Fu Canglan and Gu Yuan walked into the courtyard, and the woman stopped what she was busy doing and chatted with them, fearing that she would neglect the guests.
Gu Yuan looked around and found that Ning Buxiu's yard was actually very small. There was a main house, and then three small bungalows at the back. One of the three small bungalows was the kitchen, and the other one looked through the window. It was a bedroom, with posters of Fantasy on the wall. The third room was the smallest, and it was easy to tell from the solar panel mounted on it that it was the bathroom.
Through conversation, Gu Yuan discovered that Mrs. Ning did have a scent of books. According to her introduction, her father was once a calligrapher, and her mother was a well-known musician in the last century.
And she herself is now also a university professor at a university in Jiaocheng.
When the other party learned Fu Canglan's age, he seemed a little surprised, and then praised Fu Canglan for being young. This is also true.
"Mrs. Ning is so polite. Speaking of which, you are much more elegant than me." Fu Canglan said with a smile.
She is not a person who is good at saying compliments, and with Fu Canglan's character, it is difficult for her to compliment others. Every word she speaks now comes from the heart. A simple conversation can make her admire Mrs. Ning. Full of admiration and goodwill.
At this moment, a voice humming a tune came from outside the door. Ning Buxiu opened the door and walked in. Gu Yuan and Fu Canglan both stood up.
The swordsman from Jiaocheng was carrying a few plastic bags in one hand, which were filled with dishes to be cooked later, and a bird cage in the other hand. In the cage was a full-fledged starling. .
"Yo! It's here!" When he saw Gu Yuan and Fu Canglan, Ning Buxiu laughed and said, "It's a coincidence that you are here today. Someone just gave me a good package yesterday. Tea, if this had come a day earlier, I don’t know what I would have prepared for you!”
Mrs. Ning walked over with a smile and took the dish from Ning Buqiu's hand: "You chat with the guests first, I'll go cook."
"Well, I won't help you today."
"It should be."
When Ning Buxiu looked at his wife, his eyes were full of warmth. If it weren't for the guests coming to the house, he would have to help when cooking. Ning Buxiu has never thought that cooking is what a woman should do. It is only reasonable that everyone should make the contribution they can to their own family.
"Master Ning..." As soon as Gu Yuan spoke, Ning Buxiu waved his hand.
"It sounds really awkward. Just call me Lao Ning. If you feel you can't do it, just call me Uncle Ning."
"Yes, Uncle Ning." Gu Yuan could only nod.
Fu Canglan said from the side: "Old Ning, after dinner, can you arrange for someone to take me to Northern Xinjiang?"
"Okay, it's a trivial matter!" Ning Buxiu was not surprised when he heard Fu Canglan's request. He had already received the news before, otherwise why would he go shopping?
Ning Buxiu washed his hands and started making tea. There was a coal stove in the corner of the yard, which was heating hot water.
While pouring the tea, Ning Buxiu said, "Don't be surprised. After much thought, I think it would be more sincere to invite you to my home for dinner."
"No." Gu Yuan quickly shook his head, "That's good."
In the early years, in order to show respect for guests, people would always go to restaurants if they could. After all, going to restaurants was expensive at that time. But now, going to restaurants to have a meal is so normal even for ordinary families. Nothing more normal than that.
But these days, being able to invite guests to your home and prepare a table of meals in person is something you really take seriously.
Ning Buxiu didn't seem to be curious at all about why Fu Canglan went to Northern Xinjiang, and he never asked about it from beginning to end.
After the tea was brewed, Gu Yuan asked, "By the way, Uncle Ning, what happened to the people on the Walan?"
After all, Gu Yuan had promised to let them go back safely before, and he still kept this matter in mind.
"Oh... those people have all been sent back. After all, the embassy has come forward, so we can't give them any face at all!" Ning Buxiu laughed.
"Embassy? They asked to take people over?"
"That's not true. They strongly requested not to let those people go back, but this is Daxia, and those people are not from Daxia, so why should they stay here?" Ning Buxiu said with a serious face.
Gu Yuan understood somewhat.
The people in the Embassy of the Beautiful Country certainly don’t want the people on the Walan to go back safely. After all, the news has been leaked. Now, the crew members on the Walan have become the center of attention, and the eyes of the whole world are watching. Watching them.
As long as they return to the beautiful country, I don't know how many news media want to dig out more information from them. .
"So, wouldn't it be doomed?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Looking at it now, it is indeed the case." Ning Buxiu said, "The beautiful country has officially issued a statement. Next, it will regard Nature as a key target. Although Nature will state again and again, it is all the fault of Freire and others. Personal behavior has nothing to do with nature, and obviously no one wants to buy it."
After a pause, Ning Buxiu continued: "However, the Natural Society is too important to the beautiful country, especially since the research funds of the Natural Society over the years have been provided by several mysterious families, and they have also become the beneficiaries of the genes. To put it bluntly, the officials of the beautiful country and the natural society are all broken bones and tendons, and the supporters behind them are the same, so what the officials of the beautiful country are doing now are just superficial."
"In other words, even if this matter is exposed, it will not cause a heavy blow to nature?"
"Why not?" Ning Buxiu laughed and said, "Naturally, they were originally the most powerful extraordinary force in the beautiful country, but now they have become rats on the street, lost the support of the people, and become rats in the gutter. I'm sure It’s out of sight, and this will of course cause a lot of damage and trouble to their future operations.”
Speaking of this, Ning Bujie was in a good mood. After all, the enemy was having a hard time, which was something worthy of setting off firecrackers. At this time, of course he was willing to say a few more sarcastic words and use a tone of regret, but he couldn't hide it between his eyebrows. smile.
"Oh, thinking about it this way, I feel a headache for them. Naturally, they want to get out of this situation, but it is extremely difficult. Unless, one day in the future, when the beautiful country encounters a major threat, they will naturally be able to stand up and resolve the crisis. , become their only support, otherwise, they will have to hide in the gutter for the rest of their lives!"
Gu Yuan also laughed.
Anyway, he didn't have a good impression of people who knew it naturally.
Ning took a sip of tea during his lunch break, looked at Gu Yuan, and suddenly became serious again.
"Gu Yuan, do you know why I brought you here this time?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
Ning Buxiu said seriously again: "You may be annoyed."
