Chapter 459: Can't Relax Yet

Qin Jiu was in a complicated mood. He had been trying for a long time but still hadn't received Niu Niu's handkerchief. It was because he was too clean and never used his sleeve to wipe his nose.

He was silent for so long that Yi Chichi, who was holding his hand, glanced at him curiously and then burst out laughing.

This tangled little expression is so funny.

She didn't think of pointing it out, but looked at Niu Niu and found that the little girl had the same conflicted expression.

Finally, she said with a determined look, "How about I give you one?"

"Really?!"

Qin Jiu stopped hesitating and a smile as bright as the sun appeared on his face.

Niuniu nodded, "Really? I still have a little kitty's handkerchief that no one wants."

Qin Jiu hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the desire deep in his heart.

"Okay, give it to me."

But when he arrived at Niu Niu's house and saw the handkerchief she took out, Qin Jiu regretted it.

He looked at the pattern of a kitten on the handkerchief, then looked at Niuniu, and said in a trembling voice, "Is this the kitten you were talking about?"

"Yes."

Niuniu teased him, "Does it look like it?"

Qin Jiu cast a look at Yi Chichi for help. She cleared her throat and walked out as if she didn't see him. "I'll go help Aunt Ma pick vegetables."

Before she finished her words, she left like a rabbit and came to Aunt Ma.

She was picking cabbage leaves, and when she saw Yi Chichi squatting down to help her pick them, she grabbed the cabbage and said, "Don't move."

"I can do this."

"I know you will."

She can also work in the fields. She can harvest wheat, break corn cobs, dig the ground and plant medicinal herbs.

But that doesn't mean she has to pick cabbage.

"I'm using this to pickle sauerkraut. It doesn't need to be broken too cleanly."

Yi Chichi said "oh", stopped and squatted in front of her to watch her busy, "You didn't pickle it before?"

"If it's pickled, it won't be eaten until spring. I have to pickle two more jars."

At this point, Aunt Ma raised her eyes and asked her, "Did your mother grow vegetables in the greenhouse this year?"

"I have the guts, sister-in-law, do you have the guts?"

The corner of Ma's mouth twitched. She looked around and saw that her husband was not there. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I told you not to tell anyone. Your captain burned all the seedlings to death."

Yi Chichi's eyes suddenly widened, "What did uncle do? He burned Miao to death?"

"Pour tea water in, and make the fire wall hot."

That's damned indeed.

Newly grown seedlings really don't have such strong vitality. With the way the captain uncle cultivates them, the mature plants will be tormented to the point of being on the verge of death.

She sighed, "What should I do? No vegetables this year?"

Aunt Ma smiled shyly, "Does your mother have any extra seedlings?"

Yi Chichi understood immediately that this was a way to ask for a few seedlings to replant.

"should have."

The seedlings grown from sowing seeds need to be thinned out. The stronger ones will be replanted, while the weak and malnourished ones will be discarded directly.

Things like chicken feather vegetables don’t matter and can be eaten directly.

It also sends out quickly.

"Aunt, you can come to my house when you are free, or I can bring it to you when I go to the commune."

Aunt Ma thought it was credible, right? "When are you going to the commune?"

"I have to go up there tomorrow."

I guess the package she sent back is about to arrive.

I also have to send a telegram to Wen Shi to report the situation at home.

"Okay, go back and see if you can transplant the plants first. If not, you can wait a few days."

"Okay." Just then, the heavy door curtain was pulled open, and the captain walked in with a cold look on his body.

"Where's Chi girl?"

"Send Niuniu home."

"It's just a few steps away..."

The unfinished words stopped abruptly when Aunt Ma looked at him like she was about to kill him. The leader of the cowardly daughter-in-law decisively changed the topic, "Your uncle Yaozi is going to get medicine tomorrow. Do you want to go to the commune?"

"Yes, I'll go down and talk to Uncle Yaozi about it."

"Ah."

He nodded, poured himself a cup of boiling water, and asked Yi Chichi if she wanted some. She waved her hand and refused, "We're going back soon."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Jiu came out with a smile on his face, "Aunt, we can go home now."

Niuniu came out a step later than him and said with a smile, "Aunt, I will practice well."

"Practice well, and try to get your handkerchief exchanged for money next time your aunt goes to your uncle's place."

"Ok."

The goal of making money immediately struck Niu Niu's young heart. She said with sparkling eyes, "When I can make money, I will buy White Rabbit snacks for grandpa and grandma."

"I don't want White Rabbit cigarettes, just buy me a filter cigarette."

The captain answered the question smoothly. Aunt Ma got angry all of a sudden and threw a cabbage leaf at his head, cursing, "Can you behave like a human being, you old man? How old is Niuniu? You asked her to buy filter paper for you. Do you think I look like a filter tip..."

He talked incessantly and in a ferocious tone.

The team leader was so scared that he shrank his neck like a quail and dared not say a word. Yi Chichi was so scared that he grabbed Qin Jiu and ran out, shouting, "Let's go back first."

Niu Niu warmly invited Aunt Ma to come and play next time, and then turned around and started to coax her.

The crisp little voice floats in the wind, listening to it can help to cool down your body.

"Aunt, you can put me down now."

Qin Jiu, who was being carried by her, felt a little tired. His short legs were against his long legs, and his short legs were really tired in order not to fall behind.

Yi Chichi stopped and said, "Mom, my aunt is a bit fierce."

Qin Jiu said calmly, "I have also seen Grandma Ma making the captain kneel on the washboard."

Yi Chichi turned his head to look at him, then retracted his gaze and warned, "Don't tell others."

Captain uncle also needs to save face.

"I know!"

Qin Jiu nodded and smiled, "I didn't tell anyone but my aunt."

"Very well, hold on."

She held Qin Jiu's hand and did not rush home. Instead, she went to the team medical room and made an appointment with Uncle Yaozi to go to the commune tomorrow, and then strolled home with him.

At dinner time she went to the cowshed and called the old man and others to come for dinner.

During the dinner, they talked about the change in wind direction. Old Man Ma Baoshan asked excitedly, "Are we going to see the sun soon?"

"It's still early!"

Mr. Song has a different view on this. He said, "It is darkest before dawn. We cannot relax yet and must be extremely cautious."

The great aunt agreed with his words. He looked at Ma Baoshan and said in a deep voice, "Don't be arrogant. It will remain the same as before. When the time comes, it will come naturally. There is no rush now. You have to be steady."

"…I'm not a three-year-old kid. I understand all this. I was just too excited."

Yi Chichi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with a serving chopstick and gave it to the old man. "Hey, just eat your meal. There's no point in thinking too much now."

She didn't know about other places, but the atmosphere in the capital was extremely tense.

She had changed trains from Beijing before, so she was in the mood to go out for a stroll and buy some local specialties.

This time she didn't dare to move at all, she just stayed in the guesthouse for one night and left the next day.

Afraid of being targeted and getting into trouble.

When the surrounding environment is not very good, you have no choice but to run quickly, otherwise you may be dragged into the water.

If you are unfamiliar with the place and something goes wrong, you will be helpless.

She regrets her life.

"Grandpa, after the spring, you should try to reduce contact with the people in the village and work hard."
