Chapter 145 Green Orange Lemon

Jiang Yue slowed down her movements of rubbing her clothes, and after careful consideration, she said, "Si Ningning."

"Huh?" Si Ningning turned her head blankly.

"The atmosphere in the educated youth community has been a bit strange recently." Jiang Yue bit her lip, struggled for a while and continued: "Can I believe you?"

"..." Si Ningning looked back at Jiang Yue blankly.

Can she just nod or shake her head to judge whether she believes it or not?

Jiang Yue seemed to realize this, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can you promise me first that you are really not a capitalist?"

"..."

Si Ningning was speechless. She couldn't figure out whether Jiang Yue really had something to tell her or whether he was deliberately entertaining her.

"My clothes are almost finished washing. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly or I'll leave."

Jiang Yue bumped into Si Ningning's cold face.

Being labeled as capitalist in this era is not a trivial matter. Whether it is true or false, no one will be happy if someone says this.

Jiang Yue knew this. She bit her lip and took a step closer to Si Ningning with her basin. Her expression was more or less complicated, "I'm not targeting you. It's my family..."

Spots of sunlight on the ground flickered, and birds chirped on the treetops. Jiang Yue talked a lot. Si Ningning was impatient at first, but then she calmed down and listened carefully to Jiang Yue's story.

Jiang Yue is probably also a person with stories.

She was born into a wealthy family, and her father and eldest brother had well-paying jobs at first.

Later, the capital collapsed and the capitalists ran away. Before running away, they took all the shit basins to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family became the scapegoats of the capitalists. The eldest father and brother were imprisoned and tortured. In just one week, they both died in prison.

The mother went back and forth and put Jiang Yue and Jiang Yue's younger brother into the team going to the countryside, and then lost contact with them.

In this way, it seems that everything makes sense from the beginning of the incident.

Why did Jiang Yue have such white skin and good complexion, and why did she target Si Ningning in the first place?

People were generally poor in this era, but Si Ningning had a thin skin and tender flesh, and the things he produced were all high-quality, making it easy for people to think of him as a capitalist.

Jiang Yue's family was persecuted by the capitalists. Of course she hated the capitalists. When she mistakenly thought that Si Ningning was a capitalist, she would make sarcastic remarks. This is not difficult to understand.

As for the reason why Jiang Yue opened up her heart to Si Ningning and told her past, Si Ningning believes that it must have something to do with what she said after experiencing Wu Yong's incident.

For people who have not experienced major events, their thoughts are ingrained with education and are difficult to sublimate. Jiang Yue has experienced some things, so she agrees with what Si Ningning said and supports him.

Si Ningning felt a little emotional in her heart, and she sympathized more with Jiang Yue.

However, during this period of getting along, Si Ningning knew that although Jiang Yue was sometimes irritable and sometimes naive, her heart was very strong and she did not need sympathy from others.

After a moment of silence, Si Ningning asked, "What about your brother? Where was he assigned? The last time you gave me food stamps in exchange for sweets, was it for your brother, right?"

Jiang Yue nodded and said: "He is in the northwest."

northwest?!

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment and was a little surprised when he realized what he was doing.

northwest……

In the 1960s and 1970s, one of the areas where the largest number of educated youths went to the countryside was WLMQ at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, right?

The living environment there is difficult, there are few forested areas, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, snowstorms occur every year, and the temperature only warms up after March on average.

The most important thing is the lack of water and widespread saline-alkali land.

Moreover, based on the documentaries he had watched before, Si Ningning vaguely remembered that educated youths and border soldiers there generally lived in "diwozi".

The so-called "diwozi" is a pattern of finding small raised hills on the plains, digging down from halfway down the hills, and digging out rooms under the ground. Educated youths and border soldiers lived in them.

Jiang Yue is only seventeen years old, and her younger brother cannot be more than sixteen years old.

If you have lived in a well-off family since you were born, and arrived in a poor area like the northwest, and are you still there now, there are really two things to say...

Si Ningning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to continue this topic.

So he turned around and asked: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You just said that the atmosphere in the educated youth spot is strange. Why is it so strange?"

Jiang Yue was silent for a moment to calm down her mood, and said, "It's about Xiaoyun... We are all outsiders. It's hard to say anything, but I'm really worried about her."

Si Ningning nodded slightly and signaled Jiang Yue to continue.

"My going to the countryside may be an escape, but generally educated young people participate in the policy of going to the mountains and countryside in order to receive re-education from farmers. Although our identity is not sensitive, it is also special and cannot withstand other messy events.

The test..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Si Ningning interrupted Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue was making all kinds of twists and turns, and Si Ningning was almost confused and couldn't grasp the main point she wanted to say.

Jiang Yue shook her lips and got to the point, "Educated youths have higher ideological consciousness than ordinary members. They should be more self-aware and not have random relationships between men and women!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yue's face froze, she swallowed her saliva and looked at Si Ningning nervously, and continued: "Xiaoyun seems to have fallen in love with Song Shuhan. I don't know how to tell her these things. I'm not good at it either.

Tell others... you are sharp-tongued and quick-thinking, can you help me persuade Xiaoyun?!"

After talking in a roundabout way, Si Ningning finally understood what Jiang Yue meant.

Song Xiaoyun was young and fell in love with an educated young man. However, there was no such thing as "free love" in this era.

Jiang Yue didn't want Song Xiaoyun to destroy her future, but she didn't know how to persuade her, so she approached her.

Jiang Yue hasn't talked to Song Xiaoyun much recently. It seems that the two of them are having trouble, but in fact, she still prefers Song Xiaoyun in her heart.

But……

Si Ningning's crescent eyebrows furrowed, and her upper teeth bit her lower lip unconsciously.

Song Xiaoyun fell in love with Song Shuhan?

Isn't it because Mo Bei is in love?

Seeing that Si Ningning didn't answer for a long time, Jiang Yue was a little anxious, "Si Ningning?"

"Ah? Oh!" Si Ningning came to his senses, wrung out his clothes twice and poured out the dirty water in the basin, then poured half of the water in the bucket into the basin to soak through the clothes, "This is about..."

"Jiang Yue, I know this matter is very serious." She considered it for a moment and continued: "But we have no reason or position to say it, or to accuse it."

Jiang Yue pursed her lips tightly, frowned and looked at Si Ningning in confusion and confusion.

Si Ningning sighed softly and lowered her head to see through the clothes in her hands. Her voice was so soft that it was almost suppressed by the sound of water and the chirping of birds. "In other words, we have spoken, is she willing to listen?"

"People are individuals and have independent thinking. Sometimes they may not even want to listen to what their parents and relatives say. Why do you think that she will listen to what I say, or even do it?"

Jiang Yue was completely stunned.

She had never thought about this before.

She just felt that Si Ningning usually had a set of principles, big and small, and helped the educated youth solve many problems.

What Si Ningning said has a certain degree of persuasion and will make people believe it.

However, Jiang Yue forgot the most important point.

Reason and persuasion, first and foremost, need to be listened to by the parties involved.

Otherwise, it would be in vain to say it, and you might even be hated by others.

After realizing this, Jiang Yue looked at Si Ningning awkwardly, "I'm not..."

Her purpose was definitely not to make Si Ningning fall into injustice.

"I know that you sincerely regard Song Xiaoyun as a friend. You were anxious so you didn't think it through so comprehensively." Si Ningning smiled lightly. After understanding Jiang Yue's past, she could almost understand Jiang Yue's psychology.

To be honest, he is not a bad person, and he is quite loyal.

Jiang Yue pursed her lips and nodded. Her flat facial features were even more ugly because of her wrinkled face, "Then what should I do now? What should I do?"

There is no good solution to this matter.

However, no matter whether Song Xiaoyun is interested in Mo Bei or Song Shuhan, they are all educated youths, and there is basically no possibility of being single when commuting to work.

As long as there are other people around, there shouldn't be any big problems with Song Xiaoyun.

Si Ningning thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see what happens."

After the words fell, voices came from the side of the educated youth point house. Soon, several male educated youths were seen walking around one after another, followed closely by Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun.

Si Ningning wrung out the water from her clean clothes, turned the basin towards the ditch and poured the water out. She got up and walked back first: "I've finished washing. Hurry up. You can still take a nap after dinner."

"Um……"

There was still no need to cook at noon, so Si Ningning boiled two pots of hot water and prepared to let it cool for drinking in the afternoon. Then he climbed into bed and took a leisurely nap at noon.

After taking a walk around the pig pen in the afternoon, Si Ningning went to deliver water to the educated youths. She was afraid of encountering snakes again, so she kept Huo Lang's words in mind. After returning from the fields, she went directly to the threshing floor.

The third team is surrounded by mountains and there is not much flat land, so there is only one threshing floor.

The entire threshing floor covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters. There is a two- to three-meter-high straw pile piled with straw bales at the center, and there are also many small straw piles and wheat straw piles piled on the edges.

A nearly regular circular threshing floor was silently divided into three areas. In one area, members of the commune were threshing wheat there.

There are still some weeds left in the remaining two areas, and they are not that smooth. Holang is weeding with a hoe.

He must have been here not long ago. The shoulders and back of his beige coat were soaked with sweat. Under the rolled-up sleeves, his arms were sunburnt and his muscles were bulging out with strength.

Si Ningning couldn't help but sigh at the disparity in body shape and strength between women and men.

After watching for a while, Si Ningning stepped forward and said, "Comrade Huo Lang, I'm here, what can I do?"

With a smooth Beijing accent and a clear and crisp voice, you will know who it is as soon as you hear it.

Huo Lang turned around and saw Si Ningning, his deep peach blossom eyes glanced up and down unconsciously.

The little girl changed her clothes.

The upper body is wearing a military green button-down jacket with half sleeves, and the lower body is wearing loose black pants that are very common in the countryside and the city. Compared with her previous clothes, the color of this outfit is really gray.

But I couldn't resist the fact that the little girl had fair skin and good looks. When she wore it like this, her face became even more dazzling.

Huo Lang opened and closed his thin lips, withdrew his gaze and continued to weed. At the same time, a hoarse and deep voice came into Si Ningning's ears: "There is a broom next to it, sweeping the grass and pebbles into a pile."

"Oh!" Si Ningning said "Oh" and turned his head. Sure enough, he saw the bamboo broom leaning on the straw pile at the edge of the threshing floor.

Brooms made from sorghum poles are more delicate and suitable for cleaning the house. Every corner can be cleaned if the broom handle is long enough.

Bamboo brooms are larger and look rougher, but they have advantages when cleaning large areas.

One, of course, is its vast area of ​​contact with the earth.

Secondly, this broom is made of bamboo side branches, which is harder and stronger than sorghum stalks, and has good toughness. It doesn't take much effort to sweep away some stones, small stones, etc.

Go aside.

However, the big broom also has a disadvantage, and that is that it is heavy-handed.

The speed of sweeping the floor was faster than weeding. After sweeping half a circle, I swept the ground that Huo Lang had just hoeed.

Si Ningning didn't want to make trouble behind Huo Lang, so she wiped the sweat from her forehead, held the big broom in one hand, took off her straw hat with the other hand, rolled up the brim and fanned twice, "Comrade Huo Lang, are you thirsty? I'm a little thirsty.

, I’ll go back and bring a pot of water?”

Huo Lang didn't say anything, he just raised his chin to let her go.

Si Ningning took advantage of the situation and leaned the broom against the haystack, put the kettle beside it and walked back.

There was actually some water in her military kettle, but she was done with the work for the time being. She felt hot and stupid standing there, so she simply found an excuse to run away for a while and come back later to continue working.

Si Ningning returned to the educated youth point, filled a pot of water into the lake, and then entered the space.

The oranges given by Zhou Xiaocui have all been consumed one after another, but the lemon trees planted before the time travel are now bearing fruit.

Before, I only bought a few types of fruits, and I bought five of each type. Now the others are in full bloom, but the only one with fruits is the lemon tree.

There are five lemon trees, and the varieties seem to be different. Some have green skin as big as your thumb, and the skin is very thin.

Some are also green-skinned, but the fruit is about the size of an egg and has thick skin.

Another kind is the yellow-skinned lemon.

Si Ningning each picked some, went back to the kitchen, cut them in half, and took out thin slices to taste. The two large yellow and green fruits were confirmed to be lemons. Not only were they sour that people salivated, but Si Ningning's teeth were also damaged.

I accidentally bit the lemon peel, which was a bit astringent, but more bitter.

It took her a long time to rinse her mouth before she gradually recovered.

As for the thin green-skinned fruit about the size of a thumb, Si Ningning had tasted it, and although it was very similar to the leaves of a lemon tree, it was not a lemon, but a green kumquat.

In milk tea shops in the 21st century, fruit tea shops are very common. Even if you have never tasted it, "kumquat lemon" should be familiar to you.

Si Ningning first washed two lemons, cut them in half, then opened the lid of the Elephant Trunk Pot, squeezed out most of the lemon juice into the pot, then threw the lemons in, added three spoons of sugar, and added

Add a lot of mint tips, cover it and put it in the refrigerator to chill.
