"Are they in the Youth House now?"
Yi Chichi didn't really want to see them, for fear that they would be so engrossed in eating melons that they would forget about their business.
“No.”
Recalling the scene she saw in the morning, Liu Lan was somewhat speechless and said, "The three of them took a bullock cart to the commune."
Very good, I can go back to the Youth League Home with peace of mind.
Liu Lan accompanied her back, and found that Wang Nan and the others were not there. She wondered, "Where are all the people?"
"I'm going to weed."
Yi Chichi suddenly looked helpless, "The wheat seedlings are not growing as fast as the grass."
Nowadays there are no pesticides like herbicides, and there are fewer chemical fertilizers.
Therefore, farmyard manure is still the main method of fertilizing the fields, and weeding and insect control are mainly done manually.
We cannot ignore it either, as it will affect the growth of crops and compete with crops for nutrients, causing the beast tide to get worse.
This also resulted in the team members not having any free time after the spring planting was completed, and they spent the whole day working in the fields and playing with grass.
Liu Lan sighed, "Nothing can be done. I'm used to it."
Yi Chichi glanced at her hands subconsciously, and then reminded her, "Protect your hands, otherwise the silk will get snagged."
Liu Lan hummed, "I know. I used to wash dishes and clothes, but now I am not allowed to do it."
Nowadays, it is rare to raise a girl so pampered, but it is not common.
Thinking about the original owner's experience and comparing it with Liu Lan's living environment, Yi Chi couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner.
The little girl was born into the wrong family. I hope she can have a happy family and a happy life in her next life!
"Hands must be protected."
"Your hand cream is very useful."
She smiled, and Yi Chichi glanced at her and asked jokingly, "Why, do you want it for free?"
"That's not it."
Liu Lan hurriedly shook her head, fearing that Yi Chichi would think that she was taking advantage of her, and explained, "I mean, next time you make hand cream, can you make a bottle for me as well?"
“Lard is hard to deal with.”
Neither refused nor agreed, he just pointed out her difficulties.
Liu Lan understood immediately, "I'll let my eldest brother take care of the lard issue."
Yi Chichi nodded. The eldest brother of the Liu family had little presence in Kaoshantun, but he was a capable man.
It is said that there are connections in the black market in the county commune, so it is not difficult to get some lard.
"be safe."
It would be terrible if we got caught.
Many people who trade in the black market end up losing everything.
Of course, there are also people who make their fortunes by reselling, but they are still a minority.
In life, you should never rely on luck to achieve anything.
"If my brother doesn't show up, he'll find someone else to do it."
Liu Lan was merciless when she complained about her brother. "My mother said that my eldest brother has been cunning since he was a child. He is lucky enough not to let others suffer losses or cheat others. If others want to make him suffer losses or cheat him, it is impossible..."
She talked incessantly, and Yi Chichi wanted to cover his ears.
I really want to say that I don’t want to know whether you brothers are smart or stupid, you are all strangers.
There's really no need to complain to her.
But Liu Lan suddenly changed the subject and said -
"Chi Chi, what do you think of my fifth brother?"
"??? Your fifth brother?"
Yi Chichi blinked, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. Was this guy planning to steal the matchmaker's job like Yu Rutang's mother? "I'm not familiar with him, I don't know him, I don't know."
No matter whether it is true or not, make your attitude clear first.
Probably because he didn't expect her to give this answer, Liu Lan was stunned for a moment before slowly asking, "Have you ever thought about what kind of partner you want to find?"
Yi Chichi looked up at the sky in silence. Oh, Heaven and Earth, this body of hers was only 18 years old at most, why were so many people concerned about her lifelong event?
"I haven't thought about it. I'll talk about it after I'm 24."
Not wanting to continue the topic, she feigned curiosity and asked, "What about you? Have you ever thought about it?"
The corner of Liu Lan's mouth twitched. "What are you thinking about? I have a partner."
"ha?"
Yi Chichi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, "Do you have a partner?"
"Yes, a child marriage."
Liu Lan was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.
Yi Chichi looked up at the sky in silence. After all this time, Liu Lan finally had a boyfriend. Fortunately, they stopped Wu Yongfei at the beginning, otherwise this guy would have really run into them.
I'm afraid that the reputation of the educated youth, who is not good at anything and is the number one troublemaker when eating, will be even worse because of him.
That was a close call.
"What does your partner do? Why have I never seen him before?"
"No, he hasn't been back for three years. He should have some time off this year."
Flying in this era? Suddenly, Yi Chichi thought of the high-standard treatment of the Air Force and the aircrew kitchen for pilots.
"Lanlan, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful."
She grabbed Liu Lan's hand and acted like a good bootlicker.
Liu Lan smiled and said, "Okay, I will never forget you when I become rich."
"terrific."
While chatting and laughing, we arrived at the Youth League Home.
Bai Chen and his colleagues were not here because they were weeding in the fields. The new educated youth had gone to the commune and had not returned yet, so the huge educated youth compound was silent.
Yi Chichi went straight to his door, took out the key, unlocked it and invited Liu Lan to come in and sit down.
"convenient?"
Liu Lan asked politely, and Yi Chichi rolled his eyes, "I already invited you, what's the inconvenience?"
That's true.
So she swaggered into the house.
Then, her eyes were drawn to the embroidery frame at the end of the kang, on which was stretched a half-finished embroidery.
The embroidery is of a kitten, with glass-like eyes that are clear and transparent, and fur all over its body that is so delicate and lifelike that it seems to be moving in the wind. Its tail standing upright tells of the cat's good mood.
Although the kitten's belly has not been embroidered yet, it is obvious that it is a jumping cat with a colorful butterfly above it.
It's obvious that he's catching butterflies.
The composition, artistic conception and even color matching of the entire embroidery are unique.
It makes people feel as if they are in the scene, and they can't help but smile knowingly at the liveliness and cuteness of the kittens.
She took out her own embroidery and compared it with the kitten. It would have been better if she hadn't compared. The more she compared, the more upset she felt.
I couldn't help but mutter softly, "The needlework is different, the embroidery thread is different, and..."
Yi Chi Chi took the change and bills from her cotton-padded jacket pocket, turned around and saw her mumbling in front of the embroidery frame. After two seconds of silence, she quietly came to her side and heard her mutter, "Ah, this gap is so big that it makes me despair."
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched. She had been embroidering for many years, and Liu Lan had only been learning for a short time. There was no gap, so she was not worthy of being an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage enjoying national treatment.
"What kind of needlework is this? How can it be so delicate and lifelike? It feels like it is two completely different needlework methods from random needlework."
“Double-sided embroidery uses many different needle techniques.”
"Um?"
Liu Lan turned her head and looked at her. "Double-sided embroidery?"
"uh-huh!"
Yi Chichi nodded and turned the embroidery frame in a different direction.
"What……"
Before she could utter the word "East and West", Liu Lan stared at the cat head on the embroidery cloth with murderous eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then she said in surprise, "This cat looks like the raccoon dog raised by Uncle Yaozi."
