Chapter 167



Lin Wujun did not know Zhang Xiaojun, but he knew about Zhang Xiaojun. When Zhang Xiaojun was going to live in the old house, Lin Yiyi briefly told him about the Lin family. She did not think that protecting a child meant hiding everything from him. A **-year-old child also has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, so she told him about Zhang Xiaojun's adoption.

It was also the first time that Zhang Xiaojun saw Lin Wujun. In his memory, the skinny little Wu who had just learned to walk and looked like a monkey had grown up. Zhang Xiaojun quickly came to his senses: "Xiaowu, I am your second brother."

Lin Wujun: "Hello, second brother." Lin Wujun was young, and even though he had heard about Zhang Xiaojun, his dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiaojun was not as deep as that of Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun. After all, he had not experienced what happened at that time, and did not know how important the life-saving lobster was to the Lin family. However, to him, Zhang Xiaojun was just a stranger with blood relationship. He looked at Zhang Xiaojun with no emotion except curiosity, and this curiosity was not about Zhang Kaojun himself, but about those things that happened in the past. Lin Wujun was very well-behaved in front of strangers. He politely called Zhang Xiaojun "Second Brother", which made Zhang Xiaojun feel very good about him. After all, he was different from the fierce appearance of Lin Sijun.

Zhang Xiaojun smiled and said, "I heard that you studied in the military school with your elder sister. Now that you are back, has your elder sister come back too?"

Lin Sijun hurriedly said, "Lin Erjun, what are you trying to do? I warn you, don't set your sights on my eldest sister."

Lin Wujun is back, so there is nothing to hide about Lin Yiyi's return as well.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Sijun, what are you talking about? I just miss my elder sister. And she is my elder sister, what would I do?"

Lin Sijun snorted and stopped believing him.

Zhang Xiaojun then said to Lin Wujun, "Today is the day for food distribution. Xiaowu, come to the Second Army's place to eat tonight."

Wujun: "No, thank you, second brother, I still have friends here." If he went to eat, fourth brother would probably cut off all ties with him.

Zhang Xiaojun just mentioned that since Lin Wujun refused, he didn't say much. Then the distribution of food and money started immediately, and everyone was not interested in chatting anymore. For ordinary people, food is the most important thing. However, Zhang Xiaojun also had a plan in his mind. Since Xiaowu is back, it means that the eldest sister is also back. He wants to take some time to visit the eldest sister. His impression of Lin Yiyi is still the time when he wanted to adopt, but Lin Yiyi threatened to die. So, the eldest sister is honest.

Soon, it was Zhang Xiaojun's turn. Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang both had full work points, plus the money they earned from work points, which made many people envious. However, even so, it was much more than hiring an outside teacher. Hiring an outside teacher would cost about 10 yuan a month, 20 yuan for two people, and more than 100 to 200 yuan a year. However, Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang were educated youth, so they saved on wages. Just the food and money earned from work points were not more than 100 yuan.

Captain Lin: "Xiaojun, according to the original agreement that you lived in Lin Wujun's house, I will withhold the 15 yuan this year.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Hey, I remember, captain, don't worry."

Captain Lin deducted 15 yuan and directly transferred it to Lin Dajun's household registration.

Lin Sijun and Lin Wujun were standing behind Zhang Xiaojun. When it was their turn, Lin Sijun took out 15 yuan and gave it directly to Lin Wujun: "Don't hide the money. Give it to my elder sister later."

Lin Wujun: "I know." He never hid money since he was a child. When he was a child, he gave the money from the eggs and the mission pigs to his eldest sister. His private money is all with his eldest sister.

Lin Sijun nodded with satisfaction. It felt really good to educate his younger brother.

Compared to the food at Zhang Xiaojun's house, the food at Lin Sijun's house was pitifully small. However, he was not in hand. After dividing the food, Lin Sijun said to Zhang Xiaojun: "Second brother, you have so much food, do you want to exchange it with our family?"

Zhang Xingjun: "Change what?"

Lin Sijun: "Exchange for eggs and meat tickets."

Zhang Xiaojun said without hesitation: "Change."

Fang Cao: “How do I change it?”

Lin Sijun: "Our family and other families exchanged 8 catties of coarse grain for one meat ticket, and 10 catties of coarse grain for 10 eggs." One meat ticket was 0.3 yuan, 8 catties of coarse grain was about 0.32 yuan, and 10 eggs were about one catty. The supply and marketing cooperative bought it for 0.4 yuan, and 10 catties of coarse grain was also 0.4 yuan, so the Lin family exchanged things according to the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price, which was quite a bargain for the villagers. If eggs were sold at the selling price, it would be 0.6 yuan, and 10 catties of coarse grain would not be enough. "But my eldest sister-in-law said that if I exchange with you, my second brother, one meat ticket would be 7 catties of coarse grain, and 10 eggs would be 9 catties of coarse grain." Because of this blood relationship, they gave a discount of one catty of coarse grain. The Lin family had no shortage of eggs and meat tickets, but educated youth like Zhang Xiaojun lacked meat and eggs. For the sake of their kinship, it was impossible for them to let Zhang Xiaojun, an educated youth, suffer losses, so it was the local Lin family that had to suffer losses.

Moreover, if this gets out, outsiders will only say that the Lin family is kind. Not to mention that there is only one pound of coarse grain, one pound of coarse grain is also food, and how could they exchange it for only one pound?

Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang started teaching in the next semester. Both of them had about four and a half months of work points. Every month, the two of them had a total of 600 work points, which was equivalent to 60 kilograms of food. In four and a half months, there were 270 kilograms of food. In half a year, 270 kilograms of food was considered a lot.

Moreover, Fang Fang was not used to eating coarse food, so her family often sent her fine food and food coupons. So they did have food. Zhang Xiaojun said: "Then I won't be polite, we..."

Fang Cao: "Xiaojun, change more. I want to change eggs too." Fang Cao also got 10 work points every day. Of course, he didn't do it alone. Sometimes Zhang Xiaojun would help him work after school. Zhang Lijun was just doing it for show and did less work, but Fang Cao was very touched.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Well. Then let's exchange for 60 eggs." Three eggs a day, he, Fang Cao, and Fang Fang all have to eat. Zhang Xiaojun is not the kind of person who would let Fang Cao and Fang Fang eat eggs and not eat them himself, "Then exchange for five more meat tickets, how many kilograms of coarse grain in total?"

Lin Sijun calculated quickly: "60 eggs 6 times 9 equals 54 catties of coarse grain, 5 meat coupons 5 times 7 equals 35 catties of coarse grain, add them up and you get 54 + 35, which equals 89 catties of coarse grain."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Captain, could you please ask the captain to weigh us later?"

Captain Lin: “No problem.”

After they finished the calculation, someone said, "Fourth Army, we need to exchange two meat coupons for eggs this year."

"Sijun, our family wants five, and we will also exchange them for eggs."

"Fourth Army, our family wants one, and we will exchange it for coarse grain."

Some families were hardworking and had plenty of food, so they exchanged it with food. Some families did not even have enough food for themselves, so they exchanged it with eggs, because they were reluctant to eat eggs and had to give them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them, so it was better to exchange them with Lin Dajun's family. However, the Lin family was also bought by the supply and marketing cooperatives.

In fact, the Shanglin Production Brigade is the one that eats the most meat in the neighborhood. Because the Lin family has meat coupons, they also exchange them for everyone at a cheap price, so everyone is willing to exchange them. Occasionally, 8 eggs are exchanged for a meat coupon, and then they go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of meat, just to satisfy their appetite. Some families in the neighboring brigades will also come to the Lin family to exchange meat if they need meat for something.

Lin Sijun: "Okay, OK. When the mission pigs are handed in, I will leave some meat tickets for everyone." Lin Sijun responded happily, because that was all money.

Zhang Xiaojun was surprised when he saw this scene. He had always heard that the Lin family was well-off, and he could tell by looking at the house. But it was not until the food distribution that he heard so many people wanting to exchange things that he really understood what it meant to be well-off. He couldn't help but think, if he hadn't been adopted, then... No, no, no, even if the Lin family was well-off, so what? They were still a country family. He didn't want to be a country person. After seeing the good things in the city, who would still want to be a country person?

After the brigade's rations were distributed, Captain Lin weighed out 89 kilograms of coarse grain for Zhang Xiaojun. Lin Sijun said, "I'll bring you 60 eggs later. You'll get the 5 meat coupons in a few days when the pigs are delivered."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Okay." Everyone knows that meat tickets are only available after the pigs have completed their missions. After all, the meat tickets for the first half of the year must have been gone by now. Zhang Xiaojun exchanged things with Lin Sijun, and he and Fang Cao carried the food back. Because there was a lot of food, they carried it several times, and asked Fang Fang to watch over it.

Lin Sijun didn't have much food, so the 89 kilograms of coarse grain he got from Zhang Xiaojun seemed to be a little more, but he carried it twice himself, and once Captain Lin asked his son to help carry it.

After carrying the grain home, Lin Sijun took out 60 eggs and gave them to Zhang Xiaojun. But after thinking about it, he pulled another cabbage from the field. The eldest sister-in-law said that if Zhang Xiaojun exchanged things with their family, he could be a little more generous. Their family had three yards with three plots of land, plus the backyard. Although the backyard was small, with only about one meter of land left, it was still possible to grow vegetables.

Therefore, the Lin family also had vegetables to eat. While they had food to eat, they could take care of Zhang Xiaojun a little, which would be beneficial to their reputation.

Lin Sijun also didn't like to eat eggs. Their family had six chickens, which laid five or six eggs a day. He felt sick at the sight of eggs. Only his eldest sister-in-law could eat one egg a day. Lin Sijun felt that his eldest sister-in-law was quite pitiful. Before she married into their family, she didn't even have eggs to eat.

Lin Sijun carried the basket to the Lin family's old house: "Second brother..."

Zhang Xiaojun came out: "So fast!"

Lin Sijun: "Bring it here soon so you don't have to wait anxiously. 60 eggs, count them, and there's also this cabbage."

Zhang Xiaojun: "No need to count." He was not so fussy, "The cabbage is so big, thank you, Fourth Army." He was surprised to be given cabbage. They also planted things in their private plots, but each person had one mu of land, so the things they could plant were limited.

Lin Sijun: "You're welcome. You have to give me the basket."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Okay."

When Zhang Xiaojun took out the eggs, Lin Sijun took the basket and said, "I'll bring you the meat coupons in a few days."

Zhang Xiaojun: "No rush."

Lin Sijun left with the basket, and Fang Cao and Fang Fang came out. Fang Fang took Zhang Xiaojun's hand and said, "Xiaojun, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Zhang Xiaojun: "Let's have some egg custard and some stir-fried cabbage tonight, and I'll steam a bowl of white rice for you." He and Fang Cao ate coarse grains. Although Fang Cao also had grain coupons, the fine grains were all given to Fang Fang.

Fang Fang: "I haven't eaten eggs for several days."

When Lin Sijun returned home, he immediately asked Lin Wujun to pack things together, then he carried whole grains, eggs and vegetables on his back and went to Shangtang Production Brigade, mainly to deliver some whole grains and eggs to Lin Yiyi's family, and then... have dinner.

Lin Yiyi was cooking dinner at the moment. She stewed soybean and pork ribs soup for two hours. The soybeans were soft and tasted a little saltier than usual. She planned to make soybean jelly. The jelly should be saltier to last longer. And after it was made, it was not so salty when eaten. Lin Yiyi stewed a whole pot. After the soybeans were soft, she scooped out the soup and put it in a clean iron basin. It was left overnight. By the next day, it began to freeze. But she didn't scoop out all the soup. She added a little hot water to the rest to make the taste lighter and drink the soup at night.

Lin Sijun: "Sister, we are here."

Lin Yiyi heard Lin Sijun's voice and was speechless as it was almost time for dinner.

Lin Sijun entered the kitchen and said, "Sister, our brigade distributed food and money today. Our family has little food, but Zhang Xiaojun's family has a lot of food. I used eggs and meat coupons to exchange food with Zhang Xiaojun. My sister-in-law said that we should exchange with them when they have food, so that they won't come to our house to beg for it."

Lin Yiyi: "What your sister-in-law said makes sense."

Lin Sijun: "There are also vegetables and eggs. I put them here. Big sister, what are you doing?"

Lin Yiyi: "Soybean and pork rib soup, bring some back when you go home tonight, you can drink it tomorrow." Lin Sijun must go back tonight. There are three pigs and six chickens at home. Even though the Lin family's yard is high, it's still not safe if he doesn't go. Now is the New Year, and some families may want some money for the New Year. Who can guarantee that others will not turn their attention to the Lin family. "

Lin Sijun: "Hey, sister, I'll come to dinner tomorrow night."

After dinner, Lin Sijun took Lin Wujun and Li Wanda away, and took away a big bowl of soybean and pork ribs soup.

the next day

“Is anyone there?”

Early in the morning, Lin Yiyi and her son were drinking Tremella and Red Dates porridge when they heard the sound. Tremella and Red Dates porridge was naturally bought from the system mall. When they were alone, Lin Yiyi often bought breakfast from the system mall. Little Eleven at this age doesn't understand anything. In other words, even if he is as old as Lin Wujun, he won't understand. He will definitely think that the Tremella and Red Dates porridge was cooked by his sister herself. After all, Lin Yiyi would not let the children go into the kitchen to light the fire. They only come to eat at mealtime, so people who don't go into the kitchen will not doubt the origin of these things. But Lin Yiyi only slacked off in the morning, that is, when Xiao Yu was not around. When Xiao Yu was around, she would do it herself because she was exhausted.

The voices outside sounded strange. Lin Yiyi asked her son to eat and went out: "Yes, what can I do for you?" When she saw the person at the gate of the yard, she was stunned for a while. As others think, Zhang Xiaojun and Lin Dajun are indeed very different, whether in body shape or appearance. If you only look at the face, they are only 50% similar, but because one is strong and the other is thin, people generally look at body shape, so at first glance you can't tell that Zhang Xiaojun and Lin Dajun are twins.

However, Lin Yiyi was different. She knew that Zhang Xiaojun had been sent to the countryside as an educated youth, so when she saw someone who looked like Lin Dajun, she immediately thought it was Zhang Xiaojun. Even so, she still pretended to be hesitant and asked, "Erjun?"

Since Zhang Xiaojun went to the countryside, Lin Yiyi was the first person who called out his name the first time they met, which made him feel a little strange: "Big sister, I am Erjun." Looking at this big sister, she is very different from her previous thin appearance, but she is white, which has not changed. It's just that the big sister who used to be a country girl has now become like an intellectual and literary young man in the city, a big wife.

Lin Yiyi said enthusiastically: "So it really is Erjun. It's been so many years. I was really afraid of making a mistake. I saw that you have grown taller,

I'm so happy that you've grown up. I was afraid that the Zhang family would treat you badly after you were adopted, but now it seems that the Zhang family treats you very well, otherwise they wouldn't have let you go to high school. I feel relieved that the Zhang family treats you well."

Zhang Xiaojun: “…” Even if he wanted to say that the Zhang family treated him badly, he couldn’t do it now, because his sister stopped him from saying anything.

Lin Yiyi continued: "This is the true sign that your wife is the head of the bar. You can tell at first glance that she is a good girl."

Fang Fang: "Hello, big sister." This big sister was different from what she had imagined. She originally thought she was a country girl, but she looked more like a city girl than she did. Her skin was whiter than hers, she looked prettier than hers, and her clothes were prettier than hers. Her self-confidence was shattered. People are like this. When they see someone who is weaker than themselves, they will look down on them, and when they see someone who is better than themselves, they will subconsciously feel inferior. If Fang Fang saw Lin Daya today, she would definitely look at her like she was trash.

Lin Yiyi: "Hey, come and sit down, I'll pour you some sugar water." Then, Lin Yiyi took them to sit down in the lobby. There were sofa chairs in the lobby, which were very comfortable to sit on. "Come and sit down, I'll go get some water. By the way, have you had breakfast?"

Zhang Xiaojun: "We ate it. Big sister, take these eggs and some rent grain. We don't have anything good, so we just gave them to you." Indeed, they didn't have anything good. The coarse grain was distributed yesterday, and the eggs were exchanged with Lin Sijun. Of course, they had money and could go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it, but they didn't think about buying good things for Lin Yiyi at all. The eggs were just a convenience. If it was all coarse grain, it wouldn't look good, and they had a lot of coarse grain, so they just gave it like this.

Lin Yiyi said happily: "Erjun, you are so thoughtful. I am very happy that you can come to see me. Why would I want your things? Please sit down. I will go get some water."

Zhang Xiaojun: “Hey.”

Lin Yiyi made them some brown sugar water, and then went to the room to get some candies and biscuits: "Eat them, don't be polite."

Fang Fang drank a mouthful of brown sugar water and felt warm. In this cold winter, after rushing for half an hour, drinking a cup of brown sugar water was indeed refreshing. "Thank you, sister."

Lin Yiyi: "Don't be polite, treat this place as your own home. Although our Erjun has been adopted, he is still my brother after all, and he can leave as a relative, so don't be polite here."

Zhang Xiaojun felt very complicated when he heard Lin Yiyi say that he was adopted and that he was still her younger brother.

Lin Yiyi: "Erjun, you and your wife sit for a while. I still have a few mouthfuls of breakfast to eat. Please wait a moment."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Hey, sister, go eat first."

Lin Yiyi returned to the kitchen and continued eating.

Fang Fang and Zhang Xiaojun sat in the living room, looking around the house. The structure was the same as Lin Dajun's house, but the furniture was a little different. The furniture here was a little more special. For example, the sofa chairs and coffee tables were not there in Lin Dajun's house. Lin Dajun's house only had ordinary stools and tables.

Fang Fang took a small cookie. It was a milk-flavored cookie. It was small and round, the same size as a beer cap. But the milk flavor was really fragrant. Lin Yiyi bought it in the system mall. Fang Fang: "This one is delicious."

Zhang Xiaojun also ate a piece.

Fang Fang said softly, "Xiaojun, eldest sister's family seems pretty good." They were not fools. Looking at everything in the house and then looking at Lin Yiyi's clothes, they knew that this was not a poor family.

Zhang Xiaojun heard her say this and said with a half-proud smile. "My brother-in-law is a senior officer in the army." He didn't know what rank he was, but it was enough to make him proud. To be honest, he was not the biological son of the Zhang family, but an adopted son. This made the elders of the Fang family a little dissatisfied. In the eyes of the elders of the Fang family, he was also a farmer, but because he was good to Fang Fang and took care of Fang Cao, and Fang Fang was not young anymore, the elders of the Fang family agreed to their marriage. However, Zhang Xiaojun had a brother-in-law who was a senior officer in the army, which would change the Fang family's view. So Zhang Xiaojun said this to Fang Fang.

Fang Fang: "Very impressive." In this day and age, people have a natural respect for soldiers, especially high-ranking officers.

Xiao Shiyi only had half a bowl of Tremella fuciformis porridge, and he ate faster than Lin Yiyi. When Lin Yiyi returned to the kitchen, he had already finished. And when the child heard the noise outside, he couldn't help but be curious. Xiao Shiyi stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang. Because he didn't know them, his eyes were direct and pure.

Zhang Xiaojun knew the general situation of Lin Yiyi's house before he came, and now he saw the little boy at the door. Knowing his identity, he smiled and asked: "Is it Eleven?"

Xiao Shiyi nodded: "Yes." He was wearing a black low-necked sweater and a military green cotton vest today. He had just had breakfast, so he had a lunch bag tied around his neck. He looked very cute. "Who are you?"

Zhang Xiaojun looked at his chubby appearance and said with some interest: "Guess."

The author has something to say: New article for collection: "I became the heroine's educated youth best friend [1970s]"

Copywriting: Lin Yuyu, a plant-based supernatural being in the apocalypse, traveled through time and space and became an educated youth who went to the countryside. This educated youth was also the best friend of the heroine. As the best friend of the heroine, in the original plot, the original owner was considered to have enjoyed a good life with the heroine. At least he survived the turbulent times safely and married a kind and honest man. However, Lin Yuyu, who traveled through time and space, did not want to follow this path.

She didn't want to be like the original owner, serving the mistress like a farmhand and doing laundry for her.

Small theater

When Lin Yuyu was washing clothes for the heroine, he fell into the water. After being rescued, he said to the heroine in a self-reproachful manner: "I'm sorry, Lin Yan, it's my fault. I got sick while washing your clothes and fell into the water, so I haven't finished washing your clothes yet."

Everyone: What's wrong with Lin Yan? Doesn't she have hands? And she wants Lin Yuyu to help her wash clothes.

Lin Yan: Damn, this bastard is the real White Lotus.
