Or was she testing him?
Rong Zhaonan's eyes flashed slightly and he simply changed the subject: "Didn't you ask me to repair the roof?"
Ning Yuan then remembered that Rong Zhaonan was on the beam to repair the roof.
She looked up at the roof, and sure enough she could no longer see the light leak.
Although it was not repaired with tiles in a serious manner, the leaking area had been sealed with a cover made of thick straw and wooden strips.
She looked puzzled: "You know how to repair the roof? Then why didn't you repair it before?"
He had been sent to the countryside for several years, and the hut next to the cowshed was leaky and tormenting.
Rong Zhaonan said calmly: "Because I'm lazy."
Ning Yuan was drinking water: "Cough cough cough..."
As expected of a boss, his answer was straightforward and touching.
She couldn't help but wipe her mouth: "Then why did you do it when I asked you to repair the roof?"
Rong Zhaonan looked her up and down: "If I don't agree, you will climb up and repair the roof by yourself, so I will do this."
Ning Yuan laughed: "Since you are lazy, just let me fix it!"
This guy is pretty cool.
Rong Zhaonan pressed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly: "Your limbs are not well developed. There is a high probability that you will fall from the beam and get injured. I will be the one to take care of you. I hate trouble."
Ning Yuan choked: "..."
It turns out that Mr. Rong is too lazy to take care of himself if he falls and gets injured.
She took back her words that she thought he was a warm man! !
"Don't worry, I don't want you to take care of me, I don't owe you anything." Ning Yuanpi said with a smile, and threw a shoe box in front of him.
Rong Zhaonan paused and looked down at the shoe box. Inside was a new pair of men's yellow cloth and rubber shoes.
He picked it up and saw it was his yardage.
Something strange flashed in the man's narrow eyes: "For me?"
"Yeah, aren't you repairing the roof? This is the wages, it's two yuan a pair." Ning Yuan shook her braids and turned around to prepare the afternoon meal.
No wonder Rong Zhaonan was treated so badly later. His mouth could offend everyone, right?
As a result, after being decentralized for many years, the only way he had learned to be a low-key person was to keep silent and stand in the corner pretending to be a winter melon.
"Winter Melon" still makes people feel heartbroken as soon as it opens its mouth.
After watching Ning Yuan's slim figure go out with a bucket, vegetable basket and other tools, Rong Zhaonan lowered his eyes and looked at the rubber shoes in his hand.
He didn't hesitate to sit down and put on his shoes.
Rong Zhaonan's handsome face behind the lenses showed a strange and complicated expression.
His own yellow cloth rubber shoes had been patched several times over the years and were almost in disgrace.
He once applied to go to the brigade supply and marketing cooperative to buy shoes.
But when I came to check the red armband that he handed over for his ideological report, he didn't agree with it and sneered at him, criticizing him for not having the spirit of hard work and simplicity.
From that time on, he never made any reports to the supply and marketing cooperative, preferring to knit straw sandals himself in the future.
Ning Yuan, the little spy, actually noticed that his shoes were almost out of wear...
Rong Zhaonan curled up the corners of his lips silently, if this was one of her ways to get closer to him.
Well, he must admit that it does have some effect.
You still have to be wary of sugar-coated bullets from enemy agents...
…
Ning Yuan went to the stream again, but this time she cut down the bamboo while fishing.
She cut bamboo strips and silk and began to weave shrimp pots.
If the bamboo strips are too thick, it will be very troublesome to make shrimp pots. When bending the bamboo strips, it is easy to scratch your hands. If the bamboo strips are too thin, they will break easily.
She worked on it for a while, except that the first shrimp pot was a little slow, but the next few simple shrimp pots were ready in just a few clicks.
Ning Yuan tied the earthworms she caught with bamboo silk and stuffed them into several shrimp pots as bait, and then put the five shrimp pots into the creek.
In fact, this cage can not only catch shrimps, but also a lot of fish.
The cage has a big belly, a thin neck, and a funnel-shaped entrance made of bamboo strips.
On the inside of the funnel, there are some umbrella-shaped bamboo thorns with sharp ends that are inclined inward.
The fish and shrimp greedily entered the cage, and when they came out, they would be pricked by the bamboo thorns at the exit of the shrimp cage.
When it was time to finish work after dark, there were two eels in her shrimp pot. Plus she caught three bass, she would have enough to eat tonight.
Ning Yuan simply killed the fish by the river, put the cleaned fish into the fish basket, and then put the shrimp pot back into the stream.
She happily avoided people while carrying the fish basket and returned to the cowshed in the dark.
Rong Zhaonan had just placed all the cows, and came out of the cowshed with a straw bucket on his head.
Ning Yuan glanced at the worn yellow rubber shoes on his feet and muttered unhappily: "What, the shoe size is wrong, or do you still dislike the shoes I bought?"
Rong Zhaonan patted the grass on his head: "There is no need to put on your shoes and enter the cowshed."
Ning Yuan was stunned, it turned out that he was reluctant to wear it.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sad. He should be a man like the pride of heaven, but he was so worn down that he couldn't bear to part with a pair of rubber shoes.
She sighed: "You are going to wear the shoes after you buy them. Otherwise, do you have to wait for them to wear out and continue to wear them?"
Later, society became a lot wealthier, but many old people were used to being frugal.
I was reluctant to eat the good meat and vegetables brought by my children and grandchildren. I kept them in the refrigerator until they went bad. I threw them away but took them out to eat again. As a result, I got sick and spent more money in the hospital.
Rong Zhaonan looked into Ning Yuan's big eyes and coughed lightly: "I know, I'm going to change my shoes."
With that said, he put down the hay bucket and followed her into the room.
Ning Yuan rolled her eyes at him rudely: "What do you want to change now? You stink so much now. Take a shower and eat before changing."
With that said, she turned around and entered the house.
Rong Zhaonan's face looked a little ugly. He lowered his head and smelled himself subconsciously, then went to take a shower with a dark face.
The smell is too strong!
Ning Yuan took an old aluminum pot on the back stove and started making porridge.
She originally wanted to make stir-fried eel slices, but she forgot to get chili peppers today, so she just made porridge with eel!
The sliced eel is marinated with sliced ginger and the pepper she bought specially today. When the porridge is boiling, she puts the shredded eel into the pot and releases the rich aroma.
Ning Yuan continued to hold up the branches, threaded the three seabass and roasted them on the small stove. The fish meat was rolled in the heat of the wood fire.
The fish oil exudes a caramel aroma, and is brushed with soy sauce, salt, ginger, green onions, and wild perilla. The flavor of spices penetrates into the fish.
The fish oil dripped onto the firewood, and the ginger, onion and wild perilla spices in the fish's belly filled the air again.
Rong Zhaonan took a shower and came out with wet hair. Smelling the fragrance, he sniffed slightly involuntarily.
"Fortunately, the bullpen is at the foot of the mountain, far away from where most people live. Otherwise, if you were poaching the public every day, the next day you would be dragged to public criticism, cut off the tail of capitalism, and conduct ideological self-examination."
Ning Yuan flipped the fish in her hand and rolled her eyes at him: "Haha, you're afraid of cutting off the tail of capitalism, so you don't have to eat it."
As a result, when I looked up, I saw his beautiful upper body with clear texture.
She immediately blushed: "You don't have any clothes on, go get some clothes on!"
Seeing her blushing and uncomfortable look, Rong Zhaonan sighed softly and turned back to the house: "Oh, but I'm wearing pants."
He has been here alone for several years. It is too hot and he is really not used to putting on his clothes after taking a shower.
The little spy is shy when he sees a man's body. How can he carry out his mission?
Ning Yuan couldn't help but pat her face, and quickly got up and went to the back stove to watch the eel porridge.
She is an 'old lady' who has lived for decades, but she still acts like a little girl. She blushes when she sees a young man with his upper body bare.
As soon as Ning Yuan turned into the back stove, she suddenly noticed a dark figure picking up her pot of eel porridge and running away towards the path behind!
"Stop! Put down my pot, someone is stealing something!" Ning Yuan was startled, became anxious, and immediately chased after her.
That was her and Rong Zhaonan's dinner!
It was dark, and when the black figure saw her chasing after her, he suddenly stopped and hit her head with something.
