Chapter 101 Giving Shoes
“Thank you!”
She quickly reached out to take it, and took a bite under the smiling gazes of Yi Chichi and the others.
Thinking it was too cold, she opened her mouth and wanted to vomit.
"Don't spit it out. Just taste it."
Ge Sujuan manually muted her microphone. Zhou Qiuyu frowned and swallowed, glaring at her with accusatory eyes.
“Is it sweet?”
Ge Sujuan laughed out loud.
Zhou Qiuyu is a very honest kid. He shook his head and said it was not sweet.
Qi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Who told you that Bing Gua Tian is sweet?"
"Dun Dun, they all said so."
Yi Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "Sometimes you can't trust what children say. They even said that iron is sweet."
It is common for children in Northeast China to have sticky tongues.
Yi Chichi's words hit the funny spot for Bai Chen and the others, and they all started laughing and talking about the dark history of Dun Dun and the other kids.
There was one case where someone went to the commune to lick the railings and got his tongue stuck, another where someone was playing on a sled and fell headfirst into a snow pit and needed someone to pull him out like a carrot, etc.
Zhou Qiuyu's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I see the sled?"
"Last year, Zhuangzhuang broke his leg, and the village banned children from playing sledding."
That means they have no chance to experience the charm of sledding.
Yi Chichi was quite disappointed. She looked at the falling snow and said, "I'm afraid it won't stop any time soon. What are you going to do?"
"Paste the matchbox."
"Reading."
There is nothing to do on a snowy day, and the wind is strong, so no one wants to go out.
So, in the end, Yi Chichi and the others heated up the kang and stayed in the big room to take care of their own things.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Shi and the others left. Before leaving, they came to say goodbye to her and gave her ten big unity notes and a stack of tickets.
I solemnly ask her to take time to visit the old man and others, while ensuring her own safety.
If there are any urgent items needed, I hope she can use the money and tickets to help them get them.
Yi Chichi nodded in agreement, but he became confused about the money and tickets in his hand.
"Did you two put this together?"
"no."
Wen Shi shook his head and said softly, "The old man and his men were able to come to Kaoshantun as a result of many efforts. Each of us contributed twenty yuan, and the rest of the money and tickets were contributed by others."
In other words, there are many people who are secretly paying attention to and protecting the old man and others.
But I can understand that a broken ship still has three thousand nails.
Although the old man has many enemies, he also has many friends.
There are always people who can stand firm in the wind and rain, so the result is normal.
Thinking of this, she solemnly promised, "Don't worry, I will give all the money and tickets to the old man and others."
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome. What time do you want your tickets?"
"The bus leaves at 3:30 pm."
Yi Chichi looked at the time and said, "Then hurry up and be careful on the road."
"Okay, you can go and play with my mother when you are bored."
Hearing this, Yi Chichi was stunned for a long while before realizing the deep meaning of his words.
Inviting her to go and play with his mother was a sincere gesture, but another reason was to tell her that if she couldn't find a suitable opportunity, she could use the excuse of going to play with her mother to visit the old man and the others.
The arrangements are very thorough.
If her judgment was correct, Wen Shi's mother might also be an insider.
Great, now she has someone to cover for.
"I understand. Don't worry, go report to your new unit. I'll be there for you, old man."
With her promise, Wen Shi and He Yunsong left in the snowy wind with peace of mind.
Yi Chichi returned to the house. Wu Yongfei, who was leaning on the window and looking out, saw her come in and immediately came over with his eyes shining.
"Are you dating one of them?"
Yi Chichi, who had just taken off her shoes and was about to go to bed to embroider, turned her neck and looked at him with a strange look in her eyes.
"Which eye of yours saw me dating one of them?"
"Why would they look for you if you're not in a relationship?"
Yi Chichi rolled his eyes, "You all know to ask me for frostbite cream, but they are not allowed to ask me for medicine."
"So, they're buying medicine from you again?"
"Not really."
She shook her head and calmly explained to the curious eyes of the crowd, "They came to remind me not to forget their medicine."
I do have to remind him, after all, the money and the ticket have been paid.
I will never feel at ease until I get it in my hands.
I understand.
Wu Yongfei, who didn't get to eat the melon, returned to his seat to paste matchboxes in disappointment, and Yi Chichi could now do her job with peace of mind.
In the next few days, except for a few people going out to sweep the snow, they usually stayed in the room, working and chatting.
Time flies and the first month of the year is over. The weather is still cold, but it is much better than before.
There is still some time before spring planting.
Uncle Yaozi started going around the village with his medicine box on his back, checking the health of the villagers before the spring planting season officially arrived.
On the first day when they went to the neighboring Red Flag Brigade, Yi Chichi was drafted into the army by Uncle Yaozi as a medicine boy and apprentice.
As a result, after a winter of good food and drink, her appearance had almost recovered. She was then spotted by a lazy man named Huang Laizi from the Red Flag Brigade, who flirted with her.
The eyes are obscene and vulgar.
Yi Chichi couldn't stand the humiliation and wanted to teach Huang Laizi a lesson.
But it failed, because Uncle Yaozi suddenly jumped up and beat Huang Laizi half to death.
The entire drying yard was filled with the screams of the yellow croakers.
later……
Later, the captain of the Red Flag Brigade and others said all the nice things they could to get the aggressive Uncle Yaozi to stop.
Huang Laizibai was beaten up. Yi Chichi worked as an apprentice for only one day before being assigned by Uncle Yaozi to guard the team's medical room.
Then she spent her days embroidering in the team doctor's office.
Liu Lan and the others would come to accompany her when they had nothing to do. She embroidered pair of insoles and knitted pair of soles.
That day, Yi Chichi had just finished cleaning the team medical room when Liu Lan and the others arrived.
"Chichi, this is for you."
Before she could ask them to sit down, Liu Lan stuffed a pair of shoes into her hands.
Yi Chichi, "??? Why did you give me shoes?"
"Wear it in the spring."
As she spoke, she urged, "Try it on quickly to see if it fits."
Yi Chichi looked at the shoes in his hand, which were pure handmade cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
The shoe upper is made of patchwork patterns. It's obvious that there wasn't enough cloth, so it was made by pasting together several scraps of cloth.
It comes with a sling bag, which is different from the old Beijing cloth shoes.
It’s not that they look good, but it takes a lot of time to make a pair of these shoes.
Ge Sujuan has only made six pairs of cloth shoes since the beginning of the winter.
This shows that making a pair of shoes is not easy.
I also have to gather fabric.
"How did you think of making shoes for me?" Yi Chichi's face was full of question marks.
"It wasn't me."
Liu Lan smiled and said, "This is what my mother made for you to thank you for teaching me embroidery."
Yu Qingqing and the others felt a pang in their hearts. Damn it! Chi Chi had taught them this before.
Although they didn't learn as well as Lanlan, she taught them sincerely.
Just this alone should be appreciated.
Now Lanlan gave her a pair of shoes, what should they give her? Shoes as well?
Just when he was worried, Yi Chichi returned the shoes.
"I can't accept it. You've already thanked me before."
