Chapter 214 No confidence

Sanae, who had been silent, watched this scene, then turned to look at her second brother. Seeing that his second brother looked very bad, Sanae pursed her lips and looked at Si Ningning as if pleading, "Sister..."

Si Ningning frowned and glanced over, more or less sternly, "Sanae eat by yourself first."

Sanae was a little frightened and lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

Si Ningning was a little sorry, but there was nothing she could do about it. Hegu's current situation was already very difficult, and she could no longer let other factors affect Hegu's heart.

Si Ningning withdrew her gaze and turned to Hegu again. She nodded encouragingly. Hegu shook his shoulders and sobbed twice. His sleeves swept horizontally across his forehead and stained his forehead with a wet stain. His eyes were blank and he did not dare to look carefully at the bowl in front of him, as if to cope with it.

I picked it randomly with chopsticks, closed my eyes and stuffed it into my mouth.

However, there was the delicious flavor of bamboo fungus and noodle soup in his mouth. He Gu was surprised to find that he didn't feel like vomiting like before.

Hegu's little face was stunned. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the smiling face of his boss Ningning. Before he could react, he heard Si Ningning's gentle voice: "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

He Gu looked at Si Ningning's gentle face and nodded slowly, "Yeah".

Si Ningning continued to encourage: "Then... have you eaten all this bowl today? When you finish, you will be rewarded."

"Um...ok." Hegu agreed, but not because of the so-called reward.

Although he questioned whether it was because he had closed his eyes just now and couldn't see the bowl, so he didn't feel like vomiting, but for some reason, He Gu had a premonition in his heart.

He felt that maybe it was really like what Si Ningning said...

This time, he can.

He Gu swallowed his throat and slid it up and down twice. He straightened his body and sat upright to pick up the chopsticks. His face flashed with a look of death, but this time, he closed his eyes without any resistance.

Si Ningning sat quietly aside, watching Hegu finish a bowl of noodles. She bowed slightly and wiped away the wetness from the corner of Hegu's mouth, and praised softly with her eyes bent, "Very good, another big step has been taken.

He Gu is a real little man."

He Gu raised his head to look at Si Ningning, his small lips twitched and said nothing, but he couldn't help but puff up his chest, as if in response to Si Ningning's words: "You are right, I am a little man."

He Gu turned his eyes to the empty bowl in front of him, feeling strange in his heart, as if it was really no big deal?

His eyes fell on the small bumps on the edge of the thick bowl. For the first time, Hegu felt that they looked pleasing to the eye. But the more he looked like this, the more confused he felt. So what was he afraid of before?

Just as He Gu was thinking about it, Si Ningning had already stood up and went back to the room to fumble around. In his hand, there were two mini soaps in transparent plastic bags. They were given as gifts when he was stocking up on toiletries.

It's about one-third the size of normal soap.

In addition to the fact that the body of the soap is very white, the packaging is just a simple film plastic bag, which is not obtrusive when taken out. The soaps sold in department stores these days are all packed in cartons or hard plastic bags, and they look more formal.

Si Ningning gave one to each of them, curved his lips and said with a smile: "You two performed very well, this is a reward."

Hegu held the soap in his little hands and asked puzzledly: "What is this?"

"It's soap, um... it's similar to soap, but it's used for washing hands and face, or taking a bath. After using it, your body will be fragrant and smooth." Si Ningning explained carefully.

Hegu said "Oh" and nodded thoughtfully. Sanae blinked and asked, "Sister, can't this be used for washing clothes?"

Si Ningning tilted her head and explained patiently: "Its main function is to clean the skin. It will be worse for washing clothes... Well, it would be better to use soap or soap for washing."

"So there are so many types of soap." Sanae scratched her head, feeling dizzy as she listened.

"Yes, the production team will set up literacy classes in the future. You must study hard. When you go out and see the outside world, you will find that this world is really big and full of wonders."

Si Ningning said slowly, her two little eyes instantly lit up with longing, and she nodded vigorously and said "Yes".

Si Ningning curved her lips and smiled, quickly finishing her bowl of gnocchi. She opened the lunch box that Hegu brought and put all the gnocchi in the pot into the lunch box.

After fastening the lunch box, Si Ningning was worried that the two little ones would run around and burn themselves if they spilled, so she found some hemp rope and tied it overlapping in a tic-tac-toe pattern, leaving an arc buckle for Sanae to carry, "This belt

Back to you big brother, there is no room over there in the pig pen. You two will write at home in the afternoon. Write your names in three pages. After you finish writing, read what I taught you before."

"How many pages is three?" Sanae asked confusedly.

Si Ningning opened the book and scratched it with his hand, "This is one side, this is a page, do you understand?"

"Got it! Both sides are one page!"

"Yes, that's great." Si Ningning pinched Sanmiao's face gently, then waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

The two little ones said goodbye, got off the table and walked back.

When he was about to go out, Hegu held his hand on the threshold and turned around, "Si Ningning!"

"Um?"

"You're awesome!" Hegu praised, scratching the back of his head in confusion for a while, and glanced at the bowl on the table with his mouth bulging, "I'm not afraid anymore."

Hearing He Gu say that she was no longer afraid, Si Ningning was a little startled. After just a moment, she stroked the loose hair behind her ears, waved her palms outward, and said with a very gentle expression and voice: "It's not me.

, it’s you who are great.”

"I don't care, it's just that you are great!" Hegu said nothing and jumped away.

The moment his small body stepped out of the eaves and plunged into the sunlight, his big black grape-like eyes curved into small crescents, and he said "hehehaha" twice, and Hegu's little face showed a cheerful and bright smile that he had never seen before.

Things went very smoothly, even faster than expected.

So good!

The children's voices faded away, and the birds chirped outside the house. Si Ningning's mood changed from sadness to a trace of lightness, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief, showing a faint smile of relief.

After quickly clearing the table and pots, and before other educated youths came back, Si Ningning went to the team to ask Chen Lianmi to borrow a pottery basin.

When she was about to borrow something, Si Ningning stepped out of the courtyard with half a foot of the pottery basin in her hand. She turned around and said to Chen Lianmi who was washing clothes in the yard: "Auntie, if you are not in a hurry to use this pottery basin, just give it to me. Wait.

I'll go back to town next time and buy new ones and give them back to you."

Chen Lianmi waved her hand, "What's a pottery basin worth? You just use it and give it back to me when you're done! Is it worth buying for you?"

"Hey..." Si Ningning bared her teeth and smiled, bright, well-behaved and lovable, "Auntie, to tell you the truth, I borrowed this basin to dye cloth... I need it for dyeing cloth.

I don't worry about tossing some mordant things in the pot. This pot will have to be used as a pot when I take it back. When the bottom is burned black, I will definitely not be able to return it to you."

"Oh, Si Zhiqing, you can also dye cloth!" Chen Lianmi exclaimed for a while, then waved her hand again, "That doesn't matter, just take it back and use it without worry. This basin has been sitting idle at home, so that's it.

I'll use it to decorate after the Chinese New Year, it'll be fine."

Chen Lianmi repeatedly emphasized that for this reason, it would be hypocritical to refuse any more. Si Ningning thought about it and simply said no more. She curved her lips and said thank you, then went back to the educated youth spot with the basin in her arms.

.

They had just built a simple small stove with broken adobe at the entrance of the educated youth point. Si Ningning took the pottery basin and put it on it. She pressed the edge of the pot with both hands to test whether it was stable. Behind her, intermittent voices came from the side of the room.

At first glance, I saw educated youths walking back from the shadow of the trees.

Jiang Yue's sharp eyes saw Si Ningning at a glance. She said "Wow" and ran towards Si Ningning excitedly, "Are you going to dye the cloth!?"

"Yes." Si Ningning smiled and nodded.

Jiang Yue immediately said: "I'll get the cloth!"

Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun also followed quickly into the house. Three male educated youths stood behind Si Ningning. They looked at the small stove that Si Ningning had set up like a housekeeper and said, "Hey! Si educated youth, you can also dye cloth."

Woolen cloth?!"

"It's either that I don't know how to do it, or I've read about it in books before. This is my first time doing the experiment."

"Oh! So it's just a disguise." Li Lingyuan nodded.

Seeing Jiang Yue and the others coming out with cloth in their hands, Li Lingyuan scratched the bumpy back of his head and asked, "Where did you get the cloth trimmed?"

Xu Shuhua and others all looked at Si Ningning. Si Ningning nodded calmly, and then they explained: "Ning Ning bought it when she went to the county a while ago and ran into a department store for an event. She bought a roll.

Give us some."

Li Lingyuan nodded knowingly, and when he heard that Si Ningning still had a lot of cloth left, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't know how to sew, otherwise I would buy some too!"

As soon as Li Lingyuan finished speaking, he saw Mo Bei squatting down beside Si Ningning, "How much cloth is left? I want it."

Si Ningning's crescent eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she tilted her head to look at Mo Bei in confusion.

"Silly."

On the other side, Song Shuhan laughed and scolded Li Lingyuan, followed Mo Bei and squatted down on the other side of Si Ningning, "Si Zhiqing, I want it too."

Si Ningning turned to look at Song Shuhan again, her eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, "Can you two sew clothes?"

"We don't know how, but we can ask female educated youth comrades to help." Song Shuhan pushed up his round glasses and turned to look at Xu Shuhua and others.

Jiang Yue's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Song Shuhan would find Song Xiaoyun and cause Song Xiaoyun to relapse, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "I'll help you!"

"Thank you." Song Shuhan smiled and nodded, then turned his eyes back to Si Ningning, "Si Zhiqing."

Si Ningning gave a light "tsk" and nodded: "Okay then."

Li Lingyuan also reacted and quickly raised his hand: "Well, Si Educated Youth, how many do you have? I want it too, okay?"

Si Ningning's mouth twitched, "If you don't want much...well, it should be enough."

A group of people didn't want to eat anymore and urged Si Ningning to cut cloth.

Si Ningning had no choice but to put down what she was doing, go into the house and push aside the mosquito net. She leaned forward slightly to unlock the rattan box, took out the wool rope and the remaining cloth, and folded the mosquito net. Si Ningning squatted down again.

He lowered his body and pulled out the washbasin under the bed and handed it to Jiang Yue, "The pomegranate peels are on the windowsill. You take them and put them in a pottery basin to cook. Fill this basin with a basin of water. Soak the cloth to be dyed in water first. I'll do it in a moment.

Come."

"Okay!" Jiang Yue took the basin and turned around quickly, swinging her pigtails. Song Xiaoyun followed behind with the potatoes steamed in the morning, "I'll go too!"

Si Ningning smiled lightly and shook the cloth out on the table in the main room, "This is fine linen material. According to the price I bought it, the average price is three minutes and eighty feet. How much do you want?"

"Alas..." Li Lingyuan scratched his head, "How much do you need to make a piece of clothing?"

"It depends on what it is made of. The width (width) of this cloth is 110cm. According to the body size of a lesbian, one foot of cloth can be pieced together to make a half-sleeved suit. For gay men, it will not be enough. If you want to make long sleeves, you need to estimate

Two feet."

Li Lingyuan nodded and said: "Well, then I want two feet!"

Song Shuhan followed: "Excuse me, Si Zhiqing, I also want two feet."

"Okay." Si Ningning nodded and turned to Mo Bei, who was sitting across the table and looked up at her, "What about you?"

"Four feet."

Song Shuhan first glanced at Si Ningning, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Bei, "Are you going to replace the two?"

Mo Bei nodded lightly.

Si Ningning smiled clearly, there wasn't much, and quickly started to measure the fabric. After measuring it, he asked Li Lingyuan and Song Shuhan to stretch the two sides. Si Ningning opened the small scissors and made a "stab" sound from beginning to end, "

This is two feet long."

Then, by analogy, the cloth was quickly cut. Si Ningning rolled up the remaining small roll of cloth and was about to go back to the room. Mo Bei suddenly called her, "Si Ningning."

"Um?"

Mo Bei stood up slowly, his eyes burning, "I...can I entrust you to help make clothes?"

"Huh?" Si Ningning's eyes suddenly widened.

Entrust her?

".."

She is still a noob!

Si Ningning squeezed the roll of cloth in embarrassment and was sewing Xu Shuhua out of the kitchen. Si Ningning saw a savior and said, "I, I'm not good at this either. You... why don't you ask Shuhua?"

Xu Shuhua just took a bite of the potato when she was suddenly called upon. She choked and rolled her eyes. She tried hard to swallow the potato and asked blankly: "What? What are you asking me for?"

"Mo Bei is looking for someone to help make clothes. I can't do it, but can you? If you can..."

Before Si Ningning finished speaking, Xu Shuhua had already raised her hand and said, "No, no, no, I can't do it."

Xu Shuhua was also a little embarrassed and said sheepishly: "If you make shoes or something, I can help you, but I can't make clothes."

Xu Shuhua only wanted two feet of cloth so she could make two menstrual belts. She would keep the rest for now and see if it gets cold here in the winter. If it does, she would then think about making a pair of thicker cloth shoes.

Even if she is making clothes, Xu Shuhua only wants to make a living and wear them by herself. It doesn't matter if they are a little bit awkward, but she really doesn't have the courage to make them for others!

What's more, the person making clothes now is Mo Bei.

Mo Bei's consular ability belongs to consular ability, but his personality is really too cold. Xu Shuhua also feels that he is not easy to get close to and get along with. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xu Shuhua does not want to have anything to do with Mo Bei in this matter.
