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

There are four children in the family who are very lively, the noisy Little Eleven, the gentle auspicious, the sensible Lin Wujun, and the quiet Li Wangda. Especially Li Wanda, because no one here knows him, nor does he know about the miscarriage that he bumped into the teacher, so there is no need to worry that everyone will think he is a bad boy. No longer tense, the whole person looks a lot more energetic. I have to say that changing the environment is good for Li Wanda.

Lin Yiyi’s women’s bicycle is on the island, which is convenient for her to ride when she goes to the village to buy dried seafood, so there are no bicycles in the countryside, so she can only rent the bullock cart from the brigade. The bullock carts of the brigade are all in the bullpen during the slack farming season, and they are rented to the county town once. If the carts are full, 2 cents per person is enough. 2 cents.

Lin Yiyi naturally didn’t care about the two cents, so she rented a car to go to the county seat. However, Master Niu Cart went around the brigade and asked if anyone else went to the county seat. The people of this era are very simple and kind.

Not to mention, there are really people when the bullock master shouts. No, there were several educated youths, two of whom were acquainted with Lin Yiyi, one was Yu Zhiqing, whom she had rescued, and the other was Zhang Zhiqing, who had a conflict with Yu Zhiqing. However, although the two got on the bullock cart one after the other, they could see at a glance that their relationship was not good. Also, no matter what the truth of the drowning incident was at that time, it would be amazing if they could reconcile. This is a matter of human life.

The two naturally saw Lin Yiyi, Zhang Zhiqing: “Hello Comrade Lin, did Comrade Lin just come back? I haven’t seen you before.”

Yu Zhiqing didn’t say hello. As soon as she saw Lin Yiyi, she remembered what happened that day, and asked Lin Yiyi to help her with a certificate, but she still refused. When Lin Yiyi returned the gift, she also met this man named Zhang, and she still returned to her. Answers to any questions, but Lin Yiyi said that she did not see Zhang Zhiqing push herself, and because of this, she was once suspected of lying. In this regard, she felt that Lin Yiyi did it on purpose.

Naturally, Lin Yiyi would not rush to say hello to Yu Zhiqing. Seeing that the eyes are not eyes, do you owe her something? She said to Zhang Zhiqing: “Yes, I just came back from the army this morning. No, I will be back after the New Year. Are you going to the county to buy something?”

Zhang Zhiqing: “Send a letter to my family. I originally had to wait until the weekend. I didn’t expect to have a car today, so I went today. If it’s the trading day, it’s New Year’s Day, and there must be a lot of stuff on that day.”

Lin Yiyi: “There were indeed a lot of things that day, all of which were prepared for New Year’s goods. It can be said that it was the most lively time of the year.”

Zhang Zhiqing: “We don’t have this trading day in the city. When I first saw it, I thought it was quite novel.”

Lin Yiyi: “There are supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in the city, and there are many places to buy things, but there are few materials in the countryside, so the trading day helped everyone a lot.”

Zhang Zhiqing nodded and agreed that this trading day had many benefits.

The two were unfamiliar with each other, and they stopped talking after the trading day. The bullock cart became quiet, and everyone sat in silence until the county seat.

As soon as Lin Yiyi arrived at the county seat, she first went to see the house. When she saw someone in the house, she was surprised, and then she understood when she saw that it was Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen also saw Lin Yiyi and said in surprise, “Big sister is back?”

Lin Yiyi: “I just came back today. I haven’t gone to the Shanglin Production Brigade to see you, but it’s the same here. You’re about to give birth. It’s safe to live in the county town. The old hutong is also very close to the hospital. There are some places in a woman’s life that can’t be settled, especially when it comes to giving birth to a child.”

When Lin Zhen heard Lin Yiyi’s concern, she was naturally happy: “Don’t worry, eldest sister, I know. This time I lived in the county seat, and my mother came with me, but after the New Year, she went home and replaced my cousin. Come, my cousin is going to do the laundry.”

Lin Yiyi: “You need someone to take care of you. You, a pregnant woman, must pay attention to safety.”

Lin Zhen and the others lived here, and they didn’t move Lin Yiyi’s room. When they came to live in someone else’s house, it was a bit outrageous to sleep in the master’s room, so Lin Zhen and her cousin slept in the guest room, and Lin Dajun slept in the bed in the kitchen. When the weekend comes, Lin Zhen’s cousin will go home, and Lin Dajun will take care of Lin Zhen.

Lin Yiyi sat here for a while without seeing her cousin Lin Zhen. She saw that it was almost time and left.

After leaving, she went to the department store. At this time, there was no sporting goods category in the department store, so Lin Yiyi found a football in the toy category, and it was still an imported toy, which was really high.

Fortunately, in this era, there are football teams in the country, and even football clubs in some cities. Although ordinary people can’t play football, it is an existence recognized by the country, so children playing football will not be affected by this turbulent era.

It is a pity that there are currently no football production factories in China, and imported footballs are not cheap.

After buying the football, Lin Yiyi went shopping again, remembering that Jin Yu’s watch was broken, and she was going to give him another watch.

“Hello comrade, what watch do you want to buy?” The salesperson’s attitude was very good. After all, with a fair complexion like Lin Yiyi, no one would treat her as a poor man.

Lin Yiyi: “Hello, I want a men’s watch.”

Salesperson: “Men’s watches are here. Do you want domestic or imported watches?”

Lin Yiyi: “I’ll take a look first.”

Salesperson: “Then take a look.”

Looking at the men’s watches on the counter, Lin Yiyi liked a Rolex. Between domestic and imported ones, she was used to buying imported ones. In modern times, she is rich herself, her family is rich, and modern people are accustomed to pursuing brands when they buy things. In this era, Lin Yiyi feels that imported watches are really cheap, and imported things are very valuable, such as watches, Chanel and LV’s used series, etc., so when conditions permit, she naturally chooses used ones.

It’s just that imported things need foreign exchange rolls, and Lin Yiyi doesn’t have them: “Hello, comrade, I want this male Rolex watch, but I don’t have foreign exchange rolls. I don’t know if you have them. I can exchange other rolls with you. , such as meat stamps, food stamps, etc.”

Salesperson: “…” She was dizzy. It was the first time she had seen this exchange for a ticket in a department store. However, they have a bonus for selling this imported stuff. So, she leaned into Lin Yiyi’s ear and said, “I have a foreign exchange roll, 50 yuan a piece, do you want it?” It is normal for a salesperson to have this kind of roll. She has imported watches at the counter, and some people’s foreign exchange rolls are useless, so She will come to see her. The salesperson is already proficient in doing this kind of thing. In addition to the foreign exchange roll, she also has a watch roll in her hand.

Lin Yiyi’s eyes lit up: “How many do you have?”

Salesperson: “…Three.” She has kept three foreign exchange rolls for a year, mainly because no one in this small county buys imported watches. In fact, it is a domestic watch, and few people buy it.

Lin Yiyi: “I want to buy three watches, two Rolex men’s watches, just these two, one Omega women’s watch, this one, I’ll get the money, you can bill it.” One for my son , Although the son has not grown up, but it should be preserved.

As we all know, Rolex is the most collectible of all watches. Of course, Lin Yiyi doesn’t understand watches, so she just wants to have fun.

Salesperson: “…” When Lin Yiyi went to withdraw money, she still felt unreliable in her dream, but half an hour later, Lin Yiyi came back.

When she got the watch, Lin Yiyi first went to change the Omega’s watch strap, and then put it on. The watch that Jin Yu gave her was wiped clean and carefully treasured. This is the first one that Xiao Yu gave her. The gift, when she is old and dead, will accompany her and be buried in the grave.

Then, Lin Yiyi went to buy some odds and ends, and then went to the gate of the county town. Yu Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing were already there on the bullock cart.

They looked at Lin Yiyi’s heavy backpack and were really curious about what was inside.

Lin Yiyi got on the ox cart: “Uncle, I’ve made you wait for a long time.”

Master Bull Carriage: “What are you waiting for, I didn’t wait, we agreed on this point.” It was only three o’clock.

Yu Zhiqing pouted, indeed making them wait for a long time.

At about four o’clock, the ox cart arrived at the gate of the village, and Lin Yiyi saw that her children were all waiting at the gate of the village.

Lin Wujun: “Come, sister is here.”

Little Eleven ran up: “One by one…”

Lin Yiyi jumped out of the ox cart and hurriedly caught her son who was running back. It was really unsteady for him to run, and she was worried that he would fall. “You stand up, Mommy take the basket down.”

Little Eleven: “Okay.”

When Lin Yiyi took off the back basket and put it on the ground, Little Eleven clapped her hands and stepped forward to hug the back basket.

Lin Yiyi: “What are you doing?”

Little Eleven: “Help me get them one by one.”

Lin Yiyi: “…Well then, take it, come on on the eleventh.”

Little Eleven: “Yeah.” However, the oil might not be enough, and he couldn’t carry the basket. Little Eleven glanced at his mother, and seeing that his mother didn’t move, he looked at Lin Wujun, “Little uncle moved.”

Lin Wujun squatted down and carried the basket on his back: “It’s heavy. Sister, what did you buy?” His back couldn’t stand up.

Lin Yiyi saw his pitiful appearance, so she took the backpack and took it off him. Although she was not strong, she was older than a child of Lin Wujun. Lin Yiyi: “I bought you a soda.”

Lin Wujun: “Wow…” He licked his dry lips. The taste of soda is really special, and it is too attractive to children.

Li Wanda: “Soda? What is it?” He never drank it.

Lin Wujun: “It’s delicious, you’ll know after drinking it. It’s the best thing to drink.”

Li Wanda: “Better than milk powder?”

Lin Wujun: “It’s better than milk powder, better than apples and grapes. It’s the best drink. But I haven’t had it for a long time.” The last time I drank it was half a year ago, when I ate shrimp. Thinking of this, Lin Wujun immediately flattered, “Sister, you are so nice, you are the best sister.”

Lin Yiyi: “Your flattery is very slippery.”

Lin Wujun: “No, I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, ask Little Eleven. Eleven, is your mother the best?”

Little Eleven: “Yes, one by one is the best.”

Auspicious: “Second Auntie is the best.”

Li Wanda thought for a while, and said, “Auntie is the best.”

Lin Yiyi: “…” This series of followers.

As soon as he got home, Lin Wujun couldn’t wait to look at the back basket, but he didn’t do anything and still waited for Lin Yiyi. Lin Yiyi knew that the child was anxious to see it, so she stopped teasing them. She took out the things in the basket.

Lin Wujun picked up a bottle of soda and showed it to Li Wanda: “Look, this is soda, but it’s delicious.” Then he asked Lin Yiyi, “Sister, do we drink soda at night?”

Lin Yiyi: “Okay, but you can only drink two bottles. The four of you drink it together.” This kind of small bottle of Arctic Ocean soda is just a small bowl. The four children drink it together, and each person can only drink half a bottle.

However, even if he could only drink half a bottle, Lin Wujun was happy.

Lin Yiyi took out other things, and the bottom one was a brand new football: “Here it is for you.” She put it into Lin Wujun’s arms, “Congratulations to our little five for winning the first place in the test.”

Lin Wujun was holding the football, his eyes were red. However, he immediately ran out and shouted outside again: “Everyone, come and play.” The voice was still a little hoarse.

The children ran out one by one, and Little Eleven was no exception.

Lin Yiyi said: “Close the door of the yard, or the football will be kicked outside.”

Lin Wujun: “Hey.”

The yard of Lin Yiyi’s house is quite large, and there are no fragile or fallible things in the yard, so the children can have a good time with the door closed.

The kids don’t know how to play football, and they don’t know anything about shooting goals, so they play the simplest game, a football kicking around, but that’s what makes them a lot of fun. Before they threw the cloth ball around, but the fun of football is beyond the cloth ball. The football is light and can be played far, which stimulates the enthusiasm of the children. Even Xiao Shi, who was only three years old in Xusui, also kicked with sweat all over his head, and a few dull hairs stuck to his forehead. His face was red, but his eyes were shining like the afterglow of the sun, not hot, but very beautiful.

Lin Yiyi boiled the winter melon and shrimp skin pork ribs soup, so that the children who had sweated in these afternoons could replenish water, and after frying a few vegetables, she went to ask them to eat.

However, when it was time to eat, Xiao Shi refused to let go of the football: “Mine.” He took a fancy to the football and refused to give it to Lin Wujun.

Lin Wujun naturally likes football, and he likes it very much, but Xiao Shi is his nephew, and he was raised by his sister, so he is willing to give whatever Xiao Shi wants.

Lin Yiyi squatted down and looked at the child: “This is my uncle. My uncle won the first place in the exam, and my mother rewarded him.”

Little Eleven: “My uncle gave it to me.”

Lin Wujun: “…Well, here it is for you.”

Lin Yiyi said: “But this one is old, you see, it’s dirty here.” The black and white football was dirty after playing for a while, “Do you want a new one?”

Little Eleven’s eyes rolled: “New?”

Lin Yiyi: “Yes, new, clean, no one else kicked it, do you want it?”

Little Eleven: “I want it.”

Lin Yiyi: “Then you also do one thing. If you do well, your mother will reward you, and reward you like a little uncle, okay?”

Little Eleven: “Okay.”

Lin Yiyi: “If you eat by yourself later, eat clean, and then wash the dishes, Mom will reward you with a new ball tomorrow.”

Little Eleven: “Really?”

Lin Yiyi: “Really.”

Little Eleven: “Okay.”

Lin Yiyi: “Then you give this ball to my uncle, otherwise the new ball will be given to my uncle tomorrow.”

Little Eleven immediately gave the football to Lin Wujun. Although he is small, he can still distinguish the old from the new. Of course, the old is not as good as the new.

Lin Wujun picked up the football: “If Little Eleven still plays later, tell my uncle, and my uncle will take you to play.”

Little Eleven: “Okay.”

After dinner, Xiao Bin came and brought some food and vegetables. My son likes to eat here, and the second sister-in-law didn’t dislike it, but they were very clear, and the relationship was maintained. Although children eat Not much, the second sister-in-law doesn’t care about these things, but they can’t just take advantage.

Xiao Bin put things down: “Second sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law is confinement, and I have to go to work again. I will trouble you to take care of the child these few days.”

During this time, when Liang was confinement, Qin Xiangju took more care of her. After all, Xiao Bin had to go to work, and sometimes Grandma Xiao could help.

Lin Yiyi was also not polite, and left something behind: “Where is this, Jixiang is very good, and he can play with his brother.”

Hearing the second aunt praised herself, Jixiang looked at his father proudly, and her eyes were very arrogant. No, Xiao Bin couldn’t help laughing when he saw it. But his son is good with the second room, and he is very happy.

After dinner, Little Eleven forgot about washing the dishes, but Lin Yiyi didn’t forget, he was going to buy a football for his son in the system mall too. He thought he bought two today and hid one, otherwise he will wait until tomorrow for his son. Definitely fight the football with the little five.

Little Eleven put down the bowl to go out to play, but was stopped by Lin Yiyi: “Do you still want a new ball?”

Little Eleven heard it, and said crisply: “I want it.”

Lin Yiyi: “Then you promised mother that you have to wash the dishes when you have a good meal.”

Xiao Eleven was stunned for a while, and immediately picked up his small rice bowl: “Wash the dishes.”

Lin Wujun: “Little Eleven, little uncle will help you.” After speaking, he took his bowl as well.

Then, Li Wanda and Jixiang also took their own bowls and turned into four children washing dishes together. Carrying water, they wash dishes in the yard with their butts up. In the era when there is no detergent, they can soak them in warm water, and they can still be washed clean.

After they wash the dishes, they will be checked by Lin Yiyi one by one. Lin Yiyi said: “It was really clean and passed the test.”

Little Eleven: “Little Ball.”

Lin Yiyi: “Okay, you wait. Mom will get it.” She entered the room, and Xiao Shi wanted to follow, but she was locked out.

Little Eleven knocked on the door outside: “One by one, open the door… One by one, open the door…” He still didn’t understand why he was closing the door.

Lin Yiyi immediately opened the door, and after opening the door, she held a brand new football and handed it to Xiao Shi: “Here.” Then she gave Li Wangda and Jixiang two pieces of white rabbit toffee, “Wanda and Jixiang are also very good today. Great, do the dishes yourself, you’re all good kids.”

Although Li Wanda was a lively and cheerful child before Lin Le’s miscarriage incident, he had never been praised like this. His mother, Bei Shi, was a straightforward person, and would not use such a gentle attitude to praise children. In other words, people in this era basically lacked affirmation of children. At this moment, Li Wanda, who was praised by Lin Yiyi, felt different. In addition, since this semester, he has been affected by Lin Le’s miscarriage and has been blaming himself, so it is very important that someone praise him now. Being affirmed shows that he is not a bad boy.

The children went out happily, and Little Eleven was reluctant to put down the football.

Lin Yiyi returned to the kitchen with a smile and began to clear the table. When she cleaned up the kitchen, the hot water was boiling, and she wanted to ask the children to wipe their bodies and feet, but found that the children were all gone.

Lin Yiyi: “Eleven… Little Five…” Lin Yiyi went out of the yard.

Neighbor: “I saw the children go to your husband’s old house.”

Lin Yiyi: “Thank you Auntie.” She followed to the old house.

In the old house, the elders were eating, and Xiao Shi stood in the main room, holding a football and showing off: “I will be rewarded one by one, I will eat by myself and wash the dishes by myself.”

Qin Xiangju: “Little Eleven is really amazing, really my good grandson, he can wash dishes at such a young age. When your dad was so young, let alone washing dishes, he wouldn’t even be able to eat rice.”

Xiao Daqiang: “…” Is it really okay for the old woman to smear the second child like this? “

Little Eleven: “Dad is stupid, Eleven knows how to eat.”

Qin Xiangju: “No, your father is stupid.”

Little Eleven giggled: “Can you play?” He pointed to his ball.

Qin Xiangju: “No, do you want to teach grandma on Eleven?”

Little Eleven: “Kick with your feet.”

Qin Xiangju: “Then shall we play together later?”

Little Eleven: “Okay.”

When Lin Yiyi arrived, Little Eleven was playing football, Grandpa Xiao accompanied him, and the other children sat. Little Eleven has little strength. He kicks and rolls the ball a few times.

Lin Yiyi: “If you don’t pay attention, the child will disappear.”

Grandma Xiao: “Have you finished your meal?”

Lin Yiyi: “Eat it, go back to take a bath with them.”

Grandma Xiao: “Soak your feet before going to bed in winter, so that your feet can be warmer when you sleep.”

Lin Yiyi: “Isn’t it?”

After sitting in the old house for a while, Lin Yiyi took the children back.

the next day

Lin Wujun tidied up his clothes and took Li Wangda to the Shanglin Production Brigade. Lin Dajun works in a pig farm, and Lin Zhen wants to raise tires. Lin Sijun takes care of the pigs and chickens of the Lin family alone. It can be said that it is really time for Lin Wujun to come back.

Lin Wujun and Li Wanda went for breakfast, carrying a basket with steamed buns and dumplings. Back at Lin’s house, Lin Wujun saw that the door was open: “Fourth brother…” He shouted as soon as he got to the door.

Lin Sijun was cutting hogweed, and when he heard Lin Wujun’s voice, he thought he had heard it wrong. He didn’t know that Lin Yiyi and the others had come back. It wasn’t until Lin Wujun walked into the yard that he opened his eyes in surprise: “Little Wu, you are back.”

Lin Wujun: “I came back yesterday. Fourth brother, Wanda is here too. Come to our house for the New Year.”
