Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 145 Green Orange Lemon
Jiang Yue slowed down rubbing her clothes, thought for a moment and said, "Si Ningning."

"Huh?" Si Ningning turned his head blankly.

"The atmosphere in the educated youth spot is a bit strange recently." Jiang Yue bit her lip, struggled a bit and continued: "Can I trust you?"

"..." Si Ningning looked back at Jiang Yue in a daze.

Believe it or not, can she judge it by nodding or shaking her head?
Jiang Yue seemed to be aware of this too, hesitated for a moment and said: "You can assure me first, you are really not a capitalist?"

"..."

Si Ningning was speechless. She couldn't figure out whether Jiang Yue really had something to tell her, or whether she was deliberately entertaining her.

"My clothes are almost done washing, if you have something to say, hurry up, or I will leave."

Jiang Yue bumped into Si Ningning's cold face.

Being labeled as capitalist in this era is not a trivial matter. Whether it is true or not, no one will be happy if people say so.

Jiang Yue knew this, she bit her lip, dragged the basin and took a step closer to Si Ningning, her expression was more or less complicated, "I'm not targeting you. It's my family..."

The sun spots on the ground flickered, and the birds chirped on the treetops and branches. Jiang Yue talked a lot. Si Ningning was impatient at first, but later calmed down unconsciously and listened carefully to Jiang Yue's narration.

Jiang Yue is probably also a person with a story.

She was born into a wealthy family, and her father and eldest brother had good-paying jobs at first.

Later, when the capital collapsed, the capitalists ran away, and before they ran away, they detained all the shit bowls to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family became the scapegoats of the capitalists. His father and elder brother were tortured in prison. In just one week, they both died in prison.

The mother went back and forth and put Jiang Yue and Jiang Yue's younger brother into the team of going to the countryside, and then lost contact.

In this way, it seems that from the beginning of the incident, everything can make sense.

Why did Jiang Yue have such fair skin and good complexion, and why did she target Si Ningning in the first place.

People in this era are generally poor, and Si Ningning has thin skin and tender flesh, and the things he brings out are all high-quality goods, which can easily make people think of capitalists.

Jiang Yue's family was persecuted by capitalists. Of course, she hated them. When she mistakenly thought that Si Ningning was a capitalist, she would make cynicism. This is not difficult to understand.

As for the reason why Jiang Yue would open up to Si Ningning about the past, Si Ningning believed that it should have something to do with what she said after experiencing Wu Yong's incident.

Those who have not experienced major incidents have their thoughts deeply ingrained with education, and it is difficult to get sublimated. Jiang Yue happened to have experienced some things, so she agreed with what Si Ningning said and supported Si Ningning.

Si Ningning felt a little emotional in his heart, more sympathy for Jiang Yue.

But during this period of getting along, Si Ningning knew that although Jiang Yue was sometimes irritable and sometimes naive, her heart was very tenacious and she didn't need others' sympathy.

After a moment of silence, Si Ningning asked, "Then what about your brother? Where is he assigned? The last time I exchanged food stamps for candy with me, was it for your brother?"

Jiang Yue nodded and said, "He's in the northwest."

northwest? !
Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised when he realized it.

northwest……

In the 70s and [-]s, one of the areas with the largest number of educated youths going to the countryside was WLMQ at the foot of the snow-capped mountains?
The living environment there is harsh, there are few forested areas, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Snowstorms are encountered every year, and the temperature will not warm up until March on average.

And the most important thing is the lack of water, and the common saline-alkali land.

And according to the documentaries he had watched before, Si Ningning vaguely remembered that the educated youths and the border soldiers over there generally lived in the "diwozi".

The so-called "diwozi" is to look for small uplifted hills on the plain, dig halfway down from the hills, and dig out the pattern of rooms under the ground, where the educated youths and border soldiers live.

Jiang Yue is only 17 years old, and her younger brother will not be older than 16 years old.

If you lived in a wealthy family from birth, and arrived in a poor area like the Northwest, whether you are still there now, it really doesn't matter...

Si Ningning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and didn't want to continue this topic.

So he turned around and asked: "Let's not talk about this, you just said that the educated youth has a strange atmosphere, how is it strange?"

Jiang Yue was silent for a while to ease her emotions, and said: "It's about Xiaoyun... We are all outsiders, so it's hard to say anything, but I'm really worried about her."

Si Ningning nodded slightly, signaling Jiang Yue to continue.

"My going to the countryside may be part of the asylum, but the general educated youth participated in the policy of going to the countryside to accept the re-education of the peasants. Although our identities are not sensitive, they are also special and cannot withstand other messy incidents. the test of..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Si Ningning interrupted Jiang Yue.

Si Ningning was almost confused by Jiang Yue's twists and turns, and couldn't grasp the point she wanted to say.

Jiang Yue trembled her lips and went straight to the point, "Educated youths have higher ideological awareness than ordinary members, and they should be more alert to themselves, and they can't mess with men and women casually!"

While talking, Jiang Yue's face froze, she swallowed her saliva and looked at Si Ningning nervously, and continued: "Xiaoyun seems to have fallen in love with Song Shuhan, I don't know how to tell her these things. I'm not good at this matter either. Mention it to others... You have a sharp tongue and a quick brain, can you help me persuade Xiaoyun?!"

Si Ningning finally understood what Jiang Yue meant after talking all the way around.

Song Xiaoyun's heart sprouted, and she fell in love with male educated youths, but there was no such thing as "free love" in this era.

Jiang Yue didn't want Song Xiaoyun to ruin her future, and she didn't know how to persuade her, so she approached her.

Jiang Yue doesn't talk to Song Xiaoyun very much recently, it seems that the two of them are having an awkward fight, but in fact she still favors Song Xiaoyun in her heart.

but……

Si Ningning's crescent eyebrows frowned, her upper teeth subconsciously bit her lower lip.

Song Xiaoyun fell in love with Song Shuhan?

Didn't he fall in love with Mo Bei?
Seeing Si Ningning not responding for a long time, Jiang Yue was a little anxious, "Si Ningning?"

"Ah? Oh!" Si Ningning came back to his senses, wrung out his clothes twice and poured out the dirty water in the basin, then poured half of the water in the bucket into the basin to soak through the clothes, "This is..."

"Jiang Yue, this matter, I know it's serious." She considered it for a while and continued: "But we have no reason and position to say it, or to criticize it."

Jiang Yue pursed her lips, frowned and looked at Si Ningning blankly and tangled.

Si Ningning sighed softly, and lowered her head to reveal the clothes in her hands, her voice was so soft that it was almost suppressed by the sound of water and bird chirping, "In other words, we've talked, is she willing to listen?"

"People are individuals with independent thinking. Sometimes they may not even listen to what their parents say. Why do you think that she will listen to what I say, or even do it?"

Jiang Yue was completely stunned.

She had never thought of this before.

She just felt that Si Ningning usually had a set of principles, and he helped the educated youths in the educated youth order solve many problems.

What Si Ningning said has a certain persuasive force and will make people believe.

However, Jiang Yue forgot the most important point.

Reasonable and convincing, the first point is that the parties must be able to listen.

Otherwise, it would be useless to say it, and maybe people will bear grudges.

Realizing this, Jiang Yue looked at Si Ningning nervously again, "I'm not..."

Her purpose is definitely not to make Si Ningning fall into injustice.

"I know, you really regard Song Xiaoyun as a friend. You were in a hurry so you didn't think so comprehensively." Si Ningning smiled lightly. After learning about Jiang Yue's past, she could almost understand Jiang Yue's psychology.

To be honest, people are not bad, and they are very loyal.

Jiang Yue pursed her lips and nodded, her already flat facial features were even more unsightly because of wrinkling her face, "Then what should I do now? What should I do?"

There is no good way to do this.

But no matter whether Song Xiaoyun is interested in Mo Bei or Song Shuhan, everyone is an educated youth from the educated youth spot, and there is basically no possibility of placing orders for work.

As long as there are other people around, there shouldn't be any major problems with Song Xiaoyun.

Si Ningning thought for a while and said, "Just wait and see."

After finishing the words, the educated youth spoke from the side of the house, and soon several male educated youths came around one after another, followed closely by Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun.

Si Ningning wrung out the water through the clean clothes, turned the basin towards the ditch and poured the water out, and got up first to walk back: "I'm done washing, you hurry up, you can take a nap after dinner."

"Um……"

There was still no need to cook or heat up meals at noon, so Si Ningning boiled two pots of hot water and prepared to cool it down for an afternoon drink, then climbed into bed and took a leisurely nap at noon.

After strolling around the pigsty in the afternoon, Si Ningning went to deliver water to the educated youths. She was afraid of encountering snakes again, so she kept Huo Lang's words in mind, and went straight to the threshing ground after returning from the field.

The three teams are surrounded by mountains and there are not many flat lands, so there is only one threshing ground.

The entire threshing field covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters. A straw pile with a height of two to three meters is piled up at the center point, and there are also many small straw piles and straw piles piled up on the edge.

A whole nearly regular circular threshing floor is silently divided into three areas, one of which has members threshing wheat.

There are still some weeds left on the remaining two areas, and they are not so smooth. Huo Lang is weeding with a hoe.

He shouldn't have been here for a short time. The shoulders and back of the beige jacket on his body were drenched with sweat. Under the rolled-up sleeves, his arms were shiny from the sun, and his tendons were bulging with strength.

Si Ningning couldn't help feeling the huge disparity in stature and strength between women and men.

After watching for a while, Si Ningning stepped forward, "Comrade Huo Lang, I'm here, what can I do?"

With a Beijing accent and a clear and crisp voice, you can tell who it is.

Huo Lang turned around, and when he saw Si Ningning, his deep peach blossom eyes glanced up and down unconsciously.

The little girl changed her clothes.

She was wearing an army green button-down gown with half sleeves on her upper body, and loose black trousers that were very common in the countryside and cities on her lower body. Compared with her previous attire, the color of this set was rather dusty.

But I can't stand the little girl's fair skin and good looks. Wearing it like this makes her contrasting face even more radiant.

Huo Lang opened and closed his thin lips, looked back and continued weeding, and at the same time, his hoarse and deep voice came into Si Ningning's ears: "There is a broom next to it, sweep the grass and pebbles together and pile them up."

"Oh!" Si Ningning said "Oh" and turned his head. Sure enough, he saw a bamboo broom leaning on the straw stack at the edge of the threshing field.

The broom made of sorghum poles is more delicate and suitable for cleaning the house. At least the broom handle is long enough to clean every corner.

Bamboo brooms are larger and rougher in appearance, but offer advantages when cleaning large areas.

One, of course, is that it has a large surface area in contact with the ground.

The second is that the broom is made of side branches of bamboo, which is harder and stronger than sorghum stalks, and its toughness is also very good.Some stones, small stones and so on can be swept aside with just a snort without much effort.

However, the broom is big, and it also has a disadvantage, that is, heavy hands.

Sweeping is faster than weeding, sweeping half a circle down, and then sweeping is the ones that Huo Lang just hoeed.

Si Ningning didn't want to make trouble behind Huo Lang, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead, put his arms around the broom in one hand, took off his straw hat and rolled up the brim of the hat with the other, and slapped it twice, "Comrade Huo Lang, are you thirsty? I'm a little thirsty." , shall I go back and bring a pot of water?"

Huo Lang didn't speak, just raised his chin to let her go.

Taking advantage of the situation, Si Ningning leaned the broom against the haystack, picked up the water bottle on the side, and walked back.

In fact, there is still some water in her military kettle, but the work is almost done for the time being, standing there is hot and stupid, so she just finds an excuse to slip away for a while, and then comes back to work later.

Si Ningning returned to the educated youth spot, poured a pot of water into the pot, and then entered the space.

The oranges given by Zhou Xiaocui have been consumed one after another, but the lemon trees planted before crossing are now bearing fruit.

I only bought a few types of fruit before, and I bought five seedlings for each type. Now the others have flourished, but the only ones that bear fruit are lemon trees.

Among the five lemon trees, the varieties seem to be different, and some of them have green skins the size of a thumb, and the skins are very thin.

Some have the same green skin, but the fruit is the size of an egg and has a thick skin.

There is another kind of yellow peel lemon.

Si Ningning each picked some, went back to the kitchen, cut them in half, and tasted the thin slices. The two large yellow and green fruits were confirmed to be lemons. Inadvertently bit the lemon peel, a bit astringent, but more bitter.

It made her rinse her mouth for a long time before she gradually recovered.

As for the thumb-sized fruit with thin green skin, Si Ningning tasted it. Although the plant is very close to the leaves of a lemon tree, it is not a lemon, but a green kumquat.

It is very common in milk tea shops and fruit tea shops in the 21st century. Even if you have never drunk it, "Kumquat Lemon" should be familiar to you.

Si Ningning first washed two lemons, cut them in half, lifted the lid of the elephant trunk pot, squeezed half of the lemon juice out of the pot, then threw the lemons in, added three spoonfuls of sugar, and poured I added a lot of mint tips, so I put the lid on and put it in the refrigerator for ice.
