Chapter 91 Favors
“I made mosquito coils in the afternoon to drive away mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were buzzing at night and I couldn’t sleep well.”
“Will it work?” Jiang Yue questioned innocently.
Si Ningning said: "It should work."
“Ning Ning, you know so much!” Xu Shuhua said.
Si Ningning was afraid that Xu Shuhua would give all kinds of compliments next, so she hurriedly spoke in front of her, "I read them all in books. I can't say whether they work or not. I just have the mentality of giving it a try... Oops, it's very late. I have to wait for tomorrow." Get up early and go to bed quickly!”
As he spoke, he put his legs on the blanket and turned sideways, looking very sleepy.
However, the room did become quiet.
The three girls had a good night's sleep without any dreams, but Si Ningning was different. She noticed that the other three were breathing heavily and gradually fell asleep, so she quietly went to the main room, ducked into the space, found labor gloves and an ox-head ax, and started chopping without complaint. The bamboo branches are forked to build a cucumber frame.
Having been working on and off for two days, the cucumber trellis is in the final stage. Because the melon vines grow quickly, Si Ningning vaguely remembers that it needs to be branched out.
She knows a little bit about cutting wheat and growing vegetables, but cutting off branches really involves her blind spots.
Si Ningning could only go by his feelings, leaving the main stem of each melon seedling and selectively removing the auxiliary stems. Of course, the pinched auxiliary stems and vines were not wasted, and were all thrown into the pig pen to feed the pigs.
Pig feed has basically bottomed out, and cucumber vines can temporarily top it off.
At noon that day, after washing up in the space, Si Ningning walked along the bamboo forest to the educated youth spot. When he reached the side of the house, he bumped into Huo Lang.
There was a thick hemp rope hanging from Huo Lang's right shoulder. When he looked back, he discovered that it was a basket with a rolled up mat standing in it.
This is a gift for her!
Si Ningning hurriedly stepped forward, "So fast? I was wondering if I had to wait two more days!"
As he spoke, he went up to pick up the things. Huo Lang sidestepped and walked toward the door steps with the basket in his backhand. "It's hot and the sun is strong, and the hot water dries quickly."
During this period, Huo Lang glanced at Si Ningning and said, "Why are you going to the back mountain alone?"
Si Ningning felt a little guilty. She turned her eyes to one side and scratched the side of her face with her index finger. "I didn't go to the back hill, so I walked around behind the house to see if there were any bamboo fungus."
The two of them had already reached the door. Huo Lang stopped and Si Ningning picked up the mat from the basket in his hand. "Thank you. Have you finished the candy last time? I'll get you some more."
"No need." Huo Lang shook his head slightly and put the basket down on the spot. "The snakes, insects, rats, and ants have all come out. It's best to bring a pole with you when you go to the bamboo forest and walk around and knock."
"Oh..." Si Ningning nodded hesitantly. Anyway, when she came over, Huo Lang had already turned around and walked out more than ten meters. She glanced at the basket at her feet, quickly put the mat against the door, picked up the basket and chased for a few steps, "Hey! You forgot your things!”
“For you.”
Huo Lang disappeared from the side of the house. Si Ningning stopped and asked, "Is it for me?"
Looking down and looking around, the cyan and beige color of the basket in his hand has not completely faded away. It is obviously newly made.
This person is really a person. Could he be a mind reader?
Although she really needed this, she didn't say it out loud last time...
Does she owe someone a favor now?
Si Ningning was thinking about it, packing the mat into a basket, and thinking about taking it into the house together. Only then did she realize why Huo Lang helped her carry it to the door.
It is indeed not heavy to carry a mat or a bamboo basket alone, but they can be stacked together and the weight is not light.
