Lin Sijun had just gotten up and was still washing up when Lin Wujun and Li Wanda came back. Li Wanda was particularly excited to go to someone's house to pay New Year's greetings with Lin Wujun for the first time. Having lived here for more than half a month, Li Wanda has relaxed a lot because of the sense of security brought by the unfamiliar environment, which is much better than when he was in the army.
Lin Wujun ran to Lin Sijun's house and said, "Sister, you guys are here. Where's Xiaoyi?"
Xiao Shiyi: “It’s here.”
Lin Wujun ran into Lin Sijun's room again, and Xiao Shiyi stuck his head out from under the quilt.
Lin Wujun: "Let's go and have fun. Do you want to go?"
Little Eleven immediately crawled out of the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed and curled up his little feet. Lin Wujun skillfully put on warm shoes for him. His warm shoes were the same as Lin Wujun's, with cotton inside, and were very warm.
Then, Lin Wujun ran away with Xiao Shiyi, followed by Li Wanda.
Lin Yiyi followed him out and said to Lin Sijun, "Get up quickly and don't dawdle."
Lin Sijun: “I’m coming.”
Lin Dajun's family was also busy because Zhang Xiaojun and his wife also came. What's more rare is that they didn't come empty-handed. They came with a basket, in which there were two bags of one-pound Fuqiang flour and a bag of brown sugar. The Fuqiang flour was sent to Fang Fang by the Fang family, and the brown sugar was bought by them at the supply and marketing cooperative. In fact, Zhang Xiaojun and Fang Fang were very rich. Zhang Xiaojun's wealth came from the money he saved with great effort, and when he was tricked into signing up for the rural program, the Zhang couple subsidized him. They thought that it was a bit excessive for another adopted son to pretend to be Zhang Xiaojun and sign up for Zhang Xiaojun to go to the countryside, so they subsidized Zhang Xiaojun a little, but they didn't know that Zhang Lijun took the money and tickets and signed up another adopted son for the rural program. By doing this, Zhang Xiaojun had already given up on supporting his parents in his heart. He knew that if he did this, his parents would definitely hate him. After all, if both sons went to the countryside, wouldn't they have raised their sons in vain?
But Zhang Xiaojun was not convinced. Why did he go to the countryside while the other one enjoyed a good life in the city? If he did not get rid of the other one, the adopted son would definitely inherit the Zhang family's things. Since he could not get it, the other one would not be able to get it either.
Of course, although Zhang Xingjun had already made up his mind, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that his adoptive parents would not give up on him and would use their connections to bring him back to the city. So he never stopped writing to his adoptive parents. Unfortunately, after six months in the countryside, he never received a reply from them.
Zhang Xiaojun: "Brother-in-law, you guys are here so early." Zhang Xiaojun was startled when he saw Xiao Yu sitting in the yard, but he still greeted him with a stiff smile. There was nothing he could do. He was afraid of Xiao Yu when he was a child, and this fear did not change because he grew up. He grew up, but Xiao Yu's dominance became stronger.
Fang Fang looked at the handsome man in front of her in surprise, and then called out softly, "Brother-in-law."
Fang Fang likes gentle men, like Zhang Xiaojun. Or, many girls in the city like this type, a little thin, wearing glasses, pale skin, and look very knowledgeable. Fang Fang usually sees such people, in school, in vocational colleges, but it is the first time she sees a type like Xiao Yu, which makes her feel creepy, as if she has seen the dean of teaching.
Xiao Yu nodded: "Your eldest sister is at the Sijun family next door."
Fang Fang hurriedly said, "Then I'll go find my elder sister."
Zhang Xiaojun also wanted to leave, but he knew it was not a good idea, so he stood next to Xiao Yu bravely and asked, "How many days of vacation does my brother-in-law's army have?"
Xiao Yu: "Three days, we'll leave on the morning of the third day after tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaojun: "Are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Yu: "This is not a holiday, it's just a three-day break. So only people like me who live close to home will come back to celebrate the New Year, and everyone else will stay in the army."
Zhang Xiaojun: "That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have enough time to travel back and forth."
Xiao Yu looked at him several times and could see his nervousness: "What about you? Why do you want to go to the countryside? Logically, you can find a job after graduating from high school to avoid going to the countryside." In fact, he already knew the various reasons because he had investigated. However, his ability to pretend not to know was also very high, worthy of being an outstanding comrade of the People's Liberation Army.
Zhang Xiaojun: "The state stipulated that educated youth should go to the countryside to engage in rural construction. I missed this place, my elder sister and brothers, so I came here. Because if I sign up myself, I can choose where to go to the countryside."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows. He was quite good at making up excuses.
Zhang Xiaojun's heart was pounding. He always felt that he was lying in front of Xiao Yu, which made him extremely nervous, as if he had been seen through by the other party.
The scene was a bit awkward. Lin Dajun sat on the side listening to their conversation. In fact, he didn't dare to chat with Xiao Yu, so he looked at Zhang Xiaojun a few more times for daring to chat with Xiao Yu.
"Why are you all sitting here?" Lin Yiyi came over, followed by Fang Fang. Fang Fang couldn't help but look at Lin Yiyi. She felt itchy inside. She always liked her elder sister's outfit. Black and military green were both very common colors, but they always looked good on her.
Fang Fang didn't know that clothes have styles as well as colors.
Zhang Xiaojun: "Big sister."
Lin Yiyi: "Today everyone is at Dajun's house to pay New Year's greetings. Come to our house tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. We will have guests at noon tomorrow. We will cook dinner tomorrow night. Everyone come to our house for dinner tomorrow night." Because the two brigades are close, it is safe to come back after dinner. It's just like taking a walk after dinner. Plus, there are so many people. "Erjun, Fangfang, you come too. Bring Fangfang's elder brother Xiaofang with you."
Zhang Xiaojun: "Okay."
Lin Sijun: "I will stay at my eldest sister's house after dinner tomorrow and will not be back."
Lin Yiyi: "That's fine. Anyway, the piglets haven't been brought here yet and you have nothing to do."
Lin Dajun: "We are going to my mother-in-law's house for lunch tomorrow. Come over after lunch."
Lin Yiyi: "Xiaozhen, can you walk tomorrow with this belly?"
Lin Zhen: "I can walk. My stomach is fine."
"Oh, the guests are here." The captain's wife walked into the yard and said enthusiastically. She came to help her daughter cook, because her daughter was pregnant and it was inconvenient. Lin Dajun was a man and didn't understand this. If she didn't come, she couldn't ask Lin Yiyi, a guest, to help, right? A married daughter is a guest when she returns to her parents' home. How can she be asked to work?
Lin Yiyi was very happy that the captain's wife came to help. The reason why she recommended this wife to Lin Dajun was not because of Lin Zhen, but because Captain Lin's family was a fair and easy-going family, and they were all reasonable. In addition, they were leaders in the village, so Lin Dajun would have someone to rely on. Lin's parents had passed away, and the younger brothers in the family were still young. In Lin Yiyi's eyes, boys who were not even 20 years old were really young boys, so they needed guidance from their elders on weekdays, and the captain's wife was the best.
So, even if Lin Dajun was close to the Yue family, she would not say anything.
The captain's wife cooked lunch, Lin Zhen and Lin Dajun helped, and Lin Yiyi didn't even go into the kitchen. She didn't want to help in the kitchen when she was visiting her parents' home.
After dinner, everyone stayed at Lin Dajun’s house for a while and then went home.
Lin Sijun: "Sister, let's go back with you in the afternoon. We will take care of lunch tomorrow by ourselves." He missed the food and soda at his sister's house.
Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”
Lin Sijun: "Xiaowu, Wanda, go pack your things, we are leaving."
When we came, we were a family of three, and when we left, we were a family of six.
Although Lin Yiyi's house has three houses, one master bedroom, one guest room, and one is a study room. In the study room are Lin Yiyi's junior high school and high school books, as well as the books Xiao Yu has read since childhood. Lin Sijun came today and had to sleep in the study. There was also a guest room rented by Lin Wujun, the head of the house. Now Li Wanda and Lin Wujun shared a room.
As a result, Lin Sijun refused to sleep in the study room and insisted on sleeping on the floor in the guest room so that he could chat with his brothers at night. Lin Yiyi had no choice but to put an extra quilt on him to prevent the floor from being too cold.
Including Xiao Eleven, there were six people in the family in the evening. Lin Yiyi was too lazy to cook because she had to cook a large table tomorrow night, so everyone had rice cake soup tonight, sauerkraut, shredded pork, egg, and tofu rice cake soup. There is also another name for it in modern times, called Shengzhou rice cake soup, and it tastes amazing.
Lin Sijun: "This is delicious, this rice cake is delicious." Those who eat rice cake for the first time especially like the sticky taste.
Lin Yiyi: "This is made with glutinous rice. It's a waste of glutinous rice."
Lin Sijun: “But it’s delicious.”
Lin Yiyi: "Then you can bring some back. You can make it yourself when you want to eat it. Pour a little oil into the pot to heat it up, then add the vegetables and stir-fry, then put in the rice cakes and water. When the rice cakes are cooked and the water is boiled, you can eat it."
Lin Sijun: "Okay, when my sister-in-law gives birth, I'll be alone at home, and I'll make this when I cook."
the next day
"Second brother...Second sister-in-law..." Xiao Ling's family arrived very early. Speaking of which, Xiao Ling has changed a lot since she started working in the commune canteen. Xiao Ling used to have a straightforward personality, but how should I put it? She looked like a rural woman. But now that she has become a worker, and in the commune, she has become more confident, more imposing, and more tactful.
But... the canteen job is good for making money, that's right. Lin Yiyi hadn't seen Xiao Ling for more than a year, and was shocked when she saw her now. "Xiao Ling... has she gained too much weight?" Her horizontal growth is too amazing. Xiao Ling is tall, about 165cm, but also 140kg. She looks plump, with a particularly big belly. If you don't know, you might think she's pregnant.
Xiao Ling laughed: "It's incredible, but I can't lose weight." However, when she went out, people said she was blessed.
