Seeing that Lin Yiyi ignored Zhang Nian, Jiang was a little surprised. Although Jiang and Zhang Nian were not very familiar with each other, the family compound was not very big after all. After a long time, everyone would get to know each other, even if they met while taking a walk, or acquaintances brought acquaintances to chat together. In this way, after a long time, they would get to know each other.

In Jiang's eyes, Lin Yiyi was a polite person, very sensible, and a person who knew how to behave. So she didn't understand why she ignored Zhang Nian's greetings. However, she didn't ask directly.

Instead, the military wife who was with Zhang Nian said, "This is Comrade Lin Yiyi, from Captain Xiao's home. Comrade Lin, I heard that you returned home. Did you just come back?"

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "I'm back. My kids are going to school, so I came back. Sister-in-law, are you going to the village?"

Military wife: "Yes, I'm going to change things, are you too?"

Lin Yiyi said: "Yes, let's go get something. The kelp we ate before was very fresh and delicious when put into soup. I wonder if there is any more."

Zhang Nian saw that Lin Yiyi was chatting with others and didn't mention anything about herself. She felt embarrassed to lose face, but she could only bear it. She couldn't ask why she ignored her, right? She was not a brainless person.

Everyone was chatting along the way, but every time Zhang Nian interrupted, Lin Yiyi stopped talking. After two or three times, Zhang Nian stopped talking. Everyone could see Lin Yiyi's attitude towards Zhang Nian, so the atmosphere was a bit awkward along the way.

However, even though the atmosphere was awkward, Lin Yiyi didn't care. She was pushing the bicycle with her son sitting in the back. Even if others didn't say anything, Xiao Shiyi could chatter for a long time by himself.

There is no lesbian who doesn't like children, especially cute ones. Little Eleven is fair-skinned and cute, like a little golden boy, and he speaks smartly, so the originally awkward atmosphere began to change, and everyone gathered around him and started talking.

As they were talking, they arrived at the village. After many years, they were used to exchanging things, so they went to the houses where they often exchanged things. Lin Yiyi exchanged kelp, dried fish, dried shrimp, and fresh fish and shrimp. Then she took out brown sugar, white sugar, ceramic cups, cloth, soap, and oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. This was a barter.

Because her things were the most needed by everyone, she exchanged them the fastest. Xu knew that she exchanged these things, and she had also exchanged these things with Lin Yiyi in private, just because Lin Yiyi's family lived nearby and it was convenient for her to buy these things.

However, some military wives knew that Lin Yiyi had these things, so they returned to the army and came to exchange them with Lin Yiyi.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was September 1970.

On this day, Lin Wujun and Xiao Jixiang went to school, one in the fifth grade and the other in the first grade. Lin Yiyi was picking vegetables at home when she heard a voice at the door: "Is sister-in-law here?" It was a soldier on guard duty.

Lin Yiyi: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Soldier: "Your phone number."

Lin Yiyi: "My phone number?" She asked while walking quickly, "Where are you calling from?"

Soldier: "A man called Lin Dajun." Lin Yiyi thought about it, but still couldn't figure out why Dajun called him. At the end of June 1967, Dajun graduated from high school and became a regular worker at the pig farm. He chose to continue working at the pig farm, so Xiao Daqiang continued to work as the gatekeeper of the commune. For him, this position was good. Watching the gate was not tiring, and he could read.

Xiao Bin was also transferred to a regular worker along with Lin Dajun. Xiao Bin worked very hard in the past few years, so the pig farm also gave him a job. The third room had Xiao Bin as a regular worker, and they also thanked Lin Yiyi. If Lin Sanjun had not given them the job, they would not have had this opportunity.

Zhang Xiaojun still continues to be a teacher in the elementary school, but Fang Fang has resigned because she gave birth to a son last year. However, even if she has resigned, her life will not be bad as she has financial support from her parents.

Lin Zhen gave birth to another daughter in May this year and named her Wuyi, which means she was born on May 1st.

Lin Sijun is still a bachelor, but he will be a sophomore in high school in September this year, and of course he is not young anymore, he is 20 years old.

When she got to the security guard, Lin Yiyi answered the phone: "Hello?"

Lin Dajun: "Big sister, is it Big sister?"

Lin Yiyi: "It's me, what's wrong?" She heard Lin Dajun's voice sound a little anxious.

Lin Dajun was more than anxious, he almost cried: "Big sister, it's Sanjun, Sanjun is in trouble." To be honest, this third brother went to the army, and Lin Dajun didn't think much about him. Men are not sentimental animals. But when he received a call from the army saying that Lin Sanjun was in trouble, Lin Dajun's eyes were red at that moment. This year, he is a 23-year-old man, and it was the first time that his eyes were red.

When Lin Yiyi heard this, her heart was gripped: "What happened to Sanjun? Please explain it in detail."

Lin Dajun said, "I don't know the details. I received a call from the army today saying that Sanjun was injured during the mission. Maybe...his leg may never heal." When Lin Sanjun went on a mission, he would have a data sheet with important contacts and contact information. Lin Dajun's pig farm had a telephone installed, so Lin Sanjun's important contact was Lin Dajun, and his phone number was also on it. As soon as Lin Sanjun got into trouble, the army called Lin Dajun.

Lin Yiyi: "Don't be nervous, I'll call them and I'll be back tomorrow morning. You can also take a leave and we'll go to the three armed forces together."

Lin Dajun: "Hey, I'll ask for leave right away."

Lin Yiyi hung up the phone and immediately went home. She found her notebook and took out the phone number of Lin Sanjun's unit. Then she went to the gate to call. When the call was connected, Lin Yiyi calmed down and said, "Hello, my name is Lin Yiyi, and I am the elder sister of Lin Sanjun, a soldier in your unit. This morning, my eldest brother Lin Dajun received a call from the unit saying that Sanjun was injured and asked us to come to the unit. May I ask what is Lin Sanjun's condition now?"

"Hello, we don't know anything about Comrade Lin Sanjun. All matters concerning soldiers' missions are kept confidential. I'm sorry."

Lin Yiyi: "But your troops called our family. Since they called, it means that Lin Sanjun's condition is allowed to be known to his family. I am not asking about the secrets of the mission. I just want to know the extent of Lin Sanjun's injuries."

"Then please wait a moment. It will take some time for us to inquire."

Lin Yiyi: "It's okay. I'll give you the phone number here. You can write it down. If you find out more, can you please call me back? I'll be waiting here."

"Sure, what's your phone number?"

Lin Yiyi: "XXXXX, I am from the XXX unit, my last name is Lin, my name is Lin Yiyi, and my husband is also a soldier."

The other party was stunned: "Please wait a moment."

Lin Yiyi waited for half an hour. Half an hour later, the other party called: "Hello, is Lin Sanjun's sister here?"

Lin Yiyi: “I am.”

"I have inquired about Lin Sanjun's condition. He is currently in the XXX People's Liberation Army Hospital. His injuries are somewhat serious, but his life is not in danger. His leg is injured and the problem is serious. His leg is unlikely to recover. I am sorry to let you hear this news."

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, sorry to bother you. Goodbye." Lin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. What she wanted to know most was whether Lin Sanjun was in danger.

At noon, Xiao Yu came back and Lin Yiyi told Xiao Yu about this: "...I plan to leave tomorrow. I didn't see what happened in the Third Army, and I'm always worried." The leg will never heal in a lifetime, how serious can the injury be?

Xiao Yu: "I'm not busy in the army recently, and there is no training for new recruits. I'll go with you." The troops on this island have very few tasks, and they mainly focus on training new recruits. Of course, sometimes they still have to carry out nearby tasks. But in general, it is a very idle army.

Lin Yiyi: "Is it convenient for you?" It would be great if Xiao Yu could go with her. After all, it's very chaotic now. Although she asked Lin Dajun to take a leave to go with her, Lin Dajun could only be there to make up the numbers and help her get things. He would be of no use at important times.

Xiao Yu: "That's convenient." He has never asked for leave since he came to the island. Of course, the main reason is that he has been free recently.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yu went back to arrange his work. They would be gone for at least ten days. Although Lin Wujun was 12 years old and Xiao Shiyi was 7 years old, they were the only ones left at home. Lin Yiyi was worried, so she said hello to the neighbors, and also to Xu and Jiang, asking them to look after the two children for the next few days.

That night, Lin Yiyi told the two children about Lin Sanjun: "...Xiaowu, my brother-in-law and I are going to visit your third brother. You will be in charge of the house for the next few days. Go to the canteen when you eat. When you boil water at home, be careful of the fire. You can only go out to play after the fire is out, understand? If you don't want to boil hot water, go to the canteen to get hot water."

Lin Wujun: "Sister, I understand. Don't worry, I will take good care of Eleven."

Lin Yiyi said to Eleven, "Eleven, you have to listen to your uncle at home. Dad and Mom will be back in about ten days. Mom will call you in five days. When you get out of school and have dinner, you can wait for Mom's call at the gate."

11: "Mom, I know, I have grown up and I am a sensible child now." Since he thought he had grown up, he stopped calling his mother by her name.

Although she gave instructions to the two children, Lin Yiyi just couldn't fall asleep. At dawn, she was about to fall asleep in a daze, and then she was woken up by Xiao Yu: "Get up, we have to go to the boat." The boat was at five o'clock, which was really a bit early.

At half past six, the two got off the boat.

At eight o'clock, the two arrived at Lin Dajun's house. Lin Dajun was already waiting for them at home, and he had even packed his luggage.
