Chapter 800 60 Yaozu Sister Control Group 37
The old woman Granny Jin that Granny Quan mentioned was a local shaman in the village. Her ancestors had been shamans, but for some reason they were exiled here to guard the tombs. However, some of her skills were passed down, and whenever there was a mysterious problem, the villagers would immediately think of her.
Although these things were forbidden after the founding of the People's Republic of China, people would still secretly look for them, and Old Jin's wife would help take a look or tidy up.
For example, when Grandma Quan's daughter-in-law's sister-in-law suddenly went mad, Grandma Quan suggested taking her to her place for a checkup.
As soon as they met, Old Jin said that she had urinated on the roof of Huang Daxian's house, which angered him. She said she was just teaching her a lesson and didn't really want to harm her. She just needed to sincerely apologize.
After that, they ordered a chicken, took it to a field ridge, had someone kowtow to them several times, and said a few kind words on their behalf. The person recovered the next day.
At first, Grandma Quan's daughter-in-law and her brother didn't really believe it. If it weren't for the fact that it was only one chicken, and they thought that even if it didn't work out, they could afford to lose money, they would have given it a try. They didn't even want to let anyone see it.
But now she doesn't even need to say it. Whenever something happens, they want to go to Old Granny Jin for advice. If the old lady hadn't stopped them, the old woman would have been driven crazy by them.
Grandma Xiao nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's really strange that he's gone mad. It's very possible that he was dealt with by some kind of spirit."
Xiao Yun: You guys really guessed right, it's me, this immortal!
When Xiao's father returned in the afternoon, he learned that the Zheng family father and son had managed to catch up with the main group heading to the commune. They were delayed because they had to clear the section of land affected by yesterday's avalanche.
When the Zheng family father and son pulled their sled over, they had just finished clearing the area, and the soldiers had also helped them clean up before leaving.
There's no other way; they can't get through if we don't clean it up.
The Zheng father and son tied the sled directly to the back of the mule-drawn sled and let it pull it together. They also took Zheng Pandi with them.
Because they were usually really lazy and rarely went out, they had only been to the commune a few times. Zheng Jinbao, on the other hand, had gone to the Zhang family a few times with his grandmother and mother to beg for alms and have some fun. But he was a bit silly, so the father and son could only drag Zheng Pandi, who was more familiar with the commune, along with them.
Qin Yuanfeng returned around the same time as Xiao's father. He even hitched a ride on a mule from the commune to pull his sled, which belonged to the Xiao family, so he simply brought a large package with him.
This package looks bigger than the last one. Last time there was an eight-pound cotton quilt, but I don't know what's in it this time.
Of course, this was the opinion of Grandma Xiao and the others, not Xiao Yun, because she had already seen that this package was the same one as last time. It seemed that Li's parents hadn't sent anything this time, and these were things Qin Yuanfeng added.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yun probed inside with his divine sense, he saw that it contained all the supplies she had given him before. In order to prevent his younger brother from suffering from hunger and cold on his first mission, she had given him a storage bag full of supplies, all from this era, so it wouldn't seem out of place to take them out.
The package contained two military overcoats, two Lei Feng hats, a bundle of cloth, and also Moutai liquor and ten boxes of Changjiang brand cigarettes.
The two military overcoats alone were as heavy as a cotton quilt, not to mention the other items inside. When Xiao Jiabao was helping to unload them from the sled, he misjudged the weight and almost couldn't climb onto the sled.
When the two men carried the things inside, they startled Grandma Xiao and the others. When they put them on the kang (a heated brick bed) and opened the door, the whole family stared in disbelief.
Putting everything else aside, those two military overcoats and hats alone were enough to attract attention. Grandpa Xiao and Dad Xiao even wiped their hands on their clothes before reaching out to touch them. At this moment, no man could resist military uniforms.
"Is this a new uniform for the troops? It's different from the one Fang Xiangdong is wearing."
Grandma Xiao was very perceptive and noticed the difference at a glance. Xiao Yun glanced at his younger brother and realized that the guy hadn't done enough research and had actually taken the Type 65 rifle. Luckily, it was already out and would be widely used next year, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
He quickly sent him a telepathic reminder. Qin Yuanfeng froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, this is the latest model. We're testing it out there now, and it will be rolled out across the entire army next year."
"This was given to me by my aunt. Her brother is in the military in our area, and he used his connections to get two extra sets so we could wear them as wedding attire."
These two coats are indeed two different sizes, one large and one small, which are perfect for him and Xiao Huandi. He planned to wear them as matching outfits in the future. He learned this from a video, so that even if they are not standing together, people can tell at a glance that they are a couple.
The Xiao family looked at him like he was a spendthrift whenever they saw anything else. Having such a son was truly a waste of money for the Li family!
Xiao Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Buying things for people you like is normal. Back when she was supporting those handsome young men, she spent lavishly. And now, the three people in her space are all open to them. They can take whatever they want.
Qin Yuanfeng handed the military overcoat and cotton military cap to Xiao Huandi, and then handed the bundle of fabric to Grandma Xiao and Xiao's mother. "Grandma, Aunt Yang, this is something my mother specially asked me to give you. In our area, we usually give clothes as engagement gifts, but they didn't know your sizes, so they simply bought a bolt of fabric and let you cut it yourselves."
After saying that, he picked up the wine and cigarettes and handed them to Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao. "Grandpa, Uncle Xiao, these are for you. These cigarettes are from our area. They're not as strong as regular tobacco. I don't know if you'll be used to them."
Then he took out a fountain pen from his cotton-padded coat pocket and handed it to Xiao Jiabao, saying, "This is for you. You must study hard and make progress every day."
Huandi looked at the gifts in their hands, then at her third sister's empty hand, and nudged her boyfriend with her elbow. Why was her third sister left out?
Qin Yuanfeng: ...These were all given to me by her. Would it be inappropriate for me to give them back?
Xiao Yun glanced at him sideways. What a blockhead! He couldn't even put on a proper act. Seeing that Huan Di was starting to glare at him, she still came to his rescue, saying, "Let's hurry up and eat. It's getting dark, and I'm starving."
Then she pulled Xiao Huandi aside and whispered, "What are you doing? These things were sent by your future in-laws, not bought by him. How can he possibly be so considerate? Don't worry, your sister won't stop you from marrying him because of this."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huandi realized that she had gone a bit too far. The main reason was that she had just been giving him gifts one by one, and subconsciously felt that he should not miss any, and for a moment she forgot that they were sent by his parents.
Grandma Xiao and Xiao's mother saw the sisters whispering to each other, so they put down their things and went to the outer room to get the food, which had been prepared earlier and was being kept warm in the pot.
After finishing their meal and seeing Qin Yuanfeng off, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took out the piece of cloth and began to examine it. Yang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "If we make a whole set of clothes, this cloth definitely won't be enough. How about we make a pair of pants for each of us? If there's any left, we can make a shirt for Dad and Jiabao so he can wear it to school when it gets warmer."
Grandma Xiao nodded; she thought so too. There was no need to discuss it; it would be their job, so the two of them would have the final say.
Lying in bed watching Huandi happily touching her military overcoat, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Just now, during dinner, she had asked Qin Yuanfeng telepathically if the original owner's parents disapproved of him finding a partner in the countryside.
Qin Yuanfeng gave a positive answer, saying that they were already preparing to use their connections to see if they could get him back to the city.
He wrote back directly from the post office, saying that in addition to finding a partner he truly liked, he had also met a benefactor who said that the situation was about to change and that they should not act rashly, but focus on their work and not say anything carelessly, either outside or at home.
Next year will be completely chaotic. He won't be able to go back to school in the city, and if he goes to work, he'll have to take over one of his parents' jobs, but he doesn't want to do it. Why bother?
Xiao Yun agreed with this statement; when things get chaotic, it's better to stay still than to act rashly, and sometimes the more you do, the more mistakes you make.
Anyway, Li's parents are both factory workers with a good social class background, and their family doesn't have any overseas connections or anything like that. As long as he doesn't say anything carelessly, it's highly unlikely to have any impact.
Zheng Pandi returned the next day at noon. She came back to replace Zheng Jinbao and also sent someone with money, as the health center couldn't cure Zheng Jinbao's illness and suggested they go to the county to see a doctor.
The Zheng family dotes on this precious child, and when it comes to his health, they won't hesitate to give him up. They're even planning to go to the county to see him.
The reason Zheng Pandi was brought back was because we didn't trust her and were afraid she would steal the money for Zheng Jinbao's medical treatment and run away.
By the time the Zheng family returned after their commotion, it was already the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Even the poorest families had cooked a pot of corn porridge, and the air above the village was filled with the aroma of various grains.
Zheng Jinbao walked back on his own, following behind the Zheng family. His eyes were still dazed, but walking and eating were not affected. When he was in the hospital, he could eat and defecate normally, and he even smeared things all over the place with his hands. The hospital couldn't stand it and kicked them out.
