Chapter 183 Children

Zhao Hongfa walked out of the door and saw Si Ningning and Huo Lang coming together. He immediately laughed and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, isn't it? You two come together."

"Yeah, uncle."

Huo Lang's heart was agitated by He Gu, and he was so conflicted that he responded without saying a word.

Looking at Si Ningning on the side, he always had a family smile on his face, and said openly: "Comrade Huo Lang and I were assigned to the same place, and we happened to meet each other on the way... This is good, it saves me having to look for him again.

He got it."

"This arrangement is good, the captain must have considered it." Zhao Hongfa chuckled.

During this period, the kitten brought back a few days ago kept spinning around Zhao Hongfa's feet, almost tripping him several times.

Three cats are kept here in the warehouse. The one who usually stays in the warehouse the most is Zhao Hongfa. Naturally, these three cats are the closest to him.

Afraid of stepping on them, Zhao Hongfa simply bowed down, picked them up, and placed them on the desk where he was writing.

The table was about 80 centimeters high, and the three cats were not very big. They stood beside the table and called Zhao Hong "meow" and "meow" for a while.

Si Ningning walked over and scratched the kitten's neck, and the kitten began to purr. "Uncle, have you named these three cats?"

"Haha, here they are, the captain gave them to them, rhubarb, big flowers, and big black. You can recognize them by looking at the colors on their backs." Zhao Hongfa first brought a hoe to Huo Lang, and then went to get a scale for Si Ningning.

Calling Beuzhong, "This boy is down-to-earth and easy to feed."

Si Ningning nodded. In this day and age, she didn't expect the production team leader to be famous.

Zhao Hongfa concentrated on the work at hand, and at the same time continued the topic, "The captain has been chosen well. Alang is reliable. If it were another boy, let alone the captain's arrangements, I wouldn't be able to give you this seed today."

.”

As he spoke, he laughed again.

"Haha, yes." Si Ningning glanced at Huo Lang awkwardly, laughed in agreement, and said nothing.

Taking the two kilograms of bean seeds that Zhao Hongfa weighed, Si Ningning and Huo Lang stepped out of the yard one after another. Zhao Hongfa followed two steps behind and shouted in a high voice: "Si Zhiqing, the bag containing the bean seeds is the same as the rice bran bag. Repeat

Take advantage of... remember to bring it back to me after you finish your work in the afternoon."

"I know, uncle!"

Walking out of the alley, Si Ningning handed the bag of bean seeds to Huo Lang, then turned sideways and put the basket behind him.

Originally, he wanted Huo Lang to help him put it into the basket on his back, but in the end, Huo Lang put it directly into the basket on his side.

Before he could see the weight on his back, Si Ningning turned his head curiously and saw Huo Lang's movements in one go.

Si Ningning's cheeks bulged, her crescent eyebrows slightly raised, and after just a moment she followed Huo Lang's side happily.

Although the two walked side by side, they always kept a step away from each other. As a result, when Si Ningning spoke, he would always subconsciously turn to Huo Lang's side and ask, "Should I also get a hoe?"

"No need." Huo Lang's voice was dull, "Your task is to sow bean seeds."

"All right……"

Si Ningning said "Oh", and neither of them spoke after that.

It had been quiet for more than ten minutes, when everyone from the production team walked to the forest path leading to the soybean field.

The black cloth shoes stepped on the broken astigmatism diaphragms scattered on the dead branches and leaves. Si Ningning finally couldn't help it. She turned her head and looked at Huo Lang, "Are you in a bad mood? Why haven't you spoken?"

Huo Lang slowed down for half a beat, but Si Ningning simply stopped and continued to ask: "Do you regret it? Are you not willing to bring me here?"

"..." Huo Lang lowered his eyes and looked at Si Ningning.

The little girl's crescent eyebrows were tangled and wrinkled, and her pair of dark and clear eyes were looking straight at him, straightforward and candid, just waiting for his answer.

Si Ningning is indeed young, but she is a lesbian after all, and she cannot treat Hegu and the others the same way.

It was nothing at first, but due to the commotion in Hegu in the morning, Huo Lang always felt a little uncomfortable getting along with Si Ningning. He felt that such a place to be alone seemed a bit inappropriate.

But as the words rolled around on his tongue, Huo Lang turned his head and looked to the side, spitting out two words that were completely opposite to what he thought, "No."

"If not, then why don't you look at me and answer?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a line suddenly popped into Si Ningning's mind:

You say that all four elements are empty, but you close your eyes tightly. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty...

From the 87 edition of Journey to the West, from the mouth of the king of the daughter country.

It was just a normal conversation at first, but Si Ningning forgot a few things. Subtle changes had taken place the night he returned from the county.

When she realized it, she suddenly stopped talking.

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

At this moment, Huo Lang turned around, stared at her with his deep peach blossom eyes, and repeated his previous answer: "I said, no."

The two of them were actually a little awkward and awkward, but after all, Huo Lang was a man and would not wait for Si Ningning to take the initiative to resolve the embarrassment when she was embarrassed, so he quickly looked away and raised his chin forward to indicate that he should continue.

Walk.

After a while, he took the initiative to introduce the situation near the soybean field to Si Ningning:

"To get there, you have to pass a small stream. The wide part is more than ten meters, and the narrow part is five or six meters. The water level is about the calf... I will need slippers soon."

"good."

Si Ningning nodded. After her eyes were diverted, her whole body returned to her usual appearance. She listened carefully to what Huo Lang said and nodded in response from time to time.

"The terrain is pretty good. There are trees and streams next to it. It's very cool. There's also an Albizia julibrissin tree between the stream and the fields. If you calculate the time, it's the flowering period... It's almost the same as when I went to the mountains before. There are still many trees around.

There are many shrubs and flowers.”

It was rare for Huo Lang to say a lot in one breath. Finally, he stopped to catch his breath. He glanced at Si Ningning's smooth side face calmly, his Adam's apple rolled and he looked away. He added in a contradictory yet calm manner:

"You can pick some if you like."

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, noticing a slight change in Huo Lang from before. She put her fist to her lips and smiled softly, "Okay."

Moyo walked forward for another half hour, and the creek that Huo Lang mentioned finally appeared in front of him.

Si Ningning originally thought that he would cross it horizontally like the small river he crossed before going to the countryside, but it was not the case.

According to Holang, they had to walk upstream about two hundred meters against the current.

"Is this the only piece of land nearby? The scorer only gave me a small amount of bean seeds. The land shouldn't be big, right?" Si Ningning took off his shoes and socks and rolled up his trouser legs.

It’s only two points of land at most, and the geographical location is so remote. Even if we give up and open a new land near the production team, it will be more suitable than this, right?

"In the past, there was land all the way from the production team. This area is close to the hillside. There were heavy rains for several days in the past two years, and the top collapsed, and only this small area is left." Huo Lang took the lead.

He lifted up his trousers and stepped into the water, "This land is next to a forest, and the dead branches and leaves are fertile. In addition, there is a water source next to it. Apart from the occasional need to come over to weed, there is basically no need to take care of it... so this land has been kept until now."

"So that's it..." Si Ningning nodded in understanding.

The water in the creek is very clear, and groups of small fish are clearly visible in it. From this, it can be inferred that the water quality is also excellent.

But because almost no one came here, many rocks at the bottom were covered with slippery aquatic plants or moss. Si Ningning stepped in with bare feet. At first, she felt the coolness of the stream was very comfortable, and then she slipped several times.

Twice he stepped on moss, once he stepped over a stone, and once he tripped over a stone. Each time, Huo Lang reached out in time to catch Si Ningning who was about to fall into the water.

Ever since, holding hands seemed to have become a matter of course.

"When you walk, curl your toes a little to avoid slipping." Huo Lang reminded in a deep voice.

Si Ningning curled up her toes as she was told, not to mention that she needed to be more steady when walking.

Huo Lang held Si Ningning with one hand and held the hoe with the other.

As the two walked along the stream, the trees on both sides gradually became taller and thicker, and the tree crowns seemed to reach straight into the sky.

The mottled light and shadow seemed to be solid, and countless light golden light pillars slanted down from the green branches and leaves, or were scattered on the stones emerging from the water in the stream, or fell directly into the stream covered with white flowers.

It is a very ordinary scene, but it is as beautiful as a painting, making people feel peaceful.

The last time Si Ningning had this feeling was when she was sixteen years old.

I was on a birthday vacation in Australia. I was diving one evening and accidentally saw the waves rolling up under the sunset from the bottom of the sea. At one time, Si Ningning thought that it was the most beautiful scenery she had seen in the past sixteen years.

…

In the evening, the light blue water appears clear and green under the setting sun.

The warm orange light overlapped with the blue waves, and the small blisters stirred up by the waves were like scattered starlight. For a brief moment, it truly healed Si Ningning's heart that was neglected by her father.

Seeing that Si Ningning kept looking up at the tree crown ahead, thinking that Si Ningning was looking for the Albizia Julibrissin tree, Huo Lang reminded: "You can see it if you walk further ahead."

"good."

Si Ningning nodded, thinking that what Huo Lang said was that if you go a little further, you can see the soybean field.

After walking up the stream for more than fifty meters, the cool light gradually became clearer. A tree with its neck crooked near the water on the right bank attracted Si Ningning's attention.

It's the acacia tree that Huo Lang mentioned.

The trunk of the Albizia Julibrissin tree is thick, with cracked bark that appears black and gray. The leaves are lush and green under the sun, and on the tips of the green leaves are clusters of pink fluffy small brush-like Albizia Julibrissin flowers.

The Albizia Julibrissin tree is not really a crooked-necked tree, but has an arm-thick branch extending horizontally toward the water. The first impression you get when you see it is that its center of gravity is tilted toward the water.

"We're here." Huo Lang whispered.

Si Ningning said "hmm", took his hand, and was brought ashore by him.

After landing, Si Ningning began to look at the soybean fields again.

The stream is on the left side of the soybean field, surrounded by trees. The soybean field is like the rope bridge that we walked over before. It is the only place shrouded in sunlight in this moist and cool forest.

Something else must have been planted before. You can vaguely see the shallow pits left by pulling out crop plants on the ground. In addition, there are some scattered weeds with pink or white flowers.

Si Ningning put down the basket on his back.

There was food in the basket, which she had wrapped in oil paper in advance. Worried about attracting ants, she walked a few steps on tiptoes and hung the basket on a small tree on one side.

Afterwards, Si Ningning sat down on the grassy ridge at the end of the field. He wiped the dirt off his feet and put on his shoes and socks, "Do we need to pull out the grass first?"

The ground is full of weeds that are more than ten centimeters long. Si Ningning has seen that the land here is soft and can be uprooted in just a small area.

"There's not much grass here, I'll just go through it a little bit." Holang unloaded the load and took a small bundle of rope from his backpack before starting work. "I don't need you now. I'll dig a hole later and need to plant beans."

Call you again."

Si Ningning nodded and stared blankly at the rope in his hand, "But aren't we growing soybeans? Why do you bring the rope?"

"I'll give you some fun, or else you'll just stand here while I work?"

Si Ningning stared.

What are you standing around for?

She's not stupid, why can't she find something to do?

Huo Lang sighed and shook his head, searching around for dead tree trunks as thick as a baby's forearm.

When Si Ningning saw this, she followed Huo Lang to look for him.

"That's enough." Holang quickly stopped and squatted in front of the piled tree trunks. He pressed them one by one to test whether they were strong. After picking out some rotten wood that was about to rot, Holang put the rope on his arm and climbed up.

Albizia tree.

"Be careful!" Si Ningning warned worriedly under the tree.

Although the tree trunk is thick enough to support Holang's weight, the humidity in this area is very high, and there are traces of moss crawling on the surrounding trees and stones. If you are not careful, you will slip.

If you fall from a tree, no matter how high or low you are, it will be unpleasant.

"I got it." Huo Lang stepped on the fork of the tree trunk and moved forward, making a strong lock on the trunk of the Albizia Julibrissin tree that extended to the river.

After estimating the length of the rope, Holang wrapped it around the tree trunk a few more times, and then jumped down from the tree as nimbly as a cheetah.

He gathered the tree trunk he had just picked up and tied it up at both ends of the rope. Gradually, the outline of a swing near the water emerged.

As soon as Huo Lang let go, the seat, which was wrapped with ropes and made into a tree trunk, swung toward the water.

"Try?" Huo Lang raised a sharp eyebrow and looked back at Si Ningning.

Si Ningning's head shook inaudibly, her crescent eyebrows furrowed, and she took a deep look at Huo Lang with her deer eyes. Even though she was uncertain, she still walked over obediently.

Huo Lang stepped into the water, took out the swing rope and handed it to Si Ningning.

Si Ningning grasped the rope and tried it twice. Each time when she was about to put her weight on the swing, she hesitated and took it back.

The swing seat is suspended above the water, about sixty or seventy centimeters away from the water, and nearly two meters away from the shore.

If something went wrong, he would fall into the water. Si Ningning was a little afraid.

Huo Lang realized that Si Ningning could not climb up the swing, whether from the shore or into the water. He frowned briefly and said, "Wait a moment."

As he spoke, he did not go ashore, but waded directly to the other side. He pushed over the large rocks that emerged from the water around him, and built a stone path from the shore to the bottom of the swing.
