In the clear blue night sky, a few stars hung low, probably because it was raining in the morning, and it was a little wet and heavy.

Zhang Ning, who came out of the commissary to buy water, walked to a stone bench under a large ginkgo tree and sat down. Listen to the elderly people around me drinking tea and chatting loudly in dialect, and there will be a few laughs from time to time.

"Everyone, let's go for supper!" The woman opened her mouth and shouted, and the old people who were chatting stood up one after another, ready to walk to the place where they were eating. Seeing her sitting there alone, a fat, small-eyed woman walked over quickly.

"Why don't you sit here by yourself with your mom?" The woman stretched out her chubby hand, looked at Zhang Ning lovingly, touched her soft hair and asked.

"I'm going to go around by myself, and I'll go back later." Zhang Ning looked up at her, under the white light, he could see her appearance clearly, and she was still wearing the apron that was busy this afternoon, and she had a strong smell of belonging to the kitchen.

"Rest early, wake up early tomorrow. Let's go back together, have some supper, and go to bed later. Supper is light, and tomorrow after the sacrifice to the ancestors, the official dishes will be served, you know this. Zhang Erniang was chattering beside Zhang Ning, suddenly stopped chattering, looked at Zhang Ning and asked Zhang Ning in dialect Did you take a bath?

Zhang Ning almost crossed the high threshold, nodded and said, "Washed." ”

"That's good, you go find your grandfather and them yourself, and I'll help serve the food." After Zhang Erniang finished speaking, she trotted up and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

To the east is a residential building, to the west is an ancestral hall with incense, and on both sides there is a long corridor. People are constantly coming and going on the promenade, and children are chasing each other. After seeing Zhang Ning, there were various embarrassing titles such as calling aunt, aunt, sister-in-law, etc. Zhang Ning could only nod stiffly in response, and walked quickly in the direction of the residential building.

"Sister, I'm back!" Zhang Wanwan saw Zhang Ning coming over and shouted.

"Ning Ning, I was trying to find you. Call you, you don't answer. Zhang Yanyuan and Zhang Wanwan, who were about to walk out of the dining room, saw Zhang Ning walk in, Zhang Yanyuan said.

"I left my phone in my room and charged."

After Zhang Ning sat down, he looked around and saw his grandfather at the other table, and there was no mother. looked at Zhang Yanyuan and asked, "Why hasn't my mother come yet?" ”

"She ate with your cousin on the second floor. It's hot, blow and blow before eating. Zhang Yanyuan put the green vegetable gruel in front of the two sisters and said.

"I don't want to drink porridge, you can drink it. I'm going to eat cold noodles. Zhang Wanwan looked at the steaming gruel, and then looked at Zhang Yanyuan and said.

"Accept it, don't say it sooner." Zhang Yanyuan put down the empty bowl that was ready to hold the porridge, handed it to Zhang Wanwan, and brought the bowl of porridge to himself.

Zhang Wanwan sandwiched the cold skin noodles, then slowly poured the sauce on them, stirred and stirred. looked up and saw the kimchi in the distance, and gave it to Zhang Ning, "Come on, you like it." After saying that, he began to eat his noodles with joy.

Zhang Ning, who was drinking gruel, watched Zhang Wanwan eating noodles, looked at his porridge again, and drank it.

"Do you want to eat it too? If you want to eat, pour me the rest of the porridge. When I was a child, I ate what you had leftovers. Zhang Yanyuan said the back and sighed.

Zhang Wanwan added noodles to the bowl again, poured the sauce and stirred, put it in front of Zhang Ning, took the porridge she had eaten from her hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "Eat, sister will eat yours too." ”

Zhang Ning was suddenly relieved, looking at Zhang Wanwan's sweet smile, his nose was a little sour, and he lowered his head and ate the bowl of noodles.
