989. Long years (6) three in one(1/3)
Long years (6)
Mrs. Cai was full of runny noses and tears. What could Lin Yutong say? She felt very uncomfortable.
This grandmother is pretty good at it.
Based on their age, these children were born during the most difficult period of the economy. The adults couldn't even eat a morsel of whole grains. You can imagine how difficult it is to raise children without milk. As for those without children, since
If you adopt and adopt only that one, you will definitely be able to keep it alive no matter what.
So in that case, leaving the child with the adoptive parents is the most correct choice, which at least leaves a way for the child to survive.
This kind of thing was really not uncommon at that time. Families with adults in their 30s and 40s would often send their children away, and many had no choice but to send their children away. After two years, the conditions got better, and who were relatives?
The children at home cannot be fed, but some are brought to their knees and fed. They also take the matter of the children recognizing their parents relatively lightly.
Mrs. Cai wanted to hold Lin Yutong's hand but was too embarrassed to hold it, "...this child is blessed to follow my elder sister..." People are good to our children, and we have to know that.
The little old lady sighed and sent Lin Yutong out, "Cook some poached eggs for your grandma."
Mrs. Cai quickly said no, "My child has to go to work. Go and get busy..."
Lin Yutong smiled and said there was no rush, then walked out of the room and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen is next to the main room, so she can roughly understand what is said inside.
I heard Old Mrs. Qi say: "...I was listening in a daze a few years ago. My old sister had a dispute with the Lin family..."
Mrs. Cai followed up with a "poof" and then cursed: "You have lost your conscience."
"Then Lin Jiacheng...has really lost his conscience." Mrs. Cai's voice was filled with tears, and Lin Yutong said in her heart that this Lin Jiacheng is probably the biological father of the original person.
Sure enough, I heard Granny Cai's voice coming intermittently: "... Yingzi was suddenly found when he was eight years old. He insisted on taking Yingzi back, no matter what, I guessed at the time that there must be nothing good going on...
...Isn’t it nothing? The one he married later also had three children. The first born was a daughter, and the second and third children were boys. As a result, I don’t know whether it was an evil act or something, but his eldest son became pregnant.
A fever, no one is stupid, but his legs are lame and he suffers from polio... At that time, his eldest daughter by his later wife was only six years old, his eldest son was three years old, and the youngest was just half a year old. He had
However, the wife he later married did not have a salary, so he still had to farm at home, work in the fields, and take care of the children..."
Lin Yutong said in her heart that six-year-old children are not very sensible yet. Three-year-olds are just the age when they have gained a foothold and are about to run around. It will definitely be more difficult to carry a child with lame legs. There is also a half-year-old who has to be held in his arms.
.If a man goes to work and goes to the county town for ten and a half days without coming back, a woman with three children will definitely be exhausted, and she may not even be able to eat hot food in her mouth.
The little old lady naturally understood this and answered, "Are you asking your eldest granddaughter to go back to take care of their children?"
"Isn't that good?" Mrs. Cai clapped her hands together, with a hint of anger, "Who else could he go to? His father died early, and his mother was so happy that she died of laughter on the morning of his engagement to my daughter. At home,
Without the help of the elders, this child must not be looked after... I was really reluctant to let it go at the time, but Lin Jiacheng came to my house and said it very nicely. The child's household registration and food rations were all in his name.
There is no reason for the child to be left with his mother-in-law. After all, he is working outside. When the child grows up in the future, if you find a job for the child outside or ask the child to take over, you must have something to say to block the family.
Now that wife's mouth... I thought about it at the time, and that's right! After all, digging for food in the soil at home is not as good as outside. At least you can get a mouthful of food without having to work hard. If so, then he is a father.
It’s not too bad. If you ask the children to go back and raise their younger siblings, then the stepmother will be nothing and she won’t have anything to say in the future..."
"But who would have thought?" Mrs. Cai took out her handkerchief and wiped her nose again, "How cruel is this person's heart? Yingzi is only eight years old, has three children, and has to cook for her. What's the result? No.
I was careful to cause the lame one to fall, and the stepmother saw her. She knelt outside with the urinal in her hands all night long in the middle of winter... You don't know, sister, what happened to the child.
Sin... When I went to see him, the good boy was so worn that he was just skin and bones. His father also said that I had too many things to do... Why didn't he look at the baby and the thick cotton-padded jacket I wore?
The new cotton in his pants was all emptied out by his later wife for the children. The three of his family wore thick and solid ones, and only Yingzi had frostbite on his thighs... Later I took the children back.
... Yingzi's rations are not from our brigade, they are all at Lin Jiacheng's place... He withholds rations every year and refuses to give them to the child, forcing me to send the child back... Even if I take the child to beg for food, I will not call him
After receiving that training... that is, in the past five or six years, my life has become a little better than before. In addition, the news about this matter is not good outside, so I am willing to ask someone to send me rations..."
That is to say, Lin Yuying actually had some interactions with her biological father. But they had some unpleasant moments.
Lin Yutong opened the lid of the pot, cracked two eggs in, and gently turned it around with a spoon, thinking in her heart, if she recognized her sister, could her biological father not recognize her?
I'm afraid they will still come to my door.
Mrs. Cai also said the same thing, "If someone comes to you and you want to admit it or not, it's up to my elder sister to make the decision. The children are grown up, and there are a lot of things that need money in this wedding. The father is not in vain, he should be
When asked to take money, just ask for it, that's what he should do..."
The little old lady doesn't care about the money.
He just asked: "What's wrong with the old girl? Is your eldest granddaughter looking for a new wife or marrying her..."
This is where Mrs. Cai finds it difficult.
"Originally I thought about asking for a bride." Mrs. Cai sighed, "Mainly because I fell in love with the second oldest member of the Jin family. My family in Kangping Village is like this. This old sister should know what the situation is like... I married later.
. If my old son was still there, then we would have roots in that village. But that child is not... without my son, these three girls in my family will have no relationship with them at all...
"
Most people in a village live together in groups, and they are either blood relatives or relatives by marriage. People with foreign surnames are easily bullied.
For example, the work assigned is the hardest and most tiring, and the food assigned is the worst amount and may be defective. Not to mention that life is tight, people care about three melons and two dates, but they don’t care about things.
But I can't stand this mentality. I have been treated unfairly for a long time. Is it aggrieved to live a life of humiliation?
"I have been able to take Yingzi to live in that village for so many years. In the final analysis, I am still guarding that damn ghost. It is the courtyard where I live now. Let's see. If the person who recruits a wife in the future is not a capable man, I am afraid that the courtyard
I can't even keep it. Not to mention other things, that dead ghost has more than a dozen nephews. The children in those families also want to get married, and there are not just one or two staring at the yard. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
I'm thinking of raising a child nearby. Wouldn't it be better to find someone from out of town... Aren't you afraid that outsiders will be more difficult to manipulate here and let others bully you?" After saying that, she paused and said, "The one from the Jin family.
The second child... he is very popular outside, he is from our village, and many young men are familiar with him... He is not the kind of person who likes to hang around... But just a little bit, I am not very happy to recruit... We understand this
, where can I find capable people who are willing to recruit?"
"First of all, it's difficult for the children to get a foothold in that village..." Mrs. Cai said with hesitation, "Then the second eldest child of the Jin family is not particularly willing... The third is the coincidence between the two sisters... The fourth is that my little daughter lives in South Street.
... If it doesn't work out, I'll marry Yingzi over, and I won't stay at Lao Zhao's house at all... I'll live with my little girl... They just had a baby over there, and there are no parents-in-law to take care of them, so they originally asked me to come over.
It's... it's quite convenient..."
The little old lady nodded along, "Young lady, you're right to think so..." I didn't use the granddaughter left by my ex-husband to continue the incestuous relationship with the future husband. It was really a marriage. Look, you can kill people for the sake of that shabby yard.
Beat the dog into a head.
Lin Yutong went in with the eggs and handed them to Mrs. Cai. Then she looked at the little old lady in embarrassment, saying that it was time for her to go to work.
The little old lady dismissed Lin Yutong, "This has nothing to do with you juniors, go ahead and do your business."
Granny Cai also said, "Go ahead. It's all the fault of the elders."
I can’t say it’s a sin, but what can I do if I catch up with this era?
Lin Yutong's mood did not have much ups and downs for the sister who was definitely going to be more and the family who was probably going to be more. When he left the house, there was no one in the alley. Even the fourth master was not there, he had gone to the ground.
When the wheat is ripe, everyone goes to the fields to harvest it. There are many times to be lazy throughout the year, which definitely does not include the time of sowing and rushing to harvest. Today should have been a market day, but because of the busy farming, it has become light.
When they arrived at the entrance of the animal husbandry station, Qian Cuicui had already moved the desk from the office and placed it at the entrance of the animal husbandry station, and also put the two chairs in place. Today is a market day, and it is also a day for convenience services.
Lin Yutong went to the concierge again and asked Lao Yutou to bring the stools from his room and put them on the other side of the table. Even if a fellow villager did come, there would still be a place to sit.
Qian Cuicui's face turned red, "Sister Tong, if you need anything, just ask me to run errands."
This girl seems to think that as long as she keeps working, she can prove her worth and prove that she is not getting paid in vain. So when she is assigned to work, not only does she not get annoyed, but she is always very grateful.
What could Lin Yutong say? He could only look at the tasks assigned to her.
I thought there would be no one here today as the farming was busy. But it turned out to be really busy. They were all bringing the pigs at home.
While helping with the treatment, Lin Yutong explained to Qian Cuicui, "...Symptoms like this, even if they are poisoned...it must be that the leaves and vines of sweet potatoes are often used when feeding pigs recently..." Sprouted sweet potatoes are inherently poisonous.
Yes, people also eat sweet potato leaves and sweet potato vines, but they are always pinched and tender, and they do not use the old vines near the roots of the sweet potatoes. Besides, eating them is different from eating them with pigs. How can they be so selective?
Be careful, take it a little bit a day, and as time goes by, you will have symptoms of poisoning. "...use laxatives to defecate first..." As long as you take it out, most of the symptoms will be cured.
Qian Cuicui responded while busy, and all the medicine Station Master Qiao got from the county was put to use.
Now that the door is busy, Stationmaster Qiao is even more happy. He even specially invited a photographer from the photo studio to take photos. He also showed off his skills in the photos. For example, he helped fellow villagers carry pigs.
For example, patting fellow villagers on the shoulders and talking to relatives. Even other people at the station were also neatly dressed and posing for people to take pictures. One person poured water for the fellow villagers, and the other one carried the kettle.
The words "serving the people" are vividly expressed in the photos.
Lin Yutong didn't fight or compete and actively cooperated. His colleagues didn't say anything, but they felt in their hearts that the little girl was quite capable.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the unit became very harmonious.
Which village is now said to be a production team? If there is something wrong with the livestock raised by the production team, as soon as someone comes to ask for it, stationmaster Qiao also waved his hand and asked Lin Yutong to take someone over. He also had the savvy to get it.
A name is called 'Mobile Service Team'.
Lin Yutong is the captain, and there are only two people under his command. One is Qian Cuicui, and the other is a young man named Liu Zhuang.
In the words of stationmaster Qiao, he was worried about two older girls going out, so he had to arrange for a guard.
He has been in a good mood recently. The captains of various production teams went to the commune to praise the livestock station, and he felt that he had face when he came out to talk and do things. He had face, and he seemed to know how to take care of the face of the following people.
Don’t think that joining the production team is just a back-breaking job. People drive big animals to pick them up, or drive tractors to pick them up. After you finish working for others, you have to arrange meals, which must be at least four dishes, and the staple food must be
It's fine grain. This doesn't include the vegetables, dried tofu, etc. that were given to me when I came back. These are all things that can be kept privately without having to hand them over to work.
The people in the production team below wanted to be familiar with each other, so that they could talk to him if he was needed for anything. Therefore, they were very smart. Instead of sending people back to the work unit, they asked where their home was and brought their things back to the work unit.
It doesn't look good. It's most economical to send it home secretly. First it's Liu Zhuang's family, then Qian Cuicui's family, and finally Lin Yutong's family.
To be continued...
