Chapter 443 I Don’t Want to Stay
The two soldiers happily went to clean up the silt.
Yi Chichi looked at Wen Shi, who was covered in dirt, had an untidy beard and bloodshot eyes, and her eyes turned red with heartache.
"Are you not hurt?"
When Wen Shi heard this, he wanted to pull his hand back, but he forgot that he was still holding the shovel and couldn't do so. He could only pretend to be calm and said, "I'm fine. I can't be hurt."
Yi Chizhi's mouth twitched. Does this guy think she is blind?
If she couldn't see such an obvious movement, she wouldn't need these eyes.
"Show me your hand."
"...a little skin was broken."
Wen Shi, who hadn't been able to hide it, saw her face darken, and he obediently stretched out his hand to show her.
Yi Chichi checked and found that it was indeed not serious. It was just an injury caused by a burst blood blister. Compared with his previous injuries, this one was not even a superficial injury.
But it hurts!
She knows all too well the pain of blisters on the palms and the bursting of the blisters.
"Can we take a break now?"
If possible, treat his hand. Even though the wound is small, it will be no fun if it gets infected.
However, Wen Shi had no time to rest, and the reason he gave was very justified.
"We have to hurry up and clean up this area, and then help our fellow villagers rebuild their homes."
Many houses have collapsed, and living in tents every day is not a solution.
The folks need to make a living.
"Let me help you."
She reached for the shovel, but was reluctant to let go. "Go back, we'll be done soon. You'll be distracted if you stay here."
At this time, Lao Li and others were also chasing people away.
The reason given was more legitimate than Wen Shi's. There were children at home who needed a mother's care, and they were here.
So, in the end, Yi Chichi and the others who were unable to stay had to go home.
Five days later, Wen Shi and his men returned home after completing all the follow-up work. Their appearances were worse than each other. The originally quiet family compound became lively because of the men's return.
Yi Chichi and the others gathered together to wash clothes with brushes, and while chatting, they all expressed their heartache for their men.
"My husband Huang had a large scrape on his leg. It hurts just looking at it."
Hearing Yang Qing's words, Ji Jian sighed, "My old man Li is not much better. His hands are covered with blisters."
Yi hesitated to respond, but asked, "Have you dealt with it all?"
"It's dealt with. I'll deal with it when I get back."
Mrs. Lei answered on behalf of everyone else, and then asked her, "Is your Wen Shi injured?"
"The blisters on my hands healed and burst, then broke and reappeared."
At this point, she sighed, "I already had a lot of calluses, and now that I'm better, there are even more."
"You soften him up."
Ji Jian has experience in this area. She has seen Yi Chichi take care of her hands, and the results are remarkable after following a set of procedures.
"Use your hand ointment on him and let me see the effect. If it works, I'll ask you for some ointment to apply to my husband, Lao Li."
My hands are so rough that it hurts to hold them.
When the baby is beaten, it hurts so much that he cries loudly.
Mrs. Lei and the others' eyes lit up, "You still have such a good thing?"
Yi Chi Chi's mouth twitched. "I do embroidery, and my hands are very demanding. Without this thing to protect my hands, they won't be soft."
That's true.
"Then when will you do it for your husband?"
"Why, I'm going to do it to him and you guys come to watch?"
"If you can."
"Can't."
Yi Chi Chi decisively refused, "Forget about the hand protection. I don't know how to remove calluses or soften Lao Wen's skin."
"Why?"
"Don't you see their profession? Having calluses is a good thing for them."
She held out her hand to show them, "If they really become as soft as me, their hands will be in trouble. They will be covered in blisters and blood every day. Don't you feel sorry for them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Yi Chichi teased them, "Are you still doing it?"
"No more."
Let it be rough, it's not like a woman's hands so why would they need to be so tender?
Roughness and calluses are what protect their hands.
"Big sister, how long have you been here?"
As he was speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind him.
When she turned around, she saw He Yunsong, whom she hadn't seen for more than a year, standing with one hand on his waist and grinning at her with his big teeth.
Like an idiot, he completely destroyed his cool and handsome temperament.
Yi Chichi exclaimed in surprise, "Old He, when did you come back?"
"I came back this morning."
He strolled over and saw that each of the female comrades had a large basin in front of them. The water in the basin was as dirty as mud. He sighed and said, "This is really dirty."
"Everyone went to disaster relief, so it's really impossible to clean it."
Ji Jian replied to him and asked curiously, "Did you encounter strong winds and heavy rains at sea?"
"fine."
He Yunsong's answer was quite vague, but Yi Chichi knew something was going on when she heard it. Ji Jian and the others were not stupid people. Even if they were, they would understand what they should understand after staying in the family area for a long time.
He Yunsong's answer clearly stated that he couldn't elaborate.
Therefore, the group of people stopped asking questions and naturally changed the subject.
"You haven't been home for so long. Why are you here instead of accompanying your wife?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he said it, He Yunsong's face fell.
He pulled up his pants and squatted down next to Yi Chizhi, sighing, "My wife is busy. I thought she was in the infirmary, but I didn't see her there. Doctor Lin told me she was on her shift at the hospital. I rushed to the hospital again, and the director told me she was delivering a baby in the delivery room."
Yi Chichi, "So you came back?"
"You're back."
If you can't see anyone, why stay there if you don't come back?
Seeing Yi Chichi's disgusted look, he defended himself aggrievedly, "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's Grandpa who sent me back, saying that I was in the way."
Not wanting to continue this topic, he asked, "Where's Lao Wen?"
"He's sleeping at home. Go find him yourself."
I was so tired that I came back, took a shower, changed my clothes, and then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't wake up even when I tempted him with food.
"I'll go take a look."
He Yunsong scurried out, looking as anxious as if he was looking for his beloved.
Ji Jian and the others looked at his impatience and laughed.
He also complained to Yi Chichi, "They have a really good relationship."
"Um."
Brothers who share life and death cannot have a good relationship.
"Before Comrade He married Xiao Zhang, the first thing he did when he came back from going out was to look for your husband, Lao Wen. After they got married, your husband became second, but he never stayed overnight."
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Let them be. It's a good thing to have a brother who cares about you in this world."
She hasn't had this kind of feeling yet.
She took a brush and scrubbed the clothes vigorously. She used basin after basin of clean water to wash the dirty clothes thoroughly.
Then she found that Wen Shi's clothes and pants were torn.
"Are your men's clothes torn?"
"It's broken."
The rips were more outrageous than the last. The sleeves were torn at the joints, the crotch was split, and a piece of the trouser legs was torn off.
"Will you give out new clothes this year?"
"Yes, but the necessary repairs still need to be made up."
As long as it is not so rotten that it cannot be repaired, patching is not a problem.
