Chapter Seventy-Four: A Visit from the Mother's Family
"But if it doesn't work, we don't have any work for them to do?"
You Lao Liu has always been straightforward, and he thought of where to say at this time, but as soon as he said it, he got the glares of his father and brothers, and he suddenly covered his mouth blankly, he seemed to have said the wrong thing? But he didn't say anything, did he?
You Laohan was worried that Ning Ning would be hit, so he wanted to play a round right away, but Ning Ning didn't care at all, and said his solution straightforwardly.
"Even if it doesn't work, our family has other work to do, didn't we just build a house? Before, I didn't think I had enough money, so I could only squeeze into one room, but now I can always build two more rooms. Although the weather is cold now, who will have the time to build a house when spring begins? ”
"Ning Ning is right, in fact, it doesn't have to be a house, you can build a few conservatories that are transparent on all sides. Even if the next time is not long enough, you can still sell more vegetables. In this long winter, you can't just wait for the beginning of spring. ”
When Old Man You said this, everyone agreed. Mainly in the past half a month, everyone has deeply realized that although Ning Ning is just a child, he has his own unique views on some issues. Not to mention anything else, the money their family has earned in the past few days is all because of Ning Ning, not to mention anything else, when it comes to having a good relationship with Sun Xianling and Mrs. Song, these big bosses in their family can't do it.
So this matter was settled, and what everyone is looking forward to now is whether the bean sprouts in Ningning's big basket can be successful, and Wushan, which is said to have gone out to collect medicine, but has not come back for two days in a row.
It's really strange to say, Wushan is not like the kind of person who disappears without saying a word. But that's how he disappeared. The You family didn't know where Wushan went, only Wu An, who was staying in the hospital bed, had a faint guess. Dad can't go back, right? It's just that on such a cold day, and the mountains are covered with heavy snow, will he not be safe alone? But in a blink of an eye, she remembered her father's relaxed appearance when he was a child walking on the ground between the tall and tall mountains and ravines, and Wu An felt that whoever would have problems in the mountains, her father would not.
The facts are indeed as Wu An guessed, and when it was almost noon the next day, Wushan came back in the dust, and the You family felt that he didn't come back alone, and he still had two tall men by his side. One of them looked to be about 40 years old, with a beard on his face, which made him look rather rugged. The other one is still a young man, but he is already as tall as his father. These two people are wrapped in gray-white wolf skins, looking at this dress, there is a kind of exotic style that is different from the people of Dali, but it is slightly different from Salindo's appearance.
When they came back, Ning Ning happened to stay halfway up the mountain to accompany her mother. Beside her are Dabao Erbao and Sister Xiaobei, who are idle and have nothing to do, and play with her. The four little girls were drying the beautiful stones they had collected in the sun. After drying, hold it in the palm of your hand, it is the poor man's version of a simple soup woman. Although these stones can easily become cold, they sit in the sun, and when they are cold, they spread out and dried.
At this time, Ning Ning suddenly raised his head. She seemed to hear a series of footsteps just now......
And this string of footsteps is calm and powerful, only adults can only hear it, they are halfway up the mountainside only grandpa's family lived, one of the footsteps is slightly familiar, but the other two have never heard of it. Seeing that Ning Ning was suddenly alert, Dabao Erbao and Xiaobei immediately put down the stone in their hands and touched the hoe leaning against the wall. After more than two years of escaping from the famine, I haven't learned anything else, and my vigilance against outsiders is innate. And Ning Ning has always been alert, judging by Ning Ning's reaction, a stranger must have come.
Today happened to be unfortunate, You Sifang took You Lao Liu to the county seat to deliver food, and Grandma You took a few granddaughters-in-law and daughters to Lizheng's house to help, only You Laohan and You Boss were at home. The children were playing, and the two of them couldn't sit still, so they picked up dry firewood halfway up the mountainside.
The moment they touched the hoe, the four little girls were already shouting loudly.
"Grandpa! Eldest brother! Come back soon! ”
"Grandpa!"
"Brother, where are you?! Come back! There are people I don't know! ”
Good guys, the children's voices are already crisp, and a few little girls are when their voices are sharp, so shouting, half of the mountains are alarmed, and the old man You Boss and a few children who are picking up firewood there heard it for the first time, and threw away the dry firewood in their hands, and rushed back with a white face.
On the way back, a few of them actually met, and Old Man You suddenly became even more anxious. Didn't you just say that you should let a few great-grandchildren stay there? How can this be disobedient? A few dry firewoods are as safe as Ningning?!
When the old man rushed to the courtyard in a hurry, he saw two tall men in fur clothes at a glance, and one of them stretched out his hand at Ning Ning's tender face. You Lao'er only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then shouted loudly.
"Stop!"
Fortunately, at this time, Ning Ning solved this misunderstanding with a single sentence. She gave a soothing smile to her grandfather, whose face was white in a hurry. Then he took the initiative to reach out and hold the fingers of the tall man standing in front of him.
"Grandpa, this is the eldest uncle. He's coming to see us! ”
The breath that had just been in his throat was swallowed instantly, and Old Man You'er's brain was running rapidly, and he finally extracted important information from this sentence. It's Ning Ning's uncle, then it's not a bad person, it's okay, it's still too late. Wait a minute! Who? Ning Ning's uncle? Isn't that the big brother of the Quartet?
Old Man You immediately looked the other party's tall figure up and down, and fought with You Sifang. I couldn't help but cry for my son. Before, the in-laws probably felt that they were elders, and they didn't do it with You Quartet, but now it's good that there is an uncle of the same generation. If there is a contradiction, he will definitely not pull the bias. After all, if he had hidden the two children from their parents, he would definitely be more annoyed than his in-laws.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with him, and Old Man You immediately walked over with a smile on his face, full of enthusiasm.
"In-laws, where have you been in the past two days? I can't wait for you to come back, I'm very worried. This is the eldest brother of the daughter-in-law! It looks like you. They are all first-class good men. Boss, go and bring the pot of broth that is boiling. It's freezing on this day, so let your grandfather and them warm up. ”
Old Man You was too enthusiastic, and the two people on the opposite side who were originally strained were a little unable to hold back, and barely showed a smile.
