Chapter 265 Angry
After being spanked a few times, Huo Yun finally became obedient, and then he said loudly to Huo Yun: "Dad, I don't want to kiss you anymore."
Seeing this, Huo Yun put him on the bed and put on his socks and shoes. After that, Huo Yun slipped off the bed and shouted at Huo Yun, "I'll kiss you again in the future."
Then he made a face, turned around and ran out of the room on his short legs.
"This brat." Huo cursed.
After Ning Jing ran out with his brother, Huo Yan held Ning Yan's face and kissed him hard on both sides, then said, "Don't let those two brats take advantage of you."
Ning Yan was speechless and said, "That's your son. He's only three years old. Aren't you childish?"
"I don't care, my wife can't let them kiss her in the future." Huo said domineeringly.
Neither can my son.
Ning Yan rolled his eyes and said, "What if we kiss?"
"Then I'll kiss you back." Huo said unconvinced.
Ning Yan was very sure that this man was a childish boy. He didn't want to pay any attention to him and went straight to the kitchen to cook.
When the meal was ready, Duan Zhili and the others were still busy, and people kept coming to the house to buy strawberries.
Ning Yan asked, "Didn't they eat?"
Bai Lifen said, "I asked, they've already done it, and they'll take turns coming back for dinner later."
There are many people buying strawberries, so they have to be picked right away because the weather is hot. If they are picked too early, they will easily wilt and their quality will be greatly reduced.
So Duan Zhili and his friends picked them in the garden under the scorching sun.
But hard work pays off. It doesn’t matter if you’re a little bit enthusiastic. The most important thing is to make money.
Ning Yan said after hearing this: "After dinner, mother will talk to Aunt Zhou and ask them to make some herbal tea."
If I don’t drink some cold tea, I’m afraid I’ll get heatstroke in this high temperature of over 30 degrees.
Everyone in their family uses cooling patches, so they don't feel too hot, but Ning Yan has no plans to tell Duan Zhili and the others for the time being. As for whether to sell this thing to them in the future, he will see how the situation develops.
Bai Lifen responded, "I understand."
On the first day, I sold strawberries until the afternoon, but then I stopped selling because I had to practice martial arts.
Although everyone thinks making money is important, life is more important. Without some physical strength, it will be difficult to survive anywhere. Moreover, now is the time to be guided by a "famous teacher", which is a rare opportunity.
So when Ning Yu said that they would continue practicing martial arts in the afternoon, they didn't say anything, hung a sign at the door saying "Suspended Sales", and went to train together.
After practicing, the few people did not rush back to the room, but came to find Ning Yan and Huo? They made a lot of money today and wanted to divide the bill.
The bills were all recorded by Duan Zhili. Ning Yan took a look and found that he sold almost 500 kilograms today, which means he made more than 500 taels of silver.
After a day of tanning, Zhou Youfeng grinned and said, "There are so many rich people in Xiacang City."
The others nodded in agreement. They bought strawberries in batches of more than ten or twenty pounds, each costing one tael of silver per pound. The money they earned in one day could catch up with what they had earned in their entire lives.
Ning Yan took out his share of the money and said to Zhou Youfeng and the others, "This thing is so profitable, there must be people who are jealous. You should be careful and stay at home for the time being. Sell most of these strawberries first."
In a city as big as the capital, it is impossible for everyone to be rich. Even the rich people want to be richer, so there will definitely be people who will set their sights on the strawberries, so they still have to take precautions in advance.
Old Man Zhou said, "I was thinking of going to buy some food, but now I can't go either."
As a farmer who has been farming for a lifetime, he always feels uneasy if he doesn't have some food. As the saying goes, if you have enough food at home, you won't be worried. Old man Zhou has this kind of mentality.
Ning Yan said, "Don't worry about storing food. If something unexpected happens, we won't be able to take the food with us. The situation is uncertain right now, and we're not sure how long we can stay here, so it's enough to eat."
Zhou Youfeng said, "Dad, I think what Brother Jian said is right. The food we bought last time is enough for us to eat for a while. Let's not buy more for now and wait a few days."
Just like what happened in Nanjiang City last time, who would have thought there would be a sudden cockroach outbreak? Then the entire city fled. If something happened to Xiacang City as well, they wouldn't be able to take away even if they stored more food.
When Old Man Zhou heard his son say the same thing, he gave up the idea of going to buy food. Brother Zheng was right. The situation was uncertain now, so they just had to live well in the present.
Afterwards, Zhou Youfeng pointed to the gift box on the table and said to Ning Yan, "This is a gift from the Yun family. Brother Yan, do you want to open it and take a look?"
Ning Yan opened the box and took a look upon hearing that. It was filled with snacks and candies, of several kinds, all very delicate and beautifully packaged.
Seeing this, Ning Yan directly distributed these to everyone and asked everyone to take them home to eat.
After the discussion and division of the money, everyone went back home.
When Ning Yu and the others went to practice martial arts, Ning Yan and Bai Lifen made a few glasses of iced strawberry drinks. Now that they came back, they were just ready to drink.
Ning Jing drank a glass of strawberry juice, then raised the glass and said, "Dad, I want more."
Ning Yan poured him another cup and said, "Drink one more, then go take a shower and go to bed."
"Okay, Dad." Ning Jing said obediently.
After Ning Yu drank two glasses of strawberry juice in a row, he said to Ning Yan, "Brother, please make more of this strawberry juice in the future. It would be best if we could drink a glass every day.
When they practice martial arts, they don't use cooling patches. It's not good for the body not to sweat every day, so after practicing martial arts, they feel dry mouth and want to drink water.
I drank a glass of ice-cold strawberry juice today, which made me feel refreshed both physically and mentally. It would be best if I could drink a glass of it every day.
Ning Yan nodded and said, "No problem, I'll do it for you when the time comes."
He could make more at one time and put them directly in space. When they came back from martial arts practice, he could just take them out without having to do it again and again.
After drinking, the family went to take a shower and go to bed.
The next morning, the doorbell rang. Someone came to buy strawberries again.
The group had just finished training at this moment. They had posted the sales time outside yesterday, but they didn't expect this person to come on time.
Sun Huzi went to open the door and saw only one person standing outside. He was wearing a dark purple robe with printed patterns. He was thin and not tall, with a slightly long and thin face, narrow eyes, and looked very shrewd.
Sun Huzi asked, "Are you here to buy strawberries?"
Sun Huzi was a tall and strong man, and he spoke in a rough and powerful voice. In addition, he had been practicing martial arts recently, which made him even more fierce. If a little kid saw him like this, they would be scared and run away, not daring to talk to him.
Although the people outside thought the man was a little tall, they were not afraid. Instead, they smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here to buy strawberries."
Sun Huzi asked, "How many pounds do you want?"
Li Weiming, who was standing outside, said, "It's hot, and my wife is feeling a little unwell, so I came here to buy two kilograms. I want to take some home for her to cool down."
Upon hearing this, Sun Huzi looked at the man with a different eye. It was rare for someone to care so much about his wife and come to buy strawberries in person.
So he led the people to the yard and said kindly: "Put these strawberries in the well to cool down, it will be more effective in cooling down the summer heat."
"Yes, yes, I will do it when I get back." Li Weiming said quickly.
As he said that, he followed Sun Huzi into the yard and looked around.
Sun Huzi took him to the empty living room and said to him, "Wait here for a moment. I'll pick some strawberries for you."
Li Weiming saw this and quickly said, "I wonder if I could go over and take a look at what the strawberries look like so I can describe them to my wife when I get back. She's very curious about this."
Upon hearing this, Sun Huzi directly refused and said, "No."
Then he added a harsh remark: "As long as you have eggs to eat, why bother about the hen that laid them?"
They deliberately separated the yard at home from the strawberry fields to prevent others from stealing when no one was paying attention.
Although they can prevent it for a while but not forever, they can prevent it for a while. At least they have to make money during this period of time, so he can't take others to visit the garden.
Besides, there is corn in the field. It is a rare crop and will be mature in a few days. It is not convenient to let people know in advance.
Li Weiming was choked by Sun Huzi's words, and then he had nothing to refute. He could only sit down obediently and wait for Sun Huzi to pick strawberries for him.
After Sun Huzi left, he walked out of the living room and prepared to take a walk around. However, after he went out, he saw a woman washing clothes not far away, so he sat back on the chair in the house.
Zhou was washing clothes not far away. Whenever someone came, the family would find some work to do here. The main purpose was to keep an eye on these people and prevent them from wandering around the villa. It would be bad if something was stolen.
The strawberries they grow are relatively large, with only about 20 strawberries per pound, and about 40 strawberries per 2 pounds. The strawberry seeds provided by Ning Gan are of excellent quality, without any pests, and the strawberries that grow are of uniform size, so they pick them with their eyes closed, and therefore pick them very quickly.
After a while, Sun Huzi brought the strawberries back. Li Weiming paid for them and left with the strawberries.
It is still busy today. In addition to the maids and servants of the wealthy families, some families with a little wealth will also come to buy a kilogram or two to take home to try.
Ning Yan woke up early today, waking up after half an hour. After waking up, he checked the weather on the map as usual. The next four days will still be sunny, with a maximum temperature of 38 degrees and a minimum temperature of 30 degrees.
But the temperature dropped sharply on the fifth day, with the lowest temperature dropping below 10 degrees Celsius, and there were signs of snow and hail.
The map only shows the weather for the next five days, and the weather after that can only be seen tomorrow.
Seeing this, Ning Jian nudged Huo Yu, who was lying beside him, and called out, "Brother Yu."
Huo Yan was already awake at this moment, resting his eyes. When he heard Ning Yan calling him, he opened his eyes and asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
"Things are going to change." Ning Yan said.
Huo? was confused after hearing this. What had happened?
Although he didn't understand what Ning Jian said, he still hugged Ning Jian's waist and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, wife. Even if the sky falls, I, your husband, can hold it up for you."
Ning Jian slapped him on the arm and glared at him, "You're taking advantage of me again."
"Will you give it to me or not?" Huo Yu rubbed Ning Yan's neck and stole a kiss.
Ning Yan's neck felt itchy from being rubbed by him, and he couldn't help laughing. He dodged and said, "Stop messing around. I'm telling you something serious."
Huo? said as he moved, "Go ahead, I won't delay you."
Yesterday, he held back because he thought that doing it too frequently would be bad for his wife's health. Today, he thought about it again.
Ning Yan couldn't beat him, so he could only let him do what he wanted.
While enduring Huo Xi's kiss, he whispered, "I'm talking about the weather changing. The temperature will drop in four days, and there will be hail later."
Huo Li raised his head from Ning Jian's neck and asked in surprise, "Is the temperature going to drop so soon?"
The weather now doesn't look like it's going to get colder in a few days.
Ning Yan nodded and said, "Yes, we must prepare in advance."
Hearing this, Huo looked at the tent below him and said pitifully, "Wife, what should I do now?"
Ning Yan smiled wickedly and stretched out his hand. A piece of ice appeared on his palm. Then he said to Huo Xi, "Brother Xi, why don't you cool down yourself?"
Huo An threw the ice cube to the floor in anger, then grabbed Ning Yan's hand and said, "Wife, help me."
Ning Yan said calmly, "We still have a lot to do. If we don't start soon, it might be too late."
First, we need to build a kang at home to keep out the cold, and then we need to chop firewood. We don’t know how cold the weather will get, so we need to store more firewood.
Then they would go to the city to buy supplies. Their family didn't have to worry about it, but Zhou Youfeng and his family would have to store more.
Ning Yan smiled and stood up after he finished speaking. He didn't intend to bother Huo Yu and let him solve it himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat up, Huo pushed him down on the bed and started taking action without any explanation.
When he got up again, an incense stick of time had passed. Ning Jian rubbed his aching wrist and stared at Huo Yu.
Huo Jian took Ning Jian's coat with great zeal and said to him with a flattering smile, "Wife, let me help you put on your clothes."
Ning Jian grabbed the clothes, put them on himself, and prepared to go out.
Seeing this, Huo Yan, who was sitting beside the bed, put his arm around Ning Yan's waist and let him sit on his lap. He kissed Ning Yan's earlobe and coaxed her softly, "Wife, don't be angry."
Ning Yan felt a little itchy when he kissed her, and couldn't help but dodge away and didn't answer him.
Seeing Ning Jian remained silent, Huo continued shamelessly, "Wife, we are already an old couple, why are you still so shy?"
"Who's shy?" Ning Yan asked angrily.
Huo Hearing this, he said with a smile, "Don't be shy. Why are you ignoring me? Why are you angry with me?"
Ning Qian thought to himself: Don’t you see what good things you have done?
Huo Yu nuzzled Ning Yan's neck, kissed him, and said, "Wife, don't be angry. I'm very happy to see you angry."
Ning Yan said angrily: "I'm angry, and you're still happy?"
"The main thing is that my wife looks good even when she's angry," Huo said calmly, "but she looks different than when she's not angry."
After hearing this, Ning Yan didn't know whether he should be angry or not.
