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

Lin Sanjun became a police officer at the town police station, and Ying Shuang became a doctor in the Shanglin Production Brigade. The couple were very famous in the Shanglin Production Brigade. After all, in this era, police and doctors are very remarkable professions, especially one is a soldier who has changed jobs, and the other is a child of a martyr.

Lin Dajun is a worker, Zhang Xiaojun has gone to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, Lin Sanjun is a policeman, and Lin Sijun is a newly married man who is currently unemployed. However, Lin Sijun and Jiang Xiaotu are not in a hurry. Lin Sijun has raised pigs for 10 years, and the money for selling meat tickets plus eggs is more than 200 yuan. Jiang Xiaotu is the daughter of the battalion commander, and his parents also care about it. Hers, so she also has a box bottom of a hundred yuan, so the couple also have the confidence not to worry.

Lin Sijun is a carefree man. He doesn’t know how to save or manage money, so after getting married, he gave the money to Jiang Xiaotu. Jiang Xiaotu has a gentle personality. She has helped Jiang with housework and caring for her younger siblings since she was a child. She is very suitable for housekeeping.

Jiang Xiaotu filled the meal and brought it to Lin Sijun: “I caught a lot of prawns today.”

Lin Sijun: “During the famine, our family had no food. We used this shrimp as food, and then we used the shrimp to exchange for coarse grains. This was discovered by my elder sister.”

Jiang Xiaotu: “Eldest sister is really smart.”

Lin Sijun: “Of course, it’s my eldest sister. I’ll go to the county town in two days to see if any factories are hiring.”

Jiang Xiaotu: “September will be in two days. It will be hot in August. Go back to September after August.” She said softly and looked at Lin Sijun with a shallow smile. ” Not enough, I’m not going.”

Lin Sijun: “Ah? You don’t want to be a worker?” They got married in early July, and it will be two months in a few days.

Jiang Xiaotu smiled and shook her head: “No. I…” She smiled and touched her belly, “I’m pregnant.”

Pfft… Lin Sijun spit out the food in his mouth: “So soon?” No way, they just got married, how could they be pregnant? I think that the elder brother and elder sister-in-law were married for a year and they were not pregnant. The third brother and the third sister-in-law have been married for almost a year, and they are not pregnant. Why is he so fast?

By the way, his sister and brother-in-law were married for several years before they became pregnant, why did he… so fast?

Jiang Xiaotu thought it was funny: “It’s not too soon. You are 22 years old, and everyone already has children at the age of 22. Do you like children?”

Lin Sijun: “…” This question is a bit difficult to answer, he really doesn’t like children very much. Because there are too many children at home, Lin Wujun brought them all before he was 2 years old, or before Lin Yiyi crossed. After the child of the elder brother’s family was born, he really did not dare to be interested in the child. Moreover, he felt that he was still young. But looking at his daughter-in-law’s smile, he knew that he couldn’t answer like this, “I like it.”

Jiang Xiaotu: “I like it too. Although I have taken care of my younger brothers and sisters before, but unlike my own children, I am looking forward to the birth of our children.” She is a meticulous person and also observes people. When he married Lin Sijun, he knew his character. She likes Lin Sijun’s sunshine and cheerfulness, and also likes Lin Sijun’s unburdened family. The Lin family has no elders, and the family has been separated, so it is good for lesbians to marry into such a family. “Sijun, we have a baby. You have to work hard. I won’t be able to work in the next few years. I will be needed for pregnancy, childbirth, and childbirth, so you are a husband and father of future children. Come on.”

Lin Sijun is a person who is soft and not hard. It is useless to pester Lin Sijun like Lin Xiu. He can’t stand gentle tactics the most. Jiang Xiaotu told him like this, he had motivation in his heart, even if the child came suddenly, he was not ready, but he was married after all, and of course he wanted to work harder for his daughter-in-law and children. Take care of.

“Don’t follow me, my brother is going to play football.” Early in the morning, Xiao Shi stood at the gate of the yard, looking at the little kid behind him.

Little Nineteen wore a small hat because it was still very hot at the end of August, and Lin Yiyi gave him a sunscreen to prevent him from sunstroke. He was also wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, army green trousers, and a pair of small cloth shoes. Then add a small liberation bag. Just like Little Eleven back then, in this gray age, it is rare to be a delicate little boy.

Little Nineteen was born in April of 1971. It is now the end of August of 1972. It is almost 17 months. The two brothers actually look alike, especially the eyes, which are big, with double eyelids and very long eyelashes. These eyes are characteristic of the Lin family, and the children of the Lin family have very good-looking eyes.

Little Nineteen looked at Eleven as I went: “Brother…playing…” It means that he also wants to play together.

Little Eleven: “Don’t.” This follower brother always likes to follow him, “You go home and play with your mother. My brother is going to play football. You can’t go.” He said and ran.

Little Nineteen: “Brother…” Seeing that his brother ran away, he also ran after him. But the child’s foot strength was unstable, and after running a few steps, he fell to the ground, “Brother… it hurts…” He lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Shi’s back with tears in his eyes.

Little Eleven stopped and looked back to see Little Nineteen lying on the ground, shouting in his mouth, “Brother…it hurts…Brother…”

Little Eleven: “You’re so stupid.” He ran back again, helped Little Nine up, patted the dust off his body, rolled up his pants again, and saw that his knees were a little red, but no The skin was broken, he squatted down and blew, and then spit out saliva and smeared on Xiao Jiujin’s reddened knees, “Does it still hurt?”

Little Nineteen shook his head and smiled through tears: “It doesn’t hurt, brother, I’ll play too.”

Little Eleven sighed: “Okay, but you can’t make trouble, you can only sit and watch, understand?”

Little Nineteen: “Understood.”

Little Eleven took him to play football.

Lin Yiyi stood aside, watched them walk away, and shook her head with a smile. Wujun is in junior high school and has a lot of schoolwork, so he doesn’t play with Little Eleven very much. Now, Little Eleven goes to play football by himself. But just like when Little Eleven played with Lin Wujun back then, now Little Nineteen is playing with Little Eleven.

As for Little Eleven, who is still in elementary school, Lin Yiyi is more indulgent. During the holidays, she does not force Little Eleven to study. But Lin Wujun is different. He is already in junior high school. Lin Yiyi personally thinks that elementary school can be relaxed, but junior high school is an important time to lay a foundation for learning, so she values ​​Lin Wujun’s studies more, that is, during the summer vacation, every morning She will let Lin Wujun review and preview, and in the afternoon, she will let Lin Wujun rest. It is equivalent to studying for half a day and resting for half a day, which is much easier than studying.

Regarding the strict management of his sister, Lin Wujun did not resist rebellion like ordinary junior high school students. First of all, Lin Yiyi did not let him study all day. In addition to studying, his sister also gave him time to play. Secondly, he was used to listening to his sister’s arrangements, and her sister would not harm him. In the end, he also loves to learn, which is also the most important. If he doesn’t like it, and is forced by others, he will not be able to learn.

Little Eleven brought Little Nineteen to the playground of the Family Courtyard, where several children were waiting for him.

Puppy: “Eleven, why did you come? Did you bring him?”

Little Eleven: “Didn’t I come here? My brother wants to come, but I can’t help it.” Little Eleven said, found under a tree, and said to Little Nineteen, “You sit here and watch your brother play. Ball, can’t go anywhere else, you know?”

Little Nineteen nodded, sat obediently under the tree, and then took out a handful of melon seeds from the liberation bag, and he began to eat the melon seeds. This kind of melon seeds are pumpkin seeds, and the shell will soften when it touches water, so there is no need to worry that the shell will get stuck in the throat of Little Nineteen. If it was a sunflower seed, the shell would be too sharp and too hard, and Lin Yiyi would be worried that Little Nineteen would get stuck in his throat.

Xiao Shi was relieved to see that his younger brother was very obedient and obedient. He continued to play football with everyone. While playing football, he looked at his younger brother, and when he saw his younger brother sitting peacefully, he concentrated on playing football again. When his younger brother was born, he hoped to be a younger sister. Now that he is so good, he thinks that his younger brother is also pretty good. That’s right, this little brother can cry too much.

Spit up… Little Nineteen spit out the shell of the pumpkin seeds, and then nibbled at the kernels of the seeds inside. He was sitting on the ground, his calves pressed against the ground, shaking and looking uncomfortable. Although it is summer and the weather is hot, it is not that hot because it is morning. Little Nineteen nibbled the melon seeds and sang, “La la la… la la la…”

After an hour, Little Eleven came back with the football: “Nineteen, go home.” He was sweating, and took Little Nine to go home.

Lin Yiyi watched her two sons come back: “You guys are back, are you having fun?”

Little Nineteen: “Happy.” The corner of his mouth was still reading melon seed shells.

Lin Yiyi took out the towel and washed his face: “Nineteen, what did you play with your brother?”

Little Nineteen thought for a while: “Well… my brother plays football, I… I eat melon seeds…”

Little Eleven: “He is sitting under the tree enjoying the shade and eating sunflower seeds. He can’t play football yet. If he goes to play football, it won’t be him playing football, but the ball will kick him.”

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Little Nineteen: “The ball kicks me.”

At the beginning of September, Lin Wujun and Little Eleven started school. That day, Little Nineteen played ball in front of the house. When he saw someone coming to their door, he asked in a small milk voice, “Who are you looking for?”

Lin Yiyi heard someone outside, ran out to see, and saw that it was Lin Sijun. Lin Yiyi: “Fourth Army, why are you here? Come and sit down, have you eaten yet?” Then, poured him a bowl of mung bean soup. The mung bean soup is boiled in the morning, put in cold water, and ready to drink when everyone comes back at noon.

Lin Sijun drank a bowl of mung bean soup in one breath: “I have eaten it, and I will announce the good news to the eldest sister and mother-in-law. The little rabbit is pregnant. I will bring you something by the way.” The lobster he caught these two days. In addition to lobster, he also brought eggs and fresh meat, because these things are rare in the army, but vegetables, which can be exchanged at villagers’ homes.

Lin Yiyi was taken aback: “So fast?”

Lin Sijun laughed, and was a little embarrassed: “I also feel that it is very fast, and I don’t know how I got pregnant.”

These words… left Lin Yiyi speechless.

Lin Sijun: “Sister, I’ll send things to my mother-in-law’s house first.”

Lin Yiyi: “Well, let’s go.”

Lin Sijun sent half of the things to Jiang’s side.

Jiang’s side was preparing lunch, and was washing things when he saw Lin Sijun coming: “Sijun, why are you here?” Jiang’s is one of many ordinary mothers-in-law, the kind of mother-in-law who sees her son-in-law, and the more she looks, the more satisfied they are The kind of mother-in-law, so when she saw Lin Sijun coming, she was very enthusiastic.

Lin Sijun: “Mother, the little rabbit is pregnant. Let me tell you, and I brought you some shrimps, eggs and some meat.” The shrimps were fished by themselves, and the eggs were produced by their own old hens. , Meat is the meat ticket exchanged for the task pigs raised by myself. These things actually have no capital, but eggs and meat are also money.

Jiang’s: “Little Rabbit is pregnant? That’s great. And you’re real, you’re here, why are you sending so many things?” Although she said that, the smile on Jiang’s mouth was concealed. He couldn’t stop, “You can have lunch at our house. It happens that there are shrimps today, and they are still fresh.” The shrimps were bought by Jiang’s in the village in the morning.

Lin Sijun: “Okay.”

Jiang Shi was very happy today. Since Jiang Xiaotu and Lin Sijun got married, she hadn’t seen them. Although she was assured of her daughter, she couldn’t help but think more about it. The news came as a surprise to her. What is Jiang’s most worried about after her daughter gets married? Of course, it’s her daughter’s fertility problem. Now that her daughter is pregnant, she feels more at ease.

After Lin Sijun had eaten his lunch, he returned to Lin Yiyi’s house. He also carried some things in his hand, which were given by Jiang’s, including rich and strong powder, fine rice, and some dry goods. Jiang’s family can’t accept the son-in-law’s things, and he doesn’t mean it at all. Isn’t this the family’s family that fights the autumn wind? She doesn’t do it. Besides, my daughter is pregnant, haven’t these fine grains entered my daughter’s stomach? So she was more willing to give.

In the evening, when Lin Sijun had dinner at Lin Yiyi’s house, Jiang’s came again: “Sijun…”

Lin Yiyi joked: “Fourth Army, your mother-in-law is here.”

Lin Sijun: “Mother…”

Jiang Shi: “Sister Yiyi, don’t make fun of me. It’s not that I went to the village in the afternoon and bought two fish to bring to him when the Fourth Army leaves tomorrow. They live in the village and rarely get seafood. , I happened to have fish again this time.” Jiang went up to the village to change the shrimp, but he didn’t change the fish in the morning, so he went to change the fish specially in the afternoon.

Lin Sijun: “Mother, no need, you can keep it for yourselves, there is no shortage of food in our village.”

Jiang Shi: “You can take what the elders gave you, or I won’t want the things you bring in the future.”

Lin Yiyi: “This is a piece of your mother-in-law’s heart, so don’t refuse.” Therefore, it is really important to choose what kind of in-laws. Whether it is Jiang’s family or the chief’s family, they are all good relatives, not to mention the Ying family.

Jiang Shi did not leave immediately after giving the fish, but asked about Lin Sijun’s work: “Sijun, are you still at home recently?”

Lin Sijun: “Yes, the weather has been hot in the past two months, and I just got married, so I plan to look for a job in early September.” Lin Sijun is not in a hurry to find a job, he has savings.

Jiang didn’t mean to force his son-in-law to find a job, but asked, “Then what kind of job are you looking for? Are there many factories that recruit workers now?”

Lin Sijun: “I don’t know either. I want to find a job that I like. I don’t like working on a pig farm like my eldest brother. I have raised pigs at home for ten years, so I don’t want to work on a pig farm.”

Lin Yiyi doesn’t care what kind of job he’s looking for. Anyway, it’s 72 years old, and he will resume the college entrance examination in 1977. By then, Lin Sijun and his wife should both take the college entrance examination, so the current job is for Lin Sijun. , but it is excessive. However, the mind can still be given. She said: “Since you don’t know what kind of job you want to find, for example, learn something first.”

Lin Sijun: “What are you learning?”

Lin Yiyi: “Learn to drive and get a driver’s license.”

Lin Sijun: “But where do I learn to drive?”

Xiao Yu: “It’s simple. I knew a few people when I was at the Public Security Bureau. Among them, there are transport teams. I’ll introduce you to them. You can go there when the time comes.”

Lin Sijun: “Really?” Men are born to like cars, so since they like cars, they naturally like to drive.

Xiao Yu: “Yeah.” In fact, back then, if Xiao Wu and Xiao Bin had enough education, he could introduce them to learn how to drive, but those two had only read for two years, and they didn’t recognize all the words, so it was really not suitable for them to learn to drive.

Two days later, Lin Sijun went home, and he stayed in the army for two days, mainly because Jin Yu contacted the transport team, so it was delayed for a day. When he got home, he told Jiang Xiaotu that he was going to learn to drive. Jiang Xiaotu is happy for his man. In modern times, a driver is also a good occupation, especially a transport team. Although Lin Sijun just went to learn to drive, but if he learns it, he will have one more skill and it will be easier to find a job.

Jiang Xiaotu: “Really? That’s really great.”

Lin Sijun went to learn how to drive in September. During the Chinese New Year, he brought good news to Jiang Xiaotu. He became a driver of the transport team, but he was only on probation. The solution is at home, to follow the drive.

For this reason, although Jiang Xiaotu was worried about him, he was also happy for him. Everyone knows that if you can get a quota during the probationary period, as long as you don’t make mistakes, you will definitely be able to become a regular worker at that time. Lin Sijun was able to get this quota, naturally, he couldn’t do without Jin Yu’s recommendation, but he also worked hard to make progress, and the meat in exchange for his family’s meat tickets was not too small.

Three years later, July ’75.

Zhang Xiaojun came to the army with Fang Fang’s mother and son carrying large and small bags.

Lin Yiyi: “Are you leaving with Fang Fang’s mother and son?”

Zhang Xiaojun: “Yes, the school recommended a job for me, I am a skilled worker, and a dormitory was also arranged for me there, so I plan to bring their mother and son there.” During Zhang Xiaojun’s several years at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, the so-called so-called is very hard work. He himself is a person who will not compromise on the means to achieve the goal, so in order to have a good job after graduation, he will not slacken his learning ability. I have to say that this kind of uncompromising method is a bit scary to use in other things, but when used in learning, it becomes perseverance.

Lin Yiyi: “It’s good, so it turns out that the success achieved by one’s own efforts is far more proud than the success achieved by calculating everything, isn’t it?”

Zhang Xiaojun is not a fool, how can he not hear what Lin Yiyi means: “Sister, thank you.” No matter whether he will calculate others or move other thoughts on the road of life and work in the future, but At least, for Lin Yiyi, his sister, he is really grateful. In the few years he went to the countryside, he was happy to get along with his family, and the face his relatives gave him was enough for a dog.

Lin Yiyi: “You’re welcome. In the future, take good care of Fang Fang’s mother and son. People can have no conscience in some places, but they can’t have no conscience when it comes to wives and children.”

Zhang Xiaojun: “Well.”

Zhang Xiaojun left the brigade with Fang Fang’s mother and son, while Fang Cao still lived in the old house of the Lin family.

Time unknowingly, at the end of 1976, many battalions of Sunshine Commune were already electrified. Because Sunshine Commune developed well, the county government gave priority to the battalions under Sunshine Commune when it came to electrification. .

Because the brigade already has electricity, things like the New Year’s Eve dinner are of course put in the evening. So at noon on New Year’s Eve, Lin Yiyi called several brothers from the Lin family to come to the house for dinner, because she had something to say.

After a good meal, Lin Yiyi told everyone about the college entrance examination: “According to your brother-in-law’s classmates in the special institution, the college entrance examination may resume next year.” This is what Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu said to each other.

When Lin Yiyi said this, everyone was shocked.

Lin Sijun: “Sister, is what you said true?”

Lin Yiyi said, “I’m 80% sure, so what do you think?”

Lin Wujun: “I don’t have to think about it. I will graduate from high school next year. If the college entrance examination resumes, I will continue to take the university entrance examination.”

Lin Sijun: “I’m also going to continue the university entrance exam.”

Jiang Xiaotu: “Me too.” Their husband and wife are both high school students and naturally yearn for the university entrance examination, so if the college entrance examination resumes, there is no doubt. Jiang Xiaotu is now taking care of the children at home, Lin Sijun is a driver, and the salary is not low, and their children are still young, so after graduating from high school, she has been staying at home, even if she goes to work.

Lin Dajun: “I…”

Lin Zhen: “I’m not going to take the exam, I’m sure I won’t pass the exam.” She didn’t get good grades in reading, and she barely managed to do it in junior high school. Let her take the college entrance examination and kill her.

Ying Shuang: “I will continue the college entrance examination.” She wants to apply for the medical university.

Lin Sanjun: “I also take the college entrance examination.” Although Lin Sanjun has not even graduated from junior high school, his perseverance is very strong, so he doesn’t need to worry at all.

Finally, Lin Yiyi looked at Lin Dajun: “Dajun, how about you?”

Lin Dajun: “Me? I don’t know.” His work has been so sloppy in recent years that he has no goals.
