Chapter 64 Picked up on the road
Looking at the falling snow, she said, "I hope the snow will stop tomorrow."
This is what it means to decide to go.
Yi Chichi and the others looked at the sky and found that it was dark and didn't look like the rain was going to stop.
Sure enough, the snow was still falling the next day, but it was much lighter.
Seeing this, Ge Sujuan happily went out. Yi Chichi grabbed the wooden stick that Bai Chen and the others had prepared in advance and handed it to her, "Take it with you."
Xiang Xiang was worried, "Should I take you there?"
If something happened to her as a girl on the road in the freezing snow, she would be helpless.
It's too dangerous.
Bai Chen thought it made sense. "Well, Qi Yang and I will go with you. Will you come back in the evening?"
"return!"
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Will it be too much trouble for you?"
Ge Sujuan was tempted, but mainly because she was also a little scared because no one would go out in this kind of weather.
What's more, there is a deserted section of road between Kaoshantun and Qingshan Brigade, and she was worried about accidents on the road.
I feel more at ease with someone by my side.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. We only have one meal now anyway. You can just eat after delivering the gift. It won't delay anything."
That's true.
So, Ge Sujuan shamelessly left with Bai Cheng and Qi Yang.
After watching the three people wrapped up like bears walking away one step at a time, Yi Chichi and the others returned to the house and lit the kang in the largest empty room.
Then, a group of people sat on the kang, each occupying a corner, working while discussing what dishes would be served at the wedding banquet of Ge Sujuan's fellow villager.
"Chicken stew with mushrooms for sure."
Zhou Yadong swallowed, apparently remembering the deliciousness of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Wu Yongfei wanted to eat fish. "I hope Ge Sujuan can bring us some fish when she comes back."
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched, it was a nice thought.
I also brought back a fish, but I was afraid of the vegetables and tofu that were served.
I don't even know if there is sauerkraut stewed with pork bones.
After all, Qingshan Brigade was the brigade with the worst conditions in the entire Baoan Commune.
It is said that there are many lazy people in that brigade. They would never stand if they can sit, and would never sit if they can lie down.
The women in the team are capable, but no matter how capable they are, they are held back by the men in the house.
Therefore, every year after the public grain was handed in, the remaining grain was not enough for the team members to eat.
They are all as thin as bamboo poles.
These are the exact words of the team leader Aunt Ma and others. The residents of Kaoshantun don't have a good impression of the people of Qingshan Brigade.
The young men and girls in the village do not consider marrying people from Qingshan Brigade.
"Instead of pasting your matchboxes and expecting Juanzi to bring you fish, you might as well paste a few more matchboxes to exchange for the money and buy yourself some fish."
At this point, Yi Chichi wondered, "By the way, where did you get the matchbox job?"
"I didn't see you go out either."
"When you were in the team doctor's office, I went to the commune and took some work to earn some pocket money."
Zhou Qiuyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can you take me with you next time?"
She also wants to make some money. It's too boring to stay at home during the winter, so she might as well just sit there doing nothing.
"Sure, but you have to pay for the materials."
"I can."
Zhou Qiuyu blurted out, and then realized something was wrong, "Well, how much money do you want to bet?"
"It depends on whether you take more or less materials."
Wu Yongfei thought for a moment and said, "I bet 1.8 yuan this time."
Yi Chichi asked, "How much can you earn after you finish being a fool?"
"Ten thousand matchboxes are six dollars."
The amount was so terrifying that Yi Chichi instantly gave up the idea of following the trend. She didn't have the ability to make the money from making matchboxes, so she decided to leave it to someone with the ability.
She'd better do her needlework.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ge Sujuan, Bai Chen and others came back with smiles on their faces, looking as happy as if they had picked up a fortune.
Wu Yongfei curiously inquired, "You guys look so happy, did you eat well?"
Ge Sujuan's face instantly darkened, and she angrily said, "What a bullshit! Xiuxiu is so blind to marry such a stingy man! There is not a single meat dish at the wedding banquet, not even frangipani. There is only cabbage, pickled cabbage and tofu, and there is not even much tofu."
She kept complaining, and Yi Chichi and the others were afraid of the deep resentment, so they dared not speak out and continue to provoke her.
Fortunately, her temper came and went quickly. After she finished complaining, she happily took out a frozen snow rabbit from her cotton-padded jacket.
"Look, rabbit."
"Where did it come from?"
The plump snow rabbit looks delicious.
In addition, the hair is long and dense, so it would be very warm if made into a waistcoat or vest.
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up, and Ge Sujuan said happily, "I picked it up on the road."
"Old White and the others picked it up too."
The two men laughed and one of them took out two snow rabbits from his arms.
There are five snow rabbits in total. Except for Ge Sujuan's, which is the largest, the snow rabbits that Bai Chen and his team took out are smaller.
Zhang Yunhao took the rabbit and examined it, and exclaimed, "Wow, you actually picked up a whole nest of rabbits."
This is ridiculously good luck.
It also makes people envious.
"really."
Bai Chen and the others smiled so hard that their teeth were exposed and took two rabbits and stuffed them into Wu Yongfei's arms. "We're having a big dinner tonight. You cook."
Is there such a good thing?
Wu Yongfei immediately got off the kang as if he had been given an injection of chicken blood, and said, "I will do it now. Old Zhou, you come and light the fire for me."
"Okay!"
Zhou Yadong slid off the kang, put on his shoes, and followed him out.
Yi Chichi opened her mouth to say that I was producing oil, but Bai Chen seemed to know what she was thinking and stopped her, saying, "I usually rely on you for help. Today, just wait for the food, and don't worry about anything else!"
Ge Sujuan nodded, "That's right, I don't want you to go out today."
Zhou Qiuyu raised his hand, "Can I give out mushrooms?"
She had picked some mushrooms and dried them before, but they were not oily and not very tasty, so she left them there untouched.
"OK!"
So Zhou Qiuyu went to the mushroom.
Wang Nan also followed to take out the family savings, but Yi Chichi was the only one who ate white rice at everyone's unanimous request.
Nothing came out, and I even got a rabbit leg.
Two rabbits cooked in two ways, one was stewed and the other was smoked.
The smoked rabbit leg is very delicious and better than stewing it.
Seeing that she liked it, Ge Sujuan picked up two more pieces for her and said with a smile, "Eat more if you like it."
They had always been slow to feed her before, but today it was finally their turn to feed her.
Don’t mention it, it feels great! “Good.”
Yi Chichi didn't bother to be polite with them. She just picked up the food and ate it. It was a give-and-take thing. Next time, she could feed them the other way around.
The two rabbits together weighed a lot. Potatoes, dried beans, mushrooms and other things were also put into the stewed rabbit. Served with flatbreads, the group looked very satisfied after eating it.
After the pleasant dinner time, it was still early and the group of people did not rush to bed, but returned to the big room to continue working.
Wu Yongfei was really good with his hands. He pasted a lot of matchboxes during the day. Qi Yang was almost dumbfounded when he saw the pile of matchboxes. "You pasted so many?"
“My hands are fast!”
He said proudly, "Once I finish pasting these 1,000, I will go and deliver the goods."
Ten thousand are six dollars, one thousand are sixty cents.
This is a huge sum of money considering today's consumption level.
