Chapter 299: Stubborn Donkey
"By the way, how long does it take you to embroider such a large piece?"
"More than a year."
Ji Jian said "oh" and didn't ask how much it cost. She knew what to do.
The two chatted idly until Ji Jian started to feel sleepy and went back to sleep, and Yi Chichi finally had some peace and quiet.
It was around six in the afternoon when Wen Shi got home from get off work.
Yi Chichi, who was busy working in front of the embroidery frame, didn't notice his return at all. It was not until the aroma of food filled her nostrils that she came back to her senses from her immersed work state.
"When did you come back?"
"Almost an hour."
Wen Shi put the boiled shrimp on the table. Seeing that she was twisting her neck, he said attentively, "Don't move. I'll massage it for you."
Before he finished speaking, he jumped behind her like lightning and placed his big hand on her shoulder.
When he was pinched, Yi Chichi let out a scream, which frightened him so much that his whole body shuddered.
"pain?"
"Be gentle."
Oh my god, this hand is really heavy. I feel like my bones are about to be crushed.
When I heard it, "..."
Wen Shi was as careful as embroidery, "What now?"
"Okay, hold on."
"OK."
Then, Wen Shi began to do his massage work diligently.
Five minutes later, Yi Chichi, feeling that the bones in his upper body had been loosened, let out a long sigh and called for a stop.
"Still sour?"
“Comfortable!”
Although the bones that are stronger will hurt at first, the pain will disappear once you master the strength and will be replaced by ease.
"Your massage technique is ready to be mastered."
Wen Shi's eyebrows curved, "It's all because of my wife's good teaching."
"But wife, you really don't have to work hard."
Yi Chichi sat down with his bowl and was about to eat. Hearing the voice, he looked up at him and said, "I should be fine."
"It's far from it. Before, when I stretched the muscles of the new recruits, they cried and screamed. That was really hard."
“You…”
Glancing at Yi Chizhi's arms and legs, he shook his head and said, "I didn't even dare to use any strength."
This statement is irrefutable.
Compared with the warriors, she really couldn't compare.
"I won't join the army. I don't want to suffer this."
That's true.
Wen Shi peeled a shrimp for her and asked, "How are you feeling at home today?!"
"Good."
Yi Chichi told him about her daily life. Wen Shi listened carefully and made comments from time to time. Until she mentioned that the Tu family’s house was emptied, he sighed, "What a useless thing."
This is a rhythm with inside information.
"What's going on?"
As soon as she said this, she realized something was wrong and quickly added, "Just pretend you didn't hear what I can't say."
"There's nothing I can't say."
Not everything needs to be kept secret, and the Tu couple don’t have the ability to do so.
Even if he doesn't say it, the gossip will be all over the place tomorrow.
"Tu Shaojun stole things from the team."
Yang Qing's melon is really delicious.
"What did you take?"
"Seven sets of clothes, six pairs of shoes... and 20 towels."
Yi Chichi had a question mark on his face, "All these together don't amount to much, right?!"
“It’s not a question of money.”
Wen Shi reluctantly explained, "This is a serious violation of discipline."
That's right.
She asked curiously, "Did he really sell those things?"
“I didn’t have time to sell it.”
Yang Qing discovered it just in time, leaving Tu Shaojun no chance to take action.
“I’ve sold it before.”
Sold quite a few.
Thinking of the reason why Tu Shaojun chose this path, he said with emotion, "I should marry a virtuous wife. I am lucky to marry you."
If you marry a wife like Bao Xiaohua who has a pretty face but is incompetent at anything and is always asking for money and tickets, and the man is not in a clear mind, both of them will be doomed.
Yi Chichi was very proud, "I can make money, it won't be a problem to support you, you don't need to worry about money, just work hard on your career, tell me when you need money, don't make any mistakes."
The more he spoke, the more serious he became, and he didn't forget to threaten, "I'm telling you, if you make a mistake, don't blame me for not wanting you."
"No, I don't have much money to spend."
It is impossible to ruin your future for such a small profit.
Apart from his mother and wife, his favorite is his motherland.
"I will be supported by my wife in the future."
"Um."
Yi Chichi had no objection. As a reward, she dug up a shrimp and fed it to him. "Did Mom reply to the telegram?"
"I'll tell you to buy the ticket and let her know so she can ask the captain to pick you up on a tractor."
Things have been improved a lot. In the past, the captain always asked Uncle Liu to pick her up in a ox cart or horse carriage.
"I thought it was Uncle Liu's donkey cart this time!"
Wen Shi was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. He couldn't help laughing, "Then don't worry, even if you don't drive a tractor, you can't use a donkey cart."
Donkeys are creatures that can make people angry to death when they get stubborn.
"I went home to visit my family before, and my grandfather picked me up on a donkey cart. But the donkey refused to move halfway, so my grandfather and I struggled until dark before we got home."
The donkey was so stubborn that it almost asked them to carry it back.
Yi Chichi knew this, "The donkey is gone, and the current donkey is another one."
"Too stubborn, but you have to give up."
You can't rely on them. If you keep them, they will serve you like ancestors. It's useless even if the master is willing to raise them. People like Uncle Ma who raise livestock will not be willing.
"Horses and cows are more reliable."
He boasted complacently, "As hard-working as I am."
Yi Chichi was helpless, "You can't compare with anyone else, why do you want to compare yourself with cattle and horses?"
That's true.
"Then don't compare yourself with them. I'm happier than Xiaoliu and the others."
At this point, the smile on his face fell, and his eyes kept looking towards Yi Chichi. Yi Chichi, who had originally wanted to ask who Xiao Liu was, saw his look and peeled another shrimp to feed him.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't act like a little wife."
"Wife, I received a letter from Xiao Ba today. He wants to borrow some money and tickets."
"He's in trouble?"
"have."
Wen Shi described Xiao Ba's situation in detail. Xiao Ba was a comrade-in-arms of Wen Shi's former unit. They had fought on the battlefield together and had a life-and-death friendship.
Compared to Wen Shi who was lucky enough to survive the battlefield intact, Xiao Ba was not so lucky.
A soldier who retired due to disability.
Xiao Ba’s hometown is in a poor county in the mountainous area. It was not until 10 years later that it got rid of the label of a poor county.
This era will only make people poorer and more miserable.
Coincidentally, his wife was pregnant. The pregnancy did not look good, but the child was strong and took root firmly in his mother's belly even though the mother was malnourished.
Now that I am about to give birth, I consulted a midwife, who was not sure about the baby and suggested that I go to the hospital.
However, going to the hospital costs money, and buying nutritional supplements also requires tickets. It is obviously unreliable to expect the soybean meals prescribed by the hospital to supplement the nutrition of the mother.
Xiao Ba was worried. This tough man, despite his injury, bowed his head for the first time to seek help from his comrades for the sake of his wife and children.
After listening to it, Yi Chichi asked, "Did I write to you?"
"No, I wrote to several of them, but I sent telegrams to ask them, and each one was poorer than the other. I couldn't help them, so I could only save some from my own rations and send them to them."
