Chapter 370 Expelled from the Team

Uncle Yaozi was choked by her words and said helplessly, "You are really unforgiving."

"I've always been like this."

Yi Chichi smiled and didn't want to continue with this topic, so he turned around and asked about the old man's condition.

"Your Aunt Mu and the others went for surgery. Your captain uncle and I went to inform his family and then came back."

Having said that, he looked up at Yi Chichi and said, "Be mentally prepared."

"What kind of mental preparation?"

The nonsensical words confused her, and her face was full of bewilderment.

Could it be that she got into trouble while saving people?

As soon as Yaozi saw her expression, he knew she was thinking the wrong thing, and said unhappily, "What are you thinking? I mean you should wait for the old man's son to come and thank you."

You really have to be prepared.

But, "What about you?"

"I'll come to thank you too."

Uncle Yaozi said meaningfully, "The old man's son is a very particular person. If he comes to thank you and gives you money, don't refuse it. Just accept it."

Yi Chichi understood immediately that this was because he was afraid that she would take advantage of this favor to get close to him.

Once you take the money, you're even and you'll be treated as strangers when you meet again.

Fortunately, she had no intention of clinging to me, so this was a good solution.

"Okay, I'll take it if you pay me."

Yaozi, who knew her personality, was not surprised by her answer at all. He was pleased and praised her for being a sensible person.

"Let's eat together and have a drink."

"No."

Yi Chi Chi decisively refused, "I have to go back to accompany my mother and Xiao Jiu. Da Ju and Da Li are also here. Uncle, enjoy your meal slowly. Remember not to drink too much, otherwise I will complain when Aunt Mu comes back."

"Go, go quickly."

This annoying girl is so mean. She complains about everything all the time without even considering that it's easy for him to drink a little.

You are still greedy for wine, what kind of wine are you greedy for?

Comrade Lao Mu's eyes were as sharp as a ruler. If he dared to drink too much and Lao Mu came back with less wine, he would make him kneel on the washboard.

For the sake of his knees, he couldn't drink too much.

"Uncle, take your time eating."

After waving at him, Yi Chichi left empty-handed, leaving the lunch box behind and planning to come back tomorrow to get a bowl to fill it with.

When they got home, Wen's mother and Qin Jiu hadn't started eating yet. Yi Chichi washed his hands and sat down, and the family of three plus two cats began their happy dinner.

While eating, Yi Chichi asked, "Mom, do I have to go to work tomorrow?"

"What did your uncle, the Party Secretary, say?"

Yi Chichi repeated what Liu Xiangqian had said. After hearing it, Wen's mother looked at her with pity and said, "Chi, I'm afraid your plan of staying at home and embroidering will be dashed."

Yi Chichi was mentally prepared that Hua Pozi's identity in Kaoshantun was a bit special.

She is a widow, childless, and one of her eyes is blind, but she used to be a spirit medium and knows some supernatural things.

That is to say, the overall environment is not good now, so she has withdrawn from the mountain. In addition, she is old, and the locals trust her. As long as outsiders are unaware of her, everything is peaceful.

But everyone in the team believed what she said.

Since she said that the grain will be stored in the warehouse within half a month, it means that the climate will change drastically in half a month.

Time was too tight, and everyone had to rush to collect it, so naturally she couldn't escape.

"I just wanted to do something easier."

"Let's see tomorrow."

If it's too heavy, change it. Anyway, their family doesn't just rely on centimeters to make a living.

Yi Chichi nodded, and when she went to bed at night, she was still thinking about what kind of work the captain would assign her.

However, she never expected that her partners would be three little girls, Niu Niu, Xiao Ye Zi and Xiao Laba.

Looking at the little girls whose average age was no more than six years old, Yi Chi Chi was embarrassed and asked, "Who will be the team leader?"

Niu Niu and the others looked at each other, raised their hands and said "me".

Quite ambitious.

That's right, "You three command me alone?"

The three of them exchanged glances again and nodded, "Okay."

Yi Chichi felt that she was not qualified and that she should be the team leader.

Just as she was about to speak, her little trumpet-shaped mouth drooped and her eyes turned red, which scared her so much that she shuddered all over and quickly nodded in agreement.

"You guys tell me to do whatever I want, okay?!"

Don’t cry, the name “Little Trumpet” is really right. When he cries, his voice is as loud as a trumpet, which can make people’s ears buzz.

Yi Chichi, who had the good fortune to experience it once, still feels scared when he thinks about it.

As long as Xiaolabao doesn't cry, she can do anything.

"Really, Auntie, will you really listen to us?"

Xiao Loudspeaker asked for confirmation again, and Yi Chichi nodded and said he would promise to listen.

"Okay, let's make the straw rope first."

There are many crops grown in Kaoshantun, including wheat, corn, and soybeans.

Because Baoan County is located in the north, the temperature rises later than in other places, and the time of spring planting will be relatively delayed by ten days to half a month. Naturally, the maturity of crops will also be delayed.

After the wheat is harvested, it needs to be tied into bundles with ropes for easy transportation.

Today is not the future. There are many plastic products and ropes.

Most ropes in this era were made of hemp or straw ropes. Hemp ropes required growing hemp, which was not available in Kaoshan Village. In order to have something to tie wheat and chop other things, making straw ropes became an indispensable task every autumn harvest.

In order to rush the harvest this year, all the able-bodied elderly people took their farm tools and went to work in the fields, and the work of twisting straw ropes and cutting grass fell on the child soldiers.

Children of this generation are all capable. Although Xiao Laba and the others are young, they are more skilled than Yi Chichi in twisting straw ropes.

After just two rubs, Xiaolaba became desperate about her speed.

The little kid had a look of despair on his face, which made people laugh.

As the person being scolded by her, Yi Chichi couldn't laugh.

"Auntie, you are not the one who works."

"Compared to you, I am indeed a lot worse."

Yi Chichi lowered her head guiltily. It was her first time making straw ropes, and she couldn't get the speed up whether feeding the straw or turning the hands.

Xiao Ye Zi stared at her for a long while, then turned to discuss with Niuniu and the others, "Why don't we let Auntie turn the wheat?"

"Okay."

So, Yi Chichi was expelled from the team that made straw ropes and was forced to turn over the wheat with a rake.

The harvested wheat needs to be dried after threshing.

Although it is still early, the first batch of wheat has been transported back, threshed with a thresher, and poured onto the drying yard.

The piles look extremely promising, but once all the wheat is harvested, the wheat in the drying yard will have to be replaced several times.

Yi Chichi took a rake and roughly separated the piled wheat, then raked it evenly.

I just finished raking the ground here and the birds came.

She tried to drive them away in large groups, but some always slipped through the net. She had no choice but to make a scarecrow in a hurry.

Niu Niu and the others were stunned. They shook their heads and sighed as they looked at the strange-looking scarecrow she had made.

Niuniu even complained, "Auntie is really not good at anything, but eating is her number one priority."

Yi Chichi, “…”

How come this kid is becoming more and more talkative?

"Niuniu, can you please save some face for your aunt?"

The little girl grinned, her hands still feeding grass, "Auntie, you're afraid of growing fat, you've already lost face."
