Lin Yiyi was stunned by Xiao Yu's behavior: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yu: "I'm worried that if I sleep too close to her, I'll press on you. It would be bad if it presses on the baby in your belly." In fact, he was also nervous. He was used to holding her when he slept. They slept in the same bed. What if they hugged each other again and accidentally pressed on the baby?

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Before Lin Yiyi could say anything, she heard Xiao Yu say, "Let's move the small bed from the study over here. I'll sleep on the small bed so I won't press on you, and I can still watch over you from inside the room."

Lin Yiyi: “…Okay.” In fact, she was a little worried herself. She was really afraid that the two of them would put pressure on the child if they slept together.

Xiao Yu got out of bed immediately: "You rest, I'll go move the bed."

After a while, he moved a small bed from the study room. Fortunately, their room was big enough to accommodate the small bed. However, after making the small bed, Xiao Yu got on the big bed again and slept next to Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi: "Don't you want to sleep in the crib?"

Xiao Yu: "Don't go to sleep now. I'll come over after you fall asleep."

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Xiao-Woo: "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

Lin Yiyi: "Son. What about you?"

Xiao-Woo: "I like daughters, but I hope you give birth to a son."

Lin Yiyi: “…Why?”

Xiao-Woo: "Because you like sons, I hope you give birth to a son."

Lin Yiyi: "I don't like sons either. I like both sons and daughters. I like my own children no matter what. I just hope to have a son."

Xiao-Woo: "Why?"

Lin Yiyi: "I'm afraid my daughter will be cheated when she grows up, and hurt by love. What if she meets a bad man and gets divorced later? If it's a son, it doesn't matter if he's a little rough. If he meets a love cheater, the man will never suffer a loss when a man and a woman are together." What she didn't say was that she was afraid that her daughter would get pregnant, and she would be worried about it. As for her son, she can be relaxed. Besides, even if her son has a wife and doesn't want her as a mother, it doesn't matter. She won't give him anything in the future and let him live with another woman. But it's not the same for her daughter. She is always worried.

The more Lin Yiyi thought about it, the more troubled she became, and she began to worry about her child's future.

Xiao Yu: "Don't worry, I will break the legs of anyone who dares to deceive my daughter."

Lin Yiyi: "What if your daughter doesn't let you hit her?

What if I cut off his legs?"

Xiao Yu: "As a father, how can I listen to her?" He can't do it in front of her, but he can hit her behind her back. Anyway, his daughter doesn't know. When it comes to playing tricks, who has he ever lost to?"

Lin Yiyi: "Who do you listen to?"

Xiao Yu, who had a strong desire to survive, immediately said: "I'll listen to you, I only listen to you." This is the true words. There is nothing wrong with a man only listening to his wife.

Lin Yiyi nodded with satisfaction: "That's about right."

After Lin Yiyi fell asleep, Xiao Yu pulled the quilt around her. He was struggling with his thoughts. He didn't want to get out of bed, but he was worried about putting pressure on his wife. Finally, he gritted his teeth and got out of bed. After getting out of bed, Xiao Yu thought, just have one child, otherwise his wife will be pregnant for ten months, and he will have to sleep in a small bed for ten months. How can he bear this? No matter how hard and tiring the training is, it is not as torturous as sleeping in separate beds.

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Yu drove Lin Yiyi to the commune first. Lin Yiyi asked for leave from President Cheng, and then went to the hospital with Xiao Yu.

There were few people in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, and Lin Yiyi's examination was over quickly. Generally speaking, although Lin Yiyi caught a cold, her body was still very healthy, so there was no big problem. The doctor prescribed medicine, but the doctor only supported drinking the isatis root powder and ginger brown sugar water, saying that as long as you don't drink too much, it will not affect your body or the baby. Besides, how could Lin Yiyi drink too much?

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Yu sent Lin Yiyi home, but they passed by the commune, so they went there for a while.

Xiao Daqiang: "How is Yiyi?" Xiao Daqiang walked to work by himself. His son had to take his daughter-in-law to the hospital, so he walked. In fact, Xiao Daqiang preferred walking. Walking for forty minutes to go to work, what's that?

Lin Yiyi: "It's nothing, just a mild cold. The doctor said I'm already a month pregnant, so it's okay to take medicine occasionally."

Xiao Daqiang said: "That's good, that's good."

After saying hello to Xiao Daqiang, Xiao Yu sent Lin Yiyi home. However, when he arrived at the village gate, he saw Qin Xiangju sitting at the village gate chatting with a few women. It is almost the New Year, the season of leisure for farmers, and everyone has nothing to do. Isn't this the best day to chat?

Seeing her daughter-in-law and son coming back, Qin Xiangju immediately went over, grabbing a handful of pumpkin seeds in her hand: "How is it?"

Lin Yiyi knew that she was asking about her pregnancy, so she said, "She is indeed pregnant."

Qin Xiangju was very happy when she heard this: "That's good, that's good... How is your health?

? "Indeed, in Qin Xiangju's view, a cold is a minor illness. If it happens to an ordinary family, even if they are pregnant and catch a cold, it is not a big deal. Only people like Lin Yiyi who are in good condition would be a little more exaggerated and go to the hospital.

If it was Qi Bocai or Liang's today, I would go to Dr. Lin to get some medicine and take it.

But it was different when she met Lin Yiyi. Qin Xiangju didn't think her daughter-in-law was pretentious, mainly because of her son. She had to be careful about everything for the son of her son whom she doted on too much.

"Xiangju, Yiyi is not working today?"

"Yeah, Xiangju, your second son isn't at work either?"

Qin Xiangju: "Isn't it? Yiyi in our family is pregnant. We went to the hospital for a checkup today." What do you mean you can't talk about a three-month pregnancy? This is feudal and ancient thinking. There is no such thing now. Now that Lin Yiyi is pregnant, Qin Xiangju's back is straight. Before, although some unpleasant words did not reach their family, she also knew that some people who were jealous of their family were not quiet behind their backs. Now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant, she can't help but vent her anger.

Someone said, "Oh, this child is really good at choosing a good date. She is pregnant now and will be born in October next year, when the weather is just right and cool."

Qin Xiangju: "That's right, it's comfortable for the mother to be in confinement after childbirth, otherwise it would be too hot in the summer."

"Who says it's not?"

Qin Xiangju chatted with everyone for a few words before following Lin Yiyi and the others over, following them all the way into the house: "Yiyi is pregnant, are you still going to work?"

Lin Yiyi: "I'm at work, what do you want to say?"

Qin Xiangju: "I'm just worried that you'll be too tired at work."

Lin Yiyi: "No, mom. I'll ask for leave when I'm about to give birth." Although there is no maternity leave in this era, one advantage of this era is that regular employees will not be fired at will.

Qin Xiangju: "That's good, that's good. Then I will cook for you in the future? It's too tiring for you to cook after get off work." Qin Xiangju obviously forgot that other people's daughters-in-law have to go to work even if they are pregnant. But Qin Xiangju never asks her pregnant daughter-in-law to go to work. To put it bluntly, even if you don't care about your daughter-in-law, you should at least care about the grandson in her belly, right? But some families are like this.

Lin Yiyi was more than happy to do so: "Thank you, Mom." She was lucky to have a meal right after work. Besides, her mother-in-law cooked delicious meals. How could she refuse?

Qin Xiangju: "I'll start cooking at noon."

Lin Yiyi: “Hey.”

Qin Xiang

Ju: "If you need to wash clothes or bed sheets in the future, tell me and I'll do it."

Lin Yiyi: “Thank you, Mom.” Because she was pregnant, she really couldn’t squat down to wash clothes. Except for her underwear, she originally wanted her brother Yu to wash the rest, but her mother-in-law was too nice.

Qin Xiangju: "What do you want to eat for lunch? Oh, you're still sick, so you should continue to eat porridge for lunch. I'll make you some radish fried eggs with rice porridge. It tastes great."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, thank you, mom."

It was only ten o'clock, and lunch was early, so Lin Yiyi simply sat on a chair to bask in the sun. Qin Xiangju had nothing to do, so she chatted with her outside: "At the beginning of the year, Dashi is getting married."

Lin Yiyi also likes to listen to gossip, and Dashi is Xiao Yu's cousin: "Dashi is getting married? How old is he?" Xiao Yu is 25 years old this year, so Dashi must be at least 20, right?

Qin Xiangju: "You are 21 years old now. Dashi is four years younger than Laoer, but he will be 22 next year. Although, compared with Laoer, Dashi also got married at the age of 22, but the situations of Laoer and Dashi are different. Laoer got married late because you were still young at that time, and the age difference between you was too big, but Dashi got married because of Xiaoshi."

Lin Yiyi thought about it and understood immediately: "Because the girl is worried that Xiaoshi will become a burden to Dashi?" Although Xiaoshi's IQ is a bit problematic, it is still the IQ of an eight-year-old. In the countryside, an eight-year-old boy can be called upon. Moreover, Xiaoshi is an adult man, much better than an eight-year-old boy. To put it bluntly, how can a laborer who will not resist no matter how you call him become a burden to Dashi? However, not everyone thinks so. Perhaps even Xiaoshi's parents think that he is a burden to Dashi, but even if they think so, they hope that their eldest son can take good care of their younger son in the future.

Qin Xiangju: "That's right. Dashi is a filial child. When he told the girl about his partner, he made it clear that his brother must live with him. If the girl can accept him, she must also accept his brother. If the girl agrees now but regrets it later, he will definitely not be polite. If the two of them get divorced, the girl will still be sad. Because of this, no one is willing to marry him."

Lin Yiyi said: "Dashi is responsible, but mom, in Xiaoshi's situation, with Dashi at home to help him, he can find a wife. Isn't it enough to find someone with good character and who doesn't dislike him?"

Qin Xiangju: "This is really hard to ask for. Although we all say that Xiaoshi is not a fool, everyone knows that

That's just to comfort myself, unless Xiaoshi's mother can come up with a large dowry."

Lin Yiyi: "That's true. Xiaoshi has some defects after all. It's normal to give more dowry to find a daughter-in-law." In fact, there are some other things she didn't say. If a family would marry their daughter to a fool just because of a high dowry, then this family is not that good.

Qin Xiangju said, "That's right, but if we spend too much on betrothal gifts, Xiaoshi's mother won't want to. It's not that she doesn't want to spend it, but she doesn't know if the other person is good or not. If she gives the betrothal gifts, what if the other person is not good? And Dashi also needs to be married, if we give all the family money to Xiaoshi for marriage, what will Dashi do? Xiaoshi's mother thinks that instead of giving more betrothal gifts to Xiaoshi for marriage, it's better to save the money and use it on Xiaoshi in the future. This way, the money will not be wasted."

Lin Yiyi smiled and said nothing. Everyone is an individual and everyone has different ideas.

"Sister..." While they were chatting, Lin Dajun came with his brothers. "Sister, you are back? What did the doctor say?"

When Lin Wudi saw his sister coming back, he rushed over, but was stopped by Lin Sanjun who was quick-witted.

Lin Yiyi said, "I'm fine, I'm in good health. What are you doing?" She saw them carrying baskets.

Lin Dajun: "Let's go buy some meat. My sister is pregnant, so don't we have to send her some food?" It's winter now, and meat lasts long. Besides, there has been no shortage of meat since Yangguang Commune opened a pig farm.

Lin Yiyi opened the basket and saw several pounds of meat, ribs and pig's trotters. Did they move the pig farm here? "Your meat coupons are almost gone?" She knew that her brothers had exchanged their meat coupons for money and had very few meat coupons on them. However, exchanging meat coupons for money was not considered speculation, even during the ten years of turmoil. After all, the meat coupons of the Lin brothers were issued by the commune, and they exchanged them for meat to buy meat for their own consumption, which was different from speculation.

Lin Dajun laughed: "Sister, you forgot, the New Year is almost here, and we still have four pigs at home. We can hand in the task again." So, we can go to the commune to get meat tickets again.

Lin Yiyi: "...Okay, I forgot about it."

Qin Xiangju: "Dajun, when you get your meat coupons, give me 20 kilograms of meat coupons."

Lin Yiyi was shocked: "Mom, why do you need so many?" The Xiao family also has three pigs, one for each of the first and third wives and the elders of the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family's pigs are not as fat as the Lin family's pigs, they can still produce more than ten pounds of pork meat a year.

In addition, Lin Yiyi would take a pound of fresh pork every month, so the Xiao family could be said to be the family that ate the most meat in the entire brigade. However, the family that ate the most meat in the entire commune must be the Lin family. There was nothing they could do about it, because who told them to raise pigs?

The Lin family's brothers are not only good at raising pigs, but also hardworking. The Lin family is one of the most reputable families in the Shanglin Production Brigade. Their parents died early, and the siblings are united and friendly, and are the symbolic figures of the entire brigade.

Qin Xiangju said, "It's not me who wants it, it's Dashi's mother who wants it. The pork has to be used to pay the bride price." 20 jin of pork tickets, 30 cents each, the Lin brothers can earn six yuan. The Lin brothers make the most money at the end of the year and the middle of the year, because they can get 140 jin of meat tickets at the end of the year and the middle of the year, adding up to 280 jin a year. After selling 200 jin of meat tickets, the remaining 80 jin can be kept and exchanged for free meat tickets, so their family really has no shortage of meat, no shortage of meat, no shortage of eggs, only vegetables. It is true that the Lin brothers have no vegetables. Although Lin Dajun is 16 years old, Lin Sanjun is 15 years old, and Lin Sijun is 13 years old, they are not young laborers. They still have to study on weekdays and only work on weekends. The food they earn from work is very little. They usually rely on the food from four mu of land, and the places where they grow vegetables are three small plots in the yard of their home, and there is a small plot in each of the three yards.

The younger brothers of the Lin family who had no vegetables could use their meat coupons and eggs to exchange for food and vegetables, so they all ate well. However, people of that era did not approve of splitting up the family, so they did not know the benefits of splitting up the family. But the younger brothers of the Lin family ate well, not only because of the pork and eggs, but also because they had no children. If one person ate enough, the whole family would not be hungry. If they had children and married a wife, the food problem would be serious, and they would need to take out more meat coupons and eggs to exchange for food.

Lin Yiyi: "So that's how it is. Auntie is really thoughtful. Dajun, remember to send 20 kilograms of meat coupons to your aunt when the time comes."

Lin Dajun: "Hey, some people in our team have also subscribed for meat tickets, and we use them to visit relatives and friends."

Lin Yiyi was so shocked that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It seems that your meat coupons are still in great demand. But..." Lin Yiyi thought about it. Although exchanging 30 cents for a meat coupon was not considered speculation, after the ten-year period, someone might make trouble. So she said, "After this batch of pigs is delivered, the meat coupons can no longer be exchanged for money."

Lin Dajun: "Ah? We have so much meat coupons, but we can't eat them all." There are only 365 years in a year, so we have to eat meat every other day.

Is that right? They are tired of eggs and meat doesn’t taste fresh to them. If they eat it every other day, they will be done for.

Lin Sijun: "Yes, sister, we don't like to eat meat or eggs now."

Lin Yiyi said, "It's fine to say this at home, but you can't say it outside. Who doesn't like to eat meat? Who doesn't like to eat eggs? They don't have anything to eat. If you say this to others, how many people will be jealous? People's hearts are hard to predict. If they get jealous, they might do something bad."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, we understand, and we won't talk about it outside. But, if the meat coupons are not exchanged for money, we really have a lot." The Lin family's younger brother, who is very protective of food, will indeed not talk about food issues outside.

Lin Yiyi said, "Instead of exchanging money, you can exchange it for food of the same value, such as one meat ticket for eight eggs, one meat ticket for two catties of rice, one meat ticket for ten catties of vegetables, or cloth, brown sugar, etc. If you exchange it for rice, vegetables, brown sugar, coarse grains, etc., you can give them to me to eat, and I will calculate the price and give it to you. Anyway, I will go to buy it. If you exchange it for eggs, you can take them to the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you understand? In this way, people will not accuse you of private speculation. Even though no one says it now, what if someone is dissatisfied and reports you for speculation in the future?"

After hearing what Lin Yiyi said, the younger brothers of the Lin family had no choice but to listen.

Lin Sijun: "Sister, you are so smart. Why didn't we think of that?"

sycophant.

In fact, Lin Yiyi herself had not thought about it. When Lin Dajun told her before, she did not think much about it. First, speculation was not dealt with strictly 66 years ago, and it was all done by villagers. She thought it was nothing. Now think about it, what if someone with ulterior motives reported it after 66 years? Although she knew that nothing serious would happen, criticism would be inevitable. In this case, it is better to start to prevent such things from happening now. Anyway, they still need to eat after the grain is exchanged. She can give money to her brothers, and let the supply and marketing cooperative buy the eggs after the exchange, so that her brothers will not suffer any loss.

The younger brothers of the Lin family were also afraid of being reported. They valued their lives very much. What’s more, what their elder sister said made sense. She was the mama’s boy and they were the sister’s boy. So they immediately decided that from now on they could only barter goods and not use money.

Qin Xiangju also thought that her daughter-in-law was smart, but although this was a bit troublesome for them as some things had to be taken to the supply and marketing cooperative, it could indeed avoid some problems.

After telling this to the Lin brothers, Lin Yiyi looked at the meat in the basket and said to Qin Xiangju: "Mom, we will have lunch at noon.

Drink the pork rib soup, add some chicken greens and a few slices of ginger, it will definitely taste good."

Qin Xiangju: "Okay, then I'll go make the soup now. Cook it for an hour and a half and drink it at 11:30. I guarantee the bones will be soft." The bones cannot be soft, but the meat on the ribs must be soft.

Lin Yiyi: "Please make more and send a bowl to grandma at noon."

Qin Xiangju: "I understand."

Lin Yiyi didn't have any vegetables at home, so Qin Xiangju went back to the old house. The two stove pits in the old house were still growing vegetables, and the Xiao family had no shortage of vegetables. Qin Xiangju pulled out a lot of chicken feathers. The chicken feathers were too small, so Lin Dajun washed them with Qin Xiangju.

At lunchtime, Lin Yiyi drank two small bowls of pork rib soup. Xiao Yu was very happy to see Lin Yiyi's good appetite.

Lin Yiyi stayed at home for three days to recover from her cold. After recovering from the cold, she went to work. As soon as she arrived at the commune, President Cheng came to her and asked, "Yiyi, how are you doing in arithmetic?"

Lin Yiyi: "It's still okay, what does this mean?"

President Cheng: "The accountant is not here today. There is only an assistant here. I am afraid he will be overwhelmed. Please go to the pig farm and help him."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, you look so happy, is there something big going on at the pig farm today?"

President Cheng: "We have ordered 50 pigs this week."

Lin Yiyi was extremely surprised: "Why is there so much?"

President Cheng: "Our pig farm was only opened last year. When the piglets were released from the pen at the end of last year, I visited many places, but no one wanted pigs. Few people wanted pigs. This year, half of the meat processing plants in the county came to us to get pigs. Our pig farm has a good reputation, so more people came to order pork. All the companies came to order pork. We directly distributed pork as part of the New Year's gift."

Lin Yiyi was quite surprised: "Giving out pork as part of the New Year's shopping? I've never heard of that before."
