Mingke lifted her chin triumphantly, and was very helpful to Amy's compliment.

"Of course, if you don't understand anything, just ask me, you're so stupid, you may not be able to figure it out for months."

Amy glared at him angrily, "Why are you so unbridled." Okay, okay, don't be poor with you, give you a good thing. ”

She pulled out two yellow oranges from her purse.

Mingke jerked to his feet and pulled her into the cowshed, looking around cautiously.

"What's wrong?"

Mingke breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one, turned his head to look at her and said, "You are too bold, you are not afraid of being seen by the villagers?" They used to say that you were opportunistic, and if you were about to see it, you wouldn't be able to tell how many mouths you have. ”

These days, fruits are a rarity, not to mention that they are still in the north.

Many big people can eat a little bit from time to time at home, if you really let the people in Mao'er Village see that Amy actually has oranges, and she takes two out at once, then you can't fry the pot?

Amy blinked, "This is the last time I went to the county seat, because I ran fast, I grabbed a few more bags of brown sugar in the supply and marketing cooperative, and then an aunt saw it and asked me to change it, saying that her daughter-in-law had just given birth to a child and the confinement was not enough, so I gave it, and then she gave me this." ”

It was a rhetoric she had come up with before she came.

Mingke lives in a cowshed and eats little, not to mention expensive vegetables and fruits.

But Amy knew that if she didn't go on like this, it would make him worse.

So thinking about the land that had been secretly reclaimed, she softened her heart and took out the oranges with the best explanation.

Mingke's eyes flashed, "It's definitely not an ordinary person who can take out oranges at this time, you didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, right?" ”

Amy smiled down and put the orange in his hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Mingke smelled the aroma of oranges, and his ears were slightly red.

Amy gave him all of the things that were so hard to get.

"This thing is not easy to find, since that aunt gave it to you, you can take it and eat it, but don't let others see it, otherwise you will get into trouble when the time comes."

Mingke shoved the orange back into Amy's hand, and her tone was a little softer than usual.

Amy's supermarket had so much fruit that she didn't pay attention to it and stuffed the oranges back.

"If you let you eat, you will eat, this is a thank you gift, if it weren't for you and me, I would definitely not be able to play, and maybe I would be criticized in public or something, and I wouldn't be able to get food if I didn't get work."

Although this is not easy to eat, it can't be eaten as a meal, so you are doing me a great favor, and I should eat two oranges. ”

Mingke didn't care about stuffing the oranges back when he heard this, but avoided his gaze and said, "Who helped you open the land, I can't finish so many things every day, where is the time to help you, you must be mistaken." ”

Amy looked at his weak heart, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but she deliberately joked in her mouth: "It's really not you, then you give me back the oranges, I will take them to thank Zhou Yize, he must have helped me." ”

"Don't!"

Mingke hurriedly protected the orange, afraid that she would take this thing to Zhou Yize again.

He didn't know why, although everyone said that Zhou Yize was a good person, and his attitude towards him was not bad, but he just didn't like it.

"What's the matter, didn't you say you didn't help me, so why did you take my oranges? Give it back to me. ”

Usually Amy is sarcastically ridiculed by Mingke, although it is all a joke, but sometimes she still feels very angry.

So, this time there was a rare opportunity, of course, she could tease him hard.

"I ...... You've already given it to me, how can you go back? Now this is my thing. ”

Mingke's ears are getting hotter and hotter, and he is holding two oranges tightly with both hands, looking a little cute.

You know, he always has a stinky face on weekdays, and when he is in a good mood, he has a paralyzed face, and it is the first time Amy has seen him like this.

Inexplicably, it reminded her of a hamster.

"Poof—"

She clutched her stomach and smiled.

Mingke looked at her dissatisfied, but the next moment, he peeled the orange with his hands.

He was afraid that Amy would really take the oranges away to Zhou Yize.

But it's not all because he doesn't like Zhou Yize, and another thing is that he is afraid that it will be bad for Amy to be seen by others at that time, so he simply eats it.

Mingke put more than half of the peeled orange into Amy's hand.

Amy smiled: "Didn't you say that it was already given to you so you can't take it, why are you giving it to me again now?" ”

Mingke looked into the distance uncomfortably, and said coldly: "If you want to eat, you will eat." ”

Amy pursed her lips and chuckled, put a petal in her mouth, and instantly smiled at the sweet fragrance.

"You can try it too, this is delicious."

"I know, look at your appearance that you haven't seen the world, you are really a country girl."

That being said, Mingke also ate a petal, and it was really sweet.

He was in a trance, because he couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten such delicious oranges.

Like, since my mother was taken away, I haven't had it again.

Every time he thinks of his deceased mother, Mingke reveals an unconcealed sadness.

Amy was so close to him that she felt it right away.

She looked at Mingke and didn't ask him what he remembered, but reached out and made a bold move.

Amy took a petal of orange in her hand and shoved it directly into his mouth.

"If you don't eat again, I'll eat it up later."

Amy didn't understand why she did that suddenly, she had never been so close to any boy before.

However, the thing has been done, and she is no longer entangled.

I just think it's probably because in this Mao'er village, Mingke is the only person who can talk to her a lot.

Those words can only be said to him, so the two of them can be regarded as good friends.

Amy was chewing on the sweet orange, thinking wildly in her head, and she didn't notice Mingke's flushed face.

Neither of them spoke, so they hid in the cowshed and ate the two oranges together.

After eating, Mingke dug another pit and buried the orange peel, leaving no trace.

And this time, because the rare time was relatively early, Amy didn't rush to leave, but hid here with him to read a book for a while, and then went back to help Mrs. Wang cook when the time was almost up.

Because all this food was brought back by Amy, and because now Mrs. Wang really believes in her, she began to ask her to go to the jar to get food and cook it.

Amy rolled her eyes and secretly mixed a little rice in it.

Because there is still a lot of food in the tank, you can't see it when you mix it inside, and you won't be found after cooking.

Not only that, but she also boiled a few quail eggs.

"Xiaomi, why are there still eggs here?"

Mrs. Wang went to Aunt Li to get the finished clothes, but when she came back, she saw dry rice on the table, and there were a few eggs.

"I was lucky today, when I went to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, I saw a bird's nest, and these are the eggs inside."

In this era of hunger from time to time, you really have to gnaw on the bark of trees that you don't have to eat, let alone bird nests.

"You are really blessed, the girl named Liu Jianfang heard that she was also looking for a bird's nest, but she didn't find it for several days, and when she went back, she was scolded and cried by the old Wang's family."

Mrs. Wang was actually a little distressed when she saw the rice cooked like this, but when she thought that Amy had made these grains, and saw that she and her granddaughter were eating happily, she didn't say it explicitly.

It's just that after getting off work in the afternoon, she went to find Zhu Laosan again, wanting to borrow more food.

At this time, the people in the village even more believed that Amy could not complete the task of clearing the wasteland, so when the time came, she would not be able to share new food and continue to live in Mrs. Wang's house, and one or two talked to Mrs. Wang from time to time.

"It's enough for you to take her in for so long, but you can't keep it."

"She has used all her food stamps, she must be gone, how can you really raise such a big person again?"

"I see that she just didn't have a good heart, and deliberately got a few catties of food back to make you think she was a good person, but you don't want to think about it, if you really keep her all the time, then you have to eat dozens of catties of food."

A pound of food is not much, not to mention that there are three people in Mrs. Wang's family now, so their statement is not an exaggeration.

Of course, these princesses have thought about it, but she can't do anything to drive Amy away.

When the people in the village saw that she didn't listen, they secretly pulled Niuniu and said.

"Go back and tell your grandmother that when she gets the food, don't leave Amy at home, or you'll be hungry."

"But Sister Xiaomi is very good to me, grandma said, you must have a conscience to be a man, Sister Xiaomi is good to me, I should be good to Sister Xiaomi."

Niuniu was helping Mrs. Wang with a small hoe while talking to the other aunts.

"Alas, you stupid boy, what's the use of being nice to you, it's all deliberately done for you and your grandmother, just to eat and drink for nothing at your house."

"Think about it, she won't have any work after she finishes clearing the wasteland now, and she won't be able to share any food at all, and it's too early to distribute food next time, have you been raising her?"

Niuniu has learned a lot from Amy recently, and her brain is much brighter, so this aunt is not afraid that she won't understand.

But Niuniu blinked her eyes and still said: "Sister Xiaomi doesn't eat and drink for nothing, why do you want to speak ill of your sister, don't you like your sister?" ”

Her voice is not small, and everyone around her can hear it.

The girl's face turned red, after all, no one was happy to say bad things about themselves and be heard by others, how bad it was.

But Mrs. Wang had already heard it, and sighed heavily when she looked at the little work she and her granddaughter were doing.

It's about to be the time that the village chief said, and Amy will definitely not be able to finish it, and when the time comes......

She wanted to help, but the situation at home was not good, and she didn't know how long she could help, so she couldn't just eat wild vegetables as a family.

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "Forget it, let's see when the time comes, there is nothing that can't be eaten in one bite on the left and right." ”
