The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. This is true in an ordinary family, but in the Xiao family, Xiao Yu is the most favored because he is a dragon and phoenix twin, which means auspiciousness.
Grandma Xiao: "Xiao Yu'er, what...what's going on?" Grandma Xiao pointed at the people in the car and asked.
Xiao Yu said: "Grandma, I met Daya on the way home. I just said hello and then I saw her fainted. I sent her back to the Lin family, but there was no adult in the Lin family..." Xiao Yu told the story again.
Grandma Xiao said, "Daya, this is pitiful, poor child. Her parents are gone. What will she do in the future? Hurry up, carry her into the room."
Xiao Yu directly carried the person to his room. He didn't think much about it. Besides, they were an engaged couple.
Grandma Xiao: "Grandma, go and make some medicine."
Xiao Yu: "Thank you for your hard work, grandma. Where are my parents?"
Grandma Xiao: "I went to find something to eat. I can't stay at home. There's no chance of pie falling from the sky if I stay at home. Xiaoyuer, why are you back?"
Xiao Yu said: "I changed my job, so I came back."
Grandma Xiao: "It's good that you're back. If you don't come again, I don't know if I can see you next time. These days, you don't even know when someone dies."
Xiao Yu: "Grandma will live a long life." As he said that, he took his big bag off the cart and carried it into the room.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Lin Yiyi who turned around.
Xiao Yu put down his bag and came to the bedside: "Daya, are you awake? You should rest first. Grandma is boiling medicine for you."
Lin Yiyi looked at the cold and resolute man beside the bed, and she felt that she could faint again.
Xiao Yu: "Da Ya?" What's going on? Has she been staring at him? Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of the scene when the little girl hugged his neck and kissed his lips. Suddenly, he felt his lips were a little hot, and he stepped back a few steps, fearing that the girl would hug him and kiss him again. Even... Even if they hadn't seen each other for two years, the little girl was too enthusiastic and would be gossiped about. However, he took two steps back, stopped, and then took three steps forward. If he stepped back, what if the little girl fell to the ground when she caught up with him?
Lin Yiyi stretched out her hand from under the quilt and waved towards Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked at Lin Yiyi, who looked pale and weak. "What's wrong?"
Lin Yiyi: “Your hand.” As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse and you could tell it was weak.
Xiao Yu was puzzled and gave her his hand.
Lin Yiyi grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and pulled him towards her.
Xiao Yu's heart was pounding, and he suddenly felt nervous. What was Daya doing holding his hand? And...his hand touched Daya's mouth...was she going to kiss his hand?
Lin Yiyi opened her mouth and bit Xiao Yu's arm hard.
Suction... Xiao Yu took a breath: "Daya, what are you doing?" He pulled back his hand, only to see two rows of deep teeth marks on the wheat-colored arm.
Lin Yiyi looked at him, her eyes turned red, tears streaming down her face. She had traveled through time and space, and became Lin Daya in "A Sister is Like a Mother". In fact, after waking up, when she had more memories of Lin Daya in her mind, and saw the unfamiliar environment here, her years of experience on the Internet told her that she had traveled through time. But... she didn't want to believe it. There were so many things she could wear, but she had to be transformed into the Saint Mother Lin Daya. "Wuwuwu..." Lin Yiyi couldn't stand crying anymore. She wanted to go home and continue to be her little princess, her house, her car, her brand-name bags, her luxury goods, wuwuwu...
No matter how calm Xiao Yu was, he was startled by her sudden cry. He hurried over and covered her mouth: "Don't cry, grandma is outside making medicine for you. She will be worried if she hears you crying."
The masculine breath suddenly rushed into Lin Yiyi's nostrils. She blinked and looked at Xiao Yu with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Yu also looked at her. The little girl's eyes were red, like a little rabbit. This was also the first time Xiao Yu looked at his little fiancee. Although her skin was white, her face was dry and not very fleshy. Her mouth was small and her lips were a little white. Her nose was high, making her face even more delicate. But the most beautiful thing was her eyes, dark and bright.
Xiao Yu has forgotten what his young fiancee looked like, but... she probably didn't have such bright eyes. When they occasionally met, she would call him Brother Yu, but her eyes didn't have the seductive look that they have now. It's been two years since we last saw each other, but my young fiancee has changed, Xiao Yu thought.
Xiao Yu: "I'll let go of your hand, don't cry, don't let grandma worry, okay?"
Lin Yiyi's mouth was covered and she couldn't make any sound, so she could only nod.
Xiao Yu tried to loosen his grip, but not too much. He was worried that if he loosened it too much, the girl would cry again, but fortunately she didn't cry. Xiao Yu moved a stool to the bedside, then sat down and asked, "Da Ya, how did you faint on the road? What happened?"
They were an engaged couple, and the door was open. There was an old lady at home, so they were not afraid of gossip. In the 1960s, the social atmosphere was not so strict. In 1967, when the Ten Years of Hardship began, the social atmosphere gradually changed, advocating simplicity, plain colors, and patched clothes. In 1960, red fabrics and other bright colors were still acceptable and could be seen in the market. In 1967, brightly colored fabrics disappeared from the market.
Lin Yiyi has Daya's memory. When Xiao Yu asked this, she lowered her eyes and choked with sadness. Compared with her howling, Lin Yiyi's sobbing looked more pitiful. And from Xiao Yu's angle, he could just see her long eyelashes with tears hanging on them.
Lin Yiyi: "I...I went to sell blood."
Selling blood? Xiao Yu frowned: "The country prohibits selling blood, and hospitals will not accept blood. Where do you sell blood? What do you sell blood for?" His voice was a little low and stern at this moment, which made people feel scared.
Lin Yiyi shrank back: "I...you...can you speak more quietly? I'm a little scared."
Xiao Yu: "...Okay." Did he speak harshly? Considering that his grandmother was outside, he spoke very softly. Why did this girl think he spoke harshly?
Lin Yiyi: "I...it was Erjun who told me. My parents passed away, and my uncle and aunt helped with the funeral. We were out of money at home...school is about to start in a while, so...so I went to sell blood. On XXXXX Road in the county town, Erjun said that he saw it by accident when he went to the county town before. I went there today and sure enough, I sold blood. I...Erjun also said that now that my parents are gone, there is no one to take charge of the family, and an eldest sister is like a mother, so the family will depend on me in the future. I...I can't get enough money for tuition, so I can only sell blood...Brother Xiao Yu, I'm so scared..." As she spoke, Lin Yiyi started crying again.
Xiao Yu said, "Don't cry, everything will pass." However, his eyes were very heavy. Theoretically, it is true that the elder sister is like a mother now that the parents are gone, but... is it the younger brother's job to ask the elder sister to sell blood? Since Lin Erjun knew that there was blood being sold there, why didn't he go himself?
Lin Yiyi: “I…”
"Little fish...little fish..."
Grandma Xiao's voice came from outside.
Xiao Yu stood up: "I'm going to go out for a while."
Lin Yiyi nodded. As soon as Xiao Yu left, Lin Yiyi hurriedly fumbled in the quilt, touched her waist, and then reached into her underwear. It was a famine period, and it was very chaotic outside, so Daya carefully sewed a pocket in her underwear, against the side of her leg, to hide money. Lin Yiyi reached in and touched it, and the money was still there. Daya got a total of 30 yuan from selling blood this time. In the original plot, Daya used this 30 yuan to support her younger brother to go to school.
However, Lin Yiyi's eyes flashed with sarcasm. She would not use this thirty yuan to send those four ungrateful people to school. This is really Daya's hard-earned money. Now that she is dressed as Daya, this is her hard-earned money, nothing wrong with it.
However, in the original story, there was no such thing as Da Ya fainting and being encountered by Xiao Yu. What is going on now?
In the original plot, Daya came back from selling blood... Next, it was the Xiao family's turn to come and talk about marriage. By the way, because Xiao Yu just came back, they took advantage of the famine period to talk about marriage. The Xiao family didn't take advantage of this, but the Lin family had no money and no food at the moment. If the Xiao family had to lend food to the Lin family, they would also be in trouble. So they simply talked about marriage at this time and used food as betrothal money, so that the Lin family could also get by for a while, killing two birds with one stone.
However, in the original plot, the marriage did not succeed because Daya wanted the Xiao family to raise her brothers together, but the Xiao family naturally disagreed, so the marriage fell through. However, the Xiao family was indeed grateful to the Lin family. Even though the marriage fell through, the Xiao family sent 30 kilograms of food to the Lin family as a token of friendship between the two families.
After that, the Xiao family was rarely described in the original plot. Only in the end, when Daya was old, Xiao Yu went home to sweep the graves. He heard that Daya was abandoned by her younger brothers, so he helped Daya find Lin Wudi who was sent away that year, and then Lin Wudi came back and took Daya away.
Although the TV show had not been completed, Lin Yiyi had read the novel. In the novel, Xiao Yu never married in his life.
When Lin Yiyi saw the promotional photos of the TV series, she thought Xiao Yu was very handsome, a very tough man. She didn't expect that after traveling into the novel, Xiao Yu himself was even more charming.
Thinking of this, Lin Yiyi wanted to roll around on the bed.
Xiao Yu came in and saw Lin Yiyi rolling on the bed wrapped in a quilt...his little fiancée, wrapped in his quilt, rolling on his bed. For some reason, Xiao Yu suddenly wanted to laugh.
Xiao-Woo: "Hmm..."
Lin Yiyi rolled over and happened to turn around, seeing Xiao Yu holding a ceramic cup, and the two looked at each other in silence. Lin Yiyi thought quickly and said, "I... I am happy when I see Brother Xiao Yu." I don't know if this answer can save me.
Xiao Yu: "...um...this is ginseng tea. The medicine is not ready yet, grandma is still boiling it. You drink a few sips of this first, be careful of the burn." I don't know why, but when he met those lively eyes, his heart beat faster. Every time he came back, his parents, grandparents were also very happy, but this feeling, telling his young fiancée that he was happy, seemed different.
Xiao Yu thought that everyone probably likes to hear good things.
Author's comments: PS: Actually, I don't know whether it was allowed to sell blood in the 1960s. I haven't found any data on this, so I tentatively say it was not allowed in this article. Actually, I think it should not be allowed. If blood could be sold, hospitals would buy it, and everyone would be able to sell blood during the famine!
