Chapter 22
This matter passed peacefully, and what made Ningning happiest was Su Fei’s heart towards her. Indeed, she noticed that the relationship between the two of them became even closer, and they were discussing when to get married, when to hold the wedding ceremony, whom to invite, and all the other details countless times in their fantasies.
It feels like every young couple in love will promise each other what will happen after they get married. How they will live, the ups and downs of life, which they haven’t felt yet; the only thing they feel now is the sweetness of life.
Soon it was the most important festival, the New Year, which was also the most important festival, the Spring Festival. Basically, every household treats the Spring Festival as a major event of the year.
Not only adults look forward to the New Year, but children also look forward to it very much. Because during the New Year, they have endless snacks to eat, new clothes to wear, firecrackers to set off, and various fun games to play. These children are freezing outside with runny noses, but they refuse to go home and continue playing outside.
During the New Year, for this month, parents won’t punish naughty children because if they punish them at the end of the year, maybe the children will misbehave next year, and they’ll have to punish them all year. So these children are basically unrestrained during this time.
And the adults, after a year of hard work, can now relax the most. There’s no work in the fields, all families are hibernating, and with abundant food, everyone can have a good meal.
So the women in the village, because they don’t have to work in the kitchen, can’t sleep all day either. So basically, they gather to play mahjong and card games to entertain themselves, as there are no other forms of entertainment in the village besides these activities, and they can’t set off firecrackers with the children.
But Su Fei is different. Basically, since becoming a teacher, she hasn’t come out to play with money. Originally, Su Fei’s friends thought Su Fei was pretending to be decent for a few days just to fool Ningning, so they didn’t dare to disturb her. But they didn’t expect Su Fei to pretend for so long, it’s been over half a year and she still hasn’t come out to play.
As Su Fei got back on track, many families used her as an example to criticize their friends. They told them to learn from Su Fei, although she wasn’t a good student before, she’s now a different person! She has a stable job, a monthly salary, and she’s obedient, she’s also good to her parents, she’s simply the perfect woman.
These friends didn’t really believe that Su Fei could really change for the better, they thought it was because Ningning was too strict with her that Su Fei couldn’t come out. How come there’s someone else trying to steal her away now? They decided to visit Su Fei’s house to see what she was up to.
Ning Yi and Ning Er are basically the leaders of the slackers, besides being lazy, they’re also picky eaters. After sneaking a can of Su Fei’s food, they satisfied their cravings.
But when they came back, Ningning warned them not to bother Su Fei anymore, she and Su Fei had nothing to do with each other. He warned them, “You know Ningning’s methods, the two of you together aren’t enough for him to handle alone, so if you don’t want to die, stop bothering Su Fei.”
Ning Xiangxiang looked at his two sisters’ indifferent looks and didn’t care about them anymore, anyway, they was the one who caused their own trouble, and no one could help them.
Ning Daxiong’s family is the poorest family in the village because there’s not a single person in the family who can do any work.
It’s basically difficult for them to have a meal, but despite being so poor, the women in the family still don’t work, and everything depends on Ning Xiangxiang and his father.
Fortunately, Ning Xiangxiang is pretty, so young women from the village often come to help him with the work, which prevents them from starving to death.
Ning Yi and Ning Er ignored Ningning’s warning and fooled around. But the taste of the canned food they ate lingers in their minds and mouths.
“Let’s go! Let’s find Su Fei and have some fun. Let’s go to her house for a meal, we’re all good sisters.” Ning Yi and Ning Er agreed, and they didn’t dare to go alone, after all, Ningning had beaten them up many times since they were kids.
They could also gather some young women from the village and some of their former friends.
And these friends, when they heard they were going to find Su Fei, also wanted to pull Su Fei back into their circle. “Let’s go, let’s see what Su Fei is doing at home?”
“Yeah, let’s just have a meal at her house and let Ningning entertain us properly. I heard Su Fei’s friends in Beijing sent her a lot of good stuff.” Ning Yi and Ning Er said mysteriously.
Several people formed a group and went to Ningning’s house. Before they entered the door, they shouted loudly, “Is Su Fei at home? We came to wish you an early New Year. It’s been a long time since we had fun together, sister!”
Ningning came out of the kitchen and saw these people were up to no good. Then he glanced at Ning Yi and Ning Er, who were acting suspiciously, and knew they had come on purpose. “Su Fei is reading in the room. Perfect, I want to bring her a cup of hot water. Let’s go together.”
These people all knew Ningning’s nickname, “Troublemaker”, and were afraid of him. Both boys and girls, he beat them all. After seeing him, they became very quiet, and then they followed Ningning to the second bedroom, now Su Fei’s dedicated study room.
Ningning went in directly, saw Su Fei sitting at the table reading seriously, holding a pen in her hand, and drawing. He liked her more and more as he looked at her.
The people behind saw that Su Fei was indeed reading, writing, and drawing at home, and they found it incredible.
“No need to bring hot water. Take care of yourself and don’t go out too much, it’s cold outside.” Su Fei was delighted to see Ningning coming over, no one had treated her so well before.
“You guys go ahead and chat, I’ll go cook for you. Let’s have lunch here today.” Ningning now trusts Su Fei completely, and he thinks that on New Year’s Day, she should give face to these women, so he has to give them face. “Be careful with your eyes when writing, don’t overdo it.”
“Okay, got it.” Su Fei smiled at Ningning and saw her out, then looked at this group of uninvited guests with a frown and said, “What are you doing here?”
“You don’t have to pretend like this! Aren’t you tired?” These people whispered, and Ning Yi and Ning Er incited them from behind.
“I’m not pretending, I’ve completely turned over a new leaf. Don’t involve Ning Ning in anything from now on. I plan to spend my future with him.” Su Fei looked at this group of people and said seriously.
These people didn’t expect this result, what should they do? It seems like they used to offend Ningning frequently.
