Lin Daya only has this singlet, which she wears under her shirt during the day to prevent the shirt from showing her body. Girls in the countryside all dress like this, wearing a singlet under their shirts, while girls in the county town wear a bra wrap, which is prettier than a singlet and is similar to modern bras, tending to be a combination of a bra and suspenders. So after Lin Yiyi came, she wore this singlet as pajamas. Sometimes she washed it at night and wore it after drying it during the day.

When Xiao Yu came in, he saw Lin Yiyi lying flat on the bed, fanning herself with one hand. Because she was lying flat and her shirt was white, her flat breasts were very obvious.

Lin Yiyi saw Xiao Yu coming in and said, "You're here." That voice was as gentle as it could be. To use modern words, it was very coquettish.

Although Xiao Yu didn't know how to describe it in a coquettish way, he felt that his wife's voice was wrong, and it made his hair stand on end. He hummed, put his changed clothes on top of Lin Yiyi's clothes, then picked up the washbasin and went out.

Lin Yiyi said, "Why are you going there? Don't leave it outside. What if it gets mixed with other people's clothes?" She didn't say that it would be dirty to mix so many clothes together, because that's how it is in this era. "I'm your wife, I can't mix with other men's clothes. My mother said that married women should avoid other men."

Xiao Yu looked at the clothes they put together, and then listened to what she said, as if she was marked with his label. He explained, "Well, I'll go wash the clothes." He was used to washing the clothes of the day on the same day.

Lin Yiyi was a little surprised: "You...you are going now?" Then she hurriedly got out of bed and went to hold him, "Don't go. If a gay man like you goes to wash clothes for a lesbian, mother and grandma will see it and they will definitely have something to think about it." No matter how good Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju are, no woman is willing to see her son (grandson) washing clothes for another woman, even if this other woman is their son's (grandson's) daughter-in-law.

Although Lin Yiyi has no experience in getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she also knows that a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be based on the woman's kindness to the man, and must not make the man's mother jealous.

Xiao Yu: "No, my grandma and my mother are not such stingy people."

Lin Yiyi grabbed his clothes and said, "No, you can't go. Let me wash it tomorrow, just because I want to show off in front of grandma and mother." Then, she hugged Xiao Yu's waist and said, "Good brother, today is the wedding night, are you going to leave me like this?"

Xiao Yu: "......Hey......" helplessly, "Stop it, I won't go to wash. Also, you are still young, you can't have the wedding night for the time being." Speaking of the wedding night, his heartbeat quickened a bit. He is a 22-year-old adult man, and he has heard dirty jokes on weekdays. The army is full of gay men, and when they tell dirty jokes, they are full of curiosity about lesbians. Even the most serious man, as long as he is a man, there is no one who is not curious about women. What's more, now this woman is his wife, a wife that he can only look at but not eat.

Lin Yiyi: "..." She didn't want to have a wedding night, she just reminded him not to wash clothes on a day like today. But when he said that, it seemed that what she just said did mean that.

Lin Yiyi returned to the bed and half-lying down, leaning her back against the headboard and changing the subject: "Brother Yu, can you weave rattan loofah? It doesn't need to be too big, just like a small backpack, half a meter high is enough." Looking at him putting down the washbasin, she thought of something.

Xiao Yu followed to the bed, looking at Lin Yiyi lying inside, he was a little embarrassed, trying to cover it up with a topic: "No, Grandpa will. What do you want that for? What's the difference with a small backpack?" As he said this, he sat on the bed carefully, a little afraid of touching her. Then he tensed his body and half-lying like her, with his back against the head of the bed. But as long as he turned his head, he could see her. But... he didn't dare to turn his head.

Lin Yiyi: "I want to put a rattan basket behind this door to put the laundry. If I don't have time to wash my clothes, they will not be clean if I throw them on the ground. If I put them on the washbasin, I will use it anyway, so it is best to put them in the rattan basket. The air will also be fresh." Nowadays, she also has a rattan basket in her bathroom. She bought it on Taobao for more than 20 yuan. It is a combination of dark blue and bright red, and the colors are very eye-catching.

Xiao Yu: "Then just put it in the backpack. Put a backpack in the room."

Lin Yiyi: "Does the backpack need to be used at home?"

Xiao Yu: "This one doesn't matter. If we don't have enough at home, we can make more... I'll go chop some bamboo tomorrow and make you a backpack. You can put your clothes in the backpack." He still made the best backpack to put their spare clothes.

Lin Yiyi: "Then let's go the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I want to go to the county post office to withdraw money, and then mail the manuscript I wrote two days ago." The commune post office can mail things, but it can't withdraw money. That's the trouble. But she also wants to go to the county to buy some things.

Xiao Yu: "What is it about?" He was somewhat curious about the young wife's literary talent.

When Lin Yiyi heard this, she hurriedly said, "I'll get it for you to see." As she said that, she got up from the bed, threw the fan to him, and then stepped over him.

Following her movements, Xiao Yu's eyes stopped at Lin Yiyi's legs. Her pajamas went up to her knees, but the area below her knees was exposed. Her legs were white and straight. They were really white. Daya didn't do farm work, and her skin was good, so she was really white, the kind that wouldn't get tanned by the sun. Xiao Yu's straightness was because he was wearing filters. She was obviously thin, with a skinny body, and her legs were like chopsticks. How could they not be straight?

Lin Yiyi turned her back to Xiao Yu, flipping through her manuscripts on the desk. Her hair, which she had braided with a red headband and hung down in front of her chest during the day, had now spread out. Her hair was very long, reaching her waist. In those days, haircuts were not popular, so Daya's hair was also very long, but due to malnutrition, her hair was a little yellow and had severe split ends. It was just late at night, so it was hard to see clearly. Lin Yiyi was going to the county tomorrow, and she wanted to get a haircut.

After getting the manuscript, Lin Yiyi gave it to Xiao Yu: "Take a look." Then she got on the bed, still stepping over Xiao Yu.

The kerosene lamp was placed on the bedside table. At that time, there was no such thing as a bedside table, but a small low table.

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Yiyi's manuscript under the light, and the first thing he saw was the cursive script. Xiao Yu was extremely surprised. Regardless of whether this cursive script was authentic or not, these characters were very beautiful whether they were read separately or as a whole. Xiao Yu: "Who did you learn this from?"

Lin Yiyi shook her head: "I didn't learn from anyone, I just figured it out on my own. Looks good, right?" Speaking of which, children nowadays have all kinds of training courses and interest courses, and Lin Yiyi is no exception. However, unlike other people's interest courses and talent courses, her grandfather is the principal of a high school, and he doesn't force her to take those meaningless courses, which is different from modern parents who force their children to take all kinds of courses. However, brushes and pens have been compulsory courses for her since elementary school. Her grandfather is the teacher, and her grandfather has also joined the calligraphy association. As for other courses, she learned piano. Like every dreamy girl, when she was young, she also hoped that her boyfriend would be like the prince on TV, who could play the piano, but of course he didn't have to ride a white horse. It was not until I went to college that I realized that I was like a fool because I daydreamed too much.

Xiao Yu did not doubt Lin Yiyi's words, after all, the Lin family's conditions were there. And in this era, there would not be a special calligraphy teacher to teach children to write, so he could only say that his young wife had a talent in this area.

Soon, Xiao Yu was immersed in Lin Yiyi's story. The story was simple, about a widow who worked hard to raise five children after her husband passed away. The whole story was about 5,000 words, and from the widow, everyone saw how women hold up half the sky.

There is also an essay of one thousand words, which praises the motherland.

Xiao Yu was not moved by the content of the story, but, whether it was a short story or an essay, it was obvious that the author wrote very fluently, and he was just shocked by the young wife's literary talent. Of course, it's not that Lin Yiyi's literary talent is so good, but such an article came from a little girl who just graduated from elementary school, which seemed a bit good.

Xiao Yu never knew that his young wife had such literary talent. She was like a treasure box, full of treasures when opened. Her cleverness and enthusiasm attracted him one by one, and now, she had something more to attract him. Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Lin Yiyi, only to find that Lin Yiyi had fallen asleep by herself.

Lin Yiyi fell asleep out of boredom. In an era without computers, cell phones, or the Internet, one could fall asleep out of boredom.

Xiao Yu got out of bed and went to put the manuscript away, but he saw other manuscripts on the table. So, he picked it up curiously and read it, and he didn't stop reading it. This manuscript is the content of the second half. The content of the first half is not here, but after reading the content of the second half, he also knows what is written in the first half. It is about a policeman who went through hardships in order to find human traffickers and rescue kidnapped children. Different from the previous essays and the 5,000-word short story, this manuscript is full of a heavy mood. At the same time, in this manuscript, he saw the real literary talent of his young wife.

The manuscript was not long, only about 10,000 words. After reading it, Xiao Yu was eager to know the rest of the story. He was not curious about the ending of the story, but what else this policeman would experience.

Xiao Yu put the manuscript away, and returned to the bed with a little surprise and shock. The girl on the bed was sleeping soundly. Unlike when she was lying flat at the beginning, she was sleeping on her side, facing the left. To her left was him.

Xiao Yu got on the bed and leaned close to her. He was a little afraid to get close to her. Because Lin Yiyi was sleeping on her side, the collar of her sweatshirt was hanging down. Through the collar, he could see her collarbone under her neck, and along the collarbone, her snow-white breasts. Even if a woman's breasts are flat, as long as they have begun to develop, they can always squeeze out some meat when they sleep on their side.

Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva. He didn't have any physical thoughts about her, after all, she was still so young, but his heart was beating too fast and he felt a little ashamed. However, because this person was his wife, he could watch openly.

Xiao Yu quickly closed his eyes. The military rules and regulations were useless. No matter how hard he recited them, she was in his mind, her soft lips, her white legs...all kinds of her. Oh, I forgot to blow out the kerosene lamp.

Xiao Yu blew out the kerosene lamp and continued to lie down obediently.

When Lin Yiyi sleeps, she likes to sleep on the side. She feels particularly safe when sleeping on the side. She likes to tuck the quilt and pillow between her legs. She doesn't know what's wrong with her, but she likes it. Now, she keeps leaning on Xiao Yu. Because the bed in Xiao Yu's room is placed in the middle and not on the side, if she sleeps on the right side, she can't lean on the side and may fall off. Therefore, Xiao Yu, who is sleeping on her left side, is a bit unlucky.

Lin Yiyi leaned on Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu moved outside, but there was no bed outside. As long as Lin Yiyi leaned on Xiao Yu, she would not move, and once Xiao Yu moved outside, she would move with him.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to let Lin Yiyi lean on him like this. However, when he was sleeping soundly, his original stereotyped sleeping posture had changed unconsciously.

the next day

When Xiao Yu was in the army, he turned off the lights at 9:30 every night and went to bed, and got up at 5 in the morning. His biological clock had been used to it for many years, just like Lin Yiyi had been used to sleeping on her left side for a long time. This morning, he woke up at 5 o'clock as usual, and then... his head was a little stuffy, and there was a little girl in his arms, the little girl was nestled on his chest, her feet were across his legs, and one hand was grabbing his clothes... What was going on?

Xiao Yu opened his legs, one leg was still, and the other leg was raised, like a modern leg slimming exercise. Then he continued to raise the leg that was pressed by Lin Yiyi, and slowly pulled it out, while carefully observing Lin Yiyi so as not to wake her up.

The whole process was simple, but it took him two minutes to move. After he pulled his legs out, he got off the bed and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Yu went to bed last night wearing trousers and a sweatshirt. Even though he and Lin Yiyi were husband and wife, things still felt a little strange to him. He was not used to sleeping with someone in his underwear. In addition, Lin Yiyi went to bed early and didn't even wait for him to take off his trousers.

After Xiao Yu got out of bed, he saw the clothes on the washbasin at the door. Suddenly, he remembered something, hurried over, picked up his trousers from the washbasin, and then reached into his trouser pockets. He was busy entertaining relatives yesterday, and then took a shower and forgot what was in his pocket. At this moment, he was extremely curious about what the reward from his young wife was.

Although it only took a second to take it out, Xiao Yu's heart was already filled with curiosity. When he took out the reward and placed it in front of himself, his eyes widened in surprise. This was a one-yuan bill. When he touched it before, he felt that it was made of paper, but why did it have edges and corners? Because there were two folded love hearts on the bill. He didn't know how his wife folded them, but he was attracted by the two hearts. He felt that these were the hearts of him and his wife.

Xiao Yu carefully and cherishedly found a book from the bookcase, then put the two hearts folded from the one-yuan bill into the book and closed it. But after a while, he felt that it was not appropriate. What if the book was lost? Wouldn't the reward given to him by the young wife also be lost? Then, he took out the two hearts and put them in his trouser pocket. But after a while, he still felt that it was not appropriate. What if it fell out of his trouser pocket? After thinking about it, Xiao Yu felt that it was better to hide it in his trouser pocket so that he could always find out whether the things were there.

Xiao Yu got up early, and before the rest of the Xiao family got up, he went to the foot of the mountain in the village and ran a few laps.

Lin Yiyi actually woke up early. She had been here for half a month, and her biological clock had adjusted to the lifestyle here, going to bed early and getting up early.

After getting up, she found that the other members of the Xiao family had also gotten up. She picked up the wash basin and went to the kitchen to get water to wash. Seeing Qin Xiangju cooking in the kitchen, she said, "Mom, have you seen Brother Yu? I didn't see him when I got up."

Qin Xiangju is the chef of the Xiao family, regardless of whether they are hungry or not. Hearing Lin Yiyi's question, Qin Xiangju said, "He went to the foot of the mountain to run, he goes there every day."

Lin Yiyi washed the basin first, then poured water into it, saying, "So that's how it is. Does Brother Yu exercise like this every day?"

Qin Xiangju: "That's right. The training in the army is weird. I feel uncomfortable if I don't exercise when I get home."

Lin Yiyi: "Starting tomorrow, I will also go to exercise with Brother Yu."

Qi Bocai came in and said, "That's unfortunate. After my second uncle and my second sister-in-law come back, he will have to go to work at the Public Security Bureau in the county, right? How can he have time to take my second sister-in-law to exercise? My second sister-in-law must not delay my second uncle's work." When Qi Bocai said this, she felt very sad. When Xiao Yu was in the army before, she didn't feel much of a gap in her heart, probably because she thought out of sight, out of mind. But now Xiao Yu is going to the Public Security Bureau in the county, and the gap is big, because the eldest son is a useless farmer, and the second son is from the Public Security Bureau in the county. The contrast is very obvious. Look, he got married before he could take advantage of his second uncle in the Public Security Bureau. Everyone knows that it is not so easy for a married man with a family to be taken advantage of.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Bocai was jealous of Lin Yiyi. But how could a little girl whose parents had died enjoy such a blessing?

Lin Yiyi didn't get angry after hearing this: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for the reminder. I'll go ask Brother Yu." As she said that, she stuffed the toothbrush into her mouth, then went out with the washbasin. When facing someone like Spinach, the best way to deal with him is to be gentle and kind.

After Lin Yiyi had almost finished washing up, Xiao Yu came back. It's easy to sweat when running in the morning in September, especially for someone like Xiao Yu who runs seriously. His army green T-shirt was all sweaty. When he saw Lin Yiyi, he was stunned and then said, "Are you up?"

Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.”

Xiao Yu: "I'm going to take a shower and then go to the county town later."

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

Qi Bocai had been listening to their movements. When she heard that they were going to the county town, she was angry. Going to the county town every other day, do they have money but nowhere to spend it? Spendthrift. It would be much better if the money was kept in the public treasury.

Soon, the Xiao family came to the main room and prepared to eat.

There were no leftovers from last night, and today's breakfast was sweet potato porridge, half a bowl of sweet potatoes and a large bowl of soup. Seeing this, Qi Bocai thought, if there had been no wedding banquet yesterday, it would have been great if they could have eaten all the food. Thinking of this, Qi Bocai asked, "Daya, are you going to wash clothes later?"

There was no reaction at the table, and Lin Yiyi ate her sweet potato porridge calmly.

Qi Bocai's face darkened. He had just walked in and he was already giving him such a cold look?

Qi Bocai continued, "Daya, I'm not saying anything to you, but you're 15 years old after all. How can you not answer when someone asks you a question? If someone doesn't know, they might think you're not well-educated, or that you don't value me, your sister-in-law?"

Lin Yiyi blinked: "Sister-in-law called me?"

Qi Spinach: "Daya, what do you mean? Are you pretending not to hear?"

Lin Yiyi showed a sad expression: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, when I heard you call me Daya, I suddenly thought of my mother. Sister-in-law's voice is really like my mother. When my mother called me Daya, it was also the same voice as sister-in-law. My mother said that I was her first precious girl, her precious eldest girl, and she also said that when I have a younger sister in the future, she will be called Eryatou. I never thought that..." Lin Yiyi wiped her eyes and pretended to wipe her tears. She didn't care whether she really had tears or not.

Qi Spinach: “…” Damn, she sounded like a dead person, what does that mean?

Liang ate in silence, but the corners of her mouth twitched as if she was smiling, but no one noticed.

Qi Bocai wanted to say something, but Qin Xiangju said, "Okay, eat quietly. Can't you keep your mouth shut while eating?"

Qi Spinach angrily ate the sweet potato porridge in the bowl.

Lin Yiyi, Qi Bocai asked her if she was going to wash clothes. What was she doing? Did she need help with the laundry? Thinking of this, Lin Yiyi said to Xiao Yu, "Brother Yu, Doctor Lin said that my body is not well yet, and I can't touch too much cold water. I have to wait for a month or so. Later, can you go with me to wash clothes? I'll wash the small ones, and you wash the big ones."

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to answer, Qin Xiangju said, "Leave it there, I'll wash it for you later." She didn't think much about it. After all, everyone knew that Lin Yiyi fainted after selling blood, so she still believed Lin Yiyi's words that she was not in good health. But she couldn't let her son wash the clothes, so she took it herself.

Lin Yiyi immediately said, "No, no, this won't work. Mom is the elder, and it's not customary for elders to wash clothes for the younger generation. If I did that, I would be too unfilial."

Xiao Yu: "Yi Yi is right. I always wash my own clothes in the army. It's not a problem."

Lin Yiyi: "Then Brother Yu, please help mom wash her clothes as well. You should be filial to mom."

Qin Xiangju smiled and said, "No, you guys wash yours, I only have two pieces of clothes, just rub them yourself."

The Xiao family washes their own clothes, unlike some families who leave their clothes to the maids to wash. However, the Xiao family does not have any maids who can wash clothes, and it is not appropriate to let Qi Bocai or Liang do it. After all, there are men's clothes, which have to be avoided. Therefore, it is most appropriate for the family to wash their own clothes.
