Back to the era with space materials

It is indeed getting late.

Hearing the steady breathing coming from Si Ningning's side, Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun immediately relaxed their movements, quickly cleared up the messy bed, turned on the lamp, went to bed, put on their clothes and went to sleep.

Time passed quickly, and the night passed quickly. All the educated youths got up one after another at early seven o'clock in the morning to go to work. Si Ningning slowly got up after eight o'clock, when the dew on the path had almost faded.

After tidying up and washing up, eating breakfast slowly, and packing the lunch rations with oil paper, Si Ningning put on her kettle and straw hat and went out.

Not long after he went out, he met Huo Lang at the literacy class.

At that time, Huo Lang was leaning at the door of the literacy class. Under his rolled-up sleeves, two arms with obvious muscles were crossed around his shoulders. The cool morning breeze ruffled the hem of his clothes, and his whole body was filled with a rare feeling.

The laziness and leisurely energy.

But the shadows under the tree were like an isolation line, shrouding him in another world. Inexplicably, Si Ningning felt that the distance between her and him suddenly became so far away...

Seeing that handsome face with clear outlines, slightly raising his chin to look at her, Si Ningning felt that everything was just an illusion because he was confused when he woke up in the morning.

Shaking her head to get rid of the strange thoughts, Si Ningning trotted closer with her beautiful eyebrows raised, "How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you say you were coming here to wait for me yesterday? If I had known, I would have come out long ago."

"I just came." Huo Lang responded lightly, lifted the gun in the bamboo basket beside his leg and put it on his shoulder, then lifted the bamboo basket and tilted the mouth of the basket towards Si Ningning, "Put the things in."

Si Ningning obediently put the two oil paper parcels in her hands into the bottom of the basket, but quickly took out the small bamboo basket in the basket, "Is this newly made for me?"

Si Ningning held the bamboo basket and looked around, and quickly discovered the difference between the one in his hand and the one he used before.

The two bamboo baskets at the front and back are of average size, but the current one is obviously much more delicate than the previous one.

The middle of the bamboo basket is in the shape of a gourd with a thin waist. Not only is a three-dimensional circle of small goldfish woven around the waist, but also around the edges.

Si Ningning blinked and asked Huo Lang, pretending to be confused, "Have you noticed that this one is different from the previous one? It looks better than the previous one?"

"..." Huo Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, coughed slightly and pretended not to hear Si Ningning's joke. He nodded and said, "It's the same. You remembered it wrong."

As if he was afraid that Si Ningning would continue talking, Huo Langxu hugged Si Ningning's shoulders and took her out, "Okay, the dew in the mountains has almost faded. Let's set off first and walk as we go.

explain."

Si Ningning put her fist to her lips and laughed out loud, but did not continue to look at Huo Lang.

She and Huo Lang walked along the field path to the foot of the south mountain. Along the way, they glanced at the shelves where mushrooms were grown. A batch of bacterial strains had just been nailed to the shelves in the past few days. Although it didn't rain these days, it was better than the temperature.

It was moderately moist and moistened by dew. The young mushroom plants grew to ages. They were all round and fleshy and wore little gray hats. At first glance, they looked like an army. They were distributed regularly and occupied a large area.

"How many kilograms of mushrooms can you harvest from this batch?" Si Ningning asked.

Huo Lang thought for a while and asked: "How many pounds did it weigh last time?"

Without waiting for Si Ningning to answer, he almost said: "It must be one hundred and fifty kilograms, right? Judging from the situation this time, it should be two hundred kilograms."

Si Ningning nodded, lowered her long eyelashes for a while, and revealed her feelings to Huo Lang with a sigh, "I have never thought about how much I can expect the mushroom production to increase. It would be good to keep the current quantity stable."

Si Ningning was actually quite conflicted.

It is true that she wants to help this small mountain village get rid of poverty, but she is worried that once the interests become large, it will cause other disputes.

But if you only look at the present, and only intend to stabilize a state of being able to eat without starving to death, all the research and thinking seem to have lost their original significance, and what is presented is day after day, repetitive and endless boring.

and boring.

Huo Lang's deep peach blossom eyes swayed, and she could see Si Ningning's hesitation. She held Si Ningning's hand and led Si Ningning onto the hillside path to continue walking:

"If you regard studying as fun, then follow your heart and do it boldly. Afterwards, the people on the team learned the technology, whether it is a side job or other things, they are all running it themselves, good or bad. Something went wrong.

Uncle Hong Bing is also in charge, so don’t think too much about it, eh?"

Si Ningning nodded hesitantly, and after being led by Huo Lang for a while, she asked seriously: "Am I being too pushy?"

"This is not a case of overreaching." Huo Lang thought for a moment, looked back at Si Ningning and said calmly and resolutely: "It's just a collision of ambition and goodwill, an accidental disagreement."

"They are your high-quality character and shining points. You must believe that even if you have a conflict of ideas and opinions by chance, they will always be precious and beautiful things. There is no doubt about this."

Si Ningning was originally feeling a little melancholy, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Huo Lang paused, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"You're not laughing at anything." Si Ningning winked playfully, her eyes quickly turning into small crescents, "I just didn't expect you to be able to pour chicken soup for people's souls."

"What chicken soup?"

“Chicken Soup for the Soul!”

Huo Lang was silent and thought for a long time. He still felt unfamiliar with the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" that Si Ningning said, so he asked again: "What does Chicken Soup for the Soul mean?"

"Hmm..." Si Ningning didn't expect that "Chicken Soup for the Soul" would attract Huo Lang's attention. However, seeing Huo Lang's curiosity, she thought about it and explained: "Chicken Soup for the Soul refers to something that can soothe the mind and spirit."

Words of encouragement.”

There was another moment of silence, and just when Si Ningning thought that Huo Lang couldn't understand the key point, Huo Lang suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, saying seriously and sincerely: "I just told the truth, not to encourage you."

"Uh..." Si Ningning's pupils flickered, her crescent eyebrows furrowed in confusion and then slowly relaxed. During this period, Huo Lang's lingering voice kept coming: "Of course, if I can encourage you, it would be better."

"You are good at everything, but one thing is that you like to think blindly." Huo Lang sighed softly, holding Si Ningning's hand and continuing to move forward. His tone was doting and helpless, "You are obviously very good, but you are always worried.

You who are worried about this and that, tell me, if others knew what you were thinking, would they still be alive?"

Si Ningning blushed, stamped her feet and asked sternly, "How could it be as serious as you said?!"

"Don't just refute, look at your feet." Huo Lang looked ahead and warned while giving examples: "You can cook, right? Can you raise rabbits? You researched mushrooms, right? You are neither a doctor nor a nurse.

You were helping in the outpatient department at the hospital a while ago, right? When Hegu couldn't eat, you were the one who guided him through it, right?"

"Not to mention far away, among the people in our production team, among those I just mentioned, which one knows two of them?"

Huo Lang turned his head to look at Si Ningning and sighed silently: "Isn't this considered competent? What do you always question yourself for?"

"I didn't question myself, I just sighed occasionally..." Si Ningning pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "When you say that, it seems like I have no shortcomings at all."

Huo Lang was silent for a long time. He did not look at Si Ningning, but his voice suddenly became hoarse and magnetic, "Perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, you are the best."

These words seemed like words of love, but they carried a thousand pounds of weight.

The words were pounded into Si Ningning's ears one by one, making her ears feel numb and her head became dizzy.

It was not the dizziness caused by a few sweet words of love, but the dizziness brought about by the ultimate joy of being recognized by others.

Huo Lang's words seemed to have magic power. For a brief moment, Si Ningning recognized his statement and subconsciously felt that she was excellent and the best...

The two held hands and walked silently in the mountains for several more minutes. It was not until a large area of ​​sunlight was blocked and the cool mountain breeze blew in their faces that Si Ningning's distracted and distant consciousness was gradually awakened.

It was at this moment that, unfortunately, Si Ningning tripped over a bulging tree root and almost fell down. Fortunately, Huo Lang quickly picked her back up like a chicken.

Huo Lang sighed and bowed, pulling down Si Ningning's trouser leg that was caught by the tree root fork, and for the first time, his tone was helpless with a hint of rebuke: "You are so stunned, when will you really grow up?"

Si Ningning's pink lips opened and closed slightly, and for once, she didn't arrogantly refute Huo Lang's words.

Walking with Huo Lang for more than an hour, during the break, Si Ningning sat in a dry place to drink water and glanced around involuntarily.

The temperature in the mountains is suitable and the environment is quiet. Since autumn has already begun for more than a month, many trees have signs of yellowing and falling leaves. In the next few days, the leaf falling should be more obvious.

Si Ningning thought about it. After drinking the water, she screwed on the bottle cap and put her hands on her sides. Just as she was trying to loosen her back muscles, she felt something clicked on her palms. She took her hands back and patted away the dust on her palms.

, while looking at the mark separated from the palm.

A slightly sunken shallow pit, which still hurts...

Si Ningning folded her hands and rubbed the small hole and took it out, shaking her head from side to side to look for the thing that had just hit her.

It doesn't matter if you don't look for it. When you look for it, Si Ningning's eyes widen with joy, "Huo Lang! Huo Lang! Look!"

This place was already some distance away from the safe area. Huo Lang grabbed the gun strap on his shoulder with his big hand and looked around with alert eyes. Hearing the noise, he thought something had happened. He walked towards Si Ningning in a few steps and met Si Ningning.

Bai was holding a small pebble in his palm and was smiling happily.

"A small stone..."

Originally, he wanted to say, "What's so rare about a pebble?", but when the words came to an end, Huo Lang swallowed back the rest of his words.

The small round particles do look like pebbles from a distance, but not up close.

When Huo Lang was a child, he went to Dongsan Gaoguan University. Although he had never been to the mountains there, he often went to the foot of the mountains, so he naturally recognized what the small round grains were.

"You want this?" Huo Lang pinched the nut with a small helmet from Si Ningning's hand, "This is not like melon seeds. It is troublesome to eat, and the taste is not good."

To be precise, it tastes very bitter.

"If you like nuts, you should be able to find another one here."

"Another kind?" Si Ningning's eyes flickered and he asked tentatively, "Hazelnut?"

What Si Ningning discovered was acorns. To eat acorns, they need to be pre-processed, otherwise they will not only taste bitter, but may also be poisonous.

Because when Huo Lang said that acorns taste bad, Si Ningning was more understanding.

"Yes." Huo Lang nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand to pick up Si Ningning, then observed the ground and led Si Ningning forward, occasionally raising his head to look above his head.

Si Ningning followed his gaze and glanced up from time to time.

After Moyo walked in a winding way for another ten minutes, Huo Lang slowed down and lowered his head to look around.

Si Ningning looked at a loss, and before she could react, she saw Huo Lang bending down and grabbing it twice. When he stood up again, he handed over two plump hazelnuts.

(???)!!?

"How did you find the hazelnuts here?"

Si Ningning had an exclamation mark and a question mark on her face. She looked up and her neck felt sore. She didn't even see the hazelnuts on the tree.

Huo Lang walked slowly behind Si Ningning, gently lifted Si Ningning's chin from behind with his big palm, and pulled Si Ningning to look up, "Look at the back of the leaves on the treetops over there, do you see it?"

"Um...that's Hazelnut?"

To be honest, Si Ningning has never seen a hazelnut tree, so she is not very sure.

"Yes, the clusters on the back of the leaves are all hazelnuts. There are usually four or five in each cluster." Huo Lang nodded slightly, and his slightly hot breath hit the side of Si Ningning's ear. Si Ningning tilted her head uncomfortably and pulled away.

Huo Lang's restraint fled to the side:

"Okay, I get it! I, I'll go look for it and see if there's anything else on the ground nearby!"

With her heart pounding, Si Ningning ran away a few steps away from Huo Lang and crouched down to search randomly.

To be honest, whether talking to each other or holding hands, Si Ningning didn't have any other big or obvious feelings except that Huo Lang made her feel at ease and at ease.

But once he goes one step further or engages in overly intimate behavior, Si Ningning will always feel his heart beat faster, and he will feel embarrassed when he reacts afterwards.

Si Ningning had read about love in many novels and movies, but this was the first time she had experienced it personally. She was actually quite confused and didn't know if her current situation was normal.

Is everyone like this, or is it just her who is too nervous?

If her sudden behavior was of a different kind, would Huo Lang think too much about it?

What should I do if Huo Lang really thinks too much?

Si Ningning's mind was in a mess. She squatted down and picked up pebbles for a long time. She was struggling and didn't know what was going on. Suddenly she remembered what Huo Lang said to her at that time:

"In my eyes, you are the best."

The ringing and lingering voice seemed to echo in the ears, and Si Ningning's restless and struggling heart gradually calmed down.
