Chapter 186 The "Flower" That Shows Its Beauty

After walking along the path for three to five minutes, the two stepped into the woods again.

The surrounding trees are not as dense as when we were by the stream just now, the scattered sunlight pours in, and the ground is dry.

Due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, Si Ningning could only rely on Huo Lang in front to lead the way.

During the time following Huo Lang, her little hands didn't stop. She picked a large handful of pink or white wild wheat flowers, removed the excess stems and leaves, and adjusted them to form a round ball, which was very delicate and beautiful.

Shaking the bouquet left and right to look at it, Si Ningning just nodded to express his satisfaction, when he saw a blur of white in front of him from the corner of his vision, and then raised his eyes, he saw a flower tree towering like an umbrella in the shade of the pattering trees.

The flowers and leaves are few and small, with tens of thousands of branches and side branches, and on the top of each branch, there are white flower balls formed by the condensation of several small flowers.

It is a wooden hydrangea, the flower ball is beautiful and blooms very big.

Si Ningning stopped at the first sight.

Her thoughts may be rather vulgar, unlike some people who say "beautiful things" just look at them, let's enjoy them together, she likes the flowers on the branch, so she wants to break one and take it away.

Ever since, the little hand subconsciously grabbed the corner of Huo Lang's clothes.

Huo Lang glanced at her, and put down the hoe and the basket, "It's right here."

Huo Lang knew that there were flowers and trees here, and from the first time he went up the mountain, he knew that Si Ningning liked flowers and plants.

This is probably why, every time before a trip, whenever he realizes that there are large fields of flowers or special flowers near his destination, Si Ningning is the first thing that comes to mind in his mind.

As for today's...

It must be said that he planned it in advance.

Although, at first I just wanted to thank you.

As for now... who can refuse to witness the opening of a "flower"?
Huo Lang lowered his gaze, and used a hoe to simply clean up the surrounding fallen leaves to create a small clean place.

Si Ningning jumped a few times at the bottom of the tree, but he couldn't reach the flowering branches, so he gave up temporarily and came back to pick up the basket on his back, "I brought pancakes and eggs, and a little cold spring onion, I don't know if you can get used to it , always try it!"

While talking, take them out one by one.

The pancakes and marinated eggs wrapped in oil paper, and the cold green onion shreds in the lunch box, when the lid is lifted, the red and domineering color inside is revealed.

That's the color of paprika.

Unlike chili oil, chili powder is more eye-catching in color, but it is not as greasy and has a less heavy taste.

If you like spicy food, you can choose it to mix some relatively refreshing side dishes.

"I brought it myself." Huo Lang glanced at the things that Si Ningning took out, brushed his hair and sat cross-legged in front of Si Ningning, took the pannier and took out a small cloth bag from it.

Si Ningning stared at Huo Lang's movements, and saw him take out four dark brown bumps from inside.

It was at that time that she saw the bran vegetable dumpling at Chen's house.

Comparing the two, the one in Huo Lang's hands is not a matter of shaking one or two degrees.

However, Huo Lang didn't feel any embarrassment. On the contrary, he was very frank: "As long as you can eat enough."

In the most difficult time before, I even gnawed on the bark and vegetable roots. It was so cold that there was nothing to eat, and a dried chili that was as long as a finger could last for a day.

It doesn't make sense that when life gets easier, I start to show off, dislike this and that.

Si Ningning really admires Huo Lang, especially after vaguely inferring his previous experience.

"I'm not saying bran vegetable dumplings are not good. After all, the situation now is different from yours before, and you are now a strong laborer who does so much work every day. How can you keep eating like this?"

Si Ningning was fully prepared, this time he even brought his chopsticks.

Taking a pair of chopsticks, she picked up a thin pancake. Si Ningning put shredded green onion in the middle of the pancake, and finally rolled it up and handed it to Huo Lang. Her pretty face was turned to one side, and her chin slightly raised her chin to signal Huo Lang to reach out, "Occasionally." You should also cherish yourself and eat something good."

Moreover, working in the county can cost more than ten or twenty yuan a month, and it’s not that the conditions do not allow it, so why should it be so hard.

Huo Lang stared at the little white hand that reached out to him, raised his deep eyebrows and asked, "Like the rabbit last time?"

Si Ningning frowned, stared and said, "Hurry up, your hands are sore!"

Huo Lang didn't answer, but took out a stack of tickets from his pocket and handed them to Si Ningning.

Before Si Ningning could ask, Huo Lang explained: "You want to keep He Gu and the others to eat, these are food tickets, I won't let them go if I charge less."

"..."

Si Ningning was a little speechless, how could he be so arrogant?

With previous negotiations, Si Ningning didn't refuse. After receiving the ticket, he held the cake and passed it forward, "Then you, can you eat now?"

Huo Lang nodded and took the opportunity.

Si Ningning let out a sigh of satisfaction, seeing Huo Lang bit off half of the burrito, chewing it sweetly with his strong side jawline, her lips curled up, feeling inexplicably in a good mood.

Putting away the stack of tickets, Si Ningning continued to discuss, "Here are some more, here are the chopsticks... You can eat shredded green onion alone or roll it up, if you don't like it, you can eat pancakes, ah... There are also eggs."

The little girl had a bright smile on her smooth cheeks, and she didn't know what she was laughing at?Pass things to him in one go.

After Huo Lang finished eating a piece of cake, he finally couldn't help but hold Si Ningning's hand to pass the egg to him, "I'll do it myself, you can eat too."

"Ok!"

After a leisurely lunch, when he was half full, Si Ningning, out of curiosity about bran vegetable dumplings, broke off half of a dumpling from Huo Lang and tasted it, only to regret it after taking the first bite.

It was very hard and dry, and after chewing it was like eating sand... and it seemed that there was no salt or any seasoning, and the taste was bland and difficult to swallow.

It can be summed up in two words: unpalatable!

Three words: it's hard to eat!
Si Ningning's pretty face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

Seeing her expression, Huo Lang knew that she couldn't bear the smell of bran and vegetable dumplings, so he reached out to pick it up, but Si Ningning sideways dodged it.

"Why? It's mine."

Si Ningning glared at Huo Lang, bowed his head and ate half of the bran vegetable dumpling into his mouth, and finally chewed and swallowed hard with his hands on his chin.

Xiao Ning, who wears a military green bottom and a red five-pointed star hat in her heart, clenches her fists and cheers:

Well done Si Ningning!Salute to the veterans of the revolution!
After finally swallowing it, Si Ningning's throat was scratched by the rough feeling and he gasped.

Huo Lang handed the kettle to her, his deep peach blossom eyes slightly pressed down and wrinkled, "You know you can't eat it, but you insist on it?"

Si Ningning shook her head, picked up her water bottle and raised it to signal that she had brought water.

After taking two sips of water to relieve the dryness in his throat, Si Ningning licked his glistening lips, and said solemnly: "We should neutralize it. I usually eat refined grains, and occasionally some coarse grains to mix it up. What about you? There are a lot of coarse grains, so I have to eat some fine grains occasionally."

After finishing speaking, Si Ningning turned his deer eyes, and added when he thought of something, "Always eating dry food will hurt the stomach. The most obvious point is that it is hard to go to the toilet. I didn't lie to you."

Xu Shuhua and the others in the educated youth spot went to the toilet for at least half an hour, and they were almost exhausted when they returned to the room.

Huo Lang furrowed his deep brows, and suddenly he felt that the bran vegetable dumpling in his hand was no longer fragrant.

But he still didn't waste it, and ate up a few bran dumplings.

Si Ningning didn't have much appetite. After eating three pancakes and an egg, he was already full.

Pushing the scallion pancakes and lunch box covered with oiled paper towards Huo Lang, Si Ningning pretended to be serious and told him: "I'm full, it's all yours, don't waste it! If it's such a hot day, if you cover it all afternoon, the designated food will go bad." .”

Then, right under Huo Lang's nose, he leaned back like a lazy snake, leaning against the hydrangea tree, stretching his waist and yawning.

It was the season when it was easy to get sleepy, and once you were full and the cool breeze was blowing, the sleepiness became more obvious.

Si Ningning wiped away the physiological tears from the corners of his eyes, "It would be great if I could sleep for a while."

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." Seeing Si Ningning half-closed his eyes in a daze, Huo Lang's thin lips slightly opened and closed, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "It's late, I'll call you."

"……Um."

Under the thick and ancient flower tree, the girl with delicate face is like a spirit transformed from flowers. At this moment, she sleeps peacefully, snuggling up quietly under the tree. The wind drives the flower branches, and the rain of white flowers falls down. The picture is as beautiful as Like a dream.

That kind of "pounding", "pounding", the unfamiliar and familiar voice resounded through the ears again.

The man frowned deeply and lowered his head slowly.

The generous palm fell into a bright and clean flower petal at some point.

The man stared at the petals in a daze, only for a short moment, he slowly tightened his palms, and tightly held the petals in his hands.

You don't know, I don't know about the esoteric question of "the wind or the flower branches", and probably only the person concerned knows it.

……

Si Ningning woke up an hour after falling asleep. When he woke up, there were only four hydrangeas in the basket next to him, but it looked like the entire basket was full from the outside.

Si Ningning pulled the back basket to look at it, and found the small green package on the side of the back basket.

The small package was made up of green leaves, wrapped layer by layer, and finally wrapped with a thin silk vine, which should have been made by Huo Lang while she was asleep.

Si Ningning was a little curious, pulled away the filamentary vines, and the layers of green leaves unfolded like lotus petals, revealing the things wrapped and protected inside.

Raspberry...

It is the kind of prickly porridge that I ate on the mountain last time.

Si Ningning didn't expect there to be one nearby.

She picked one up and put it in her mouth, so sweet that her eyes were bent into crescents.

Just about to eat the second one, a voice suddenly came from one side: "Just wake up and go."

Huo Lang came out from the shadow of a tree a few meters away.

Si Ningning nodded and stood up, wanting to re-wrap the prickly pears, but he didn't know the technique of wrapping them with leaves.

Si Ningning gave a "tsk", crescent eyebrows frowned so distressed that he knelt down to pick it up.

Huo Lang stretched out his hand to stop it, "If you drop it, you will drop it. This thing is not worth much. You can eat it anywhere you want."

Yu Bi took the messy green from Si Ningning's hands, tidied it up a few times, and wrapped it into a small package that fit perfectly before throwing it back to Si Ningning.

Si Ningning pouted and said, "You said it was everywhere, so why didn't I see it?"

Huo Lang didn't answer but instead asked, "Do you want me to carry your flowers, or you?"

"I'll carry it myself!"

The wild wheat flowers picked at noon must have wilted, Si Ningning simply didn't want it, and followed Huo Lang with a light basket on his back, humming a little tune and returning to the soybean field.

Si Ningning fixed a few hydrangeas to soak in the stream, clapped his hands and came to the ridges.

The soybean fields have generally been treated, and now it is only necessary to dig holes and sow beans.

Huo Lang is tall and heavy, with a strong body, and he can't use up all his strength. He went down with a few hoes, and there was already a row of small pits 5 in width and [-] in depth in the ground.

Si Ningning picked up the bag of bean seeds on the ground and followed his footsteps. Before the beans were scattered in his bow, he heard Huo Lang's voice ordering: "It's enough to pit three or five bean seeds."

"understood."

Two people, one digs the bean pit and the other sows the bean seeds. The division of labor is reasonable, and it only takes about ten minutes to sow a row of land, which is very efficient.

It's too boring to just bury your head and work dullly.

It would be fine if he worked alone, but Si Ningning couldn't bear that kind of boring energy when the two of them were together.

So after 2 minutes of silence, she began to chatter again: "You said yesterday that the Hongqi commune has a side business, so doesn't our commune have a side business?"

Huo Lang thought about it and replied: "The geographical location is different, and the positioning of each commune is different. For example, there used to be a school in Jiling Commune, but it stopped due to some factors in the first two years. After that, it didn't open again."

Si Ningning nodded, and then asked: "I think the geographical conditions of our production team are also good, and there are many places with yin and yang and humid places around, and a lot of bacteria can grow without artificial cultivation. If artificial cultivation is not effective, the effect will be even better." Significant?"

Huo Lang paused for a moment, as if deliberating, and replied after a while: "The members of the team all make a living from farming, so it's okay if you let them farm, but growing mushrooms may not work."

"I can learn it! Don't say it so deadly. Besides, according to what you said, didn't they also try to grow lotus roots at the Hongqi Commune?"

This matter is not too big or small, but if it is really going to be done, it will definitely not be so easy.

Involving the interests of the entire production team, if there is no one who really knows how to do it, it will inevitably be hindered everywhere.

Huo Lang didn't understand these things, but seeing Si Ningning's enthusiasm, he deduced that Si Ningning might understand something, so he changed his tone, and his low hoarse voice was filled with imperceptible connivance: "If you understand, try it, as long as it works, I'll talk to the captain."

"Then I'll do some research, and I'll tell you if there's a drama!" Si Ningning said happily.

Of course, Si Ningning doesn't know how to grow mushrooms, but she knows the habits and cultivation principles of some mushrooms, so maybe she can try it.

Thinking about it this way, Si Ningning suddenly felt that she had a goal, and the unchanging easy life was followed by a little bit of difficulty, waiting for her to overcome it.

To grow mushrooms, "seeds" are definitely needed.

Si Ningning was thinking, and turned his head to look at Huo Lang. Under the brim of the wide straw hat, a small face was flushed and sweaty, "I need mushrooms for the experiment..."
