After pasting the couplets, Wen Nuan made some food in Lingchu, prepared the meat, cabbage and other ingredients, mixed the noodles, then locked the door and went to Zhao's side.
"I'll cook dumplings for you tonight." She used the warm water she brought to wash grandma's hands and face carefully. "Don't worry about things over there. When the weather gets better during the Chinese New Year, I'll pack up the house and pick you up."
"I secretly heard them say," Ms. Zhao held Nuan Nuan's hand, "I will let you marry Lu Guozhi when he comes back. I have been silent these past few days because I want you to suffer some hardships outside and come back on your own initiative."
Wen Nuan smiled mockingly.
"Girl, you said you have a way to make the lunatic agree," Mrs. Zhao held her hand, "What is the way?"
"You'll know when spring comes next year." Wen Nuan smiled and finished trimming her nails. "Wait for me to bring you delicious food from the cafeteria in the evening. If I come back late, please have some snacks to cushion me."
"I'm fine no matter what, don't worry, just work hard." Ms. Zhao held her hand and said, "Nuan, have you met any good young people these days?"
Wen Nuan was stunned.
"Grandma is blind and can't recognize anyone. You have to be careful about your life-long event, otherwise the madman won't be able to succeed this time, and there will be another time." Ms. Zhao held her hand, "I heard that the base is good and many people will be born.
It’s great, my family is so nice, Nuannuan, I will definitely find a good young man.”
Only then did Nuan Nuan realize that Mrs. Zhao was worried about her marriage.
"Grandma." Wen Nuan blushed, "I have to leave quickly, otherwise I will be late."
"Go ahead," Ms. Zhao smiled and waved her hand.
Marry?
After leaving the village, Nuan Nuan touched his red face.
No, I won't get married.
After experiencing a failed marriage, she no longer had the confidence to start another one.
"Nuan Nuan," Zhu Dongming didn't know when he appeared here, "What's wrong?"
He looked at her for a while and saw that she was stunned.
"Are you worried about the person who came yesterday?" Zhu Dongming asked in a low voice.
Wen Nuan shook his head and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Dongming, where are you going?"
"My mother asked me to get something for my uncle's family," Zhu Dongming whispered, "Are you going to the base?"
"Well, there's a dinner party tonight," Nuan Nuan nodded, "I'll leave first."
"Nuan Nuan," Zhu Dongming called her from behind, "I have something to tell you."
"Brother Dongming," Wen Nuan turned around and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later. I have to leave quickly or I will be late."
After she said these words, she quickly ran forward.
It seemed like he was really in a hurry.
At this moment, a car drove past at a high speed.
For some reason, Wen Nuan always felt like there was a cold look looking at her in the car.
Could it be someone she knows?
But she quickly rejected it.
The only people she knew were the chefs in the cafeteria, and they must all be busy at the moment.
There was also Lu Jinchuan, but he was injured and was lying in the hospital with broken bones and muscles for a hundred days, so he couldn't be someone she knew.
In the car, Lu Jinchuan, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, looked calmly at the girl in the rearview mirror.
Little liar.
Wen. Little liar. But Nuan didn't know that he already had such a title in Lu Jinchuan's heart.
The food prepared in the big cafeteria today was very rich. Wen Nuan had been busy all afternoon, and her neck was very tired. After preparing the food for Lu Jinchuan in the evening, Wen Nuan went home with the food and red envelopes prepared by Master Zhao.
Already.
Originally, Xiao Zhang wanted Nuan Nuan to help deliver meals to the hospital, but as soon as he said this, he was scolded by Master Guo.
"The food was cooked by Wen Nuan. It's not safe for a little girl to go home too late." Master Guo patted his shoulder, "Don't be afraid."
But can he not be afraid?
He didn't even dare to look at Captain Lu.
"Captain Lu is very nice." Wen Nuan said with a smile, "I just don't like to talk very much. Don't be afraid."
If it wasn't too late now, she would have sent it to Lu Jinchuan.
"Say Happy New Year to Captain Lu for me." Wen Nuan smiled and waved to everyone, "Happy New Year everyone, see you next year."
People in the cafeteria were amused by her words, "See you next year."
This is the first year after Nuan Nuan's rebirth, and she attaches great importance to it.
So even though the red paper was expensive, she still gritted her teeth and bought it. When she came back, she cut the window grilles and asked the old scholar in the village to write a couplet to carefully decorate the yard to make it festive.
But when she came back, there were several big footprints on the door, and the couplets on the door had been torn off and thrown aside, and she couldn't even try to glue them back on.
When Nuan Nuan saw the torn couplet, he felt bad.
You don't have to ask to know who did it.
The more Wen Fengqi behaves like this, the more she wants to live a good life to show them.
Not only does she have to make dumplings, she also has to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
I was in a daze when I heard someone knocking on the door in the front yard.
"Why are you here?" Wen Nuan was a little surprised, "This is..."
"I have nothing to give you," Master Guo walked in with a pot on his shoulder, "Master Zhao and I discussed it and this pot is a New Year gift for you."
The eyes become redder when warmed up.
"What's going on?" He walked up to Nuan Nuan, "Why are you still crying?"
"No," she said with red eyes, "I'm making dumplings tonight. Why don't you stay and eat the dumplings?"
"No," Master Guo said, "We have a dinner party tonight, so I'll bring you the pot and leave."
He resisted as soon as he got the pot.
Glancing at the red papers piled on the ground at the door, I knew what they were without asking. Thinking about how she looked just now, I was afraid she might have been wronged again.
Master Guo felt a little angry.
Where can parents be like this? How much hatred must there be for the couplets that the children have worked so hard to buy to be torn apart?
Seeing that she was busy, Master Guo didn't stay long and hurried back to the base.
It was inevitable that I had to express my emotions to Master Zhao again.
Wen Nuan packed the cooked dumplings and put them in the basket, and divided some of the things brought back from the base to give to Hu Xiaoling's family and Zhu Dongming's family respectively.
It was a gift in return for helping her.
In the evening, Mrs. Zhao and I ate dumplings together. The two of them didn't light the oil lamp, but just sat on the kang and talked.
I don’t know when, snowflakes suddenly started to fall in the sky.
But her heart was warm.
It will be 1977 soon, and many things will happen this year, especially the country will resume the college entrance examination.
Thinking of how those people in her previous life disliked her, she would never miss this good opportunity in this life.
After stuffing some firewood into the kang, she wrapped herself in a quilt and fell asleep warmly.
Outside, the snow was falling quietly.
In the dark night, a figure climbed over the backyard wall and slowly approached the person on the kang.
The man who was sleeping soundly on the kang suddenly opened his eyes.
