Lin Yiyi looked at Xiao Yu sitting in the quilt, and she was a little dazed. She remembered her original world. Every winter when she had her period, she would prepare a hot water bottle and cover her stomach. Women are particularly fragile when they have their period. Not only are they physically weak, but they also have bad tempers. Even if the room is air-conditioned, they always have various things to complain about. At least that's how she is. about her blind date, and her mood would be even worse.
And now, looking at the man warming the quilt for her on the bed, looking at his deep eyes, looking at her with concern and worry. The kerosene lamp was lit in the room, and the light was imprinted in Xiao Yu's eyes. Lin Yiyi felt that she might have found a guiding light in this world, which could illuminate her all the way down.
Lin Yiyi walked to the bed and took off her pants. In the past, when the quilt was not warm yet, she would definitely sleep in her cotton trousers, and then take them off after the quilt was warm. But today, she didn't need to do that. She knew how warm and hot he would be in the quilt.
Two thin and white appeared legs in Xiao Yu's sight. His wife was very thin. She didn't have much flesh inside when she took off her clothes. The only part with some flesh was her buttocks. Her underwear was white and a little low at the waist, revealing the pink... something inside?
Lin Yiyi quickly got into the quilt and laid her legs side by side with him. Then she put her legs on top of him. Her legs were cold and his legs were hot. She seemed to have sucked in all the heat from his body, just like a fox spirit sucking in yang energy.
Xiao Yu reached his hand to her waist and hooked the pink cloth strip on her underwear around her waist: "What is this?" White and pink are very eye-catching, especially in the eyes of a straight man like Xiao Yu, they look particularly beautiful.
Lin Yiyi slapped his hand away: "Don't make trouble, that's a menstrual belt."
Xiao Yu: "..."
The menstrual belt that Lin Yiyi bought from the system mall is a long pink one with a pink string on it. The string can be tied around the waist, but it is not secure. It is only secure when worn inside underwear.
There are quite a few colors of menstrual belts in the system mall, but Lin Yiyi likes light-colored things to wear inside.
Lin Yiyi: "I'm going to sleep. I'm tired and sleepy."
Xiao Yu: "Go to sleep." He could see that her complexion was particularly bad, and she looked sick. It is said that every woman will have menstruation. Xiao Yu had never paid attention to these things before, but now seeing Lin Yiyi like this, he sincerely felt that it was not easy for women. It was bleeding down there, and it would last for several days. How could it be easy? "I'll go wash up and come with you later."
Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”
Xiao Yu washed up quickly. Even in winter, he took a cold shower. Not only was he in good health, but he was also used to it. However, after taking a shower, he didn't dare to go to bed immediately. Even if his body was dry, there was still cold air. He was worried that the cold air would be passed to Lin Yiyi, so he covered himself with the quilt to warm himself up before going to bed.
Xiao Yu got on the bed, and Lin Yiyi leaned over, her back in his arms, and then she pulled his big hand and put it on her belly. When she had her period, she liked to sleep on her side, so that even if the blood flowed out, the sheets would not be dirty. She really didn't sleep well without a sanitary napkin. God knows how much straw paper she used as a cushion, it was so thick that it became the sole of her shoes.
Xiao Yu's hands were big and a little rough. He rubbed her belly and said, "My belly feels a little cold and hard, just like constipation."
Lin Yiyi: "...When I have my period, my stomach is a little hard. I'm afraid of the cold, so I want you to cover it with your hand."
Xiao Yu: "Okay." He hugged her tighter, and felt like his palms could cover her entire belly. She was really too petite, so small, like his young lady.
Lin Yiyi fell asleep quickly because she felt relieved and tired. In the second half of the night, she woke up again feeling uneasy. As soon as she moved, Xiao Yu knew: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yiyi: "I want to change the toilet paper and see if my menstrual blood has come out."
Jin-Woo: "I'll go light the lamp."
The kerosene lamp was lit, and Lin Yiyi got out of bed: "Turn away, don't look."
Xiao-Woo: "I don't watch it."
Lin Yiyi walked to the corner, behind the door, she took off her underwear, untied her menstrual belt, took out the toilet paper inside, and then replaced it with clean toilet paper. After changing, she was frozen all over, and when she went to bed, she was shivering with cold.
Xiao Yu hurriedly hugged her.
Lin Yiyi: "Thank goodness I have you. I am not afraid of the cold."
Xiao-Woo: "Yeah."
the next day
The first day of the first lunar month was particularly lively. As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the children came to pay New Year's greetings. This year's harvest was better than last year, and the famine was also eased, so everyone was in a good mood to celebrate the New Year.
Lin Yiyi got up very early, firstly because she went to bed early the previous day, and secondly because she didn't sleep well. If she was in the county, she would have used sanitary napkins long ago, because in the county, sanitary napkins are flushed into the septic tank, and no one knows who used them, so it is very safe.
Since she couldn't sleep, she decided to get up early. Seeing the children coming to pay New Year's greetings, she grabbed some fruit candies from the table and gave each of them one. Although candy tickets were hard to come by, fruit candies were not expensive for people of that era, and a pound of fruit candies could buy a lot of them, so everyone was willing to spend the money.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you, Auntie."
The children called Lin Yiyi sweetly.
Their faces were not clean, some were wearing thin clothes, their faces were red from the cold, but they were filled with hope for the New Year. Lin Yiyi looked at them, feeling a little happy and a little sad. She said, "Wait a moment."
She took out her thermos and poured brown sugar into it. Brown sugar is 60 cents a pound, and a thermos of water is only about 2 taels, about 10 cents, which is really cheap. After soaking, she took out a small bowl and poured the brown sugar water into it: "Come on, everyone, drink a few sips to warm up your body."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Auntie, you are so nice."
"Auntie, are you Xiaorui's second aunt?" There was a dark-skinned child who was particularly lively, with a pair of bright black eyes, and looked very energetic.
Lin Yiyi said: "I am Xiaorui's aunt, what's wrong?"
The little boy laughed and said, "My name is Zhuzi, I'm Xiaorui's friend, we're very good friends. Auntie, was it you who gave Xiaorui the PLA hat?"
Lin Yiyi: "It turns out to be little Zhuzi. Hello, I am Xiaorui's aunt. Nice to meet you."
Zhuzi had never been treated so seriously before. He suddenly felt a little shy, but at the same time, his little man's self-esteem was satisfied as never before. He blushed and asked awkwardly, "Auntie, can I be your nephew?"
Lin Yiyi: “…” What kind of rhythm is this?
"No, no, Zhuzi, you can't take my aunt away." Xiao Rui just woke up and heard the kids coming to pay New Year's greetings. He couldn't wait to run over. When he got to the door, he heard Zhuzi talking and he got angry. He ran to Zhuzi and said unhappily, "Zhuzi, my aunt only has two nephews, Jixiang and I. You can't be her nephew." Zhuzi was so cunning that he actually hid from him that he wanted to take his aunt away.
Lin Yiyi was a little confused. What was going on? When did she become so important in Xiao Rui's heart?
Xiao Yu: "Everything is ready, let's go."
Lin Yiyi: “I’m here.”
According to common sense, a married daughter only returns to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school, but sometimes, there are not so many rules. In fact, in modern times, Lin Yiyi's family does not have such a rule. Every time during the Chinese New Year, relatives go to a hotel to eat. Each family takes out 10,000 yuan, and then eats from the first to the third day of the new year. Unlike in the countryside, relatives eat one by one. In the city, eating at home is too noisy, there is not much space, and cleaning is troublesome, so I simply go to the hotel. When all kinds of firecrackers are set off in the countryside, it is lively.
Lin Yiyi and her friends decided to go back to the Lin family on the first day of the New Year because Xiao Ling's family would come on the second day. In order to avoid Xiao Ling waiting for them until the evening like last year, they chose to go back to the Lin family on the first day of the New Year. Anyway, they had no relatives in the Lin family and could go anytime.
The younger brothers of the Lin family knew that their sister Chuyi was coming back, so they waited at the village gate early in the morning. They were given the same cotton-padded jackets as last year, which they treasured very much. This year, Lin Yiyi did not make cotton-padded jackets for them, but she made a set of cotton-padded sweaters and trousers for each of them. She could not give them too much at one time, least they think it was easy to get.
Because she was menstruating, Lin Yiyi didn't have a bicycle and sat on the back of Xiao Yu's bicycle.
Lin Dajun: “Here I come…”
"Sister..." Lin Sijun's voice was as loud as a cannon. No one knew how he pronounced the sound. If he had the chance, he could become a tenor. "Sister, you're back."
Brother Lin Wu stretched out his two hands and waved at Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu rode his bike to them and stopped. After Lin Yiyi got off the bike, Lin Wudi rushed over like a small cannonball, trying to throw himself into Lin Yiyi's arms, but Xiao Yu grabbed him by the back of the collar, picked him up, and put him on the crossbar of the bike.
Brother Lin Wu was startled at first, then he looked at Xiao Yu and smiled again: "Brother-in-law." In the heart of Brother Lin Wu, Xiao Yu is more like a father than a brother-in-law. When Lin's father and mother died, he was only two years old. He didn't remember anything and didn't know anything, so he didn't have any feelings for them. In the past year and a half, it was Xiao Yu who established the tall image of his father in his heart. He was as cold and majestic as his father, and he could pick him up and hold him high like a kind father. So Lin Dajun, Lin Sanjun, and Lin Sijun were a little restrained and afraid of Xiao Yu. In their hearts, Xiao Yu was not only a brother-in-law, but also a soldier and a public security officer. As ordinary people, there is no one who is not afraid of the public security.
But in Lin Wudi's heart, Xiao Yu is just like a father, so he is not afraid, but very close to Xiao Yu.
Lin Wudi is only four years old now, and he doesn't really understand the roles of his father and brother-in-law. After all, other people have fathers, and he has a brother-in-law. It can be said that the death of Lin's father and mother has left only Lin Wudi unharmed in the Lin family.
Xiao Yu said: "Your sister is not feeling well, you can't ask her to hug you without any hesitation. You are a little man, you are wearing a PLA hat, you should protect the people and your sister like a PLA soldier, do you understand?"
Brother Lin Wu touched the hat on his head and said loudly in his baby voice, "Yes, sir."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Lin Sanjun immediately looked at Lin Yiyi worriedly. Among all the brothers, he was the most careful and sensitive.
People of this generation may be unfair and may neglect a child, but Lin Yiyi has read so many novels that she would not ignore Lin Sanjun. Almost every time Lin Sanjun looked at her, she smiled and explained to him, "It's not a problem. It's a problem that every girl has every month. Don't worry. I just feel tired for a few days and don't want to move. I just want to sleep." She didn't make any other excuses. She felt that whether it was a boy or a girl, it was a good thing to know about physiological problems earlier.
Lin Sanjun didn't really believe what Lin Yiyi said. He thought his sister might not want them to worry, so she was lying to them.
Lin Yiyi knew what he was thinking from his suspicious look. She didn't know how to explain it, so she said to him, "If you don't believe your sister, you can go ask Doctor Lin. You will always believe what Doctor Lin says, right?"
Lin Sanjun thought about it and nodded. He really believed in what Dr. Lin said. When there was a famine, Dr. Lin taught them about herbs and told them that yam was edible, so Lin Sanjun trusted Dr. Lin very much.
Doctor Lin, who was lying down with a gunshot wound, didn't know that Lin Yiyi had found him a problem.
The Lin family has no proper elders. Although Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu are of the same generation as the younger brothers of the Lin family, they are also the proper parents of the younger brothers of the Lin family. Especially after Lin Yiyi became famous for growing vegetables on the stove, everyone naturally has more respect for people with abilities.
So, as the parent of the Lin family's younger brothers, Lin Yiyi invited Dr. Lin and his wife, the team leader and his wife, and Yang Guilan and his wife to the Lin family for dinner at noon on the first day of the first lunar month, and they did not refuse.
People are so realistic. They helped the Lin family before because the neighboring children were pitiful. Now they are close to the Lin family because Lin Yiyi is promising and Xiao Yu has status. Of course, they will make friends with such people. But even so, being able to help the Lin family when they are in trouble is enough to show that these people have good intentions.
Lin Yiyi is in charge of cooking. After a year and a half of practice, although she often slacks off and buys ready-made food from the system mall, during this year and a half, she actually cooks by herself. With more times, her cooking skills have naturally improved. It doesn't take great cooking skills to just not mistake salt for sugar when cooking, and treat sugar as salt.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while and then left. Lin Yiyi stayed with Doctor Lin: "Doctor Lin, I want to ask you something."
Doctor Lin thought Lin Yiyi had asked him to stay for something, but it turned out she was asking him something. He asked, "What is it?"
Lin Yiyi: "Doctor Lin, can you handle veterinary matters?"
Doctor Lin said, "Actually, from a doctor's perspective, whether it's humans or animals, many symptoms are common and can be used as examples. But even so, you can't act recklessly. Yiyi, do you want to study veterinary medicine?"
Lin Yiyi said quickly: "No, no, they are my pigs. These two piglets are well raised, right?"
Doctor Lin said, "That's right. In our village, only your family has two pigs. No one else has any. But I guess everyone will start raising pigs in the spring, but then the piglets will be a problem. Maybe everyone wants to wait for your piglets to get pregnant. Are your two pigs a male and a female?"
Lin Yiyi said: "The two pigs I have are one male and one female. Don't expect them to give birth to babies. I plan to castrate them."
Doctor Lin was shocked: "Girl, how can you say such a thing?"
Lin Yiyi explained: "...Doctor Lin, don't think too much, this is a way to raise pigs. You also know that my mother fled from outside. Because she had no relatives, she married my father and settled down here. But when I was a child, my mother told me that in her hometown, when raising pigs, they would castrate the pigs before raising them. This is conducive to the growth of pigs, and they can grow very large. It is easier to raise than pigs that are not castrated, and they can grow much larger.
Moreover, if pigs are not castrated, they have to be raised for a year and can only be released at the end of the year. It is generally difficult to raise them to 200 kilograms, and they are usually around 160 kilograms. But my mother said that in her hometown, castrated pigs can be released in half a year. It’s just that she was young at that time and didn’t know the details. But anyway, if this is true, this method of raising pigs is worth passing on, so that people will not be afraid of having no meat to eat in the future, so I want to try it.”
Doctor Lin, at his age, likes people who are highly conscious but not reckless. In his mind, Lin Yiyi is first of all someone who has done things for the common people. Her vegetable farming on the stove is not great, but it has really helped a lot of common people. Last year, not to mention other places, many common people in their county survived the famine by eating vegetables. Therefore, Doctor Lin thinks Lin Yiyi is a good girl.
Secondly, after Lin Yiyi recovered, she also did not forget to train her younger brothers, earn money for their education, and keep them as workers. She even thought about the house and dowry for her younger brothers to marry in the future. In some people's minds, it's a pity that such a girl is not a boy. Although Dr. Lin does not favor boys over girls, he does have more thoughts on boys. Hearing Lin Yiyi's arrangement for her younger brothers, Dr. Lin felt that if he were Lin Yiyi's father, he would die with his eyes closed.
Thirdly, I just taught Lin's younger brother some herbs and yams, but she always kept it in mind and occasionally sent him a few taels of meat. Although he could afford the meat, he had no meat coupons, but the child was grateful.
In addition, Lin Yiyi said that if this method of raising pigs is successful, we ordinary people will have more meat to eat in the future. Hearing this, Dr. Lin felt refreshed. He once again felt that this daughter-in-law was really kind and excellent. How could such an excellent daughter-in-law not be their daughter-in-law?
Doctor Lin was not a conservative person. He thought about Lin Yiyi's success in growing vegetables on the stove. Now that Lin Yiyi wanted to change her method of raising pigs, he also had an idea: "Well, I'll go find some veterinary books. When are you going to castrate the piglets?"
Lin Yiyi: "I plan to castrate the piglets before the 15th day of the first lunar month to let them adapt to the environment here."
Doctor Lin: "Okay, then I will read all the books on this subject. If I don't understand something, I will ask the butcher." There are no veterinarians in a place like theirs, so they have to figure out some things on their own. Besides, there is only one doctor in the area, Doctor Lin, and there is no one else to turn to.
Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Dr. Lin."
Qiu: "Since I went to the county seat, I have seen a lot and I am different now."
Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "I'm unfamiliar with the county town, so I can only learn and adapt. No matter where I go, I have to adapt to the environment, not the environment to adapt to me."
Mrs. Qiu: "That makes sense. People who have lived in the county are really different." Then she changed the subject, "By the way, Dajun's marriage is set. After Dajun gets married, Sanjun will be married soon, right? I remember that they are one year apart in age. What kind of girl do you want for Sanjun?"
Lin Yiyi calculated the ages of the Lin family's younger brothers. Lin Dajun is 15 this year, Lin Sanjun is 14 this year, Lin Sijun is 12 this year, and Lin Wudi...he will take the college entrance examination when he grows up, so there is no need to think about this for the time being.
Lin Yiyi looked at Lin Sanjun, wanting to hear his opinion: "Sanjun, what kind of girl are you looking for? Tell me, and I'll give you some advice."
Lin Sanjun lowered his head and said nothing.
Lin Yiyi walked up to him and said, "A real man should speak out whatever is on your mind. If you keep everything to yourself, won't you just make me worry for nothing?"
Lin Sanjun: He really enjoys his sister's worry about him.
Lin Sanjun: "I...I want to join the army."
Lin Yiyi didn't react for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Yu. She had never thought that Lin Sanjun would want to join the army. According to her idea, she didn't want her brother to join the army. Yes, soldiers are great, but she is just a little woman. She just wants her family to be safe. If her family joins the army, she will be worried.
Xiao Yu: "The age requirement for subscription is 16 years old. Sanjun is only 14 years old now, and there are still two years. There is no rush. Sanjun will study first in these two years, and when he turns 16, we will see if there are any subscription quotas here."
Lin Sanjun's eyes lit up, and he uttered a long speech, "Thank you, brother-in-law." Although this long speech only consisted of four words.
Lin Yiyi couldn't understand why Sanjun wanted to join the army. However, she didn't object, because she couldn't easily deny the dream of a 14-year-old boy. Just like Xiao Yu said, it would take another two years for him to meet the 16-year-old subscription age requirement, and she could observe slowly in these two years.
