Chapter 460: No habit of playing the victim
Grandpa took a sip of wine and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them."
Ma Baoshan and the others' mouths twitched. How come this made them act like three-year-old children?
But one should be grateful for what one has received, so since Xiao Yi treated them to a big meal, they have to give face to Uncle Qin.
So, after the four of them exchanged glances, they said to Yi Chichi in unison, "Don't worry, we'll listen to your grandfather."
So, this topic ends here.
After eating and drinking, the group did not rush to leave, but continued to sit together and chat.
Talk about current affairs, the changes in the south, and what Yi Chichi saw and heard on the way back.
Then, she was criticized.
"You've run thousands of kilometers and haven't paid attention to anything."
Yi Chichi, who was holding a big orange cat and petting it, listened to her uncle Ye's complaints and felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry in front of him.
"Uncle, have you forgotten that I'm on the train? It's impossible for the train to stop and let me understand the local situation before bringing me back."
She doesn't have that much face yet.
Ye Yuntang was silent for a moment. Could he say that he had forgotten about this?
"It's my uncle's fault. You feel wronged."
Feeling in his pocket, he took out the red shrimp cake Qin Jiu had stuffed in his pocket and handed it to him, "Here, have it. Forgive me, uncle!"
"forgive!"
Waving her hands, she said, "Forget about the candy, I don't really like candy!"
"So what do you like to eat?"
"Pig's trotter!"
When she mentioned what she wanted to eat, her eyes lit up. "It would be best if it's the kind that's braised first, then grilled, and finally sprinkled with a layer of chili powder on the roasted pig's trotters..."
Then, she described in detail the taste and appearance of the roasted pig's trotters, which not only made herself hungry but also silenced everyone else.
Not to mention her, they also want to eat this kind of pig's trotter.
But it's just a thought.
However, she didn't expect that Wen's mother took her words to heart and secretly decided to fulfill her wish.
That’s right—
"Can we roast it directly over the fire?"
"No, you have to grill it with charcoal."
Mr. Ma Baoshan is very experienced in eating this dish and has also eaten barbecued it. "If you grill the pig's trotters over an open flame, they will turn black, which will not look good and will affect your appetite."
Old Master Song blurted out, "You can't even eat meat now, and you're still thinking about these things. You really have the time to spare."
"Just because I can't eat doesn't mean I can't eat it in Chichi. If she can eat it, then I can eat it too. Is it too much for me to consider it?"
Being anxious because of the smooth response from Mr. Ma, who was used to it, it made a lot of sense.
Yi Chichi pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to the meat processing plant tomorrow to see if I can exchange some pig's trotters for it."
If we can get roasted pig's trotters in return, we can arrange it.
Perfect!
When Wen's mother heard this, her eyes lit up. "Are you going to the commune tomorrow?"
"Going to get a package."
She sent so many things back, but she still hasn't received them.
Wen's mother said, "Then bring two jars of soybean paste to Wen Shi and mail them to him tomorrow."
"good!"
The old man and his men had something they wanted her to bring back. When Qin Jiu presented the list, he wondered, "Why don't you ask the captain to help bring it?"
"inconvenient."
Mother Wen touched his head and said, "You can let your aunt take care of him, or you can let me take care of him, but you can't let anyone else in the village take care of him."
The implication is: The captain and the others can be trusted.
It’s hard to say anything else.
"Xiaojiu, you have to understand that too many people can make eyes look at you and that human nature is downward."
Qin Jiu knew about it. He said, "When Grandpa and I were fine, Big Fatty would come to play with me every day. Even if I didn't want to play with him, he would stick to me. But when we got into trouble, he started throwing rocks and bricks at Grandpa and me, and even scolded us."
Yi Chichi and the others didn't know about this.
She looked at the old man and said, "You didn't tell me this."
"It's all in the past. There's nothing to say."
The old man who shed blood but not tears had no habit of playing the victim. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. If you don't go back now, the fire in the kang hole will go out."
This is a serious matter.
These old guys can't survive in this freezing cold weather without a warm bed.
Yi Chichi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also knew this, so they did not try to keep them. Instead, they sent the old man and the others back and checked the house inside and out, making sure that there was enough firewood, the kang was warm, and the quilts were very thick before leaving.
At night, Wen's mother slept with her, and Qin Jiu also ran in to join them.
The kang is big anyway, so we can sleep together.
The two cats were stuffed into his quilt, and the man and the two cats fell into a sound sleep.
Yi Chichi was whispering to Wen's mother until she fell asleep. When she woke up, Wen's mother and Qin Jiu were gone, and Dajuzi and the others had also disappeared without a trace.
She lifted the quilt and sat up. The first thing she did was to take a cup of water and drink it.
After sleeping on the kang for a night, my throat felt burning and dry.
The kang was burning too brightly at night, so I have to remind my mother to lower the fire tonight.
After getting dressed and going out, an enticing fragrance came to me.
She sniffed and ran to the kitchen, "Mom, what did you cook? It smells so good."
"Lard residue noodles, do you want to eat it?"
"eat!"
"Go wash up."
"Okay!"
Five minutes later, Yi Chichi, who had taken care of his personal hygiene, appeared at the dining table. Wen's mother and Qin Jiu had already started eating.
"Would you like some chili?"
Pointing at the small clay pot next to her, Wen's mother stretched out her hand.
"Mom, you eat, I'll do it myself."
Yi Chizhi opened the clay pot, quickly scooped two spoonfuls of oil and poured chili peppers on the surface, then took chopsticks to stir it, and then picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.
Just as I was about to chew, the fireweed came.
"Chichi, I'm here to start work with you."
Before she finished speaking, she saw a family of three eating breakfast and said with a smile, "They're eating."
"Um."
Yi Chichi nodded, swallowed the delicious and slightly spicy noodles in his mouth, and asked her if she had eaten and if she wanted some.
Liu Lan’s answer was that she had eaten.
"I can't start work today. I have to go to the team doctor's office at nine o'clock to meet up with Uncle Yaozi and go to the commune."
Liu Lan, "...Then I'll come in the afternoon?"
"It's not necessary."
She took a sip of the noodle soup and said slowly, "Wait until I finish eating and give you the money. Come back tomorrow."
Let her go today. She'll be lucky if she doesn't freeze into an ice stick when she comes back from the commune.
It was impossible to start work, what she needed was rest.
Liu Lan hurriedly explained, "I'm not here for money, I just want to work with you."
The kids at home are too noisy, affecting her work and earning money.
Yi Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't say you came here for the money. Don't think too much. Go home and spend the day with your kids. You'll be busy from tomorrow until the end of the year."
As she spoke, she finished her bowl of noodles.
"Mom and Xiaojiu, take your time eating. I'll take Lanlan into the house."
Wen's mother and Qin Jiu agreed. Yi Chichi led the people into the house and took out her money and bills from the kang box and handed them over. "Five hundred and twenty-six yuan and thirty cents. You count them. The rest will be exchanged for national bills according to your request."
Liu Lan retracted her outstretched hand, "Why is there more than a hundred yuan?"
"The sizes and patterns are different, so the prices given by Friendship Store are naturally different."
Yi Chichi explained the reason for the price change, and Liu Lan suddenly realized it. She took the money and put it in her pocket without even bothering to count it, but she counted the tickets.
After ordering, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I have national food coupons."
