Chapter 30 Yu Jiajia touched her own…
Yu Jiajia touched her hair, and it felt even better! It was incredibly smooth, and the texture had become much stronger. Her hair, which used to be thin, soft, and split-ended, had now become a beautiful head of hair. If she got two more 'black hair treatments,' she could be filming a shampoo commercial.
And today there's also a 'whitening +1' bonus!
She loves looking beautiful the most!
She took a couple of steps home when she suddenly felt someone staring at her. She turned her head and saw Xu Dali under the elm tree. He was standing in the shadows, and her expression was not visible.
But it made her feel uneasy.
Xu Dali: "Don't you like steamed buns?"
Yu Jiajia was too lazy to pay attention to him, and didn't care what he wanted to do. If he dared to do anything bad, her stun gun was not to be trifled with.
I remembered that strange feeling from earlier, not dangerous but creepy. Was that 'crisis prediction'?
It's really useful!
When they arrived home, Yu Songchuan was counting peaches. There were six big, fuzzy peaches in total, all plump and soft, looking very tempting, and even through the skin they smelled sweet.
But we definitely can't eat now; we have to wait for Cheng Xiuying to come back.
Yu Jiajia ate half a plate of fruit during the day, which included small pieces of peach. She wasn't craving fruit right now, so after glancing at it briefly, she started admiring her new clothes.
Opening the bag, inside was a small pouch wrapped in a very soft light pink cotton fabric. After unwrapping the light pink cotton fabric, inside was a pale yellow daisy-print dress, which was particularly fresh and much prettier than the one hanging in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Yu Songchuan was incredibly envious. "Fourth Sister, this dress is so beautiful! You should try it on! You'll definitely look great in it."
Yu Jiamin: "Jiajia has fair skin, which suits pale yellow. This pink cotton fabric feels soft to the touch and is perfect for making underwear."
Yu Jiajia went back to the west room to change her clothes, locked the door from the inside, drew the curtain, and put on a new dress. The dress was a high-waisted long dress with a very large, layered skirt.
She twirled around, and the hem of her skirt spread out like a large flower.
It looks really good, and Yu Jiajia is so vain about it.
She looked in the mirror and combed her hair again. She looked so beautiful! How could she be so beautiful and ethereal?
Her skin was fair and tender, her hair was jet black and smooth, and there were no split ends. She didn't seem to have grown much taller, probably still 1.6 meters, but she had long arms and legs and a good figure, so she looked especially good in clothes.
She ran into the main room in her new clothes, exclaiming, "Isn't it beautiful!"
Yu Songchuan circled around Yu Jiajia and said, "Fourth Sister, how come your skin is so good? It wasn't like this a while ago!"
Yu Jiajia: "I have a job now, my mood is better, I'm sleeping better, so of course my skin is better. And I've been eating meat every day lately! Your skin has gotten better too."
A diet lacking in oil and meat is bound to have poor skin; such a diet is unhealthy.
Eating well and with plenty of oil and fat makes your skin look fair and rosy.
Yu Songchuan thought that made sense, "But no one else is as obvious as you!"
Of course, she also has a system artifact.
Everyone envied Yu Jiajia for adding three dresses to her collection, and Yu Jiamin was also envious. "When I get my salary this month, I'll buy fabric to make new clothes."
Yu Songchuan couldn't afford it; he was just a poor student.
Yu Songyan didn't buy any; he planned to save money to buy Yu Jiajia a new pair of shoes.
Yu Songqing couldn't afford to buy any; his salary was barely enough to feed himself.
Cheng Xiuying and Yu Hongding returned from outside. When Cheng Xiuying saw Yu Jiajia wearing new clothes, her eyes lit up. She took Yu Jiajia's hand and looked her over closely: "My little darling looks so good. The room is so bright with these new clothes on."
"It's all thanks to my parents for making me so beautiful!" Yu Jiajia spun around to show Cheng Xiuying her new clothes. "Mom, once I've saved up enough cloth coupons, I'll take you to the department store to buy new clothes."
Cheng Xiuying: "I'm too old for new clothes. You and Jiamin, young girls, should be wearing new clothes more often."
After praising Yu Jiajia, she went to look at the cured meat, hung it on the beam in the kitchen, and then took four large peaches, washed them clean, and handed the biggest and reddest one to Yu Jiajia: "This is for Sibao." She broke the other three in half, giving each of them half.
Yu Jiajia: "Mom, I can't finish it, I'll break it in half for you."
Cheng Xiuying: "How can you not finish one peach? Hurry up and eat it."
Yu Jiajia couldn't finish it; she ate half and gave the rest to Cheng Xiuying.
Cheng Xiuying: "You child, you always think of me."
Yu Jiajia leaned on Cheng Xiuying's shoulder: "You're my mom, who else would I think about if not you?"
Cheng Xiuying was overjoyed.
Yu Songyan said, "Who wouldn't love a daughter like that? I have to admit, I can't be jealous of how much my mother loves her."
He also considered himself quite filial, but he was no match for Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia is truly a model of pure and filial piety!
If he had a peach, he would only let Cheng Xiuying take a bite.
If he had a watch, he would only want to wear it on his own wrist.
If he had a car, he would only want to ride it every day.
Yu Jiamin glanced at Yu Songyan, "You picked me? Don't worry. With a sister like this, I'm too busy spoiling her."
With Yu Jiajia's personality, if you give her a piece of candy, she'll want to repay you tenfold or a hundredfold.
As for Cheng Xiuying's affection, she doesn't need it; she's already 19.
Moreover, she was even less willing to exchange her watch and bicycle for Cheng Xiuying's maternal love; she felt that the watch and bicycle were more appealing.
Yu Songyan smiled, finished the last bite of the peach, and went to make steamed rice cakes.
Yu Jiamin helped out from the side; learning this skill would bring many benefits.
This is Yu Songyan's third time making Caozigao (a type of steamed rice cake). He is more experienced than the previous two times, and he is more skilled at whipping eggs and controlling the heat very well.
Yu Jiajia made orange crystal drinks for everyone again.
Yu Songchuan was so happy he was practically bubbling with joy: "I want my whole life to be like today."
Yu Songyan: "I want to too."
It contains meat, fruit, and orange crystals.
Yu Songchuan: "I want to try cured meat tomorrow."
Cheng Xiuying slapped him on the shoulder: "Why don't you just fly to the sky? I still want to eat cured pork rice. Who can give me a pound of rice? We'll have cured pork rice for tomorrow night."
Yu Jiajia: "Mom, I'll contribute one yuan."
Cheng Xiuying hugged her beloved child tightly: "My fourth child, don't just take money out of the house whenever you hear that your mother wants to eat something."
In the end, Yu Songqing, Yu Songyan, and Yu Jiamin each contributed 50 cents.
We'll have cured pork rice for breakfast tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Yu Jiajia went to the toilet with Yu Jiamin again and helped her aunt who was squatting on the toilet because her legs were numb. She obtained [Orange Crystal*1 + Ancient Five Animal Exercises*1 (2/3)].
From now on, there will be a continuous supply of orange quartz.
Before going to bed, she pulled Yu Jiamin to sew clothes together. The pink fabric was more than two feet long, and it was very soft, making it perfect for making underwear. They could make two sets.
The two designed the style and sewed the underwear together, and after it was finished, they tried it on together.
Yu Jiamin has a fantastic figure; she's tall and has a full bust. Wearing light pink lingerie, she looks both innocent and alluring—absolutely stunning.
Yu Jiajia's are beautiful too! Her breasts aren't big enough, but she's still young and has room to grow. I hope she can grow another seven or eight centimeters and become a tall and beautiful woman like her third sister.
Looking into Yu Jiajia's eyes, Yu Jiamin blushed slightly: "You're still young, you'll still develop. When I was 17, I wasn't as good as you."
Yu Jiajia giggled, "Third Sister is so beautiful!"
I won't try on the underwear; it hasn't been washed.
The two changed into their new clothes and pajamas, and went to the pool to wash them together so they could wear them tomorrow.
-
Cheng Xiuying got up as usual. She put on her clothes, first touched the bicycle in the main room, then went to the kitchen to check on the cured meat. Soon she would be able to eat cured meat rice. She had almost forgotten when she last ate cured meat rice.
I'm in an incredibly good mood!
She opened the door first and went to call Yu Songchuan to get up, "Fifth brother, fifth brother, get up and cook."
Yu Songchuan sat up abruptly in bed, flipped over and jumped off the upper bunk. He had dreamt of making cured pork rice all night, but hadn't managed to eat it.
Soon we'll be able to eat real cured pork rice!
Hearing the noise in the room, Cheng Xiuying knew that Lao Wu had gotten up and was getting ready to brush his teeth with his toothbrush cup.
etc!
Why are there two cart wheels next to the coal shed?
Where's the car?
Where are those two big old-fashioned bicycles?
All that's left are the two wheels locked to the tree?
In that instant, Cheng Xiuying's heart stopped beating, and anger surged up. She wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes, or if she was still half asleep... But when she opened her eyes again, she pinched her thigh, and there were still two car wheels by the wall.
The bicycle that Lao Yu's family had saved up for was stolen.
Cheng Xiuying roared in fury: "Damn it, which beast stole my bicycle? I'll kill your ancestors for eighteen generations!"
Her anger was at its peak, and her furious voice echoed throughout the compound, waking the people who were sleeping inside.
"Damn it, they're stealing from me! My two bicycles!"
Her heart was breaking.
Although Old Yu's bicycle wasn't bought, it was pieced together part by part. He went to repair shops and scrap yards everywhere, and even scavenged scrap metal from factories to assemble it.
It is one of the most precious assets of the Yu family.
Now there are only two wheels left!
Yu Songchuan was excitedly waiting to make cured pork rice, but when he saw the two cart wheels, his heart sank to the bottom.
Where's the car?
The most heartbroken was Yu Songqing. He ran out without even putting on his shoes properly, clutching the wheel of his car, his heart shattered into eight hundred pieces. "Where's my car?"
He could barely hold onto the wheels, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Cheng Xiuying searched the entire yard for her bicycle, trying to find it in every nook and cranny. Someone must be playing a joke! This joke is terrifying.
Everyone in the courtyard woke up. Hearing the commotion, they quickly checked to see if any of their belongings were missing.
Grandpa Hu fainted immediately; his bicycle vanished into thin air, leaving not even a wheel behind.
There were only seven vehicles in the compound. Grandpa Wang's vehicle was locked in the coal shed and hadn't been stolen. The other three vehicles hadn't been ridden back because he was working the night shift.
The Yu family and the Hu family were the only two victims.
Everyone quickly pinched Grandpa Hu's philtrum. When he woke up and saw the empty doorway, he almost fainted again.
Grandma Hu cried her heart out, cursing the car thief to die from choking on food, choking on water, falling to his death while going out, or crashing his bicycle, wishing him to be childless, without a proper burial place.
While comforting Cheng Xiuying, Yu Hongding asked Yu Songyan to call the police.
Cheng Xiuying lost all her spirits. Both bicycles could have been sold for over two hundred yuan each, especially Yu Songqing's bicycle, which was still very new. If the bicycle ticket wasn't required, people would be scrambling to buy it for one hundred and thirty yuan.
It was just stolen like that?
Where can we get back what's been stolen?
Yu Jiajia reached out and hugged Cheng Xiuying to comfort her: "Mom, we'll definitely find the car! It makes me feel bad that you're like this. You can ride my bicycle, and I'll buy you a new one later."
Cheng Xiuying's heart was pounding, and she was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Yu Jiamin looked around at her neighbors. Some were relieved, some were secretly pleased, and most of them cursed the car thief, wishing him a terrible death...
Who stole the car?
Cheng Xiuying reached out and hugged her youngest daughter, trying not to cry: "It rained last night, and I closed the door, so the sound of the rain masked the noise. Otherwise, I would definitely have heard something."
Yu Jiajia patted Cheng Xiuying on the back: "I know, Mom is the best."
Cheng Xiuying was completely out of control of her emotions: "I'll go look for them. With so many cars, where could they possibly hide? I'm sure I can find them."
When the police arrived, they were shocked to learn that three bicycles had been stolen from the courtyard. They reassured the family not to worry, assuring them that the police would do their best to find them. However, the search would be extremely difficult. It had rained at night, and everyone was asleep, so there were no witnesses. Unless the thief rode the bicycles out, it would be very difficult to find them.
After everyone left, Granny Xu clicked her tongue twice, looking smug. "You guys are better off, you still have two wheels. When you're building up your bicycle, you can save on two wheels. Luckily, your new bike was inside, otherwise it would have been stolen too. The Hu family doesn't even have two wheels."
Why didn't they steal the new car too?
The thief is such a coward, he should have gone inside to steal!
Why not steal Wang Laozei's bicycle? What's the point of keeping one?
Yu Jiamin said coldly, "Luckily, your family doesn't have a car, so you don't have to worry about it being stolen."
Granny Xu snorted, finding Yu Jiamin's words unpleasant to hear, but she was still in a very good mood, as happy as if she had eaten meat. Let the Yu family be smug, now the car is gone!
Grandpa Wang: "With so many courtyards, how did they manage to find ours? Did they want to steal Siya's new bicycle, but failed and didn't want to go back empty-handed, so they stole another bicycle?"
Yu Jiajia: !!! Is this old man crazy?
Cheng Xiuying glared at Grandpa Wang and said in a hoarse voice, "You want everyone to blame Sibao? You're so old, don't always treat others like fools."
Yu Jiamin: "The car was a reward for Jiajia from the county committee. Could it be that Grandpa Wang is blaming the county committee?"
Grandpa Wang felt humiliated by the younger generation's rebuke. "I was just stating the facts. Your Yu family's young lady is really sharp-tongued. Everything the county committee did was right, and I wholeheartedly support it."
Cheng Xiuying pointed at Grandpa Wang: "If you weren't an elder, I would have slapped you across the face. Don't mess with me now!"
Grandpa Wang was afraid that Cheng Xiuying would become violent in her rage, so he kept his mouth shut.
Hearing what Grandpa Wang said, Hu Jia felt that it made sense. Of all times, it was stolen, but just after Siya got her new car, a car thief came and stole their old bicycle.
Unable to calm down, Aunt Hu blamed everything on the Yu family: "If you hadn't been showing off your new bicycle, how could my bike have been stolen?"
Cheng Xiuying: "You have a new car, can you leave it outside? No one would leave a new car outside, especially on a rainy day. You believed him when he instigated our two families? I don't want to argue with you right now, I just want to find the bicycle."
Hu Jianjun pulled Aunt Hu along, saying, "Mom, let's find a car first."
The Yu and He families split into four groups and searched outwards from the courtyard, hoping to find it.
The neighbors in the compound also spontaneously joined in the search.
We searched from around 5 a.m. until almost 8 a.m., but there was still no sign of the bicycle. Searching everywhere was like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can't just search inside people's houses; you can only search outdoors.
Car thieves don't usually leave their cars outdoors.
Moreover, the thieves are probably not from the county; they may have already run away with the bicycle.
Everyone had been searching all morning without eating or having any appetite, but they still had to go to work in the morning, so they couldn't go on an empty stomach. The Yu family divided up the rice cakes they had made yesterday, and each person ate a piece to tide them over.
Cheng Xiuying: "Who stole it? There are so many courtyards, how did they manage to sneak into ours? We do have a new bicycle, but there are so many new bicycles on the street. The neighbor just bought a brand new 28-inch bicycle last month, and the courtyard in front has a nearly new women's bicycle."
Yu Songyan: "The Xu family?"
Yu Songqing grabbed Yu Songyan's wrist: "The Xu family?"
In just one morning, he had already developed two blisters on the corner of his mouth from worry. His bicycle was gone, leaving only a wheel, which was his most precious possession.
Yu Songyan: "Didn't his family make meat buns? What kind of family can make pure meat buns, especially after receiving 75 yuan in compensation? If it were someone else, they would definitely cut back on their own spending to save the money. But I have no evidence, it's just a guess. And Granny Xu's expression seemed quite normal."
Yu Songqing: "The Xu family! I'll keep an eye on the Xu family! My car, I have to get my car back."
He worked so hard to assemble the bike, but only rode it for a little over three months.
He's going crazy.
Yu Songchuan: "Brother, you should just forget about it. Don't alert them. There's nothing much going on at school. I'll take a few days off and keep an eye on things."
Yu Songyan: "I've been busy with other things lately and haven't been able to keep an eye on the Xu family."
Yu Jiamin: "I came back this afternoon since I didn't have any classes."
Yu Jiajia really wanted to participate. "I have to go to the subdistrict office. Once I'm done there, I'll definitely come back."
Cheng Xiuying clenched her fists: "Fourth Brother, go to work. Fifth Brother, keep an eye on the Xu family. Third Brother and I will come over when we're free." She then instructed Yu Songchuan: "Be extra careful. Once the car is found, we'll have cured pork rice at home."
Yu Songchuan: "Mom, don't worry, I'm keeping a close eye on things."
Everyone hurried off to work, and Yu Songchuan also carried his schoolbag and pretended to go to school, but actually hid in the shadows as soon as he left the house.
Cheng Xiuying let Yu Jiajia ride the new bicycle. Yu Jiajia said, "Mom, I'm just going to the neighborhood office. It's not far. You've been quite busy these past few days, going to work and keeping an eye on people. Riding a bike will be more convenient." She secretly slipped three White Rabbit milk candies into Cheng Xiuying's pocket.
Cheng Xiuying was deeply moved. How could her daughter be so kind? In the end, she rode her bicycle with Yu Hongding to work.
Yu Songqing became a carless person. He couldn't even eat a small piece of rice cake, so he put it in his schoolbag and put his only remaining unicycle in the east room. He forced back his tears and went to work.
Yu Jiajia looked at Yu Songqing's dejected figure in the shadows and felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
She also went to the neighborhood office with her schoolbag. The streets were crowded, so it wasn't easy to sneak a snack. Her daily check-in: [4 shumai]
Seeing the shumai made me really want to eat it, but the neighborhood office was just around the corner.
She actually arrived just in time, and apologized to Director Zhao as soon as she arrived, "Director, something happened at home, so I'm late."
Director Zhao asked with concern, "Has the car been found?"
Yu Jiajia shook her head sadly: "No."
Director Zhao said, "This car thief is too audacious, stealing a car right from your home. Don't worry, the police will definitely catch the thief." After comforting Yu Jiajia, he began his work for the day.
Yu Jiajia followed Director Zhao to several schools in the area to promote the worker-peasant-soldier first aid method, and then asked the students to go back to school and teach it to their parents.
The neighborhood office provides lunch, consisting of one meat dish and one vegetable dish. The meat dish is stir-fried pork, and the vegetable dish is Mapo tofu. The portion is very large, filling an entire lunchbox. The staple food is two steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and water.
Yu Jiajia ate some, then pretended she couldn't eat anymore. She closed the lunchbox, put it in her schoolbag, and prepared to take it home.
Two cars have been stolen from the house, and she's still eating heartily. That's too heartless and doesn't fit Yu Jiajia's character. She should go home and eat something better.
Director Zhao advised, "You're so thin, you need to eat more."
Yu Jiajia: "Director, I'm full."
Director Zhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go back and get some rest." This child is so good; even with such a big event happening at home, she can still do her job so well.
Yu Jiajia carried her schoolbag home. At the entrance of the courtyard, she looked around but did not see Yu Songchuan, nor did she see Cheng Xiuying or her third sister.
She went home first, but was stopped by Granny Xu at the Xu family's door.
Granny Xu: "Your car is stolen, aren't you going to look for it? Are you just waiting for the police to come looking for it?"
Yu Jiajia sighed, looking at Granny Xu, trying to see if there was anything unusual: "You've been searching all morning! The police will definitely be able to find the stolen bicycle!"
Granny Xu: "Where's your bicycle? Did you give it to your mother? You're such a stubborn girl. Your mother has taken all the good things from you. You'd better find a good husband soon so you can keep all these good things."
Nothing unusual; she's still a vicious old woman.
Yu Jiajia pretended to be furious: "Grandma Xu, what do you mean? You're not allowed to say anything bad about my mom. My mom is the best mom in the world! I want to give my mom any good things I have!" After saying that, she snorted, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Granny Xu: ??? Are you crazy?!
Is Cheng Xiuying, that shrew who favors sons over daughters, really a good mother?
That stubborn girl is really single-minded; she's been brainwashed by Cheng Xiuying.
Oh, if only their daughter-in-law had gotten those things back, she would definitely have helped her get the watch and bicycle back, so that these good things wouldn't fall into the hands of others.
Granny Xu went back into the house grumbling, "Siya's brain isn't working well, she's not as good as Sanya."
Xu Changjin: "Mom, they're not going to look for the bicycle anymore? They're just going to let it go like that?"
Granny Xu: "Everything is gone, where are we going to look for it? This thief didn't even think of a way to steal that new car."
Xu Changjin: "If it's locked inside, how can a thief steal it? Grandma, give me another bowl of shredded pork noodles, and give me extra meat."
"I'll scoop it all out for you." Granny Xu took the bowl and went to serve the noodles.
When Yu Jiajia got home, she found all three rooms locked and no one was home. She used her key to open the west room door, locked it from the inside, and started eating! She finished half a braised pig's trotter, put the bones back in her spatial backpack, and planned to throw the trash at the garbage station after she left.
She then ate the seafood from the seafood platter, which looked fresh from the pot and was still very hot. The spiciness was a bit strong. She ate a lobster to satisfy her craving and then dared not eat any more, afraid that the smell wouldn't dissipate. This kind of thing is best eaten secretly outside.
Let's stick to lamb skewers; the flavor isn't as strong.
After eating and drinking my fill, I washed my hands and face, poured out the dirty water, and lay on the bed eating fruit. I also took out the gold nugget and played with it for a while. I've been too busy lately to go to the recycling center. I'll take some time to go and see if there are any old books with hidden gold nuggets.
She rested for a while, then prepared to go out for a walk to see if she could find Yu Songchuan.
She hadn't gone out yet when, after a while, she heard Xu Dali's voice outside.
Xu Dali: "Grandma, is there any food left? I'm starving."
Granny Xu: "Dali is back! I'll give him some hot buns."
Xu Dali agreed and went into the room. Yu Jiajia peeked out the window but didn't hear anything, so she gave up. Shortly after, Yu Songchuan returned.
Yu Jiajia reached out her hand to him: "Have you eaten?"
Yu Songchuan poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down. "I ate. Mom brought me two mixed-grain steamed buns, they were so dry." He sniffed. "They smell so good!"
Yu Jiajia opened the lunchbox: "I saved some for you! Where's Mom?"
Yu Songchuan's eyes lit up when he saw the stir-fried pork and Mapo tofu in the lunchbox. He picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth: "Wow, it smells so good! The food at the neighborhood office is so good! I want to go to the neighborhood office in the future! Mom is squatting outside, watching to see if Xu Dali and Xu Changjin will come out."
He broke off half a steamed bun, ate a small portion of the meat and tofu, and then told Yu Jiajia about his morning experiences. Xu Dali went out around noon and wandered around with his cronies, even smoking a cigarette.
I don't know if he was scouting the location or just showing off his cigarettes.
I didn't meet with any suspicious people.
Xu Changjin went to work and left work as usual. On his way home, he stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two cream popsicles. Yu Songchuan knew nothing about what happened after Xu Changjin went into the workshop, and he couldn't follow him in.
After finishing his meal, Yu Songchuan closed the lunchbox and said, "I'll give the rest to Mom."
Yu Jiajia quickly slung her backpack over her shoulder and prepared to catch up, saying, "Let me see where you are. I'll bring you popsicles later."
Yu Songchuan was moved: "My dear fourth sister. How lucky I am to have become your brother."
The two walked out of the courtyard house side by side and found Cheng Xiuying behind a hidden tree. She was not riding a bicycle.
Yu Songchuan: "Mom, my fourth sister brought us some food. I ate a little at home, so you can have this."
Cheng Xiuying: "I'm not hungry."
She really had no appetite; her mind was completely occupied with bicycles.
Yu Songchuan opened the lunchbox and handed it to Cheng Xiuying: "It's all meat, don't let it spoil by tonight."
Yu Jiajia: "Mom, you need to eat well to have the energy to keep watch!"
Cheng Xiuying really didn't have an appetite, but the meal, with its spicy meat and spicy tofu, looked so delicious, and it couldn't go bad, could it? She said, "So much? Did Jiajia not eat any?"
Just as Yu Jiajia was about to say that she had no appetite, Cheng Xiuying reached out and touched her stomach.
Yu Jiajia almost guiltily sucked in her stomach, but that would have given her away. She said, "I ate a steamed bun! I'm so full. Aunt Zhao gave me a lot of rice. I also drank a bowl of soup."
Cheng Xiuying felt that Sibao was only eating steamed buns and drinking soup, so she saved the meat and vegetables and brought them back for her to eat, saying, "Let's eat meat together."
Yu Jiajia was so full she couldn't eat anymore. "Mom, I'm full, you eat."
"You silly child, don't just think about home, you have to take care of yourself first." Cheng Xiuying finished eating the dishes with the steamed bun, and even used the steamed bun to wipe the soup in the lunchbox clean before finishing it.
Perhaps it was because she ate meat that her mood finally improved.
Yu Jiajia then went and bought three more cream popsicles and brought them over. Each of the three of them had one, which helped them cool off in the summer heat.
Cheng Xiuying truly hated the car thief. Her peaceful life had been ruined by him. She said, "Sibao, go home and rest for a while. We'll wait for you."
Yu Songchuan: "Mom, they're out!"
Xu Dali and his son left the house arm in arm, and Cheng Xiuying pressed Yu Jiajia's hand: "Wait until we go home."
She and Yu Songchuan, one ran into the alley and chased after her from another road, while the other followed at a distance.
Yu Jiajia had no choice but to go home first. She lay down for a while and then went to work. She arrived early this time, just as everyone else had finished their lunch break.
I didn't go to school in the afternoon. Instead, I attended a class at the neighborhood office. Representatives from the supply and marketing cooperative, state-run restaurants, taverns, grain stations, and health clinics all came to teach me first aid techniques. They were to then go back and teach others so that everyone could master them.
Yu Jiajia quickly became familiar with everyone, teaching whatever she knew without holding back, and everyone learned diligently.
In those days, everyone cherished the opportunity to learn. This "Worker-Peasant-Soldier First Aid Method" was related to life and death. Even though others were giving lectures for free, they studied even more diligently and took several pages of notes.
Around 4 p.m., Yu Jiajia left work early. Director Zhao gave Yu Jiajia a red envelope as her allowance for the day, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Jiajia. Don't worry, we'll definitely find the car."
They even escorted Yu Jiajia to the front gate.
After Yu Jiajia left, Director Zhao said, "Jiajia is really good. She doesn't hold back at all, knows a lot, is good at drawing, and is also beautiful. It's a pity that the steel mill snatched her up first."
Yu Jiajia didn't go straight home; she wandered around the streets, making sure to complete her daily good deeds check-in first.
Seeing the pregnant woman bending over to lift something, she quickly went over to help and received [Malted Milk Powder + Ancient Five Animal Exercises *1 (3/3)]
Combine the Five Animal Frolics!
The ancient Five Animal Frolics imitates the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and bird. It combines guiding and breathing exercises, and is said to enable one to leap across rooftops and walls and prolong life.
Yu Jiajia:......
Is it true that people can fly over rooftops and walk on walls?
This set of Five Animal Frolics differs somewhat from the modern version; it is more complex and profound. However, I dare not practice it during this special period.
Is this considered one of the Four Olds?
Then I did two more small things and earned [2 watermelons + Materials Science Theory Elementary 1 (1/10)] and [1 basic cosmetic + Materials Science Theory Elementary 1 (2/10)].
Yu Jiajia thought that materials science theory sounded very advanced, and that it was wonderful that a system where doing good deeds could grant one high-level skills.
Today's check-in is complete. Yu Jiajia found a secluded spot, conjured up a smaller watermelon, and carried it home in a net bag. The watermelon was quite heavy, weighing about three pounds.
I ran into Yu Songyan at the intersection. "Second Brother!"
Yu Songyan: "Jiajia, where did this melon come from?"
Yu Jiajia handed the watermelon to her second brother and whispered, "I got off work early today and wanted to look for our mom. I met an uncle carrying a watermelon over there."
Yu Songyan immediately understood, "How much?"
Yu Jiajia: "Two cents. Uncle said this melon is especially sweet. Everyone is in a bad mood, so eating something sweet will definitely cheer us up."
Yu Songyan thought to himself, who wouldn't want such a well-behaved, beautiful younger sister who is so considerate of her family?
Yu Jiajia: "Second brother, why are you off work so early?"
Yu Songyan shrugged: "That relative of the Liu family is ostracizing me. He won't let me do anything and wants to fire me."
Yu Jiajia was furious: "The Liu family has gone too far!"
Yu Songyan pinched Yu Jiajia's puffed-up little face: "It's okay. With the 'steamed cake' you taught me, not only will I not be able to leave, but I can also become the person in charge of the new production line. That relative of the Liu family will have to call me boss."
Yu Jiajia stopped him from pinching her cheek: "Really?"
Yu Songyan: "Really, I'll also wipe out the Liu family and send them to jail. Would you be happy?"
Yu Jiajia chuckled, "So happy!!! Second brother is so amazing."
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yu Jiajia asked Yu Songyan to wait a moment. She ran off and bought two cream popsicles before running out, saying, "Second Brother, eating sweets makes me happy."
Yu Songyan looked down at the cream popsicle in his hand; his fourth sister had treated him to it.
