Chapter 455: Frozen into a Silly Roe Deer

In the evening, the couple sat on chairs, staring at the two dollars on the table in a daze.

After a while, Wen Shi asked, "Wife, how much does it cost to buy a doll?"

"have no idea."

She had never bought a doll and had no need for one, so naturally she wouldn't bother to know the price.

Her eyes fell on Wen Shi's face and she asked, "Why, do you still want to buy a doll for Sisi?"

"That can't be."

Even if Lao Zhou buys it, he won’t take it for free. He will have to pay for it, which is a burden for him because the doll is not cheap after all.

Gifts are only effective when they touch people’s hearts.

Otherwise it would be a waste.

"But you can buy some candy for Sisi and the others."

This is indeed possible.

So, Yi Chichi stuffed the money into his pocket and said, "You can arrange it yourself."

Wen Shi hummed, picked her up by the waist and said, "Take a shower and go to bed. From now on, we must cherish every minute we are together."

The next time we meet may be a few months away.

It makes me sad just thinking about it!

However, there is no use being melancholy, and there is no use cherishing. It is difficult to get together but easy to leave.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Ning and the others from the Friendship Store with the materials, Wen Shi silently escorted her to the train. After putting her luggage away, he instructed, "Wife, send me a telegram as soon as you get home."

"good!"

"Write to me, preferably once a week."

If we really write at this frequency, according to the current postal speed, I'm afraid they will have to be piled up and delivered together.

The key is that there is not so much content to write.

But looking at Wen Shi's expectant eyes, she sighed in her heart, still unable to convince herself to fulfill his tiny wish.

The main environment does not allow it.

"Comrade Wen, let me remind you that it's already snowing back home. Do you think it's appropriate for me to brave the biting cold, strong winds, and heavy snow to go to the commune and send you a letter?"

"Not suitable."

He answered quickly, "Once a week in the spring, is that okay?!"

He felt bad for his wife to run like this in the middle of winter. But it was different in spring. The temperature had risen and it was more convenient to go to the commune.

"Can."

This is really possible. I go to the commune more often in the spring.

"I'll take my mom to take some pictures and send them to you."

Wen Shi, "...Why didn't you take a picture before?"

Yi Chichi smiled awkwardly, "I hadn't thought of it before."

She has no habit of taking photos. Although selfies became so popular in later generations, she never posted selfies on her Moments. She has never liked taking photos since she was a child.

Since she came into this world, the only time she took a photo was when she and Wen Shi got their marriage certificate and needed a photo. Otherwise, she would not have taken a photo.

"I've taken photos and sent them to you every month since the spring. You and Mom are together."

"good."

"Send me some food and ask Mom to make more soybean paste. Old He also likes it."

"Isn't Zhang Xin a student?"

"It's not as delicious as the one I made."

The implication is: neither he nor Lao He likes to eat much.

"good!"

As she was speaking, a sharp whistle sounded. Wen Shi opened his arms and hugged her, "Wife, I'm leaving. Be careful on the road. Have you put away the medicine powder and needle?"

"It's put away."

Wen Shi looked at her deeply and got out of the car.

He didn't leave in a hurry, but stood at the window until the train gradually went away and was completely out of sight, then he looked away and turned away.

Yi Chizhi wasn't feeling much better either. She leaned against the window and watched Wen Shi's figure being left far behind by the moving train. From such a big man, he turned into a small black dot and completely disappeared from her sight. Only then did she accept the reality that they were separated again.

But she has always been emotionally stable, and she has always believed that a separation that allows them to meet again is not a real separation.

So, after a brief period of loss, she returned to normal and started a stable life of eating, sleeping, reading and knitting.

Five days and seven nights passed in a flash, and we finally arrived at Baoan Commune.

There was a strong wind and heavy snow. Yi Chichi got off the bus and looked at the snow and ice outside the station. He was almost dumbfounded.

It's only October and it's snowing so heavily. This is even more terrible than she expected. What should she do now?

The clothes on my body are not enough.

Just when she was in trouble, the captain appeared in her sight.

The captain, fully armed in a big cotton-padded jacket and wrapped himself up like a bear, came in from the door with the big jacket in his left hand and a bulging cloth bag in his right hand, looking around as if he was looking for something.

Her eyes lit up and she rushed over quickly, "Uncle, I'm here!"

"Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise you would have frozen into a fool."

Yi Chizhi was embarrassed and just as he was about to speak, a big cloth bag came towards him and said, "Hurry up and put on the clothes, shoes and socks your mother prepared for you."

"good."

This was not the time to be polite. There were many people in the station who had received clothes from their relatives and friends. Yi Chizhi didn't even think about finding a place to change. He just took out a thick sweater, woolen trousers, two cotton-padded jackets, two cotton-padded trousers and put them on.

After changing clothes, I felt warm, but my fat arms couldn't be closed.

But it doesn't matter, the weather is mostly warm.

She pulled up her scarf to cover her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. Then she pulled the ear flaps of her hat down to cover her ears. Then she said, "Uncle, shall we go home now?"

"No, let's go to the department store first."

Yi Chichi, "??? Isn't it a supply and marketing cooperative? Why did you change the name?"

"The store expanded and the variety of products increased, so the name was changed."

"That's good."

The captain hummed, carrying her luggage as he walked out, saying, "Chi, do you have the industrial certificate?"

"Yes, uncle, how much do you want?"

"It's not me who wants it, it's your Uncle Zhuzi who wants it. His third daughter is getting married in the spring, and the woman wants enamel pots and thermoses, and there aren't enough industrial coupons."

Yi Chichi said, "How many do you want?"

"Give me ten, and then I'll ask Uncle Zhuzi to exchange them for cash. Is that okay with you?"

"I don't want money, I want fine grain."

Her family was not short of money or tickets, but they were short of fine grains.

My mother-in-law doesn't like to eat whole grains, and she is the same.

Qin Jiu said that if children eat coarse grains for a long time, their throats will not be able to bear it and it is also bad for their stomachs.

My great aunt and uncle are old and need fine grains that are easy to digest.

Therefore, the more fine grains the better.

"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back."

So, this topic ends here.

After coming out of the station, the two went straight to the department store to do some shopping.

Go in empty-handed and come out with bags.

The carriage was parked in the inn. The weather was too cold and the old horse would be better off if it could stay a little longer in the cold.

The two walked to the carriage inn, sweating all over.

Only a layer of ice crystals hung on her eyelashes.

When Jiang Yichichi reached the carriage shed, the captain said, "You go up there and wrap yourself in the sheepskin mattress and quilt. I'll go get the horses and come back."

"good."

There was a thick layer of hay under the carport, which made a creaking sound when people stepped on it, but it was warm and soft, so the sound was harmless.

After all the things were put away, the originally spacious carport suddenly became crowded.

After the mattress and quilt were wrapped together, it became even more crowded.

The captain, who was returning with the horses, saw her sitting in the carriage shed wrapped up in a ball and burst out laughing, "Are you cold now?"

“It’s not cold!”

"Then leave?"

"Walk."

Go home early and get relief early.

So, the carriage pulled the two of them and headed towards Kaoshantun in the wind and snow.
