Chapter 475 Pocket Money

“It’s snowing so hard!”

Heavy snow fluttered down, and Yi Chichi climbed up to the roof with the ladder.

Qin Jiu held the ring of the flashlight in his mouth in the snow, and handed it to the snow shovel, "Auntie, be careful."

"Auntie knows."

Yi Chichi took the shovel and warned, "Stand back, be careful of the snow pressing on you."

"it is good!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a large piece of snow fell.

Snow clearing is a particularly relaxing task. The thick snow falls down in large chunks under the push of human power.

In a moment, there was a pile of snow at the door.

Wen's mother ran to help but found that she couldn't use her own help. She hurried back to sweep the snow, but found that Yi Chichi had finished sweeping the snow and was coming down with the ladder.

"Why don't you wait until I come back to sweep?!"

"It's easy."

As he was talking, Yi Chichi came down the ladder.

"We need to shovel the snow at the door, right?!"

Otherwise, if we continue like this, the door will be blocked in less than two hours.

"It needs to be shoveled."

So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took shovels and started to move the snow diligently. Qin Jiu wanted to help, but was not only rejected, but also sent back to sleep by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After all, he has classes tomorrow.

Qin Jiu couldn't persuade them, so he could only obey them and go back to his room to sleep.

When they were halfway through shoveling, the strong Uncle Ye came running over like a thief and asked if they needed help.

Ready-made labor is not used in vain.

Yi Chichi hurriedly said yes.

So, Ye Yuntang took a shovel and started working hard.

Wen's mother asked him, "Have you dealt with the snow over there?"

"It's done. Uncle Qin and Uncle Ma and I did it together."

"Grandpa Song didn't do anything?"

Hearing Yi Chichi's words, Ye Yuntang's mouth twitched. This girl is mischievous.

With Mr. Song's weak scholarly physique, it would be difficult for him to even collect feed for the pigs, let alone shovel snow.

"You might as well rely on Aunt Song than Uncle Song."

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "I'm just curious."

At this point, she remembered something, "Is there enough firewood?"

"enough!"

There was not enough firewood when they first arrived, and if Yi Chichi hadn't taken care of them, they would not have survived that winter.

This gave me a deep understanding of the winter in security.

Stockpiling firewood has become something that is ingrained in our DNA.

I stock up in my spare time, from the beginning of the year to the beginning of winter, and that’s enough.

"Not enough to remember to say."

"I know. I won't be polite with you!"

Then, the two asked Wen's mother whose roof collapsed.

"The Jianshe family's woodshed collapsed."

Mother Wen said succinctly, "Otherwise I wouldn't have come back so soon."

The implication: no one was hurt.

Since no one was hurt, it's time to end this topic.

The three of them worked hard for two hours. They not only moved the snow from the roof to the empty vegetable plot, but also shoveled away the snow on the road in front of the door and in the front yard.

But it was no use, the accumulation started again within a few hours.

Fortunately, the snow started to subside around ten o'clock in the morning, and the accumulated snow was not as thick as it was at night.

The captain and his team have arranged patrols to clear the snow on Tunli Road regularly, so the road is not difficult to walk on.

So, when Liu Lan appeared in front of Yi Chichi, she was not surprised at all.

He even patted the warm kang and said, "Come up and work."

"coming!"

Liu Lan took off her hat and gloves and hung them on the rack, then took off her shoes and got on the kang. She moved her embroidery frame over as if she were at home, sat opposite Yi Chichi and started threading.

"Why are you still painting?" "Finalizing the draft, adding color."

Yi Chichi didn't even raise his head, "Where's your baby?"

"My mother and sister-in-law are watching."

Knowing that she comes here to work and earn money, her mother and sister-in-law are happy to take care of her children.

"I thought you would come with Wang Nan and the others."

"Wang Nan and Juanzi couldn't come, so Lao Bai sent Lao Wu to catch the bus and went to the department store to buy some things."

No wonder only Liu Lan came out of the three people who used to be inseparable from Jiao and Meng.

Now that Wu Yongfei and Bai Chen are gone, Wang Nan and the others can only stay at home and take care of the baby.

It’s really not suitable to take the baby out in such a cold day.

"Aunt isn't home?"

"I went to the team doctor's office to play with Aunt Mu."

Mu Da is taking a day off today. Uncle Yaozi is worried that his wife is bored at home, so he goes to the house and calls Wen's mother to come over and play with Aunt Mu.

I also brought Big Orange and Big Cat along.

Just when I thought of two, Liu Lan said, "My cat has given birth."

Yi Chichi, "??? Giving birth in this season?"

"Yes, six. We didn't know about it until yesterday. But when I woke up this morning, it brought all the kittens to the kang."

Thinking of what happened in the morning, Liu Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then she started to worry, "All of a sudden there are six more mouths to feed, the pressure is so great."

Yi Chichi was not sure what to say. According to her, the six kittens didn't eat much, so it would be nice to raise them until spring and let them move freely.

However, Liu Lan and her group now have six mouths to feed and food rations are tight, so it would be easy for her to persuade them to keep them.

Easy to annoy people.

So, she kept her mouth shut and let Liu Lan mutter about her father wanting to throw the kitten away. Her mother stopped her and said that they were several lives after all, and she should just consider it as accumulating blessings for the younger generations in the family.

Then, she asked, "Chi Chi, can you give me some of your dried fish?"

It is said to be an exchange, but in fact it is a sale.

Yi Chichi, "Feed it to the kittens?"

"Big cat, the kittens haven't been weaned yet, so they won't be able to eat for a while."

Yi Chichi said, "Only squid slices, how about that?"

"Yes, if the big cat doesn't eat it, we can eat it ourselves."

also.

So, when Liu Lan got home from work in the evening, she took away two kilograms of squid slices.

Yi Chichi handed the money to Wen's mother, "Mom, this is your pocket money."

Mother Wen took the money and put it in her pocket. She didn't blush because her daughter-in-law gave her pocket money. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mom will save it for you and Wen Shi."

“…Actually, you can buy some candy.”

There is no need for her to save money, they can earn it.

Mother Wen smiled and said, "We have candy at home. Let's eat it first."

Yi Chichi didn't care about these things. She was only responsible for paying money and issuing receipts to replenish things at home.

As for how Wen's mother and Qin Jiu wanted to distribute it and how they wanted to use it, it was up to them.

"I'm going to the commune tomorrow."

When Wen's mother heard this, she knew the manuscript was ready. "Okay, go early and come back early."

"it is good."

After breakfast the next day, Yi Chichi and Qin Jiu went out at the same time.

She first sent Qin Jiu to the Youth League Home, and then went to the commune.

The wind and snow have stopped today and the sun is shining.

It was a rare sunny day, and people who had been staying at home for days because of the heavy snow came out for a walk.

The communes were even more overcrowded.

The same goes for the post office, with people coming and going, some making phone calls, some sending things, some picking up packages.

Yi Chichi went to the post office to ask if there were any packages or letters for her. After getting the answer that there were no, she left to meet the secretary.

Comrade Xiao Zhou entertained her, "Comrade Yi, please sit here and wait for a moment. The secretary is in a meeting now."

"Okay, Comrade Zhou, go ahead and do your work. I can take care of myself."

Xiao Zhou nodded, "Read the newspaper?"

"Look!"

Then he brought a thick stack of newspapers over for her to read.
