Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 386 Solve it fundamentally

After drinking, eating, and enjoying themselves, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Huo Lang politely refused everyone to stay and help, while Si Ningning rushed to comfort Jiang Yue alone when everyone was leaving, until she teased Jiang Yue to show her small face again, and then let go of Jiang Yue to go back to the educated youth together with the others point.

The small courtyard suddenly became quiet, the two tables inside and outside the room were in a mess, Si Ningning rolled up his sleeves, and planned to join the collection team, but was stopped by Huo Lang halfway.

"What's wrong?" Si Ningning asked puzzled.

Huo Lang shook his head, "It's okay, you don't need to clean up here."

On the first day of the wedding, originally he didn't intend to let Si Ningning get his hands dirty, but when he thought of something, Huo Lang said in a roundabout way: "Look at what other dishes are in the kitchen, and make two decent ones, there will be guests coming soon .Outside, I will take Hegu to clean up.”

what guest?
Didn't come at the banquet just now, came after all the guests dispersed?

Although he was puzzled, Si Ningning didn't say much, and nodded, put on his clothes and went to work in the kitchen.

He Gu carried the small bucket back and forth with Huo Lang to clean up, while San Miao, who was dressed in new clothes, followed Si Ningning back and forth, helping to choose vegetables and light the fire.

New Year’s Eve is not easy. In the villages and villages, everything is kept simple, regardless of the day or night. There are two decent dishes, and a solid bowl of coarse grains and fine grains is already a big deal. Another two big tables were set up in a fleshy manner, which has been a rare scene in recent years or more than ten years.

There are a lot of ingredients to prepare, even if there are two big tables, there are still a lot left in the kitchen. Si Ningning hastily cleaned up, sweeping all the garbage and unusable leftovers into the slop bucket, and put the remaining vegetables and meat separately.

The rice is ready-made, the ingredients are packed, and it is easy to make. Si Ningning makes it according to his mood. One serving of sauced pork trotters, one serving of steamed fish, one serving of cold shredded chicken, and one serving of stir-fried seasonal vegetables , and another small mushroom egg soup, there are meat and vegetables and soup, it should be almost the same.

Looking at the results of his busy work, Si Ningning couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

Thinking that the guests should have arrived almost, Si Ningning set up a steaming plate in the back pot, moved all the vegetables in to heat up, and the front pot emptied out to heat up the rice, just as if he was busy, suddenly there was a conversation in the front room.

Si Ningning turned his head, and San Miao, who was at the mouth of the stove, stretched his neck to look curiously.

Huo Lang was the first to walk towards the kitchen. The aisle leading from the main room to the kitchen was not narrow, but he was tall and burly. When he walked towards him, Si Ningning couldn't see the guests behind him standing in the kitchen.

Si Ningning took two steps to meet her, just about to ask, but Huo Lang took her hand first, held her hand in his wide palm and squeezed it, as if signaling something.

Si Ningning subconsciously turned his head to look towards the main room, and when he saw it, he was stunned.

The joy of newlyweds faded away, Si Ningning's ruddy face gradually turned pale, and a wave of anger reshaped her brain. She took a step forward and wanted to rush out to question, but before the first step landed, Huo Lang held her shoulder and pulled her back.

Si Ningning's eyes were sparkling and her expression was stubborn. Huo Lang wiped away the tears that burst out of her eyes with distress, and said with encouragement in a heavy voice:

"Any dependence and fear will only make you the child who can only escape because of fear. Books can't give you the answer, and others can't solve it for you. Aning, maybe you can try to be calm, try to face and accept?"

"I will always regard you as a treasure, and always take care of you in the palm of my hand, but I know that you don't want to be treated like a child by me and others forever."

"When an egg is opened from the outside, it can only be food, but when it is opened from the inside, it is a new life."

The hairs on Si Ningning's back stood on end, even though she resisted, Huo Lang's words calmed her down.

Taking a few deep breaths, Si Ningning controlled his emotions and looked at the main room again.

In the main room, Si Zhennan, who was dressed in an imposing tunic suit and carrying a briefcase, seemed a little restless. He had a kind smile on his face, but after meeting Si Ningning's eyes, he restrained his smile with his hands and feet bound. Too cautious to laugh, let alone say a word.

It looks like Si Ningning is a father and mother, and Si Zhennan is a son and daughter.

Si Ningning looked at him in silence for a while, and finally let go, turned around and rubbed the corners of his eyes calmly, busy serving the food, "Please sit down."

"I'll come, I'll come. You take off your clothes and wash your hands. You ate some food on the table just now, and you didn't eat anything else. I'll serve you some food."

Huo Lang pushed Si Ningning aside, and he was busy in front of the stove.

Seeing this scene from afar, the worry in Si Zhennan's heart was gradually healed. Inadvertently, his dry lips evoked a gratified smile. It was this brief moment that Si Ningning captured again.

Si Ningning looked at Si Zhennan as if looking at a stranger, and Si Zhennan became cautious again just like before.

When Huo Lang was busy with work, he took a break to look at the main room, and seeing that the atmosphere was not good, he put the rice into the tray twice, and brought it to the main room table along with the other two dishes, "Come along, you haven't eaten yet, have you? These are all made by Ning Ning himself, sit down and eat."

Compared to Si Ningning, who had eyes that devoured people, Huo Lang, who was handsome and kind, was simply not easy to talk to. Si Zhennan didn't hold his hand, just like a small employee in front of his boss, he sat down on the table politely and evasively.

There were still a few dishes in the pot that hadn't been taken out. Huo Lang turned around with the tray, looked at Si Ningning in the middle and said, "Ah Ning, what are you doing standing there? Pour a glass of water."

It was Huo Lang's deliberation to invite Si Zhennan to come over.

During the heavy snowfall a year ago, Huo Lang really felt Si Ningning's fragility. He didn't want to do it again, but some things couldn't be solved by being cautious all the time. Instead, he had to start from the root, which is why he has today's situation. out.

Si Ningning reluctantly poured water, Huo Lang smiled at Si Zhennan, and then went to the kitchen.

Passing the water to Si Zhennan, Si Ningning sat down opposite him, "Did he tell you to come?"

"Who? Ah, yes." Si Zhennan rubbed and twirled the enamel jar, "He said that the girl's family is married, and it's shameful not to have relatives by her side, so..."

"You think so too, that's why you're here? Heh!"

Before Si Zhennan could finish his sentence, Si Ningning interrupted him with a sneer.

Huo Lang's letter did say so, but Si Zhennan's real thoughts were not like this. Seeing that he was misunderstood, Si Zhennan quickly explained:
"I've never thought about it this way... Marriage is a big event. Parents should attend. I want to come, but I didn't get any letter about it before, and I hesitated when I came. I was afraid that you would blame me and refused to let me come. "

"Yes, you still have some self-knowledge." Si Ningning mocked.

Si Zhennan didn't say anything.

Si Zhennan still remembered what happened when Si Ningning went back to the city to visit relatives last year. He knew that he was not a competent father, so now he is not welcomed by his daughter.
