Chapter 147

Horang touched the thin bamboo stick in his hand on the back of the cow, and the buffalo with black skin and sparse hair began to move around dragging the stone wheel.

Si Ningning wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked in the direction that Huo Lang pointed just now. The sun turned and a cloud of coolness had formed under the straw pile at the edge of the threshing floor.

Looking around and finding nothing he could do, Si Ningning trotted to the shade and sat down, waiting for Huo Lang's next order.

As soon as he sat down, he remembered that there were freshly picked cucumbers in the bucket. Si Ningning got up, grabbed the bucket and took out the cucumbers, and asked: "Comrade Huo Lang, I have cucumbers stuffed by the aunts here, do you want to eat them?" ?”

Holang said nothing.

Si Ningning pursed her lips, and the uncle who was threshing wheat smiled and said: "Why don't you want cucumbers to quench your thirst? Comrade educated youth, Alang probably didn't hear you. Send it to him and he will keep it."

Holang concentrated on driving the cattle. One end of the wooden peg was placed on the back of the cattle, and the other end was dragging the stone roller. When he took a step, he made a "creak" sound. The sound was not loud, but it was very harsh.

Si Ningning felt that it was very possible that Huo Lang really didn't hear her.

After thinking about it, she picked up two cucumbers and walked towards Huo Lang, "Here."

 Huo Lang glanced sideways at the emerald green cucumber. He originally wanted to say no, but when he saw that Si Ningning was blinded by the sun, he was silent, bowed and took the cucumber away in his little hand.

“…” Si Ningning was speechless for a while, then he added, “What a big mouth.”

He has a handsome face, with his cheeks stretched out of shape.

…”

This time he turned into Huo Lang who was speechless.

He couldn't make a move. He felt that the scene just now was like the little girl feeding him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

The awkwardness now is completely broken.

Huo Lang swallowed the cucumber in two mouthfuls, looked at Si Ningning and started to drive people away: "Go over there and sit down. The cow will turn around and give you a head in a while."

Si Ningning was a little afraid of the **** bull, so she took a step back and asked, "Is there another one?"

“I’ll finish it in a while and I’ll get it myself.”

"oh!"

Si Ningning turned back along the original road.

There were four small cucumbers in the bucket. She also sent two to the uncle who was threshing wheat next door. After that, like a good baby, she sat in the shade and ate the melons while chatting to the uncle next door:

“Comrade educated youth, do you also cultivate land in your cities?”

“There are some who farm. But they usually grow cabbage and the like. I haven’t seen any food growing there.”

“Then what do you usually eat?”

"Well..." Recalling his original memories and his understanding of this era, Si Ningning explained thoughtfully: "Most people in the north eat pasta. There is commercial grain in the city. Most of this grain is grown in rural areas across the country and then transported. past."

City people have a greater chance of entering state-owned enterprises, and the treatment is indeed much better than that of people in the village.

Afraid that the uncle next door would misunderstand and think it was unfair, Si Ningning added: "We farm in the village, and we can divide the grain and meat every year based on work points. The commercial grain in the city is not free, and it is supplied according to the grain and oil budget every month. Give me money and a ticket and go to the grain station to get it.”

“Ah…it requires money but also a ticket. This is no different from buying it!”

Si Ningning nodded, "That's right. However, the monthly supply of grain and oil is fixed, 30 kilograms per month for adult men and 28 kilograms for women, which can be considered a kind of guarantee."

The uncle inserted the wheat straws that had been stripped and stacked them together, and sighed: "It's fixed, how can we get so much money and tickets every month? I used to think that people in the city enjoyed happiness, but now it seems like this How about us mud-legged people from the countryside?"

“Each has its own advantages.” Si Ningning responded casually.

What she didn’t say was that urbanites are more likely to enter state-owned enterprises. If they enter state-owned hotels, post offices, textile factories and other enterprises, the monthly salary is as low as 18 yuan, and non-leadership employees can get up to 43.5 yuan. , as well as various ticket subsidies.

If you live well, you can get benefits such as food stamps and industrial vouchers, not to mention money and food stamps.

It’s just that it’s hard to talk about. Wouldn’t it just add to the trouble?

We are all human beings, so how come you have been working so hard for a year and are just able to have enough food and clothing, while others are living in such a grand and comfortable life just because they are from the city and have the upper hand in everything?

If you really say it, no one will be happy.

The topic stopped there, and then the uncle happily praised Si Ningning, "It doesn't matter whether you are a city person or a country person! We are all the same. But if you ask me to say that you educated youth comrades who have studied are still different. "

“The water that Alang handed over just now was made by you, Comrade Educated Youth, right? It tastes good!”

The members generally have low levels of education and cannot speak fancy words. They speak in a more down-to-earth manner. If something tastes good, it tastes good. If it tastes good, it tastes good.

“Let’s go.”

While thinking, Huo Lang's voice came to my ears.

Si Ningning looked over and saw that the threshing floor had been flattened and compacted, and the water stains on it had dried up.

She followed Huo Lang with a kettle and bucket, "Is this good?"

"Um."

"All right."

After following Huo Lang for a while, Si Ningning suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and asked Huo Lang, "Hegu is your brother?"

"Um."

“Sanae is your sister.” Si Ningning stared at her toes, and this time she spat out a statement.

“Hmm.” Huo Lang responded and asked, “What’s wrong?”

"Nothing." Si Ningning shook her head, coughed slightly, and muttered: "I'm just a little curious..."

"Um?"

What are you curious about?

"That's the one…"

Feeling that it was a bit awkward to ask no matter what, Si Ningning thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I have been in contact with Hegu. I don't know if you know about this."

“I’ve also met your sister Sanae, and I think there’s a big gap between them.”

Huo Lang understood immediately and took the initiative to challenge Si Ningning's meaning: "You think Hegu is too thin."

Si Ningning shook his head, but after a second, he nodded quickly.

Yes.

He Gu is too thin.

The neck is so slender that people worry that when he runs or exercises strenuously, he will not be able to support the weight and his head will suddenly fall off...

Sanae, on the other hand, is in the opposite situation to Hegu. Her face has blood color and roundness that is visible to the naked eye.

Si Ningning had never thought of asking Huo Lang. When she went to fetch water just now, Zhou Xiaocui mentioned something about grain, and she remembered to ask Huo Lang.

Actually, my initial thought was whether Holang was treated differently, but then I thought, Holang doesn’t look like that kind of person.

After pondering for a long time, I decided to ask what was going on.

While talking, the two of them and the cow had already walked to the forest path full of wild roses on both sides.

Pink or white wild roses blow in the breeze and join in the fun, their petals falling by the feet or in the bucket.

The fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and the forest is cool and refreshing. The whole summer seems to become melodious, peaceful and beautiful in an instant.

…

Huo Lang let out a breath and looked away from Si Ningning, looking aimlessly in front of him, "That child must have some health problems." Huo Lang frowned deeply, and there was a hint of helplessness in his peach blossom eyes. His hoarse voice sounded sad: "I've been to several major hospitals and can't find any problems, so I can't tell you anything."

Have any health problems? The hospital can't see it yet?

Horang’s two sentences successfully aroused Si Ningning’s curiosity.

Her peach lips pursed slightly, she tucked her wind-swept hair behind her ears, and asked thoughtfully: "Does this question have any characteristics? Maybe..."

“How can I help?”

"Help? You?" Huo Lang turned his head and looked at Si Ningning with his deep eyes, but when he looked into those dark deer eyes, Huo Lang hesitated.

Si Ningning…

Maybe it’s really possible?

When he first took over He Gu and San Miao, they were only four years old.

They have been together for three or four years, which is not a short time. Basically, it can be said that Huo Lang has been by their side since He Gu and Sanae had memories.

But judging from the current situation, Hegu seems to be closer to Si Ningning than Huo Lang, the "big brother" in his heart.

Horang carefully recalled the time he spent with He Gu in the past, and went through them one by one for a long time: "He is not very good at eating, whether it is coarse grains, fine grains, or even meat."

“Irritable.”

“Crying without warning…”

…“…picky.”

Horang talked a lot intermittently. Si Ningning listened carefully, and at the same time he also had some questions in his mind:

“Are you so hungry that you can’t eat anything? Also, what’s the best way to be picky?”

Thinking about it, Si Ningning asked again: "What about hygiene?"

She remembered that when she first came into contact with Hegu, Hegu repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to get close to her because she looked "clean".

Thinking about it like this, Si Ningning couldn't help but think about it more carefully.

Lately, Hegu has been very careful when he is in the pig pen and never participates in the games played by other little carrot heads.

Even if I sit down, I will carefully smooth the stones clean before sitting down...

Si Ningning still had the original idea that Hegu probably really had mysophobia.

Not only is the situation much more serious than imagined, but it seems that there is more than just this kind of mental illness.

Sure enough, I heard Huo Lang reply firmly: "No matter how hungry I am, I will not take the initiative to eat. I have to coax...sometimes I will vomit it out after eating."

“Picky, also in terms of hygiene.”

Si Ningning’s crescent eyebrows furrowed slightly, and in less than a second, her expression suddenly brightened.

Excessive love of cleanliness may be mysophobia!

Would rather be hungry than resist eating...

So, it’s anorexia! ?

Whether it is a mental illness or a physical illness, as long as you can identify the problem, you can prescribe the right medicine!

Although Si Ningning is not a doctor, she comes from the future. There are diseases that doctors in the current era cannot even diagnose. Maybe she can give it a try!

"I'm not completely sure that I can cure Hegu, but I believe that I can help him!" Si Ningning swallowed, raised her head and looked at Huo Lang seriously and firmly, "Can you let me try?"

She did not ask Horan if he believed her, but made the request frankly.

The little girl has a pretty face, like a spirit in the forest, which perfectly matches the blooming roses on both sides.

At this time, her black eyes were bright, shining with determination and eagerness, and she seemed to have full confidence.

To be honest, Huo Lang didn't think Si Ningning, a young girl from the city, could solve the problem that neither the county hospital nor the city hospital could detect.

Looking at those bright eyebrows, he couldn't say no.

Perhaps it’s because of the indulgence of an older senior to the younger generation, or maybe it’s because beautiful people always have some privileges...

At the end, Holang nodded, "Okay."

…Things may not get better, but they won’t get worse either.

"Yeah! Great! Then tomorrow... no, some time later, you ask Hegu to go to the educated youth center to find me after breakfast every day. I want to observe it first."

“Hmm…I have to see how far He Gu is now, and then I can try to formulate a treatment plan after I understand everything!”

The little girl jumped up and down happily, smiling brightly with her side eyes for a while.

Hong Lang did not hesitate at all to her requests and suggestions, and nodded in agreement.

"good."

Gradually walking out of the tree-lined path, the bright sunshine suddenly fell on her body. Si Ningning was so shaken that she couldn't open her eyes. She put her hands in front of her eyes and slowly adapted. Little did she know that during this period, Huo Lang's eyes had been watching her.

Physiological tears stimulated by the sunlight were hanging from the corners of the little girl's eyes. She looked a little delicate and a little pitiful.

Recalling her suggestion just now, Huo Lang felt that Si Ningning was probably an enthusiastic girl.

Thinking about it, my heart suddenly softened, and I blurted out: "The thorns in the mountains are about to ripen. Do you want to take a look?"

“Prickly bubbles?”

Si Ningning’s eyes flashed blankly, but soon became clear again.

Although she didn’t know what thorn paoer was, she could hear the word “山里”.

There has been no rest during this period. Although Si Ningning is not as hard-working as other educated youths, as a "modern person" who is used to freedom, she is indeed a bit restrained.

She wanted to go to the mountains to relax and unwind.

But…

“I want to!” Si Ningning replied languidly, with a bit of regret: “But I don’t seem to be able to spare much time recently..."

Holang was silent, thought about it, and said, "You are responsible for the pig pen work. The busiest times are probably at ten o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Leave at eleven o'clock and come back before four o'clock." As he spoke, Huo Lang turned sideways and looked at Si Ningning, "If you can spare the time, we will go tomorrow."

These two days can still squeeze time.

  If it were two days later, we would have to wait until a month later to finish farming. By then, even if the scallops are not out of season, they will be almost eaten by tits.

Holland paused and asked again: "So... do you want to go?"

“Yes!” Si Ningning answered extremely firmly and quickly this time.

Opportunities are hard to come by, so I’ll put off other things for the time being...

Only by relaxing and sorting out your emotions can you improve the quality of your work.

“Then when the time comes…”

"I'll pick you up."

Huo Lang answered directly and straightforwardly. Si Ningning was slightly stunned. She clenched the handle of the bucket with both hands, curled her eyes and said "Okay" with a smile.

Holang drove the cattle to a small stream not far from the production team to drink water. After drinking the water, he turned back and walked towards the team.

He went to the team’s cattle pen to return the cow. During this period, Si Ningning was following him. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Return the cow, what next?”

Digression:
