Fan Shula didn't like the marriage, so she never thought that she would directly benefit Yao Hong.
Yao Hong and Lin Xiaoxing are middle school classmates, and they are about the same age. Xiaoxing's children can be sent to daycare, but she is not married yet. Not to mention married, she doesn't even have a partner.
Lin Yutong had also heard other people talk about this girl.
Speaking of which, it was not easy for her.
No matter when people ask, this girl always says: "Looking at the model couple of Metal Worker and Section Chief Lin, I feel that the recommendations they introduce are not very reliable. No, the benchmark is set too high.
It’s not enough for most people.”
She said this half-jokingly, but in fact, her family's conditions did not allow it.
Her parents are ordinary residents, and her mother seems to work in a labor protection sewing factory run by the street. That kind of work is based on piecework, where the workers in the factory produce work clothes. If you are quick with your hands and feet, you can earn
There are more. But unfortunately, her mother is not a lazy person. After all, she has been pampered for half her life. If you think about it, you know that the life of the Yao family before liberation should be considered good, otherwise it would not be possible.
It was enough for a girl to go to a church middle school. I heard people say that the Yao family used to have a shop at home, which dealt in goods from the north and the south. Before liberation, the business was difficult to do. The money paid for the goods on credit was too much for people to use for wiping their buttocks at that time.
Hard gold yuan coupons are used for the checkout. The payment for the goods here cannot be collected, and the goods purchased from others over there are not paid yet. On the one hand, I want to use gold yuan coupons to pay for myself, but the other side that requires me to check out insists on only accepting silver dollars.
By cutting both ends in this way and giving the goods from home together with the shop to others, this can be regarded as repaying the debt.
His father was very angry. He said that when he came home from the shop, he fell into a ditch for some reason and fell into a ditch. He froze all night before being found and fished out. He fell seriously ill when he came home.
, I continued to buy all the medicine I had at home. But just like that, my body was not doing well, and the root cause of the disease was still found. I had some kind of lung disease, and I gasped when I saw the wind. I couldn't do anything anymore.
She also has a younger brother.
Without a shop, there is no source of livelihood. The only advantage is that when dividing the area, urban civilians were classified, and those who have shops are small business owners.
As a commoner, she successfully found her current job and became the country's iron rice bowl. But her family couldn't just leave it alone. Every time someone introduced someone to her, her mother would cry: "...I paid for your education back then.
The confession has been made, but now your wings are stiff and you are about to fly away. If you leave me, your father and your brother behind, you might as well starve to death."
Her mother is just that kind of person. She feels that if her daughter gets married, she won't be able to subsidize her parents' family. She wants to wait until her son grows up before letting her daughter go.
One year of waiting and one year of delay made this girl grow older.
This girl was a bit arrogant two years ago. Although she still likes to gossip now, comparisons and the like are completely gone. Life is like this, it can smooth out all the edges and corners of a person.
Lin Yutong only heard about it when the marriage was finalized.
A colleague in the department said that getting married was a big event and she should express her gratitude. It happened that people all over the country started to use cloth tickets, and it was hard to buy cloth outside. She simply gave Yao Hong a few feet of red foreign cloth, enough material to make a coat.
Made a congratulatory gift, handed the things over, said congratulations, and asked when the wedding would be.
This gift was a bit expensive, and Yao Hong kept saying, "Why is this good? It's too expensive to accept."
Lin Yutong pushed it over: "I bought it before the cloth tickets were issued. It didn't cost much."
"It didn't cost much" is a polite comment. But it's true that Section Chief Lin's salary is high and there are subsidies from outside.
She took it and said, "The date is set for National Day."
Yo! That's pretty tight.
Just as he was talking, Yu Youguang came in, holding a newspaper in his hand, "Come on, come on! It's study time." He pushed the newspaper to Yao Hong, "Little Yao will read to us today, all sit down.
, listen carefully.”
This first part has been distributed since the draft was announced, asking everyone to read and listen to it first, and then soliciting everyone’s opinions. It has been four months now.
Every time after reciting, Yu Youguang would say: "If you have any suggestions, you can give them any comments and suggestions. Let me know and I will summarize them and submit them..."
Not only in factories, but also with residents, and even in the fields, everyone's suggestions and opinions must be listened to extensively.
Everyone listens, and after listening, they solemnly say: "No objection."
In this way, this study lesson is completed.
It feels like sitting in the office says it’s a day’s work, but it’s really just half a day.
It's the kind that has many political tasks, many meetings and trainings, many official documents and reports, many organizations, and many part-time jobs for activists.
For example, Lin Yutong can finish her job early, but she still has to read reports at various study meetings. She also has to report her thoughts to the organization regularly, and she also works part-time as a women's director in the factory.
This kind of part-time job does not give you a penny more in salary. That is to say, when benefits are paid, the Women's Federation will keep a share for itself, and the Finance Department will also have its own share. This is the advantage. But there are many things to do, and time is not divided.
I came over here. When a couple fights, they have to take care of it. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, they have to take care of it. When someone's family is in trouble, they have to take care of it. The whole thing is like a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law.
Compared with this part-time job, Lin Yutong prefers the job outside.
Those being trained now are all drawn from the banking system. They have some foundations in themselves.
As for her, she hung a big abacus on the blackboard. In front of the students below, each person put a small abacus. They spent half a day cracking and scratching there. It only lasted four or five days a month, but the subsidy was enough.
Lin Yutong's current salary is half of that.
Before the National Day, I have been working here for a month.
This is the second time I have received welfare in a month. The first time was during the Mid-Autumn Festival before, when I received five kilograms of welfare food stamps, two kilograms of welfare meat stamps, half a kilogram of welfare oil coupons, half a kilogram of welfare sugar stamps, and moon cakes.
The supply ticket is two kilograms.
This National Day, there are no mooncake tickets, but they are replaced by one-foot-long cloth tickets.
This kind of ticket has an expiration date and will become invalid upon expiration.
So after getting off work at four o'clock, Lin Yutong went to the designated place to receive all kinds of benefits at five o'clock.
Bringing the two portions from the factory, Lin Yutong can get three portions by himself. Add in the Fourth Master's, and during a festival, the food distributed from the welfare alone will be seventy or eighty kilograms.
Guilan was jealous: "...it's a shame that we don't celebrate festivals every day. If we celebrated festivals every day, your family would be richer than a landlord."
But every time before a festival, Lin Yutong would still send a few kilograms of fine grain to his hometown as a token of appreciation. He would not dare to give more than that.
In fact, life in rural areas may not be much worse. A family can grow some food on their own land and raise pigs and chickens. Although it is a unified purchase, how many eggs and chickens you are willing to sell is your family's business.
Just like Li Yuefen, she raises more than a dozen chickens at home and collects at least five or six eggs a day.
Just leave half of it for your children to eat, and you can still save two or three a day.
As soon as I came out of the chicken coop that day, I saw the postman riding his bicycle outside and shouting: "Is Li Yuefen's home? Is Li Yuefen at home?"
"Here!" She quickly wiped her hands on her apron and went out. Liu Lingdang stopped at the door and looked over: "Is it my brother-in-law who has sent something again?"
The postman nodded with a smile and said to Li Yuefen: "My aunt has raised a filial son. This is the second time this month. He weighs four or five pounds."
Li Yuefen smiled unnaturally: "Four or five pounds, is enough for what?"
The postman stopped laughing and said, "Auntie, my job is very physical. I only need about thirty kilograms of grain a month, and the fine grains in it are only about ten kilograms in total. You mailed it twice this month, and it's still ten kilograms."
It’s a pound. This is what your son saved from his own mouth. If there is one-third less food, he may be hungry. Why is it too little for you? You are going too far.
"
People nowadays tend to speak fairly.
As a result of the shouting, many people gathered around to take a look. This person said something and that person said something about Li Yuefen.
Liu Lingdang hurriedly said: "Mom, give those eggs you saved to Liao Da's uncle and his aunt and ask someone to take them over..."
"That's what I want to keep in exchange for money." Li Yuefen shouted.
Liu Lingdang said with some intention: "My brother-in-law sends money back every month. You are not short of money to spend..."
Li Yuefen slapped Liu Lingdang on the face: "What's the matter with you! When will it be your turn to be the leader of this family?"
Then he carried the food and walked directly in.
Many people said: "Your mother-in-law was never like this before."
Of course it's not like this anymore. In the past, I had a capable son. I felt that I had someone to rely on and that my life was not so hard or tiring, so I was naturally willing to understand the truth. Now, that son has brought in a wife, although she has not lost her support.
, but from the heart, I still feel unsettled.
After all, I still feel that my father-in-law is unreliable, and neither is my third child.
The little hope in my heart was placed on Liao Da again.
As for Liao Da, she understood it clearly.
She just doesn't want to understand it when it comes to other people.
She beat her daughter-in-law in public, on the premise that she was not at fault. She may have felt that she didn't handle it well at the time, so Li Yuefen went out the next day and told the villagers: "It's not that I'm biased, what can I do if I'm not biased?"
.Now that you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. Now the only one you can rely on is his fourth uncle..." Bah bah bah. People who don't know may think that Liu Lingdang has done something to call her mother-in-law like this.
Be on guard.
Liu Lingdang was so angry that she couldn't even defend herself.
How to do it?
In the evening, I was blowing pillows with the third child: "...didn't you hear what they said? The food he sent back was because his fourth uncle saved his own rations. But who did he send it back to eat? His parents couldn't bear to part with it.
, it’s not just a pimple. I sent sweet potatoes last year, and seeing the belly of my younger siblings, I’m afraid they may have some. Now I have a baby. There’s not even a letter there. Every time I send something or money, there’s not even a few words.
Do you think his fourth uncle can know what’s going on at home? Can he feel at ease if he knows? But that’s his parents, there’s nothing he can do about it. My parents can feel at ease, but we can’t. We are the parents of Lump, and our children have benefited.
We can’t pretend to be stupid. We have to express our feelings..."
What do you mean? What can you have at home?
After Liu Lingdang whispered in Laosan's ear for a while, the next day, Li Yuefen found that she had only collected one egg, and she angrily scolded several hens for a while, and also muttered, why did she do it so early?
No more eggs.
Then after three or five days in a row, she still could only receive one egg, and she realized what was happening.
She scolded the couple for stealing her eggs.
One of the couple pretended to be deaf and the other pretended to be mute. They even started to lock the door when they came in and out.
Lin Yutong didn't know anything about her hometown. She was here to attend Yao Hong's wedding.
The injuries on the groom's face, named Wang Ge|ming, are far from frightening. From the bottom of his eyes to the corner of his forehead, there are scars as wide as a willow leaf and half a finger long.
It does jump occasionally, but it's not obvious.
Everyone was playing tricks on the bride and groom, so I asked, "Tell me how you two got to know each other!"
A more civilized way of playing.
Wang Ge|Ming was particularly cheerful, so he smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I am a tall person, which is rather unsightly. An elder introduced a girl to me before, and the girl promised at first but then regretted it. I thought, we
At least you have to explain it clearly. I have troubled my parents so much, and then you said you don’t want to marry me. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to get married, the key is my mother, she thought I was sorry for what I did.
I was so angry that I couldn’t eat because of someone else’s problem. So I thought about it and said, let’s talk to someone else’s girl and let’s talk things through. But when I got to the factory, I met her on the way..."
He pointed at Yao Hong, "When she saw me, she looked hard at my face. I thought to myself that this girl is very bold and not afraid of me. Before I could ask her, she said first, this scar is not ugly! I
My heart said, if you meet someone you don’t dislike, then hurry up. Just ask her, are you married? Do you have a partner? She was honest and said no. Then I will say, if you think this scar is not ugly, I will
If you can still make a living, just marry me. That's it, isn't this marriage?"
Yao Hong lowered her head and smiled, then asked with a blushing face: "Aren't the scars on my man's face ugly?"
No!
Everyone shouted and shouted.
Yao Hong raised her chin and said with a bit of pride: "Not only do I feel it's not ugly, but I also feel it's glorious." Then she stood on tiptoes generously and kissed the scar.
Everyone cheered loudly, and Lin Yutong saw a flash of moisture in Wang Ge|ming's eyes. He held Yao Hong's face and kissed her on the forehead.
The young people were laughing and joking. Lin Yutong said hello to the elders of the two families and came out.
Yao Hong, I'm afraid she really cares about Wang Ge|ming. Everyone knows that Wang Ge|ming was ruined by Fan Shula, but what she has done today, even if she is in front of everyone, her husband
His face was restored.
Is Yao Hong worse than Fan Shula?
He is also decent and well-educated, and his job is no worse than that of Fan Shula. He found the job by himself. Fan Shula's family has burdens, which are political baggage.
Yao Hong also has burdens, but they are economic pressures. Compared with political burdens, economic pressures seem to be easier for people to accept. After all, everyone has a quota of food, so who else can be hungry?
With some subsidies, Yao Hong’s younger brother will be an adult in a few years, and he won’t have this burden anymore.
The parents of the Wang family were obviously more interested in Yao Hong. Both of them were honest country people, and they smiled so hard that they could barely see their teeth.
After the National Day, the days are getting colder day by day.
I don’t know from which day the residents in the building started to have troubles again.
Why bother? Digging a vegetable cellar. A vegetable cellar for winter storage!
There is also a supply of winter vegetables in the city. If the population is large, the quantity is really not small. Lin Yutong planned to buy it and put it directly in the Lin family. The Lin family has a cellar. Otherwise, it would not be possible to store it.
As a result, everyone started digging. On the open space behind the building, some thoughtful people also drew lines with white ash, and each household had a space of about ten square meters.
Lin Yutong didn't really want to dig, and didn't want Fourth Master to suffer the hardship. But the old lady kept saying: "dig, be prepared. It's been a good year, and nothing to say, the supply can keep up, and most of them are good."
Food. If you encounter a bad year, one person can survive with hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes. There are some things that are not easy to spoil if they are kept in the cellar."
Okay, let’s dig it.
In time for the weekend, Dayuan and Lin Baichuan, together with Lin Baichuan's guards and drivers, called on Su Jin to get started. These people wanted to dig out two families, and Su Jin didn't know how to dig without the help of others.
Already.
I worked overtime and dug for two days before finally digging out the vegetable cellar.
The depth of one foot from the ground level is built with bricks, and every household's vegetable cellar has a manhole cover with a latch on the side, which can be locked with a key.
The residents of this place who belong to the dark side stand where they can see from the windows, and no one will steal. Except for the naughty children, no one even touches other people's things.
Lin Yutong's vegetable cellar is actually outside the balcony.
The fourth master put mouse traps in the vegetable cellar and sandwiched a thick iron sheet between the two wooden boards of the manhole cover. It would not be easy for anyone to easily split the manhole cover.
At this time, the unified purchase and control of vegetables was not so strict. There was a high degree of freedom in whether to sell or keep the autumn vegetables grown in private plots in rural areas. Some people said they were keeping them for eating, but in fact they went out in the middle of the night to secretly bring them to the city.
See if you can sell it for money.
In the city, food is tight and there is not enough money to buy vegetables. No matter what kind of food it is, as long as you don’t need food stamps, you can buy it. When food is not available, you will use vegetables and vegetables to save your life.
Therefore, when it is dark, the factory becomes lively.
When I saw a vegetable vendor, I would drag him into the factory without any hesitation.
The fellow said: "If you call me in, you can't buy so much..."
"Let's go, let's go! Why can't we buy so much?" The man said, "If I give you ten more cars, or a hundred cars, I can buy it for you."
The fellow villagers are also afraid of the market inspection in the city. If they catch you, it will be bad. If you enter the factory, you will be safe.
Then the man kept enough for himself and shouted outside: "Hurry up, who else wants..."
Swarming up!
The fellow asked: "There are still things in my hometown...if you want..."
"I want it! I want it all. We want as much as you have." Everyone responded like this.
Then, before dawn the next day, people came to the factory one after another, people pulled by cars, people carrying them, and people carrying them on their shoulders.
Cabbage, radish, green onions, half-red tomatoes in autumn, old cucumbers, old eggplants, old beans, frost-killed green peppers, and potatoes, garlic, strings of red peppers, pumpkins, winter melons, radish tassels including white radish, and potherb mustard
, are all available. In addition, there are also farm-made sweet potato noodles, vermicelli noodles and so on.
Lin Yutong said in his heart, picking up some.
But the old lady is so anxious that she buys everything she sees. The old lady’s mentality is the same as everyone else’s. As long as she can eat, she can fill her belly.
So in the blink of an eye, the cellar was about to be filled. Lin Yutong said: "Keep the radish and send it back to my mother, dry it at home, and then bring it back..."
This loser!
How many taels does it take to dry a pound of radish?
The old lady refused: "Keep half of it and dry half of it in the sun."
But there are some dishes that the old lady doesn’t put in the vegetable cellar. Pickles are made from mustard seeds and radish tassels. Add some chopped ginger and chili peppers, it’s even better. There are also green and red peppers. Green chilies are pickled, and red chili peppers are marinated.
Get it up and hang it by the stove at the door, and just pull it when you eat. The old eggplants need to be dried in the sun, and the cucumbers are soaked to make pickles. A basket of tomatoes, the old lady made them all that day while sleeping in the morning sun.
It turned into tomato sauce. It was sealed in a boiled glucose glass bottle sent by Xintian.
All preparations for winter are in place.
As a result, the third couple and Liu Lingdang came. The concierge knew each other and let them in directly. When they arrived, Lin Yutong and the fourth master went to work. The old lady was at home with her children.
The old lady said: "I'm going to call someone to bring the fourth couple back..."
Liu Lingdang was stopped by her life and death: "Grandma, please don't. Let's just take a look at... the child..." As she said this, she looked at the fat baby lying in the cradle sleeping very soundly: "...she said in her heart.
I came to take a look after finishing my work, but it turned out that I was late. The child is so big..." She picked up a large basket of eggs from the door. "This is a little thought from his brother and I..." As she said,
Then he pointed outside and said, "I pulled a few bags of sweet potatoes, a few bags of cabbage and radishes, a dozen large Japanese melons, and a rooster... The food in the city is tight. If there is not enough to eat, tell your family not to eat."
No, there are enough sweet potatoes...we will bring them again..."
The old lady took out the steamed buns yesterday and told the two of them to eat them, "I don't care about the heat anymore. Let's make some first."
The two of them didn't eat much. They each ate one, then shook their heads and said, "I brought dry food with me on the way. I ate it before coming in. Just taste it." Then he asked the third child to unload the things and left anyway.
The old lady couldn't let people leave like this empty-handed, so she handed the cloth coupons in her hand, together with the fine cotton cloth Lin Yutong bought before, to Liu Lingdang, "Take it, you will inevitably have children in the future. Keep these for the children."
clothes."
Rural areas do not use food stamps and do not have food books, but cloth stamps are used uniformly. There is still a gap in the supply of cloth in rural areas compared with that in cities.
This thing is relatively rare.
Lin Yutong heard about it when he came back and wrote it down. He thought Liu Lingdang was quite interesting. No matter how sincere he was, at least he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
She told Fourth Master: "We will no longer send food at all in the future. We will not send any food during the holidays. We will send money directly to Liu Lingdang..."
Then when he sent money to his hometown, Lin Yutong wrote a few words. It meant that because his parents were old, he had to trouble his brother and sister-in-law to take care of them.
The postman helped me recite it, and the folks who were sunbathing outside in the cold weather were all listening.
Liu Lingdang's back is straight. My brother-in-law and my aunt sent money to my sister-in-law. What does this mean?
This is absolute trust.
I believe that her sister-in-law will be good to the whole family.
When the money was in her hand, Liu Lingdang's hands trembled. There were compliments all around, and she put the money close to her body: "The blind daters are all watching. If I, Liu Lingdang, can't afford to be the owner of this family, what can I do wrong?
Everyone just spit in my face..."
Li Yuefen wanted to make a fuss and got up in the middle of the night to go to the city to talk to her youngest son. Liu Lingdang stopped her directly: "...The first time you go back, they treat you as a Bodhisattva. The second time you go back, you can marry a good wife."
It became a matter of raising a son. When I went back for the third time, my brother-in-law gave up his words and said he would never come back. Now that he is back for the fourth time, what do you want to do? Is it okay to completely cut off the relationship? "
A son who is married into a bride is the same as a daughter who is married off. A married daughter can cut ties with her natal family, and the same can be said for a son who is married into a bride. Many people marry their sons far away, and it is common for them not to have contact with each other for decades.
Don't you understand what it means when someone sends money directly to your name?
Li Yuefen is a smart person after all. No matter how unwilling she is, she has to face the fact that her son is separated from her.
So, it was Liu Lingdang's turn to take charge of the family.
Liao Da's treatment remains unchanged, and he is told to eat fine grains. The fine powder sent back from the city will be exchanged for 90 powder.
What is 90 fans?
Flour is graded. If one hundred kilograms of wheat leaves ninety kilograms of flour, it is called ninety kilograms of flour. If one hundred kilograms of flour grinds out seventy kilograms of flour, it is called seventy kilograms of flour. The less flour that comes out, it proves that
The more wheat bran is harvested, the finer the flour and the whiter it looks. On the contrary, the coarser it is.
But if it's rough, just be rough. If it's rough, you can eat more. It's not a child who needs to be fed with rice cereal. It should have been eaten this way long ago.
The extra grain after the replacement was steamed with fine corn flour to make two-faced steamed buns, which were soft and fluffy. It was much better than eating whole grains. This kind of steamed buns was given to the old couple to eat, and Jin Dashan's complexion softened.
When I got up, I felt that it wasn’t bad for my daughter-in-law to be the head of the family here.
As for the young couple, they eat whole grains and sweet potatoes.
Anyway, a family of five has to cook three kinds of food.
The chickens are still being raised, Liaodu eats one egg a day, and the old couple eats one egg every three days. All the remaining eggs are saved.
She also talks about things: "...I didn't say that, but my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are very filial people. With two children in tow, I was saving food rations before, so I said it, I said that we are in the country
As long as we work hard, we won't starve to death. Why should we let them and the children go hungry to save food for their hometown? If the savings are used for emergencies, that's all, but they should be used to support the young master. I am the stepmother,
Ordinarily I shouldn't have said this. But if my mother-in-law really wants to raise this child like a young master, what will happen next? If my brother-in-law can raise a child when he is young, can he also raise a child when he is old? Without his father, he will not be able to nurse him.
Who do you rely on to make a living? If you only want to eat good food, but if you can't swallow it, aren't you just waiting to starve to death? His father is a farmer, and the children of farmers should look like farmers.
I don’t have to make you endure hardships, but you must at least be able to live the life of a farmer. So, I went to the city and tried to persuade you that there was only one child in the family and you had two children. Don’t send food back. But.
You see, the grain is no longer sent, and the money is not reduced at all. Let's send the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative. How much money can we exchange for it? The money they send back can buy half a truckload of eggs..."
Because there is such a person in his hometown, Lin Yutong feels that there is really no shortage of eggs at home.
It is said that there is unified purchasing and marketing, but for chickens raised in rural areas, it is still possible to exchange them privately or buy some secretly. Especially since their village is not in the town, many people travel more than ten miles with three or five eggs.
It doesn't count to go to the purchasing and marketing agency.
Liu Lingdang said: I'm going to town someday, so I'll sell it for you. Whatever you want, I'll bring it back to you..."
Then who knows whether she sells it or not, as long as everyone gets the sauce and vinegar they want, that's it.
Liu Lingdang didn't really sell it, he was just saving it.
Because of this, she was able to deliver two large baskets of eggs to Lin Yutong every month.
Lin Yutong naturally couldn't eat all this, and not all of it was for Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong naturally understood this. He still followed the old rules and called people for Liu Lingdang. The people in the building did not need to call the people upstairs. They just divided the eggs directly.
But every time, Lin Yutong would leave sixty eggs, enough for two children to eat one egg a day.
The remaining eggs were sold for more than twice the price of the purchasing and marketing cooperative.
Once you have money, in the countryside, you can secretly buy some melons, vegetables and grain from anyone who has a rich family. Some people are in a hurry to use money and ask her if she wants three to five kilograms of grain, thinking that she has it in her hands.
If she had money, her brother-in-law was short of food in the city, so he might be willing to ask for it. She would save everything that came to her, whether it was corn or dried sweet potatoes, as long as it was edible.
For this reason, she became more popular among the villagers and became a talker among women. At the end of the year, she was even appointed as the team leader of the Women's Mutual Aid Association.
Li Yuefen didn't dare to go to the city. She asked people to send several oral messages and letters for her, but her son didn't reply. She couldn't make a fuss. She only talked to Liu Lingdang. At most, she just wanted to get some treatment for Liao Dan. She also got involved in other things.
Not available.
The closer to the end of the year, the more people secretly come to Lin Yutong to inquire about Liu Lingdang: "...Is your sister-in-law coming yet?" They are anxious to buy eggs.
He probably won't be able to come.
The snow fell late this year, in the twelfth lunar month, and it fell intermittently for a week without stopping.
The children don't go to the daycare anymore. They stay in the building all day, running around upstairs and downstairs.
Danyang and Yuanhua were taken to the Lin family by Lin Baichuan. In his words: "...your grandpa's salary can still afford a few meals for you."
Mainly eggs and stuff, all supplied by Lin Yutong, for the past half year.
Usually when Liu Lingdang comes, Lin Yutong always asks Sister Miao to give her the money and ask her to buy an extra portion from Liu Lingdang and then deliver it to the Lin family. At least the eggs eaten during the aid to Korea are guaranteed.
With these reasons in mind, Lin Baichuan came to pick her up, and Lin Yutong let her go, telling her to play over there, as the place there was bigger.
It saves her nothing to do at home and just thinks about tormenting Chaoyang.
Chaoyang's temper is a little bad. If he is good, you'd better not tease him. Once you provoke him, his crying and howling sound can alarm half of the building.
Lin Yutong always said that this guy has a bad temper.
The old lady was not happy: "We are young men, we can't be called a little tempered."
It was said that Danyang was not here and it would be quiet for two days. However, Su Jin went to see Yuan Hua and said one more thing: "There are movies being shown in the factory these days. I'm afraid you won't be able to watch them."
Yuan Hua was a little younger and didn’t know what watching a movie meant, but Danyang understood. He immediately shouted to get dressed: "Uncle...take me back...take me back..."
So he was brought back.
What movie is playing?
A record of reconnaissance across the river.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were the ones who had seen it many times. I didn’t want to squeeze in to watch the fun, but the kids couldn’t do it.
There is a cinema in the Palace of Culture, and the only advantage is that you don't have to get cold outside.
Nian Youwei is particularly popular at this time. He shouted: "Xiao Nian, give us a good seat."
The one said: "Xiao Fan, take a few more seats, there are more of us..."
Then, before the time was up, they left one by one. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were considered leaders now, so their seats were reserved. The seats were close to each other, relatively wide, and there was an old lady sandwiched between them, so they could sit there.
It was raining. Chaoyang had never seen so many people before. He was so excited that he stepped on his father's lap with his little feet and jumped up and down, giggling. But when the movie started, the kid fell asleep.
No matter how loud the movie is, it can't wake him up.
Danyang leaned against her mother and shouted with everyone when she saw the excitement.
The old lady was just looking at it out of curiosity, and kept mumbling: "You said that the world today... is so good... I heard from your grandfather that at that time, only Shanghai had cinemas... I never dreamed that there were people like us.
The day I saw the movie..."
When the leader in the front row heard this, he turned his face and said, "So, the new society is better."
"Good, good!" The new society is really good.
At the end of the year, the Women's Federation simply held a meeting in the corridor of the building, and the old lady actively listened to it.
Lin Xiaoxing muttered to the old lady: "Where are we having a meeting? What are you listening to here?"
"The old lady is not a woman...comrade?" She was still unhappy.
Lin Xiaoxing was criticized: You are qualified to be an activist!
Isn’t it? Listen to the old lady humming something while coaxing Chaoyang to sleep: "...Socialism is good...Socialism is good...The people of socialist countries have a high status..."
Lin Xiaoxing murmured to Lin Yutong: "It wasn't like this when we coaxed aid to China."
Lin Yutong said of the old lady: "She is also a new generation of old lady who grew up with the new country..."
