Chapter 503: Strong as a Bear

Yi Chichi was no longer surprised by his silly father's appearance. After he talked to himself for a while emphasizing how much his children loved him, he remembered something.

"Were you picking up new recruits when you went to Yangcheng to pick them up before?"

"No."

He shook his head and didn't tell me the details of those people. He just said calmly, "Why do you think of asking this?"

"I see they're wearing Army uniforms."

Wen Shi was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "I haven't had time to change my clothes yet."

Not wanting to continue on this topic, he asked about the powder.

“Can it be done before the New Year?”

"It will be fine after few days."

The old man was very interested in the enhanced version of the powder. At first, he was willing to let her help him. Later, he didn't want her to do it anymore and took care of it himself.

The reason is very legitimate. She is now in the late stage of pregnancy and it is not good for her health to be exposed to too many medicinal herbs.

So, she became a person with nothing to do.

However, when necessary, the old man would call me to discuss the issue of proportion.

"Or should I just give it to you directly?"

"Did a lot?"

"It's not a lot, but Grandpa Zhang helped me buy three servings."

"How much is a serving?"

"Two pounds!"

Three portions equals six pounds, and the amount per person is fifty grams...

He calculated silently in his mind, "First, give me three pounds of medicine, and send the rest to the health team. Whoever wants it can go to the doctor for a prescription."

Yi Chichi had an idea in his mind.

"Okay, I'll pack them all for you when the time comes, and you can arrange the rest."

There was no use for her to hold the powder. After all, she had no chance to stay in a dark and enclosed space for a long time, and it was impossible for her to get a crotch injury.

So, it’s a good idea to let Wen Shi distribute it.

So, this topic ends here.

Time flies and it is mid-December. The package from Beijing finally arrives.

The eldest daughter received several packages. Not only did her grandfather send her things, but Grandpa Song and others also sent her some.

The eight Beijing items, milk powder, malted milk, White Rabbit and Meilin canned food are indispensable every time.

Next are books and painting tools.

In addition, there are foreign exchange coupons, industrial tickets, food coupons and the like.

All packed in an envelope, bulging with stuff.

As soon as the envelope was torn open, the bills fell out.

Wen's mother, who had just returned from fishing with a smile on her face, saw the fallen bill. Her eyes suddenly widened, and then she rushed in quickly and slammed the door.

The vision in front of him suddenly went dark. Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, your reaction is too intense."

“Don’t show off your wealth.”

Mother Wen rolled her eyes at her as if she was facing a great enemy, and was very dissatisfied with her carelessness, "You are such a fool, even though this bill is not money, it is too much for her to bear. Don't you know that it makes people jealous?"

The implication is: It’s better to be on guard.

Yi Chichi nodded obediently, "Okay mom, you are right."

She bent down to pick up the bill, but Wen's mother rushed over and said, "Don't move. I'll pick it up."

It must be so uncomfortable to bend over with such a big belly.

Yi Chichi said "oh" and turned to continue unpacking. Before he finished, Wen's mother handed him the envelope and said, "Take it and keep it."

"Mom, keep it. You're the one who goes to the Service Center Department Store now. If I take it and you need it, you have to come to me. It's troublesome."

This is also true.

So, Wen's mother put the ticket away.

"Why are you sending clothes?"

When she came back, Yi Chichi was taking out a coat from the package. It was a bright red cashmere coat. The fabric and style showed that it was exported by overseas Chinese stores and then sold domestically.

"Grandma Song bought it." The senders of this package were the Song couple. She put the coat away and continued to search, taking out another coat, the same long style, navy blue, but not made of cashmere, but woolen fabric.

The style is great, double-breasted and classic.

"This good-looking."

Wen's mother praised it highly, "It looks more low-key than the red one."

The red coat is too bright. It is too ostentatious to wear it on a daily basis unless it is a special occasion. It is not suitable for the current environment.

Yi Chichi stuffed the clothes into her hands and said, "This is yours, so you have to be low-key."

Mother Wen held the clothes in her hands and was shocked, "This is not yours?"

"Grandma Song bought it for you, thanking you for taking care of her when you were in Kaoshantun!"

Worried that Mother Wen wouldn't believe it, she showed her the letter written by Grandma Song, "It's all written there. This model is bought according to your size."

Mother Wen picked up the clothes and looked around, helplessly, "This is too thick, I can't wear it here."

"The temperature will be lower during the New Year, so you can wear it."

They just can't be worn for more than a few days, even though they are located in the northern part of the island, where the temperature is lower than in the southern part, but not much lower.

But you can wear a coat.

Wen's mother said "oh" and turned around to start preparing return gifts for grandpa and the others.

This is a man of action and doesn't like to owe favors to others.

When she receives a gift, she must reciprocate as quickly as possible, otherwise she won’t be able to sleep well at night.

So, after reading the letters written by several people, helping to put everything in order and keeping the shells picked up from the sea in water and spitting out the sand, she took the money and tickets and went out.

"Chichi, you stay at home. I'm going to the market!"

"……it is good."

As soon as Wen's mother left, Yang Qing came to the door. The first thing he said was - "Aunt just came back from fishing, why are you out again?"

"I am busy."

Yi Chizhi didn't elaborate, and Yang Qing didn't ask much. She invited him, "I'm going next door, do you want to come?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Ask Ji Jian to borrow the sewing machine."

The two were talking at the door. Ji Jian's house and Yi Chichi's house were separated by a hibiscus fence wall, which was not soundproof at all.

Ji Jian, who came out to pour water, heard it and said unhappily, "You don't even want to call me sister-in-law now, right?!"

"Before I called you sister-in-law you said I called you old, now I call you by your name you complain that I don't call you sister-in-law, why are you so difficult to deal with?"

Yang Qing was even more dissatisfied than her. Yi Chichi saw Ji Jian's stunned expression, "Did I say such a thing?"

"Said!"

Yi Chichi raised his hand, "I can testify that I said that when you knew that you and Yang Qing were only a few months apart."

That was all last year.

Ji Jian, "...Okay, it's my bad. Come here quickly if I need to borrow the sewing machine. I have to go to work later."

I see, it's another late shift.

Yang Qing didn't want to delay her night shift, so she took the cut cloth and pushed aside the hibiscus fence and walked through, with Yi Chichi following closely behind.

Then, she and Ji Jian frowned as they looked at the fabric that Yang Qing had cut.

"Did you cut this yourself?"

Ji Jian picked up a piece of cloth and asked her.

Yang Qing was adjusting the needle of the sewing machine. Hearing the sound, he nodded, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"For your old Huang?"

"No, I made this for my brother. He's getting married and has no new clothes to wear. My family can't get enough cloth coupons, so I sent a telegram to him."

No wonder the size is obviously wrong.

but--

"How tall is your brother?"

Yang Qing frowned, looking worried. "Don't say that. He grows taller no matter what he eats. He was 185cm tall when I came here, and now he's 193cm tall after a few years. He's still barefoot. He'd be taller if he wore shoes."

"He's as strong as a bear. My mom says his arms are thicker than my dad's legs. Because he's too tall and strong, he's never been able to find a partner. Every time I tell someone about him, the first thing the girl thinks is that he's too frivolous and can't be married."
