Chapter 137



In the blink of an eye, it was June of 1967.

Lin Dajun: “Sister…Sister…”

Lin Yiyi walked out of the hall: "Dajun, why are you here? Don't you have to study today?" Today is Saturday.

Lin Dajun came alone. This Saturday, Lin Sijun was still studying and he came on leave.

Lin Dajun put down the backpack and said breathlessly, "Sister, something happened outside."

Something happened? Lin Yiyi understood it immediately, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she pretended not to know and asked, "What happened?" While saying that, she poured Lin Dajun a glass of boiled water.

Lin Dajun: "A few days ago, the school announced that the college entrance examination was cancelled." In fact, the country had already announced the cancellation of the college entrance examination earlier, but their area is a bit remote, so they didn't know about it until later. As he said this, Lin Dajun sighed, "Although I don't plan to go to college, I'm still sad about the cancellation of the college entrance examination." He really didn't want to study anymore, but even if he didn't want to study anymore, he was sad about the cancellation of the college entrance examination. After all, college is the dream of many high school students.

Lin Yiyi said: "The country certainly has its own plans. No matter what the country's plans are, as long as we ordinary people follow the country and the party, it will definitely be right. You don't have to discuss this matter. If someone asks you what you think about canceling the college entrance examination, you should say that as ordinary people, we should follow the country and the party and cannot discuss other things. Do you understand?"

Lin Dajun: "I understand." Lin Dajun is a very cautious person in some aspects.

Lin Yiyi said: "Always keep this in mind. If someone asks you about matters related to the government or the country, you should insist on following the government and the country, and don't comment on anything else. Otherwise, if someone hears you discussing national affairs, you will be arrested and sent to jail."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, I know, don't worry." He is the most honest person, and he values ​​his life very much. He will not do anything dangerous. However, "Sister, the school is in chaos recently. Several classmates' fathers have been arrested, and some have even been beaten to death. I am a little scared."

Lin Yiyi said, "You don't need to get involved in their affairs. You will be a senior in the second half of the year, and you will graduate from high school next year. You should graduate from high school safely. No matter what others do, you should not get involved. Only by avoiding trouble can you protect yourself. Do you understand?"

Lin Dajun: “I understand.”

Lin Yiyi: "If

If someone asks you to do something, just refuse and say you are afraid. Don’t worry about whether others will look down on you. Don’t get yourself into trouble by arguing with others.”

Lin Dajun: “Yes.” He would never do anything that would cause him trouble.

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, don't worry. If someone bullies you and wants to do something to you, just be brave and say that you are a military family member. Sanjun is your younger brother, and he is a soldier, so you are a military family member. The soldiers are fighting on the front line, and we, the military families in our hometown, are protected by the country."

Lin Dajun: "Okay, I understand, sister. I will remember it. Sister, there is one more thing..." When he said this, his face turned red.

Lin Yiyi: “What’s the matter?”

Lin Dajun chuckled and said, "Xiaozhen is pregnant. I'm going to be a father."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, she thought it was a good thing: "That's great. Now that you're a father, you need to be more sensible and provide a good life for your wife and children."

Lin Dajun: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Yiyi: "How many months have you been pregnant?"

Lin Dajun: "It's been two months, but the belly is still not visible."

Lin Yiyi: "Of course you can't see the belly at only two months. After Xiaozhen gets pregnant, remember to let her take a walk after every meal. This will be good for childbirth. Also, during pregnancy, your body is not in good condition, so don't eat too much. Otherwise, the baby will be big and it will not only be dangerous when it comes out, but the mother will also suffer." Especially in this day and age, there are too many people who die from dystocia.

Lin Dajun: “I remember it.”

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "In the future, take your wife to the hospital once a month. Even if she is fine, she should go to the hospital. This will be safer."

Lin Dajun: “Hey.”

Lin Yiyi: "When you are about to give birth, you can live in my house in the county town. When you give birth, you can go directly to the hospital. Don't call for a midwife in the countryside. It's safer to send her to the hospital."

Lin Dajun: “I remember it.”

Lin Yiyi: "We don't have parents at home. When your wife gives birth, there will be no one to take care of her during the confinement period. You can ask your mother-in-law if she can come to take care of her during the confinement period. We will provide all the food and give her five yuan a month. If your mother-in-law doesn't have time, you can ask her if she can recommend someone suitable. The person she recommends should be older, preferably about the same age as your mother-in-law, and not a little girl, so as not to cause gossip."

Lin Dajun wrote them down one by one. In fact, he was like Lin Wudi. As he grew up, Lin Wudi could not remember his parents, but for him, his parents had long been blurred.

The one I remember most is my elder sister. Back then, they had no food, and it was my elder sister who got married and brought them food. Back then, when other families were hungry, my elder sister could still give them candy. Later, my elder sister earned money by writing articles, and all of us in the family could go to school. Later, my elder sister taught them the technique of raising pigs, and our family became rich and built a house.

At that time, he was still young, only 15 years old, and he always believed what his sister said. But now he is 19 years old, and he already knows that the so-called pig-raising technology could not have been told to his sister by his mother, but that his sister got it accidentally. In Lin Dajun's heart, his sister is like his mother, and he respects her. In other words, his mother who starved to death when he was 13 years old did not win his respect, but his sister is the most important person in his life.

At noon, Lin Wudi came back from school for lunch. When he saw Lin Dajun coming, he was very happy and chattered with Lin Dajun about school matters.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand, looked a little serious, with a frown on his face.

Lin Yiyi had lived with him for six years, so she knew that he was worried, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment: "Not only is the college entrance examination cancelled this year, but many educated youth have gone to the countryside. In addition, the situation above is also very unstable."

Lin Yiyi suddenly understood that the cancellation of the college entrance examination, the forced relocation of educated youth to the countryside, and the other thing was relocation. Judging from Xiao Yu's appearance, he was from the army, and among those who were relocated, there were intellectuals and military personnel. Thinking of this, Lin Yiyi said, "I heard from the army that the situation in the county is a bit tense now, and some intellectuals have been arrested..." After a pause, Lin Yiyi said, "Brother Yu, where did the arrested intellectuals go?"

Xiao Yu said: "Demoted."

Lin Yiyi pretended to be surprised, but she actually knew it.

Xiao Yu added: "After lunch, I want to discuss something with you."

Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.” Lin Yiyi vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the current situation.

After lunch, the couple returned to their room.

Xiao Yu motioned for Lin Yiyi to sit down and asked directly: "Do you remember why I was transferred here after I resumed business?"

Lin Yiyi said, "Well, you said that the situation was a bit tense at the time, and it was not good to be too close to the center of power. This unit is cheap and not favored by the higher-ups, so it is very suitable."

Xiao Yu said: "Yes, this is what my leader said at the time. At that time, he was also in a mess. And today, I received a call from him. He has a good relationship with a comrade-in-arms.

, was also arrested, and is expected to be demoted in the next few days. He secretly manipulated it, and this leader will be demoted to our brigade."

Lin Yiyi suddenly realized: "Does this mean you should take care of it secretly?"

Xiao Yu: "Yes, this old leader has contributed a lot, but the current situation is like this, so..."

Lin Yiyi: "I understand. You are on the island. This is inconvenient for you. I will do it."

In fact, Xiao Yu also meant this. He couldn't leave the island all the time, but he was worried about others, so his wife was the best client. However, he was also worried about what his wife would think. Now that she brought it up on her own initiative, he knew that she would not look down on those who were sent down.

Because of this incident, Lin Yiyi decided to go back to the countryside to live for a while, because she didn't know when those who were sent down would come back, so the next weekend, she took Xiao Shiyi away, leaving Xiao Yu and Lin Wudi to "depend on each other".

At the dock, Lin Wudi said, "Sister, I'm going to have a holiday soon. I'll come to accompany you and Xiao Shiyi during the holiday. Xiao Shiyi, don't miss your uncle too much. Your uncle will come to play with you soon."

Lin Yiyi: “…” This voice is like a cannonball.

Xiao Yu hit Lin Wudi's head with a helpless look, and then looked at Lin Yiyi with a serious expression.

Lin Yiyi: "Don't worry, I'll come back after I buy the things."

Xiao-Woo smiled and said, "Okay."

Lin Dajun was carrying a large bag of things, all of which were clothes and pants that Xiao Shiyi had worn. In the past, the clothes that Lin Wudi had worn were all given to Xiao Jixiang. Now, the clothes that Xiao Shiyi had worn when he was a child could just be given to Dajun's children. Moreover, there was no gender distinction for clothes worn by such young children. Girls could also wear clothes that had been worn by boys. Not only did it save a lot of money, but even the threads of old clothes made them more comfortable. You know, Xiao Jixiang still spreads the clothes that Lin Wudi had worn. When he wears them out, they are much better than other children's clothes.

Little Eleven held his mother's hand and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, please come quickly."

Lin Wudi: "Well, I promise to come quickly."

Lin Yiyi: "Eleven, say goodbye to daddy."

Little Eleven waved his chubby little hand towards his father and said, "Goodbye, Daddy." Little Eleven, who is already 21 months old, can now speak fluently. Lin Yiyi thinks that this is all thanks to Lin Wudi, who keeps talking to Little Eleven every day. Especially now, Little Eleven knows a lot of stories.

Xiao-Woo: "Goodbye."
