Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 142

Si Ningning recalled Song Xiaoyun's enthusiasm for Mo Bei before, and more or less sensed that something was wrong. Even if Song Xiaoyun really liked Mo Bei, she wouldn't be too jealous for a kettle, right?
Even if the kettle really belonged to Mo Bei, Si Ningning didn't think that Song Xiaoyun's liking had reached the point where she would be jealous.

After thinking about it, Si Ningning looked back at Song Xiaoyun with clear deer eyes, and kindly reminded, "Are you really not drinking? It's only three o'clock now, and there are still more than three hours before work ends."

If it's still dark after six o'clock, according to the current busyness, the work time may have to be postponed.

"Thank you Ningning, I'm really not thirsty anymore." Song Xiaoyun ignored Si Ningning's kindness, directly stuffed the water bottle into Si Ningning's arms, turned around and left.

Jiang Yue frowned fiercely, and said impatiently: "Forget it if she doesn't drink, give it to me."

Si Ningning gave Jiang Yue and Xu Shuhua the water from the general water bottle.

"It's so hot here, go back quickly." Jiang Yue urged Si Ningning.

Si Ningning nodded, but also felt that it was too hot, said a few more words, and walked back.

Behind her, Jiang Yue held the jar and took a few sips perfunctorily, looking around for something, the water in the jar didn't drink much at all, as if she kept it for someone.

……

When Si Ningning returned to the pigsty, Sanya and Zhou Xiaocui had already gone home to bring water to the parents, only Hegu was left waiting there.

Seeing Si Ningning come back, He Gu who hugged his knees and huddled in a ball instantly got up, "Si Ningning!"

"..." Si Ningning was speechless for a while.

Corrected many times to ask He Gu to call her sister, but it didn't work, so she simply didn't say anything.

"What's the matter?" Si Ningning forked up the pigweed that had already shed its dew and threw it into the pigsty.

"I'll tell you my big brother!" He Gu persistently followed Si Ningning around.

"I know, your elder brother is Huo Lang."

"no!"

"Why not?"

Si Ningning tilted his head and looked down at He Gu, the little guy shook his head vigorously, blushing with anxiety, "That's not it, I said that's not what I said."

He Gu was a little unhappy, just for a moment, he looked up at Si Ningning with sparkling eyes again, and asked like a little adult, "How old are you?"

Si Ningning didn't think too much, and replied casually: "17, what's wrong?"

"Ah..." He Gu's expression froze instantly when he heard this.

Afterwards, when Si Ningning asked any more questions, He Gu refused to answer.

Xu was annoyed by the questioning, so he just ran away, and Si Ningning was taken aback.

It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, and the mind of this half-grown child is also difficult to guess!
Si Ningning stood in front of the pigsty, shaking her head to see He Gu disappearing at the end of the alley, then turned around to scoop up the slop, mixed the pig food and smeared it for a while, and she was almost ready to go back to the educated youth point.

On this side, Si Ningning was busy, while on the other side, He Gu returned home with a sullen face.

Sanae was squatting in the yard, teasing the hen with a small wooden stick in her hand, when she saw Hegu came back, Sanae threw the stick, got up and shouted happily: "Second brother! You are back! "

"Humph." He Gu snorted angrily, sat down on the little Maza next to Sanae, hooked his head for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Brother, are you coming back today? When will you be back?"

"The county has been busy recently, and I don't know if elder brother will come back today." Sanae replied, with a smile on her small round face, "Second brother, are you hungry? There are still some steamed sweet potatoes left at noon. I'll get it for you."

As he said that, he was about to enter the house, but he heard He Gu humming and shouting: "I don't want to eat, so don't give it to me."

It's not just a matter of a day or two that my second brother has a strange temper. Sanae has long been used to it, and she is not angry. Da Lala squats in front of He Gu, puts her elbows on her knees, rests her chin on her hands, looks up at He Gu and smiles, "Is the second brother thirsty, or does he want to eat candy? The eldest brother brought a lot back last time, and there are still some left."

When Tang was mentioned, He Gu thought of Si Ningning, and couldn't help but shake his head twice, his stern face also showed a little bit of emotion.

Just as He Gu was about to speak, there was another "creak" at the gate of the courtyard, and someone pushed the door open.

He turned his head twice, stood up instantly, "Brother!"

"Big brother!"

The two cubs scattered to one side, and one of them grabbed Huo Lang's hand and shook it, "Brother, did the mission go well this time? Are you tired? I'll go and pour water for my brother!"

Saying that, Sanae entered the room and quickly poured water.

He Gu still grabbed Huo Lang's arm and didn't let go. Huo Lang's eyebrows were tired, and he patiently freed up his other hand to stroke He Gu's little head, "What have you and Sanae been doing at home these two days? Did you have a good meal? "

"Brother." He Gu's dark eyes rolled around, he looked up at Huo Lang, his neck was so slender that one worried that it might break at any time.

He Gu didn't answer, but lowered his head, and asked sadly, "If I can eat well, how much younger will my elder brother be?"

"What is this nonsense?"

This question made Huo Lang confused, but he didn't think much about it. He bowed and put He Gu in his arms, and carried him to the main room, "You think the eldest brother is old and can't support you anymore?"

San Miao brought water, Huo Lang took it in his hand, and He Gu sat on the bamboo bed, looking up at Huo Lang thoughtfully while drinking the water.

Si Ningning is 17 years old, but his elder brother is 24 years old.

I used to hear from my aunt on the team that a man who has not married a wife after the age of 20 is a typical old bachelor.

At his elder brother's age, isn't he an old bachelor?
He Gu thought sadly: Si Ningning would definitely despise his elder brother.

After drinking the water, Huo Lang handed the enamel jar to San Miao, and asked San Miao to put it back. He turned his head and saw He Gu was staring at him. He rubbed He Gu's head with his big hand, "What kind of eyes are these?"

He Gu was like an angry cat, and dodged it with a "hum", but turned his head again after a while, and said seriously: "Brother, can you learn from the educated youths? They are more elegant in their jackets, but the jackets of my elder brother are even smaller." Yes, every time I put it on, my shoulders are bulging, not gentle at all."

The same clothes don't look right at all. He Gu is young and doesn't know anything. He just thinks it's a problem with the clothes. How could he know that his elder brother's arms are muscles that have been practiced all year round.

Before going to the countryside, the educated youths only held books and didn't do any heavy work at all. The waist, abdomen and arms were naturally flat.

Huo Lang didn't say this, even if he did, half-children wouldn't understand.

Huo Lang only looked at Sanae who was on one side, and asked what was causing the trouble.

Sanae turned her head to think for a moment, and said seriously: "Big Brother, Second Brother has been going to the pigsty for the past few days... The female educated youth who came to our house before seems to be arranged to work there."

Huo Lang was thoughtful, and He Gu simply admitted, "Si Ningning gave me soda today. It's sweet and sour, and it's a hundred times better than the soda bought by elder brother."

As he spoke, He Gu's expression flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Just for a moment, he looked at Huo Lang sadly again, "Brother, when people ask your age in the future, don't say you are 24 years old, just say, um, you just say you are 19... Forget it, just say you are 20 years old." [-] years old!"

Although his elder brother looks good, he is the most handsome one in the team, but the boss usually put on a face, and those who are not close to him think that his elder brother is scary, saying that 20 years old may be barely believed by others, but if he is 19, others will not believe it.

He Gu thought about it, grabbed the corner of Huo Lang's clothes again, and said old-fashionedly: "Brother, you should smile more in the future, the boss will put on a face, no girl will fall in love with you."

"Stinky boy."

The more He Gu spoke, the more out of tune he became. Huo Lang stretched out his long arms, clamped He Gu by his waist, and patted his butt twice before letting go.

But when mentioning Si Ningning, Huo Lang remembered the bamboo basket and sieve that he promised that girl a while ago.

Originally it was said that it could be edited in two or three days, and the busy farming season was approaching. The county was afraid of delaying the production team's rush to harvest, so they put together the recent work and planned to finish it before the double rush.

He has been busy in the county for more than half a month, and he is worried about his younger brothers and sisters. Occasionally, he will come back when he is free from his busy schedule, and he will leave after drinking a glass of water and ordering a few words.

Now that I’m back from work in the county, in a few days the team will have to rush to collect it. If it’s going to drag on, I guess I’ll have to wait until autumn to make things up for that girl...

There is "sugar" first, no matter how busy Huo Lang is, he is too embarrassed to procrastinate. He immediately got up and washed his arms and face by the well in the backyard. Bamboo strips, sitting in the shade by the well, got busy.

As soon as Huo Lang weaved the bottom of the bamboo basket, He Gu came around from the kitchen, squatted on one side and pointed: "Brother, don't you know how to weave small goldfish? You are here, weave half of the basket around the waist." ? Girls will definitely like it."

"Talk too much." Huo Lang scolded softly, but actually raised his deep eyebrows slightly.

That girl is delicate and naive, he asked her something, and she agreed without hesitation... If she can be happy, that's fine.

Right to repay the favor.

Huo Lang stepped on the bamboo basket that had been woven into a small circle, freed his hand to pull out a small handful of bamboo thread from the bamboo strip, and began to weave it with his fingers nimbly.

After a while you can see the bulge on the goldfish's back.

When He Gu saw it, he knew that his elder brother was overjoyed when he heard what he said. He puffed out his mouth and smiled complacently. When Si Ningning took it out, it was thought to be his own, and he took it by mistake."

He Gu's worry is completely unnecessary.

In the past, some people in the three teams knew how to weave, but because of some things, this weaving method was gradually lost.

And Huo Lang, the little goldfish, learned how to weave from a veteran who was a few years older than him when he was in the army.

Whether it is training in the army school field or actually going to the battlefield, it is very difficult. Some recruits can't persevere, but there is no way out. The veteran treats the recruits like they treat their own brothers and feet. Gadgets, made up one by one in spare time and given to recruits, encouraging recruits to finish this battle, and then they can go home and reunite with their families...

Huo Lang was weaving small goldfish in his hands, and the eyes of those recruits full of homesickness and tears appeared in his mind, and finally, the veteran was blown up and lost his lower body, lying under the black soil of the artillery fire, holding his hand with difficulty. The sound of "Alang", "Alang" made him terrified, and the blood in his bones solidified every minute and every second with the passage of time...

"Brother, have you tied your hands yet?"

He Gu hugged his knees and tilted his head, not understanding why his eldest brother's eyes suddenly turned red.

Huo Lang regained consciousness quickly, raised his head, rubbed his big palms in front of his eyes, and when he put down his hands again, his expression had returned to normal.

While he was busy with his hands, he corrected the inappropriateness of He Gu's words, "In the future, when I see you, I will call you sister, and the little boy must have a backbone. You can't ask for things from others, even if they are given by others, you have to refuse."

"Hmph." He Gu pouted, stared down at Huo Lang's weaving of the little goldfish, and said nothing.

On the other side, Si Ningning finished his work in the pigpen, and before returning to the educated youth spot, steamed rice in the advanced space, then returned to the educated youth spot to pack up, and started to make today's big pot of rice.

As soon as the pilot fire was lit in the stove, someone shouted outside.

Si Ningning went out to have a look, and it was Chen Lianmi who came, "What's wrong, Auntie?"

Chen Lianmi had two bundles of rice burdens at her feet, and she was standing by the vegetable field on the side of the educated youth site. When she saw Si Ningning come out, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Si Zhiqing, the field is really too busy. , will you go down to the field tomorrow and help out? Just help bind the rice. It’s a very boring day, and it’s probably going to rain in the next two days. If the millet can’t be picked back in time, it will rot in the ground.”

"Yes, aunt." Si Ningning nodded quickly, and then said after a long while: "But aunt, the educated youths have a heavy workload recently, and now I am in charge of cooking. I will feed the pigs and go to the field tomorrow, and I have to go to the field at noon." Is it okay to go home early?"

"Okay, these are easy to talk about. It's a great help if you can help." Chen Lianmi smiled, squatted down to pick up the burden again, and walked slowly towards the upper threshing ground, and said: "This time, Comrade Educated Youth They also helped a lot, but we can't let them go hungry."

If the educated youths are really hungry and will not be able to work hard at that time, wouldn't it mean that there will be less labor force?
That would be worth the loss.

"Okay, Educated Youth, you cook, and I'll pick the rice bundles. It's early in the morning, so hurry up and pick a few more."

"Okay, auntie, take it easy."

Si Ningning went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. When the other educated youths came back in the evening, the food on the dining table was much more honest than the previous few days.

A large pot of tomato soup with oily flowers, and a plate full of fried pumpkin.

This month, work points are exchanged for rations in the team, most of which are sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are not like rice, steaming a pot is not easy to distinguish who is whose and how much.

Generally speaking, sweet potatoes are counted. I took out a few before, and now I divide them. If you remember what shape and what it looks like, you can pick it yourself without ruining others.

A group of people sat at the table, and there were two sweet potatoes in front of each person. In addition, there was a full lunch box full of soup in each individual lunch box.

Li Lingyuan was not afraid of being hot, so he said with a "hoo hoo" and said, "Hey, ever since Si Zhiqing took over the job of cooking, I have been looking forward to the meeting every day. Not to mention, the sour soup is really appetizing! "
