Chapter 272 Boundary Sense

"These branches and trunks are very troublesome to deal with. I remember that there were a lot of wooden boards piled up in the room where the educated youth ordered the female educated youth, some of which were already showing signs of rot, and there was nothing else that could be done." Zhao Hongbing nodded and laughed: "Alang will come to my place later to get the keys, and use those wooden boards for everything, just to put the rabbit cages in after the house is vacated. It's not a problem to always pile up in the main room, it's so congested."

"Okay, uncle, I'll come later." Huo Lang agreed without hesitation.

After Zhao Hongbing left, Huo Lang turned his head to Si Ningning and said, "Uncle is the same as Uncle San De, they are all of us, so don't feel uncomfortable."

Si Ningning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I still need some time to get used to it."

"Yeah." Huo Lang nodded in response, and told Si Ningning to sit and rest, as long as he came to the rabbit cage.

But mentioning Gu Sande, Huo Lang unconsciously said a few more words, "The camellias are in full bloom this season, do you want to take a look? By the way, go see Uncle Sande."

This is the second time Si Ningning has heard Huo Lang talk about camellia. The first time was at the beginning of October, but this time it was already the end of October.

The camellias bloom intermittently in early October, and can continue to bloom until March of the next year. Now it has entered the flowering period for half a month, and the number of camellias blooming on the mountain should not be small.

In other words, you should witness another visual feast since the beginning of autumn.

Si Ningning thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, but we need to discuss the past time."

Huo Lang threw the sawn piece of wood aside, turned around and looked at Si Ningning curiously, "Is there anything we need to discuss, can we go directly?"

"You were not allowed to entertain you in the past? Although you will be given food coupons for meals, they have to spare time to prepare, right? How about going empty-handed?"

Si Ningning glanced at Huo Lang, as if she knew what Huo Lang was going to say, she didn't give Huo Lang a chance to speak, and continued: "There is no need to prepare such expensive things, I will go to the mountain to have a look in the next two days... "

"I saw a fallen pine cone on the ground last time. Let's see if I can find anything else. Let's get some back and process it ourselves. The things we make are made out of our hearts, and they may not be worse than those we bought."

Si Ningning was good to herself and to others, and never stingy. Huo Lang knew that she had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more, and only said in a low voice while working:
"Then follow what you said. Tell me what you want, what you lack, and what work you need to do, and I will do it."

Si Ningning looked at Huo Lang pretending to be angry: "Why don't you let me do it? You are so beautiful!"

Huo Lang laughed and shook his head, but said nothing.

The weather turned cooler at the end of October, and the dark time was much earlier than before.

Si Ningning joined Huo Lang's side, and after helping nail two boxes and shelves together, Si Ningning stood up and prepared to leave, "I won't be here tomorrow morning, let's go to the mountains the day after tomorrow."

Horan paused and asked her, "Is there anything else?"

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded, and said frankly, "Tomorrow, I'll go to town and buy some small things."

"Why didn't you let me bring it back when I went to the town yesterday? It's so far away, you have to run again."

Si Ningning blinked, his eyes curved into small crescents, "There are some things you can take with you, but there are some things you can't carry."

Hearing what she said, Huo Lang probably realized something, but before he could speak, Si Ningning was afraid that he would go with him, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm going back, it's not good to go back too late... Tomorrow You want to cook by yourself, don’t do it! If you can do it, Hegu and Sanae are still growing up!”

After the voice fell, the person had already ran out of the courtyard with braids.

Huo Lang rubbed the shallow stubble on his chin, looked at Si Ningning's back as he was bouncing away, and he replied "OK" after a while.

On the other hand, why did Si Ningning insist on going to the town and refuse to let Huo Lang accompany him?
It's because she went to the town and it's not as simple as "selling" things.

The purpose of this trip is to hand over the monkey head, and the second is to return the key borrowed from Fu Hongshu and fulfill the promise made at the beginning.

The latter matter is easier to talk about. At the beginning, it was said that the loan was for one month, and now there are still ten days before the due date. As for the promised pork, it is even easier to say.

The pork from the first five pigs collected in the space will only be consumed after eating and selling, and there are still a lot of shaved ribs and ribs left.

Excluding those, there are still four pigs, so what is a mere twenty catties of pork?
The only thing that worried Si Ningning was Monkey Head. The amount of this transaction was relatively large.

Furthermore, as I said before, half a month has passed. This time, because of some trivial matters and the recent miscellaneous busyness, Si Ningning has forgotten about it, and suddenly remembered that the time has been delayed by more than half of the agreed time. week.

Si Ningning was worried about what would be disclosed.

After twists and turns all the way back to the educated youth spot, Si Ningning took the clothes hanging on the tree beside the house and took them back to the room and sat by the bed to fold them up.

Jiang Yue sat over at this moment, "Si Ningning!"

Jiang Yue shouted in a low voice, but after shouting, her voice fell silent.

"What's the matter?" Si Ningning took the time to glance at Jiang Yue, then quickly lowered his head and continued to fold the clothes, "Do you have something to say?"

Jiang Yue is the type of person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. She usually chats away from far away. Once she gets close to her side and tends to whisper, Si Ningning knows that she has something to do.

Jiang Yue twitched a bit, and then tentatively opened her mouth after a while, "I think you've been busy with yourself lately?"

There was something in these words, and Si Ningning sensed something wrong, and stopped folding the clothes in her hands. She raised her head and looked straight at Jiang Yue with round, dark eyes, and asked in a serious and serious tone: " Are we friends?"

Jiang Yue was stunned. Although she didn't understand what Si Ningning meant by asking this suddenly, it didn't affect her speed of answering the question, "Of course it is!"

"Since we are friends, we should understand a truth."

"Ah?" Jiang Yue was a little confused.

Si Ningning was silent for a while, feeling that saying "keep a reasonable distance" was a bit hurtful, so he sighed and said in a soft tone: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but there are some things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. It’s fine when we get there, if we insist on speaking out, it will make our points worse.”

Si Ningning knew what Jiang Yue was going to say, it was nothing more than the close contact between her and Huo Lang.

Although she clearly knows Jiang Yue's good intentions, she is no longer a child. According to her real age and experience, she is far beyond Jiang Yue and everyone in the educated youth spot for two or three years. She has the most basic ability to distinguish between good and bad and right and wrong.

Furthermore, Si Ningning feels that emotional matters are personal privacy, and it is inappropriate for anyone to intervene without asking for help, whether it is for her or for everyone else.

Si Ningning has a strong sense of boundaries in her heart, and she doesn't like others meddling in her privacy.

Jiang Yue heard Si Ningning's overtones, and understood that this was Si Ningning's point and warning, although a bit embarrassed, Jiang Yue still chose to accept it calmly, "Then I won't say it, you are more measured than us, I believe that your choice will not go wrong."

The embarrassment is only a momentary thing, and it's really nothing. On the contrary, if you look at the whereabouts in detail, Jiang Yue feels that the way of getting along with Si Ningning is quite good.

The most uncomfortable thing is to be straightforward and say what you have to say, so that you don’t feel uncomfortable because of a word from the other party but don’t say it clearly.

"Yeah." Si Ningning smiled brightly, patted Jiang Yue's shoulder twice, folded the clothes and pushed them into the bed, "Pack up and prepare to eat. I just came back and heard from Shuhua that I fried eggs tonight, one for each person."

"Wow! Is it true? So rich?" Jiang Yue was distracted by the fried eggs, and then returned to her usual startled and silly look.

Si Ningning "hummed" and explained with a faint smile, "Because the food rations have been saved recently, considering everyone's health, it's rare to be extravagant once. I guess the eggs under other praises will have to be discussed and wait for everyone to get them from the supply and marketing cooperative after a few days off. Go sell it, and then exchange some money tickets to subsidize life and make up for the shortfall in everyone's life."

"This is a good idea, I support it!" Jiang Yue found the lunch box and raised her hand, then winked at Si Ningning after a while, "It will depend on your plan then, financial master!"

"Come on!" Si Ningning gave Jiang Yue a blank look.

They had already walked to the main room while they were talking, and when the others heard their conversation, they couldn't help but interject a few words to make fun of Si Ningning, and the entire educated youth spot was very noisy and lively.

After dinner, as Si Ningning expected, everyone really discussed the topic of selling eggs for money, especially after knowing that Si Ningning was going to town the next day.It's even more like entrusting her to take it to sell.

Si Ningning silently raised his hand, "I have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?" Everyone turned to look at her.

Si Ningning waved his hand, "You guys need to confirm whether you want to sell it first, and I'll talk about it when you're sure."

The group of people didn't ask Si Ningning to wait at all, Qiqi responded: "Yes!!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't sell it! If you can't find a way to subsidize some daily necessities, you can't live on that little ration even if you tighten your belt." Li Lingyuan smiled wryly.

Si Ningning nodded knowingly, and turned her gaze to the others. Seeing that everyone looked very determined, she coughed lightly and expressed her thoughts:
"There is a gap between the rich and the poor everywhere. There is nothing wrong with saying this. Anyway, eggs are sold everywhere. Why don't you ask your own people first? If your own people have needs, you can pay whatever price you want, so you don't have to carry so much money." Far."

sell to one's own...

Li Lingyuan and the others were in a daze for a while, and then their eyes fell on Si Ningning, Mo Bei, Song Shuhan and the others.

Si Ningning was just making suggestions, not advocating forced buying and selling, so he quickly stood up and added: "The supply and marketing cooperatives collect and sell in the market for four cents each. If you want to eat eggs, you can buy them, and if you don't want to eat them, you don't want them. Look at your own situation."

Saying that, Si Ningning scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't want it for the time being, the portion I keep for myself is enough for the time being."

There are a total of six chickens at the educated youth order. Because of Wu Yong's transfer, the chicken that originally belonged to Wu Yong was rounded up by Si Ningning. One portion, she has one more portion than others and she doesn't plan to sell it, so it is naturally enough to eat.

And this is an external statement, leaving aside the eggs ordered by the educated youth, there is still a chicken laying eggs in Si Ningning's space!

The second-generation chickens that hatched later are almost ready to lay eggs.

Everyone could understand Si Ningning's explanation, so the group turned their attention to Mo Bei and Song Shuhan.

Si Ningning watched from the sidelines, feeling like he was about to slap his mouth.

It's obviously a suggestion, and it's not forced to buy and sell, but why does this picture look like forced buying and selling, and it's impossible not to buy?

Si Ningning is hesitant here, while Mo Bei has already given the answer, "I want it."

Song Shuhan considered it for a while, then pushed his glasses and laughed politely, followed by him: "Then I want it too!"

They don't know how to cook. It would be good if there are enough eggs. From now on, they can cook them while boiling water every morning. It is convenient, quick and nutritious.

When the voice fell, the matter was finally finalized.

Xu Shuhua put a kerosene lamp by the table, and Song Xiaoyun cooperated with Jiang Yue to bring over the large earthenware pot that contained the eggs. After counting the eggs eaten today, there were exactly 42 eggs left.

Counting six eggs per person based on the head, Si Ningning got two equal to twelve eggs. Everyone divided up their own eggs first, and then "sold".

Xu Shuhua, Jiang Yue, Song Xiaoyun, and Li Lingyuan each held six eggs, a total of 24 eggs, and Mo Bei and Song Shuhan each shared twelve eggs.

A total of [-] cents was shared among Xu Shuhua's four people, but each person could only get [-] cents.

Although two cents is not much, it should not be underestimated. Things like coarse grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., can be bought with the members of the team, which is a big bag, and can fill the stomach for several days. If you plan to save some Of course, eating can last longer.

When Mo Bei and the others went back to the house and brought the washbasin to hold the eggs, Si Ningning had already vacated the bamboo basket on the small bedside table and packed away his share of eggs, and had already invited Xu Shuhua and others, whose hearts were settled for the time being, to go back to the house Get water and wash.

The matter at the educated youth spot is settled, and then there is the matter of going to the town tomorrow. Si Ningning has a clear goal. The main purpose of going to the town this time is to return the keys and pick up the full amount of the pork, and pick up other bits and pieces. Just hand things over to Monkey Head to change hands.

He has already made a big ticket, and the money in his hand is enough for now, Si Ningning doesn't plan to take the risk of getting more supplies to sell.

Although the things are not taken from her own hands now, she is still tied to the same boat with Monkey Head and Gu Yang. Neither development nor cooperation is a good thing.

So it's better to be a little less aggressive.

Si Ningning thought about it, taking advantage of the time when the few people around him were asleep, he carefully entered the space to clean up.
