Chapter 141 Trouble
As a bystander, Lin Shuyin understood a truth even more deeply through Shen Yongjing's incident: raising a child is really not easy!
The girls are grown up and married, but I am still worried.
Shen Guannan also thought so. He talked to Lin Shuyin.
"Wife, when our daughter is looking for a date, she must choose a good person."
Shen Guannan didn't think highly of the in-laws his sister had found. His sister's wife was okay, but he didn't think much of his parents, not to mention that he also had a terrible sister-in-law.
He dared to guarantee that if the same thing happened to him, his parents and his sister would definitely not have the same attitude as the Chen family.
Lin Shuyin: "Of course, we have to consider not only the character of the son-in-law, but also the character of his parents and family relationships."
The son-in-law's character value should be above 85, and his family members' character value should be above 65 at least.
Shen Guannan, "Let Siyu study more in the future. The two of us were unable to go to university. If she doesn't get the college entrance examination, she can go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
Lin Shuyin nodded, "That's natural."
"Guan Nan, do you think it is likely that the college entrance examination will be resumed?"
Shen Guannan sighed, "It's hard to say, but I feel that the possibility of recovery will be greater in the future. After all, the college entrance examination is a way to select talents."
There is no college entrance examination now, and admission to university depends on recommendation. What kind of people go there? Some have a high school diploma, while others only have a second-year elementary school diploma.
For example, can you understand what the teacher says?
“I don’t know what college life is like.”
Shen Guannan had pretty good grades in high school, and if his education hadn't been cancelled, he might have been able to go to college.
Lin Shuyin said, "It should be exciting."
That's it, nothing special.
"Guannan, do you want to go to college?"
Shen Guannan turned around and hugged her, smiling, "Why would I go to college? I'm married with kids, and I'm in the military now. I'm just curious."
Lin Shuyin said, "Well, a university is also a school. It's probably similar to a high school."
"I think so. Is my daughter asleep?"
Lin Shuyin: "...slept."
Half an hour later, Shen Guannan kissed the person in his arms, "Wife, when we get old, will you dislike me?"
Lin Shuyin was puzzled, "Why do you ask that? Why do you dislike me?"
Shen Guannan, "I am seven years older than you. You are 23 years old this year, and I am 30."
"You're 33, and I'm 40."
"By analogy, you are 63 and I am 70. You are very young and I am very old."
As he spoke, Shen Guannan became sad. "Besides these, I died earlier than you. My wife, I can't bear to leave you."
"Even though I'm old, don't despise me..."
Lin Shuyin, "What are you thinking about every day? How could I possibly dislike you? I love you so much, and I love you more and more every year."
Shen Guannan blinked at her, "Really?"
Lin Shuyin kissed his eyes, "Really, really, my love for you is evident to all."
Shen Guannan, "Wife, I love you too. I will definitely exercise well."
Lin Shuyin, "Don't you exercise every day?"
"Exercise more."
Otherwise his wife would dislike him when he gets old.
Thirty-year-old Captain Shen is suffering from age anxiety.
We spent the New Year of 1986 in Beijing. It was very lively and crowded. We made dumplings together on New Year's Eve and visited friends on the first day of the New Year. Shen Guannan showed off his daughter in his arms to others.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen were the same. They would praise their granddaughter even if she ate one more bite.
Lin Shuyin thought that if Shen Guannan had a mobile phone, he would definitely post a circle of friends every day, just like the netizens complained about the mother who posted nine pictures of her baby every day, and all nine pictures were almost the same.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the daughter and son-in-law return home.
Sister Shen’s eldest brother-in-law, Shen Yongjing and Chen Lijun.
Shen Yongjing whispered to Lin Shuyin and the others,
"Sister, sister-in-law, you don't know how annoying my sister-in-law is. The day before yesterday was New Year's Eve, and Lijun and I went back to have dinner."
"She hid in her room for a whole day."
"It was the same thing yesterday."
Shen Lanying, "What are you doing? Hiding from you, or from both of you?"
Shen Yongjing, "It's me. She's on good terms with her brother. Her brother slapped her a few days ago... She told people that I was the one who instigated the fight."
Yang Caijie said, "Your sister-in-law is so...what's wrong with this child?"
Lin Shuyin, "It was fine before, but now that you're pregnant, you should be careful. If she gets emotional and pushes you one day, you'll be in trouble."
Using scissors to cut the quilt, what if one day the scissors stab someone? Shen Yongjing, the sister-in-law, reminded her of Xu Jiaojiao.
Could it be that she is also mentally ill?
Shen Yongjing, "Sister-in-law, I understand. I only went there during the Chinese New Year. I won't go there unless there is something else in the future."
She herself is the sister-in-law, so she really doesn't understand what Chen Hongxia is saying and why she hates her sister-in-law so much. She likes her two sisters-in-law very much.
But her second sister-in-law was right. She should stay away from her sister-in-law. If she really goes crazy and pushes her away one day...she had this child with great difficulty.
The New Year lasts only three days: New Year's Eve, the first and second days of the New Year, and everyone goes back to work on the third day.
Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan also returned on the third day of the junior high school entrance examination.
Arrived home two days later.
After a day of rest, we returned to the team.
Sarin is closer to Lin Shuyin, and he talks to Lin Shuyin about any private issues.
"Shuyin, do you think I will get pregnant again?"
Damn, the condom the hospital gave me broke.
Lin Shuyin suppressed her laughter, "How intense are the two of you?"
Although I am married and have children, I still feel a little embarrassed to discuss this issue with others, Sarin said.
"...No, it just broke by itself."
It was a bit intense that night, but it shouldn't have broken.
Lin Shuyin, "Do you two still want a second child?"
Sarin, "I don't know. We can't have one yet. Nan Ding is only a little old."
This means that you want it.
Lin Shuyin, "I think if you don't want a second child, you can ask Jianshe to get the sterilization done."
"Don't worry too much about this. It's not that easy."
Sarensou said, "It's mainly because I have irregular menstruation. Otherwise, I could have judged it based on my menstruation. Look, it's been almost five months since I gave birth, and it hasn't come yet."
"By the way, Shuyin, how did you two avoid each other? Do you have an IUD?"
Lin Shuyin shook her head, "No."
Sarin, "How do you avoid it?"
This question is really, Lin Shuyin, "Use it."
Actually, it’s out there, and there’s no insurance. But it’s been almost three years since Siyu was born, and I haven’t won a single time.
Sarin, "It breaks easily."
"It's really worrying."
Lin Shuyin, "You two should have gone to the hospital and taken medicine when you found out you had a wound."
There are also contraceptive pills in this era.
Sarin, “I didn’t expect that.”
Because of this, she couldn't eat for the past few days. She definitely couldn't have a baby, but having an abortion was also troublesome, with all kinds of problems.
She still has to take care of herself during the confinement period.
Seeing that she was really worried, Lin Shuyin asked, "Tell me, how many days have passed since that night?"
Sarin, "It's been ten days. It's been ten days before the Chinese New Year."
Lin Shuyin told Salin about the reactions of the fertilized egg implanting in the uterus, "Think back and see if it did or didn't. If not, then you probably don't have any."
Sarin was excited, "No!"
Lin Shuyin, "Then you don't have to worry, you are 99% sure."
Sarin patted his chest and said, "Shuyin, I knew I was right to ask you. I've been so worried these days that I can't even eat."
Lin Shuyin, "I understand. Go back and eat more today."
After hearing what Lin Shuyin said, Sarin felt much more relieved.
About a week later, her period came.
Saren always feels uncomfortable during her menstrual period, luckily it only happens two or three times a year. But this time Saren was very happy, even the slight pain was so "comfortable".
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the New Year is almost over.
Lin Shuyin received a letter from her mother. After reading the letter, Lin Shuyin frowned. Shen Guannan saw that his wife looked unhappy, so he asked, "What did your mother say in the letter?"
Lin Shuyin handed him the letter and said, "It's annoying. Our motherland is so big, but you have to come to my place to live in the countryside. I'm so angry. I don't care."
Lin's mother said in the letter that her uncle's second daughter, who was also her cousin, had come to the countryside to live in a village near Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Province.
Lin's father has an older brother and a younger brother, and Lin's mother also has an older brother, a younger brother, and two older sisters.
These relatives only visit each other during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, and do not visit each other on other days.
There are five children in my uncle's family. The second one who went to the countryside is called Zhang Hongying. She should be 18 years old this year, five years younger than her. Lin Shuyin hasn't seen her for several years. She said nonsense, she has never seen her at all. It was the original owner who had seen her and it was in the original owner's memory.
Shen Guannan received the letter and said, "Don't be angry, wife."
"We'll wait and see when the people arrive. Most people are embarrassed to trouble their relatives. You see, Fengnian usually doesn't look for me unless there is something."
Lin Shuyin, "I hope so. I'm worried about taking care of people."
"Guan Nan, you said that I am not suitable for a big family. If possible, I don't want to have any contact with relatives. It's troublesome."
Shen Guannan smiled and said, "My wife and I are the same, so the army is very suitable for us. We only go back once every few years."
Lin Shuyin, "I'll talk to Jianshe tomorrow."
Lin's mother is really something. She said she would take care of your cousin like she took care of your brother. She is crazy. She doesn't even know who Lin Jianshe is or who Zhang Hongying is!
Shen Guannan, "Yeah, go ahead and complain."
After being married for several years, Shen Guannan also discovered his wife's attitude towards her family. She only had a good relationship with her brother-in-law Lin Jianshe, and was indifferent to everyone else.
Of course, he also understood why his wife did this. His wife had nagged him about it before. If it were him, he would do the same.
Thinking of this, Shen Guannan felt happy again. He and his wife were indeed a match made in heaven, a perfect match, and they thought the same thing.
He thought about it, kissed Lin Shuyin and said, "Wife, I love you."
Lin Shuyin, "....I love you too."
What happened to her Captain Shen?
"Daddy, I want a kiss too." Little girl Si Yu stretched out her hand.
"Okay, okay, give the girl a kiss."
"Mom wants a kiss too, let's kiss together."
Siyu pointed at her cheeks, so Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan kissed her on the cheek, and little Siyu kissed her parents.
Kissing is a daily routine for the three of them, and they kiss each other countless times every day.
The next day, Lin Shuyin went to talk to her brother about this.
Lin Jianshe was also speechless, "What is mom thinking?"
Lin Shuyin said, "Who knows? Just let me take care of my cousin. What's there to take care of? If she is in Sanhe Village, it's fine. If she goes to another village, how can I take care of her?"
Lin Jianshe waved his hands and said, "As long as Zhang Hongying doesn't come to see us, we won't care."
Lin Shuyin: "Yeah."
It was impossible for Zhang Hongying not to come to see Lin Shuyin. She knew for sure that troops could only visit relatives on Sundays, so she arrived at the gate of the troops on Sunday.
He mentioned several people's names.
"Comrade, Deputy Director of the Cultural Troupe Lin Shuyin is my cousin, and Battalion Commander Shen Guannan is my cousin's husband, and the band leader of the Cultural Troupe is my cousin's wife."
There were quite a few people, and the guard asked her, "So, who are you looking for?"
Zhang Hongying, "I'm looking for Lin Shuyin."
"Wait."
The educated youth who came with her were very envious, "Hongying, I never thought you have relatives in the army."
Zhang Hongying was very proud. "My cousins are all here. My cousin sings well, so she was admitted to the art troupe. She met my cousin's husband and got married. My cousin, like me, came here to work in the countryside. He met my cousin's wife through my cousin's introduction."
The educated youth traveling with us said, "When will your cousin introduce you to someone, a soldier like your cousin's husband, a battalion commander or deputy battalion commander, so that you don't have to suffer in the countryside."
"I came directly to live in the military compound."
Zhang Hongying was very moved by these words, but she said on the surface, "Miaomiao, stop talking nonsense. How could anyone like me?"
Sun Miaomiao, "I'm not talking nonsense. You're so beautiful, how could I not like you? You can talk to your cousin later."
"There are so many singles in the barracks, there's always one suitable for you."
The two were chatting when Lin Shuyin came out.
She had never seen Zhang Hongying, although she remembered her, but that was five or six years ago. Fortunately, Zhang Hongying looked pretty much the same, so Lin Shuyin recognized her.
"Sister Hongying." She spoke first.
Zhang Hongying hadn't seen her cousin Lin Shuyin for several years. She was a little surprised. Her cousin had been pretty since she was a child, and she didn't expect that she had become even more beautiful after not seeing her for several years.
"Sister Shuyin." Zhang Hongying smiled shyly.
As a cousin, she should show some concern for her younger cousin. "Hongying, which commune and brigade are you in?"
Zhang Hongying, "Cousin, I'm in Hongqi Commune, Qingshan Brigade. I arrived a week ago."
Qingshan Brigade of Hongqi Commune
Lin Shuyin remembered that she went to this village to perform in the countryside in the summer of the second year after she joined the art troupe.
Lin Shuyin smiled and said, "Oh, Qingshan Brigade. They are not the same brigade as Jianshe."
Zhang Hongying, "Cousin, which brigade is my cousin in?"
"He's in the Three Rivers Brigade."
...........
After chatting for a few sentences, Lin Shuyin returned to the army. We were really not familiar with each other and there was nothing to talk about.
She went to Sarinlin to build a home for the two of them. As a local of Sarinlin, she should be familiar with the local village.
"It's Dashan Village in Qingshan Brigade. It's not far from our village, about ten miles away. My grandmother's home is in Dashan Village."
Dashan Village got its name from the mountain behind it, which is the mountain in the Daqingshan range, so the brigade was named Qingshan Brigade.
