Lin Yiyi: "Xiaowu is still young, so we can use the foundation of the old house. When Xiaowu grows up and wants to build a house, Dajun will have earned enough salary."

The captain's wife: "It looks like you have arranged everything."

It was not arranged, four brothers and four foundations, it was just right.

Lin Yiyi said, "It just so happens that everyone is not working right now, so I can ask everyone to help. When the time comes, I'll ask Auntie to help me cook and save face."

The captain's wife: "Are you building three houses at once?"

Lin Yiyi: "Yes, the commune will transport the bricks, so we can build it all at once, saving the trouble for the commune. Dajun is 15 this year, and he will be 16 after the Chinese New Year. Sanjun is 14 this year, and Sijun is 12. Time flies. Auntie, when Dajun is 18, let him and Xiaozhen get married. What do you think?" In this era, people get married at the age of 17 or 18. Lin Yiyi doesn't want to use the modern tricks to delay Lin Dajun and Lin Zhen's marriage. Lin Dajun may be able to delay, but Lin Zhen can't. Even if she is doing it for Lin Zhen's good, in this matter, she is also doing bad things with good intentions. So, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. According to the times, let Lin Dajun and Lin Zhen get married when they are 18 years old.

The captain's wife said, "Okay, okay, of course, I'll follow your decision." The new house has been built, and her daughter can live in the new house as soon as she arrives. Her daughter is still lucky. When the husband is a worker, she can do some easy work even if she goes to work. The captain's wife did not think of stopping her daughter from working, but just wanted her daughter to do some easy work. Although she still has to take care of several younger brothers, when the brothers grow up, why do they need her daughter to take care of them? The only one who needs to be taken care of is probably the fifth child.

However, there is one thing that the captain's wife feels she should be more careful about. Lin Yiyi, the elder sister-in-law, is easy to get along with. It is still unknown what the wives of the Third Army and the Fourth Army will think of them. So when the Third Army and the Fourth Army get married, she has to watch them carefully and find out more about their temper and personality. This will also help give Lin Yiyi some advice.

Lin Yiyi would definitely be grateful if she knew what she was thinking, because she probably couldn't find out as much as the captain's wife.

The two chatted for a while, and then the captain's wife took Lin Zhen away. Lin Yiyi took two pounds of meat and a rib to Doctor Lin's house.

Doctor Lin was also there at this time. Almost all the people in the village went to open up wasteland today, and Doctor Lin's family was no exception. Doctor Lin saw Lin Yiyi coming and smiled and said, "Are the pigs out of the pen?" He was one of the people who knew about the pigs' situation. When he came back from the land reclamation today, he also heard everyone talking about the piglets being out of the pen. He was happy for Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi handed the thing in her hand to Qiu: "It's out of the cage. This is the meat rewarded by the commune. Doctor Lin, please don't be polite to me."

Doctor Lin thought the meat was a bit too much. If it was a pound, he would not be polite, but it was not this much.

Lin Yiyi said, "Take it. If I catch a cold in the future, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me. Besides, this is a reward from the commune, and we didn't buy it with money. Besides, you take the piglet to the doctor every month, but it's all for free."

Doctor Lin said, "Then I won't be polite. What does the commune say about the piglet's condition?"

Lin Yiyi told the story of selling the Piglet Notes and building the house. There was nothing to hide. When the commune sent bricks, everyone in the village would know. As for how much she got from the sale, she also told him that even if the bricks were provided by the commune, she would need money to approve the foundation and hire someone to build the house. After all the calculations, she would have to pay at least 300 yuan. This money came from an honest source, so she was not afraid of others being jealous.

Doctor Lin said, "That would be great. Living in a brick house would be very grand."

Lin Yiyi said, "I have introduced a job to you. It is likely to work out, but I didn't ask you what you think beforehand. If you don't want to go, I will reject you when the time comes."

Lin Yiyi added: "The commune will open a pig farm in the future. I will introduce you as the piglet instructor."

Doctor Lin laughed out loud, and even Mrs. Qiu laughed. How could they refuse such a good thing? To put it bluntly, being a doctor in the countryside is like being a barefoot doctor. How can a worker have the face to do that?

Doctor Lin said, "I won't be polite. I accept this favor." He really didn't expect such a good thing to happen. As a doctor, he came to see the piglets every month just out of curiosity. Of course, on the other hand, Xiao Yu was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. He thought it was just a favor and a relationship. But he didn't expect Lin Yiyi to repay him like this. Sure enough, good deeds are rewarded.

Lin Yiyi came out of Doctor Lin's house. Doctor Lin and Mrs. Qiu were still talking, and both of them were sighing at Lin Yiyi's kindness.

The Lin family prepared to eat braised pork, egg soup, and some stir-fried vegetables in the evening. The five siblings were preparing to eat when the sound of a bicycle sounded in the yard. The fifth brother Lin, also known as Xiao Yuleda, immediately called out, "Brother-in-law is here." He was originally in the kitchen watching his sister cook, and he ran out immediately.

The other brothers in the kitchen also ran out, and sure enough, Xiao Yu came.

It was a hot day, the man was sweating, his shirt was sticking to his body, and his strong upper body muscles were faintly visible. Lin Yiyi also came out, and when she saw Xiao Yu, she smiled: "Why are you here?" That smile was as sweet as it could be, different from the sweet smile she had used to deliberately flirt with him before. The smile now was the joy of seeing a man and the happiness in her eyes.

Modern people call it dog food.

Fifth Brother Lin: "Brother-in-law, hold me."

Xiao Yu picked up Lin Wudi and held him high up. He then said to Lin Yiyi, "Dad is off work and told me about what happened here. I came to take a look. Dad said that when the two pigs were released from the pen today, there was a commotion in the commune."

Lin Yiyi said: "Yes, the commune also gave a reward." Then she poured him a glass of cold water and then talked about the commune's rewards.

They had dinner at the Lin family, and in the evening, Xiao Yu and Lin Yiyi returned to the county town.

After returning to the county, Lin Yiyi did not sleep. She reorganized Lin Dajun's pig-raising notes. After all, Lin Dajun's handwriting was really unreadable.

After finishing her notes, she started to draw the blueprints of modern commercial housing. Lin Yiyi couldn't draw other people's blueprints, so she followed her own blueprints. In the countryside at that time, there were no two-story buildings. They were basically adobe houses. It was considered very good to have a green brick house. This also showed that the estimated area of ​​the land that could be approved in the countryside was not small, because some families had many children and they all had one-story houses, so the foundation would be larger.

Lin Yiyi didn't know how much land the captain would approve, but she first decided based on the area of ​​her modern home, which was about 170 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen. If the area was not enough, one living room could be removed, and there was no need to separate the dining room and the guest room. One bathroom could be removed, because there was no sewer in the countryside, so the bathroom here was only used for bathing, and another household toilet had to be built outside for going to the toilet, raising pigs, and storing miscellaneous items. In this way, 150 square meters would be enough. But because the rooms in her own home are relatively large, if the land is less than 150 square meters, the room area can be reduced. Many families can design three bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom with an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

Lin Dajun, Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun, the three houses are designed exactly the same. As for Lin Wudi, he lived with his eldest brother when he was young. When he grows up, he will definitely go to college. The houses at that time were different from modern houses. Let's talk about how they will be built at that time.

It is better for Lin Wudi to live with Lin Dajun. Lin Dajun is a simple-minded person, and Lin Zhen has the captain's wife there, so they will definitely not have any objections to Lin Wudi. As for Lin Sanjun's wife and Lin Sijun's wife, Lin Yiyi, I can't guarantee it.

She felt that she was a bit like their mother, and she had already made up her mind that if her brother's wife did not please her, she would not want her brother either.

The three brothers of the Lin family don't know yet that their eldest sister is mentally prepared to abandon them at any time. If she knew, they probably wouldn't even dare to marry a wife.

After everything was designed, it was almost 12 o'clock, and Lin Yiyi hurried to sleep. As soon as she got into bed, she was held in someone's arms.

Lin Yiyi pushed him away: "It's so hot, it's sticky."

Xiao-Woo: "Once, one week."

Lin Yiyi: "... Let's talk about it in two days. I have to go to the commune to sign the agreement tomorrow."

Xiao Yu: "...Can you make up for it?" Not once this week.

Lin Yiyi: “…Okay.”

Xiao Yu was satisfied and a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Yiyi: "Do you have any acquaintances going to Shanghai? I want an electric fan." Otherwise it would be really hot.

Xiao-Woo: "Let me ask."

Lin Yiyi: "I'll also ask the editor at the publishing house to see if they can get fans in big cities."

Of course, Lin Yiyi would not ask. You have to know that in this era, owning an electric fan was rarer than owning a bicycle, just like modern people owning an airplane. The next day, she looked at electric fans from the 1960s in the system mall. When she was looking at the details page of the electric fan, she saw the detailed introduction of this company. Among them was a Watson brand electric fan, which was founded in 1916. Now it is 1962, so using this brand of electric fan will not attract attention.

Lin Yiyi also looked at the electric fan. This electric fan is not much different from a floor fan. The difference is that one is a floor fan with a longer pole, while the other is a sitting fan placed on a bed, stool, or table, with a very short pole in the middle. There is only one white twist on the electric fan, and all the switch positions are there, unlike the current ones, where each position is separate. The electric fan is light blue, similar to sky blue, but the three blades are royal blue. Lin Yiyi saw the note here, saying that this is the style of the 1950s and 1960s, and she was very satisfied.

She decided to buy it in two days.

Sunshine Commune

President Cheng really likes Lin Yiyi's work efficiency. They just had a preliminary talk about it yesterday, and today Lin Yiyi has sorted out the notes on raising piglets. If everyone is as efficient as her, there is no need to worry about their commune not developing better.

The subsequent negotiations went very smoothly, and the two signed an agreement, one representing the commune and the other representing the Lin family. After signing the agreement, Lin Yiyi also received 600 yuan, 60 ten-yuan notes, which was considered a thick stack.

President Cheng: "By the way, Comrade Yi Yi, we all tasted the pork yesterday. This pork tastes really good, without any strange smell at all."

Director Yang followed up, "That's right. We have also hired several butchers. They are all veterans and they all say that pork is delicious. If our commune's pig farm is opened, the business will definitely be good."

Lin Yiyi: "It is because the president leads us ordinary people and cares about us ordinary people that the commune can develop well."

Director Yang: "Comrade Lin Yiyi is right. If it weren't for the president's wise leadership, we wouldn't be where we are today."

Even the most fair-minded cadres like to hear nice words. There is some truth in this saying. President Cheng is sincerely doing things for the people, but... he also likes to hear nice words.

After finishing the work at the commune, Lin Yiyi returned to the Lin family. The Lin brothers went to open up wasteland on their private plots. Lin Yiyi bought some iced green bean soup from the system mall, poured it into a hot water pot, picked up a basket and put a bowl in it, and then went to the Lin family's private plot.

The three younger brothers were all working hard to plow the land. It was very hard work to open up the mountain land because the land was relatively hard and there were many stones in it, so they had to pick out the stones when they were clearing the land.

Among the four brothers of the Lin family, the biggest laborer is Lin Sanjun, who is the tallest and strongest. Lin Sijun is a soy sauce maker, and he takes Lin Wudi to weed and pick up stones in the back. It is not easy for four brothers to divide four acres of land.

Lin Yiyi looked at them from a distance, and was shocked. Recalling what these brothers were like when she first came to this world? Oh, these brothers were calculating the blood of this body. Now look at them, working hard, studying hard, all because of food and poverty.

Lin Yiyi: "The first army, the third army, the fourth army, and the fifth army."

As soon as she screamed, her brothers heard it and stopped immediately.

"Big sister..." Lin Wudi ran over quickly. The four-year-old boy had unsteady steps and staggered when he ran, which made Lin Yiyi worried, but fortunately he did not fall.

There were other people's private plots next to the Lin family's private plot, so everyone naturally saw Lin Yiyi and greeted her warmly.

"Is Yi Yi here?"

"What delicious food did you bring?"

"Yi Yi is really good to his brothers."

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "My brother is young, and he needs a few uncles, aunts and grandparents to take care of him."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, you brought us water. I'm thirsty. Is it well water? I want to drink well water." The well water is cool, as if it has been iced. It is so refreshing to drink well water in summer.
