Even the scorching sun could not stop the farmers from facing the earth with their backs to the sky, sweat pouring out of their bodies.
Wen's mother came home covered in dust in the evening. After washing her hands and face, she was ready to cook. But when she entered the house, she found that Yi Chichi had already prepared the meal.
She also came out with a bowl of cold tomato and egg soup.
"Didn't I say I would do it when I got back?"
"I don't feel like working today, so I'll just cook a meal to improve the food."
Putting the soup bowl on the table, she asked, "Mom, are my grandpa and the others back?"
“I’m back!”
As soon as Wen's mother heard it, she knew what she was going to do. She didn't care about eating herself, but went into the kitchen with her, "Have you packed the food for them?"
"alright!"
The quantity is quite large, and the steamed buns fill two steamer trays. "Mom, please help me pick out another twenty steamed buns."
"good."
Wen's mother took a basin and put twenty big steamed buns in it. They were solid two-in-one steamed buns, each one more solid than the other.
With the appetite of my grandpa and his family, three of them can fill each person up.
"Mom, how about I save some fat for you?"
She made a stew of pork with more fat than lean meat, all big chunks of meat, so greasy that it frightened her to look at it.
Mother Wen looked over and was immediately horrified. "This is too greasy. I don't want it. Send it all to your grandfather and the others."
"That's fine!"
Two pounds of meat were cooked, and only one pound of meat would be stewed at most, so the remaining one pound was enough for the mother and daughter to eat.
So, Yi Chizhi didn't say anything else, but took the dishes and went to the cowshed through the back door with Wen's mother.
Then, the old man scolded her for not knowing how to live.
"You're such a jerk! How can anyone cook two pounds of meat in one sitting?"
"The work is tiring, and I need to replenish my energy."
Yi Chichi argued confidently, "Besides, we don't lack meat tickets."
Not to mention the tickets Wen Shi sent back every month, just the fixed tickets from the Friendship Store every month and the tickets from the commune every now and then were enough for her to have enough meat tickets to buy meat.
Seeing the old man open his mouth to continue, she became anxious, "Eat it when it's delivered. Your health is the capital of the revolution. It's not like you can't afford it. It's not worth your worrying so much."
The old man opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to start because Wen's mother was there. He could only wave his hand helplessly, "Okay, I know, I will finish eating. You guys should go back and eat."
Wouldn’t it have been better if this had been done earlier?
Yi Chichi happily took Wen's mother's hand and went home. As she stepped out of the door, she reminded her mother, "Eat it up, don't leave any leftovers. It's hot and the food won't stay put and will go bad."
"knew."
So the two of them left with peace of mind.
When the mother and daughter sat together for dinner, Wen's mother couldn't help laughing when she thought of the old man's expression at that time, "Chi, do you know why your grandfather acted like that?"
"……have no idea."
She is not a worm in the old man's stomach, so how could she know?
"Why is he doing that?"
He didn't even bother to eat, his face full of curiosity.
Wen's mother smiled and said, "You're worried that I might feel uncomfortable."
I couldn't bear to talk about her, so I just said nothing.
Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"The old man is worrying too much."
It is indeed unnecessary worry, but I have to say that it is a good thing to worry about her, because I care about her and worry that she will suffer any loss.
"Your grandpa really cares about you."
Yi Chichi knew what was going on. She picked up some sweet and sour pork and gave it to Wen's mother. "Don't worry, Mom. I care about you too."
Wen's mother burst out laughing. She was afraid that her daughter would get jealous, so she tried to comfort her.
"No, just keep Wen Shi in your heart, otherwise I'm afraid he'll get jealous."
"Let him be jealous. He can be jealous of me."
When the man is not around, the mother-in-law is the boss.
Wen's mother was speechless, "You should eat."
After saying that, he fed her madly, telling her to eat more and then cover her ears with her mouth so she could have some peace and quiet.
Yi Chichi had no idea what Wen's mother was thinking, so she ate until she was full.
It was almost July and it was getting dark. Wen's mother didn't let her wash the dishes. Yi Chizhi, who was full and bored, walked around the house for a few times and decided to go out for a walk to help digest the food.
When she told Wen's mother about it, she said happily, "Go ahead and have fun."
"Okay!"
So, Yi Chichi strolled over to play with Liu Lan and the others.
As a result, Liu Lan, Zhou Qiuyu, Wang Nan and Ge Sujuan got together again. Because the child could run and jump, Bai Chen and Wu Yongfei took him to the Youth League Home to play.
The two from Liu Lan's family were also taken away.
Four people gathered together to cut hair, but their skills were not good enough and the hair was ruined.
Fortunately, they have a good understanding of their craft and left room for improvement, so there is still a lot of room for modification.
When Yi Chichi arrived, Ge Sujuan, who was staring at Zhou Qiuyu's hair with concern, immediately spoke up as if she had seen a savior, "Chichi, come and help Qiuyu trim her hair. It's not easy to tie it up at this length, and it doesn't look neat when it's hanging down."
Yi Chichi clicked his tongue and said, "How can they have the courage to cut hair when their hands are so clumsy?"
“It’s too hot in the fields.”
Wang Nan's face was sunburned. Yi Chichi took a pair of scissors and trimmed Qiuyu's hair while asking her, "You didn't wear a hat when you were working?"
"I wore it at first, but then it became too hot to bear, so I took it off."
"Don't take it off next time, no matter how hot it is. If you keep doing this a few more times, your face will be completely hopeless."
"Why is it that I can't be saved just by basking in the sun?"
When it comes to her own face, Wang Nan still cares a lot.
The same goes for Ge Sujuan and the others, because their faces aren't much better.
"Sun spots, damaged epidermis, pigmentation and other things can cause people to age quickly."
Not wanting their beautiful faces to be ruined by the sun, Yi Chichi explained in detail the importance of the face and how to take care of the skin.
Those who originally didn't think much of basking in the sun, when they heard this, looked at her face, and then compared it with their own faces, suddenly felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing their hearts, and a chill penetrated their bones.
"Can our faces be saved?"
Touching her face, Ge Sujuan looked worried.
Yi Chichi nodded, "Yes, you are still young, and your skin has a good ability to repair itself. Apply the ointment made by Uncle Yaozi, and be careful to avoid direct sunlight. It will recover after a while."
That's okay.
They have ointments. My face is so uncomfortable with cracking in winter, so I bought a lot.
The main thing is that what Uncle Yaozi sells is not expensive. It is cheaper than vanishing cream and more effective. I still have some left at home.
I originally thought that I would save it for winter when the weather gets hotter and my face stops cracking, but now I have to use it.
Soon, Qiuyu's hair was trimmed.
Yi Chi Chi cleaned up the loose hair on her neck and said, "Okay, who's next?"
"I'll do it."
Ge Sujuan took the lead and sat on the chair that Zhou Qiuyu had stood up to vacate. She also made a request, "Chi Chi, I want to change my hairstyle."
Yi Chi Chi looked at her face shape and said, "Okay, how about a short haircut for you?"
"good."
"But I've got to tell you, you can't blame me if the haircut is ugly."
"No complaints."
The requirements for a free barber cannot be too high, and Yi Chichi’s skills are guaranteed.
"I believe in your craftsmanship."
Yi Chichi smiled widely, "Okay, I'll do my best to give you a nice haircut."
Ge Sujuan gave her 100% trust, so she naturally had to give her 100% of her skills in return. (End of this chapter)
