Chapter 373 We can get married

Holang can make it simply, but it is really not possible to make it more elaborate.

What is lacking now is technology. Huo Lang thought that Si Ningning should know something, otherwise he would not mention this matter, so he threw the rabbit skin into the sink and waited for Si Ningning to come back before making arrangements.

Although he thought so, when he turned around to do other things, Huo Lang suddenly turned his head again.

The rabbit skin in the basin was completely turned over. At first glance, it was bloody. Worried about Si Ningning's fear, Huo Lang took back his steps, picked up the rabbit skin, went to the well and washed it again and again, washing away the blood on the surface until the white skin was exposed.

The fat layer stops doing other things.

Si Ningning left and returned quickly. Soaking the duck feathers in lime water was not something she did for a while. After she finished cooking, she casually took out a bamboo sieve from the firewood pile in the backyard and fastened it on the wooden basin.

Noticing the white stuff in the small pot on the side, Si Ningning was still thinking about when Huo Lang bought the meat, but after taking a closer look, she found that there were four small sharp corners on it. She looked closer and found that it was turned over.

Rabbit skin.

Si Ningning rubbed the tip of her nose, shook her head left and right, and looked around. When she saw that there was no one around her, her embarrassment gradually faded away.

She went to Huo Lang and asked about the rabbit skin, and also asked what he did to kill the good rabbits before they had been raised for a long time. Huo Lang's answer was simple:

"Kill and eat, kill for whatever you say."

As for the rabbit skin, Huo Lang directly told Si Ningning his thoughts and speculations. Si Ningning nodded, "I seem to have seen prepared skins at your place. Do you know how to do this?"

"I can't say whether it will happen or not. The method is very crude."

Si Ningning let out a low "hmm" and said, "How did you do it before? Can you do it again? I'll take a look and see which method is more suitable then, or combine them to sum up the most suitable method."

Can Huo Lang say "no" to Si Ningning's request?

The busy farming season was over and he had more free time. He wished he could spend the whole day with Si Ningning. How could he refuse?

Huo Lang nodded sharply, "Okay, but this takes a long time. Let's soak it now. I guess we will have to wait until evening before we can proceed to the next step. Can you wait until then?"

"Yes!" Si Ningning bared her teeth and smiled sweetly, "But you have to send me a section later because I'm afraid there will be snakes on the road."

"OK."

Huo Lang agreed immediately.

Rabbit skin is much cleaner than randomly collected duck feathers. The first step is to soak it in water. Huo Lang was mashing it in the sink, and Si Ningning didn't say anything to him.

After soaking the rabbit skin, the rice in the pot was almost cooked. Huo Lang took out the uncooked rice and drained the rice soup.

Si Ningning washed her hands and cooperated with him. She cut the killed rabbit into several small pieces with a "keep" sound. She moved the rabbit meat horizontally with the kitchen knife and transferred it to the bowl. Si Ningning picked up the chopping board and went to the well to rinse it.

Come back and wipe off the water stains with a linen cloth.

Si Ningning grilled the garlic, washed the onions, beat the garlic, and cut the onions into minced ginger slices all at once. Over there, Huo Lang just washed the pot and cleared the stove.

Waving Huo Lang out of the way, Si Ningning approached the stove and poured a small circle of oil neatly. She swung it around with a spatula so that the edge of the iron pot was also covered with a little oil. She first threw in a little green onion, ginger and garlic and sauteed until fragrant.

, and then stir-fried it twice in the bowl, then put the fat and meaty parts of the rabbit legs into the pot and stir-fried them together.

The aroma of onions, ginger, garlic and meat swayed in the kitchen with the rising heat mist. Hegu and Sanae secretly poked their heads at the door. Huo Lang glared at him, and the two little ones immediately covered their mouths and ran away laughing.

Coming.

Huo Lang sat at the stove and lit the fire. His deep eyes never moved away from Si Ningning most of the time. He sighed happily and contentedly:

"It's rare that you dressed up for once. I should let you sit down and rest for a while. Why do I ask you to cook for me instead?"

Si Ningning glanced at Huo Lang, "Why are you sitting down? Being a mascot? Waiting for you to raise him?"

"No? I can afford it."

Si Ningning chuckled and took a bowl, took out the fried rabbit meat and put it aside. He poured some oil into the pot again, this time adding dry seasonings on top of the last time.

chili.

After it was fragrant, she was busy frying the rabbit meat and took a moment to say:

"I also want to be a rich wife and do nothing but eat, drink and play every day, but this is the condition now. If you feel sorry for me and want me to have a good rest, then work harder."

What Si Ningning said was a joke, and she somewhat ignored the current situation of crusading against capitalism in the current environment. However, Huo Lang didn't think much about it. His first thought was not that Si Ningning's idea was too capitalist, but subconsciously.

He thought Si Ningning was encouraging him and asking him to learn more about how to cook.

Once he can cook the dishes and eat them, there will be no need for Si Ningning to get started.

Although there were a few misunderstandings, the result was not too far off.

Huo Lang smiled brightly and responded sincerely, "Okay, then I will work hard in the future!"

Si Ningning gave him a surprised look, but without saying anything, she handed the bowl of rabbit meat over to her, "Go and wash it, hurry up, I'll wait to load it."

Huo Lang immediately stood up and took the bowl of sea, and walked toward the well with long legs and a vigorous stride.

After the rabbit meat was put out, Si Ningning cleaned out the front pot and poured the drained rice into the pot. The rice in the pot was cone-shaped. Si Ningning took the chopsticks and poked holes in it casually.

, then place the two bowls containing rabbit meat on the side of the pot, one on the left and the other on the right, cover the pot and simmer together.

The rabbit meat is very firm, just like an old hen. It won't be cooked just by frying it, it needs to be simmered for a while.

Stewing it alone is too time-consuming, and you may not be sure that the meal is over. Stewing it next to the rice like this saves time and firewood. It kills multiple birds with one stone. And I don’t know if it has a psychological effect. Si Ningning thinks that doing this

The chicken and rabbit meat that comes out are more delicious than those cooked alone.

Lunch was eaten in the kitchen. The small table was placed at the back door of the kitchen. Si Ningning, Hegu, and Sanae sat on a small mat, while Huo Lang sat on the threshold behind the kitchen door with his back to the backyard.

Rice and rabbit meat, just the same thing, are enough to make people drool. Now both are placed in front of them. Smelling the fragrance, He Gu almost fainted with happiness, but seeing that his eldest brother and Si Ningning have not started to move their chopsticks yet.

, he endured it impatiently and stood still.

Si Ningning pushed the rabbit meat in a small bowl to Sanae, picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in Sanae's bowl. She said with a gentle smile: "Try it and see if it tastes good? It's not spicy."

Sanae nodded with a puffy face and took a bite.

With the rabbit meat wrapped in her mouth and chewing, she looked at Si Ningning with a oily mouth and said, "It's delicious, especially fragrant."

Sincerity for sincerity, Sanae's handling of Si Ningning's details can be seen both in her body and in her eyes. She swallowed the fragrant rabbit meat and licked her lips. Sanae's dark eyes looked at Si Ningning and said seriously:

"Sister Ning, it actually doesn't matter if I eat a little spicy food. There's no need to go to such trouble."

Si Ningning was amused by her serious appearance. She smiled and tapped the tip of Sanae's nose. Si Ningning said "yes" on her lips, but actually didn't listen to her heart.

He Gu and Huo Lang can eat spicy food, and they also like to eat spicy food. On the contrary, Sanae basically doesn't touch spicy food. After eating a little bit, her face looks like a drunk person, red and hot. Si Ningning has always been

Keep it in mind.

Even though the two little ones were greedy, there was only so much they could hold in their stomachs, so they finished their meal early and left the table.

Si Ningning is relatively restrained when it comes to eating. She only needs to eat until she is eighty percent full. If she eats more, her stomach will easily become uncomfortable.

Huo Lang rarely had a good appetite today, so he ate a few pieces of rabbit meat, and ate two bowls of rice mixed with the red soup and spicy oil from the sea bowl. Even the bottom of the pot was stained with rice, and he scooped it up and ate it all.

Si Ningning watched from the side, her eyes widened with shock, fearing that he would burst, but where was the person responsible?

After putting away the bowl and cleaning up the mess, he hiccupped against the back door and said, "The days are getting better and better. It's so comfortable. I feel full and want to sleep."

He did show satisfaction, which made Si Ningning feel even more unhappy.

A bowl of meat, a meal, this is enough...

This shows how hard and difficult life was at this time.

"Just take a nap if you feel sleepy. Don't you have nothing to do?"

Huo Lang thought about his proposal: "You want to sleep too? I'll bring the daybed and bamboo bed over. The backyard has wind, shade, and quietness. It's a good time to take a nap."

Huo Lang was restless. He used to coax Si Ningning to sleep and sneak out to work after Si Ningning fell asleep. This time it was rare for him to make a decision and he wanted to rest. Si Ningning was afraid that he would regret it, so she quickly nodded and agreed.

,"OK."

Huo Lang went to move the chairs and bamboo beds. They were placed here before, but because the new house was built, he moved them there.

After moving it over for a while, and after it was settled and stable, Huo Lang got a cattail leaf fan for Si Ningning, and as if he was taking care of a child, he went into the house and took out a pillow towel, big or small, insisting that Si Ning Ning

Ning rested his belly.

Si Ningning was both amused and speechless, but finally compromised and complied.

Lying on the couch with her eyes closed, Si Ningning tapped her toes gently on the ground. When the rocking chair began to rock, she would shake the cattail leaf fan from time to time.

The chirping birds around, the wind and the rustling of bamboo leaves are nature's best sleep aids. In the hot summer, you can feel the brief tranquility, and soon a wave of fatigue will hit you.

"Well..."

Si Ningning yawned, adjusted her posture unconsciously, and fell into a deep sleep.

The scene in the backyard was quiet and peaceful. Huo Lang was lying on the bamboo bed, sleeping with his eyes closed and his hands behind his head. The sound of the rocking chair in his ears stopped. He slowly opened his right eye a little and spoke in a hoarse, low and tentative voice.

shouted:

"Ning Ning?"

"..."

Si Ningning did not respond.

Huo Lang slowly turned over and sat up. He was silent for a while, and then stood up amidst the creaking of the bamboo bed.

He squatted on the side of the sofa, stretched out his fingers and gently touched Si Ningning's tender cheeks, "A Ning...?"

"Well... Huo Lang, don't make trouble."

Si Ningning didn't know whether she was sleeping or awake, so she moved her little hand and gave a weak wave. Her slender figure huddled in the sofa, and her chirping voice was more delicate than a cat. Huo Lang couldn't control it, and slowly lowered his head, feeling light and cool.

His lips pressed against her forehead.

As if sensing something, Si Ningning turned her head and rubbed Nostalgia against Huo Lang's shoulder.

Huo Lang seemed to be inspired, and felt that his heart was extremely hot.

Soon.

He will be able to officially take her home soon.

Just a little bit, the last little bit...

Rubbing his thumb lingeringly on Si Ningning's pink lips twice, Huo Lang turned around and walked out of the backyard.

Si Ningning slept for more than three hours this time, and she usually had a lunch break during class, but she was always worried about missing class time and fearing that the children would get into trouble, so she didn't dare to sleep too deeply.

This solid sleep seemed to make up for the lack of physical fitness. Not only was my mind clear, but my back felt much more relaxed, as if a burden had been lifted.

Si Ningning leaned on the sofa and took a breath. She called Huo Lang's name but got no response. She turned around and saw Sanae and Hegu sleeping on the bamboo bed behind her. Where was the shadow of Huo Lang?

When she woke up, her mind was still a little confused. Si Ningning didn't react at all to think about whether Huo Lang had slept or not, or how long he had slept. Her first reaction was to find Huo Lang and see what Huo Lang was doing.

His legs were a little numb, so he stood up and moved a bit, and Si Ningning sat back down with weak legs.

After a long while, she learned to be smarter this time and moved her legs first. She didn't feel uncomfortable before standing up and walking out.

After passing through the kitchen and entering the main room, I heard a "sizzling" sound coming from outside, "Holang?"

Si Ningning gave a tentative shout, and when he went out, he saw Huo Lang wearing only a small vest. His shoulders and back were wet with sweat and shiny, and his arms and shoulders were still stained with some dust.

Hearing her voice, he turned around, his handsome face covered with sweat beads also becoming sticky.

Holang was sawing wood, but the tooth saw didn't work when sawing the wood. Without industrial tools, he could only use the thread pitch to grind bit by bit. He didn't have any armor at home, and they didn't pay much attention to these things in this era, so the sawdust he brought out made him angry.

It's everywhere on my body.

"Wake up...don't stick it over here, it's so dirty."

Si Ningning was usually very particular about cleanliness. She couldn't stand it if Huo Lang's sweat towel wasn't washed, so she had to rub it clean. But now, Huo Lang smelled of sweat and could feel sweat on his hands, but she didn't feel it at all.

He didn't mind. He hugged Huo Lang's waist from behind and pressed his forehead sideways on Huo Lang's back, as if he was crooked.

Huo Lang was helpless, "Can I stop doing it? Let go quickly. I'm dirty and smelly. I'll stain all your clothes in a while..."

"It doesn't matter."

Si Ningning rubbed her forehead against his back, interrupted him and said to herself: "Huo Lang, I think it's okay."

"What?"

"I said if you are ready, we can get married."

Si Ningning finished her sentence word by word, and the moment she finished her words, Huo Lang's heart was uncontrollably excited, but in just a moment, Huo Lang calmed down, and comforted him with helplessness and loss:

"Wait a moment, there is only one cabinet left to complete."

Three turns and one beep, four big pieces, tables, chairs, cabinets with thirty-six legs, everything else is already there, but now all that is missing is an upright cabinet.

"I actually don't care about that."

Every time a sensible girl wakes up, she will always be a little more pampered and clingy than before.
