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

Although the days in the Shanglin production brigade were good, the villagers would not come to the cowshed or bully them. Since the decentralization, they have not been criticized. I have to say that the days here are really good, except for a little hard work, their work points are a little less than others, and the tiring and dirty work is given to them, but this has what? This is much better than the days of being criticized before decentralization. Being criticized. Fighting is physical and mental torture, and punching and kicking are also commonplace.

But even so, they are still cautious, if anyone approaches, they will be cautious.

Li Shengzhong: "Who are you? What's the matter?" Compared with other people, Li Shengzhong, who was appointed by the old revolutionary, is naturally not afraid. He can be devolved, which shows that he has a high status before decentralization. People like him are Don't be afraid to face death.

Xiao Yu said: "Hello, my name is Qi Ying, I'm from the team next door, no, I came to the mountain to dig a few bamboo shoots after the Chinese New Year to improve the food at home. I was a little thirsty after walking for a long time, so I came here to ask for a cup. drink water."

Like a soldier, and surnamed Qi? A flash of clarity flashed in Li Shengzhong's eyes. This person should have been arranged by his friend Qi Youguo. He nodded: "Come in, and leave quickly after drinking the water, lest you be seen with us, we ordinary people can't come." This is for Xiao Yu, but also for Yang Chengguo and Zhang Hope that the couple listened to it, indicating that he and Xiao Yu did not know each other. After all, people are unpredictable, and he could not implicate Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu followed into the room.

Jin Yu stood in a relatively secret corner to hide, so that Yang Chengguo and his wife, who were also basking in the sun outside, could not see his figure inside the house.

Of course, Yang Chengguo and his wife basked in the sun at the door of their house, so they didn't deliberately walk to the door of Li Shengzhong's thatched hut, so they really couldn't see it from their sunbathing position.

Jin-Woo: "Please give me a bigger bowl."

Li Shengzhong: "Okay." Then pour the water.

As for Xiao Yu, when he was talking, he neatly opened the sack and took out two cans of milk powder and a cloth bag. Li Shengzhong's eyes flickered. I have to say, this is a wise and bold soldier. From the outside, he couldn't see the inside at all, and was blocked by the wall, so no one knew what he was doing. In the eyes of Yang Chengguo and his wife who heard the voice, he just came to ask for water.

Besides, Li Qiuhui was vigilantly blocking the door, pretending to watch, but actually blocking one or two.

Jin Yu's sack contains about half of the sack, and after he took out two cans of milk powder and a cloth bag, it can be said that the content in the sack was less than half. In fact, if you look at the sack, it is very obvious that there is something missing. However, most people will not go to watch Cai Sack for no reason, after all, Jin Yu is just here to ask for a glass of water. Furthermore, even if Yang Chengguo and his wife found out that the weight of the sack was a little different from before, they would not think much about it, and they might think that they had read it wrong just now.

Jin Yu put down his things and drank a bowl of water: "Thanks, I'm leaving." With that, he put the sack on his back, took the hoe, and strode away. After Jin Yu left, Li Shengzhong also came out of the house.

"Ah..." Li Shengzhong sighed.

Zhang Xi: "I don't know when the day will come."

Yang Chengguo said solemnly: "Shen Yan, we're pretty good. When we came, we thought we couldn't get through this day, but after we came, it was better than expected. As the old saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters make troublesome people, but now it seems that we can't. In this way, the people who are poor in mountains and rivers are still very kind." If it weren't for being pure and simple, how could their life be so good?

Li Shengzhong nodded: "What Lao Yang said makes sense." After saying this, he paused again, "It's fine in the afternoon anyway, we'll go dig bamboo shoots too, are you going?"

Yang Chengguo: "Digging bamboo shoots?"

Li Shengzhong: "Just now I saw that the young man's sack was quite heavy. There should be a lot of bamboo shoots. I also want to dig some, so we can keep it as food."

Yang Chengguo: "That's a good idea. Let's go for a walk. Let's dig bamboo shoots. Wife, you just stay here and watch the cattle."

Li Shengzhong: "Why don't you look at the cows with your sister-in-law, Lao Yang. You are not in good health and you are easily tired. Qiuhui and I will go dig bamboo shoots and come back to share some with you."

Yang Chengguo: "No, no, how can this work? I can't take advantage of you." University professors like Yang Chengguo don't like taking advantage of others.

Li Shengzhong said: "Old Yang, the four of us can count on each other for life, how can we say that we are taking advantage of each other? This is called mutual help.

Moreover, you are also working hard when you look at the cow, otherwise we need to watch this cow together. "

Li Qiuhui: "Grandpa Yang, what my grandfather said is right, you don't have to refuse. It's a big deal that you can teach me more in your spare time."

Yang Chengguo: "Then I'm welcome." He was already sick when he was sent down, and he really needed support. Moreover, I had to go to work every day, so my health was slow.

Li Shengzhong: "Okay, let's go."

Li Qiuhui followed his grandfather with a basket on his back. They had a sickle for mowing the cows, but they didn't use it in private.

The grandfather and grandson walked for a while to a relatively secret place, then put down the back basket and took out the milk powder cans and cloth bags inside. The cans of milk powder and cloth bags were placed in the back basket, covered with ragged clothes, so Yang Chengguo and his wife could not see them, and they were sitting and Li Qiuhui was standing, even if they were not covered with ragged clothes, they could not see them.

Li Qiuhui: "Grandpa, the person entrusted by Grandpa Qi is too caring." He will come every month, and it was secret before. So open that no one can see the problem.

Even, he didn't react at first. If the other party hadn't entered the room and took out the things, he wouldn't have known that this was the person entrusted by Grandpa Qi.

Li Shengzhong: "I heard Lao Qi say that this young man is an excellent soldier, and a person from the special forces is different from an ordinary soldier."

Li Qiuhui: "It's still Grandpa Qi's vision." If the other party was not trustworthy, Grandpa Qi would not entrust them to the other party, and from the perspective of the other party's behavior, I have to say that the other party is a good person.

Li Shengzhong smiled, probably seeing hope. The excellence of the young man was hope for a dying old man like him, right? However: "This matter has to be kept secret. If someone finds out one day, we won't be able to point out each other even if we kill them."

Li Qiuhui: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know." He can give up the good life but accompany his grandfather to go down, naturally he is hard-boned.

Li Shengzhong believed in this grandson, but just watching his grandson accompany him to endure hardships, his heart hurts, if at the beginning, grandson also learned that some people reported to the newspaper and separated from him, he would not have to follow him, but this kid has a stubborn temper. Say nothing. While Li Shengzhong felt distressed, he felt proud at the same time. This is his grandson.

Li Shengzhong: "Okay, let's see what's inside?"

Li Qiuhui: "Hey." He opened the lid of the milk powder can, "It's radish barbecue, it's delicious." Then he opened the cloth bag, "This is a steamed bun, or it's made with fine flour." Haven't seen it for a long time.

A smile appeared on Li Shengzhong's face: "It's really intentional, let's have a prosperous year too."

Li Qiuhui: "Grandpa, do you want to eat now?" They had lunch at noon, but their meals were always three points full, not even five points. They were getting hungry soon. Fortunately, the extra grandpa can supplement his body with dried meat and shrimp, and he is also drinking ginseng tea, otherwise he really doesn't know how grandpa's body can support it.

Li Shengzhong: "Let's eat, this meal will be considered dinner."

Li Qiuhui: "Actually, I can also eat dinner, and I can have 5 more steamed buns."

Li Shengzhong: "You kid think beauty."

Li Qiuhui laughed: "Well, people, always think of some good things in adversity."

Li Shengzhong: "It makes sense."

After the grandfather and grandson were full, it was already past three o'clock. To say that he is full is indeed full. The 20 steamed buns that Lin Yiyi brought, 10 of them are gone, and the canned radish barbecue has also been reduced by half. If it was normal, they would use at most two steamed buns to pad their stomachs, so why would they want to eat it like this, but today is New Year's Eve, the 30th anniversary of the new year, so they open their stomachs and eat like this.

When Jin Yu returned home, his wife and son were not seen at home, so he put down his sack and **** and went to look for it. As a result, he saw his daughter-in-law and son playing in the big playground in front of the village committee office. His daughter-in-law was sitting on the side, while his son and children were playing football. A small ball was chatting, looking very excited.

Seeing Jin Yu coming, many villagers greeted him warmly.

Xiao Zi also responded politely.

Lin Yiyi: "Okay?"

Jin Woo sat down beside her: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi: "To cook at home in the evening, ask Mother and Sanfang to come and eat." At noon, the old house has already cooked, and the big and Sanfang are eating. Since that incident, the big room and their second room have not eaten together. Of course, in the big picture, Lin Yiyi is passable, just like the big house gave birth to a child, she also gave milk powder and eggs.

Lin Yiyi got up: "Then I'm going to prepare, you look at him, don't let him get hot and undress, or he will catch a cold."

Jin-Woo: "Got it."

When Lin Yiyi left, someone familiar came to Xiao Yu's side and chatted with Xiao Yu. Although Xiao Yu didn't talk much, he was not an indifferent person. He just wouldn't take the initiative to chat with people, but now people come to chat. Now, of course he won't put on a cold attitude, so who's going to show it?

Not long after Lin Yiyi got home, she was washing vegetables when Qin Xiangju and Grandma Xiao came. Qin Xiangju: "One by one..."

Lin Yiyi: "Mother, I'm in there."

Qin Xiangju: "Aren't you going to cook tonight? I'll help."

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you mother, mother, please help me kill the fish, I can't kill the fish." The live fish is so good at jumping, she can't use the knife when killing.

Grandma Xiao: "When killing a fish, hit it with a kitchen knife on the head of the fish, and it will be killed."

Lin Yiyi: "I always feel a little scared. I feel that the stomach of the fish will bend with a knife." This is not Lin Yiyi's pretentiousness. People who have never killed a fish are always stubborn. When making tofu and fish soup before, it was still the fish that Lin Sijun killed. I have to say that even a young man is still a man, different from a young woman.

When Grandma Xiao heard this, she couldn't help laughing. This second daughter-in-law, sometimes she is charming.

Lin Yiyi: "Where are grandpa and dad? Why haven't we seen each other?"

Qin Xiangju: "I dug up bamboo shoots on the mountain, and then picked up firewood."

"Mother and grandma are also there..." Liang's voice sounded. I saw her carrying a child and carrying a child over.

Lin Yiyi was startled when she saw it: "Can you do this too?"

Mrs Liang was a little proud: "Second sister-in-law, what do you think? This back basket is specially made up. You see, the bottom of this basket is long, and the bottom of the general back basket is round, so when the child is put in it, he can only stand, not lie down. But my bottom is long so the child can lie down, which is specially made up by the child's father." This is even a twin. She carried one on her back and could go out for a walk.

Lin Yiyi: "...It's really good, let me see the child." Liang's idea actually conquered her.

Liang Shi: "I'm already asleep." She showed the child she was holding to Lin Yiyi, then took off the basket and put it in a cool place.

Lin Yiyi: "You can't put it like this, there is moisture on the ground."

Liang: "Just a while."

Lin Yiyi gave her the child: "I'll get a mat." She took out the mat and spread it on the ground, and then put a cotton quilt on it: "Okay, let the child stay here."

Both children fell asleep and slept soundly on the quilt. Lin Yiyi took another blanket to cover them with.

Chatting while basking in the sun is happiest in winter, especially when you can be a spectator.

Mrs. Liang: "By the way, second sister-in-law, do you want a tea pillow? My mother's family has a lot of tea leaves, so I made a tea pillow, which is very comfortable when sleeping." In the past, Liang's family had no sense of presence in her mother's house, but her mother's house was actually quite good. She Although it was replaced by her mother's family's food during the famine and famine, and she did not give her a dowry, at least her mother's family did not come to fight the autumn wind, nor did she exchange her for the old man. At the beginning, Mrs. Liang had opinions on her parents' family. As time went on, she thought about it and reconciled with her parents' family. In addition, Xiao Bin was considered a worker, so her parents' family was also polite to her.

Grandma Xiao: "The tea pillow is good. After I used it, I slept better at night."

Liang has a brain and is much smarter than Qi Spinach. Qi Spinach was reluctant to give good things to others, but Liang Shi was willing. She gave the tea pillows she brought from her family to each of the four elders.

Lin Yiyi: "No, no, those are all tea leaves picked by your mother's family. I can't ask for it."

Liang Shi: "Those are all unwanted tea leaves. It is too old to drink tea, so they are used to make pillows, and some people use them to make sachets and put them at home to taste. When I was in the second year of junior high, I went back to my mother's house to give to my second sister-in-law. Bring two over here, second sister-in-law, don't be polite to me, I will tell you if there are many in my parents' family, and if there are not many, I will not tell you."

Liang Shi said so, and Lin Yiyi did not continue to refuse. In fact, she wasn't really interested in tea pillows either. Maybe at the beginning, the taste of tea is very comfortable, but tea is also grass, and it is easy to get wet, that is to say, this tea pillow will not sleep for a long time unless it is processed by modern technology. However, this is a piece of Liang's mind.

After washing the dishes, start making dinner.

Lin Yiyi has been a "housewife" for six years, and now one person can support a table of dishes. Boil it, steam it, steam it, and at five o'clock, it's ready to eat.

The New Year's Eve dinner is of course a sumptuous one, including kelp and potato soup, scallion oil fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs with green onions, fried cabbage soup with fried dough sticks, shredded pork and shredded radishes, stewed eggs with minced meat, vegetables with garlic, and dried shrimps. Nine dishes, 8 adults per table, enough to eat. Men drink small wine, women drink wine. Although there are no electric lights, there are kerosene lamps and flashlights on, and the room is still bright enough. After eating, everyone started chatting, and Xiao Daqiang and Xiao Bin also punched. It is especially interesting when a man is punching, and Lin Yiyi wants to laugh when he hears it.

Xiao Shi and Xiao Jixiang listened and learned their boxing, but they couldn't, they only knew rock-paper-scissors, and the winner took a sip of wine, but when Xiao Shi lost, he was always rude. However, Xiao Jixiang has a good personality and depends on his younger brother for everything.

Lin Yiyi couldn't help but said, "Jiangxiang is really a good brother."

Xiao Jixiang blushed, he is a good brother.

Lin Yiyi didn't watch the night. When it was about time, he went to bed, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Bin were still on the night watch. After twelve o'clock, Xiao Yu sent Xiao Bin and the others away, and when he returned to the room, he saw his son and daughter-in-law fell asleep next to each other. He went to take a shower and quickly got into bed.

Little Eleven was sleeping in his **** arms. He felt someone beside him. He turned around and nestled into his dad's arms, because his dad's arms were bigger than his **** arms. However, it was only a moment before he returned to his mother's embrace, because her mother's embrace was fragrant.

the next day

During Chinese New Year, people usually stay at home on the first day, and visit relatives on the second day. The so-called visiting relatives is just a married daughter returning to her parents’ home. However, Lin Yiyi doesn't have this particularity. In fact, modern people don't have such particularity.

In addition, Xiao Ling's family was going to come over in the second day of junior high school, and Lin Zhen and Lin Dajun were also going to Captain Lin's house, so Lin Yiyi's day to return to her parents' home was fixed on the first day of junior high school. No, Lin Yiyi did this, and Sanfang followed suit. They were also scheduled to return to their parents' home on the first day of the new year, and they also borrowed Jin Yu's bicycle.

On the first day of the first lunar month, almost every household wears new clothes. Little Eleven also put on new clothes, a little duck suit. The trousers and clothes are all made of black corduroy. There are two small yellow ducks on the trousers, while the clothes are in the style of a sweater, with a pullover, a hat, a large pocket on the front, and a small yellow duck on the pocket. Outside the suit, he wore a small army green padded jacket, and the hat was a woolen hat, which was also army green, but there was a five-pointed rib on the hat. The whole person looks a bit like a small People's Liberation Army, very handsome. Little Eleven is a boy who likes to look good. He puts on new clothes and keeps running around his dad: "Dad, does it look good?" The little doll, who is 4 years old this year, also knows that it looks good.

Jin Yu gave a positive comment: "Good-looking." His daughter-in-law is very tasteful in dressing up, so she looks good.

Jin Yu also wore new clothes today, also corduroy trousers and a wool top, but the style of the top is the style of a Chinese tunic suit. This style is almost universal in this era. There are some leaders in the factory and others. Yes, they like to wear them. The difference is that Jin Woo's clothes are made of different materials.

Lin Yiyi was wearing a pair of black velvet pencil pants. The pencil pants were not leggings, but they were a little tighter than other pants. In fact, in this day and age, some people tuck their pants into socks to keep warm in winter. Lin Yiyi's top is also a padded jacket, which is also army green like Xiao Eleven, but her padded jacket is the kind that reaches to the thigh and covers the buttocks. After all, she is wearing pencil pants, and her kidneys are a bit wrapped and cannot be exposed. If it is the previous corduroy straight pants or wide-leg pants, you can wear a short padded jacket.

However, in Little Eleven's eyes, his mother's padded jacket is the same as his, and he is very happy.

Lin Yiyi: "Let's go." The weather was fine, so the family went to the Shanglin Production Brigade to warm up their bodies. Anyway, it was about half an hour away.

Little Eleven walked first, holding his father in his left hand and his mother in his right hand, but after walking for a while, he was tired and asked his father to hug him. Jin Yu directly carried him on his back, and he shouted like a horse.

Lin Yiyi patted him on the back lightly: "Don't make trouble, be good."

Little Eleven sticks out his tongue: "Slightly..."

Lin Yiyi thought to herself, if there was a clip, she might grab his tongue.

At half past eight, they arrived at the Shanglin Production Brigade.

"Dajun, Xiaozhen..."

Lin Dajun: "Hey eldest sister, you are here." Seeing the eldest sister's family of three coming, Lin Dajun hurriedly shouted inside, "Daughter-in-law, eldest sister is here, make some tea."

Lin Zhen: "Hey."

Lin Zhen's belly was huge, and she felt like she was about to give birth at any time.

Lin Zhen: "Sister, brother-in-law, drink tea." The tea is brown sugar water, specially used for entertaining distinguished guests.

Lin Yiyi: "Where are the Fourth Army and Xiao Wu?"

Lin Dajun: "I slept in the night vigil last night, and the Fourth Army was still sleeping. Xiao Wu took Wanda to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings."

Lin Yiyi: "I'll go to see the Fourth Army."

Little Eleven: "I'll go too."

The door of Lin Sijun's house was open, but he slept like a pig, and he didn't even know that Lin Yiyi pushed open the door and entered. Xiao Shi looked at it, rubbed his hands together, and then laughed wickedly, and put his cold little hand into the bed.

Lin Yiyi shook her head and walked out of the room. As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard Lin Sijun's voice: "Ah... Eleven, you little rascal."

Little Eleven giggled.

Lin Sijun bent down and carried him onto the bed, then tucked him into the blanket: "Are you cold?"

Little Eleven: "It's not cold."

Lin Sijun: "It's not so cold with cold hands."

Little Eleven put his hand on Lin Sijun's stomach: "It's not cold anymore."

Lin Sijun: "You little rascal." Although he said that, he still covered Xiao Shi's hand.

Lin Yiyi took a look at the hygiene in the house and walked into the room again: "Get up."
