Chapter 361: A few words of advice before leaving
Yi Chichi felt that there was little hope, as tiger-head shoes were too niche and had a small audience.
Besides, there are limited foreign guests nowadays.
In addition, needlework is developed in the south, which is a characteristic inherited from geography and economy since ancient times.
If they really want to do this, the Friendship Store in Shanghai can find people locally, which is more convenient than cooperating with the secretary and others.
But the secretary was very enthusiastic, and Yi Chichi didn't want to pour cold water on him.
He could only send the person away with a smile, and then his face fell as he turned around.
If the market is not open, the economy will not be able to take off.
However, this cannot be rushed. In the tide of the times, individual power is insignificant, and change is as difficult as ascending to heaven. There is no other way except to be swept forward.
So, wait, wait for reform and opening up, and spring will come.
She sat back in front of the embroidery frame, took the silk thread and started working.
After embroidering for an hour or so, the captain and medicine man who had seen the secretary off came back.
The two men came for no other purpose than to ask whether what Secretary Yi Chichi said was reliable.
Her answer was also simple, "I don't know."
"Didn't you just come back from Guangzhou?"
"Just because I came back from Guangzhou doesn't mean I know all this."
Yi Chichi was at a loss for words when asked by the team leader. She patiently explained, "I'm an embroiderer at the Friendship Store, not a salesperson. I haven't done any research on the shopping preferences of my customer base, and I've never seen tiger-head shoes for sale."
Uncle Yaozi understood immediately, "That means this business can't be done."
Who knows?
"Let's wait for news from the secretary and the others."
She couldn't worry about it, and it wasn't her turn to worry about it.
If the deal is successful, it will bring many benefits to Baoan Commune, and it will also add to the secretary's political achievements, which will help him move up in the career ladder.
If it doesn't work out, there's no loss.
"Just wait patiently. There's no point in being anxious."
The captain lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and sighed, "Of course I'm anxious. If the deal goes through, we can even get two apprenticeship spots."
Yi Chizhi didn't say anything, and Uncle Yaozi became interested. "If there really is a quota, who are you going to give it to?"
"One for the female educated youth at the educated youth site, and one for Zhuzhu and the others."
This is a good team leader. He was already thinking about how to allocate the quotas without even noticing something, and he didn't even miss the educated youth points.
Thinking of Zhou Qiuyu and the others, Yi Chichi hoped that it would succeed.
However, her hope was useless. This matter did not depend on their side, but mainly on the Shanghai side.
Looking at the team leader and then at Uncle Yaozi, she said, "Why are you two so idle? Have you finished the work in the fields, and have you prepared the traditional Chinese medicine supplies in the team doctor's office?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that, but once he did, Uncle Yaozi immediately said, "Speaking of medicinal material reserves, you have to help me with something."
"What's up?"
"I'm going into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow. Go and teach Lang Zhiqing how to cut Panax notoginseng."
Yi Chichi slapped himself in the face angrily, saying, "You are so mean. If you don't mention it, nothing will happen. But if you mention it, you will be drafted into the army."
"Uncle, can I not go?"
Uncle Yaozi looked at her straight in the eyes, "Are you still my eldest niece?"
She really has no idea what to do with this.
Gritting her teeth and making up her mind, she nodded, "Okay, uncle, you can go into the mountains tomorrow without worry. I promise to teach Lang Zhiqing honestly."
Uncle Yaozi, satisfied with the answer, was willing to leave. He took the captain with him and said goodbye. The captain said angrily, "Let me give her a lecture before you leave."
"No, I'm counting on her to work tomorrow."
What should he do if he scolds someone and makes him cry and then quits his job?
"I……"
"Fuck you, shut up, do you still want to drink?"
As soon as the word "wine" came out, the captain instantly became as quiet as a chicken and followed his footsteps and left.
Wen's mother came back at this time. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the two brothers walking out arm in arm. She smiled and asked, "Are you going home?"
"go back."
"Then come play again next time?"
"good."
"How about staying for dinner?"
"No, there's food at home. It would be a waste if we don't eat it."
Not wanting to continue discussing this topic with her, the captain waved his hand at her and said, "Let's go. Be well, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
"Okay."
Wen's mother stood at the door and watched the two of them leave. She took off her shoes and picked up the dirt to dump it. Yi Chichi brought out some water for her. Seeing this, she asked in confusion, "Mom, did you go digging?"
"Yeah, went and did some digging."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the teacup and drank most of the water in gulps. Then she said with a look of finally coming back to life, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Cook the crucian carp."
The day after she came back, Uncle Yaozi brought her five crucian carps, all of which were fresh and weighed more than one kilogram. They were now being kept in a large water tank in the backyard.
"Okay, I've done all of them. You can send three of them to your grandfather and the others later."
"good."
There were five crucian carps. The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Qin Jiu ate two, and grandpa and his family ate three. It was a perfect distribution.
As a result, when she returned from delivering the crucian carp and rabbit meat at dinner time, she found that the fish head was missing.
Looking down, I saw that Daju, Dali, and the cat were happily gnawing on a fish head, and the little brat Qin Jiu was still smuggling rabbit meat to feed them.
Wen's mother saw it but said nothing.
Yi Chichi also didn't say anything. What was there to say? The rabbit was brought back by Daju and his friends. As freeloaders, they had no right to say anything.
"Hurry up and eat, the rabbits that Daju and the others brought back are so delicious."
Seeing her sit down, Qin Jiu quickly took a spoon and put a spoonful of rabbit meat into her bowl.
"Thank you, Xiaojiu. You can eat it yourself. Auntie will pick it up for herself if she wants to eat."
"good."
Then, the three people and two cats entered a pleasant dinner time.
They ate and chatted, mainly Yi Chichi asking Qin Jiu about his homework.
There is still some time before the end of summer vacation, and Qin Jiu is letting himself go and wandering around with Zhuangzhuang and the others, and his self-discipline has declined a lot.
You need someone to watch over you while you study.
"I'll do my homework after I finish eating."
As soon as she asked, the little brat immediately grinned at her in a flattering manner.
Mother Wen tutted her words, "You were so well behaved before, why did you become so unconscious after your aunt came back?!"
"Grandma, you don't even scold me."
The little brat had a good reason, "Aunt is different, she not only scolds me, but also beats me. I feel like I haven't heard her scold me for a long time. Let me recover for two days and then return to my old schedule."
This answer silenced both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
After a while, Yi Chichi said helplessly, "Your hobby is not good, you have to be more noble, you can't be disobedient just to get scolded by your aunt."
"kind!"
The little brat grinned happily.
Wen's mother laughed and said, "He hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you."
I need to find some scolding to confirm the authenticity of her return.
"Eat quickly, and after you finish, I'll give you some new questions."
"good."
The big orange raccoon has a big appetite. After eating in the bowl, the two of them ran over and meowed to beg for more.
Wen's mother had already prepared. She took two eggs, broke them and poured them on the raw rabbit meat, then shared them with them.
There was food in the bowl again for the two cubs, who lowered their heads and began to eat with a slurp.
Seeing this, Mother Wen looked away. "The oil at home is almost gone. I'm going to the grain and oil store tomorrow and the supply and marketing cooperative at the same time. Is there anything I need to bring you?"
