Chapter 41 I'm really damned

"What are you going to send home?"

This was not a pleasant topic, and everyone present had a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Yi Chi Chi seemed to be unaware of the pain in his heart and asked again, "Aren't you going to send it?"

Zhou Qiuyu was a little embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to explain, "I won't send it. I have to support myself first..."

She slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, I'm not afraid of you scolding me. I don't plan to go back to that home. I treat myself as an orphan."

“Smart choice.”

Wang Nan gave her an admiring look, with a hint of envy in her expression, "Actually, your parents have done a very good thing. At least they allow you to give them up without any psychological burden. We..."

Sighing deeply, she said helplessly, "It's not to this extent. I can't be so ruthless."

Yi Chichi felt that it was impossible to be so ruthless, as it was obvious that there were still thoughts and hopes for family affection.

But it's normal. There are only a few people in this world who can cleanly separate themselves from their original families.

"Chichi, are you sending it?"

Yi Chichi originally wanted to divert attention and get away, but he didn't expect the topic to return to himself.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook her head under everyone's gaze.

"No."

The tone was firm and unquestionable.

Bai Chen and the others looked at her in surprise, and Wu Yongfei asked curiously, "Not at all?"

"Um."

"Your parents..."

“Dead!”

She had a wooden face and spoke cold words without any emotion.

In the eyes of Bai Chen and others, it was an expression of excessive sadness.

In an instant, the feeling of "I really deserve to die" arose in the hearts of several people.

“S-Sorry!”

They said in unison and bowed.

The speed was so fast that Yi was slow to react and they had already completed the process.

She tried hard to control the expression on her face, and gave a straightforward reply in silence.

"Don't be sorry, I can take it easy."

In her heart, Yi Yong is dead even if he is alive.

After all the things he did, he should have either turned into a pile of ashes or been buried in the ground and turned into a pile of rotten meat, right?! Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her heart, she stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to sleep first."

Without waiting for anyone to reply, she left with the basin filled with meat sauce and the enamel pot of lard.

Wang Nan and the others watched her leaving and felt that she was filled with deep sorrow.

I felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Be careful what you say next time."

Bai Chen looked at Wu Yongfei and said helplessly, "I beg you, can you please keep your mouth shut?"

Wu Yongfei was confused, "What does this have to do with me?"

No matter what he said, he would end up being scolded.

"It was you who brought up her sad story."

Zhou Yadong hit the nail on the head. Wu Yongfei was speechless. He wanted to explain. This matter was indeed caused by him. So he could only nod and say, "I will carry an embroidery needle with me from tomorrow."

I'll try my best to avoid making mistakes in the future.

It is better to prick yourself with a needle than to get beaten to death because of your outspokenness.

Thinking of this, he said to Wang Nan and the others, "Please lend me one of your embroidery needles."

"I'll get it for you."

If they wanted to borrow something else, Wang Nan and the others would have to think about it, but for embroidery needles, there was no need to think about it, they could just give it to them directly.

If they didn't have one, they would be willing to change it for him.

After all, Wu Yongfei likes to make indiscriminate attacks.

They are also victims.

I really don't want to be so angry at him that I can't speak.

Soon, the embroidery needle appeared in Wu Yongfei's hand.

He held the needle and pondered for a while, then pinned it in front of his clothes.

"Remember, when you can't control your mouth, prick yourself."

Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, but still subconsciously gave another reminder.

Wu Yongfei nodded, looked at Yi Chichi's room, and said softly, "How about, Lao Wang, you guys go down and comfort her?"

It's a good idea, but -

"I think she'd rather be alone now."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Nan said seriously, "Anyway, I don't like people around me when I'm in a bad mood."

Wu Yongfei wanted to say something, but Qi Yang covered his mouth and said, "Stop nagging and go to bed. I'll cut my hair tomorrow."

Yes, this is business.

So, everyone went back to their rooms and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Yi Chichi started his career as a barber. He began by cutting hair for educated youths, but was seen by Liu Xiangqian and his companions who were escorting the team leader into the mountains.

Then, it became a job to cut hair for the whole village.

She didn't give any money, but as a thank you, the man who cut her hair went home and got something as a gift for her.

This family gave a bunch of vegetables, that family gave an egg and a few sweet potatoes, etc.

In the evening, Yi Chichi sorted and organized things. Except for twenty eggs which he kept for himself, he divided the rest, such as peanuts, pine nuts, pickles, etc., into two portions and gave them to Bai Chen and the others.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten his food and be lenient to those who have received his gifts. After this incident, Bai Chen and his friends took special care of her.

Whenever I encounter something, I just help out.

In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed since the captain and his men entered the mountains, and today was a rare sunny day.

Yi Chichi and Wang Nan were sitting at the door lazily basking in the sun when suddenly they heard a sound of chaotic footsteps.

Looking up, I saw Bai Chen, Qi Yang and the branch secretary leading a large group of people walking in from the wide-open courtyard gate.

There were several people in cadre uniforms, the oldest of whom had a briefcase under his arm. He came in and went straight to Yi Chichi and the others.

"Who is Yi Chichi?"

Wang Nan and the others were startled, but Yi Chichi understood what was going on. He quickly stood up and extended his hand to the person who came. "Hello, leader. I am Yi Chichi."

No matter who this leader is, it’s always right to call him leader if you don’t know his last name.

"Young and promising, Comrade Yi Zhiqing is really a good comrade!"

He reached out his hand and shook hands with Yi Chichi, and said to Liu Xiangqian with a smile on his face, "Comrade Liu, Yi Zhiqing is a good comrade. After discovering the spy, he took action without hesitation and made an outstanding contribution to the security of the motherland."

He said sincerely, "We came here this time specifically to honor her."

He looked around the Youth Courtyard and said, "Comrade Liu, do you think we can find a venue to hold a commendation meeting for Yi Zhiqing?"

“It should be.”

Liu Xiangqian knew that the people from the county came for Yi Chichi, and he also knew that she was probably doing something good.

But he really didn't expect that the good thing this girl did was to catch spies.

This girl is really great.

As the production brigade where she was sent to work, although the credit had nothing to do with Kaoshantun, the invisible benefits would fall on them.

They were awarded the title of Outstanding Branch Secretary and Team Leader at the beginning of the year, and they also received the honorary commendation for the Outstanding Survival Team.

No, this situation needs to be made bigger, and it would be best if several nearby production brigades knew about it.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Secretary Tang, I would like to gather the villagers to learn from Yi Zhiqing. I hope you and the leaders can give me guidance."
