The captain replied: "Yes, the family that adopted the Second Army has a request."

Yang Guilan explained: "It's like this, this is called adoption, which is the same as adoption. My relatives have no children. They originally had a son, but later he died in an accident, so they want to adopt a son to take care of them in their old age. They hope that the child will break off ties with his biological family, and they are also afraid that the child will be attached to that family after he grows up."

In fact, everyone understands what Yang Guilan said. However, many cases of adoption only occur between relatives. When relatives adopt each other's children, they generally do not sever the relationship, because even if the child is no longer theirs, it is still the relative's family, and they are still relatives, just as if the relative is gone. So the severance of the relationship due to adoption is rare in the countryside, but it does happen.

Director Yang also understood: "Okay, since you have written the divorce agreement and signed it, and the captain and the intermediary have also guaranteed it, then I will sign it for you too."

Lin Yiyi asked, "Hello, Director. Can you give me a commune stamp?"

Director Yang saw that although the girl was wearing patched clothes, the clothes were clean. Even though she was skinny and small, her face was clean. It was easy to like such a child: "Why do you want to stamp the official seal?" He knew that this was Lin Erjun's eldest sister, the girl who was brave and kind-hearted enough to commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall in order to keep her second brother.

Lin Yiyi said, "Because it is stamped with the official seal, it represents the commune. In this way, the family will definitely treat the Second Army better. The commune is the faith of us ordinary people. That is... the chairman is our sun, the commune is our sun, and the sun shines on the earth with its sun." After saying that, Lin Yiyi smiled shyly at Director Yang. It must be said that a 15-year-old child has a very contagious smile. Moreover, we are all normal people, and we don't have such sharp eyes to see that this 15-year-old body has a 28-year-old soul. Taking a step back, flattery will never wear out.

Director Yang was delighted when he heard this: "Oh, what the girl said is really nice. The Chairman is the sun, and we cadres are the sun. Did the girl go to school?" Although he said this, Director Yang did not stop what he was doing. He stamped the severance document directly. Such things are all small matters, all trivial matters. He can make his own decision when stamping, because the parties involved agree to it.

Lin Yiyi said, "I'm going to junior high school in September." Then she hung her head and said sadly, "But my family has no money, so I may not go to school. A few days ago, my second brother told me that there are blood sellers in the county, and blood is very valuable. I went to sell blood for 30 yuan, but when I came back, I was groggy and the money was gone."

Director Yang was shocked. Selling blood? He hurriedly said, "Lao Lin, there is nothing to do here. You can go back first. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do."

Captain: "Hey, thank you, Director Yang."

The captain led everyone away. After leaving the commune, Yang Guilan and Lin Erjun went to the county town, and the rest of the people returned to the village.

"Erjun." Lin Yiyi hugged Lin Erjun tightly, "Erjun, do you really have to go? I can't bear to let you go. We don't want their money, we don't want anything, you don't have to go to the county town. Although the people in the county town have money, they can let you study, can let you eat well, can buy you new clothes, but a nest of gold and silver is not as good as a dog's nest at home."

Lin Erjun: "Sister, the matter has been settled, the formalities have been completed, let's not talk about this, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Lin Yiyi looked at Yang Guilan again: "Auntie, why don't I go too? I want to meet them and see if they treat Erjun well."

Yang Guilan shook her head, apologetically saying, "Daya, I'm afraid that won't work. Otherwise, my relatives wouldn't have asked to sever the relationship. They just don't want the Second Army to have anything to do with you anymore."

Lin Yiyi: "Then...then I don't have a brother anymore?"

Yang Guilan said, "Da Ya, Erjun is already 13 years old and knows where our brigade is. He remembers his biological parents and you. You just wait for a few years, and when Erjun grows up, he can come and see you." This is why the relative wants to adopt a child, because the child will not remember where his hometown is, but a 13-year-old boy like Lin Erjun is different. He can remember everything clearly, not to mention that he has been educated and has graduated from elementary school. However, after the relative met Lin Erjun, he actually agreed to adopt Lin Erjun. Yang Guilan didn't understand this, but the relative had made this decision, so she naturally didn't say anything.

Moreover, what she said was true. Erjun was still young, and his relatives would not let them meet. When Erjun grew up, would his relatives be able to stop him? However, people should act according to their conscience. Although his relatives could not stop him, Lin Erjun could not be ungrateful and become an ungrateful person. However, Yang Guilan thought that he would not do so. After all, his relatives' family had good conditions. If Lin Erjun wanted to be an ungrateful person, would his relatives' family still give him their things?

Lin Yiyi: "Auntie, are you telling the truth?" After thinking for a while, Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "Then I will wait for a few more years until Erjun grows up."

Yang Guilan sighed, who knows what will happen in a few years.

Yang Guilan and Lin Erjun went to the county town, while Lin Yiyi took her brothers back to the brigade. Lin Dajun carried a backpack, which of course contained Lin Wudi, but he and Lin Sanjun each carried a section of the way, so they took turns and didn't get tired.

commune

After Lin Yiyi and the others left, Director Yang immediately went to the president's office: "President."

The president's surname is Cheng. Looking at Director Yang's anxious look, President Cheng asked, "Old Yang, what's going on?"

Director Yang: "President, our government doesn't allow selling blood, right?"

President Cheng was puzzled: "Why are you asking this? The hospital doesn't accept blood, so where does the blood come from to sell?"

Director Yang: "This is what happened. Today we went to the Lin Production Brigade... So Lin Daya sold blood. If the hospital doesn't accept blood, then how did Lin Daya sell blood? If she sold it privately, isn't it a private transaction? Private transactions are not allowed now, let alone selling blood. What if something goes wrong..."

President Cheng said seriously, "Old Yang, it's not that simple. Selling blood is not just Lin Daya. Since Lin Erjun told Lin Daya, there must be many people selling blood. Otherwise, how did Lin Erjun, a boy from a rural village, know about this?"

Director Yang: "You mean, someone told Lin Erjun? And is there any other inside story about this matter?"

President Cheng said: "I don't know the details. We have to find out more from Lin Daya, and then let Lin Daya lead the way to observe the situation there. We also have to find out from Lin Erjun, otherwise we won't be able to report to our superiors. Lin Daya and Lin Erjun are both from our commune, and we have no choice but to do this." Besides, President Cheng is an knowledgeable man. If the hygiene of blood transfusion is not maintained, it is easy to get infectious diseases.

Director Yang said, "What you said makes sense. I will go to Lin Daya to find out the situation."

President Cheng: "Thank you for the hard work."

Director Yang: "We are all serving the people."

Director Yang was riding a bicycle, so of course his speed was faster than that of Lin Yiyi and the others who were walking. Lin Yiyi and the others had only walked halfway when they were caught up by Director Yang: "Lin Daya... Lin Daya, wait a minute..." Director Yang called from behind on his bicycle.

Lin Yiyi and the others heard the voice and turned around to see Director Yang. Lin Yiyi: "Director Yang, you called me?"

Director Yang: "I wasn't calling you. Fortunately, you didn't walk fast, so I caught up with you."

The captain was also there, and couldn't help but ask, "Director Yang, are you looking for Daya?"

Director Yang smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to ask Lin Daya something. Captain, please go back first. I need to delay Lin Daya for a while."

The captain knew what Director Yang meant. He wanted to get rid of him. Although he was curious, he would not ask Director Yang in front of him. He could ask Daya later. "Then I'll go back first. Daya, cooperate with Director Yang to understand the situation."

Lin Yiyi: “Hey.”

After the captain left, Director Yang asked, "Lin Daya, where is the place where you sell blood? How did Lin Erjun know that blood could be sold there?"

Although Lin Yiyi didn't know why Director Yang asked this, she remembered what Xiao Yu had said before. The government did not allow selling blood in this era. Looking at Director Yang's expression, which was a bit serious, she said frankly: "I sell blood in XXXXX in the county. I don't know how my second brother knew about it. That day, my second brother told me that blood can be sold in the county and blood is very valuable. He wanted to sell blood to support everyone, but I refused. I said I would sell blood."

Lin Dajun said, "Sister, why are you protecting your second brother? He clearly said that an elder sister is like a mother and he wants you to sell your blood to support everyone."

Lin Yiyi...she was not defending him, she just couldn't say that.

After hearing what Lin Dajun said, Director Yang changed his impression of Lin Erjun: "Did Lin Erjun ask Lin Daya to sell blood?"

Lin Dajun said, "Yes, we are all here. Third brother, fourth brother, come and tell me if what I said is right or not."

Lin Sanjun nodded silently, then hummed.

Lin Sijun was different, he talked a lot: "It was my second brother who said that an elder sister is like a mother, and asked my sister to sell blood. My second brother also told us to say it together, and then my sister went to sell blood. Fortunately, she met our brother-in-law, otherwise my sister would have fainted on the roadside.

Also, my second brother was inherited by a family in the county town. That family wanted our fifth brother at first, but my sister couldn't bear to part with him and refused. But my second brother went to find Aunt Guilan in the middle of the night. He didn't do it to save food for us, he just saw that people in the county town were rich, and he remembered that our family was poor.

He said he was saving us food, but he was the one wasting our food. Our family had already found other food, so we were not short of food for the time being, but my second brother told the villagers about our new food in order to go to the county town, and then we had less food, so he hypocritically said that we had less food and he was saving us food.

Also, regarding the 200 yuan this time, he said that he would adopt the family in the county town and give us 200 yuan to buy food and pay for our education, but he still took the 200 yuan away. He didn’t want to give it to us at all. Because my eldest sister said that if the fifth brother was adopted, the 200 yuan would also be taken away by the fifth brother. He just wanted to enjoy himself, and he is not a good person. "

Lin Yiyi gave Lin Sijun a thumbs up. As an elder sister, she could not say such things, but the little kid Lin Sijun could say them. He was even younger than Lin Erjun, and when he said something, others would just say that he was still a child, simple-minded, honest, etc.

Director Yang never thought that the Lin family, with only a few children, would have such a connection.

Lin Dajun nodded in agreement.

Director Yang asked, "Then do you know how Lin Erjun knew about the blood selling incident?"

Lin Dajun said, "I know this. It was the railway brother from Tangjiaao who told me. I was with Erjun that day." However, he did not expect that his eldest sister would sell her blood to support them. It was Erjun who proposed this suggestion, and he agreed because he thought it was feasible. Anyway, his blood would not be drawn.

Lin Yiyi listened to Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun talking, and she understood the characters of these two people. They were indeed ungrateful in the original plot. Anyway, all four of them were ungrateful. However, they just followed suit. They watched how Lin Erjun did it, and they learned the same. In the end, they were all selfish and did it for their own benefit. If they didn't get any benefit, they would sell out Lin Erjun.

Director Yang got the news about Tangjiaao Railway from Lin Dajun, and said, "Okay, I got it, Daya, you and your brothers should not tell anyone about selling blood. Our commune has a rule that selling blood is not allowed. It is illegal and will be criticized. Do you understand?"

Lin Dajun was shocked when he heard this: "Then what about my eldest sister? She has already been sold once. Director, please don't criticize my eldest sister." At this time, Lin Dajun still had a conscience. In addition, Lin Yiyi took them to fish lobsters these days. In Lin Dajun's heart, the feeling of siblings was still good. He was still somewhat satisfied with such days.

Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun also looked at Director Yang with concern. Director Yang said, "As long as you don't tell anyone, I can speak well of you to the president." He was just trying to scare them, worried that they would tell such an important thing. As for Lin Yiyi's talk about selling blood in the village, the captain might also pay more attention to it.

Lin Yiyi: "I promise I won't go out. I promise in front of the sun."

Lin Dajun and other younger brothers of the Lin family also gave their guarantee.

Director Yang said, "Then you can go home. If you have any difficulties, come to the commune. The commune belongs to everyone and serves the people."

Lin Yiyi said: "Thank you, Director. You are such a good person."

Director Yang also rode away on his bicycle.

It was almost noon when Lin Yiyi and the others returned to the Lin family, so they started to make lunch. The lunch was two bowls of stewed eggs and sweet potatoes. Lin Yiyi asked Lin Dajun to watch while she took the two eggs and went out. Lin Yiyi went to Dr. Lin's house. She must have been discovered by Dr. Lin when she pretended to faint at the captain's house yesterday. When Dr. Lin observed her eyes, their eyes met. Although she closed her eyes immediately, Dr. Lin, as a doctor, must have known that she was abnormal, but Dr. Lin did not expose her. No matter what the other party's reason was, she had to express her gratitude. What's more, this time the Chinese medicine was paid in cash. Dr. Lin generously let them pay the bill. If he didn't have money, he would have paid it, but now that he had money, he would definitely pay it back. Lin Yiyi didn't like to owe money unless there was no other way.

Lin Yiyi arrived at Dr. Lin's house, but instead of going in, she called out at the gate of the yard, "Is Dr. Lin here?" There were a lot of herbs drying in the yard of Dr. Lin's house, and the smell of the herbs was very pleasant.

Lin Zhengde's wife called Qiu out: "It's Daya, come in quickly, your uncle is here."

Lin Zhengde said: "It's Daya, how are you?"

Lin Yiyi: "I feel much better now. Thank you, Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin, I'm here to pay for the medicine. I'll give you the money for yesterday's medicine."

Lin Zhengde: "Give it to Sanmao."

Lin Yiyi took out Sanmao and then gave the two eggs to Lin Zhengde: "Doctor Lin, I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry to bother you again and again. Thank you for yesterday...thank you for what happened yesterday as well."

Lin Zhengde took the three cents but did not take the two eggs: "Take the eggs back to your family for nourishment. We have eggs at home." After saying this, he paused again, "Daya, you fainted yesterday because you didn't want your second brother to be adopted in the county town, right?" This was Lin Zhengde's idea. A sister pretended to faint in order to prevent her brother from being adopted by people in the county town, but there was no way. The brother was determined. Even though his sister fainted, he still had to go through the formalities.

In Lin Zhengde's heart, he thought Daya was a good child. But Lin Erjun ignored his sister who had fainted and still wanted to go to the county town, which was not a good thing.

Lin Yiyi: "Well, I don't want Erjun to go to the county town. My parents have already left, and I don't want my brother to leave too... I don't want the family to break up."

Lin Zhengde: "Daya, you are a good child, but I hope you understand that some things need to be faced bravely. Fainting cannot solve all problems. Do you understand?"

Lin Yiyi: "I understand. I thought I fainted and Erjun would... but he still... Doctor Lin, I'm going back now."

Lin Zhengde smiled and said, "Yeah."

Lin Yiyi took the eggs and left.

Qiu asked, "What happened? Why did Daya pretend to faint?" Qiu was in good spirits. It should be said that the people in Lin Zhengde's family were all in good spirits. It was not a matter of food shortage, but Lin Zhengde was a doctor. In this era of hunger, he would always pick some medicine that was good for the body and boil it for his family to drink. This was probably the benefit of having a family member who was a doctor.

Lin Zhengde explained the matter.

Mrs. Qiu was a little surprised when she heard this: "Da Ya loves her brother, but their family has many sons, and it won't be a bad thing for Er Jun to be adopted by someone in the county. Da Ya can reduce the pressure, and Er Jun can live a good life. This is not a bad thing if you think about it carefully."

The Lin family has many sons, including five. In the eyes of most people, having one adopted is not a big deal. What's more, Lin Erjun has already remembered things. When he grows up, he may be able to help the family. However, these people don't know that in Lin Yiyi's eyes, Lin Erjun is a white-eyed wolf. She does not expect him to help the Lin family in the future, as long as he does not harm the Lin family.

After lunch, the Lin family went lobster fishing. Lin Yiyi said, "Dajun, I just went fishing yesterday... I walked so much today. If I go fishing again, my condition will get worse. If my condition gets worse, I will have to spend money on medical treatment. So I won't go fishing. You take Sanjun and Sijun with you. Be careful. If you feel unwell, come back. Do you understand?"

Lin Dajun recalled that his sister committed suicide by hitting the wall yesterday. He was still frightened. Besides, children these days like to run around and don't like to rest. So he didn't think much of it when Lin Yiyi didn't go and he took his brother with him. Besides, he was really afraid that his sister would not be able to survive. "Big sister, you should have a good rest. I will bring the three and four armies to catch a lot of big shrimps and bring them back."

Lin Yiyi praised: "Dajun is so well behaved. He is not only a good brother, but also a good brother to me."

Lin Dajun's dark face turned slightly red: "Then...then I'm leaving."

Lin Yiyi didn't expect that such a compliment would make Lin Dajun embarrassed. That's right, after all, he is only a 13-year-old child, not an ungrateful person who will oppress Daya in the future. She took out four candies: "This is a reward for you. Dajun needs to take good care of his brothers, so I gave him one more."

Lin Dajun: "Hey, I will take good care of my brothers." This voice was much more powerful than before. In this era, as long as it is entrusted to children, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a piece of candy.

Seeing Lin Dajun, Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun leave happily, Lin Yiyi shook her head. She was really tired and didn't want to go in the afternoon. Besides, there were only three fishing rods, so it would be useless for her to go. Besides, after she got married, these wedding candies were originally meant to be left for Lin Dajun, the head of the family. Giving them now would just let them eat their own food. But they obviously didn't think so much.

Lin Yiyi took Lin Wudi to sleep, and when she woke up it was already afternoon. For dinner she cooked sweet potato porridge and egg custard. When Lin Dajun came back with his two brothers, the talkative Lin Sijun apologized first: "Sister, there are so many people fishing for big shrimps today, and we didn't catch as many as before. Everyone sat close together, and if there was any movement on one side, it would disturb the other side. It's not easy to catch big shrimps now."

Lin Dajun said: "That's right. Some people blame us for not telling everyone earlier, saying that we were eating alone. Who wouldn't eat alone now?"

Lin Yiyi had expected that there would be more people today: "So what do you say?"

Lin Dajun: "I said that the big fierce shrimps grow in dirty ditches, and no one dares to eat them. We only eat them because we have no food at home. We don't know if you will get sick from eating them. If you get sick from eating them, don't blame us."

Lin Yiyi: "It's good that the army said that. We ate it at the risk of getting sick, and we didn't know if we would get sick after eating it. They wanted to eat it, so they can't blame us if they get sick."

Lin Dajun: “That’s right.”

Lin Yiyi: "Let's eat. You guys have worked hard this afternoon. I've made some eggs. Have half a bowl each."

Lin's younger brother: "Thank you, sister."
