Chapter 68
Lin Dajun followed him on a business trip the next day. Together with Director Yang, Dr. Lin, and the accountant of the commune, all four were men, and it was convenient for two people to stay in one room. Lin Dajun was a little nervous. He hid the twenty dollars from his sister in his pocket. He was very careful, for fear that the money would be stolen.
They went by train. This was the first time for Lin Dajun to take a train. Seeing such a long train, his vision seemed to open the door. Especially when he was waiting for the train to start, the scenery next to him flashed quickly in front of him, and Lin Dajun’s heart was also beating fast.
As the saying goes, to make a person grow, the fastest way is to let him experience, this sentence actually has a certain truth.
Lin Dajun followed Director Yang and Dr. Lin to the provincial capital where the pig farm was located. Although he was still cowardly, he did not dare to speak, but he met more people, and his mood and vision were changing. With more knowledge, he will find that the commune president and director Yang are nothing. He listened to Director Yang and everyone talking eloquently, listening to Dr. Lin and everyone talking about the knowledge of raising pigs, he didn’t speak, just listened quietly. His sister said that if you encounter something you don’t understand, don’t ask on the spot, you can ask after the fact, so that you can hide your ignorance. So he clenched his fists with both hands and kept calm without asking. Although he was nervous, in the eyes of others, he performed very well.
The pig farm director and Yang are both old acquaintances. The piglets of the Sunshine Commune have always been approved here. The price of a piglet is 20 yuan, which is very expensive. Although the villagers pay a deposit after receiving the task pig Yes, but Director Yang still loves the piggy’s money.
The director of the pig farm: “Old Yang, you have approved so many piglets. Are you planning to open a pig farm?”
Director Yang said: “No, it is really inconvenient for us to come here. Not to mention the long distance, every time we charter a car to go back, the toll is also expensive.”
The director of the pig farm said: “Where is this pig farm so easy to open? A careless… You know, you are so dangerous.”
Director Yang: “Everything is difficult at the beginning, but only by trying will you have a chance to succeed, so let’s try first. What’s more, we have made a lot of preparations this time. You see, this is Dr. Lin from our pig farm. He has been studying the raising of piglets, this is the little instructor of our pig farm, you may not know that he is the one who raises pigs for half a year, and each piglet weighs 200 kilograms.”
Hearing Director Yang mentioning himself, Lin Dajun’s face tightened, he didn’t dare to open his lips, and stood with his back straight. When he found out that the director of the pig farm was looking at him, several drops of sweat flowed from his forehead. what to do? Legs are a little soft.
However, he remembered what Lin Sanjun said last night. If he was nervous, he would think of his brother-in-law. Lin Dajun tried hard to recall Jin Yu’s appearance, and when he looked at the director of the pig farm again, it seemed that the other party was not so scary anymore. He is not as tall and dignified as his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law still has a gun, but he has seen a gun before, and the other party doesn’t have a gun.
Gradually, Lin Dajun’s breathing calmed down. He looked at the pig farm director, thinking about Jin-woo, and told himself that he couldn’t let the big sister down.
The director of the pig farm sneered: “Just this hairy boy, he still raises pigs? Lao Yang, are you kidding me?”
Director Yang said, “Do you know who his sister is?”
The director of the pig farm raised his eyebrows: “Is there anything else that can’t be done?”
Director Yang said: “In the end of the 1960s, he was recommended by his elder sister Comrade Lin Yiyi to grow vegetables on the stove. , how could there be no ability?”
The whole country knows the reports of growing vegetables on the stove. Although it is not an exaggeration to say that timely rain is so exaggerated, it did help a lot at that time. Although for Lin Yiyi, the biggest reward is only the reward from the county government, because this is not a The technical achievement, however, was nationally reported on her.
Hearing Director Yang mentioning his sister, Lin Dajun’s body became more straight. His sister is a hero who grows vegetables on the stove, how could he let her down? How can I lose face of my sister outside?
see? These people think that their sister is very powerful. When they mention her, they all look at themselves differently, so in fact, these people are nothing special. His brother-in-law is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, his sister is a hero who grows vegetables on the stove, and he is not a villager.
Yes, Lin Dajun’s cowardice, on the other hand, is because of his own background. He comes from a rural area and has no parents, so when facing an official, he does not dare to make a sound, which is a kind of inferiority. But now, he seems to have found a door, a door that dares to face the outside, his parents can’t show off, he can show off his sister, he is a hero’s brother.
Lin Dajun thought about his sister, his temperament gradually changed, and he became more confident. Although this confidence came from others, it just gave him courage.
The director of the pig farm was also a little surprised. Of course he knew about growing vegetables on the stove, so his eyes changed a bit when he looked at Lin Dajun: “It seems that this little brother is really sure about raising pigs?”
Director Yang said: “Dajun, tell this director about the problems here, not to mention our pig raising technology. This is technically confidential. You only need to talk about the shortcomings here.”
Lin Dajun: “…”
The director of the pig farm laughed: “Old Yang, are you still worried that I am greedy for your pig raising skills? Okay, this little brother will talk about the basic shortcomings.”
Lin Dajun swallowed subconsciously, feeling a little nervous. Everyone looked at him, and at that moment, he wanted to go back again. But he couldn’t. If he cowardly went back this time, he had a hunch that his sister would definitely not believe him again.
Lin Dajun stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. In summer, his lips were very dry. Because of his nervousness, he felt that his mouth was also very dry. Lin Dajun swallowed again, then slowly opened his mouth and said the first sentence: “Here… it’s a bit dirty and the hygiene is not good.”
With the beginning, the next words seem to be easy to say, Lin Dajun continued: “My sister said, piglets are like people, people like clean places, live in a clean environment, physical and mental health, and a happy mood can be happy and happy. They grow up, but so are piglets. Although we can’t communicate with them, it doesn’t mean they don’t have ideas. They also have ideas, but we don’t understand them. They also like a clean environment.”
Everyone: “…”
Pig farm director: “I heard this for the first time.”
Hearing that the other party doubted himself, Lin Dajun said eagerly: “It’s true, I have raised two piglets. My piglets have grown to 200 kilograms in half a year. People in our commune know it. If you don’t believe me, ask Lin. Doctor, you ask Director Yang, they have all eaten pork from our family.”
Dr. Lin said: “I watch the piglets of the Dajun family every few days. The piglets where they raise piglets are indeed very clean.”
Lin Dajun: “Of course, my brothers and I are cleaning every day. My sister said that the hygiene must be cleaned, otherwise, when I graduate from school, I won’t buy a bicycle for me.”
When everyone heard it, they burst into laughter, this is still a child.
The pig farm director disagreed. Although they said that their pig farm was not dirty, it was impossible to clean it every day.
Shanglin Production Brigade
The first house of the Lin family was finally built. The splendid blue-brick house has a tiled roof and whitewashed walls. Entering the courtyard, there are toilets, utility rooms, pig and chicken coops on one side, close to the yard wall, and a small field on the other side, where you can grow some things. The front of the courtyard door faces the door of the hall of the house. The door is made of wooden boards. It is two wooden doors. Usually one can be opened, but on important days, both doors can be opened.
“Ah, this house is very stylish, not to mention our village, but there is no such style house in our entire brigade.”
“No, although the house is not big, it’s a really nice apartment. If anything happens, just go out and shout.”
“Isn’t it? There’s a thief here. As long as you enter the hall, everyone can hear the sound. It’s not like our house, where no one knows when you’re dead.”
“The house is still whitewashed, it will cost a lot of money, right?”
“What money does it cost? The commune brought in the bricks without spending any money. This is the reward given by the commune to the Lin family for handing over their pig raising skills.”
“Blue bricks don’t need money, do these tiles need money? Everyone’s wages need money, right?”
“Don’t shout, we are here to see the house, look inside this house, there are five rooms in this apartment type, this is the kitchen, this is the bathroom, and there are three rooms, one for the couple, and two for Look at this window again, boy, this house is so bright.”
“It’s still a blessing for the captain’s family, and such a good marriage is given.”
“The three armies have not yet been decided. The army has a house, and the houses of the three armies and the fourth armies will also be built. Those who have daughters should go to see each other quickly, and don’t care about their face.”
“You can see each other if you have a daughter? Do you like everyone in the Lin family?” Everyone is not without self-knowledge. Don’t you know if your daughter can take a shot?
Lin Yiyi naturally didn’t know that these people were interested in the marriage of the Third Army and the Fourth Army, but even if she knew, she wouldn’t think too much. People are realistic, who wouldn’t want to find someone with good conditions? I think when her mother asked her to have a blind date, she also chose from three to four. The other party’s family conditions were not as good as hers. She didn’t want it. The other party’s work income was not as good as hers. A man who is no worse than her in every aspect. So now in this era, these women see that the conditions of the Lin family are getting better, and she can understand that they want to kiss her younger brothers.
But understanding is one thing, accepting or not accepting is another. Just like Dajun and Lin Zhen were talking about, she had a good impression of Lin Zhen, and she was very satisfied with Lin Zhen’s family conditions, so she directly asked Dajun what he meant. If she wasn’t satisfied with Lin Zhen’s family conditions, she wouldn’t ask Dajun what he meant and refused directly.
Of course, Dajun can fall in love freely, but whether she can accept this girl is another matter. She will not stop Dajun from talking to her because she doesn’t like this girl, but she will make it clear to Dajun about one thing. Like this girl, they can talk to each other and even get married, but she won’t care about their future affairs.
Lin Yiyi stood outside and looked at the house. She liked this kind of house very much. The whole family was inside, it was very warm, and it was better than the houses of this era.
The captain’s daughter-in-law: “This house is finally ready, it’s really beautiful.”
Lin Yiyi quipped: “In the future, when your family has a happy event, you can also build a house like this.”
The captain’s wife said: “It’s far away.” Such a house costs money, and blue bricks are not so easy to get, their family can’t afford it, “By the way, after these three houses are built, what are you going to do? Let their brothers live together, or?”
Lin Yiyi: “Let them split up.”
The captain’s daughter-in-law was taken aback: “You are… Are you going to split up the family?”
Lin Yiyi said: “Yes, anyway, there is nothing in the family. Everyone knows that my parents died. They starved to death, so they have no assets in the family, and naturally they have nothing to share with them. As the eldest sister, When they get married, it’s a matter of benevolence and righteousness to give them a new house. After that, their lives will also require their own efforts.
But when they get married, I’ll have the dowry ready, the last thing I can give them. After the family split, they raised pigs and chickens separately, and they could still live a small life. But they still eat together and take care of each other. “
The captain’s wife is still a little unbelievable, just split up like this? But then I thought that the Lin family had no parents, and it was true that getting married meant that the family could be separated.
Lin Yiyi added: “It’s better to split up the family, otherwise a family can only raise one pig, two chickens, and the eggs are not enough for their brothers. Now that the family is split up, they each raise two chickens, which is enough for them After eating, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange money for more eggs.”
The commander-in-law’s daughter-in-law nodded in agreement when she heard what she said. It’s just… If she was to be separated like this, she felt uneasy again, and felt that some things were not in her hands, and she was always a little worried. There is a saying that a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for ten years. She also came from her daughter-in-law. If her son gets married, she will split up the family. She is definitely not willing.
Lin Dajun’s house is ready, but there will be no wedding wine, only after he has three houses.
“One by one…” Qin Xiangju heard that Lin Dajun’s house was ready, so she came over to have a look, and when she saw her daughter-in-law outside, she cried.
Lin Yiyi: “Mother, why are you here?”
Qin Xiangju: “It’s not uncommon for Dajun’s new house, I’ll come and see.”
The captain’s daughter-in-law: “The eldest sister of the Xiao family is here.”
Qin Xiangju: “My in-laws are here too. Did you go in and see? This will be your son-in-law’s house from now on.”
The captain’s daughter-in-law said: “Look at it, I was there when the foundation was laid for this house. I didn’t see too many accidents at first, but after the house was built, it was really shocking. My head of the family said, The layout of the house is the same as the one in the county town, that is, it was expanded and built, and then combined with the small courtyards and toilets of the single family in the county town, it is better to design them one by one.”
Qin Xiangju said: “No, one is a smart one. She has been smart since she was a child. Every time I came back to see her when I was a child, she would recognize me. At that time, she could not walk.”
The captain’s daughter-in-law said: “That’s right, she was smart when she was young, but she was smarter when she grew up. At that time, she went to study, and the villagers said what kind of book the girl should read, but Dajun’s parents wanted her to study. Now It seems that Dajun’s parents still have foresight.”
Qin Xiangju: “Isn’t it…”
The two held each other’s hands and went in chatting and laughing.
Lin Yiyi: “…” One is her mother-in-law and the other is her brother’s mother-in-law. Is it really okay to brag about her **** in front of her?
Qin Xiangju looked around the house and was deeply moved. I think their three blue-brick houses are among the best in the team, but this type of apartment is really incomparable to the Lin family’s house. It would be great if their family could have such a type of apartment. This type of apartment is good, with many rooms. The family lived comfortably.
Qin Xiangju felt that it was a pity that if their family had married Lin Yiyi earlier, they would not have built such an ugly blue-brick house. Qin Xiangju sighed and walked out. She went to Lin Yiyi, but Lin Yiyi didn’t come in. She had already stopped looking at this house, and it was nothing new in her eyes.
Qin Xiangju: “One by one, this house is really beautiful.”
Lin Yiyi looked at her and smiled: “Mother, how about we build a house like this in the countryside?”
Qin Xiangju was stunned: “Do you want to build a house too?”
Lin Yiyi said: “I was thinking, Brother Yu and I are going to go back to the countryside. The fallen leaves will return to their roots. Even if we live less now, we will live there when we are older. Besides, when we have a future If you have a child, the current room is not enough.” Every time she comes during the day and returns to the county town at night, why? Not because the current room is uncomfortable. During the Chinese New Year, the family lives together, takes a bath, goes to the toilet, and they all have to wait in line, which is really unaccustomed. Moreover, she also saw that Qin Xiangju liked this house, “Besides, the commune is giving away blue bricks, so I will ask the president to prepare more blue bricks for the house, and then the money will be given to him.”
Qin Xiangju was a little moved when she heard this. She knew that the second room was rich, not to mention the salary of the second child, even the second daughter-in-law was rich herself. Now, because the old man has taken the job of the army, the second house does not have to pay food and pension for the past few years, but every month, the second house still gives Fuqiang powder and meat.
If it is said that Qin Xiangju can afford such a house by herself, she is reluctant. Anyway, she can live in the house at home, so there is no need to waste the money. The second daughter-in-law said that their family will have children in the future, so how can a room in the countryside be enough?
Of course, the eldest and the third are also in the same room. The children do not sleep together, but they do not have the conditions. The second-eldest family has the conditions to huddle together like this.
Qin Xiangju said: “That’s good. When the house is up, you can live more comfortably when you come back. Do you want to discuss this with the second child?” After discussing it with the second child, and I don’t know when it will start, they all listened to the second daughter-in-law.
Lin Yiyi said: “Other things must be discussed with Brother Yu. After all, he is the head of the family. But this matter is definitely not necessary. After all, building a house in your hometown is a facade, and it is also a return to the roots. Brother Yu will definitely agree.”
When Qin Xiangju heard her say this, she was even happier. She thought that her daughter-in-law still cared about her son: “Then I will go back and approve the foundation? Where do you want to be?”
Lin Yiyi: “Just a little bit closer to the old house now, a little bit closer to my parents, Brother Yu must be happy.” She also likes to be lively, and it’s good to be close to the Xiao family.
Qin Xiangju’s old face smiled even wider: “The second one is stupid and doesn’t know how to speak. Fortunately, you understand his mind.” Understand his mind that he wants to live closer to his parents. When people are older, they like to hear their sons miss them and care about them the most.
Lin Yiyi smiled.
The captain’s daughter-in-law was in the house and heard the conversation between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and sighed softly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were rivals in the previous life. Looking at Lin Yiyi and the eldest sister of the Xiao family, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked like mother and daughter. Yiyi can talk, so she can coax the eldest sister of the Xiao family into a happy mood with just a few words. She had to tell her daughter that when she married the Lin family in the future, she must not be small, otherwise she would offend the aunt, and it would be difficult for her to live. Even if her man is on her side, does this aunt still lack a younger brother? Besides, according to this aunt’s condition, the younger brothers took her share.
The second day after the house was built, Lin Dajun came back in a hurry. As soon as he entered the village, someone he knew told him that his house was ready, and Lin Dajun ran immediately. He didn’t run back to his hometown first. Instead, go to a new home.
“Yo, the army is back.”
“Look at how happy the army is, its mouth can’t close.”
“Dajun, your mouth is drooling.”
Lin Dajun didn’t care about them. He ran into the yard, looked left and right, and then ran into the house. The door of the new house was open, and it would take a few days to ventilate. He looked at every room, from the kitchen to the bedroom. , The corners didn’t fall, watching, he squatted down against the wall, then hugged his knees and cried.
Lin Dajun cried alone in the room for a long time, then wiped his eyes and went out with a grin. He picked up the luggage on the ground and ran back to his hometown.
I saw that the yard of my hometown was empty, and there was no one there.
“Sister, the third army, the fourth army, the fifth…”
The aunt next door said: “Yi Yi didn’t return home today, the three armies took the younger brothers to fish for big oysters.” At the end of July, the lobsters came out again to seek death. After 60 years of lobster fishing by the Lin family, everyone knows that this big ominous prawn is edible, and the meat is very fatty and delicious. So when the season comes, the people in the village can’t afford to go fishing.
Lin Dajun threw his luggage on the ground and ran to find them.
