Chapter 90: Report Good News, Not Bad News

They are not favored at home and their relationships are not very good.

Yi Chichi is different.

Just look at what she has learned and you will know that it is impossible for a girl who does not come from a favored family to learn these things.

Instead, they are surrounded by heavy housework and farm work all day long.

What's more, she was a sickly person before, so it's no exaggeration to say that she had to take medicine all the time.

Even so, he was not abandoned and was raised well. It is impossible to say that he is not favored.

Yi Chichi had no idea what was going on in their heads. After entering the house, she put on her military coat and started stuffing things into it.

The original owner was not short. He used to be 165cm tall even though he was severely malnourished and skinny. After Yi Chichi went to the countryside, he never treated himself harshly and gained a lot of weight.

One also jumped up a bit.

But Yi Yong's military coat was still too big for her, so even if a lot of things were stuffed inside, it was hardly noticeable.

Then she walked out with her head down, looking sad and lost.

New Year's Eve is just a few days away. Except for children of Niu Niu's age, there is nothing to do in the team to wander around. The teenagers and adults are busy preparing food for the New Year, cleaning and so on.

Therefore, she reached the cowshed smoothly by avoiding people along the way.

Then, she saw Qin Jiu, whose little face and hands were red from the cold, and Old Lady Song squatting together washing sweet potatoes.

She called out "Xiao Jiu" softly.

Qin Jiu looked up when he heard the shouting. Seeing Yi Chichi opening her mouth to call him "Auntie", she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes curved into crescents.

Yi Chichi smiled, this kid is so smart.

She pointed to the door, signaling with her eyes that she wanted to enter the house.

Qin Jiu nodded his little head, turned around and whispered a few words to Old Lady Song. The old lady touched his head, smiled at Yi Chichi, and then continued to do her own thing.

Then, Yi Chichi saw Qin Jiu crouching towards her like a thief.

"Auntie!"

The deliberately lowered voice could not hide the excitement, and the eyes were sparkling.

"Auntie is here."

Yi Chichi picked him up and touched his little hands and face, which were cold.

"Are you cold?"

"It's not cold. I'm wearing the long underwear and long johns that my aunt made for me."

The child only reports good news and not bad news, which makes the sensible Yi Chichi feel distressed.

"Where do we enter the house?"

"I'll show you the way."

This kid has already gotten familiar with the situation in the cowshed, and he knows exactly where to go to avoid being discovered.

Following his instructions, Yi Chichi entered the house through the side door.

The old man and the others are not here, but there are a lot of new things in the house.

Seeing those things, she raised her eyebrows, "Did someone send you something?"

"The captain and the branch secretary came to see me off in the evening."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Chichi knew what was going on. It was the man from the commune who came to deliver supplies to the old man and his men.

Good.

"Where are Grandpa and the others?"

"Going to set up a trap and collect firewood."

Yi Chichi, ...It's okay to use a cover in this weather, but it's useless to pick up firewood, it's all wet and can't be burned.

"No more firewood?"

"Yes, but not much."

Qin Jiu poured her some water like a little adult and explained, "Grandpa said that we, the old and the young, should collect more firewood during the winter, otherwise we won't have time to collect firewood when we start working in the spring."

That makes sense.

"How long have you been gone?"

"For a while."

He didn't know exactly how long it would take.

Yi Chichi said, "Which room do you and Grandpa sleep in?"

"Grandpa Song and Grandma Song live in one room, and we live in another."

Pointing to the kang against the wall, he said, "This is our room."

It just needs to be Qin Jiu and their house.

"Can you hide things?"

Qin Jiu understood immediately that his aunt had sent something again.

The child did not feel happy, but worriedly held her hand and said like a little adult, "Auntie, can you support yourself?"

"I can."

Yi Chichi pinched his little face, "Don't worry, auntie will only help you and Grandpa if she can support herself, understand?"

"I understand. My aunt is awesome!"

The child gave her a thumbs up, and Yi Chichi couldn't help laughing.

"Aunt can't stay here for long. Hide the things and wait for Grandpa to come back and tell him."

Before she finished speaking, she began to take things out of her clothes.

She first took out the cakes, which were almost soaked with oil. She bought one pound in total. She ate two herself and brought the rest with her.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The cakes of this era are very delicious. They are made of real ingredients and there is no technological feat involved.

But it’s not really to Yi Chichi’s taste.

He opened one and stuffed it into Qin Jiu's mouth, "Eat it quickly."

Qin Jiu, who was caught off guard by a cake, took a bite subconsciously. Yi Chichi saw surprise in his eyes, but the child's subsequent behavior made her sad.

After he swallowed the cake, he held the small cake in his small hands and put it to her mouth, "Auntie, you eat it, I just want to taste it, it's delicious."

"Aunt has already eaten, Xiao Jiu can eat by himself."

Pointing at the remaining ones, she said, "Look, my aunt bought quite a lot, and there are still some in the Youth League House. These are for you and Grandpa and the others."

"Really?"

“Really!”

Only then did the child eat with peace of mind.

When he saw the malted milk, he refused to take it and let Yi Chichi take it away.

Since Yi Chichi had brought it, it was naturally impossible for him to take it back.

"This is for you and Grandpa to nourish your body. You can't get sick. You and Grandpa are the only two relatives I have left. You have to take good care of yourself, otherwise I will be bullied to death."

"……good."

He had to grow up quickly to protect his grandfather and aunt and not let them be bullied.

When he saw Military Station No. 51, his eyes lit up.

"Little man's book!"

"Yes, Auntie bought it for you. After you finish watching it, Auntie will change it for you."

The child couldn't wait to read it.

Today's picture books are really nice to look at, and the illustrations are beautiful too.

She flipped through the book out of curiosity last night and was so obsessed with it that if she had not had strong self-control and was still thinking about embroidery, she would have spent the entire evening reading the picture book.

Soon all the things were taken out, and Qin Jiu saw that he stopped taking out things, so he knew it was his turn.

Then, Yi Chichi saw him start hiding things like a hamster.

The kang hole, walls, beams, etc. are all good places to hide things.

Especially the point on the beam where things were hidden, the old man and his friends actually built a mechanism. The rope for the basket was outside the window, and it was so tattered and inconspicuous.

If Qin Jiu hadn't opened the window to pull the rotten hemp rope, she wouldn't have noticed the basket on the beam.

After all the things were hidden, Yi Chichi was about to say goodbye and leave when he found a piece of clothing with several holes in it on the kang.

She picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was children's clothes.

I haven't seen it before. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be sent by the captain and his men.

"your?"

"Um."

The child nodded, "Mrs. Song said if it's empty, I can just mend it and continue to wear it."

Yi Chichi was silent for two seconds, "Do you have a needle and thread?"

"have."

"Go get it, and your aunt will make it up for you."

The child turned and ran, and soon came back with needle and thread and scraps of cloth.
