We played too hard in the evening and heard that a little kid wet the bed.
Fortunately, it was hot now and there was a straw mat on the bed. I heard that the little boy was wearing a bellyband and was naked, so it was not a big deal if he peed.
Just change the mat and wipe his butt.
After finishing, Yi Chichi held him and slept until dawn.
After breakfast the next day, she left Wen Yi at home to be taken care of by Wen's mother, and she took the malted milk, dried seafood and other items that Wen's mother had packed to send to Wang Nan and others and hung them on her bicycle, then went out to pick up Mr. Zhang.
"Grandpa Zhang, I'm going to the post office. Do you want to go now?"
"I want to go."
Before Mr. Zhang could say anything, He An, who heard the voice, ran out of the house to her with his short legs swinging, and smiled like a flower with his chubby little face tilted up.
"Aunt, take me!"
"If Grandpa agrees, I'll take you!"
"Take her with you."
"Grandpa will take you."
He An exclaimed, "Grandpa, are you going too?"
"yes."
Mr. Zhang pushed his bicycle out and patted her little seat behind the seat. "Come on, let's go to the post office."
"You go on your own, Aunt. Grandpa and I will sit down."
"good."
So, an old man and a young man took a little kid, rode a 28-bar bicycle out of the family quarters gate, and went straight to the post office.
There were huge crowds of people, some sending parcels, and some queuing up to make phone calls.
The two of them divided the work, Yi Chichi went to send the package, and the old man took the phone number she gave him to register and queue up to wait for the call.
Half an hour later, Yi Chizhi's package had been sent out, and the telegram to his grandfather had been sent. Finally, it was the old man who had been waiting in line to make a phone call.
It is very troublesome to make phone calls nowadays. The operator needs to pass the call through one level at a time. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get through even after waiting for a long time.
To make a long-distance call, especially from an island to the Northeast, you need to first connect to Yangcheng, then from Yangcheng to a telephone exchange in Beijing, then from Beijing to a bureau in Heilongjiang Province, and finally to Kaoshantun.
If any of the lines are busy, the call will be unavailable.
But the old man was very lucky. The call was transferred very smoothly and it went through in one go without him having to wait.
The captain answered the phone. When he learned that Yi Chi Chi was looking for Mu Da, he smiled and said, "You're lucky. Xiao Mu is on vacation today. Wait, I'll go call her."
Yi Chichi responded with a "OK".
Then, she heard the captain uncle shouting Xiao Mu at the top of his voice. Uncle Yaozi's home was not far from the brigade headquarters, so he responded as soon as he was called, so Mu Da came quickly.
"Chichi, why did you think of calling?"
"I'll ask Grandpa Zhang to check your health."
Phone bills are expensive these days, so I really can’t afford to chat with my family.
So, after Yi Chichi briefly stated his purpose, he handed the microphone to the old man.
The two medical experts were communicating with each other while she waited at the door holding He An.
But his attention was always on the old man's face.
She was not good at medicine, but she was good at observing people's expressions. From the old man's facial expression, she realized that Muda's condition was better than they expected.
Because the old man's facial expression changed from serious to solemn, then from solemn to relaxed, and finally from relaxed to smiling.
The frown on his face was completely relaxed.
Five minutes later, the old man hung up the phone and asked how much it cost.
Yi Chichi rushed over holding He An and said, "I'll pay."
Asking the old man for help can't make him pay the phone bill.
The old man is a good person and he didn’t give me any hard work pay.
Therefore, the old man must not be asked to pay for this phone bill.
After paying the bill and coming out, she sighed, "This phone bill is really expensive."
The old man nodded in agreement. "It is indeed expensive, mainly because of the transfer fee."
This is true. Nowadays, you have to pay for every call you make without transferring the call.
I really miss the communications from the later generations.
Unfortunately, we still have to wait for that day to arrive.
Just as he was about to leave, the staff suddenly called out, "Comrade Yi, there's a telegram for you."
She said "oh" and ran in to get the telegram. It was from her grandfather. It mentioned the date Qin Jiu would come and asked her whether she was going to the capital.
Yi Chichi, “…”
It seems that this trip to the capital must be made, otherwise my grandfather will come here in person to arrest people.
That's fine. When Qin Jiu returns, she will take her mother-in-law and children to the capital.
After folding the telegram and putting it in her pocket, she looked at the grandfather and grandson and asked, "Do you want to go shopping in the department store?"
"go!"
He An raised his little hand and responded enthusiastically, "Grandpa, buy me a tin frog."
"Where's your frog from before?"
The old man looked confused. He An grinned, "Dad took it to play with, and it disappeared."
These words left both the old and the young speechless.
But this is something He Yunsong can do.
He must have taken it to play with, and when it broke he didn't dare take it home because he couldn't repair it, so he just told the little girl it was lost to prevent her from crying.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
The old man was a good grandfather who doted on his children. He decisively took He An and Yi Chizhi to the department store.
Then, the three of them went shopping.
Yi Chichi bought Huili shoes for Wen's mother and Jiefang shoes for Wen Shi. Seeing that there were cotton socks, she bought ten pairs each for men and women. The fabrics were also new, so she bought some cotton fabric.
I plan to go back and make two sets of small clothes for Wen Yi, and two vests for Wen Shi.
This guy is so tired of wearing his vest. I don’t know how he wears it. There are holes here and there and the threads are coming apart there. He needs to change it frequently.
I finished it and came back from the sea just in time to change it.
It's simply perfect.
When the old man saw her buying cloth, he followed suit and bought some cotton cloth with small floral patterns, saying that he wanted to make a little skirt for He An.
Yi Chichi, "??? You won't buy it for Xiaoxin?"
"She doesn't need it. She can buy it herself."
The old man is also single and he complained bluntly, "I bought her clothes and fabrics before, but she thought I had poor taste and everything I bought was ugly, so she told me not to waste money."
"I don't think Grandpa is ugly, Grandpa is the most beautiful!"
He An, who was obedient and omits words, raised his little hand and patted his grandfather to comfort him.
The content of the words is so funny that it makes people laugh and cry.
"I understand. Our An An is the best."
But the old man was impressed by her and was overjoyed by the compliment. He turned around and said to Yi Chichi, "Can you draw a little skirt for An An?"
"OK."
One piece is for making, two pieces are for making too, Yi Chichi simply took the job of making a little skirt for He An.
She went home and busied herself with cutting it, then went next door to borrow a sewing machine from Ji Jian, and delivered the little skirt to the He family in the evening.
He Yunsong was extremely grateful for this and paid for the labor.
Yi Chichi's face fell, "Old He, are you going to slap me in the face, or do you dislike Wen Shi and want to break off your friendship with him?"
He Yunsong was so frightened that he shuddered. "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"Will you pay me back for my work?"
"No."
He shook his head like a rattle, and he didn't dare to give it, for fear that Yi Chichi would give him two injections.
"If you want to give it to me, I can go home and count how much you bought for Yi Yi, and then convert it..."
"Sister, I was wrong. Please, let's keep it to ourselves, okay? There won't be a next time, okay? If you keep arguing with me like this, Lao Wen will beat me up when he comes back."
He Yunsong wanted to kneel down to her. He and Wen Shi had no relationship at all. If things really came to this, they would no longer be brothers.
Too strange! (End of this chapter)
