Chapter 7 If you can't find one, go to the countryside

As soon as Lin Shuyin arrived at the army, Sister Lin from her hometown came to visit her.

Mother Lin was surprised, "Boss, why are you here?"

Sister Lin Shuting was delighted. "Mom, this is great news. This is great news!"

"What's good?"

Mother Lin poured a cup of hot water for her daughter and sat next to her.

Sister Lin took a sip and began to speak, "Mom, our factory director's youngest son has taken a liking to my second sister and asked me to introduce her to him."

"Mom, let me tell you, our factory director's son is tall and handsome, two years older than Shuyin, and he will be twenty-one this year."

"People say that if Shuyin marries him, she won't have to worry about him arranging a job for her. He might even be able to arrange a job for her in Jianshe."

Besides, he also said that if this thing succeeded, they would both get promotions.

Mother Lin was annoyed and said, "If you had come a few days earlier, maybe it would have been possible. Your second sister has joined the army now."

"I just left the day before yesterday."

Of course I told you a few days ago that you still have the right to choose. Now that you've joined the army, what's the point of saying it now? Besides, it's an honor for a young lady to join the army. As for being the son of a factory director, Lin's mother has no interest in it.

"What? Shuyin joined the army? How come I didn't know?" Sister Lin was shocked.

Lin's mother said, "Don't mention you. Your father and I didn't know either. The girl only told us the day before she left. She is going to the military art troupe in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia."

Sister Lin, "How did she get into the art troupe?"

Lin's mother told her about Lin Shuyin's rescue. Sister Lin said, "So that's how it happened. But what did she do in the art troupe? Did she sing or dance?"

Can her second sister sing and dance?

"Singing, let alone your second sister's singing is always good, she can compete with what I sang when I was young." Mother Lin was a little proud.

She could also sing when she was young, and was a popular figure in the machinery factory.

"Why haven't I heard Shuyin sing it before?"

Sister Lin was in a daze. Her second sister could sing, but she had never heard her sing before, not even humming. How come she suddenly joined the army art troupe?

This is so sudden.

Lin's mother said, "You just didn't hear me. What's the point of singing a song?"

Sister Lin didn't know what to say. It was an honor for her sister to join the army, so why did she feel a little disappointed?

"What about the construction work? Is there any progress?"

Mother Lin shook her head, "No."

Sister Lin: "What should we do? Let construction go to the countryside"

Lin's mother said, "If you really can't find a job, just go to the countryside." Anyway, she would not give up her job to her son.

She loves her son, but work is her life. Without a job, she would have to live under the wishes of her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't want that.

Since Lin Shuyin, the person involved, was not there, there was nothing to talk about. Sister Lin did not stay long. She said a few words to Lin's mother and then left.

After arriving home, my husband Xu Shengli asked, "How was it? Was Mom particularly happy" to have introduced me to such a good marriage?

Lin Shuting, "I'm not happy at all. No one is here. My second sister has joined the army."

"What? Joined the army?"

"right!"

Xu Shengli sat up and said, "It's nothing serious, isn't it? Tell me more."

Lin Shuting told Xu Shengli about it, and Xu Shengli sighed, "Your second sister is doing great things in silence."

If it were someone else, they would have told their family on the day they were introduced to a job by a rescuer, or at the very least, on the day they received the enlistment notice.

His daughter-in-law's second sister only told her family about it the day before she left.

Lin Shuting was a little angry. "It would have been fine if the third child didn't tell us. My parents didn't tell us either, but I was eager to sacrifice my lunch break to tell them about it."

The two families lived not far from each other, and the second sister joined the army without her parents telling her. It was true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out.

This is treating her as an outsider.

Xu Shengli, "I guess my parents didn't have time to tell me."

He didn't think his father-in-law and mother-in-law had concealed the matter intentionally. He just thought that he didn't have the time to tell them because they only found out the day before.

Lin Shuting snorted, "Just say something good for them."

"Mom and Dad are lucky to have a good son-in-law like you."

When my wife praised my victory, my vanity was instantly satisfied.

Lin Shuyin, who was far away in Hohhot, also knew about Sister Lin's visit to the Lin family.

Because the bullet screen appeared.

[I used to think that the youngest sister of the Lin family, Lin Shuyi, was the worst and the meanest. Now I think the eldest sister Lin is not that great either. Isn't it a happy thing that her younger sister is joining the army? Why is she standing there in anger?]

[Isn't this a very obvious problem? If Lin Shuyin hadn't married Zhou Jianguo, would Zhou Jianguo have helped Sister Lin and her husband get promoted? No, it would have hurt their interests, and they wouldn't be able to be team leaders, so of course they would be angry.]

[Didn’t Lin Shuyin marry Zhou Jianguo in the old version? Why did she join the army in the new version? ]

[The scriptwriter has changed it. I think it's a good idea. Why should we sacrifice the happiness of the second sister Lin for the happiness of the entire Lin family? ]

Lin Shuyin looked at the barrage and nodded in agreement. Yes, why should she sacrifice her own happiness for everyone else's?

The barrage disappeared after a while of discussion. It was the same last time. It disappeared after a while of discussion.

Lin Shuyin understood it as "the time when the heroine goes abroad."

Almost two months had passed since she rescued people and joined the army, but there were only two episodes in the drama. When acting in a TV series, they would definitely talk about the important things and not show the daily trivialities of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

She doesn't know what the world she lives in now is like. Is it a parallel world in the drama or what?

The people in the barrage thought they were watching a drama, but the life she experienced was real. She was not an actor, and neither were the people around her.

Township

But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, she is in the army now and will not follow the plot in the drama.

As for the barrage system she was bound to, it had never appeared except for the barrage and the last mission release.

Lin Shuyin didn't respond even when she called out to her. She didn't know if the system was aloof or busy with work.

She thinks she is busy with work.

Lin Shuyin, Li Jinyue and Su Xiangwei became familiar with each other on the train. Sarin was very enthusiastic and talkative, so the four of them quickly became friends.

After the three of them had made their beds, Sarin asked, "Are you hungry? Let's go to the cafeteria to eat. It's already noon."

"Go ahead." The three responded.

The standard food allowance for troops is 45 catties of grain, 3 catties of meat, and 1.5 catties of vegetable oil per person per month.

At that time, the country had not yet developed, and the army's food was not as good as that of later generations, but it was much better than eating at home. We could get three kilograms of meat a month.

Lin Shuyin had been here for more than half a year, and except for the time when she ate some meat secretly, the amount of meat she had eaten in the Lin family was estimated to be less than half a pound.

When Lin's mother cooked meat dishes, it was considered very good if she could eat two slices.

So she thought the army was great. She could eat three pounds of meat a month, and after the recruit training was over, she could go out on the weekends.

She had money to treat herself to a meal.

Not to mention that she had over a hundred dollars in savings, even if she had no savings, the monthly allowance of six dollars and seventy-five cents would be enough for her to spend.

Two yuan is used to buy myself a snack, and two yuan and seventy-five cents is used to buy myself daily necessities, such as vanishing cream and Gala oil for face and hand, soap for washing clothes and face, paper and pen for writing letters, etc.

She felt that two dollars and seventy-five cents a month was enough to buy daily necessities, because things like vanishing cream and soap would not be purchased every month, but only once every few months.

Save the remaining two dollars.
