The old lady was always tolerant of her grandsons. Seeing that the youngest grandson kept asking for candy, she had no choice but to give him some. She took out two fruit candies, one for each of the older and younger grandsons. Seeing that Lin Yiyi was sitting, she gave Lin Yiyi another one: "Girl, have a candy to sweeten your mouth."

Lin Yiyi: "No, thank you." She looked at the old lady's painful expression and refused with a smile.

Although the old lady was reluctant, she looked at Lin Yiyi's clothes and thought she was in good condition, so she always tried to curry favor with people like her. She was very good at dealing with people, and it was just a piece of candy, but she could maintain a good relationship with her. However, she hoped that she would not show a reluctant expression on her face.

Lin Yiyi said, "Really, thank you. I'm seasick, so I'm afraid of eating on the boat, otherwise I'll vomit." She didn't dare to eat the old lady's food. From her expression, she knew that she wasn't a generous person. A generous person wouldn't be reluctant to give up a piece of fruit candy, so Lin Yiyi didn't dare to accept this kind of thing. After eating it, it would be bad if she needed to return it for other things.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's a pity, but people who are seasick really don't need to eat."

Little boy: "Grandma, if she doesn't want it, just give it to me."

The old lady said: "No, you can't eat too much. What if you get seasick?"

At half past eight, the boat docked, and Lin Yiyi pushed her bicycle to the island. There was a large wooden board between the boat and the shore, so it was safe to push the bicycle to the shore. The old lady followed with her grandson, and said to Lin Yiyi, "Girl, we don't know where the troops are. Can you take us there?"

Lin Yiyi said: "Just walk along this road, turn left at the first bend, and then..."

The old lady interrupted Lin Yiyi and said, "Girl, we can't remember the way. Please lead us."

Lin Yiyi: "I'm sorry, I have kids at home, I have to hurry back. How about this, there are bullock carts over there, they will take you to the troops, but there is a fee for the bullock carts, you just need to pay a little money." If it was a short distance, it would be fine for her to walk with them, but it would take half an hour to drive the troops' car, and it would take less than an hour to walk, so she naturally didn't want to walk. She would be exhausted after walking for more than an hour, and then she would have to push the bicycle.

When the old lady heard about the ox cart ride, she also wanted to ride it: "How much is the ox cart fare?"

Lin Yiyi said, "I don't know either. It seems to be two cents per person. You can go and ask." She heard Lin Dajun say that this was the price they paid when they took the ox cart before, but they took the ox cart to the village. At that time, the ox cart was used to carry things to the dock and was not convenient to carry them to the army.

The old lady went to ask, and was told it was three cents per person. She negotiated for the price and insisted on two cents per person, but the oxcart driver refused. In the end, she could only pay three cents per person and take her grandson on the oxcart.

Lin Yiyi: "Auntie, I'll leave first."

The old lady: "Hey, see you at the troops."

Of course, a bullock cart is not as fast as a bicycle. Lin Yiyi arrived at the army forty minutes later. It was almost nine o'clock. "Xiao Wu." She saw Lin Wudi waiting at the entrance of the army with a baby stroller. He tied an umbrella to the stroller. Xiao Shiyi couldn't bask in the sun. He sat next to the stroller and fanned himself. Seeing this, Lin Yiyi found it funny.

When Lin Wudi saw his sister, he immediately stood up and waved: "Sister, sister, why are you so slow?" Because Lin Yiyi also brought the clock that Xiao Yu bought from the recycling station and placed it in the lobby, she taught Lin Wudi how to read the time and told him that she would arrive at the unit at around 8:20 today. At 8:20, Lin Wudi pushed the stroller to the entrance of the unit to pick up his sister, but he didn't see Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi said, "Sister was delayed on the road for a while. Are you hot? Let's go home quickly." She was delayed because of the old lady.

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

Lin Yiyi looked at Xiao Shiyi's red face and thought that he was a little overheated. She said, "Mom is back. Were you well behaved when your uncle was with you?"

Xiao Shiyi didn't understand: "One by one... one by one..."

Fifth Brother Lin: "He is very well behaved. He didn't cry today, but he cried last night and he didn't even want his brother-in-law to hold him."

Little Eleven is also a very strong-willed boy. Usually his mother holds him in her arms and coaxes him to sleep. But last night his mother was not there, and only his stinky father was there, and he cried for a long time.

Lin Yiyi shook her head: "What happened next?"

Fifth Brother Lin: "I cried until I fell asleep."

Lin Yiyi: "Let him sleep with your brother-in-law more often in the future, and he will get used to it."

When they got home, Lin Yiyi took the things off the bicycle, especially the bathtub, which was one meter in diameter and about 30 centimeters high. She soaked it in water for a while, then poured out the water and wiped it clean with a towel. Then she carried Xiao Shiyi into the bathtub: "Okay, you can play here, are you happy?" For a 9-month-old baby, who can't play with a stroller, this kind of bathtub is the best. Then she threw Xiao Shiyi's stuffed toy into the bathtub.

Little Eleven sat in the bathtub, touching everywhere out of curiosity, then raised his butt and crawled around, and even stood up by holding on to the side.

Lin Wudi: "Sister, he seems to like it very much."

Lin Yiyi: "Yes." If it were modern times, she would have wanted to get some little ducks, but there were no such little ducks in this era, so she couldn't take them out. Then, she took out all sorts of things.

Lin Wudi: "Wow, sister, did you buy all these?"

Lin Yiyi: "Well, some families have a good harvest of watermelons and peaches, and they have all been sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives, so I took the opportunity to buy some." Some people in the countryside grow watermelons and some grow peaches, and it just happens to be this season. If it weren't for the fact that mulberry is difficult to carry, she would have wanted to buy mulberry too, but she bought mulberry wine instead.

Fifth Brother Lin: “That’s great.”

Lin Yiyi soaked the watermelon in water, washed an apple, cut it in half with a knife, and gave half to Lin Wudi: "Eat it." She used a spoon to scrape the remaining half into apple puree. "Little Eleven, try this."

Little Eleven opened his mouth, and his eyes lit up. In his 9-month life, he had never eaten anything so delicious. Whether it was breast milk, formula or rice noodles, they were all tasteless, only apples were sweet. Little Eleven licked his mouth with his tongue, and then opened his mouth again.

Lin Yiyi continued to feed him: "Is it delicious?"

Little Eleven: "One by one."

Lin Yiyi: "If it tastes good, I'll give you a little every day. But you can only eat a quarter, not too much." After feeding her son a few spoons, Lin Yiyi put him in the large bathtub and let him play by himself. She saw that it was almost time, so she went to cook.

Lin Yiyi took out two white crabs and planned to cook scallion crabs for lunch. She thought that she could leave the island once a month in the future, under the pretext of going home to visit, but actually going out to buy things, leaving the island once, and then coming back, so that the things she took out would also be good for her eyesight.

At noon, Xiao Yu came back and saw his son playing in the large bathtub. He thought it was very novel and asked, "Is this the bathtub I ordered before?"

Lin Yiyi: "Yes, what do you think?"

Xiao Yu: "It's really convenient to give him a bath with this thing." Otherwise, it's very inconvenient to hold the child in the bath. "By the way, the military elementary school is recruiting, are you interested?"

Lin Yiyi: "Not yet, Eleven is still young, we'll talk about it when he's three years old and can go to nursery." Otherwise, who would take care of the child when she goes to work? Let someone else take care of the child for work? She was obviously worried, and she didn't lack money. Besides, the thinking of people in this era is very different from that of later generations, and she didn't want others to teach her son. Moreover, she had been an office worker for several years in the present world, and she didn't have a good impression of working.

After lunch

"Uncle Xiaowu...Uncle Xiaowu..." Li Wanda and others shouted at the gate of the yard.

Brother Lin Wu finished the rice in his bowl in a few mouthfuls, picked up two large crab claws and ran out: "Here."

Li Wanda: "Uncle Xiaowu, Zhang Jiaqiang and his friends have invited us to a tug-of-war competition today. Do you want to go?"

Lin Wudi: "Go." As he said that, he gave the two crab claws to Li Wanda and Hong Laixi.

Li Wanda: "Is this a crab claw? It's so big." Because this is an island with beaches and rock paths, Li Wanda also knows about crabs. But the crabs he usually sees on the beaches and rock paths are very small crabs, not even as big as Xiao Eleven's fist. Now seeing such a big crab claw, he was stunned.

Hong Laixi: "Uncle Xiaowu, can I eat this?"

Lin Wudi: "You can eat this crab claw after you chew it up. The meat inside is delicious. My sister bought it outside today." As he said this, he looked at it reluctantly. When his sister made scallion oil crab today, she used two crabs, a total of four crab claws. He has already eaten two, and the remaining two are for his friends. Who told them that they are ignorant and have never eaten this before? Thinking of this, Lin Wudi felt sorry for them, "Haven't you eaten this before?"

Li Wanda shook his head: "No, I don't have this in my hometown. I only knew about crabs when I came to the army, but they were all small crabs."

As for Hong Lai Xi, he was born in the army and had never been to his hometown, so he had no idea where it was. So he shook his head while eating crab meat.

Lin Wudi: "Have you ever eaten shrimps? Shrimps this big." As he said this, he compared with his hands.

Li Wanda: "I have seen it. The villagers here have fishing nets and sometimes they catch shrimps, but not as big as this. They are small, about the size of a finger."

Li Wanda was talking about small white shrimps, but Lin Wudi didn’t know what small white shrimps were, so he thought that this shrimp was too small.

Lin Wudi went out to play, Xiaoyi fell asleep, and Lin Yiyi had nothing to do, so she washed and peeled the peaches, then cut them into pieces and boiled them in water. This is how canned fruit is made. After cooking, they were placed in the pot to cool.

"Sister Lin." Mrs. Bei came.
