Back to the era with space materials

Chapter 180 Two people sit side by side, one loves to ask questions and the other is willing to answer. The atmosphere is warm and harmonious.

"I know."

Jiang Yue understood what Si Ningning meant.

Si Ningning was telling her to stay close to herself unless necessary and not to think about her brother all the time...

If she herself is not living well, and she has to overextend herself to support her brother, that may temporarily reassure herself and make her brother feel comfortable, but if it takes a little longer, it will be the two of us who will be brought down in the end."

Her eyes couldn't help but feel sour, Jiang Yue exhaled and quickly lowered her head.

When she looked up at Si Ningning again, tears welled up in Jiang Yue's eyes, with a heavy nasal sound in her voice, and she stared stubbornly and helplessly: "You are the only one who knows what to say every time, and you do it so gently.

Well?"

Although it was very helpful when she was comforted, in comparison, Si Ningning was so gentle and thoughtful, so she could cry when she was sad, which always felt a bit strange and embarrassing.

Si Ningning deliberately opened her eyes wide, raised a smile and winked at Jiang Yue, "Yes, I won't be so gentle next time. I should have woken you up when I found out that you were emotionally negative."

Jiang Yue glared at Si Ningning.

Si Ningning waved her hand, "Go and take a nap, I'm still busy!"

"Do you have any extra pens? Let me copy them for you!" Jiang Yue suggested.

Of course there are pens, and there are many of them, but I can't take them out.

What Si Ningning is using now is a refill that was removed from a gel pen and slightly wrapped with paper to pretend that the refill is leaking.

If another one is taken out in Yongyang's way, what will Jiang Yue do when she finds out the clues?

Thinking about it, Si Ningning shook his head, "No more. I don't have much left here. It's almost done. You can go to sleep."

"Oh well!"

Jiang Yue had no choice but to give up. After Si Ningning enlightened her, she felt much better. After going back to her room and lying down, she quickly fell asleep.

Si Ningning picked up the military water bottle and took a sip of ice water. The coolness made her stomach feel comfortable. She straightened her back and exhaled comfortably, then continued to write hard.

After writing more than a dozen jingles on how to grow vegetables, Si Ningning wrote down the lyrics of "Not afraid of wind and snow" that he had taught He Gu before:

Not afraid of wind and snow

My Chinese sons and daughters bleed but do not shed tears

Never regret, enter China and show your power

Faith is as strong as iron

Not afraid of hardship or tiredness

Remember the bravery and fearlessness of the revolutionary martyrs

Full of passion

Praise Chinese young people for being brave and not retreating

Be wise and responsible, and take off

Work hard to learn culture

Grow up and build Greater China

Move forward courageously and confidently create tomorrow...

The first three fingers of her little hand grasped the paper and shook it. Si Ningning followed the lyrics with her eyes and hummed softly on both sides. As the last line of the lyrics settled, she clenched her fist with her little hand and knocked on the table with a rather exciting charm, "

The courses have been further improved and spiritual beliefs have also been developed, which is great!”

Si Ningning's eyes curled up and she smiled brightly. She took out her pocket watch and took a look. There was still nearly an hour and a half before work started. She should relax for a while and rest her mind!

Collecting the scattered papers on the table and pressing them under his arms, Si Ningning yawned lazily and lay down on the edge of the table.

The usual lunch break is one and a half hours, but because it has been too hot these days and he is worried about the members being exposed to the sun and getting into trouble, Zhao Hongbing postpones the start of work at noon by an hour, and moves the end of work later.

Anyway, it gets dark late now, so it doesn't affect the overall work progress.

The double rush in mid-summer is really busy. They are busy harvesting the last batch of winter wheat planted years ago and harvesting the summer millet. After harvesting the millet, they have to plow out the paddy fields and plant the rice seedlings harvested in the autumn.

In addition to these, there are also corn and soybeans harvested in autumn, and peanuts harvested in November.

The members of the team were very busy, and the educated youths were not necessarily doing much better. The male educated youths picked millet, plowed the fields, and occasionally had to take turns with the team members to go to the threshing floor to keep vigil at night.

Female educated youths are responsible for transporting seedlings, transplanting rice seedlings, threshing millet, etc.

The water delivery job, which Si Ningning had pushed away angrily at first, suddenly fell back to her.

And because of his good skills in making "summer tea", he once again took over the job of delivering water, but he was no longer responsible only for the water for the educated youths, but also for some members of the commune, as before.

To this end, Chen Lianmi not only sent her own kettles, but also collected two idle kettles from the team.

There were four kettles in total. If He Gu and San Miao hadn't helped each other and occasionally helped carry one or two when going out, Si Ningning would have spent a lot of time just delivering water every day.

After delivering water that day, Si Ningning returned to the pig pen, and it was rare that Little Carrot Head didn't follow her, allowing her to catch her breath.

After neatly mixing the pig food and feeding it to the pigs, while the pigs were eating, Si Ningning climbed into the pig pen and swept around, then went into the space to fetch water and came out, washing the floor in one go.

After washing my hands and face, I still had time to sit down and nibble on two pieces of jelly that had been frozen into balls.

With the jelly ball in his mouth, the extreme coldness instantly made the hairs on his back stand up.

Si Ningning smoothly put the plastic case into the space. Before he could raise his head, his vision suddenly dimmed.

A pair of legs wearing Jiefang shoes, overalls and gray cloth appeared on the ground in front of them.

No one can dress like this except Huo Lang.

Si Ningning dropped two drops of jelly and swallowed it. The light in the sky was dazzling. She could only squint her eyes and look up at Huo Lang, "Have you traveled far?"

Normally in the team, Huo Lang always dresses casually, just like ordinary members.

Going to the county would be more formal, but today, although Huo Lang was dressed plainly, he had cloth strips tied around his legs. He obviously went to a place that could not be reached by car, and the distance was not close.

"It's not very far. The Seventh Brigade of Hongqi Commune is only seven or eight miles away from here." Huo Lang responded in a low voice.

It's only seven or eight miles, isn't it more than ten miles for a round trip?

"..." Si Ningning was speechless for a while.

Seeing Huo Lang bowing slightly, her broad hands were groping for something in the pockets on the outside of her thighs. Si Ningning took a few more curious glances, and then noticed that the pockets on both sides of her legs were bulging, and she didn't know what was stuffed in them.

Just as he was looking at it, two bowl-sized lotus pods were stuffed into his arms.

Si Ningning was stunned, "Where did it come from?"

After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Where is Hongqi Commune?"

"The reservoir channel passes by there. There are several small lakes in that area. The production team has a sideline business of raising ducks and growing lotus roots." Huo Lang nodded, turned sideways and looked into the pig pen, thinking that if it was not cleaned up, he would go in to help.

After cleaning it up, it turned out that the inside was already cleaned up. "Lotus pods just came out this season, so I picked a few."

Si Ningning picked off a lotus seed, peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth. The lotus pod was very tender, and even if the green lotus seed heart in the middle was not removed, it still tasted sweet.

After eating several in a row, Si Ningning stopped talking and asked belatedly: "Did you give them all to me? Didn't you leave them for Hegu and the others?"

Huo Lang shook his head, "I left it, there is another one."

"..."

Si Ningning looked at the lotus pods in her hands. She had picked out half of the two lotus pods, and now only one and a half were left.

Thinking about Hegu and Sanae sharing the same lotus pod, it was so pitiful that Si Ningning scratched his head in embarrassment and handed the intact lotus pod back to Huo Lang, "I'm not a child. Just try one of them. You can take this one back."

, let Hegu and Sanae take one each."

Huo Lang leaned against the fence, looking down at Si Ningning without moving.

Si Ningning didn't understand why at first, but when she saw the look in Huo Lang's peach blossom eyes, she instantly became angry.

The clear look in his eyes meant that he said: You are just a child.

Along with another half-picked lotus pod, he stuffed it into Huo Lang's arms, and Si Ningning stood up to leave.

Huo Lang stretched out his hand to stop her and blocked her back, "Okay, how can you say you are angry when you are angry?"

"Why do you think it is?" Si Ningning stared at him with wide eyes, but returned to her normal expression for just a moment, "Don't you know? Children are inherently moody."

Si Ningning had a bright and gentle little Ou Rang on her face, but her voice had a hint of yin and yang, and Huo Lang knew as soon as he heard it that she was angry.

The little girl raised her eyebrows and snorted, her face quickly tightened and became cold. Huo Lang didn't want to get angry with a little girl, so he thought and threw an olive branch, "Do you still want to go to the mountains to play? Tomorrow."

Si Ningning felt a "ding" in her mind and couldn't hold herself any longer. She turned her head and asked, "Tomorrow?"

Huo Lang nodded.

Si Ningning thought for a moment.

If Huo Lang could say this, he should have a plan in mind and be able to arrange things properly, but she still asked: "What's the reason this time?"

"The double grab is coming to an end, and the team's work will slowly slow down. There is half an acre of soybean land in the mountain nest over there, and one more person will be needed tomorrow." Huo Lang pointed in the direction of the road to the town, "If

If you want to go, we can go to the warehouse to pick up the bean seeds tomorrow and then we can come together."

Changing a place to work can indirectly change your mood.

After the complicated farm work was over, Si Ningning also wanted to relax.

Si Ningning was very moved.

Si Ningning took a step back and sat down on the stone pier. Si Ningning patted his side and motioned for Huo Lang to sit down.

When they sat down, she put her elbows on her knees and raised her chin, looking at Huo Lang, and asked curiously: "Then why did you go to Hongqi Commune today?"

Noticing that Huo Lang was sweating profusely, after hesitating for a moment, Si Ningning took off the military water bottle and handed it over.

Without thinking much, Huo Lang took it and unscrewed the cap of the bottle. He raised his neck and drank two drinks. The cold liquid rolled into his stomach. Huo Lang took a breath of comfort, screwed the cap and returned it to Si Ning.

rather:

"There are some production teams over there that are also close to the mountain. Recently, for some unknown reason, wild boars have been coming down the mountain. The sweet potato fields that will be harvested in two months have been trampled to a pulp. Someone from the commune asked me to go over and have a look.

.”

Si Ningning's eyes widened, "Well, then you killed the wild boar?"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to one side and looked at Huo Lang's palms in front of his knees, "With fists?"

"What are you thinking about..." Huo Lang rarely glanced at Si Ningning, his peach-blossom eyes glaring at Si Ningning. For a moment, his expression quickly returned to normal, "I shot him with a blunderbuss. He hit me three times."

hair."

As he spoke, he made some gestures with his fingers.

Si Ningning had only seen wild boars in the animal world, but had never seen a live wild boar. This was the first time he had heard of such a wild boar hunting incident happening around him, so he asked a few more questions out of curiosity:

"How big is the wild boar?"

"Do you have two hundred pounds?"

"The teeth are very long, aren't they?"

Si Ningning was curious, and Huo Lang didn't hide anything, and told them all:

"It's not that big, only five or six months."

"The pattern on its body is very similar to that of a deer, but the tusks are just that."

Huo Lang pinched the first knuckle of his index finger with his thumb, "You wouldn't even notice it unless you looked closely."

Si Ningning nodded knowingly, "I heard that there are two breeding periods for wild boars, one is January and February, and the other is July and August. It seems that the ones you shot should be the ones in the spring."

Huo Lang nodded, and Si Ningning asked another spiritual question: "Are gunfire not as powerful as guns? It takes three bullets to kill a pig?"

"It's two ends. When I shot the first one, I alerted the second one, and later when I chased it, I missed a shot." Huo Lang pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for the issue of 'power', it also depends on what kind of gun it is compared with."

.”

On the big stone pillar next to the pig pen, two people were sitting side by side. One liked to ask questions and the other was willing to answer. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"But compared to most guns, the accuracy of the gun is indeed worse."

Huo Lang had been a soldier, and Si Ningning didn't know if it was because of her fondness for Brother Bing. She felt that when Huo Lang mentioned these things, his eyes were particularly clear, and his whole body exuded a special charm.

"Were you good with a gun before?"

"Fortunately. Compared to guns, I'm better at fighting... uh -" Huo Lang paused, turned his head to look at Si Ningning and immediately changed his tone, "Little girl, don't always talk about guns and cannonballs.

What do you want to say?"

After he finished speaking, Huo Lang placed the lotus pod that Si Ningning had just given him back to him on the stone pillar, stood up, patted his sleeves and prepared to leave, "We will set off tomorrow after you finish your work in the morning. We won't be back at noon, so be prepared.

.”

Be prepared not to come back for dinner...

This is a disguised form of telling Si Ningning that tomorrow will be the same as going up the mountain before!

Si Ningning was originally a little bit unhappy because of Huo Lang's reprimanding tone. As soon as she heard this, her attention was immediately diverted. She nodded and said, "I know."

Separating from Huo Lang, Si Ningning cleaned up the outside of the pig pen and went back to the educated youth spot.

On the way back, Si Ningning thought about what Huo Lang said but didn't continue in the middle of speaking. Si Ningning kept guessing in her mind.

Better at starting a fight than shooting a gun... What to fight for?

Battle tank?

fighter?

But in the past few years, this kind of big thing has been a relatively rare combat equipment. Generally, only seniors with more qualifications should be qualified to get it, right?

After thinking about it all the way to the point of educated youth, Si Ningning shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it.

No matter if he flies a plane or a tank!

That's all in the past.

It's all over now, why do you still think about it so much?

Just look at the present moment...!

Si Ningning patted her face, took off the kettle and entered the house.

The next day she went out and didn't come back for lunch, so not only did she and Huo Lang have to prepare what they wanted to eat, but they also had to make Hegu and Sanae's lunch in advance.
