Chapter 371

Before leaving, Xu Shuhua moved her chin hard towards Song Xiaoyun who was not far away, and asked Si Ningning in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, she just came to talk to me in a bad mood, I'll just enlighten her." Si Ningning replied casually.

Xu Shuhua nodded in agreement, "Yes, I heard that pregnant people have big mood swings, so you can enlighten her more, I'm not as quick-spoken as you, or I'll talk to her too."

Si Ningning gave a perfunctory "Yeah", smiled, turned around and left.

She said bluntly about Song Xiaoyun's terrible incident at the very beginning, and Song Xiaoyun didn't listen to it at the time, so the situation today has come about.

But today is different from the past, even if they wish Song Xiaoyun to live well, they can't speak too bluntly.

Because they are a husband and wife and a family, outsiders like them, it is wrong to say more, and it is also wrong to intervene.

Si Ningning reminded her as tactfully as possible just now, but as for whether Song Xiaoyun can listen to it, how much does she listen to, and what to do next?
These are things that Si Ningning can't control, and they are also things that she doesn't want to deal with, and she is too lazy to deal with them.

In the literacy class, including the meal at noon, the teacher has a two-and-a-half-hour break.

There were four classes in the morning and four classes in the afternoon. Si Ningning's throat was about to smoke from just lecturing all day long, so she couldn't make do with the break at noon.

Usually, I would go back to the educated youth spot after dinner to rest, but when Song Xiaoyun came over today, Si Ningning was actually quite afraid that Song Xiaoyun would stubbornly cling to her, so she didn't go back to the educated youth spot, instead she took the lunch box and walked to the team.

Song Xiaoyun really wanted to talk to Si Ningning again, but she probably saw Si Ningning's intentions, so she took her steps back before she took a step.

Si Ningning took this scene into his eyes from the corner of his eyes, and continued to walk along the path without stopping, but his mood became uncontrollably irritable.

She doesn't understand why Song Xiaoyun can't stand up, but as a woman, she has always felt that women under this kind of oppression and family background are always the saddest...

I hope Song Xiaoyun can grow up soon!
Realize that friends are people who might help her, and in a family, people who oppress her will only oppress her, so don't please and don't cling to that person.

Si Ningning patted his face, took a long breath, calmed down his mood a bit, and then trotted towards the courtyard of the Chen family on the other side of the bamboo forest beside the production team.

The canteen of the literacy class was set up for the children of several other production teams who couldn’t go home. The children in this team still ate at home in the morning, afternoon and evening. Usually there was smoke from the chimney of Chen’s family at this time, but today they walked into the courtyard. It was deserted.

Si Ningning thought that there was no one in the house, so he stood in the courtyard for a while and was about to leave when He Gu poked his head out from the room suddenly, "Si Ningning! Why don't you come in?"

He Gu's brows were furrowed, his watery lips were pouted, and he looked at Si Ningning resentfully.

Si Ningning laughed, turned around and took two steps to support his little head and entered the room together, "I thought there was no one at home, why is it so deserted today?"

In the main room, Sanae's small figure was writing on the edge of the table. When she saw Si Ningning, she called out "Sister Ning", and then added an explanation: "Brother is busy today, so he didn't cook."

"Then why don't you two come to me?"

Si Ningning put down the lunch box. Originally, he wanted the two puppies to eat first, but when he thought about the bland taste of steamed potatoes, they probably didn't like it too much, so he rolled up his sleeves and planned to go to the kitchen to make them. Come to the sound of "russling".

Si Ningning poked his head out to look, and said, "I still think you're not at home, why don't you cook at home?"

Huo Lang was bowing down and digging wood by the well, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head, put down his things and clapped his hands, and walked straight towards Si Ningning, "You're here, have you eaten yet?"

"I ordered a meal and came to eat. How about you? I just asked you a question!"

"I bought a pair of breeding rabbits from Uncle Hong Bing, and I thought about planing some solid material to make a regular cage, so that the rabbits can move around freely. Isn't it because you don't cook, isn't it a long time at noon? The same goes for doing it later.”

Si Ningning glanced at the backyard, and sure enough, he saw the rabbit huddled in a narrow bamboo cage under the shade of a tree.

She walked slowly back to the main room with Huo Lang, during which time she asked curiously: "Before the captain said that rabbits are like chickens, and a household can only raise three. How did you think of raising rabbits? The breeding rabbits you also bought will be grown in one lifetime in the future." What about the nest?"

"I count as two households. I can raise six of them. I will eat them when they are born. The purpose of raising them is to eat." Huo Lang glanced at Si Ningning, then turned to look at Hegu and Sanmiao, "We have to make up for it." , grow some meat."

After all, he quickly opened Si Ningning's lunch box on the table and saw two potatoes without any oil or water inside. He lowered his brows and turned to ask Si Ningning, "Is this for lunch?"

"...Isn't that convenient? It's not easy to cook meals for so many people in the cafeteria. You can just make it and eat it. How can it be the same as at home, where you have everything?"

Huo Lang sort of understood how Si Ningning's small chin, which he had managed to raise with great difficulty, returned to its point in a short period of time.

Picking up a potato, stuffing it into the resistance and holding it in his mouth, Huo Lang divided the other potato into two, before Si Ningning stretched out his hand to snatch it.

The two little ones gave an obedient "oh" and began to eat the potatoes in small bites.

Si Ningning stomped beside him, "What are you doing!"

Without explaining to her, Huo Lang bowed and carried the cereal on his shoulders towards the kitchen, "The two of them complained of hunger when they came back, let them rest up first, and then I will do other things."

Putting down the cereal, pushing his small head to the stove to start a fire, Huo Lang scooped up a ladle of water to wash his hands clean, then took the wooden tub for washing vegetables, uncovered the rice jar, and scooped the flour together. .

He's not very good at cooking, but under Si Ningning's influence and training, he now makes pimple soup very well, so he planned to make gnocchi at noon.

Si Ningning was angry and funny, and understood that Huo Lang was silently protesting to her that the food she ate was not nutritious.

Although he was protesting, the work at hand was done neatly, just to let her and them eat better.

There were some droopy green vegetables under the table legs, Si Ningning helped choose the vegetables, and occasionally stretched his neck to chat with Huo Lang:
"Why are you still angry?"

"Oh, look at you... I don't pay attention to it, why are you so hypocritical? So many people can't eat enough, can we still have rice and fine noodles every meal? It's fine if we can fill our stomachs."

"Tsk—" Huo Lang stopped shaking his gnocchi, and looked at Si Ningning stubbornly like a donkey, "You are you, and others are others, so what do you care about others? It's not like we don't have that condition. "

"Besides, why don't you eat every day? You only have these two potatoes at noon, so what do you eat in the morning? Potatoes too?"

"Uh--"

Si Ningning stuttered and shook his head.

Huo Lang asked suspiciously, "Then what are you eating?"

The work of the literacy class is not light, and Si Ningning's time is fully occupied, and he has no spare time to cook. If he doesn't come to eat, he can only eat in the cafeteria of the literacy class.

She also said that the cafeteria has to cook meals for so many people, so it's good if they can be cooked, and they can't make any tricks, so what good can she eat?
Si Ningning gave a dry laugh, bowed his head to pick the vegetable roots, his voice was a few decibels weaker, "The steamed sweet potatoes I ate..."

"sweet potato."

Huo Lang almost fainted from anger, glared at her, turned around and continued to shake the gnocchi, and stopped talking.

Si Ningning pursed her lips and stopped talking.

She couldn't spare time to do it, so when she went to the cafeteria to eat, she asked Xu Shuhua to help her out, and everyone ate like that, so she had to eat if she wasn't used to it, how could she be picky?
If you come here to eat, she is only engaged to Huo Lang, not married yet, and the old sisters-in-law in the team will discuss a few words in the open and in the dark.

Si Ningning didn't care about these things, but she was afraid that it would affect San Miao and He Gu.

She did a few unrealistic things, and her status in the team was rather delicate, and the sister-in-laws didn't dare to talk about her, but they would talk about Sanae and Hegu.

Si Ningning had listened to it several times before, saying that Sanmiao and Hegu had excellent grades because she, a sister-in-law-to-be, taught privately in private classes.

Si Ningning was actually very angry when he rejected the children's own efforts with a few words, and thought about confronting the theory, but after calming down and thinking about it for a while, he changed the way of handling it.

She is a teacher, and she is indeed Sanae's sister-in-law-to-be. No matter what she does, as long as there is such a subtle relationship, outsiders can't stop daydreaming.

If you say too much and make mistakes, the explanation will become a cover-up instead. Si Ningning chose to deal with it coldly and restrain himself, reducing the number of times he went to Chen's house.

If she hadn't been afraid of being entangled by Song Xiaoyun today, she would not have chosen to come here today.

Huo Lang also competed with her because of this.

The mood that had just improved suddenly turned bad again, Si Ningning pinched off two vegetable roots and suddenly felt a little annoyed.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she was, she put down the green vegetables in her hand, exhaled from her nose in displeasure, and just about to get up and say go back to rest, before she could say anything, Huo Lang turned around.

There was no stubborn or angry expression on the handsome face, but a face full of helplessness and doting. He coaxed and made a request:

"Come here to eat later."

People are often like this, when no one is coaxing, the anger will pass, but if someone is coaxing, the temper will only get worse.

Si Ningning was like this, her face was upset, she pouted like a child and turned her face away, "I don't."

"Then I'll send it to you."

Si Ningning turned back and kicked Huo Lang, "I don't want you to send me."

"Okay, then I will drag my aunt to send it to you."

Huo Lang grinned like a fool, don't mention the slaps, if He Gu wasn't by his side, Si Ningning would have gone up and scratched him.

Youyuan glared at Huo Lang, Si Ningning was made to lose his temper, Huo Lang over there had already shaken the gnocchi, cleaned up and poured water into the pot, and said at the same time: "Have you chosen the dishes? It will be ready in a while Pot."

Si Ningning pouted, sat down again and continued to choose dishes, "It's done, it's done!"

The three teams ushered in another year of rushing for the busy farming season. Si Ningning and Jiang Yue had relatively full schedules and were only responsible for the work of the literacy class.

Like Xu Shuhua, her workload is actually very heavy, but in order to survive, or to stabilize her living conditions, she would go to the warehouse to pick up a sickle and cut rice with her after cleaning up the work in the cafeteria every afternoon.

In addition to this, after returning to the educated youth point to wash up at night, before everyone blows the lamps to go to sleep, she also rubs some straw ropes under the dim light, and after two or three days, she will go to the team to exchange work points.

Everyone knows the right amount for everything, but everyone's situation is different, Si Ningning doesn't know how to persuade her, she has never experienced Xu Shuhua's situation, and feels that everything is taken for granted, so she doesn't say anything.

It's just that every night when Xu Shuhua was busy, she always used an excuse to prepare for lessons and lit the kerosene lamp for a longer time.

Jiang Yue followed suit, chatting and preparing lessons together. Two small tables were pushed together, and a kerosene lamp was placed on the left and right sides of the table, making the whole room much brighter than usual.

Xu Shuhua, who sat at the door and rubbed the straw rope, could get a little bit of light.

Even if the help is silent, sometimes people will notice it.

The girls' feelings were mutual, they took care of Xu Shuhua, and Xu Shuhua also gave back to them in some trivial things.

For example, Si Ningning is always particular, but sometimes she really can't take care of it when she is busy, so Xu Shuhua can clean up the messy room.

Besides, Jiang Yue, she has nothing else to worry about, but she is annoyed that mosquitoes always bite her, so when cooking in the cafeteria, Xu Shuhua will take some wormwood to dry in the spare time, and rub out all the carbon in the way Si Ningning handed in in previous years. Ball mosquito coils, after drying, go back to the educated youth to light them at night.

Not as effective as killing mosquitoes, but at least able to repel most of them, so it is still useful.

This is something for the educated youth. There are also some arrangements for the literacy class. For example, when school is over in the afternoon and the sky is still bright, they don’t need to be ordered by others. Those children from farming families know the special nature of this period. They organized themselves one after another, and those with strong strength and endurance went down to the ground to hold the millet and tie it up.

Those with little strength, like some girls, followed behind the crowd to pick up the ears of rice that fell from the fields.

After a month of busy work, the children were sunburned like loaches, Zhao Hongbing noticed it, and similarly, Si Ningning and Jiang Yue's weight loss, Zhao Hongbing also noticed.

Maybe it was to reward the children, or maybe it was because of the pressure of the two teachers, the cafeteria of the literacy class ushered in the first extra meal.

Zhao Hongbing came over with two killed rabbits, asked Xu Shuhua to cook for lunch together, and asked the children in the literacy class to let the children of the team who usually go home to eat also eat in the cafeteria that day.

Not to mention the two teachers, Si Ningning and Jiang Yue, of course they stayed to eat together.

Normally, Xu Shuhua didn't have much contact with meat, so she couldn't make up her mind what to do, so she asked Si Ningning.

Si Ningning verbally narrated a simple method to her. In the end, potatoes and rabbit meat were cooked together. In addition to the necessary seasonings such as onion, ginger and garlic, a little dried chili was added to enhance the flavor, and two large pots were burned.
