In the evening, Xu is fine today, Ah Lian brought Xiao Yun over, Ah Zheng was very happy, and played with Xiao Yun with Ah Ping. Ning'er and Ah Lian talked in the yard, and by the way, put away the medicinal materials in the yard, the weather has been good these days, and it should have been dried yesterday, but yesterday Ning'er came back late, and it was already dewy when she collected it, although it was not wet, but it was damp, so she had to dry it for another day today.

"Today is the day of the third brother's exam, can the third sister-in-law be nervous?" Ah Lian asked casually as she helped Ning'er mend her clothes.

"I'm not nervous, and it's not for me to take the test. When the fourth brother took the exam, Ah Lian, were you also nervous?" Ning Er said to Ah Lian while putting away the dried herbs.

"At that time, I was fine, but Yan Xiang was nervous, and he came back in a hurry after the exam, thanks to the third brother's explanation!"

Ning Er smiled, "Don't worry about these for now, when Yanling comes back, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is time to prepare to make moon cakes." ”

"Yes, is the third sister-in-law going to make it herself this year? The third sister-in-law is very good, I want to try it first!" Ah Lian said.

"No, Ah Zheng and his younger brother want to taste it first, and the fourth aunt is not allowed to rob us!" Ah Zheng, who was playing with Xiao Yun and Ah Ping next to him, interjected.

"What, what, Xiao Yun too!" Xiao Yun next to him also came over and said.

"Okay! There are so many people who are worried about this before it is done, third sister-in-law! If you can't do it well, you're sorry for us!" Ah Lian looked at the children and said to Ning Er with a smile.

Ning Er rolled her eyes and said, "Some of them are good to eat, and they dare to pick and choose!"

"As long as it's made by my mother, it's delicious. "Ah Zheng is clever, and when he saw that his mother was unhappy, he hurriedly came over and patted his ass. Ning Er pinched Ah Zheng's gradually rounded cheeks, and sighed in her heart that the child was really cute because he still had meat on his face.

After playing around for a while, it was getting late, so Ah Lian took Xiao Yun back. Ning'er thought that she needed to go down to the field tomorrow to see, it shouldn't take long, she could just wash her clothes when she came back, and the day after tomorrow was the market day, so she went to buy some seasoning ingredients to make moon cakes. In this era, the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival are all made by themselves, and relatives will give each other moon cakes, which is more troublesome than going directly to the street to buy in modern times, but it is also more humane.

In a blink of an eye, it was the market day, and Ning'er put Ah Ping at Ah Lian's house, cleaned up the house, and then went out to the market. Ah Zheng went to school early, but the market was not until noon, so Ning'er set off a little late.

Probably because of the proximity to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the town is more lively than usual, Ning'er carries a backpack on her back, struggles to walk through the flow of people, and has long lost interest in lounging, just wants to buy things as soon as possible and go back. Walking out of a crowded street, Ning'er stood on the side of the road and was about to take a break and talk, but saw an acquaintance - Li Anxun.

On the corner of the street, a handsome man stood under the eaves and showed a hearty smile to Ning Er. In fact, Li Anxun is also a beautiful man, different from Shen Yanling's handsome and somewhat glamorous appearance, Li Anxun's appearance has a hint of coldness, which makes people dare not get too close, but a smile at this time makes people feel like 'suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms'. Ning'er looked at Li Anxun and said, "Hello Li Gongzi!"

Originally, Ning'er just saw someone she knew to say hello, but Li Anxun said, "Girl, let me wait!"

Ning Er raised her eyebrows, why didn't she remember that she asked this Li Gongzi to wait for her, "Ning Er doesn't remember that she had an appointment with Li Gongzi, how did she make Gongzi wait?"

Li Anxun smiled and said: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, I rarely come back, and I specially prepared a gift for the girl, which is counted as a thank you gift." With that, he handed the box in his hand to Ning'er.

Ning Er glanced sideways at Li Anxun, opened the box, and it turned out to be a snow lotus.

"I know that the girl doesn't love money, but since the girl is a medical student, she must like medicinal herbs, so I just got such a flower, so I gave it to the girl as a thank-you gift. Li Anxun explained.

Snow lotus is an extremely rare medicinal herb that grows in extremely high snow peaks, and there are not many of them, and more importantly, it is rare for someone to pick them. Of course, Ning Er didn't dare to accept such a valuable gift, so she handed it back to Li Anxun and said, "It's too precious, I can't accept it, Young Master Li's illness Master Li has already given a thank you gift, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Li Anxun didn't take the box handed back by Ning'er, and said, "I knew you would say that, but this snow lotus is a treasure in the eyes of your doctors, and to me it is just a relatively rare flower." It was given by someone else, and I will pass it on to you, and you will dispose of it, if you don't like it, sell it, throw it away, and give it away, it's up to you. ”

Ning Er was stunned for a moment, and saw that Li Anxun really didn't mean anything else, so she accepted it. Li Anxun nodded, turned around and left, Ning'er put away the box and rested against the wall, planning to wait for less people to go shopping again.

When Ning'er bought things and went home, the sun was already setting in the west, so she went to Shen Yanxiang's house to pick up Ah Ping back, Ning Er sorted and put the things she bought, and teased Ah Ping in the house. There are many people who buy meat today, Ning'er went late, and the meat she bought was not very good, but it was just a piece of fat and thin pork belly, and most of them were fat. Ning Er frowned slightly, and finally decided to make braised pork, and picked some lean meat to cook porridge for Ah Ping.

After lighting the fire, Ning'er cut the meat, picked up a few fresh potatoes dug up from the garden, peeled the skin, added various spices and stewed them with pork. The braised pork needs to be stewed thoroughly, so Ning'er took advantage of this time to start preparing for tomorrow's moon cakes.

When Ah Zheng came back, he smelled the fragrance of braised pork, and he came directly into the kitchen with his schoolbag on his back, and reached out to grab the meat to eat. Ning'er knocked off Ah Zheng's hand, told him to go back to the house and put his schoolbag, and washed his hands before coming. Ah Zheng looked at Ning'er resentfully, Ning'er was unmoved, so she had to honestly go back to the house and put her schoolbag, fetch water and wash her hands before coming. Ning'er was holding a bowl to feed Ah Ping, so she asked Ah Zheng to serve her own food, although Ah Zheng took care of her younger brother with her mother, she was not very satisfied with doing it herself, but she forgot to eat something.

Ning'er is very happy that her son is simple and cute in front of her, after all, no one would want her son to be sensible and well-behaved all day long. After feeding Ah Ping, Ning Er began to eat by herself, Ah Ping moved restlessly in his arms, so that Ning Er couldn't eat with peace of mind, and couldn't bear to blame, such a big child was not like this, until Ah Zheng ate and took Ah Ping out to play, Ning Er was able to live in peace.

After eating, Ning Er put away the dishes and chopsticks, and fried the similar peanuts and sesame seeds that she bought today on fire, let them cool, and then grind them and put them to make moon cakes tomorrow. There are not many people in the family, although they want to send it to relatives, but it is also a form, according to the amount of one person, other people's families also want to give back, Ning'er calculates that it is enough to make more than 20 of them, due to the limited materials, Ning'er only plans to make peanuts, fruits, and bean paste, and the bean paste has been prepared in advance.
