Chapter 14 Little Brother

When An Guoming looked at An Ning, her mouth and cheeks were all black, and there were even several burnt black and crisp sparrow hairs stuck on her eyes. She looked at him innocently.

An Ning's teeth had already bitten half of the sparrow. An Guoming shouted, making her blink. She took out the sparrow in her mouth and asked, "Mao'er... can't you eat it?"

"It's cooked, crunchy, and kind of delicious."

An Guoming's nose suddenly felt a little sore. The younger sister used to be slow and unable to speak. They were both lively and active boys and had almost never played with her.

They caught sparrows, and most of them were cooked and eaten outside before returning home. My little sister has never eaten them.

"Little sister, my second brother will catch it for you from now on. You can catch as much as you want." After saying this, An Guoming reached out to take the sparrow in An Ning's hand.

Huh? I didn't bring it over.

An Guoming tried a little harder, but still didn't take it. When he raised his head, he looked at An Ning's slightly angry eyes.

An Ning understood what An Guoming said: I'll give you the next one, but I'll take this one first.

How can that be done? This is simply snatching meat from her mouth.

An Guoming really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He first put down the hand holding the sparrow. According to his strength, there was a high probability that he would not be able to take it.

"Little sister, I don't want it, I'll teach you how to eat it."

An Ning asked with doubtful eyes: "Really?"

"real."

An Ning looked at An Guoming who did not look like he was faking it. He loosened his hand holding the sparrow in slow motion, but never took his eyes off the sparrow.

"Look, rub off the burnt sparrow feathers on the outside. This is the meat inside, and this is the breast meat. It's the most delicious."

An Guoming handed the torn sparrow meat to An Ning, who pinched it with two fingers and put it into his mouth.

An Guoming, who had been paying attention to An Ning, swore that he saw the brilliant stars in An Ning's eyes, and his little sister was so happy.

He can let the eldest brother and the younger brother watch more sparrows and so on. As for himself, forget it. He can't always bump into the trees.

An Ning ate up a small sparrow quickly and just had a taste of it. However, after eating one, she was not greedy no matter how much she liked it. The other belonged to her second brother and she didn't even look at it.

"Give."

An Ning immediately shook his head and said, "No, one per person, it's fair."

"Second brother doesn't like this. There's too little meat. It would be delicious to go up the mountain and make a whole pheasant someday."

Pheasant? Of course An Ning didn't know it, so she asked again to confirm. An Guoming still didn't want to eat it, so she took it over, followed what An Guoming taught her just now, and finished one by herself.

As soon as the two brothers and sisters finished eating, the elder sister-in-law came into the room, looked at their dark mouths and said, "Go and wash up quickly, it's time to eat."

"I know, sister-in-law."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

The two of them got up and went to wash their hands in the yard outside. As soon as the water was poured out but before they were washed, they saw a clay figure walking in the door.

"The third child?"

An Guoping, who just came in through the gate, squinted his eyes and called out "Second Brother". After calling, he lowered his head and hurriedly went in.

An Guoming immediately sensed something was wrong and blocked An Guoping's way.

"Raise your head, let me take a look."

An Guoping was unwilling, but he was afraid of his second brother, so he slowly raised his head.

An Ning on the side was also paying attention. She saw injuries on An Guoping's face, and it looked like he had been beaten.

"Who hit me?"

An Ning asked calmly, and stepped next to An Guoping, a little angry. In her understanding, everyone in the An family was protected by her.

What's more, the first day she arrived, everyone fought together.

"Is it the Chen family?"

After An Guoming asked, An Guoping nodded and shook his head and said, "It's Chen Mingyang, Miao Daniu, Miao Erniu and the others."

An Ning on the side did not know these people, but the surnames Miao and Chen must be related to Miao Xiaohua and Chen Mingliang, which means they are related to herself.

"Where are they? I'll go with you and call them back."

An Guoping quickly stopped him and said: "Sister, we are good guys and don't suffer the consequences right now. There are several of us here, and you have little arms and legs."

"Don't worry, little sister. They won't go to school tomorrow and Sunday. They will definitely go up the mountain. We'll tell you then." An Guoming said with a plan in his eyes: "No one can escape."

An Guoping nodded wildly at the side.

"That's right, listen to the second brother. Dad said that the second brother's brain is not good for learning, but he has a lot of ideas."

What is a full stomach? Shouldn't it be the large intestine or small intestine? An Ning doesn't understand, but she understands one thing, that is, she will beat her again tomorrow.

"Call me then."

After An Ning finished speaking, she went to wash her face and hands and prepare to eat.

An Guoping asked in confusion: "Why did you ask me to go?"

He didn't know that An Ning had suddenly become the most powerful person in the family.

An Guoming patted him on the shoulder and said, "You will know later."

An Guoping was confused, but he didn't hesitate. He washed his hands, changed clothes, and ate first.

When everyone in the An family sat down, An Sancheng asked about An Guoping's injury. After learning that An Guoming was in charge, he stopped asking.

Lin Cuihua got up and boiled an egg, then rolled it for Xiao San'er to reduce swelling.

For dinner, I had corn tortillas, with a crispy bottom and soft, glutinous and sweet dough. An Ning fell in love with it again.

In the two days since she came, she has tasted several kinds of food, and each one is novel and interesting to her.

"Don't just eat pancakes, vermicelli is delicious."

Lin Cuihua gave An Ning a piece of vermicelli with chopsticks. An Ning picked it up with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Tender and smooth, each vermicelli was filled with soup, locking in the taste of cabbage. An Ning felt that all the taste buds on her tongue had been opened.

So delicious!

A bite of pancake, a bite of vermicelli from time to time, some stewed soft cabbage, and soft glutinous potatoes. After the meal, I feel peaceful and satisfied, and my mental strength is lazily and contentedly stretched out.

After dinner, while the sister-in-law was clearing away the dishes, Lin Cuihua rarely had any free time, so she planned to go to the big willow tree at the end of the village to have a chat.

An Sancheng didn't like to go out and chat, so he took his eldest brother to weave baskets at home, while his younger brother An Guoping took a book, found a place by himself, and started reading.

For a time, there were only two idlers left, An Ning and An Guoming.

An Guoming simply called to An Ning and said, "Little sister, shall we go to the literacy class?"

"good."

An Ning followed An Guoming out of the yard and walked towards the warehouse where the tools were returned. The literacy class was right next to it.

It had just rained and the road was a bit muddy. The first thing the two of them did when they arrived at the literacy class was to find a small wooden stick and scrape the mud under their shoes.

"Lao Er Lao Er, here it is!"

A man similar to An Guoming called him over.

"Second brother, go ahead. I can do it myself."

An Ning sat down on a long bench, with her back straight and her hands on her legs, looking particularly good.

An Guoming felt that nothing happened and they were all in the same yard, so he went over to find his friends.

The summer literacy class is held in the courtyard. There are several long benches with a simple blackboard in front of them for the educated youth in the village to teach.

"Hello, is there anyone sitting here?"
