Lin Yiyi: “Little Eleven…” Watching her son run out, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Shiyi ran out and ran into Lin Wujun. Lin Wujun: "Xiao Shiyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
Little Eleven felt so aggrieved that when he saw Lin Wujun, he threw himself into his arms and said, "Uncle, Mom is a liar, Mom is a liar, I don't have a sister, only a brother, wuwuwu... Mom is a liar..."
Lin Wujun: I didn’t understand it at all.
In the room
Xiao Yu sighed: "You made him cry."
Lin Yiyi was helpless: "How do I know that he hasn't found out? You are such a fool for not telling him the truth." Then she handed him the changed diaper and said, "Go wash it."
Xiao Yu took the diaper with a little smile on his face: "You blame me for this? Aren't you deliberately playing with your son?"
Lin Yiyi: "Nonsense, how could I, a serious person, play with my son?"
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at him pretending.
Lin Yiyi couldn't help herself and laughed out loud: "I really... really didn't expect his reaction to be so big."
Xiao Yu: "Just play with him." Then he took the diaper and went out. He saw Xiao Shiyi squatting in the yard alone, his body twitching. He walked over to his son, "Why are you still crying? Your mom is just teasing you."
Xiaoyi: "Mom is too much, she is a liar, how can she lie to a child?"
Xiao Yu: "As a son, do you know what else you should do besides protecting your mother?"
Xiao Shi shook his head: "I don't know."
Xiao Yu: "You still want to make your mother laugh. Look, now your mother is laughing."
Little Eleven: "But she can't lie to others, she can't lie to me. I told my friends that I had a sister, but now I don't have a sister, I only have a brother. I don't like a brother, I want a sister."
Xiao Yu: "When your brother grows up, you can tell him that this is your sister, and you can say it's your mother who said it."
Xiao Shiyi thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible: "What if my brother gets angry and cries?"
Xiao Yu: "Anyway, it's your mother who said that, let your mother go and comfort him."
Xiao Shiyi: "Okay, then can I tie my brother's hair and let him wear a skirt? Little girls always tie their hair and wear skirts." He has seen little girls wearing skirts, and he thinks little girls look better in skirts than in pants.
Xiao Yu felt a little sorry for telling him this, but since he had already said it, he could only continue: "It's up to you."
Xiao Shiyi: "Okay then."
Xiao Shiyi was no longer angry, and turned around and ran into the room again: "Mom, I want to ask you a question."
Lin Yiyi saw that his eyes were still red, and the tears around his eyes had not been wiped away. She felt a little guilty, so she waved at him: "Come here."
Xiao Shiyi walked over to Lin Yiyi, who wiped his tears with a handkerchief and apologized earnestly: "I'm sorry, Shiyi, Mommy shouldn't have lied to you. Mommy apologizes to you. Lying is wrong, and Mommy didn't set a good example."
Xiaoyi: ...He was going to tell his mother that he would also lie to his brother and tell him that he was a girl. But what could he say after his mother said that?
Seeing Xiao Shiyi's silence, Lin Yiyi couldn't help but ask again: "Xiao Shiyi, don't you want to forgive Mommy? Mommy is really wrong."
Seeing his mother was about to cry, Xiao Shiyi got nervous again. "No, no, I forgive Mom." Why did he seem to be the one who was wrong in the end?
Lin Yiyi hugged Xiao Shiyi and kissed him on the face: "Son, you are so kind and a real man."
Hearing his mother praising him, he was happy again, although he didn't know why his mother praised him as a man, perhaps it was because he forgave his mother.
However, even though his sister became his brother, Xiao Shiyi still disliked him in various ways. Now whenever he looked at his brother, he thought he was ugly no matter how he looked at him.
Alas... Little Eleven sighed like an old man, because his sister has become a younger brother, and he is now full of worries.
The family went to the cafeteria to buy lunch. Xiao Yu went to the cafeteria to buy food. Xiao Shiyi asked Lin Wujun: "Uncle, now that my sister has become my brother, will everyone think that I am a little liar who deceived them?"
Lin Wujun: “No.”
Xiao Shiyi: "Then when people ask me why my sister became my brother, how should I answer?"
This question stumped Lin Wujun. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you just say that this was a joke my sister played on you and that you were fooled by her?"
Xiao Shiyi: "That's not good. What if everyone says my mom is a liar?"
Lin Wujun: ... How can a child have so many stupid questions? "Then how are you going to answer?"
Xiao Shiyi: "I just said that this was a joke I played on everyone. I'm just a kid." But he didn't want to be a lying kid, he was so annoyed.
Xiao Yu came back from buying lunch and saw his son frowning and worrying about something. He said, "It's time to eat. What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Shiyi: "Dad, now that I don't have a sister, will everyone think I'm a liar?"
Xiao Yu: "No, if a kid asks you why you don't have a sister, just tell the truth, because being an honest kid is a sign of being a man."
Xiao Shiyi is very conflicted. He doesn't want to lie, but he also doesn't want others to say that his mother is a liar.
However, the child has a short memory. After lunch, everyone came to play football with him, and he forgot about it.
The next day, Xiao Shiyi and Lin Wujun went to school, and Qin Xiangju came with Lin Zhen. They brought a lot of things with them.
Qin Xiangju: "Yi Yi, I'm back, the military wife is here to see you."
Lin Yiyi heard it in the room and was a little surprised: "Xiaozhen is here? What should we do with the children at home?"
Lin Zhen walked into the house and said, "Sanjun will look after the child during the day, and Dajun will take care of him when he gets home from get off work at night. Sister, where is the child?"
Lin Yiyi pointed at the cradle and said, "He's sleeping here."
Lin Zhen: "Let me hug them. People say that if you hug newborn boys more often, you can share in the good luck and give birth to a boy yourself." Lin Zhen was good to her two daughters and was willing to give them everything to eat. But she also wanted a son. In the countryside, people without sons would always be looked down upon.
Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "Then hug me more." In fact, she understood Lin Zhen's idea. This was the general idea of people in this era. Even if Lin Yiyi advised her, Lin Zhen would not listen. Fortunately, even if Lin Zhen wanted a son, she would be good to her daughter. She was much better than those mothers who looked down on their daughters, gave them away, and did not let them go to school.
Lin Zhen held the child for a long time before putting him down. Then she said, "Sister, I came here for another thing today. If I tell you, you'll be scared to death."
Lin Yiyi was really shocked. After all, Lin Zhen's tone didn't sound like a small matter. Her first reaction was that something happened in the team, because from Lin Zhen's expression, it could be seen that it was not the Lin family. If it was the Lin family, she would be very worried. So after being shocked, Lin Yiyi quickly calmed down and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Lin Zhen: "The three armies have found their target."
Lin Yiyi: “…” She was indeed surprised, very surprised, “Who is it?”
Lin Zhen: “Guess.”
Lin Yiyi thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "I can't think of it, just say it directly."
Lin Zhen: "It's Xiao Shuang, Doctor Ying."
Lin Yiyi: "...It turned out to be Xiaoshuang, it's incredible." She couldn't imagine it. Sanjun didn't seem like the type who would chase girls. How did these two get along? However, no matter how they got along, she was naturally happy that Sanjun had a partner, especially this one she was quite satisfied with. "What about Sijun?"
Lin Zhen: "The Fourth Army said that you should decide on his target."
Lin Yiyi: "It's April now. After the summer vacation, I will be out of confinement, so let Sijun come to the army to meet Xiaotu. Xiaotu's mother and I have a good relationship, and Xiaotu's father is your brother-in-law's subordinate. Xiaotu is the eldest daughter and has younger brothers and sisters, so she often helps take care of the children and is very hardworking." She is also relatively mature and sensible, and has a gentle personality, which makes her suitable for Sijun.
Lin Zhen: "That's great. The Third Army and the Fourth Army are not young anymore. If they don't get married, people will gossip about them."
Lin Yiyi: “That’s right.”
Lin Zhen came to see Lin Yiyi and to get feedback on the situation at home, so she left the next day. After all, she was worried about the two young ladies still at home.
At the end of May, Lin Yiyi was released from confinement. The first thing she did was to take a bath.
Lin Yiyi took a shower happily. Qin Xiangju rocked the cradle and said, "April and May are actually good months to give birth. The weather is comfortable. If it's summer, you'll stink if you don't take a shower for a month."
Lin Yiyi: "My eleventh child was born in October, and the weather was comfortable. As long as it wasn't summer, it would be fine."
Qin Xiangju: "That's right." The Xiao family now has many children and grandchildren. The eldest wife has two sons and a daughter; the second wife has two daughters and a son; the second wife has two sons. It's really nice to have grandsons and granddaughters. "By the way, how are we going to hold the baby's full moon banquet? Aren't you going back to the village to hold it?"
Lin Yiyi: "No, just set up two tables in the army and invite a few people with good connections."
Qin Xiangju: "That's fine too."
Lin Yiyi hosted two full-month banquets in the army and invited several people with whom she had good relations to have a meal, which could be considered a celebration.
At the beginning of July, Lin Zhen and her daughter, Lin Sanjun, Ying Shuang, Lin Sijun, and Fang Fang and her son came. The reason for choosing this day was to wait for Lin Sijun to have a holiday. Lin Dajun did not come because he had to go to work.
“Big sister…”
"Sister, we are here."
With so many people coming to the house at once, it was quite lively. However, unlike everyone else, Ying Shuang was a little nervous. To her, this was a meeting with the parents. Although she had met Lin Yiyi before, this time was different from that time, so her mood was completely different.
Lin Sanjun introduced carefully: "Sister, this is my girlfriend Xiaoshuang." The reason why he introduced her like this was to show his appreciation for Shuang.
