In the blink of an eye, it was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. On this morning, Xiao Yu went to work, and Lin Yiyi rode her bicycle back to the Lin family. The day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival. According to the customs of the modern Lin family, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, but people of this era are not so particular, but Lin Yiyi still prepared glutinous rice balls when she went home. She prepared sesame-filled glutinous rice balls, not frozen, but the kind that is freshly made in the system mall.

Lin Yiyi arrived at the Lin family's house early. This time it was Lin Dajun's turn to clean the pigsty, so when she arrived, Lin Dajun had already cleaned and taken a shower and was washing clothes.

Lin Yiyi: “The army.”

Lin Dajun was also happy to see his sister coming back: "Sister, you are back. Piglet has not eaten today as you said a few days ago."

Lin Yiyi: "That's great." She parked her bike and carried the basket inside. "Go call Doctor Lin. We'll be ready later."

Lin Dajun: "Hey... what did you bring back in your basket?"

Lin Yiyi: "Tangyuan, let's have Tangyuan for lunch as a reward for taking such good care of the piglets these past few days."

Lin Dajun: “That’s great.”

Doctor Lin came without waiting for Lin Dajun to call him, because they had an appointment, and Lin Yiyi came back on her bike, and their family saw her, so he came without Lin Dajun calling him. But Doctor Lin did not come alone, he brought a butcher with him. Although Doctor Lin is a doctor, it is more appropriate for a butcher who is used to killing pigs to perform the castration.

Today, only one pig was castrated to observe its reaction first, and then the other one would be castrated in a few days. Therefore, if only one pig was castrated, the process would be relatively fast. However, listening to the pig's howling, Lin Yiyi felt uneasy, as if she was doing something very cruel.

After the pigs were tamed, everyone watched them for a while and found that they were not in good condition.

Butcher: "I have been slaughtering pigs for more than ten years, but this is the first time I have done this. I have never heard that pigs can be fattened by slaughtering pigs."

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "If this method of raising pigs is successful, you will be a great hero in the future."

The butcher laughed: "Then I will also be proud of myself."

Doctor Lin checked the pigs and said: "The pigs are in good condition. It shows that the piglets are well raised."

Lin Yiyi: "The army is really well behaved. They dig for earthworms and clean up every day."

Doctor Lin: "They are indeed very well behaved." Although their parents are gone, their family is now well-known in the surrounding area. It is better to say that Lin Yiyi is a good sister than to say that Dajun and his family are well behaved. "I will go back and check on the piglets twice a day. If any of the piglets are in trouble, Dajun will call me."

Lin Dajun: “Hey.”

When Doctor Lin left, the butcher naturally left as well.

Lin Yiyi said to Lin Dajun, "I asked you to make notes on raising piglets before. Did you do it?"

Lin Dajun: "Yes, yes, yes, I saw it clearly when the piglets were castrated today, and I will take notes." The result of seeing it clearly is that I feel pain in my body. But, "Sister, what is this note for? Do we need to tell others that we have successfully raised the piglets?"

Lin Sanjun and others didn't understand either.

Lin Yiyi asked: "Dajun, do you still remember how you got your job?"

Lin Dajun said, "It was my sister who was rewarded by the commune for growing vegetables on the stove..." He suddenly thought of something, "Sister, you mean, if we succeed in raising pigs, they will be ready for breeding in half a year, then the commune can reward us with a job? Should that job be given to Sanjun?"

Lin Yiyi thought, although she went there for this purpose, she couldn't tell her brother that. If people do everything with a strong purpose, they will be disappointed when they fail, or even if they succeed, but the purpose is not achieved. So she said to Lin Dajun: "Dajun, when I first thought of growing vegetables on the stove, I didn't think that the commune would reward work. But the commune rewarded work, do you know what that means?"

Lin Dajun shook his head.

Lin Yiyi said: "It shows that our country is a fair and just country, and that our commune leaders are all good leaders. You see, we ordinary people have made contributions, and the country and the commune have seen it, so they reward us for our work. However, this reward may not be all work, it may also be other things, such as rice, etc., or it may be a compliment from the commune leaders. What I want to say is that we have done good things for the country and the people, no matter what the reward is, we must accept it, because it is the intention of the country and the commune."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, I don't quite understand."

Lin Yiyi: “…” Is that too profound?

Lin Sanjun glanced at Lin Dajun.

Lin Sijun scratched his head; he didn't understand either.

Lin Dajun added: "But I understand. Anyway, we have succeeded in raising pigs, and the commune will reward us. It doesn't matter what. Is that right?"

Lin Yiyi: “…Yes.” Forget it, let’s not talk about such profound principles. Lin Dajun won’t understand even if I tell him. He is the kind of person who is happy as long as he sees the benefits.

Lin Yiyi had lunch at Lin's house and ate glutinous rice balls. She returned to the county town in the afternoon. After returning to the county town, she started writing. So far, she has written 14 stories in Black and White. Including the reprints, she has received more than 20,000 yuan in royalties. Lin Yiyi does not plan to write anymore. There are still four years before the 10-year turmoil. The 20,000 yuan in royalties is enough. In addition, she has a system mall. She does not want to be dragged into the literary prison before the 10-year turmoil comes. Therefore, every story she writes is praising the police and the country.

This is the last story written by Lin Yiyi. Next, she will submit some positive articles about rural life.

In the evening, when Xiao Yu came back from get off work, Lin Yiyi mentioned this to him during dinner. Xiao Yu never interfered with Lin Yiyi's submissions. On the contrary, there was a set of black and white books at home, which were sent by a city publisher. Lin Yiyi herself had not read them, but Xiao Yu had read them several times. While he admired his wife's imagination, he also told her about some problems with the plot. Professional police officers read the plot differently from Lin Yiyi, who wrote the plot based on imagination alone.

Xiao Yu: "How was the butchering today?" Speaking of which, when his wife proposed to butcher a pig, Xiao Yu had some physical reactions, because he was scared. He was a man of steel, and he would never back down in the face of an enemy, no matter how dangerous it was, but he actually backed down in the face of butchering a pig.

Lin Yiyi: "The army raised the piglets to be very healthy. Although the piglets were not in a good mood after being castrated, Doctor Lin checked and they are in good health. By the way, the butcher hired by Doctor Lin castrated the piglets today. I thought Doctor Lin would do it himself because he didn't mention that he would hire a butcher. I didn't expect Doctor Lin to back down and he seemed worried."

Xiao Yu felt that any man would back off if faced with such a situation. But he couldn't say that he had to maintain some manly dignity in front of his wife.

Lin Yiyi: "Oh, by the way, the day after tomorrow is Monday, which is also the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I will send some glutinous rice balls to the elders and go see the castrated piglets."

Xiao-Woo: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi: "Do you want to come with me? Just go there after get off work. It's very fast on a bike and you can go see the piglet at the same time."

Xiao Yu: "I'm not going. It's too late after get off work. You can go during the day. Don't wait until night. It's too cold at night." He didn't want to admit that he didn't really want to see the castrated piglets.

Lin Yiyi: "Okay." If she knew what the man was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes. How sad.

When sleeping at night, Xiao Yu's hands are particularly dishonest. Since Lin Yiyi had her period in the first month of the lunar year and asked Xiao Yu to cover her belly with his hands, he would cover her belly with his hands every time he slept, regardless of whether she had her period or not. In Lin Yiyi's view, he was taking advantage of her, and of course, Xiao Yu was indeed taking advantage of her.

They had discussed the issue of the wedding night and having children a long time ago. Lin Yiyi's inner thought was that she could only have the wedding night when she was 18 years old, but her birthday was in October. If she wanted to be 18 years old, she would have to wait until her virtual age was 20, which was a bit long. So Lin Yiyi compromised with the customs of the time and could only have the wedding night when she was 18 years old.

Xiao Yu had no objection to this. He was a very democratic person, and he might be strong in some things, but in this matter, especially when it was good for women, he respected women very much.

Of course, this is Lin Yiyi's idea.

But in fact, Xiao Yu counts the days every day.

The broad and thick palm was placed against Lin Yiyi's belly, and the fingers with the string poked Lin Yiyi's belly button. Speaking of which, the young wife had grown taller and gained weight, but she was still thin, especially her chest, which was not as big as a meat bun.

Xiao Yu held the person in his arms, a small ball, like a young lady. He rested his chin on Lin Yiyi's shoulder, buried his head in her neck, and sniffed her fragrance. The more he sniffed, the more excited he became.

Lin Yiyi grabbed his messy hands and asked, "What are you doing?" His hands were big, and his fingers were long but also a bit thick. He poked her belly button. Didn't it hurt?

Xiao Yu: “No.” He was just bored and looking for something to do.

Lin Yiyi turned around and looked at him.

Xiao Yu looked at her with an innocent face, then suddenly pounced on her and pressed her hard under him. He didn't say a word, just pressed her under the quilt, making her uncomfortable.

Lin Yiyi: "You are too heavy, get down quickly."

Xiao Yu: "The police station arrested two criminals today."

Lin Yiyi: “Come down and talk.”

Xiao Yu didn't come down: "The two prisoners are a man and a woman, but they are not husband and wife. The man is a worker and married, and the woman is a married woman. This case was reported by the woman's mother-in-law. Do you know what they were doing when they were caught?"
