As soon as Lin Yiyi walked into the yard, Lin Dajun said, "Sister, I want to eat tomatoes, too." He was a little greedy after seeing Dalin Sijun eating. Although Lin Dajun usually thinks he is the head of the family and acts like a little adult, in front of his sister, he still unconsciously acts like a child.

Lin Yiyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet Xiao Bin and his wife here.

Liang: "Second sister-in-law."

Xiao Bin: "Second sister-in-law."

Lin Yiyi said: "Now that you are here, come inside and sit down."

Liang: "It's sunny outside, and quite warm."

Lin Yiyi brought two tomatoes to Lin Dajun and asked Xixi and Lin Sanjun to eat them together. Then she made two cups of brown sugar water for Xiao Bin and his wife and said, "Are you here to look for your second brother? If it's urgent, I'll take you to the Public Security Bureau?"

Xiao Bin said, "I'm here to see my second brother. There's no rush. I won't bother him. I can wait until he gets off work." As he said that, he drank a mouthful of brown sugar water with some restraint. He held it in his mouth and was reluctant to swallow it. The last time he drank brown sugar water was when my second brother and his wife got married. On weekdays, the brown sugar water at home was not for adults.

Liang held the ceramic cup in her hands, and her heart was particularly complicated. The last time Xiaoer's sister-in-law sent cotton clothes to the elders in the family, she was shocked. The main reason was that Xiaoer's sister-in-law's temperament had changed a lot. Moreover, she was wearing clothes that only people in the city could wear and afford. She felt ashamed to greet them. Looking at the brand new ceramic cup in her hand, she didn't dare to use force, for fear of crushing it.

Lin Yiyi bought 10 ceramic cups for 3 yuan each in the system mall. They are called ceramic cups, but they are actually metal cups with a layer of ceramic glaze on the surface. After high-temperature firing, the glaze coating on the metal surface can prevent the metal from rusting, so that the metal will not form an oxide layer on the surface when heated and can resist corrosion from various liquids. Some ceramic cups have the Chairman's head portrait on them, and the words "work hard" and "make your own living", some have the words "serve the people", and some have the image of women, and the words "women can hold up half the sky". Lin Yiyi bought 10 of them for entertaining people. You can't just use the bowls to make tea for guests when they come, right? It's a bit unhygienic.

Lin Yiyi said, "If you are not in a hurry, just wait for your second brother to get off work. It is already past two o'clock, and he will be off work in more than two hours. Have dinner here tonight. It is a rare opportunity to come here, so don't refuse. I will get you some wine, and you brothers can drink it slowly. It is not busy in the field now, so you can spend the night here after drinking."

Xiao Bin: "No, no, no, no, I... I'll go back after I see my second brother." Speaking of which, Xiao Bin is only 19 years old this year. Although he is older than Lin Yiyi, he is only older than Daya. In the eyes of 28-year-old Lin Yiyi, Xiao Bin is still a young man. It's just that although the 19-year-old Xiao Bin and the 22-year-old Xiao Yu are not much different, their temperaments are completely different. Xiao Yu's temperament is the accumulation and sedimentation of knowledge, experience and ability, while Xiao Bin is a teenager who has not left the countryside.

Lin Yiyi said, "No, please sit here. I'll go outside to buy some meat." Then she went out with the basket.

Lin Yiyi had a good impression of the Xiao Bin couple. After all, Liang sold her good things the day after their marriage. On the day of the separation, they entrusted Xiao Yu to buy food with a sincere attitude, unlike the eldest wife who was suspicious of this and that. Moreover, Xiao Yu was a rare man in this era who was not foolishly filial but also had a sense of propriety, so she didn't want to embarrass such a man. Therefore, except for Qi Bocai, she was willing to give face to the other people in the Xiao family.

Lin Yiyi went to the police station on the pretext of going out to buy something.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to see the deputy director?" The male policeman came over.

"It's you, comrade. Hello, is your deputy director here? I want to talk to him about something." Lin Yiyi thought what a coincidence, because when she came here that day, she met this male policeman.

Male police officer: "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll go find the deputy director."

After a while, Xiao Yu came out. When he heard Lin Yiyi coming to see her, his first thought was to worry, because Lin Yiyi usually wouldn't come to see him unless something happened. But when she saw Lin Yiyi and saw his relaxed expression, she knew that everything was fine. He calmed down and walked over: "Why are you here?"

The male policeman next to him almost suspected that he had misheard after hearing this. The usually cold and meticulous deputy director now had the same voice as in the tape, so emotional.

Lin Yiyi: "Did I bother you?"

Xiao-Woo: "It's okay."

Lin Yiyi: "Just now, my third brother and his wife came with Dajun. I asked him what happened and whether he wanted to bring them to see you. He said no, we can talk about it after you go back. I let them stay here for the night and I'm going to buy some food now."

Xiao Yu: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Yiyi said: "We are husband and wife, this is what I should do, then I will leave first."

Xiao-Woo: "Yeah."

The male policeman listened and thought, my sister-in-law is really kind and gentle, even though she is just a little girl. His mother is talking to him about a wife, and he also wants to find one like her.

Lin Yiyi went to the scrap yard first.

The manager of the waste station was surnamed Liu. Everyone who knew him called him Big Liu. Big Liu's leg was injured while doing something righteous, so he was rewarded with the job of waste station manager. Lin Yiyi and Big Liu were old acquaintances. After she entered, she said, "Uncle Liu, do you have a bed here? I have guests at home and there are not enough beds. I want to buy a bed."

Da Liu: "We have a bed, but when we got it, half of it was broken. Later we repaired it, and the color of the two sides is very different." Most of the furniture here is old furniture, and the materials of many old furniture are very good. For example, this bed is made of solid wood, but it is impossible for Da Liu to find solid wood to repair it, so he used ordinary wood, which was also ordinary wood collected from other places. As a result, the new bed looks a bit out of place.

Da Liu is a very honest person. People who are brave enough to do good deeds are generally upright. In fact, the bed has been painted and many people don’t know whether it is new or old. However, he didn’t want to deceive people about this, so he didn’t paint it. He just wanted the buyer to see the goods.

Lin Yiyi said, "It's okay. I'll take the bed first. Can you come and paint it after the guests leave? It will take some time to cool down after painting, so I won't do it for now."

Da Liu: "Okay, come and call me after the customer leaves. This bed costs 5 dollars." Many things in the scrap station are sold, and the money belongs to the scrap station, so buying and selling here is allowed.

Lin Yiyi took out the money: "Then ask someone to send it to my house later."

Da Liu: “No problem.”

Then, Lin Yiyi went back. On the way back, she bought a pound of pork, leeks, celery, and 10 bottles of orange-flavored Arctic Ocean soda from the system mall. It is said that in the 1960s, old Beijingers were proud to drink this soda. Lin Yiyi didn't know how much it cost at that time, but it was seven yuan a bottle in the system mall. In addition, there were 5 pounds of rice wine, the kind used to make rice balls today. It was sweet and fragrant, and could be drunk by men, women, young and old. It cost 15 yuan a pound.

When they got home, Xiao Bin and his wife were still sitting in the yard, but Lin Dajun and his brothers were not at home.

Lin Yiyi: "Are the Dajuns not here?"

Liang: "I went to play with some kids. I wonder if the second sister-in-law is heavy? Let me carry it."

Lin Yiyi: "It's not heavy, just a little bit. By the way, Sister Liang, how is your cooking? Grandma and mother-in-law are so good at cooking, I really want to learn, but I never had the chance."

Speaking of this, Liang said, "I...my family is poor and there are many children in the family. Usually, my mother hides the key to the kitchen and doesn't let us enter the kitchen." To borrow the words of later generations, the position of a chef in this era is a lucrative position, because the person in charge of the kitchen can eat a little secretly and is much happier than other people. Therefore, the mother-in-law is usually the chef in the family to prevent the daughter-in-law from cheating.

Lin Yiyi felt sad after hearing this. As a person from the later generations, she could not understand the difficulties of this era before, but now she can understand it. However, this is how society progresses. No matter which country it is, it is built from scratch. Therefore, she can't say anything: "It will get better and better in the future. Sister Liang, you must believe in our country." But calling her Sister Liang is a bit embarrassing. She used to do it to be nice, but in fact, this girl is only 19 years old, the same age as Xiao Bin. At that age, Lin Yiyi was still a young girl. Besides studying, she just thought about where to go and what to buy every day. She never thought about what would happen in the future and what to do if there was no food.

Liang: “I hope so.”

Next, Xiao Bin sat outside while Liang helped Lin Yiyi light a fire.

After these three months, Lin Yiyi's cooking skills have improved. She can't compare with real good cooks like Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju, but the dishes she cooks are also very fragrant. The fragrance is because she puts in enough ingredients, and it has nothing to do with her cooking skills.

Dinner was braised pork, fried eggs with chives, fried celery with shredded pork, sliced ​​tomatoes pickled in sugar, cauliflower, and fried yam with shredded pork. There were six dishes in total, and the portions were plenty, so it was enough.

As the aroma of the dishes wafted out, Xiao Bin outside became a little restless.

Dinner was rice covered with sweet potatoes, which were cut into pieces, and the rice was dry, which was unimaginable in the Xiao family. In fact, even if there was enough food, someone like Qin Xiangju, who had been frugal for most of her life, would not be willing to eat like this.

"Sister..." Because it was almost time for dinner, the Lin brothers came back. The first thing the children did when they got home was to go to the kitchen. Basically, all the children did this, wanting to see what they were going to eat today, and then the adults would sometimes stuff something into their mouths.

But: "Wow, soda." Then Lin Dajun shouted, "Sister, did you buy soda?" Lin Dajun licked his lips. He had never drunk soda before and didn't know what it tasted like.

Lin Sijun asked, "Is this soda? Is it for us to drink?"

Lin Yiyi: "If you behave yourself, I'll give you some to drink."

Lin Sijun: "Sister, I'm very good and I'm very obedient."

Lin Dajun: "I am also a good boy. I even teach them to read."

Lin Sanjun remained silent and looked at Lin Yiyi expectantly.

Lin Yiyi's feelings towards them are very subtle. Her first impression of them was very bad. She regarded them as a burden and people who would bring trouble to her in the future. However, after three months of getting along with them, she also understood that the current Lin brothers were different from the ungrateful ones in the future. They were still young. Besides, they had given her warmth and brought her fried dough sticks and cloth shoes. People are like this. When you think that a person is not good and will not treat you well in the future, he suddenly treats you well, and you will feel very surprised. This is how the Lin brothers made her feel.

Lin Yiyi didn't want to care about them before. It was impossible to spend money on their studies. Letting them earn money to study was just a perfunctory excuse. In her heart, she even had the idea that the less they accomplished, the happier she would be. But now she doesn't have this idea anymore. There is a relationship between her and them. She was very touched when she saw how well-behaved they were every time they came to the county town. She even didn't want them to drag it on any longer. She decided to pay for their studies in September next year. But if they become like the ones in the original drama, she will definitely not let them go.

Lin Yiyi: "Then I'll give each of you half a bottle as a reward during dinner later."

Lin Sijun: “That’s great.”

There was also joy in Lin Sanjun's eyes.

The Lin brothers wanted to drink soda, so they stood by the dining table and waited for their meal.

After a while, Xiao Yu came back.

Xiao Bin: "Second brother." Xiao Bin, who was originally sitting at the door, stood up immediately when he saw Xiao Yu. He looked very well-behaved, and a little reserved.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "How is your family doing lately?"

Xiao Bin said, "We just got some food. It's not much, but each person gets about 20 kilograms, which is enough for two months. Mother said that we won't divide our work points this year. The food we get will be divided according to the number of people. Next year, each of us will manage our own work points." So, with the food we got when the family was divided, the couple will each have 70 kilograms of food. Thinking of this, Xiao Bin smiled and felt a little relieved. Nothing is more attractive than food.

Xiao Yu: "How are grandpa, grandma, parents?"

Xiao Bin: "Grandpa, grandma, parents are in good health. When you were away on a business trip, your second sister-in-law sent them some cotton-padded jackets and they said they were very warm. That day, your second sister-in-law brought several kilograms of meat and mother invited our third and first wives to have a meal together."

Xiao Yu was slightly surprised. He knew that his wife had made cotton-padded jackets for the family, but he didn't know that she had already delivered them.

Xiao Yu didn't say anything else, and the two brothers stood in the yard until Lin Yiyi called them to eat.

Lin Yiyi: "We have soda and rice wine at home, both are hot. You can decide what you want to drink, but I suggest Yu Ge and San Di to drink rice wine, it is very fragrant." As she said that, she brought the rice wine to them in a soup bowl. The soup bowl was also bought by Lin Yiyi in the system mall. She specially found a soup bowl from the 1950s and 1960s, which was made by Jingdezhen Porcelain Factory. The white bowl was reflected by a circle of small red flowers, and the small red flowers were colorful. A soup bowl of rice wine weighed one kilogram. She heated it in an iron pot. It was even simpler to heat the soda from the Arctic Ocean. She put the hot water in the wooden barrel and put the soda bottle directly in.

But speaking of the bowls, because they were all from the 1950s and 1960s, they were more expensive than modern bowls. A soup bowl like this cost 30 yuan, so she bought 4 of them. The rice bowls she usually used for meals also cost 7 yuan each, so she bought 10 of them. Finally, she bought 10 plates. The plates were the most expensive, costing 40 yuan each.

Lin Sijun: "I want to drink soda."

Lin Dajun: "I want to drink soda too."

Although Lin Sanjun did not say it, it was obvious that this was what he meant.

Lin Yiyi said: "There are four brothers in total, two bottles, take them to your brother-in-law to open." Soda bottles are similar to beer bottles, you just need to put the lid on a stool to open them, and men are particularly good at opening them.

Lin Yiyi took out another small bowl and filled it with two bowls of rice wine. She said to Liang: "Let's drink this to warm our bodies. It's quite good for female comrades to drink this."

Of course Liang would not refuse, she didn't even have any opinion at all.

While they were eating, the people from the waste station brought a bed over. Xiao Yu and Xiao Bin took the bed down and continued eating.

The rice wine tasted very good. Xiao Bin drank it in small sips, cherishing it very much. Even Xiao Yu drank it for the first time. It was sweet and had a little alcohol content, which made people want to drink more.

Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table. Xiao Bin drank a few sips of rice wine, and maybe he got bolder. He said, "Second brother, I... I look at my condition. Can I find a job in the county?"

Xiao Yu said, "This year is not good. You haven't even graduated from elementary school, so you definitely can't work in a factory. If you want to do hard labor, there is no place that wants you now. Food is tight in the county, and hard laborers can't do it if they don't have enough to eat." After a pause, Xiao Yu said, "When the year is better, I'll ask for you."

Xiao Bin: "The harvest is good, so I have to work and earn some wages at home."

Lin Yiyi: "I have an idea."

Suddenly, everyone looked at her.

Lin Yiyi said: "Vegetables are very expensive in winter, let's grow some vegetables."

Xiao Bin: "Second sister-in-law, we don't have land, so we can't grow crops."

Lin Yiyi: "No need for land. It's cold inside. Even if there is land, it's hard to grow crops."

Xiao Bin: "What does the second sister-in-law mean by farming?"

Lin Yiyi: "Don't we have an empty house in our hometown? The house in our hometown is not small, we can dig a pit inside the house. People in the north use pits for sleeping, and we can plant things on the pits."

Xiao Bin: "But we don't even know what a pit is, and no one in my family knows how to dig one."

Xiao-Woo: "Use the stove."

Lin Yiyi's eyes lit up: "Yes, use a stove. A stove is also fine. In fact, it looks like a stove. There is a place for burning fire below. The top is flat and surrounded on all sides. Then put soil inside. In this way, it becomes a piece of land. Then plant the vegetables that are easier to grow. I think chicken feather vegetables are the best. Just sow the seeds. They will germinate in three or four days and can be ready in a month." "It's a good harvest." Her grandmother's house used to be a demolished house. The houses were allocated by drawing lots. Her grandmother's house was on the top floor, which had an attic. However, the attic was half price. There was an open-air balcony of about 10 square meters in the attic, which her grandmother used to place potted plants. The potted plants were all vegetables, such as chicken greens and green onions. The old lady liked to grow these. If she wanted to eat them, she would grab a handful and then plant them over and over again, because unlike soybeans and corn, chicken greens can be planted all year round. It is simply the easiest vegetable to grow, no doubt about it.

Xiao Yu calculated: "According to what your second sister-in-law said, if everyone in the family works together to cultivate the land, it is not a problem to cultivate two plots a day. Moreover, if we finish cultivating it today, we can burn it tomorrow."

Xiao Bin was very surprised to hear this: "All of us farmers know how to farm." If he had to choose, he would rather farm at home than come to the county town to find a job. When he came to the county town, he felt inferior, and always felt that everyone looked down on them because they came from the countryside.

Liang: "It would be great if it could be done."

Lin Yiyi: "You can bring the vegetables you grow to the county town, and I can help you exchange them for other things." Brother Wang likes to collect vegetables the most. You know, it's winter now, and except for bean sprouts, other vegetables at Brother Wang's place are gradually becoming less and less, and we can't collect them anymore.

Xiao Bin: "Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Liang: "Can we put the stove in our room?"

Lin Yiyi was stunned.

Liang: "If we fix it in the guest room, who will it belong to? My sister-in-law...will get the upper hand."

Xiao Bin also fell silent.

Xiao Yu: "I'll discuss this with my parents later."

After the matter was temporarily settled, Xiao Bin and his wife both looked happy.

At night, Lin Yiyi and Liang washed the bed sent by the waste station carefully, wiped it dry, and asked Xiao Yu and Xiao Bin to carry it to the kitchen and put it down against the wall. Then she took out the back cushion and quilt. The back cushion and quilt were the ones they used before. Because Xiao Yu was not at home all year round, the back cushion and quilt of his bed were a bit old, but they were still well protected. As for the back cushion and quilt of Xiao Yu and his current bed, Lin Yiyi had replaced them with new ones a long time ago. When she replaced the new one, she put the old one away after drying it.

If it weren't for the fact that the four brothers of Lin Dajun couldn't sleep on this bed, Lin Yiyi would have wanted to let the couple sleep in the guest room and let Lin Dajun and his friends sleep in the kitchen for one night. In fact, there is no difference between the kitchen and the guest room, the house is the same.

At night, before going to bed, Xiao Yu said, "Dajun and his family have no adults at home in the countryside. Although Old Lady Ge is good to them, she is not a proper elder and can't take care of them. Why don't we let them live with us in the county?" If the Lin family's parents were still alive, Xiao Yu would not suggest that the brothers-in-law come to live with them, but Lin Dajun and his family are in a special situation, and there are no elders at home. And several times, he saw Lin Yiyi looking at Lin Dajun and his family with a particularly reluctant look in her eyes. Every time Lin Dajun and his family left, she was also reluctant to let them go, so Xiao Yu suggested it.

If Xiao Yu told Lin Yiyi what he was thinking, Lin Yiyi would definitely let him take the medicine. Reluctant? Reluctant? That was totally not the case. She was just pretending.

If Xiao Yu had proposed this when they first came to the county, Lin Yiyi would definitely not agree. But now, after she planned to let the younger brother of the Lin family go to school next year, she thought it would be good to let them move in. At least the fifth brother of the Lin family would not be lonely and confined at home, and they could take him out to play. Children still need to play, and they are not outgoing enough if they stay at home every day.

Furthermore, if the Lin family's younger brothers were to go to school in September, she would need time to observe them, so it would be very appropriate to let them move in now, observe them, and educate them properly.

Lin Yiyi agreed, hugged Xiao Yu's neck and kissed him: "Thank you, Brother Yu." Her brother Yu was like a hot hand warmer, and it was so comfortable to lean on him.

Xiao Yu held him down: "Don't move." His voice was a little deep, with a hint of hoarseness that left some ambiguous meaning.

Lin Yiyi suddenly became quiet as a chicken.

Xiao Yu's hands were clasped around her waist. He was the one who knew her changes best. It was not her personality that had changed. He had always known that she was a cunning little fox. So the changes he was talking about were her appearance. She had become more dazzling, had gained weight, and was very agile, like a little rabbit.

Lin Yiyi felt her waist a little itchy. The man's enlarged fingers stroked her slender waist. The man's body temperature was rising and his breathing began to become heavy.

All of this made Lin Yiyi dare not make any sound. But the more she did so, the more she could feel everything about him.

the next day

After breakfast, Xiao Yu and Xiao Bin returned to the countryside, bringing two kilograms of tomatoes and two cauliflowers. In fact, these were all bought by Lin Yiyi from the system mall when she was picking them.

Xiao Yu and his friends were not at home, so only the Lin brothers were left at home. Lin Yiyi called them into the room: "Da Jun, San Jun, Si Jun, sister wants to discuss something with you."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, what do you want to discuss?" In the past, Lin Dajun really liked the feeling of being the head of the family, but now he doesn't like it at all. After three months, he has become accustomed to having his sister arrange everything. "Sister, just tell me directly, you don't need to discuss it with us."

Lin Sijun: “That’s right.”

Although Lin Sanjun did not say it, this is what he meant.

Lin Yiyi said, "Your brother-in-law said that you have been working on your own these past few months, digging yams in the mountains, and looking for food. You have been very well behaved, much better than other children. Now that there is no work in the fields and you don't have to work, let you live in the county town. After the New Year, when there is work in the fields and you can go to work, you can go back to the countryside."

The three brothers were stunned. Lin Sijun was the most straightforward: "Really? Is it really possible?" In fact, they had always wanted to live in the county town, but they were afraid of what the Xiao family would say, so they did not dare to propose it.

Lin Yiyi said: "Of course you can, you are well-behaved and hardworking, so I have to reward you."

The three brothers laughed and danced with excitement. Even Lin Sanjun laughed, which was rare for him, because he usually didn't react.

Lin Yiyi added: "There is one more thing that I am going to tell you."

Lin Dajun: "What's the matter?"

Lin Yiyi said: "I used all the money I earned from my writings this year to buy cotton and make cotton shirts and pants for you. I plan to send you to school next year if I earn more money from my writings."

The three brothers, who were originally happy, suddenly froze. They looked at Lin Yiyi stupidly, and then tears began to flow. Since their parents passed away, they have always felt insecure. Otherwise, they would not have moved from Shanglin Production Brigade to Datang Production Brigade after Lin Yiyi got married. They did not want to be too far away from their sister. Later, their sister came to the county town, and they also felt insecure, fearing that they would be abandoned by their sister.

It was not until this moment that they finally felt relieved.

"Sister..." Lin Sijun threw himself into Lin Yiyi's arms, crying loudly.

"Sister..." Lin Dajun followed suit and threw himself into Lin Yiyi's arms and cried.

As the saying goes, crying children get candy. In the Lin family, except for the twins, the third and fourth army are ignored. But the fourth army has to take care of the fifth brother, so he is a little more talkative and lively. Lin Sanjun is a completely invisible person, so at this moment, Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun will cry, but he won't.

Fortunately, Lin Yiyi is not a person of this era. She would not be disrespectful and she also knows the importance of treating everyone equally, so she hugged each of her brothers.

Lin Sanjun's body was a little stiff. When his sister hugged him, he smelled the sweet scent of his sister. The scent entered his heart. He felt that it was his sister's scent, as warm as the sun. Slowly, this introverted and taciturn child reached out and hugged Lin Yiyi's waist. He buried his head in Lin Yiyi's chest, his eyes slowly turned red, and then he hugged Lin Yiyi tightly.

Lin Yiyi patted his shoulder and said, "Our lives will get better and better in the future, because our country is working hard, our country is making progress, and we ordinary people are also working hard."

Lin Sanjun: “Yeah.”

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, little men, there is no water at home. Your brother-in-law has gone to the countryside. You have to fetch water. I have to wash clothes. But you can't fetch too much water. It's better to fetch it several times than to fetch too much at once. Do you know why?"

Quick-talking Lin Sijun: "Why?"

Lin Yiyi: "Because the water is too heavy, it presses you down and you can't grow taller."

Lin Sijun: "I want to be as tall as my brother-in-law in the future."

Lin Dajun and Lin Sanjun were also tempted.

Lin Yiyi: "Then you have to get up early like your brother-in-law and go jogging. Your brother-in-law does this every day."

Lin Sijun was a little scared when he thought about getting up early in the winter to go running.

Lin Yiyi took the foot basin to the back door to wash clothes, and the washing water was poured directly into the toilet. While she was washing clothes, the three Lin brothers went to fetch water. When she finished washing clothes, the three brothers took the fifth brother Lin to play.

Calm down, Lin Yiyi started writing articles. She didn't stop writing articles just because of the system mall. If you say that writing articles was for making money at the beginning, then now, writing articles has become a job, and women can't live without pursuits. Besides, the money from the system mall can't be taken out. If she doesn't write articles, the family expenses will have no source, and Xiao Yu will immediately become suspicious.

Xiao Family

The men of the Xiao family were discussing things in the main hall, and the women of the Xiao family were sitting aside and listening. Although in the past, the Xiao family was always led by Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju, that was because these were not big things, but when it came to big things, the Xiao family still had the final say by Grandpa Xiao.

After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Grandpa Xiao said, "We can give it a try. Whether the vegetables can be grown or not, it is a method. If they are grown, the second daughter-in-law will be a great contributor to our Xiao family. If they are not grown, the second daughter-in-law's intention is also good. For us, it is just a little effort. I don't want you to blame the second daughter-in-law one by one if the vegetables don't grow, and feel that you have worked in vain."

Grandpa Xiao was a truly wise man. He knew that the most promising grandson in the Xiao family was the second grandson, and the second son's wife was the most capable and generous among all the daughters-in-law. Grandpa Xiao was very pleased. Fortunately, he had found this daughter-in-law for the second son. It must be said that the blind Zhang's fortune-telling was quite accurate. It was a pity that he did not tell the fortune when he found a daughter-in-law for the eldest son.

Xiao Wu: "Grandpa, there's nothing to do in the field now, so let's go pick up some stones and dig a pit for the stove."

It was a scam, so the Xiao family just copied it and gave it a new name.

Grandpa Xiao nodded and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Shut your mouths, one by one. Don't start making noises like a big mouth before our vegetables are grown."

In fact, Grandpa Xiao was overthinking. No one present would tell anyone. Take Qi Spinach for example. She would definitely be the last person to tell anyone because it concerns her family. However, as for her mother's family, she would have to wait until the vegetables at home were planted.

Grandpa Xiao said, "There is one more thing, about the distribution issue. We have two guest rooms in total. Now there are four families. The four of us old ones will have one guest room, and the eldest and the third will have one guest room. When the time comes, you can keep yours and we can keep ours, after all, we have already separated."

There was no problem with Xiao Wu and Xiao Bin. Qi Bo pouted, but she didn't dare to utter a word in front of this grandpa.

Seeing that they had discussed it, Xiao Yu said, "Then I will go back first. I will come again tomorrow and bring the seeds."

Grandpa Xiao nodded and said, "I'll give you the money for the seeds tomorrow."

Xiao Yu wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he said, "Yes."

Grandma Xiao: "Xiao Yu'er, eat first before you go."

Xiao Yu: "No, Yiyi must be waiting for me at home for dinner. She will wait until I go home." After thinking for a while, he said, "Last time I was on a business trip, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell her. Later, she went to the Public Security Bureau to find me. My colleague said it was already seven o'clock."

Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju: “…” What does grandson (son) want to express.

What Xiao Yu wanted to express was that he wanted to go home and have dinner with his wife.

By the time Xiao Yu returned to the county, it was almost one o'clock. Lin Yiyi and the Xiao brothers had already eaten. As for waiting until one o'clock in the afternoon, that was impossible, but they waited until 12 o'clock.

Lunch was rice wine dumplings. The rice wine was left over from yesterday. In those days, there were no refrigerators. Even in winter, the opened rice wine could not be kept. Lin Yiyi made two kilograms of rice dumplings with strong flour. The three boys and Xiao Yu in the family had to eat them.

Xiao Yu came back and saw his wife standing straight... leaning against the wall. What was she doing?

Lin Yiyi is actually just shaping her body and training her temperament. She stands against the wall for half an hour after dinner, which is equivalent to resting and also helps digestion, so that her stomach will not bulge. Seeing Xiao Yu come back at this point, neither up nor down, Lin Yiyi asked: "Did you eat?"

Xiao-Woo: "Well, have you eaten?"

Lin Yiyi: "I've eaten it. I made some rice wine dumplings and they're still warming them up in the pot for you."

Xiao Yu: "Yeah." He filled a large bowl with a soup bowl, then moved a stool outside. While eating, he looked at her standing there, "What are you doing?" After all, she was not basking in the sun.

Lin Yiyi: "I'm training my posture to stand taller."

Xiao Yu: "...I'll teach you?" This young wife is too hardworking. But in terms of standing upright, the military posture is the best.

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, from now on, you can teach me for half an hour before taking a shower before going to bed." If I don't have the opportunity to practice yoga, practicing military posture is also good.

Xiao Yu: “…Okay.” Just don’t complain about the hard work.

After dinner, Xiao Yu washed the dishes and said, "I'm going to buy some vegetable seeds."

Lin Yiyi: "I'll go with you. By the way, what do your family members say?"

The couple walked side by side, still with the cutest height difference, but they didn't look like brother and sister anymore. Lin Yiyi was dressed like a city girl, shedding the rustic look that came with her body when she first arrived, and now she looked youthful. The two of them looked like a perfect match.

Xiao Yu explained the situation again: "...So I have to go back tomorrow and give them the vegetable seeds."

Lin Yiyi turned her head to look at him. This man was wearing Liberation shoes, military green military training pants, royal blue sweater, and a dark gray coat. The coat was a bit thin and a bit old. Looking at the black cotton jacket she was wearing, she suddenly realized something. She thought Xiao Yu had a military coat, which was warmer than a cotton jacket, so there was no need to make a cotton jacket, but she overlooked one point. The military coat was very precious to Xiao Yu. Under normal circumstances, he was reluctant to wear it. In fact, it was not just Xiao Yu. Take the elders of the Xiao family for example. Under normal circumstances, they would rather freeze than wear a new cotton jacket. They cherish new clothes very much.

Xiao Yu: "What's wrong?" Seeing that she was staring at him, Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, but then he suddenly thought, would his wife hug him or kiss him on the way?

Lin Yiyi: "I find you are very handsome, Brother Yu."

Xiao Yu: "..."

Seeing that he used silence to avoid shyness, Lin Yiyi couldn't help laughing.

Xiao-Woo: "Don't laugh."

Lin Yiyi: "...This is not something I can control."

Xiao-Woo: "There are grains of rice in your teeth."

Lin Yiyi quickly closed her mouth, thinking, she rinsed her mouth with warm water after dinner, didn't she rinse it thoroughly? She would have to rinse her mouth in the same way next time. She never thought that her man was cheating on her.

Xiao Yu was satisfied with his reaction when he saw that she was finally quiet. However, after walking for a while, he saw that she was still quiet, and he was not used to it again: "I lied to you." He still liked her to say some things that made people think about it.

Xiao-Woo: "There is no rice in your teeth. I lied to you."

Lin Yiyi heard: "Deputy Director Xiao, as a public security officer, how can you
