Chapter 30： Everyone is busy

Chapter 30 Everyone is busy

As soon as Song Xiaoyun entered the house, Jiang Yue got up and went to find the cloth head.

Si Ningning was busy chatting with Li Lingyuan, and soon collected a basket full of fir leaves.

“Si Zhiqing, let me help you move in!”

“No need.” Si Ningning smiled and declined, “This is not serious.”

It looks like a lot, but how much weight do the leaves account for?

After dragging the basket to the doorstep, Si Ningning bowed and said "ha", picked up the basket of crabs and walked to the kitchen.

Li Lingyuan stood up straight holding on to the handle of the hoe, touched the back of his head and muttered:

“Where is Si Zhiqing, the weird one?”

Lunch was sorghum rice and stir-fried water spinach with green peppers. Si Ningning originally thought she was so hungry that she could eat a whole cow, but as soon as she took a bite, she coughed twice and almost spit out the rice.

Sorghum rice needs to be soaked in advance. Today, I am short of time and there is no time to soak it. So now when I eat it, it feels like chewing sand in my mouth. The grains are distinct and there is a little astringency.

Si Ningning’s face was embarrassed and a little uncomfortable.

hard to swallow.

Can’t eat it!

Because most of the educated youths had not eaten even a drop of rice during the previous drive, this meal was very honest. Xu Shuhua filled her aluminum lunch box.

The rations are so expensive, there is no way they will go down...

Next to him, Xu Shuhua sat on the bed and ate without raising her head. She was not affected by the "taste" or "texture" at all.

Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun were outside the door, chatting with male educated youths while eating.

Si Ningning thought for a while and greeted Xu Shuhua in a low voice:

"Shuhua, I can't eat that much, shall I give you some?" He said, holding up the lunch box and approaching, "I just took a bite here, I'll give you the one over there!"

“How can that be done? Today’s situation is special. It won’t be like this every time in the future. Just hurry up and eat more!”

“I ate peach cake at that time, but now I really can’t eat it, otherwise it will be wasted...”

Si Ningning frowned and lowered her eyebrows, and her red lips pursed, giving off an air of coquettishness and annoyance.

Xu Shuhua saw that she didn't seem to be telling lies, so she didn't refuse anymore. She handed the lunch box over to catch the rice that Si Ningning had set aside. Xu Shuhua said firmly:

“I can’t eat your food in vain. If you need any help in the future, just ask, I will help you if I can!”

Si Ningning smiled and nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Two-thirds of it was given to Xu Shuhua, leaving one-third. Afraid of suspicion, Si Ningning stuffed it into her stomach and put the last bite into her mouth. Her whole cheeks bulged and she chewed uncomfortably for a long time. Swallow it.

Si Ningning took out her empty lunch box and went out. The educated youth saw her outside and asked casually:

“Si Zhiqing, did you finish eating so quickly?”

"Um!"

Si Ningning nodded casually and ran straight to the well.

Beside the wellhead, there is a washing pool that is 60cm long and 35cm wide. When washing things, the bucket for water is placed in the pool.

To make it easier for female educated youths to use water, male educated youths reached a consensus that every time they fetch water for the house, they will fetch a full bucket of water and put it in the pool, so that it can be used immediately when water is needed.

There were only vegetables for lunch, but no oil or water. Si Ningning tilted the bucket and poured some water out. After flushing the lunch box twice, it was clean.

She turned around and walked back. As soon as she entered the house, she bumped into Xu Shuhua coming out with a lunch box.

"Finished?"

Xu Shuhua smiled and spread her hands, "Thanks to you, I haven't eaten like this in two or three years."
