Lin Yiyi naturally didn't know that there were many people watching football on the playground. She washed the clothes and fetched water, and she was exhausted. It must be said that without a man at home, women have a hard time, especially fetching water. She was weak, and it took her several trips back and forth to fill the water tank, which made her exhausted. After resting for a while, she was ready to look for her son. Although Xiao Jixiang was playing with him, she was still worried about the child. As a result, before she left the house, Grandma Xiao came.

Lin Yiyi: "Grandma, you're here. I was just about to go out to look for Eleven, but I don't know where he went."

Grandma Xiao: "Your grandpa took them to the playground near the village committee to play. It's shameful for an old man to take a few children to play football."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, she hurriedly said, "Grandpa is in good health, and the children like him."

Grandma Xiao smiled and gave her the things in the basket.

Lin Yiyi took a look and said: "This is pickled bones and radishes." Lin Yiyi likes to eat this very much. Chop the bones and pickle them with glutinous rice. It is very fragrant, and it is not easy to go bad in winter. It can be stored for half a month. This is also crispy. Unlike Lin Yiyi's previous self-made ones that need rice vinegar and soy sauce, this is white, the radish is cut into strips, and a radish is quartered. It tastes very crisp.

Grandma Xiao said: "I know you like to eat."

Lin Yiyi: “These bones were shared by my third brother, right?” And there should be quite a lot of bones, otherwise one or two kilograms of meat and bones would have been used to make soup. Who would be willing to eat it like this?

Grandma Xiao: "That's right. In the past two months, many pigs have been killed in the pig farm, and there are a lot of bones. He took advantage of the cheap price to collect them and gave some to the villagers." Everyone couldn't afford meat, so drinking bone soup was fine.

Lin Yiyi: "That's great. Third brother, you're doing a good job. If you work harder, you should be able to get a permanent position, right?" After all, he has been doing this for almost two years.

Grandma Xiao said, "I heard from the third brother that other communes also want to open a pig farm this year, and they will need the technical support of Sunshine Commune, so a few backbones will be sent over. If Sunshine Commune doesn't have enough people, he can apply to become a formal employee."

Lin Yiyi heard this and said, "Even if other communes open pig farms, the pig farming technology here will not be brought over. Once the pig farmers bring their technology over, the business here will decline. But even if the technology is not brought over, the pig farms will still make money as long as there is no epidemic." After all, there is a great shortage of meat in this era. "By the way, grandma, do you know when other communes will open pig farms?"

Grandma Xiao: "I heard from the third child that it was around May or June, when the weather was a little warmer but not too hot."

Lin Yiyi said: "After the Chinese New Year, Dajun will graduate from high school in mid-June. If he also applies for a regular job, the possibility should be very high." After all, Dajun is a technical backbone.

Grandma Xiao: "Ah, I forgot about this. It would be great if Dajun could be converted to a regular soldier."

Lin Yiyi: "If Dajun becomes a regular employee, no matter if he changes jobs with Dad or not, Dad will be a regular employee." Lin Yiyi thought about it again. If Dajun becomes a regular employee, it is okay for him and Xiao Daqiang not to change jobs. For Xiao Daqiang, he is getting older, and it is good to be a security guard. It is easy, and being a security guard in the commune also gives him face. For Lin Dajun, he is still young, and it is good for him to learn more things in the pig farm and get in touch with more people. After all, he will only be 30 years old in ten years, and it is time to start struggling. Of course, Lin Yiyi will not take her brothers to take advantage of the real estate loopholes, but she will remind them of their future development appropriately.

Grandma Xiao said, "That's exactly the truth." The Xiao family was lucky to have Yi Yi. Since Yi Yi came into the family, the family has had two workers, and this was also thanks to Yi Yi being able to look up to the second son.

Xiao Yu, who was rejected by his grandmother: ...

Lin Yiyi put her things away and said, "Grandma, I'm going to the playground to see Eleven, do you want to come over?"

Grandma Xiao: "Let's go and have a look. I don't know what the old man and the children are playing."

The playground in front of the village committee was very lively. Not only did the villagers gather together to watch, but the educated youth also came. When Lin Yiyi and Grandma Xiao went there, they happened to meet a male educated youth talking about football, and the villagers listened with relish. In this era of information closure, everyone likes to listen to anything about the country. After listening, they will tell the people around them. They think this is a proud thing and a kind of honor.

Lin Yiyi and Grandma Xiao came, but they didn't disturb them. Instead, they found a place to stand and listened, watching the children playing. Lin Yiyi saw that Xiao Shiyi's cotton padded jacket had been taken off and was held by Grandpa Xiao. He was now wearing a dark gray sweater and black corduroy pants. Compared with other children wearing gray puffy clothes, he was like a little sun, like a young master in the city. But his family had been poor farmers for generations, his father was a regiment commander in the army, and his mother was a woman who had been praised by the government and the country, so his background was clean, and no one would say anything to him even if he dressed a little better. After all, in this county town, who didn't know that Lin Yiyi was a hero who grew vegetables on the stove. Even after many years, people who had experienced the hardship of famine would not forget her.

There were already beads of sweat on the child's face. He wiped it with his sleeve and then shouted again: "Brother, kick it to me."

Next to Xiao Shiyi was Jixiang, who kicked the ball gently to him. He then grinned and kicked the ball to the people next to him. It was really fun for everyone to play football in a circle.

After a while, Xiao Shiyi saw Lin Yiyi in the crowd. He suddenly ran away and ran towards Lin Yiyi: "Yi Yi..."

Lin Yiyi squatted down, took out a handkerchief from her trouser pocket, and wiped his sweat: "Are you hot?"

Xiao Shi shook his head, then nodded: "Let's play more."

Lin Yiyi: "Then you play." It was rare for someone to play with him, so Lin Yiyi naturally wouldn't stop him. As Xiao Shiyi ran over, everyone noticed Lin Yiyi. The children looked at Lin Yiyi and thought Xiao Shiyi's mother was really pretty. In this comparison, the mother at home became a dried pickled vegetable. Fortunately, the mother at home didn't know what these little bastards were thinking, otherwise her butt would definitely be beaten.

It was almost noon when Lin Yiyi asked the children to stop playing. Jixiang took Xiao Shiyi and followed Lin Yiyi home. Xiao Shiyi was still holding the ball. He watched the football very closely and refused to let anyone take it.

After returning home, Lin Yiyi poured warm water for Xiao Shiyi to wipe his body. She did not take off his clothes, but directly lifted up his clothes, then put her hand in to wipe off the sweat. If the child took off his clothes, the cold and hot shock would make it easy for him to catch a cold.

For lunch, Grandma Xiao brought some pickled bones and made some tomato and potato soup. There were not many people at home, just Lin Yiyi, Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Jixiang, so two dishes were enough. The tomato and potato soup tasted sour and delicious. Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Jixiang drank half a bowl. If Lin Yiyi hadn't stopped them from drinking more, they would have probably continued to drink.

At the same time, at the Lin family, Lin Sijun, Lin Wujun and Li Wanda were also having lunch. They were eating dumplings. The three of them were also sweating profusely, as they had also played football for the whole morning.

Lin Sijun: "Do I need a ticket to buy this football?" He has money, but no ticket.

Lin Wujun: "I don't know about that."

Lin Sijun: "I'll go to my sister's house in the afternoon to ask her, and then have dinner there." Having dinner is also very important, and he really doesn't want to cook by himself.

Lin Wujun: "You just go there to eat." You know, when Lin Sijun was in school, he also went there to eat every day.

Lin Sijun: "You don't know this. Eating is very important."

However, when they were eating, the captain's wife came and asked, "Fourth Army... Is Fourth Army here?"

Lin Sijun: "Auntie, I'm here."

The captain's wife entered the room and saw Lin Wujun there. She was very surprised and said, "Wujun is back, and your sister is back too."

Lin Wujun: "My sister is back too. We came back yesterday morning. She said she came back to celebrate the New Year and visit my sister-in-law. She's worried about me because my sister-in-law is about to give birth."

The team leader's wife said: "Your sister-in-law and her family live in the county town now, and it's more convenient to go to the hospital there. Her due date is during the Chinese New Year. We hope she'll be born after the Chinese New Year. If she's born before the Chinese New Year, it would be a loss on this birthday." After all, this birthday is too young, especially when children are going on blind dates. This birthday is very unfavorable. After all, if she's born in the first month of the lunar year, she'll be one year younger, and if she's born before the Chinese New Year, she'll be one year older. Not even a year difference can make a difference when it comes to getting married.

However, Lin Wujun didn't understand these.

The captain's wife added, "By the way, Sijun, the brigade will distribute food and money this afternoon, don't forget to go over after dinner." When her daughter was not around, she often came to see him and sometimes helped Lin Sijun.

Lin Sijun: "Hey, I'll go right over." But their family had little food and money. Almost no one worked. My eldest sister-in-law worked in the first half of the year, but then she got pregnant, so my eldest brother didn't let her work anymore. Even when he and my eldest brother worked, it was only on weekends, so they didn't get many work points a day. So there was little food and money, but even if it was little, it was still food and money.

The captain's wife reminded him, "Wu Jun is here today too. You have to pay 15 yuan as a deposit for your old house. You have to give this money to Wu Jun."

Lin Sijun: "Oh, I forgot about that." Then he said to Lin Wujun, "You came back at the right time."

After dinner, the Lin brothers and Li Wanda went to the playground immediately. They were late, and there were already many people waiting in line.

"The Four Armies." Zhang Xiaojun, Fang Fang and Fang Cao were also waiting. Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang were teachers, and teachers had full work points, so their work points could be exchanged for a lot of food.

Lin Sijun: "Second brother." Even though he didn't like Zhang Xiaojun, Lin Sijun was still polite and introduced him to Lin Wujun, "Xiaowu, this is Second Brother. You may not know him, but your house is for Second Brother. He happened to be collecting the deposit today."
