Chapter 189 Why Do You Trust Him, Not Me?

After working for so long, the sky has also darkened, and it is estimated that it is almost time for work to end. After Si Ningning plans to move the pots by the well into the house, he will start making dinner.

Huo Lang looked at the sky and was about to take He Gu and the others home. It could be seen that Si Ningning had a hard time moving back and forth by himself.

The time for the real busy farming in midsummer has passed, so the educated youths get off work a little earlier than usual.

Mo Bei came back from the production team, and as soon as he walked to the side of the educated youth's house, he bumped into Si Ningning and Huo Lang walking back from the well.

Si Ningning's sleeves were rolled up high, her slender and white arms were trembling, and she was holding a black-gray clay pot that was still dripping.

Huo Lang followed behind her, the tall and strong man was holding a back basket in his hand, the whole back basket was filled with unknown flower branches, the pure white with light green color was very bright and fresh, but it was also very eye-catching.

Mo Bei paused, his eyes fixed on the basket on his back, and what Li Lingyuan had said suddenly rang through his ears:

——Educated Youth Si likes flowers, if you send flowers, you must be able to win the favor of Educated Young Si.

Mo Bei tightened his hands unconsciously, his eyes shifted from Hua to Huo Lang, his expression was inexplicably cold.

He keeps saying that he has no interest in Si Ningning, and that he will keep a distance from Si Ningning. Is this keeping distance?
Mo Bei only felt a breath in his heart, and his unfriendly eyes shifted from Huo Lang to Si Ningning, but when he met those clear and bright eyes, Mo Bei felt both depressed and inexplicably aggrieved.

He really wanted to question Si Ningning:

Why do you trust Holland and not him?

That man's purpose is so obvious, can't you see it?
Where have all your cleverness, your ingenuity gone?

silly woman.

"Are you back? Let's take a break first, and we'll make dinner right away." Si Ningning and Mo Bei looked at each other, and seeing his impatient expression, he greeted him politely, and then turned his head to look at Huo Bei Lang, "Just put it at the door for me, it's getting late, you take Sanae and Hegu back, and let them go to bed early at night."

"it is good."

Huo Lang nodded in response, and followed Si Ningning towards the gate, but when passing by Mo Bei, Huo Lang nodded friendly.

Men understand men's thoughts best. Huo Lang knows what Mo Bei said before, including the way he looks at Si Ningning now.

Therefore, whether Mo Bei ignores or is hostile, Huo Lang can understand.

He doesn't take it lightly, but he doesn't take it seriously either.

"Striving to be jealous" is not something he would do at his age. Compared to these, he is more willing to respect Si Ningning's ideas.

After Huo Lang left with his younger siblings, Si Ningning went into the house to cook, and Mo Bei also went back to the male educated youth's room in the middle of the gap.
The tall, fair and long man stood by the window, Mo Bei's expression was gloomy, he clenched his fist several times and then released it, and finally, as if he gave up struggling, he lifted the kettle from his waist, unscrewed the lid and tilted it down twice towards his palm.

A few small yellow flowers with clear water drops slipped into the palm of the hand...

It's a dandelion.

When it was still in the flower state, its words were "cheerful".

And after growing into a fluffy flower ball, its words have another meaning...

Just like the changeable thoughts of young people, they clearly ordered themselves not to like it, but when they saw it, their hearts would still move and their eyes would still follow...

He despises Huo Lang's insincere words and despicable behavior, and he keeps his distance while sending flowers to please him, but how can he get better?

Jianmei struggled and frowned, Mo Bei finally sighed lightly, and pinned the few small flowers that had no chance to be sent out in the bamboo potted mint on the window sill.

Among his peers, Mo Bei may be a little mature, but in front of Huo Lang, it is easy to see the strengths and weaknesses of a young man in him.

It may be high-spirited, but there are also places where it is immature and impatient.

For example, today, Huo Lang's words and deeds were obviously inconsistent with the previous negotiations. Mo Bei believed that Huo Lang's motives were not pure, but because of the suffocation in his heart, he chose to ignore and watch.

He even felt that Si Ningning didn't want to listen to what he said, so he had to wait for Si Ningning to suffer and reflect on his long memory.

Was Mo Bei's approach wrong?

No.

But Mo Bei would not have thought that there was a misunderstanding mixed in.

A few flowers suddenly appeared in the small green potted plants, not to mention how eye-catching. Li Lingyuan and Song Shuhan came back later and saw them as soon as they entered the room, "Boss Mo, where did you get the flowers?"

"..." Mo Bei frowned slightly, and walked to the other side to collect the messy books on the bed, "I grew it myself."

"Ah? Oh..."

Li Lingyuan didn't know much about mint either. If it wasn't for Si Ningning's science popularization before, he wouldn't have known about mint at all, so he believed what Mo Bei said.

"I came back today and heard the news that we can take two days off after we have been busy for the past two days. What are your plans?" Song Shuhan said.

"Really?" Li Lingyuan looked excited, with one hand on his hips and the other holding the hemp rope to hang the towel, thought for a while and said happily: "Then I must go back to the county, I want to send a letter to my old lady, and report to her. heroic deed!"

Song Shuhan pushed his glasses and laughed at him, "Come on, you, plowing a field can be dragged and rolled in the mud by cows, is that a heroic deed?"

"Go, go, go! Why do you introduce people? You only pick on people's shortcomings and don't like to talk to you." Li Lingyuan glared at Song Shuhan several times in displeasure, and then turned his gaze to Mo Bei who had been silent for a while, "Boss Mo , what is your arrangement?"

Mo Bei pondered for a while, then replied: "Let's see and talk."

"If it's really a holiday, I will definitely go to the town."

He also needs to send a letter to Beijing, and he still has some things to buy.

The male educated youth chattered in a low voice in the room, and the female educated youth next door suddenly burst into joyful laughter:
"Where did it come from?"

"so much!"

"My God, this is too rich!"

Li Lingyuan's bushy eyebrows twisted into caterpillars, he lay on the window sill and poked his head out, "What's the matter? How lively are we?"

"Go and have a look and you'll know?" Song Shuhan said, he had already stood up and walked out, "Anyway, it's time for dinner in a while. I'll go first, you two follow!"

Li Lingyuan waved his hand, turned to ask what Mo Bei meant, "Boss Mo?"

"You go first, I will come later."

"Okay."

Song Shuhan and Li Lingyuan first went to the main room next to the female educated youths, and as soon as they entered the room, they saw the unstoppable smiles on the faces of the female educated youths.

Li Lingyuan stepped forward to join in the fun, "What's the matter? What's the matter? Why is it so lively? Tell me too!"

Jiang Yue quickly pushed the wooden basin at the corner of the table to the center, "Take a look, what is this?"

"My mother? Jie, where did you get the meat?" Li Lingyuan's eyes widened.

There is a large piece of meat in the wooden basin, weighing at least three or four catties!

Xu Shuhua explained with a smile, "On the way back, I caught up with Comrade Huo Lang walking this way, saying that someone else gave us some, some of it was for He Gu and the others to cook, and the rest was for us..."

"Ha... It's really embarrassing to say it, Ning Ning has always been the one who takes care of He Gu and the others, we are really honored by Ning Ning!" Xu Shuhua said, cupping her face in embarrassment, "This meat, I think I'll leave it to Ningning to distribute it!"

Si Ningning didn't speak. After Song Xiaoyun and the other two male educated youths agreed, she explained a few words in passing: "I heard that Comrade Huo Lang helped other communes kill wild boars. The meat should be It was sent here as a thank you."

This situation is also speculated by Si Ningning from the wild boar hunting incident that Huo Lang talked about last time. Whether this is the case or not, Si Ningning is not sure.

But the meat was collected, and didn't you listen to Huo Lang's words?

Part of it was food for Sanmiao and He Gu, and the other part was for the educated youth. Probably there was also a concern that He Gu and the others would disturb the educated youth.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning said: "Although I usually take He Gu and San Miao, it should disturb everyone. Since the meat is accepted, let's distribute it reasonably."

"However, everyone knows that meat is expensive. Let's cut some leftovers, or cut a small piece of meat to stain it. Don't be too much... It was a good intention. Don't look back and let people think that we have never seen the world. .”

"I think it works. It's a good idea. I support Si Zhiqing!"

"I support it too!"

The flesh appeared suddenly, and the educated youths were actually embarrassed. Usually, they didn't help Si Ningning with the baby, but when it came to the benefits, everyone was able to calm down...

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I really want to say no to eating, let Si Ningning, a person who has really done the work, eat it by himself, but it's meat!
Hun Xing is so rare, some of the educated youths have good conditions, and occasionally they can go to the town to have a tooth-beating festival, but the problem is that the farming has been busy some time ago, so there is no chance to go to the town at all.

Now that such a big piece of meat is in front of my eyes, my mouth is drooling just looking at it, and I can't even say the words of rejection!

Si Ningning saw them all staring at the meat in the pot like hungry wolves, the corners of their mouths twitched twice, their eyebrows frowned and they suggested tentatively: "There are still a few peppers left in the educated youth order, then I will cut them off today." Next a small piece of meat, fried to eat?"

The people who were around the table staring at the meat just now all looked at Si Ningning, and nodded like a good baby: "Okay!"

"Strong, strong support!!!"

Si Ningning sighed with drooping eyebrows, shook his head helplessly, picked up the wooden basin and walked out the door, "Help me get the kitchen knife."

"okay!"

Si Ningning cut off a two-finger-wide piece of meat from the large piece of meat, filled it with water to soak it, and used hemp rope to hang the remaining meat on a hook on the kitchen beam.

Of course, during this period, Si Ningning was only responsible for the piece of meat in the pool, and other things were done by other people.

Maybe it's because of this almost free meat, maybe it's really embarrassing, so I want to show it from other places, so everyone is very active.

Si Ningning was funny and helpless, but when she thought of the chain problems reflected in this scene, she couldn't laugh anymore, so she simply lowered her head and concentrated on handling the pork

Wild pork has a strong fishy smell, not only that, but also a strong smell of mutton.

Si Ningning washed it with clean water, scrubbed it twice with salt, and then carried it to the kitchen. Because Xu Shuhua and others were by his side, Si Ningning couldn't get the seasoning from the space, so he grabbed it in the air. Take a small handful of prickly ash and mash it with a knife handle, add soy sauce and salt, spread it on the meat, and knead it repeatedly.

After about three to five minutes, Si Ningning brought the sea bowl, put the meat in it, and let it marinate.

During the break, she picked up a few green peppers from the floor under the table, washed them and cut them into small pieces.

Jiang Yue leaned on the table and sighed, "No wonder you cook delicious food. When I was at home, my mother would cook the meat and then start cutting it, and then fry it directly... Now let's see you? Just cooking a piece of meat There are so many ways."

Si Ningning raised his head and winked at her, "Domestic pigs definitely don't need to be so troublesome, but this is a wild boar, you haven't smelled it before? How can you eat such a strong fishy smell?"

"White meat, not to mention the fishy smell, even if there is a lump of pig food on it, I can eat it after washing." Jiang Yue said solemnly, and then said after a while, "But it has to be cooked, not raw. I can't."

"It's disgusting!" Si Ningning was a little speechless by Jiang Yue's words, and directly elbowed Jiang Yue aside, "Get up, you, cover my light completely!"

Jiang Yue leaned over to the mouth of the stove, and laughed and laughed against Xu Shuhua, "Now I'm not as busy as before, so the arrangement of cooking and tidying up will be the same as before? If I get any more delicious food, such as meat Lah, etc., can Ning Ning help with it again?"

Si Ningning nodded, "Sure, I can do it."

Si Ningning doesn't think that cooking is such a difficult thing, and Xu Shuhua's usual workload is indeed much heavier than hers. If she always shows a "leisure" side, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is very likely that she will be over time. Cause internal coordination problems.

One more thing is worse than one less thing, and if there is any situation, you can coordinate with Xu Shuhua and the others by saying hello, without affecting the individual, so Si Ningning feels that it doesn't matter.

Anyway, life, isn't it?

If you don't suffer a big loss, there is nothing to worry about trivial matters.

Who is busy?
You do what is convenient for me, and I do what is convenient for you, and mutual help is over.

Half an hour later, a plate of steaming fried pork with green peppers was brought to the table. Due to the addition of soy sauce, the overall color of the dish was darker. With the lard boiled from the corner of the pig skin, it was oily and shiny. Bright, looks more appetizing.

Afterwards, Si Ningning went to the kitchen to carry his share of sorghum rice, and when he came out of the kitchen, Xu Shuhua and the others waved their hands like flowers, "Come on, Ningning sit here!"

"You can sit anywhere, eat quickly!" Si Ningning smiled, and sat on the edge of the bench next to Jiang Yue.

As she finished speaking, there were a total of seven pairs of chopsticks on the dining table, and five pairs of them were stretched towards the plate of meat. The speed was so fast that Si Ningning secretly clicked his tongue.

It's just surprising that everyone didn't eat by themselves, but Qi Qi handed the first piece of meat to Si Ningning.

The five pairs of chopsticks collided in mid-air, not only Si Ningning was stunned, but also each other.
