Chapter 157 Chicken Blood Vine
“You, you…”
Her face turned red with shame, and she managed to speak haltingly, "I haven't proposed marriage yet."
"Tomorrow."
Then the man asked her, "What do you think?"
Yi Chichi was itching to applaud, this straight ball was beautifully hit.
Qin Jiu's mind was filled with questions. Why did this uncle ask Aunt Liu Lan when he was going to propose marriage? Could it be that his target was Aunt Liu Lan?
Just when he was about to ask Yi Chichi, he saw Liu Lan snorted, "You haven't prepared anything yet, and tomorrow, a few days later."
The man thought it made sense and humbly asked, "Which day do you think is good?"
Liu Lan thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe five days later. Let my dad inform my brother and the others first."
Liulan has many brothers, some of them are farmers in the village, and some of them work in the factory.
As the only daughter of the Liu family and a much-loved one at that, it is impossible for her to agree to the marriage proposal unless all family members are present.
So the man nodded and said yes.
Yi Chichi touched his pocket. Before, Liu Xiaocao got married, and now Liu Lan is getting married. Who will be the next girl to get married in Kaoshantun?
With such doubts, the movie began.
Tunnel Warfare is an old movie. I have seen it in the original world, but my memory of it is a bit fuzzy. Rewatching it again, especially in this era with a different spirit, the feeling is very different.
The 1960s and 1970s were a very magical era, with many gentlemen and many villains.
Liu Lan's partner is a typical gentleman. At the beginning of the movie, he becomes mute and does not make any unusual moves throughout the whole movie.
He didn't say anything, but he got up and went out in the middle of the meeting.
Yi Chichi thought he was going to the bathroom, but he didn't expect that he was going to buy soda and melon seeds for Liu Lan.
Then, in the second half of the movie, Yi Chichi heard continuous clicking and slurping sounds.
Liu Lan's attention was not on the movie, but on the young man.
After the movie ended, the lights turned on, but Yi Chi was not in a hurry to get up and leave. Instead, he prepared to wait until Liu Lan and the others left before going out.
It's not appropriate for a young couple to be a third wheel.
I was also worried that Liu Lan would be embarrassed.
It was a good plan, but when Liu Lan saw her when she stood up, her eyes widened in shock.
"Late?"
Oops, I've been discovered.
She smiled awkwardly and waved her claws at Liu Lan, "Lan Lan."
"…You, when did you and Xiao Jiu come?"
"I came before it started."
Liu Lan suddenly felt hopeless, which meant that their conversation was heard clearly.
"Would you like to introduce yourself?"
The young man noticed her embarrassment and took the initiative to change the subject and her thoughts.
Liu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Her brother Jun was indeed a man with good eyesight.
After giving her future fiancé an appreciative look, she introduced the two parties.
Upon learning that Yi Chichi was an educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields, and that he was a good friend of Liu Lan, Zhang Jun smiled on his hard face, "Comrade Yi, thank you for taking care of my Xiaolan!"
Is this my home? Yi Chichi sighed in his heart, a typical example of loving someone and loving his dog.
Good.
Better than that terrifyingly possessive man.
"You're welcome. She helps me a lot."
Worried about disturbing them, she raised her wrist to check the time, "Xiao Jiu and I are going to check if Gongliang has been paid. Do you want to come with us?"
Liu Lan was immediately embarrassed, "Comrade Zhang hasn't eaten yet, we want to go eat first."
"Then hurry up, we'll leave first."
After waving to the two of them, Yi Chichi led Qin Jiu away.
Zhang Jun watched the two walk away and whispered, "How about going to a friend's house for dinner?"
Liu Lan looked at him, "Do I know him?"
"I know you, Dalong."
"good."
There is nothing to be afraid of acquaintances.
So, the two of them left the cinema and went straight to Dalong's house.
At this time, Yi Chichi and the others arrived at the meat station.
There was no meat left at this point, but there were bone sticks and half a piece of pork liver.
The big bone was shaved clean, but Yi Chichi did not dislike it. He used two taels of meat coupons, two taels of national food coupons and thirty cents to buy the whole bone stick and the liver.
"Bone without meat."
Qin Jiu couldn't understand why she bought the bone meat sticks, so he reminded her softly as they left the meat station.
Yi Chichi responded, "There is bone marrow."
It was very difficult to buy meat during this period, so the bones were used to stew sauerkraut, which at least provided some oil.
It's okay to suck out the bone marrow inside and fool your stomach.
"And pork liver."
Qin Jiu remained silent.
When they arrived at the grain station, the team leader and his men were still queuing, and there were two production teams in front of them waiting to pay their grain taxes.
"When will this turn come?"
She sighed.
The captain, who was smoking a pipe, said with a smile, "It's night time. You and Xiaojiu shouldn't wait any longer. Take my car and go back with Dongmei and the others."
"good."
After saying hello to Uncle Yaozi, Yi Chichi took Qin Jiu to get on the bus.
The ox cart driven by Uncle Liu was at the intersection. Liu Dongmei and the others had arrived, but Aunt Niu and the others who had first gone to the purchasing station to sell eggs and then to the supply and marketing cooperative had not returned yet.
So, we have to wait.
"Chichi, what did you buy?"
Seeing that her backpack was full, Big Mouth stretched his neck to look inside.
Yi Chichi smiled and moved the backpack to another position, "I bought a few big bone sticks, and the rest are for Uncle Yaozi."
Da Zui's attention was successfully diverted, "Why doesn't he ask his wife to help take care of the baby?"
"Are you stupid? Yaozi's wife works in the hospital and only comes home once every few days. Do you think it's convenient to bring her things?"
Worried that she might say something inappropriate, Uncle Liu took over the conversation in a deep voice.
Big Mouth just laughed and said, "I was just saying it casually."
Knowing her personality, Uncle Liu didn't bother to pay attention to her. He turned around and talked to Yi Chichi about medicinal herbs.
"There seems to be chicken blood vines on the hillside of Beishan Mountain."
"??? Are you sure it's chicken blood vine?"
Millettia reticulata is a good thing. Its main functions are to promote blood circulation, replenish blood, regulate menstruation and relieve pain, and relax muscles and tendons.
However, the production areas of Millettia reticulata are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places.
I've never heard of chicken blood vine in Northeast China.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu hesitated and said, "Should, I think so. I remember it looked like that."
Hearing the old man's not very confident words, Yi Chichi smiled and said, "I know. I'll tell Uncle Yaozi tomorrow."
Reason told her that there was a 90% chance that the old man had made a mistake.
Uncle Yaozi goes up the mountain to collect herbs every now and then, and he knows where the good stuff is.
If there really is chicken blood vine, it is impossible to miss it.
After returning, Yi Chichi took out his own things, and then took out the things he bought for Uncle Yaozi, and then handed the backpack to Qin Jiu, "Can you go back by yourself?"
"I can!"
The child puffed out his fleshy little chest and said proudly, "Auntie, I'm already a big kid."
Anyone who is not an adult is just a kid in Yi Chichi's eyes.
But she didn't want to dampen the child's confidence, so she hummed and said solemnly, "Okay, big kid, be careful on the way back."
