Lin Yiyi listened to Xiao Yu talking about the army all the way home. The sound of children playing came from home, and the children from the first and third rooms were all there. It was almost the New Year, and the children were on vacation. In addition, her yard was spacious, so they all came to play. Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, Lin Yiyi felt happy when she saw the children playing.

"Sister, are you off work?" Lin Wudi ran to the door, watched his sister come in, and watched his brother-in-law push the bicycle. Now that he knew his sister was pregnant, he couldn't let his sister hold him, nor could he rush to her. "Sister, I went to the county town today, and I ate fried dough sticks."

Lin Yiyi asked: "Are the fried dough sticks delicious?"

Lin Wudi: "It's delicious."

Lin Yiyi: "Then let's make fried dough sticks tomorrow morning, okay?"

Lin Wudi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Lin Yiyi: “Of course.” Of course, she wouldn’t do it. After Xiao Yu went to work, she would buy some cooked dough sticks from the system mall.

Qin Xiangju came out and said, "You want to eat fried dough sticks tomorrow? I'll make them." She had already prepared dinner. "You can eat now. I'll take the soup to your grandparents, Xiaorui, Xiaozhu, and Jixiang. I'm leaving." She held a bowl of soup. The soup was made when she cooked for her son and daughter-in-law. She added more water on purpose. Adding more water would not affect the taste of the dishes. Because she cooked for her son and daughter-in-law, she also ate here. After dinner, she helped them clean up. However, her son and daughter-in-law paid her wages, including food, five yuan a month.

Qin Xiangju certainly didn't want the wages, but her daughter-in-law said that if she didn't want it, people would gossip about her, so she took it, thinking that after her grandson or granddaughter was born, she would use the money to buy things for the child. The children from the first and third rooms often played here, especially after she came to cook, they came to play more diligently. The daughter-in-law did ask them to eat a few times, but she felt that it was not good to often stay here to eat. The daughter-in-law was generous and would not say anything, because this would develop a habit for the children, so she would let the children go back at mealtime.

Lin Yiyi: “Wait a moment.” She took out two cans of food from the New Year goods, “Mom, give this bottle of canned fruit to grandpa and grandma, and take this bottle back for the children to open.” She didn’t like canned fruit, so it wasn’t a pity to share them. There were six cans in total, and she had four left. She gave three to her younger brothers and one to her brother Yu, who liked sweets.

Qin Xiangju: "Ah, speaking of

I forgot about the fruit, the army brought you two bags of apples and put them in your room."

Lin Yiyi exclaimed and looked at Da Jun: "Where did the apples come from? Did you buy apples in the county today?" No, that's not right, fruits are in high demand and you can't buy them in the county.

Lin Dajun: "No, these are apples from my classmate's uncle's house. One of my classmate's uncle is a driver, and he brought some fruits to his house. I used my meat coupons to exchange them with my classmate. Sister, don't you like apples?" With his meat coupons, Lin Dajun was considered a "big shot" wherever he went.

Lin Yiyi said, "I like it. Thank you, Dajun." Apples supplement vitamin C, which is good for pregnant women. As she said that, she entered the room and saw two bags of apples placed at the door. The apples were packed in a net bag, with about 10 apples in a bag. In modern times, this kind of apple is the kind that doesn't look good and is very cheap, but in this era, fruits are rarer than candy. Lin Yiyi has become accustomed to the kindness of her younger brothers, but every time she feels it, she is still very moved.

Lin Wudi: "Sister, eat apples."

Lin Yiyi said: "It's time to eat. Instead of apples, we can have canned fruit later." The canned fruit contains sugar water, which is perfect to eat while eating, just like a drink.

Lin Wudi: "Is it the same as soda?"

Lin Yiyi said: "It tastes better than soda, it's just soda with fruit in it."

Qin Xiangju went back with a bowl of soup and two canned fruits. The soup was for Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao and Xiao Daqiang as a side dish. It was also bone soup, but there were no bones in it, just soup and chicken greens. It just so happened that the old people didn't like to chew bones because they had bad teeth, and the soup was the essence of the meal, and it tasted very good with some light chicken greens.

Qin Xiangju gave one of the cans to Grandma Xiao, opened the other can, poured some out to Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Xiao, and gave the rest to the three children. When she returned, Lin Yiyi's meal was ready, and she also poured a bowl of canned fruit for her. Although the can was not big, it could still be poured into two small bowls.

After dinner, Qin Xiangju cleaned up, and Lin Yiyi stood aside and chatted with her. Speaking of the issue of cleaning up the dishes, Lin Yiyi felt that men who are good at cleaning up the dishes need to be taught a lesson. When her mother-in-law was not around, Xiao Yu cleaned up the dishes. When her mother-in-law came, Xiao Yu never cleaned up the dishes. So men are always children in front of their mothers.

Lin Yiyi: "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

Qin Xiangju: "What's wrong? What do you want to discuss?" Seeing her daughter-in-law's serious look, she was still a little nervous. It was too late to discuss the matter with her.

severe?

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "Don't be so serious. It's not a big deal. It's just that when my belly gets bigger, it will be inconvenient for me to go to work in the commune. If I need to take a leave, I have to find someone to cover for me. Who do you think is more suitable?" She didn't tell Xiao Yufu about her going to the army, but used the excuse of covering for her to get the upper hand. If she did go to the army, she would have to discuss the job.

This job is not suitable for either the Third Army or the Fourth Army. The Third Army will not graduate from primary school until next year, and the Fourth Army is even more so, as they are only in the third grade now. So, this commune job is for someone to work for seven or eight years and then return? This is obviously not suitable. After all, the other person is not Xiao Daqiang, and it is impossible for him to work for you for eight years and then return you. If you give it to someone else, you can only sell the job. The Lin family has no relatives, so originally, this job could be given to Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen will only be in the second grade of junior high school next year, so it is not suitable, and among the people she knows, there is no one with a high education.

Qin Xiangju was stunned. This was a big question. "Yiyi, the people working in your commune must be intellectuals, right?"

Lin Yiyi: "It's best to have graduated from high school, but at least a junior high school graduate is required." After all, her position is the president's assistant. It's not that she looks down on people who have only graduated from elementary school, but education is related to a person's knowledge, which is somewhat reasonable. Besides, if the president's assistant recruits a person who has only graduated from elementary school, he may not be able to hold up his status when he goes to various occasions, such as going to the countryside or going to the county town for meetings. I was scared.

Qin Xiangju understood. In her opinion, the assistant to the president did need to graduate from high school. However, there was no one around her who graduated from high school. But Qin Xiangju immediately thought: "Yiyi, can you change jobs like last time? Weren't you a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative before? Then you changed to a gatekeeper in the commune. Do you think you can change now?"

Lin Yiyi: "I have to ask the president about this, but there is no rush. It is still early for me to have a baby, so I will ask first."

Qin Xiangju kept this in mind. She thought, if her daughter-in-law wanted to find someone to take over her job, who should she find? No one in their family had graduated from high school, let alone junior high school. She would definitely not feel at ease if she found someone else. If she changed jobs, would her daughter-in-law still have such a good job after she had a baby and returned? She would definitely not want to change back to the position of the president's assistant.

So it's a bit troublesome.

With this thought in mind, Qin Xiangju packed up and returned to the Xiao family's old house. She went to discuss things with Grandma Xiao.

Lin's younger brother

We are staying at Lin Yiyi's house today. The family's mission pig has been handed in, but the new piglets have not been received yet. They plan to pick them up after the new year, so that they can stay at their sister's house for a few more days. As for the family's hens, they caught two more today. Now there are three hens in Lin Yiyi's chicken coop. According to the Lin family's brothers, her sister is pregnant and needs to drink chicken soup to replenish her health. Anyway, women in the village are like this. When they are pregnant or have a baby, they will kill chickens to replenish their bodies. If others eat one, their sister can eat eight. They had nothing else but old hens and eggs.

the next day

Xiao Yu went to work early in the morning, but he also had breakfast made by his mother, which was fried dough sticks and porridge. Needless to say, the taste was delicious. When Lin Yiyi got up, everyone had breakfast and Qin Xiangju went to wash clothes.

"Aunt, when will the little brother in your belly come out?" Xiao Rui asked curiously. He was so happy that he was going to have another little brother after Xiao Jixiang.

Lin Yiyi said: "It will come out next year when the weather is hot. Does Xiaorui like a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Xiao Rui: "Sister."

Lin Yiyi: “Why?”

Xiao Rui: "Tiepi's family has a younger sister, but I don't have one. I want a younger sister. But Tiepi's younger sister is not pretty, so I don't like her. Second Aunt is pretty, and the younger sister she gave birth to must be prettier than Tiepi's younger sister."

Lin Yiyi laughed: "Then when the second aunt gives birth to a little sister, Xiao Rui must protect her well." These days, there is nothing to compare children with, and the little sister is also used for comparison. Lin Yiyi knew that this child named Tiepi often played with Xiao Rui, so she also came to their house. Tiepi's family has more boys, so girls are rare children. The little girl is white and tender, and quite pretty.

However, Xiao Rui said that the other person's sister was not pretty. Lin Yiyi felt that Xiao Rui would definitely be a sister-protecting maniac in the future. He would be the kind of brother who thought that other people's sisters were not pretty at all, but his sister was pretty at all.

Xiao Rui shrank his neck, feeling that the look in his aunt's eyes when she looked at him was a bit scary. He took a few steps back, took a bite of the fried dough stick in his hand and ran away.

Xiao Rui ran out to find Lin Wudi: "Uncle Xiaowu, second aunt said that when the weather gets warmer, she will give birth to my younger sister." The six-year-old Xiao Rui said like a little adult.

Lin Yiyi was eating in the kitchen and heard this, and couldn't help but find it funny. In fact, people in this era don't like children to call the baby in a pregnant woman's belly "sister", because everyone values ​​boys over girls and everyone likes to have children.

Xiao Rui was a child who didn't know much. She didn't care about having a son or a daughter. If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely be angry.

Lin Wudi: "My sister will definitely give birth to a younger brother."

Xiao Rui: "But Second Aunt said it was my younger sister, so what Second Aunt said must be the best."

Brother Lin Wu insisted on his own idea: "My sister lied to you. She must have a younger brother. Do you know why my sister must have a younger brother?"

Xiao Rui didn't know, so he shook his head, but he was curious. "Why did Uncle Xiaowu know that Second Aunt would definitely give birth to a younger brother?"

Lin Wudi grinned, a little proudly, and said, "Because all my sister's children are brothers. She has four brothers, the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and me. So this time, she must have given birth to a brother as well."

“Hahahaha…” Lin Sijun laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Lin Sanjun knocked on Lin Wudi's head with a faint smile on his lips. Where did such a silly brother come from?

Li Dajun was in the chicken coop and heard what his brother said. He ran out and said, "You idiot, the one born by my sister is called a nephew, not our brother. We are born by our parents, and only those born by our parents can be called brothers. Xiaorui is called brother, and we call him nephew."

Lin Wudi: "..." He opened his mouth in shock. He had always thought that he could have a little brother, but all his fantasies were shattered.

Lin Yiyi also came out covering her mouth. She was afraid that she would laugh too loudly and hurt Xiao Wuzi's heart. His young heart must not be hurt, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

Lin Wudi looked at them and finally his eyes turned red: "You are so annoying, I don't want to play with you anymore." Then he ran out of the yard.

"Uncle Xiaowu..." Xiao Rui ran out. Although he called Lin Wudi uncle, they grew up together and were each other's little buddies.

Xiao Rui ran out and Xiao Zhu followed him out. Seven-year-old Xiao Zhu was more sensible than in the previous two years. She listened to her mother's instructions to protect her younger brother and follow him wherever he went.

When Lin Wudi saw Xiao Rui coming, he snorted, "I won't play with them anymore. They are all bad brothers and bad people. They are so annoying, so annoying..."

Xiao Rui suggested good-naturedly: "Then let's go find some friends to play with." Lin Wudi attends the nursery here, and after half a semester, he has already become friends with the children here.

Lin Wudi: "Okay, then don't play with them. I don't want such a bad brother." The embarrassed Lin Wudi was so angry. He was a small man and his face was determined to be

maintained.

Xiao Rui: "Okay, I won't play with them." He was also very protective of his friends. Besides, there was nothing fun to do between him and the three uncles. They, the adults, didn't like to play with him.

Xiao Zhu followed them and smiled unconsciously when she heard their childish words. Girls of similar age always mature earlier than boys. For example, Xiao Zhu was a precocious child. She grew up in the Xiao family and was happier than many other girls. At least her family didn't let her work. She just had to take care of her younger brother. Unlike other girls, who had to work since they were young, such as washing clothes and cutting pig grass, she had never washed clothes when she was so old. She did cut pig grass before. Her great-grandmother and grandmother took her and her younger brother to cut pig grass.

After Lin Wudi ran away, Lin Yiyi was not worried. Boys should not have fragile hearts. Besides, Lin Wudi was quite famous in the village. Everyone knew that he was her brother and would not bully him. Besides, he had lived here for half a year and might be more familiar with every corner here than she was.

Lin Dajun said: "Today, only one egg was laid out of the three hens, and the other two hens did not lay any eggs."

Lin Yiyi: "Three hens? You guys have hens coming over here again?"

Lin Dajun: "Oh, I forgot to mention it yesterday. We brought two hens here yesterday. But maybe the hens are not used to the new environment, so they didn't lay eggs."

Lin Yiyi said: "That's what they said, why did you bring the hens here? You can just come here by yourself, why bring the hens here?" Are you planning to let the hens lay eggs here?

Lin Dajun: "People in the village said that pregnant women should drink chicken soup, so we brought two. Don't worry, if you finish the two, we still have six at home." With the old hen, Lin Dajun was confident, "I asked my mother-in-law, and she also said that pregnant women should drink chicken soup."

Lin Yiyi: "Dajun is becoming more and more like a man. Thank you, Dajun. Thank you also to the Third Army and the Fourth Army for sending the old hen here."

Lin Sanjun's mouth curled up.

Lin Sijun: "We still have some at home. The two old hens this time are Xiaowu's."

Lin Yiyi found it funny again, as if every time she brought hens, she was using the hens under Lin Wudi's name. However, she was still quite relieved, because her brothers now earned their own money, food, and tuition fees, and she seemed to be eating their eggs, hens, and pork for free, without having to pay anything.

After all, she didn't raise them well, but they are now

, they worked hard enough, and their parents starved to death. The original story of Lin Daya ended up like this. No one is to blame but the author, because everything is written by the author. Lin Dajun and the younger brothers of the Lin family are all controlled by the author. Now that the new world has been established, they are no longer paper figures written by the author, but have their own lives, so everything about them can be taught.

However, the system said that if she hadn't come, even in this new world, even if they had life, it would still follow the plot in the book.

Lin Yiyi now thinks carefully. It cannot be blamed on Lin Daya for the Lin brothers becoming like that. It is not easy for a 15-year-old girl to raise four younger brothers. She does not have the time and energy to teach her brothers what to do. Moreover, she herself does not know how to teach them, because before this, she was also a child who was spoiled by her parents and grew up. She... is also a child who needs to be taught.

"Sister...sister..." Lin Wudi, who had just run out for a few minutes, came back panting, "Sister, backpack, my backpack."

Lin Yiyi asked: "What do you want to do with the basket?"

Xiao Rui: "We caught fish. We caught fish in the pond."

Lin Yiyi was also interested when she heard it: "Let's go and have a look." Today is the 28th, and it is indeed the day to catch fish in the pond. Fishing in the pond is actually quite safe. First of all, the water in the pond is clear, so even if the children fall in, they will not drown. Secondly, the men who go into the pond are all strong laborers. If a child goes into the water, they will immediately pick him up. So it is really not dangerous, unless the child is unlucky.

Although Lin Dajun and others were not members of the brigade, they could also go to the pond to catch fish. The fish they caught could be considered as belonging to Grandpa Xiao. Anyway, for the brigade, as long as the fish were caught quickly, the brigade would use the fish to subsidize each household according to the amount of fish they caught.

However, don't think that strangers can come to the team to catch fish, that's impossible. Lin Dajun is a relative of the Xiao family. If some relatives come to help at home, that's fine, but if they come specifically for the fish, that's not okay.

At the Xiao family's side, Grandpa Xiao also came with a backpack. After Qin Xiangju returned home, she quickly dried her clothes and immediately went to the pond carrying the basket on her back.

Lin Yiyi stood on the shore, keeping a certain distance from everyone. If she got too close to everyone, she was worried that they might accidentally bump into her.

Lin Dajun and Lin Sanjun went down to the pond and picked up the big fish and put them into the net.

Lin Sijun took Lin Wujun and Xiao Rui to the shore to pick up small fish and screws.

This year, the fish harvest of Datang Production Team is considered to be a bumper harvest. Everyone is in a good mood when seeing this. Some people think that fish meat is fishy, ​​but some people know how to process fish and make it delicious.

Lin Yiyi looked at the taller men who were fishing in the middle of the pond, and the children who were picking small fish and screws at the edge of the pond. There were also quite a few children like Lin Wudi and Xiao Rui, who were five or six years old. Some of the children were picking very seriously, while others were playing. However, basically the older children were leading the younger ones to ensure their safety.

Lin Wudi and Xiao Rui were covered in mud, even on their faces, but they were having a lot of fun.

Lin Yiyi watched for a while and then went home. She went to heat water, otherwise they would not have hot water to take a bath when they came back, and they would freeze to death if they used cold water. In fact, they might not feel cold after just coming out of the pond.

Qin Xiangju was the first to come back. She was going to cook. Seeing the chimney in the second room was in the cat's eye, she was a little worried and came over to take a look: "Yiyi, is Yiyi here?"

Lin Yiyi responded loudly: "Yes, mother, I'm here, you're back?"

Qin Xiangju: "I'll cook for you. Wait a minute. I'll go back and take a shower first."

Lin Yiyi: "Mom, I've boiled some hot water and filled the two thermoses. You can use them to wash first."

Qin Xiangju: “Hey.”

When Qin Xiangju was about to finish lunch, the Lin brothers also came back and brought back two big fat fish.

Lin Yiyi: "What a big fish." It must weigh two kilograms.

Lin Dajun: "It was given by Grandpa Xiao."

Lin Yiyi immediately said, "Now that you have brought two such big fish, what if Grandpa doesn't have any?"

Qin Xiangju: "Don't worry. I told your grandfather when I came here that we will exchange for six fish. If the fish we catch today are not enough for six, we can exchange the rest with work points. Then you can send two more to Xiaoling and we can keep the remaining two for ourselves."

The author has something to say: There will be another update at 3pm!
