Going to the countryside in the Northeast, educated youths became popular in the village with embroi

Chapter 259: Mutual praise in business
"Gummy candy, a big piece of candy, it tastes sweet when you eat it..."

Loud shouts resounded through the loudspeaker over Kaoshantun. Yi Chichi, who was shoveling snow with a shovel at the door and was sweating from the heat, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the brigade headquarters.

"Mom, why is the captain calling this?"

It snowed so much at night that I got up in the middle of the night to sweep away the snow. When I woke up, the roof had not collapsed, but the door was blocked.

She was very tired from shoveling snow, so she just wanted to have a chat and take a rest.

"Tell the children in the village to go to the brigade headquarters to get candies."

Wen's mother sat on the pony and prepared the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the sound and replied.

Yi Chichi, a black man with a question mark face, is there still such an activity in the village?

When I asked, I found out that they were all there originally, mainly to let the children have a happy New Year.

However, due to the poor harvest in the previous year, when the public grain was handed over to the team, there was only one grain, and the remaining grain stock was too small to withstand being used to make sugar.

We had to prevent anyone from borrowing food if they didn't have enough food to eat, so this activity was suspended for two years.

Until this year, the amount of grain stored in the warehouse of the team was still considerable. After discussion, the cadres of the brigade decided to resume the previous custom.

"It's a good custom. The children must be very happy."

She praised.

My mother laughed when I heard it, "No, in the past when there was nothing to eat, the children would look forward to the New Year."

There are plenty of delicious food, and even greedy adults won’t be angry.

I usually spank my children when I have free time, but I don’t feel like spanking my children during the Chinese New Year.

The most important thing is that during the Chinese New Year, the team will give out sweets to children. Although the amount is not large, it is enough for the children to save for ten days and a half.

"The group headquarters must be very lively now."

As she said that, Wen's mother asked her, "Do you want to join in the fun?"

"Do not……"

Yi Chi, who subconsciously wanted to refuse, remembered something, "Mom, what are big pieces of candy?"

She had never heard of this candy before today and didn't know if it was delicious.

Wen's mother was stunned by her question and then said, "Your name is Ma Tang over there in Linshi."

Yi Chichi instantly lost interest in going to the brigade headquarters to join in the fun. She had not liked sesame candy since she was a child, and it made her teeth sticky and tasted a bit weird.

"I'd better shovel the snow."

Halfway through shoveling, Brother Liu and the others appeared in front of the courtyard with shovels, "Sister, do you want to help?"

Yi Chi looked at the almost plowed yard and refused.

"I don't need it here. If you see who needs help, go quickly."

"okay!"

There are several households without labor in the village. It is common for young people in the village to help clean the roof before snowfall, organize firewood piles, and block the door to help clear the snow after snowfall.

Therefore, as soon as Yi Chichi refused, Brother Liu and the others left with their shovels.

During the busy period, the children came in groups to pay New Year greetings.

Wen's mother and Yi Chichi brought twists, melon seeds, candies, etc. out to entertain them, and sent away waves of children.

After Niuniu finished her auspicious words, Yi Chichi looked at the bulging little satchel on her body and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Niuniu, you are so smart, you even know how to carry a satchel."

The little girl with two sky-high braids and a red headband grinned and said cutely, "I didn't bring a backpack last year. I was tired from running."

Indeed, last year the little girl didn’t bring a backpack, so her pockets were full after running to two houses, and she had to go home to put her things away.

In Aunt Ma's words, after running around the whole village, the little girl's legs were all thin.

"Who made your backpack?"

Yi Chichi asked her with a smile. He grabbed the candy and put it in her bag. The little girl was holding the bag of her bag, so proud that her pigtails were shaking. "Mom, you even embroidered little flowers for me."

As he spoke, he pointed to the embroidery for her to see. Yi Chichi nodded and praised, "The embroidery is so beautiful. Our little girl is the prettiest."

"Auntie is the most beautiful."

This is a little girl who knows how to brag in business. When she heard this, she raised her little face and praised her sincerely, "She's prettier than Niuniu."

Just then, a scent wafted over.

She shrugged her little nose and said it smelled good.

Yi Chichi knew where the fragrance came from and said with a smile, "Grandma is making delicious food. Do you want to eat it, Niuniu?"

The little girl's eyes lit up. She was about to nod in agreement, but then she remembered what her grandma said before going out. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "If you don't want to eat it, my aunt will give you candy."

This means that if you want candy, you can’t ask for anything else.

Yi Chichi teased her and said it didn't matter, but he didn't want the child to unexpectedly abide by the rules set by her grandma. She refused to eat if she said she didn't want to, and told Yi Chichi that if she ate, grandma would spank her.

As a child, you can't be greedy, and you have to accept things when they are good.

So, she patted her small satchel and said, "Auntie, it's time for me to go to Aunt Niu's house next door."

"Are you really not going to leave until you have something to eat?"

"Don't eat."

She waved her little hand, and with firm steps called her brother Xiao Chengzi, who was eating melon seeds, to leave.

"Goodbye, aunt."

Xiao Chengzi waved to Yi Chichi and ran to chase her sister.

After Yi Chichi watched the brothers leave hand in hand, he turned back to the house to help Wen's mother cook. As soon as he finished two dishes, there was a shout from outside the door.

"Comrade Yi, are you at home?"

The voice of the postman Xiao Chang must have sounded like he was sending something.

"Here I am."

She quickly put down her work and ran out. She saw a sledge parked at the door, which was piled with packages. When Xiao Fang saw her coming out, she quickly waved to her, "Comrade Yi, come quickly. There are four packages and two packages for you." letter."

While talking, he took the list and asked Yi Chichi to sign it.

After the procedure was completed, he helped deliver the package to the house.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yi Chichi quickly grabbed two handfuls of candies and gave them to him, "Comrade Chang, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"

Until he refused, she added, "New year and new weather, you can't refuse the blessing candy."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chang could only swallow the rejection and said instead, "Thank you, thank you, and I also wish Comrade Yi and Auntie a Happy New Year!"

Then he took the candy and left, continuing to deliver the package.

After the others left, Yi finally had time to look at the package.

There were four packages, two of them were terrifyingly big, standing 1 meters high on the ground, and the remaining two packages were one medium and one small.

The small one is about the size of a satchel.

The places where they were mailed were also different. One of the two large packages came from the capital, and the other came from the island.

One is from the northwest, and the other is from the land of Sichuan and Sichuan.

The address of the package from the northwest is even more blurred.

Among the four packages, only the one from the island was sent by Wenshi. As expected, the rest should be sent to the old man and the others.

As for the two letters, one came from Wenshi. In addition to money and tickets, he also focused on how much he missed his wife and mother-in-law, asked them how they were doing at home, and told them not to treat themselves harshly just to save money, and to eat when they should. Drink, he can afford to support them.

At the end of the letter, he briefly wrote about his daily life, and then asked Yi Chi whether he would go to the island to visit relatives after spring. He missed her.

Although the recipient of the other letter was addressed to her, Yi Chichi knew that she was just the person delivering it on his behalf.

Since the sender's surname was Song, it was no surprise that the letter was sent by a relative or friend of Mrs. Song and his wife.
