Chapter 103: Drinking Northwest Wind
She suspected that she was hallucinating. She could clearly see the exquisite auspicious cloud pattern when the clothes were spread out on the kang, but how come she couldn't see it after she picked it up?
Just as she was full of doubts, Yi Chichi's wrist holding the clothes moved slightly, "What now?"
The clothes swayed slightly, and the hem of the skirt, which was originally invisible, began to ripple like silver waves.
Auspicious cloud patterns appear, revealing a sense of ethereality and fairy spirit.
“Fuck!”
Wang Nan’s eyes suddenly widened. This was too magical.
"Let's take another look."
Yi Chichi twisted the clothes and turned them around. Amidst the layers of misty auspicious clouds, a phoenix head appeared.
"Let's see how it goes."
Yi Chichi held the clothes as if showing off his skills and asked her to look at them from different angles. Wang Nan held her breath and concentrated, her eyes full of amazement.
"how?"
Yi Chichi felt that it was about time, so he put down his clothes, looked at her and asked with a smile.
At this time, Wang Nan was still immersed in the stunning beauty of the embroidery on her skirt. When she heard Yi Chichi's words, she shuddered and looked over.
Then--
“Ahhhhh…”
There was a sudden sharp explosion. Yi Chichi, who was bombarded with noise at close range and was hugged by a bear, became deaf. Bai Chen and others, who were preparing to take a shower and go to bed in the house, heard the scream and thought something had happened. They rolled down from the kang and rushed over.
"What's going on?!"
With a bang, the door of Yi Chichi's room was knocked open.
Then, both sides looked at each other.
“Save me…”
Yi Chichi struggled to stick his head out from Wang Nan's tall figure, stretched out his hand with a painful look on his face, and was breathing weakly.
"Let go, let go."
Seeing that her face was almost turning blue, Ge Sujuan and Zhou Qiuyu quickly ran over to rescue her from Wang Nan's arms.
Then, Bai Chen asked seriously, "Did you two fight?"
"No!"
They said in unison that they didn't have any conflict, so there was no need to fight.
"Then what are you yelling like you saw... a blind bear?"
Bai Chen wanted to say ghost, but was afraid of being accused of feudal superstition, so his change of words was extremely abrupt.
But no one cared.
I won’t take it to heart.
Wang Nan smiled awkwardly and tried to explain, but Yi Chichi opened his mouth and said, "I asked her to pay back the money, but she was too poor to do so."
"???"
Wang Nan looked at her with a question mark face, not understanding why Yi Chichi lied. But since she didn't want anyone to know about the embroidery, she would just keep it a secret.
"That's right. I asked her to give me some time, and she asked me to pay the interest. I got so angry that I yelled a few times!"
He tells lies without blushing or feeling nervous.
Yi Chichi secretly gave her a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you are a good liar."
"real?"
Bai Cheng's suspicious gaze swept across the two people's faces, as if trying to determine whether they were lying based on their facial expressions.
Of course there was no way Yi Chichi and the others would let him see it, so they all nodded in agreement.
After getting the answer, Bai Chen and the others didn't know what to say.
Even if they wanted to persuade him, it is only natural to pay back debts, and they have no right to persuade Yi Chichi not to pay interest.
Help Wang Nan pay it back, they really are powerless.
So he could only exchange glances and advise, "You two should discuss it properly, don't fight, and don't shout anymore, it's scary!"
Wu Yongfei spoke earnestly. Qi Yang felt in his pocket, took out fifty cents and handed it to Wang Nan reluctantly, "That's all I have. How about you pay it back first?"
Yi Chichi and Wang Nan stared at the fifty cents he handed over, with frowns on their foreheads.
Can I accept this money?
If Comrade Lao Qi really takes over, he will be left with nothing.
"You keep it for yourself. I don't need you to worry about it."
Wang Nan pushed Qi Yang's hand back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will discuss it with Chi Chi."
"You don't want this?"
Qi Yang asked again without giving up, but Wang Nan shook his head. He said "oh" and put the money back into his pocket, then pulled Bai Chen and the others away.
"Talk carefully, and remember not to fight."
"Won't!"
After sending the people away, Yi Chichi and Wang Nan looked at each other.
Then the two of them burst out laughing.
“Eat candy!”
Yi Chichi took a red shrimp cake and stuffed it into her hand. Wang Nan didn't bother to be polite with her. She took it, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth. She lowered her voice and asked her vaguely, "Don't you want them to know?"
"Too many people talk too much."
It was enough to have someone to show off to. If Wang Nan hadn't come to her house today to pay off the debt and was curious about the embroidery on the clothes, she wouldn't have shown off.
As for whether I'm worried? Not at all.
Wang Nan also has her own secrets. Just that one imperial green melon is enough to make her very worried.
Furthermore, Yi Chichi firmly believed that a girl who remembered to pay back the money she borrowed as soon as she had the money in hand could not be a bad person.
Wang Nan had no idea what she was thinking. Looking at the skirt on the bed, the amazement in her eyes reappeared.
"Chi Chi, how much does it cost to make a piece of clothing like this?"
Young girls all like to be pretty, and Wang Nan is no exception.
The skirt made by Yi Chichi was so beautiful, and with the exquisite embroidery, it was simply the most beautiful dress she had ever seen in her life.
want to……
Yi Chichi's eyes suddenly widened, "You want it?"
"If it's not expensive, wait until I pay you back and send some to my family so that my sister can get some nutrition. Then I'll save up and ask you to make one for me."
Yi Chichi felt sad to hear this.
However, the sadness also made her realize the cruelty of reality.
"Come back and ask me in a few years."
It is now 1971. It will be much safer to wear it after the reform and opening up.
"You can't handle this type of clothing right now."
Wang Nan, ... I don't really understand why she asked again after a few years, but it doesn't matter, as long as she is willing to do it for her sooner or later.
Anyway, she didn't have the money to make clothes right now.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Her eyes fell on the clothes again, and she was puzzled. "I'm curious, why can't I see the embroidery on this dress when it's spread out, but the embroidery pattern that appears when it's moving is different."
"Are you sure you understand what I said?"
Yi hesitated to answer the question.
Wang Nan instantly thought of her performance when Yi Chichi taught them embroidery. She shook her head like a rattle and said, "I don't understand. I won't ask anymore. Go to bed early. I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for Yi Chichi to respond, she got up and left like a rabbit.
With a bang, the door was closed.
Yi Chichi sighed, Wang Nan was good in every way except that her moves were really fierce at times.
She got up, closed the door and bolted it, then put away the sewing basket and shelf on the kang and rested.
After a good night's sleep, she went out with Bai Chen and others after having breakfast the next morning.
The team raised a lot of livestock, including pigs, cows, horses, mules, etc. to replace labor, and there was also a donkey.
The cold winter is not suitable for building manure piles. It takes several days to build a manure pile that has been built for a winter.
Bai Chen and his team had to work diligently as dung collectors, while Yi Chichi had to go to the team doctor's office and go into the mountains with Uncle Yaozi.
When she fell, Uncle Yaozi was already ready.
She called out to Uncle Yaozi, who handed her a wicker basket and said, "Here are your tools."
