Chapter 369: Easy to attract attention

"But grandpa was sent down."

Qin Jiu's tone was tinged with tears, and his mind was full of the bad experiences he had in the past.

Yi Chichi sighed. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in this situation.

What's more, Qin Jiu has experienced it personally.

He watched the darkness approaching before his eyes, but he could not escape. He could not even struggle or resist. He could only passively accept the darkness with his grandfather.

In this scene, not to mention that he is just a child, if Yi Chichi was an aboriginal, her performance might not be as good as Qin Jiu's.

But she is not.

She came from the afterlife and knew that dawn would come after darkness.

But I can't say this to Qin Jiu. He is too young. Whether he can understand it or not is one thing. But if he slips up and says something he shouldn't, trouble will come.

So, she said in a gentle yet firm voice, "Xiaojiu, remember one thing: the sun will rise again after it sets."

Qin Jiu has a good reading comprehension, and he made a deep interpretation in his mind when he heard this.

However, he was young and his knowledge was limited, so he could not understand the profound meaning. But he heard that his aunt's words were full of hope.

So, can he look forward to the future?

"Auntie, can we still see the sun rise?"

"able!"

Yi Chichi gave an affirmative answer, "Your task now is to study hard, acquire knowledge, and then patiently wait for the day when the sun rises."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

He stumbled and looked very unconfident.

Yi Chichi encouraged him, "You can really look forward to this, but while looking forward to it, you must also shoulder your responsibilities as a student."

Qin Jiu's anxiety disappeared because of these words. At this time, he didn't know that his aunt's behavior of always asking him to study hard and supervising his homework very strictly was a typical behavior of "chicken child".

But that didn't stop him from nodding in agreement.

"Okay, auntie, I will study hard."

Yi Chichi was satisfied and asked him, "Do you want to skip a grade next year?"

"I don't know if the teacher will let me dance."

This means wanting to jump.

“Ask next year.”

There is no hope this year. The weather is getting colder after the autumn harvest, and the long winter will begin soon.

Besides, it is not appropriate to skip grades after school starts. You have to finish the third grade.

After calculating the time, Yi Chichi found that he would not be able to catch up with the first college entrance examination, but being able to be a college entrance examination candidate born in the 1980s was also good.

Let it be.

So, the topic ended there, and Kaoshantun arrived.

Just as I was riding my bicycle to the brigade headquarters, the branch secretary came towards me carrying a hoe. The handle of the hoe looked familiar. It was the one that the team leader had lost on the road.

"Uncle, you picked up this hoe on the road."

"Yeah, I don't know which bastard threw away all the hoes."

Fortunately he saw it and brought it back, otherwise it would have been sent away and the team would have been one less hoe.

He kept complaining, and Yi Chichi explained, "Uncle, don't be angry first, this is the hoe that the captain put there."

The branch secretary's mumbling stopped abruptly, and he asked in surprise, "Why did he throw the hoe?"

No wonder I couldn’t find anyone waiting for me in the field.

Yi Chichi told the story of what happened. When he learned that the captain and Yaozi went to rescue someone and sent him to the hospital, and that the person they rescued and sent was old man Zhang Xiuwen, the expression on his face turned into worry.

"Is the old man seriously injured?"

"My thigh is broken."

That's a bit serious.

"Your captain uncle and the others said they would be back today?"

"We should come back. There's nothing for them to do at the hospital, so there's no point in keeping them here."

That's right. Liu Xiangqian nodded and said, "You and Xiaojiu should go back. The autumn harvest will begin tomorrow."

"Starting tomorrow?"

Liu Xiangqian nodded and reminded her, "Remember to tell your mother to gather in the cafeteria tomorrow morning."

Yi Chichi raised an eyebrow, "Are we cooking together this year?"

Liu Xiangqian was also worried about this matter. "We didn't plan to do this at first, but Mrs. Hua said that the weather is bad this year and it would be best for us to store the grain within two weeks. We discussed it and decided to cook together and send it directly to the fields to eat."

Then he added, "It saves time."

Running back and forth is a waste of time. As for the elderly and children, each has their own tasks, so it is easier to cook together.

Yi Chichi felt that this was unreliable. "How are the food and vegetables distributed?"

Some people eat a lot, some eat a little, and some people have better family conditions, so their meals will be better.

Those with good food are subsidized for those with poor food, and those with small appetites are subsidized for those with large appetites. One or two meals may not be very good, and this will definitely be full of contradictions for half a month.

"Food and vegetables are all provided by the brigade. After paying the public grain, the money is directly deducted from the brigade's public account."

Yi Chichi, "???"

Are there public accounts in the team?

Her mind was full of question marks, but she didn't think of asking. Instead, she said, "Then uncle, I'll go first."

"Go ahead, and remember to inform your mother."

"Okay."

After arriving home, Yi Chichi immediately relayed the branch secretary's notice to Wen's mother.

Wen's mother's reaction was very calm. She said she understood and started to check what they had bought.

When she saw the meat, pig liver, large intestine, and ribs, she looked as if she was robbing a meat processing factory and asked in shock, "No one is buying meat from the commune today?"

Otherwise, why would I buy so much?

"No, when we went there, there were only some pig livers and a set of large intestines left. These were bought from the meat processing plant."

As soon as Wen's mother heard this, she knew that the person who left was Muda, so she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she carried the basket and walked towards the kitchen, asking her how she planned to eat the large intestine.

"Mom, let's stew it."

"No, it smells too bad."

Once the braising pot is opened, the fragrance can be smelled for ten miles, and every household in Kaoshantun can smell it.

We will start eating from the big pot tomorrow, and making braised food will attract attention.

Yi Chichi asked, "How do you eat the large intestine?"

"Stir-fry or braise, you choose one."

“That has a flavor too.”

"The smell is small. If you close the door and seal the windows tightly, it won't be a problem."

Qin Jiu raised his little hand and said, "Grandma, I want to eat braised food."

Yi Chichi quickly responded, "Mom, I can do anything."

Mother Wen glanced at the large intestine and said, "Then do both of them together."

Eat whichever you like.

Since there were so many people, a plate of large intestines was only enough for each of them to eat with two chopsticks.

Wen's mother was a diligent person. She quickly washed the large intestine clean, adding wood ash, salt, and coarse flour. She washed it thoroughly and blanched it in water.

We had it in the evening.

As usual, Yi Chichi gave one portion to the old man and the others first, and also prepared one for Uncle Yaozi.

I was lucky enough to go to the team doctor's office and just happened to see Uncle Yaozi coming back.

Lang Hong went back to the Youth League Home for dinner, and Uncle Yaozi was the only one in the team doctor's office.

She opened the lid, took out the stir-fried pork intestines and braised red intestines, and brought out a bowl of rice and set it on the table, calling out, "Uncle, it's time to eat."

"Here I come."

Uncle Yaozi, who was washing his hands at the door, wiped the water off his hands, came to the table and took a look, then jokingly said, "This food is so good, I'd feel bad if I didn't give some money."

Yi Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "Just give it to me. If you give it to me, I'll see if I can give it to you next time."
