Chapter 16
Lin Dajun: “Sister, this is given by Dr. Lin.”
Dr. Lin is a kind person, even if Lin Yiyi gave a piece of meat only one or two, he would not take it for free, so he gave two catties of sweet potatoes. If this is a good time, meat is of course more expensive than sweet potatoes, but now it is different, one or two meat is not enough, and two catties of sweet potatoes can be eaten for several meals.
Lin Yiyi said: “Go and put it away, you use a kitchen knife to dry it with the Second Army, we will finish picking the black thread of this shrimp today, then cook it all, peel the shell and dry it, and it can be stored as food, we won’t finish it today. , It’s so hot now, and it will be broken tomorrow.”
Lin Dajun: “Hey.” As for food, Lin Dajun knew that it was in short supply, so he would not hesitate.
The family works in the kitchen. If it is done in the yard, it is guaranteed that no one will see it. When the whole village is dispatched tomorrow, the lobster will be lost. These days, whoever has food is hidden. Eat it yourself, don’t tell others.
“Da Ya… Da Ya…” A voice came from the door.
Lin Sijun took Lin Wudi to play in the yard, and also called, “Sister, Aunt Guilan is here.”
Yang Guilan is from the county town. She married here on a second marriage. She gave birth to a daughter before, but she was rejected by her husband’s family. She also got a divorce from her ex-husband because she was hurt while giving birth to her daughter. She was introduced by someone and married here. A man named Lin Dafu. Lin Dafu’s wife died, he was a widower, and he had a son, but the son was still young. Even if Yang Guilan County gets married for the second time, she will not marry a widower here. The reason why she is willing to marry Lin Dafu is because Lin Dafu has a son, so she does not need to have a son; secondly, because Lin Dafu is a sincere person; It’s because the rural people are honest, and if the Lin Dafu family dares to treat her badly, she doesn’t have to be afraid of them. However, Yang Guilan is a good person. In the original plot, the fifth brother Lin gave him away, which was introduced by Yang Guilan.
Now that Lin Sijun said that Yang Guilan was here, Lin Yiyi understood a little. She got up, poured out a bowl of cold boiled water from the big bowl, and held it to the main room. It happened that Yang Guilan also arrived at the entrance of the main room: “Da Ya, have you eaten dinner?”
Lin Yiyi said, “My aunt drank water, but I haven’t eaten yet. Today I brought my younger brothers to find something to eat, and I just came back.”
Yang Guilan sighed, looking at Lin Yiyi with pity. She and Lin Niang have a good relationship. Lin Niang gave birth to five sons, who wouldn’t be envious? Now that Mother Lin and Father Lin are gone, what will happen to these children? But even if I feel pity, it is only sympathy in my heart, who is not short of food these days? It is also impossible for her to give out food to the Lin family.
Yang Guilan took a sip of cold boiled water and said, “Da Ya, my aunt won’t forgive you anymore, so I will tell you directly, your parents are gone, and you are having a hard time with your younger brothers. There is no food in the team now. , there is no food at home, and I don’t know how many years it will be, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?” Everyone in the village knew that the Lin family died of starvation, so Yang Guilan also knew that the Lin family had no food.
Lin Yiyi lowered her head, and after a while, she said in a weak voice: “I…I don’t know, I…I went to sell blood yesterday, and I want to sell blood to support my brother so that my brother can study, I sold blood for 30 yuan, but my health was so bad, I was groggy all the way back from the county seat, and even lost the money, I didn’t know what to do, I met Xiao Yu when I was looking for money Brother, fortunately, I met Brother Xiao Yu, who is my fiancé, otherwise I might have fainted outside… If it wasn’t for the Xiao family to come to hire…” Lin Yiyi’s words had several meanings. One is that she sold blood to raise her younger brother. The word of this spread would definitely be good for her reputation. The second is that the money is lost, indicating that she did not swallow the money. The third is that the food they eat now is hired by the Xiao family. When she gets married, she will leave the bride price, wedding candy and bride price. The more these things spread, the better her reputation will be. In this day and age, fame is very important.
Yang Guilan was surprised when she heard this, but she never thought that Da Ya would sell blood to support her younger brother. She sighed, this girl is good, but unfortunately she has no parents. Yang Guilan made a draft in her mind, and then said, “But, ah, how much blood does a person have? Can you still sell blood for a lifetime? Even if the money from selling blood can pay for tuition, what about food?”
Lin Yiyi shook her head: “I can’t sell blood anymore. My body was injured because of this blood sale. I can’t sell blood in the future, and I can’t go to work. Whether I can sell blood next year, I still need to check, I… I don’t either. I know what to do.” After speaking, Lin Yiyi covered her mouth and lowered her head. She couldn’t cry, so she could only bow her head, “I… I’ve run out of dowry food, what should I do in the future?”
Yang Guilan said: “So, my aunt came to see you today. When your mother was alive, she had a good relationship with my aunt. My aunt has a distant relative in the county town. They want a son. The distant relative’s family is good. With their son, reading and food are not a problem. If it was a normal family, my aunt would not ask, but your family is different, the adults are gone, you are in difficulty, and you have many sons, don’t you think?”
Lin Yiyi did not speak.
Yang Guilan added: “Of course, this child has been following, not buying and selling, we are well-behaved people and don’t buy or sell children, but your Lin family has a child, so my distant relative is willing to give you a red envelope of 200 , This red envelope is the red envelope for the elder to see the younger, and it has no other meaning.”
Lin Yiyi knew that this was actually the money for selling children, but it was a nice thing to say. In the original plot, Daya didn’t receive a red envelope because she didn’t want to sell her brother.
Yang Guilan continued: “Auntie is not someone who has no conscience. The family you introduced to your brother must be good. Da Ya, what do you think?” Even if Lin Yiyi is only 15 years old now, Yang Guilan can only ask She, after all, she is the eldest sister of the family.
Lin Yiyi said: “If, if the younger brother gave it to them, would they really let the younger brother study? Will the younger brother be fed? Can the younger brother eat meat sometimes?”
Yang Guilan: “I can definitely give them reading and food. Although I can’t guarantee that I will eat meat for every meal, there is definitely some occasional meal.”
Lin Yiyi: “Will you give your brother new clothes?”
Yang Guilan sighed, this big girl is really a good sister: “Of course there is no problem.”
Lin Yiyi: “I want the 200 red envelope, but I don’t accept the money myself. I’ll bring it to my brother. It’s just…that’s…”
Yang Guilan: “Da Ya is really a good sister. However, there are conditions over there. If your brother is there, you can’t contact him anymore, so you should cut off your relationship with him. Otherwise, when they raise their children, Your brother recognizes you again, aren’t they raising white-eyed wolves? Do you think so?”
Lin Yiyi: “Auntie, did they say which brother they want?”
Yang Guilan: “They want your fifth brother.” Since they want to adopt a child, of course they want the youngest.
Lin Yiyi: “I…I think about it.”
Yang Guilan: “Then you think about it tonight, and I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”
Lin Yiyi: “I’m not at home tomorrow, I’ll be there tomorrow night.”
Yang Guilan: “Then I’ll come to you tomorrow night.”
Lin Yiyi: “Hey, good.”
After Yang Guilan left, Lin Yiyi thought about it, she was very contradictory about whether to keep fifth brother Lin or give him away. If the fifth brother Lin is given away, we can know from the plot that the adoptive parents over there will definitely treat him very well. But there is nothing about Lin Wudi’s childhood in the plot. Lin Wudi’s appearance is very short, only when he was two years old, and when he was old. She was given away when she was two years old, and her elder sister was picked up when she was old. Among them, no one knows what his life is like. I’m afraid the author didn’t think about it when he wrote this novel.
Even if the author described it, Brother Lin’s life was a happy one, but… he was sent away when he was so young, and he didn’t have any familiar brothers and sisters. At the beginning, was he really okay?
What’s more, the author didn’t write it.
Furthermore, no one can make decisions for others in the name of being good for you. Lin Daya had no choice but to give him away for the sake of Fifth Brother Lin, but… Who asked Fifth Brother Lin if he was willing or not?
Giving you away for your own good is like many parents who make decisions for their children in the name of their own good. However, Lin Yiyi did not refuse, because she was hesitant.
Lin Dajun: “Sister?”
Lin Erjun: “Sister, do you want to send the fifth brother away?”
In their opinion, not only Lin Dajun and Lin Erjun, but also Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun felt that it was okay to give away the younger brother. The younger brother could not do any work. It would be great to be able to feed him and give him meat.
Lin Yiyi: “I want to think about it, let’s cook these shrimps first.”
Lin Yiyi took a few lobsters and put them in the sand pot. The two bowls of steamed eggs in the sand pot had already been taken out, and then Lin Yiyi put ginger, green onions and salt.
When the lobsters were good, Lin Yiyi greeted them to eat: “There are six people in our family, three people have a bowl of boiled eggs, I, the third army and the younger brother will make a bowl, and the army, the second army and the fourth army will have a bowl. Assignment, I assign it here, do you have any opinions?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Lin Yiyi asked for half a bowl of boiled eggs by herself, and in the remaining half bowl, two-thirds of the three soldiers and one-third of Lin Wudi, because Lin Wudi was small, didn’t eat much. When it was time to divide, Lin Yiyi said, “Sanjun, my sister sold too much blood yesterday, and my body needs to be replenished, so my sister ate half a bowl.”
Lin Sanjun: “Yes.”
The older ones eat more, as has always been the case in the family. When the parents were there, the parents, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the older sister also ate more. Lin Sanjun had no other idea.
When Lin Dajun saw Lin Yiyi divide like this, he followed suit. But Lin Erjun disagreed: “Brother, I’m doing the same job as you today, you can’t give me such a small share, you give me another spoonful.” Two-thirds of the bowl, Lin Sijun is the remaining third.
