Chapter 247 It’s not that easy to find a partner

"Auntie, I've finished my homework."

Qin Jiu put down his pen and turned to ask Yi Chichi, who was working hard in front of the embroidery frame, "Are you going to check now?"

"Leave it alone."

Yi Chichi didn't even raise her head. She didn't have time now and would wait until the panda's ears were embroidered.

"Take a break for half an hour and practice calligraphy."

"……it is good."

Very reluctantly.

Yi Chichi raised his eyes and looked over, "Don't want to practice?"

"The break was too short."

Whose child is like him? In school, the teacher entrusted him with important tasks, helping to manage more than a dozen classmates who were older than him.

Not only did Mr. Song and the others give him homework when he returned home, but his aunt also did not relax at all when it came to his studies.

Assign him thinking expansion questions, oral training courses, and practice calligraphy for Mathematical Olympiad questions. He is really busy.

Yi Chichi asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Is half an hour a short break?
It's not short at all, okay? After practicing calligraphy, today's task will be completed.

You can play happily.

However, Qin Jiu had different ideas from her. He pursed his lips and said cautiously, "Gu, Dundun and the others have made an appointment to have a snowball fight and build a snowman together."

Yi Chichi glanced out the window. The cold wind was blowing and the snowflakes were flying. Going out to play in this kind of weather...

Seeing Qin Jiu's expectant look, she smiled and nodded, "Go ahead and remember to put on your clothes."

"Great."

Qin Jiu cheered, grabbed the big cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers that had been warmed on the kang and put them on. Wen's mother turned around and saw that he was about to put on shoes, and quickly stopped him, "Xiaojiu, wait a minute."

"What's wrong, grandma?!"

"Put this on."

Wen's mother took out a pair of wool socks from the small basket next to the sewing machine and handed them over.

Thick wool socks look warm.

Qin Jiu moved his toes, said thank you to the old lady, took the woolen socks and put them on, put on some shoes, and ran towards the door cheering like a wild horse running loose.

Wen's mother got up and followed behind, Yi Chichi had a black question mark face.

Xiaojiu went out to play in the snow and have a snowball fight. What was her mother-in-law going to do?
After asking, I found out that she was going to stew meat.

Yi Chichi's eyes lit up, "Stewed braised pork?"

"Stewed Meat."

Wen's mother looked at her, "Do you want to eat?"

"eat!"

The meat is also delicious. As a traditional local delicacy in Xuzhou, the meat is famous for being fat but not greasy, and rich in flavor.

It can also be paired with kelp knots and tiger eggs. With side dishes such as baby greens and rice, the taste is truly amazing.

"Mom, get some tiger eggs and put some cabbage leaves in them."

"Don't you want kelp?"

When I heard about it, I sent a lot of seaweed back, as well as seaweed, dried shrimps, dried small fish and the like.

All can be put in.

"It's okay if you want it, or if you don't want it."

Yi has always loved eating kelp, which is a dispensable existence.

Wen's mother nodded, "I'll let it go."

As she spoke, she went out, and Yi Chichi heard her telling Qin Jiu to just play nearby and not run too far.

Qin Jiu's vague reply came, and then there was no sound outside. Seeing this, Yi stopped paying attention to what was going on outside. Instead, he took out a piece of silk thread and split it. After threading it, he entered an immersive working state again.

Snowflakes were flying outside the window, and needlework was flying indoors. As the needlework was interspersed on the originally blank silk, the outline of a black ear appeared.

The outline is then gradually filled in.

At this moment, the cotton door curtain was opened, and the biting chill rushed in. Yi was stimulated to come back from his immersive working state. He raised his eyes and thought that Wen's mother had come in. He was about to call his mother when he burst into view. The person asked her to swallow the title that came to her mouth and changed it to——

"Why are you coming here at this time?"

"Give me shoes."

Wang Nan strode over and handed her the bundle in his hand.

Yi did not rush to answer, but asked her to sit down. Just when he was about to get up and pour her a cup of hot water to warm her body, Wen Mu came with a steaming cup.

"Drink some brown sugar water to warm yourself up."

She handed the cup to Wang Nan, and after she took it with both hands, she smiled and said, "You two chat, I'm going to get busy."

"Okay auntie, thank you auntie."

Wang Nan politely thanked her and watched her mother leave. She took a sip of the sweet brown sugar water from the cup and sighed with satisfaction before saying, "Chi Chi, your mother-in-law is so generous."

"In addition to being generous, my mother-in-law is also kind and beautiful."

When she praised her mother-in-law, Yi Chichi was unequivocal. The most correct decision she made was not to join the army after marrying Wenshi, but to stay in Kaoshantun.

Wen's mother is really nice. She is educated and reasonable, not feudal and open-minded. She doesn't encourage children. She is also so diligent that I want to wash her underwear.

That is to say, she insists on washing her underwear and socks herself, otherwise she really doesn’t need to touch the water except for brushing her teeth and washing her face.

She swept the floor with a broom, worrying that her hands would become rough and delay her embroidery.

If she really lives with the army in the family area, her life may not be as comfortable as it is now.

Wang Nan looked at the comfortable smile on her face and said with some envy, "Seeing how comfortable you are, I almost want to get married."

Yi Chichi said, "???Do you have a partner?"

"No."

"Find a partner first and then talk about getting married."

The corner of Wang Nan's mouth twitched, and the target was not that easy to find.

but--

"What do you think of Lao Bai?!"

Yi Chichi looked serious, "Are you attracted to Bai Chen?"

Wang Nan hesitated and said, "It's not me who has a crush on Lao Bai, it's Lao Bai who has a crush on me."

As she spoke, she explained what happened in detail.

In fact, it's not complicated. To sum it up in a few sentences, after the autumn harvest, Bai Chen received a letter from his family asking for money.

It was said that his second brother was getting married, and the woman asked for three turns and one ring, as well as a bride price of 200 yuan.

As for his second brother, he is determined to marry that girl, and he will die if he is not allowed to marry her.

Normally, parents with many children at home will not be threatened by others. After all, if one person dies, there will be several more, but I can't stand the fact that Bai Chen's second brother has a sweet mouth and looks like his mother. He grabs his mother's heart tightly. He is really a heartless person. Meat baby.

For the sake of her beloved second son, Bai Chen forced the whole family to find a solution together.

However, this solution was difficult to come up with. The whole family only managed to collect a bicycle and a watch. The sewing machine and radio were nowhere to be found, and the dowry gift of 200 yuan was also nowhere to be found.

Therefore, Bai Chen, who had been forgotten for a long time and seemed to have no such person in the Bai family, was remembered.

A letter came from the Bai family, asking Bai Chen to find a way to collect two hundred yuan to send it back. This is no different from forcing Bai Chen to die.

Although Bai Chen, who had been heartbroken by the Bai family, had long since stopped thinking about the Bai family, he still couldn't help but feel sad when he received such a letter unexpectedly.

In the dead of night, squatting next to the toilet and smoking...

"and many more,"

Hearing this, Yi couldn't help but interrupt Wang Nan and wondered, "Why is Lao Bai squatting next to the toilet and smoking?"

The front and back yards of the Educated Youth Home were as big as any, so he could squat anywhere he wanted. The toilet smelled so bad that the smell of cigarette smoke couldn't be covered, so he didn't mind the discomfort in his nose.
