CHAPTER 166: CHAPTER 166: CHINESE-STYLE HORROR

Yi Chichi, "However, she didn’t listen."

We talked about not flaunting wealth over dinner, but she still took out a bunch of tickets.

Ge Sujuan sighed, "She doesn’t learn. We’ll have to keep an eye on her until she returns to the city."

After all, she’s a youth from the Youth Corps Courtyard, and if anything happens, it will affect all of us.

Yi Chichi thought it was feasible, since they spent every day together, but, "Just remind her at critical moments."

You can’t interfere too much; Guan Mingyue’s personality is too rebellious.

She’s a willful little girl.

"I’ve got it under control."

Saying this, she was about to leave but was stopped by Yi Chichi.

"When do you plan to send the money?"

"The day after tomorrow."

As soon as Liu Lan’s wedding is over, I’ll send it out, hoping the next letter I receive is my father’s severance letter.

"Help me send a letter too."

It was an easy task, and Ge Sujuan readily agreed.

"Just give it to me in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Alright."

After sending off Ge Sujuan, Yi Chichi took out paper and a pen, preparing to write to Wen Shi.

But as soon as she was about to start, she realized her mind was blank, not knowing where to begin.

What was the mode of interaction that’s beyond friendship but not quite lovers?

She racked her brain, trying her hardest to figure it out, and with no reference, decided to just go with her flow recklessly.

In the sound of rustling, one stroke at a time, small calligraphy characters danced on the letter paper, and five minutes later, the letter was finished.

She read it over, felt it was written quite well, happily folded the letter, sealed the envelope with paste, and tucked it into the teacher’s handbook before washing up and going to sleep.

She had a good night’s sleep, and the next day, when she woke up, Wu Yongfei hadn’t made breakfast.

Yi Chichi looked at him, "What’s this about? Planning to tough it out for a day?"

"We’ll eat at the banquet."

He was quite pleased with himself.

Bai Chen and the others looked helpless, "We said no breakfast."

Not a rich family, and even if they were wealthy, they wouldn’t dare hold a big banquet in the current climate.

Being able to provide one meal for guests is already generous.

Wu Yongfei had a bitter face, "I was hoping to eat some meat."

This obsession with meat left people at a loss for words.

Yi Chichi gritted her teeth, taking the last piece of red sausage out, "Let’s cut it up and share it."

Guan Mingyue, seeing this, brought out a piece of cured meat, "Together."

Everyone looked at the red sausage and cured meat, swallowing silently, eager to eat, very eager.

But, it was embarrassing to say.

Qi Yang suggested, "Should we pay a little money?"

"If you want to pay, you pay, not me."

Wu Yongfei said confidently and strongly, "Chefs at state-owned restaurants get paid, I cook for you every day without it, so what’s wrong with eating a bit of your stuff."

"Not counting you."

Wang Nan quickly reassured him; this tendency to get worked up like a rabbit was quite exasperating.

"That’s more like it."

Wu Yongfei was satisfied, happily taking the red sausage and cured meat to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Old Qi, come help me stoke the fire."

Qi Yang, being summoned, replied and turned to Bai Chen, "Let me know when you agree on the price."

"Okay."

However, Yi Chichi and the others refused money, but the two agreed that when meat was shared, they wanted some meat.

Bai Chen and the others nodded eagerly, indicating no problem, after all, they wanted to eat the meat too.

So strictly speaking, they were still getting the better deal, and Yi Chichi and her group were at a loss.

Just had to help a bit more when needed as repayment for their meat.

With this thought, they all enjoyed a lovely breakfast.

After cleaning up the dishes, the group headed together to Liu Lan’s house to deliver the gifts.

Liu Lan’s family is one of the top families in the brigade, with five big brick houses, two large yards, and next to the yard, a large empty space where a storage room was built.

Grandpa Liu and his family are hardworking and capable, with plenty of labor.

The woodshed in the storage room was full, stacked neatly layer by layer, not with twigs, but durable logs.

"Where did you collect so much big firewood?!"

Wu Yongfei looked envious; this kind of wood was excellent for cooking, and convenient for heating the kang at night without needing to add wood in the middle of the night, throw in a couple of logs before bed and it would last until morning.

"From the mountain."

Liu came out with firewood and cheerfully replied, "Come inside, don’t stand in the yard in the wind, it’s cold."

Indeed, it was quite cold.

Although the snow had stopped today and the sun was out, the wind was strong.

It made their faces feel like they were about to crack.

"Let’s go, let’s deliver the gifts first."

Then, the group went to the main room, where the clerk, Liu Xiangqian, was recording the gift list, behind Yi Chichi’s group was Liu Xiaocao’s mother, Big Mouth.

This lady handed over a bunch of pickles, "Bighead, record it for me."

Liu Xiangqian’s grip on his pen tightened, gritting his teeth, "My name is Liu Xiangqian, not Bighead."

For crying out loud, how is Gou Dan managing his wife?

Always acting inappropriately.

"Alright, Bighead, make sure to write it down for me."

Big Mouth urged, in a hurry to crack melon seeds.

Liu Xiangqian was helpless, this person never seemed to understand human language, oh well, Bighead it is, it’s no big deal, he can just go and punch Gou Dan later at night.

With this in mind, he swiftly noted down Big Mouth’s pickles.

Big Mouth attended literacy classes, knew a few big characters, and recognized her name, and seeing it written down, happily headed off to Madam Liu, who was responsible for distributing the melon seeds today.

Limited quantities, they really couldn’t let people help themselves, only distributed.

Otherwise, they’d be gone in a flash.

Yi Chichi had no interest in melon seeds; eating them gave her a fever and mouth ulcers, this constitution in the original world, and the original owner’s body had the same problem.

Therefore, after giving the gift, she headed straight to Liu Lan’s room to see her.

Liu Xiaocao and the others had already arrived, accompanying the new bride Liu Lan and chatting with her.

Seeing Yi Chichi come in, they quickly waved, "Chichi, come see if Lanlan looks good today."

"I’d say oh my gosh..."

Seeing Liu Lan, Yi Chichi was startled by her makeup, my goodness, who did this makeup?

Such a pretty girl, how did they paint her like a ghost?

With the red floral cotton jacket and pants, just missing a veil to illustrate Chinese-style horror.

This makeup really wasted Liu Lan’s looks.

"You all think this looks good?"

"Isn’t it?"

Liu Xiaocao and her friends looked at Yi Chichi then at Liu Lan, feeling it looked quite nice.

Look at this little white face, and how red the lips were, beautiful, wasn’t it?

Liu Lan trusted Yi Chichi’s aesthetics, hearing this she replied, "Honestly, I felt something was off too, but Xiao Cao and the others said it looked good."

In other words: she’s not satisfied with this makeup, but she can’t do it herself, so she had to let Liu Xiaocao and others handle it.

Yi Chichi understood, rolled up her sleeves, "Wash your face clean, I’ll do your makeup."

"Alrighty."

Liu Lan responded happily, then swiftly washed her face and took out the makeup products to give her.

Speaking of makeup products, it was just three items: snow cream, a lipstick, and a compact powder.

"Not bad, even got the compact powder."
