Two days later, Hong Fang and Lao Yang knocked on Lin Yutong and Fourth Master's door late at night.
"Come in quickly." Lin Yutong quickly let people in.
Lao Yang shook hands with Fourth Master, "It's late at night, please excuse me."
Fourth Master politely asked the two of them to sit down.
Lao Yang put a bag of canned fruits on the table, "Thank you so much. If Xiao Lin hadn't reminded us, we really don't know what we would have done?"
"Small clever tricks can't be put on the stage." Fourth Master smiled, "If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing we could do, who would even think about it."
Lao Yang nodded, sighed and explained, "I know many people think that I want a son, so I insist on having a second child. In fact, it is not the case. I am also in a dilemma and don't know what to do. In fact, at home
The old man is not patriarchal, otherwise he would not support Hong Fang's college entrance examination. In my family, the situation is a bit special. For several generations, it has been a single generation. Regardless of male or female, they are all the same. My father is recruiting children.
Come. We are thinking about having another child because the population is so small. Within a few generations, our family will not have any relatives. The only one who can walk is Hong Fang's natal family. The mood of wanting a child has nothing to do with the gender of the child. Look.
We are envious of the bustling family and having brothers and sisters to help us. We always think about our daughter being alone, it’s so lonely. It’s so easy to get pregnant with one, you said this is causing a lot of trouble..."
Lin Yutong poured tea for the two of them and then asked, "How are you now? Have you dealt with it?"
"It's taken care of. There are punishments, but they won't be recorded in the files." Hong Fang rubbed her belly, "You think it's so difficult for people of our generation to live?"
The two talked about what happened in the class.
Lao Yang chatted with Fourth Master about the supply and marketing cooperative, "...I have been working in this supply and marketing cooperative for more than ten years. I never thought that the products of the supply and marketing cooperative would not be sold. But now it is really evil.
Sex. If you say it can’t be sold, it can’t be sold.”
"Pull it down." Hong Fang rolled his eyes, "You need a book to sell things, and you are not allowed to choose the dishes. The salesperson's eyes wish they could reach to the sky. Look outside, those free markets that have formed spontaneously, fresh
Not to mention, the price is fair. The people are enthusiastic and have a good attitude when doing business. I would rather spend a few more cents than look at the faces of you people."
Fourth Master nodded, "I'm afraid that when the rural land contract responsibility system is implemented, such a free market will also have to be standardized. If farmers plant two or three cents of vegetables on the ground, they probably won't be able to eat it. If they take it out and exchange it for money,
That's for sure. In your supply and marketing cooperatives, this situation will only become more and more severe, especially in the area of agricultural and sideline products."
Lao Yang nodded, "Who says it's not the case? Nowadays, daily necessities, such as soap, washing powder, toothbrushes, toothpaste, washbasins, towels, gloves, canned food, and noodles are sold normally. Vegetables and meat are completely out of stock."
Reform is something that affects the whole body.
Nowadays, when people get together, what they talk about most is reform.
When he returned to Lin's house at the weekend, Brother Lin smiled and said, "Now we are not only talking about reform, but also opening up."
Lin Yutong smiled, "Why are you talking about this?" Opening up seemed to be far away from them.
Sister-in-law Lin gave Lin Yutong a handful of green onions and asked her to peel them. She smiled and said, "It's me. One of my cousins came back. From the United States."
"Hey! This is an overseas relationship." Lin Yutong joked.
"It's said that China and the United States have established diplomatic relations. Let's come back and take a look." Sister-in-law Lin shrank her neck. "In the past, when we had overseas relations, we had to walk with our necks hunched for fear of being thrown rotten eggs when walking on the street. Now, it seems that there is no such thing.
It's so weird, but I still feel bad about it. I didn't even dare to go out for a meal there. We don't want to take advantage of it. But I don't dare to recognize my relatives abroad. He has gold and silver.
I don’t care about mountains either.”
Lin Yutong smiled, "As long as it's someone you're close to, it's okay to go and meet them. You're not that afraid of people."
Sister-in-law Lin's attitude was very firm, "I don't care about other people's money. It can't be said that I came back from abroad. I brought a lot of money and fawned over me. I can't do this anymore. My parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all
I didn’t go. All the other relatives in the other houses went. My dad also said, if you want to recognize your relatives, won’t you be able to finish the acknowledgment when you come home? The door is open, and we can afford to serve you with good wine and meat. Don’t act like you’re superior to others.
It seems that we don’t want to live with them.”
Brother Lin said, "This is the axis."
Father Lin scolded Brother Lin, "Your father-in-law did the right thing. This is the right thing to do. He will keep his waist straight all his life. We are poor, but we have backbone." After thinking about it, he didn't say that the US imperialists and Soviet revisionists were so bad.
If it is conducive to unity.
At night, the fourth master was lying on the bed. Seeing that the children were all asleep, he asked Lin Yutong to take out a world map. He looked at the map for half the night and sighed for half the night. What time did he fall asleep?
Lin Yutong didn't even know.
Lin Yutong opened his eyes the next day and saw Fourth Master looking at the ceiling, his eyes still red.
Stay up all night.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong reached out and wanted to touch his forehead.
"Tell me, Huang Ama and I did something wrong back then." The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong sadly.
This is talking about the sea ban.
Lin Yutong was silent for a long time before saying, "At the beginning, I didn't have time to change the late emperor's charter. But Honghui later changed it bit by bit, didn't he?"
The fourth master hugged Lin Yutong and sighed. The only comfort was that Honghui was slowly changing the late emperor's regulations bit by bit. Maybe it was because he, the Supreme Emperor, was still alive at that time, and there were also a group of imperial uncles around.
Therefore, he was very careful when making changes. He was afraid of causing a backlash.
"That kid, it's not easy either." Fourth Master sighed again in a low voice.
Lin Yutong burst into tears. No matter how long it took, she still cared about her child.
Fourth Master quickly shook her and coaxed her, "Here we go again. Don't cry. We can't explain things in the world. Maybe they are just like us, living well somewhere."
As the three children woke up, the topic stopped and could not be mentioned again.
But Lin Yutong was still in a low mood for several days.
The get out of class had just ended that day, and Fourth Master was waiting outside the classroom. Lin Yutong quickly took his schoolbag and pulled him away, "What's wrong?" He wouldn't have come to the classroom to pick someone up because he was so careful.
The fourth master's face looked a little ugly, "Yin Zhen's mother is here." He said in a low voice.
Han Chunxia?
He sent her money every month. Although they lived in the same city, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master never visited her because they had children who took up all their spare time.
There has been no contact in the past two years. In fact, if she wants to see her son, it is easy. As long as she inquires a little, she can find him. If it is not convenient for her to come to the door, why can't she still see him at school?
But they never showed up.
Lin Yutong had almost forgotten about this mother-in-law. Sending money every month had become a routine.
Why are you here at this time?
"Where is he?" Lin Yutong asked.
When I turned the corner, I saw the person sitting on the steps in front of my house. Who was it if it wasn't Han Chunxia?
Fourth Master is actually not good at dealing with women. No matter who this woman is?
If you are close, he will say a few words without hesitation. If you are not close, he really doesn't know what to say.
Lin Yutong greeted him first, "Why are you here at this hour? Come and sit in the room."
Fourth Master has already taken the key and opened the door.
When Han Chunxia saw her son's appearance, she frowned first and then pursed her lips.
Lin Yutong helped Han Chunxia sit down and poured tea, "Is there something wrong?"
She asked again.
Han Chunxia began to look at the house, "It was tidied up quite neatly."
Lin Yutong frowned, "How can I borrow someone else's place to live if I don't clean it up?"
"It's not easy to borrow a place like this when you're in college," Han Chunxia said with a smile.
Fourth Master frowned and said, "I just did a little favor to help those people who you think have problems. It's not easy."
Lin Yutong knew that Fourth Master would really get annoyed if Han Chunxia continued to look at her like this.
No one can stand it if they meet such a person who has to point fingers in everything. It’s inexplicable.
Neither she nor the fourth master is a good person. The fourth master can provide her with a prosperous life, but this is the end. There will be no more.
After all, your biological son is very close to you in the capital. If you really wanted to ease the relationship, what would you have done?
Can't you spare any time?
We are all parents and we really care about our children. This is not the case.
Lin Yutong always felt that this mother was a bit selfish and a bit ****. Moreover, Han Chunxia was a very controlling woman.
But is Fourth Master someone who can be manipulated?
No, it’s just a sentence, but it’s a nail in the coffin.
After all, Han Chunxia used to be a person with a very clear political stance.
Sure enough, Han Chunxia shut up as soon as Fourth Master's words came out of her mouth.
Lin Yutong didn't want to make things too ugly, so he took the initiative and said, "You haven't eaten yet. I'll do it now."
Han Chunxia didn't say anything, she acquiesced.
Lin Yutong glanced at the Fourth Master and felt that it was very difficult for him to endure it now.
She was a little irritated, but she still had to smile and said, "Don't you have enough money?" She said, glanced at Han Chunxia, and took out two tomatoes and a few eggs. Next, she made a living with noodles.
.Tomato and egg noodles, good.
Han Chunxia held the cup and glanced at Lin Yutong, "There is no shortage of money. I can't use that much money alone. Besides, I have retirement salary."
Lin Yutong was confused, what does it mean to be alone?
"You need to use less oil. You are too poor at living. How can this be done?" Han Chunxia suddenly said, startling Lin Yutong.
She was about to stir-fry the dumplings, but was so frightened by the sound that she almost threw the oil pot away.
The fourth master hurried over, stroked Lin Yutong's back, and then looked at Han Chunxia, "This is how we live our lives. If you have anything to say, we have the final say on how we live our lives." (. )
