Chapter 111 Sun Hongxin Arrives
After they rested for a while and had some snacks, Ruan Ruan began to pave the road. He started from the edge of the ground in the yard, leaving a small gap in the middle for drainage. Then he paved a path about 50 centimeters wide.
"Oh, you're starting to lay the food out now!" Teacher Shen brought half a basket of vegetables to Ruan Ruan.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"Aunt, please come in and sit down." Ruan Ruan stood up and prepared to go into the house to pour water for Teacher Shen.
"Ruan Ruan, stop working. I'm just bringing you some dishes. I won't sit down. I have to go back and make those dishes into dried vegetables so that we will have something to eat in the winter." Teacher Shen said as he walked under the eaves, took a dustpan, poured the vegetables in the backpack into the dustpan, and then prepared to go out.
"Thank you, aunt. I'll accept the vegetables this time. You don't have to send me any next time. You see, we have planted vegetables in the front and back yards. Haocheng also planted some seedlings. They have grown up and will be ready to eat in two days." Ruan Ruan watched as Teacher Shen sent her a little bit of each vegetable. She would be able to eat them for a while. It happened that the vegetables in her own garden would soon be ready to eat, so she wouldn't have to buy vegetables anymore.
"Okay, you can just grow them yourself. This way, it's convenient to eat vegetables. If you need more, just go pick them yourself. Vegetables grow fast during this period. If you don't pick them, they will get old. Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."
"Okay, aunt, go back slowly," after sending Teacher Shen out, Ruan Ruan turned around and prepared to go inside. She looked at Gu Jingming who was still working, then she remembered.
"By the way, aunt, Xiao Ming can eat at my house tonight before going back." Ruan Ruan said to Teacher Shen who had not walked far yet, and then went into the yard.
"Sister, I'll finish helping you here in a while. Let's go back and eat. Don't eat at your house." Although Gu Jingming is young, he knows that every family is not rich now. It's not a festival, so he can't eat at other people's houses. Teacher Shen and others have taught him that.
"Why go back? Just eat at home. Look, your aunt has brought all your food here." She didn't understand what Gu Jingming said. She didn't expect that the little kid was so sensible. So she used her chin to signal him to look at the dishes that Teacher Shen brought. The meaning was already very clear.
"That's great. After dinner, let's go with your brother-in-law to pick up some more pebbles and pave a road in the middle so that it will be convenient to go out on rainy days."
"Okay." After hearing his sister's words, Gu Jingming knew that he had to eat today's meal whether he wanted to or not. The digestion after the meal had been arranged. How could he not eat?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ruan Ruan got up to cook, leaving Gu Jingming alone to continue paving the road.
Ruan Ruan took out a wild rabbit and the spare ribs that Huo Haocheng had asked the logistics department to buy. She stewed the spare ribs with the radishes that Teacher Shen had sent, and braised the wild rabbit and potatoes. She also fried an egg, cucumber and other vegetables. This should be enough for three people.
However, what Ruan Ruan did not expect was that after get off work, Huo Haocheng was not the only one who came back with him. There was also Gu Jinghe and a young man she had never seen before, who looked about the same age as them.
"Ruan Ruan, this is Sun Hongxin, he just came back from a mission," Huo Haocheng introduced to her as he entered the room.
Ruan Ruan looked at the man in front of her carefully. He looked gentle and about the same height as Gu Jinghe, a little over 1.8 meters tall. However, his skin was dark, probably from being tanned during missions. He looked very similar to Grandpa Sun.
"Hello, sister-in-law. You've been here for so long, and I shouldn't have come just now." Sun Hongxin glanced at Ruan Ruan when he entered the door, and then followed Huo Haocheng without looking at her. This action also added a lot of points to his impression.
He should have come to thank Huo Haocheng when he brought Ruan Ruan to the family compound, but he was busy with his mission. After finishing his work today, he went to find Huo Haocheng as soon as possible. He wanted to express his gratitude to Ruan Ruan and thank them for taking care of the Sun family.
"You are busy, and I didn't help much. Grandpa, Dad and second uncle arranged everything. Don't take it too seriously. Take care of yourself, and they will feel more at ease." Ruan Ruan really felt that she had helped the Sun family settle down in the Red Flag Brigade. She didn't do much herself. It was Grandpa and Dad who did the hard work. Moreover, Grandpa Sun and the others helped teach the boys to read when they were free in the brigade. She thought this was great.
"Sister-in-law is right. I can't repay Grandpa Huo and the others for their help now. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay them. I will also take good care of myself."
During this period, Sun Hongxin also talked to his family on the phone. He heard from his grandfather about the help the Huo family and the Gu family had given to his family. Ruan Ruan helped a lot in enabling his younger brothers and sisters to integrate into the team in a short period of time. Since she said so, he should just keep this kindness in his heart.
"Okay, okay, we are all comrades, why are you saying so much, little brother, what are you doing?" Gu Jinghe came here today just to keep people company. The main reason was that Huo Haocheng felt that he and Sun Hongxin were not very familiar with each other, and he was not very good at talking. He was afraid that people would think they were not treating him well, so he pulled him over as well. But he didn't expect that Gu Jingming was there too.
"I'm paving the road, can't you see it?" Gu Jingming laid the last stone, stood up and said to him.
"My brother is right. We are all family. Let's not talk about this. Xiao Ming, wash your hands and get ready to eat." Ruan Ruan turned and walked into the kitchen. Fortunately, Gu Jingming helped her with the work today. She wanted to reward him well, so she cooked a little more. However, this amount of food was enough for three people. If there were two more people, it would not be enough for two people of such age. She immediately started to cook two more dishes.
Huo Haocheng followed her into the kitchen, looked at the dishes that had been prepared, and the dishes that Ruan Ruan was preparing, and said, "No need to prepare more, these are enough. Because Sun Hongxin came suddenly today, I was unable to inform you in advance, and I thought that you might not be prepared enough, so I went to the cafeteria in advance to get some food back."
Huo Haocheng poured all the dishes he brought back from the cafeteria into the bowls at home. Ruan Ruan saw that he only ordered meat dishes and bought a few big steamed buns. Together with the dishes he made himself, it was enough, so she put down the dishes in her hand and started to put the dishes on the table.
"It seems that I have taken medicine today. Come and sit down. My sister cooked this dish. I'm telling you. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you've eaten it." Seeing the braised rabbit brought out by Ruan Ruan, Gu Jinghe pulled Sun Hongxin to sit down. In fact, he also wanted to help, but he saw that Sun Hongxin was reserved, so he just pulled him to sit down and talk to him.
Afterwards, Huo Haocheng and Gu Jingming also helped serve the dishes and set the table.
"Try it and see if my cooking skills have returned to normal." After the dishes were served, Ruan Ruan invited them to eat. Mainly because she didn't want Sun Hongxin to be restrained and was afraid that he would feel embarrassed to eat more.
