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

After sending off the leader of the commune, Jin-Woo came back: “Go in and have a rest?”

Lin Yiyi said: “Aren’t you curious why I changed the position of the salesperson of the supply and marketing agency to the commune guard?”

Jin Yu raised his eyebrows, he didn’t expect Lin Yiyi to say this at this time, this is her position, no matter what arrangements she has, he will not interfere. As a big man, he never thought of possessing his daughter-in-law’s things. In his opinion, her daughter-in-law’s is her daughter-in-law’s, and his daughter-in-law’s.

At the same time, everyone looked at Lin Yiyi and waited for her answer.

The people present were all relatives of the Xiao family, as well as relatives of the Qin family. Although there were also a few people in the brigade, it was not in the way.

Lin Yiyi just wanted to put this on the table and said: “My parents are getting old, and it is very hard to go to work again. I think it is better to find a suitable job for him, so that he has commercial food and does not need to go to work. “Xiao Daqiang is only 42 years old this year, and she is not old at all, but she just said it beautifully.

Everyone heard it, and it really felt like this.

A gleam flashed in Qi Spinach’s eyes, if so, their Xiao Wu is the eldest son, should this work father-in-law give to their family Xiao Wu?

However, before everyone could say anything, Lin Yiyi said again: “Of course, giving the job to Dad is temporary. When the army grows up, the job will still be given to the army.”

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Lin Yiyi continued, with sadness in her tone: “Everyone knows, my parents have passed away, I am 15 years old this year, and I have four younger brothers, the oldest brother is only 13 years old, and the youngest is only 2 years old. In the past few years, the eldest brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother will all grow up one after another. When the boy grows up, he wants to say kiss and marry. Naturally, they don’t have to worry about it. The parents will prepare the house for marriage and the money to marry the daughter-in-law, and the parents will also prepare it, but my mother’s family is not good, no one will prepare these for them. And they have just grown up, and they have no money to come. Get married, come and prepare for these. I think that any family who loves their daughter will not want their daughter to marry a family who has nothing. “

Of course, there are people who love their daughters, and they think Lin Yiyi’s words are reasonable. Moreover, even if it is a family that doesn’t love their daughter, and the daughter is married, they still want a betrothal gift.

Lin Yiyi: “So, when they grow up, ask for a daughter-in-law and build a house, do these things have to be done by my sister? However, I am a daughter-in-law, and it is impossible to subsidize my parents’ family like this all the time. When the younger brother gets married, the house is worth 600 yuan. When the four younger brothers get married, the dowry cost is 10 yuan per person. When the four younger brothers get married, the furniture in the house is all money. Young man, are these all given to my out-married sister? If so, who would like to?”

The four children are all ready to get married, and it will cost more than a thousand. When the mother-in-law hears Lin Yiyi’s words, her face turns dark. Even if there is another in-law’s family with three views, no matter how easy it is to get along with, the daughter-in-law will occasionally help her mother’s family and treat it as a relationship. They won’t mind, but it is a bit too much to spend a thousand yuan to help.

Lin Yiyi: “So, my idea is that this job is for the father first, and after six years, when Dajun graduates, the job will be handed over to Dajun, and the money that Dajun makes will be the money of the Lin family. My younger brothers get married and start a house, all of which are included in the salary of Dajun, which is what I can do for my parents’ family. Of course, I can do this job myself first, and then I will give it to Dajun in the future, and I will do everything. Don’t worry anymore. But, in this age… I want my father and father to take this job, so that the monthly commodity food can be eaten by the grandparents and parents, and the monthly salary can also be used for the elderly. , it can be regarded as the filial piety of our second room.” Needless to say, in six years, the salary alone has exceeded 1,000. Who will give so much money to the old father’s old age? Whose daughter-in-law would be so generous? The daughter-in-law gives her work to her parents’ family, which is the case in many families. The daughter-in-law who doesn’t have it must give her work to her husband’s family, and the husband’s family has no such face.

Everyone knows these principles.

But well… I still have to hand over the work after I get it, and it makes me a little sad to think about it.

Xiao Yu: “If Dad has no problem with this job, he can come like this.” Xiao Yu’s words mean that he is on Lin Yiyi’s side. Sometimes, no matter how much Lin Yiyi said, it was not as important as the support of men.

Lin Yiyi doesn’t care what other people think. She has four younger brothers now. If she doesn’t give her work to her younger brother, she will take care of the four younger brothers in the future. She will ask the mother-in-law if she will agree to her daughter-in-law. Support your mother’s family.

Besides, six or seven years later, Xiao Daqiang is also getting older, almost 50 years old. The salary in the past few years is enough for them to live a good life. After all, the money belongs to them. They are people who have separated. There is no need to give other rooms, and the pension for their second room will continue. Finally, if this job is given to Xiao Daqiang, who will he give it in the future? You don’t have to think about it to know that it is the big house. After all, the big house has the eldest son and eldest grandson, but this is her job. Why should it be given to the Xiao family’s big house instead of the Lin family’s younger brother?

As for whether the Xiao family will use the money to subsidize the big house and the third house, she is not worried, because she has already said it clearly, this job is the filial piety of the second house, and their filial piety every month for the past six years To be honest, if there is a dispute in the future, these people are the witnesses.

So, no matter what everyone is thinking, this matter is settled like this. Xiao Daqiang took the job first, and then returned it to Lin Yiyi six years later.

All in all, everyone is still very envious of the Xiao family. Isn’t this a free job? Whose daughter-in-law doesn’t leave her job to her parents?

The Xiao family didn’t say anything. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they enlarged it and said that this job belongs to Xiao Daqiang for the past six years, and they are also happy. After all, the money they can earn in six years is more than a thousand.

After lunch at Xiao’s house, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu went back.

The work was carried out quickly, and the commune guard and the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative knew how to change it. But of course it’s not the exchange of two positions, so Lin Yiyi suffers. Therefore, people used 200 yuan and a guard position to change the position of a salesman in a supply and marketing agency. Of course, Lin Yiyi took the 200 yuan.

In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve. The first day of the first month of 61 is February 15 of the solar calendar. Chinese people attach great importance to the Spring Festival. No matter where you live, you must go home to accompany your family to celebrate the New Year.

So on February 13th, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu went back to the countryside, and Lin Dajun and the others followed, but they went to Lin’s house, and they no longer had a room at Grandma Ge’s house, because their Grandma Ge used the room to grow vegetables in the stove.

In ancient times, the brothers of the Lin family would have returned their clothes. Because the New Year is coming, they are reluctant to wear new clothes, so they are wearing the old shabby padded jackets. Although the padded jackets are no longer warm, they don’t care. They carried a basket on their backs, and in the basket were the New Year’s goods prepared for them by their elder sister. The elder sister said that the second day of the first lunar month was the day when the married daughter returned to her parents’ home, and they had to wait for her elder sister to come back at home.

The three brothers led Fifth Brother Lin into the village with bright smiles. Although they lived in Mrs. Ge’s house, they lived well, but after all, it was not their own home.

Another thing is that Lin Dajun is the happiest. After he graduates, he will be able to work as a worker. Although the money earned has to support the younger brothers and build houses for them to ask for wives, they are workers.

The people in the Shanglin Brigade have been getting better recently. Everyone has grown vegetables in the kitchen, and the most mature chicken feather vegetables are grown. Because there are so many people growing chicken feather vegetables, there is no place to exchange food, but it is still enough to fill the stomach. Okay, so much better than whole grains. Moreover, even if it is less than a month, there are ten or twenty pounds. Of course, this is not the case for every household, because this requires a room. Although some people don’t have enough rooms, they will come together, and then everyone will crowd together, because compared with sleeping, eating a full stomach and staying alive is the most important thing.

“Your brother, Dajun, is back?”

“Fourth Army, how did you all live in the county seat?”

“Dajun, do you eat meat every day in the county seat?”

“Sanjun, your sister is promising, and you have also lived in the county seat.”

“Dajun, I heard that your sister will give you the job of a worker in the future?”

“Dajun, did your sister tell you about your daughter-in-law?”

Focusing on the fact that Lin Dajun can become a worker in the future, at the age of 14, he has become a popular son-in-law in everyone’s eyes.

Lin Dajun and the others didn’t say anything, but when their sister said it, they all understood that the money was not revealed. The brothers started cleaning when they got home. At this time, several villagers came and brought them some vegetables as a thank you for growing vegetables in the kitchen pit.

Xiao family

The Xiao family was thinking about when Xiao Yu and Lin Yiyi would come back, but they waited until today. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Day. The time is about the same. After all, Xiao Yu has to go to work.

“Grandma, mother.” Lin Yiyi got off the bicycle. Yes, a bicycle. She bought a women’s bicycle in the system mall. It was Phoenix brand and cost 350 yuan. When he first appeared at home, Xiao Yu didn’t ask much. Anyway, in Xiao Yu’s opinion, he naturally thought that Lin Yiyi bought it from Brother Wang, or through the relationship of Brother Wang.

Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju were stunned when they saw Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu riding their bicycles. After a while, Qin Xiangju got her voice back: “This one also bought a bicycle?”

Lin Yiyi said, “This is a women’s bicycle, do you want to try it?”

Qin Xiangju: “Is there a women’s bike?”

Lin Yiyi said: “Of course, lesbian-style bicycles are different from gay-style bicycles. Look at the front…” Lin Yiyi introduced the differences, “No, the county town used to grow vegetables because of the stove pit. I was rewarded with 200 yuan for this matter, so I bought this bike, so that if there is an urgent matter in the future, it is convenient for me to go back to the countryside, so I don’t have to work so hard with Brother Yu, and I will come back after get off work.”

What can Qin Xiangju say?

Lin Yiyi: “Brother Yu, take off the basket on your bicycle.”

Jin-Woo: “Yeah.”

Qin Xiangju: “What did you bring back?”

Lin Yiyi said: “Meat, oil, soap, and bean sprouts. I thought that the house I brought last time may have run out.” And although Xiao Daqiang is now a worker, the worker only has commodity grain, no oil or soap. Kind of, this can only be obtained with the urban resident’s household registration book.

Qi Spinach sat at the door, his eyes kept drifting to this side.

Qin Xiangju directly moved the basket to her room, and Lin Yiyi and Grandma Xiao also passed by.

Qin Xiangju took out some things, and saw that there were milk powder, fruits, noodles and the like in it: “You kid, you always spend money randomly.” But her face was full of smiles.

Lin Yiyi said: “It didn’t cost anything. Fruits and noodles are the welfare of the public security bureau. This milk powder is the best for the elderly to nourish the body. These two pairs of small cotton shoes are for Xiao Rui and Xiao Rui. Pearl’s.” She didn’t usually buy anything for them, but she couldn’t save it during the Chinese New Year, after all Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu are the children of the Xiao family. Saying that, she took out two more boxes of vanishing cream from the liberation bag, “Grandma, mother, I think the box you used before has been used up, this is a new one for you.” She bought food, maybe Grandma Xiao And Qin Xiangju will call other people, but vanishing cream is something for women, grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju will never save it for their daughter-in-law. In fact, Lin Yiyi is very vengeful, but if people treat her a little bit, she will be easily moved. Take the fritters and cloth shoes of the Lin family’s younger brothers. She was really surprised that day.

Sure enough, Qin Xiangju was even happier when she heard that there were Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu.

The meat that Lin Yiyi brought was only one kilogram. In addition to pork, there were two kilograms of spare ribs. Oil and soap were the welfare of the residents. The vegetables were the bean sprouts made by themselves. She kept the vegetables for the New Year, so she didn’t bring them. Speaking of this matter, Brother Wang finally knows why Lin Yiyi has chicken feathers. The way Wang sees Lin Yiyi has completely changed. He used to think she was a well-behaved little girl, similar to his own daughter, but the kitchen pit When the vegetable planting incident came out, Brother Wang felt that this girl was really smart, but he didn’t dare to underestimate Lin Yiyi at all. So, among the things she brought this time, she bought one kilogram of meat and two kilograms of spare ribs at the system mall. The rest were New Year goods from the residents’ welfare and public security bureaus, and even the milk powder was sent from Inner Mongolia. Every time she gives something, Lin Yiyi has a plan. She doesn’t give things that exceed the residents’ welfare often.

Lin Yiyi came out of Qin Xiangju’s room and returned to the door of her room. Mrs. Liang came: “Second sister-in-law.”

Lin Yiyi: “Hey, come and sit in the house, but it hasn’t been cleaned up yet, be careful of dust.”

Mrs Liang said, “I’ll tidy up with you.” After speaking, after entering the house, she took out a pair of gloves from her arms, “Second sister-in-law, I thought that when you held the pen holder, your hands would be cold, so I’ll make it for you. I have a pair of gloves, thank you for teaching us to grow vegetables, we are living a better life now, and we can eat more food than before, even when I go home, my family members look at me highly.”

Lin Yiyi looked at the finely embroidered gloves in her hand, and felt that there was cotton in the hand, and the cloth of the gloves was still new. It was obvious that Liang was careful. Besides, the gloves were really suitable for the person she wrote the manuscript. . In fact, she has gloves, which are still in the pocket of her padded jacket. On the way back, the cyclist was hot and took them off. But she still felt that Liang’s gloves were precious.

Lin Yiyi said, “Thank you, Sister Liang.” After speaking, she opened her liberation bag and took out a box of vanishing cream, “Here, I wanted to give it to you later, but now it’s a coincidence.” She did give it to Liang. Shi prepared this, and bought more for Grandma Xiao and Qin Xiangju. As for Qi spinach, that doesn’t exist.

Liang Shi was a little surprised: “This… this is too precious.”

Lin Yiyi raised the gloves: “For me, precious things are not as good as my heart, and your gloves are precious.”

Mrs. Liang: “Then I’m welcome, second sister-in-law, I’ll bring you water and wipe the place.”

Lin Yiyi: “Thank you.”

Then, the two cleaned the house together, and then Lin Yiyi took out the quilt. The quilt was still brought from the county seat. When they went to the county seat, they took the quilt away, but they never thought about buying a quilt, not to mention the quilt. Not good to buy. But this time I took it back and put it here.

Mrs. Liang: “Second sister-in-law, why didn’t you see Xiao Wu this time?”

Lin Yiyi: “He and Dajun have returned to Lin’s house. It’s not a good time to be here after the Chinese New Year.” Besides, in the past six months, she also believed that Fifth Brother Lin followed Lin Dajun and the others for a few days without incident. In the county seat, Lin Dajun brought his younger brothers to pick up firewood, and also brought his fifth younger brother, and he has been doing well.

The Xiao family ate drier than usual rice in the evening. They also stewed the ribs and potatoes brought by Lin Yiyi. They also made scrambled eggs with chives and fried green vegetables, six or three dishes.

The next day was New Year’s Eve, and Dafang and Sanfang also ate with them. In the morning, Grandma Xiao brought her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law to make dumplings together. They planned to eat dumplings at noon and dinner at night. Lin Yiyi couldn’t make dumplings, so she told Grandma Xiao to take a leave of absence and said to go to Lin’s house to see the situation.

Grandma Xiao asked her to go later, and when they made dumplings, they took a little over. Lin Yiyi didn’t ask for it. She flew away on a bicycle, only bringing a basket with some chicken feathers. In fact, the basket was just a cover. On the road with no one, she bought dumplings and meat from the system mall. The dumplings were sent to the younger brothers, and the meat was given to others for relationship.

Lin Yiyi rode a bicycle into the Shanglin Production Brigade and saw many people basking in the sun at the gate of the village. Since the chicken feather vegetables, the villagers are in the mood to bask in the sun. Seeing Lin Yiyi coming, everyone didn’t dare to admit it at first, for fear of admitting the wrong person. After all, the skinny little girl in their impression was nothing like the current girl riding a bicycle, wearing dark gray corduroy pants, a black padded jacket, and a red scarf.

Lin Dajun: “Sister…”

At the gate of the village, Lin Dajun, who was playing with his friends, recognized that it was his sister, so he shouted. At this time, everyone came back to their senses, is this Lin Yiyi?

Lin Yiyi stopped the bicycle: “Are you playing here?”

Lin Dajun: “Well, sister, why are you here?”

Lin Yiyi: “Come and see you.”

“One by one, if the army hadn’t called you, I wouldn’t have recognized you.” It was the captain’s daughter-in-law who spoke.

Lin Yiyi said, “Hello auntie, I was going to my auntie’s house to find my auntie, but I didn’t expect to meet her here.”

The captain’s daughter-in-law: “One by one, you are now the big benefactor of our county. The kitchen pit you came up with to grow vegetables is really good. Now every family will not be hungry, and the chicken feather vegetables are still mature. Hurry up, throw away some seeds after eating, it’s convenient.”

Lin Yiyi said: “If the stove is large, my aunt can separate half of the other types, such as radishes, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. After all, the other half of the chicken feathers can be eaten at any time, so the other vegetables can also be affordable. Time. By the way, the soil should also be changed frequently. It is best to plant a wave after another, and then pick up some decomposed leaves and wheat grass to use as fertilizer. It is written in the book that these are good fertilizers and can improve Soil. But I don’t know about the soil, but my aunt can ask the old hands here.”

The captain’s daughter-in-law said: “It’s really thoughtful to think about each one.” There are also nutrients in the ground. The veterans in the field know more or less, but sometimes they may not pay attention to so much. Now that Lin Yiyi mentions it, many people think of it. Indeed it is. So, the people who were still sitting in the sun immediately got out of the way and went up the mountain to look for rotting leaves and wheatgrass.

The captain’s wife and Lin Yiyi went to Lin’s house together, Lin Yiyi took out half a catty of meat from the basket: “Aunt, don’t be polite to me, you may not be able to buy meat now, you can take this meat and have a good year. “

The captain’s daughter-in-law: “No, no, I can’t take your things for nothing, and this meat is expensive.”

Lin Yiyi: “I don’t give it for nothing. At the beginning of the year, the field will be a little busy, and we don’t have a stove in our house, so when the time comes, auntie, you will send some dishes to Dajun and the others, and I will use meat for the vegetables, do you think? “

The captain’s wife said: “Then I’m welcome.” They have grown two pits of vegetables, enough to eat, “but we have to agree, I have to send 10 catties of vegetables to the army to get half a catty of meat. “Half a catty of meat and ten catties of vegetables were given more by the captain’s wife, and according to Brother Wang’s calculation, half a catty of meat is worth two catties of vegetables.

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, “That’s it. By the way, Auntie, is the primary school in our village still open?”

The captain’s daughter-in-law said, “Oh, you’re really right, because of this year, there have been several years of famine and famine, and the primary school has been shut down. Everyone has nothing to eat, so why do you still have the strength to go to school? Do you think ? But it will open in early September of this year, and it has something to do with you.”

Lin Yiyi was curious: “Me? How is it related to me?”
