Chapter 240: Picked up a life
After being beaten by Muda several times, Qiao Jun started to become a chatterbox.
Seeing Yi Chichi holding a cup of water and drinking water and no longer paying attention to him, he couldn't help asking, "Xiao Yi, do you want a radio ticket?"
"don't want."
She does.
When he came back, Wen Shi prepared a radio, a sewing machine and bicycle tickets.
However, the commune was out of stock and there was no time to go to the county, so the purchase of large items was delayed.
When you go to the public grain distribution office, you can go to the commune to see if there is any. If not, you have to go to the county.
Qiao Jun was quite disappointed, "I was planning to give you one when I got back."
Yi Chi Chi's mouth twitched, "Why did you give me such an expensive thing? If you want to give it to me, give it to your godfather and godmother."
This kid is stupid.
They are not relatives and are not friends. Who are they trying to scare by offering radio tickets or something like that?
Not to mention that she has a ticket, she wouldn't even dare to ask for it if she didn't have one.
Zhang Xiaoqin thought it made sense, and said to Qiao Jun, "Go back and get your godfather a bicycle ticket. He has to either ride a bullock cart or walk to get to the commune. How pitiful."
Qiao Jun nodded and said, "Do it."
It's quite pitiful, my godfather is really too poor.
The house is spacious, much more spacious than his.
Then, Yi Chichi heard the two of them muttering about how their godmother had suffered with her godfather. She felt so amused that she thought it was a good thing that Uncle Yaozi was not at home.
If I heard them say this at home, I would probably kick them out.
Seeing that the two were talking excitedly, she shook her head and got up and walked out. Zhang Xiaoqin shouted, "Chi Chi, where are you going?"
"There's no mint left. I'll go to the water bubble and pick some mint."
"Then come back soon, I'm afraid someone will come to see the doctor."
"knew."
Yi Chichi was also wary of this, so she took a small basket and walked towards the puddle at the speed of a race.
On the way, I met Zhou Qiuyu, who was tanned. She was pulling a small cart and had a torn towel around her neck.
Seeing that she was tired and sweating, Yi Chichi took the kettle from the basket and handed it to her, "Drink some water."
"Thanks."
She stopped the cart and thanked him. She took the kettle and raised her head to drink the water. Her mouth didn't touch the mouth of the kettle, but she drank it a little too quickly. Yi Chichi was afraid that she would choke, "Go slowly."
"Too thirsty."
She drank the water and smiled, "I've finished my water. It's a coincidence that I met you. Otherwise, I would have to go back to the Youth House to get some water."
Yi Chichi took the kettle she handed over and asked in confusion, "Why are you pulling the cart today?"
Zhou Qiuyu was quite helpless. "We are harvesting wheat these days. The wheat has to be chopped and loaded onto trucks. All the men are doing the heavy labor."
Stacking wheat is a strenuous job. In order to transport more at one time, the bundles of wheat will be piled high on the cart.
It is easier to load the wheat onto the truck when it is low, but when it reaches a certain height, it becomes a challenge to the physical strength of the people receiving the wheat, stacking the wheat, and chopping the wheat above and those delivering the wheat below.
Every year's spring planting and autumn harvest can make people exhausted. After they are over, if the family conditions are better and there is enough oil and water to replenish the water, people will feel better.
The conditions are bad, there is not enough oil and water to replenish, and people can't eat enough. They can become skinny and bony. It is really hard.
It's really a suffering.
Zhou Qiuyu had also lost a lot of weight, and Yi Chichi felt very distressed. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Will Xue Jiahuan have dinner with you guys?"
“We never eat together.”
Xue Jiahuan cooks for himself and the food is pretty good. He doesn’t eat fish or meat every day, but he eats it every few days, and the smell is enough to make you dizzy.
Thinking of the braised pork she had last night and the pork belly Comrade Wen brought her today, Zhou Qiuyu swallowed her saliva, "Chi Chi, are you going to the commune these days?"
Yi Chichi opened his mouth to speak but couldn't. He swallowed the words back and changed them to "You want me to help carry things?"
"Please bring some meat. I really can't survive without meat."
Seafood is good, but it doesn't have much oil. They are in urgent need of oil to supplement it.
Otherwise, you will feel hungry no matter how much you eat.
"You know, we won't have time to go to the commune until the autumn harvest is over."
The team leader would not approve leave, so the children were used as laborers and had no time to go to school. If they dared to ask the team leader for leave to go to the commune, they would be scolded.
Yi Chichi knew this well, and nodded when he heard it, "Let me check the time."
This means to agree.
Zhou Qiuyu was delighted and said with a smile, "I'll send your money and tickets tonight."
“No hurry.”
She hummed, pulled the cart and said goodbye.
Yi Chizhi went to the water bubble, picked a bunch of plump and tender mint leaves and brought them back. He boiled a large pot of mint water and poured it into a teacup to let it cool naturally.
"Give me a bowl."
Qiao Jun hopped over on one foot with the help of a crutch, and swallowed his saliva as he looked at the steaming mint water.
Yi Chichi filled a bowl for him and said, "It's hot. Wait until it cools down."
“You should make herbal tea.”
“…I don’t know how to do this.”
She doesn't like drinking herbal tea and has never studied the recipe of herbal tea.
"Can you?"
Qiao Jun was silent. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that.
There are his elder sister-in-law and mother at home, both of whom are good at making herbal tea. As a young man who has only been to the kitchen a few times, he has no idea how to make herbal tea.
Like him, Zhang Xiaoqin had rarely been to the kitchen.
Yi Chi Chi still didn't understand anything. She sighed, "You are from Guangzhou and you can't even make herbal tea. You are a disgrace to the people of Guangzhou. Remember to learn it when you go back."
"...Okay, I'll go back and learn it and send you the recipe."
He instantly became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "Do you want the recipe for salt-baked chicken? Roast goose is also delicious. I see that Kaoshan Village has raised a lot of big geese, which can be used to make roast goose. And..."
"Stop, I don't need anything else except the herbal tea recipe."
Salt-baked chicken requires chicken. She has no idea what pheasant tastes like. No one would be willing to kill and eat domestic chickens. The chicken butt bank is no joke.
Farmers rely on the eggs laid by chickens to supplement their families.
As for the goose...
"The geese are collective and distributed uniformly. There are no extra geese for roast goose."
Besides, roast goose is not as delicious as goose stewed in an iron pot.
Of course, this is according to her taste.
In short, she has no interest in roast goose.
Because of her refusal, Qiao Jun was speechless.
Yi Chichi checked the medicinal powder ground by Zhang Xiaoqin and found it was ground very well. After praising her with satisfaction, he took over the rest of the work.
In the evening, Uncle Yaozi came back with a medicine box on his back. He smelled of blood. She wondered, "Didn't he say he had heatstroke? Why is there blood?"
Uncle Yaozi, who was exhausted, sat down on a chair and ordered Yi Chichi to pour him a glass of water to relieve his thirst. Then he said, "At first, I went to treat heatstroke. When I came back, I met people from the Qingshan Brigade and went to give birth."
Yi Chichi was stunned. "Isn't delivering babies the job of a midwife? Uncle, can you deliver babies?"
"The midwife will deliver the baby, and I will go and help out during the critical moment."
This means worrying about difficult labor.
"What was the result?"
"It went smoothly. It was almost a difficult birth."
