Chapter 372 You'd better go

"it is good."

Yi Chichi nodded and asked Qin Jiu if he wanted to go together. After hearing that no, he wanted to accompany Daju and the others, he carried the rabbit to his grandfather's place.

The sun is fine today, and it doesn't feel hot even when it shines directly on people. The old man and his team have been busy harvesting with the main force, and they are also very tired.

But they can't sit still.

When Yi Chichi arrived, Old Mrs. Song was mending clothes and the old man and his friends were weeding the vegetable garden.

At the beginning of spring, the team allowed the old man and his friends to start a vegetable garden. Uncle Ye, as the main laborer, worked diligently to cultivate the land.

Perhaps because of his military experience, the vegetable garden he opened was like a chessboard, with one piece of land divided into several small plots, and each plot was neatly laid out.

The radishes, cabbages and other vegetables grown are also arranged very neatly, which is very friendly to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Yi Chichi felt comfortable every time he watched it, and this time was no exception.

After calling everyone, she squatted by the vegetable patch, picked a persimmon as she was familiar with the place, washed it, and started to eat it happily.

The old man turned around and glanced at the rabbit she brought. "You want to skin it again?"

"Yes."

She nodded and said, "Grandpa, who of you can peel it and cook it for dinner."

"Xiao Ye, you go."

They said in unison, all eyes fell on Ye Yuntang, who was still young and strong.

He said "oh", put down his hoe, walked over, picked up the rabbit, took a look, and said with emotion, "The color of the skin is not very good."

Yi Chichi didn't care, "As long as it's warm enough, it's fine."

As for whether the fur color is mixed or not, she does not consider it.

The family has accumulated nearly twenty rabbit skins of various sizes. They may not be enough to make clothes, but they are enough to make knee pads and gloves for the old man to share.

"Are you waiting here?"

"wait."

By the way, let's see if I can learn a few tricks.

As a result, the cruel reality taught her that skinning a rabbit is a technical job that requires courage. She felt a little scared when seeing the rabbit meat exposed during the skinning process.

But rabbit meat is delicious, which also caused her facial expression to become a little distorted.

The corner of Ye Yuntang's mouth twitched, "What are you thinking about."

This look of three parts disgust, three parts pity and four parts greed made his scalp tingle.

“It feels a bit cruel to skin a rabbit.”

Ye Yuntang opened his mouth and was about to retort, but Yi Chichi said, "You have to make something delicious, otherwise it will be a shame for it to come to this world."

"...Girl, you better go."

Don't keep squatting here. It affects his work and his mood.

"Ok."

Yi Chichi turned around and left. She couldn't skin the rabbit, so she decided to go help her grandfather and the others weed.

The result was rejected.

The reason was that her hands, which were good at embroidery, could not do rough work.

Besides, the vegetable garden is not big and they have almost finished weeding it, so she is really of no use.

Helplessly, Yi Chichi could only help the old lady with needlework.

I was not rejected this time. In the words of Old Mrs. Song, this is called professional matching.

Then, Yi Chichi, who was a professional in the field, sewed the remaining pieces of clothing at an extraordinary speed.

The stitches are fine and the patches are neatly done.

Seeing this, Old Lady Song sighed repeatedly, "You young people have good eyesight."

"I use my eyes a lot, so I pay attention to protecting and exercising them."

Embroiderers use their eyes a lot and their eyes can be damaged easily if they do not pay attention to maintenance and exercise.

The habit she cultivated since childhood made her consciously practice no matter where she was born, even if she didn't need to sit in front of the embroidery frame that day.

Her eyesight has always been good. She used scissors to cut off the thread ends and asked, "Are there any left? If there are, bring them all out so I can fix them together."

"Have."

The old lady stood up and said, "I stuffed some cotton into two of my cotton-padded jackets, but they weren't stuffed properly. Can you help me fix them?"

"it is good."

Soon, the old lady came out with two gray patched cotton jackets.

Yi Chichi took it and unfolded it to take a look. It belonged to Uncle Ye and Mr. Song.

Pinch it, the thickness is ok.

It is definitely not suitable to wear in the coldest days of winter, but this is a small jacket that you wear when the temperature drops. There are also big cotton-padded jackets when it is the coldest.

Therefore, Yi Chichi did not say that it was a bit thin and asked to stuff some more cotton in it. Instead, he checked everything, found the place to stuff the cotton, flattened the cotton and sewed it up.

To ensure that the cotton would not run, she used flat stitches, with the stitches being fine, tight and smooth.

After sewing, Old Lady Song picked it up, looked at it, and praised, "This stitch is very good."

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "You said that my major is suitable for me. If I don't do it well, I will be embarrassed."

That’s right, as a person, don’t compare your own weaknesses with those of professionals, otherwise you will only be the one who embarrasses yourself.

However, after taking a look at what she had sewn, she couldn't help but complain, "Compared to what you sew, what I sew is unbearable to look at."

Before Yi Chichi could respond, Mr. Song began to comfort his wife.

"Nonsense, you sew very well too. I think you sew better than Chi Chi."

This is a typical lie, but what can be done? The old couple have supported each other for most of their lives and have never left each other, sharing the good and the bad. In the old man's heart, his wife is naturally the best.

So, Yi Chichi smiled and continued, “Grandpa Song is right, you sew better than me.”

The old lady laughed, "You two just know how to coax me."

Ye Yuntang, who came over with a skinned rabbit, smiled and said, "You should be grateful when someone coaxes you. You haven't coaxed us yet."

"A grown man doesn't need coaxing."

Yi Chichi said calmly and naturally, "Uncle, please help me chop the rabbit."

"Row."

So, Ye Yuntang ran to chop the rabbit.

By the time he finished chopping the cloth, Yi Chichi had finished mending the other cotton jacket.

Seeing this, Ye Yuntang handed over the rabbit meat and said, "It will take a while for the rabbit skin to be ready. Come back and get it when it's ready."

"Ah."

Yi Chi Chi, who had been mentally prepared, didn't intend to take the rabbit skin back. She held the rabbit meat and said, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll come back in the evening."

As for what they came for, everyone knew it.

However, Yi Chichi broke his promise.

Because Yu Rutang and Chi Jiaojiao were here, the task of delivering rabbit meat and chicken soup had to be entrusted to Qin Jiu.

Yi Chichi warmly invited the two to have dinner together.

"We came here after we had eaten."

Yu Rutang quickly refused, then realized that they came at a wrong time and apologized, "How about we come later or tomorrow?"

"No, I'll eat it later."

Yi Chichi put down his chopsticks, said hello to Wen's mother, and led the two of them to her room.

Without the elders around, Chi Jiaojiao's sense of restraint instantly disappeared, and she became excited. "Quick, show me what my clothes look like."

Yi Chichi opened the closet and took out the clothes hanging on the hangers. Before he could say anything, Yu Rutang asked in confusion, "You also bought an electric iron?"

"Did not buy."

There were electric irons in that era, but they were rare. Yi Chichi had only seen them in Yangcheng, and had never seen them in Baoan Commune or the county.

When she came back from Guangzhou, she originally planned to buy one and bring it back, but it was too heavy and not cost-effective to mail it, so she chose to give up.

Instead, he used an old iron that looked like a pot and was quite useful.
