Chapter 443 I Don’t Want to Stay

The two soldiers happily went to clean up the silt.

Yi Chichi looked at Wen Shi, who was dirty, had an untidy beard and bloodshot eyes, and her eyes turned red with heartache.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

When Wen Shi heard this, he wanted to pull his hand back, but he forgot that he was still holding the shovel and couldn't pull it back. He could only pretend to be calm and said, "I'm fine. I can't be hurt."

Yi Chichi's mouth twitched. Does this guy think she is blind?

If she can't see such an obvious movement, then she doesn't need these eyes.

"Show me your hands."

"…The skin is a little broken."

Wen Shi, who hadn't been able to hide it, saw her face darken, and he obediently stretched out his hand to show her.

Yi Chichi checked and found that it was indeed not serious. It was just an injury caused by a blood blister burst. Compared with his previous injuries, this one was not even a skin injury.

But it hurts!

She has experienced all too well the pain of blisters on the palms and the bursting of the blisters.

"Can we take a break now?"

If possible, treat it with your hand. Even though the wound is small, it would be no fun if it gets infected.

However, Wen Shi had no time to rest, and the reason he gave was very legitimate.

"We have to hurry up and clean up this area, and then help our fellow villagers rebuild their homes."

Many houses have collapsed, and living in tents every day is not a solution.

The folks need to make a living.

"Let me help you."

She reached out to grab the shovel, but Wen Shike was reluctant to let her go. "Go back, we'll be done soon. You'll distract me if you stay here."

At this time, Lao Li and his men were also chasing people away.

The reason given was more legitimate than Wen Shi's. There were children at home who needed the mother's care, and they were here.

So, in the end, Yi Chichi and the others who were unable to stay had to go home.

Five days later, Wen Shi and his men returned home after completing all the follow-up work. Their appearances were worse than each other. The originally quiet family compound became lively because of the men's return.

Yi Chichi and the others gathered together to wash clothes with brushes, and while chatting, they all expressed their heartache for their men.

"My husband Huang had a big scrape on his leg. It hurts just looking at it."

Hearing Yang Qing's words, Ji Jian sighed, "My old Li is not much better, his hands are full of blisters."

Yi hesitated to respond, but asked, "Have you dealt with them all?"

"It's dealt with. I'll deal with it when I get back."

Mrs. Lei answered on behalf of everyone else, and then asked her, "Is your Wen Shi injured?"

"The blisters on my hands healed and burst, then formed again."

At this point, she sighed, "I already had a lot of calluses, and now that I'm getting better, there are even more."

"You soften him up."

Ji Jian has experience in this area. She has seen Yi Chichi take care of her hands, and the results were remarkable after following the whole procedure.

"Use your hand ointment on him and let me see the effect. If it works, I'll ask you for some ointment to apply to my old Li as well."

My hands are so rough that it hurts to hold them.

When the baby is beaten, it hurts so much that he cries loudly.

Mrs. Lei's eyes lit up, "You still have such a good thing?"

Yi Chi Chi's mouth twitched. "I do embroidery, and my hands are very demanding. Without this thing to protect my hands, they won't be soft."

This is also true.

"Then when will you do it for your husband?"

"Why, I'm going to do it to him and you guys come to watch?"

"If you can."

"No."

Yi Chi Chi decisively refused, "Forget about the hand protection. I don't know how to remove calluses or soften Lao Wen's skin."

"What?"

"Don't you see their profession? Having calluses is a good thing for them."

She stretched out her hand to show them, "If they become as soft as I am, their hands will be in trouble. They will be covered with blisters and bloody wounds every day. Don't you feel sorry for them?" After she said this, everyone fell silent.

Yi Chichi teased them, "Are you still doing it?"

"No more."

Just let it be rough, it's not like a woman's hands need to be so tender.

Roughness and callouses are what protect their hands.

"Big sister, how long have you been here?"

As he was speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind him.

When she looked back, He Yunsong, whom she hadn't seen for more than a year, was smiling at her with one hand on his waist and a mouthful of big teeth.

Like an idiot, his cool and handsome temperament was completely destroyed.

Yi Chichi exclaimed in surprise, "When did you come back, Lao He?"

"I came back this morning."

He walked over and saw that each of the female comrades had a large basin in front of them. The water in the basin was as dirty as mud. He sighed and said, "This is really dirty."

"Everyone is going to disaster relief, so there is really no way to clean it up."

Ji Jian replied to him, curiously asking, "Did you encounter strong winds and heavy rains at sea?"

"Fortunately."

He Yunsong's answer was quite vague, but Yi Chichi knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it. Ji Jian and the others were not stupid people. Even if they were, they would understand what they should understand after staying in the family area for a long time.

He Yunsong's answer clearly stated that he could not elaborate.

Therefore, the group of people stopped asking questions and naturally changed the topic.

"You haven't been home for so long. Why are you here instead of accompanying your wife?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he said it, He Yunsong's face fell.

He pulled up his pants and squatted down next to Yi Chichi, sighing, "My wife is busy. I thought she was in the infirmary, but I didn't see her when I ran there. Doctor Lin told me that she was on shift at the hospital. I ran to the hospital again without stopping, but the director told me that she was delivering babies in the delivery room."

Yi Chichi, "So you came back?"

"He's back."

If you can't see anyone, why stay there if you don't come back?

Seeing Yi Chichi's disgust, he defended himself aggrievedly, "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's Grandpa who drove me back, saying that I was in the way."

Not wanting to continue this topic, he asked, "Where's Lao Wen?"

"He's sleeping at home. Go find him yourself."

I was so tired that I came back, took a shower, changed my clothes, and then I couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

He didn't wake up even when I tempted him with food.

"I'll go take a look."

He Yunsong scurried out, looking as anxious as if he was seeing his loved one.

Ji Jian and the others laughed at his impatient look.

He also complained to Yi Chichi, "They have a really good relationship."

"Ah."

Brothers in life and death cannot have a good relationship.

"Before Comrade He married Xiao Zhang, the first thing he did every time he came back from going out was to look for your husband, Lao Wen. After they got married, your husband became the second person, but he would never stay overnight."

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Let them be. It is a good thing to have a brother who can care about you in life."

She hasn't had this kind of feeling yet.

She took a brush and scrubbed the clothes vigorously. She used basin after basin of clean water to wash the dirty clothes thoroughly.

Then she found that Wen Shi’s clothes and pants were torn.

"Are your men's clothes torn?"

"broken."

The torn pieces were more outrageous than the last. The sleeves were torn, the crotch was split, and a piece of the trouser legs was torn off.

"Will you give out new clothes this year?"

"Yes, but the necessary repairs still need to be made up."

As long as it's not so rotten that it can't be repaired, patching is not a problem.
