Lin Yiyi explained: "God's will means that you are not allowed to help. If there is a quota in our county next year and he can be selected, then let him join the army. Otherwise, he cannot go. Let God's will and his own ability decide."

Xiao Yu thought that if there were vacancies next year, Lin Sanjun would definitely be selected with his physique. In the past few years, this kid has never stopped training. This kind of perseverance is what the military needs. However, he knew that his wife was worried about her brother, so he didn't say much.

On Sunday, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu got up early in the morning. They were going to visit Xiao Yu's grandmother.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Lin Yiyi said to Lin Sijun: "Sijun, you have to take good care of Xiaowu. My sister and brother-in-law are going to visit grandma."

Lin Sijun: “I know.”

Lin Wudi: "I will be good."

Lin Yiyi pinched Lin Wudi's face and said, "Why don't I believe what you said?"

Brother Lin Wu said, "I have always been a good kid. I am the best kid."

Lin Yiyi: "Then be good. When I come back, I will tell you new stories, stories you have never heard before."

Brother Lin Wu, who loved listening to stories and telling them to others, stood up immediately and said, "Yes, sir."

Lin Yiyi looked at Lin Sanjun again: "Sanjun, I thought about it all night yesterday. I have thought it through about your desire to join the army."

Lin Sanjun looked at Lin Yiyi. Although he didn't say anything, he looked a little excited.

Lin Yiyi knew that he was anxious to know, so she didn't waste any more words and said directly: "Sanjun, you will be 16 years old next year. If our county has a recruitment quota and you can pass the assessment, I will let you go, but I have a condition."

Lin Sanjun: "What conditions?"

Lin Yiyi said, "You will graduate from elementary school next year. What can you do after graduating from elementary school except being able to recognize a few words? My condition is that if you are selected, you have to promise me that you will complete junior high school knowledge within five years." Junior high school is three years, and the normal time is to complete three years of knowledge within three years, but she took into account that if Lin Sanjun joined the army, he might need training, so she gave him five years.

Lin Sanjun: "I will definitely do it."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, but if there are no recruitment quotas in our county next year, then you can't join the army."

Lin Sanjun looked at Xiao Yu subconsciously.

Xiao Yu was silent.

Lin Sanjun hesitated to speak.

Lin Yiyi said: "If there is no recruitment in our county,

There is nothing we can do about the quota, so what do you say?"

Lin Sanjun: “Yes.”

Lin Yiyi: "So, let's let the country decide. If there is a quota, you have a chance. If there is no quota..."

Lin Sanjun: "If there are no quotas next year, what if there are quotas the year after?"

Lin Yiyi was stunned. She didn't expect him to be so resolute. Lin Yiyi sighed: "If you have a quota before you are 18, you can participate. If you have a quota after you are 18, then you should give up. You are 18 years old, you are old, and you have to get married, so you can't be willful anymore."

Lin Sanjun: "Okay." 16, 17, 18, a total of three years. He knew his sister didn't want him to go, but she gave him three years, which was enough. "Thank you, sister."

Lin Yiyi: "Then my sister and brother-in-law left."

Lin Sanjun: “Yeah.”

Xiao Yu rode his bicycle and took Lin Yiyi to the Dongshan Village Production Brigade. When passing by the Hongcha Production Brigade, Xiao Yu said, "Did you see that? The tea trees on the entire hillside are all from the Hongcha Production Brigade. So much mountain land is used to grow tea, so the Hongcha Production Brigade has less mountain land to grow crops."

Lin Yiyi: "Then we can open up the wasteland. After that, there will be more mountains."

Xiao Yu: "It's useless to reclaim more mountain land. They have to pick tea leaves. No matter how many mountains and crops they have, they don't have enough time. Picking tea leaves is work, and planting and harvesting crops is also work. To them, it's all the same, but tea leaves are passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors, so they are reluctant to cut the tea leaves."

Lin Yiyi couldn't understand, what could be more important than having enough to eat? However, everyone had different ideas, and she couldn't comment.

When they arrived at the Dongshan Village Production Brigade, the two went directly to the Qin family.

August is a season of leisure for farmers. There is no need to plant crops or harvest food, so many people are either busy with their private plots or doing odd jobs. Many people also rest at home. So when Xiao Yu and Lin Yiyi came to the Qin family, they saw many people on the road.

For example, Aunt Qin II saw it and said, "Xiao Yu'er, Yi Yi, why are you here?"

Xiao Yu stopped his bike and Lin Yiyi got off the bike: "Second aunt."

Xiao Yu: "Second aunt."

Aunt Qin saw the things on the bicycle and said to Lin Yiyi with a smile, "Hey."

Lin Yiyi: "We are here to visit grandma. I wonder if she is home."

Aunt Qin said, "Your grandmother may be out picking wild vegetables at this time. I'll go with you to take a look."

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

Aunt Qin: "That's right, you two have proposed to Yuanyuan. I heard that he is a police officer. I met him once. He is quite handsome and tall."

Lin Yiyi said: "Yes, he is Brother Yu's colleague."

Aunt Qin: "Yiyi, when our Lanhua grows up, please help find a marriage for her."

Lin Yiyi: “Orchid?”

Qin's second aunt: "She is my granddaughter, she is 11 years old this year."

Lin Yiyi: “…That’s still too early.” Asking her to arrange a marriage for an 11-year-old girl was also a shame for Second Aunt Qin to think so far ahead.

While they were talking, they arrived at Grandma Qin's house.

Qin Yuanyuan was cutting pig grass. When she saw them coming, she hurried over and said, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, you are here?"

Lin Yiyi: "Come and see grandma, isn't she here?"

Qin Yuanyuan: "Grandma is out picking wild vegetables." The old lady couldn't sit still. Picking wild vegetables wasn't tiring anyway, so the family let her do what she wanted. "You guys sit for a while. I'll go get grandma."

Lin Yiyi said: "Okay."

Qin Yuanyuan poured tea for Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu and went to call people.

Grandma Qin was digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. She didn't go far, so Qin Yuanyuan found her quickly: "Grandma, my second cousin and his wife are here to see you."

Grandma Qin: "Is Xiaoyuer here?"

Qin Yuanyuan: “Yes.”

Grandma Qin: "Go, go, go, go home quickly." She said, walking faster than Qin Yuanyuan. Some elderly people love their grandsons, some love their grandsons-in-law, and Grandma Qin is one of them. It's not that she doesn't love her grandson, but her grandson can see her every day, and the more he sees her, the more he dislikes her.

Before Grandma Qin even reached the door of her house, she was already shouting inside: "Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er's wife..."

Xiao Yu hurried over and said, "Grandma," and supported the old lady.

Grandma Qin looked at him with red eyes: "You came to see grandma? I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came." Among the three grandchildren, she liked Xiao Yu the most. As the saying goes, the crying child gets the candy. Xiao Yu was smart when he was a child and he knew how to coax people. In addition, he was a dragon and phoenix twin, so the elders in the family loved him.

However, after attending military school and then joining the army, the child who used to be able to coax people has grown up, and now it is difficult to get him to speak.

Xiao Yu: "I am unfilial for visiting grandma only now." He hadn't seen grandma for a long time, about a year. The last time he saw her was when the new house had a wedding banquet. It's not his fault. Nowadays, if there is no big event, people don't visit relatives too much. If they do visit relatives, it's Qin Xiangju who comes to visit. Xiao Yu, a son,

The son will not come.

Grandma Qin: "You are a police officer, a good comrade of the people. You are busy, and grandma knows it."

Xiao Yu felt ashamed. Even if he was busy, he should have time to visit his grandmother.

Xiao Yu: "My wife bought you some biscuits and milk powder. She became a commune official. Originally, we wanted to celebrate and set up two tables, but since it's been so long, we decided not to do it. It also saves everyone the trouble of going back and forth."

Grandma Qin: "Yi Yi, you are so polite. I am old, why would I want to eat this? These are the foods that you young people like to eat. You can take them back and eat them yourself."

Lin Yiyi: "Just soak the milk powder. It can be drunk by both the old and the young. The young can grow up well after drinking it, and the old can stay healthy after drinking it. It's people like us who don't need to drink it. Grandma, you drink the milk powder and stay healthy, then we'll be happy."

Xiao-Woo: "Yeah."

Aunt Qin thought to herself that Xiaoyuer's daughter-in-law was really good at talking.

Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu sat with Grandma Qin for a while and then left. Grandma Qin wanted to keep them for lunch, but they refused.

August 20, Sunshine Commune.

Lin Yiyi: "Boss, everything is ready, we can go now."

President Cheng: "Okay, let's go."

Lin Yiyi, President Cheng, and Director Yang went to the countryside to attend classes at the Illiteracy Class. There were 13 locations for the Illiteracy Class, and they went to two locations a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It took them 7 days to finish attending classes at all 13 locations.

After listening to it, it was already the end of August.

At the commune's month-end summary meeting, President Cheng talked about the anti-blindness class. The successful holding of the anti-blindness class made President Cheng and the commune cadres feel very happy, after all, this was also a major event for the commune.

At the end of September, the county head praised President Cheng at a meeting of all the commune presidents. Although President Cheng cannot be said to have made great contributions to the establishment of the Yangguang Commune, he did do good things for the people of Yangguang Commune.

President Cheng also brought back the flag of reward from the county government to the commune.

Lin Yiyi: "This flag is a recognition of our commune by the county government." Lin Yiyi looked at the wall of the president's office and said, "Let's hang it here. It's very conspicuous and there's plenty of space here."

President Cheng: “Why choose such a big location?” This is the first banner of the county government to reward their commune. It is not only the pride of President Cheng, but also the pride of the entire Sunshine Commune.

Lin Yiyi: "This is a good location.

This is the first flag of our commune. There will be more and more similar rewards in the future, so we left a large space to hang more rewards. "

After hearing this, President Cheng laughed out loud: "Not bad, not bad, Yiyi, you have this realization, it's great, we should continue to receive the banners of rewards from the county government." After tasting the sweetness once, of course he wanted to do it a second time and a third time. "Yiyi, you may not know that in the past commune presidents' meetings, our Yangguang Commune was always at the bottom, and no other communes stood out. This time is different. I am happy to see those presidents looking at me with envy and jealousy."

Lin Yiyi said: "Our commune will get better and better in the future."

President Cheng: "Not bad, our commune will get better and better in the future."

Lin Yiyi hung up the flag and checked the time. It was time to get off work. She said, "President, I don't have anything else to do for now. I'm going to get off work first."

President Cheng: "Go ahead."

Lin Yiyi pushed her bicycle out of the commune and saw Xiao Yu waiting there: "Have you been waiting for a long time?" She was a few minutes later than usual.

Xiao-Woo: "No."

Lin Yiyi: "Today the president went to the county government for a meeting. The county government awarded our commune with a banner to commend our commune for its good development. Everyone is very happy."

Xiao Yu: "Our commune has indeed developed well in the past two years." At least there was nothing so outstanding before. However, in Xiao Yu's view, what he saw was not the good development of the commune, but the intelligence of his wife.

Lin Yiyi was also happy to hear his recognition. She didn't think she was that great. She just relied on the wisdom of her predecessors. She was just happy for the commune, just like anyone who goes to work and gets rewarded by the government will of course be happy.

Xiao Yu: "It's your birthday in a few days, we can go get the marriage certificate."

Lin Yiyi: “…” Why is she a little nervous?

Xiao Daqiang: "You can finally get your marriage certificate, and I can finally put my mind at ease."

Xiao Yu's mouth twitched.

Lin Yiyi...she hasn't let go of her worries.

night

Xiao Yu looked at the woman lying on the other side of the bed. In the past, she would sleep very close to him, and he couldn't keep some distance from her. But today, she slept very far away from him.

Xiao Yu sneered and moved towards Lin Yiyi. When Lin Yiyi saw him move, she quickly moved away and stared at him nervously: "What are you doing?"

Xiao-Woo: "Nothing."

Lin Yiyi: "Then why are you coming closer? It's a bit hot tonight."

Jin-Woo: "I'm not hot."

Lin Yiyi: "But I'm hot."

Xiao Yu said nothing, just smiled at her.

Lin Yiyi didn't say anything either, just stared at him.

Finally, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing: "There are still 15 days left."

Lin Yiyi's heart trembled.

Xiao Yu stretched out his arms and held her in his arms: "In 15 days, it's your birthday. Did you forget?"

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Xiao Yu: "It seems you forgot, it's okay, I remember."

Lin Yiyi: “…” Please don’t remember.

Xiao Yu: "Don't worry, how could I forget my wife's birthday?"

Lin Yiyi: “…Thank you.”

Xiao-Woo: "How do you want to thank me?"

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Xiao-Woo: "I'll remind you how to thank me."

Lin Yiyi: “…”

15 days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is October 12, Lin Yiyi's birthday, and it is Saturday. Originally, Lin Yiyi was supposed to go to work, but because she and Xiao Yu had to go to get the marriage certificate, she took half a day off in the afternoon. For modern women, marriage is a very important day. If the marriage is divided into a banquet and getting the marriage certificate, then the day of getting the marriage certificate is even more important. Many people will choose to get the marriage certificate on May 20, Christmas, Christmas Eve, and of course there are also people who choose to get the marriage certificate on their birthday. Lin Yiyi chose to get the marriage certificate on her birthday. Fortunately, it was Saturday, not Sunday. Otherwise, if her birthday was on Sunday, she would not be able to get the marriage certificate.

After the two of them got their marriage certificate, Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and took the marriage certificate from Lin Yiyi. Although it was called a marriage certificate, a marriage certificate in this era was just a piece of paper.

Lin Yiyi: "What? Let me take another look. This is my first time looking at a marriage certificate."

Xiao-Woo: "This is my first time looking at a marriage certificate, too."

Lin Yiyi: "...I haven't seen it yet, give it to me quickly."

Xiao Yu gave her his marriage certificate.

Lin Yiyi: “…” This person is sick.

Xiao-Woo: "Both marriage certificates are the same."

Lin Yiyi: "There is no photo on this marriage certificate, so it is easy to forge it."

Xiao-Woo: "Who would forge a marriage certificate?"

Lin Yiyi: “I’m just saying.”

Xiao Yu held her hand and said, "Let's go."

Lin Yiyi: “Where are you going?”

Xiao Yu: "You'll know when you get there." Because both of them were registered in the county, they got the marriage certificate in the county.

Xiao Yu led Lin Yiyi through several turns and arrived in front of a store.

Lin Yiyi: “Photographing

Museum?

Xiao Yu: "Didn't you say there's no photo on the marriage certificate? Let's get the certificate today, take a photo and put it together with the marriage certificate, so that no one can impersonate you."

Lin Yiyi looked at him, smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

The weather in October was comfortable. Both of them wore white shirts and smiled as they posed in front of the camera.

Photographer: "The photos you two took are really beautiful. The lesbians are smiling happily. It's obvious that gay men treat lesbians very well."

Lin Yiyi said: "Thank you, Master, but we are an old couple. But you are right, he treats me very well."

Photographer: "Old married couple? The lesbian looks very young."

Lin Yiyi said: "We got married early, but we were not old enough at that time to get the marriage certificate. We got it today."

Photographer: "No wonder you came to take photos today, that's why. Congratulations on your marriage."

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Master."

Photographer: "Come back a week later to pick up the photos."

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Master."

After leaving the photo studio, Lin Yiyi was in such a good mood that she couldn't hide her smile. She kept looking at Xiao Yu, and the more she looked, the more she wanted to laugh. Xiao Yu, who was always calm, felt embarrassed by her gaze and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Yiyi: "I'm happy, thank you for taking me to take pictures." They took a group of photos, about ten in total. Although they were different from the photos taken at weddings in later generations, wedding photos were more gorgeous and could be used for framing. However, now these ten photos could also be used as wedding photos, and she was already very satisfied.

Xiao Yu looked at the bright smile on her face and was infected by the happiness on her face. He couldn't help but smile: "As long as you are happy."

Lin Yiyi: "I'm happy, I'm very happy, thank you."

Xiao Yu said seriously: "You don't have to thank me. It's my duty to make you happy."

Lin Yiyi: "I have to say thank you too. Thank you for being so nice to me and for making me so happy." She felt that for her, today was no different from any marriage in the future. Happiness is a matter between two people and has nothing to do with the grandness of the occasion.

Xiao-Woo: "Then how do you want to thank me?"

Lin Yiyi: "...I'll make you a delicious meal when I get home."

Xiao-Woo smiled and shook his head.

It was already four o'clock when the two returned home. When the younger brothers of the Lin family saw their sister coming back, they all looked at her with smiles. Lin Yiyi was a little confused: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Sijun said quickly: "Sister and brother-in-law got their marriage certificate today, we want to congratulate sister on her marriage.

marriage."

Lin Yiyi: "How did you learn to say such nice things?"

Lin Sijun: "I would have said that. Sister, you and brother-in-law are getting your marriage certificate today, should we cook something delicious again?"

Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes at him. It turned out that this boy wanted to eat.

Lin Sijun laughed a little shamelessly: "Don't people have to drink wedding wine when they get married?"

Lin Yiyi: "Didn't you drink at the wedding when your brother-in-law and I got married?"

Lin Sijun: "At that time, there was no food, so we ate porridge."

Lin Wudi: "I have never been to a wedding. When did my sister and brother-in-law get married?"

Lin Yiyi: "When you were... so young."

Brother Lin Wu looked at the tiny gesture and pouted, "Then I want to attend the wedding too."

Lin Yiyi: "When your eldest brother gets married, you can drink the wedding wine. Then you can drink as much as you want. Oh, and you can also go with your eldest brother to pick up the bride."

Brother Lin Wu clapped his hands: "Great, pick up the bride and drink the wedding wine."

Lin Dajun: "How does he know how to pick up the bride and attend the wedding banquet?"

Fifth Brother Lin: "I know it, Fourth Brother knows it, and I know it too."

Lin Dajun: "Just brag."

Fifth Brother Lin: “Briefly…”

Lin Sanjun stood aside and watched them. His eyes were no longer as gloomy as before, and he was also happy. Today, his sister and brother-in-law got their marriage certificate, and he was happy for his sister. But he didn't like to be in the same place, so he didn't go forward.

The dinner was naturally very sumptuous, but Lin Yiyi did not invite the Xiao family. After all, in the eyes of others, getting the marriage certificate was not something to celebrate, so they celebrated behind closed doors.

After dinner, the Lin brothers went home. Xiao Yu asked Lin Dajun to pick up Lin Wudi as well. He was going to have his wedding night today, and he couldn't let Lin Wudi stay here, lest the child suddenly have an accident and break into the room to disturb them.

Lin Yiyi didn't know what to say about this. Actually, she was looking forward to it. After all, she had lived for 28 years, had been single for 28 years, and had read a lot of pornographic novels. How could she not have some thoughts in her mind? Even when she came here, she also wanted Xiao Yu's body. However, suddenly the time came, and she was a little nervous again. Her heart beat a little fast. Thinking of what she would experience in the evening, she felt a little weak in her hands and feet, and she was disgusted that time passed too quickly.
