Because my sister is going to the island tomorrow, Lin Dajun and his friends brought a lot of things to my sister today. Dajun even took a leave from school to come here.
The basket contained dried chicken, eggs, and vegetables that had not yet dried. The things that the Lin brothers sold were either meat or eggs.
After dinner, Lin Yiyi called Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun to the study room: "I'm going to the island. Sijun must listen to Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law. If there is anything you don't understand, go to Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, or wait until you have a break and come to the island to ask me, okay?"
Lin Sijun: "Got it." He was already planning for the weekend.
Lin Yiyi: "Dajun, you are the eldest brother and the role model for all the younger brothers, so you must set a good example. You are also the head of the Lin family and you must take on the responsibility of being the head of the family. Do you understand?"
Lin Dajun: "Well, I'll listen to you, sister."
Lin Yiyi: "But, you are my brothers first. If something happens, no matter how big or small, you must tell me. I still say the same thing, as long as we are not wrong, we should not be afraid of anything. But if we do something wrong, we must admit it, no matter where we go, and don't do anything to make ourselves feel bad, so that we can be right."
Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun: "Yes, we understand."
Lin Yiyi: "Logically, you are all grown up, I shouldn't discipline you, but I am worried about you." She acted like a white lotus for a while.
Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun were very happy to be scolded and didn't mind at all.
Lin Yiyi: "Sister took Xiaowu away. One of you is in high school and the other is in elementary school. I am usually too busy to take care of him, so Xiaowu is handed over to me. But in my heart, you and Xiaowu are my brothers and equally important. I took Xiaowu away because he is a child, not because I love him more than you. Do you understand?" This is to prevent the children who lack love from having a knot in their hearts, which will affect the relationship between brothers.
Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun: "I understand." They were used to Xiaowu following his sister. Wasn't it like this when they were in the county town? Then during holidays, his sister would send Xiaowu back to cultivate their relationship, so they really didn't mind at all.
It would be a serious matter if the brothers quarreled because of their sister's partiality. Their parents were gone, and their sister was like their mother. If their sister was partial, it would be like their mother was partial. If their parents did not treat them equally, the children would be resentful in the future, so Lin Yiyi did not want them to do that. To her, every brother was the same.
In the beginning, because of the plot, she was the best to Xiaowu. Now that her younger brothers are all well, she still favors Xiaowu a little more because he is still a child.
the next day
the next day
The brigade's ox cart sent Xiao Yu's family to the dock of the Bainiwan Production Brigade. Originally, the Lin family's younger brothers wanted to see them off, but Lin Yiyi stopped them and asked them to go back to school. So only Qin Xiangju came to see them off. Qin Xiangju couldn't bear to part with her grandson. Xiao Rui and Jixiang have grown up and are no longer clingy. But the grandson is soft and will smile at you when you hug him. How can Qin Xiangju not like him? Besides, he is her most beloved son and the son of the most promising daughter-in-law. Qin Xiangju loves him even more. Look at the clothes and shoes on Xiao Shiyi. Many of them are made by Qin Xiangju, using the cloth that Lin Yiyi gave to the elders before.
Lin Yiyi pushed her son's stroller and placed bags of things on the shore. Qin Xiangju accompanied her daughter-in-law and grandson. Xiao Yu went to buy the boat ticket. Lin Wudi was playing with his little nephew.
After Xiao Yu bought the boat ticket, Qin Xiangju went back on the ox cart. She couldn't wait here for too long. After all, the ox cart belonged to the team and couldn't keep her company.
Of course, the Xiao family was not the only one at the dock, as there were other soldiers going to the island. However, they didn't know each other, so no one spoke.
When the time came, the boat set sail, even though it was only seven o'clock.
The boat to the island is a passenger boat. Although it is not as luxurious as a cruise ship, it is still good in this era because of the safety of people. This boat does not sail on rainy days, also for the safety of passengers. If the troops have a mission, they have a special boat, which is different from this boat.
There is no supply and marketing cooperative or commune on the island. The island is not under the jurisdiction of the Bainiwan Production Brigade. There are two production brigades on the island, and the people on the island live a good life. Because there is no supply and marketing cooperative, the troops will exchange food with the people on the island when they want to eat something. Even when the country's free trade policy has not yet been introduced, they still exchanged, and some even bought directly with money. This is tacitly accepted by everyone.
It takes an hour and a half to get from the Bainiwan Production Brigade Pier to the island by boat. Xiao Yu carried the stroller to the boat first, while Lin Wudi stayed on the shore to look after the things, and Lin Yiyi followed on board with the lighter things. Then, Lin Yiyi looked after the child, while Xiao Yu got off the boat to carry the things and got on board with Lin Wudi.
Brother Lin Wu was very excited as soon as he got on the boat. This was his first time on a boat, so how could he not be excited?
Lin Yiyi: "You can only
Sit in the cabin and don’t go outside. It’s windy outside and there will be waves. It’s very dangerous, you know?”
Lin Wudi: "I know." Even while sitting on the boat, he looked around curiously.
Seeing that he was well behaved, Lin Yiyi took out a canned fruit bottle, unscrewed the lid, and gave him a plum inside: "Here, suck on the plum to relieve your boredom. If you get seasick, tell your sister that I have seasickness medicine here." The plums were naturally bought from the system mall, but Lin Yiyi opened the original packaging and put it in the canned fruit bottle, so that the problem could not be seen. The seasickness medicine was bought at the county hospital. She herself had experienced seasickness in the original world, and she didn't know if this world would have seasickness, nor did she know if Lin Wudi would have seasickness, so she prepared the seasickness medicine.
There are six rows in the cabin, with eight seats in each row. It may seem like not many seats, but because of the location, this cabin is never full. Few people go to the island through the Bainiwan Production Brigade. Those who go through here are basically from the county town area.
Not long after the boat set sail, a woman came over and said, "Captain Xiao, are you on this boat too?" The woman came late and was the last one to board, so she didn't see Xiao Yu waiting on the shore. She just looked around at the people on the boat and saw Xiao Yu. She greeted Xiao Yu while looking at Lin Yiyi.
Xiao Yu nodded, "Auntie Wang." He then introduced Lin Yiyi and Auntie Wang separately, "This is Auntie Wang from the army cafeteria. Auntie Wang, this is my wife, Lin Yiyi."
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Comrade Lin." She thought to herself, Captain Xiao's wife is really beautiful. When everyone saw that Captain Xiao had no military entourage, they thought he was unmarried. Many people in the army had taken a fancy to him. Now things are different.
Lin Yiyi: "Hello, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang looked at Lin Yiyi and felt very fond of her.
Lin Yiyi is indeed easy for the elders to like. Lin Daya was written based on Lin Yiyi. The 15-year-old Lin Daya was very skinny, so Lin Yiyi didn't find that she looked like herself, but now, this body looks exactly like her. Lin Yiyi herself is also beautiful. She is a baby-faced girl with big eyes and long eyelashes. Speaking of which, everyone in their Lin family has big eyes and long eyelashes, probably just genetic. Then she has fair skin, and today she wore a light blue shirt and black wide-leg pants. The clothes were tucked into the waistband of the pants. The waistband of the pants was fitted, so there was no need for a belt. The hair that reached her shoulders was tied into a princess bun with thin bangs. In this world, her image is a good girl.
The image of a good and literary girl is easy to attract people's favor. To put it bluntly, there are two types of girls that the elders of this era like: one is a slightly plump girl who looks blessed, and the other is a girl like Lin Yiyi who looks well-behaved and fair.
Because the boat was not full, no one would say anything if everyone did not sit according to their seats, so Aunt Wang simply sat next to them: "Is this your child? This child's chair is really rare." There was no such thing as a stroller in that era, so in Aunt Wang's eyes, a stroller was a chair specially for children to sit on.
Lin Yiyi: "This is our child, nicknamed Eleven, who was born on October 11 last year. This is called a baby stroller. Look, it has four wheels underneath, so it can be pushed around, just like the four wheels of a car, so it's called a baby stroller. With this baby stroller, it's convenient for me to do things, like taking the child for a walk, and I don't have to carry him so tired."
Aunt Wang: "That's right. Children nowadays grow fast. It takes a lot of arm strength to carry a child for a walk. You look so petite, so you must not have enough strength to carry a child."
Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "That's right. It's okay to hold the child for a while, but I can't stand it if I hold him for too long."
Aunt Wang: "Captain Xiao and Comrade Lin are so lucky, they have two sons, both look plump and fair." In this era, whoever has more sons is lucky. Besides, Lin Wudi and Lin Yiyi are siblings, so they look alike. So in Aunt Wang's eyes, she thought Lin Wudi was the eldest son of Xiao Yu and Lin Yiyi. Besides, considering Xiao Yu's age, it makes sense for him to have a son of Lin Wudi's age.
Lin Yiyi smiled and explained, "Auntie, you guessed wrong. This is my younger brother from my mother's side. My parents died when he was two years old, so he grew up with me. This time I came to join the army, and he followed me. He can study on the island and help me take care of the children at the same time."
When Auntie Wang heard this, she immediately felt sorry for Lin Wudi. He was two years old and his parents died. What a poor child. And Lin Yiyi living with her brother in her husband's house would probably attract gossip from her husband's family. It was not easy for the siblings. Auntie Wang was a person who loved to think. Thinking of this, she said, "You are really suffering."
