Lin Yiyi invited them in, and said to Lin Wudi, "Xiaowu, take these nephews and nieces to your room to play, and treat everyone to the snacks prepared by their sister." Then she said to them, "This is my younger brother from my mother's side, named Lin Wujun. He came to the army primary school in September this year. My parents passed away early, and my younger brother was only two years old at that time, so I have been taking care of him all the time, and he is used to living with us. Now my eldest brother is married, and although he has a sister-in-law to take care of him, he is unwilling to live with them. My second brother is a soldier and has not yet married, so it is naturally impossible for me to take him to the army, so he can only follow me to study in the army." Lin Yiyi did not say that Lin Dajun was a worker. It was a bit inappropriate to specifically point out that Lin Dajun was a soldier in this scene. It was enough to just say that he was married. It is possible to point out that Lin Erjun is a soldier, because everyone here is in the military, and people have a natural liking for people who come from military families. Lin Yiyi specifically mentioned that Lin Erjun is a soldier, and she also wanted everyone to know that Lin Wujun is not a burden, and has a military brother at home who can be relied on.

In this era, brothers are one body. Although Lin Wudi has no parents, his elder brother is a soldier. Who dares to look down on him?

Besides, we can’t ignore Lin Wujun’s face just because he is young. Children also have dignity. If he becomes a burden, people will look down on him, and other children may even make fun of him. So Lin Yiyi carefully protects Lin Wudi’s young heart. Besides, if a younger brother follows his older brother, it is called a good brotherly relationship, not a burden, but if a younger brother follows his older sister, it is called a burden. This is also an unequal relationship between men and women. A daughter who is married is like water spilled out. After a daughter is married, she is no longer a member of her natal family, but a member of her husband’s family. The daughter-in-law of her husband’s family takes her younger brother from her natal family, so the younger brother will be called a burden. In fact, in modern times, if both people are remarried, the man has children and the daughter also has children, but many people will say that the woman’s child is a burden, but they will not say that of the man.

Although everyone is equal, the words and thoughts of people have always been unfriendly to women. It is just like in the past, when men were looking for girlfriends, they would require their girlfriends to be virgins, but they would not require their boyfriends to be virgins.

When everyone heard that Lin Yiyi had a brother who was a soldier, their opinion of Lin Yiyi changed again. A brother from her mother's side is a woman's confidence. Before the Lin family's brother grew up, everyone heard that they had a brother-in-law who was the deputy director and the president's assistant.

Their elder sister had a different view of them. At that time, their elder sister was their support. Now they have grown up, Dajun is a worker, Sanjun is a soldier, and when Lin Yiyi went out, the worker brother and the soldier brother became her support. Although she did not need them as a backer, in the eyes of others, they were different.

Brother Lin Wu is a lively person. How could he not be lively since he grew up with Brother Lin Si, who is a big talker? He said, "Everyone, come and play. My sister has prepared a lot of delicious food." He took everyone to play in the room. There was a mat on the floor of the room. Next to the mat was a piece of cloth. On the cloth were several plates. There were food in the plates. There were pumpkin cakes, dried sweet potatoes, preserved plums, pepper and salt potatoes, and White Rabbit milk candy.

I bought the pumpkin pie from the system mall, but I had pumpkin and flour at home, so I could pretend to have made it myself.

The children couldn't take their eyes off the food. Although their fathers were battalion commanders and their mothers were not stingy, thrift is a good virtue of our people. Their mothers were thrifty and would not give them so much food at once.

The parents also came in to take a look, and they were naturally happy to see the situation inside. It was not because they were greedy, but because the host treated them well, which showed their thoughtfulness and that they were valued.

There was also a baby carriage in Lin Wudi's room, with Xiao Shiyi sitting inside. Xiao Shiyi was awake, and he was so happy to see so many brothers and sisters that he babbled. But he was too young, and only Jiang's 5-year-old son and Bei's 3-year-old son, Xiaogouzi, would play with him.

In Xiaoyi's stroller is a stuffed doll made by Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju. In fact, it is just cutting a pattern out of cloth, sewing it, and stuffing some cotton or rags inside. Lin Yiyi made it at first, but it looked weird. After Qin Xiangju found out about this kind of doll, she made one for her grandson. Of course, the pattern was still drawn by Lin Yiyi. Although Qin Xiangju made the most for her youngest grandson, the eldest and second grandsons also had some. She was partial to her youngest grandson, but she also valued the other grandsons, Xiao Rui and Jixiang. She treated everyone equally, otherwise she would not have given Xiao Bin 200 yuan when Xiao Jixiang was born.

Jiang's youngest son was called Lai Xi. He was born after she had two sons. She was very spoiled. Although she was good to her daughters, her goodness was just not letting them go hungry. It was nothing compared to her goodness to her son. When Lai Xi saw Bu

After that, I was so happy that I took it and played with it immediately.

Jiang said, "This is my brother's toy. When you play with it, you must greet him first."

Little Eleven who can't speak: "..."

Lai Xi: "Brother, can I play with it? I'll just play with it for a while and then give it back to you when we leave, okay?"

Little Eleven who can’t speak: “One…”

Lai Xi: "Mom, my brother agrees."

The 3-year-old Xiaogouzi said: "Brother, I want to play too. I want to play too. I'll give it back to you after we leave, okay?" Xiaogouzi and Laixi are quite familiar with each other. They joined the army early, and their fathers were in the same regiment, so they are familiar with each other and often play together. In the military family compound, there are actually factions.

Little Eleven, who couldn't speak, said: "One..." and picked up another doll to give to Little Dog. However, he couldn't hold it steadily and dropped it as soon as he picked it up.

Puppy: "Thank you, little brother."

Little Eleven grinned happily. Children just like to have many people playing with them.

Seeing the children having fun, the parents went to the kitchen to help Lin Yiyi. However, Lin Yiyi had prepared all the dishes in advance and did not need their help, so they went to look after the children again. However, among the three camp ladies, Captain Xu's wife, Xu, came alone and did not bring the children, so she did not go with them and sat behind the stove to help Lin Yiyi light the fire.

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, sister-in-law, why didn't you bring your children?" These people didn't come empty-handed, they all brought food, some vegetables, and some even brought fish and eggs. It's not that you are stingy and don't bring meat, but the meat here is very hard to buy.

Xu: "The children are all in their hometown."

Lin Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Two people are good. Usually we women take care of the children at home, so we need to take a break occasionally."

Xu: “That’s right.”

Xu was a quiet person who didn't talk much. If Lin Yiyi didn't talk, she would just sit quietly in the back and light a fire. This made Lin Yiyi not know how to greet people.

After a while, Xiao Yu, three battalion commanders, and guard He Jing arrived. Coincidentally, Lin Yiyi's last dish, braised fish, was ready. Two pieces of braised fish were cooked. Together with the dishes ordered before, there were a total of eight dishes, with two bowls for each dish, which was enough for everyone to have a satisfying meal.

The youngest of the battalion commanders is almost 30 years old, and some are still in their early 30s. It is not appropriate to call Lin Yiyi sister-in-law, but it is not appropriate to call Lin Yiyi sister-in-law either. After all, Xiao Yu is their superior, so he

They all call Lin Yiyi Comrade Lin.

"Comrade Lin, we are here to disturb you."

"Comrade Lin should have come earlier, otherwise the commander wouldn't have eaten in the cafeteria every day." The cafeteria is basically full of single men. Generally, those who are qualified to follow the army will bring their wives. To put it bluntly, if they don't go home for a few years, they will be sober for a few years and sometimes they will want to eat meat.

He Jing: "Sister-in-law, how can I help you?"

Lin Yiyi: "No, no, you sit down first, you can eat now. I'll warm up the wine for you, egg and glutinous rice wine, the alcohol content is not high, it won't hurt your body, and it won't delay your work tomorrow." She took out the kettle, and the egg wine was in the kettle. The reason why she beat eggs into the wine was because there were many eggs at home, and it was also something she suddenly thought of. In the present life, his father liked to drink egg wine very much. Every time he ate, he would warm up some wine and beat an egg into it. Drinking a little every day is good for the body.

Several men also became interested when they heard about the wine.

Xiao-Woo: "Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Yiyi: "Why bother? Just take your time eating." Then she said to Bei and the others, "The men drink theirs, and we women eat ours." Then she brought out a warm water pot with fermented wine in it. The fermented wine in the dumplings was enough for even a three-year-old child to drink. She poured it for the women and children.

Although the dining table at home is not big, but when we put two tables together, it is still spacious for everyone to sit together. And because the two tables are not big, we don’t have to stand up when picking up food.

Bei took a sip and said, "Oh, this tastes good. Is this also rice wine?" Because he saw glutinous rice.

Lin Yiyi: "This is called wine brewing, which is also made with glutinous rice, but it is suitable for us women and children to drink, because wine brewing has a bit of sweetness, which gay men don't like."

Xu: "Ms. Lin is particular and knows how to eat. I, on the other hand, know nothing."

Lin Yiyi said: "I don't know either. When I first married Brother Yu, I didn't even know how to cook. It was my mother-in-law who taught me."

Xu looked at Lin Yiyi's hands. None of them had a single scar. They certainly didn't look like the hands of someone who did rough work. Then she looked at her own hands, which were very rough and incomparable.

Lin Yiyi: "Mrs. Xu must be a very good cook, right?"

Captain Xu said, "My wife's cooking skills are indeed good. I wanted to marry her because I ate her food."

Xu glared at him, but there was a hint of sweetness in her eyes.

Battalion Commander Xu chuckled.

Lin Yiyi looked at him and thought that his smile was a bit like Lin Dajun's.

He is a very straight man. However, she saw that Xu Shi had a bit of worry in her brows, and when she helped her light the fire today, she seemed to be worried. However, for a very straight man, he doesn't understand a woman's mind, so he has to remind them directly and tell them.

Bei: "Xu's cooking skills are indeed good, comparable to Lin's. When Xu first came to join the army, we also ate her cooking, but the taste of Xu's and Lin's dishes is different. Lin's dishes tend to be light, with a little sweetness, while Xu's dishes are a little heavier and a little spicy." Sweet taste is a characteristic of southerners, and spicy taste is more common. In the real world, this is the case in Hunan and Sichuan. But Lin Yiyi can't eat spicy food. Maybe she is not used to it. She can't stand even a little bit of spiciness. When she was a child, her mother took her to KFC, and the spicy chicken wings in KFC attracted her.

Today's dinner was quite harmonious. The scene of a group of top-notch people fighting for food as in the novel did not appear. The wives of several battalion commanders were quite polite when eating, and the children did not make any noise. It can be seen that the top-notch people in novels only appeared for the plot. In real life, there are not so many top-notch people.

No, there are still some noisy children, for example, little Eleven who just woke up: "One one...one one..." Just now when Lin Yiyi was performing the ritual, he fell asleep while playing with his brothers. Now, less than an hour has passed and he woke up, calling for his mother as soon as he woke up.

Lin Yiyi put down her chopsticks and said, "You guys take your time eating. I'll go see the kids." Then she went to the room.

Tears had already welled up in Little Eleven's eyes, but when he saw his mother coming, he immediately retracted them. No one knew how he did it: "Yi Yi..." He turned around, sat up by himself, and then reached out his hand towards Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi touched his stomach: "Are you hungry?"

Little Eleven's little head was feeding on her mother's breasts and was hungry.

Generally, babies will be weaned at around 8 months old. Lin Yiyi saw that she still had milk and was reluctant to wean him so early, so she decided to wait until 12 months to wean him. It is good for children to drink more breast milk.

Lin Yiyi unbuttoned her shirt and pulled up her bra. As soon as she pulled up her bra, Xiaoyi opened his mouth and couldn't wait to eat. He sucked milk so fast that it seemed like someone was trying to snatch it from him. Moreover, there were no other children in the family, but this child was very protective of his food. He sucked milk with one hand while protecting the other hand. In terms of actions, this was

Each one is his, and no one can take it away from him.

The eight-month-old baby has a big appetite. When he was just born, one candy cane was enough for him, and he couldn’t even finish it all. She felt uncomfortable at that time. Now two candies are not enough for him.

After he finished both of them and burped, Lin Yiyi straightened his clothes, buttoned them, put him in the stroller, and pushed him out for a walk.

As soon as he left the room, he looked around with his big eyes, as if he was looking for someone. Then he saw Xiao Yu among the crowd, and he stretched out his hand to Xiao Yu: "Yiya...Yiya..." He spoke very regularly now, Yiya was referring to himself, and Yiyi was referring to his mother. Because Lin Yiyi called him Xiaoyi, he remembered that Yiya was himself.

Xiao Yu knew what his son was going to do by looking at his movements. His son would only think of him when he was very proud, and usually his mother was in his mind and eyes. This was originally nothing, but when he was sleeping, he would compete with him for his wife, which made him unhappy.

When Xiao Shiyi saw that his father didn't get up, he moved towards his father while sitting in the stroller.

Lin Wudi finished his meal in a few mouthfuls: "Little Eleven, my uncle is here." It's not that he eats fast, there are guests, my brother-in-law has to entertain them, and my sister hasn't eaten yet, so he eats the fastest. Besides, he can eat these dishes on a regular basis, so it's not surprising. Some children eat slowly because they want to eat vegetables.

Xiao Shiyi glanced at his uncle, then reached out to Xiao Yu.

Lin Wudi went over and pushed the stroller outside. The yard was a muddy ground, which was solid but not as comfortable as the cement ground outside the yard, so Lin Wudi pushed the stroller outside the yard, from the front door to the car door of the family yard, and the school was outside the car door. Then, he returned the stroller. It was dinner time, and some families had dinner early, so they went out for a walk. When they saw Lin Wudi pushing the stroller, they came over curiously and asked, "Little boy, what is this?" When they saw a smiling little baby in the stroller, they immediately thought it was very cute.

Lin Wudi said without any shyness, "This is a baby carriage, a carriage for babies and children. Look, auntie, this carriage has four wheels, just like the carriage driven by the soldier brother, so this is also a carriage."

The woman smiled and said, "Baby stroller... that's a good name."

Someone nearby said, "This is indeed a good name. The child looks a little unfamiliar. Whose family are you from?"

Brother Lin Wu is a small but courageous man.

She puffed out her chest and said, "I am from my sister and brother-in-law's family."

Woman: “…”

Puff... A woman laughed out loud: "Who are your brother-in-law and your sister?"

Lin Wudi: "My brother-in-law is Xiao Yu, and my sister is Lin Yiyi."

Little Eleven: "One by one... one by one..."

Brother Lin Wu: "This is my nephew, Xiaoyi."

Woman: "It turns out that he is Captain Xiao's child."

"I haven't heard that Captain Xiao got married."

"I also want to introduce someone to Captain Xiao."

"Captain Xiao is married? When did he get married?"

"Oh, Captain Xiao is already married. What a pity for those female comrades."

Woman: "Little boy, what does your family do?" Xiao Yu is the leader of the group, so everyone is curious about the identity of Xiao Yu's wife. Seeing that Lin Wudi is young and easy to talk to, everyone's gossiping mind came. There is no way, in this era and this place, there is only so much fun.

Brother Lin Wu didn't quite understand the question of what the family does: "What does the family do?"

Everyone knew it from his confused look, so he changed the question: "What do your parents do?"

Lin Wudi shook his head: "I don't know what my parents do."

"You don't even know what your parents do? Some are farmers, some are workers, some are factory managers, and many do other things. What do your parents do?"

Brother Lin Wu said, "My parents don't do these things."

Everyone: “?”

Fifth Brother Lin: "My parents died when I was young. My brothers and sisters said that I was only two years old when my parents died. My sister and brother-in-law raised me since I was a child, so I am the child of my sister and brother-in-law." He is not a child of the Lin family.

When everyone heard that his parents were dead and he lived with his sister and brother-in-law, they thought that Captain Xiao's wife's family conditions must be poor. Otherwise, who would bring their brother with them when they get married?

Before anyone could ask, Lin Wudi said, "But I know what my brothers and sister do. I have three brothers."

Everyone thought that Captain Xiao was a bit unlucky, as he had to support four brothers-in-law in addition to marrying a wife.

Lin Wudi went on to say, "My eldest brother is what everyone calls a worker, my third brother went to the army, my fourth brother is still in school, and my sister is the assistant to the commune president." He said these four times in a row, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone: “…”

I originally thought that Captain Xiao's wife married Captain Xiao with four children, but it turned out not to be the case. Her family had strong backing, including workers and soldiers.

In everyone's mind, this identity is a worker's family or a military family.

Then, someone continued to gossip: "What factory does your elder brother work for? Do you know this?"

Lin Wudi: "I know, from a pig farm. My brother's pigs are very well raised, the best in our area. Every year the commune rewards my brother with a lot of pork, and we can't eat it all. Oh... I don't want to eat pork all the time."

Crowd: Damn, this kid really makes me want to beat him up.

Some people didn't believe it: "How well do your brother raise his pigs? How much pork does the commune give your brother every year? Children shouldn't lie, so don't lie."

Lin Wudi was unhappy: "I didn't lie. My sister said that people should not lie. We should be honest children and contribute to the country... to the people."

Add bricks and tiles!

Everyone thought.

Children are the best reflection of adults. After reading what Lin Wudi said about his sister, everyone felt that Captain Xiao’s wife must be a sensible person, otherwise she would not teach her children like this.

"You have so much meat at home, can you share some with us?"

Lin Wudi's eyes widened. "You want to exchange eggs? One meat ticket in our family is worth eight eggs. My sister said, that... that... that free trade... trade... listen to the country, that means listen to the country's trade, one meat ticket is worth eight eggs."

Hahaha……

Everyone was amused by Lin Wudi.

Someone said, "Okay, I'll give you eight eggs and you'll exchange them for a meat ticket. When can we trade?"

Fifth Brother Lin: "That will be on Sunday. My brother will come to deliver eggs and vegetables on Sunday. I will let my brother trade meat tickets with you guys."

Someone else asked, "Why did your brother come to deliver eggs and vegetables on Sunday?"

Lin Wudi rolled his eyes and said, "Because my sister doesn't raise chickens, there are no eggs to eat. My brother's family has a lot of eggs, so they like to give eggs to my sister the most."
