Chapter 2 Going to the countryside? Let’s go on a blind date!
Lin Momo looked at the breakfast on the table: white rice porridge, cornmeal buns, scrambled eggs, and pickles. This is already a very good meal in this era.
According to the original owner's memory, Lin's father's monthly salary was over a hundred, and Lin's mother's was over fifty.
In this era when the average wage of ordinary people is only 20 or 30 yuan, Lin's father and mother's wages are indeed very high. No wonder the food is so good.
In this era, you only need tickets to buy things, and the quantity is limited. Mr. and Mrs. Lin must have bought these on the black market.
After the family finished their meal, Lin's father cleaned up the house while Lin's mother rode her bicycle and took Lin Momo out.
Lin Momo sat on the back of a bicycle, and the streets were full of slogans encouraging people to go to the countryside.
[Go to the countryside, change the world, and build a new socialist countryside.] 】
[Go to the countryside, go to the border areas, go to where the motherland needs you most.] 】
[The revolutionary youth have ambitions in all directions and are rooted in the countryside and the frontiers.] 】
In this era, if a family has two children, one of them must go to the countryside, and the Lin family has Lin Momo, who is suitable.
Lin Momo was scared. She might have to go to the countryside after traveling through time. She didn't know how to do any farm work.
"Mom, do I have to go to the countryside too?" Lin Momo couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry, your parents will let you go to the countryside." Lin's father and mother are already preparing to buy a house for Lin Momo. If they can buy one, they will give Lin's mother's house to Lin Momo.
Lin Momo nodded, she was benefiting from the original owner.
Lin's mother took Lin Momo to the meat station. With the original owner's memory, Lin Momo was unfamiliar with the meat station.
The original owner also liked to eat fatty meat like Lin Momo. In addition to the pork belly, Lin's mother also bought half a pound of lean meat, which was bought specifically for Lin Momo.
In this day and age, few people would buy lean meat when there is still fat and pork belly available at the meat station.
Seeing these subtle expressions of Lin's mother, Lin Momo felt warm in her heart and thought of her mother who had passed away in the original world.
"Mom, thank you." Lin Momo held her mother's arm and called sweetly.
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite to your mother?" Mother Lin touched Lin Momo's hair lovingly.
The mother and daughter bought another fish and some vegetables and returned home.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Ze and Lin Yu returned to the Lin family with their wives and children.
Cao Shulan and Zhang Hui were both easy to get along with, and they doted on the original owner's sister-in-law. They both brought gifts for Lin Momo. Cao Shulan brought a hairpin and Zhang Hui brought a silk scarf.
As soon as they entered the door, they put down their things and helped Lin's mother in the kitchen.
Instead, it was Lin Momo, the girl, who was driven out of the kitchen by her two sisters-in-law.
Lin Momo was going to play with the three-year-old Lin Xiaojie. Lin Momo felt very emotional. The original owner was indeed the darling of the family. Even Lin Xiaojie was very kind to Lin Momo. There was candy in his bag for his aunt.
The Lin family had a very good lunch today, and the family chatted while eating.
"Dad, Mom, I went back to my mom yesterday and heard that the higher-ups have issued a death order this time. If there are two children in a family, one must go to the countryside, even if there is a job. We have to find a way as soon as possible for Momo." said Cao Shulan, who has a relative working in the Youth League Office.
"Your father and I are planning to buy her a work of art. You can give her my work of art." Upon hearing the news, Lin's mother put down her chopsticks.
When the other family members heard the news, their good mood instantly disappeared.
"Don't be like this, I heard that the news is definitely true." Cao Shulan felt guilty when she saw everyone like this. How could she finish her meal before talking about it?
"You're right. It's better to be safe than sorry. We have to find a solution as soon as possible. If it's true, it will be too late by then." Father Lin waved his hand and said.
"What else can we do besides working together?" Lin Ze sighed.
"Get married." Lin Yu said. At that time, Zhang Hui had not yet started working at the rubber factory and was dating him.
They had originally planned to get married in the spring of the following year, but Zhang Hui received a notice to go to the countryside, so they got married ahead of schedule.
"Momo doesn't have a boyfriend, so who can she marry?" Lin Ze couldn't help but give his brother a cold look. Although this was a good idea, where could he find such a person right now? At least he could just go to the street and pick someone to marry Lin Momo.
"I have a candidate..." Zhang Hui was a little conflicted. After all, it was her sister-in-law's marriage, and it was too easy for her as a sister-in-law to be happy.
"It's okay, you say so." Mother Lin saw the embarrassment of her daughter-in-law and took the initiative to open the door.
"My neighbor's son is called Cheng Jinghao. He is 26 years old and is a soldier. I heard he is already a battalion commander. His family is arranging a blind date for him. I have seen him and he looks good. If it is possible, please send the photo to him..."
"What's your name?" Lin Momo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Cheng Jinghao." Zhang Hui repeated.
"Mom, I'm willing to go on a blind date with him." Lin Momo said excitedly. She must meet this Cheng Jinghao. Even if this Cheng Jinghao is the one, she won't lose a piece of meat. It's just a blind date.
"Ah?" The family looked at Lin Momo curiously.
"Ahem." Knowing that she had overreacted, Lin Momo felt a little embarrassed. "Soldiers, I admire soldiers the most, they defend our country."
"Besides, it's just a meeting and we don't want to get married right away." Lin Momo picked up the rice and took a few bites.
"Then I'll go get the photos?" Lin's mother looked at Lin Momo tentatively. In fact, she also thought it was a good idea.
In this era, soldiers are highly respected, and battalion commanders can follow the army. This not only solves Lin Momo's problem of going to the countryside, but also eliminates the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem.
"My daughter, let's think about it again?" Father Lin wanted Lin Momo to get married so early.
"Yes, sister, let's think about it again." Lin Ze and Lin Yu had the same idea. After all, she was their sister who had been spoiled since childhood, so how could they bear to let her get married so early.
"I want to go to the countryside again. Besides, someone will definitely like me." Lin Momo said. Apart from the factor of Cheng Jinghao, she really wanted to go to the countryside.
"......"
Lin family members, you look at me and I look at you.
"Then Xiaohui, please send the photos over tomorrow." Finally, Father Lin made the decision. He would look at the photos first anyway.
"Okay." Zhang Hui nodded in agreement.
Lin Momo was eating, but her mind was far away. If the other person is really Cheng Jinghao from the original world, he should come back for a blind date after seeing her photo.
"Mom, remember to write my name on the back of the photo later." Lin Momo looked up and said to her mother.
"Okay." Although Mother Lin knew why her daughter said that, she still nodded in agreement.
After the meal, the whole family was worried. The Lin family was worried about Lin Momo going to the countryside, but Lin Momo was thinking about Cheng Jinghao.
