Chapter 245 No Surprise

As soon as the door opened, the brother and sister slipped into the house like thieves, and Liu Lan was still muttering to close the door quickly.

Hearing his mother's hand quickly closing the door, Yi Chichi asked the brother and sister to sit down.

"Chichi, this is for you."

Liu Zhongwei, the second brother of the Liu family, took off the thing on his shoulders and threw it on the table with a bang.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a closer look and were surprised to see that it was pork.

It's not just one or two pounds of pork, but a small piece of pork with the hind leg attached.

Yi Chichi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"For you."

Liu Lan hugged her and asked with a smile, "Are you very surprised or surprised?"

It’s not a surprise, the accident is really a surprise.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances, and Yi Chichi said with a headache, "I'm asking why you and Brother Liu sent so much pork."

This small half of pork weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms, which would be worth thirty-four yuan.

This gift is so generous that it is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary worker.

"You helped sell the Spring Herald painting, but you refused to share the money with me. However, the embroidery pattern for the Spring Herald painting came from you, and you also taught me the technique..."

At this point, Liu Lan sighed, "I feel uneasy when you are so generous."

The implication is that there is no security in holding the money.

"The most important thing is that my sister is not good at drawing and embroidery patterns. If she wants to pursue this path in the future, she will cause you a lot of trouble."

Liu Zhongwei said sincerely, "So, after discussing it, our family thought that since you don't want money, we will send some meat to you and your aunt."

This reason is good and powerful.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both silent.

After a while, Yi Chichi said helplessly, "I..."

"Don't refuse."

Fearing that she might say no, Liu Lan quickly interrupted her and threatened, "If you don't accept it, I won't dare to bother you to help me make embroidery patterns in the future."

With just one sentence, all the words that Yi Chichi was about to say were blocked.

She looked at Wen's mother in a dilemma, "Mom, what do you think?"

"Take it."

Wen's mother responded calmly, saying that both the brother and sister had been slandered and that her words were sincere enough, and even revealed a bit of embarrassment for having to trouble her daughter-in-law to do the embroidery in the future.

It’s not good to refuse again, it’s easy to hurt feelings.

After hearing what their mother said, the tense emotions of Liu Lan and her sister relaxed.

He smiled and stood up to say goodbye.

Wen's mother warmly invited the guest to stay, "Please sit for a while."

"No, auntie. I need to get up early tomorrow to go to the public grain bureau."

Liu Zhongwei smiled and refused, and Liu Lan said, "Chi Chi, you and your aunt should go to bed early. I will come to play with you tomorrow."

"good!"

And so, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent the person away.

Then, the two of them stared at the pork on the table for a long time, and Yi Chichi said, "Mom, what should we do with this pork?"

"Do you want something fresh or different?"

“Fresh meat.”

The corner of Wen's mother's mouth twitched. "Leave half fresh, and choose bacon or cured meat for the rest?"

"bacon."

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll take care of the rest."

"I can't sleep either. I need to deliver meat to Wang Nan."

I helped make several pairs of shoes, all with thousand-layer soles, which was tiring and time-consuming.

Before, when there was no meat, I could only owe it first and then make up for it when there was meat. Now that there is meat, it is better to give it in advance.

It's just the right time to replenish their oil and water.

Wen's mother looked at the sky outside. It was so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her.

She frowned and said disapprovingly, "It's too dark, go during the day."

“There are too many people during the day.”

This is because they are afraid of gossip and want to keep it a secret.

Wen's mother had nothing to say. She looked through the pork, turned to the kitchen, got a knife, and deftly cut off a piece of pork belly.

"Wang Zhiqing and his men must be short of fat. They don't have any fatty meat, so they have to make do with pork belly."

So, Wang Nan, who was about to fall asleep on the kang, received the pork belly brought by Yi Chichi.

Xue Jiahuan had a separate room, while Wang Nan, Ge Sujuan and Zhou Qiuyu had one room.

Once the door is closed, the sound is lowered and you may not be able to hear it even if you put your ear to the door.

After entering the house, the four of them went straight to the table on the kang to talk in whispers.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Why are you sending meat at this time?"

“It’s not convenient during the day.”

She didn't say what was inconvenient, but we were all smart people and knew what she meant.

The source of this meat is a bit shady, most likely from the black market.

“It’s a bit much.”

Wang Nan picked it up and weighed it, then looked at her, "Did you bring all the meat from your home?!"

Yi Chichi looked at him as if he were an alien, "Am I the stupid one or you? Do you think I'm such a generous person?"

"You may not be mean to others, but you have never been mean to us!"

These words made Yi Chi Chi's mouth curl up uncontrollably, "You know I'm good to you, so be nice to me in the future."

"That's a must."

The three of them began to make promises with solemn vows, or you could say they were making big promises, even including things like she would take care of the baby when she gave birth and wash my diapers.

The pie in the painting is big and round.

However, Yi was reluctant to accept this and reminded Wang Nan, "Wen Shi is a heavy exerciser, which will wear out your shoes. Remember to make your shoes more solid."

"Don't worry. I can't say anything else, but I'm a top-notch shoemaker."

Worried that she might be worried, she poked Ge Sujuan and said, "I can also let Juanzi do it together."

"So can I."

Zhou Qiuyu quickly raised her hand to show her presence, but Wang Nan and Ge Sujuan told her not to do so. She felt aggrieved and said, "I have almost learned how to make shoes, so I can do it."

"Being able to do something doesn't mean you've mastered it. You still need to practice your shoemaking skills."

Yi Chichi didn't want to count on her, "I don't want to receive the shoes and wear them for two days, and then the shoes will fall apart because the thread is untied."

These words hit Zhou Qiuyu hard. She said weakly that she would help after she had learned enough, and Yi Chichi must not refuse then.

It was impossible to refuse.

After all, Yi had no intention of learning how to make shoes. Cloth shoes are a product of the times and can be mass-produced when the industry is developed in the future. However, the cost-effectiveness is too low, so there is no need to learn it.

"Study hard, I'm counting on you to make my cloth shoes in the future."

She patted Zhou Qiuyu's shoulder soothingly, as if to say, "I have high hopes for you."

The girl was easy to please. She smiled brightly when she heard this and said that she would study hard.

Then, after the four of them got together and chatted for a while, Yi Chichi returned home.

She and Wen's mother, who had already prepared the meat and was waiting for her to come back, went back to their rooms to rest and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning after breakfast, Yi Chichi went to the team doctor's office, while Wen's mother took the money and tickets she had given and followed the grain payment team to the commune.

There were two large packages sent back by Wen Shi, three letters, a sewing machine, soy sauce, vinegar, salt... toilet paper and other daily necessities.

There are also White Rabbit and pastries.

There were also stationery picture books, which she prepared for Qin Jiu according to the list she made.

The emergence of the sewing machine caused a small-scale riot. The reason why there was no major riot was that when Liu Lan got married, her husband prepared a three-turn and one-ring sewing machine for her.

The team leader and the village secretary also have sewing machines. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. Since three families in the village have one, the sewing machine that Wen's mother brought back does not seem so precious.
