Chapter 117
In early November, Father Lin and Uncle Lin handed over their work, and took their son, luggage and mother to the army. Yes, Grandma Lin also went this time. Although Grandma Lin had seen Xiaobao's photo, she had never met Xiaobao in person, and she missed him a lot. In addition, Father Lin was going to work there this time, so she was tempted by Grandpa Lin and simply went out to take a look.
Grandma Lin missed her granddaughter and great-granddaughter, and thought that she was still in good health, so she decided to go. Don't wait until your body is no longer able to see them, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. After
three days of train ride, they finally arrived at the county train station where the army was located. Father Lin and Lin Luming had been here once, so this time they were very familiar with it. They brought Grandma Lin to the entrance of the train station and saw the military vehicle and Lu Cheng standing at the entrance.
"Son-in-law..." Father Lin shouted to Lu Cheng.
When Lu Cheng saw them coming out, he stepped forward and took the luggage from them: "Grandma, Dad, Lu Ming, you have worked hard all the way."
Grandma Lin said: "What's the hardship? It's a rare opportunity to take a train. I'm in good spirits." Grandma Lin had only taken a train twice in her life. The first time was when the Lin family's large troops returned to their hometown by train. At that time, the situation was turbulent and they were very cautious when taking the train. Unlike this time, they were happy to take the train.
Thinking of this, Grandma Lin sincerely thanked the country and the soldiers. Without their struggle, there would be no beautiful present. Compared with the past, the present life is really a blessing. Even though it is hard, it is a happy hardship because it is very stable.
When they arrived at the family compound, Grandma Lin saw Lu Haici pushing a baby carriage at the door.
Grandma Lin was the first to get off the carriage, and no one else had to open the door. Grandma Lin had ridden in a rickshaw when she was young, and she opened the door smoothly. As soon as the car door was opened, Grandma Lin said, "Hai Ci, Xiao Bao, why are you here?"
Lu Hai Ci said, "Mom and grandma were cooking at home. Mom said that Grandma was coming and we had to cook a lot at home, so I brought my sister here to wait for Grandma."
Grandma Lin smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Why are you being polite? What can't I eat?" Then she looked at the child sitting in the stroller, "Xiao Bao, I am Grandma, do you know Grandma?"
Xiao Bao, who was one year and two months old, looked at Grandma Lin with a sweet mouth, "Da (Tai)... Da..."
"So good." Grandma Lin bent down and picked her up.
Xiao Bao had been walking around the family yard for a few months. She was not afraid of strangers. When she was picked up by Grandma Lin, she hugged Grandma Lin's neck with her little hands and stared at her curiously. Seeing Grandma Lin smiling at her, she also smiled. When she smiled, six neat teeth appeared in front of her eyes, which made Grandma Lin curious: "Oh, our little baby has grown teeth."
Little baby can understand teeth. When she heard Grandma Lin talking about teeth, she opened her mouth: "Ah..." These are teeth for eating. She is very smart.
Grandma Lin said: "Grandma bought apples for you and your brother. Can you eat apples?"
Lu Haici said: "Sister can eat apple paste. Use a spoon to scrape the apples off. She loves to eat it."
"Eat...eat..." Little baby started to babble.
Every time the Lin family came, they chose Sunday, so every time they came, they were always seen by many people. Look, when the family came in, everyone looked at them curiously. Father Lin and Lin Luming had lived here for two months, so everyone knew them. So everyone started to greet them.
When we arrived at the Lu family's house, we could smell the aroma of food before we even entered.
"Qingqing..." Grandma Lin walked into the yard and shouted with full energy.
"Grandma is here." Lin Qingqing hurried out of the kitchen, "Grandma, you have worked hard all the way, you can eat soon."
Grandma Lin said, "It's not hard, your family compound is really lively, and everyone is very enthusiastic." Just now, many people greeted her.
Lin Qingqing said, "That's right, everyone is very simple."
When it was time to eat, Lin Yiyang's family also came, which made it even more lively.
After lunch, Grandma Lin took a bath and went to sleep first. She said she was not tired, but she was indeed tired. It was hard to sleep well on the train, and there was no way to take a shower. Because of Grandpa Lin, the Lin family loved cleanliness and hygiene very much. Grandma Lin felt uncomfortable if she didn't take a shower for three days.
While Grandma Lin was taking a nap, Father Lin and Lin Luming followed Mother Lin to the farm and lived next to Dr. Lin's family.
Lin Luming is 16 years old this year. He is in junior high school in the second half of the year, and his grades are average. According to Lin Qingqing's wishes, he will repeat junior high school for another year. Because the college entrance examination will not be resumed until 77 years later, and it is only 68 years now, there are still □□ years of time. During this time, Lin Luming must lay a solid foundation for the college entrance examination. Of course, she didn't tell Lin's parents about the college entrance examination. She just told them that Lin Luming's grades were good enough for him to repeat a year to lay a foundation for the high school entrance examination.
Lin's parents had no objection to this. Lin Luming himself had no opinion and did whatever his family said.
Grandma Lin stayed in the army until the Chinese New Year and went back home with Lin Yiyang's family. This was the first time for Lin Yiyang to go home since he was brought out by Lin Qingqing in 1963. Although
Grandma Lin was gone, the Lu family was still very lively because Lin's parents were there during the Chinese New Year. The two families celebrated the Chinese New Year together.
The outstanding employee of the farm in 1968 was Zhang Hongping. This was the second outstanding employee of the farm after Lin Qingqing, and she was also rewarded with a job quota. At that time, many people wanted to buy her quota, but Zhang Hongping didn't give it to anyone. Even Qian Yuelan asked Qin Ming's father to ask Zhang Hongping to sell this quota to her family, but Zhang Hongping refused.
Because Zhang Hongping gave this quota to the eldest grandson in her hometown. She originally wanted to give it to her eldest son, but the eldest son lived in his hometown all his life and didn't want to come out, so she gave it to the eldest grandson.
During that time, Qian Yuelan and her husband's family had some gaps. But Zhang Hongping didn't care. When she was at work, she often complained to Lin Qingqing about Qian Yuelan's dissatisfaction.
After 1968, 1969 was another happy year for the Lin family, because in 1969, Dr. Lin was selected as an outstanding employee, which fulfilled the words of Aunt Lin.
Dr. Lin was selected as an outstanding employee, which he really deserved. It was not exaggerated at all. After becoming a veterinarian, Dr. Lin made great contributions to the farm. It can be said that all the poultry on the farm were taken care of by him and a few others. Moreover, he was taught very well by Grandpa Lin, and he also brought out several apprentices.
If it were not for Zhang Hongping's qualifications, he should have been the outstanding employee in 1968.
After Dr. Lin was selected as an outstanding employee, in the early 1970s, Lin Aojun and his family came. As Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin joked privately, Lin Aojun and his wife did not get this job for nothing. Following the example of Father Lin and Uncle Lin, the brothers clearly calculated the bill and spent 900 yuan to buy it from Dr. Lin.
But even so, Lin Aojun and Su Fen were also very happy, because they didn't have to work hard, they became workers, to put it bluntly, if not for themselves, but also for the children in the family to have a good life.
Lin Aojun and Su Fen did give birth to a daughter, who can be said to be the only daughter of the fourth generation of the Lin family after Lin Qingqing. However, although Lin Qingqing is the only daughter of the third generation, another daughter of the fourth generation is not as rare as Lin Qingqing to the old people.
September 1970.
"Brother, Xiaobao is fine, Xiaobao is going to school." Lu Xiaobao wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt made by his mother, and trousers made of army green cloth, carrying a Liberation bag, wearing a mini Liberation cap, and came out with his head held high. "Brother, is Xiaobao pretty?" Influenced by her mother, Xiaobao is a little girl who loves beauty.
"Pretty." Lu Haici walked over and straightened the hairpin on her sister's braid, "Xiaobao is the most beautiful girl in the world."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobao's eyes narrowed with laughter. She said sweetly, "Brother is the most beautiful brother in the world."
The brother and sister were bragging about their business, and Lin Qingqing was tired of listening to it. "Listen to the teacher in school and don't fight with other children, understand?" There was no way, her daughter had been a little bully since she was young, and she was really afraid that her daughter would fight.
"I know, I won't fight." Lu Xiaobao responded with full energy.
Logically, Lin Qingqing should have sent her daughter to kindergarten for the first time, but there was no way, in her daughter's heart, her brother was the first, and if she wanted her brother to send her, Lin Qingqing would not care.
However, when Lu Haici sent his sister to kindergarten, he saw his sister standing at the entrance of the kindergarten without moving. Lu Haici said, "Xiaobao, you go in to school."
Lu Xiaobao said in a milky voice, "Brother, come in to school too."
Lu Haici didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother is a big boy now. He won't go to school here. Brother will go to the county town to study." He is 12 years old this year and will go to the county town to study in the first grade of junior high school in September.
After hearing what her brother said, Lu Xiaobao walked out of the kindergarten obediently and took her brother's hand and said, "Brother and I will go to the county town to study together." She is an idealistic child. She has not graduated from kindergarten yet, but she is thinking about going to junior high school.
Lu Haici touched his sister's head and said, "No, you are a child. You have to go to kindergarten first, and then go to elementary school after graduating from kindergarten. You can only go to junior high school after graduating from elementary school. Didn't your brother bring you here a few days ago? Have you forgotten?"
"I didn't forget." Three-year-old Lu Xiaobao had his own ideas, "But I want to go to school with my brother."
Lu Haici: "No, you go to school here, and I'll bring you something delicious after school, okay?"
Lu Xiaobao took out a White Rabbit candy from her small bag: "Brother, go to school here obediently, I'll give you candy."
Lu Haici: "..."
Seeing that her brother didn't understand, Lu Xiaobao walked away on her own feet. After a few steps, she saw that her brother didn't keep up, so she asked: "Brother, aren't you going to school? Good children have to go to school."
