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

The family of six went to the cinema, Lin Wudi was sitting on his brother-in-law's shoulder, holding his brother-in-law's head with two small hands, feeling that he was the tallest and most beautiful cub. Especially his little feet, they jumped around because of excitement. He just came back from the country today. The country is a dirt road. Shaking on Jin-woo's clothes.

The fifth brother Lin was chatting with Xiao Yu about something Lin Yiyi couldn't understand, and Xiao Yu was coping with it. Lin Yiyi sighed that Jin Yu's patience with children is really good. Lin Yiyi turned to look at Lin Dajun again, and asked about the pig farm: "Dajun, what's the situation in the commune's pig farm now?"

After listening to his sister's question about the business, Lin Dajun answered seriously: "All the piglets from the pig farm went in yesterday. This time, 100 piglets were approved, 50 of which are for the commune pig farm. 50 of the pigs are only task pigs. According to Director Yang, when our commune's pig farm is opened, we won't have to go out to buy piglets in the future, we will have our own pig farm. "

Lin Yiyi: "Then when do you go to work?"

Lin Dajun: "I will have a day off tomorrow, and I will go to work the day after tomorrow."

Lin Yiyi: "Bring 60 yuan to work and adopt 3 piglets from Director Yang."

When it comes to money, Lin Dajun took out the 20 yuan his sister gave him from his pocket and returned it to his sister: "I didn't buy anything, and the food was paid by Director Yang. Director Yang said that he was on a business trip on behalf of the commune, and the food was eaten. It belongs to the public family, and the common people cannot make their own money.”

Lin Yiyi took 20 yuan and gave him another 50 cents: "This is a reward for you, you did a good job on this business trip, and told your brothers a lot of outside things, which opened their eyes, you didn't My sister is also very pleased with the indiscriminate use of money."

Lin Dajun happily accepted the 50 cents, even more happy than holding the 20 cents, because the 20 cents belonged to his sister, and the 5 cents were rewarded to him by her elder sister, and that was his. It's just: "Sister, our family wants to buy three piglets? Director Yang said that a family of mission pigs can only raise one piglet."

Lin Yiyi said: "After we build the three new houses, we will split up the family. By then, you will all be heads of households, and you will be able to raise piglets and chickens in your own home."

Except for the fifth brother Lin who didn't know what the split was, the other three brothers were stunned.

Lin Sanjun: "Split...split?" They never thought about splitting.

Lin Dajun: "Why did you want to split up the family?"

Lin Yiyi said: "The family is separated. You hide the food you earn from work, and save the money you earn from work. When you grow up, you will marry wives and have children of your own. Home, where do you all live when you get married? Where do your children live? Who will keep the money you earn? Who will give the food your children eat?"

Lin Sijun: "Leave it to my sister for safekeeping."

Lin Yiyi: "Are you trying to exhaust your elder sister to death? My elder sister wants to keep your things, your daughter-in-law's things, your children's things, and your grandchildren's things in the future?"

Lin Sijun was silent, as if this would not work.

Lin Yiyi said: "You are still brothers after the separation. Brothers should help each other. For example, if you quarrel with someone, if you can't quarrel alone, if you have three brothers together, three mouths will definitely quarrel more than one mouth. Three mouths It's not enough, when the time comes to call your daughter-in-law, six mouths will be enough. But...you can quarrel with your mouth, but you can't fight with your hands." To put it a bit harshly, quarrelling and scolding will not kill people, but fighting will kill them.

Lin Sijun was laughed at by her sister: "Sister, I'm the best at arguing, but the third brother definitely won't."

Lin Sanjun: "..."

Lin Yiyi said: "No matter what conflicts there are between brothers, you can resolve them by yourself when you close the door, even if you close the door, it doesn't matter if you fight, but when you go outside, the brothers must unite, we have no parents. Children, we can't have no more brothers, understand?"

Lin Dajun: "Understood." They don't have parents, so they will be bullied by others, but if they have more brothers, they will not dare to bully them. People in the countryside want sons, and this is actually the same reason. If a son has a straight waist, there are people at home even if they fight. Speaking of which, if Lin Erjun hadn't left, and if the five brothers of the Lin family united, they would be invincible in the commune, who would have so many sons?

Lin Sanjun: You must be a soldier. When you become a soldier, he is the support of his sister, and no one can bully them without parents.

There weren't many people watching the movie at this time, so when they went, there were a lot of movie tickets left. Lin Yiyi bought five movie tickets, and children like Lin Wudi didn't need to collect money. The movie playing today is called "Kunlun Rider". This movie was released in 1960. The content of the movie was very popular with the younger brothers of the Lin family. The children watched and discussed it gently.

The film is 82 minutes long, and it only came out at 8:00 at the end. After leaving the cinema, Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun were still actively discussing, and Lin Sanjun remained silent throughout the whole process. However, I could vaguely feel that he seemed to have changed a bit.

Before entering the movie theater, he wanted to become a soldier, just to give his sister a support and not let others bully them as children without parents, but after watching this movie, he seemed to understand another meaning.

the next day

In the morning, Lin Yiyi took the younger brothers of the Lin family to see the train, and in the afternoon, Lin Dajun took the younger brothers back.

In a blink of an eye, on August 10, the three houses of the Lin family were ready. The three houses are side by side. Although each courtyard has its own small courtyard, there is a one-meter-wide door on the side. You can walk through the side door of the yard. If you have something to do, you can also call directly at the side door of the yard. If in the future, the concubine's family does not get along well, this door can also be sealed.

The three houses are all ready. In addition to the blue bricks provided by the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Yiyi spent another 400 yuan, which is 100 more than the original budget of 300 yuan, but there are still many furniture in the house that are not matched. Such as tables, chairs, cabinets, etc.

It was Friday on the 10th, and Lin Dajun was at work. On Sunday the 12th, Lin Yiyi took their brothers to split up the family. The branch family invited the brigade captain, Dr. Lin and the brigade secretary as witnesses.

The Lin family doesn't have any assets, so there is no conflict at all to separate the family. The three houses are now owned by Lin Dajun, Lin Sanjun, and Lin Sijun. Regarding the money from the sale of pig raising technology, there are still 200 yuan left. These 200 yuan As the cost of marrying a daughter-in-law after the three brothers and the cost of reading.

For the rest of the fifth brother Lin, Lin Yiyi will bear the money for his studies for the time being. After Lin Dajun works, the fifth brother Lin will pay for his studies until he graduates. At the same time, Lin Dajun will also be responsible for the house of fifth brother Lin and the size of the house. According to the scale of their three houses now, this is the responsibility Lin Dajun should pay for getting the job.

In fact, fifth brother Lin is still young, so he can't spend much money on studying. When he grows up, Lin Dajun has been working for more than ten years. Even if the prices have gone up at that time, Lin Dajun can definitely afford such a house. , on the contrary, he still earns.

Regarding the content of the agreement on the separation of the family, the three brothers of the Lin family had no opinion, and the fifth brother of the Lin family had no right to express their opinions, so after the separation of the family, they immediately went to separate the household registration.

At noon, the Lin family held a wedding banquet at the old house. Qin Xiangju and Grandma Xiao came to help, plus the captain's wife, Dr. Lin's wife, and Yang Guilan, there were enough people.

All the people invited to the banquet were from the village, but there were not many people, just a few people who helped build the house. The rural people pay attention to human relations, and the Lin family has no relatives, so there are very few human relations.

After lunch, everyone helped to clean up. Lin Dajun took Lin Sanjun, Lin Sijun and Xiao Yu to the commune pig farm to adopt task pigs. A task piglet cost 20 yuan, and the three brothers received four of them. The remaining 200 yuan, only 120 yuan. One of the piglets was headed by Lin Wudi's household, but it was raised by the three brothers. When it was released, the three brothers shared it equally.

Jin Yu used the back seat of the bicycle to carry piglets, just two on the left and one on the right, Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun carried a piglet, and Lin Sanjun carried a pig.

When they got home, the Lin family had already packed up, and the chickens that had been agreed before had also arrived and put them in the chicken coop in the three brothers' new house. The fifth brother Lin was playing with the chickens, and he ran around the three houses. Go, see the piglets from this family and the piglets from that family for a while, and have a lot of fun.

After the piglets arrived, they were directly raised in a new house. Lin Dajun's family raised two, Lin Sanjun's family and Lin Sijun's family raised one. However, because the other piglet is public, its food is rotated among the three brothers, and each is responsible for a week. Of course, there are two chickens under the name of the fifth brother Lin, who are also raised by Lin Dajun.

In fact, the houses of this era can be moved in as soon as they are built. There is no such thing as a modern house. The new house needs to be renovated, and then there will be various flavors. The rural houses in this era are not renovated. But the newly built house always smelled of moisture and soil, so Lin Yiyi decided to let the house cool for a few more days, but the furniture of the house could be matched.

Lin Yiyi: "The big army, the third army, the fourth army."

Brothers of the Lin family: "Sister?"

Lin Yiyi took out the meat ticket: "There are 20 pounds of free meat tickets here. On the trading day of the commune on the 15th, you can bring the meat tickets to exchange for something."

Lin Dajun: "I was at work that day."

Lin Yiyi: "What the army wants to change and explain to the third army, the third army and the fourth army also discuss and discuss to see what needs to be replaced in your respective homes. There is no pot for your stove, when the time comes, my sister will buy it for you and use what you have left. You can buy it for 140 yuan. But you have to find your own way for the bowls, washbasins, cabinets, desks, etc. at home. There are market transactions every month, don’t be impatient, take your time. If you don't know, you can go with the captain's aunt and ask her for reference."

Lin Dajun: "Do you trade meat?" He was reluctant.

Lin Sijun was drooling at the meat ticket, and he was not willing.

Lin Yiyi: "If you don't want to use meat tickets, then think about it, what other transactions can you use?"

Lin Sijun rolled his eyes: "Let's go fishing for big ominous shrimp. We used the meat of big ominous shrimp to trade food before. Even if we can't trade as much food as before, we can still trade other things, right?"

Lin Dajun: "I knew that those eggs were not eaten, and they were all saved. They can definitely be traded with eggs." They each had an egg a day, and they ate happily.

Lin Sijun: "Hey..."

Lin Dajun: "In the future, I have to save all the eggs and not eat them."

Lin Sijun: "I won't eat it either."

Lin Sanjun: "..." He was also prepared to do so.

Lin Yiyi thought it was good to see them thinking about life. What you want, to have through your own efforts, this meaning is different.

Lin Yiyi: "You can also make some food to trade."

Lin Dajun: "Dumplings?"

Lin Sijun: "Steamed bread?"

They can make dumplings and steamed buns, because Lin Yiyi has done it several times, and they all help out together.

Lin Sanjun: "No flour."

Suddenly, Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun looked at Lin Yiyi: "Sister, flour?"

Lin Yiyi said, "You do need flour to make steamed dumplings, but you don't have any flour. What are you going to do?"

Lin Dajun said, "First... get the flour first."

Lin Yiyi: "Then how did you get the flour?"

The younger brothers of the Lin family looked at Lin Yiyi, the elder sister had flour. However, they couldn't say what they wanted from their sister. They have grown up, no longer in the 1960s, asking their sister for things is righteous, and now they also know the shame. My sister built a house for them and raised pigs for them, and my sister has done enough for them. They are all reading people. They know that other people's parents are not so good, let alone my sister?

Lin Sanjun: "We exchange meat tickets with my sister."

Lin Yiyi nodded with satisfaction: "Sanjun's brain is really good, if that's the case, elder sister should be your first person to trade. Sister doesn't take advantage of you, 8 cents a pound of meat, and 16 cents a pound of flour. , how about using 5 catties of flour for a catty of meat with you?"

Lin Sanjun took out a pound of meat tickets to Lin Yiyi.

Lin Dajun: "Sister, can we still exchange the meat ticket for something else with you?"

Lin Yiyi said: "The army's brain is also turning fast, knowing that it is not bad to exchange meat tickets with my sister for something else."

Lin Dajun smiled smugly.

Xiao Yu sat aside and looked at Lin Yiyi teaching his younger brother, his eyes were very gentle, only Lin Yiyi was in his eyes. He thought that when they have children in the future, she will definitely educate their children like this, and educate them well. When children are educating, they can't just tell them what to do, but guide them slowly and let them discover for themselves. At the same time, they should also be properly affirmed. Once they are affirmed and praised, they will work harder and want to make progress.

Lin Sijun pouted, the eldest brother and the third brother have both been praised by their sister, but he has not, he has to think hard.

Of course Lin Yiyi did not ignore Lin Sijun, but she also did not remind Lin Sijun to let him think for himself.

Lin Yiyi said to Lin Dajun: "Dajun, what do you want to exchange meat tickets with my sister? You only have 20 pounds of meat tickets, and each person can only use 6 pounds, so everyone must be conscious and can't use each other's money."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, if three people are 6 pounds, they will only be 18 pounds."

Lin Yiyi gave him a roll of eyes: "Don't you want to eat meat?"

Lin Dajun laughed: "You need to eat what you want."

In the end, they exchanged meat tickets and Lin Yiyi for rice, soap, brown sugar, and white sugar. They plan to prepare all of these and see what they can trade at that time.

Lin Sijun: "Sister, are you going on the trading day?"

Lin Yiyi: "Go and see."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, what are you going to trade? Are you going to trade?"

Lin Yiyi: "I use bean sprouts to trade other vegetables, and I make some bean sprouts buns, mung bean soup, and cold noodles to trade."

Lin Dajun: "Sister, can you make cold noodles? I've never eaten them."

Lin Yiyi: "I didn't see buckwheat flour before. I saw buckwheat flour when I went shopping two days ago. The cold noodles are made with buckwheat flour, and the taste is very good. On the 15th, I went directly from the county seat to the commune site. We were in the commune. Assemble over there, and I'll let you taste it when the time comes."

In fact, Lin Yiyi saw soba noodles when she was looking at the system mall a few days ago, and remembered the cold noodles that she ate in modern times, but she just bought the noodles and never made them, so she can try it this time.

The siblings discussed it for a while, and then Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu went back to the county seat.

That night, Lin Yiyi decided to make cold soba noodles.

Cold soba noodles are very simple, first boil the noodles in a pot, then cool the boiled noodles, wait until cool, and add the ingredients. The ingredients are shredded cucumber, shredded radish, bean sprouts, and shredded egg, then add soy sauce, salt and rice vinegar, adjust the taste by yourself, and then put it in well water to soak. If it is now, you can add peanuts, shredded carrots, cilantro, and put it in the refrigerator.

Too bad refrigerators are hard to come by these days.

While Lin Yiyi was doing it, Xiao Yu was taking care of the vegetable shed in the yard. When Lin Yiyi was ready, he called out to Xiao Yu: "Brother Yu, come and taste it."

Jin-Woo: "Come on."

He took out a spoonful of water and washed his face: "Is this what you mean by cold noodles?"

Lin Yiyi: "Well, a bowl of noodles, a bowl of soup, eat and see." Of course, the soup is tomato egg drop soup.

Jin Yu gulps down the soup first, the soup is no longer hot, and the temperature is just right. Then he added cold soba noodles, and the sour taste made people appetizing. After taking a sip, Jin Yu praised: "This tastes good." Among the dishes his daughter-in-law has cooked, lobster and this taste the best, "It seems that you have this talent." He used to think that his daughter-in-law had no talent for cooking, although He is not particular about what he eats, as long as he can fill his stomach, but after eating the lobster made by his wife, he has begun to look forward to what he eats.

Lin Yiyi: "How about I trade this on the trading day?"

Jin-Woo: "Is the cost high?"

Lin Yiyi: "We have two plates here, plus there is a full plate in the pot, a total of half a catty of noodles. The vegetables are all at home. If these are not cost, the noodles are less than 1 cents. "It's pretty cheap. In other words, a dime can have three plates, and each plate is also three or four cents. You must know that a fried dough stick costs three cents, and it’s not enough to fill your teeth, but for an adult lesbian, it’s definitely enough to fill your teeth. Cheaper than fritters.

Jin-Woo: "I think it works, but what are you going to change?"

Lin Yiyi: "Anything is fine, see what you can exchange. If there is no one to exchange, wait until the army and the mother and the others go to the market, and give them something to eat."

Jin-Woo: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi: "In addition to cold noodles, can I prepare some steamed buns?"

Jin Yu: "Meat buns? Are buns expensive?" He didn't know anything about it.

Lin Yiyi: "The cost of meat is definitely high, but we can put vegetables instead of meat. One pound of flour costs sixteen cents, and you can make 16 buns, and one bun is only one cent, and everyone will definitely change it." If you can't eat flour, those with urban hukou can eat it, because every month residents benefit from flour.

Lin Yiyi didn't go there to make money, she was just curious. The current trading market is like a modern night market and market day, but it is quite lively, and she just wants to see it.

On August 15th, the free trading day of Sunshine Commune, it happened to be Wednesday. Jin Yu had to go to work, but the couple got up early. Jin Yu was pulling the cart and Lin Yiyi was pushing the bicycle. There are two buckets, a back basket, a small table, two stools, and some tableware and other items on the cart. From the county seat to the gate of the commune, it takes about 40 minutes to arrive.

They went early, and it was only after five o'clock when they arrived there. Although there were people at this time, there were not many people.

Lin Sijun: "Big sister, big sister here..." The younger brothers of the Lin family went earlier. Yesterday, the three brothers were so excited that they hadn't slept much all night. Today, before dawn, they brought fifth brother Lin to the commune playground to occupy location. At this moment, Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun were carrying backpacks, but Lin Sanjun did not. However, in front of Lin Sanjun was a big back basket, and inside the big back basket was the sleeping fifth brother Lin.

Lin Yiyi asked Xiao Yu to pull the cart over there: "Are you here? Have you eaten breakfast? Didn't my aunt come?"

Lin Dajun said: "When we set off, my aunt didn't get up, so we came first. There was no one here when we came, and we were the first to arrive."

Lin Yiyi: "Did you eat breakfast then?" After saying that, Xiao Yu had already taken out all his things and set them up. There was a bucket of cold soba noodles, a bucket of mung bean soup, a basket of vegetable buns on the ground, a table next to it, and two stools.

Lin Dajun: "I ate the steamed bun." However, they knew that the steamed bun would be exchanged for something, so they were reluctant to eat it.

Lin Yiyi said: "Sister has something to eat here, it's still early, you guys have something to eat first." As she spoke, she took out a plate and bowl, and filled them with mung bean soup and cold soba noodles. The bowl was prepared in advance, and it was originally planned to wait for the younger brothers to come and let them taste it. Not only them, but also Qin Xiangju's tableware and chopsticks were prepared.
