It was just afternoon when Fang Fang and Zhang Xiaojun left Lin Yiyi's house. The warm sun shone in the winter afternoon, which was very comfortable. Zhang Xiaojun was carrying a basket. In the basket were roasted radishes and soybean jelly given by Lin Yiyi. Fang Fang was chattering on the side, but all the way down, she was praising Lin Yiyi: "Sister is so beautiful, and her skin is so good."

Zhang Xiaojun was also happy when he heard Fang Fang's praise for Lin Yiyi. Although Zhang Xiaojun was adopted by the Zhang family and considered himself a city dweller, he still had some inferiority complex in his bones. At this moment, Fang Fang's praise for Lin Yiyi made him feel very proud. Fang Fang: "By the way, the dishes cooked by the eldest sister are really delicious. They look like ordinary radishes, and there is no meat, but the taste is really good." The roasted radishes with soy sauce and sugar are indeed delicious, sweet, and the radishes are roasted soft, but the premise of deliciousness is that there must be enough oil, soy sauce and sugar. How can people in this era be willing to pour so much oil?"

Zhang Xiaojun: "Yeah, it's delicious." He remembered that in the 1960s, his eldest sister didn't know how to cook.

Fang Fang: "Look at my scarf. It must be very expensive. My elder sister said that she asked someone to bring it from S City. That's a big S City."

Zhang Xiaojun couldn't help but touch his scarf: "Well, big sister has always been so good."

The two returned home and saw Fang Cao walking back and forth at the door. Seeing them coming back, Fang Cao hurriedly asked Fang Fang: "How is it? You didn't do anything to make others hate you, did you?" After all, they are siblings, and he still knows his sister's character, who is a little willful.

Fang Fang pushed Fang Cao away in dissatisfaction: "Brother, you don't trust me. Look at this... This is given to me by my eldest sister." Fang Fang pointed to her neck, "Xiaojun and I each have one. My eldest sister said that this is a wedding gift for us. Let me tell you, my eldest sister is so beautiful..."

Fang Cao was stunned. Is this her sister? You know, her sister never exaggerates.

Zhang Xiaojun: "My sister brought us some food, so we will have something delicious tonight."

As soon as Zhang Xiaojun mentioned food, Fang Cao was attracted. "What delicious food?" In this place, there is nothing else attractive except food.

Zhang Xiaojun took it out and showed it to him.

Fang Fang: "The dishes that elder sister cooks are so delicious. They taste so good that I can eat two bowls of rice."

Lin Yiyi naturally didn't know that Fang Fang was flattering her, but Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang had never come since that day, which surprised Lin Yiyi a little. She was still waiting for Zhang Xiaojun to fetch water for her. It's not that Zhang Xiaojun didn't want to come. Lin Yiyi's food was delicious, so he wanted to come, but he didn't think he was a poor relative who was begging for money, so he was embarrassed to come. In general, Zhang Xiaojun still valued his face.

That day, Lin Yiyi got up in the morning and brought Xiaoyi to the Shanglin Production Team because the Lin family had to hand in the task pig. Lin Yiyi bought another women's bicycle in the system mall because it was inconvenient without a women's bicycle.

I still remember that in 1963, because the Lin family's mission pigs were particularly fat, the Lin family asked someone to carry the mission pigs to the commune. At that time, the commune didn't know that the Lin family had mission pigs to hand in, because the commune collected the mission pigs at the end of the year. So now the mission pigs at the end of the year are collected by the commune people.

When Lin Yiyi brought Xiao Shiyi to the house, the people from the commune had not yet arrived at the Lin family. In addition to Lin Sijun, the head of the Lin family, Zhang Xiaojun, Fang Fang, and Fang Cao also came to help. Of course, they came to help in a nice way, but in fact they came to watch the excitement.

Lin Sijun: "Sister, you're here. Little Eleven, let your fourth uncle hold you." As he said that, he picked up Little Eleven from the bicycle.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Big sister."

Fang Fang: "My elder sister is here."

Fang Cao was a little surprised when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him. He had always heard Fang Fang praise this elder sister-in-law before, but he didn't really believe what Fang Fang said, but now that he saw it, he really believed it. The woman was wearing black light velvet and a short light gray cotton jacket. Under the cotton jacket was an old-age sweater of the same color. Her dark hair was shoulder-length. She had her hair tied up halfway and tied a black hairband on her hair. With her bangs, she looked very literary. The woman was not tall, and because she was wearing cloth shoes, her height was almost naked. But even so, because of her well-proportioned figure and longer lower body, she looked much taller than people of the same height. This was a woman who was different from the people in the countryside, no, even the people in the city.

Lin Yiyi: "Xiaojun and his wife are here too. Are they waiting for the commune to come and collect the pigs?"

Lin Sijun: "That's right. Others are weighing now, and it's not our turn yet. This time, there are about 100 kilograms of meat coupons, but 50 kilograms of meat coupons have already been sold. Many of them were exchanged for eggs, and I have already taken the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative." The things exchanged for 50 kilograms of meat coupons have already been exchanged for 15 yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and asked, "We'll weigh the pigs later. It'll be cold in the middle of winter. Is the hot water at home hot?"

Lin Sijun: "I'll go and burn it now."

Lin Yiyi: "Do you have any sugar at home?"

Lin Sijun: “Yes.”

Lin Yiyi: "We have raised pigs well. We will give each person who comes to help a cup of sugar water later to thank everyone." Some people envy and hate such fat pigs, but in winter, giving a cup of sugar water to people who come to help always makes everyone feel a little more balanced.

Lin Sijun: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi: "What dishes are there at home? We will have lunch at Dajun's house at noon. Erjun and his wife will also stay. By the way, who is this?" She pointed at Fang Cao and asked.

Fang Fang hurriedly said, "Sister, this is my brother, his name is Fang Cao."

Fang Cao: "Hello, big sister." Zhang Xiaojun was older than him, so it was no problem for him to follow Zhang Xiaojun and call her big sister.

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "Then I will be generous enough to call you Xiao Fang. Thank you for promising such a good girl like Fang Fang to Erjun. If Erjun treats Fang Fang badly, you must tell me."

Fang Cao: "No, no, no, Xiaojun is very good. After we went to the countryside, he has always taken good care of us. He was also the team leader of our educated youth. But in order to take care of everyone, he distributed the five kilograms of food reward for the team leader to the educated youth."

Lin Yiyi said: "Then I'm relieved. Xiaofang can stay for lunch with us."

Fang Cao: "No, no, no, I'll just go back and eat."

Lin Yiyi: "Don't be so polite. You are Fang Fang's family, and I am Erjun's family. We don't have parents at home, and your parents are not around either. So today let's just treat it as the parents of both sides sitting together and having a meal." She had a good impression of this Fang Cao.

When Fang Cao heard this, he did not continue to refuse: "Then I won't be polite." Mainly because Lin Yiyi's words were very pleasing to the ear.

Lin Yiyi: "I'll go see what dishes are available."

Fang Fang: "Sister, I'll come and accompany you." Fang Fang is a simple and willful girl, but she is not a fool. Maybe if you force her to work with you, she will definitely not listen. But if someone like Lin Yiyi doesn't ask her to work, she will rush to help. It's mainly because of the relationship between people.

Lin Yiyi picked a cabbage in the field and saw that there was cauliflower in the backyard. However, the cauliflower was not in season yet and was a little small. It would take another month. But although it was small, it was enough to stir-fry a dish, so Lin Yiyi picked one and then picked radishes. There were only a few kinds of vegetables in the countryside, and then Fang Fang and Di went to wash the vegetables together.

By the time they came back from washing the vegetables, people from the commune had already come to weigh the pigs, and Lin Sijun also invited everyone to drink sugar water.

After the pigs were weighed, the people in the commune gave the meat coupons to Lin Sijun on the spot. Lin Sijun took out his registration book and distributed the meat coupons he owed to everyone. In fact, when the commune personnel came to the Lin family to weigh the pigs, many people gathered inside and outside the Lin family, all of whom came to watch the excitement and collect the meat coupons. After Lin Sijun distributed the meat coupons, Lin Yiyi said to him: "Today the commune is collecting pigs, and they must be slaughtering pigs. Ride your bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there is any pork. If there is, buy a few pounds and bring it over."

Lin Sijun: “Hey.”

In fact, the commune slaughtered pigs every day a month before the Chinese New Year, so the supply and marketing cooperative had pork every day. Lin Sijun went there and came back, which took about an hour and a half. It was mainly because he spent some time buying meat. When he came back, the meals at home were ready, except for the meat.

As soon as Lin Sijun's meat arrived, Lin Yiyi cut it into small pieces and made braised pork. Because she was in a good mood today and there were several people, she made two plates of braised pork, which was enough for everyone to have a good meal.

Even Zhang Xiaojun, Fang Fang and Fang Cao, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, almost drooled. At this moment, Fang Cao once again believed Fang Fang's words that this elder sister's cooking skills were also very good.

After lunch, Cai Yiyi went to Captain Lin's house to sit for a while. When it was almost two o'clock, she left with her children. Before leaving, she asked Lin Sijun for 20 kilograms of meat tickets and gave him 6 yuan. At the same time, she also invited Zhang Xiaojun, telling him that on the 28th of the lunar calendar, the Datang Production Brigade would catch fish and asked him to come over.

Zhang Xiaojun was delighted when he heard this.

When they returned to Datang Production Brigade, several neighbors came over. They knew the reason why Lin Yiyi went back to her parents' home today, so they asked Lin Yiyi to bring a few pounds of meat tickets in advance. There must be some minced meat on the table during the New Year. Even if they had mission pigs at home, their mission pigs were not as fat as Lin's. They could only exchange one or two pounds of pork for a mission pig, and three or four pounds for a better one. But meat tickets would not be out of date for the time being, so there would be no problem in preparing them.

Not long after Lin Yiyi returned home, her 10 kilograms of meat coupons were gone. The items she exchanged for were more complicated, including eggs, rice, soybeans, mung beans and the like. She would exchange them all, doing a good deed that day.

Lin Yiyi did not exchange the remaining 10 kilograms and kept them for use at home.
