President Cheng looked at Lin Yiyi's plan and said, "Yiyi, every plan you write is very good, especially considering the people. This plan is very detailed, but I still need to discuss the details with other cadres of the commune."
Lin Yiyi said: "Then I'll go first."
President Cheng said: "Okay, see you later."
Lin Yiyi just walked out the door and ran into Director Yang. Director Yang asked, "Yiyi is leaving?"
Lin Yiyi said: "Yes, I won't disturb you from working."
Director Yang nodded, and then said to President Cheng: "President, the county's recruitment quota has been announced."
Lin Yiyi paused as she walked out of the door: "Director Yang, the county's recruitment quota has been announced. Does our Yangguang Commune have any quota?"
Director Yang said: "This quota is for the entire county. Applicants from each commune will be selected, and then the best ones will be picked out."
Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Director Yang."
Lin Yiyi thought about leaving the commune for a long time, and then went to the commune junior high school.
Lin Sanjun ran out of the classroom: "Sister, why are you here?"
Lin Yiyi said, "I came to the commune to do some work, and I heard a piece of news that the county's recruitment quota has been released. Haven't you always wanted to join the army? Now that the opportunity has come, just grab it."
Lin Sanjun was delighted when he heard this: "Really?" Then he put away his smile and said, "Sister, you are not..."
Lin Yiyi said: "But you like it, so go do what you like to do."
The county recruited soldiers in the county and the communes. The communes recruited soldiers in a line, and the people who applied in the county were also selected. Then, among all the selected people, 20 with the best overall performance were selected. This selection took a month.
Lin Yiyi was playing with Eleven when Lin Sanjun came over: "Sister, I... I passed." He couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Sister, I passed, I passed the test, I am a soldier now."
Qin Xiangju: "This is amazing! Sanjun is a soldier now, that's amazing. To celebrate Sanjun becoming a soldier, I will cook a delicious meal for him tonight."
Lin Sanjun said hurriedly: "No, no."
Lin Yiyi said, "Let's wait until Sunday and call Sijun and Xiaowu along then."
Qin Xiangju said, "Yes, yes, the weekend is suitable, and your whole family can be here then."
Lin Yiyi: "Then I will accompany you to the commune junior high school tomorrow to handle the formalities, but Sanjun, do you still remember my sister's conditions?"
Lin Sanjun: "Remember, I will complete junior high school in the army.
industry."
Lin Yiyi was very satisfied that he still remembered: "Did the leader say when to report to the troops?"
Lin Sanjun: "I said we would leave for the troops on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
Lin Yiyi: "That's perfect, we can spend the New Year at home." Then the two talked about the address of the unit, etc. Lin Yiyi didn't know what the situation was like there, and she would definitely ask Xiao Yu when he came back. However, some things can be prepared. For example, dried sweet potatoes, dried meat, dried white steamed buns, and dried red steamed buns, which can be brought to the three armies at that time. Especially dried steamed buns, steamed buns are sliced after being steamed, and then dried in the sun. After drying, they are stored in a sealed bottle, such as a milk powder can, and can be kept for several months. Dried steamed buns are very crispy and very fragrant, and some people even fry them.
In the evening, when Lin Dajun came home from school, he was happy for his brother when he heard that Lin Sanjun was going to join the army after the Chinese New Year. However, Lin Dajun was a little sad: "Sister, Sanjun is going to join the army after the Chinese New Year. Will he not be able to drink at my wedding?"
Lin Sanjun: "..." Sometimes, he admired Lin Dajun's "brain hole". In fact, among the brothers in his family, Lin Dajun's "brain hole" was the biggest. Of course, Lin Sanjun didn't know the saying of brain hole, so he thought that among the brothers in his family, Lin Dajun was the dumbest.
When Lin Yiyi heard this, she actually thought it made sense: "Indeed, Dajun is the eldest brother, and it would be a pity if Sanjun was not there for his wedding. How about this, Sanjun leaves on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and we get Dajun and Xiaozhen married before the eighth day. Do you think this is okay?"
Lin Dajun: "Sure." He didn't think it was hasty. He thought it would be a good idea to let his brother attend his wedding and have his wedding banquet before joining the army.
In this case, the next day, Lin Yiyi went to the Shanglin Production Brigade with Lin Sanjun. First, she went to the junior high school of the commune and handled the formalities for Lin Sanjun. Then she and Lin Sanjun returned to the brigade and went to the village committee. The brigade also knew that Lin Sanjun wanted to join the army. This was an honorable thing. After the commune got the news, it would tell the brigade. In addition, Lin Sanjun was busy with the army recruitment test this month, and he also went to the brigade commander to open a letter of introduction. The soldier in charge of recruitment in the army also investigated the Lin family, so everyone in the brigade commander also knew that Lin Sanjun passed the recruitment test.
When the two arrived at the village committee, the captain was also proud of Lin Sanjun: "Sanjun, well done, you are the first soldier in our village. In the future you will be the People's Liberation Army. You must keep up the good work."
Forest
Sanjun never smiled at others, except for his brothers, sister and brother-in-law, he had never smiled at anyone else. Now, listening to the captain's praise, he smiled for the first time, with a bit of boyish shyness and pride. His eyes, which always showed a bit of gloom, also had the expression that a man of this age should have, clean and simple, like dispersing clouds.
After the relevant procedures for the three armies were completed, Lin Yiyi said, "Captain, I came here this time to discuss the marriage of Dajun and Xiaozhen with you."
At this time, in the captain's office, the captain heard Lin Yiyi say this, and his heart tightened: "What happened to Dajun and Xiaozhen's marriage?" It won't be cancelled, right? If the marriage is cancelled, he can guarantee that his daughter will never find such a good marriage again.
Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "It's like this. Sanjun will go to the army on the eighth day after the Chinese New Year. I want Dajun and Xiaozhen to get married in the first month of the year. In this way, before Sanjun leaves, he can drink in Dajun's wedding wine. What do you think? Why don't you discuss it with Auntie?"
The captain said, "Okay, I'll discuss this with your aunt at noon, and come to your house after dinner to see you."
Lin Yiyi said: "Okay."
After negotiating with the captain, Lin Yiyi returned home.
Back at the Lin family, Lin Yiyi asked, "Sanjun, now that you have joined the army, what do you think about your temporary job at the pig farm? Who do you want to replace you?"
Lin Sanjun asked, "To my brother-in-law's family?"
Lin Yiyi was a little surprised: "Why do you think so?"
Lin Sanjun said: "This is good for me."
Lin Yiyi felt sad after hearing this: "As long as you are fine, I will be fine."
Lin Sanjun said: "I don't want to give it to my brother-in-law's eldest brother, I want to give it to the third branch of the Xiao family."
This made Lin Yiyi confused: "What's wrong?"
Lin Sanjun: "I don't like that eldest wife." He will never forget the first time he went to the county town. His sister was bullied by Qi Bocai and hid in the room crying. This was the first time he fought against Qi Bocai. It was also the first time he realized that without their parents, they would be bullied like this. This was the first time he realized how important it was for him to be tough.
Lin Yiyi naturally wouldn't think that this was the reason, but she didn't say anything about Lin Sanjun's dislike for the first wife. She wouldn't ask Lin Sanjun to like or accept someone, because everyone is a subject, and no one can force others to do something they don't like. Lin Yiyi didn't even want to deprive Lin Sanjun of his wish to join the army, let alone such a small matter. Scolding her brother for someone who has nothing to do with him? How is this possible?
Lin Sanjun: "I will
Talk to the Xiao family's third branch, and I'll just pretend I don't know."
Lin Yiyi looked at him and smiled, then suddenly hugged him: "Sanjun has grown up." The little boy who was not as tall as her before has grown up and is taller than her. He can now be her support.
Lin Sanjun's ears turned slightly red, but he hugged his sister tightly. He seldom showed his emotions like this. He had a restrained personality, but in front of his sister, he always wanted to act like a willful child.
Lin Yiyi continued, "Since you are going to join the army, I will not discuss your marriage with you. When you are in the army, if there is a girl you like, you can write a letter to tell yourself. Don't worry about whether we are a good match for each other, and of course don't mind if the other person's conditions are poor. My sister said that when a man marries a wife, he first looks at the other person's character, and then the other person's family. Both are indispensable."
Lin Sanjun said, "I know that my brother-in-law has good character, and the elders of the Xiao family are also good. If my brother-in-law is not a good person, and my sister brings us along with us, if it were an ordinary family, they would definitely not marry my sister."
Lin Yiyi: "..." She really wanted to say to her brother, do you know your sister's value? Do you know how many tens of thousands your sister has earned from writing articles? However, she is very satisfied with her brother now. He is not wrong to distinguish between gratitude and resentment. "I am very happy that you can distinguish right from wrong."
Lin Sanjun likes to hear his sister praise him. He lived with his parents for twelve years and had never been praised or paid attention to. After his parents passed away, he lived with his sister for four years. His sister never ignored him. She would ask about him and care about him from time to time. He likes such a sister very much.
Lin Yiyi: "If you go to the army, have you and your brothers' property been divided up? Your eldest brother is getting married, and your money was previously kept together, but it's not appropriate now. Although your eldest sister-in-law is a good person, no one can predict what will happen in the future. My sister's idea is that since you have already separated, you should keep your own money."
Lin Sanjun: "Well, we have already calculated it. All the money we earned in the past few years was from meat coupons and eggs. In addition to buying furniture and cotton quilts, my eldest brother still has 220 yuan in total. This is the common money of the four of us brothers. I earned 39 yuan as a temporary worker at the pig farm this year. After the money is divided, I will have 94 yuan."
Every time the four brothers gave Lin Yiyi a hen, it seemed that it belonged to Lin Wudi, but in fact, it belonged to them all. Lin Wudi gave away his hen to buy chicks, and in the process of raising the chicks, the eggs he ate were laid by his brothers' hens. When his brothers' hens sold the eggs, the money was also counted to him. It must be said that the four brothers were still very united.
