Chapter 185 Daughter-in-law

Zhao Hongbing arrived not long ago and just finished listening to He Gu singing.

Zhao Hongbing has noticed the recent changes in the little girls and boys on the team, and he is actually very happy to see such a scene.

Educated youths can do a "handy" thing, and girls and boys can also learn some skills.

This guy... still needs to know how to read.

"Second uncle!"

"Uncle Hongbing."

"Uncle~"

When the little carrot heads saw Zhao Hongbing, they greeted him one after another.

Zhao Hongbing laughed "haha" twice, his face softened and he waved his hands, "You sing your song."

As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the shade.

The children continued to do their own business.

There are only about a dozen lines in this song. After Hegu sang it several times, other little carrot heads gradually began to speak.

The tender voices of children sing about the heroic ancestors, their own future, and the future of the country...

Compared with the common illiterate members, Zhao Hongbing was at least a little more familiar with them. He understood the meaning of the children's songs clearly, and his chest immediately trembled, and the eyes on his dark face couldn't help but turn red.

The old-fashioned rough man held back tears in his eyes...

Zhao Hongbing felt both uncomfortable and relieved.

What makes me sad is thinking of the suffering of the soldiers, but what makes me happy is the strong ambition in the young children's voices.

Zhao Hongbing raised his arms, pretending to wipe away his sweat and wiped away his tears. He took two deep breaths and squatted in front of Hegu, "Chen Hegu."

"What's wrong, Uncle Hongbing?" Hegu's little face wrinkled. Although he had been trying to restrain a series of additional symptoms caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder, the smell of sweat on Zhao Hongbing's body was too strong, and Hegu leaned back, unable to restrain himself from running away.

How did Zhao Hongbing know about this? He grabbed Hegu's shoulder directly and asked, "Who taught you the song you just sang?"

Zhao Hongbing actually had a guess in his mind that Si Ningning was the only one who usually worked at the threshing floor.

Hegu's face turned pale with discomfort, he twisted his neck and looked away, and said in a stuttering voice: "Si Ningning, Si Ningning taught me."

"That's outrageous. Instead of calling me sister, you should call me Si Zhiqing." Zhao Hongbing patted He Gu on the head.

Later, he revealed that he wanted to take the grain back and write down the lyrics.

Seeing that his second brother's face was not good, Sanae handed over the paper with the lyrics in his hand, "Uncle Hongbing, I have some ready-made ones here. Take this... Let go of second brother. Second brother is not feeling well."

Got it!"

Only then did Zhao Hongbing see clearly that He Gu's little face was pale and there were heavy drops of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Zhao Hongbing sat down Hegu and waved his palms to fan Hegu, "Are you still suffering from heatstroke?"

Sanae knew that her second brother did not suffer from heatstroke, but she didn't know how to explain the specific cause.

With a small body and unable to squeeze through the big Zhao Hongbing, Sanae simply walked around to one side and pulled He Gu aside, "Uncle Hongbing, please remember to return it to me after reading this. Let's go home for dinner!"

She put the paper into Zhao Hongbing's hand with her little hand, and Sanmiao pulled Hegu and ran home.

After leaving the threshing floor, Hegu sat under the shade of a tree and took a few breaths, his complexion gradually recovering.

Sanae squatted in front of him, put her chin in her hands and asked: "Second brother, are you feeling better?"

He Gu nodded.

Sanae asked again: "Then shall we go home? Or go back to the threshing floor?"

It's still a while before work ends.

"Of course I'm going home!" Hegu stood up, raised his fist and walked in front, "Let's go quickly, I'm already hungry."

"good!"

The two little ones were full of excitement and eagerness, and ran home one after the other.

On the other side, at Zhao Hongbing's house, Chen Lianmi was busy making lunch. She came in and out several times to see Zhao Hongbing sitting at the table, keeping the same posture and staring at a page. Finally, she couldn't help but stepped forward and pushed, "What are you looking at?"

Are you so careful? Are there flowers or buds on it? Why don't you get in?"

Zhao Hongbing said "tsk" with a straight face, "Have you seen this? It was written by Si Zhiqing."

Chen Lianmi became a little interested when she heard that it was related to Si Ningning. Unfortunately, she couldn't read and could only wait for Zhao Hongbing to continue talking.

"What is written here is: Don't be afraid of wind and snow, the Chinese people bleed without shedding tears..." Zhao Hongbing held his rough fingers against the words one by one and said them to Chen Lianmi. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Do you think the writing is good?"

Before Chen Lianmi could speak, Zhao Hongbing slapped the table, "It's so good!"

"..." Chen Lianmi felt that it was strange. She turned around and wanted to go back to the kitchen to continue her work, but her arm was grabbed by Zhao Hongbing: "You are talking about yourself, but others are saying this! Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Zhao Hongbing swept away his previous depression and discomfort, and started a ten-minute one-man show with a shiny face:

"I think this educated youth is really good and a good role model. What do you think?"

"Have you seen the changes in the girls and boys on the team recently? Zhao Guangzhu stopped me this morning. What do you think he said?"

"The educated youth I met was so good at teaching his grandson, who was as dumb as a pig's head, that he can now write two characters!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Si Zhiqing is really amazing!" Zhao Hongbing praised him, then pursed his lips and shook his head deeply, "You said that there were seven other educated youths who were thrown away by our team, how come it was Si Zhiqing?

What about the top students? You can also teach reading while working, so there is no delay!"

"I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

Chen Lianmi glanced at the big black hand holding her arm and said in her heart: I won't listen, can you do it? Are you willing?

Zhao Hongbing didn't really ask Chen Lianmi what he meant, he just wanted someone to listen to what he was saying.

"As we get older, whether we know how to read or not is a matter of life. But the younger generation is different. They still have to study and learn to read. As long as they are educated, they will be energetic in everything they do, and they will be twice as successful."

As he said that, Zhao Hongbing mentioned Si Ningning again, "Let's just say Si is an educated youth. They are educated. They also feed rice bran and are well-trained in the production team. They can feed the pigs until they are white and fat.

"

"Just tell me, is this your ability?" Zhao Hongbing curled up his big hands, raised his arms and waved them in the air, asking impassionedly, no...

In other words, it is more appropriate to say that he is seeking Chen Lianmi's approval.

Chen Lianmi has always been attracted to Si Ningning, just look at how she treats Si Ningning.

Chen Lianmi felt quite comfortable listening to Zhao Hongbing's compliment, "Okay, I understand what you mean, and I think so too. We want to go together, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter and keep it safe." Chen Lianmi smiled and stroked Zhao Hongbing's hand away, then turned and went to the kitchen.

"Can you do it? How can you do it? Do you have an idea?" Zhao Hongbing's black face wrinkled into chrysanthemums in confusion, and he followed him to the kitchen, "Can you tell me?"

"Is this still difficult to handle? I'll go to town early tomorrow morning to call the boss back. I'll go there early and see if I can grab some meat. At noon or afternoon, I'll find an excuse to call Si Zhiqing over for a meal.

, let them both..."

"Stop, stop, stop, what are you talking about?!" Zhao Hongbing waved his hands repeatedly, and the curious look on his face was instantly replaced by speechlessness, "What does this have to do with the boss? If you don't know, don't get involved! It's like being on a blind date.

…”

"What?" This time it was Chen Lianmi's turn to be surprised, "You praised Si Zhiqing as a flower, didn't you want Si Zhiqing to be your daughter-in-law?"

"Son, daughter-in-law? What the hell are you talking about?" Zhao Hongbing suddenly exploded when he realized what Chen Lianmi was thinking, "When the hell did I say that?!"

"I'm telling you, you damn bitch, you're not allowed to have that idea!" Zhao Hongbing stood at the door of the kitchen and slapped the door panel with a big slap, "How can I say that she is also a girl from the city? This matter

If word gets out, and people in this village meet every day, what will people think of me? Will I be shameless?"

Educated youths all come from various cities, but Si Ningning is different. She comes from the capital. She is beautiful, educated, capable of work, and excels in everything.

If word of this gets out, even if Si Ningning doesn't say anything, people from a whole village will poke Zhao Hongbing in his spine.

Zhao Hongbing had already made a prediction about whether he had planned ahead, picked the best, and struck first to gain advantage.

Chen Lianmi originally thought that Zhao Hongbing had the same idea as her, but now after listening to Zhao Hongbing's words, she realized that she might have misunderstood.

But even so, Chen Lianmi couldn't listen to Zhao Hongbing's words.

Nailing the kitchen knife on the chopping board, Chen Lianmi said angrily: "Yes, Si Zhiqing is good at everything, but our family Baokang is not bad either! Not to mention our brigade, look at some of the other brigade's

How many people like Baokang can enter the rubber factory?"

"Who in the ten miles and eight villages doesn't envy you, Zhao Hongbing? Who doesn't praise your son's ability?"

"With an iron rice bowl and a salary of more than ten yuan a month, if Si Zhiqing follows Baokang, he won't have to endure hardship... Why is he not worthy of Si Zhiqing, and should he be slandered like this by you?!"

"Si Zhiqing didn't even say whether it was okay or not, but you already disliked her. Are there any fathers like you?"

"Why do I dislike Baokang? Oh, I don't support this because I dislike it?" Zhao Hongbing walked a few steps towards the table angrily with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to explain everything clearly.

"You damn bitch, are you still being reasonable?"

Reasonable?

Let alone being reasonable, Chen Lianmi didn't even want to talk.

He took off his apron, threw it on the table, turned around and left the kitchen.

Zhao Hongbing let out a "tsk", followed behind and grabbed her arm, "You bitch, I'm just going to tell you a few words, why are you running away? Where are you going if you don't cook after this?"

"Still cooking?" Chen Lianmi shook off Zhao Hongbing's hand and rolled her eyes with a sullen face, "I'll be your mother's dog basket. Go ahead and eat shit!"

"Oh you!"

Zhao Hongbing also got up, and seeing the two of them arguing more and more loudly, a creaking sound suddenly came from the door of the hall. The couple looked over and saw Zhao Guangzhu, who was on the team, standing with his back to the door.

The corner of Zhao Guangzhu's mouth twitched, "Captain, I, I came at a bad time, I, I'll come later..."

"Zhao Guangzhu, what's the matter with you? Come in and tell me something."

"That's right! It's not the time, come on in and sit down! It's so hot outside... If you have something to say, I'll get you some water!"

The couple who were still pulling each other a second ago let go of each other for a brief moment. They both calmed down at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

They were quarreling at home, and in front of outsiders, both Zhao Hongbing and his wife wanted to make each other look decent.

"Hey, hey! Okay!" Zhao Guangzhu scratched his head in embarrassment and walked into the house.

There was humming and whispering chatter from Zhao Hongbing's house, while on the other side, in the soybean field two miles away from the production team, Si Ningning and Huo Lang were preparing for lunch.

It wasn't too early for him to come out. By the time Huo Lang finished hoeing the grass and cleaning the gutters, the sun had already turned overhead and a scorching heat wave hit his face, causing the scenery in front of him to become slightly distorted.

Huo Lang took off his straw hat and rolled up the brim of his hat to fan himself while walking towards the shade of the stream.

When he arrived at the stream, he stepped directly into the stream with his long legs, scooped up water and washed his face twice. He stretched his arms and didn't mean to rest for a while. He straightened up and rushed into Si Ningning's arms, "Let's go."

Bar."

"Where to go?"

"Looking for a place to eat."

"oh!"

Si Ningning glanced at the humid environment by the stream, without hesitation, carefully got off the swing, and took Huo Lang's hand to reach the shore.

Huo Lang threaded the basket and the rope on the hoe handle, put the hoe handle on one shoulder, and waited with the basket and bamboo basket.

After Si Ningning put on her shoes, Huo Lang turned around and walked ahead.

"Have you often worked here before?" Si Ningning swung her ponytail and trotted behind her, "It looks like you are very familiar with this place."

"I've been here a few times." Huo Lang responded in a deep voice, "There used to be a lot of wild boars in the area around the mountains, so I often patrolled the mountains, and I got a rough idea of ​​the topography during my visits."

"So that's it."

There are many vegetation in the mountains, as well as cicadas and birds. In addition, there are many bees and butterflies.

Under the bright sun, the bees and butterflies were not afraid of the heat, and were hovering around the wild flowers on both sides of the trail.

Si Ningning followed Huo Lang through it, and from time to time he would stretch out his hands to try to catch the butterflies that were disturbed and flying in the air.

"There are so many bees here, can we find honey in the mountains?"

"Occasionally you can come across it, but if you look for it deliberately, you may not be able to find it."

Bees are also very particular about building their nests, and they have wings. Sometimes they build a nest on a cliff, and even if you see the bright honey, you may not be able to pick it off.

Si Ningning pursed her pink lips and said "Oh", then she thought of something and asked: "Then can you catch the rabbit? Uh... not the one with a blunderbuss like last time, I mean a live one, little one"

of."

"Or tell me how I can catch him?"

Huo Lang glanced sideways at her, "Want to eat it, or keep it for fun?"

"I want to take care of it."

The little rabbit is so cute and has almost no meat. It is definitely not caught and eaten.

Si Ningning wanted to be raised in the space, but in front of Huo Lang, she couldn't say it directly, so she could only ask politely: "Does the production team allow it?"

"Rabbits generally eat grass, just like raising chickens, with a limited number."

That means it can be raised!?

Si Ningning's crescent eyebrows had just raised when she heard Huo Lang say again: "But we can't find any domesticated rabbits now. We can't hunt the ones in the mountains at will. Do you understand?"

After all, it still doesn't work.

"...I know." Si Ningning sighed wilfully.

Huo Lang's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the halo of his peach blossom eyes was swaying. He didn't say much on his face but kept the matter in his heart.
