Chapter 473 Afraid of leaving regrets

"Chi Chi, what do you think of Qiu Yu's words?"

As soon as Wang Nan said this, the pressure instantly fell on Yi Chichi.

She looked at Zhou Qiuyu. The girl was staring at her with eyes as pitiful and cute as a puppy's.

However, she was unmoved by her hard heart, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

“…The truth!”

After a brief silence, Zhou Qiuyu gave an affirmative answer.

Yi Chichi didn't mince words and said bluntly, "Don't paint anymore."

Zhou Qiuyu was happy. He took her feelings into consideration and didn't attack her too hard.

It's not even as good as what the neighbor grandma said to her.

"From now on, no one can ask me to draw unless it's a matter of life and death."

"Have ambition, keep it up."

Ge Sujuan gave her a thumbs up and expressed her high appreciation for her statement.

Others’ singing is terrible, but Zhou Qiuyu’s painting is eye-catching.

It really challenges people's aesthetics and cognition.

So, this topic ends here.

Yi Chichi continued to work hard, while Zhou Qiuyu and the others chatted while they worked.

As they chatted, Ge Sujuan sighed, "Hey, is there any job that can make money quickly?"

You won’t make much money by making matchboxes every day.

Wang Nan rolled her eyes and said, "Be content, sister. At least your old witch can still cook for the big pot, but my old white really has nothing to do. He can only follow the captain and others to sweep the snow and repair the house."

"Your Lao Bai can actually do this job."

Yi Chichi said something fair.

There are many families in the village who have no labor force. During the snowy season every year, those who have labor force sweep the snow on the roofs and in front of their doors by themselves.

In villages where there is no labor force, people are arranged to sweep the fields.

In order to prevent the wild animals in the mountains from running out of food and coming down the mountain, patrol teams were organized to conduct patrols.

It doesn't make people work in vain, it's counted as centimeters, but not high.

It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Even so, many people want to participate, because no matter how small the amount is, it can add up to a lot over the winter.

When you do the accounting at the end of the year, it is an income of some amount.

"It's just that I can't do it, otherwise I would want to participate!"

Unfortunately, she is afraid of cold and tired, so she is definitely a waste.

"Your men aren't home today?"

"They're all here."

They don't dare to come out to visit when I'm not at home, because they can't leave their little ones alone.

“No one is getting married this year.”

Ge Sujuan felt very sorry. "Last winter, there were still people getting married, and the old witch could go to cook a few times. But this year, no one has come to ask him to cook."

This is really treating people like workhorses.

It's normal to take a break after a busy year.

It would be a bad idea not to say this, as Ge Sujuan's eyes turned red as soon as she said it.

"I also know that the old witch is very tired after working all year, but the pressure is too great."

"What pressure?"

Wang Nan's expression became serious. "You two don't contact your parents anymore. Apart from supporting a small family, where else do you need money?"

"I don't have milk. My baby usually eats goat's milk, horse's milk, or malted milk. All these things cost money."

At this point, she wiped away her tears. "If that's all, we can handle it. With our abilities, although we don't have much money, we can still make ends meet. But the old witch father is seriously ill. He wants to take me and the baby back to see him for the last time." Yi Chichi's eyes suddenly widened. "Take you and the baby back? In this weather?"

"Ah."

Ge Sujuan nodded, "The old witch is afraid of leaving regrets."

Yi Chichi didn't know if it was regrettable or not. She only knew one thing, "Let the old witch go back by himself, or you go back with him, but you must not bring the baby with you."

"why?"

Ge Sujuan looked over blankly, and Yi Chichi said unhappily, "The journey is long and the weather is cold. It's tough for adults to go on a long journey in this weather. If the child really goes with you, something will definitely go wrong on the way."

Not everyone can buy a sleeper ticket, let alone a soft sleeper.

First, they are expensive. Second, these two carriages are called cadres' carriages.

If you want to buy it, you can use your connections.

However, Ge Sujuan and Wu Yongfei did not have such connections, and even if they wanted to use their connections, they might not be able to find a suitable way.

Therefore, the only option left for them was the hard seat carriage.

"Did you only take a long train ride when you came here?"

Yi Chichi's question left everyone present speechless.

Ge Sujuan: "It is no exaggeration to say that before we went to the countryside, the farthest place Wang Nan and I had ever been was the city of our hometown."

Zhou Qiuyu smiled bitterly, "Then you two are better than me. After all, you have been to the city. The farthest place I have been to is when my mother took me back to the countryside to attend the big market."

Because the farmers were poor, things in the big market were cheaper than those in small county towns, no tickets were required, and they could be bartered.

Liu Lan blinked and said, "I've been to the provincial capital and had dinner at Lao Mo's restaurant."

"Don't talk!"

The three of them said in unison that they had nothing in common with Liu Lan on this topic, and even less with Yi Chichi.

The former was spoiled since childhood and his family conditions were not bad.

It’s normal to go to the provincial capital to eat Lao Mo.

The latter can both make money and spend it, and never treat themselves badly, so there is no comparison.

"We are not from the same world as you two."

Yi Chichi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'd better tell Juanzi in detail how long it takes to get from Baoan to Jiangcheng and how many buses it takes."

"That's fine. I'll find out more about it and then try to dissuade the old witch from taking the baby back home."

Since it concerns the health of her own child, Ge Sujuan cannot afford to be careless.

Yi Chichi is good at geography. She doesn’t know the exact distance from Baoan to Jiangcheng, but she knows the distance from the provincial capital to Jiangcheng.

Add the distance from Baoan to the provincial capital, and the total distance is obtained.

"That's almost 2,500 kilometers."

Ge Sujuan was shocked by the number of kilometers. Yi Chichi nodded and said, "This is actually nothing. Lao Wu and his friends went to the countryside on a special train for educated youth. It is still unknown whether it is available now. So if you want to go back, you have to take a bus from Baoan to the provincial capital, and then depart from the provincial capital railway station to the train. If you are lucky, there will be a direct train, which will be easier. If you are unlucky, there will be no direct train, so you can only transfer trains one by one..."

Then, she explained in detail the precautions for transferring, accommodation conditions, etc.

After she finished speaking, she concluded, "Your trip back here will not only waste people's time, but also money and tickets."

How rich must one be to withstand such a ordeal?

She didn't say this, but Wang Nan and the others thought the same thing as she did.

There are some things that Yi Chichi and the others find difficult to say, but Wang Nan finds it easy to say.

There's nothing we can do about it, since they both come from the same place and are classmates.

The relationship is already one level closer.

So, she said bluntly, "You and the baby should not go back. Let the old witch go back by herself."

"… Mainly because I'm worried that the old witch will feel uncomfortable."

Ge Sujuan was moved, but still worried about Wu Yongfei's mood.

Yi Chichi calmly replied, "Tell him about the difficulties of going back and see what he says."

Parents who truly love their children would not be willing or cruel enough to torture their children in such weather.
