Chapter 65
Yu Xiuyao rode Dawang's bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up and deliver goods, so it was not so fast, and it would take about eight o'clock. But it was only seven o'clock now, and Lu Haici could not wait any longer, so he ran to the next door to show off.
"Ji Yang Ji Yang..." Lu Haici did not go to the next door, but just shouted loudly at the wall. This one-meter-high wall could not stop Lu Haici. The five-year-old Lu Haici was 108 cm tall. Among children of the same age, he was tall, mainly because Lu Cheng's aunt took good care of him.
Ji Yang had just got up, because eight o'clock was the canteen's meal time, Ji Yang had to go to the big canteen to eat, and Xu Huijuan was waiting for him in the big canteen.
Hearing Lu Haici's call, Ji Yang hurried out of the house: "Lu Haici..." Ji Yang didn't reach the corner of the wall. He was not as tall as Lu Haici, but not much. "Lu Haici, I'm going to the cafeteria to have dinner with my mother later. Do you want to go?"
Lu Haici said loudly: "No, I'm going to the county town with my parents. I want to go to the zoo and see the animals." There is no zoo in his hometown, so Lu Haici has never seen animals, but children have a natural imagination for zoos. "My mother said there are monkeys in the zoo. I'm going to see Sun Wukong."
Lin Qingqing listened to Lu Haici's deliberately amplified voice and shook his head helplessly. She said to Lu Cheng on the side: "What does your son want to do?"
Lu Cheng glanced at her and replied: "You are used to it." If it was him, he would have spanked him long ago.
Lin Qingqing didn't want to listen to his bragging. Lu Haici was very brave in front of Lu Cheng, which showed how much Lu Cheng doted on him. But men want to save face, and she would not give him face.
"Let's go to the photo studio first." Lu Cheng said again, "Let's take a photo of the three of us."
Lin Qingqing was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Cheng said calmly: "Send it to my aunt, and also to the Lin family, so that they can see you and Haici, so that they know that you are living well."
Lin Qingqing had no opinion after hearing it: "Okay."
Lu Cheng looked at her. In fact, this was not the main purpose. The main purpose was that he was worried that she would be gone in three years, and then the only thing left for him would be the photo. Even if the face in the photo is not her real self, he can still know through her expression and eyes that it is her.
Lin Qingqing didn't know what he was thinking, nor did she know that at this moment, he was looking at her in a trance, as if he wanted to deeply engrave her every word, action, expression and behavior into his mind.
Three years later, no one knows what will happen. For Lu Cheng, it is contradictory. He hopes that the original girl will come back, but he doesn't want her to leave. But they all know that this choice is decided by God and they have no say in it.
Lu Cheng raised his head again and looked at the boundless sky. Is there really a God? As a college student of this era and a graduate of a military academy, he does not believe in feudal superstition. However, her appearance cannot be answered with scientific knowledge.
So Lu Cheng thought...it might be a natural phenomenon. It is a scientific phenomenon that cannot be understood with current and future knowledge.
Ji Yang was envious when he heard that Lu Haici was going to the zoo: "Can I go with you?"
Lu Haici: "...No." He was here to show off, not to bring his family with him. "You are going with your parents, I am going with my parents, children should go to the zoo with their parents." Lu Haici patted his schoolbag and said, "I brought a notebook and a pen, I will draw the animals in the zoo and show them to you."
This is probably the only thing he can share.
Ji Yang's eyes lit up: "Lu Haici, you are so nice, you are my best friend." Ji Yang was so moved that he wanted to hug Lu Haici.
Lu Haici smiled. He really liked when people praised him, whether it was his mother or someone else.
Ding-ding-ding... the
bicycle bell rang, and Yu Xiuyao came pushing a bicycle: "Lu Cheng, Qingqing, sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, no, we are just used to getting up early." Lin Qingqing said.
Lu Cheng: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Thank you for what?" Yu Xiuyao didn't care, "It's just that there is still some smell on the bicycle, Lu Cheng has to endure it." Lu
Cheng: "Things that can be swallowed, no need to endure."
Puff... Yu Xiuyao was amused by his words: "Lu Cheng, you can also make jokes now." As she said that, she gave Lin Qingqing an admiring look, meaning that Lin Qingqing taught well.
But Lin Qingqing didn't understand her look.
With Yu Xiuyao's bicycle, the Lu family of three went to the county town. Lin Qingqing carried Lu Haici, and Lu Cheng followed behind them at a moderate pace. He watched them and protected them.
Ji Yang watched Lu Haici's figure getting farther and farther away, and suddenly felt a sense of envy. But then, he took his lunch box and ran towards the cafeteria. He also has a father and a mother, and he will tell his mother later that he also wants to go to the county town to visit the zoo.
At about 8:30, the Lu family of three arrived in the county town. They parked their bicycles at the supply and marketing cooperative where Director Ma worked. Because they were acquaintances, they felt more at ease parking the bicycles. Then they asked about the location of the photo studio and went to the photo studio.
The photo studio was a little deserted, with several photos posted on the door. Like modern photo studios, photo studios of this era would also use photos of customers as decorations to attract people.
"Are you guys here to take photos?" Seeing that there were customers, a middle-aged man came over to greet them. He was the photographer here.
Lin Qingqing said, "Let's take photos."
"Are we taking photos of three people? We have clothes here to provide, do you need them?" the photographer asked.
"No need." Lin Qingqing was not used to taking photos in clothes that others had worn. "Let's just take photos of three people, that's all."
"Family photos and individual photos." Lu Cheng added.
Lin Qingqing looked at him: "Do we still need to take individual photos? What's the point?"
Lu Cheng said as a matter of course: "Let Lu Haici take our individual photos. The children will take the photos of their parents. If they get lost in the future, it will be easier to find people with the photos of adults."
Lu Cheng's words reminded Lin Qingqing of some interesting things in modern times. For example, some people keep pets, and there will be a sign around the neck of the pet: Don't resell me, my father (mother) has money and can redeem me. XXX: 1XXXXXXX. This is the owner's name and phone number.
So if Lu Haici took their photos, she would feel like Lu Haici was a pet. She couldn't help laughing. "Okay then." She couldn't find a reason to object.
So they ordered three individual photos and one photo of three people.
"What background do you want to choose?" The photographer showed them the background picture.
Lin Qingqing was not interested in the background pictures of this era. She chose a background picture for ID photos, which was a blue background. Lu Cheng was the same as Lin Qingqing, but he was not uninterested. He liked things to be clean. Lu Haici chose a background picture of a panda eating bamboo. Children all like this.
After choosing the background picture, the photographer asked, "Who will take the first picture?"
"I'll take the first picture." Little Lu Haici was the most excited. He came to the background picture in a heroic manner. Without the photographer saying anything, he grinned and showed a silly smile.
Lin Qingqing said, "Do a gesture."
Lu Haici didn't understand: "Mom, what gesture do you want to make?"
Lin Qingqing thought for a while and said, "This is how you put your hands on your heart and make a heart. It means I love you." She demonstrated it to Lu Haici.
Lu Cheng looked at her movements and thought, this should be the movement of the future. Does this mean I love you? He remembered this movement in his heart.
Lu Haici imitated her mother's movements and said, "Mom, I love you."
After she finished speaking, the photographer captured Lu Haici at this moment. He couldn't help but say, "Your child is so well-behaved. Many children don't know how to take pictures, but this child is suitable for the camera." The photographer has taken pictures for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen a child so lively and natural in front of the camera.
Lin smiled lightly, because he didn't know the Lu Haici of the past. He still remembered that when he first came, the little guy was startled.
After Lu Haici finished taking pictures, Lin went over to take pictures, and the photographer adjusted the background. Lin Qingqing also made the same move as Lu Haici: "Lu Haici, I love you." She is suitable for the camera and the stage. As an Internet celebrity, she has certainly studied this face deeply, so she knows what angles make her look more beautiful. As a woman, who doesn't like to take beautiful photos of herself.
Lu Cheng looked at her natural and skilled movements and frowned again. Her movements were too natural, as if she had done it countless times. In the future world, will she often say and do this to people?
"Lu Cheng, it's your turn." Lin Qingqing was also curious about what Lu Cheng would do when taking pictures.
"Yeah." Lu Cheng walked forward, then stood at attention.
Lin Qingqing: "..." As expected, she thought too much.
"Comrade, smile." The photographer reminded.
"Dad, I love you, you have to do this... I love you." Lu Haici reminded, "Like this, I love you." He even repeated the demonstration.
Lu Cheng felt a headache when he heard him saying I love you again and again: "No, I'll do this." He would be stupid to do this.
The photographer had no choice but to follow Lu Cheng. However, this gay man is good-looking and has a good figure. Even without smiling, he is still very good-looking.
When taking the next photo of the three of them, the photographer asked: "How many photos do you want each?"
This... Lin lightly calculated: "Let's take three photos of the three of us. One for us, one for your aunt, and one for the Lin family. What do you think?" She asked Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng said, "Five photos, one for the Lin family, one for my aunt, and one for each of the three of us."
Lin Qingqing: "Okay. What about the individual photos? I'll give one to Haici and one to the Lin family. Two is enough, right?" She didn't want one for herself. She could see them every day when she woke up. There was no point in keeping an individual photo.
Lu Cheng: "Three."
"Ah? Why do you need so many?" Lin Qingqing was puzzled.
Lu Cheng said, "One for the Lin family, one for Lu Haici, and one for me." After a pause, he said, "I'll use it in three years. If she doesn't come back..." Lu Cheng leaned close to Lin Qingqing and whispered in her ear, "I plan to give it to her as a posthumous photo."
His sudden approach made Lin Qingqing's heart tremble. The pressure of height was too great. In front of him, she was too petite. It felt like she was being held in his arms. However, Lin Qingqing was speechless. He wanted to give her photo to the original owner as a posthumous photo? Is he stupid? Or is he stupid?
Although... this seems to work. "If she comes back three years later, then... let me use it." Lin Qingqing also added.
Lu Cheng's heart ached, and the joy just now disappeared. He replied heavily: "Okay."
After leaving the photo studio, they asked the photographer for the address of the zoo and went to the zoo.
There is no difference between the zoos of this era and those of later generations. It's just that one is newer and the other is older. But from a tourism perspective, Lin Qingqing likes the zoos of this era more because of the advantage of taking pictures. Modern people like nostalgia.
Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici waited on the side, and when Lu Cheng bought the tickets, they went in.
There were not many people in the zoo. One reason was that parents would not bring their children to the zoo these days because it was expensive. Another reason was that it was summer now. Although it was morning, it was still hot.
This was a good thing for the Lu family. It seemed convenient with fewer people.
Lu Haici was having a lot of fun. Every time he saw an animal, he would exclaim, "Mom, what kind of animal is this?"
"Mom, is this a tiger?"
"Mom, this animal has a long nose..."
"Mom, is this Sun Wukong?"
In the end, Lin Qingqing was exhausted, but this kid was still full of energy. He drew all the animals while looking at them. Although in Lin Qingqing's opinion, this child has no talent for drawing, and his drawings are all a mess, but there is nothing he can do... The little boy's self-confidence is very inflated. He thinks that every one of his drawings is very good. Not only does he think that his drawings are good, but he also wants to show Lin Qingqing every one of them: "Mom, look, this is a tiger, a very big tiger."
Lin Qingqing: "Hai Ci draws very well."
Lu Cheng took a look and found that the drawing looked a bit like the big yellow dog of his uncle's neighbor when he was a child.
Lu Hai Ci drew an elephant: "Mom, look, its trunk is so long, I can sit on it." He actually drew a little man sitting on the elephant's trunk. But the question is, what's the matter with the man and woman behind the little man? "Mom, this is you, and this is Dad."
Lin Qingqing said that she didn't want to sit on the elephant's trunk.
Lu Cheng took a look and asked if this was the elephant's trunk? Isn't it a hemp rope?
The painting that Lu Haici was most satisfied with was of course Sun Wukong: "Mom, look, I've finished painting Sun Wukong."
Lin Qingqing took a look and found that it really looked like Sun Wukong. Lin Qingqing wondered if the reason why Lu Haici painted the monkey most like him was probably because they were of the same type?
Lu Cheng took a look and said, "It looks a bit like Lu Haici." It was a very pertinent comment.
Lin Qingqing thought that this was a derogatory word.
But Lu Haici was so happy to hear that: "Really? Dad, am I like Sun Wukong? I want to be as powerful as Sun Wukong, I want to beat up bad guys. But... I wasn't born from a stone, ah..."
The last tone of regret was that if Lin Qingqing was his biological mother, she would have spanked him without waiting for Lu Cheng to do it.
After leaving the zoo, they went to the state-owned hotel. Because they had breakfast early and left the zoo late, Lin Qingqing was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.
Lu Haici was also tired from walking, so his father carried him on his back. "Mom, we're going to drink soda later. It's delicious soda."
Lin Qingqing: "Really? I haven't had soda before. I'll definitely drink one more bottle later."
Lu Cheng: "The soda bottle is relatively small, so you can drink one more bottle."
After finding the state-owned hotel, Lu Cheng first asked the waiter to serve soda. It must be said that the soda bottles of this era are really small. A bottle of soda is not enough for a small bowl. The thirsty Lin Qingqing finished a bowl on the spot and drank it in one breath.
Seeing this, Lu Haici also wanted to drink it in one breath, but he couldn't bear to.
Because they came a little late, there were no good dishes, so the three of them ordered three bowls of shredded pork and salted vegetable noodles. On a hot afternoon, eating a bowl of salted vegetable shredded pork noodles is still very delicious. Especially with the drinks on the side, Lin Qingqing felt like she was back in modern times, drinking drinks and eating at the same time.
"Do you want more?" Lu Cheng asked after Lin Qingqing finished two bottles.
She could definitely drink it, but Lin Qingqing didn't want to drink it anymore. If she drank more, her stomach would feel a little full. It was probably the feeling that her stomach was full but her mouth was not. "No more."
"I want more." Lu Haici was recited by his father today, and he felt that his father was particularly good today, so he made a small request.
Lu Cheng didn't even look at him, and continued to talk to Lin softly: "Then come and drink next time, you can come again during the next week's break. You can only drink soda when it's hot, you can't drink it when it's cold."
"That's not the case." Lin said softly, "Eating ice cream in winter is also special. How should I put it? Eating ice cream in summer is probably eating ice cream, and eating ice cream in winter is eating the feeling."
"Ice cream in winter?" Lu Cheng was surprised.
Lin nodded softly: "There is no distinction between the four seasons for vegetables where we eat."
Lu Cheng listened and fell silent. With such a future, she would definitely not be willing to leave.
"Dad, I want more." Seeing that his father ignored him, Lu Haici stared at his father.
"You can't drink too much." Lu Cheng said, "What if you wet the bed at night?"
Puchi... Lin laughed lightly, Lu Cheng's excuse was perfect. Wetting the bed was the last thing the little kid wanted to happen.
Hearing his mother's laughter, Lu Haici wanted to bury his face in the bowl. He pouted, looked at his father angrily, and angrily drank up the remaining soda in the bowl. However, he never mentioned drinking soda again. He also knew that he would wet the bed.
After eating and resting for a while, they went to the department store to buy things for the elders of the two families.
Shopping is a big deal. They walked around the department store and didn't know what to buy. In the end, Lin Qingqing chose two pairs of rain boots. She couldn't choose anything else: "Why not buy some cloth and make clothes for them?" She could ask Director Ma to buy defective cloth. "Or when the weather gets colder, buy cotton padded jackets or sweaters for everyone."
One pair of these two pairs of rain boots is for Grandpa Lin, and the other is for Lin's father. The original owner only knew the shoe sizes of Grandpa Lin and Lin's father, so Lin Qingqing only bought them. For farmers, they have to work even on rainy days. If they have a pair of rain boots, it will be much more convenient.
Lu Cheng: "You arrange it." He had no idea about this. "When the time comes, I can exchange the milk powder ticket and buy milk powder for them."
Lin Qingqing: "Okay."
The main purpose of coming here today was to accompany Lu Haici to the zoo, which was considered to be a mission accomplished.
After leaving the department store, it was too hot, so they went back directly and rode bicycles to the supply and marketing cooperative. They greeted Director Ma by the way and bought some defective cloth. The most important thing was that Lin Qingqing also bought three ice creams. So, Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng waited until they finished eating the ice cream before returning to the family compound.
Lu Haici eats slowly, but he sits on a bicycle, which does not affect his ice cream.
Back home, Lu Haici went to play with Ji Yang and wanted to share his paintings with Ji Yang. Lin Qingqing started making clothes.
Lin Qingqing is the only girl in the three generations of the Lin family. The fourth generation of the Lin family has not yet come out, and the first generation of the Lin family has passed away.
The first generation is Grandpa Lin, he and Grandma Lin had two sons. Life was very difficult in that era, and it was not easy to support two sons.
The second generation is Grandpa Lin and Little Grandpa Lin. Grandpa Lin is the eldest brother, and he has a younger brother. Because there are only two brothers, their relationship is very good. And because Grandpa Lin is a doctor, he is naturally an educated person, so his younger brother is also very obedient.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin had three sons. Lin Qingqing is the granddaughter of the second wife, and she has a younger brother. Uncle Lin had two sons, and Uncle Lin had three sons.
Rows of sons.
Among Lin Qingqing's generation, the oldest is Uncle Lin's eldest son, Lin Yiyang, who is 21 years old this year. They got married in the first month of last year. Before Lin Qingqing joined the army, his wife was not pregnant yet.
The second is Lin Qingqing, who is 19 years old this year. The following brothers are younger than her. Although they can be said to be relatives, they are not yet of marriageable age. Lin Qingqing's biological brother is 11 years old this year, and the two siblings are 8 years apart. The reason why the two siblings are 8 years apart is because Lin's mother was injured when she gave birth to Lin Qingqing, and she got pregnant after slowly recuperating. Therefore, in Lin Qingqing's memory, this little brother was very attached to the original owner when he was young. However, because of the big age difference, the original owner did not like the younger brother. It's not that she hates him, but in the original owner's mind, he is just a little brat.
After recalling the things about the Lin family, Lin Qingqing had new ideas about gifts. For the younger brothers who are still in school, each of them has a liberation bag, a pencil case, and a comic book. For Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Aunt Lu Cheng, she made a set of clothes for each of them by hand. For other uncles, aunts and aunts, as well as Lu Cheng's uncle, she prepared a piece of cloth for each of them, which is about the size of a piece of clothing. As for Lu Cheng's cousin and others, they were all married, so she didn't prepare anything.
It took Lin Qingqing a whole month to prepare these gifts. The main reason was that Lin Qingqing had just learned how to make clothes and was very interested in sewing machines, so she was willing to make clothes for her elders.
When these gifts were mailed, Lin Qingqing also put five yuan in the letter of the Lin family.
Gaoshanao Production Brigade
"Lin Youpeng... Is Lin Youpeng here? A package has arrived." The courier shouted loudly as soon as he entered the Gaoshanao Production Brigade.
