Chapter 32: The Curse is
Too Dirty Yi Chichi glanced at him and said, "Go to bed, you can dream about anything."
Qi Yang didn't react and subconsciously replied, "We haven't sent the candy yet, why are you sleeping?"
Bai Chen and the others were speechless. They wanted to say, "Brother, you have grasped the wrong focus," but on second thought, it was unnecessary.
So I followed his words and said, "Go and send it off after you finish eating."
Then, the problem came.
There was no scale in the Youth League Home, so we had no idea how much two taels of brown sugar weighed.
After a painful struggle, Yi Chichi came up with an idea.
"Can we each take two spoonfuls?"
Bai Chen and his friends thought about it and found it feasible.
So, everyone gathered together and started to share the candy.
Zhou Qiuyu didn’t have brown sugar, only malt sugar, the kind that came in loose pieces. You couldn’t find a whole piece, and the quantity wasn’t much either.
After everything was divided, she held the maltose and said, "Can I use this sugar instead?"
Yi Chichi and the others exchanged glances and refused together.
"Keep it for yourself."
This kid is so pitiful. She can't even eat this little bit of candy. Why should she share it?
"I'll spread it out for you."
Bai Chen showed his elder brother demeanor and endured the pain as he took a spoonful of sugar from his sugar jar and put it into the oil paper bag containing sugar.
When preparing to fill the second spoonful, Yi Chichi poured in the sugar.
Bai Chen, "??? Didn't we agree that I would share it with her?"
"Your jar is almost empty."
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "This spoonful is mine."
"You are not in good health, brown sugar can nourish your body."
This means letting her keep it for herself.
"I've already given it to you. When Qiuyu has brown sugar, you can return it to us."
"good."
This is not a girl who likes to take advantage of others. She has positive values.
After hearing what Yi Chichi said, she didn't feel unhappy. Instead, she smiled and promised, "When I have brown sugar, I will definitely return it to you."
With her words, Bai Chen stopped persuading her and wrapped the brown sugar, "Who will go with me?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
This means that no one wants to make this trip.
Bai Chen was speechless, "Two people must come together."
"Why?"
"I can't take credit for it. We agreed to send the entire Youth League Home together. How can I be counted as going alone?"
His attitude was very firm. As the elder brother of the Youth League Institute, he had to give him some face.
So, in the end, Wang Nan and Zhou Qiuyu accompanied him on this trip.
The reason for choosing two women and one man to travel together is to avoid gossip about the relationship between men and women.
It was already dark at this time, Yi Chichi gave them a flashlight and told them to go quickly and come back quickly.
"Close the gate and go back to the house. We will be back after we finish delivering the gifts."
With a wave of hand, Bai Chen and the others walked into the night with flashlights, and Yi Chichi and the others returned to the house.
Her own room was too small to grind the medicine, so she took the herbs and the medicine grinder to Ge Sujuan's room to grind them.
"It's over. I have nothing to fix this huge cut."
Ge Sujuan was sitting on the kang, sorting clothes for the winter. When she was sorting her thick cotton-padded jacket, she saw a big hole in it, with a large piece of cotton wool exposed. She immediately looked worried.
Yi Chichi heard the sound and came over to take a look. The hole was indeed quite big. If he didn't patch it, a large area of the cotton wool would be exposed.
"Do you have any clothes that are too tattered to wear?"
"No."
Ge Sujuan frowned and said, "I had a piece of clothing that was so torn that it couldn't be worn, so I made it into shoes."
The implication is: she didn't have any cloth suitable for patching.
Yi Chichi's gaze fell on her shoes, which were handmade with thousand-layer soles.
She doesn't know how to do this job.
Instantly, her eyes lit up, "You can make shoes?"
Ge Sujuan looked at her as if she were an alien, "You can't?"
"Won't!"
The words were powerful and the voice was loud.
"I didn't praise you, don't be so proud."
Ge Sujuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and teased her, "In my hometown, a girl of your age can't even find a date if she can't make clothes, shoes and socks."
Yi Chichi curled his lips, "That's your hometown, not my hometown."
Not wanting to continue this topic, she said with a smile, "Juanzi, I'll give you the cloth to patch it, can you make me two pairs of cloth shoes?"
"Okay."
Ge Sujuan agreed readily. She had to make them herself anyway, and it wouldn't be a big deal to make two pairs for Yi Chichi as well.
but--
"You have to provide your own cloth and paste."
"good."
The agreement was reached.
Yi Chichi went back to the house and brought the cloth to her.
Some of the scraps of cloth I bought at the department store were too small, so Aunt Du stuffed them in as extras. She only discovered this when she came back.
It’s not even enough to make bitter tea seeds, but it’s just right for patching.
She specifically picked corduroy because it was thicker.
After receiving it, Ge Sujuan was pleasantly surprised and asked, "You still have corduroy?"
"It's just this one. You should mend it quickly, or you'll be left without a cotton-padded jacket when it snows."
"Yes, I have to make up for it quickly. I have to bask in the sun tomorrow if the sun is good."
It won’t be warm without sun, and you have to pat it.
She took the scissors and started to work. Yi Chichi withdrew her gaze and continued to grind her medicine.
Time passed minute by minute, Ge Sujuan's patch was applied, Yi Chichi's medicine was also prepared, and the next step was just to configure it.
There is no time to configure it tonight, so I can only wait until tomorrow.
"Why haven't Wang Nan and the others come back yet?"
I looked at the time and it took a while, almost an hour.
Ge Sujuan also felt that something was wrong, and her thoughts were uncontrollably heading in the wrong direction.
She grabbed Yi Chichi's hand in a panic, "No, nothing unexpected happened, did it?"
The voice was trembling a little.
Yi Chichi felt that the possibility was not high, but it was better to be safe than sorry, so it was better to go and have a look.
"How about we ask Qi Yang and the others to go take a look?"
"Walk."
He was an impatient man and pulled Yi Chichi towards the door.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Bai Chen's voice.
"Open the door, we are back."
“Here it comes!”
Qi Yang ran to open the door, and Yi Chichi and the others were standing under the eaves waiting.
"How is Erhua doing?"
"He woke up once before, and fell asleep when we came back. Uncle Yaozi and Aunt Ma were guarding Genzi's house."
At this point, Bai Chen looked extremely relieved and said, "Luckily we went, otherwise the Niu family would have complained about us again."
The person referred to by Niu is Huang Qiuju, the woman with a big mole on her face that the captain mentioned on the day Yi Chichi and Zhou Qiuyu arrived.
This person is called Aunt Niu, and her personality is very hard to describe.
She is a troublemaker in the Kaoshantun Production Brigade. She has a terrible relationship with people, but she has no self-awareness and is everywhere.
Yi Chichi and the others get a headache when they see her.
I'm too lazy to call her aunt, so I always use Niu Dajia instead.
Upon learning that this person was also there and had bumped into them, Yi Chichi and the others looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"What did she do again?"
Ge Sujuan asked helplessly.
Wang Nan looked unhappy. "When we went there, she and Aunt Ma were scolding us, saying that we were stupid and had no conscience."
The curses were so dirty that she even thought her mouth was dirty after learning it, and she couldn't even clean her mouth by brushing her teeth.
Yi Chichi asked her, "You didn't curse back?"
