Chapter 50 Family Letter

Sun Xiaohong couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to rush in to find Lin Yue, but was stopped by Sun San.

"Xiaohong, if you go there now, you'll be looking for trouble. Not only will Lin Yue not let you stay, he will also humiliate you."

"Third brother, what do you say we should do? Lin Yue hasn't looked for me yet, has he... started looking for another woman? He's not someone who can hold back!"

Sun Er: "Humph, I'll put him in a sack when he's alone..."

"Second brother! Do you want to go to jail?" Sun San said sternly: "Beating people is illegal, do you care about your mother and sister-in-law's children?"

Sun Er sneered angrily.

Sun San finally gave Sun Xiaohong some advice, "We will go to training in a few days. There will be only one old lady at home. You can come and say something nice then. You must not fight back when scolded or hit. You should comfort Baoer well. You will come back as soon as he cries."

Sun Xiaohong had to endure it. She was really afraid that Lin Yue would not be able to hold back and look for another woman.

If he could be seduced and deceived by her, why couldn't he be seduced by other women?

He was young and handsome, and now he was a tractor operator. His family conditions would get better and better in the future. Wouldn't those women come after him? Sun

San took her away by force.

Lin Shu had lived very comfortably at home these two days.

After the eldest sister-in-law passed the exam to become a tractor operator, Fang Dihua did not let her go to work. She asked her to clean up at home and help Lin Shu.

After cutting down the three big trees, the yard became much emptier, brighter, and the vegetables grew better.

Now the plants are lush and green, with vegetables, flowers, and vines, turning the spacious farmyard into a large flower garden.

Anyone who sees it can't help but praise it, "Wow, what a beautiful yard."

The eldest sister-in-law helped to repair the small fish pond designed by Lin Shu these two days, and went back to her mother's village to buy a pot of fish fry and put it in, and then put some aquatic plants in to raise them.

Originally, she thought that a stagnant pool in the yard would easily stink in summer and could not raise fish at all, but Lin Shu's design was also clever.

There is a water inlet ditch on one side, which is higher, and a drainage ditch on the other side, which is deeper.

The drainage ditch goes deep around the vegetable patch, and can be used to water the vegetables when the water is released. The water in the fish pond is more nutritious and fattens the vegetables. It goes around and connects to the ditch, so the water can be discharged outside.

There is a small stone dam in the ditch, and the dam is lowered to block the water if it does not drain.

The green manure pit that Lin Shu made herself has also taken shape. It is all humus soil without odor, green and environmentally friendly, and is used to fertilize the vegetable patch, so that the vegetables grow lush and dense. There are too many

vegetables at home to eat, and they can't be eaten at all!

She will share them with Aunt Li, Jin Ping'er, Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Wang and others when she is free.

Now she stews eggplant with soybean paste for the family every day, and feeds Brother Lu so much that he misses going home for dinner all day long, and wishes he could eat five meals a day.

Brother Lu is happy, and Sister-in-law is happy too, right?

After the trees were cut down, there was space in the yard. Lin Shu asked her family to help tamp out a foundation, and asked Fang Dihua and the others to find two stone mills.

A larger one could grind flour, and when she was in a hurry, she could just push

the mill at home instead of going to the mill. She could also push a smaller one to grind pulp. She

didn't have to work in the wind, sun, and rain. She was grateful for her family's care for her, and always wanted to make delicious food for them in different ways.

Cornmeal steamed buns were actually very unpalatable. If they were not fermented, they would be hard and uncomfortable for people with a bad stomach.

She wanted to make Shandong pancakes.

Shandong pancakes were very famous in her previous life, and she had learned to make them. Not only Shandong pancakes, but also the pancakes that were everywhere.

Unfortunately, she lacked fine flour, which limited her ability to make. She could only make corn pancakes, millet pancakes, bean flour and sorghum flour pancakes, sweet potato flour pancakes, egg pancakes...

Anyway, she could make pancakes in different ways and roll them with lots of vegetables. They were nutritious and delicious.

Slurp...

A certain military region.

Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming came back from the training ground.

Chen Yanming looked like someone who had just been pulled out of the water. He looked at Lu Shaotang wearing a pair of military pants and a plain shirt, looking clean and fresh, and asked jealously, "Lu, didn't you participate in the competition?"

Lu Shaotang: "I have met you before."

Chen Yanming: "Then how come you are so... slutty?"

He himself smelled of sweat, so how could Lu Shaotang be clean and fresh?

It was unrealistic!

Lu Shaotang: "I told people I was injured, and they let me go."

Chen Yanming: "Keep pretending! You are as strong as a cow!"

When we first found him, he looked like he had been fished out of plasma and dried. But later, the doctor cleaned his wounds and found that there were no fatal injuries on his body. The most serious injury was probably the injury caused by knocking his head and making him comatose.

Most of the blood on his body belongs to the enemy!

The stab wound on his abdomen was not very deep.

When the dagger stabbed him, his muscles tightened and exerted force, which was able to prevent the dagger from penetrating, so the abdominal organs were not injured.

This man's superior physical performance is really... enviable.

The two took their lunch boxes and went to the canteen to grab food.

Thanks to Lu Shaotang, Chen Yanming got his beloved braised pork without having to fight for it today!

A whole lunch box full of it!

"37, letter!" The communicator ran over and threw a thick letter to Chen Yanming.

The letter was too heavy, and it drew an arc in the air and almost fell into the soup bowl of the soldier next to him.

Lu Shaotang quickly grabbed the letter in his hand.

The military region has convenient communication, so they used a specific method to start writing and receiving letters to their families, and the speed was several times faster than when they were in the southwest.

Of course, Lu Shaotang could not write letters in his own identity, because he was now in a "sacrificial" state, so Chen Yanming had to take care of the communication needs of two people.

Chen Yanming: "Old Lu, my letter."

Lu Shaotang said calmly: "Mine. You only write letters to others and no one replies to you."

When Chen Yanming was in the military academy, he only wrote letters to others and seldom received replies. Later, Chen Yanming pretended to write letters to himself, but Lu Shaotang saw through it at a glance.

At that time, they were still enemies to each other.

Chen Yanming is still the same after all these years.

Chen Yanming said angrily: "It's not that my family doesn't write to me, it's that I don't let them write, and I have no place to live."

Lu Shaotang moved lightly, seemingly calm but hiding a hint of urgency, and he opened the seal with a light stroke of his thumb and index finger.

He hasn't received letters from home for a long time. His parents must be very sad at his expense. They should understand what he means after receiving the remittance.

They shouldn't be sad, right?

He couldn't wait to take out the letter, and was stunned for a moment. This... was obviously the child's homework paper, a thick stack, and... what was this thing with the scribbles on it?

Chen Yanming had already come over, put his arm around Lu Shaotang's shoulder and rubbed his hands against the letter from home. He read as he read: "Dear father, Tuhei, Dad, beloved father, Tuhei, Dad, hahahaha, Lao Lu, is this a letter written by your child? Haha, how can it be so cute..."

Jealousy, beast!

Lu Shaotang, who always has a stern face and is always polite to female comrades, actually has a wife and a child!

It's unfair, he hasn't been home for several years, where did the child come from!

If he has a child like this, then God owes me two children.

He continued to read: "I am writing a letter to you with my mother, Tuhei, mother, and brother. Now, I want to tell you something about family. What is family? Family affairs?"

"Mom, what are these scribbles below? Are they little guys fighting? Let me see, let me see."

He snatched the letter from Lu Shaotang's hand.

Lu Shaotang quickly switched his left and right hands, so fast that people could hardly see how he switched.

Chen Yanming: "...What are you showing off to me? I know you are so fast because you have been single for many years."

Lu Shaotang glanced at him and put the letter away. No matter how hard Chen Yanming tried, he couldn't find where he hid it.

Chen Yanming: "Fuck, Lu Shaotang, you hid it in your pants/crotch."

Lu Shaotang: "I'll show it to you when I get back to the dormitory."

The letter was written by his two children!

Lu Shaotang was very excited, but he still looked calm and didn't show any emotion.

But he was really excited.

He had two children, a daughter and a son, how come it was so perfect?

​​Oh, he was so amazing, and his wife was also amazing. Although she didn't like him, she raised the two children very well, and for this she deserved his highest respect.

He only knew that he had children, a daughter and a son, but he had never seen photos of the children, because he was in an extremely cold place at the time and couldn't receive letters. He only knew that his family wrote to him, and the leader would find an opportunity to report to him after reading the letters on his behalf.

The leader didn't understand his thoughts. He only said that everything was fine at home and that his wife had given birth to twins.

Then what? He didn't tell him anything about his wife, daughter, son, weight, hands and feet, and how they looked.

He had told his parents that they were not allowed to send photos because of work regulations.

But his leader was nice and sent photos to his family for him.

He knew that he had children but had never seen them. Although he had never seen them, he always felt tender in his heart.

Tenderness that he had never felt before.

Now was the first time he received something from his children.

He didn't expect that after escaping death and waking up from the brink of death, he would receive a letter from his children.

This was God's compensation and reward to him.

He was grateful.

His heart was filled with joy. He

turned over a thousand somersaults in his heart.

He had practiced martial arts a thousand times. He had crossed

the Pacific Ocean and back.

…

His parents were still very frugal with words. They would not write about anything that was not important, and would not mention normal things. He had to guess that, well, they were in good health, and his eldest brother, his eldest sister-in-law, his second brother, his second sister-in-law, and so on were all normal.

The only person his parents mentioned in the letter was his wife. His

father said that his wife had changed. She might have been stimulated by the news of his sacrifice. She was much more sensible than before, and she loved to study.

She had an adventure!

He didn't say what adventure it was.

He didn't say how she was sensible and loved to study.

And his wife who loved to study didn't say a word to him.

She...estimated, probably, 80%, should, possibly, definitely...did she still dislike him?

In the letter he had sent before, he told his parents that if she wanted to leave, they would let her go free. But now, when he saw the letter from the two children, he suddenly felt a tenderness that he had never felt before.

She had taught the children very well. If she left, would she take the children away?

That was his child.

Although he had never met him, he had kept him in his heart for more than a thousand days and nights.

He wanted her to stay.

Shouldn't his parents tell her that he was still alive?

But he had already written a letter to allow her to leave. Did they receive the letter?

Then... would she leave?

Or would she stay for the two children, stay in the Lu family?

Tomorrow, Mrs. Lu will go to the city tractor factory for training. She will go back to her parents' home in the afternoon. Lin Shu will use a sewing machine at home to alter her sister-in-law's clothes and make her own shirts.

Sewing clothes by hand is slow and tiring, but she doesn't want to do it. She originally planned to get a sewing machine first.

Now that she has a sewing machine, it is really light and beautiful to make clothes.

Panpan and Tiantian woke up from their nap and ate a cucumber. They originally wanted to go out to play, but Huahua, Huzi and other children came to them to read comic books.

Lin Shu put the two-meter-long elliptical cushion at home in the main room and let them sit there barefoot to read.

Tiantian is responsible for reading, Panpan is responsible for explanation and dubbing, and Huzi and Huahua are the atmosphere group.

When Tiantian recited to the tense moment, Panpan would go "wooooooo ...

Lin Shu looked up at her two children from time to time while operating the sewing machine, her heart filled with joy.

As long as she was alive and well, the children would be able to grow up healthily, without having to take detours and being bullied.

My children, your old mother will clear away all obstacles for you.

What about the beggar, Sun Xiaohong, all go away.

When the sister-in-law came back, Lin Shu gave her new shoes and let her try on the modified clothes.

Sister-in-law Lu looked very beautiful in them, "I actually have a waist?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, of course you have a waist."

You are just tall and strong, not without a waist.

In the afternoon, Lin Shu used the ready-made cornmeal and boiling water to make a small bowl of batter, and tried to make pancakes in the evening.

In her previous life, she loved to think about cooking. For example, when making pancakes, in addition to using raw water to make the batter, you can also use boiling water to boil the batter, and the pancakes that come out will not be too dry or woody. You can also use boiling water to boil a large soft dough, roll the boiled dough on the griddle, and it will also be a pancake.

If you are not good at making pancakes, you can use rolling.

Generally, pancakes made from rolling the batter are thicker and softer, while pancakes made from boiling the dough are soft and chewy, and are not easy to fall apart when eaten with cabbage.

She tried making two things, a few pancakes made from the batter and a few pancakes made from the boiled dough. She would make more of whichever one her family liked.

Later, you can soak some millet, dried sweet potatoes, mung beans, soybeans, and peas to make pancakes of various flavors.

Sister-in-law Lu was amazed at the thin pancakes, "Sister-in-law, you are getting better and better!"

She almost forgot what her sister-in-law was like before.

Lin Shu said mischievously, "Don't worry, big brother will definitely like it."

Sister-in-law Lu happily hummed, "This pancake roll with stewed eggplant is definitely delicious."

Tiantian and Panpan also ate it with praise, and praised it vigorously, using the words they learned from the comic book to praise, "This pancake is so delicious! It's so delicious!"

There are many side dishes for the rolls. In addition to stewed eggplant, Lin Shu also made a lot of dishes, boiled green vegetables, lettuce, raw cucumber strips, and a portion of eggs stewed with Chinese toon sprouts and pickled vegetables.

Even if you don't roll the vegetables, it's delicious if you roll it with soybean paste, green onions, garlic sprouts, and leeks.

When Fang Dihua and others came home one after another, Mrs. Lu and her two sons were full.

Brother Lu loved it at first sight, and he gave a thumbs up while eating, praising Lin Shu.

"It's so delicious! Third aunt, your cooking is getting better and better!" Lu Ping praised it endlessly.

Lu An also hummed vigorously, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak because of the food.

Grandpa hadn't come back to eat the pancakes yet, Panpan and Tiantian couldn't wait to run to greet him, and Lu Ping also led Lu An to follow.

Soon, Dad Lu put some eggs in a basket, and Lu Ping and his brother brought Panpan and Tiantian back together.

Lin Shu took the egg and said, "Dad, who gave it to you?"

Old Man Lu said, "This is the medical fee."

Panpan sighed and said with a money-grubber look, "Hey, I expected it a long time ago. Grandpa must pay for being a doctor."

Tiantian said, "That's because Grandpa is kind. Grandma said that people should know how to pity the poor and the weak. When we are not hungry, we should help others appropriately."

Panpan pressed his heart and said, "Oh."

Old Man Lu washed his hands and touched Panpan's head, "We got a bargain."

At the beginning, people who came to the clinic brought money to see a doctor, but after a while, they started to think about it. If

the family is not well-off and wants to treat a chronic disease, what should they do?

Can they use eggs?

An egg would cost five to five and a half cents to deliver to the supply and marketing cooperative, and eight cents on the black market, so he gave five cents to Old Man Lu.

Old Man Lu also happily agreed.

After all, his wife had said that if the eggs were not sold, they would be used to improve the family's diet, so wasn't the money he made also for buying rice, flour, eggs, etc.?

This also saved him from running errands to buy eggs.

Five cents a piece, and he was getting a bargain.

Most of the members who used eggs were proud, so in order to avoid being accused of being stingy and not taking advantage of Dr. Lu, they deliberately picked the big eggs for him.

Fang Dihua: "If there are too many eggs, don't let them go bad if you can't finish them. We have to send some to the supply and marketing cooperative."

She asked Lin Shu to make more eggs in the future. Eating eggs without meat is also good for the body

. Brother Lu, a foodie, started to list the dishes, "Boiled eggs, pickled eggs, boiled eggs, stewed eggs, egg pancakes, egg and chive boxes, egg flowers, and occasionally fried eggs... slurp."

Fang Dihua glared at him with disdain, but didn't scold him in the end. There were many eggs at home, so she didn't dislike him so much.

Seeing that there were many eggs today, she asked Lu Ping to send ten to Jin Ping'er.

Xu Laonian still acts like a farmhand of the Lu family. Whenever he has time, he goes to work on the private plot of the Lu family. No matter how many times he is told, he won't listen.

If there is extra money in the future, keep some for the eldest daughter and the younger daughter.

Although Lu Hehuan is annoying, she is still her daughter. How can her parents not love her?

Fang Dihua has the right to share the things and money earned by Lu Laodie. She basically didn't share the money sent back by Lu Shaotang before. That was earned by San'er. She just took out the money to support his wife and children. She saved the extra money.

No matter what she will do in the future, it's always right to save some money, and she won't let others know about this money.

Although the dinner was already rich, Lin Shu still boiled water to make a bowl of white sugar egg drop soup for everyone to drink. It is easy to get angry in the summer, and drinking it can relieve the heat. Everyone

can get a bowl. Second

brother Lu drank two sips and shared it with his daughter-in-law and second sister-in-law Lu.

After finishing his own, eldest brother Lu was still thinking about his wife and son.

Lu Ping gave some to Lu An, but Lu An was afraid that his father would snatch it away, so he drank it all by himself. Sister-in-law

Lu wanted to share with eldest brother Lu, but was glared at by Fang Dihua.

The eldest sister-in-law Lu's hand trembled, and she turned the bowl and poured some for Lin Shu, "Sister-in-law, drink more and take good care of yourself." The

second sister-in-law Lu drank the wine that her husband gave her, but she felt unhappy. She saw that her mother-in-law also gave some to Lin Shu, and the eldest sister-in-law also gave some to Lin Shu.

Why didn't they give some to herself?

Father Lu gave his share to Tiantian and Panpan, and he did not share it with the other children as they were older. However,

Tiantian and Panpan wanted to drink with him, and the three of them were very affectionate, which made Second Sister-in-law Lu so angry that she snorted.

Two little lickers!

She glared at the concubine again, but Lu Cuicui did not make eye contact with her. After dinner, she hurriedly followed the boys out to find Zhiliao Monkey.

The next morning, Sister-in-law Lu had to go see the concubine first, so she went to the commune early.

She put on the new cloth shoes made by Lin Shu, and her clothes were also altered by Lin Shu to make them fit better.

Fang Dihua gave her two five-yuan notes to keep with her, saying that she could spend five yuan, and the other five yuan must be returned unless it was urgent.

Brother Lu begged Fang Dihua to let him send his wife off, "Just send her to the commune."

Fang Dihua: "You just want to be lazy, send her off and come back to work!"

Brother Lu happily agreed.

When he and Sister Lu went out, Fang Dihua heard him coaxing his wife, "Don't forget to buy me some delicious food."

Sister Lu: "Of course I will buy it. I heard that there are braised pork elbows and pig trotters in the market. They are not expensive. I will buy them for you later."

Brother Lu: "I don't know if Lao Cui's roast chicken in the commune is still for sale. Let's go and have a look."

Fang Dihua was so angry that she almost pulled a piece of firewood from the wall to beat him.
