Chapter 28 Buy some medicine
Not only do they know each other, Zhang Lin and the brigade secretary Liu Xiangqian's wife Ma Lanhua are also relatives.
It’s easier to talk to acquaintances, especially relatives.
He looked at Liu Xiangqian and said, "Old uncle, you can't scold Comrade Yi and the others. There is a reason for what happened."
As for what the cause was, he didn't say, and the captain and the others didn't ask.
Instead, he repeatedly gave assurances, "I will definitely not scold them."
Just come back safely.
but--
"Don't do this next time."
Liu Xiangqian looked at Yi Chichi and the others and sternly warned them, "Give me a heads up if you need anything."
Bai Chen felt that this matter was quite difficult for them.
After all, when they went to the county, they didn't expect Yi Chichi to leave suddenly, and then he seemed to be missing.
When we met again, she had become an enthusiastic and outstanding educated youth comrade who was brave and righteous.
He also took them to eat and sleep.
But can you say this?
Must not.
If I tell the truth, the captain and the others will explode.
Therefore, as the big brother, he could only smile and respond on behalf of the educated youth.
The captain and his men were satisfied and prepared to go back as it was getting late.
So, Yi Chichi and the others said goodbye to Zhang Lin and Zhou Yuan.
"I have to take you back."
"I have to go to Kaoshantun Brigade."
Two voices sounded at the same time, the former was Zhang Lin and the latter was Zhou Yuan.
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched, "Comrade Zhou, your mission has been completed."
She pointed at the team leader and his men, and her meaning was very clear: they had already met the person and conveyed the message, so there was no need to make another trip.
Zhou Yuan, "..."
That seems to be the case.
He smiled and said, "I just didn't think straight. I'll go back to work."
"good."
After Zhou Yuan left, Liu Xiangqian said to Zhang Lin, "We have a lot of cars today, so they don't have to walk."
Zhang Lin thought about it and felt it was okay.
"Where's the car?"
If it's far, he can deliver it, after all, there are a lot of packages.
“Yes!”
Liu Xiangqian pointed to the empty horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts on the curb opposite, "So many carts can easily carry a few people."
"Okay, then I'll leave Yi Zhiqing and the others to my uncle."
"It has to be."
Soon, all the packages in the carriage were moved down and sent to the carriage opposite.
Yi Chichi and the others also sat up, and Zhang Lin waved at them, "Comrade Yi, I'll go back first."
"Comrade Zhang, walk slowly and be careful on the road!"
The military green Liberation vehicle drove away, and Yi Chichi and his team also set off.
The horse and the big buffalo pulled the cart forward. The captain sat on the cart frame, took out his pipe, struck a match and lit it. After taking a puff of the spicy and choking dry tobacco, he slowly asked, "Is the county fun?"
His tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard.
Yi Chichi and the other four girls were sitting in the horse-drawn carriage driven by the captain, while Bai Chen and the others were in the two carriages at the back.
With no external help available, Yi Chichi, who had just made eye contact, was pushed out to be the representative to reply.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know if it's fun or not. We haven't played it yet."
"I see you look quite regretful."
"No, absolutely not."
I swear to God, she has no regrets at all.
In this era, let alone the small county town of Baoan, even places like Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou are not that good to her.
Having seen the prosperity of later generations, the 70 years have left her with a grayish color.
There was no attraction to her at all.
"Where did you stay last night?"
"Public Security Guest House."
As soon as these words were spoken, the captain knew that he could not ask any further questions.
I asked but didn't get an answer.
The fact that Zhang Lin was able to send them back on the leader's orders and specifically told them that there was a reason for it and they should not scold him is very telling.
So, let's stop talking about this topic.
"Are you happy about the food distribution tomorrow?"
"Happy!"
No matter how much it is, it is the result of their labor.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Chichi and his friends returned to the Youth League Home in Kaoshantun.
After the captain told them to gather at the brigade headquarters the next morning, he drove away in his carriage.
After the package was moved in, I felt hungry.
It was already dark, and with no electricity, everyone was too lazy to cook, so they boiled a pot of water and cooked sweet potatoes for a meal.
In the evening, after Yi Chichi sorted out all the clothes and daily necessities in the package, he took out the fine cotton cloth he had bought and began to cut it skillfully using the light of a flashlight.
The flashlights were also looted from the Yi family. There were two of them, and she took them both.
It is not as good as electric light, but better than candles and kerosene lamps.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, four pairs of shorts were ready.
"Finally, I can finally be pants free."
She let out a long sigh, and immediately poured water to wash and dry her pants. Only after washing up did she lie down on the kang and fall into a deep sleep.
After a good night's sleep and a good breakfast the next morning, they went to the brigade headquarters to queue up and wait to receive their rations according to their centimeters.
Regardless of the centimeters, everyone's face was filled with joy.
Only Zhou Qiuyu was unhappy because she only received 30 kilograms of coarse grains and 2 kilograms of fine grains.
Among them, whole grains include sweet potatoes, corn cobs, etc.
Seeing her bitter face, Wang Nan comforted her, "If you earn more centimeters next year, you will get more food at the end of the year."
This statement hit Zhou Qiuyu's point perfectly. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "My goal is to get full centimeters next year."
This is not easy. Many experienced players in the team can't get full centimeters, and Zhou Qiuyu's small arms and legs make it difficult.
But the child is ambitious, and Yi Chichi and the others don't want to discourage her, so they can only encourage her that she can do it.
The little girl is full of energy and dreams of a bright future.
As she was talking, her eyes fell on the food in Yi Chichi's hand, "Chichi, why do you want all the fine grains?"
"My stomach hurts."
She sighed, "I'll change the food after my stomach gets better."
I really can't bear it now.
"How can you have such a serious stomach problem at such a young age?"
"I'm not in good health. I take medicine all year round, which hurts my stomach."
Yi Chichi could tell lies fluently without blushing or breathing heavily, but he couldn't tell them that this body had been abused since childhood and that his stomach problems were caused by hunger.
The original girl's life was hard enough, and she couldn't use the original owner's experience to gain sympathy.
Wang Nan and the others did not doubt it, but asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Almost done, only the stomach is left."
"Take good care of it!"
"Um."
After returning to the Youth League Home with lots of chatting and laughing, Yi Chichi put the food away and prepared to go out.
Wang Nan and his colleagues were squatting in the yard sorting sweet potatoes, preparing to put them in the cellar.
Seeing her strolling around as if she was about to go out, Ge Sujuan asked curiously, "Where are you going, Chi Chi?"
"Go find Uncle Yaozi to buy some medicine."
By the way, get some medicine powder for the captain and his men to take into the mountains. She still relies on them for her pig stomach.
You have to pay attention.
"Then go quickly!"
"You guys are busy."
More than ten minutes later, Yi Chichi appeared in the brigade clinic.
There was no one in the yard, but there were a lot of medicinal herbs covered with dirt spread on the ground.
She squatted down and sorted out the herbs with excitement. She had just picked up a plant of Astragalus that was nearly ten years old when a gentle male voice came from behind her.
