There is a mountain in her arms
Chapter 9 Bullpen
After the banquet, they simply washed up and gathered in their grandparents' room to chat.
"Old lady, this is the money and receipt from the waiter's sale of walnuts today. It's quite a bit! I gave him a hundred, and here is one thousand six hundred and thirty-two."
Grandpa Jiang took out the large stack of banknotes from under the mattress and gave it to his wife.
Grandma Jiang's eyes lit up and she took it.
"Can something you get for free in the mountains be sold for so much money?"
"I guess it's because they're taking advantage of the New Year. Besides, walnuts are a tonic!"
"That's all thanks to Xiao Er. Isn't there also money from the guy in the bullpen in this? How much is appropriate?"
"Give him three hundred, then! And prepare some more food and vegetables for him, and a piece of meat. We are taking advantage of him anyway, so we can send them some food from time to time to make up for it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll prepare it tomorrow, and you can find a chance to send it to them."
"Grandpa, I'll go too. It's too conspicuous for you to carry so many things over. I can help."
Jiang Yichen was a little curious about the cowshed at that time and wanted to go and take a look.
"I think it's okay. You should stay away from people. If Cheng Cheng shows up and others find out, they can just say that the child is just curious."
"I'll take the change, and keep the rest in your space. No one can steal it."
Grandma Jiang took out the thirty-two yuan and some bills, and asked her to keep the rest. Since the space was exposed, her grandmother gave her all the money in the house except for some spare money.
According to her, with so much money at home, she didn't dare go out to visit friends every day and didn't dare sleep soundly at night. Now she can finally sleep well.
Jiang Yichen did not refuse and even made a special box to put the money and bills in.
After a good night's sleep, Jiang Yichen opened the curtains the next day and saw snowflakes falling outside.
Jiang Yicheng was a little excited, she had loved snow since she was a child, because only when it snowed would the instructor not let them train.
"Chengcheng, let's prepare some things for Chi now and send them over! The weather is going to get colder, and if it snows heavily, it will be easy for people to see the traces on the ground."
"Ah."
The old couple are both generous and kind people. Besides, because of the ancestors of the Jiang family, Grandpa Jiang has some knowledge, so he has never had any prejudice against those who live in the cowshed.
Grandma Jiang was very skillful and in no time she had prepared a lot of things.
Half a bag of cornmeal, half a bag of sweet potatoes, a few large radishes and cabbages from the vegetable garden, two pounds of pork and half a bag of potatoes, and five pounds of rice were also put into the backpack.
"I don't know if his grandfather's health has improved. These fine grains can nourish his stomach."
The backpack was pressed tightly so that it could barely hold everything.
The father and son didn't even have breakfast. They just got dressed and went out.
It was so cold so early in the morning, and most people were still sleeping in. Jiang Yicheng followed his grandfather through most of the village, and walked further and further away before he saw a low, dilapidated house.
It was really run-down, with mud walls roughly built around it, and the wooden roof didn't look very solid, so it was just covered with thatch. This house couldn't possibly be lived in, right?
Grandpa Jiang chose a slightly secluded place. Jiang Yichen took out the prepared supplies in the space and asked Grandpa to guard it. She then quietly slipped out of the cowshed.
The door of the cowshed is just an ordinary wooden fence with a layer of torn bags tied on it to prevent wind.
Jiang Yicheng pushed the door open gently, and what came into view was a small dwelling divided into several small compartments. She didn't know which room Chi Yuan lived in, so she called out softly.
"Brother Ikegaki!"
"Little girl, who are you looking for?"
The straw curtain of the house opposite was lifted, and an old man with gray hair walked out.
His face looked severely malnourished, his hair was messy, and his sleeves swayed gently in the wind, making him look even thinner.
"Who are you looking for, little girl? This is not a place for you to come."
Seeing that she didn't answer, he asked again.
"Chi Yuan, I'm looking for Chi Yuan!"
"The first room on the left over there."
"Thank you!"
Jiang Yichen saw him go into the small shack at the back after he finished speaking. He could still hear his breathing. He must have been cold after being out for such a short while.
She walked straight to the outside of Chi Yuan's shed and called out tentatively.
The straw curtain was opened, and he was stunned when he saw Jiang Yicheng outside, and subconsciously pulled her in. Afterwards, he felt a little regretful and grabbed his trouser legs nervously.
The environment here is quite bad. The space is very small and it is difficult for two people to turn around. There is also a pungent smell.
At the innermost part, there is a simple bed made of a mixture of stone and wood. It is not big and would probably be a bit tight for two people to sleep on.
Moreover, there was only a thin blanket on the bed, and the blanket looked very thin, as if there was only one layer. On top of it were a few pieces of thin coarse cloth clothes, and a thick layer of pudding.
A simple earthen stove was built with stones next to the bed, and a deformed cooking pot was placed on it.
There was a crooked little table next to it, with two broken bowls with broken edges and a paint-chipped enamel pot on it.
"Cheng Cheng, why are you here? Did anyone see you? Or do you have something to talk to me about?"
Chi Yuan was a little embarrassed. There was no place for them to sit, and he wanted to pour her some water but he didn't have a cup that he could carry.
"Yeah! We sent you something, and my grandpa is guarding outside!"
Jiang Yichen noticed his uneasiness, and whispered concisely in his ear, and pointed outside at the end.
“Can you trust the people living here?”
Chi Yuan nodded. "They are all very good people. When my grandpa was sick, they took care of him for me. My grandpa went to talk to Grandpa Wang. I'll go talk to him."
Jiang Yicheng nodded, and was relieved. As soon as Chi Yuan went out, he soon brought in a thin old man with gray hair.
“Grandpa Chi!”
Jiang Yicheng greeted him politely, and Chi Yuan took her away.
In order to prevent someone from being outside, Chi Yuan came out and looked around before he dared to call her out.
"Grandpa Jiang, so many?"
Chi Yuan was a little surprised. Grandpa Jiang whispered to him about the walnuts.
"Okay, just take it in quietly. We've been out for a long time."
"Ok!"
After all, Chi Yuan was only ten years old, and in this place where there was no oil or water, he didn't have much strength, so he ran three times before he got all the things.
Old Man Chi in the cowshed felt his eyes warm as he looked at the things his grandson had moved in.
"This family is full of kind people! If we have the ability in the future, we will definitely repay them."
"I know! Then what should we do with these things? I didn't expect Chengcheng and the others to send so many. We can't put them all here."
"Well! Give some to the old guys next to you. Let me see how to divide it."
When Jiang Yichen returned home with her grandfather, she felt her face was frozen and she had to hold a hot water bottle for a while before she recovered.
Grandma Jiang brought breakfast to the table, millet porridge with egg pancakes, and a plate of pickles and sausages.
The little guy An An is becoming more and more restless to stay in bed. He will fall off the bed if you are not careful, which scares people to death, but he still laughs foolishly.
Breakfast was quickly finished with An An playing around. Maybe because he had just exerted too much energy, he fell asleep with his eyes closed soon. His adorable little appearance was so lovable.
Grandma Jiang picked up her needle and thread and started making clothes. Grandpa Jiang couldn't sit still and prepared to make a rattle for An An. Jiang Yicheng moved a small stool and sat next to them to chat with them.
"Okay, come on, let's try and see if we should reel it in."
Grandma Jiang has very skillful hands. In just three or two days, she had finished making grandpa’s cotton-padded jacket.
Grandpa Jiang put down the tools in his hand, put them on and turned around with a smile.
"Grandpa, you look so cool in this!"
"Haha! Really? It's because your grandma is good at it."
Grandpa Jiang was very happy to put on his new clothes, but he was afraid that they would get dirty, so he put on his old clothes after trying them on.
Jiang Yichen's eyes darkened as he watched. He decided to buy more clothes for the two elders in the future.
Grandma Jiang looked at them with a smile and picked up her needle and thread again. She made all their cotton-padded clothes first and then her own.
The snow lasted for three days before it stopped, and Jiang Yichen stayed at home for three days without going out.
Looking at the vast expanse of white outside, it was much more snow than she had ever seen in her previous life.
Grandma Jiang’s cotton-padded clothes are also ready. There are still about twenty days before the New Year, and she will be perfect to wear them then.
Now their main activities are in the space because the temperature here is still constant.
They specially cleaned up two rooms, one of which was the room where Jiang Yichen had slept in his previous life.
During the day, I stay in the space and work. Yes! That’s right! I just work.
Jiang Yichen later discovered that time in the warehouse was still. It had been more than a month, and the fish in the warehouse were still alive and well.
Later, she picked a lot of vegetables from the vegetable garden next to the warehouse and placed them in the warehouse and other places.
The vegetables in other places have gradually wilted, only those in the warehouse are still fresh and tender, as if they had just been picked.
She told her grandparents about her discovery, and the old couple reorganized the warehouse, making some space to store the picked fruits.
Because she asked Grandpa if he could sell the fruits outside? Grandpa struggled for a while and was ready to take her out to try.
During these three days, the three of them worked like hardworking little bees and only managed to pick fruits from a dozen trees.
She originally thought that she could pick all the fruits with just a thought. Who knew that this idiot thing wouldn't work at all!
She could only teleport back and forth, luckily there was this function, otherwise she would have to consider settling down in the orchard.
The three of them were almost exhausted every day, and only stopped the operation when they saw the warehouse was full. However, there were still three-fifths of the fruits that had not been picked, not to mention the grapes and watermelons hanging on the ground.
Speaking of watermelon, I still remember the surprise the old couple felt when they ate it for the first time. Later, they used watermelon as a thirst quencher and didn’t even want to drink water.
After staying in the space for another two days, there was a knock on the door and Jiang Yichen hurriedly brought them out.
"Who is it?"
"Uncle, it's me!"
"Weiguo?"
Grandpa Jiang rubbed his hands with the snow water at the door, put on his cotton coat and went to open the door. Because it was hot working in the space before, they didn't wear much.
"Uncle, aren't you cold? Put on your clothes quickly."
Jiang Weiguo felt a little worried when he saw that his second uncle didn't wear his cotton-padded jacket properly.
"Oh, it's okay! Why are you here?"
"It snowed so heavily that several houses in the village collapsed. I went to every household to ask."
"Is that man okay? What about the bullpen? Did you check it out?"
"It's lucky. The houses that collapsed in the village were all side buildings, and no one was living there. The cowshed was more serious. One room in the middle collapsed, but luckily no one was hurt. I've asked someone to repair it."
"Ah? I'll help too!"
"Uncle, don't. There are enough people here. Your family is counting on you! Don't join in the fun. The weather is bad already."
"Okay then. I'll go take a look."
Grandpa Jiang was still worried and wanted to go and take a look. Jiang Weiguo also wanted to go, so he said hello to Second Aunt and left together.
"Oh my! This is really a natural disaster. Don't let anyone get sick from the cold. The roads are slippery in the snow. I'm afraid it's hard to go out."
"Grandma, why don't you find some old mattresses and clothes that you don't wear at home, and ask grandpa to send them over when the time comes. When I was there last time, they were all wearing very thin clothes. Brother Chi Yuan and the others used a very thin mattress as a cushion, and they seemed to be covered with old clothes. I don't know if they can handle the sudden drop in temperature?"
"Is it so difficult? Fortunately, most of the people in our village are very kind, and your great uncle didn't make things difficult for them, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long. Okay, I'll go look for them now."
Jiang Yichen actually wanted to say it the last time she saw it, but her grandparents had lived a hard life before, and they didn’t have many clothes, so she didn’t feel comfortable saying it.
This time, she found a few unopened military cotton coats in the space for them to wear. Grandma Jiang also carefully sewed a layer of outer cover on the outside so that it would not be visible.
This way they would have enough cotton clothes for the winter, and the old ones could be given away. Giving away new ones would arouse suspicion, but giving away old ones would be fine.
After a while, Grandma Jiang packed a big bag.
It was not until Grandpa Jiang came back that he learned about the situation in the cowshed.
It turned out that there were six people living in the cowshed, two people in a room. The middle room collapsed. Jiang Yichen guessed that it was the room of the person who showed her the way.
As the team leader, Jiang Weiguo called on several strong men to help them with the repairs so that they could move in tonight.
"Then you can send these things over later! I think you should give away the old ones you have on as well, since you still have a few new ones."
Grandma Jiang told her husband about their plan, and even took off the clothes he was wearing.
Grandpa Jiang's eyes lit up. He still liked the military cotton coat very much. Even with an outer coat on, he felt happy.
Of course, the old couple didn't know that it was a military cotton coat, because Jiang Yicheng secretly tore off the label. They just thought the style was novel and good-looking, and it was also resistant to dirt.
Grandpa Jiang put on a new cotton coat and looked very energetic. As for the package, he planned to go back at night to avoid being caught and causing trouble for his nephew.
Grandma Jiang also felt that it should be done quietly, as it would be bad if one had good intentions but ended up with bad results.
After having dinner early, as night fell, Grandpa Jiang went out carrying the bag.
It was too cold in the cowshed at this time, so everyone crowded in the room where Chi Yuan and others lived to warm themselves by the fire.
Watching him go out and come back with a bag bigger than his own, I instantly calmed down.
