Chapter 159: No one bothers you?
Yi Chichi hummed, "I'm almost done, I'll go back first, are you guys still going to fish?"
"Get some more."
So Yi Chichi took the fish to the cowshed first.
The people in the village don’t bully the old man and his family, but they won’t get close to them either.
Several of them lived like invisible people. Even during the spring planting and autumn harvest seasons, they worked as a separate group and did not interact with anyone else in the team.
This is what the captain and his men meant, and the old man and his men accepted it well.
What they want now is a stable life. To achieve this stability, they would rather write self-criticisms regularly and have them taken to the commune by the team leader to submit. They are typical people who can bend and stretch.
But on the other hand, no one calls them out for slacking off.
So, when they saw Yi Chichi coming in with a basin of fish, the old man and the others were stunned for a moment before coming over.
"Where did the fish come from?"
"I felt it in the blisters."
She handed the basin with the fish to Old Lady Song, "Grandma Song, please clean it up."
The things in the backpack cannot be given away, they have to be taken back to deal with the people in the Youth League Home.
The old lady took the basin and caught the fish without saying anything. Yi Chichi poured all the fish into the basin. Grandpa hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's enough. You have to save some for yourself."
"It's all in the backpack."
She took down the backpack and took out four slightly larger fish and put them in the basin.
"Eat these first. I'll send some more meat when the captain and the others come back to distribute the meat."
"Take care of yourself first. It's okay as long as we don't starve to death."
"Never mind, just listen to me."
It’s okay as long as they are not starving to death. Everyone is so hungry that their faces are pale and their bodies are thin.
She picked up her grandfather's hand and felt his pulse, but couldn't figure out what was going on. Yi Chi gave up reluctantly, but she had made up her mind that when Uncle Yaozi came back, she would ask Aunt Yaozi to give the old man and the others a comprehensive physical examination.
As for why she didn't look for Uncle Yaozi, it was because Uncle Yaozi's medical skills were better than hers, and the difference between them and his wife was like heaven and earth.
Even a fool would know which one to choose between a barefoot doctor and a famous doctor.
Seeing Old Lady Song carrying the fish to the kitchen, she smiled and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa Song...Uncle Ye, I'm going back first, please be careful."
"Okay, you should be careful too."
The group watched her leave until her figure completely disappeared from their sight, then they turned back to the house to help.
After Yi Chichi returned to the Youth League Home, he also began to clean the fish in a hurry.
The palm-sized fish were easy to clean. I cleaned them one by one without stopping, and as a result, the raccoon that smelled the scent came over.
“Meow…”
The big raccoon, whose eyes lit up at the sight of the fish, swooped in and rubbed against her legs, making eager sounds with its claws.
"Greedy cat."
Yi Chichi picked up a fish for it. The big lizard grabbed it and squatted at her feet, slurping it up.
Then it caught the second fish, and the third, and only after all four fish were eaten did it begin to wash its face and lick its fur contentedly. After completing the whole process, it did not leave, but jumped onto the stool next to Yi Chichi and closed its eyes to rest.
Its tail was still wagging, and its comfortable look made Bai Chen and the others, who came back panting, so jealous that their eyes turned red.
"I feel like being a human is not as comfortable as being a cat like Dali."
Yi Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "You guys are so bored that you even want to eat something with a cat."
Seeing that they were idle, he said, "Come and help me process the fish."
"Where did the fish come from?"
Bai Chen and the others, who realized belatedly that there was a fish, brightened their eyes and came over to help.
"There are fish over there in the grass nest."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Yongfei stood up and ran towards the kitchen. Yi Chichi quickly shouted, "It's not your turn. Almost all the aunts and girls in the team have come out from the entire village."
This means that even if they go there now, they won't be able to catch any fish.
Instantly, Wu Yongfei came back with heavy steps, looking like he had lost his mind, "How come it's gone?"
"Let's eat together."
Yi Chichi pushed the basin in front of him and said, "This is all I have here. Wang Nan and the others will have more later."
What this means is that they will not be short of fish to eat in the short term.
These words comforted their wounded hearts very well.
The few people were no longer disappointed, but started to process the fish happily.
When Wang Nan and the others came back with the fish, wow, the total amount of fish in the Youth League compound weighed more than 60 to 70 kilograms, but it was difficult to handle.
Yi Chichi only brought back slightly larger fish, because the smaller fish would slip out through the cracks in the basket after entering it.
Wang Nan and her friends didn’t have backpacks, but used wooden basins and barrels, which contained both big and small fish.
There are also many fish that look like fry.
These fish were too small to be processed, so under the guidance of Yi Chichi, Wu Yongfei dried them into small dried fish using the method of making dried shrimps.
Then stir-fry it with some peppers and other ingredients. It is appetizing, refreshing and goes well with rice, and everyone is very satisfied with the meal.
The slightly larger fish have also been dried. There is not enough salt to pickle them, so only dried fish can be preserved longer.
That afternoon, Liu Lan came to tell her that her grandfather had made the rack she wanted and asked her when she could go and get it.
Or you can send it to her.
Mu Da had just come back to rest after working non-stop for a few days. After saying hello to her, Yi Chichi went to Liu's house to get the shelf.
On the way, she asked about Liu Lan's marriage.
"Have you set a date?"
"The 2nd of next month."
There is still half a month left. "Will you join the army?"
Zhang Jun is a soldier. His position is not as high as Wen Shi’s, but it is not bad either.
Being stationed in the west of New Zealand is tough.
"No."
Liu Lan said softly, "Brother Jun said that it's okay to visit relatives, but it's better not to follow the army. It's too hard, and he doesn't want me to suffer that much."
At least at home I don’t have to worry about food, clothing and water.
She shuddered at the thought of having to rely on herself for everything and lacking water if she really followed the army.
"So when you get married, will you go to his house or live at home?"
"Home."
Speaking of this topic, Liu Lan smiled as happy as a flower.
"My grandfather and his family wouldn't let me go to the Zhang family, and Brother Jun didn't want me to go either. He said if it really didn't work out, he would ask the team leader to approve a homestead for me to build a house, and when he comes back, I can live in Kaoshan Village as his wife."
Yi Chichi,...why are these two so generous?
To marry into the wife's family is as easy as eating and drinking.
"Good."
She didn't show it on her face, she was complaining in her heart, "You have a good family and a good revolutionary partner, your life will get better and better."
"It has to be."
She smiled sweetly, and based on the principle that her best sister should also be happy if she was happy, she said with a smile, "Chi Chi, you are almost 19, it's time to find a partner."
“…No rush.”
"How about letting my brother in the army introduce you to a fellow soldier? We can be military wives together?"
"Not interested."
Yi Chi Chi decisively refused. Seeing that she was still trying to persuade him, he pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter? My lack of a partner bothers you, right?!"
"No, I'm not. I just want you to be happy too."
Liu Lan hurriedly explained, and Yi Chichi smiled, "Lesbians' happiness does not necessarily depend on marriage."
She finds a partner and agrees to get married, it must be because the man is what she wants.
But it's too difficult.
Most men of this era are chauvinistic, and many of them commit domestic violence against women.
The general environment thinks this is normal.
In this situation, getting married and having children is irresponsible towards one's own life.
