Chapter 170： Go to the county

Chapter 170 Going to the County

After thinking about it for a long time, Si Ningning decided to teach these children tongue twisters and idioms first.

But whether it’s tongue twisters or catch-phrases, Si Ningning racked her brains in order to make these children remember them as quickly as possible.

Children in rural areas are different from children in cities. They have certain disadvantages, and of course they also have certain advantages. For example, compared with children in cities, these little carrots need to know more about rural farming and growing melons and beans. Trivial matters.

Hence, if you teach something related to this aspect, they will remember it faster.

Si Ningning thought about it, and then she paid attention. She adjusted her working position, moved to a place close to the shade of the tree, and said to the little carrots: "I will teach you a jingle first. Who can know it first?" Whoever memorizes the best will be rewarded. Do you have the confidence to learn well?”

"have!"

"have!"

The loud voices came and went.

Si Ningning bent her eyes and smiled, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and uttered a long jingle: "Grow melons and beans before and after Grain Rain, radish and cabbage at the beginning, and good rapeseed at the end of the day. Turnips are harvested at the winter solstice, and cabbage is harvested during the light snow. Onions are grown in white dew, and garlic is grown in cold dew. Onions are not harvested at the autumnal equinox. After the frost, sweet potato seedlings are planted. One can produce a big basket, and tomatoes can produce five or six layers. Don’t worry about removing the buds from the top.”

The faces of the little carrots changed suddenly, and before they spoke, the uncles and aunts who were busy at the side heard clearly what Si Ningning was reading, and they all smiled and praised: "Si Zhiqing, you are so eloquent!"

Si Ningning also laughed: "It's not that I'm a good eloquent person, it's just the tips for growing vegetables passed down from my ancestors."

“Then it’s not easy to read this long list!”

Si Ningning smiled helplessly and did not respond.

She finally understood that as long as these uncles and aunts want to praise someone, they can praise you for anything you say.

Si Ningning turned her eyes to the little carrots under the shade of the tree and smiled softly: "How about it? Can it be done?"

…”

After a period of silence, two little bald heads took the lead and said vaguely: "I, I think I can! But I need the teacher to read it a few more times!"

Not bad, at least I didn’t run away from the battle.

Si Ningning nodded and told the little carrots that she would read one sentence, and they would repeat it again.

Si Ningning taught the formula and worked without any delay. However, the dust under the straw was really heavy, and she choked twice during the process and kept coughing.

However, the little carrot heads are also considered very capable. After Si Ningning led him to recite it three times, starting from the fourth time, some children were able to stumble and read it from beginning to end.

Si Ningning was very pleased.

Seeing that it was almost time to go back and cook, Si Ningning put the wooden branches back into the straw pile and said to a group of little carrot heads: "Let's go here first. We will continue in the afternoon. If you don't have anything else to do, you can just recite and memorize it. It deepens the impression, you know?”

“Got it! Teacher!”

Si Ningning blushed again, turned around and said hello to the other uncles and aunts, then waved Sanae and Hegu back to the educated youth point.

Si Ningning simmered rice for lunch, and the dishes were cold purslane and a bowl of honest pork liver soup.

During the meal, the other educated youths had not come back yet. The three of them sat together at the table. Si Ningning observed the situation of the grain. After changing the chopsticks, the grain tasted delicious, but when he ate the garlic in the purslane, he felt disgusted. Blink straight.

“Second brother, are your eyes uncomfortable? Why do you keep blinking like that?” Sanae didn’t know, she squeezed her eyebrows together and asked curiously with a pout.

Hegu shook his head, holding the purslane in his mouth awkwardly.

Si Ningning tapped her index finger on the table and said with a smile: "Garlic makes cold dishes taste better. If you don't like garlic, just eat pork liver. Pork liver replenishes blood."

Hegu took another piece of purslane with his chopsticks and said seriously: "Actually, garlic is not very delicious. Si Ningning, I discovered that as long as it is dipped in the soup below, this cold dish will be delicious."

The soup base of cold purslane is rich in ingredients, such as oil, soy sauce, cold vinegar and sesame oil. The taste is certainly not bad.

Si Ningning didn't say anything clearly, but just told the two little ones to eat well, walk around the door to eat after eating, and wait for the educated youths to come back and finish eating, then take a nap.

The two little ones responded obediently, but after eating, they did not hang around the door to eat as Si Ningning said. Instead, they squatted by the well and pool, playing in the water and reciting to each other what Si Ningning had taught him in the morning. jingle.

The educated youths who had finished eating looked surprised. After washing their faces with water to remove the heat, they jokingly asked: "What are you talking about?"

“I don’t see it. You two are so young, but you already know how to grow vegetables?”

“This is what Si Ningning taught me.”

Hegu raised his neck, his awkward and arrogant look made several girls and boys laugh.

With a smile on her face, Xu Shuhua entered the room and put down the washbasin. Seeing Si Ningning holding a book and reading it, she sat over and said, "I finally understand why you are so kind to these two little ones."

"Huh?" Si Ningning glanced at Xu Shuhua, motioning for her to continue, and then her eyes fell back on the book.

Just now, based on memory, Si Ningning made a copy of the clothing layout that was disassembled in space at the back of the accounting book.

The T-shirt has a simple structure, as I just reviewed, and the details are exactly the same.

"It's lovely." Xu Shuhua said and laughed again, looking dazed as if she was missing something. "My youngest sister should be about the same age as them, but a little thinner than them."

“There’s a lot of pressure in the city, and not everyone can have a stable job. With a large family, it’s inevitable.” Si Ningning sighed.

Xu Shuhua nodded, approving it.

After a while, Xu Shuhua turned her head and looked at the book in Si Ningning's hand, "What are you looking at? You will be holding this book when I come back."

Xu Shuhua recognized this as the book that Si Ningning used to keep accounts.

In addition to keeping accounts, Si Ningning usually puts it on the bedside and doesn't touch it much. Today, he kept staring at it. Xu Shuhua was worried that there was something wrong with the account.

"Here." Si Ningning handed the notebook to Xu Shuhua and let her read it openly, "I have been working hard every day in the countryside during this period. I have grown taller and I feel so cramped to wear several clothes, so I want to study making clothes. craftsmanship.”

Si Ningning leaned back lazily, slumped on the bed and yawned, "When the time comes, it's better to try to do it yourself than to bother the sister-in-law on the team. Not to mention spending money, and always being in debt is not good."

Xu Shuhua nodded and felt that what Si Ningning said made sense, but soon sighed: "You think about things too simply. It's not easy to save cloth tickets."

"Not always."

I was tired in the morning, and now my body was very weak. I fell asleep as soon as the breeze blew. Si Ningning yawned again, with two drops of crystal physiological tears falling on the ends of his slightly raised eyes, and his long eyelashes.

“Huh?” Xu Shuhua was confused. Si Ningning lay crookedly on the bed, holding her chin in one hand as she lazily woke Xu Shuhua: "The countryside is not as good as the city."

“Many people in the city are able to earn wages, and most of them only have short-term wages. How can they scrape together a few cents to buy cloth?”

“But it’s different in the countryside. Various bills are issued regularly every month, every quarter, or at the end of the year. Under each commune brigade, the commune members have to work in the fields every day. How can they find time to find a way to make money?”

So this has resulted in a phenomenon that rural people will be relatively rich if they have cloth tickets and other tickets in their hands. After all, money and tickets are indispensable for buying things.

After hearing this from Si Ningning, an idea flashed through Xu Shuhua's mind, but before she could grasp it, she rejected it.

Originally I thought about exchanging the cloth stamps here and sending them to my parents, brothers and sisters at home, but then I thought about it, cloth stamps are the same as food stamps, divided into regional stamps and national stamps.

As the name suggests, the national ticket can be used anywhere, while the regional ticket is limited to the location on the ticket and cannot be used elsewhere.

If her family's financial situation is the same as that of Si Ningning, maybe she can have her family send money, and she can buy the cloth here and then send it back.

But what about the facts? Her and Si Ningning's family backgrounds were vastly different.

Xu Shuhua sighed softly, put aside the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind, and said with a smile: "Although I can't make clothes, I can make shoes. If you have leftovers from making clothes later, you can save them, and I will help you then. …”

After muttering for a long time and seeing no movement around her, Xu Shuhua turned her head and saw that the confident and beautiful girl had her head tilted to one side. Her long and thick eyelashes like small fans cast a light shadow on her lower eyelids. She had already fallen asleep unconsciously. .

Xu Shuhua sighed softly and smiled helplessly for a while. She gently helped Si Ningning take off her shoes, moved her legs to the bed and adjusted her sleeping position slightly. She stood up and opened the window to the maximum. Xu Shuhua left the room.

Hegu and Sanae were still jumping around in front of the door, talking to each other in jingle. Xu Shuhua listened silently for a while, then waved to Sanae.

“What’s wrong, sister educated youth?”

 Xu Shuhua has many younger brothers and sisters at home, and she is quite experienced in getting along with children. She bowed down and asked with a gentle smile: "It's hot outside playing, do you want to go inside and take a nap?"

Si Ningning fell asleep today, and naturally there was no way to free up the mat. Xu Shuhua originally thought of letting the two little ones go into the room and sleep on her bed for the time being. She could just sit at the table in the main room and nuzzle for a while.

After she finished speaking, Sanae turned her head and looked at the grain under the shadow of the tree, "Second brother?"

Sanae is fighting for opinions.

He Gu clapped his hands and stood up, and asked in confusion: "Where is Si Ningning?"

“Ning Ning fell asleep.” Xu Shuhua answered truthfully.

He Gu was not familiar with Xu Shuhua and didn't believe what she said. He immediately ran to the window, held the window coffin with his little hands and glanced inside. After confirming that Si Ningning was really asleep, he turned around and walked back to the door. .

"Thank you, Sister Educated Youth, let's come back later." He Guheng said to Xu Shuhua in front of Sanae.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the side of the educated youth spot house.

Sanae trotted slowly behind, "Second brother, wait for me!"

Hegu is very spiritual, in other words, very smart.

He is willing to be with anyone he likes. It is difficult for him to get close to people he does not like or is not familiar with. But at the same time, in terms of politeness and etiquette, as long as it is something that an adult has pointed out, he will not make any mistakes.

Xu Shuhua has many younger brothers and sisters, and she has seen how children can have tricky tempers. She was not angry when she noticed Hegu's rejection and alienation.

On the other hand, I think this is a perfectly normal behavior for a child to recognize his own child.

In the final analysis, it’s just a matter of laughing it off.

The weird atmosphere in the Educated Youth Point only lasted for one morning. After that morning, everyone in the Educated Youth Point went about their duties, as if everything had returned to the far point, but also as if it hadn't.

For example, the girls are still laughing and laughing every day.

Another example is Mo Bei in Male Educated Youth. His temperament seems to be a bit colder than before. After that afternoon, or should I say after that morning?

No one saw him smile again.

The young man has been strangled before he can understand the hazy thoughts in his chest.

Symbolizing beautiful, romantic and sacred love, before it even touches the slightest bit of sweetness, it is poured cold water on it and tastes all the frustration and sorrow.

Probably no one except Mo Bei himself can understand his complicated change of mood.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. After two consecutive days of intense busyness, the time finally arrived when Si Ningning and Huo Lang agreed to go to the county.

On the afternoon of the first day in the county, Si Ningning went to the team to open a letter of introduction. In fact, she felt very uneasy because she had not come forward to do this from beginning to end. It was all done by Huo Lang. When she opened the letter of introduction, she was worried that something would happen. He ran into Zhao Hongbing's black face.

However, what was surprising was that Zhao Hongbing was very polite to her and even said some polite words that made her confused:

“Si Zhiqing, you are an educated person. It should be easy for you to teach people. I leave this matter to you. You must do your best!”

“Our third is the production team to distribute grain at the end of the year, and it’s up to you!”

Si Ningning responded vaguely, probably guessing that Huo Lang had stopped some work for her.

Zhao Hongbing said it very seriously. Si Ningning thought and prayed in her heart that the work that Huo Lang had assigned her was not a high-intensity and difficult-to-complete job.

Otherwise, neither she nor Huo Lang will end up well when the time comes.

As an educated youth, Si Ningning didn't have much chance to go to the county. This time, he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to go. Si Ningning was very grateful to Huo Lang and definitely didn't want to hold him back in such a matter.

Back at the educated youth spot, Si Ningning briefly talked about the errands he had to do in the county tomorrow. When Xu Shuhua and the three of them discussed who would take over the cooking duties for the day tomorrow, Si Ningning was washing around with a little trepidation.

When it was late at night and the girls all went to bed, Si Ningning went into the space to tidy up again, and almost all the things that might be used the next day were packed out before going out to sleep.

The sun and the moon turn around, the stars move around, the thick ink in the sky fades away, and a layer of fish belly white gradually appears in the east.

Si Ningning had already sat up from the bed as the faint sound of rooster crow came.

Several girls in the room are still sleeping. Perhaps they are too tired from their daily work, and they occasionally snore lightly.

Si Ningning gently stood up and washed herself. Finally, she scattered her hair and combed it smoothly. She ran her ten long fingers through her hair and quickly tied it up.

Si Ningning shook his head to make sure his hair was not loose, then got up and walked towards the production team.

Going to the county is different from going to the town, especially with Huo Lang. Carrying a large basket is too eye-catching, so Si Ningning only carried the khaki one-shoulder backpack she brought from home, plus a military water bottle.

Digression:

A Yao cried: I have tenosynovitis in my right hand. I will take a day off tomorrow!

It will be updated on time the day after tomorrow, 3w update on 4.11. You must love me and always love me! I will work hard! Awesome!
