Even the scorching sun could not stop the farmers from facing the earth with their backs to the sky, sweat pouring down their cheeks.

Wen's mother came home covered in dust in the evening. After washing her hands and face, she was ready to cook. But when she entered the house, she found that Yi Chichi had already prepared the meal.

She also came out carrying a bowl of cooled tomato and egg soup.

"Didn't I say I would do it when I got back?"

"I don't feel like working today, so I'll just cook a meal to improve the food."

Putting the soup bowl on the table, she asked, "Mom, are my grandpa and his family back?"

"came back!"

As soon as Wen's mother heard it, she knew what she was going to do. She didn't care about eating herself, but went into the kitchen with her, "Have you packed all the food for them?"

"All right!"

The quantity is quite large, and two steamers of steamed buns are used. "Mom, please help me pick out another twenty steamed buns."

"it is good."

Wen's mother took a basin and put twenty big steamed buns in it. Each of them was solid two-in-one and each one was more solid than the other.

With the appetite of my grandpa and his family, three of them can be enough for each of them.

"Mom, how about I save some fat for you?"

She made a stew of pork with more fat than lean, all big chunks of meat, so greasy that it frightened her to look at it.

Mother Wen looked over and was immediately horrified. "This is too greasy. I don't want it. Send it all to your grandfather and his family."

"That!"

Two pounds of meat were cooked, and only one pound of meat would be enough for stewing, so the remaining one pound was enough for the mother and daughter to eat.

So, Yi Chichi didn't say anything else, but took the dishes and went to the cowshed through the back door with Wen's mother.

Then, the old man scolded her for not knowing how to live.

"You are so fierce! How can anyone cook two kilograms of meat in one go?"

"The work is tiring, and I need to replenish my energy."

Yi Chichi argued, "Besides, we don't lack meat tickets."

Not to mention the tickets that Wen Shi sent back every month, just the fixed tickets from the Friendship Store every month and the tickets from the commune every now and then were enough for her to have enough meat tickets to buy meat.

Seeing the old man open his mouth to continue, she became anxious, "Eat it when it's delivered. Your body is the capital of the revolution. It's not like you can't afford it. It's not worth your concern."

The old man opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to start because his mother was there, so he could only wave his hand helplessly, "Okay, I get it, I'll finish it, you guys should go back and eat quickly."

It would have been better if this had been done earlier.

Yi Chichi happily took Wen's mother's hand and went home. As she stepped out of the door, she reminded her mother, "Eat it up, don't leave any leftovers. The food won't stay in the hot weather and will go bad."

"understood."

So the two of them left with peace of mind.

When the mother and daughter were eating together, Wen's mother couldn't help laughing when she thought of the old man's expression at that time, "Chi, do you know why your grandpa was like that?"

"……do not know."

She is not a worm in the old man's stomach, so how would she know?

"Why is he doing that?"

He didn't even bother to eat, looking curious.

Wen's mother smiled and said, "You're afraid that I'll feel uncomfortable."

I couldn't bear to talk about her, so I just said nothing.

Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"The old man is worrying too much."

It is indeed unnecessary worry, but I have to say it is a good thing to worry about her, because I care about her and worry about her suffering.

"Your grandpa really cares about you."

Yi Chichi knew what was going on. She picked up some sweet and sour pork and gave it to Wen's mother. "Don't worry, Mom. I care about you, too."

Wen's mother burst out laughing. She was afraid that her daughter would get jealous, so she tried to comfort her with words.

"No, just keep Wen Shi in your heart, otherwise I'm afraid he will be jealous."

"Let him be jealous. He can do whatever he wants if he is jealous of me." When the man is not around, the mother-in-law is the boss.

Wen's mother was speechless, "You should eat."

After saying that, he fed her madly, telling her to eat more, and then she would be quiet after covering her ears with her mouth.

Yi Chichi had no idea what Wen's mother was thinking, so she ate until she was full.

It was getting dark in July, and Wen's mother didn't let her wash the dishes. Yi Chichi, who was full and bored, walked around the house for a few times and decided to go out for a walk to help digest the food.

When she told Wen's mother about it, she said happily, "Go ahead and have fun."

"okay!"

So, Yi Chichi strolled over to play with Liu Lan and the others.

As a result, Liu Lan, Zhou Qiuyu, Wang Nan and Ge Sujuan got together again. Because the child could run and jump, Bai Chen and Wu Yongfei took him to the Youth League Home to play.

The two from Liu Lan's family were also taken away.

Four people got together to cut hair, but their skills were not good and the hair was ruined.

Fortunately, they are well aware of their craft and left room for improvement, so there is still a lot of room for modification.

When Yi Chichi arrived, Ge Sujuan, who was staring at Zhou Qiuyu's hair with concern, immediately spoke up as if she had seen a savior, "Chichi, come and help Qiuyu trim her hair. It's not easy to tie her hair up at this length, and it's not neat and tidy to let it down."

Yi Chichi clicked his tongue and said, "How can they have the courage to cut hair when their hands are so clumsy?"

“It’s too hot in the fields.”

Wang Nan's face was sunburned. Yi Chichi took a pair of scissors and trimmed Qiuyu's hair while asking her, "You didn't wear a hat when you were working?"

"I wore it at first, but then I couldn't stand the heat anymore, so I took it off."

"Don't take it off next time no matter how hot it is. If you keep doing this a few more times, your face will be completely hopeless."

"Why is it that I can't be saved just by basking in the sun?"

When it comes to her own face, Wang Nan still cares a lot.

The same goes for Ge Sujuan and the others, because their faces weren't much better.

"Sun spots, epidermal damage, pigmentation and the like can cause people to age quickly."

Not wanting their beautiful faces to be ruined by excessive sun exposure, Yi Chichi explained in detail the importance of the face and how to care for the skin.

Some people who originally didn't think much of basking in the sun, when they heard this, looked at her face, and then compared it with their own faces, suddenly felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing their hearts, and a chill penetrated their bones.

"Can our faces be saved?"

Touching her face, Ge Sujuan looked worried.

Yi Chichi nodded, "Yes, you are still young, and your skin has a good ability to repair itself. Apply the ointment made by Uncle Yaozi, and be careful to avoid sun exposure, and you will recover after a while."

That is not bad.

They have ointments. It’s so uncomfortable to have cracked face in winter, so I bought a lot.

The main thing is that what Uncle Yaozi sells is not expensive. It is cheaper than vanishing cream and more effective. I still have some left at home.

I originally thought that I would save it for use in winter when the weather gets hotter and my face doesn’t crack anymore, but now, I have to use it.

Soon, Qiuyu's hair was trimmed.

Yi Chichi cleaned up the loose hair on her neck and said, "Okay, who's next?"

"I come."

Ge Sujuan took the lead and sat on the chair that Zhou Qiuyu had stood up to vacate, and also made a request, "Chichi, I want to change my hairstyle."

Yi Chichi looked at her face shape and said, "Okay, how about a short haircut for you?"

"it is good."

"But I've made it clear beforehand, you can't blame me if it doesn't turn out well."

"Don't complain."

The requirements for a free barber cannot be too high, and Yi Chichi’s skills are guaranteed.

“I believe in your craft.”

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do my best to give you a better-looking haircut."

Ge Sujuan gave her 100% trust, so she naturally had to give her 100% of her skills in return. (End of this chapter)
