Chapter 143 Snake

"It's very delicious... It would be great if there were eggs, tomato and egg soup, it tastes better if you specify it."

"Stop talking, okay? My saliva is about to flow into the soup."

"You are disgusting, go away!"

Everyone at the table sang together, Jiang Yue carefully took a sip of the soup, then turned to Si Ningning, "By the way, when will our chickens lay eggs?"

Si Ningning came out of the kitchen with her own lunch box and Mo Bei's lunch box in her hand. Hearing Jiang Yue's words, she let out an angry 'tsk', "What are you thinking! It takes two and a half months for a chicken to lay an egg, It has been three months, and now the hair tubes have just grown, and the hairs have not yet fully grown."

"Two or three months? Isn't it late autumn?" Jiang Yue's face turned pale in an instant, "I asked the sister-in-law in the team before, and they said that there were fewer reptiles in the cold weather, and the chickens would not be able to eat enough to affect the laying of eggs. At that time, they could lay eggs in one day. Six eggs?"

It's good to be able to lay eggs, and six eggs?

Si Ningning shook his head, leaned over and sat beside Song Xiaoyun at the corner of the table, stretched out his hand and pushed the other lunch box to the opposite side, "Here."

Mo Bei was sitting opposite Si Ningning, and after a while, everyone noticed the two of them, or in other words, noticed their lunch boxes.

cooked rice!
The unique fragrance of rice grains can be smelled from far away.

Li Lingyuan stared wide-eyed and swallowed his saliva.

And it's not just rice, Mo Bei and Si Ningning's lunch boxes also have other dishes separately, with garlic on top, and there is a faint smell of sesame oil, which should be from cold salad.

In fact, it was the cold purslane that Si Ningning ate in the space before.

Li Lingyuan looked at Mo Bei, then at Si Ningning, and muttered bitterly for a while: "Si Zhiqing, why do you treat him differently?"

Si Ningning bent his lips and smiled, looked at Mo Bei who was facing him, and said, "It's not my fault, it was Mo Zhiqing who entrusted me to do it. I, at most, can only get the honor."

Ma Chi Jian can be found everywhere in the countryside, and garlic can also be exchanged with the aunts and sisters-in-law in the team. The only rare thing is sesame oil.

With Mo Bei's behavior of giving out half a catty of oil in one breath before, and now he is carrying the pot of "sesame oil", everyone is not surprised at all.

I even feel envious.

But envy can only be envious, who told them that only Si Ningning cooks delicious food?

Li Lingyuan has long been used to Mo Bei's "lavishness". Another thing, he and Mo Bei have been familiar for a long time, so he naturally handed the sweet potato with two bites to Mo Bei, "Boss, Mo Boss! Give me some, Let me try it too!"

Mo Bei opened the lunch box and saw the cold salad inside. He was actually a little surprised. When Si Ningning looked at him and said those words just now, he vaguely sensed Si Ningning's intentions, so he didn't expose Si Ningning's intentions. Throwing pot behavior.

Seeing Li Lingyuan handing over the sweet potatoes again, Mo Bei seemed to be teasing Li Lingyuan intentionally. He clamped the chopsticks generously, picking up a big lump. Seeing that the corners of Li Lingyuan's mouth were almost grinning behind his ears, Mo Bei suddenly shook his hand again, and the chopsticks The big lump on the top is gone, and there is only one purslane left, no more, no less.

He put the purslane on Li Lingyuan's sweet potato.

Li Lingyuan's face wrinkled in an instant, "Tsk!" Smash your mouth, don't give in, "A little more, there are too few teats! I have big gaps in my teeth!"

Mo Bei just picked up some more sweet potatoes and put them on top of him.

After eating the cold purslane into his mouth, Li Lingyuan chewed while showing an expression of enjoyment. He was so funny that almost everyone sitting at the table was amused by him.

Some people are envious, some are happy, and some are unhappy.

Song Xiaoyun lowered her head and silently ate the sweet potato in her hand, but her gaze squinted, fixed on the rice in Si Ningning's bowl.

The snow-white rice grains are shrouded in a layer of crystal luster by the dim light of the kerosene lamp. Just looking at them, they feel delicious and soft.

If the food is stained because of helping to cook, what about the rice?
Is it rice too?
So how can a lunch box of rice cost two or two meters?

Wouldn't it be too much?Obviously, it was just a quick meal.

Song Xiaoyun subconsciously believed that Si Ningning relied on Mo Bei to ask her for help, and knew that Mo Bei was a quiet master, so she deliberately took advantage.

Thinking about it this way, Song Xiaoyun felt that the military kettle that Si Ningning carried during the day, which was exactly the same as Mo Bei, was definitely not as simple as Si Ningning explained.

So, Mo Bei sent Si Ningning to him?
Or, did Si Ningning ask Mo Bei for it?
Song Xiaoyun's thoughts surged.

On the other hand, because both Xu Shuhua and Jiang Yue said that they wanted to try the cold purslane, Si Ningning simply pushed the lunch box forward, "You guys pack it yourself, just leave some for me."

While talking, Si Ningning reached out to pick up the pumpkin.

Purslane is everywhere, and it is worthless at all. The only thing that can be called "extravagant" is sesame oil.

However, there are dozens of boxes of sesame oil in Si Ningning's space, which is not enough in her eyes.

And in order not to appear so "wealthy and powerful", the sesame oil used for mixing purslane this time is far less than that used in the space last time.

Si Ningning has a steelyard in her heart, especially after what happened to Wu Yong last time. Although she is still taking care of the educated youths in the room as much as possible, in fact, she has been trying to control things within a reasonable range.

It's like mixing purslane today, it's not worth anything at all, she could have mixed a big plate and everyone got points, but she didn't do that.

why?

Because giving wishfully is different from asking others.

"Thank you Ningning~" Xu Shuhua said with a smile. Seeing that Song Xiaoyun didn't move, she pushed Song Xiaoyun and asked, "Xiaoyun, don't you want some? The taste is very good, refreshing and appetizing."

"No, no need, I'm full." Song Xiaoyun lowered her head and shook her head, closed the lunch box, stood up holding half a bowl of soup and half-eaten sweet potatoes, and walked straight across the bench back to the room.

Someone at the table asked, "I've done so much work today, is this enough?"

Xu Shuhua thought for a while and replied casually: "Maybe it's hot, I don't have much appetite now."

The people at the table didn't continue this topic. Song Shuhan looked at Si Ningning over there, pushed the frame of the mirror and smiled and said, "Si Zhiqing, if I have fine grains next time, can I ask you to make them? Like you and Like Mo Bei, I will share with you as much as he shares with you."

Si Ningning thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

She did it for Mo Bei, there is no reason to reject Song Shuhan and the others, otherwise it would seem too deliberate.

Li Lingyuan's eyes were full of envy: "I want family subsidies, and I will also ask Si Zhiqing to give me a small stove!"

Too bad he didn't wow!

Jiang Yue pursed her lips, "Isn't the whole grain and dry food cooked in the same pot? Look at you one by one, it's really cheap."

Li Lingyuan immediately retorted: "Food is food, vegetables are vegetables! You want the same one, why don't we have side dishes mixed with sesame oil today?"

Isn't it because you can't get the sesame oil?
Jiang Yue fell silent.

This sentence also reminded everyone that it is better to have a precedent of opening a small stove, which is better than buying meat in better conditions in the future. You can't have to share it with others just because it comes out of the same pot, right?Who can do it willingly?Maybe they will all have to fight by then?
Anyway, the left is nothing but my own thing, as long as you like it.

Thinking about this clearly, the main room was full of laughter, and the excitement resumed.

Song Xiaoyun sat alone by the bed in the dark, and heard the movement in the main room through a wall, feeling very uncomfortable, even the soup and sweet potatoes in her hand lost their original taste.

Don't eat, but I'm hungry, and it's hot now, so tomorrow's appointment will be bad.

Song Xiaoyun sighed, and finished the soup and sweet potatoes in small bites.

Not feeling well, coupled with physical fatigue, Song Xiaoyun felt drowsy as soon as she put down the lunch box, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep without washing her dazed face.

Afterwards, the other girls lowered the latch and came in. Seeing that Song Xiaoyun was already asleep, they all relaxed their movements.

Si Ningning had already emphasized hygiene issues earlier, but this period of time was special, even though she was upset, she didn't say anything.

After hurriedly washing up and climbing into bed, Si Ningning complained to Xu Shuhua in a low voice: "The kerosene lamp is too dark...I'll buy another one when I go back to town, and put it here."

Si Ningning pointed to the side of the bed, the small table that was bought from the scrap yard earlier had been repaired, and now it was lying between her and Xu Shuhua's beds.

"Stay close, and you don't have to squint your eyes all the time when you read, write, or do something else."

Xu Shuhua nodded, but then said after a while: "I'm so busy and tired every day, and I just fall asleep when I come back. How can I have time to read, write, and do other things?"

"It's still summer. When it comes to autumn and winter, maybe there are other jobs to do."

The most important thing is that buying kerosene lamps also costs money. The last time Si Ningning helped buy the oil, she hasn't paid it off yet.

Si Ningning complained and puffed her mouth, and lay back lazily on her side, "The body is the capital of the revolution, and so are the eyes of course. Let me tell you, Shuhua, if you don't pay attention now, if there is something wrong with the eyes in the future, It’s too late to regret.”

Xu Shuhua didn't take it to heart, and answered casually cheerfully: "Then you buy it, our two beds are close, and I will rub you when the time comes."

"Okay, since you've helped me a lot, then I'll agree."

With a few gags, Si Ningning was also a little sleepy, before the lights were turned on in the room, she fell asleep in a daze.

In the early morning of the next day, Si Ningning got up early to make porridge, and put everyone's lunch boxes filled with rations on the steaming plate and put them in the pot.

When the others got up to eat one after another, she had already drank half a bowl of porridge, and went to bed to catch up on sleep. When she woke up again, it was already bright outside the window, and there was no one in the educated youth spot except her.

Si Ningning yawned and got up, loosened his hair and combed it into a ponytail again, washed his face and regained his senses, washed out the elephant trunk pot, filled it with water and put it on the ice in the space, and then left the space.

After finding the straw hat and putting it on, Si Ningning led the educated youth to the gate and went up to the team.

Today was a very busy day, so Si Ningning took the rice bran to feed the pigs.

She came out early today, the pigsty is almost cleaned, and the little carrot heads haven't come yet.

Si Ningning had other work to do, so he didn't want to delay too much. He took out the military water bottle from the space and took it with him, and then took out the elephant trunk pot to give water to others by the way.

Chen Lianmi only said to let her go to the field to help tie the rice, but did not specify the location. After delivering the water, Si Ningning walked back along the field stalks, and randomly chose a field that was cut but not tied.

Rice is grown in paddy fields. When harvesting rice, the water in the field is released first. Now that the sun is scorching, the water on the surface of the field has almost dried up, but the shoes will still sink when you step on it.

Si Ningning pulled out her feet, took off her shoes and put them on the ground, her black trousers were pulled up high, revealing a section of her calf as white as jade.

She stretched out her leg, tentatively moving her round pink toes before stepping into the mud.

It was wet and slippery, and the surface of the mud had been exposed to the sun, with a trace of warmth. After the feet were completely sunk into the bottom, it was icy cold again.

Looking at the color of the mud, I always feel that it is a bit disgusting to step on it, but after stepping on it a few times in a row, I feel inexplicably comfortable in such a hot weather.

There were bundles of twisted straw ropes on the ground. Si Ningning sat on the field stalks, stepped his feet into the mud for a while to get used to it, then grabbed a few straw ropes and walked towards the row of fallen rice.

She broke up a straw rope and spread it out, put on labor protection gloves calmly, and neatly stacked on the straw rope with the rice stalks back and forth.

At first, I only thought that the straw that had not been completely dehydrated would cut my hands, but after putting on labor protection gloves, the straw did not cut my hands, but the sharp and slender leaves were left on Si Ningning's neck, chin, and side face A series of red marks.

Her skin is white and thin, and those red spots are very obvious. In some severe places, small blood spots faintly appeared, and the beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead seeped in. It was more itchy than painful.

If you want to scratch, you still wear gloves on your hands, and besides, there is still work to be done, Si Ningning can only do the next best thing, twisting his neck from time to time, rubbing against his clothes to relieve it.

At first, I only felt a little hot, but after being exposed to the sun for a long time, Si Ningning's eyes were blurred, and his lips were itchy. Occasionally, when he licked it casually, it was full of the salty smell of sweat.

Not to mention, one time he bent down to hug the rice, and suddenly there was a "snack" sound from the rice under his hands, and then something rushed out against Si Ningning's hand, quickly plunged into the depths of the rice field and disappeared, leaving only An S-shaped crawling route on the ground.

is a snake.

Si Ningning saw it clearly, a snake with black spots on a yellow background.

Si Ningning was always calm, but in front of caterpillars, leeches, and snakes, her blood-stained face instantly turned pale.

Even though the snake had disappeared without a trace, Si Ningning's heart was beating violently uncontrollably, "Ah" and "Wow" again, and she kept backing away while shaking her hands.

The mud in the field was half dry and still very slippery. When she panicked, she suddenly lost weight and fell hard in the mud. Half of her trousers and light blue gown were stained with mud, not to mention how embarrassing she was.

There was a sigh of relief from the millet harvesters nearby, and someone laughed and joked in good faith, "What's the matter, comrade educated youth? Did you see a snake?"

"It's hot these days, and snakes like to hide in the cool corners. But don't be afraid, we don't have any poisonous snakes here, the common ones are water snakes and cauliflower snakes, and it hurts a little when bitten."
