Chapter 92: The image of a beauty is shattered
What sin did she commit to deserve such a rough man?
If you are not considerate, you will often get into trouble.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. When her emotions broke down, Qian Xiuzhen's tears flowed out like a faucet.
Liu Changlin was frightened to death and fumbled to comfort people.
Uncle Yaozi arrived at this time. He pulled Liu Changlin away and observed Qian Xiuzhen's arm, "Chichi, what's the condition of her arm?"
"The preliminary diagnosis is that it is dislocated and half broken. Now..."
The secondary damage was really severe. "It's probably broken now. I heard a snapping sound when Uncle Changlin grabbed it."
Yaozi, ...I don’t know what to say.
"Let me check it out!"
Afterwards, a group of people watched him examine Qian Xiuzhen.
Liu Changlin and the others watched with nervous expressions.
Seeing Yaozi's expression getting more and more serious, Liu Dongmei choked up and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with my mother?"
"It's broken."
Yaozi took his hand back and said calmly, "Send him to the hospital to see an orthopedic doctor."
"You can't see?"
"If you're not afraid that I'll get worse the more I watch, I can watch."
This sentence is more powerful than any persuasion. At least no one in the Liu family dares to take the risk.
So, Qian Xiuzhen was hurriedly taken to see a doctor by her husband and children.
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Yi Chichi said goodbye to Uncle Yaozi and returned to the Youth League Home.
Bai Chen and the others were waiting at the door, and they felt relieved when they saw her come back with a smile on her face.
"You're back?"
"Um."
She nodded with a smile. Seeing that she was in a good mood, Wu Yongfei jokingly asked, "What good thing happened to you?"
"No good thing happened to me, but I did see Aunt Xiuzhen rolling down the hillside."
"ah?"
Bai Chen and the others' pupils shrank. Aunt Xiuzhen was really brave to go up the mountain in this kind of weather.
"She's alone?"
"With Dongmei."
"Dongmei didn't roll down?"
"without."
"How's the aunt?"
"Go to the hospital if your arm is broken."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knocking sound.
Looking back, I saw the tractor carrying Liu Dongmei and her family passing by the door.
The one driving was Wen Shi.
Zhou Qiuyu and the others almost dropped their jaws when they saw this man wearing a military coat, a dog-skin hat, holding the handle with a cigarette in his mouth and squinting his eyes like a gangster.
"It's over. Comrade Wen's image as a beauty has been shattered in my mind."
Wang Nan is quite outspoken and not shy about anything.
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched, "You can think of him as down-to-earth."
“I wish I could drive a tractor.”
Qi Yang looked envious, and Bai Chen and the others sighed, "We won't be able to drive a tractor unless the team buys another tractor."
But this is just a dream, just think about it.
"Sweep the dust."
"Okay."
The New Year is coming soon, and dust removal is a big deal.
A group of people started working. Yi Chichi, wearing dirty clothes and a hat made of newspapers on his head, was sweeping the roof with a big broom.
Zhou Qiuyu and his colleagues were responsible for sweeping the floor and washing and scrubbing.
Bai Chen and his team went up to the roof to check for any leaks and repaired whatever needed to be done.
Wu Yongfei is the chef who prepares the food.
No matter how poor or scarce the supplies are, it cannot stop people from wanting to have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Various kinds of meatballs, such as radish meatballs and meatballs, are chopped and seasoned, then fried in a pan.
Oil, chicken, duck, fish and meat were all collected together, with everyone contributing a little. The total amount was not much, but it was enough for them to have a good meal.
There is no need to gather radishes and cabbages. Wang Nan and his colleagues have previously reclaimed wasteland and planted vegetables, and the harvest was good.
Yi Chichi brought out some snacks to make up the dish. Zhou Qiuyu had picked up a lot of mushrooms before and used dried mushrooms to make up the dish, so there was no question of who was taking advantage of whom.
Good.
When the oil pan was turned on, although the aroma was not so fragrant that it could be smelled ten miles away, it made Yi Chichi and the others so greedy that they lost interest in their work and ran to the kitchen.
"The meatballs are fried?!"
"Not fried yet, the radish balls are ready."
Wu Yongfei, who was standing by the pan with a spoon and staring at the frying pan, scooped up a fried radish ball and handed it over, "Share it."
The fist-sized radish balls are fried into a golden color, and the pure natural and pollution-free ingredients are fried in high oil temperatures to produce a fragrant aroma.
Yi Chichi quickly caught the meatballs in a bowl and used the chopsticks he had not used to separate the meatballs evenly.
"Give!"
Each person gets a small portion, and the last portion is hers.
“It smells so good!”
Zhou Qiuyu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then swallowed the radish meatball in one gulp.
The taste was really good, so good that she narrowed her eyes and moved closer to Wu Yongfei, "Another one?"
"Let's go, we'll eat it on New Year's Day."
Wu Yongfei waved his hands as if to shoo away a fly. The quantity was not much to begin with, and the fried food tasted the best when it was just out of the pan. If he didn't control himself, these guys would finish it.
"The New Year is not fun anymore."
Qi Yang argued, "You have to eat meatballs while they're hot."
Yi Chichi and the others nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we are all eating. It's the same thing today as it was on New Year's Eve."
It's all going into their stomachs anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they eat it early or late.
These words silenced Wu Yongfei.
Then he got angry.
"Then you guys eat. I won't be making the New Year's Eve dinner."
As soon as he put the spoon into the basin, he pulled off his dirty overalls and was ready to quit.
Yi Chichi and the others were scared to death by him and tried to comfort him quickly.
After saying all the nice things, a faint smile finally appeared on Wu Yongfei's face which was full of unhappiness.
"It's not that you can't eat it, but the amount is small. If you eat it today on New Year's Eve, there will be nothing left to eat. It's the only New Year's Eve dinner that comes once a year. You don't want to eat pickled vegetables and coarse grains, right?!"
"In no mood!"
Several people shook their heads, expressing their resistance to eating steamed buns with pickles on New Year's Eve.
Wu Yongfei waved his spoon and shouted, "Then why are you still standing here? Get out and work."
With their stomachs controlled, Yi Chichi and the others had no ability to resist at all. In order not to anger the chef and not be able to eat the food they wanted, they could only withdraw from their work diligently.
In the next few days, everyone was preparing for the New Year.
But as I said, we were poor and supplies were scarce, so there wasn’t much we could prepare.
There is no frozen tofu because it is hard to get.
Kill the rooster...
The educated youth did not raise chickens, and the villagers had requirements on the number of chickens they could raise at home. Roosters were basically nowhere to be found, so most of the chickens were hens that laid eggs.
The chicken butt bank is an indispensable source of income for the villagers and it is impossible to sell it.
I only bought thirty eggs, which were collected from several families.
The eggs were boiled and peeled, and then braised together with the pig's head when Wu Yongfei was braising it for Zhou Qiuyu.
The braised pork was divided into two parts at Zhou Qiuyu's request. She kept half for herself and placed the other half on the New Year's Eve dinner table.
New Year's Eve was a rare sunny day, and Yi Chichi and his family got up early to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, the nine educated youths from the Youth Institute gathered together, with a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner consisting of five dishes and a hot pot in front of them.
The five dishes are braised carp, meatballs stewed with mushrooms, radish meatballs, a braised egg cut in half and a dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes.
The hotpot is a big bowl full of pork, pig skull, sauerkraut and vermicelli, with a lot of chili peppers, which makes it spicy and fragrant.
