was born, she found that she was wrong, she was also a girl, but her sister could get the love of her parents.

Parents were reluctant to let the eldest brother go to the countryside to endure hardships, let the fourteen-year-old go to the countryside instead of the eldest brother, she did not refuse, and she could not allow her to refuse, or she was even happy in her heart, even if it would be very hard here, but she escaped from that home.

She will always remember the day when the snow fell, Mingyang smiled and handed her clothes, she felt the warmth for the first time, it turned out that the taste of being cared for was so beautiful.

But the more she comes into contact with Mingyang, the more inferior she becomes, Mingyang is so good, knows a lot, sunny and cheerful, helpful, although he reads a lot of books, he has never looked down on others, mingle with the young men in the village, he never worries about his livelihood, every once in a while he will send a big package to his family, he will be bold to share what his mother made for everyone to eat.

These were things she would never have imagined, her birth was so humble, her parents would never send her anything, and every time she wrote a letter asking her to save and send back what she had saved.

Mingyang treats everyone as warm as spring, looking at his smile, sometimes she even forgets her ordinary appearance, shabby clothes, low education, and that bottomless pit family and vampire-like parents, she fantasizes that she can be worthy of him.

It wasn't until one day that she heard two female intellectuals from other villages discussing, and he knew that Mingyang's father was the chief of the army, and her mother was the vice president of the hospital, and this reality pulled her out of her dream, and the gap between her and Mingyang was so huge that she would never be able to cross it.

Brother Wang and Sister Yao's marriage made her see hope again, Mingyang didn't know when she would be able to go back, he would see it if he had been with him, just when her flame of hope was ignited again, the arrival of Ming Nuan and Ming He extinguished her hope again.

Looking at the skirt on Ming Nuan's body during the day, she felt like an ugly duckling next to the white swan, Ming Nuan's every move was so good-looking, so elegant, even the matter of cooking did not damage her fairy spirit at all, Ming Yang faced such a beautiful sister every day, how could she like her who looked ordinary.

Today's dinner is a sumptuous meal that she can't imagine, even if the family celebrates the New Year, it is considered a fat year to have a meat dish, and there is also oil for stir-frying, which is enough for their family to eat for several months.

She chewed on the dishes made by Ming Nuan, and even thought that if she could cook with so much oil, it would definitely be delicious, but she felt that it was just her own delusion, and at night looking at the new sheets and towels brought by Ming Nuan, she felt deeply inferior, and she didn't even have the idea of jealousy.

She envies Ming Nuan's boldness and unrestrainedness, showing her figure, not afraid, not twisting, she even has a skirt that she wears when she sleeps, it is also so good-looking, she has never seen a pink skirt, but wearing Ming Nuan, she thinks no one will look better than Ming Nuan.

She knows that there are still many girls here who like Mingyang, there are girls in the village, and there are also educated youth, such as Luo Wenwen, they regard Mingyang as the most perfect marriage partner, his good background, cheerful personality, and profound knowledge are deeply attracted to them, including herself and Luo Wenwen, but after she saw such a Ming Nuan today, she felt that Ming Yang would not take a fancy to any of them, because they could only be reduced to foils in front of Ming Nuan.

At this moment, Hua Xiao'e thought of an idiom called self-ashamedness.
