Chapter 392 Asking Parents for External Assistance

Yi Chichi, "...Uncle, isn't your throat hot?"

“Not spicy.”

Liu Chengqi looked very happy. "I haven't had onions this delicious since my vegetable garden froze in the winter."

At this point, he sighed with some regret, "It would be even better if there were some green onions."

Wen's mother had no expression on her face. "Should I give you some more chili?"

"Are there chili peppers?"

Liu Chengqi was surprised, and Yi Chichi was speechless. Of course not. The space was so small. Just plant some green onions and green leafy vegetables to relieve the pressure.

No amount of sincerity can be expected.

"No."

Wen's mother angrily retorted, "You think growing this is easy? It's a waste of firewood."

This is indeed a problem, but it’s not a big deal. It will be easier next year after I gain some experience.

"Store more firewood next year."

He was very excited. "There are a few broken trees in the mountains. We'll go and pull them back in the fall."

More than half a year is enough time for those trees to become dead trees, and after being chopped, they can become firewood that is durable and long-lasting to burn.

"We'll talk about it in the fall."

Pointing at the wooden boxes, Wen's mother urged, "Hurry up and pick the ones you like and move them away. Don't waste time."

"Niuniu is still waiting."

After saying this, Liu Chengqi no longer hesitated and picked up a wooden box leaning against the wall, "I want this."

This box is full of green onions.

Not a single leafy green.

Yi Chichi looked at the boxes of onions and green leafy vegetables and reluctantly reminded, "Uncle, since you've moved everything, why not take the mixed ones back? After all, green leafy vegetables can improve the taste."

Eating potatoes, radishes, cabbage, sauerkraut, dried beans, eggplants and other things every day is making me go crazy.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have some fresh vegetables?

As a result, Liu Chengqi didn't think it was fragrant, and he said no with a look of disgust.

When asked the reason, the answer was very serious.

"It's yellow and looks unpalatable."

This reason is very good and powerful, so powerful that Yi Chichi was speechless.

Wen's mother snorted, "Why don't you ask your wife if she likes it? It's not a big deal if it's a little yellow. In the middle of winter, eating some yellow leaves is better than eating Chinese cabbage or sauerkraut."

It’s not that those things don’t taste good, but no matter how delicious they are, you can’t eat them every day.

"Change it and improve the taste for your wife and the others."

This makes sense.

In addition, Wen's mother's tone became irritable. Liu Chengqi looked at the wooden box in his hand, then looked at the box with vegetable leaves planted in it. After thinking for two seconds, he decisively changed it.

Then he asked, "How much?"

Wen's mother's response was to pick up a broom and say, "I'll sweep you to death with this broom, believe it or not."

Liu Chengqi, "..."

"How big of a deal is it that you're asking me for money?"

She was fierce, and Liu Chengqi shrank his neck. "Digging the soil, making the wooden box, and burning the firewood, these are all costs."

Wen's mother put down the broom. Indeed, the wooden box was made by Xiaoye, and the soil was dug with the help of her grandfather-in-law.

The green onion leaves were negligible, as they were already in the vegetable garden. She just took some time to transplant them.

but--

"I don't want money, but give me some of your persimmon seeds."

Yi Chichi's eyes lit up, "That's fine, the persimmons my aunt grows are delicious."

In the summer, Aunt Ma brought back some tomato seedlings from somewhere, saying they were some new variety.

The tomatoes that grew were uglier than each other, but they tasted amazing.

The disadvantage is that the yield is a bit low, but it can be saved for seeds.

So, ever since the tomatoes started to ripen, Aunt Ma has repeatedly reminded us not to eat too much and just to taste them.

She wants to save seeds.

Yi Chizhi was fed twice, one at a time. It was okay if he didn’t eat it, but once he ate it, he couldn’t forget it.

When Liu Chengqi saw her sparkling eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched. This damn girl was addicted to the persimmons in his family.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you."

Anyway, his wife has left a lot of seeds, and a handful of seedlings will be enough for the two of them to eat.

You can also feed Qin Jiu and the old man at the same time.

Thinking of the old man, he remembered something, "By the way, Chi Chi, go down and tell your grandpa and the others that they need to write two certificates and submit them this month."

"Why?"

"I don't know. That's what the Commune says."

She said, "Did you tell me when it will be delivered?"

"Just submit it before January 10th."

Yi Chichi calculated the time and found that there was still plenty of time.

"Okay, I'll go tell them later."

So, Liu Chengqi opened the wooden box, and Yi Chichi began to think about what other major events would happen next year besides the South China Sea.

When Wen's mother came back from sending someone off, she found her leaning against the door in a daze and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the proof?"

Yi Chichi, whose thoughts were interrupted, shook his head and said, "No."

Wen's mother said, "Are you going over now, or waiting until dinner time?"

"Are you going to make something delicious today?"

When Yi Chichi heard this, he knew that Wen's mother was going to prepare a big meal today.

"Cook the pig's stomach and large intestine."

First it was wild boars and then domestic pigs. Her daughter-in-law was like shopping sprees, wanting to buy up all the goods.

I stocked up on some goods.

We haven’t finished eating it yet and it’s all frozen in the snow in the backyard.

"I'll go dig."

Yi Chichi became excited when he heard this, picked up a shovel and went to the backyard.

Seeing this, Big Orange immediately followed. When Yi Chizhi dug out a pig's stomach, it came over to sniff it and started meowing at the top of its lungs.

Obviously, eat.

"It's frozen hard and you can't eat it now. Can I give it to you when it's cooked?"

The big orange one didn't understand, and with its mind and eyes full of food, it started to rub against the food, and its voice became choked up.

Yi Chichi, "...This doesn't taste good either."

Mother Wen sighed, went back to the house and brought over a large piece of dried squid, "Eat this."

As he was speaking, a piece of squid was thrust in front of his nose.

The big orange boy's pupils dilated, then shrank, and then he sniffed a few times with his nose, and then he grabbed the squid piece with his mouthful of roar.

Hearing his mother let go, he didn't want the pig stomach anymore, and went back to the house happily to eat the squid slices.

By the time Yi Chichi brought the scraped pig stomach and large intestine into the house, it had already finished eating half a piece of squid.

Then, a blazing gaze shot in from the doorway.

The big orange boy's fur instantly stood up, a fierce "sha" sound came from his throat, and his back arched.

Yi Chichi looked up and saw a stranger at the door. Fearing that the big orange would attack, he quickly calmed it down before asking, "Who are you looking for?"

The man who came was a middle-aged man with sharp features. In fact, he was too thin, and the bones on his face were exposed.

The eyes looking at the squid slices were a little green.

Hearing Yi Chizhi's words, he reluctantly looked away and opened his mouth to speak a bunch of chatter.

Yi Chichi, "??? What did you say?"

Damn it, what dialect is this? I can't understand it at all.

"Damn you."

The man pointed at himself, then at Yi Chichi, then gestured with his hands, chattering non-stop.

"Wait a minute, I'll call the parents."

Yi Chichi, who had no idea what he was saying or what he was gestured to, gave up struggling and chose to ask his parents for help.
