Chapter 171
Lin Sanjun is resting in the dormitory. Compared with two years ago, he has grown taller and is much darker. Because he is usually taciturn and has a cold temperament, he looks like the cold soldier brother written in later generations.
“Lin Sanjun, your package has arrived.” The guard at the guard pulled a cart and shouted under their window. It’s New Year’s Eve, because the soldiers didn’t walk outside, so everyone’s packages were delivered downstairs by the guards standing guard.
As soon as Lin Sanjun heard the package, he ran downstairs immediately. He only wore a thin short-sleeved training suit and faced the cold wind, but he didn’t feel cold at all, his heart was warm.
Xiaobing: “Lin Sanjun, you have a lot of packages.” Two packages a year are not many, but compared with other soldiers, it is a lot. And every time his package is heavy and bigger.
Lin Sanjun usually doesn’t like to laugh, but at Xiaobing, he couldn’t help but smile: “My sister sent it to me.” Looking at the address of the package and the handwriting on the slip, he knew it was his sister. When they were at home, their brothers got along very well, but his eldest brother wouldn’t think of sending him things, and **** men didn’t think so much. So the only one who will send him things is the eldest sister. Thinking of this, Lin Sanjun immediately ran back to the bedroom with the package.
Xiao Bing looked at his windy Bu Dai with only envy in his eyes. In the past two years, every time Lin Sanjun’s package was sent by his sister, there is a sister who cares about him, which is really enviable.
As soon as Lin Sanjun entered the package, the roommates inside said, “Sanjun, what good things have your sister sent you?” , and even milk powder, all to replenish Lin Sanjun’s body. If they didn’t know that Lin Sanjun’s family was also in the countryside, they would have thought that Lin Sanjun was the child of some rich family. However, rich people will not be willing to let their children join the army. Although it is honorable to be a soldier, and a soldier is also respected, it is hard work and good conditions.
These days, many who come to serve in the army are from poor families who cannot help themselves.
Lin Sanjun opened the package, and as before, he read the letter first. The letter contained his sister’s long-winded concern and greetings. He looked at it, and his eyes were a little red. At the end of the letter, there is a small handprint, which belongs to the little nephew. According to his sister’s description, he imagined that his little nephew must be as beautiful and lovely as his sister. After reading the letter, Lin Sanjun packed the letter and folded it upright, as if he was holding a sacred ceremony. The roommates looked at it and shook their heads helplessly, but in addition to their helplessness, they were more envious. People like them who are away from home and can’t go home once in a few years, don’t they miss their family the most?
After packing the letter and putting it away, Lin Sanjun began to unpack the package. This package is really big, much bigger than usual packages. Before opening it, Lin Sanjun didn’t know what was inside, but after opening it, he knew. The first thing he took out was a navy blue sweater. Lin Sanjun made a gesture. The size was just right. He will be tomorrow. Before his sister asked him about his height and weight in the letter, he began to think that his sister was I was worried that he wasn’t eating well, so I asked him about his height and weight. Now it doesn’t seem to be the case. I want to buy clothes. Except for the wool sweater, there is also a set of light gray cotton sweater and cotton wool pants. The wool sweater has a low neck and is suitable for men. Comrades, the low collar is more convenient. Then, there is a pair of Jiefang shoes. In the end, Lin Sanjun was so embarrassed that his sister even bought him panties. This was also prepared for Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun when Lin Yiyi bought it for Xiao Yu. Lin Dajun was prepared by his daughter-in-law Lin Zhen, but Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun were not prepared. It was not good for the eldest sister-in-law to prepare underwear for her uncle, so she could only prepare it by her eldest sister.
Lin Yiyi didn’t feel anything, and Lin Sijun was used to it. Anyway, the **** prepared by his sister could last for two years. But Lin Sanjun is 19 years old after the new year, and he is a little shy.
In fact, underwear and underwear are all issued by the army, but Lin Sanjun is still happy to receive greetings from the elder sister from the inside out. This made him feel that he was still a child and had an unusual position in his sister’s heart, and he liked to be cared by her like this.
As soon as he took out his underwear, the roommates joked: “Sanjun, your sister is too good, right?”
“That’s right, this is the best sister in the world.”
“From panties, clothes, sweaters to shoes, I wish I had such a good sister.”
“Does your sister raise you as a son?”
Lin Sanjun: “My parents died early. My elder sister raised our brothers.” In his heart, he was raised by the elder elder sister. Although they also went to work, raised pigs, etc., all this was given by the elder sister. Yes, so it is no different from the one raised by my sister.
The rest is to eat, jerky, dried shrimp, two cans of bean paste, a can of crab in sauce, some biscuits, toffee, canned fruit and the like.
“Sanjun, what does your sister do, why are you willing to buy so many things?”
Lin Sanjun: “My sister is very good. She only took one year of junior high school and one year of high school. After graduating from high school, she was recruited as the assistant to the president of Gongdu.”
“Wow, it’s really amazing, this is a grade jump.”
“Your sister’s grades are good, right? No, no, she’s very smart.”
The eldest sister’s grades are naturally good. His sister is good in everything. She is beautiful, has a gentle personality, cooks delicious food, and does a very good job. The main reason is that the eldest sister is very kind and kind to other people. Love their brothers. In Lin Sanjun’s mind, his eldest sister is the best, the kind that can’t be shown with a magnifying glass.
In fact, among several brothers, Lin Yiyi is the most important in Lin Sanjun’s heart. If something happened to Lin Yiyi, Lin Sanjun would probably go all out, even violating morality. The other younger brothers, whether it is Lin Dajun or Lin Sijun, probably won’t.
Speaking of which, this is also because there is a part of the darkness in Lin Sanjun’s heart, which comes from the darkness that has been neglected by his family since he was a child. Although he is now a soldier, it is because he wants to listen to his sister’s words and be a promising and useful person to the country. If there is no sister, the sunshine in Lin Sanjun’s heart will be gone, and it will become darker and darker. Lin Sanjun gave each person a few biscuits and a few candies. This is what his sister ordered in the letter. Although Lin Sanjun was reluctant, he was always obedient.
After dividing the food, he locked the food in the cabinet again, and then took the underwear to wash. My sister said that the newly bought **** have to be washed before they can be worn. He has to wash them and dry them quickly, because although he can’t go home for the New Year this year, he wants to wear a new suit for the New Year, so that it is like being at home.
Lin Sanjun is usually very economical and is one of the most economical soldiers in the army. He is usually reluctant to spend money himself, but he is willing to buy things for his sister.
Datang Production Brigade
On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Xiao Zi finally came back. When he got home around 8 o’clock, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Shiyi were still having breakfast with soy milk fritters.
Xiao Yu came in silently, and when he reached the door of the kitchen, Lin Yiyi found out and was shocked: “You…you scared people to death.”
Jin-Woo: “A surprise for you.”
Little Eleven: “Dad… eat fried dough sticks.” He said, he gave Xiao Zi the fried dough sticks in his hand.
Xiao Yu went over, opened his mouth and took a bite, swallowed it in twos and threes, and said to Lin Yiyi, “I haven’t eaten breakfast, do you have any?” While speaking, he walked to the stove.
It’s just… Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, the stove was cold, and there was no sign of overheating.
But Jin Yu didn’t think much about it, he wasn’t a god, how could he think that the stove didn’t turn on, and there was something wrong with his wife’s breakfast?
Lin Yiyi responded quickly: “There was no fire at home, I went to town to buy breakfast, and someone I knew secretly made fried dough sticks and soy milk, and only sold them to acquaintances, and said again: “I’ll go buy another one. , you wait for me. “
Jin-Woo: “No, just eat whatever you want.”
Lin Yiyi: “It takes time to make whatever you want. When it’s done, I’ll almost buy it back. Look at my son, I’m leaving.” After saying that, she put the bowl in the basket, and then rode the bike quickly. gone. To be honest, Lin Yiyi’s heart was still pounding, he knew that Jin Yu was a careful person, and he was afraid that he would find out the problem. You must know that when he is here, she cooks in a proper manner and is not greedy for convenience.
Jin Yu shook his head with a smile, and said to his son, “Your mother is like a child. You have to take care of her and protect her when you grow up.”
Little Eleven: “I will take care of them.”
Lin Yiyi counted the time. It took about an hour from their house to the town, so at nine o’clock, she came back: “I’m back, can you wait?”
Xiao Zi: “It’s a little bit, I didn’t eat because I was in a hurry to come back today.” Mainly because I was so happy thinking about going home, so happy I didn’t even eat breakfast.
Lin Yiyi opened the basket, took out a large bowl of bean curd, five fried dough sticks, and one rice ball. The fried dough sticks are spare, and rice **** are Xiao Yu’s staple food: “You eat this, this is called rice ball, it tastes good.” The rice **** include fried dough sticks, mustard, and poached eggs.
Jin Yu: “The people in the town are really brave, and they are not afraid of being caught.”
Lin Yiyi: “They don’t take money, they take things and exchange things for things. No one said. But they also do it in private, and they are very careful. I only go there once in a while. Just drink the tofu brain, I will be careful.”
Jin Yu: “This tofu brain tastes really good.” No wonder his wife wants to eat it.
Lin Yiyi: “No, it’s delicious, right? By the way, the previous Second Army has been here….” She repeated the story of Lin Second Army, “I thought, if he does his duty, we will When relatives move around, if he makes some small gestures, then we don’t need to be polite.”
Jin Yu has never cared about this kind of thing, he listens to what his wife says. As for the affairs of his daughter-in-law’s family, he never interfered, and his daughter-in-law can do whatever she wants.
But: “I’ll go to the cattle shed of the Shanglin Production Brigade later to prepare something for the people over there.”
Lin Yiyi thought for a while: “Okay, why don’t you go in the afternoon, I’ll make some dishes in the afternoon, you can bring them over, they can have a good dinner in the evening, after all, it’s also a New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Jin Yu: “Alright, you think carefully.”
Lin Yiyi said: “How can you think carefully.”
Little Eleven: “Dad, let’s play football together.” Little Eleven had eaten a long time ago, and he was waiting for Xiao Zi at the door with the football in his arms.
Jin-Woo: “Have you bought a football?”
Lin Yiyi: “That’s right, Xiao Wu took the first place in the exam, and I promised him to buy him a football. How do you know that on the day you bought it, your son won’t let go of the football, so you can only buy him another one. This kid is very stingy.”
Little Eleven laughed, and couldn’t understand what the **** was saying.
Xiao Yu picked up his son after a good meal and said, “Let’s go dig bamboo shoots in the mountains, and come back and play football again. Your stomach will hurt when you play football after you’ve finished eating.”
Little Eleven: “My stomach hurts, and there are small bugs in it.” Because people of this era don’t pay attention to hygiene, some people will grow roundworms in their stomachs. Little Eleven only knows that small bugs will grow in stomach pains, but they are actually roundworms. .
The father and son came to the door and met Xiao Ji who came to play with Xiao Shi, so there was another follower behind Jin Yu. When it was almost noon, Jin Yu came back with his two children, still carrying half a sack of bamboo shoots.
Lin Yiyi: “Bamboo bamboo shoots are delicious, but if you have meat, everyone would rather make braised pork.” Otherwise, bamboo shoots have an indescribable taste.
At noon, Lin Yiyi made pork ribs and roasted radishes, and made a big pot full of them. There were a lot of pork ribs in the pot, but when eating, only one bowl was served. After eating a good meal, Lin Yiyi put the pork ribs into a can of milk powder, a total of two cans. I also prepared about 20 steamed buns: “Just take these over there, what do you think?” The radishes in winter are very filling, and there are spare ribs, which are more convenient than others.
Jin-Woo: “Okay, then I’ll go back.”
Lin Yiyi: “Hey, but be careful.”
Xiao Yu: “Well, don’t worry.” In their 30s, not many people would wander around outside. However, in order not to attract attention, Jin Woo walked with a sack and a hoe, and took the mountain road, from the mountain of the Datang production brigade to the mountain of the Shanglin production brigade, in the eyes of others, he was digging bamboo shoots. Digging bamboo shoots is not a matter of speculation. No one will care if you dig a few and eat them yourself. After all, when there is a famine, you can’t even find bamboo shoots in the mountains.
Jin-Woo walked for an hour and a half to the mountain of the Shanglin Production Brigade, and then found the bullpen. Because of the smell, the cowshed is the closest to the mountain, and there is no one next to the cowshed.
Jin-Woo walked to the bullpen and saw four people basking in the sun.
Seeing Xiao Yu, Li Shengzhong, Yang Chengguo, Zhang Xi, and Li Qiuhui were also taken aback, because they were not from the Shanglin production team, but a stranger. As “bad guys” they are especially cautious with strangers.
However, Li Shengzhong narrowed his eyes. This young man had a dash of vigor in him. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, his stance was too familiar to him. This man had been a soldier.
