The Eldest Sister is Like a Stepmother [60’s]

When Xiao Eleven heard his mother say such words, he immediately changed his words: “I don’t dislike it, I don’t dislike it, no matter what gift my mother gives, I like it, and I will treat it as a baby.”

Lin Yiyi was not moved at all: “You have such a sweet mouth at a young age, who did you usually learn from?”

Jin-woo ate in silence.

Little Eleven’s eyes turned and turned to his father, and then pointed to his father: “Learn from him.”

Jin Yu felt that he was a little wronged. He usually wouldn’t say such things. I like all the gifts you gave him, and he felt sore teeth listening to it. but……

Lin Yiyi snorted: “Your father’s ability to speak is not as good as yours.”

Jin-Woo: “…” Does it mean that he is disliked? Jin Yu, who has a strong desire to survive, immediately said, “No, no matter what gift I give, I like it too.”

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Lin Wujun: “Eleven, which hand do you want to choose?”

Little Eleven: “Well… the right hand, I will choose the right hand.”

After he said his right hand, Lin Yiyi spread out his right hand and saw a square badge with a leader’s head in it. Little Eleven: “Wow…” It’s the first grade, of course, Little Eleven knows how great it is to have a badge like this, so his eyes widen.

Lin Wujun: “Sister, show me the gift in your left hand.”

Lin Yiyi spread out her left hand, which contained a round badge of the leader’s head.

The uncle and nephew immediately picked up the badge and looked at it, and those who cherished it were reluctant to wear it. However, the two still have to wear it. As soon as he put it on, Lin Wujun ran away with Little Eleven, and the two were going to school.

Lin Yiyi smiled and shook her head, she was really a child, but the childhood was so beautiful, innocent and carefree.

After Lin Wujun and Little Eleven left, Lin Yiyi continued to eat.

Jin Yu looked at her for a while, and seeing that she didn’t mean to bring out other gifts, he had to say, “Where’s mine?”

Lin Yiyi: “Wait for your meal.”

Jin Yu: “You took out two copies.” The implication is that it’s convenient to take out another copy.

Lin Yiyi: “I can’t get another copy for now, I can only let you know.”

Jin-woo raised his eyebrows, what kind of gift is that?

Lin Yiyi: “Eat.”

With strong curiosity, Jin-Woo continued to eat. However, this time the action is faster than before. When he finished eating, Lin Yiyi finished eating too. Seeing Xiao Yu staring at her, she walked in front of Xiao Yu. She got up, and Jin Yu got up too, Lin Yiyi said, “Don’t you want a gift? Sit and don’t move.”

When Jin Yu heard the words, he sat down obediently. However, when he saw Lin Yiyi approaching, he began to think about it. Lin Yiyi said that gifts cannot be taken out, so… is this to kiss him? My heart is pounding, it’s still daytime, isn’t it a little bad?

In Jin Yu’s cranky thoughts, Lin Yiyi grabbed his hand and put it on his stomach: “Your gift is here, it’s almost 2 months.”

Jin-Woo: “…” What about kiss? Simply a blast. For him, the pregnancy of his daughter-in-law means the monk’s life in the next year. It would be better to kiss him. He wants to return this gift.

Lin Yiyi looked at his unpleasant face and asked, “You don’t like it?”

Jin Yu: “I like it.” He gritted his teeth, unable to express his bitterness.

Lin Yiyi couldn’t help laughing out loud, she touched his head: “Good boy, no matter how we work on this gift, you have to accept him.”

Although Xiao Yu wants to kiss more, but his wife is pregnant with a second child, he is still happy, no matter what, it is his own child, no man will not like many children and grandchildren: “I hope it is a girl, let her in the future. My brother protects her.”

Whether the women of this era have brothers to support them is very different. Of course, with the conditions of their family, even if they don’t have the support of their brothers, they are not afraid.

Lin Yiyi: “It is said that the daughter is the lover of my father’s past life.”

Jin-Woo: “Where did you hear it? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Lin Yiyi: “…”

肖宇：“如果按照这样说的话，那儿子岂不是妈妈上辈子的情人了？难怪那个臭小子我看了很不顺眼，每天都忍着想揍他。”

Lin Yiyi: “…” Son, I’m sorry, my mother caused trouble for you.

Little Eleven, who doesn’t know anything, is showing his badge in the school.

In a blink of an eye, the first month of 1971 arrived.

Because of Lin Yiyi’s pregnancy, they did not go back to the village this year for Chinese New Year. At the age of 29, Xiao Daqiang and Qin Xiangju came and brought vegetables and fish to Lin Yiyi and the others. This was the first time they came to the army. When they came, Xiao Bin used the phone of the pig farm to call the army, so when Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang got off the boat, they saw Xiao Yu who came to pick them up.

Jin Yu: “There are also fish here. Sometimes the villagers on the island will catch fish and trade them. It’s a lot of trouble for you to go back and forth.” Men don’t understand how parents miss their children, especially straight men.

Qin Xiangju: “This year’s fish is very big, so I thought of bringing it to you. The sea fish caught by the villagers are different from the freshwater fish in our pond, so it’s better to change the taste.”

Jin Yu also said casually, he knew his parents were coming, so he came by car, picked up their old couple, and went back to the army. When the car arrived at the army, Little Eleven and Lin Wujun were waiting at the door. Seeing them coming, Little Eleven ran forward enthusiastically: “Grandma…”

Qin Xiangju: “Ah, my good grandson.”

As soon as the car stopped, Qin Xiangju hugged Little Eleven, more enthusiastic than seeing her son.

Xiao Shi hugged Qin Xiangju’s hand and asked, “Grandma, did you and grandpa come to see me on purpose?”

Qin Xiangju: “Yes, grandma gave you and your mother fish and made soup for you. Do you like fish soup?”

Little Eleven: “I like it. Grandma, my mother has a baby, and I’m going to have a fragrant sister.”

Fragrant sister…

Qin Xiangju: “Yes, your mother has a baby. Do you like your sister or your brother?”

Little Eleven: “I don’t like my brother. My brother has a runny nose every day. It’s so dirty.” There are many little boys in the family’s courtyard. Little Eleven saw that they were dirty and snotted every day. Having seen the daughters of the eldest uncle’s family and the second uncle’s family, he still likes his sister, and he wants a sister of his own.

Qin Xiangju: “Then when your mother gives birth to a sister, you must protect your sister well.”

Little Eleven: “Well, I have grown up, I will protect my mother and my sister.”

Qin Xiangju: “What about your father? You don’t protect me anymore?”

Xiao Shi thought about it for a while: “I will protect my father when he is old.”

Following behind them, I listened to Jin Woo all the way: “…” I thank you for your protection. Even when he is old, he does not need his protection when he is old.

Lin Yiyi had already soaked the milk powder and waited for the arrival of the second old man. She was counting the time to soak it. When Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang arrived, the temperature of the milk powder was just right.

Lin Yiyi: “Father, mother, you are here, let’s have a cup of tea to warm up your body.” This day is quite cold, and the New Year is the coldest time of the year.

Qin Xiangju: “I’m really thirsty.” Qin Xiangju was very satisfied when she saw her son soaked milk powder for them. The three daughters-in-law are the most generous of the second family. Of course, the conditions are also good for the second family.

Xiao Daqiang never spoke much in front of his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Yu carried the fish, vegetables, and food from the county town to the kitchen. Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang took six fish, each weighing more than 2 jin. They specially picked them and bought them in the team. .

Qin Xiangju: “Your belly is a bit big, won’t it be twins?”

Lin Yiyi: “It’s not twins, it’s one baby.” It can be checked in the army infirmary.

Qin Xiangju: “When you give birth, will you go to the hospital in the county or here?”

Lin Yiyi: “Having a baby is a minor operation, and there are doctors in the infirmary who can perform minor operations, so I plan to give birth here.”

Qin Xiangju: “Is there an obstetrics and gynecology doctor here?”

Lin Yiyi: “Yes, there are military wives here, so there are doctors in obstetrics and gynecology.” In fact, the army’s infirmary is not small, much larger than the town’s clinic, and there are several doctors. After all, the military doctors who leave with the mission are all Here, so the scale of the infirmary is not small. Like some troops on land, the doctors who go with the mission can be selected from the military hospital, but there is no military hospital on the island, so the doctors are prepared in the infirmary. Relatively speaking, the military doctors here are quite relaxed. .

Several doctors came here a few years ago and were transferred to the army on purpose, probably because they were worried about being implicated by the outside world.

Qin Xiangju: “Then when you are about to give birth, I will come to take care of you, so don’t say no. When the first and third children are born, my grandmother and I will take care of you.”

Lin Yiyi: “Okay, thank you mother. This time, my parents finally came to the army. I also miss my grandparents on Eleven, why not stay for a few more days?”

Qin Xiangju: “Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, we have to go back. We will come back after the New Year.” This time, they mainly brought food. They brought Lin Yiyi’s urban residents’ welfare, thinking that they were on the island. There shouldn’t be enough food, so I sent them the food I received. At the same time, they also miss their grandson a little bit.

Lin Yiyi didn’t force them. The main thing is that tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. The old man always likes to be at home and have reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve.

At noon, Lin Yiyi made a delicious meal to entertain them. During the meal, Xiao Daqiang said: “I have been working in the commune for ten years. If it wasn’t for the second wife, I wouldn’t have such a good job. In the past ten years, we have lived quite well, from the second wife. After entering the door, two workers came out, and there is no one in the brigade who does not envy our family. Second daughter-in-law, I’m here to say thank you. “

As the father-in-law, Xiao Daqiang is the head of the Xiao family. His words are indeed very important. In the past ten years, the Xiao family has produced two workers, and I am very grateful to Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi: “Dad, you’re welcome. Since I’m married to the Xiao family, I naturally have to consider it for the Xiao family.”

Xiao Daqiang sighed: “This time, the main purpose of my visit is to bring you food, and secondly, there is one more thing that I would like to discuss with you.”

Lin Yiyi was a little puzzled.

Jin Yu said directly: “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Daqiang: “I have been working as a guard in the commune for 10 years, and I have about 2,000 yuan in my family’s savings. This money is enough for us to support the old age…” Xiao Daqiang paused for a moment. 2,000 yuan is more than enough. Xiao Daqiang can be said to be the richest man in the village. Well, it is also thanks to the early separation of the family. In fact, people in rural areas can really save money when they become workers, but people in county towns can’t save less than 2,000 after being a worker for ten years, because they need money for everything. The Xiao family eats from the ground and doesn’t need money, so they can save it. “So, so what I mean is, your eldest brother will be 35 after the new year, Xiaozhu will say kiss after the new year, and Xiaorui will be 14 after the new year. He has been in the field for the first half of his life. I don’t have any money either, I’m going to… I’m going to give him this job in the commune.”

Xiao Daqiang sighed and continued: “I am most proud of your family in my life. You married one and one. Not only did I become a worker, the third child also became a worker, and your sister, but… you Brother, he… I know that the eldest daughter-in-law has many shortcomings, but the family is in good condition, so they can’t leave their home. Two years ago, the third built a house and moved out. His house was sold to the eldest for 50 yuan. , Boss…hey…” Being a father, the children are in pain, but seeing the two sons getting better and the eldest getting worse and worse, he felt uneasy. Two years ago, I didn’t propose to give the job to the eldest, because the third was not a regular worker, and I wanted to save some more money. Now the third child has been a regular worker for a few years, and the family has built a house with the same shape as the second one, and the two of them have saved more than 2,000 yuan in savings, so Xiao Daqiang proposed this.

Xiao Yu said: “This job is given to you one by one, what do you think?” If it is the job given by himself, he naturally has no opinion, but he will not be the master of the job given by his wife.

The whole family looked at Lin Yiyi, especially Xiao Daqiang. He was a little nervous. In recent years, although the second daughter-in-law in the big house gave birth to a child and gave milk powder, he never spoke to him, so Xiao Daqiang was very worried that the second daughter-in-law would not agree. .

Lin Yiyi: “It’s good, since my parents have a plan in mind, just follow what you think.” She also had no objection. If this job is not given to Xiao Wu, my in-laws will also be worried. They all talk about their savings, and the subconscious is also saying that they have the ability to support the elderly. They used to work for the elderly. Now they can afford the elderly. son.

In fact, Lin Yiyi also understands the idea of ​​her in-laws. Regardless of her opinion on Qi Spinach, the eldest of the Xiao family is the son of her parents-in-law and her man’s eldest brother. Therefore, in dealing with these things, she might as well be more generous, and there is no need to hurt her in-laws because of others. Once the in-laws are hurt, he is not a good man.

Therefore, if you take a step back and the whole family is happy, it is better to take a step back.

Hearing Lin Yiyi say this, Xiao Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Xiangju also let go of her heart, and sure enough, the second daughter-in-law is still generous.

After this matter was said, the whole family was quite happy all afternoon. Xiao Shi and Lin Wujun went to work, Xiao Yu took a nap, Lin Yiyi took Qin Xiangju to identify the way, and introduced the troops. Xiao Daqiang was fine, sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and then taking care of the small land in the yard.

Lin Yiyi took Qin Xiangju to know the way of the family home, and then took her to the army school: “This is the army school, this is the primary school, this is the nursery school. There are limited children in the army, so the children of the villagers on the island are Everyone can come here to study, it is considered that the army is taking care of the common people.”

Qin Xiangju: “This is good. The common people can’t afford to read, build schools, or hire teachers. Thanks to the army.” From Lin Yiyi, she knows the benefits of reading, not only her, it can be said that because Lin Yiyi is a great teacher The Tang production brigade and the Shanglin production brigade, basically, as long as they have some spare money, they are willing to send their daughters to school. Even if you can’t send it to high school or junior high school, elementary school will still send it. Who says daughter is not good? Look at the Lin family, the daughter raised several younger brothers by herself, sent them to high school, built a brick house for them, and found them a job, who would dare to say that her daughter is not good? A daughter is good to her mother’s family and her husband’s family.

Therefore, Lin Yiyi has objectively changed some patriarchal thoughts by one person.

After leaving the army primary school, Lin Yiyi took Qin Xiangju to the village again and exchanged some things. Qin Xiangju even bought a large bundle of sugar cane. A bundle of sugar cane has about ten roots, and the taste is really sweet, even sweeter than sugar water. Lin Yiyi also bought two bundles, one for the army to eat at home, and the other for her in-laws to help her deliver it to Lin’s house. She never concealed her gifts to her family, and her family often gave her meat and eggs.

The next day, Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang left, and Xiao Yu took them to the dock and watched them get on the boat.

At half past six, Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang got off the wharf and rented an ox cart from the Bainiwan production team. The ox cart arrived at the Shanglin Production Brigade first and stopped in front of Lin Dajun’s house. The gate to the yard in front of Lin Dajun’s house was open, and as soon as the ox cart stopped, the family noticed the movement.

Lin Zhen walked out and saw Qin Xiangju, she said enthusiastically, “My aunt is here.”

Qin Xiangju: “Hey, we went to the army yesterday and sent some food and vegetables to Yiyi and them. I just came back now. Here is what she asked us to bring.”

Lin Zhen: “Ah, the Fourth Army also went to the army this morning, and sent pork and eggs to the eldest sister and the others. You haven’t met.”

Qin Xiangju: “Perhaps it was a little dark, I didn’t pay attention.” On a winter morning, the sky was indeed a little dark.

Lin Zhen moved the things, and Qin Xiangju gave her another letter: “This is the letter that I asked me to bring.”

Lin Zhen: “Thank you auntie, auntie is free to come and sit at home.”

Qin Xiangju: “You’re so polite, then we’ll go back first.”

Lin Zhen: “Hey.” After watching them leave, Lin Zhen opened the letter, and Lin Yiyi explained the distribution of some things in the letter. Lin Zhen hurriedly took these things to give away. She first sent kelp, dried shrimp and dried fish to Mr. Ying, and then took two sugar canes, “Lao Ying, Xiaoshuang…”

You should always be drying herbs and cleaning. In the past six months, the grandparents and grandchildren have liked the village very much. The people in the village are very enthusiastic. When Ying Lao treats them, they do not charge for the medicinal materials, so they will give Ying Lao vegetables and eggs. Eggs are precious things, and Ying Lao will not accept them, but if they are vegetables, he will occasionally accept them.

Ying Lao: “What is this?”

Lin Zhen: “My eldest sister’s in-laws went to the army yesterday, and they came back today. This is what the eldest sister entrusted them to bring. This is for you.”

Ying Lao: “Comrade Lin Yiyi is so polite, so we will accept it.”

Lin Zhen: “Where is it, the New Year’s Eve is a reunion night. Will you and Xiaoshuang come to our house for dinner at noon today?”

Ying Lao: “Okay, okay…” He saw that the Lin family was good, the brothers of the Lin family were harmonious, and they were all honest people. Lin Zhen’s sister-in-law has a good personality. If his granddaughter can marry into such a family, he will be relieved when he dies. Besides, he also inquired about the Lin family during the short half year here. For example, the parents of the Lin family died during the famine. For example, Lin Yiyi discovered the kitchen pit to grow vegetables, for example, her pig-raising skills were very good, etc. A half-old girl raised her four younger brothers to adults. She also took good care of her adopted brother. Of course, she didn’t beat her in-law’s family’s autumn wind, and at the same time gave her husband’s family two workers positions. Such a woman should always be very at ease, and also with admiration. Therefore, he felt that it would be good for his granddaughter to marry Lin Sanjun. There is no mother-in-law’s family, and the sister-in-law is easy to get along with. The only aunt who is equivalent to a mother-in-law is also easy to get along with. If the granddaughter married into the Lin family, life would definitely be easier.

In addition, my granddaughter has medical skills and is respected as a doctor in the village clinic. These days, it is much better than in the city.

After Lin Zhen gave the things to Lao Ying, she took another copy and went to the old house of the Lin family. Zhang Xiaojun didn’t go to the Workers’, Peasants’ and Soldiers University until after the year, so he is still in the old house of the Lin family.

Lin Zhen: “This is brought by the eldest sister from the army. Yesterday, the uncle and aunt of the Xiao family went to the army and just came back.”

Zhang Xiaojun: “Thank you, sister-in-law for bringing it here…Are you going to sister-in-law’s place during Chinese New Year?”

Lin Zhen was taken aback: “Go to the army?”

Zhang Xiaojun: “Yes, I will go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University after the new year, and I want to have a meal with my eldest sister and her family before I go.”

Lin Zhen: “I don’t know if there was a boat shift in the first year of junior high, but there must be some in the third year of junior high. Should we go there? I’ll discuss with the army.”

Zhang Xiaojun: “Okay, talk to me after you’ve discussed it with eldest brother.”

Lin Zhen: “Well, come to our house for lunch on the first day of the new year, and call Fang Fang’s eldest brother.”

Zhang Xiaojun: “Okay, let’s eat at our house on the first night of the new year.”

Lin Zhen nodded.

This is the way of ritual exchanges. Although Zhang Xiaojun has gone out adoptively, as long as he still keeps his duty, the Lin family is also willing to give him face in the Shanglin production team.

Xiao family

Today is New Year’s Eve, Qin Xiangju and Xiao Daqiang came home from the army and saw Grandma Xiao bringing Qi Spinach and Liang’s family to prepare a reunion dinner, and seeing their old couple coming, Xiao Wu and Xiao Bin hurried to help with things .

During lunch, Xiao Daqiang said something about work: “When I go to work next year, the boss will go to the commune with me to go through the formalities. From next year, I will give you this job.”
