Lin Yiyi: "We bought a lot of food today. When you go back, bring some back home, and bring some back to my brother's place as well."

Xiao-Woo: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi brought a pound of cabbage and a pound of eggplant to the Xiao family, and a pound of taro and a pound of pumpkin to Lin Dajun and his family.

Datang Production Brigade

After dinner, the Xiao family sat in the yard to rest. Because everyone had more food, and Xiao Daqiang brought them food these days, they were full of hope for life. Then, they were surprised to see Xiao Yu coming back on a bicycle.

Qin Xiangju hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yu'er, why are you back?"

Xiao Yu: "I'm here to help Lin Yiyi get her household registration moved to the county seat."

Qin Xiangju: "Hey, can Yiyi's household registration be transferred? Wasn't the house previously owned by a company, so Yiyi's household registration couldn't be transferred?"

Xiao Yu: "No, doesn't she know how to grow bean sprouts? Someone took a fancy to the recipe for growing bean sprouts and offered her a house in exchange for it. If she gets the house, her household registration can be changed." He didn't say anything about the additional 1,000 yuan subsidy. He knew people's jealousy, and this was Lin Yiyi's private money, so he didn't think it was necessary to tell his family.

Qin Xiangju was stunned: "The recipe for growing bean sprouts can be exchanged for a house?" This...

The other members of the Xiao family were also very shocked, it was simply unbelievable.

Xiao Yu said, "But there is a condition. From now on, the recipe for making bean sprouts cannot be told to anyone else. Yi Yi can only eat the bean sprouts she grows, and cannot use them for other purposes." This is to prevent someone from getting the recipe and asking his wife for it. "This is a signed agreement, and there are witnesses. If Yi Yi tells the recipe to anyone else, he will go to jail." He deliberately made the matter sound serious. As he spoke, his deep eyes swept over everyone in the Xiao family and took in everyone's expressions.

Qi Bocai and Liang hurriedly lowered their heads. Just now, when they heard that Fangzi could change houses in the county town, they were moved and they also wanted to change.

Qin Xiangju said, "Yes, yes, yes. They exchanged the house for the prescription, so we naturally cannot tell the prescription to others. This is a question of one's credit. One cannot be without conscience."

Xiao Yu added: "These are cabbages and eggplants. Yi Yi asked me to bring them here to change the family's diet. She can't use bean sprouts to exchange for vegetables anymore."

Qin Xiangju: "Mother knows, then when are you going to transfer the house?" She was really happy that Lin Yiyi had a house, and she never thought of asking Lin Yiyi to put the house in her son's name. This was the daughter-in-law's own ability, and their family would not do anything to covet the daughter-in-law's private money. The house that the daughter-in-law bought with the bean sprout recipe was also the daughter-in-law's private money.

Xiao Yu: "I have gone to the captain to get a household registration certificate and will go to transfer the registration tomorrow."

Qin Xiangju: "Then I'll go to the county town with you tonight and help you guys clean up tomorrow."

Xiao Yu said: "This is too much trouble for you. The house is empty and you don't plan to live in it, so you don't need to clean it."

Qin Xiangju: "Yes, yes. Whether you stay here or not, you know the way."

Xiao Yu didn't say much: "Okay, I'll go to Dajun first. His sister asked me to bring them taro and pumpkin."

Qin Xiangju: "Well, go ahead." She had no objection to her daughter-in-law being able to bring things for her underage brother who had no parents.

County

Lin Yiyi never thought that Xiao Yu would go back to his hometown and bring Qin Xiangju with him. She immediately said, "Mom, why are you here?" She was really surprised.

Qin Xiangju carefully looked at her daughter-in-law's expression, and she was relieved when she saw that she was not unhappy. After her son got married, the mother's biggest worry was that her daughter-in-law didn't like her and would pick on her son. Qin Xiangju said, "Well, I heard from the second son that you are going to buy a house tomorrow, so I came to find out the way and help clean up."

Lin Yiyi had no plan to live in that house, so there was no need to clean it. But since Qin Xiangju said so, Lin Yiyi would certainly not object. She said, "Thank you, mother. You've worked hard. After cleaning the house tomorrow, why not bring dad, grandpa, and grandma to live with us. You four elders live in the county town, and we can take care of you." As for the others, she didn't mention them, and she would not agree to let them move in.

No one else in the Xiao family can do it, and neither can Lin Dajun and his friends. Lin Yiyi still understands the truth that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. Whether it is the eldest wife of the Xiao family, the third wife of the Xiao family, or Lin Dajun and his friends, she doesn't want them to be idle there in the future. As for Grandma Xiao and his friends, Lin Yiyi is relieved.

Qin Xiangju: "No, no, we are not used to living in the county town."

Lin Yiyi didn't dwell on the topic: "Mom, you guys must be hungry after all the travel time here. You should take a rest first. I'll get you something to eat."

Qin Xiangju: "Don't bother, we've already eaten at home."

Lin Yiyi: "Even if you're not hungry, Brother Yu is hungry too, so just accompany him and eat something."

Xiao Yu, who has never eaten enough...

Lin Yiyi didn't cook anything. There were still 5 steamed buns left over from lunch. She beat an egg, made egg drop soup, and then served it in two bowls, one for Xiao Yu and one for Qin Xiangju. If she put them together, Qin Xiangju might not be willing to eat it and would give it all to Xiao Yu. As a mother, she is always reluctant to eat what is in her child's bowl.

Looking at the steamed buns and egg drop soup in front of her, Qin Xiangju felt complicated. She was happy that her son was living a good life, really happy. But when she looked at Lin Wudi next to Lin Yiyi, the baby had obviously gained weight in just half a month. Thinking of her grandson at home, how could she not feel complicated?

However, she couldn't say anything. Fifth Brother Lin was lucky to have a capable sister. Although Lin's father and mother had passed away, her sister was capable and managed to stand on her own in such a situation. How could it not be that the Lin brothers were lucky? Here were the royalties and the bean sprout recipe. After a short while, he had a house, commercial food, and royalties. Who could have such a good fortune? She had only been in the county for a few days.

However, Qin Xiangju also knew that she couldn't ask Xiao Yu to raise Xiao Rui. The grandson's parents were both there, so it didn't make sense to ask the uncle to raise him. And Lin Wudi was raised by his sister, so the relationship was different. After all, the relationship between a nephew and a brother was distant, and the blood relationship was also distant.

Qin Xiangju sighed, but she was not the kind of person who didn't know reason. Look at her daughter-in-law's current ability. She is a lucky girl who brings good luck to her husband. If her daughter-in-law is good, it's no different from if her son is good.

Qin Xiangju felt a little comforted when she saw her son eating steamed bread. At least her daughter-in-law was very kind to her son and cared about them. She would send them vegetables and Fuqiang noodles. However, Qin Xiangju asked, "Yiyi, you have a house in the county now. Why don't you take Dajun and the others over? Although they say we take care of them in the village, it's not as good as having their sister by their side."

After all, Lin Yiyi was not a 15-year-old girl who didn't know much. She didn't know whether Qin Xiangju was sincere or testing, but she made her position clear: "The Dajun people are doing well in the village. They don't have any friends or acquaintances in the county town. I'm afraid they will be confused. Besides, I'm worried about them living there. What if they are not careful when using fire and burn down the house? That would be bad."

Qin Xiangju didn't say much after hearing this: "You do have some truth in what you said."

After dinner, Qin Xiangju went to sleep in the next room. The room was clean and the bed was made. After all, Lin Dajun and his friends had slept there on Saturday. Considering that they would come every week, Lin Yiyi did not put away the things, so it was just right for Qin Xiangju to sleep there.

the next day

Qin Xiangju took care of Lin Wudi, while Lin Yiyi went to find Brother Wang with the brigade's certificate. An hour later, Lin Yiyi had the house ownership certificate in her hand, and the house was hers.

Brother Wang: "There will be meat and eggs tomorrow. You can come and get them tomorrow night. Do you want them?"

Lin Yiyi was worried that the two kilograms of eggs at home would be gone, but eggs were not always available. When Brother Wang said this, she was very happy: "Leave me two kilograms of eggs, two kilograms of meat, and two kilograms of bones."

Brother Wang: “Okay.”

After breaking up with Brother Wang, Lin Yiyi went to the bank and deposited the 1,000 yuan that Brother Wang gave her. The original passbook with 2,000 yuan now had 3,000 yuan. Their family's assets of 2,500 yuan had 500 yuan and a house in their account. Lin Yiyi was very happy. Unfortunately, it was already late September, and the household registration that moved in late September was not eligible for commodity grain. Another point is that the monthly commodity grain for adult men was originally 30 kilograms, but now it has become 24 kilograms. The original commodity grain for adult women was 26 kilograms, but now it has become 20 kilograms, including 7 kilograms of flour, 3 kilograms of rice, and 10 kilograms of coarse grain.

Lin Yiyi returned home in a very happy mood.

Qin Xiangju: "Yi Yi is back, is it settled?"

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, I'll take you to see it?"

Qin Xiangju: "Then I'll take my things and pack them up."

Lin Yiyi: "Now that you have cleaned up, are you and grandma coming to live here? If not, the house will be empty and dust will still accumulate. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to clean it?"

Qin Xiangju thought so too. As for coming to live here? That was not the case. Qin Xiangju would rather live in the countryside, which was her familiar territory, than come to the county town. "Then let's go and take a look?"

Lin Yiyi: "Just go and have a look. Who knows, maybe when Brother Yu and I have a child, you'll have to live there to take care of the child."

Qin Xiangju liked to hear this. Her second son was not young anymore. If there was anything that made her worry, it was the child.

After seeing the house, Qin Xiangju's mood changed again. If she just knew that Lin Yiyi had a house before, then now that she actually saw the house, Lin Yiyi's position in her heart changed again, because from this moment on, Lin Yiyi was no longer a rural person, but a city dweller with a house. This house did not belong to the Lin family, but to Lin Yiyi herself. Moreover, she also received royalties, which made her no different from the workers in the city.

After looking at the house, Qin Xiangju was about to leave.

Lin Yiyi said, "Please stay for two more days. I distributed soybeans yesterday, and will be ready tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You can take some back then. There will also be meat and eggs for tomorrow night. I have already ordered them, so you can take some back as well."

When Qin Xiangju heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, no, you keep the food for yourselves, we have food at home too." In the past, because the Lin family was poor, the Xiao family married Lin Yiyi when the Lin family needed her the most, and gave her 50 kilograms of food and 16 yuan as a betrothal gift. Although Qin Xiangju did not mean to look down on Lin Yiyi, after all, as a mother-in-law, she still held her head high in front of her daughter-in-law Lin Yiyi. But now, she doesn't put on airs in front of Lin Yiyi at all.

Because she knows how to get along with her daughter-in-law, just like when she married into the Xiao family, her mother-in-law was also good to her. But this kind of goodness has a prerequisite, that is, the daughter-in-law must stand up for herself. Lin Yiyi can stand up for herself, so she will not put on airs in front of her, but Qi Bocai and Liang Shi can't stand up for themselves, so they are suppressed by their mother-in-law.

Lin Yiyi: "If you leave today, I will ask Brother Yu to ride his bike to deliver the eggs and meat to you tomorrow after dinner. Wouldn't you make Brother Yu tired? He is so tired from work, and he has to ride his bike to deliver things to his hometown. Are you willing to do that? You are willing to do that, but I am not."

Qin Xiangju listened and tapped Lin Yiyi's forehead: "Girl, you have a lot of tricks."

Lin Yiyi smiled coquettishly.

When Xiao Yu came back for lunch at noon, he was a little surprised to see his mother still there. He was even more surprised to know that his mother would stay for a few days. But he was also very happy. For a man, there is nothing happier than seeing his mother and his wife getting along well. "Is the house ready?"

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, but we're out of supplies for this month."

Xiao-Woo: "Just a few days."

Lin Yiyi: "Well, is today's food delicious?"

Xiao Yu: "It's better than usual. I know it's made by my mother."

Qin Xiangju smiled and said, "Look at what you said. From now on, don't eat anything I make for you." However, her son's words made her feel comfortable.

There were only two dishes for lunch, one was stir-fried lotus root slices and the other was stir-fried cabbage. The ingredients were the same as when Lin Yiyi made it, and Qin Xiangju even used less oil, but the taste was just as delicious as Qin Xiangju's.

In fact, it was good to have Qin Xiangju around. She could help take care of Lin Wudi and cook, which made her feel more relaxed when writing the manuscript. So when she went to bed at night, Lin Yiyi said to Xiao Yu: "Why don't we leave mom here? I feel so relieved when mom is here."

Xiao Yu: "Mom won't keep it."

Lin Yiyi: "Let's ask mom to bring Xiao Rui here too. Will she stay? But Qi Bocai is not allowed to come."

Xiao Yu directly blocked her lips and told her to shut up.

the next day

Lin Yiyi was stunned. Her father-in-law came so early in the morning.

Qin Xiangju: "Why are you here too? I'll be back in two days." She thought Xiao Daqiang came because he was worried about her.

Xiao Daqiang said: "I'm here to deliver a letter to Yi Yi. Yesterday at noon, the postman brought a letter from the county newspaper." Xiao Daqiang worked as a newspaper boy before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he knew a few words and knew that this was a letter from the county newspaper.

Lin Yiyi said: "That's the manuscript fee. I was still at home when I sent the letter, so I left my home address."

Then she opened the letter and said, "This time there's more money, 12 yuan."

Qin Xiangju calculated that it was eight yuan before the marriage, and she didn't know how much it was after the marriage, but this time it was 12 yuan. The total of three times was almost 30 yuan, and it was only one month. So, the monthly royalties of her daughter-in-law were more than the wages of other workers: "Yi Yi is really getting more and more promising." She didn't know how to say the compliments, but compliments were necessary.

Lin Yiyi: "Then you can stay in the county. You can help us cook, and I can concentrate on writing articles. I can earn more."

Qin Xiangju: "No, no, the family can't live without me." She knew that people far away smell good, but people near them smell bad. If she stayed here every day, there might be conflicts in two days. Besides, she really couldn't leave home.

Lin Yiyi said: "The royalties came today, and I just ordered eggs and meat. I'll go get them in the evening, and we'll eat meat tomorrow."

Qin Xiangju: "...Yes, it's just a coincidence."

Lin Yiyi: "Meat and eggs are very scarce. Normally, you may not see them for a month. This time, when my mother came, I got eggs and meat. It's really a blessing brought by my mother."

Qin Xiangju: "It's because the royalties have come, so you have eggs and meat, so you are lucky."

Next, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to brag about their careers. Xiao Yu's foresight was right, and the Xiao family became a place where three generations of daughters-in-law brag about each other.

So, after Qin Xiangju, Xiao Daqiang also moved in.

In the evening, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu went to Brother Wang to get some things, two pounds of eggs, two pounds of meat, and two pounds of ribs, a total of 32 yuan. The 500 yuan they took out before was 134 yuan left, so only 102 yuan was left, and this money was not enough.

The next morning, Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang went home after breakfast. They took a pound of pork and a pound of spareribs, but they didn't want any eggs. The chickens at home laid eggs, but Qin Xiangju usually couldn't bear to eat them, so it wouldn't look good if she took the eggs that Lin Yiyi bought.

Today is Saturday. After Qin Xiangju and the others left, Lin Yiyi went to the post office to mail the manuscript. This is the sequel to the first story of Black and White about human traffickers. She sent 30,000 words before and 70,000 words this time. Lin Yiyi controlled the content of each story to about 100,000 words. In addition to the 70,000 words of Black and White, there are also 5,000 words of the Republic of China story. She is very realistic in this regard, because Black and White brought her a lot of profits and made money, so the manuscript she gave priority to was also Black and White. As for the Republic of China story, it is 5,000 words per month.

After the manuscript was sent, she used the remittance slip to withdraw money, 65 yuan at a time, 12 yuan yesterday, a total of 77 yuan. When she got home, she put the 77 yuan in another envelope. She didn't plan to spend the manuscript fee anymore, she planned to save it.

At noon, I had pork ribs and taro soup. I cooked half a pot of it, including the portion for dinner. For lunch, I cooked rice and sweet potatoes. While the soup was boiling, I heard Cui Ping calling, "Yi Yi, is Yi Yi here?"

Lin Yiyi replied: "Yes, Sister Ping is here?"

Cui Ping came over with a basket: "Yiyi, have your bean sprouts grown these days? I haven't eaten bean sprouts for a few days, I miss them a little."

Lin Yiyi: "If Sister Ping wants to eat, I can give it to her. How much does Sister-in-law want to give?"

Cui Ping: "I have five kilograms of soybeans here. You can give me 20 kilograms after you distribute them, right?"

Lin Yiyi was stunned: "Sister Ping, are you going to give away things again?" So many?

Cui Ping said: "Isn't it?"

Lin Yiyi said: "I don't have so many tools at home. I can only distribute one kilogram of soybeans at a time. It takes three or four days. Sister Ping has to wait."

Cui Ping hesitated for a moment: "Is that so... are your bean sprouts growing well?"

Lin Yiyi felt alert. Cui Ping asked why. "It's just that the process is more complicated."

Cui Ping said, "It's like this. I need to deliver these bean sprouts to someone urgently. Please help me. I will find you the tools you need. If you can't handle it by yourself, I can come and help you."

Lin Yiyi said: "Even if I have enough tools, I really can't spare so much time. If I distribute five pounds of soybeans at one time, it will take 20 pounds of bean sprouts. I really don't have time." Half a pound of bean sprouts can be used to stir-fry a plate, and bean sprouts don't last long. These 20 pounds have to be eaten by more than ten households. How can Cui Ping deliver to so many people at one time?

Cui Ping said: "Really? Yiyi, have you found a job?" The implication is, if you don't have a job, how can you not have enough time?

Lin Yiyi said: "I have always had a job."

Cui Ping: "Oh, I didn't hear you say that before. What kind of job is this? Is it hard work?" Lin Yiyi is only 15 years old. Although there is no such thing as child labor in this era, the factory will still consider age when recruiting people. So Cui Ping doesn't think Lin Yiyi will find a good job. And seeing that she is thin and small, people in the factory generally don't think highly of her, right? If she doesn't have the strength, the factory will have to worry if they hire her.

Lin Yiyi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "The work is not hard, but it takes up a lot of time. I need a quiet space and cannot be disturbed."

Cui Ping: "There is such a job. What kind of job is this? Are you hiring? Look at me. I also want to find a job. Do you think I am suitable?"

Lin Yiyi had a good impression of Cui Ping before, and thought she was quite enthusiastic, but after meeting her again today, she had a different opinion. She felt that she was a smart woman. Lin Yiyi said, "I can do it even though I graduated from elementary school. Sister Ping must have a higher education than me, so she can definitely do it, too."

Cui Ping graduated from junior high school. Not long after marrying Yang Tai, she got pregnant. Later, she was busy taking care of the children. When the first child was a little older, she got pregnant with the second child. So she has not worked for these years. Later, she became the wife of the deputy director, and now the wife of the director. She really doesn't like ordinary jobs. Or, it's strange that she is comfortable at home. Why would she want to go to work? Besides, the director has a salary of 100 yuan a month, and some extra money. Although their family is not rich, they are indeed living well on the surface, so she is even more reluctant to work.

But now that Lin Yiyi had mentioned it, she also asked a few more questions out of curiosity: "I am a junior high school graduate, I don't know what kind of job this girl is?"

Lin Yiyi: "Writing a manuscript."

Cui Ping: “?”

Lin Yiyi said: "I was young and it was not appropriate for me to work in a factory, so I submitted my manuscript and I didn't expect it to be accepted. Writing a manuscript requires a very high environment, quietness, and thinking about the content, so it takes a lot of time."

Cui Ping was really surprised. It wasn't that she looked down on elementary school students. In this era, graduating from elementary school is not bad. She just didn't expect Lin Yiyi to have such a talent. For a moment, she didn't know how to express it. After a long while, she said, "Is...really? Then Yiyi, you are really talented." People nowadays have a natural respect for those who use pens to do things.

Lin Yiyi: "So I'm really sorry, Sister Ping. If you want bean sprouts to give away, I have to buy them one pound at a time. If you are really in a hurry, I know where you can buy bean sprouts. I'll take you there." Speaking of this, Lin Yiyi pondered. With Cui Ping's status, she shouldn't be unaware of Brother Wang's existence, right? If so, she should know that Brother Wang sells bean sprouts. Most people who want so many bean sprouts to give away would definitely go to buy them. How could they bother him? But Cui Ping?

Although Lin Yiyi was a little skeptical, she didn't think too much about it. After all, growing bean sprouts was a very simple task for her. However, no matter how simple it was, even if she had enough tools, she didn't want to grow more. Some things become worthless if they are taken out too many times.

Lin Yiyi had said this, and Cui Ping felt embarrassed. She said, "Then I'll leave these soybeans with you first. One pound at a time is fine. I'll come back in three days to get them. What do you think?"

Lin Yiyi said: "Okay."

After Cui Ping left, Lin Yiyi soaked the soybeans first. They still had vegetables at home, so she didn't grow bean sprouts for the past two days. Now Cui Ping's soybeans have been delivered. One kilogram of soybeans can make 8 kilograms of bean sprouts. She can take 4 kilograms, which is not bad. She can save her own bean sprouts.

Not long after Cui Ping left, Xiao Yu came back.

There is only one dish today, taro and pork ribs soup, but the portion is big.

During the meal, Lin Yiyi talked about Cui Ping: "This director's wife was very rude. Although she said that I harvested half of the bean sprouts when I was sprouting them, I didn't tell her. She asked me to sprout bean sprouts as if it was a matter of course. Isn't it too rude?"

Xiao Yu: "Then don't give it to her."

Lin Yiyi: "She should give it to us anyway. After all, we can accept half of the bean sprouts. I just think this person is very rude. She wasn't like this when she first came. Also, it would be fine if she gave the bean sprouts to eat herself, but she actually gave them to others. Isn't this like giving away something for nothing?"

Xiao Yu picked up a piece of pork ribs and gave it to her: "Thank you for your hard work. Eat more to replenish your body."

Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes at him.

After dinner, Lin Yiyi coaxed Lin Wudi to sleep, and she began to work on the second unit story of Black and White. The second story is the story of the true and false daughter, which is about a commander's daughter who was replaced by a nanny as soon as she was born during the Republic of China... In fact, this kind of theme has been seen a lot when I read novels before. Of course, Lin Yiyi will not copy it word for word, but this theme is much better.

The story begins when the commander's wife finds out that her daughter is not her biological daughter, and she entrusts a police detective to investigate. This time, the protagonist is reborn as a police detective.

I have to say that in modern times, everyone can’t get enough of this kind of plot, let alone in this era.

Lin Yiyi had a good idea. Although writing with a pen was not as fast as typing on a computer, she had written 3,000 words in two hours. After writing for two hours, she stopped writing and walked around to rest her hands. Then she woke up Lin Wudi and checked the time. The brothers of the Lin family were coming. So Lin Yiyi wondered what the brothers of the Lin family would bring her this time.

Just as Lin Yiyi was thinking about them, the three brothers came.

"Sister, we are here."

"Sister, we brought you something."

"sister……"

Lin Dajun was carrying a backpack, while Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun were carrying firewood. More importantly, Lin Dajun's backpack looked quite heavy.

As they came in, Grandma Wang from next door came over: "Yi Yi, these are your brothers?" Grandma Wang stared at Lin Dajun and the others curiously, her eyes full of scrutiny.

Lin Yiyi guessed that what Grandma Wang was thinking at this moment was that this was most likely a form of extortion.

In fact, Grandma Wang did think so. She knew that Lin Yiyi's parents had passed away and her younger brothers still had to rely on her to take care of them. She thought Lin Yiyi was really kind, but at the same time she felt that Xiao Yu was wronged. How much would he have to suffer to take care of four brothers-in-law at once?

It was the first time she saw Lin Dajun and his friends, but she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lin Dajun and his friends came with things and firewood on their backs. She thought that they were better than those poor relatives who only knew how to take advantage of others.

Lin Yiyi said: "Yes, this is my brother. The first, third and fourth army, call him Grandma Wang. Grandma Wang's house is next door."

Lin Dajun, Lin Sanjun, Lin Sijun: "Hello, Grandma Wang."

Grandma Wang: "Hey, hey, hey, hello."

Lin Dajun put his back down and said, "Come and see, I brought you something good."

Lin Yiyi looked at the heavy basket curiously, and then she took a look: "Yam?"

Grandma Wang: "What is yam? Is it medicine?" It's not that Grandma Wang is ignorant, but in this era, many people do not know much about food. When people hear the name of yam, they will think it is medicine. In fact, yam can indeed be used as medicine.

Lin Dajun's eyes lit up: "Sister, do you know this? Doctor Lin said that this can be eaten, and it can be eaten as a meal, but you can't eat too much, and you can't eat it raw, otherwise you will be poisoned. Is this really edible?"

When Grandma Wang heard that she was poisoned, she shrank her neck in fear.

Lin Yiyi said, "It's edible. Dajun, how did you find this?" She was very happy. In such a dry season, yam is one of the foods that can definitely last for a long time, and it can compete with sweet potato.

Lin Dajun chuckled and said, "When we came here last week, I told my sister that Doctor Lin told us that herbs can be exchanged for food, but we don't know many herbs, so this week we went to Doctor Lin's house and looked at a lot of herbs, including this one. Later, when we went up the mountain to look for herbs, we saw this yam, so we dug it up." Food is hard to find in the mountains now, and wild vegetables and the like, even the roots are gone. But herbs are different. Rural people don't know about herbs. In the nearby brigades, no one except Doctor Lin was looking for herbs, so the Lin brothers thought of herbs, but they didn't expect to find yam.

October is the season for wild yam to grow, so if you can find wild yam at this time, there must be a lot of it. Lin Yiyi looked in the backpack again. Lin Dajun had brought at least 30 kilograms of it.

Lin Yiyi touched Lin Dajun's head happily: "Well done, Dajun." A 13-year-old boy is not yet in the puberty period, but a 15-year-old girl is in the puberty period, so Lin Yiyi, who is 155cm tall, is taller than Lin Dajun.

The normal height of a 13-year-old boy is 150cm. The Lin brothers were malnourished even when their parents were around, so Lin Dajun is less than 150cm tall, at most 140cm tall, so it is still quite convenient for Lin Yiyi to touch his head. But after this touch, she will never do it again. How many days has this brother not washed his hair?

Lin Yiyi: "The three armies and four soldiers carried the firewood into the utility room. The big army took out three yams, and the others were also put into the utility room." Then she went to wash her hands first.

After washing her hands, Lin Yiyi made some sugar water for the Lin family's younger brothers and said, "Dajun, peel the yam after drinking the sugar water. But when peeling, wrap one end of the yam with a cloth, otherwise the mucus under the skin will be a bit itchy." At least when she helped her mother peel the yam before, her hands were itchy. Later, she applied rice vinegar and toothpaste, and soaked her hands in cold water. Anyway, she tried many methods before the itching subsided. Now she is a little afraid to peel the yam again. Now, the good brothers can take action.

Lin Dajun: “Hey.”

Lin Yiyi: "Just peel the yam, but don't remove the meat. I'll give you some meat soup tonight."

Lin Sijun: "Is it yam and pork soup or pork soup?"

Lin Yiyi: "Pork soup."

Lin Sijun: "That's great. By the way, sister, have you bought a house in the county? Can you eat commercial food now?"

Lin Yiyi was stunned. She didn't want to hide this from the Lin brothers, otherwise they would know when they grow up. But what if they also want to live in the county? Although she could refuse, she had to admit that even if she got married, her underage brothers were still her responsibility. She looked at the yam on the ground again, thinking about how Lin Dajun and the others came to see her with the yam on their backs. Although they came for food, they had good intentions after all.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yiyi explained, "I didn't buy a house, I just got to know a friend. He has two houses, but he can only get one share of the grain, so one house is empty and unused. So he let me register my name. I can only take half of the grain, and the other half has to be given to him. And because your brother-in-law is a public security officer, he guaranteed us, so he felt relieved to register the house for us. However, this matter cannot be known by others, otherwise everyone will think we are cheating for the grain. So now that you know it, you can't tell anyone when you return to the village, not even the Xiao family, understand? When I get half of the grain next month, I will make steamed buns for you."

The Lin brothers: "We definitely won't tell."

Lin Yiyi: "How did you know about the commercial grain and the house purchase? Did everyone in the village know about it?"

Lin Sijun said, "No, no, no one knows. It was the eldest sister-in-law who told us that you exchanged the house for the recipe for bean sprouts. She also said that the recipe must have been passed down by our parents, and that the recipe should have been passed down to our boy. Moreover, she said that the house we exchanged should also be for our boy. She asked us to compete with you for the house. This eldest sister-in-law is so mean."

Lin Yiyi's face gradually darkened. Originally, she was impatient to deal with this Qi Bo, after all, there were many women like her in this era, but she did it again and again, endlessly. The previous few times, after all, she was the newly married daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and it was not easy to make trouble too embarrassing, but this time was different.

Lin Yiyi: "The first army, the third army, the fourth army, you have to do me a favor. If you succeed, my sister and her husband will be able to separate from that family. Then my sister will only give you white steamed buns once a week, and that family will not be able to control you anymore."

Lin Dajun: “Really?”

In some aspects, the younger brothers of the Lin family were still very smart. For example, they knew that after the family was divided, the Xiao family would have no control over what their sister gave them to eat. If the family had not been divided, the Xiao family would have gossiped.

Lin Yiyi: “Really.”

Lin Dajun: "We listen to my sister." Besides, Lin Dajun was sure that his family didn't have a recipe for bean sprouts, so when Qi Bocai said that his sister exchanged the recipe for bean sprouts for money, he didn't believe it. Didn't he understand the situation in their family?

Lin Sijun: "Sister, please tell us quickly, what should we do?"

Lin Yiyi: "Army, Army Three, you come back to the countryside with me, right now. Army Four, you take Army Five and wait for your brother-in-law to get off work at home. When he comes back from get off work, tell him what happened today, and then..."

The Lin family brothers: "Listen to your sister."

So, Lin Yiyi didn't even cook dinner, and took Lin Dajun and Lin Sanjun back to the countryside. It was already three o'clock, and they returned to the countryside. It was just dinner time, and the Xiao family was having dinner.

Since the monthly ration has increased to 10 kilograms, the Xiao family has felt happy. Moreover, Xiao Daqiang and Qin Xiangju just came back from the county town this morning and brought a kilogram of meat and a kilogram of pork ribs. At this moment, they are drinking pork rib soup.

The Xiao family was a little surprised to see Lin Yiyi coming back.

Qin Xiangju hurriedly said, "Yiyi is back. You haven't eaten yet, right? I just made some bone soup at home. I'll make it for you..."

Lin Yiyi walked past Qin Xiangju and walked towards Qi Bocai. Before Qi Bocai could react, she slapped him twice. Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.

When Qi Bocai reacted, she rushed to Lin Yiyi: "You little bastard, you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death." Although Qi Bocai is also thin, she is taller than Lin Yiyi and she is a farmer, so she is stronger than Lin Yiyi. However, Lin Yiyi relies on the unexpected.
