Qi Mei always felt that her and Chen Songbai's child would arrive soon, and before that, she needed to save money!
In the future, she wants her children to read, to read lots of books, and to leave this place to see a bigger world.
But she didn't tell Chen Songbai this, afraid he would laugh at her for having such wild ideas.
No child in the entire brigade has yet been able to go to school and go to a big city.
But she had this ideal and felt that she could achieve it.
Qi Mei is not a parasitic plant; she has to work hard to save money for her family.
Chen Songbai finally agreed, but on the condition that he would go with him.
Mushroom picking usually happens after rain. The soil on the mountain is muddy and slippery. What if she falls if no one is with her?
Qi Mei had no choice but to agree.
Later, the women of the village saw the couple picking mushrooms in the mountains, and some even laughed behind their backs, saying that Chen Songbai was afraid of his wife...
Lin Yu woke up early in the morning to a commotion. When she opened the door, she saw her younger brother, Lin Yi.
He was holding something and talking to it.
Erniu watched from the side, wanting to try it herself.
After saying a few words, Lin Yi handed the thing to her: "Try it."
Unlike Lin Yi's boyish voice, Er Niu's voice was very sweet. Her Mandarin was standard, and her intonation was so pleasant to listen to, like singing.
Lin Yu couldn't help but applaud after hearing this.
"Erniu, you're great! One more!"
Erniu was very happy to be praised by her older sister. She wasn't shy at all and said with a smile, "Let me sing you a song."
Then he sang "Let Us Row Our Boats".
A pretty little girl, dressed in simple clothes, with two little braids, stood in the yard singing with a smile.
Passersby stopped to watch.
After she finished singing, everyone applauded for her.
Lin Yi added, "Isn't this megaphone useful? You don't even need to shout; it can make your voice louder. Erniu, with this megaphone, you'll be a little pop star."
"That's because Erniu is a naturally good singer." Lin Yu walked over, picked up the megaphone, and examined it closely.
"You did this?"
Lin Yi nodded proudly: "I made it. Isn't it amazing? We'll use this to read the newspaper to our grandparents from now on."
This loudspeaker took Lin Yi a lot of time to make, and the effect is indeed quite good.
Lin Yu isn't very good at handicrafts, but she really admires her younger brother. He seems to have good manual skills.
"Well done, you can study radios in the future."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "A radio? Can I use that?"
At that time, a radio was a big purchase, and not every family could afford it.
They don't have any.
Lin Yu noticed that her grandparents also enjoyed listening to Lin Yi and Er Niu read the newspaper, and she was recently thinking about buying one.
So I just casually said it to Lin Yi.
Little did they know that Lin Yi was already itching to make a radio.
With this new toy, it became much easier for the two children to read the newspaper to the team.
Grandparents actually prefer Erniu's voice; it's clear and melodious. She sings beautifully, and even when she reads the newspaper, it sounds rhythmic, which is very pleasant to listen to.
Lin Yi didn't feel frustrated. The more Erniu read, the more time he had to read and study.
In the past, he would learn whatever the teacher taught, but now he wants to learn on his own.
He has read all of his father's mechanical books, but some of the content is too profound for him to understand.
At this moment, Gu Yunze actually found him a lot of books on this subject!
"You have to start from the basics to understand those advanced books."
Ever since seeing Lin Yi's book at the Lin family's house and learning that he was interested in this subject, Gu Yunze called Beicheng and asked someone to help him find the book.
He had many acquaintances in the northern part of the city, and they quickly helped him find the books.
Lin Yu flipped through it and found it to be an introductory-level book, perfect for someone like Lin Yi who didn't have much of a foundation.
Lin Yi was also delighted to see these books; his thirst for knowledge made him instantly forget his hostility towards Gu Yunze.
"Thank you, Gu Zhiqing!" Lin Yi smiled happily.
Gu Yunze patted the little boy on the shoulder: "You're welcome. Study hard."
The little boy ran back to his room with the book, probably intending to start reading immediately.
Lin Yu thanked him, after all, his kindness to his younger brother was also because of her.
Gu Yunze smiled and said, "It's my duty to please my brother-in-law, otherwise I'm afraid he won't allow me to marry his sister."
Lin Yu pushed him with such force that he would have been knocked over if he hadn't been steady on his feet.
"Who's your brother-in-law, Comrade Gu Yunze? Please don't get any wild ideas."
"How am I being delusional? Comrade Lin Yu, any relationship that doesn't aim for marriage is just playing around. Are you trying to play around with me?"
Lin Yu didn't want to act like a hooligan, but he still had a mission to complete, and who knew when it would end?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Gu Yunze looked at her seriously and said, "We will get married, as soon as possible."
He finally met a girl he liked so much, so he definitely wanted to marry her as soon as possible, but it would just take a little more time.
Lin Yu is 20 years old this year and is not in a hurry to get married.
So I didn't take his words to heart.
-
On her way to work at the workshop, Lin Yu saw Li Dahui and Ou Manqing walking ahead of her.
The newlyweds had a very good relationship, so Lin Yu didn't go up to disturb them.
It had rained a couple of days ago, and there were still mud puddles on the ground. Li Dahui stopped, picked up Ou Manqing with one hand, and walked straight over.
Lin Yu whistled inwardly, thinking, "What boyfriend power!"
The two of them were acting like they were filming an idol drama. Ou Manqing was not her usual cold self in front of Li Dahui.
