Chapter 1791 Need for a Family 1

An Ning took a break for a while and then opened her eyes and looked at the decorations in the house again.

She lay on the kang. Generally, the kangs in rural areas in the north are on the south side, with windows on the south side, and the kang is placed under the windowsill, which makes it convenient for you to sit on the kang to do needlework when the weather is bright.

A greasy table was placed directly opposite the north side of the kang along the wall. The table was wiped cleanly, with an enamel plate on it, and an old-style teapot and tea cup were placed on it.

A kettle with the double-happiness character is placed on the floor below the table. A chair is placed on one side of the table and a basin stand on the other side. On the basin stand is an enamel washbasin with red background and white peony flowers.

A two-door wardrobe was placed near the west wall, and a glass mirror was also placed on one of the doors of the wardrobe.

Looking at the kang, there were two red paint cabinets placed near the east wall, and there were needlework on the top of the cabinet.

Apart from these, there is no one around the house.

The whole room was cleaned up very neatly and the floor was cleaned. You could tell at a glance that the person living in this room was a clean person.

An Ning guessed what era it was now. If it was in the 1960s and 1970s, the owner of this house, that is, her original body, should be very favored at home, and the conditions at home should not be bad, but if it was in the 1980s and 1990s, it would be impossible to say.

An Ning was guessing that the door of the house was pushed open from outside. An old lady wearing a gray-black cotton jacket with a slanted collar, a black big-crowned pants and a tied trousers came over with a thick porcelain bowl.

"Baoer, you're awake."

An Ning tugged her lips and smiled.

The old lady sat on the edge of the kang and placed a large thick porcelain bowl next to the peaceful pillow.

An Ning smelled the scent of food.

She turned her head and saw a bowl of noodles filled with fried poached eggs in the thick porcelain bowl.

"Baoer, be hungry, get up and eat something."

An Ning tried hard to hold her up. After she got up, her long hair drooped to her chest smoothly, making her face look smaller. Because she was seriously ill, her face turned pale and looked pitiful.

"I don't know who committed the evil, but I'm not sure who pushed you into the river, and I, Baoer, suffered such a great sin."

Seeing An Ning's pitiful look, the old lady couldn't help but curse.

An Ning lowered her head and picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, then took a bite of the poached egg: "Mom, stop scolding."

She swallowed the poached egg before saying something.

The two sentences the old lady said just now were a dialect from a certain place in the north.

There are many dialects in the north, especially in a certain province. It can be said that there are different customs in ten miles. There are several dialects in a county. If An Ning had not traveled through time for a long time and had more knowledge, and her mental power was strong, she might have failed if she wanted to learn something very quickly.

Now An Ning just heard a few sentences and determined which dialect this was, and also used this dialect to talk to the old lady.

"Mom won't scold you anymore. You should eat quickly. After you finish eating, you should rest. It has fallen into the river for so long in the cold weather. If you don't take good care of it, what if you get sick?"

The old lady sighed in sorrow.

An Ning smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I'll lie down and I'll get better in a few days."

After she said this, she lowered her head and tried hard to eat noodles. A large bowl of noodles was eaten into her stomach. An Ning sweated all over and felt that her body was much lighter.

The old lady took the bowl and got off the kang: "You have a sleep, I'll go feed the chickens."

An Ning nodded and lay down again.

The old lady went out and stood under the eaves and shouted: "Daya, Daya, where have you died? Why don't you come out to cook quickly?"

After shouting several times, an eleven-year-old girl in coarse cloth clothes came back from outside: "My mother, I'm out, I'm going to cook now."

"I always know to run outside. Every girl doesn't know how to work at home. She's crazy and wild all day long, making people gossip."

The old lady muttered and cursed, "Work quickly. Are you the hands? Chicken claws can work better than your hands. If you don't do it quickly, you just want to be beaten, right?"

The little girl brought Chaihe to light the fire and whispered while burning the fire: "My aunt is not as good as me, why don't you talk about her?"

The old lady was so angry that she directly pulled a match and hit the little girl: "Can you compare with your aunt? You shameless..."

An Ning lay on the kang and listened to everyone outside cursing and yelling, her eyes flashed slightly, she covered the quilt and pretended that she didn't hear it, and she soon fell asleep.

When An Ning woke up again, it was already dark.

She opened her eyes and saw a light. When she looked carefully, she saw the old lady sitting cross-legged on the kang. There was a small kang table in front of her. There was a kerosene lamp on the table. She was doing work under the lamp.

"Mom." An Ning sat up and put on a quilt and looked over to see the old lady sewing clothes: "What are you doing?"

The old lady said while sewing, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, I have to make a new dress for my Baoer."

She bit off the thread and looked up and smiled at An Ning: "I asked your father to pull a few feet of cloth for you in the city, and make a jacket for you when I have time."

An Ning took the clothes he made and saw that the materials used to make the clothes were fleece, with no patterns on them, and the color was brick-red. The style of the clothes was the kind of small lapels and four-eyed ones. This style of clothes was very fashionable in the old countryside.

"This material is really good." An Ning smiled and said, touching the material of the clothes.

The old lady was very happy: "That's not the case. I saved up a long time cloth tickets and asked your father to go to the entrance of the shopping mall early to grab this piece of material for you."

An Ning also smiled with a pursed lips and asked after a while: "Where is my dad?"

The old lady took the clothes and continued to make them, while making them, "Your father will not come back in a few days. I will ask someone to send him a message and ask him to bring you some bones when he comes back and make bone soup."

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed: "Your third brother has not sent a message home after leaving, and I don't know if he can adapt in the army. I heard that the training of a recruit is very hard, and your third brother has never suffered any crime at home. Can you hold on?"

An Ning learned a little more information. The family has at least three sons, which means she has at least three older brothers. Her third brother should be not old, and she should be just sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Their troops are not training blindly, they have plans. Besides, my third brother is not much worse than others. If others can hold on, my third brother will definitely be able to hold on."

An Ning comforted the old lady and asked tentatively after a while: "Why, I'll write a letter to my third brother?"

The old lady burst out and laughed: "What are you writing? I don't know where to send it after writing it. We have to wait for your third brother to send it back and see the address before writing to him."

An Ning looked down and looked a little shy, but she knew that the original body was at least literate, but she didn't know how many words she knew.

The old lady sewed the clothes for a while, and finally sewed them. She folded the clothes and put them down: "Baoer, lie down quickly, don't get frozen."

An Ning nodded, but she didn't lie down, but said to the old lady: "Mom, I've been sleeping for a day and can't sleep even if I lay down. Do I have any books or pictorials? I want to see it."

She was thinking about her original body reading, and she said that reading should be reasonable.

The main reason is that An Ning has to figure out what age it is now and the basic situation of this world. Otherwise, she would not dare to say a lot of things and would be careful in everything she did.
