Chapter 228 Keep your hands to yourself

"Ready-made?"

"That's not possible. We need someone to send it from Hangzhou."

Yi Chichi thought for a moment and asked, "When do you want these three sets of clothes?"

"Next winter."

There is plenty of time and it is definitely in time.

"Send it."

"good."

Ten minutes later, the two people had reached an agreement on the time to hand in the refined draft and fabric, and Yu Rutang took Chi Jiaojiao to say goodbye.

"Then let's go to my aunt's house first, see you the day after tomorrow."

"Hello, if you don't see me in the team doctor's office the day after tomorrow, go to my house and look for me."

Yu Rutang said "oh" and turned to ask the nagging girl, "What if there is none at home?"

"In the field."

She was not at the team doctor's office or home, so she must have gone to the fields to treat heatstroke.

The autumn heatwave is quite strong. Last year, many people suffered from heat stroke, but none of them were serious.

But if this thing gets serious, it can be fatal.

Therefore, be careful.

Hearing this, Chi Jiaojiao gave her a thumbs up and said, "Comrade Yi, you are really capable."

“Being forced to be competent.”

Yi Chichi smiled bitterly. Who could have thought that she didn't work in the medical industry in her original world, but became a health worker in the 1970s.

If grandpa knew about this, he would probably get up excitedly in the middle of the night to burn incense to all the ancestors, and then sigh that she had made it.

“That’s capable.”

Yu Rutang said something fair, and then asked her with a look of spectator-like expression, "Is there anything you don't know how to do?"

"There are so many things I can't do."

She doesn't know much.

Knowing what Yu Rutang wanted to say, she chuckled and said, "I must solemnly emphasize that embroidery is my main job, and everything else is a side job."

"I can only do it, but I haven't mastered it yet."

There is a big difference between knowing and being proficient.

Just like the children of later generations, they all start learning this and that from kindergarten, but eventually they are overwhelmed by the sea of ​​questions and the pressure of entering higher education.

But it's unrealistic to say they won't.

Take painting for example. Even if you can’t become a professional painting master, everyone can draw a stick figure.

If a stick figure can be drawn, can you say that humans can’t draw? Humans can obviously draw.

Yu Rutang and the others didn't care about the difference between knowing how to do something and being proficient in it. From what they saw, Yi Chichi was definitely more than just being able to do it when it came to painting, embroidering and making clothes.

Professionals with deep experience.

They won’t anyway.

"I really want to introduce you to be my grandparents' student. You two will definitely have something in common."

"We'll talk about it when we have a chance."

Yi Chichi was perfunctory, but deep down he actually had no interest.

She has worked hard on painting, and although she hasn't made much progress over the years, she hasn't regressed either.

In the words of her second aunt, this was her only achievement in painting.

I can't become a master, let alone a grandmaster, but at least I'm good enough.

After all, her main job is embroidery, not painting.

"Then let's go."

Seeing that she was not interested in meeting her grandparents, Chi Jiaojiao stopped dwelling on it, waved to her generously, and left with Yu Rutang.

Yi Chichi watched the two people leave and returned to the room. He did not rush to clean up the painting tools on the table. Instead, he sat on a small stool to fill the remaining ointment, sealed it, and then got up to clean the room.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoqin appeared at the door with heavy steps and sweat on her face.

"Thirst, water..."

She held the door frame with one hand and stretched out her hand towards Yi Chichi, her voice so weak that she seemed like she was about to die.

Yi Chichi was startled and quickly poured a glass of water to her mouth.

Zhang Xiaoqin was really thirsty and really tired. After she gulped down half a cup of water with her hands, she let out a long sigh as if she was finally alive, and then sat down on the ground.

“I’m so tired!”

She wiped the sweat from her face and began to breathe heavily.

Yi Chichi squatted beside her and saw that there were still a few cockleburs on her hair. He reached out and pulled them off for her. "Didn't you go to the fields to work with Uncle Yaozi? Why are there still cockleburs on your hair?"

"Don't mention it. I worked for less than two hours before Aunt Ma thought I was wasting my time and sent me with Wang Nan and the others to cut camphor trees."

Glancing at the cockleburs that Yi Chichi had taken off her head, she scratched her scalp, "There are a lot of cockleburs over there, and I fell down again, so I guess they got stuck to me then."

At this point, she wondered, "Chi Chi, let me ask you a question."

"What?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What is the small-leaf camphor used for?"

"Thatched house."

"Can grass be used to cover a house?"

“Yes.”

Knowing that this girl was from the city and that she had grown up in either independent courtyard houses with brick and tile structures or tube-shaped buildings, Yi Chichi, who had little knowledge of rural areas, explained to her in detail the unique braiding style of the Northeast region.

Zhang Xiaoqin was stunned after hearing this and had a lot of questions.

When she finished, Zhang Xiaoqin said with emotion, "The wisdom of the working people really cannot be underestimated."

“It really can’t be underestimated.”

Yi Chichi nodded in agreement and asked her, "Why did you come back first?"

"Cook."

Zhang Xiaoqin, who brought up this topic, made a bitter face and grabbed her hand and begged, "Chi Chi, can you help me light the stove? I don't know how to light that thing."

Godmother went to work at the hospital today, and godfather and Qiao Jun won’t be back for a while, so her task is to cook dinner for the family of three.

However, the stove was too much for her.

Since she came to Kaoshantun, she has never been able to light a fire in the stove by herself. It's really despairing to talk about it.

"good."

Yi Chichi, who had seen her light a fire that made the whole house filled with thick smoke that almost choked people to death, agreed to her request, "Go and prepare the dishes first. When you're almost done, call me and I'll help you light the fire."

"Thank you so much."

She hugged Yi Chi Chi excitedly and jumped up like a rabbit, "I'm going to cook the food, you have to wait for me and don't rush back."

"Won't."

She also has to collect medicinal herbs. All the herbs drying outside need to be brought in. After autumn, there is fog and dew due to the temperature difference between day and night. Medicinal herbs cannot be left outside as they will get wet by the dew or fog and affect their quality.

Regardless of whether you use it yourself or send it to a purchasing station, the medicinal properties will be weakened.

This concerns the interests of the entire Kaoshan Village, and she cannot be careless.

"Then you are busy, and I will be busy too."

Before she finished her words, she ran to the backyard to prepare the food.

Yi Chichi started to collect medicinal herbs. Zhang Xiaoqin was not good at working in the fields, but was very capable in the kitchen.

Not long after she had collected the herbs, Zhang Xiaoqin called her to make a fire.

Yi Chichi quickly ran to the kitchen to help her light the fire, but when she turned around, she found Zhang Xiaoqin standing behind her and looking into the stove.

"What are you looking at?"

"Why do you catch fire so quickly and the fire won't go out?"

Yi Chichi was silent for two seconds, and couldn't help complaining, "Actually, if you keep your hands under control, it won't burn so much smoke."

Zhang Xiaoqin smiled awkwardly, "I can control my hands so that I won't be beaten by my godmother."

Sitting at the stove, she couldn't control her hands and added firewood into it, then blocked the stove hole and put out the fire.
