Chapter 225 Failure is the mother of success~~

"Also, if you need anything else, you can come to the team and talk to me...not just about mushrooms, if you have other ideas in the future, you can also go to the team and talk to me, Si Zhiqing, you

But don’t be polite!”

Si Ningning laughed and rubbed his face, "Haha... Captain, don't worry, let's see what's going on with me first."

As she spoke, Si Ningning glanced at Huo Lang, frowning and winking. Fortunately, the latter was not stupid and understood what she meant.

"Uncle, let me deliver the things to Si Zhiqing first, and then I'll clean up here when I get back." Huo Lang took a long step forward, and picked up a thick rotten wood stake in each hand with his left and right arms.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongbing forgot what he wanted to say just now, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go first, there are enough people here, you don't have to worry. Send all the wooden lumps to the educated youth center first."

Huo Lang nodded and said "hmm", raised his chin and let Si Ningning walk in front, and the two of them headed to the educated youth spot one after the other.

As they rounded the corner of the old house, the path gradually became wider. The two of them walked side by side. During this period, Si Ningning sighed, "This place will be more lively in the future."

"And do you know? I have already cultivated a lot of strains through the mushrooms I picked last time. Now I just need to experiment... It will take three days at the earliest to bring these wood back, and it will take about seven days at a slower time to see whether it is successful.

Already."

Three to five to seven days old, as long as the temperature and humidity are right, mushrooms can grow. It's just a matter of size.

Si Ningning is very confident.

After finishing his words, there was no response for a long time. Si Ningning turned her head and looked at Huo Lang, wondering: "Why don't you speak?"

Huo Lang glanced at Si Ningning with a "you know it yourself" expression. He looked away for only two seconds. He stopped and looked at Si Ningning again: "I'm actually not very busy."

"Ah?" Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, her head filled with questions, "What?"

Huo Lang continued: "You didn't come to see me two days ago. Is it because you found someone else to weave baskets for you?"

"Huh? That..."

Si Ningning was speechless for a while, but she also realized the reason for Huo Lang's abnormality.

It was the time when he gave her bamboo shoots a few days ago. At that time, Mo Bei was knitting a bamboo net bag for her. Before that, Si Ningning was worried that troubling Huo Lang would delay Huo Lang's personal affairs.

I tried to do it myself, but failed, and was later taken over by Mo Bei...

Before weaving a net bag, Mo Bei also helped her weave a bamboo basket. After careful calculation, it seemed that she had not seen Huo Lang for a few days.

When Si Ningning recalled it, he hesitated and could not utter actual words. It was during this brief moment that Huo Lang felt his heart feel heavy.

After realizing that he was jealous like a young boy, Huo Lang realized that something was wrong with him.

But when you think about it, he and Si Ningning are nothing now, and they really have no qualifications when it comes to being jealous.

Worried that this matter would bother Si Ningning or cause him to have bad thoughts and feelings, Huo Lang moved his eyes away and gave in with a hoarse voice, "Actually, it's nothing. If you need anything, feel free to come to me at any time."

"If it's inconvenient for you, you can also ask Hegu and Sanae to bring me a message." As he said that, Huo Lang's peach blossom eyes showed a hint of relaxation and softness, and he looked at Si Ningning with a slight smile.

At first glance, she does have a gentle and handsome face. If Si Ningning was really a girl of 16 or 17, she would have indulged in it without hesitation.

But Si Ningning is not.

"Don't look at me with such a fake smile, otherwise, I will misunderstand that you have bad intentions!"

Huo Lang's smile broke instantly.

Si Ningning rolled her eyes at him, held on to the rope of the basket across her chest, withdrew her gaze and walked forward, while saying truthfully: "You usually have a lot of work, you have to be busy with the work of the production team, and you have to go

In the county, recently there was an additional job to go to the brigade to maintain order."

Huo Lang mentioned before that during the off-season, the county would arrange film troupes to patrol various communes. Movies could only be played at night. People from several production teams under the brigade would go there. Too many people would easily lead to trouble. Huo Lang needed to lead people.

Maintain order in the past.

Si Ningning originally thought that Huo Lang only needed to be in charge of the Jiling Brigade, but through Hegu and the others, Si Ningning learned that Huo Lang was actually responsible for a wide range of areas, not only the Jiling Brigade, but also the Zhougang Brigade.

And the Seventh Brigade of Hongqi Commune, which is not too far away from here.

If Huo Lang, like others, was spending a short period of leisure time, Si Ningning could come to him shamelessly and just return the favor from somewhere else. But Huo Lang was really busy.

Even though her skin is as thick as a city wall, she is really embarrassed.

"I originally wanted to do it myself, but I couldn't do it with my clumsiness. When Mo Bei suggested helping me, I thought about it and agreed." Si Ningning said "tsk". Although she knew a lot of things, she was still worried about it in her heart.

I always feel depressed because I hit a wall when weaving baskets.

Huo Lang saw Si Ningning's eyebrows furrowed and his little face wrinkled in displeasure. He knew in his heart that he had thought too much just now, and he was slightly depressed and his mood suddenly improved.

Huo Lang arched his eyebrows slightly and inferred what might have happened from the unhappiness in Ningning's words. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you hurt your hand?"

Si Ningning puffed her lips angrily and nodded unwillingly.

Just for a moment, she turned to look at Huo Lang, straightened her back and defended herself: "After all, it is my first time to do it, so it is normal for the handjob to fail, right? So this is not a funny thing, right?

"

Si Ningning seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he had already come to a conclusion in his mind.

This is normal. Beginners may make mistakes if they just follow the master, let alone someone like her who fumbles on her own.

Si Ningning secretly calculated for several days, and it was only at this moment that she freed herself from the "clumsy" dilemma. She felt better, the depression on her face disappeared, and a smile gradually appeared again.

But when Huo Lang heard that she really hurt her hand, he frowned slightly.

Without answering the question of whether Si Ningning was right or not, Huo Lang seriously asked: "Don't do it yourself next time, let me do it."

Si Ningning didn't say anything, and Huo Lang paused, and his usually low and hoarse voice suddenly raised a decibel, "Did you hear that?"

"Oh, I know, I know!" Si Ningning snorted, glanced at him, and muttered, "I've never seen someone like you, so fierce and eager to be a tool."

"What?" She mumbled so quietly that Huo Lang couldn't hear her clearly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Si Ningning smiled instantly, with a rather playful and flattering expression, "I mean you are such a good person. If I have anything to do in the future, I will come to you!"

Huo Lang's eyebrows slightly raised in pleasure, and he softly said "hmm", believing it to be true.

"But then again, you suddenly mentioned this, are you jealous?"

"..." Huo Lang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he suddenly ran out of words.

Si Ningning leaned forward slightly with her hands behind her back, turned her head and looked at Huo Lang with wide eyes, "No way, right? Did I really guess it?"

Huo Lang avoided talking, changed the subject, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Academician Liang said that rabbits grow fast. Those rabbits should have grown a lot during this time, right? I will make a new cage and send it over in two days.

.”

As he spoke, he had already reached the entrance of the educated youth center. Huo Lang threw two rotten wood piles on the side of the steps and rubbed his forehead with his strong arm. "There are a few more. I'll bring them to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man was already running away as fast as flying.

Si Ningning stood on tiptoes and laughed, "I'm not a tiger, why are you running? Be careful and you trip!"

Huo Lang's footsteps did not stop, but tended to speed up.

Si Ningning shook his head, smiled, and then his smile subsided.

Si Ningning has a good impression of Huo Lang, and of course she can also feel the special way that Huo Lang treats her.

But what to say?

Um……

The current situation is a little bit insignificant when it comes to dating and dating, but when it comes to friends, they are closer than ordinary friends, a bit like the trial period before falling in love...

Si Ningning had also thought that if she really wanted to fall in love, Huo Lang might be her first choice. However, the worries and worries that Huo Lang inadvertently revealed just now were actually unnecessary because they were impossible to happen.

Si Ningning has never been an affectionate person. On the contrary, because of some experiences in her childhood, she knows how difficult it is to maintain a relationship, and how lucky and happy it is to get a 'love', so in terms of relationships,

She is more dedicated than anyone else.

Therefore, regardless of whether the relationship is confirmed or not, she will not and cannot be ambiguous with multiple people.

Even with the girls, Si Ningning has always been very strict with herself in terms of how she behaves. When she realizes that there may be some problems, she will try to give some advice and use clear thinking to help those trapped in the situation.

People have more ideas and more choices, but she won't interfere too much in other matters.

Perhaps it is this excessive self-control and sobriety that makes her seem to be getting along with everyone, but at the same time, it makes everyone feel an inexplicable distance.

Si Ningning knew these words in her heart, but she would not tell Huo Lang.

The two of them are currently in a heart-to-heart phase, and they haven't really communicated with each other yet. These words are superfluous and a bit rushed. Si Ningning doesn't like it, and it's not her style.

He looked away. It was too hot. There was a layer of sweat on Si Ningning's forehead. His soft bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to the skin of his forehead or stuck into a small strip. It was a bit uncomfortable.

Putting the palm of his hand on his forehead and pushing it up to wipe away the sweat, Si Ningning opened the door and went into the house to put down his things. When he came out, he already had a washbasin in his hand, and there was a pair of labor protection gloves in the basin.

He went to the well and got a basin of cold water to wash his face and cool down. Si Ningning put on her gloves and got down to business.

The wooden piles dug out from the corner of the old house were either lying in the weeds or half buried in adobe bricks. They were badly decayed and had faint traces of being eaten by termites.

When Si Ningning moved, a lot of dark brown stuff that looked like insect excrement fell down from it, but in fact it was not all insect excrement, but more of the naturally degraded and fermented wood residue. It looked like it was buried, but Si Ning

Ning did have some resistance and disgust, but she knew in her heart that this also meant that these wooden piles had sufficient nutrients and were very suitable for the growth of mushroom colonies.

Si Ningning moved the wooden stake to the well and placed it above the drainage ditch. She took some water from the basin and poured it on the wooden stake.

The edge of the well can be kept cool from morning to night, and the ditch usually drains water, and the humidity in the surrounding area is relatively high. Even if it is hot in summer and the water evaporates quickly, the area around the well is much better than other places, and because

It is outdoors, and requirements such as ventilation can also be guaranteed.

Si Ningning felt that this was a perfect Feng Shui land for experimental cultivation of mushrooms.

After setting up two pieces of wood, Si Ningning went back to the house to get a hatchet and fungus bag. When he came out again, Huo Lang came over with two other large wooden stakes.

Seeing that there was nothing where the stakes were placed, Huo Lang asked, "Where to put them?"

"By the well!"

The two of them went to the well one after another. Huo Lang placed the remaining wooden stakes according to Si Ningning's arrangement. He looked up and saw Si Ningning splitting the wooden stakes into small slits with a hatchet, and stuffed them with white-haired straw.

Entering the gap, Huo Lang squatted and looked at it for a while, then said: "The white hair looks like mold, can it grow mushrooms?"

Si Ningning opened her eyes wide and answered seriously: "Why not? Molds are fungi, and mushrooms are also fungi. Although molds cannot be eaten, from another perspective, they have similar requirements for the growth environment."

They all grow better in a moist and dark place.

Huo Lang rubbed his hair and said, "I don't understand this. What else do you need besides wooden stakes? I'll take care of them all for you."

"No, I stuffed the bacteria in, and then I just waited..." Si Ningning thought about it for a moment and said, "I still have a surplus of bacteria bags here. Do you want to take two back? Not necessarily.

To plant on this kind of wooden pile, you can also dig a few shallow trenches in a shady place, sprinkle the straw with the bacteria in it, and then use moist bamboo leaves mixed with soil to spread a thin layer on the surface."

Afraid that Huo Lang wouldn't understand, Si Ningning added an extra explanation: "I did the experiment on the wooden pile to better observe the growth of the mushrooms."

After hearing this, Huo Lang nodded, "Okay."

"Then you help me move the remaining wooden piles back first. I'll prepare the fungus bag. You can take it after you finish moving it."

"good."

As he spoke, Huo Lang stood up, and Si Ningning followed him towards the opening in front of the Educated Youth Point. He said with a gentle smile: "You used to worry that He Gu and San Miao would be too lazy to wait for the fungus bags.

Go back and plant it, teach them, and let them take care of it later."

"Please pay attention." Huo Lang whispered.

Si Ningning seemed to be praised, shook his neck proudly, and continued: "When they successfully grow mushrooms and experience the joy of harvest and hard work, they will have a sense of accomplishment, and their first reaction when encountering problems in the future will be to try hard instead of giving up.

.If they fail, don’t scold them, give them a few words of encouragement and guidance..."

Huo Lang turned to look at Si Ningning, "Tell them that failure is the mother of success? If there is failure, there will be success?"

"That's pretty much what I mean. Anyway, be patient. Children are very fragile and critical at this age. Don't suppress their enthusiasm." Si Ningning nodded and said seriously.
