Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 281
Because of her childhood experience, Si Ningning has always been very passive in terms of emotions, not only her attitude will inadvertently become cautious, but in many places, she directly chooses to skip and escape because of fear.

But now is no longer the time to be locked in a room forcibly.

She has grown up.

You can't keep avoiding what you want because you're afraid...

She wants to fight for it!
To defend!Hold on tight to what she wants!
With a firm mind in her heart, Si Ningning's pretty face suddenly became serious and tense. She turned sideways and looked at Huo Lang seriously, her tone as serious as her face: "Comrade Huo Lang, I have something to tell you!"

"...?"

The sudden and distant address caused countless question marks to stand on Huo Lang's forehead.

It can be seen that Si Ningning's expression is serious, and Huo Lang can't help but also be serious.

After taking two steps closer, Huo Lang squatted down on one knee next to Si Ningning, as if he was listening attentively, "What's wrong?"

Si Ningning's deer eyes flickered, and he glanced around nervously, making sure that no third person would hear or see their conversation, then he pursed his lips and slowly approached Huo Lang's sideways ear.

The distance is getting closer and closer, so close that Huo Lang can clearly feel Si Ningning's warm breath and unique fragrance. Just when Huo Lang thought that Si Ningning was about to speak, there was a "boo" suddenly, and the side faces were covered by two people. The piece is soft to the touch.

As if getting an electric shock, Huo Lang covered his face with his big hands and quickly turned around.

Si Ningning's cheeks were hot, his throat was rolling, and his round eyes were pretending to be calm, and he said fiercely:
"Why are you staring at me with two big eyes! Have you never seen such a thing?"

Huo Lang opened his peach blossom eyes wide, nodded first, then shook his head, and then nodded after shaking his head.

Slowing down, Huo Lang recovered from the extreme surprise and shock, and his voice became low and hoarse, "I've seen it now, but I didn't hear what you just said clearly. Can you say it again?"

"?"

"??!"

"!!!?"

Si Ningning stood up abruptly and walked back and forth a few steps indiscriminately. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Huo Lang looking up at her, pretending to be obediently waiting for her.

At that moment, Si Ningning didn't know whether it was shame or annoyance, but Si Ningning only felt his blood surge up.

I don't know how to think about it, but when she realized it again, the gourd waist and bamboo basket she was carrying on her back was already buckled on Huo Lang's head.

"Let you be unruly!"

Si Ningning stomped and ran to the side.

Huo Lang took off the bamboo basket on his head, and calmly grabbed two handfuls.

Annoyed the little girl, and finally had to coax her.

Si Ningning sat on the boulder, staring angrily at Huo Lang who walked in with the basket.

On the other hand, Huo Lang, with a faint smile on his face, put the bamboo basket back to Si Ningning's lap, and he lowered himself and sat next to Si Ningning, "Are you really angry?"

Si Ningning was angry at his indecency, so she didn't bother to talk to him for a while, and turned sideways with a soft "hum".

Huo Lang was not in a hurry, he put his big hands into the pockets of his coat, groping and coaxingly said: "Don't be angry, I have something for you."

Thinking that Huo Lang had come up with some new way to trick her, Si Ningning was not only unmoved, but let out another sonorous "hum", angrily lifting his chin to one side, full of arrogant energy, making it clear Will give Huo Lang another chance to trick her.

"Aren't you curious what it is?"

"Really angry?"

"Comrade Si Ningning!?"

"Hey, Si Ningning?"

Wherever Si Ningning turned, Huo Lang followed. After twisting and turning for a few rounds, Si Ningning was the first to lose his grip and turned back, pouting and frowning, reaching out to Huo Lang: "Oh, what the hell? What is it?"

Si Ningning wasn't really angry, or she wasn't angry with Huo Lang.

She was angry with herself, and she couldn't even get around Huo Lang's prudence.

Obviously she was the one who took the lead, but in the end, she went around and was beaten to death by Huo Lang's tricks.

Just think about the atmosphere.

Thinking of this, Si Ningning pursed her pink lips, and glared at Huo Lang unwillingly.

She let her stare at her, Huo Lang's rough skin is not afraid of her staring, on the contrary he also enjoys Si Ningning's trembling little appearance, he always finds it cute.

Seeing that Si Ningning's attitude eased, Huo Lang smiled dumbly, instead of handing the things to Si Ningning directly, he bent his knees and sat beside Si Ningning.

Huo Lang glanced at Si Ningning's angry little face with a smile on his face, and gently took Si Ningning's hand.

Originally, he wanted to uncover Si Ningning's wrist and sleeves, and then put the prepared gift on to surprise Si Ningning, but as soon as he touched Si Ningning's wrist, Huo Lang vaguely noticed a trace of it. Something is wrong.

Immediately, the gentle smile on his face faded slightly, and Huo Lang raised his eyebrows suspiciously. He opened Si Ningning's sleeve and took a look. As expected, there was already a watch on that slender and tender wrist.

Plum Blossom watches.

It was carved out of the same mold as the one he brought.

"When did you buy the watch?" Huo Lang frowned and asked Si Ningning, "Why didn't you tell me when you bought the watch?"

"Ugh?"

Si Ningning was slightly taken aback, took a look at Huo Lang's big hand, and realized what was going on when he saw another identical plum watch.

"Bought it for me?" Si Ningning was overjoyed at first, took out the watch from Huo Lang's hand and played with it for a while. After she calmed down, she explained to Huo Lang in a charming manner: "I gave you the pocket watch. There is nothing to tell the time, so of course I have to buy one.”

"If you want a watch to tell the time, I'll just buy it. What do you buy yourself? A waste of money."

Si Ningning glanced at Huo Lang in puzzlement, and asked back, "Is it the same if you buy it? They are all the same price. How can you say it is a waste of money?"

"This is different." Huo Lang choked on Si Ningning's words, frowned deeply, and took Si Ningning's hand like a child playing with a temper, going to take off the watch on her wrist, "Take this Return it, wear it and I bought it for you."

Si Ningning twisted and evaded, "I've been wearing it for a while, how bad is it to return it? And I'm sure they won't return it!"

"If you go, she will definitely not back. If I go, she will." Huo Lang insisted.

Seeing that Huo Lang was really serious, Si Ningning felt a little shaken in his heart, and unconsciously grabbed Huo Lang's arm with both hands, coquettishly, "Oh, stop making trouble, Huo Lang!"

Huo Lang stopped, frowning and looking at her silently.

Si Ningning pursed her lips, and looked back at Huo Lang seriously with moist deer eyes, "I know they will refund you if you go, but you have a special status, and your privilege should not be used for such things."

"Is this okay?" Si Ningning took off his watch twice, and approached Huo Lang with his slender wrist, which still had a slight watch mark on it, "I'll put away the one I bought, and I'll wear it to you in the future." Let’s not return this one, okay?”

Huo Lang lowered his brows and nodded in silence for a while.

He nodded gently, and while piously putting on the watch for Si Ningning, he said solemnly, "I should buy this."

"Not only watches, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, these things should be bought by me."

Si Ningning was slightly stunned, and from Huo Lang's words, he could vaguely distinguish the reason for Huo Lang's unhappiness just now.

Watches, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, these things, in this era, are usually things that the woman asks the man to buy during marriage, commonly known as "three turns and one ring".

She originally thought it was just a watch problem, but she didn't expect Huo Lang to think so long.

And what should I say?

Is Huo Lang a machismo or a strong sense of responsibility?

Do you think it is the man's obligation or responsibility, so there is no need to distinguish any special circumstances, and he must bear it alone?

Si Ningning frowned lightly with her slender brows.

Although I don't care much about these, I don't agree with this point of view.

"What do you think?"

Huo Lang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Si Ningning.

"Huh?" Si Ningning suddenly came back to his senses, "Did you say anything just now?"

"Yeah." Huo Lang nodded, his deep and handsome face was filled with a gentle and shallow smile like a spring breeze, "I said that the place here is small, and there are not many decent things to buy. After another two years, Hegu and the others Get older, and when the situation stabilizes, I'll take you back to Beijing."

"It's more prosperous there than here. You can buy TV sets, electric fans, and four-wheeled cars if you inquire about them."

"At that time, when it's hot in summer, you can turn on the electric fan at home, and I'll make you two big watermelons, and watch TV while eating."

"It's cold, if you want to stay in the house and watch the stove, you can watch the stove. If you don't want to stay in the house, I will buy a soft recliner in the yard. You can go out to lie down, sit and enjoy the sun from time to time. bask in the sun."

Huo Lang's voice is hoarse and gentle, creating the illusion that the imaginary future is in front of him.

Si Ningning's heart fluctuated for a while, and his throat rolled for a long time. The deer's eyes curved into a smile and asked gently and obediently: "You arranged me so well? What about you?"

"Me?" Huo Lang leaned back, put his hands on the big rock under him, looked up at the swaying treetops in the breeze and continued: "I support a family, and I usually take care of work. Take you out for a walk."

While talking, Huo Lang tilted his head and looked at Si Ningning with a smile, "You are an educated youth from Beijing, you must have been to all memorial halls and the Temple of Heaven Park, but the feeling of going by yourself and going with me must be different."

"When the time comes, we will go to Jingshan Park and Temple of Heaven Park together. You are lively and like new things. You must also like to watch movies. I will take you to watch them together."

There may be a macho tendency in Holland's words and deeds, but he is different from others.

His starting point is always based on Si Ningning, and he hopes that with his own ability, he can not only meet Si Ningning's needs in life, but also hope that Si Ningning can live a stable and comfortable life without worrying about trivial matters.

Si Ningning is also aware of this. Although the two of them have not yet reached the stage of marriage, it does not affect her, like Huo Lang, who has expectations for the future.

"I've been thinking about making clothes recently. If there is a day, I'll make clothes for you!"

"Say something unlucky? Of course there will be that day."

for sure.

Huo Lang silently added in his heart.

After sitting with Si Ningning for a while, Huo Lang got up and lifted the basket, "You just sit here, and I'll go pick up the hazelnuts."

"En." Si Ningning nodded.

Watching Huo Lang go out and squat down a few steps, he stretched out his hand to pick up the hazelnuts one by one and threw them into the basket. Si Ningning unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a few sips of water to rehydrate his body. Carrying a small bamboo basket, he also joined the queue of picking hazelnuts.

Hazelnut is also called mountain chestnut. The wild tree is generally three to seven meters high. Because the fruit usually grows on the back of the leaf and is wrapped by smaller leaf petals, it is more difficult for ordinary people to find the hazelnut on it if they do not know the hazelnut tree.

The most obvious example is Si Ningning.

But having said that, although Si Ningning is not good at finding the ones on the trees, she is able to spot the hazelnuts that fall on the ground.

According to Huo Lang, there are many similar nut trees in the mountains, such as hazelnuts, acorns, and pecans. Picked up a few acorns and pecans.

The fruit of the hazelnut is a bit bigger, and Si Ningning ate a few raw with his teeth, and the nuts inside were also plump compared to the other two.

The hickory nut shell is the most difficult to remove. After removing the outermost coat and cracking the shell, the nuts inside are just lost.

Si Ningning originally said that he would not pick hickory nuts, but then he thought that this thing should be quite resistant to burning, and it is not big, so it will be suitable for burning the stove at night when the weather is cold.

Si Ningning shared his thoughts with Huo Lang, and Huo Lang nodded immediately, "Then take it with you, if you can save unnecessary expenses, save money, and use the saved money to buy what you want, it's more practical."

"Ok!"

"Acorns to pick?" Holland asked.

Acorns don't taste very good, but they seem to be good if they can be used as firewood for the stove.

"If you have it, I'll pick it up together. If you eat it, you have to process it... I've eaten acorn jelly before, and it's also quite delicious, with a unique fragrance."

Si Ningning nodded, described the acorn jelly to Huo Lang, and briefly described the method.

When Huo Lang heard that acorn kernels could be ground into powder for rations, he immediately refused to let go of hazelnuts, acorns, and hickory nuts. If he found them, he would throw them all into the carrying basket that he dragged with him.

In two hours, Si Ningning and Huo Lang worked together to pick up more than half of the basket of nuts, weighing at least 30 kilograms.

Beckoning Huo Lang to go to a cool place for lunch together, Si Ningning opened the oiled paper package and asked curiously: "There are so many nuts in the mountains, no one in the team will pick them up?"

"Not many people know about it, and even if they do, they won't be able to spare time." Huo Lang shook his head, "The children are free, but this place is hidden danger after all, who dares to let the children go up the mountain?"

Si Ningning nodded, "Oh", and agreed.

Thinking of something for a while, Wan Wanyan smiled and joked: "Isn't that cheap for us?"

Seeing her cunning and playful appearance, Huo Lang couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth slightly, "Where is this? Go deeper..."

Having said that, Huo Lang stopped to look at Si Ningning, as if he knew what Si Ningning was thinking, his tone was serious and there was no room for negotiation: "If you want to turn around, I will help you, but you can only come here, not go Deeper in the mountains."
