Zhang Xiaojun was completely stunned. He had never thought that after he passed away, the Lin family would undergo such a big change. First, the eldest sister was praised by the county and the commune for growing vegetables on the stove, and was even named the hero of growing vegetables on the stove. Then the worker position awarded by the commune was reserved for Lin Dajun. Then, because of her pig-raising skills, the commune rewarded her with money, which was used to build houses for Dajun, Sanjun and Sijun. Finally, she worked hard to skip a grade in high school and graduated to become the president's assistant. Because of her, the commune and some brigades had classes for the illiterate, nurseries, etc. She was a famous figure in the whole commune. More importantly, everything she did was for the commune and the people.

Zhang Xiaojun thought, if he had not had an heir, would he have become a worker now that he had graduated from high school? Even if his house was in the countryside, wouldn't he be able to buy a house in the county town as a worker? Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaojun's mind moved. However, the Lin family was originally his retreat, but now that the Lin family made him feel proud, it was no longer his retreat. Even if he wanted to return to the Zhang family, he could still recognize the Lin family here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaojun was in a very good mood.

Next, Fang Cao and others changed eggs and vegetables. Everyone went to the countryside, and they had more or less prepared things at home. To be honest, eggs are something they like to eat very much. Because the supply of eggs is limited in the county, they can't easily eat them, so they are quite happy to be able to exchange eggs here.

On the way back, Fang Cao said, "I don't know where Lin Dajun's family is. I want to exchange some rice for my sister." Fang Fang's character is a bit willful and arrogant, which is Fang Cao's habit, but Fang Cao himself is a person with a good character. He just loves his sister very much. This time, it was her sister who wanted to go to the countryside, saying that she wanted to support rural construction. He was worried about his sister coming, so he followed her.

Zhang Xiaojun said, "It's almost August 15th. Aunt Gui said that the 15th is the commune's trading day. There will be a lot of things to exchange then. We can go and take a look."

Fang Cao: "That's right, let's wait a few days."

Everyone went to the dormitory for educated youths. Zhang Xiaojun put down the eggs and cucumbers. He had planned to have cucumbers as a snack at night, but after hearing what Gui Po said, he changed his mind and planned to have dinner at Lin's house. However, it was not impossible to go. He took out the things he brought. The small things he brought included White Rabbit milk candy, brown sugar, and malted milk. He was reluctant to give up the malted milk, so he prepared White Rabbit milk candy and brown sugar.

After finishing the packing, Zhang Xiaojun went out. Fang Cao saw Zhang Xiaojun carrying things out, but he didn't ask much. Zhang Xiaojun didn't know where Lin Dajun's family was, so he went to the old house of the Lin family and asked the family next door to the old house of the Lin family.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Auntie, do you know where Lin Dajun and the others have gone?" He pretended to know nothing about the Lin family.

The aunt next door looked at Zhang Xiaojun and said: "Why do you look so familiar? If you look closely, you do look a bit like Dajun."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Auntie, I am from the Second Army."

Auntie: "...Erjun?" She didn't react at first, but then her eyes widened. It was because Lin Erjun had disappeared for too long. He had never come back since he passed away, so everyone had forgotten about him. Now that he was suddenly mentioned, the aunt next door still found it a little unbelievable. "Yes, yes, yes, the Lin family had an Erjun who passed away. No wonder you look like Dajun. It turned out to be Erjun. But Dajun and his family don't live here anymore. They live over there. I'll take you there."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Thank you, Auntie."

The aunt next door brought Zhang Xiaojun to the door of Lin Dajun's house and said, "This is Dajun's house. Dajun is working at the pig farm right now, and Dajun's wife is at home. By the way, Dajun's wife is Lin Zhen, the daughter of the captain's family. I won't go in, you go in."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Hey, thank you, Auntie." Looking at the three courtyards in a row, because the walls are high, you can't see inside, but the fact that they can build three houses of this kind, and they are made of blue bricks, shows the conditions of the owner. Moreover, the blue bricks of this house were provided by the commune, and they were a reward from Lin Yiyi for providing pig-raising technology. The rewards from the commune are equivalent to rewards from the state. In this era, this is a very appropriate property and very safe.

Zhang Xiaojun looked at the house with envy. If he had not inherited it, he would have a place in the house now. Lin Dajun's current workers should also be his, after all, Lin Dajun is a fool and his brain is not flexible. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaojun narrowed his eyes and made a plan in his mind.

The gate to Lin Dajun's yard was open, and Zhang Xiaojun shouted from outside, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Lin Zhen came out of the house: "Someone is here, who are you?" Looking at the young man in front of her who looked a bit like Lin Dajun, Lin Zhen was a little surprised.

Zhang Xiaojun smiled and pushed up his glasses: "You are Lin Zhen, right? I haven't seen you for six years. You have changed a lot."

Lin Zhen: "Who are you?"

Zhang Xiaojun: "I am Lin Erjun. Do you still remember me?"

Lin Zhen was stunned. Of course she had an impression. As the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and the eldest daughter-in-law, she knew very well about Lin Erjun's inheritance. Fortunately, she was 13 years old at that time and remembered things. Otherwise, if she was younger, she would not have any impression. Lin Zhen: "Er... Erjun, why are you here? Dajun is not here, so... come in and sit down." Lin Zhen was a little unsure of the other party's intention, but since he came to her house and was her husband's brother, even if he was already inherited, he was still a relative, so she could only ask him to go back.

Zhang Xiaojun walked into the yard, looked around, then walked into the hall and took a look at the shape of the house. It was a blue brick house painted white. This house was really nice. It was not worse than the houses in the county town, and the space was even better than the houses in the county town.

Zhang Xiaojun gave the White Rabbit sugar and brown sugar in his hand to Lin Zhen: "I heard that you married my elder brother, so I should call you sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, this is a little gift from me. I am an educated youth who went to the countryside. My adoptive parents' family had a quota for going to the countryside, and I wanted to go home, so I signed up to go to the countryside."

Zhang Xiaojun: "How has your family been doing during my absence? It seems to be doing well. As long as your family is doing well, I will be relieved."

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "It's good and it's the result of everyone's hard work. When you first adopted me, I had not yet married into the Lin family. The younger brothers at home were too poor to eat or study. We went to the mountains every day to find food. Later, the eldest sister got married and helped the family, so life became better, but the food every day was not enough. It’s something that makes clear soup. It wasn’t until the eldest sister invented the stove to grow vegetables that everyone could fill their stomachs with vegetables.” Although this was not an exaggeration, Lin Zhen was not a fool. She would have been crying before she knew Zhang Xiaojun’s purpose. “All of these troops have gone to school, and the money was paid by my brother-in-law.”

Zhang Xiaojun was silent for a moment: "Fortunately, even though I was reluctant to leave everyone, I was ruthless enough to adopt her. Otherwise, my eldest sister would have been under even greater pressure."

Lin Zhen: "..." I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person. "When you just passed away, my eldest sister missed you and thought about you every day. She even got seriously ill because of you. She also said that even if you passed away, you would definitely write to her, but you didn't send any news, which broke my eldest sister's heart! "This is what she said herself, because she knew that Zhang Xiaojun had never written to the Lin family after he passed away. Husbands and wives always chat, and when Lin Zhen and Lin Dajun chatted, they also talked about Zhang Xiaojun. Lin Zhen remembered that when they talked about him, Lin Dajun disliked him very much and cursed him as an ungrateful person and a wicked person. He also knew that this person had seduced Dajun and asked his elder sister to sell blood for them to support them and pay for their studies. Thinking of this, Lin Zhen frowned slightly, and she was a little worried about this person.

Zhang Xiaojun heard what Lin Zhen said and sighed: "I also want to write a letter to my family, but...but my adoptive parents wouldn't let me write. I was still young at that time. Once when I wanted to write a letter, they vented their anger on me, and then they locked me up and beat me. They beat me many times, and I got scared. After that, I didn't dare to write anymore. This rare opportunity to go to the countryside, I thought I could finally come back."

Lin Zhen didn't know Zhang Xiaojun well, so she didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but she didn't speculate, and certainly didn't show much hostility, she just said, "The foster parents are really bad."

Zhang Xiaojun: “That’s right.”

Zhang Xiaojun stood up and said, "No, no, I'll go to the educated youth dormitory to eat. I just came to see my family. I'll go back now."

Lin Zhen: "Don't be so polite. When your elder brother comes back, I'll ask him to call you."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Really, it's not necessary."

Lin Zhen: "Just wait." She went out with Zhang Xiaojun and went to the captain's house.

Lin Zhen: "It's only four months old, how come it's grown up already? Mom, let me tell you something."

The captain's wife asked, "What's the matter? You look so nervous."

Lin Zhen said: "A man named Zhang Xiaojun came to our house just now. He was a male educated youth who went to the countryside. He was Lin Erjun who moved to the county town that year..." Then Lin Zhen recounted the whole story.

The captain's wife couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "When your father went to pick up the educated youth this morning, he didn't say he was Lin Erjun. And he didn't say it during lunch. Why did he suddenly come to tell us now? And he even knows that you are Dajun's wife."
