Chapter 140 Fireworks

Si Ningning waved her hands quickly, "Auntie, I can't eat anymore. I really can't eat anymore this time."

Si Ningning felt embarrassed.

Chen Lianmi valued her so much that she would send her care about seasonal vegetables from time to time. But as the number of visits increased, why did this care look more and more like it was just for her?

Although the small head is given to her and the big head is given to everyone, others do not have this "only share" of the small head.

"Take it even if you can't eat it. You're such a good girl, why do you have a cat's belly (describing a small appetite)." Chen Lianmi stuffed the tomatoes into Si Ningning's arms, "I brought the things, and this is from my aunt.

My son gave it to you. Others have their own share. Who else can’t gossip?"

Chen Lianmi pretended to glare, but Si Ningning had no choice but to accept it.

There were vague conversations coming from the rooms on both sides one after another. It was estimated that work was about to start. Chen Lianmi asked Si Ningning to get something to pack tomatoes and lotus roots, and then stood in front of the door and chatted for a few more words before heading home.

Si Ningning put his two tomatoes into his pocket and entered the house with a wooden basin for washing rice. He bumped into Song Xiaoyun and Jiang Yue coming out of the house.

Jiang Yue saw Si Ningning, and her sleep-stained face regained consciousness, "Si Ningning, can you burn some firewood for cooking tonight? I want to collect some charcoal and try to make mosquito coils. You can help me then.

Just check it, okay?"

I don't know whether it was because she didn't wake up or what happened, but her voice sounded a little hoarse.

Retaining carbon was a matter of course, so Si Ningning nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

On one side, Song Xiaoyun noticed the wooden basin in Si Ningning's arms, her almond-shaped eyes swayed and she said with a smile: "Ningning, Aunt Chen has sent something again?"

"The kids are not at home, so I'm afraid it might get damaged if I don't put it in, so bring some over to us," Si Ningning said.

Xu Shuhua, who came out after putting on her shoes, heard this and laughed, "The captain is very kind, and Aunt Chen is also a good person. She usually takes good care of us. Let's be more active in our work in the future! Try to compete for the advancement of the team.

Throw that Zhougang brigade out of the eight streets!"

"I'd like to, but it's too hot today." Jiang Yue puffed her lips, "My throat was so dry from cutting grain this morning that it was almost smoking."

Si Ningning's mind moved, and she probably understood why Jiang Yue's voice was hoarse.

Si Ningning carried the wooden basin filled with lotus roots and tomatoes back to the kitchen. She hesitated slightly as she walked back to the main room. After just a moment, she walked straight towards the main room.

"If you have a cup, bring it with you. Aunt Lianmi just sent an old teapot and said she would lend it to us..."

Everyone should not be rejected because of one Wu Yong.

These people may have never given her much help, but they are all friendly and know how to share.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning sounded more serious and sincere: "If I'm not busy later, I will bring you water."

Xu Shuhua and Jiang Yue were stunned for a moment and said one after another: "Ningning/Si Ningning, thank you!"

Only Song Xiaoyun blinked and asked: "Where are the male educated youths?"

Jiang Yue gave Song Xiaoyun a strange look and said nothing. Xu Shuhua replied: "We educated youths form a small group. There is no distinction between men and women in this matter. If Ning Ning delivers water, he must give it to everyone. Should we treat him differently?"

Xu Shuhua said, grinning widely and smiling at Si Ningning: "Right Ningning!"

Si Ningning smiled and nodded, that's the truth.

Song Xiaoyun frowned and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that... I meant, if it is confirmed, should we tell the male educated youth? Remind them to take..."

Before Song Xiaoyun finished speaking, Jiang Yue had already walked out of the main room, stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips and shouted: "Li Lingyuan, if you have a water cup in the afternoon, bring a water cup, and if you don't have a water cup, bring a lunch box. We have a kettle. Ning Ning will bring us water later."

drink!"

Over there in the male educated youth's room, Mo Bei paused while flipping through the Little Red Book. Li Lingyuan had already jumped up from the bed, quickly ran to the window and raised his voice and replied: "Oh! I know! Thank you, Si Educated Youth, for us!"

"

Jiang Yue didn't answer anymore, but turned around and rushed to Xu Shuhua in the room: "Let's go, we will be late for work soon."

"Okay!" Xu Shuhua hurried back to the room to get the toothbrush bowl, "Ning Ning, let's go first!"

After walking a few steps toward the door, she saw that Song Xiaoyun pursed her lips and didn't move for a long time. Xu Shuhua grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go, Xiaoyun. I'm busy now. If you're late, you'll be scolded."

The female educated youth left, and the male educated youth also passed by the door one after another. There was not much firewood in the kitchen. Si Ningning planned to go to the door step to grab some firewood and go into the house. As soon as he squatted down in front of the door, his eyes suddenly darkened.

She raised her head and looked all the way up, facing Mo Bei's cold handsome face.

"..."

Si Ningning was silent and glanced at the cloth bag Mo Bei was holding. It was the same bag Mo Bei used to buy rice from her on the black market.

There was an agreement between them, so Si Ningning knew what Mo Bei meant.

She put down the firewood and took the rice bag, "Today or tomorrow?"

"Everything is fine." Mo Bei's voice was calm, and after a moment he said: "This is five kilograms, tell me when you finish eating."

What this means is that the rice is placed here with Si Ningning.

Si Ningning hesitated for a moment, then felt relieved after thinking about Mo Bei's temperament, "Okay."

Si Ningning stood up and was about to lock Mi Xian into the rattan box, but saw Mo Bei still standing aside looking at her, showing no intention of leaving.

Si Ningning's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and her clear eyes glanced towards the corner of the house. After a while, she tilted her head and looked at Mo Bei, "They've all left, why don't you leave?"

Mo Bei's Adam's apple slid, and he followed Si Ningning's gaze to the side of the room. When he said "just leave" on his lips, what came out was: "I have long legs and can walk fast."

"puff--"

What he said was so different from what he had said in the past that Si Ningning couldn't help but laugh.

On the delicate little face, the curved deer eyes narrowed into small crescents, the moles at the corners of the eyes trembled slightly, the pale lips were raised and the teeth were faintly exposed, the smile was bright, and she was really happy.

Mo Bei's eyebrows, which had been half frowning recently, relaxed slightly. For a short moment, from the girl's pretty smile, Mo Bei felt that he seemed to have realized something.

The corners of Mo Bei's lips curved quietly, and with a cold "leave", he left without looking back.

Si Ningning stared at his back for a long time, then looked away and shook her head slightly, laughing.

The days of going to the countryside have been long, and the eldest young master has gained a little sparkle in his body, and he has learned to joke.

It’s hard to say how much it has changed, but it has definitely grown.

Si Ningning carried firewood to the kitchen twice, washed his hands and took the kettle that Chen Lianmi had brought over, scrubbed it several times with loofah pulp before carrying it into the house.

There was already cold water in the pot at the back of the kitchen. Si Ningning filled the pot directly and finally carried the pot into the space.

Rinse a few oranges that Zhou Xiaocui has given me recently, without peeling them. Pick one, cut it in half with a knife, and throw it into the teapot. Add two or three spoons of sugar, and pinch a few mint tips and throw them in.

Stirred with chopsticks.

Then, take out all the water from the upper shelf of the refrigerator, remove the middle partition, and put the kettle inside to chill it a little.

After finishing these tasks, Si Ningning started to work on his share again. His aunt was gone and there was no need to estimate anything now.

The same operation process, but the difference is that ready-made ice mineral water is used and finally poured into a military kettle.

At first I thought it was the end of the world, so I only considered "portability" when collecting supplies. All the water I bought was bottled water. For home use, large barrels of bottled water are actually more suitable.

Thinking of this, Si Ningning couldn't help but think a little more.

The purpose of collecting supplies at the beginning was entirely to deal with situations that might occur in the end of the world. Now, traveling back to the 1970s, most of the things she collected, except for food and cloth, are of no use at the moment.

In other words, it is impossible to consume them all in this era.

Of course she can find a way to do it, but shipping in large quantities may make her rich quickly, but it will also disrupt the order of the world to a certain extent.

Forget it...those are still too far away.

...it’s better to live in peace first!

Si Ningning stuffed two mint leaves into the military kettle, tightened the cap to make room, fastened the gate of the educated youth point, and turned around to go to the pig pen.

It was cool over there in the pig pen, and Si Ningning was working there. Hegu, Sanya and Zhou Xiaocui often went there to play. Games they often played included catching stones and carrying "pockmarked poles".

Grabbing stones is easy to understand. You can pick five round stones or any multiple of five, as long as you can hold them in one hand.

First, hold it, then throw it up and catch it with the back of your hand. After catching it, throw it up and catch it with the palm of your hand. Generally, the number of stones that fall into the palm of your hand is usually 1-3. The rule for eating stones scattered on the ground every time is: one will eat three, two will eat two.

, eat one out of three or eat two out of three.

There is also something to pay attention to when eating "zi". It does not mean that you just pick it up and you are done, but you have to throw up the stone in the palm of your hand, quickly grab the stone on the ground and then catch the previously thrown stone. During this period, if a stone falls to the ground, or

If it touches other stones on the ground, it is considered a loss.

When Si Ningning was free, she also joined in the fun and played the game of chance. Every time she lost the worst, not to mention that the three fingers on the back of her right hand became barbs. After playing a few times, Si Ningning stopped playing.

However, Si Ningning has mastered the game of "Pockmarked Carrying Pole" and is able to blast several little carrot heads.

This game is actually similar to later chess and card building games, but it is not a building, and the main "parts" are not chess and cards, but small wooden sticks of the same length made of wicker.

These wicker sticks are all skinned, and different points are carved on them with a knife. Some are left black at both ends, and the skin in the middle is removed and white. Some are divided into five small sections, with two ends and left white in the middle.

Black, with white on both sides in the middle...

There are eight types of "Pockmarked Carrying Poles" in total. Each color has four pieces like chess cards, making a total of thirty-two pieces in eight types.

The gameplay is to hold the thirty-two small wooden sticks tightly, stand the bottom on any flat surface, quickly let go and move away, let the thirty-two small wooden sticks scatter by themselves, and then touch other small wooden sticks without disturbing them.

Whoever takes out the most sticks will be stronger.

There is actually an upgraded version of the game behind this, that is, the thirty-two small wooden sticks themselves are a "card". Go back and forth for several rounds until the scattered wooden sticks are removed, and the "cards" in each hand can also be played like a card.

Play a round of poker.

However, the upgraded game rules are a bit troublesome. Si Ningning only remembers that two of the same cards are pairs and four of the same cards are bombs. Other than that, she really doesn't understand which "card" is bigger and which "card" is smaller.

.

Therefore, every time you finish the first half of the game, you start over.

Today was the same as the previous few days. When Si Ningning arrived at the pig pen, several carrot heads were already waiting there eagerly.

On the shady side of the south corner of the pig pen adjacent to the alley wall, the dust on the ground had long been swept clean, and there were a few more flat stones than before.

At this time, several little carrot heads were sitting on the rocks, playing "pockmarked poles" together. Listening to the footsteps coming from the lane behind them, they turned back one after another.

When he saw who was coming, he stood up happily and said, "Sister, an educated youth!"

"Sister educated youth!"

"We thought you would have to wait a while before coming. This game has already started. We will wait for you to play with us in the next game!" Several little carrots said over and over again.

However, there is an exception.

Hegu standing silently at the end is particularly obvious.

Hegu often ran to the pig pen during this period, but he never participated in other people's games. He usually found a corner to sit, either focusing on Si Ningning's work, or silently watching other children.

Carrot head plays.

I never had any intention of getting involved.

Maybe it was because of his personality, or maybe it was a psychological flaw, but in short, poor little Hegu successfully touched the softness in Si Ningning's heart.

Because of this, Si Ningning will always pay more attention to Hegu.

"You guys play, I'll go and clean up first... I have other things to do today. I'll have time to play with you after I'm done." Si Ningning put a peaceful smile on his face and strolled past Little Carrot Head. When he passed by He Gu

, took advantage of the situation and touched his head.

Hegu twisted his neck uncomfortably, puffed out his mouth, opened his eyes wide, and followed Si Ningning's movements.

The others sat back and continued to play games. Hegu saw Si Ningning flipping into the pig pen. He followed him and lay on the edge of the pig pen looking at Si Ningning.

"What are you doing here if you are so smelly? Go over there and play with everyone."

Hegu shook his head. His small face was almost gone, and his eyes looked extra big. "You cleaned it very well, there is no smell anymore."

Yes.

Si Ningning cleaned the pig pen very cleanly.

Usually when the children were here, Si Ningning would go to Zhou Xiaocui's house to get a bucket of water to wash the ground.

When the children were not here, she would go in and out of the space seven or eight times.

First sweep, then rinse. If it weren't for a few pigs eating and pulling at the same time, the entire pig pen would have been cleaned spotlessly by Si Ningning.

However, because of her careful and thorough cleaning, the pig pen has long since stopped smelling. The only obvious smell is the swill delivered by each household every morning. The other three seasons are fine. It is hot in summer and in the morning

When you bring swill, you can almost smell the rancid smell at noon.

Si Ningning wanted to give up, but reality did not allow it.

People dislike the smell of swill, but a few pigs like it very much.

Si Ningning sighed softly helplessly, and inadvertently glanced at He Gu's slightly chapped lips.
