Back to the era with space materials

Chapter 162 Guidance

Si Ningning had no choice but to give up and compromise by filling half a pot of water into the pot. He placed the basin in the pot and covered the pot with a lid. It was estimated that it would also have a little preservation effect.

After finishing all this work, Si Ningning wiped and swept everywhere. After all the work, it was almost time. Hegu and Sanae didn't come over. They probably remembered what she said yesterday and wouldn't come out so early.

Without waiting, Si Ningning stuffed a few fruit candies bought from the supply and marketing cooperative into a bamboo basket, put on a straw hat, and went directly to the team carrying a military kettle and an elephant trunk pot.

As usual, we go to collect rice bran first, and then go to the pig pen to clean and feed the pigs.

I originally thought that Hegu and the others had not gone out yet, but as soon as they turned into the alley, Si Ningning saw two little ones squatting next to the pig pen.

"Didn't I say that yesterday? Why are you here so early?" Si Ningning walked over, put the straw hat and teapot on the stone pier aside, and stuffed a candy into each of them.

While Si Ningning was busy feeding the pigs, she asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Actually, we just came here, right? Sanmiao." Hegu handed the candy to Sanmiao and followed Si Ningning.

Sanae took the candy over there and hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Well... yes. Sister educated youth, we have only been here not long ago."

Si Ningning smiled after hearing this, "Okay... you guys play around for a while while I clean up the place and then go deliver water to the educated youth in the field. We will go back to the educated youth point later."

Sanae nodded obediently, while Hegu wandered around like a headless fly, "Si Ningning, didn't you say you wanted me to help you with your work?"

On the one hand, He Gu promised Si Ningning that he would help her with her work.

On the other hand, he remembered the words of his elder brother Huo Lang: Don't cause trouble to others, "good things" are mutual, and you can't take anything for granted.

Si Ningning thought that it would be a good idea to exercise Hegu, so she did not refuse. She raised her chin towards the bucket on the side of the pig pen and said, "Then look at whether Xiaocui is at home? If she is at home, just carry the bucket.

Go over and press a bucket of water, I'll come over and carry it in a moment."

"good!"

Hegu simply turned around and ran towards the other end of the alley.

Sanae followed closely behind, "Second brother, wait for me, I'll go too!"

After half an hour and forty minutes of working on the pig pen, Si Ningning walked on the field ridge wearing a straw hat and an elephant trunk pot in her hand, followed by Hegu and Sanmiao.

Uncles and aunts who were working along the road saw it and joked: "Si Zhiqing, you are so popular that you are now the king of children?"

Si Ningning responded with a smile: "I am useless at work, so I am just a child. Auntie, please stop teasing me, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to go out."

Sister-in-law on Tuesday was also working nearby. When she heard this, she straightened up and said, "Hey Si Zhiqing, what my sisters-in-law said is not to say anything wrong with you."

After saying that, Sister-in-law on Tuesday picked up the sweat towel around her neck and wiped the sweat, turned around and said to the members working nearby: "You don't know, right? The educated youths in this department are very capable. They not only tell stories to the children, but also teach them."

How to read! Our Cuicui can even write her own name."

"Ouch! Is this true?" Someone immediately exclaimed.

Although people in this era are conservative in their thinking, most people still believe that reading and literacy is the only way out.

Upon hearing that Si Ningning was teaching children how to read, a sister-in-law said: "Si Zhiqing, my Ermao is also obedient. Let him follow you tomorrow, can you teach him too?"

"And my furry egg!"

"My family, and my family's, my family's sledgehammer!"

The corner of Si Ningning's mouth twitched, she didn't expect this to happen.

Because his aunt and sisters-in-law were too enthusiastic, Si Ningning relaxed his tone and said politely: "Okay, I usually work in the pig pen, so I can have some free time in the morning. If the children are interested, aunt will let the children go to the pig pen."

Come find me over there at the fence, it happens to be cool there too."

All the sisters-in-law nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Si Zhiqing, let's just say this."

Rural people have simple minds and have only one concept of word recognition. If they don't recognize a word, they really don't know it.

But as long as you can recognize a word, you know the word, which is very different from those crawling around in the ground.

Si Ningning nodded and took Hegu and Sanmiao to continue towards where the educated youths were working.

This time, by chance, there was a large paddy field. Mo Bei and the others had already cut the grain from the end of the field to the head of the field. They could finish cutting this field this afternoon.

When Si Ningning came over, the three of them each came over with teapots and kettles.

Mo Beijun filled the kettle with water and put one hand on his sore lower back. He stood on the field ridge and took a sip of water with his neck raised. He seemed a little puzzled. He lowered his head and stared at the kettle.

, and then looked at Si Ningning, who was still pouring water for Li Lingyuan and the others, "Isn't the water ice cold today?"

Si Ningning paused for a moment and looked up to see Mo Bei's angular face covered with beads of sweat. She considered her explanation: "I'm a little busy today, so I don't need to use the well..."

Today was the same as before. After passing by the threshing floor and pouring water for the uncles and aunts on the team, Si Ningning planned to go to the pig pen and use the surrounding trees to cover the space. However, he did not expect that He Gu and San Miao would be waiting there.

Over there at the pig pen...

Looking at Li Lingyuan and the others, who were just like Mo Bei, looking sweaty and embarrassed, Si Ningning said, "I'll take a shower in advance this afternoon."

Mo Bei didn't question Si Ningning, let alone blame him, he just asked him casually.

Hearing Si Ningning's answer, Mo Bei nodded, stood upright as a tall man, and drank two more mouthfuls of water in silence.

Just when Li Lingyuan and the others were shouting to continue working in the fields, Mo Bei suddenly said, "It tastes equally good whether it's cold or not."

Si Ningning said "Ah" and didn't respond.

Mo Bei had already averted his eyes and handed the half-drunk bottle of water to Si Ningning. He returned to his usual cool demeanor and said, "Fill it up."

"oh!"

The filling opening of the military kettle was small, and Si Ningning was worried that the water would spill, so when he was filling it, he lowered his head and looked very focused, completely unaware of the strange and flashing blush under Mo Bei's eyelids.

After Mo Bei tightened the military kettle, he took a mouthful and said, "I didn't buy the meat, but I did buy the stick bones. Let's make the stick bone soup at noon. Tell Li Lingyuan and the others to stop ink after work and go home early!"

Si Ningning said "go home" so naturally. He had no idea that because of these words, a strange feeling flashed through Mo Bei's heart again.

"Okay." Mo Bei responded.

As soon as he stepped into the field, he heard Si Ningning suggest: "If you like to drink ice, you can clean the kettle and give it to me after work in the afternoon, and I can fill it for you in the morning when I cook?"

"...Okay." Mo Bei nodded and agreed.

After leaving the male educated youth side, Si Ningning took Hegu and Sanae to the other direction of the production team.

On the way, Si Ningning thought that the military kettle was very convenient for keeping warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When he got back, he must ask others if they wanted to buy it.

She and Mo Bei use the same model, and she is the only one who has it now. The price on the black market is 12 yuan each, and Xu Shuhua and the others definitely cannot afford it.

But it doesn't necessarily have to be like her.

The military kettles currently on the market are also equipped with inner bladders, and the insulation effect may not be as good as hers, but it is still close, and it is more or less convenient.

Thinking about it, we have arrived at the fields where female educated youths work.

Si Ningning raised the brim of his hat and glanced around. When he saw a few people working hard not far away, he stood on tiptoes and shouted in a loud voice: "Shuhua, Xiaoyun, come here for a drink of water!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Yue from the other side of the field took the lead in sticking her head out, running over at a trot, shouting as she ran, "I'll count the time, and you'll be here when the sun reaches the top of my head!"

Xu Shuhua followed behind and laughed out loud, "Slow down, turn around and let others see you. It's time to say that you are not active in work, but you are active in something like drinking water to avoid laziness."

Jiang Yue frowned and retorted: "A proper rest is to work better!"

After taking a sip of water, Jiang Yue asked the question that Mo Bei asked before: "Why isn't the water cold today?"

Si Ningning still used the same rhetoric.

Jiang Yue said "Oh" and said: "It tastes good if it's cold, and it tastes good if it's not cold."

Si Ningning curved her lips and smiled, fully understanding what Jiang Yue meant.

Si Ningning mentioned the stick bone thing again, and told the three of them to go home early at noon. Then, under the joyful cheers of the three girls, he took Hegu and Sanmiao back to the educated youth point.

At the well, Si Ningning filled the pool with water and asked Hegu and Sanae to wash their hands and faces to get rid of the heat. She also told them not to go near the well mouth, then turned around and went into the house to get things.

Finally, he came out of the house with his pelvis in his arms and a basket of vegetables on his arm, and moved towards the well in a difficult and awkward posture.

When Hegu saw it, he quickly got up and ran to Si Ningning, stretched out his hand and said, "Let me help you."

"No, just these two steps." Si Ningning declined politely.

It was a bit awkward to hold things in this position, but it was only a few steps away, and she just took it and pulled it off the ground, which would only cause more trouble.

"oh……"

Hegu responded with a wilting sound and followed back to the well.

The temperature in midsummer is so hot that it is difficult to get excited, and the trees around it seem to be filled with countless cicadas. The cicadas chirp "vvvv" constantly, making people feel sultry and at the same time, there is an inexplicable lingering feeling in their hearts.

The anger may completely erupt in any quarrel or any awkward situation.

The wooden basin and the basket were placed on the stone platform beside the well. Si Ningning wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. He also felt that his heart was heavy. His back seemed to be carrying an invisible weight. He just longed to be cooler, and then in the cool breeze.

Squint for a while.

It probably corresponds to that sentence:

Spring is sleepy, autumn is tired, summer takes a nap, and winter is March when I can't wake up.

Si Ningning folded his hands with his index fingers intertwined, stretched his palms outward over his head, stretched his waist and moved the muscles of his shoulders and arms at the same time, cheering up again, "Put the water in the pool out."

Sanae took advantage of the situation and pulled out the rag blocking the drain.

The water in the pool gurgled away, and a new bucket of water was brought up from the well.

Si Ningning raised her chin and signaled Sanae to block the water outlet of the sink again, then poured water into it, and took the first step to take out the cucumbers from the basket and wash them.

There were only three cucumbers in the basket. Si Ningning originally planned to get together a plate of cold vegetables for lunch, but there were three of them. After she washed them, she took one cucumber to each of them and simply divided them up on the spot.

"Eat and have fun." Si Ningning bent her eyes and smiled, "After eating, start working again."

As he spoke, he took the first bite of a green cucumber.

Not to mention, cucumbers have a crisp taste and plenty of water. Although they are not as sweet as other fruits and melons, after being soaked and rinsed in cold well water, the refreshing feeling rolls into the stomach with swallowing, which is another kind of comfort.

After eating a cucumber, a gentle breeze was blowing during this period, and the heat gradually receded. In an instant, Si Ningning suddenly laughed and felt a little emotional.

She actually felt that in such a hot summer, sitting in the shade and eating such a green cucumber could bring a little bit of comfort and fun to the ordinary days.

The days are busy and dull, but yet peaceful~

Peaceful years and life are sometimes a kind of life that many people long for.

And it just so happens that Si Ningning is one of these "many people".

Feel the regional culture, customs and customs in a remote mountain village.

Watch the sun, moon and stars move under the old eaves.

Under the mottled shadow of the trees, listen to the sound of the wind walking on the leaf tips...

For Si Ningning, all this is a cleansing of the body and a sedimentation of the heart.

She doesn't hate this situation, on the contrary, sometimes she feels more relaxed.

Pulling some water from the pool to rinse his arms, Si Ningning poured the lettuce in the basket into it. While peeling off the outer leaves and cleaning the soil from the roots, he looked at Hegu and Sanae with a gentle smile, "Then I'll ask you two to work hard."

My little rabbit, help me wash the vegetables~"

Sanae was agile and started to help before Si Ningning finished speaking.

Hegu rolled up his sleeves slowly, and while choosing which dish to wash, he pursed his lips and asked confusedly: "Why the little rabbit? Why can't it be the eagle sauce? How amazing the eagle sauce is! If it's the eagle sauce

If you do, you don’t have to worry about being bullied by other animals.”

"Yingjiang is very powerful." Si Ningning kept busy, and at the same time broke He Gu's expectations without hesitation, "But we are rabbits, and this cannot be changed."

"I won't be a rabbit!"

Hegu's thin oval face had bulging cheeks. He was stubborn and unwilling, and the corners of his eyes flickered, as if he was about to cry.

"There are many things in this world that are not what we want to do. You want to be Yingjiang because Yingjiang is powerful, right? In other words, you think rabbits are weak and easily bullied by other animals."

Si Ningning pointed out the problem and provided timely guidance and correction, "But in fact, we are rabbits, and this is a fact that no one can change."

"If we don't want to be bullied by others, we must first stand up on our own." Si Ning looked steadily at He Gu.

As she spoke, she reached out her hand again and rubbed away the tears overflowing from Hegu's eyes with her thumb, "Just like now, you are a little man. When you encounter something, you have to find a way to solve it. You can't shed tears easily, let alone because things are not as good as yourself.

If you wish, you will shed tears.”
