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

Mrs. Ge’s house

The three brothers of the Lin family had just had lunch and were resting when they suddenly heard their sister’s voice, and they thought they had heard it wrong.

Lin Yiyi: “Grandma Ge, the army, the third army, the fourth army…”

Lin Dajun: “I seem to hear our sister’s voice.”

Lin Sanjun: “Yes.”

Lin Sijun: “My sister can’t ride a bicycle, so she won’t come. My brother-in-law hasn’t had a rest day yet. I miss my sister too, and there’s nothing else in the field. Let’s go to the county seat this week to find her.”

Lin Dajun: “Well, it’s only the beginning of the month, and my sister must still have meat. We can still eat meat.”

Lin Sijun: “I want to go early.”

Lin Yiyi: “Grandma Ge, the army, the third army, the fourth army, are you not here?”

Mrs. Ge went out of the room: “Yes, are the children resting?”

Lin Yiyi: “Grandma Ge.”

Lin Dajun, who was resting, said, “It seems that it’s really our sister.” He hurriedly ran out and saw that Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju had arrived at the door with their things, “Sister.” Lin Dajun’s eyes lit up.

Lin Yiyi said, “I’ve been calling you guys for a long time, but the Third Army and Fourth Army are not here?”

Lin Sijun: “Sister, we are here, what did you bring us?”

Lin Yiyi: “It’s getting cold, so I brought you the cotton-padded clothes and pants that I told you about. They’re army green, and the color worn by the PLA looks good, right?”

Lin Dajun happily compared his clothes, Lin Sanjun sniffed it in his arms, and Lin Sijun put on his clothes immediately.

Lin Yiyi said to Mrs. Ge again: “Grandma Ge, I brought half a catty of oil, a catty of meat, a catty of eggs, two catties of Fuqiang powder, and Dajun’s food. Thank you for taking care of Dajun and them. I’ll give you a meal with eggs.”

Mrs. Ge said, “Yiyi, you are such a good elder sister. Dajun and the others are really lucky to have an elder sister like you.” Whose elder sister is so polite these days? I feed my brother meat every month.

Lin Yiyi stayed at Mrs. Ge’s house for a while, and then went to Xiao’s house for lunch. The younger brothers of the Lin family were reluctant, so they naturally followed, and then the three wore army green cotton jackets. The jackets were bigger, and they were growing. In this era, it is impossible to wear clothes for only one year. There were three and a half boys in a row, wearing padded jackets of the same color, which was still very attractive. In addition, Lin Wudi was wearing a royal blue smock. The four brothers walked sideways hand in hand, blocking all the way, but they Happy.

Granny Ge looked at their backs and sighed, this is life, Dajun and the others have to say, life is really good, there is a promising sister who can take care of them.

Lin Yiyi was in front of them, black corduroy pants, beige sweater, black cotton vest, cloth shoes, looking like a literary girl.

Qin Xiangju occasionally turned her head to look at her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law, who had been thin with only bones, had grown flesh before her eyes. Unlike her pale face before, her face was now ruddy and full of energy. Looking at her outfit again, Qin Xiangju sighed slightly, no wonder the eldest daughter-in-law would be jealous. Looking back on Lin Yiyi before marriage, compared with now, the gap is too big.

When I arrived at Xiao’s house, Grandma Xiao had already prepared noodles, shredded pork and scallion oil noodles, which were very fragrant.

After eating the noodles, Lin Yiyi chatted with the elders of Xiao’s family for a while, and then said to the younger brothers of the Lin family: “Dajun, my sister is here this time, and I want to discuss something with your brothers.”

Lin Dajun: “Sister, what’s the matter?”

Lin Yiyi: “Sister wanted to write more manuscripts a few years ago and make more money, but the Fifth Army was not with me. Moreover, in the county town, the Fifth Army was unaccompanied and lonely, and your brothers were not together. How can we cultivate brotherhood in the future? Besides, Wujun will be three years old after the new year, and when he grows up, it is not suitable for him to sleep with his sister and her husband. So, my sister thinks about it, you three brothers take turns, and one person goes there every week. Live in the county seat, and then lead the five armies. Dajun, you are the eldest brother, what do you think?”

Lin Dajun: “Okay.” Living in the county = there is delicious food, why would he disagree.

Lin Yiyi said it at the Xiao family, and the Xiao family was there, so naturally they all heard it. Qi Spinach pursed his mouth, and couldn’t help but said in his heart, the villain is successful.

county seat

Xiao Yu hadn’t slept well in the past half month. He and Bureau Yang followed the clues to the place where the north and south meet. Together with the police over there, they made a careful plan. The police over there even used their own children as bait. , only then did that group of people be wiped out, and a few children who could be rescued were released, but some of them have been tossed around for several times and can no longer be found.

In fact, the pressure of this plan is very high. After all, they used the public security child as bait. Although the public security proposed it themselves, they were deeply afraid that the child would have an accident in the middle. Fortunately, the plan was very successful. .

When he got home, he saw that the door was locked and his wife was not there.

“Comrade Xiao Yu…” Grandma Wang next door came out, “The daughters have gone to the countryside, and they have sent things to your hometown, and they have sent a full car, this daughter is the most filial old man I have ever seen. Meat and oil are all sent to your hometown, you are really lucky to have such a good wife.”

Jin-Woo: “Thank you for telling me, 1-1 is really good.”

There are very few thieves these days, and even some places, especially in rural areas, do not lock the door at all, except for the kitchen cabinet.

Jin Yu didn’t bother to go to the public security station to rest again. Around this point, his wife was coming back soon, and he knew that Lin Yiyi would not stay overnight in his hometown.

Lin Yiyi came back in the ox cart of the production team, paid the money at the county seat, and brought Lin Sijun with her when she came back. She decided to let Lin Sijun sleep with Lin Wudi. Even on the road, she was still thinking about what they would eat at night.

When he got home, he saw a man sitting at the door of the room, leaning on the door panel and falling asleep. But soon, the man opened his eyes, and he woke up and stood up: “Are you back?”

Lin Yiyi looked at Xiao Yu, and it took a while before she realized: “You are finally back.” She stepped forward, surprised and concerned, “Is everything going well? Are you not injured? Look at you, isn’t it a long time? Didn’t you get a good rest?”

Jin Yu said: “It went well, no injuries, I want to rest.”

Lin Yiyi wanted to open the door: “I’ll boil water for you first, take a shower and then go to bed.”

Jin Yu: “No, just take a cold shower.”

And then…there is no water for a cold shower at home.

Lin Yiyi: “…” The water here is always on the side of the faucet, and you have to fetch the water yourself. Unlike later generations, there are faucets by house and household. Lin Yiyi has to carry it several times a day, but it is enough. of.

Jin Yu: “I’m going to fetch water.” Saying that, he went to the utility room to get a bucket and a pole. Then, he saw the clothes and trousers drying on the clothes pole, Lin Yiyi’s underwear and inner bra, and his underwear. The person who was still a little sleepy suddenly woke up. Daughter-in-law bought him underwear…

Jin Yu picked out two buckets of water and poured it into the water tank, then took a cold shower and went back to his room to sleep. When I entered the room, I saw a royal blue woolen sweater with a low neck on the bed, which was a man’s at first glance. He touched it. The material was soft, woolly, and itchy.

Lin Sijun took Lin Wujun to play, but he didn’t go far, so he played nearby.

Lin Yiyi first took out the clothes in the utility room to dry, and then went to another room. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was there, she bought two 6-jin quilts from the system mall, one for the back. Otherwise, if there is no winter quilt at home, how can the two younger brothers sleep? Lin Yiyi came out of the room to prepare dinner. Thinking of Xiao Yu’s hard work in the past half month, Lin Yiyi went out with a basket, and told Lin Sijun who was playing outside: “Sijun, sister, go out to buy something, Don’t go far with your brother, be careful with Hanako, and call someone if something happens, you know?”

Lin Sijun: “Hey, I know.”

Lin Yiyi: “Be good, come back and give you some candy.”

Lin Sijun responded louder: “Hey.”

Lin Yiyi didn’t go to buy things, she just went to the supply and marketing cooperative for a walk, and then put the things she bought in the system mall into the basket, so that in the eyes of her family, she bought it from outside. However, she also realized one thing, there is someone with children at home, and it is convenient for her to do everything.

Lin Yiyi came back with the basket and saw Lin Sijun playing with Lin Wudi and other children. In fact, Lin Yiyi has never been in contact with other people here. She has been in contact with Grandma Wang. On weekdays, she writes scripts at home and does not go out, so it has been more than 2 months, and she is not familiar with others. . Seeing Lin Sijun and her younger brother playing with everyone, she said, “Sijun.”

Lin Sijun brought his younger brother over: “Sister.”

Lin Yiyi: “Are these the little friends you just met?”

Lin Sijun said: “They are playing with cars, I’m watching.” There was some envy in his tone. In this day and age, having a car is such a facetious thing.

Lin Yiyi took out a pack of fruit candies from the basket. These were fruit candies from the 1960s that she specially found in the system mall. There are several flavors of candy, and the candy paper is in line with the characteristics of this era, with fruits painted on it. Lin Yiyi bought a pound and spent 13 yuan. When she was taking the candy, the children playing with the car kept looking at them. The children of this era still have a consensus that the elders in the family go to the supply and marketing cooperative, which means they have something to eat, so the elders came back from the supply and marketing cooperative. When the time comes, the children will greet them and beg for food.

Lin Yiyi gave the fruit candy to Lin Sijun: “Take it and eat it with the children, don’t be reluctant, after eating, my sister still has it here.”

Lin Sijun: “Hey.” He happily took the fruit candy and walked over. The children also heard Lin Yiyi’s words, and one of them said, “This is my car, let’s play with you.”

Lin Sijun: “This is the candy my sister gave me, for you to eat.”

Lin Yiyi went into the kitchen, then closed the door. She started to buy things in the system mall. The things in the basket were just common eggs, taro and tomatoes, and the others were rarely bought outside. She bought them when she got home, so as not to The packaging was found when I got it back.

She bought half a sliced ​​roast duck, put it on a plate, and bought a pound of cucumber. Then I started cooking, made a tomato egg drop soup, patted cucumbers and added sweet and sour, and then I bought a portion of salt and pepper potatoes for cooked food. The rice was rice and coarse grains. When it was about to get better, I opened the door and called someone. .

Lin Yiyi: “Brother Yu, get up and eat.”

Although Xiao Yu was sound asleep, people like him are very alert, and when Lin Yiyi called out, he woke up: “Come on.” The men’s woolen sweater Yiyi put on the bed was worn.

Lin Yiyi stood at the gate of the yard: “Fourth Army, it’s time to eat.”

Lin Sijun: “It’s coming soon.”

Lin Yiyi: “Come on, the meal is going to be cold.” After urging a few times, he turned around and saw Xiao Yu standing in the yard doing a few stretches. Lin Yiyi’s eyes were fixed on him, compared to the tired look on his face before. , The man who has taken a bath and put on a sweater should not be too handsome. And Jin-Woo is tall and has a good figure, just like a walking hanger.

Seeing Lin Yiyi staring at him, Xiao Yu’s face was a little thin, but he didn’t show it, so he said calmly: “This sweater is good, isn’t it expensive?”

Lin Yiyi: “As long as it’s for Brother Yu, it’s worth it no matter how expensive it is.”

Jin Yu: “…” His heart beat a little faster for no reason.

Lin Yiyi stepped forward, dragged him into the room, and took out a remittance voucher from the drawer. The money on this remittance voucher has been withdrawn, and this is the receipt left.

Jin Yu looked at it for unknown reasons, and then said in surprise, “So much?” More than 700 yuan, which is more than 9 months’ salary.

Lin Yiyi explained: “The publishing house said that my current manuscript fee is based on the number of prints. The first 5,000 copies were printed, and they gave me the manuscript fee of 918, deducting the 200 that had been sent before, so here is 718. Wait for 5,000 copies soon. When it sells out, I will continue to print. In fact, if I pay according to the number of copies, if the sales are good, I will still be very good. If the remuneration is based on the number of words, my first two stories are 200,000 words, which is only 400 yuan, which is one-time.”

After listening to her explanation, Jin Yu realized how powerful his daughter-in-law is. These things are not in the field he has learned, so he doesn’t understand, but after that, he will understand. Jin Yu is such a character. When he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he thinks it is useful to him, so he will learn it. It is necessary for him to understand his daughter-in-law’s work, and it is as important as his own work. After thinking about it, Jin Yu suddenly learned from Lin Yiyi: “You are awesome.”

The low voice was slightly raised, with a little pride: “You are making more money than me now, it seems that I have to work hard.”

Lin Yiyi smiled slightly, with a hint of arrogance in her smug look, but not too proud, she raised her chin: “I don’t mind, I’ll just take care of you in the future, I’ll take care of you strong strong, and then…”

Xiao Yu: “Then what?” His deep eyes tightly locked every expression on Lin Yiyi’s face, and there was a smile in his eyes, which was extremely gentle.

Lin Yiyi stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, pulled him down, put her mouth in his ear and said softly, “Then I will eat you when I grow up.”

After speaking, she pushed him away and ran away blushing. Damn, this is the first time she has done such a thing, probably because she has read too many novels.

Jin Yu looked at her, thinking about the meaning of her words, his eyes gradually sank.

Lin Yiyi ran out of the room, went back to the kitchen, and hummed a song happily. In fact, it is not only about how much money you make, but also about one’s ability. Above money, that is power. Why are rich people? To cling to officials, because power is more important than money, and it can better reflect ability.

Like Jin Yu, in this era, a salary of 80 yuan a month is already a lot of money. In addition, he is also the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, so he has power and money.

“Wow, sister, what is this?” Lin Sijun brought Lin Fifth Brother in, stood at the dining table, and stared at the roast duck.

Lin Yiyi: “This is roast duck.”

Jin Yu walked in: “Roast duck?” Jin Yu had eaten roast duck, when he was in the military academy, it was brought by his classmates, it was delicious, but expensive, “I used to eat it when I was in the military academy, and it tasted very good. “

Lin Yiyi: “I bought it specially for you today, Deputy Director Xiao. It’s been a hard half month, and I’ll make up for it. But compared to the taste of our local roast duck, I don’t know which one is delicious.”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, “Thank you.” He was in such a good mood that he couldn’t hide his smile, “This one is delicious too.”

In the evening, Lin Sijun was in the best mood. It was the first time he ate roast duck, and it was inconvenient to hold it with chopsticks, so he took it with his hands. As a result, he licked all five fingers. Lin Yiyi looked at him, as if she saw children from relatives during the Chinese New Year and festivals. Some of them were young, and they were eating roast duck, and they would lick their fingers after eating. But in her era, children licked their fingers because they were young and ignorant. However, in this era, children licked their fingers because they were poor and had never eaten delicious food, so even a little taste on their fingers reluctant.

Lin Yiyi suddenly felt a little sad, and gave Lin Sijun another piece of roast duck: “Don’t lick your fingers, your fingers are dirty.”

Lin Sijun: “Hey.”

Due to his occupation, Xiao Yu is very good at observing people’s emotions, and he is also very sensitive to people’s emotions. Looking at Lin Yiyi’s sadness in an instant, he has an idea in his heart. But didn’t say it. Jin Yu: “Is this tomato picked outside?” He changed the subject, it’s December 1st now, and the tomatoes and cauliflower will be ripe in mid-November.

Lin Yiyi said, “I bought it. Our tomatoes and cauliflower are not ready yet.”

Jin Yu thought about it for a while: “Because there is no fertilization, it matures late.” But this kind of yard vegetables cannot be fertilized, otherwise the taste will affect the people next door, and everyone will protest.

After dinner, Xiao Yu went to see two small vegetable sheds, and Lin Yiyi took Lin Sijun and Lin Wujun for a walk in front of the door before walking out. Grandma Wang came and followed their pace. Grandma Wang has been walking with Lin Yiyi for a while. She likes to find Lin Yiyi very much, because she likes to gossip, and Lin Yiyi will listen to her patiently. gossip.

In a blink of an eye, on December 9th, Saturday, it was the day when Lin Sijun and Lin Sanjun changed. After this week, Lin Wudi slept with Lin Sijun and fell in love. He was not like other children who would pester his sister to sleep. He still liked to sleep with Lin Sijun. After all, before Lin Yiyi came, it was Lin Sijun. The Fourth Army took him, and Lin Sijun would take him to play with other children in the worker’s hospital, so he liked Lin Sijun very much, and now he was going to be replaced by Lin Sanjun, and he didn’t know if he was suitable.

After this week, Lin Yiyi stopped going to Brother Wang’s to buy groceries. She buys groceries in the system mall every day. Of course, it’s not extravagant, it’s better than before. A meal used to be two dishes, but now it is three dishes. However, basically all three are vegetables, and she only buys meat once a week, otherwise there will be meat for every meal, and Jin Yu should think that the family’s savings are exhausted. But even if it was two vegetables, she didn’t make them herself, she bought them from the system mall. When Jin Yu came back from get off work, she had already bought it, and she would never know that it wasn’t her. And the dishes she buys are relatively simple, and it’s not difficult to cook, otherwise what if it’s her turn to wear them when it’s time for her to cook? Lin Yiyi has considered many aspects.

Lin Yiyi was in the vegetable shed: “Fourth Army, get a basket for my sister, the tomatoes are ripe.”

Lin Sijun: “Come on.” He and Lin Wujun were playing balls. The **** were cloth **** made by an old tailor made by Lin Yiyi. The insides were all the scraps from the ragged clothes that could not be worn. The cloth of the cloth is also cut from the ragged clothes, and the cloth that does not look good is sewn and repaired. Lin Yiyi dare not use good cloth to do this, it is too gossip. Because of this cloth ball, Lin Sijun, Lin Wujun and the children in the worker’s college played better, and the children often came to him to play cloth ball. A few children surround the city in a circle, and then pass it on one by one. They will not get tired of playing this kind of game for a few days.

However, for TOEFL, Lin Yiyi received thanks from the parents of the children, and became acquainted with several parents.

Lin Sijun handed the basket to Lin Yiyi: “Sister, are the tomatoes red?” As he spoke, he licked his mouth.

Lin Yiyi: “It’s red, I’ll give it to you later.”

A total of 9 tomato plants were planted. Because there was no fertilization, the planting was not very good. A few plants grew seven or eight, and a little more grew thirteen or four. In fact, in modern times, one tomato can produce about 50 tomato fruits. Even in the countryside of this era, good tomatoes can grow twenty or thirty fruits, so these few tomatoes in their family are really average, but they are average and valuable.

The vegetable shed is closed on three sides, and only one side faces the house, so Lin Yiyi bought 5 catties of tomatoes from the system mall by picking tomatoes, about 15 of them, plus the 5 picked here, there are 20.

After coming out, she chose two for Lin Sijun, one large and one small, and said, “Go wash and eat, the small is for your brother, and you need to wash it clean.”

Lin Sijun: “Hey.”

Lin Yiyi went to look at the cauliflower again, and found that the cauliflower was fine. She picked a cauliflower, and the cauliflower was not big, only about a pound and a half.

Lin Yiyi put the cauliflower on the kitchen table, took out a few more tomatoes, and went out with a basket. She sent tomatoes to Grandma Wang’s house, as well as a few friends who played with Lin Sijun and Lin Wudi. Four families, each sent three tomatoes. The farthest household sent it back, and heard the lively voices at home. When he heard this voice, it was Lin Dajun.
