Chapter 143 Food Poisoning
However, reform and opening up will not come in a short time.
She still had to endure for a few more days.
Just endure it.
After chatting with the old man for a few more words, she said goodbye and left.
As soon as the door of the team doctor's office opened, Liu Xiaocao, with a rosy face, came in impatiently, holding a light bag in her hand.
Before Yi Chichi could say anything, she handed the bundle to him with a smile on her face, "Chichi, I need your help!"
"you say."
"Help me rush out a dress for my wedding day."
As she spoke, she opened the bundle, revealing a piece of red material.
Yi Chichi picked it up and looked at it. It was cotton silk.
"Come from Shanghai?"
Due to the production volume nowadays, cotton silk is only available in Shanghai and surrounding cities, and it is extremely difficult to get it in other places.
"Um."
Liu Xiaocao's eyes were tinged with shyness, "Brother Ping'an asked someone to bring it back."
Yi Chichi's eyes suddenly widened. Qian Ping'an was capable of this? "Live well, and your life will get better and better in the future."
"Yes."
In the following time, the two discussed the style and size of the clothes.
Liu Xiaocao wanted a braided top that reached her calf and had a round neckline similar to a doll's collar.
Yi Chi Chi decisively refused, "I can't do it."
"Ah? You don't know how to brag?"
"It's not that. It's that there's not enough fabric."
She detailed how much fabric was needed for the calf-length skirt and how much fabric was needed for the top.
Then he gave the final summary, "If you make a top, I can make you a small vest with the remaining fabric, but it's really not possible to make a braid."
Liu Xiaocao suddenly realized, "Then make a top."
There is no way because there is not enough fabric, so I can only make braid later.
Yi Chichi nodded, and after deciding on the style with her, he measured her size.
After everything was done, Liu Xiaocao felt in his pocket and took out a stack of bills, "Chi Chi, how much is the labor fee?"
"Give me two pieces. If you have eggs, you can use them as payment."
In fact, grains would be fine, regardless of rice, wheat, soybeans, peanuts, etc., but Liu Xiaocao doesn't have that.
She had to borrow food rations from the production team because she was a household registered separately.
She did have chickens. She secretly raised a few of them in the valley. In fact, Aunt Ma and the others knew about it, but no one told anyone.
Aunt Ma and her family had a simple idea: the child was suffering too much and they were poor, so they couldn't help much and so they could only turn a blind eye.
This is why Liu Xiaocao can raise chickens secretly.
Otherwise, he would have been reported long ago!
The reason why Yi Chichi knew that she was secretly raising chickens was that when she went to the valley to dig herbs, she ran into Liu Xiaocao watching the chickens and picking up eggs.
The scene was a bit awkward.
However, Yi Chichi is very shameless, while Liu Xiaocao seems to be in a desperate mood.
One said, "I will keep my mouth shut," and the other said, "If you want to report it, just go ahead." At the same time, they looked at each other in surprise, and finally smiled at each other and the matter was over.
Therefore, when Liu Xiaocao heard that Yi Chichi was planning to take her eggs, she was speechless, "I just saved up 20 eggs and you're already thinking about them!"
"well!"
Yi Chichi sighed, "I'm short of oil and water, and I'm greedy. I can't get meat, so I can only use eggs to satisfy my craving."
"Okay, I'll give you two pounds of eggs and 90 cents, is that okay with you?"
The purchasing station buys eggs at a price of 0.55 per pound, which is about eight or nine eggs. She can still have a few left out of two pounds to give to Brother Ping'an to nourish his body.
He considered everything very carefully, except himself.
Yi Chichi nodded, "Okay."
Today is the 1st, and there are still four days until her wedding.
"Come over on the evening of the 5th to get your clothes."
"good."
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiaocao came like a thief, carrying eggs.
"Chichi, the eggs you wanted."
"Thank you very much."
She took it happily. Qin Jiu, who had just returned from the cowshed, was taking a bath in the yard.
The weather is hot now, and the water will dry out easily during the day. Then add some hot water and the children will enjoy bathing.
Dali squatted on Uncle Yaozi's recliner, looking at Qin Jiu with burning eyes, his posture straight, as if ready to save people.
It meows from time to time.
Hearing the noise coming from the backyard, Liu Xiaocao wondered, "Is the raccoon playing in the water?"
Yi Chichi couldn't possibly tell her that Qin Jiu was taking a shower, so he could only perfunctorily answer, "I don't know, but it's probably true."
Not wanting to continue this topic, she said softly, "Xiao Cao, I want to ask you something. Do you know anyone who has fine grains?"
"You want to change to fine food?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I want to switch to some fine food to nourish my stomach."
She covered her stomach with her hands, her brows slightly furrowed with an uncomfortable look.
Liu Xiaocao immediately looked sympathetic, "Your stomach is really not in good condition, give yourself some medicine, at least you won't feel so bad."
“It’s just a temporary solution, not a permanent one!”
That's true.
"As for fine grains..."
She thought for a while, "Lan Lan's family should have some, and then there's the captain's family, and Uncle Liu and his family. These families asked for more fine grains last year. I don't know if they still have some, you have to ask them yourself."
That's all we can do.
After seeing Liu Xiaocao off, she closed the door and started making clothes by the light of a flashlight.
She cut the fabric in her free afternoon.
Therefore, it can be sewn directly.
Qin Jiu, who had just finished taking a bath, went into the house with Dali and saw her sitting under the light sewing clothes. The man and the cat came over.
"Aunt, sewing at night is bad for your eyes."
The big cat meowed, as if agreeing with the child's words.
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "You didn't come forward. I have nothing to do, so I'll sew two stitches."
As she spoke, she put her things away.
"Auntie won't sew anymore. Go to bed quickly because you have to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, Auntie, you should go to bed early too. You can leave your homework for the daytime. I'll correct it when I get back from school."
At this point, he warned like a little adult, "Don't do needlework secretly, it's really bad for your eyes."
Yi Chichi,...does she have a bad reputation? Why does the little brat think that she will be disobedient and work secretly?
"Got it, little housekeeper. Go to bed quickly. Auntie has taken a bath and is asleep."
She pushed Qin Jiu into the room and pressed him on the bed, and waited until the little kid closed his eyes before leaving.
Dali didn't leave, but lay beside him.
Probably because it was used to sleeping with Uncle Yaozi, the cat didn't treat itself as an outsider at all. It lay on the ground with its legs spread out, and one of its hind legs was resting on Qin Jiu's leg.
Looking at the cat and the man sleeping, Yi Chichi left with peace of mind.
When she came back again, Qin Jiu was already asleep. She didn't know whether Dali was asleep or not, but his eyes were closed.
Yi Chichi took the pillowcase and covered Qin Jiu's stomach, then went back to the room to sleep.
A good night's sleep...bullshit.
At around two o'clock in the middle of the night, Liu Chen's child suffered from food poisoning and vomiting and diarrhea. Yi Chichi was woken up by his father and rushed to the hospital with a medicine box.
Then, as if she had disturbed a nest of patients, she had just come out of Liu Chen's house and was called to the director of the women's department's house to see her youngest son.
Same with food poisoning.
