Monet & Philoia, "..."
Should they tell Ningning that dreams are beautiful, but reality is often harsh?
They exchanged a glance and decided to let it go.
Having dreams is a wonderful thing, so let Ningning enjoy her dreams for now.
Once we find the cotton, it would be good to let her experience the harsh reality.
They had no hope, but perhaps Louis and his group could be relied upon. Until the day it happens, everything is uncertain.
Thinking of this, the two nodded in agreement.
Satisfied, Sang Ning went to wash up.
Monet and Fimnoya were also there. The three women, each with a bamboo tube in hand, squatted in a row by the grove, brushing their teeth and washing up. They looked extremely harmonious.
The premise is that you don't care about looks.
They didn't find any oral hygiene products in their survival kit, so they're still using charcoal and wood ash.
Brushing my teeth is a disaster every time. Not to mention the discomfort in my mouth, the taste of wood ash and charcoal is really unpleasant.
It can also easily leave a black ring around the mouth.
But she had to endure the discomfort. Sang Ning was now hoping that the house would be built soon and the saltworks would be completed quickly, otherwise she wouldn't have time to find materials to make cleaning supplies.
A new day begins with a simple yet satisfying breakfast.
Sang Ning had a new breakfast today: ramen.
No broth needed, the noodles cooked with shrimp oil and water taste just as good. Add some mushrooms and goji leaves, and the dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, leaving everyone completely satisfied.
"After yesterday's experience, this bowl of noodles makes me feel like I'm in heaven!"
Mu Tao let out a burp as he spoke. He had finished all the soup. There was a lot of noodles and a lot of soup, but he still managed to finish it all. Now he was a little full.
Louis and his family were the same.
Everyone present, except for Sang Ning, was completely stuffed.
Watching them hiccup one after another, Sang Ning shooed them up and made them move around like an eagle herding chicks.
"If you're full, don't sit down. Stand up and walk around to help with digestion."
"No, I can't bear to digest it. I'd rather have a full stomach than experience the feeling of an empty stomach."
Luo Tianya stubbornly sat on the stone bench, refusing to move an inch, as did Louis and the others.
Sang Ning ignored them and said indifferently, "Is the noodle soup good?"
"tasty."
in unison.
"Congratulations, you won't be able to eat here tomorrow."
"ah?"
The group was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Why won't we get to eat tomorrow?"
"Because we ran out of flour."
Sang Ning smiled, "There were a few pounds left, but you guys used up almost two pounds of flour yesterday. Today, we kneaded all the remaining flour into dough and made noodles for you to eat. Now the wooden bucket that used to store flour is completely empty."
"I'm going to harvest wheat and come back!"
With his own stomach at stake, Emmanuel stopped lounging around. He stood up and left decisively, saying, "I'll bring back a lot more. You can go about your business. Don't wait for me to eat."
"I'm not cooking today."
Sang Ning said calmly, "Oli, Nana, Luo Ya, the three of you come with me to dry salt."
The three agreed.
Luo Tianya refused, saying, "Oli stays, I'll go with you."
Elliott: "...Why am I the one who stayed?"
“You’re strong, so it’s easier for you to move the stones. We can’t leave Nana and Loya behind.”
Luo Tianya's argument was logical and well-founded, but Elliott found it rather ridiculous. He retorted, "What I mean is, why don't you stay?"
I find Louis repulsive.
Louis looked up at him upon hearing the sound, and Luo Tianya met his gaze defiantly. Sang Ning felt a thunderbolt strike her, and just as she was about to say something, Louis said, "What a coincidence, I think you're quite annoying too."
Luo Tianya hummed in agreement, then turned to Elliott and said, "You see? The two of us together will fight."
Elliott really wanted to say, "What does your fighting have to do with me?" but then he thought better of it.
He's still just a little kid, so it's not a bad idea to take care of him.
Let's do a good deed that day.
"Okay, you can go with Ningning and the others."
So Elliott switched places with Luo Tianya; the former stayed to build houses, while the latter went with the three women, Sang Ning and the others, to dry salt.
Before setting off, Louis ran into the shed and rummaged around, pulling out a hoe and a small wooden plow and handing them over.
"Here you go, I made it overnight. It should work. If it doesn't, you'll have to figure it out yourselves. I'm out of ideas."
His tone was calm, but Sang Ning was shocked. She reached out and took the plow and hoe he handed her. She first tested their sharpness, then their sturdiness, and then felt completely overwhelmed.
"You...you made this in one night? When did you do it? Why didn't we know?"
"To be precise, the three of you women don't know, but we all do."
Mu Tao chimed in, "We all helped out. Louis got up and worked the night shift after you all fell asleep."
"Louis, you can do it."
Sang Ning gave him a thumbs up, praised him highly, and then promised, "When we finish drying the salt, I'll make you a series of salt-baked dishes."
Louis's eyes lit up instantly, and he held out his hand to Sang Ning. "So, it's settled then?"
"It's settled."
Sang Ning reached out and shook hands with him, then picked up his basket and beckoned Mo Nai Nai and the others to leave.
With Luo Tianya around, Sang Ning and the others didn't need to worry about the hoe and plow; he simply picked them up one in each hand and left.
The four of them left chatting and laughing. The viewers in Louis's live stream felt a strange sense of amusement as they watched them gradually disappear into the distance.
It gives off the feeling of a mother taking her three little ones out for a family trip.
【(⊙o⊙)…Who is the mother? Ningning?】
[It has to be her. Sang Ning seems the most mature and reliable. Mo Nainai and the others won't do; they look like immature little girls, playful, greedy, and not mature at all.]
The problem is that Sanning is the youngest in the group of nine. Emmanuel is almost 160cm tall this year, Elliott is 140cm, Louis... then Nana is 65cm, and Sanning is the youngest, she is only 24 at most.
Making the youngest child, Sang Ning, the mother is going too far. The older sister is more suitable.
I still think it's the mother figure.
[Nonsense, the older sister is a better fit.]
Then, the viewers in Louis's live stream started arguing about whether Sang Ning's role was that of a mother or an older sister.
The competition was fierce.
Sang Ning's audience was thoroughly enjoying the show and immediately sent him special effects comments.
Sang Ning was speechless. These people were just too idle. She didn't want to have the attributes of a mother, nor did she want to have the attributes of a sister.
But she also knew that there was no point in arguing with Louis and his audience.
So her response was to act as if the incident didn't exist and chat with her audience as they walked.
