Chapter 289： start a new family

"Finally, we meet you in real life. Xiao Lu always praises you in front of us." Lin Fang came out from the counter. "What a cute little guy. I don't know how to live. Can you give me a hug?"

“Don’t accept life.” Ning Xi said with a smile, took the initiative to pick up Jin’er and handed it to Lin Fang.

Lin Fang also likes children. She would praise and tease Jinbao all the time.

Ning Xi walked into the small shop and walked around inside. The small shop was quite large and had all kinds of daily necessities, snacks, and condiments.

Just as Lu Nan said, Lin Fang is a diligent woman who keeps the small shop clean and all the goods are neatly listed on the counter.

When Ning Xi came out, Lu Nan smiled and asked, "How are you, wife?"

“It feels like something is missing.”

Lu Nan scratched his head in confusion, "I've got all the goods I should buy, what else am I missing?"

“Ningmeizi brand spicy strips and dried fish.”

As soon as Ning Xi finished speaking, Lin Fang immediately said, "Brother and sister, I have also tasted the spicy strips and dried fish you made. They taste really good. I even mentioned it to Xiao Lu and asked him to carry some back when he goes back. We sell it in our store, but he always brings some over, but it’s a pity that all of it goes into everyone’s stomach for free.”

Ning Xi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about selling spicy strips and dried fish in the store."

Lin Fang immediately asked, "What's going on? Do you want to open a food factory here?"

“The food factory cannot be opened due to time constraints, so we will open a workshop.”

Ning Xi had to study, take care of a baby, and open a medical clinic. She didn't go in to open a workshop. It was Xu Ailing who proposed that she want to open a workshop in the imperial capital.

Her parents can help her take care of the children when she arrives in the Imperial Capital. She is also free at home and wants to open a workshop here to expand the market in the Imperial Capital.

Ning Xi naturally supports Xu Ailing's idea, and it just so happens that they can get an extra income.

Lin Fang immediately asked, "When will it open?"

"I don't know yet. I have to wait for one of my helpers to come over before I can open it. Sister-in-law, I heard from Brother Nan that you and Captain Liu are both locals. You should be familiar with this place!"

“It’s okay, what’s the matter?”

“Sister-in-law, do you know the fisherman? I want to catch some fish.”

"My father-in-law is fishing. Xiao Ning, if you want to eat fish, I will bring you some when I go back another day."

Ning Xi waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, I want to catch some small fish, the kind I use to make dried fish."

"I see that my father-in-law only catches big fish. I don't know if he can catch the small fish. Xiao Ning, how many do you want? Are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, I will call and ask. If you are not in a hurry, What if I ask when I go back another day?”

“I want about 30,000 kilograms!”

“How much?” Lin Fang stood up with a groan. She must have heard wrongly. Thirty thousand catties. How could it be thirty thousand catties?

“Thirty thousand catties.” Ning Xiyou repeated.

Lin Fang took a while to digest what she heard. She swallowed her saliva and pursed her lips. "Really that many?"

“Yeah!” Ning Xi nodded. If he wanted to open a workshop, he had to prepare dried fish now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make spicy dried fish after the season.

“I’ll go back and talk to my father-in-law tonight.” What a joke, that’s 30,000 kilograms. Even if you haven’t beaten it before, you still have to find a way to beat it.

“Okay, if you can fight, tell Brother Nan and ask him to go over and talk to uncle.” Ning Xi smiled and nodded. Lu Nan knew about coming over to open a workshop, and had already told them that Captain Liu's father was a fisherman. When the time came, they could ask Captain Liu's father to help with fishing. It would be easier to do things with acquaintances, who would be more trustworthy, and at the same time, I can sell Captain Liu a favor.

In the afternoon, after Lu Nan got off work, the couple left the army with their children and went to the military compound where Mr. Su was.

The guards here are strict. Even though it was not the first time for Lu Nan to come here, he was still required to fill in his visitor information and only let in with Mr. Su's consent.

In the yard, Mr. Su and Mr. Liu were sitting under a tree playing chess. Su Weiguo was accompanying them. When he saw the two entering the house, Su Weiguo stood up and walked over to take the stroller and push it towards Mr. Su.

"Ouch! My little great-grandson is here. Come on, let me hold it for my great-grandfather." Mr. Su quickly picked up the little guy from the stroller and kissed his little face.

“Little great-grandson, come and hold me, great-grandfather.” Mr. Liu put down the chess piece and immediately picked up the other little guy and gave the little guy a smack on his face.

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that her mother accepted Old Liu's arrangement and took over the identity of Old Liu's niece, officially changing her name to Liu He.

Understanding the relationship, Ning Xi also said hello, "Grandpa, grandpa."

Lu Nan also said hello, "Grandpa, grandpa."

"Be good, Xi'er, come to grandpa." Mr. Liu waved to Ning Xi, waited for Ning Xi to walk over, handed the little guy in his arms to Su Weiguo, took out four red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Ning Xi, "You And Xiaonan’s, and our little great-grandson’s.”

“Thank you, grandpa.” Ning Xi took the red envelope and handed it to Lu Nan.

Liu Laochui glared at Ning Xi with his beard, "Are you stupid? You gave the red envelope to that kid before it was even warm."

Ning Xi explained in a low voice, "Grandpa, I am in charge of the accounts of our family. The clothes I wore today do not have pockets, so I gave the money to Brother Nan for temporary safekeeping."

Mr. Liu patted Ning Xi's head with a smile, "That's more or less. Xiaonan is a grown man and he doesn't need much money in the army all year round. You are right to manage the accounts, but you still have to give him pocket money. He is also a man after all. The battalion commander also has some social activities in the army, and usually has to smoke some cigarettes, refuel the car, etc. "

“I know.” Ning Xi agreed and chatted with the two old men for a while, then got up and went into the house, intending to go to the kitchen to help cook.

In the kitchen, Liu He and Mrs. Su, whose names have been changed, are cooking.

As soon as Ning Xi walked to the kitchen door, Mrs. Su shouted to drive people out, "Girl, what are you doing in the kitchen? Go, go, stay outside, your mother and I are enough here."

“Grandma, let me help you.”

Mrs. Su waved her hand, "No, there aren't many dishes, so I don't need your help."

"Xi'er, please go out! The kitchen is not big to begin with, and it will be too crowded if you come in again." Liu He also said with a smile.

By chance, Su Weiguo called Ning Xi, so Ning Xi had to leave the kitchen.

Su Weiguo and Lu Nan had already sat down in the living room. Su Weiguo waved to Ning Xi, "Come here."

“Well!” Ning Xi walked over and sat down next to Su Weiguo.

“I’ve already asked someone to take care of Yu Feifei’s affairs, and she can leave tomorrow.”

“Yes!” Ning Xi nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.

"Baby, don't be angry over someone who doesn't matter, and don't get angry with Xiao Nan because of this matter. After what happened to Yu Feifei, I believe everyone in the team knows that Xiao Nan is my son-in-law. Those people will not dare to deal with her again in the future. Xiaonan has any thoughts."

Su Weiguo raised his hand and rubbed Ning Xi's head, then changed the subject with a smile, "Xi'er, give me your household registration book tomorrow, and I'll go and apply for a new household registration for you. Your mother gave you the name Ning Xi, which means there is a connection between the two minds. In addition, your mother lost her last name for me, so I want you to keep this name and change it to Su Ningxi. Do you think so?"
