Chapter 304: Even during the confinement period
Facts have proved that Comrade Lao He and the old village chief of Luojia Village are real capable people.
The typhoon forecast was so accurate, except for the timing deviation.
Old He said the typhoon would come in the next few days, and the old village chief explained it would be two days later. In fact, the weather started to change around three in the morning.
There was a violent storm and the branches and leaves of the trees outside the house were rustling.
The heavy rain fell from the sky, causing the originally hot and humid temperature to drop and become cooler.
Yi Chichi was awakened from a sound dream and found a dark shadow moving beside the bed. "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Wen Shi, who was also awakened to find that the typhoon had come early, was getting dressed. He turned on the light when he heard the voice behind him, then came to the bed and leaned over to kiss her, "I'm sorry, my wife, the typhoon came early, I have to go back to the group."
Yi Chichi glanced at the waves on the window caused by the rain and asked, "Let's go now?"
"Yes, Lao Qi and the others got up too."
She pricked up her ears to listen, but the sound of the wind and rain was too loud and it was lonely.
So he lifted the quilt, took out his clothes and put them on, "I'll take you there."
Wen Shi opened his mouth to refuse, but Yi didn't give him a chance to say no, "Hurry up, I'll come back to sleep after you leave."
As she spoke, she went out to get him a raincoat.
There were no raincoats, only straw raincoats and bamboo hats. Raincoats require plastic and rubber. With my country's current industrial level and the production of rubber and plastic, it is not possible to achieve large-scale production.
Nowadays, many people don’t even have an umbrella at home, and raincoats and rain boots are limited edition products. Even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to get them.
Therefore, Wen Shi went out wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
The rain was really heavy. The continuous rain and fog blurred the vision. The scenery in the yard was not visible and there was no chance of seeing farther.
With a creak, the door to the next yard opened.
Then a flashlight beam shone over, and Lin Qiuping asked, "Wen Shi, are you okay?"
"alright."
Wen Shi responded, opened his arms and hugged Yi Chichi, "Wife, I don't have time to take care of you today. Can you go to the cafeteria to eat by yourself?"
Negotiative tone.
"Okay."
Yi Chichi patted him soothingly and said, "Work with peace of mind, remember to take good care of yourself and be safe."
"Okay, daughter-in-law, I'll obey you."
Before he could finish his words, Lao Qi and the others started urging him.
“Here I come.”
Wen Shi let go of his hand, looked at Yi Chichi deeply, turned around and walked out of the door, stepping on the puddles in the yard.
The doors of every household were open, and the women stood at the door and watched their men leave until the flashlight completely disappeared from their sight, and then they went back into the house.
But no one got a good rest as the wind and rain were too strong. The men at home were very busy because of their jobs, and they couldn't completely let go of their worries until they returned home safely.
"I haven't been home for two days. I don't know what the situation is like for Lao Lin and the others now."
Ji Jian poked at the insole of her shoe with a worried look on her face.
Yi Chichi was sitting in front of the embroidery frame, sewing quickly. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the voice and said, "No news is good news."
That was true, but seeing that she looked as usual while embroidering, Ji Jian wondered, "Aren't you worried about Comrade Wen from your family?"
"Who said I wasn't worried?"
Yi Chichi turned his head to look at her and pointed at his eyes, "Look, from the time he came until now, I haven't slept well for three nights."
She had a fair complexion, and because she hadn't slept well for three nights in a row, there was a faint blue color under her eyes, making her look a little more haggard.
Ji Jian sighed when he saw you, "Fortunately Comrade Wen is not at home, otherwise he would be heartbroken to see you like this."
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "You make it sound like your comrade Lin doesn't care about you."
As she spoke, she remembered something, "Did you have a cramp last night?"
"How do you know?"
Ji Jian didn't answer but asked instead, very surprised.
"I heard a sound."
Glancing at her belly, Yi Chichi said with some concern, "Why don't you sleep with me tonight?"
With such a big belly, I feel really worried when no one is taking care of me at night.
Ji Jian opened his mouth to refuse, but then he thought about how he had to go to the toilet last night due to the urge to pee, and ended up with a leg cramp and looked miserable. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
The words that came to my mouth were changed to——
"Will it be troublesome for you?"
"What's the trouble? Your safety is the most important thing now."
If Ji Jian wasn't a pregnant woman with a big belly, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
But she is a pregnant woman, and her husband is out doing disaster relief, so she has to take care of herself alone.
"If you feel guilty, when I get pregnant, you can take care of me for a night."
“This is fine.”
Ji Jian agreed immediately, "I can even give you confinement care when the time comes."
"I have my mother-in-law's."
My mother-in-law is a very nice woman, and it is impossible for me to treat her badly during the confinement period.
Ji Jian smiled and said, "It's troublesome to be in confinement after childbirth. Your mother-in-law may not be able to handle it. I will come to help you when the time comes."
"Then it's settled."
A little after five in the afternoon, Mrs. Qi and her friends got home from get off work.
Yi Chichi looked at the time and said, "I'll go get some food. What do you want to eat?"
Due to poor health, Ji Jian did not cook for the past few days and ate in the cafeteria with Yi Chichi.
Because her belly was too big and there was so much rain that the land was muddy, Yi Chichi was responsible for serving her meals because he was worried that she would fall.
Hearing her words, Ji Jian smacked his lips and said, "I want spicy food. The spicier the better."
This request is a bit difficult, because due to the climate on the island, eating too spicy food can easily cause getting a sore throat.
The food in the cafeteria is mostly light, but it’s not that good either.
Braised food is considered to be heavy in flavor, but as for the heavy oil and salt...
The island is not short of salt, but it is short of oil, so heavy oil is also out of the question.
Not to mention the spicy ones.
There is yellow lantern chili sauce, but it is used as a condiment in the cafeteria to add flavor.
Besides, it’s too spicy.
"Do you have to eat spicy food?"
"…No, I just want to eat."
Yi Chi Chi's mouth twitched, "Can I get you a spoonful of yellow lantern chili sauce?"
"Okay."
Ji Jian's attitude is just spicy, she doesn't care what brings the spiciness.
After giving Yi Chichi some money and food coupons, she said, "Give me more meat if you have any."
"No meat?"
"Then let's go with sea fish."
"OK."
After taking the money and food coupons and putting them in his pocket, Yi Chichi took the lunch box and went out with an umbrella.
Because of the typhoon, the cafeteria is much colder now than in the past when it was crowded at mealtimes.
The officers and soldiers who came to eat left as soon as they finished their meal, and each ate faster than the other.
Yi Chichi's arrival broke the silence of the cafeteria.
No matter they were coming to get food, eating, or preparing to leave after eating, they all greeted her.
"Sister-in-law, come here, there's no one."
The little soldier who had eaten her candy saw her coming and waved at her with a tray.
Yi Chichi said "oh", walked quickly to him, glanced at his food and said, "Xiao Ding, go eat quickly, I'll leave as soon as I'm done. Your sister Lin is still waiting for dinner."
"Okay sister-in-law, be careful on your way back."
