Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
The Spring Festival of 1969 was approaching, and every household began to prepare New Year's goods.
In the Lin family courtyard, Jia Chunhua was knitting a sweater. After listening to her daughter reading the letter from her eldest grandson, she was not in a very good mood.
The school resumed full classes two years ago, but Lin Jun and Lin Qin did not continue to stay in school. Instead, they skipped a grade and obtained their high school diplomas.
Lin Jun did not accept the assigned job, but continued to serve as an assistant to his uncle Chu Minghai.
Lin Qin joined the army not long after, fulfilling his military dream.
He is now in a military unit on the southeast coast. The young man has performed excellently and has been promoted to platoon leader in just two years.
Jia Chunhua thought about her grandson, but she kept muttering, "Stinky boy, he didn't come home for the New Year again this year. He hasn't been back since he joined the army! His grandfather and I are old and we don't know how many years we can live. The less we see him, the less we will see him. He is so focused on his work that he doesn't even think about his family."
snort!
Jia Chunhua decided to send only half of the mushroom meat sauce she made this time to this brat.
She looked outside again and sighed helplessly at Lin Shufen:
"There are fewer and fewer people in this family. After your eldest brother and his family moved out the year before last, the house became much quieter. At first, your eldest sister-in-law could still come back, but later she also went to work, and the house became even more deserted!
In two years, Zhengzheng and Xiaofeng will also go out to work. Alas, there is also the sea, which is even more powerful. Sooner or later, I will be transferred to a more important place.
Wait till you all leave! From now on, we two old people will be the only ones left alone in this family. ”
Lin Shufen found it a little funny to see her mother looking at herself in pity.
My eldest brother and his family moved out, but at the beginning they came back to the old house for dinner almost every night. My eldest sister-in-law would come here after cleaning up her small house and stay the whole day, just like before.
Just half a year ago, my sister-in-law found a job at a dairy factory and gradually became busy, but she still often comes back on weekends and when she is not busy.
Not to mention, her family of four, including Xiaofeng, have always lived here. Why did her mother suddenly become so pretentious?
She guessed, maybe it was because the sunset this evening was particularly clear, and the beautiful scenery set off the sad mood?
She couldn't help but said, "Mom, Xiaofeng is fifteen years old and just started high school, and Zhengzheng is only ten years old. What kind of work are they doing? Also, you forgot about your granddaughter. That little kid will make a fuss if she knows you didn't count her."
Jia Chunhua's face tightened and she looked outside. Fortunately, the little girl had not come back yet. Ever since she could walk, she had been playing around in the streets. At first, they were afraid that she was too young and might be bullied by older kids.
Who would have thought that she would become the leader of the kids in this area.
The little person, with her little head held high and her hands behind her back, was followed by a group of children much older than her. She would climb trees when asked to do so and play hopscotch when asked to do so. Each one is more obedient than the other!
When the family saw this scene for the first time, their jaws dropped.
It turns out that the most powerful one in their family is this little one!
Thinking of this little rascal, she nervously told her daughter: "Don't let Tiantian know this, I just said it nonsense."
But she changed her mind and continued, "Besides, Dahai has been transferred, so can you two not take Tiantian and Zhengzheng with you? If you agree to let the little girl stay, your father and I will fully agree."
Lin Shufen paused. If Brother Hai was transferred to another place, they would definitely take the children with them.
She smiled awkwardly twice, said nothing, and quickly turned around to pack her things.
Jia Chunhua pouted and stared at the hands of the clock. The hands moved slowly. When she was about to fall into sadness again, the sound of baby's milk came from the yard.
