Lin Yiyi looked at Qin Xiangju's somewhat disappointed expression, took her arm and analyzed: "Mom, I think, if I work hard this year and let the leaders of the commune see my good side, then when I start working on getting pregnant next year, they won't fire me just because I'm pregnant. After all, after seeing my work efficiency, they will definitely want to keep me. Mom, what do you think?" She said in a soft and coquettish voice.
Xiao Yu saw it and couldn't help but think that his wife wasn't this gentle when she spoke to him.
What could Qin Xiangju do? To put it bluntly, the position of a commune official was simply a matter of face and a little power. Who wouldn't want it? Besides, it was already July, and my daughter-in-law had made it clear that it was time to get pregnant. She would first perform in the commune for a year. She had waited for so long, what else was there to do?
Let's take a step back. If the couple didn't want to get pregnant, there was nothing she could do, right? So the daughter-in-law discussed it with me, and it was obvious that my son had already agreed. Besides, my son is only 25 years old. People can still have children at the age of 35, so what's 25 years old?
Besides, the 25-year-old is the son, not the daughter-in-law. If the daughter-in-law is 25, she may still worry that she can't have children. But what should the son worry about when he is 25?
In everyone's mind, or in the minds of people of this generation, it is generally believed that women cannot have children when they get older, and people have never thought about the problem of men.
At this moment, Qin Xiangju felt that the big age difference between her son and daughter-in-law was a good thing.
Putting this aside, Qin Xiangju couldn't help but feel happy after she figured it out: "Yiyi, you are going to work in the commune, should we celebrate?"
Lin Yiyi said: "There is no need to invite relatives, lest people think we are showing off. Once I have secured my position as a commune official, everyone will know indirectly. Besides, I can't compare with Brother Yu as a commune official. When Brother Yu went to the Public Security Bureau, our family didn't celebrate. But it was a bad year, so I thought, why don't we host the second branch and invite the whole family to have a meal together." In front of the mother-in-law, one must always praise the husband, because in the mother's heart, her son is just an ant, and the most powerful ant, who may one day be able to pry the elephant off.
Xiao Yu, who had a hope of prying the elephant, watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law start to discuss the issue of eating. He felt that he was no longer needed here. His wife was really amazing. She could always coax his mother, just like when he was a child, his mother coaxed his grandmother.
Finally, Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju set a date for Xiao Huang to send the sea
The day after fresh.
Qin Xiangju: "I'll make noodle soup for lunch later. Why don't you eat here?" After the second house was built, they rarely ate here. Every time they came back, they would stay overnight, but they also stayed in their own new house.
Lin Yiyi: "No need, mother. Let's go back and eat. Why don't you eat at our place?"
Qin Xiangju said, "No, no, I won't bother you two."
Lin Yiyi smiled and left with Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu: "Mrs. Xiao, I really admire you."
Lin Yiyi: "It's because Mr. Xiao taught well." Speaking of teaching, this year was very hard for her. In order to finish high school in one year, she worked day and night and showed the perseverance of participating in marathon long-distance running. Finally, she graduated successfully. Although her grades are not very good, they will not be written on her diploma.
Xiao Yu looked at her and smiled helplessly.
When they got home, Lin Yiyi urged: "Go light the fire, I'll go wash the rice."
Xiao-Woo: "Okay, what to cook?"
Lin Yiyi: "Let's cook fried rice with eggs and add some dried vegetable soup." The eggs were brought by the younger brother of the Lin family. There were about 20 eggs. The Lin family raised 8 hens. The four brothers ate one egg a day, and there were still four eggs left every day. Even if there were less, there would still be 2 eggs left. There were 60 eggs a month. They would give about 20 eggs to Lin Yiyi every month, and take the rest to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for money. It's not that they were stingy and only gave about 20 eggs, because eggs don't last long. The eggs they took over had been stored for a few days. They were all saved. If they gave too many, Lin Yiyi would keep them for too long and they would go bad. The dried vegetables were dried wild vegetables that Grandma Xiao dried. Now that they have their own plots, not many people will go to pick wild vegetables. Grandma Xiao is free on weekdays, so she will pick wild vegetables and dry them. The old man has experienced famine before, and even now he feels uneasy, so he stores the dried wild vegetables. If famine comes again, he can use them in soup or as food.
Later, Grandma Xiao found out that Lin Yiyi liked to use dried vegetables in soup, so she sent handfuls of them to their home.
Lin Yiyi likes to drink dried vegetable soup. Beat an egg and it tastes very delicious, just like seaweed soup. Sometimes, soak the dried vegetables in water until soft, then stir-fry them with oil, then beat an egg, and scramble the dried vegetables with eggs, which is also delicious.
Lin Yiyi: "We still have some bacon that Dajun brought at home. The bacon and egg fried rice must taste great." The Lin family brothers are well-known "golden turtle son-in-law" in the surrounding area. The four brothers have separated from the family. Each brother raises a fat pig. They eat all the eggs they raise, so the brothers have taken good care of themselves. In addition, Lin Yiyi occasionally
Help me, my little life is going very well. Their tuition fees came from selling their previous pig-raising skills, and they saved their own work points, even though they were very small. The grain exchanged for work points plus the grain from the private land is more than enough to support themselves. Lin Yiyi no longer needs to support them in terms of grain.
In addition, eggs and pork can be exchanged for food, so the Lin brothers are regarded as "golden turtle sons-in-law" in everyone's eyes. In fact, this is also a one-person meal for the whole family. However, Lin Dajun has been engaged. He is 16 years old this year and will get married in two years. Everyone feels sorry for him. However, engagement is not marriage, so in school, there are still girls who will flatter him, or to put it bluntly, seduce Lin Dajun. However, Lin Dajun remembered the incident of hitting the porcelain that his sister told him very well, so even if a girl fell in front of him, he would not help her up.
No one dares to touch Lin Sanjun. He is young, has a calm temperament, and has a pair of mature eyes. At the age of 15, everyone thinks that he will be a figure in the future. He has a good sister. If he can help him in the future, he will have a bright future.
No one had any idea about 12-year-old Lin Sijun and 5-year-old Lin Wudi. Lin Sijun was a man of sharp tongue and merciless in words. He also remembered clearly what his sister said. Unlike Lin Dajun who remembered the fraud incident, he remembered a quarrel between brothers. But quarreling requires the use of mouths, so Lin Sijun had to practice quarreling with his mouth from time to time to avoid getting rusty from not using it for too long.
From what we can see now, apart from the relatively normal Lin Sanjun, and the still-child Lin Wudi, the other two brothers of the Lin family have already developed on the path of "extreme quality" and there is no turning back.
After lunch, Xiao Yu washed the dishes and then filled the water tank at home. From today on, they will live in the countryside. In the past, during the summer and winter vacations, Lin Yiyi would send Lin Wudi back to the Lin family to let him get along with his brothers and let him know what ordinary people in the countryside would do. Now that Lin Yiyi has come to the countryside by herself, she plans to send Lin Wudi to the nursery in Datang Brigade.
Lin Yiyi had her reasons for planning to live in the countryside. First, the houses in the countryside had been built and she could live comfortably there. Second, the countryside was more lively than the county town. In the county town, her only good friend was Grandma Wang. There were too many gossips in the countryside. Third, she was going to work in the commune and she needed to understand the 13 brigades under the Sunshine Commune. It was not easy to understand them if she lived in the county town, but it was more convenient to understand them if she lived in the countryside.
Lin Yiyi planned to live in the countryside, so Xiao Yu would naturally follow her. After all, riding a bicycle for 40 minutes was just like going to the countryside.
By the way, he can also give his father a ride on his way to work every day.
Xiao Yu fetched some water and went for a nap. Lin Yiyi began to wipe every corner of the house as a way to help digest the food.
"Second sister-in-law... Second sister-in-law..." After a while, Liang's voice was heard outside the yard.
Lin Yiyi was cleaning the study, so she came to the window and said, "I'm here." Their house had three bedrooms and a living room, and she had turned one of the rooms into a study. Most farmers don't use a study, but Xiao Yu is different. He has work to do, so he needs a study.
Liang came in carrying a basket and leading Jixiang.
Speaking of Little Jixiang, he was born at the end of 1962, with a one-month difference between his birthday and the Chinese New Year. In July this year, he will be 20 months old, or two years old. After two years of care, the little guy has grown up healthily. Xiao Bin and Liang Shi only have one son, and they never lack him in food. They couldn't afford a can of milk powder every month, so they changed to a can of milk powder every six months. They still asked Lin Yiyi for milk powder. The couple took the eggs to Brother Wang to exchange for money, and then exchanged the money with Lin Yiyi for milk powder. At the end of the year, the money for the eggs was only enough to exchange for two cans of milk powder. When there was no milk powder, they exchanged rice noodles for their son. So Little Jixiang was really well raised.
You know, when Lin Wudi was only two years old, he was not as tall as Xiao Jixiang, and he was skinny and looked like a monkey. At that time, Lin Yiyi had just traveled through time and when she saw Lin Wudi, she felt that this child was pitiful.
"Second Aunt." Xiao Jixiang called out to Lin Yiyi in a very obedient manner when he saw her. He was very close to Lin Yiyi, firstly because Liang often lectured him, and secondly because every month when Xiao Bin and Liang went to the county town to exchange eggs, they would send some vegetables to Lin Yiyi, and then they would sit in the county town for a while, and Lin Yiyi would give Xiao Jixiang delicious food, so the little guy remembered Lin Yiyi.
Regardless of whether the third wife came to the county town every month for other purposes, Lin Yiyi didn't care. She didn't lack food anyway, and the third wife and husband were nice people. Every time they came, they would bring some vegetables or other things, such as seasonal lobsters, snails, and loaches. When they brought them, the couple handled them cleanly and attentively.
Lin Yiyi touched Xiao Jixiang's head and said, "Xiao Jixiang has grown taller again. Did you eat well?"
