Back to the era with space materials

Chapter 182: Education “Grace”

There are eggs, thin noodles, and side dishes. This is so happy!

Huo Lang was a good big brother and would never deprive his younger brothers and sisters of their food rations. However, although the eggs laid by the chickens raised in the family were kept for the family to eat, in most cases, one egg was beaten into a large bowl of soup.

It's not often that one egg is eaten per person like now, and it's still eaten with whole grains.

Sanae looked at the cake with a light golden skin, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart: Si Zhiqing is really amazing. Not only is he good-looking, but he also cooks delicious food. Even the cakes he bakes are so beautiful, comparable to her elder brother's black cakes.

Not the same at all!

"You don't eat like this every day, so what are you afraid of? If he wants to say it, let him tell me." Si Ningning bowed slightly and pinched Sanmiao's chubby little face, "You guys are growing taller now.

When the time comes, you should adjust your diet appropriately, otherwise you won’t be able to grow taller in the future.”

Sanae smiled shyly and said nothing.

Si Ningning didn't know whether she agreed with what she said, or simply didn't dare to refute it.

The empty plates and bowls were put into the basket on his back, and he used his height to cover up the space. Si Ningning put the basket on his back, looked for things with Sanae, and covered the food on the table.

Si Ningning reminded: "The cake can be eaten directly at noon. If you want to heat it up, you must be careful when lighting the fire."

"I enjoyed this salad with shredded green onions. I didn't know if you and Hegu were used to it, so I cooked two extra braised eggs."

"What are braised eggs?" Sanae raised her head with curiosity.

"Well……"

Si Ningning was immediately stopped by her question.

Were there no braised eggs in the 1970s?

Can't?

Si Ningning thought that the members thought that braised eggs were too troublesome or that the materials were insufficient, so they simply stopped doing it.

There are fewer people doing it, and the children are young, so of course it is normal that they have never seen it.

So after thinking about it, Si Ningning explained: "Well... do you know braised pork? It's a marinade similar to that. Put eggs in it and cook it. After it's cooked, crack it open and continue cooking it until it changes color and tastes delicious.

.”

Sanae nodded as if she understood, "So that's it. Aunt Renmi used to raise a black-bone chicken at home. The eggs were black. I thought they were eggs laid by a black-bone chicken?"

"These are not black eggs." Si Ningning explained in a funny and helpless manner: "Although the black chicken is completely black, the eggs it lays are similar in color to the eggs laid by ordinary chickens."

Sanae nodded, and the two of them walked out while talking. Before they reached the main room, they heard Hegu in the front yard spit out mouthwash, and exclaimed with joy: "Brother, you are back!"

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, not expecting Huo Lang to come back at this time.

At this time, Hegu's voice was heard again, "Brother, you came back just in time, Si Ningning is here! You, hurry up..."

Speaking of the latter part, Hegu's voice was obviously lowered in a sneaky way.

Si Ningning’s crescent-shaped eyebrows were so furrowed that they were almost knotted, and she didn’t know where this was coming from.

Thinking about it, he arrived at the main room in a flash and was face to face with Huo Lang, who had his long legs buried in the room.

Huo Lang has a strong sense of personal responsibility, and he is a solid laborer. Generally, the tasks assigned to him during busy farming periods are not as heavy as usual. Even so, after finishing his share, he will still think of finding ways to exploit every opportunity.

Make time to help others.

For example, today, if he confirmed early in the morning that he would work in the soybean field, the production team would not assign him any other work, but what?

Just two hours before departure, Huo Lang went out early, took out the production team's cows and fed them well, and even went around to the threshing floor to thresh some millet.

Huo Lang picked up the sweat towel on his neck and wiped the sweat. It was still cool in the morning, but his coat was already soaked with sweat. Before entering the yard, he unbuttoned four buttons. He originally planned to wash his shirt with some well water. Listen,

He buttoned it back up while holding onto the grain.

"Why do you want to come here? Didn't you tell me to wait until you finish your work in the morning before going out?" Perhaps because he hadn't spoken since early in the morning, Huo Lang's voice was particularly low and hoarse.

Si Ningning pursed her lips and replied truthfully: "I thought I wouldn't be back at noon, so I made the food for Hegu and the others to eat for lunch in advance."

After the words fell, Hegu poked his head out of the door and asked, "Si Ningning, what delicious food did you make today?"

Huo Lang held his head with his backhand and pushed him back again, "I've already passed it. You can take it back. They can't eat that much."

It was a good thing he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Si Ningning asked: "What did you make for them? Kangcai dumplings?"

The little girl's eyes widened and she looked straight at him without any concealment, obviously waiting for his answer, and there was also a very disapproving tone.

Huo Lang's throat rolled up. He didn't know what was going on, but suddenly he felt like he had done something inappropriate and was caught.

He rubbed his hair back uncomfortably, walked to the table avoiding Si Ningning's eyes, and poured half a tank of water into the enamel jar. "Gudong, gudong." That's two big mouthfuls. "Eat it once in a while, but not often."

eat."

Huo Lang could see that Si Ningning really liked children and was very popular among them, but what he didn't make clear was that he ate the vegetable dumplings in the pot, and the sweet potatoes were the ones to eat.

of cereals and sanoa.

Si Ningning was not clear about the twists and turns involved, and to be honest, Huo Lang was the one who made the final decision in the Chen family. She had no right to interfere with what he wanted to feed his younger siblings.

But of course there is no reason to take back the things that were sent to you.

Si Ningning stepped out of the threshold and said, "If they can't eat, then I can save it for you to eat when they come back in the afternoon. It's not for nothing. You gave me so many food stamps..."

"I'm going to the pig pen. I'll pick up the bean seeds when I'm done. We can go out early and come back early in the afternoon."

After saying that, Si Ningning had already walked out of the yard.

Huo Lang watched her leave, and went to the kitchen with the Hegu limited edition "pendant" hanging on his leg. Sanae followed him all the way.

The things Si Ningning sent included two bowls and a plate, tied with a woven bamboo basket and a wooden basin. It was very conspicuous when placed on the table.

Huo Lang walked over and opened the things directly. The white and golden scallion pancakes came into view first. The sunlight coming in from the morning window reflected on them, and you could still see obvious oily flowers.

Huo Lang pursed his thin lips and opened another one, revealing the attractive color of cold shredded green onions and eggs. This time, he also frowned.

Huo Lang turned around and glanced at his siblings, "Is this what you usually eat at the educated youth spot?"

Hegu nodded, then shook his head again after a while, "There are no eggs."

"But there is meat." Sanae raised her hand and added.

Huo Lang's deep brows furrowed further and he asked again: "Do you eat all refined grains?"

He Gu nodded, "Yes, there are rice, noodles, and pimple soup... Brother, Si Ningning is very good at cooking, and the rice he cooks is delicious."

Sanae kept nodding next to her "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah", fully supporting what her second brother said.

"You two sticks."

Huo Lang suddenly felt a slight pain in his head. He stretched out his hand and patted each of the two little heads lightly and hard, then sat crookedly on the wooden pillar in front of the stove.

No wonder I come back from the educated youth center every day and talk about how delicious my lunch is.

Couldn’t it be delicious?

They are all made from fine grains, meat and eggs, and they are willing to use oil...

How is this helping to cook?

Raising a son is nothing more than that.

Huo Lang took a deep breath, frowned and glanced at Sanae and Hegu.

The two of them seemed to have realized something, and they both stopped playing around and stood in front of Huo Lang.

Huo Lang didn't say anything, and the kitchen was quiet for a while. For a while, even the sound of hens clucking in the front yard could be clearly heard.

Seeing Sanae's increasingly rounder face and the obvious turn of color on Hegu's face, Huo Lang sighed deeply.

He did not reprimand the two of them sharply, but said sincerely and sincerely: "Do you think that if you give people food stamps, you can eat openly?"

The two little ones looked at him, Hegu said nothing, and Sanae was a little scared, "Brother..."

Huo Lang didn't give Sanae a chance to speak, and continued: "There are several uncles in the team, and they work in the fields non-stop throughout the year. After a year, they only get a small amount of grain based on work points. If they change to coarse grains, the amount will be several times.

I can barely survive starvation."

"The educated youths come from the city and their work is not as good as that of farmers. How many work points can they get? Si Ning...Si educated youth is also a lesbian."

Huo Lang stopped when he said this. He Gu has always liked Si Ningning the most. Hearing this, he already understood what he meant and immediately apologized and repented, "Brother, I was wrong..."

Hegu realized that what they were doing was wrong, but he was too young to tell what was wrong.

Huo Lang's deep brows furrowed, and his chest was extremely depressed, but he still pulled his younger brothers and sisters closer to him and patiently guided him: "Those money tickets are limited, and I don't need to tell you the price of fine grains. You guys know more or less."

"Even if they are helping, they are not obligated to give you good food and drink every time. In addition to these, they also have to take you to play and wait for you to sleep... She could not do this at all, but she did it."

"People need to be grateful, you know?"

"You have to repay this friendship a thousand times a hundred times. Any less will be a loss of heart."

Because this has exceeded the initial expectations, it is no longer just "helping", let alone simple cooking.

Si Ningning's actions went beyond the care of ordinary neighbors, but came from a woman's inner love and education for her children.

Huo Lang's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Hegu and Sanae are special. They have no father and no mother. In the past few years, Huo Lang has been a father and a mother to bring them up. Whether it is internal or external conditions, he gives them the best.

Looking around, no one in the entire production team, big or old, can compare to Hegu and Sanmiao.

But when a child is growing up, these alone are not enough.

The warmth that only women can give and bring in life cannot be brought to them no matter how hard Huo Lang tries.

But now, Si Ningning gave them...

This is a kind of "favor". It is a kind of nurturing kindness to He Gu and Sanae, and it is a great help to Huo Lang.

Huo Lang will remember Si Ningning's help to him, and he will also let He Gu and Sanae remember this love.

"Remember?"

"Remember!"

"Remember, brother."

The two little ones responded in unison.

Huo Lang nodded and said "Yeah" and waved his hand to let the two little ones go and do what they were supposed to do.

Sanae returned to the front yard and continued to feed the chickens, while Hegu saw that his eldest brother's expression had softened, and then he stuck it on Huo Lang's thigh like a plaster and raised his head to act as a pendant, "Brother, do you like Si Ningning?"

?”

"You must like Si Ningning, otherwise you wouldn't have given her lotus pods yesterday. Unexpected, right? I've seen it all." He Gu looked proud.

The next second, Huo Lang picked him up and pushed him down in front of his knees. He slapped his butt twice, "You learned to listen to the corner at a young age, right?"

Huo Lang pretended to be angry, "You are a boy, and you are not an inquisitive little wife. Why are you so shameless?"

"I didn't eavesdrop. You didn't find a secluded place to find Si Ningning. I went to look for Si Ningning and I saw you at a glance." Hegu kicked his legs to resist, "And what's the use of having a face? Brother, you are better than me.

Si Ningning is so much older and is already an old man, what else is there to be embarrassed about? You should be shameless, because if you are shameless, you will not be able to ask Si Ningning to be your wife!"

What to do in a secluded place?

He just gave Si Ningning a lotus pod on the way, and it wasn't really a tryst...

Hearing Hegu's words become more and more out of tune, Huo Lang slapped his butt twice again, "Damn boy, where did you learn these words? Let's talk about it next time, I hope I won't slap you?"

!”

He Gu honestly rested, and after he broke free from Huo Lang's lap and ran out of the kitchen, he straightened his back and said loudly: "You always said that Sanmiao and I should listen to Si Ningning, then why don't you marry her back?"

?If she were my sister-in-law, I would not only listen to her, I would also honor her, and I would honor her with Sanae!"

Seeing his eldest brother shaking his head from side to side and pulling at the firewood stick in his hand, Hegu quickly covered his butt and jumped away.

"Smelly boy."

Huo Lang cursed, then sighed softly, got up and went back to the room to dig out a tin box from under the broken wardrobe.

Huo Lang sat by the bed and opened the lid of the tin box. In addition to a few one-inch photos that were yellowed and corroded by mildew, there was also a small book and several bundles of money notes.

Holang never thought about marrying and having children.

He couldn't accept the burden on his shoulders, and he couldn't bear to ask another woman to accompany him through hardships and bear the psychological burden together.

not to mention……

That girl is only sixteen or seventeen, not even a woman.

Huo Lang frowned deeply, took out a bunch of money bills and put it into his pocket, then turned around and picked up the group photo inside and looked at it for a long time, finally closed the lid and put it back to its original place.

After leaving the room, he found a hatchet and put it in his backpack. Huo Lang packed up some other things. After giving Hegu and Sanae a few words, he took the backpack and water bottle and set off to the team.

On the other side, Si Ningning had finished her work at the pig pen and was heading to the warehouse. On the way, she unexpectedly met Huo Lang, who was coming to pick up farm tools.

The two looked at each other for a second, nodded tacitly and walked into the warehouse yard together:

"Uncle Hongfa, I'll get the hoe."

"Uncle, I'm here to get the bean seeds."
