Chapter 66
Although the package was delivered early in the morning, the villagers went to work early and everyone was already sweating.
Lin Youpeng is the name of Grandpa Lin. Grandpa Lin does not have to go to work, but he is not idle at home. He often goes up the mountain to collect herbs, especially now in summer, he will collect some heat-reducing herbs and give them to everyone for free, so Grandpa Lin has a very good reputation in the Gaoshanao production team.
Because the Lin family has many boys, everyone in the village knows that the Lin family wants girls, so many girls want to marry into the Lin family. If you marry into the Lin family, you don’t have to worry about being looked down upon by your in-laws if you give birth to a girl.
"Lin Youpeng is not here, I am her daughter-in-law, can I receive the package?" Grandma Lin asked loudly in the field.
The ancestors of the Lin family were imperial physicians. Grandpa Lin was a good doctor. Before liberation, although the Lin family was not a landlord, they also had their own pharmacy. Later, the country was in turmoil and the Lin family's pharmacy was disbanded. Grandpa Lin received guests privately. In secret, he also sent some medicine to the country.
How could such a person as Grandpa Lin know Grandma Lin? Grandma Lin
was not educated. Grandma Lin's father used to pull a rickshaw, because pulling a rickshaw usually did not distinguish between day and night. Once, Grandma Lin's father did Grandpa Lin's business, and they gradually became familiar with each other. Later, Grandpa Lin married Grandma Lin.
Later, the country was liberated and the new country was established. They moved to Gaoshan'ao Production Brigade, which is also the ancestral home of the Lin family.
However, Grandma Lin has been with Grandpa Lin for so many years. Although she has never been to school, she still knows a few words. When she was a little girl, her father, who pulled a rickshaw, taught her to read. After she got married, she learned to read from Grandpa Lin.
"Yes, yes, this is Doctor Lin's daughter-in-law. She can receive parcels." The villagers who were working on the side also shouted.
Grandpa Lin was a famous doctor and was respected by people. In addition, Lin Qingqing married a military officer, so everyone respected the Lin family even more.
The postman said, "Okay, you can come and receive it." The postman didn't want the recipient to be away, so he had to make another trip. Although Gaoshan'ao Production Brigade was not remote and was relatively close to the town, he had a lot of packages to deliver. If no one was away, how long would it take for him to come again and again?
When Grandma Lin heard the postman's agreement, she came to receive the package immediately. It was the first time for their family to receive a package. Grandma Lin had a hunch that this thing must have been sent by her granddaughter. Sure enough, when she saw the package, she saw that the sender's name was Lin Qingqing. Fortunately, Grandma Lin still recognized Lin Qingqing or the name of the family. "Comrade, thank you so much." Grandma Lin received the package and said hello to the team leader, "Team Leader, I'll go home to put the package down before I come back to work." Team Leader
: "Okay." The work is scored not based on time, but on the amount of work completed.
When the Lin family saw Grandma Lin carrying the package home, they all looked at her eagerly. They also wanted to go home to see her, but they didn't dare.
Grandma Lin didn't open the package when she got home. She put the package in her room, locked it, and then went back to work. But Grandma Lin didn't work for long, because she came back to make lunch immediately.
Before she finished lunch, Grandpa Lin came back.
As soon as Grandpa Lin got home, he went to the kitchen: "When I came back, I passed by the fields and heard from the villagers that there was a package at home?" Grandpa Lin was a very Confucian country old man, who looked very kind. From his temperament, we can see that he was a gentle person, well educated when he was young, and born into a good family.
There was a package at home, and Grandpa Lin could also think that it was sent by his granddaughter, so he was also a little curious about what his granddaughter sent.
Grandma Lin said, "Yes, I saw the name. It was sent by Qingqing. You said that this child was so fat when she was born that she almost couldn't get out. Later, I was worried that the child would have a strong life, so I named her Qingqing to put some pressure on her. Now it seems that she is a blessed child. Lu Cheng has no parents, no mother-in-law to put pressure on her, and a young boy won't be a problem. She will have a good life in the future."
Seeing her happy look, Grandpa Lin didn't want to pour cold water on her, but said, "Read the letter first. We don't know whether it's good or not."
"Go away, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Grandma Lin didn't like to hear this, "Are you anxious to see the package? Wait until everyone gets here."
Seeing her like this, Grandpa Lin knew that there was no hope for him to see it first, so he went out to fiddle with his herbs.
After a while, the Lin family came back from work. Everyone rushed to ask, "Mom, is this the package Qingqing sent?" The first to ask was Lin's mother, who was the most qualified to ask.
"Mom, what did Qingqing send back?"
"Grandma, did my sister send me some delicious food?"
"Grandma..."
"Mom..."
Although it was lively with more people, it was sometimes annoying because it was too noisy. Grandma Lin's ears were almost deafened by their shouting. "Eat first, I haven't watched it yet. Let's watch it together after dinner."
After hearing what Grandma Lin said, everyone prepared to eat without saying a word.
The Lin family sat separately for men and women when eating. It was not because they favored men over women, but because there were too many people in the Lin family and they could not fit at one table, so men and women sat separately. Grandpa Lin sat at one table with his three sons and grandson, and Grandma Lin sat at another table with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
The Lin family doesn't eat as fast as some other families, which is related to the personal example of Grandpa Lin. After the three sons of the Lin family were born, they naturally followed their parents, so they didn't eat fast. Later, when the daughter-in-law came into the family, she naturally followed the man, so the children born also followed her.
However, today was different. The Lin family ate much faster than usual.
Grandma Lin was old and didn't eat as fast as young people, so when the Lin family finished eating, she was still eating. As a result, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at her, including the old man.
Grandma Lin didn't care about them. She even scolded them: "One by one, you are already so old, but you don't have any patience at all, not even as good as Qingqing. Qingqing could endure until she was 19 before getting married, look at you."
"Mom, we are just curious." Lin Laoer said with a smile. Like all families, Lin Laoer was not valued by his parents before Lin Qingqing was born. However, although Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin did not value him, they did not bully him. There are many sons in the Lin family. Except for the eldest son, the rest of the second and third sons are treated equally.
But how could they know that Lin's mother was pregnant with a girl.
The older generation is very good at looking at the belly. When Lin's mother showed her pregnancy, Grandma Lin thought it was a girl, and then found a fortune teller. It is not to be mentioned that no matter which era, fortune tellers are very good at predicting that Lin's mother was pregnant with a girl. So, Lin's mother began to take supplements every day, and in the end, she almost lost her life.
When Lin Qingqing was born, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were still alive. They were very happy that a girl was born in three generations. At that time, Lin Qingqing was really spoiled. When there was delicious food at home, starting from Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, they were all close to her.
Because the Lin family has always been practicing medicine, the conditions are not bad, and delicious food can be seen every now and then. Therefore, none of the clothes that Lin Qingqing brought with her to the army had patches.
Hearing what Grandma Lin said, Lin's mother thought that her daughter was not intolerant, but had high standards. She had not chosen anyone at the age of 19. In addition, the two elders in the family loved her, and the father-in-law, as a doctor, also believed that it was better for the daughter to get married and have children later. Therefore, no one in the family urged their daughter to get married. Besides, as the only daughter in the three generations of the Lin family, the two elders also wanted to keep their daughter for a few more years. Finally
, after Grandma Lin finished her meal and asked her daughters-in-law to clean up the kitchen, she went to her room and moved out the package sent by Lin Qingqing. The package was indeed very large, but for Grandma Lin, who was used to doing farm work, it was not a big deal.
When the parcel was moved to the main room, everyone stared at it, hoping to see a flower coming out of the parcel.
Grandma Lin: "The parcel hasn't been opened yet, I'll open it now." As she said that, she opened the parcel, and as soon as the parcel was opened, the things inside came out.
"There are so many cloths."
"Did you move the cloths from the supply and marketing cooperative home, big sister?" Lin Yiyang said. As the eldest grandson in the family, Lin Yiyang was taught to protect his sister from a young age because of the birth of Lin Qingqing, a girl who was born only in three generations. Therefore, although they are cousins, Lin Yiyang's feelings for Lin Qingqing are deeper than those of his own brothers and sisters. At the same time, Lin Qingqing also has a good relationship with this brother, because this brother has protected her since she was a child.
"If you don't know how to say it, don't say it." Grandma Lin rolled her eyes at him. "I don't know how many tickets these cloths cost. Qingqing must have owed a lot of favors." After taking out the balls of cloth, there were several Jiefang bags and pencil cases inside, which were obviously for the younger brothers who were studying. Finally, there were two bags of White Rabbit milk candies and a bag of fruit candies. More importantly, a can of milk powder was taken out from it.
"Wow, big sister sent a lot of candies."
"Grandma, I want to eat candies." Lin Luming said. Lin Luming, Lin Qingqing's biological brother, ranked sixth in the Lin family, so he was named Lu. And Lin Yiyang, who ranked first in this generation of the Lin family, was named Yi, and Yi was pronounced Yi.
"Let's talk about it later." Grandma Lin then took out some cloth from the package, "These are clothes. The material of these clothes is really comfortable. They must be very expensive."
Seeing that there were quite a few pieces of clothes, and no one knew who they were for, everyone was very nervous.
"And more..." Grandma Lin finally took out two pairs of rain boots.
"These shoes are good." Grandpa Lin said, "With these shoes, I don't have to worry about going up the mountain." The Lin family was well off in the past, and they are still well off now. It is certain that the family has family property. But unfortunately, the family are all farmers. Even if they have money, they don't have tickets, and they can't buy things in the department store.
Grandma Lin likes to quarrel with Grandpa Lin, so she said: "How do you know it's for you? Maybe it's for me, or for the eldest, second, or third child."
