Chapter 247 It's Not That Easy to Find a Partner
"Aunt, I've finished my homework."
Qin Jiu put down his pen, turned around and asked Yi Chichi, who was working hard in front of the embroidery frame, "Do you want to check it now?"
"Leave it there."
Yi Chichi didn't even raise her head. She was busy now and would wait until the panda ear was embroidered.
"Take a half-hour break and practice calligraphy."
"……good."
He seemed very reluctant.
Yi Chichi raised his eyes and looked over, "Don't want to practice?"
“The break was too short.”
Whose child is like him? He is entrusted with important tasks by teachers at school and has to help take care of more than a dozen classmates who are older than him.
When he returned home, not only did he have to be assigned homework by Master Song and the others, but his aunt also did not slack off at all when it came to his studies.
I assigned him thinking extension exercises, oral training courses, and math Olympiad exercises to practice calligraphy. He is really busy.
Yi Chichi asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Is half an hour of rest time short? Not at all. After practicing calligraphy, today's task is completed.
You can have fun.
However, Qin Jiu had a different idea from her. He pursed his lips and said carefully, "Aunt, Dun Dun and the others and I have made an appointment to have a snowball fight and build a snowman together."
Yi Chichi leaned out of the window and took a look. The wind was cold and the snow was flying. It was hard to go out and play in this weather...
Seeing Qin Jiu's expectant look, she smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, remember to put on your clothes."
"Yeah."
Qin Jiu cheered, grabbed the big cotton-padded jacket and trousers that were warmed on the kang and put them on. Wen's mother turned around and saw him trying to put on his shoes, so she quickly stopped him, "Xiao Jiu, wait a minute."
"What's wrong with grandma?!"
"Put this on."
Wen's mother took out a pair of woolen socks from the small basket next to the sewing machine and handed them over.
Thick wool socks look warm.
Qin Jiu moved his toes, said thank you to the old lady, then took the woolen socks and put them on. Then he put on his shoes and ran towards the door cheering like a wild horse.
Wen's mother got up and followed behind, Yi Chichi had a question mark on his face.
Xiaojiu went out to play snowball fights. What was grandma doing? Upon asking, I found out that she was going to stew meat.
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up, "Stewed braised pork?"
"Stewed Meat."
Mother Wen looked at her and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
"eat!"
Baozi meat is also delicious. As a traditional delicacy in Xuzhou, Baozi meat is famous for being fat but not greasy and having many flavors.
It can also be paired with kelp knots, tiger skin eggs, and small green vegetables as side dishes. The taste is really amazing when paired with rice.
"Mom, get some tiger skin eggs and put some cabbage leaves in them."
"Don't want kelp?"
Wen Shi sent back a lot of kelp, as well as seaweed, dried shrimp, dried fish and so on.
You can put anything in there.
"You can have it or not."
Yi Chichi doesn't like eating kelp very much, and thinks it is dispensable.
Mother Wen nodded and said, "I'll watch and put it."
As she was talking, she walked out of the door. Yi Chichi heard her telling Qin Jiu to just play around nearby and not to go too far.
Qin Jiu's vague response came, and then there was no sound outside.
Seeing this, Yi Chichi stopped paying attention to the movement outside, but took out a silk thread, split it, and after threading it, he entered into an immersed working state again.
Snowflakes were flying outside the window and needle and thread were flying inside the room. As the needle and thread were interlaced, a black ear outline appeared on the originally blank silk.
Then the outline is gradually filled in.
At this moment, the cotton door curtain was lifted, and a biting cold rushed in. Yi Chichi was stimulated to come back to her senses from her immersed work state. She raised her eyes and thought it was Wen's mother who came in. Just as she was about to call her mother, the person who came into her sight made her swallow the name that was about to come out of her mouth, and changed it to -
"Why are you here at this time?"
"Send me shoes."
Wang Nan strode over and handed the bag in his hand to her.
Yi Chizhi didn't rush to answer it, but asked her to sit down. Just as he was about to get up to pour her a cup of hot water to warm her body, Wen's mother came in with a steaming cup.
"Drink some brown sugar water to warm yourself up."
She handed the cup to Wang Nan, and after she took it with both hands, she smiled and said, "You two can chat, I'll get busy."
"Okay, auntie. Thank you, auntie."
Wang Nan thanked her politely and watched Wen's mother leave. She then took a sip of the sweet brown sugar water from the cup and said with a satisfied sigh, "Chi Chi, your mother-in-law is so generous."
"Besides being generous, my mother-in-law is kind, beautiful and elegant."
When it comes to praising her mother-in-law, Yi Chichi is not at all vague. The best decision she made was that after marrying Wen Shi, she did not choose to follow the army, but decided to stay in Kaoshantun.
Wen's mother was really a good person. She was educated, reasonable, open-minded, not feudal, and did not force the baby to have a baby. She was also very diligent and wanted to wash all her underwear for her.
In other words, she insisted on washing her own underwear and socks, otherwise, apart from brushing her teeth and washing her face, she really didn't need to touch water.
When she was sweeping the floor with a broom, she was worried that her hands would become rough and affect her embroidery.
If she really lived in the family quarters with the army, her life might not be as comfortable as it is now.
Wang Nan looked at the happy smile on her face and said with some envy, "Seeing that you are living such a happy life, I want to get married."
Yi Chichi, "??? Do you have a partner?"
"No."
"Find a partner first and then talk about getting married."
The corner of Wang Nan's mouth twitched. It's not that easy to find a partner.
but--
"What do you think of Old White?!"
Yi Chichi looked serious, "Are you interested in Bai Chen?"
Wang Nan hesitated and said, "It's not me who likes Lao Bai, it's Lao Bai who likes me."
As she spoke, she recounted what had happened in detail.
In fact, it is not complicated. To sum it up in a few words, after the autumn harvest, Bai Chen received a letter from his family asking for money.
He said that his second brother was getting married, and the woman's side asked for three turns and one ring, as well as a dowry of two hundred yuan.
As for his second brother, he was determined to marry that girl and would die if he was not allowed to marry her.
Normally, parents with many children at home would not be threatened by others. After all, if one died, there would still be many more. But Bai Chen's second brother was sweet-mouthed and looked like his mother. He had captured his mother's heart and was truly her precious child.
For the sake of her beloved second son, Bai Chen's mother forced the whole family to work together to find a solution.
However, this solution was not a good idea. The whole family could only collect a bicycle and a watch. No one knew where the sewing machine and the radio were, and no one knew where the 200 yuan dowry was either.
So, Bai Chen, who had been forgotten for a long time as if he didn't exist in the Bai family, was remembered.
The Bai family sent a letter asking Bai Chen to find a way to collect 200 yuan and send it back. This is no different from forcing Bai Chen to die.
Although Bai Chen, who had been heartbroken by the Bai family and had long since given up on having any thoughts about them, he still felt sad when he received such a letter unexpectedly.
In the dead of night, squatting next to the toilet and smoking...
"etc,"
Hearing this, Yi Chi couldn't help but interrupt Wang Nan and wondered, "Why is Lao Bai squatting next to the toilet to smoke?"
The front and back yards of the Youth League Home are so big that you can just squat anywhere. Even though the toilet is so smelly and even the smell of smoke cannot be covered, he doesn't mind the discomfort on his nose.
