Chapter 111: Courageous
Yi Chichi looked around and didn't find anything wrong.
She humbly asked for advice, "Aunt, just tell me what's going on!"
"You're going the wrong way, poor girl."
Aunt Ma looked helpless and said, "This is the way to the forest farm."
Yi Chichi's eyes suddenly widened. What the hell? "I," she pointed at herself, incredulous, "did I take the wrong road?"
Aunt Ma nodded, it was obvious.
"Impossible. I took the same route I took to the county last time."
"You took a car last time."
Aunt Ma retorted sharply, "Are you sure you are going in the right direction?"
"Okay, I'll turn east directly from the intersection."
Yi Chichi was very confident.
Aunt Ma wanted to say something but stopped, and then she opened her mouth to organize her words, and uttered a sentence:
"Chi, this is South."
Wow, this girl has an excellent sense of direction, she can mistake the south for the east.
This time it was Yi Chichi's turn to widen his eyes, "South, South?"
No, in her original world, she couldn't tell directions and could only look at the sun. How could she still have this problem in the 1970s?
She thought it was healed a long time ago.
So the thief confidently turned here along the intersection.
Turning back to look at the way she came, she was silent for two seconds before she smiled awkwardly and said, "Auntie, shall we go back now?"
"Go back, but..."
"What?"
"You take the car and I'll ride. I'm afraid if I keep letting you ride, you'll take me deep into the mountains and forests."
Yi Chichi was speechless and could only give up on becoming the woman who controlled the steering wheel and become a person who only enjoyed without giving anything in return.
Auntie Ma, who regained control of the handlebars and won the throne of the seat, was full of pride and asked, "Are you seated properly?"
"alright."
"Set off."
With a step on the pedal, the car rushed out.
Yi Chichi sat on the back seat and watched the scenery passing by, silently sighing in his heart that Aunt Ma was indeed a talented person to be able to ride a 28-bar bicycle at such a speed.
It's just a pity for her butt. Once she reaches her destination, she will probably have difficulty walking.
It's not to this extent, but it's not much better either.
"arrive."
At the gate of the Red Sun Machinery Factory’s staff quarters, Aunt Ma stopped the car by supporting herself with her feet.
Yi Chichi got out of the car and felt that his lower body had been shaken to the point of losing consciousness.
"Come on, let's go upstairs."
As soon as the bicycle frame was opened, Aunt Ma took the bags tied next to the frame and the bags on both sides of the handlebars, and called Yi Chichi to follow.
She said "oh", and slowly followed with her slightly stiff legs, carrying the clothes, the equipment for altering the clothes, and the pine nuts and black fungus that she brought to Aunt Du in the department store.
Aunt Ma took big steps, walking like a dragon or a tiger, taking two steps at a time, and rushed up at a very fast speed.
Yi Chizhi didn't shout and climbed the stairs slowly. In a blink of an eye, Aunt Ma disappeared from her sight, and appeared again after a few seconds.
"Why are you so slow?"
She poked her head out from the stairs with a look of disgust.
Yi Chichi smiled bitterly, "I'm numb."
This answer was a little unexpected to Aunt Ma. She was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing, "I'll get you a cushion when I get home."
This one works too.
Three minutes later, the two appeared at the Yu family who lived on the third floor.
Yu Rutang was at home. It seemed that he had just returned, and his face still showed fatigue from the long journey.
Hearing the knock on the door, she ran to open it, and saw Aunt Ma and Yi Chichi, smiling, "Aunt, Comrade Yi, please come in and sit down."
"Hello, Comrade Yu."
Yi Chichi was all smiles. This was her God of Wealth. After the clothes inspection was completed today, she would receive a huge sum of money.
Happy ing~~~ Yi Chichi, who is absolutely confident in his craftsmanship, is not worried at all that Yu Rutang will not be satisfied.
Therefore, after entering the house and being introduced to Yu's father and mother, Yi Chichi extended a sincere invitation to Yu Rutang amid the expectant gazes of the whole family.
"Comrade Yu, let's go try on some clothes."
“Give it a try!”
Yu Rutang, who had rushed back specially, was full of expectations for Yi Chichi's craftsmanship. She had always used the handkerchief embroidered with furry bees, because the bees were so exquisitely embroidered and so lifelike that when her boyfriend found out, he thought she would be stung and ran to beat the bees.
She couldn't imagine how beautiful the design would be when it turned into a real thing before her eyes.
Therefore, as soon as Yi Chichi invited her, she quickly pulled Yi Chichi up and said, "Aunt, you chat with my parents first. Chichi and I will go try on clothes."
"Okay, go ahead."
The Yu family has only one daughter, Yu Rutang. As long as their daughter is happy, they as parents will be happy too.
Aunt Ma felt similarly.
Seeing her smiling face and eager look, the three of them watched the two young girls leave with a smile.
As soon as the door closed, Yu's mother turned around and asked Aunt Ma, "Sister, is this girl reliable?"
“Must be reliable!”
Aunt Ma said, "You are relieved," Yi Zhiqing is not good at farm work, but he is good at sewing and embroidering clothes for others."
"She's very brave."
Father Yu smiled and continued, but Aunt Ma didn't understand and asked blankly, "Why are you so brave?"
"To dare to embroider and take on jobs during this period is really courageous."
Aunt Ma understood this time and was speechless.
"I don't think she's brave, it's you, brother-in-law, who's not very smart."
"??? My brain isn't working well?"
Father Yu couldn't believe it. What had he done to deserve such an evaluation from his eldest sister?
"Of course."
Yu's mother didn't help him either. She reminded him softly, "Don't forget what your elder brother does. Besides, in the countryside, everyone makes their own clothes and shoes. The general environment doesn't allow for embroidery, let alone embroidering insoles."
Anyway, it can't be seen once the shoes are worn, and it is even more impossible for the little red generals to take off people's shoes for inspection.
"And the most important point is that this girl took advantage of Tangtang, or the status of Tangtang's husband's family, and took this job for the sake of my eldest sister."
Otherwise, let alone three hundred yuan, I'm afraid this girl won't accept even if it's three thousand.
Father Yu looked at Mother Yu and found her bewildered. He sighed. What was good about his sister-in-law was that she had a narrow vision and her brain didn't work fast enough.
"Sister, did you tell her about Tangtang and Xiaotao?"
"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Ma denied it three times, "I have nothing to do, why would I tell her this? I just told her that Tangtang is getting married and I want to find a skilled craftsman to make clothes for her."
"Then why does she ask such a high price?"
At this time, Yu Rutang was also curious about this question.
She opened her hands, her whole body stiff, and tried to ignore the hand that was working on her chest. With a face that looked like it was smoking, she looked straight at the door and said, "Chi Chi, can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
Yi Chichi was trying to adjust her fierce look, and he didn't even raise his head when he heard the voice.
"You offer such a high price, aren't you afraid that I won't agree?"
Yi Chichi paused as he stretched out his hand to take the skirt, then smiled at her with curved lips, "I'm confident that you will agree."
Yu Rutang frowned, "What's the reason?"
"In this era, it's not easy for someone to take out a soft silk gauze and let you wear it as a wedding dress."
Yu Rutang,...after all this time, it was the fabric she took away that gave away the secret.
