Lin Yiyi made fish head soup, fried eggs, and stir-fried bacon and cabbage for lunch. Three dishes were just right for two people. When she finished lunch, Xiao Yu was still holding Xiao Shiyi and reading. Lin Yiyi walked closer and saw that Xiao Shiyi had fallen asleep.
Lin Yiyi: "Put him in the rocking bed. He's already asleep."
Jin-Woo: "I'm not tired."
Lin Yiyi: "I want to say that you are not tired, but your son is tired."
Xiao Yu: "...You are treating me differently, Comrade Lin Yiyi, you can't do this."
Lin Yiyi: "Why not? He is my little baby now. You are outdated."
Xiao Yu: "What do you mean by outdated? I remember you used to say that I was your eldest child, but now that you have a younger one, you don't want the older one anymore. Tell me, is this okay?"
Lin Yiyi: "What's wrong with that? I'm a sweet little cotton-padded jacket now."
"I've always heard that girls are sweet little cotton-padded jackets, but I've never heard that sons are sweet little cotton-padded jackets." Xiao Yu pointed at Xiao Eleven in the cradle, "And..."
Lin Yiyi raised her eyebrows: “?”
Xiao-Woo hummed, "And... I'm definitely more considerate than him."
Puff... Lin Yiyi laughed out loud: "Comrade Xiao Yu, that's enough. You are comparing yourself with a one-month-old baby. Are you still Captain Xiao?"
Xiao Yu: "He came out because of me, he should be considerate of me."
Lin Yiyi said: "Okay, then you can discuss it with him and let him understand you."
After the two of them had lunch, Xiao Yu went to sleep. He came here by boat early in the morning and then hurried from the countryside to the county town. The journey took him quite a while.
Xiao Yu went to take a nap. Xiao Shiyi was still asleep. Lin Yiyi continued to write the plan for the baby carriage that she had written in the morning. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yu woke up and saw his wife feeding his son. The little guy was drinking milk. Xiao Yu's eyes shifted from his son to his wife, and then back to his son's mouth. His brows slowly wrinkled. Seeing his son's mouth full of milk, he moved a stool and sat aside: "What if some people's children don't have milk to drink?"
Lin Yiyi: "Those who can afford milk powder eat milk powder, those who can't afford milk powder eat rice noodles, and those who can't afford either can only eat porridge. I don't know the details."
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment: "Can our family afford milk powder?"
Lin Yiyi narrowed her eyes: "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yu: "I think that as a boy, Eleven should
Develop an independent character. Boys should not be accustomed to this, otherwise they will become lawless when they grow up."
Lin Yiyi: “…I’ll give you three words.”
Xiao-Woo: "Very smart?"
Lin Yiyi: "Psychosis."
Xiao Yu: "..."
When it was almost four o'clock, Qin Xiangju came back and saw Xiao Yu holding Xiao Shiyi walking in the yard. Qin Xiangju said happily: "Second brother, you are back? Why didn't you come back a few days ago? Xiao Shiyi is having a full-month celebration."
Xiao Yu: "Something happened in the army a few days ago." Moreover, he didn't know the time of his son's full-month banquet, and no one at home called him.
Qin Xiangju put down the backpack and looked at her grandson in her son's arms: "Oh, this little guy is awake, come and let grandma hug him."
Xiao Eleven's eyes rolled around.
Qin Xiangju: "Look at this clever little boy, he wants his dad to hold him, not his grandma?"
Xiao-Woo: "What does he know? He's still young."
Qin Xiangju: "Although he is still young, he can feel your attitude towards him. You can't dislike him like this."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Qin Xiangju: "You are the father. If there is anything you don't understand, you have to figure it out slowly. If you figure it out well this time, you will have experience when you have children one by one next time."
Xiao Yu: "I won't have another baby next time. One is enough." Sleeping separately for ten months was too hard to endure. Besides, we didn't need many babies. One was enough.
Qin Xiangju: "Yi Yi also said that she wants to give Xiao Shiyi a little sister next time."
Xiao-Woo: "No more children."
Qin Xiangju: "You need to tell Yi Yi about this."
night
Before Xiao Yu came, Qin Xiangju slept on the small bed in the study. Lin Yiyi and the child slept inside, and she slept outside, so that she could help if anything happened. Today, when Xiao Yu came back, she slept on the bed in the kitchen with the child in her arms, leaving the space for the young couple.
Xiao Yu hadn't touched Lin Yiyi for a year since she got pregnant. He was a hot-blooded man, and he had just started to have sex, so he had to endure it for a year because of Lin Yiyi's pregnancy. Now that Lin Yiyi was out of confinement, the two of them slept together again. Xiao Yu was a little emotional, but he held back.
Lin Yiyi was a little surprised. She could clearly feel that Xiao Yu's body had changed, but he didn't come up to her like before. It was really strange. Lin Yiyi asked curiously, "Brother Yu, have you changed to a vegetarian diet?"
Xiao Yu held her and kissed her hard for a long time: "You just came out of confinement, you can't have sex yet."
Lin Yiyi hooked his chin: "How do you know? Did you ask the doctor?
? "
Xiao Yu pursed his lips and didn't answer. How could he admit such a thing? When Lin Yiyi was pregnant, he consulted about the situation of pregnant women and sexual intercourse. Although the doctor said that they could have sex after the fetus was stable, Xiao Yu was a restrained person. He would not risk the fetus to make himself comfortable, not to mention that this fetus was his child. The doctor also said that after a woman has finished her confinement, it is best to wait another month or two before having sex. So even if he was very impulsive today, he would not do such a thing.
Lin Yiyi couldn't help laughing: "Captain Xiao, you are amazing."
Xiao Yu: "Just let me hold you for a while." He rested his chin on her shoulder, buried his face in her neck, smelled her scent, and missed her so much.
Lin Yiyi patted his shoulder and said, "Captain Xiao is awesome. Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Yu: "...Um...Mom said you want to have another child?"
Lin Yiyi: "Well, one child is too lonely. If I have another daughter, the brother and sister can play together." She is an only child and sometimes feels a little lonely, so she wants to have another child, two children. Moreover, she is still young, and if she has two children early, the two children will grow up together, and she will recover faster, which is the best of both worlds.
Xiao Yu: "One is enough." I would rather die than have two. One is enough of a headache, and it takes a lot of energy to educate her. He is usually in the army, so his wife may have a harder time in terms of education. Even if his wife is with the army, he is usually busy, and he doesn't want his wife to be too tired.
Lin Yiyi said: "Two."
Xiao-Woo: "One."
Lin Yiyi: "Let's not talk about this for now. Even if we want two, it's impossible within two years. By the way, this time the army gave Eleven a stroller. I have a new idea for the development of the commune. I want to discuss it with you. Do you think it's possible?"
Xiao-Woo: "What idea?"
Lin Yiyi: "Do you think it's appropriate for the commune to open a furniture factory or a woodworking factory? Of course, if a woodworking factory is opened, the mountain will definitely be cut down, so the amount of logging can be controlled within a certain range..." Lin Yiyi told Xiao Yu about her plan, "What do you think?"
Xiao Yu said: "My opinion is not important. You can discuss the development of the commune and the brigade with President Cheng. No, you have resigned now, so it is not appropriate to discuss with President Cheng. You can give them your plan and let them discuss and make their own decisions. You don't need to make decisions for them."
Lin Yiyi: "You make sense."
Xiao Yu: "Everything you think about for the development of the commune is good. You are the person I have ever met who cares most about its development even though you are not in the position."
Lin Yiyi joked, "I'm just meddling in other people's business." She was not a meddler before, but maybe because she had been in this era for too long and saw how backward it was, she always wanted to do something. She felt very satisfied to use some of the things she knew about the future to benefit this era.
Xiao Yu: "No, you are serving the people."
Lin Yiyi: "...You wear this hat a little too high."
Xiao Yu chuckled: "When do you plan to join the army? I have prepared the yard of the army, just like the yard here. I have also prepared all the furniture, and I am just waiting for the hostess."
Lin Yiyi: "...My child is still young now, so I plan to go there in June or July next year."
Xiao-Woo: "June or July next year?"
Lin Yiyi: "Well, the weather will start to get hot in June and July next year. There is no electricity in the countryside, and electric fans can't blow. So it's better to go to the army. With fans blowing, it won't be hot during the National Day holiday."
Xiao-Woo: "...your son is the most important."
Lin Yiyi hit him and said, "Also, next year Xiaowu will be seven years old and can start the first grade. He can go to the island with us to study, and he can also help me look after Eleven."
Jin-Woo: "...your brother is second most important."
Lin Yiyi: "...No, although Eleven is the most important, he is your son, so, Captain Xiao, you are the most important."
Xiao Yu: "Just lie to me." He would never believe her. But he was happy just listening to her.
By the end of November, Lin Yiyi had finished writing the plan for the furniture factory.
Lin Yiyi: "Mom, I'm going to the commune. I'm sorry for taking care of the child by yourself."
Qin Xiangju: "You go ahead, I can handle it by myself. Don't worry, take your time."
Lin Yiyi: “Hey.”
After telling Qin Xiangju about the matter, Lin Yiyi rode her bicycle to the commune. Because it was the end of the year, there were a lot of things to do in the commune, but President Cheng was quite surprised and happy to see Lin Yiyi.
President Cheng: "Why is Comrade Lin Yiyi here? Come and sit down."
Assistant: "Sister Lin, please have some tea."
Lin Yiyi: "Thank you." She took a sip of tea and took out a stack of documents from her Jiefang bag. "President Cheng, I have a plan here. I want to show it to you."
When President Cheng heard this, he said, "Oh, there is also a plan. I am very happy when I hear your plan. Come on, show it to me."
