Chapter 266 Apology

But after what happened just now, Huo Lang realized that Si Ningning also had him in his heart, so what he wanted to say was actually just a thin layer of window paper.

Now……

All you need to do is say... pierce the window paper, and then...

We should be able to face it calmly and express our feelings to each other, right?

Perhaps the prospect in his imagination was too bright. Huo Lang's deep brows twitched, staring at Si Ningning's petite silhouette in the darkness, and said in a deep and serious tone:

"Do you want to consider..."

"Si Ningning, what have you been doing? You haven't come into the house for so long?"

Before Huo Lang finished his sentence, in front of the gate of the Educated Youth Point eight or nine meters away, Jiang Yue's loud voice suddenly sounded inappropriately, making Si Ningning and Huo Lang shiver at the same time.

The quiet and beautiful atmosphere dissipated in an instant. Si Ningning scratched his forehead in embarrassment, "I, I have to go in... Let's talk about it tomorrow, let's meet tomorrow?"

Huo Lang arched his eyebrows, feeling very unhappy that his good deeds were suddenly interrupted.

But the matter has come to this, and there is nothing we can do about it.

"Um."

Huo Lang nodded lowly in response, and Si Ningning waved goodbye to him. Then when he turned around and walked back, he couldn't help but hold Si Ningning's hand again.

"Si Ningning."

"What?" Si Ningning turned sideways, and the faint light pouring from the door made the outline of her body more vivid in the darkness.

Huo Lang looked at her silently for a long time, then said a few words in a calm and low voice: "Then I will come to you tomorrow?"

"Okay." Si Ningning nodded and responded. After waiting for a while, Huo Lang still didn't let go. Her cheeks felt a little hot and her crisp voice was lowered, as if she was afraid of being heard by others. "Is there anything else?"

"It's okay."

"……oh."

"I said tomorrow will be tomorrow."

"knew!"

"Well...what else are you busy with recently?"

"The captain said that someone has taken care of the work in the pig pen. I just corrected the textbooks recently, and there is nothing else to do."

"Um."

In the darkness, Huo Lang responded, and then there was silence again.

Just when Si Ningning wanted to go back to the house, Huo Lang spoke again, "Would you like to go to the mountains again? There are no flowers in the season right now, and you will be able to see camellias in a while, starting from the end of October.

The earth will bloom until March next year.”

"Okay." Si Ningning agreed after thinking about it, and then asked: "Will you bring something to eat with you? What do you want to eat?"

"Everything is fine."

After that, they talked about other things intermittently. During this period, Huo Lang never let go of Si Ningning's hand. Si Ningning could feel Huo Lang's attachment, so she didn't say anything and just let him hold her hand.

Huo Lang had nothing to say, he just didn't want to let Si Ningning leave, but Jiang Yue didn't cooperate. Ten minutes after the first voice passed, Jiang Yue saw that Si Ningning hadn't entered the room yet, so she ran out and shouted:

"Si Ningning, where are you putting them? I'll tell you if there are snakes at night!"

"I really went in!" Si Ningning said in a low voice.

"Yes." Huo Lang reluctantly released his grip on Si Ningning's little hand, "I'll watch you go in."

The words were similar to the one he used to smear him back from the commune, but the relationship has improved so much that Si Ningning didn't know how to describe his mood.

Some were happy, some were shy, and some were complicated and unpredictable. However, the situation did not allow her to think too much, so she responded in a low voice, "See you tomorrow!"

The night wind carried her clear and gentle voice to Huo Lang's ears.

Huo Lang opened and closed his thin lips and replied with the same three words, "See you tomorrow."

Si Ningning no longer hesitated, turned around and ran towards the gate of the Educated Youth Point, "Come on, come on! Why do you keep calling me when you can just talk for a while?"

"How can it be just a while? It's obviously a long time! Huh? Tell me, what did you say?"

"Go away, you are so young, why do you like to listen to gossip as much as the aunt on the team?"

The girls in the educated youth spot were making a scene, and Huo Lang's figure was hidden in the darkness outside the door. He watched Si Ningning enter the house and stayed there for a long time before turning around and leaving.

Si Ningning calmed Xiaolu's pounding heart, took a few steps to sit back in front of the bed and picked up the pen again, "I won't quarrel with you anymore, and take a rest after washing!"

Jiang Yue shrugged, and Xu Shuhua came back from pouring the foot washing water, "What? Ning Ning, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'll go back to sleep later and copy two pages of notes." Si Ningning leaned over slightly, writing quickly while referring to the notes, while mouthing at the old notebook pressed under his elbow, "You can just sleep when you are sleepy, don't worry about me.

."

"Farming will be busy in a while, and the work hasn't been heavy lately... If you don't sleep, I'll light your lamp for a while." Xu Shuhua chuckled, and while talking, she went to the main room to move a bench, and figured out some things to do.

The remaining rags from clothes.

In the house of educated youths of both sexes, Zhao Hongbing had previously given each a kerosene lamp for public use, because kerosene lamps consume kerosene, and everyone usually uses them sparingly.

Si Ningning didn't like being in the dark, and she wasn't very intolerant of dim light. When she lit a kerosene lamp, she always liked to pull the wick outward to make the burning part bigger, so that the light could be brighter.

The kerosene lamps from the Educated Youth Spot were paid for as part of the public expenditure. Si Ningning used the lamp a lot and wasted it. He was embarrassed to keep using the lamp from the Educated Youth Spot, so he simply bought another kerosene lamp by himself.

Just light it up when you want to use it, and turn it off when you're not using it. You don't have to look at other people's eyes, and you don't have to incur any psychological burden.

As for borrowing money, taking advantage of others, Si Ningning didn't care at all.

She lit the lamp for her own use. If Xu Shuhua and the others were willing to make do with it, they would just light the lamp themselves.

Anyway, she usually turns off the light when she is done with her work and has nothing else to do. She does not deliberately leave the light on because she wants to take care of or help others.

The value of kindness and help lies when others really need it, rather than in trivial matters of little significance, or when you take advantage.

Some people may say that "value" should be taken into consideration when helping others. This idea itself is utilitarian, but Si Ningning doesn't think so.

If there is no balance at all, "help" without a bottom line will only encourage others to breed or encourage some bad habits.

This is not good for her or others.

Si Ningning thought and nodded, and Jiang Yue stretched out her head, "Count me in, too! I didn't finish reading the book I borrowed from Mo Bei last time! These days

Work hard, and when you finish reading the book on hand, you can read what Si Ningning brought back!"

"If you don't sleep, then I won't sleep either."

Jiang Yue and Xu Shuhua were both in the best position across from Si Ningning's small table. Song Xiaoyun was not willing to be left behind, so she quickly dug out her half-made clothes and leaned over.

A long small table was instantly crowded. Jiang Yue read for a while and felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking up and looking around, she found that they were doing things that were hard on the eyes. Jiang Yue got up and went to the main room to get an unused kerosene lamp, "Let's light two lamps! Two lamps put together will make it brighter, so as not to strain the eyes."

Blind."

"Okay!" Song Xiaoyun and Xu Shuhua replied simultaneously.

Jiang Yue quickly lit the kerosene lamp and placed it about ten centimeters away from Si Ningning's lamp.

Jiang Yue took back her hand and planned to continue reading, but the back of her hand was unconsciously touched by Si Ningning.

Jiang Yue subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at Si Ningning, only to see that the latter's eyes were bright under the light, and he winked at her with approval.

What's wrong?

Jiang Yue frowned slightly, showing a confused look. She opened her mouth to ask but saw Si Ningning smiled faintly, turned away and continued to write and draw.

Si Ningning did not answer Jiang Yue's doubts, but sighed softly in her heart:

Maybe he really answered that sentence.

Birds of a feather flock together, she treats others with kindness, and others actively and kindly help her.

Rather than blindly asking for it in this relationship.

fine.

Si Ningning snickered and her eyebrows arched.

After copying a few pages of notes, Si Ningning's eyes felt a little sore. She raised her head and closed the cap of her pen, planning to stop here today. However, when she looked up, she saw Xu Shuhua patching up rags one by one with needle and thread.

Si Ningning asked curiously: "Shuhua, what are you going to do with these cloth ends?"

Academician Liang is half a scavenger. Most of the usable and unusable materials are collected, as are the rags, so he often accumulates them piece by piece.

The situation of Xu Shuhua and Academician Liang is different. She bought fabrics from Si Ningning, and the rags in her hands are also leftovers from those fabrics.

Due to various reasons, Si Ningning is convinced that Xu Shuhua will not buy any more cloth in the near future or in the past six months, so what does Xu Shuhua do with her patchwork head?

And what can be done with such a small piece of cloth?

Si Ningning was indeed quite curious.

"This bit of cloth is not enough to make anything else. I thought about putting it together to see if I could make a shoe upper. I also mentioned this matter. I thought about asking you when I first started doing it a few days ago. At that time

Not here." Speaking of this, Xu Shuhua raised her head and looked at Si Ningning, "It's not too late, Ningning, do you think there are a lot of rags there?"

"If there are too many, just put them together and bring them to me, and I will put them together to make a pair of shoes for you."

Si Ningning paused for a moment and quickly ran through the news in his mind, "Making shoes is not easy, right? Wouldn't it be too troublesome?"

"It's okay. I haven't been busy lately anyway. I can't keep up with you in my studies. I really can't read the book. I'll be bored if I don't find something to do."

Xu Shuhua twisted the needle and rubbed it on her scalp, smiling a little helplessly and a little embarrassed.

"Um……"

Si Ningning let out a long "hmm" and fell into a brief silence.

Everyone has something they are good at and something they are not good at, and there is nothing embarrassing or unspeakable about it.

Si Ningning was thinking about it, and an idea vaguely came up in her heart. Before the idea was settled, she nodded and said: "Okay, I will take the time to clean it up in the next two days. If there is any, I will bring it to you."

"Hey, okay~"

The four girls were busy under the lamp. Si Ningning put away his notebook and put it on the pillow on the bed. He originally planned to sit down and chat for a while, but as soon as he poked his head out of the mosquito net, he suddenly thought of something else, "Jiang Yue,

Where are the lotus pods I brought back a few days ago?"

There are so many lotus pods, if they were not treated, they would have been damaged by covering them for such a long time.

Si Ningning frowned slightly, a heavy pity already appearing in her heart.

"Ah, lotus..." Jiang Yue looked up at Si Ningning hesitantly.

Her hesitation made Si Ningning feel even more worried. She pursed her lips and waited for Jiang Yue's next words.

Jiang Yue scratched the back of her head and looked at Xu Shuhua. Xu Shuhua answered: "The captain came over that day and said that you were going to the county to do something and you would not be back for a few days. I thought that the lotus stems could not be put away, so I called Jiang Yue and Xiaoyun together.

Peel it off."

Song Xiaoyun nodded, pointed in the direction of the main room and echoed: "The lotus seeds are almost dried, and they are all in your basket."

Si Ningning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and did not hide it. She patted her chest with her little hand and said frankly: "I was scared to death. I thought I was gone and you couldn't think of getting rid of so many lotus pods. If they were really rotten, I would be heartbroken."

It's me."

Xu Shuhua smiled and said: "I was afraid that you had other plans. I didn't think of it at first. I was also afraid that it would be a pity to waste the things in the end, so I peeled them out."

When peeling it off, Xu Shuhua was a little worried, fearing that Si Ningning would blame her when she came back.

Si Ningning waved her hand: "Nothing to blame or not, we all ate it together when we got it back."

After saying this, he felt that something was a little inappropriate. Si Ningning groaned and added: "Anyway, just watch similar things happen in the future. If I'm not here, then we will stop the loss in time depending on the situation."

"Okay."

The girls reached a consensus and it was not early at that time, so they each started packing their things and blowing out the lights and went to bed.

Si Ningning closed the mosquito net tightly and lay on the bed in the dark, listening to the breathing of the other people around her. She originally planned to fall asleep, but ended up tossing and turning unable to fall asleep.

Why……

Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, I feel anxious.

At that time, he didn't know that Yan Wenshu was Huo Lang's cousin, so Si Ningning misunderstood. Looking back now, her words and attitude at that time seemed not very good, and she was even a little tough.

It's really rude!

Embarrassed and ashamed...

what to do?

And when will Yan Wenshu leave?

What would you do if you met again tomorrow?

What to do! What to do!

Si Ningning buried her face in the blanket, rolled around twice in embarrassment, and finally lay down flat on her back with her eyes exposed from the blanket, staring at the dark top of the mosquito net to calm down.

Si Ningning recalled the scene beside the house of the educated youth a few hours ago.

She and Huo Lang have a good impression of each other. At present, there is only one layer of window paper that has not been pierced. It is most likely that they will be together in the future, right?

If this is the case, then the conflict between her and Yan Wenshu cannot be treated lightly.

She didn't have to get Yan Wenshu's favor to be with Huo Lang, but out of politeness, Si Ningning felt it was necessary to apologize.

To apologize, you first need a proper "ceremony".

Si Ningning struggled for a while, listened to the heavy breathing around him for a long time, and then turned over and entered the space lightly.

This time is different from going to the black market to resell in the past. You won’t need anything like rice, flour, meat, oil, etc. It has to be a “gift” that is not high in value and can also reflect your heart.

Si Ningning sat in front of the sewing machine in the study, feeling really embarrassed for a while.

Si Ningning frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then hit the palm of his left hand with his right fist, "Yes!"

When he had an idea, he just did it. Si Ningning immediately got up and started searching.
