Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 126
Chen Lianmi knocked on the door, and approached the door with the sound of an old cough accompanied by the sound of grinding footsteps, "Which one is it? Come (liao), come (liao)."

An old lady's voice came.

Chen Lianmi immediately smiled and said, "Hu Po, it's me, Lianmi."

The door opened in response to the sound, and a little head covered in silver thread tied with rags poked out. The old lady's head only reached Si Ningning's chest. Judging by her posture, her bones shrank with age. It is estimated that she was even 1.5 meters tall. less than.

Hu Po opened the door and invited the two into the house, Si Ningning looked at the small courtyard.

Although it is a house of green bricks and tiles and the courtyard wall, there are obvious cracks on the wall, and the courtyard is empty, except for a well in the corner, large tanks and buckets filled with water, there is nothing.

Si Ningning had some suspicions in his heart, turned his head and glanced at Po Hu's feet, and saw a pair of three-inch golden lotuses as expected.

Obviously, this family...

It was not an ordinary family in the past.

"Hu Po, it's not something else. Didn't you say that the chicks were out of their shells yesterday? No, I brought you people. You can invite the educated youth comrades to take a look and pick them out. It’s not dark, we’ll go back in a while.”

When I was looking at the yard just now, I heard Chen Lianmi and Hu Po talking about homework, one was introducing Si Ningning, and the other was constantly thanking the other for his care over the years.

Now that Chen Lianmi had come to this point, Si Ningning didn't write any ink, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Hi mother-in-law, I want a total of six chickens."

Hu Po walked slowly to lead Si Ningning and Chen Lianmi into the room.

He kept saying 'no, no, no, I dare not accept the kindness of you young juniors'.

Si Ningning was confused, and Chen Lianmi gave her a hand. From an angle that Hu Po couldn't see, she moved her mouth but didn't make a sound: "This is a mental illness..."

What's going on, Si Ningning understood, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing that would hurt the old man's heart, after that she basically didn't say much, how much money, money or tickets, etc., were all negotiated by Chen Lianmi.

Si Ningning looked into the broken basket with the help of the weak light from the window after Po Hu carried away the old hen that was being beaten.

The baskets have been used for a long time, and the tightly bound edges have become loose, and the sticks of bamboo are like arrows, and they will be pierced if you don't pay attention.

But this is the outside, with some straw inside, which has been compacted by the hens long ago, making it extremely round. , not to mention how cute.

"Si Zhiqing, the eggs are four cents a piece, and the chickens are also damaged. My aunt does not favor anyone. The members of the commune exchange chickens for a dime, or a catty and a half of sweet potatoes for one. You are the same. Look at this." Will it work?"

Sweet potatoes are coarse grains, and the exchange rate for fine grains is 3:1. Si Ningning has just finished his work, and knows that the price of rice at the grain station is 1 cents a catty, and the price given by Hu Po is very reasonable.

But she can't come up with food now, and it's best to use money to solve it.

After all, it is the educated youth who buy chickens uniformly. Some people are short of money and can’t do without food rations. Some have ample money and don’t care about half a catty. stand.

Si Ningning got up quickly and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I will listen to my aunt, and I can rest assured that my aunt will handle things."

Chen Lianmi nodded, and turned to look at Po Hu, "The educated youth comrades have just arrived, and they don't have much food in hand, Po Po Hu, look..."

The condition of Mrs. Hu's family must be more suitable for food. If it is money, it can't be spent without a ticket.

But Chen Lianmi talked about this, and Hu Po didn't want to embarrass Si Ningning, so she said, "Then it's a dime."

The old man probably has asthma, and there is a "roaring" in her throat, as if a cock is stuck in it. Anyone can hear her physical discomfort.

Si Ningning didn't smudge, took out a handful of ten-cent bills from his pocket, and handed them to Chen Lianmi by the window.

Chen Lianmi counted again, and after confirming that there was no problem, she handed the money to Po Hu, "Po Po Hu, please order more money."

Hu Po's eyes were narrowed, and her face was almost stuck on the ten-cent bills. After reading it to confirm that there was no problem, she raised her hand and asked Si Ningning to pick the chicken.

Si Ningning doesn't know how to pick pigs, and naturally he doesn't know how to pick chickens, so he turned his attention to Chen Lianmi for help, "Auntie, can you help me take a look? I don't want a rooster, I just want a chicken that can lay eggs."

Each household can only raise three chickens at most, and the eggs can be exchanged for daily needs in the supply and marketing cooperatives. The members of the cooperatives are willing to raise hens instead of roosters. Si Ningning's request is also reasonable.

Chicks that have just been hatched for a few days basically look the same. A layman really can't tell the male from the female, but Chen Lianmi understands, "It's easy to tell the difference between male and female chicks."

Chen Lianmi squatted down, picked up a chick familiarly and taught Si Ningning, "Look at this chick, it has a pointy butt, and it is probably a rooster. The oval butt is designated as a hen. If you are not sure, Just listen to the crowing of chicks, the crisp one is the rooster, while the crowing of the hen is much finer."

Si Ningning listened carefully.

It really is.

The chicken in Chen Lianmi's hand had a very clear and loud cry, and the other chicken with an oval buttock had a softer and more delicate cry.

With one hand of money and one hand of goods, six little chickens were put into the back basket, and there were seven or eight chickens in the broken basket. Si Ningning was moved in his heart, and asked Hu Po: "Grandma, the family can only raise three chickens, how about you?" There are so many little chicks, what do we do with them?"

Chen Lianmi simply thought that Si Ningning was worried about Hu Po, and immediately answered with a smile: "Our team only looks at Hu Po's skills in hatching chickens, and we will release the news tomorrow, just waiting for them to come to the door...you, Just put your heart in your stomach."

Hu Po also laughed a few times with "hoo hoo", looked at Si Ningning with cloudy eyes, and reminded kindly: "Girl, mother-in-law doesn't fool you, this chicken is solid, you can take it home with you, just don't worry, usually feed some rice bran to the baby." Reptiles make it grow fast! But you have to remember one thing, chickens are small now, not only weasels are watching, but also night cats (mouses) are watching."

Si Ningning quickly nodded and said that he had written it down, but he thought in his heart: Weasel and night owl?

It seems that she, a liar, is going online again.

Si Ningning: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Coming out of Mrs. Hu's house, Si Ningning more or less heard some news from Chen Lianmi.

For example, Mrs. Hu's surname is not Hu, but her husband's surname is Hu.

For another example, the Hu family was a landlord before.

More than ten years ago, the big family was prosperous, but now the trees are down and the monkeys are scattered, and only Hu Po and a married granddaughter are left in the big family.

Because the Hu family was a good family in the past, the road and bridge in the mountain were originally built by the Hu family, but they were widened and strengthened later.

There were people who came to make trouble before, but they were stopped by Zhao Hongbing, who had become the captain of course. After several twists and turns, they probably knew that Zhao Hongbing was a tough guy, and those people gradually stopped coming.

All in all, all in all, the Hu family has done a lot of good deeds, and people say that good deeds reap good results, which is probably the reason.

Later, Hu Xiaomei got married, and Hu Po lived in seclusion.

Years and months were poor, and the members of the team were too busy to help, but one handful of cowpeas today could still yield two eggplants tomorrow. With such help, we have reached today without knowing it.

That's the thing.

"Being kind to others doesn't mean how much feedback you can get, but if something goes wrong, there must be someone willing to help."

Before parting, Chen Lianmi said this sentence.

Si Ningning nodded in agreement, and was about to say something, when Chen Lianmi suddenly changed the subject: "You asked me about raising pigs last time, why, are you interested in this matter?"

"Ah, this..." Si Ningning froze for a moment, scratching the side of his face with his index finger in embarrassment.

How to explain it?
Where is she interested in raising pigs?

In fact, the pig feed in the space was almost exhausted at that time, and she was anxious to solve the pig "ration" issue.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lianmi took this matter to heart.

Hey, this is really...!you

Si Ningning hesitated, and wanted to find some excuse to smooth things over, but Chen Lianmi seemed to see her twitchiness, so she didn't ask any more questions, instead she smiled with ulterior motives, waved her hand and said that it was getting dark, Let her go back first.

Si Ningning was a little confused, but in order to avoid falling into a deeper deadlock, she thanked her and turned back to the educated youth spot.

All the way to the corner of the old house in the grove, Si Ningning's face was stiff, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A warm current gushed out from the lower abdomen, combined with the stomach discomfort in the afternoon, coupled with inexplicable irritability and worries, Si Ningning more or less understood something.

She, here comes the aunt.

Stiffly, he looked around, but there was no one there, and then he swayed into the space in the darkness, put the back basket flat in the living room, Si Ningning rushed to the bathroom, and took off his pants, it was true.

The quantity is extraordinarily large, and the color is not quite normal...

"Huh..." Si Ningning breathed out.

Accompanied by the fishy smell coming from his nostrils, Si Ningning frantically tore the rolled paper, and suddenly his eyes turned red, "Why do women have to suffer like this?"

In my memory, the original body was actually not in good health because of the lack of daily nutrition supply, and it was very common for the aunt to do things like this intermittently, not coming once every two or three months.

In the past month, it should be that her diet has improved too much, and her physical fitness has improved obviously, but even so, it is obvious that further adjustments are still needed.

Si Ningning reckoned that the aunt probably came in the afternoon, but she didn't pay attention at that time. Fortunately, the pants she was wearing were black, which saved her from making a fool of herself.

Si Ningning wiped off the blood, soaked her underwear and trousers separately, took a shower to wash off the fishy smell, put on the aunt's towel and changed into clean clothes, and felt better.

Thanks to the three stores before, things were not in vain, and there were a lot of black pants of the same size or similar size, so she had enough clothes to change in time.

After drinking a glass of brown sugar water, his lower abdomen felt warm and comfortable, and his forehead sweated a lot. Si Ningning flushed his face, and then left the space with the basket on his back.

There was no one on the path, and the sky was already dark. In addition, the surrounding area was surrounded by trees, so the light source could not be reflected, making it look particularly gloomy.

Rubbing the goosebumps on his arms, Si Ningning hopped and ran back.

The educated youth lighted the chimney and the smoke wafted out, and the top of the bamboo grove swayed back and forth a little bit, and the outline of the black paint was faintly visible, dotted by the smoke so that the clouds were misty, just like an ink painting.

Xu Shuhua was cooking in the kitchen, and the others were scattered around in front of the door. From time to time, they would glance at the side of the house. Seeing Si Ningning come back, Jiang Yue was the first to greet him, "How is it? Where's the chicken? Give it to me take a look!"

The others gathered around one after another. Si Ningning was absent-minded about his aunt's affairs, so he simply handed over the basket, "One dime for each, a total of [-] cents."

"Wow! So fluffy, so cute!"

"This is the first time I've seen a little chicken. It looks nothing like a big chicken. Are you sure I'm not mistaken? Oh? Where's Si Ningning?" Jiang Yue raised her head, and among the few people around, she didn't see Si Ningning. Ning Ning.

Si Ningning had already entered the room when everyone was sizing up the chicken, and now he was lying on the bed facing inward.

Jiang Yue handed the basket to the male educated youth, entered the room and stood beside Si Ningning's bed.

Jiang Yue has a somewhat arrogant temperament. Even if she reconciles with Si Ningning, she doesn't have a lot of daily communication, so she just nods and "huh" a few times when communicating.

Seeing that something was wrong with Si Ningning, Jiang Yue hesitated and hesitated, and finally asked tentatively: "Hey, what's wrong with you? The chicken seller doesn't speak well?"

"No..." Si Ningning replied feebly, waved his hands weakly, "I'm just a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."

"Don't you have dinner?"

"Don't eat."

"Isn't that ration paid for nothing? Are you stupid? Can't you sleep after eating?"

Jiang Yue's concerns are very reasonable, but Si Ningning really can't bring up that kind of energy.

Aunt Lai was not in a good mood at first, and she soaked in cold water again in the afternoon. Not to mention her backache, her stomach was also swollen and uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuexu babbled on and on, but Si Ningning couldn't hold back all of a sudden, turned over and pushed Jiang Yue, "I said no, don't eat, can you let me be quiet for a while!"

The usually clever lark-like person suddenly became furious, his eyes were round and round, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Jiang Yue didn't know why Si Ningning was like this, but she was treated like this when she kindly suggested it. Her nose and nose were stretched and closed, and she was very angry, "Why are you like this? I obviously mean it!"

How could Si Ningning have the patience to listen to her babble right now?

With a sound of "Duang", the man lay down again, covered his head with the pillow with his backhand, and Jiang Yue fell on his back in anger again.

"Take it as a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions, like a capitalist lady! You see, I won't care about you in the future!" Jiang Yue stomped her feet fiercely, slammed the door and left.

Just when the meal was cooked, Xu Shuhua came out from the kitchen to call for someone to eat, and seeing Jiang Yue furious, she asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Yue snorted forcefully, turned around and left the main room door.

"It's time to eat, where are you going?"

Xu Shuhua yelled, but no one answered.

"Why is it like a firecracker? It caught fire before it was lit?"

……

Xu Shuhua called Si Ningning for dinner, but Si Ningning didn't get up. When she woke up, it was already past three in the middle of the night.
