Chapter 169 Lao Si, Lao Si, Teacher
"Uh...no, no!" He Gu turned his head to avoid Si Ningning, "Si Ningning, don't do it, I'm going to be angry!"

He Gu said harsh words, Si Ningning had already noticed the clue, and put his fist to his lips and laughed out loud.

He Gu covered his mouth and glared at Si Ningning as if facing a formidable enemy, "Don't laugh!"

"Okay, okay, I don't laugh." Si Ningning held back his laugh, got up and took He Gu to the production team, not forgetting to give He Gu a smooth hair, "This is only temporary, the new teeth will soon It’s nothing to be ashamed of growing up.”

Seven or eight-year-old children are in the period of changing teeth.

What He Gu lost were two front teeth, but if you talk about the most obvious places, you can see them as long as you open your mouth.

It's no wonder that he was slurring his speech just now, and it turned out that his utterance was leaking.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning frowned, and couldn't help but smile again.

This time, He Gu is not vicious Si Ningning, so she is not allowed to laugh, "Si Ningning, can I really grow teeth?"

"It moved two days ago. I, I was a little scared, so I didn't tell my elder brother. When I ate crispy rice last night, two teeth fell out at once, and there was a lot of blood. It hurts." He Gu's little hand Holding the corner of Si Ningning's clothes, she was very panicked.

"This is the period of changing teeth, which is normal and will grow out."

"When the new teeth grow out, it means that Xiaohegu will become a little adult, and he will be stronger in the future. He can't cry at will, and he can't lie and deceive people, you know?"

The Hegu Chick pecked at the rice and nodded.

It would be good if the teeth could grow back. He thought that he would have to face the "door opening" in the future, so he didn't fall asleep last night.

Thinking about it, He Gu's jaw tightened, he opened his mouth and let out a big yawn.

Si Ningning didn't know that he didn't sleep well last night, so he only occasionally asked a few words to pay attention to the health of his mouth and teeth while walking:
"When teeth grow, they will itch a little. Don't touch them with your tongue, or the teeth will grow crooked, you know?"

"……Um."

"Not only do you need to brush your teeth when you get up in the morning, but you also need to brush your teeth when you go to bed at night...don't eat after brushing your teeth, or if it takes a long time, your gums will be corroded, and you will have toothaches in the future, remember?"

"Hmm..." He Gu nodded, and looked up at Si Ningning sideways.

Under the tree-lined path, the sun was dappled. In He Gu's line of sight, Si Ningning's jaw was white, and the smile on her face could be vaguely seen.

very gentle smile...

If Si Ningning was his sister, she must be the most gentle sister in the world.

The gentlest sister...

He Gu was thinking, for some reason, the scene of Sanya's mother calling her to eat suddenly flashed in his mind, he didn't notice his feet for a while, and was stumbled by the fallen branches on the ground.

Fortunately, Si Ningning grabbed He Gu's arm in time to avoid He Gu's fall.

"What are you thinking about?" Si Ningning lowered his head, frowned slightly, and scolded softly, "Watch the road when you walk."

As he said that, he was going to lead He Gu to continue walking.

But He Gu grabbed Si Ningning's clothes and refused to move forward.

Before Si Ningning turned around to ask, He Gu looked up at her seriously, and asked first, "Si Ningning, can you hug me like yesterday?"

Si Ningning didn't think too much about it. He only considered that He Gu's emotions were more sensitive, thinking that he was conflicted and afraid because of changing his teeth, so he didn't hesitate immediately, bowed and hugged He Gu's small and thin body, patted his back and said: " There is nothing to be afraid of, you can see new teeth in three to five days, and they will grow back in half a month. Does Xiaohegu have the confidence to persist for half a month?"

He Gu buried his face in Si Ningning's shoulder and took a deep breath.

There was a very warm and gentle aura on Si Ningning's body, as well as a very light but pleasant fragrance. For a moment, He Gu felt that there was a vacancy in his heart, as if it was completely filled at this moment.

He seemed to feel the feeling of having a mother.

very nice.

He Gu's pale lips raised a big arc, "I have confidence."

He straightened up from Si Ningning's arms, and looked at Si Ningning seriously with his dark eyes, "Si Ningning, I will never cry again, I am a man."

I want to protect you.He Gu silently added in his heart.

"Okay, little man, remember to eat well at noon today." Si Ningning smiled, got up and walked in front.

He Gu followed behind, shouting while running, "I must eat a big bowl, and I will grow as strong as big brother!"

There were a lot of children on the threshing ground, some of them were arranged to catch sparrows, and some of them were from what Si Ningning said before, and they were willing to teach the children how to read in their spare time.

The aunt in the team knew that she would go to the threshing ground to raise millet after finishing her work in the pig pen, so she would definitely not stay in the pig pen for long, so she let the children come to the threshing ground first.

Uncles and aunts are busy, a group of radishes are making noise under the big sun Ula Ula, their throats are almost hoarse, and they are not afraid of the heat at all.

Si Ningning beckoned them to play under the shade of the trees, and kept a little grain from the threshing floor, and chased after the sparrows flew over, and then encouraged He Gu to stay and play with everyone.

He Gu resisted a little, but remembering Si Ningning's teaching before, he stayed even though he was reluctant.

The children are noisy, and they are playing serious games, or they are not even considered "games", that is, you chase me, I chase you, and when you are about to be overtaken, you climb up the haystack, and wrestling is also falling on the straw. Above, a little bit of pain is ignored.

However, it is this seemingly nonsensical gameplay that can make them "haha" laugh until their throats dry until they cough and retch.

Si Ningning stood on the edge and watched for a while, seeing that He Gu was gradually approaching the other children under the guidance of San Miao, she let go of her slightly suspended heart, turned around and went to the warehouse to get rice bran, and then went to feed the pigs.

The weather is very hot, and the pigsty is cleaned well, but there are still some smells left.

Si Ningning mixed the pig food, took advantage of the time when the pigs were eating, went into the pigsty, entered the space in a flash, and came out again, holding a large bucket full of water in his hand, took the broom head and was about to clean up. After cleaning up, the sound of methodical footsteps suddenly came from the alley outside.

Si Ningning looked up, and was standing outside the pigsty, the man staring at her with burning eyes.

Si Ningning's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and she thought to herself that it's a good thing that she came out immediately after entering the space. If her hands and feet were slower, she might really be caught on the spot.

But thinking about it, for some reason, Si Ningning was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to be alone with Huo Lang all of a sudden.

"What's the matter?" Si Ningning calmed down and asked two questions, "Aren't you going to work?"

"Guess you should be here at this time, so come and have a look." Huo Lang raised his chin, motioning for Si Ningning to come out.

Originally he stretched out his hand to help, but when he thought of something, Huo Lang stretched it halfway and took it back, "I have something to tell you."

Si Ningning thought it was something important, worried that the pig would knock over the bucket, so she carried the bucket to the wall before turning over and getting out of the pigsty.

Si Ningning patted the unnecessary dust on his sleeves, looked at Huo Lang and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I took over the task temporarily. I have to go to the commune to get the approval slip. I should go to the county after that. Didn't you write a letter to my family first? The county can send telegrams and make phone calls."

As Huo Lang said, he raised his long legs and stepped forward, stepping into the pigsty in front of Si Ningning, taking over the work she hadn't had time to do just now.

"Ah..." Si Ningning stretched out her hand and said "Ah", without stopping her at all, seeing that Huo Lang was already bent over and busy with work, she didn't say any more.

Just thinking of going to the county that Huo Lang mentioned just now, Si Ningning was a little moved.

But if Si Ningning shook his head, "Thank you, Comrade Huo Lang. But I'm afraid it won't work this time... The production team is busy everywhere, so it's hard to find time to go out."

She wanted to go, but how could she ask Zhao Hongbing to ask for leave at this time?
Even if he had the nerve to ask, Zhao Hongbing would definitely not agree.

Si Ningning simply dismissed the idea, but Huo Lang's confident voice came at this moment:

"If you want to go, you can go."

"I'll take care of the rest."

Si Ningning was stunned, lying on the edge of the pigsty and looking at Huo Lang, "Why are you so nice to me?"

The entire pigsty was silent for a moment, only the chirping of birds and the sound of a few pigs feeding troughs could be heard.

Huo Lang was silent, and asked back: "You helped me, I will help you, what's so strange about that?"

Si Ningning put his fist to his lips and chuckled, his eyes swept over the floor of the pigsty, "Then this? Is it because I helped you?"

"If you understand it that way, there's nothing wrong with it." Huo Lang washed the pigsty once, and raised his jaw to let Si Ningning stand aside, "The water is gone, I'll fetch water."

Si Ningning nodded, took two steps back and looked at Huo Lang with a smile on his deer eyes, and said, "Then, please leave me to go to the county?"

"Good to say."

Huo Lang stepped out of the pigsty, picked up the bucket and walked towards the back of the pigsty.

Si Ningning watched him walk away, shook his head with a smile, and poured two ladles of swill into the trough.

The two talked and laughed, but they didn't know that outside the alley not far from the pigsty, there was a tall man holding a gun with his back tightly against the wall of the alley, standing with his back to the two of them.

Mo Bei has never been able to find a chance to talk to Si Ningning, even if there is time, he wants to talk to Si Ningning when he comes to the pigsty, but now...

Mo Bei lowered his eyes, his slender fingers clasped the handle tightly.

It seems that nothing needs to be said.

because……

His guess was right.

Does he like Si Ningning?
maybe.

But from this moment on, no.

Mo Bei's jawline was tense, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were cold. He picked up the gun and left resolutely.

With Huo Lang's help, the work on the pigsty was quickly finished. The two probably made an appointment to go to the county, and Si Ningning was going to the threshing ground.

Before leaving, Huo Lang grabbed her braids again, "The bucket is right here, I'll come and help you tidy it up when I have time."

Since he was in a good mood, Si Ningning just braided his braids and was not angry.

As for Huo Lang's proposal, Si Ningning did not refute it either. She subconsciously thought that Huo Lang helped her just like she helped He Gu.

When He Gu recovers almost in the future, this relationship will naturally end.

After leaving the pigsty, Si Ningning went to the threshing ground.

Just like the conversation between her uncles and aunts when she left the threshing ground yesterday, Yang Guzi's job had already been taken over.

Si Ningning stepped forward, but before he could speak, the uncle who was busy raising the millet waved his hand and said, "Go, Si Zhiqing, you'd better turn over the straw, I will do the work of raising the millet."

Si Ningning frowned blankly, a little confused.

Another sister-in-law at the side persuaded: "Yes, educated youth Si, we lesbians have limited strength, and we can get twice the result with half the effort. If you are busy, you will not be able to keep up with the progress even if you are tired!"

This made a lot of sense, Si Ningning was afraid that she would delay everyone's progress because of her alone, so she had no choice but to give up.

In fact, Si Ningning could also see that this was everyone's concern for her, so before walking away, he sincerely thanked the uncle who took over from Yang Guzi: "Uncle, thank you then."

"Ham, what is this?" The uncle smiled, waved his hands and continued to work.

Si Ningning pulled out the wooden branch stuck on the stack of straw to help turn over the straw.

In the morning, the rice is covered with the threshing floor, and after being rolled back and forth by the oxen and the stone rollers, most of the grains have been detached. In order to prevent residues on the straw, the straw must be turned over, and the oxen and the stone rollers will grind again. It takes two times to get them together and pile them aside.

This job is basically not difficult, but the dust is a little bit bigger, and it needs to be exposed to the sun.

Si Ningning lowered his head and was busy, his movements changed from clumsy to nimble, and he basically forgot about the noisy children around him.

Until the aunt next to her reminded her: "Si Zhiqing, Si Zhiqing? What do those dolls call you?!"

"Ah? Oh!" Si Ningning came back to her senses, and a few bald men in sacks stood beside her and looked at her, shouting, "Old Si Laosi, my mother said you can teach us to read, Is it true? So when do we start?"

At first, Si Ningning thought that the group of children called her "Lao Si", but after realizing the accent of the local dialect, she realized that the group of children were calling her "Teacher".

Si Ningning was at a loss for words for a moment, and his face turned red.

To be honest, this "teacher" made her feel embarrassed.

But looking at the expectant and eager eyes of the little radishheads, Si Ningning thought for a while and said, "I don't have much time to teach everyone how to read, but if you want, I can teach you other things first."

"Yes! We will!"

They didn't know what Si Ningning was going to teach, the little carrot heads replied in unison.

Some of these children came here out of their own curiosity about reading and writing, and some of them came here because their parents said that if a person wants to have a great future, he must read and write.

A group of children stood together and said that the trouble was really trouble, but besides the trouble, there was an inexplicable sense of order.

He Gu was squatting in the shade, and when he saw everyone booing, he couldn't help but move over.

Si Ningning saw everything in his eyes, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I know everyone's wishes. Go sit under the shade of a tree for a while, I have to think about it first."

After sending away a group of little radish heads, Si Ningning turned his head to think while cutting the grass.

It is definitely not feasible to teach literacy now.

First, there is no time, and second, there is no such condition.
