Chapter 383 I Dare Not Lend It to You
Then--

"Xiao Wen hasn't sent any telegrams or letters yet?"

Yi Chichi was also worried when this topic was brought up, "No."

After entering October, she could still comfort herself that Wen Shi was busy and might be leading the team for sea training or going out to sea. When he came back and saw the letter, he would definitely reply or send a telegram.

As a result, it is now the end of November and we are about to enter December, but there is still no news from him.

When she thought about the naval battle in January 84, she began to feel uneasy.

"Grandpa, I'm a little worried."

"worry about what?"

Yi Chichi didn't dare to say it too bluntly. Besides, it was useless to say it. Given the old man's and the others' current situation, knowing it would only add to their troubles.

So, she chose to attack in a roundabout way.

"Grandpa, what is your impression of the people in the south?"

"Which south?"

Several people cast inquiring glances at her.

Yi Chichi dipped his finger in water and wrote two words on the table on the kang. The old man and the others immediately looked disgusted.

I was about to say that I didn't have a very good impression of her, but then I thought of what she said, so I swallowed the words and changed them to -

"Are you worried that something might happen to Xiao Wen?"

It's not a worry, it will definitely happen.

Moreover, there was not much time left before the accident happened.

But she couldn't say that, so she could only sigh, "In September, XXX Island was included in their territory. Do you remember this news?!"

"Remember!"

It would be strange if they didn't remember it. When the news came out, they were almost angry to death after learning about it through newspapers and radio.

"Are they causing trouble again?"

Old Mrs. Song asked angrily.

Yi Chichi shook his head, "I haven't received any relevant information from the newspapers or the radio, but since they have been included in the territory, I think this matter must not be allowed to pass like this."

"We definitely can't go there like this. The island is ours, and we can't give up an inch of it."

The old man probably knew what she was worried about, so he could only comfort her after expressing his position, "Don't worry too much. What is coming cannot be avoided. Just wait patiently for the news from Wen Shi."

Yi Chi Chi's forehead was covered with black lines, "Grandpa, you are not suitable for comforting people."

The old man smiled bitterly, "I am a rough guy and I have never learned how to comfort people."

That makes sense.

Old Lady Song and the others laughed, and Uncle Ye said something shocking, "If you are really worried, ask your captain uncle to issue a visit permit so you can go over there."

By the way, I'll see what's going on and tell them when I get back.

Yi Chichi's heart was shamefully moved. He was also a man of action. He got off the kang and put on his shoes while saying, "I'm going to the commune."

"??? What are you going to the commune for?"

"Send a telegram to my sister-in-law next door to find out the situation."

No, she had to go there in person.

The old man and the others were silent for a moment and thought it was okay.

"Go slowly on the road, be careful not to fall."

"I'll pull the sledge."

It is impossible to ride a bicycle. If she rides a bicycle in this kind of weather, she will fall down and get knocked unconscious before she even reaches the commune, and she will be frozen silly.

"Remember to tell your mother-in-law first."

So as not to worry my mother-in-law.

Yi Chichi nodded, indicating that he understood.

When she got home and told her mother about it, her mother's first reaction was to touch her forehead. Yi Chichi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I didn't say anything nonsense."

His speech was clear and his eyes were bright, which certainly didn't look like he was confused due to burns.

Mother Wen felt relieved and took back her hand, saying, "Then go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you can return."

"okay."

Yi Chichi armed himself, took the money and tickets, grabbed a small mattress, and ran to borrow a sled from Grandpa Liu.

When Mr. Liu learned her purpose, he tapped his pipe and said, "I dare not lend it to you. You don't even know how to play."

"I can learn." Hearing the noise, Liu Lan came out with a baby on her back and another baby in her chest. She just happened to hear her words and said with a frown on her forehead, "It will take a while to learn this thing."

As she said that, she looked at Grandpa Liu and said, "Grandpa, how about you take the trouble to send Chi Chi off for a while?"

Uncle Liu took a puff of his pipe and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't send it."

It was too late, and the two little girls finished talking.

Yi Chichi was happy, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu. I'll treat you to filter cigarettes when we get to the commune."

"Okay, old man is waiting for your cigarette."

Grandpa Liu got up to tie the dog to the sled. Yi Chichi went to Liu Lan to check on the children and found that both of them were asleep. He wondered, "They were both asleep, why didn't you put them on the kang and hold them?"

Liu Lan looked desperate. "I'm used to being held by my mom and her friends. I'll cry if I'm put on the kang. I'll wait until they fall asleep before putting me down."

Before he finished speaking, the two kids opened their eyes and cried at the same time.

Yi Chichi, "...They woke up."

"Ah."

Liu Lan felt hopeless and began to sway her body from side to side. The two kids whimpered and closed their eyes.

Yi Chichi, "!!!"

My goodness, Liu Lan thinks of herself as a human rocking chair.

"you……"

"Chi girl, let's go."

Just as I started talking, Uncle Liu came over on a sled. Well, business is more important, so I can only talk about the kids next time.

"Lanlan, I'm leaving first. We can talk again when you come to my house."

"I'll go tomorrow."

Taking care of children is not a job suitable for her. She should just finish the two embroidery works and earn money, and then pay her mother and the others.

"it is good."

Yi Chichi responded and got on the sled carrying her mattress.

Uncle Liu shouted, "Go!" and the four hounds immediately took action, pulling the sled forward.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, an old man and a young man arrived at the post office.

Five minutes later, Yi Chichi walked out without any incident.

"Grandpa, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Uncle Liu, "...are you really going to buy cigarettes for me?"

“I mostly buy other things.”

"That's fine."

So, the old man and the young man went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

Yi Chichi asked the old man to go in with him, but he refused, saying that he wanted to look after his sled and dog.

It is not easy to raise a few good hunting dogs, but we cannot let them be stolen and eaten as dog meat.

There was no other way, Yi Chichi could only go in and go straight to the destination by himself. After buying everything he needed, he went to the tobacco and alcohol counter, bought Daqianmen cigarettes and wine, and gave a pack to the old man when he went out.

"Your."

"Just give me one to satisfy my craving."

The old man took down the front door, took out a cigarette, lit it, and threw the rest to her.

Yi Chi Chi naturally couldn't take it, so he returned it, "Please take it, otherwise I won't dare to bother you next time if I have any problem."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man withdrew his hand that was trying to refuse and took the cigarette.

"Call me next time you come to the commune."

"must."

She can't ride a bike unless it's spring.

It’s still early for spring, so I have to coax the old man, otherwise I’d feel embarrassed to bother him.

"Sit down, wrap up your mattress, and we're going back."

The old man handed her the mattress. Yi Chichi said "oh" and took it, wrapped herself up, and signaled to the old man that she could go back.

Then the sled went back along the same path.

If he wanted to go back, he had to pass by the post office. Yi Chichi calculated the time and thought that if Ji Jian had received a telegram, nearly an hour would be enough for her to send a reply.

So I decided to ask.
