Chapter 37 The Rescue Sent by Secretary Lu
Ning Xi picked up another pear and continued to peel it, "Xiao Bei, eat a pear."

Passed the peeled pear to Lu Bei, Ning Xi peeled another pear and handed it to Lu Nan, and cut two more pears into small pieces to invite the stall owners who hadn't left to eat the pears together.

"Sister Ning, is this your husband?"

"En! My husband Lu Nan." Ning Xi generously introduced Lu Nan to everyone.

Lu Nanke politely greeted everyone.

When the last bit of spicy strips were sold out, the four of them closed the stall together and got on the bullock cart to go home.

Chen Jing came and brought over the 200 glass bottles that Ning Xi had ordered. Lu Zhenghua and Zhou Hui also came back. The couple were the rescuers brought by Secretary Lu.

Lunch has already been prepared, because it is very hot in the yard, Ning Xi and his group of juniors ate at the small table in the kitchen.

After Lu Bei and the others finished their meal and went out, Zhang Ying asked aloud, "Sister-in-law, did uncle and aunt come back because of third uncle's divorce?"

Chen Jing nodded, "Yes! A few people talked for a long time in the main room this morning, and it was quite unpleasant."

"It seems that Third Uncle is determined to divorce Third Aunt this time." Zhang Ying took a bite of the food, then looked at Ning Xi, "Xiao Xi, don't let Xiao Nan persuade you."

Ning Xi looked helpless, "Brother Nan said last night that he respects my father-in-law's decision."

Chen Jing also said aloud, "Let them solve the elders' affairs by themselves. We, the younger generations, don't get involved."

Zhang Ying didn't say anything, and changed the subject with a smile, "Xiaoxi, what are the arrangements for the afternoon?"

Now that the glass bottle has been brought back, and the apricots have been picked, are we going to start making canned apricots in the afternoon?

Ning Xi thought for a while and said aloud, "In the afternoon, Second Sister-in-law, bring someone to continue picking apricots. If Second Brother, please help build two stoves in the yard, and start making canned apricots tomorrow."

Zhang Ying had no objection to Ning Xi's arrangement, and immediately said, "Go and build a stove over there. There are trees in our yard, so it should be cooler."

"Okay, second sister-in-law, take a look at the aunts who came to help today, and choose three aunts who are more down-to-earth and faster, and ask them to help at home early tomorrow morning. The salary is 10 yuan a month."

After dinner, Zhang Ying took the workers to Xiahe Village to pick apricots. Ning Xi was busy making spicy strips and dried fish in the kitchen. Lu He invited Lu Zhenghua and the others to help build two temporary stoves in the yard. I borrowed the tractor from the village and went to the town to sell two large iron pots.

This afternoon Ning Xi was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground. Lao Zhou came to take away the dried fish and spicy strips, and she was busy teaching the villagers to dry the dried fish, sent the villagers away and started making dinner again.

Today's dishes are bought from Zhouhui.

Wang Xiuqin, Chen Jing, and Zhou Hui were helping in the kitchen. Ning Xi had just put the chicken into the pot to stew, when a voice called "Ning Xi."

He Hua, Ning Erlong's wife is here.

Ning Xi walked out of the kitchen, and reluctantly called out "Second Aunt."

He Hua didn't talk nonsense with Ning Xi and directly explained her intentions, "Tomorrow your sister is getting married, so you should come here early to help."

She almost forgot that tomorrow is the 5th day of May in the lunar calendar when Ning Juan and Chen Haijun get married.

"Okay." Ning Xi could only nod her head in agreement. Everyone in the village knew that she and Ning Dalong's family were having a hard time and even proposed to sever ties, but Ning Erlong's family did not confront her directly. He Hua came here to invite her in person today. In the past to help, if she didn't go, it would be tantamount to offending everyone in the Ning family.

He Hua stood on tiptoe and glanced into the kitchen, "Get me some of your little dried fish, it happens to be a dish tomorrow."

Ning Xi didn't refuse and went back to the main room to pack some spicy strips and dried fish for He Hua.

He Hua strode into the kitchen, and first looked at the various meats that had been cut on the stove, "We're back from Zhou Hui, so I'll tell you what the kitchen is doing that smells so delicious."

As he spoke, he walked to the stove and pulled out the porcelain pot with pork belly, pulled out the big bowl with beef, looked at the fish in the pot that hadn’t been processed in time, and lifted the lid of the pot to look at the chicken in the pot.” Zhou will save face, since Ning Xi got married, as an aunt, I can’t even eat a piece of candy, let alone a piece of meat from her family.”

"As an aunt, I don't have the face to let my nephew and niece spend money." The smile on Zhou Hui's face sank instantly. She didn't know about Ning Xi and the Ning family, but simply felt that He Hua's words were a little too much.

Wang Xiuqin also glanced at He Hua with an unhappy expression, "My sister-in-law bought these."

"I'll just talk about it." After begging for a bad meal, He Hua smiled awkwardly and walked out of the kitchen.

After He Hua left, Zhou Hui frowned and said, "What does this He Hua mean? No one would say anything wrong with my niece in front of her niece's husband's family."

"It's not like you don't know what the Ning family is all about, besides..." Wang Xiuqin told Zhou Hui about Ning Xi and her natal family.

During the period, Ning Xi walked into the kitchen, but Wang Xiuqin didn't stop, she was telling the truth and there was no need to avoid Ning Xi.

After listening, Zhou Hui frowned directly.

Who are these people, how could they treat their own children like this.

Of course, she just thought about this in her heart and didn't say it.

Wang Xiuqin didn't intend to continue discussing the Ning family's affairs, but asked out loud, "Is your second aunt here to ask you to help tomorrow?"

"Well! There are a lot of things at home, and she even came to find something for me to do."

Wang Xiuqin knew that Ning Xi's mother wouldn't teach her anything, so she patiently taught her, "If you don't like it, you have to go. If you do what you should do, you won't be left behind. Arrange your family affairs before you go out tomorrow." , I'm watching over here."

Zhou Hui also smiled and said, "Then I'll stay at home to help, and I'll let Xiaojing come pick me up in the afternoon."

Chen Jing immediately smiled and said, "Then I won't go back either. It's rare to be lazy for two days."

"Thank you aunt, second aunt, and sister-in-law." Ning Xi was not polite to them. The apricots at home had already piled up, and if they were not canned quickly, they would be ruined. "I'll tell you how to make them later."

During the conversation, plates of delicious food were brought to the table, such as hot, red, soft and glutinous braised pork with fragrant pig's trotters, mouth-watering chicken stewed potatoes, sour and spicy hot and sour chicken, and so on. There are fresh and fragrant sauerkraut fish and various stir-fried vegetables.

Under the hazy moonlight, the whole family gathered together happily. The men and elders sat at a table in the main room, while Ning Xi, Chen Jing, and Zhang Ying took a few children to sit at a table in the yard.

As soon as the table was served, Lu Xiaoyu was the first to stare at the red braised pork, "Sister-in-law, what is that?"

"This is braised pork." Ning Xi hurriedly picked up a piece of braised pork for Lu Xiaoyu, "Try it, it's soft and glutinous and delicious."

The 8-year-old girl couldn't wait to pick up the braised pork and stuff it into her mouth.

"Eat slowly, don't burn it." Chen Jing reminded with a smile, and hurriedly used chopsticks to help Lu Xiaoyu pinch the braised pork into small pieces.

Ning Xi's braised pork is so soft that it shatters when you pick it up with chopsticks. Just looking at it is so soft and glutinous that you feel very appetizing.
