Going to the countryside in the Northeast, educated youths became popular in the village with embroi

Chapter 480 I Can Afford You
Niu Niu thought it would be better not to attend this class.

But she didn't dare say this, for fear of being beaten by her grandfather.

Then he said "oh" to Yi Chichi, "Aunt Chichi, should I tear it down now?!"

"Tear it down."

There is no point in keeping it if it is not embroidered well. It makes no difference whether you take it off early or late.

While Yu Rutang and Tang Ruqing were chatting with the team leader, they were staring at Niuniu's fingers flying up and down like butterflies as she removed the stitches, which was dizzying to watch.

Soon, she untied a thread. Yu Rutang blinked and said, "It's sewn so finely, how did you untie it?"

"Follow the stitches."

Niu Niu, who already had experience in dismantling things, didn't even raise her head and kept moving with her hands.

Seeing that the two were interested, Yi Chichi suggested, "How about letting Niuniu give it a try for you?"

"No no no!"

The two of them waved their hands frantically. It was no problem for them to put on a patch or sew a button, but they really couldn't do the job of removing stitches.

The stitches are too dense, I don’t know where the threads go. It’s not pretty if the thread is cut or tangled for the baby.

"Let her do it herself. We can't do this job."

"What can't be done?"

Auntie Ma's loud voice came from the door. Yu Rutang happily stood up and rushed over, "Auntie, I'm here to eat and sleep on the kang again."

"Hello Auntie!"

Tang Ruqing greeted her, and Auntie Ma laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll stew some chicken for you."

Before she finished speaking, she looked at Yi Chichi, who called her aunt, and said, "Chichi, don't leave. Stay for dinner."

"no!"

Yi Chi Chi decisively refused, stood up and walked out, "My mother can cook, so it's not a problem."

Everyone has a ration of food. If she ate it, it would mean that everyone in the captain's family would have one less bite of food. Don't underestimate this bite of food, it can save lives at a critical moment.

It was normal for Yu Rutang and the others to stay for dinner, but she would feel embarrassed to stay.

So, she ignored the obstruction of Aunt Ma and others, insisted on leaving, and did not forget to remind Niu Niu to practice well.

Helpless, Aunt Ma and the others had no choice but to let her go.

Not long after leaving the captain's house, Yi Chichi met Wen's mother. She was holding a pair of thick, layered soles in Yi Chichi's size.

"Mom, why are you sewing soles again?"

Yi Chichi was very opposed to her making the soles of shoes by hand, as it was tiring and troublesome.

Mother Wen smiled guiltily, "Isn't this just because you are bored?"

"Then you can use a sewing machine, or knit a sweater. If that doesn't work, you can cut the cloth and make clothes. Why do you want to do it by hand and make shoe soles?"

Speaking of this, Wen's mother became confident and said, "You don't understand. It's not fun to go out and talk nonsense without doing any work."

Yi Chi was speechless, and after a long silence, he managed to say, "Watch your eyes."

"know."

Then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home. Wen's mother went to the kitchen to cook. Yi Chichi took a broom and swept the main room. He then ran to the cowshed at the back for a walk. He came back only when he heard Qin Jiu's voice.

"Auntie, I got a certificate!"

Qin Jiu excitedly took out the certificate and showed it to her. Yi Chichi looked at it carefully. Both her and Niu Niu's certificates were hand-painted. She wasn't very excited when she saw Niu Niu, but she was so happy when she saw Qin Jiu that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Well done, our Xiao Jiu is awesome!"

Patting his shoulder approvingly, she looked at Qin Jiu, who was holding his head high and smiling, and said, "What reward do you want?"

Qin Jiu thought seriously for a moment, "Aunt, I want an original English book, is that ok?"

This is a bit difficult.

It is easy to find Russian books on this book in the three northeastern provinces, and the original English books...

"Let me try!"

"it is good."

"What type do you want?"

"Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy." He answered without hesitation. Yi Chichi was stunned for a while, "Did Teacher Ouyang recommend it?"

"No, it was recommended by Master Song."

She said, "It will take quite a while."

It is a bit troublesome for Baoan to get this book. The commune library does not have this book, and the county has no connections in this regard.

I do have some connections in Yangcheng, but I don't dare ask anyone to mail the original books to me for fear of problems.

She didn't intend to hide it, but directly told Qin Jiu how difficult it was to get the book. "If you want it, I can only bring it back to you after I visit your uncle again."

"it is good."

Qin Jiu nodded and added, "Aunt, if it's too troublesome, forget it."

"It's not as troublesome as you think."

Anyway, the current situation is somewhat complicated. Apart from the general directions, policies in various places differ in some minor aspects.

What can be done in Bao'an County may be legal outside of Bao'an.

Likewise, something that is legal elsewhere may not be legal if security guards are present.

Therefore, she smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, auntie knows what's going on."

Her eyes fell on his feet, and seeing that his shoes were a little wet, she urged, "Hurry up and change your shoes. If your feet are cold, soak them first."

You wouldn't feel it if you didn't say it, but as soon as Qin Jiu felt cold, he took his schoolbag and his basin without saying a word to soak his feet.

Yi Chichi ran over and lit the kang.

If you don’t cook in advance, it will be too cold to go to bed after eating and washing up.

By the time the kang warmed up, Wenmu's meal was ready.

The dumplings we had for dinner were stuffed with cabbage residue and oil residue. The skin was thin, the filling was full, and the dumplings were big. The little brat ate my father out of money.

Yi Chichi was full after eating eight dumplings this big, but Qin Jiu finished twenty of them.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other.

After a while, Wen's mother hesitated and asked, "Has Xiaojiu's appetite increased?"

Before, I only ate steamed buns, rice and noodles, and I didn’t eat dumplings very often, so there is no direct comparison.

Now that Qin Jiu has eaten twenty dumplings, the contrast is clear.

Yi Chichi stared at him for a long while and asked him, "Are you feeling full?"

"No."

Qin Jiu shook his head and told the truth, "Just right."

As he spoke, his expression was tinged with uneasiness, "Did I eat too much?"

"Nothing."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly shook their heads. What's wrong with the child being able to eat? If he can't eat while growing up, then when can he eat?

"Don't worry about eating. If you're not full, tell grandma. Your aunt is so good at making money, she can support you."

Worried that Qin Jiu might feel burdened, Wen's mother comforted him in a gentle voice, "If things don't work out, there's still your uncle. His income can also keep you well fed."

Yi Chichi nodded in agreement.

"Don't be silly and go hungry every day. You can only grow taller if you are well fed and well clothed. Your great grandfather is already an old man but he is still that tall. You have to eat well and grow taller than him, otherwise you won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Qin Jiu was embarrassed, he couldn't find a wife or something...

"Aunt, let me remind you that it will be many years before I get married."

"Worry about it first."

Yi Chichi didn't care about these things, she just cared about one thing, "Anyway, you have to have enough food."

"Okay, I'll have a full meal."

Eat well and grow tall, then work and earn money to support your aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandparents, and parents.

If you don’t count, you won’t know. Once you count, you will find that there are six mouths to feed.

Qin Jiu suddenly felt a great deal of pressure, "I have to go study."

I have to study hard and wait until spring to see if I can skip a grade and go to the second year of junior high school. I can graduate early and start working. That’s it!
