Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

It took Yi Chi two days to sew the mattress. Although he was not a very dexterous man, the mattress was smooth and firm, which showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.

But seeing that Jiang Yu hadn't gone up the mountain yet, he hesitated whether to go down the mountain to find her.

Although many people in the village knew that Jiang Yu helped him repair the house, which could be explained as her kindness, if the two of them got close, there would definitely be people who would talk nonsense behind their backs.

Jiang Yu didn't know what he was thinking, but after harvesting the cabbages in the field, she started running into the mountains again.

When she was going down the mountain, she passed by a small reservoir and saw Yi Chi standing outside the wooden house looking at her. When she stopped, the man waved at her.

Jiang Yu thought his meat was ready, so he went around with the firewood on his back.

Yi Chi took out two backpacks, one with a fur mattress and the other covered with hay. "The mattress is made of rabbit fur, not valuable, but warm enough to use in winter. Under the hay is the bacon you asked me to pack. Go back and store it in a cool and dry place. It will last for a long time."

Jiang Yu lifted the hay and looked at it. After confirming that he had left some for himself, he picked up the backpacks and put them on his back, one on each side. "Thank you." She had seen him packing rabbit skins before and thought he was going to use them for himself, but she didn't expect that he was going to give them to her. She originally wanted to refuse them, but when she looked at the wooden house, she felt that it would be bad for others to receive her favor for nothing. Anyway, rabbit skins were not hard to come by, so she accepted them.

Yi Chi smiled with satisfaction, "There is something in the mattress, just accept it. You probably know that I am not short of money, that thing is for you to kill time, I also kept one for myself."

Jiang Yu shook the backpack containing the mattress in confusion. She was very strong and normally she didn't notice the weight at all. But now she felt it carefully and found that it was indeed quite heavy.

Something to kill time? Could it be a book? That's good. She was going to go to the recycling station to pick up some books for the winter, but now she can save trouble. "Got it. You should store more firewood. We'll exchange it for food soon. If you don't have enough work points and need to buy food, you can come to me. I'll buy it for you." Because Yi Chi didn't want to show off his wealth in the village.

Yi Chi did plan to buy some fine food. After all, he had decided to take good care of his body, so he had to keep up with the food. However, he was going to ask his uncle for help at first. "Okay, I'll think about how much to buy and I'll give you the money later."

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll go." Then he picked up the firewood and quickly went down the mountain.

Yi Chi followed her a few steps forward, looking at her back, and only turned back to the house after she walked onto the straight road.

Jiang Yu slammed the door, threw the firewood aside, put down the backpack, and then remembered that Yi Chi said there was something in the backpack, so he picked up one of the things and took it to the kang to pour it out.

The soft mattress was spread out, revealing a large radio inside.

Jiang Yu took a small breath. It seems that he has good fortune recently? Either he is fed by friends or receives gifts? What is the price of the radio?

She scratched her head. Sometimes she felt that she shouldn't accept it, but sometimes she felt that Yi Chi would definitely not let her return it. She didn't know how to deal with it.

Sure enough, social conventions are very troublesome!

Build a house and get a radio?

She could accept the idea of ​​sharing one third of the meat with him and a mattress in return, but the radio was a bit expensive.

Jiang Yu put the radio on the wooden cabinet beside the bed and began to organize the bacon, but he was still thinking about something and his movements were quite slow.

The cured pheasants and rabbits were hung on the beams one by one. Jiang Yu took an egg from the cupboard and started to cook noodles.

The radio is very practical. Not only can it kill time, but it can also provide information from the outside world. If she hadn't collected all the parts, she might have used it by now.

But if you want to buy a radio, it's probably not easy. Besides, people keep this thing at home and use it carefully, so it's not easy to be stolen or disposed of.

If Jiang Yu insists on returning this one, it’s fine, but I don’t know where the next one is.

She calculated that the pheasants and rabbits could add up to about 20 yuan, but this could be offset by the rabbit skin mattress.

Renovating a house in the countryside cost too much, not to mention it was such a small wooden house. All the materials were prepared by Yi Chi himself, and the labor cost was about ten or twenty yuan.

But the price of radios these days ranges from 50 to 120, depending on the size and model, plus the ticket. Jiang Yu was wondering what he could use to make up the difference.

She looked around the room, then rummaged through her own space, took out a few plants of astragalus and a small ginseng wrapped in moss and placed them on the table. She thought for a moment, took a set of bowls and plates, put all these things in the basket, covered it with a piece of cloth, and hurried out again.

Jiang Yu quickly rushed to the outside of the cabin and was about to knock on the door when Yi Chi happened to hear footsteps and opened the door.

"What's wrong?" Yi Chi guessed that she might want to change the radio back, but when he glanced at the basket and saw that the things inside were not of the same size, he was immediately relieved.

Jiang Yu handed over the basket, raised her chin slightly and looked into his eyes, "Since you are planning to take care of yourself, then it's appropriate for me to give you these herbs. You can make soup or tea with them. As for the tableware, I saw that you used wooden ones. It happened that I cooked a lot last time and had some left, so I brought a few for you to use."

Yi Chi smiled gently, "I'll make some soup later and give you some." Girls should also drink some soup to nourish their bodies. This is what the soldiers from Province Y in the base said. They like to make soup for nourishment.

Jiang Yu thought about his craftsmanship and nodded, "Okay."

Yi Chi took the basket, turned around and went into the house, took out the things in the basket, put a can of food and a small bag of red dates in it, covered it with the cloth, and gave it back to Jiang Yu, "It's getting late, and it's getting dark soon. You should go back early to cook and eat."

Jiang Yu held the heavy basket and pursed his lips. Now, you give me things, I give you things in return, and then you give you things again... It's an endless cycle, right?

She looked at the man with curved eyebrows and felt that his actions were a bit of a headache. After all, she didn't know what to give him next time. She squeezed the handle, said something and left, and turned around to go down the mountain.

Yi Chi watched her walk away with excitement in his heart, then went into the house to sort out the medicinal herbs she had given him.

Holding the ginseng wrapped in moss in his hand, Yi Chi felt helpless. After all, ginseng is always a top-grade medicinal material with high price. Although this one is not big, it should be no problem to sell it for dozens of dollars. Now, because of the radio, it was taken out as a return gift.

He thought about the property stored in the cave, which also contained a lot of good medicinal herbs. Should he take some out to eat? It happened that Jiang Yu didn't refuse him and said that he would share the soup with her. The herbs were stewed into soup to nourish her.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have definitely refuted and rejected him.

Supplement? What supplement? Who needs supplement? With her body and physique, a cow is not as strong as her! It is useless!
