Chapter 394: Do Something

Kang Youxin opened his mouth to answer, but then he realized that his elder sister might not be able to hear him clearly, so he turned around to get a pen and paper.

Wen's mother stopped him.

"Forget it, it's not important. Anyway, go out and find Chi Chi and ask her to take you to report to the captain."

Kang Youxin, “…”

His eldest sister's character is still as decisive as ever.

That's fine. As an obedient little brother, he will definitely not go west if his elder sister tells him to go east.

So, Yi Chichi, who came out with dried seafood and malted milk, was greeted by a man who had to go to report and was reluctant to give up food as if he had been greedy for hundreds or thousands of years. He gobbled the food up and drank a cup of malted milk in one breath without fear of the heat.

Yi Chi Chi was stunned and tried to dissuade him, "Uncle, slow down. No one is trying to snatch it from you. Be careful not to choke."

Kang Youxin's answer was to put down the empty cup, burp with a satisfied look on his face, then take a pen and paper and ask Yi Chichi to take him to see the team leader.

"Are all the documents in order?"

"together."'

It's not just about being able to move around freely in your own little piece of land. If you want to go out of the city or across several cities, don't even think about riding in a car without a license.

Worried that Yi Chi would not believe him, he unbuttoned his military coat and took out his work permit, family visit certificate and other relevant documents from his pocket to show her.

Yi Chichi glanced at him and took him to see the captain.

Before leaving, Wen's mother, who heard the noise, told the team leader to find him a place to sleep.

Yi Chichi agreed and then took Kang Youxin to find the team leader.

When we arrived, we found that the team leader who was carrying the wooden box back had put the things down and went to the team headquarters.

The branch secretary and others are here too.

Upon learning of Yi Chichi's purpose, the team leader and his colleagues checked Kang Youxin's documents as usual and arranged accommodation for him.

At the branch secretary's house, I lived in the room of his youngest son Liu Liang.

After Liu Liang got his diploma, he relied on a classmate with whom he had a good relationship to find him a temporary job at a county scrap yard.

The county was too far away from Kaoshantun, and the cruel reality prevented him from going home every day. He stayed at the home of a classmate who helped him find a job.

The room in the house was empty.

In the words of the branch secretary, it has everything and is very convenient.

Kang Youxin was also generous and directly took out five dollars and said it was for accommodation fee.

The branch secretary refused to accept the money, and Yi Chichi couldn't let him pay it.

She snatched the money and stuffed it back into Kang Youxin's hand, then quickly took out two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes from her pocket and stuffed them into his hand.

"Uncle, you have to hold this, otherwise you won't be able to live here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the branch secretary immediately withdrew his hand that was about to refuse.

"Okay, uncle will keep it."

The child is so sincere, it would be bad to refuse him.

Kang Youxin looked at Yi Chichi in surprise, as if wondering how Yi Chichi could understand the ways of the world.

Yi Chichi didn't look at him and didn't notice the change in his expression, but it was different for the captain and the others.

The few people who were looking at Kang Youxin curiously laughed when they saw his expression.

"Comrade Kang, don't be fooled by the fact that Chi Chi looks unreliable. She is actually very reliable in her work."

The implication is: She is well versed in the ways of the world.

Yi Chichi, who is well versed in the ways of the world, really wants to say that I am not a fool and I understand everything I should understand.

The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back and changed them to -

"Why are you all at the brigade headquarters?"

"Don't mention it. We received a notice from above saying that in order to respond to national policies to strengthen production and labor, we should mobilize the members to do something and stop them from staying in their homes all day long."

Yi Chichi looked at the weather outside, then at the captain and the others.

Seeing everyone looking speechless, I felt speechless too.

"So what are you going to do?"

"We discussed it and decided that picking beans, grinding millet, and collecting manure are all labor, so they all count."

Good idea, you can pick beans indoors.

You can grind millet in the house, but there is no way to grind manure.

But frozen manure has no odor, and exercise can make people warm, so it is not that uncomfortable to actually move.

"general mobilization?"

"That can't be."

The main thing is that there aren't that many beans, millets, and manure for them to distribute. "Just do what's appropriate."

Yi Chichi understood it immediately. This is a typical case of there being policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

Since it was still early for lunch, Yi Chichi left Kang Youxin to the captain and others who were curious about him.

Kang Youxin was also willing to stay and communicate with them, so in the end, Yi Chichi went home alone.

Wen's mother was not surprised by this. Instead, she asked Yi Chichi whether Mu Da could solve the problem that Kang Youxin had mentioned.

"Mom, you're really putting me in a difficult position. I really don't know anything about this. I'll know after Aunt Mu comes back to see me."

Mother Wen sighed, "Xiaokang is such a pitiful child."

child?

Thinking about Kang Youxin's rough, weathered face, and then looking at Wen's mother's face, which was still naturally beautiful despite her age, Yi Chichi was a bit confused and said, "Mom, you two think Uncle Kang is older than you."

"No, he's about ten years younger than me."

Kang Youxin was an orphan and almost starved to death on the roadside. He was rescued by their troops when they passed by.

Then Kang Youxin became dependent on them and became the youngest soldier in their team.

Recalling the past, she laughed, "Fortunately, he's doing well now."

Yi Chichi hummed, "Mom, have you been in contact with Uncle Kang before?"

"No."

"Then how did Uncle Kang find you?"

"I must have heard the news from your Aunt Hong and the others."

The Aunt Hong that Wen Mu mentioned was the old comrade-in-arms that Yi Chichi accompanied her to the city to meet last year. Her surname was Du and her name was Hongyan.

I am currently working at the Municipal Women's Federation. I have always kept in touch with Wen's mother and they have a good relationship.

That time, Yi Chichi accompanied Wen's mother to see her and received a gift, a coat, which was said to be from Shanghai.

It was her size and fit her perfectly, but she had no chance to wear it in Kaoshantun.

After I got it back, I kept it in the closet, waiting to see if I would have the chance to wear it in the future.

"How's your embroidery going?"

The topic changed so quickly that Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before replying, "It will be completed before spring."

"Are you going to Xiaona in the spring?"

"Mom, are you going?"

Yi Chizhi didn't answer but asked instead, and Wen's mother was stunned. Is she going?

To be honest, I don’t really want to.

But she missed her son.

After thinking it over, she sighed and said, "I'm not going."

"Why? Mom, you don't even want to smell it?"

She was silent for a long time, and Yi Chichi saw the obvious excitement on her face. He originally thought that she was willing to go, but he didn't expect that she would not go.

To be honest, this answer disappointed her.

She really wanted to take Wen's mother to see her son, and Wen Shi actually missed Wen's mother quite a bit.

"The car ride is too long, and I get seasick."

At this point, Wen's mother began her first attempt at urging a baby after marriage. "Go tell Wen Shi this time that I'll run away with you whenever you two have a baby."

The troops will be rotated, and there will be normal promotions and demotions. By that time, Wen Shi may no longer be on the island.

She didn't have to take a boat either, which was perfect.
