299 Generals (10)
The rabbit was sold, the rice and noodles were bought, there were still more than fifty yuan left in their pockets, and there were twenty bills of various kinds, Ning Xiguang and Mingguang were very relaxed in their hearts, and the pace of the return trip was a lot brisker.
They didn't stay on the black market for long, but neither of them had the heart to continue looking. There are also moonlight and little girl at home, a little girl, a delicate and timid little girl, Ning Xiguang is really afraid that the two of them will cry with fear.
Because of the concern in their hearts, the two trotted all the way back when they returned.
When I got home, it took me more than an hour at most, which was less than when I went to the county seat.
Ning Xiguang knocked lightly on the door, and soon there was movement in the house, and the moonlight almost ran out to open the door for the two of them, and she was followed by a sleepy-eyed little girl.
The little guy's sleepy eyelids couldn't be opened, and he still held the corners of the moonlight's clothes and didn't let go, obviously he was also afraid.
After Ning Xiguang entered the door, he picked up the little one, and the little guy called the eldest sister aggrievedly, and then lay on Ning Xiguang's shoulder and fell asleep in seconds.
Ning Xiguang beckoned Mingguang to lock the door, and then the sisters and brothers returned to the house lightly.
Moonlight pulled the sack, and when she saw that it was empty, she smiled on her face, "Something sold?"
Xiguang was busy taking off his shoes and undressing Xiao Mi, stuffing him into the quilt, and Mingguang excitedly answered Yueguang's question.
first told her how much money she sold, how many tickets she earned, what kind of bills they were, and then showed her the rice and noodles she bought.
"I've never eaten such good rice. It's too much waste for the eldest sister to buy so much. β
Ning Xiguang settled the little one, and just when he heard this, he said, "What kind of waste is this, there are four people in the family, and we are all growing up and eating a lot." This brown rice is only ten catties, and it is not enough to eat for a few days with an open stomach. β
"And those noodles, which are also black noodles, although they are fine grains, they are not as delicious as white noodles. The eldest sister will work hard to catch more prey, and next time she will exchange it for money, so that you can eat fine grain earlier. β
Moonlight looked dreamy, "I don't even know what fine grain tastes like." Although I really want to eat, but there are many things to buy at home, and the cost is also large, the eldest sister will come elsewhere first, and it is good that we can eat enough, and we don't want to eat much. β
"Okay, okay, eldest sister knows. Come back to bed, it's getting late, and you have to go to work tomorrow. β
That being said, how can Moonlight and Mingguang sleep?
The family has more than 50 yuan in savings, which is really a huge amount of money.
In this day and age, it is very remarkable that every household can save 20 yuan a year, and each family has a deposit of 50 yuan, which is absolutely rich.
Are they also stepping into the ranks of the rich?
However, the expenses of the family after that are also very large, and I can't wait for the next time the eldest sister goes to the county seat, the money will not be half spent, so I still have to work hard to earn work, and then go up the mountain with the eldest sister to hunt some prey.
Unconsciously, the sound of breathing in the room became even, and Ning Xiguang gradually fell asleep in this peaceful atmosphere.
When she woke up the next day, it was already dark, and the few small ones on the bed were still sleeping soundly.
Mingguang was still snoring, obviously tired yesterday. Moonlight and Xiao Qi both shrank into the quilt, only their heads were exposed, and there was a smile on the corner of their mouths.
That's great!
Ning Xiguang got up lightly to make breakfast, and when breakfast was ready, he softly called Yueguang and Mingguang to get up.
"Eldest sister, what time is it?" Moonlight muttered without opening her eyes.
Mingguang looked at the bright sky outside, and immediately sat up, while answering Moonlight, "Get up quickly, it's already dawning." Sister, why didn't you call me earlier, I'll get up and cook. You're still hurt, and you're definitely tired after traveling so far yesterday. β
"It's okay, I can't sleep when I wake up, so I just get up. When I'm sleepy during the day, I'll be able to sleep a little longer. β
For breakfast, Ning Xiguang boiled rice porridge, boiled eggs, baked a few dough cakes, and mixed a mother-in-law, which was very hearty.
Because I bought brown rice that was not shelled yesterday, in Ning Xiguang's opinion, I couldn't eat it at all, so the rice I cooked this morning was smuggled out by Ning Xiguang from the space buckle.
This rice is fragrant, and Moonlight couldn't help but sigh after only taking a sip, and shouted, "No wonder everyone likes to eat fine grains, this fine grains are really delicious." β
"This cake cabbage is also delicious. Mingguang Road.
Although the cake is a black flour cake, when Ning Xiguang made noodles, he smuggled four eggs from the space buckle and knocked them in, and also took a little white flour from the space buckle and mixed it inside, the dough was kneaded strongly, the cake was rolled thin, although there was no oil, it could be passed in the hot pot for a while, and it was also very delicious to roll it up with cold vegetables after taking it out.
Because I made a lot of breakfast, and I made a lot of money yesterday, Moonlight and Mingguang both opened their bellies and ate a meal.
One person drank three bowls of porridge and ate an egg, Moonlight ate three cakes, and Mingguang ate five.
The sister and brother went out to work with their stomachs contented, and after Ning Xiguang waited for them to leave, he took out the fungus and others to dry.
After doing this, she had the energy to spy on the Marshal's movements, and she didn't know what he was doing now.
Ning Xiguang spread out his spiritual power, but after a while, he couldn't help but wonder that Lord Marshal didn't live in the Educated Youth Academy, this shouldn't be.
After rummaging through the Educated Youth Academy again, Ning Xiguang found that the two female educated youths who came together yesterday lived here, but as for the marshal, and the kid who came with the marshal, they didn't know where they went.
She was about to expand her mental power and rummage through the entire Liushutun, and her mental power keenly captured the conversation between the two female intellectuals. From the conversation between these two people, Ning Xiguang knew that it was because there were not enough rooms in the Educated Youth Academy, so the two new male intellectuals went to someone else's house to spend the night.
And the house where they stayed was, unfortunately, the old Uncle Meng's house with a very bad temper and an awkward temperament.
In this regard, the two female intellectuals also sighed, saying that they didn't expect the male intellectuals who came with them to look cold, but they were actually kind-hearted. Worried that the two female intellectuals and the villagers would not get along, and they were worried that they would be uncomfortable living in other people's homes and being bullied, so they sacrificed themselves and decided that they would go to the villagers' house to spend the night and let the two girls live in the Educated Youth Hospital, these two people are really good people.
Ning Xiguang didn't even believe in the punctuation marks, he just wanted to hehe.
First, it is naturally because there are already three male intellectuals living in the Academy, and there is no reason to let the two new female intellectuals live here when there are not enough rooms, and drive the other two male intellectuals to other people's houses to spend the night. Obviously, five men live here to explain better, but the male intellectuals are driven out and the female intellectuals stay, aren't they afraid of outsiders gossiping?
The second reason is naturally because Uncle Meng is a disabled veteran, and the marshal doesn't go to stay overnight, so he chooses Uncle Meng. What's even more amazing is that the withdrawn old Uncle Meng, who doesn't want to make contact with people, actually accepted them and let them live.
She didn't believe it when she said that there was nothing boring in it.
Ning Xiguang complained in his heart, and he didn't think about it anymore.
She extended her spiritual power to Uncle Meng's house, and sure enough, she saw the marshal, Uncle Meng, and the man who loved to talk and laugh yesterday, and the three of them were sitting together and gossiping.
Ning Xiguang's impression of Old Uncle Meng was taciturn, withdrawn and difficult to contact, but at this time, Old Uncle Meng had a rare kind face and talked eloquently to Fu Siyan.
"Since your grandfather sent you here, Xiao Fu, you should stay here first. Although I don't go around much, I also know that the world is not at peace. The chief's vision is higher than mine, and he sees farther than me, and he has taken great pains to send you here, he must be afraid that things will change and he will not be able to protect you well. If you go back at this time, won't you live up to his old man's wishes, and let him continue to worry about you? β
He turned to look at the man with a hippie smile, "Xiao He, too, since your grandfather asked you to come with you, you should stay well, don't keep thinking about going back to the capital." Now is not a good time, when the time comes, you don't need to worry, the leaders will get you back first. β
"Let's stay in Liushutun, although this side is a little remote, it's good to be remote. There are not so many rights and wrongs, it is stable and quiet, and it is a good place for self-cultivation. β
β¦β¦
The old man gave a lot of instructions, and the man known as Xiao He replied with a well-behaved face, "Yes, yes", "Okay, good", "Listen to you, listen to you", as for the marshal, his reaction was too indifferent, just nodded silently, and didn't say anything.
In the end, Xiao He and the marshal were driven out by Uncle Meng and let them have a good walk in Liushutun.
In his old man's words, "The team only gives you one day to recuperate, you look around, and tomorrow you will have to work in the field, and you will not be so idle in the future." β
The two of them came out, and during this period, Lord Marshal glanced in the direction where Ning Xiguang's spiritual power had expanded.
That look seemed to be very casual, as if it was just swept inadvertently, but Ning Xiguang was weak again.
Gotcha! It's been found again!
But why didn't the marshal look at it coldly this time?
There's a little thief peeping at him, and he's not angry, it's not scientific!
###
Knowing that Lord Marshal and Xiao He had gone up the mountain, Ning Xiguang hurriedly went to the house to wake up Xiao Mi.
The little guy is holding the calf and humming and chirping, obviously holding his urine, but he is still nostalgic for the bed, and he is reluctant to bear it.
Seeing this, Ning Xiguang hurriedly picked up the little guy, what if the little villain couldn't help but wet the bed?
There are a total of four broken quilts in the house, two of them are covered, and two of them are spread flat on the kang, and the urine wets the bed under him and Mingguang, and the two can only sleep on wheat straw at night.
Xiao Qi is quite well-behaved and obedient, and after being picked up by the eldest sister, he opened his eyes and yawned, and he didn't cry.
Ning Xiguang put shoes on him, led him to the thatched house, and then washed his face and hands, and took him to eat.
There were still white water eggs to eat this morning, and the little guy was instantly refreshed. I saw that there was white porridge, there were cakes and cabbage, and the little guy ate fragrantly, and he was happy.
After Xiao Qi had eaten, Ning Xiguang took him up the mountain.
Today's task is to go up the mountain to cut wood.
Yes, Ning Xiguang was going to chop down a few dead logs on the mountain and carry them home.
She plans to change the roof of her home by the fall at the latestβit's unrealistic to build a brick house. Although she has some money in her hand now, and she can still hunt wild animals and sell them for money in the future, she still says that her way of getting money is not right, and she can't say it.
If the money in her hand doesn't come from, she can't take it out, she can't spend it, she is still the poor Ning Xiguang.
Since you are very poor, where do you have the ability to build a blue brick house?
Don't think about the blue brick house, but a thatched house, you can wait for the autumn harvest after everyone in the team is free, and then build another one.
After all, the thatched house really doesn't cost money, the dirt is everywhere, and the thatch is easy to find, that is, the wooden beams and rafters used on the roof, she has to prepare it herself.
And Liushutun is backed by Dafang Mountain, and the most on the mountain is all kinds of trees, which can be used when cut down and dried at home, and it does not cost money.
Ning Xiguang had already aimed at a few dead trees, and he would go and do it now when he was free.
Of course, she absolutely did not admit that she was so active in going up the mountain to cut down trees, mainly to meet Lord Marshal o(β―β‘β°)o
The spiritual power swept to the marshal and Xiao He, and went in one of the directions, and Ning Xiguang hurriedly took Xiao Yi and ran to the dead tree closest to that direction.
Because it is on the periphery of the mountain, it is very safe, and there is no need to worry about the safety of Xiao Qi, Ning Xiguang let Xiao Qi play around, and she took an ax to slam the tree.
After a while, the marshal and Xiao He hadn't seen Ning Xiguang yet, but they had a positive encounter with Xiao Qi, who was running around picking wild vegetables.
Needless to say, how Xiao He teased Xiao Mi, anyway, Xiao Mi was hugged by him in the end.
Ning Xiguang heard Xiao Qi shouting "eldest sister", so he quickly turned his head to look, and saw that it was two "strangers" holding his little brother, so he showed a "vigilant" look.
Fu Siyan didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and Xiao He accused Ning Xiguang with some tears and laughter, "You girl is too bold." In this wilderness, you dare to let your brother run around. If you bite him with snakes or insects, you won't have a place to cry. β
Seeing what Ning Xiguang wanted to refute, he hurriedly said, "Also, it's not just snakes and insects, but also kidnappers who steal children, if someone takes the child away, it's strange that you can catch a girl." When the time comes, it will not be too late to think of your brother for 800 years. β
Where did this come from?
Ning Xi slandered, I don't know how the taciturn marshal made this chattering friend, these two can become friends, is it really because they complement each other!!
She took Xiao Mi over and said first, "People in the village often walk in this forest, and there are no snakes and insects at all." Even if there is, it is not poisonous. Besides, Liushutun is very remote, and it takes two mountains to get to the county seat, and ordinary people can't get in without acquaintances to lead the way, let alone stealing children. What's more, now that everyone is poor, they can't even afford to raise themselves, who will steal a child to raise. β
Xiao Yi mistakenly thought that Xiao He wanted the kidnapper to steal him, so he glared at Xiao He angrily, "You are a bad person! I don't want people to steal, I want to find the eldest sister." Hmph!"
Ning Xiguang patted the fried little guy comfortingly, and then asked the two, "I haven't seen you, you are new educated youths, right?"
