Chapter 10
Lin Yiyi said again: “Dajun, after your sister gets married, you will take care of the family affairs, and you will also take care of the public and middle school. The bride price of your sister’s marriage includes food, money, and wedding candy, which are all up to you. After all, you Now you are the head of the family, tell your sister, can you manage this family?”
Lin Dajun originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that the food, money and wedding candy were also handed over to him, he couldn’t say anything if he refused. He immediately said, “Don’t worry, sister, I will definitely do it.”
Lin Yiyi smiled comfortingly at Lin Dajun: “Sister believes in you.”
Lin Dajun looked at Lin Yiyi, his heart was a little subtle, his sister actually believed him so.
Lin Erjun clenched his fists and was very unhappy. Why should the food, money and wedding candy be handed over to the elder brother? Is it because the eldest brother is the eldest brother? But how can big brother have his own wisdom? What he said in the past, the elder brother listened. But he can’t refute, one is the eldest brother and the other is the eldest sister, what can he say?
Lin Yiyi said again: “Dajun, since you said that you can manage the family well and be able to afford this family, then now you bring your brothers to clean the house first, and then fill the tank with water. Tomorrow, the Xiao family will have it. Come and get hired, our family is not in a situation like this.”
Lin Dajun just promised to be able to afford this house, but of course he can’t refuse now, so he said, “Don’t worry, big sister, I’ll go now.” Lin Sanjun was only 12 years old, and he always followed his brother. Lin Sijun was only 10 years old. They had no opinion, so Lin Dajun wanted to take them to work, and they followed.
Lin Yiyi said: “Second Army stays, my sister has something to tell you.”
Lin Erjun stayed, but his face was a little bad. He lowered his head and looked at his toes.
Lin Yiyi said, “Second Army, my sister wants to discuss something with you.”
Lin Erjun hummed.
Who is this arguing with?
Lin Yiyi didn’t care, she leaned on the bed and continued softly: “Er Jun, you and Da Jun were the same year, although Da Jun Zhan was born early and became the eldest brother, but my sister knows that you are smarter than him. It’s just that Da Jun is the eldest brother. In terms of identity, after my sister gets married, he is the head of the family, so food, money, and wedding candy can only be managed by him. However, my sister hopes that you can help Dajun and remember every money Dajun spends. If he does something wrong, you can remind him that you are brothers and you have to supervise and help each other.”
Lin Erjun snorted.
Lin Yiyi continued: “In some families, the eldest son can’t afford to be the face, and the second son and the third son take advantage of it, and even the rights of the housekeeper are given to the second son and the third son, but our family can’t do this, our family must be united and friendly.”
Lin Erjun’s ears moved. The eldest son is not the same as the family. Some people value the second son and the third son. If the eldest son makes a mistake, will he not be able to be in charge?
Lin Yiyi sighed: “It’s all my fault that my sister is not in good health after selling blood. Staying at home is a waste of food at home. If you marry someone earlier, you can change some food to help you. Otherwise, I really don’t want to get married, sister. I miss you.”
Lin Erjun thought again, yes, although he wants to keep his sister at home, he can wash and cook for them, but if her sister doesn’t get married, they will have no food and no money.
Lin Yiyi: “Second Army, you can also help your eldest brother to clean up and carry water together.”
Lin Erjun followed.
After Lin Erjun went out, Lin Yi slid down on the head of the bed and lay on the bed. She looked at the roof and really didn’t understand that she was sleeping well at home, why did she cross here? It’s not scientific. As written in the novel, anyone who traveled through must have died in a car accident or died of illness, but she didn’t account for either. She was still sleeping at home a moment ago, and her body is also checked every year, and she is healthy, so she is a good-looking and living person, why did she pass through?
Lin Yiyi turned her head and looked at Lin Wudi, who was sleeping beside her. The two-year-old child was thin and had a concave face. The small body was shrunk together, tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes. Lin Yiyi reached out and touched Lin Wudi’s face, what should she do with this child?
In the original plot, the fifth brother Lin was given away. The one who adopted the fifth brother was a good family, so that the fifth brother Lin was brought up very well, so he was able to take Da Ya for the elderly at the end of the plot.
But now she’s here, and she’s getting married. If she got married, and gave Lin Fifth Brother away, it wouldn’t sound good to say it. Daya gave Lin Wudi away because she had no family and could not live at home. Moreover, fifth brother Lin was so good, she was reluctant to give him away.
Lin Yiyi has no opinion on marrying Jin Yu. In this era, she still has the Lin family’s group of dragging oil bottles, letting her go to work? There is no job available now. Let her go all over the mountains to find food, she doesn’t even know wild vegetables. So if you can’t support yourself, getting married is the best choice, and getting married can get rid of the Lin family. So when Qin Xiangju mentioned it, she knew the answer without thinking.
Besides, she is very greedy for the tall and handsome Jin Woo. When she first saw the poster, she thought that this man was handsome. Now, when she travels to the play or book, she meets the deity, and he is also a deity who has a little bit of mindfulness. She thinks that Jin Woo is more attractive than the one in the poster.
Men can be filial, but not foolish. Men can’t really care too much with women, but they can’t watch their daughter-in-law be bullied. When Jin Woo said that he personally added 10 yuan as a dowry to get 16 yuan for auspiciousness, she felt that this man was really caring.
When Lin Yiyi was in deep thought, Lin Dajun came: “Eldest sister, the water tank is full, and the hygiene of the house has been cleaned.”
Lin Yiyi came back to her senses: “Thank you Dajun, with you in the army, the eldest sister is also relieved a lot, and she always feels that she has something to rely on. Sure enough, the old saying is right, a woman must have many brothers from her mother’s family, so that her waist can be straight. “
Although Lin Dajun is selfish, he is still happy when he is praised by the elder sister like this. When people are happy, there will be fewer dark thoughts. So at this moment, he couldn’t help saying: “Don’t worry, big sister, after you marry Brother Yu, if he dares to bully you, I will bring my younger brothers to the door to support you.”
Lin Yiyi chuckled: “The big sister is waiting for you.”
Lin Dajun: “Just wait.”
Lin Yiyi said, “Dajun, now eldest sister has something to do for you.”
Lin Dajun had just received Lin Yiyi’s good words, and he was hanging by the public servant in charge. He said very much: “Is there anything you want me to help with, eldest sister? Just say it.”
Lin Yiyi: “Tomorrow, the Xiao family will come to the house for employment. My sister wants to take a bath today, but… but my sister is broke from selling blood. Can you help my sister to boil hot water?”
Boiling hot water is a simple matter. There are no children in the countryside who can’t do it. Lin Dajun said, “Yes.”
The Lin family didn’t have an iron pot, and the iron had been handed in a long time ago. At the beginning, there was a large group of canteens to eat big pot rice, and the iron pot was handed in. Later, the big pot rice was disbanded, and Father Lin found a few clay pots and set them up. Several small stoves, put the sand pot on it as a pot. Not only the Lin family, but also many families in the Shanglin production team use sand pots like this. Speaking of this sand pot, I still exchange the grain with the sand pot factory in the town. Oh, before liberation, this was a sand pot factory, and later it became a clothing factory, but there are still a lot of teapots, and some people exchanged grains for them, and the people in the factory would take them out, and the Lin family only exchanged two.
Lin Dajun boiled hot water twice, a total of four sand pots, equivalent to three thermos of water, mixed with cold water, and Lin Yiyi took a pleasant bath.
After taking a shower, the brothers of the Lin family were sitting in the yard. Everyone couldn’t sleep, but they couldn’t move and exhaust their energy, so they could only sit. Seeing them, Lin Yiyi said: “Dajun, you go to the captain’s house with me, I have something to talk to the captain.”
Lin Dajun: “Eldest sister, what are you going to talk about with the captain?”
Lin Yiyi: “Tomorrow, the Xiao family will be hired. There is no adult in the family. I am going to invite the captain and his wife to be a witness. By the way, I also say hello to the captain. I’m about to get married. Please take care of you. Otherwise…otherwise I really don’t worry about you, I…I don’t want to get married anymore, even if there is no food, at least our family is together.” After speaking, she choked up again.
Lin Dajun: “Don’t worry, eldest sister, I will take care of this family.”
Lin Erjun: “Don’t worry, big sister, we will take care of ourselves.”
The brothers of the Lin family are now most afraid that the eldest sister will not get married, and they will not be able to get the dowry food.
Under their comfort, Lin Yiyi finally smiled again: “Then Dajun, let me go to the captain’s house, Erjun, take care of your brothers at home.”
Lin Erjun: “I will also go. Although I am not the eldest brother, I am also very worried about the marriage of the eldest sister. Sister, let me go. There are many people. If there is a problem, there will be one more person to discuss.” Yes, the eldest brother is in charge of the family. He is worried that the eldest brother only thinks about himself, and he does not trust the eldest brother.
Lin Yiyi said: “That’s fine. After all, you are the same size as the army. The army can be the leader, and so can you. With one more person, we will have more strength. Let’s go.”
Lin Dajun’s heart is tight, eldest sister will not let the second army be in charge, right? No, this family must be handled by him, the food must be handled by him, and the money and wedding candy must also be handled by him.
Lin Yiyi took Lin Dajun and Lin Erjun to the captain’s house.
The captain’s family has already gone to bed, but not in the house, but outside. It is a custom of the people here. In summer, everyone will sleep outside with mats, called enjoying the shade, because it is too hot in the house, so it is cool to sleep outside. But all the men were sleeping, even if they were sleeping, they were all wearing clothes and trousers.
So when Lin Yiyi came, the captain slept on the mat outside the house like this, and the son of the captain’s family slept together. But it wasn’t time to go to bed yet. Although everyone fell asleep, they didn’t. Seeing someone coming, he got up immediately.
