Chapter 76 No reward for no merit

"Actually, if you follow my standards, you can become a tailor later."

"Tailor shops are state-owned, garment factories, textile factories and other places are also state-owned. They are all iron rice bowls and we can't get in."

The implication is: As long as they can get in, they won't go to the countryside to jump in line.

Yi Chichi,...there is no way to continue this topic.

You can’t tell them that not only will the college entrance examination be resumed in a few years, but that reform and opening up will also take place.

It's too hard to explain, so it's better for her not to get into trouble.

So, this topic ends here.

After nine o'clock in the evening, everyone went to their respective houses to rest.

Yi Chi poured water to wash up, and took care of his hands and face carefully before lying down in the warm quilt and falling asleep.

After breakfast the next day, based on the principle of responsibility, she strolled to the captain's house and called to the captain to check on the old man and their health.

When the two arrived, the old man and the others were clearing snow at the door.

My spirit seems much better.

Qin Jiu, a child wearing a patched cotton-padded jacket from someone unknown, squatted at the door and played with snowballs.

Seeing Yi Chichi, he scurried behind the old man like a rabbit, grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Master, yesterday's uncle and sister are here."

Yi Chichi shouted in her heart that she was not her sister, but her cousin.

You are so inferior, Xiao Jiujiu.

I've always seen people with seniority, but I've never seen her downgrade like this.

He was still surrendered by his cousin.

Then again, which cousin of hers is Qin Jiu's child?
Just as she was thinking about it, the captain patted her and said, "Girl Yi, go check it out."

"what?"

Yi Chichi was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not react, with a dull expression on his face.

"I said, you can check them out."

"Oh yeah, check."

She came here in the name of inspection, so the process had to be followed.

It is impossible to feel the pulse. You can only look at the face and ask about how you slept, joint pain, sweating at night, etc.

The old man and the others answered all questions.

After some inspection, Yi Chichi, who was prepared, took out the medicine bag and said, "I still need to drink two doses of medicine."

"Still drinking?"

They all speak in the same voice and have the same bitter gourd face.

Qin Jiu, who had been quite relaxed, once again retracted into his shell like a scared little snail and hid behind the old man.

He only looked at her warily with a pair of big black eyes.

The smile on Yi Chichi's face froze. Is the medicine she boiled really that bad?
"Yes, I still want to drink."

With an expressionless face, the captain who originally wanted to give some advice swallowed the words that came to his mouth and changed them to——

"Listen to her."

The doctor couldn't afford to offend him. Even if Yi Chichi refused to admit that her medical skills were even half-assed, she couldn't deny the fact that she knew how to treat diseases with acupuncture and medicine.

It is better to offend a villain than a doctor.

In line with this year, he said righteously, "Everything is for the body."

These words are impeccable.

The old man and the others can only compromise.

So, Yi Chichi took the medicine bag and went to cook the medicine.

The captain did not follow and stayed outside chatting with the old man and the others.

Yi Chichi listened carefully and found that he could only hear vague sounds and couldn't make out what they were saying at all.

Then he gave up the idea of ​​eavesdropping, started lighting the fire very skillfully, selected the medicinal materials, and soaked them separately according to their potency and texture.

Then proceed to decoction.

Suddenly, Xiao Jiujiu's voice came from behind.

"Sister, you didn't put these away."

He pointed at the medicinal materials in the basin and warned loudly.

Yi Chichi was startled by him, and when he turned around, he saw the child blinking at him with a pair of big black eyes.

His face immediately turned red, "When did you come here?" "When my sister was giving the medicine."

The child answered all questions. Yi looked outside and then at him, thinking this was a good opportunity to find out the news.

"Your name is Qin Jiu, right?!"

"Ah."

The child nodded, "Sister, what's your name? Also, thank you for the sugar water you gave me yesterday. It's very sweet."

He swallowed, looking like he was reminiscing.

Seeing this, Yi Chichi took out a big white rabbit and handed it to him, "Here!"

"No."

The child clasped his hands behind his back and refused to accept her candy, "I don't get rewarded for my merits. I can't afford it. My sister will eat it by herself."

"Do you still know that no reward will be given without merit?"

Yi Chichi pretended to be surprised, and the child nodded proudly, "I can do it, I have studied the Analects of Confucius, I have studied Thousand Three Hundreds, I have studied..."

He said a lot of things.

Yi Chichi was speechless after hearing this. Good guy, the Qin family's background is quite good. Such a young child has begun to cultivate Chinese studies and modern science.

Are you planning to train Qin Jiu to be an all-rounder?

Yi Chichi intended to test him and asked him about the Analects of Confucius, Qian Sanbai's self-understanding, and mathematical questions.

There are also a few brain teasers.

Then, she discovered that Qin Jiu was an amazing little boy, a precocious and precocious little genius.

Bending down, she looked into Qin Jiu's eyes and said, "Jiujiu, how old are you this year?"

"Five and a half."

The child raised four fingers and said, "I was born on July 65, 7."

"Did you study?"

Qin Jiu hummed, "I read it, but I don't have to read it now."

The little face was stained with disappointment, and the dejected look made Yi Chichi feel heartbroken.

But it was hard to say anything, so she only comforted him, "There will be books to read in the future."

It had only been a few years since education had resumed, and she firmly believed that with the old man's foresight and their foresight, even if Qin Jiu couldn't go to school, they would teach themselves.

When education resumes, children can return to school.

Then, the big one and the small one sat together watching the fire and chatting.

While they were chatting, Qin Jiu suddenly made a sound. Yi Chichi thought something was wrong, and was about to ask in a hurry, when he heard him say, "Sister, what's your name?"

The title "sister" really makes her head ache.

"...Yi Chichi."

Give it a try and see if the old man is still impressed by her name.

If it happens, let it be. If it doesn't happen, stay away from it.

Qin Jiu groaned, feeling that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

He frowned and thought hard, and a little light bulb suddenly came on in his mind.

She remembered that she had heard Tai Nai mention this name.

Is it the same person?
Suspicious eyes fell on Yi Chichi's face. He struggled for a long time with a tangled look and said, "Sister, what is your grandma's name?"

Yi Chichi turned to look at him, seeing the look of expectation in the child's eyes, and curled his lips into a smile.

"Li Changqiu!"

It seems that the old man and the others have mentioned her before, otherwise the child would not have this reaction.

Sure enough, as she finished speaking, the child's eyes suddenly lit up.

The corners of his lips could not help but curl up, and he suppressed them again, pretending to be serious, "What a coincidence, my wife's name is Li Changxia."

"It's a coincidence."

Yi Chichi couldn't help laughing when he looked at his little adult-like appearance.

The child looked up at her, saw a smile on her soft brows, and opened her mouth.

He ran out again.

Yi Chichi has a black question mark face, no, why did he get away?
