Chapter 503: Strong as a Bear
Yi Chichi was no longer surprised by his silly father's appearance. After he talked to himself for a while to emphasize how much his children loved him, he remembered something.
"Were you picking up new recruits when you went to Yangcheng to pick them up before?"
"no."
He shook his head and didn't tell me the details of those people. He just said calmly, "Why do you think of asking this?"
"I see they're wearing Army uniforms."
Wen Shi was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "I haven't had time to change clothes yet."
Not wanting to continue on this topic, he asked about the powder.
"Can it be done before the New Year?"
"It will be fine in a few days."
The old man was very interested in the enhanced version of the powder. At first, he was willing to let her help him. Later, he didn't want her to do it anymore and took charge of it himself.
The reason is very reasonable. She is now in the late stage of pregnancy and it is not good for her health to come into contact with too many medicinal herbs.
So, she became a person with nothing to do.
However, when necessary, the old man would call me to discuss the proportion issue.
"Or should I just give it to you directly?"
"Did a lot?"
"It's not a lot, but Grandpa Zhang helped me buy three servings."
"How much is a serving?"
"Two pounds!"
Three servings equal six pounds, and the amount per person is fifty grams...
He calculated silently in his mind, "First, give me three pounds of medicine. I'll send the rest to the medical team. Anyone who wants it can go to the doctor for a prescription."
Yi Chichi had an idea in his mind.
"Okay, I'll pack them up and give them to you when the time comes. You can arrange the rest as you wish."
There was no use for her to hold the powder. After all, she had no chance to stay in a dark and enclosed space for a long time, and it was impossible for her crotch to be rotten.
So, it’s a good idea to let Wen Shi distribute it.
So, this topic ends here.
Time flies and it is mid-December. The package from Beijing finally arrives.
The eldest daughter received several packages. Not only did her grandfather send her things, but Grandpa Song and others also sent her some.
The eight Beijing items, milk powder, malted milk, White Rabbit and Meilin canned food are indispensable every time.
Next are books and painting tools.
In addition, there are foreign exchange coupons, industrial tickets, food tickets and the like.
All packed in an envelope, bulging.
As soon as the envelope was torn open, the bills fell out.
Wen's mother, who had just returned from the sea with a smile on her face, saw the falling bill and her eyes suddenly widened. She then rushed in quickly and slammed the door shut.
The vision in front of him suddenly became dark. Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, your reaction is too extreme."
"Don't show off your wealth."
Wen's mother rolled her eyes at her as if facing a formidable enemy, extremely dissatisfied with her carelessness. "You are such a fool! Even though this bill is not money, it is so large that it makes people jealous, don't you know?"
The implication is: It’s better to be on guard.
Yi Chichi nodded obediently, "Okay, Mom, you're right."
She bent down to pick up the bill, but Wen's mother rushed over and said, "Don't move, I'll pick it up."
It must be so uncomfortable to bend over with such a big belly.
Yi Chichi uttered an "oh" and turned back to continue unpacking. Before he finished, Wen's mother handed him the envelope and said, "Take it and keep it."
"Mom, keep it. You're the one who goes to the service center department store now. If I take it and you need it, you have to come to me. It's troublesome."
That's true.
So, Wen's mother put the ticket away.
"Why are you sending clothes?"
When she came back, Yi Chichi was taking out a coat from the package. It was a bright red cashmere coat. The fabric and style showed that it was exported by overseas Chinese stores and then sold domestically.
"Grandma Song bought it."
The sender of this package was the Song couple. She put the coat away and continued to search, taking out another coat, the same long coat, navy blue, but not cashmere, but woolen fabric.
The style is great, double-breasted and classic.
“This one looks good.”
Wen's mother praised it highly, "It looks more low-key than the red one."
The red coat is too bright. It is too ostentatious to wear on a daily basis unless it is a special occasion. It is not suitable for the current environment.
Yi Chichi stuffed the clothes into her hands and said, "This is yours, so you have to be low-key."
Mother Wen was shocked as she held the clothes in her hands. "This isn't yours?"
"Grandma Song bought this for you. Thank you for taking care of her when you were in Kaoshantun!"
Worried that Wen's mother wouldn't believe her, she showed her the letter written by Grandma Song, "It's all written there. This one is bought according to your size."
Mother Wen picked up the clothes and looked around, helplessly, "This is too thick, it can't fit here."
"The temperature will be lower during the Lunar New Year period, so you can wear it."
They just can't be worn for a few days, even though they are located in the northern part of the island and the temperature is lower than in the south, but not much lower.
But you can wear a coat.
Wen's mother said "oh" and turned around to start preparing return gifts for grandpa and the others.
This is a man of action and doesn't like to owe favors to others.
She must return a gift as quickly as possible after receiving it, otherwise she won’t be able to sleep well at night.
So, after reading the letters written by several people, helping to put everything in order and keeping the shells picked up from the sea in water to spit out the sand, she took the money and tickets and went out.
"Chichi, you stay home. I'm going to the market!"
"……good."
As soon as Wen's mother left, Yang Qing arrived. The first thing he said was, "Auntie, you just came back from the sea, why are you out again?"
"Something."
Yi Chi didn't elaborate, and Yang Qing didn't ask any more questions. She invited him, "I'm going next door. Do you want to come?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Borrow Ji Jian's sewing machine."
The two were talking at the door. Ji Jian's house and Yi Chichi's house were separated by a hibiscus fence wall, which was not soundproof at all.
Ji Jian, who came out to pour water, heard it and said angrily, "You don't even want to call me sister-in-law now, right?!"
"Before, I called you sister-in-law and you said I called you old. Now I call you by your name and you complain that I don't call you sister-in-law. Why are you so difficult?"
Yang Qing was even more dissatisfied than her. Yi Chichi saw Ji Jian's stunned expression and asked, "Did I say such a thing?"
"I did!"
Yi Chichi raised his hand, "I can testify that I said that when I knew that you and Yang Qing were only a few months apart."
That was all last year.
Ji Jian, "...Okay, my bad. I need to borrow the sewing machine, come quickly, I have to go to work later."
I see, it's another late shift.
Yang Qing didn't want to delay her night shift, so she took the cut cloth and pushed aside the hibiscus fence and walked through, with Yi Chichi following closely behind.
Then, she and Ji Jian frowned as they looked at the cloth that Yang Qing had cut.
"Did you cut this yourself?"
Ji Jian picked up a piece of cloth and asked her.
Yang Qing was adjusting the needle of the sewing machine. Hearing the sound, he nodded, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"For your husband Huang?"
"No, I made this for my brother. He's getting married and has no new clothes to wear. My family can't get enough cloth coupons, so I sent a telegram to him."
No wonder the size is obviously wrong.
but--
"How tall is your brother?"
Yang Qing's face wrinkled, a look of worry on his face. "Don't say that, he grows taller no matter what he eats. He keeps growing taller. When I came here, he was 185cm tall, and a few years later, he's 193cm tall, and he's still barefoot. He would be taller if he wore shoes."
"He's as strong as a bear. My mom says his arms are thicker than my dad's legs. Because he's too tall and strong, he's never been able to find a partner. Every time I tell someone about him, the first thing the girl thinks is that he's too expensive and can't be married."
