Xiao Yu looked at his mother and nanny who complained but smiled like a chrysanthemum, thinking that Daya was indeed smart. He expressed Lin Yiyi's meaning expressionlessly: "Daya said that you should use vanishing cream to take good care of yourself. When our child is born, you will look young and people who don't know you will think you are grandma and mom."

Now, the smiles on Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju's faces became even bigger.

Grandma Xiao: "Our daughter Daya is really sensible, she is worthy of being educated. Blind Zhang said that Daya is suitable for Xiaoyuer, and it seems that they are indeed good. They are destined to be husband and wife."

Qin Xiangju: "Isn't it? I now have two daughters-in-law and one daughter, and none of them thinks of buying me vanishing cream, so Yi Yi is still the best. Mom, we have to call her Yi Yi, and Yi Yi is not the best. If you call her Daya, people who don't know her will think Daya is someone else."

Grandma Xiao: "Yes, yes, yes, call her Yiyi. Yiyi sounds nice. This name was given by Xiaoyuer."

Xiao Yu: He chose this name because he didn't know many words and thought this word was the easiest to write.

Qin Xiangju: "What's in this package?" She untied the knot of the cloth, "Is this shrimp? Is this all given to me by Daya?" It's not easy to find so much shrimp.

Xiao Yu: “Daya…” Thinking of his mother saying to call her Yiyi, he changed the name again, “Yiyi said that these are the shrimps she and her brothers went fishing yesterday, and she said they are for you and grandma to nourish your body.” Shrimp meat is also meat, and it is good for nourishing the body.

Qin Xiangju was moved, thinking that the Lin family had no food left, and the food they had was the betrothal gift they had brought. However, Lin Yiyi was not stingy and sent her the shrimps she had worked so hard to catch yesterday.

Grandma Xiao sighed: "Daya... Yiyi is really sensible."

Qin Xiangju: "That's right. We have watched this girl grow up. She is like our own daughter. She is so sensible. I feel sorry for her."

Grandma Xiao: "That's right. Fortunately, she will marry Xiao Yu'er soon. We will be a family in the future."

Xiao Yu looked at his grandmother and mother who were usually fierce and straightforward...

In fact, if a pound of shrimps was delivered at any other time, Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju would not be so moved, but now is a famine period, so the situation is different.

Xiao Yu looked at them and thought to himself, his wife is really smart. He simply sat aside and took out the boiled pheasant eggs to peel and eat.

Qin Xiangju: "We don't have boiled eggs today, right?" Although the Xiao family didn't raise pigs, they still had chickens, which were fed by the men of the Xiao family who dug earthworms. But Qin Xiangju usually hid the eggs. Unless it was an accident, she would not take them out to eat, even to her beloved second son. Occasionally, she would make egg custard and give it to Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao and the grandchildren, after all, the elderly and children were the weakest.

Xiao Yu: "This is the pheasant egg that Daya gave me."

Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju looked at each other. Only now did they realize that their grandson (son) also knew how to show off.

Of course, Xiao Yu did not admit that he was showing off.

Xiao Yu ignored the teasing looks from Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju, ate his eggs seriously, and then went to the storage room to find a wooden board to get busy. He planned to fix a wooden board on the crossbar of the bicycle so that the child could sit on it.

Lin Family

After Xiao Yu left, Lin Yiyi sorted out the things in the basket. When she saw the meat buns in the basket, she was stunned for a moment, and then her mouth curled up slightly. She knew that these were bought by Xiao Yu. Lin Yiyi put the buns, hot water pot and washbasin in the kitchen. Although they were dowries, she could use them before getting married.

Lin Wudi followed behind Lin Yiyi. Because he had not taken good care of himself in the past two years and his bones were not strong, he walked very slowly and even fell down after a few steps. But maybe he was used to falling, he got up by himself and called: "Sister... Sister..." behind Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi quickly put down her things and looked at his palms and knees. Fortunately, he was not injured or had any broken skin. This was probably the benefit of the muddy road. "Does it hurt?"

Lin Wudi nodded: "It hurts, blow it...sister blow it..."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, sister will blow on it." She blew on Lin Wudi's palm a few times, "Sister will give you meat tonight, okay?"

Lin Wudi: "Okay, eat meat, sister eat meat."

Lin Yiyi: "Yes, sister eats meat." She held Lin Wudi with one hand, and put the meat buns and the kettle of warm water into the basin with the other hand. Then she picked up the basin, but it was a bit heavy, so she buckled one side around her waist.

If you don't eat the meat buns at night, they will go bad. Xiao Yu bought six meat buns, just enough for the six people in the Lin family. If you eat meat buns for dinner, you don't need other food. You have to save food. Now they still have 44 kilograms of sweet potatoes, about 4 kilograms and 2 ounces of rice, and meat.

The meat was delivered by the Xiao family yesterday. There was still 1.8 jin (2.3 catties) of it. It had been there for a day. If it was not processed, it would definitely go bad. Lin Yiyi was a kitchen novice. She didn't know how to process the meat. After thinking about it, she decided to process it the same way as the lobster meat. She cooked the meat, sliced ​​it, and put it outside to dry in the sun. The sun was still hot at the moment, so it was just right to dry in the sun, along with the remaining 1 jin of prawn meat.

When it was almost six o'clock, the younger brothers of the Lin family came back and saw that the door of their house was open. They called out, "Sister..."

"Sister, we are back..."

Lin Yiyi said: "I'm back. You guys worked hard today. I bought you some meat buns."

When they heard the word meat buns, the Lin brothers' eyes lit up.

Lin Dajun: "Sister, did you buy it in the county town?"

Lin Sijun: "Sister, are the meat buns big?"

Lin Erjun: "Sister, how many did you buy?"

Lin Sanjun looked at Lin Yiyi silently.

Lin Yiyi: "Big meat buns, go drink some water first, and then we'll take care of the shrimps."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, we caught a lot of shrimps today. The second army and I fished in the upper lake, and the third and fourth army fished in the creek below. Look, there are two big baskets."

Lin Yiyi took a look and saw that it must be about 10 kilograms. Yesterday, the three of them had gained 20 kilograms in just 3 hours. Today, the four of them had been working from morning till night, so naturally they had gained even more.

Lin Yiyi said: "Sister knows you are well behaved, so I will cook more big shrimps today and make sure you have enough to eat." If she wants to continue to send them around, of course she has to give them some benefits.

Lin's younger brother: "Hey."

There were more than 1,000 lobsters weighing more than 80 kilograms. Lin Yiyi said, "You guys go in and pick out the lobster threads. When you've picked out 100, call me and I'll cook them. I'll be standing guard outside now. It would be bad if someone comes and sees us."

Lin's younger brother: "Hey."

In fact, Lin Yiyi's consideration was not wrong. Before the Lin brothers had picked 100, Yang Guilan arrived.

Lin Yiyi: "Auntie is here."

Yang Guilan: "Daya, have you eaten yet?" As she said this, she looked at Lin Wudi who was standing next to Lin Yiyi. The two-year-old boy was skinny and it was unclear what he was eating. He drooled occasionally, but his eyes were sparkling.

The Lin brothers and sisters all have beautiful eyes, like their mother, they all have deep double eyelids and long eyelashes. Although the fifth brother Lin is skinny, he is very good-looking. When he smiles, he has a small dimple on his left cheek, a single dimple.

Lin Yiyi: "Not yet. If I eat later, I won't be hungry so quickly. Has Auntie eaten yet?"

Yang Guilan: "Just ate. Daya, what do you think about what Auntie said yesterday?"

If Yang Guilan hadn't come, Lin Yiyi would have indeed forgotten about this matter. She went to the county town today and was very happy to see the Lin family's younger brothers coming back with so many lobsters, so she didn't think about this matter. Now that Yang Guilan asked about it, Lin Yiyi thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I still won't send my younger brother away. My younger brother is young, and he will cry without me by his side. Besides, he is so young and eats a lot. I also told my fiancé that when I get married, I will take my younger brother with me, and he agreed, so I don't want to send my younger brother away."

Yang Guilan was stunned: "This... your in-laws agree to raise your little brother?"

Lin Yiyi nodded: "Yes. My other brothers are old enough to find food on their own. When I can work and earn work points in exchange for food, my in-laws will agree to support a younger brother."

Yang Guilan: "But Daya, your in-laws are willing to raise you for a while, but after a while, they will definitely have opinions."

Lin Yiyi: "It will only take a short while. My first and second sons are already 13 years old, the third son is 12 years old, and the fourth son is 10 years old. Even if my husband's family is willing to raise them for four or five years, by then the first, second and third sons will have grown up, and it won't be difficult to raise a younger brother."

Yang Guilan thought about it and felt that what Lin Yiyi said made sense: "No matter how hard it is, it will only last for a few years. When the brothers grow up, they will support you, and then life will be better. Then, you, Auntie, go back."

Lin Yiyi: "Goodbye, auntie." After sending Yang Guilan to the gate of the yard, Lin Yiyi closed the door.

In the kitchen, the four brothers helped together and prepared a lot of lobsters. Lin Yiyi counted out 100 of them, cleaned them, put them in a clay pot and cooked them. When the lobsters were ready, she called her brothers to eat.

The Lin brothers were very happy while eating dinner. They had a big meat bun and 20 lobsters, and their stomachs were full. There was plenty of lobsters today, so Lin Dajun and Lin Erjun rarely asked for food from Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun.

Things in this era are all real, such as this meat bun, which is very big and has a lot of meat inside. If it were normal, Lin Yiyi would not like to eat the meat in the meat bun, but she knew that this body needed to be nourished, so she forced herself to eat it. But for Lin Wudi, a meat bun was too big. He ate one-third of it and three lobsters. He couldn't eat the rest, so Lin Yiyi decided to give his bun to Lin Dajun. Among the brothers of the Lin family, she wanted to establish Lin Dajun because he was the eldest brother.

Under the envious eyes of his younger brothers, Lin Dajun ate the meat buns left by Lin Wudi.
