Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 370
Huo Lang was skeptical, and Si Ningning held the little vest. He followed the suggestion and squeezed it. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he felt the softness from his palm. He raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes to see Si Ning Ning.

"This is……"

He fox asked: "Is it filled with duck feathers?"

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded vigorously, folded his hands and smiled, lying on the table and looking sideways at him, "How is it? What do you think?"

Huo Lang withdrew his gaze, took the little vest as if he had encountered some rare object, held it in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, squeezed it repeatedly, "It's very soft, it's light in the hand, can it be so thin to keep out the cold? And this Where did you come from, that fancy little gown?"

Huo Lang asked if there was any other meaning to the origin, mainly because he had never seen or heard of anyone using duck feathers to make clothes.

"I bought it in Beijing by chance before I went to the countryside. It's very warm. After wearing it for a long time, the circle around the shoulders and the edge of the pocket are worn out. I just put another layer of wood on the top."

Si Ningning's expression flickered, and he reached out and touched the new thread on the shoulder and side sleeves of the vest.

Huo Lang looked over in response, and before he could say anything, Si Ningning hurriedly asked, "It's really warm, I didn't lie to you... Do you think it's okay?"

"Hmm..." Huo Lang let out a low "hmm".

Holding the duck feather clothes in his hands, he could feel the warmth gradually condensed in his palms without covering them. It should indeed be warm, but after all, it is thin, so it is really hard to say whether it can really keep out the cold.

But having said that, during the past few years in province H, Huo Lang has seen everything going on here.

Economic crops such as cotton are generally only planted one by one, and there is no place and money to make grass-roots production brigades to plant them widely, so not every household can afford cotton.

It usually takes several years to save up a cotton coat and a winter quilt. If the family has a large population and cotton and fabric resources are in short supply, it may not be possible to turn around in five or eight years.

This is not an exaggeration.

If the duck feathers can really be used... Leaving aside the sideline business, it would be great to be able to take care of a few people in the production team.

However, holding the soft vest and pinching it again, Huo Lang also discovered some details.

The clothes are so soft, obviously not all duck feathers can be used, how many feathers does a duck have?

Only soft duck feathers are available, how many ducks are needed to make a piece of clothing?
Huo Lang's heart sank just now, and he slowly handed back the clothes to Si Ningning, speaking in a calm and sophisticated tone:
"It looks pretty good, but after all, we and Uncle Sande are not in the same brigade commune. I can go over and talk about it. The specific situation depends on their own ideas."

Si Ningning blinked and nodded seriously: "Of course!"

Although the plan is to use the things that can be used around me to create income, but it is not so easy to do this, and there are many ways to do it.

I don't know what's going on now, so Si Ningning can't say much.

Just wait for Huo Lang to bring back the exact news later. If Gu Sande is willing, then we can talk about further details.

"En." Huo Lang nodded, looked sideways at Si Ningning for a long while, and then said reluctantly: "Then I'm leaving? First send the rabbit to Uncle Hongbing's house."

Si Ningning smiled and nodded, with his palms facing in and the backs of his hands facing outwards, "Go ahead, I only heard my uncle scold others for being a poor worker, this time don't let him scold you."

"That can't be."

Huo Lang followed with a low smile. He and Si Ningning went to the rabbit house one after another, and asked Si Ningning which ones he wanted to keep and which ones he wanted to send away. After that, he listed the rabbit cages separately. He has long legs and hands Big, wide open and close movements, firmly clamping the edges of two rabbit cages with one hand, can lift four rabbit cages in one breath.

Fortunately, the rabbit cage made of bamboo strips is not that heavy. The cages nailed out of wooden frames are really heavy. When cleaning up in the past, Si Ningning had to call for one of Xu Shuhua and the others to come with her to remove the cage. carry out.

Not to mention that there were still flopping rabbits in the cage, Huo Lang was just like a normal person, he lifted the four cages and walked out.

Si Ningning was startled, Xiao Bu followed Huo Lang, and at the same time persuaded: "Don't worry about this matter, or you can make another trip, the four cages are too much... "

"It's okay, just rest as you go." Huo Lang smiled dumbly, raised his eyebrows happily, and looked indifferent, "I'm not stupid, can I carry it to the team if I can't carry it anymore?"

"That's not good." Si Ningning muttered softly.

Huo Lang listened to her muttering, and when he buried the steps at the door, he looked back at Si Ningning with a smile, and coaxed: "Okay, I'll be back later, you can take a rest, or go see and pack something. "

"understood."

Si Ningning nodded in response.
Under the eaves of Wu Qingcheng, she stood on the steps and watched Huo Lang leave, until Huo Lang turned the corner and his figure was no longer visible, she slowly turned and entered the house.

The days went on smoothly, and Si Ningning clocked in at the literacy class on a regular basis every day, and then played that trick for a whole day, no matter how busy or not, but those young guys on the team, every day Being ordered by Zhao Hongbing to run here and there, he was either carrying logs here, or throwing slabs and moving bricks there.

The lads kept complaining, but they didn't dare to say anything blatantly. But their family members, such as daughter-in-law or old lady, knew that Si Ningning was the one who started talking about this matter, so they talked about it in private every now and then. Someone would come to the literacy class to grab Si Ningning to say a few words during the short break time.

Si Ningning is the teacher of the literacy class in the team. He raised pigs and cultivated mushrooms before, so it can be said that he shined in the team.

For the time being, she can be regarded as a popular person in front of Zhao Hongbing. Those sister-in-laws and daughter-in-laws dare not say anything serious to offend her, and they come here to say some things for no other reason. How sure it is, whether it can be done, will need fixed manpower in the future, and so on.

Mostly because of the mushroom thing before, these people did not grab the top few places to learn the technology of cultivating strains. Later, I saw Jinzhi and Osmanthus taking the advantage of the advanced scholars to lead the comrades of other production teams to get ration rewards. Envious, but also feel bad.

As soon as they heard that Zhao Hongbing was going to make trouble again recently, and it was Si Ningning who pushed him up, these people couldn't sit still immediately. The first time they had some scruples, they really didn't expect this, so they didn't catch up. This is the second time, they can't miss it again.

It's just that raising rabbits is different from cultivating bacteria. Si Ningning experimented with cultivating bacteria in the past. Now, raising rabbits, she has to take care of the literacy class. At most, she can be a nominal soldier. Help keep an eye on it, and give some suggestions appropriately. For the rest, she just doesn't have so much time to intervene.

This part of the reason is also because it is still in its infancy, and Si Ningning has never understood Zhao Hongbing's detailed plan in the past. Therefore, when these people came to ask her, her answer was also very one-sided, mostly what it was:
"It's hard for me to say these things, let's see how the captain arranges it."

Or: "It's nothing else. When this matter really needs to be done, I guess it's because of the lack of manpower for cleaning and mowing the lawn? Just tidy up diligently. It's nothing too technical."

Those sister-in-laws and daughter-in-laws didn't understand anything, so they believed what Si Ningning said, and thanked Si Ningning with kind words and waved their hands, and went home together.

Song Xiaoyun, who was caught in it, was a little difficult.

The literacy class was over at noon, and the children went to eat in the canteen of the dormitory not far away. Si Ningning took out the lunch box from his bag, and originally planned to have something to eat in the canteen at noon. The door was blocked.

"Ningning..."

"Uh……"

Song Xiaoyun suddenly appeared, which shocked Si Ningning a lot.

Si Ningning patted his chest and saw that it was Song Xiaoyun, so he took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoyun? What's the matter?"

Glancing at the sky outside the door, Si Ningning slightly turned his body sideways and walked out the door, "It's just about time for lunch, have you eaten yet?"

She walked slowly towards the small cafeteria, while Song Xiaoyun followed her side by side wagging her hands.

Song Xiaoyun's eyes flashed back and forth, she hesitated to speak, and finally when Si Ningning opened the lunch box and was about to go to the pot to ask Xu Shuhua to bring her two potatoes, she reached out and grabbed Si Ningning.

"Ningning... I, I want to say a few words to you, let's go to the side and talk, okay?"

Si Ningning frowned slightly with this unusual tone of voice, and this unexplainable gesture. She frowned slightly and recalled what had happened in the past two days. She turned her chin slightly to look at Song Xiaoyun:
"You want to ask me about raising rabbits in my team?"

Song Xiaoyun was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to say "no", but when the words came to her lips, she paused again and nodded hesitantly.

Her two slender eyebrows could not be wrinkled, and her face was full of aggrieved looks like a doormat. Seeing her state, Si Ningning took a deep breath in her heart and asked:

"Did you come to ask, or did someone ask you to ask?"

"Yes, it's me...it's me."

Si Ningning was suspicious, "Really?"

"Mmmmmmmmm!"

Song Xiaoyun nodded hurriedly.

She didn't want to tell the truth, so Si Ningning didn't want to stop asking.

Asking too clearly will not solve anything, and may cause trouble for yourself.

Si Ningning told Song Xiaoyun again what she said to other sisters-in-law and daughter-in-law. Those words may sound perfunctory, but they are the truth.

However, what the sisters-in-law in the team could believe, did not convince Song Xiaoyun.

She grabbed Si Ningning's sleeve and shook it, "Ningning, we are all educated youths, we are friends after all, don't use these words to prevaricate me, just tell me a little, just a little bit, okay? I promise I won't say it out. "

"This is the truth. What can I do to you? Choose people before and after the event."

The worry in Si Ningning's eyes gradually faded, and his expression turned cold.

But Song Xiaoyun didn't seem to see the impatience gradually rising on her face, she continued to pull her and said relentlessly:

"I'm not physically strong, and I really need this kind of work with more work points and less labor! Can you help me? If I don't hear any useful news, they won't give me a good face when I go back!"

At the end, Song Xiaoyun's voice changed slightly, with tension and anger, which made Si Ningning uncontrollably tilt her head and rub her ear.

Si Ningning caught the information in this sentence and quickly asked:
"They? Who? Your mother-in-law? Or Zhao Yongle's brothers?"

Song Xiaoyun opened her mouth, but in the end she pursed her lips and lowered her head, avoiding talking.

In all fairness, Song Xiaoyun didn't say anything excessive, and she didn't do anything excessive to Si Ningning, but for some reason, seeing her like this, Si Ningning only felt angry.

I didn't bother to say anything at the moment, so I buckled up my lunch box and turned my head to leave.

When Song Xiaoyun came out, Mrs. Zhao said harsh words, thinking of those words, Song Xiaoyun immediately stretched out her hand to hold Si Ningning back.

If she didn't ask any questions, would she be told otherwise when she went back? Song Xiaoyun felt suffocated just thinking of Mrs. Zhao's coffin-like ugly and gloomy face.

I can't care about anything now, no matter whether Si Ningning will read her jokes or not, she begged and said:

"My mother-in-law asked me to come... We are separated now but we still live together. I have to watch her face every day and listen to her babble. Ningning, I can't stand it. Please help me! If I If I get this job, I will definitely do it well!"

Si Ningning was in a very complicated mood, what she said was the truth, it was fine if Song Xiaoyun didn't believe her, and what Song Xiaoyun said was very wrong.

After thinking about it, Si Ningning softened his tone and chose to explain calmly: "I am busy with literacy classes every day, and raising rabbits is really out of my control. The captain is busy renovating the old house for a while. He never spoke to me, what he thinks, what arrangement, you believe it or not, but I really don’t know.”

Taking a breath, Si Ningning continued:
"There has never been a free lunch in the world, and there has never been any job with more work points and less labor. Even if you see it, it is not true. After all, whether people are working hard behind their backs or whether they are in other places To give and contribute, you don't know that."

"In the end, you chose this path yourself. We persuaded you, but you didn't listen. Now that things have come to an end, it's meaningless to say anything else. You can live your life on your own. You can't watch it forever. Live on other people's faces."

"You have gone to school, read books, and can read. You are not a country woman who can't read. You are more knowledgeable than most people here, but why do you live your life like this? Why are you being manipulated? You have to reflect."

"Go back. I really want to find a decent and stable job in the team. It's more practical for you to go to the captain than me."

Si Ningning let out a long sigh of relief, broke away from Song Xiaoyun's hand and walked to the stove under the shed, waited for Xu Shuhua to hand her two potatoes, and then immediately closed the lunch box.
