The Year (38)

Lin Yutong suddenly felt that even if she told the fourth master everything she knew in the future, he would only screen and listen.

Because the Qing here is different from theirs.

So, who can guarantee that today's world is the world they tell.

He might take it as a reference and laugh it off. He trusts his own mind, his own analysis, more.

Just like now, with a little wind and grass, he smells a different taste.

Lin Yutong asked him, how do you know that these textbooks will be useful.

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong, "I have time to flip through the history books." ”

Maybe I don't have enough research on history. But history always has its similar development trajectory, which can always inspire people.

Yin Zhen is a top student in his own right. Because of Master Yun's relationship, he learned English and Russian the most, and also used physics and mathematics mechanically.

The fourth master is looking at it now, but he just wants to get familiar with it. "You can take a look at it too...... Didn't want to lock you up at home......"

Lin Yutong laughed. In this world, if you want to close it, you have to close it. When you are the aunt of the neighborhood committee, you eat idle food.

Even so, when the two of them read books, they only dared to read secretly at night. Then, Lin Yutong will quietly take the book back into the space.

On this day, Lin Yutong turned out the white cotton cloth, refilled the cotton, and made two clothes for Bai Xiaomei's children that could be worn at birth. The due date is March, and it's still a bit cold.

This year, it is difficult to get more diapers for the child. Most of the clothes are made of hard-wearing fabrics. The child's skin can't stand this thing at all. Either it's the kind that doesn't absorb water at all, and if two drops of water go up, it will wet a large piece.

The old autumn clothes and pants are the best, but there are really few who are willing to throw away the old autumn clothes and pants. Who isn't patch on top of patch?

Many people's exposed cuffs and necklines have been ground out with a lot of holes. Isn't it the same as wearing it on the body?

Everyone is like this, and no one laughs at anyone.

The sisters-in-law in Lianli took out their children's old diapers, washed them, dried them, cleaned them up, and sent them to Bai Xiaomei.

The eldest daughter-in-law said: "Everyone is like this." That's all, it's still the old ones that people sent me when I was pregnant with my child. Anyway, the children in our company grew up wrapped in these diapers. Take turns from one by one. ”

Bai Xiaomei was very grateful. When I saw a small bag of small clothes again, I was relieved. Enough to wear until two or three years old. At that time, the child will be older, and the adult's clothes will be changed, and they can also wear it.

It's not that you don't pay attention to hygiene, but you really don't have the conditions to pay attention to hygiene.

Lin Yutong took two small jackets over. Before she could speak, Bai Xiaomei said, "This is made of the congratulatory cloth you received when you got married." ”

Yes, even explanations are omitted.

When they got married, many people did bring cloth heads, one or two feet long.

One foot and two feet, too little, not the same color, the degree of new and old is not the same, what can be done? To make clothes for two or three year olds, you have to find a way to put them together. But it's a bit of a shame to make uppers.

Lin Yutong put it all away. She didn't think about what she could do.

Now when Bai Xiaomei looks at the small clothes, she thinks that Lin Yutong made them with those small cloth heads. She didn't explain, so she pushed her: "Tell the child to wear it close to the body." I've left the threads outside. ”

"It's all given to us, what will you do when you are going to give birth in the future?" Bai Xiaomei pushed, "You better keep it, it's not easy to find such a soft cloth again." ”

"It's fine. Lin Yutong looked at a bunch of small clothes with patches on the kang, felt uncomfortable for a while, and then said, "On our side, there are families on both sides, what are you pushing?"

Bai Xiaomei complained to Lin Yutong, "My mother sent me a packet of brown sugar, and my brother and daughter-in-law also have opinions. I wrote to me and said that I couldn't open the pot at home, and I was hungry and difficult. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I can't count on it, his brother gave birth to a son over there, and now he is taking care of that end. Cheng Hao wrote back and said that he would find a way to get two sets of clothes for the children to wear,......" she said, and opened the box next to her, which contained a bag of old adult clothes, "and asked us to take this and change it for the children." You say this...... What can I say? They all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Now without the help of the people in our company, I really can't survive. ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. If they were all rich, no one would really be ruthless.

It's all poor.

Lin Yutong persuaded her so.

Bai Xiaomei nodded, "That's what I said." I'm angry. ”

"Why don't you see that one from your family?" Lin Yutong asked.

As he spoke, there were footsteps outside, "Daughter-in-law...... Daughter-in-law...... What do you think I bought you?"

As he spoke, the door curtain was lifted, and a big red satin quilt was exposed from behind the curtain, but the person did not come out behind the curtain, "See, let's also make a red wedding dress, no one is as good as Lin Yutong, but it doesn't matter, you wear it like this first, and in the future, I will buy you a better one." ”

He shouldn't have known that Lin Yutong was in the house.

Bai Xiaomei's embarrassed face turned red, "Come in." Lin Yutong is here, don't be ashamed. ”

The hand holding the big red satin quilt 'rubbed' it and retracted it.

After grinding for a long time, he came in from outside coughing, and smiled awkwardly when he saw Lin Yutong, "Xiaolin is here?"

Lin Yutong saw that Cheng Hao's hands were behind his back, and he was embarrassed to take out the things and call them out, so he knew that people were embarrassed.

So he said goodbye with a smile, "The due date is not far away, I have been looking at it a lot lately, if it is not right, call me quickly." ”

Cheng Hao responded, and then watched Lin Yutong go out with a smile.

In the courtyard, Bai Xiaomei could still be heard asking Cheng Hao: "...... You've been busy all these days, and all the money has been spent on this?"

"Yes, I'd like to buy you a wedding dress. This is Cheng Hao's voice, a somewhat apprehensive voice.

I hadn't heard any talking inside for a long time, and Lin Yutong was about to leave the yard before he vaguely heard Bai Xiaomei say, "...... Why are you spending money indiscriminately, and the child has no clothes? You tell him to run bare-ass......"

Lin Yutong turned his head and looked at the small fenced courtyard. She could understand Bai Xiaomei's mood at the moment. She was moved by the man's heart, but she was also angry with the innocence and childishness that men sometimes brought out. It's too bad to live. Everyone yearns for romance and surprises, but the cost of romance and surprises, they can't afford.

Later, Lin Yutong found out. Cheng Hao went to the forest farm to work for others. Top work, that is, someone else has something at home, but please don't come to the holiday, find someone to work for him. Cheng Hao went back to the company every day after finishing his work, working until midnight every night, and paid five cents a day. The snow on the mountain hasn't melted yet, and it's very slippery. It was not only a mountain road, but also a night when you had to carry wood down the mountain. Which piece of wood can't be a hundred catties. Dangerous, hard! For two whole months, just to add a red wedding dress to his daughter-in-law.

Such a story made Lin Yutong want to cry warmly. There is sweetness in the sourness, even if you complain, your heart is more soft.

Half a month later, Bai Xiaomei gave birth to their first child. He's a healthy boy.

The moment Cheng Hao heard the child crying, he also cried loudly in his small yard.

He didn't know what he was crying about, the surprise of a new life, or the confusion of his future life as a father.

This child, Cheng Hao named him Cheng Gensheng.

This is the meaning of wanting to take root in this land after the mind is settled.

After the child was born, Bai Xiaomei had not yet given milk. The first meal of milk was fed by another female intellectual. Her child is half a year old and has not yet been weaned.

At this time, it is not possible to buy milk powder. Beijing and Shanghai have it, but all of them require foreign exchange vouchers. Even malt cream is not readily available.

It may be that the nutrition during pregnancy can't keep up, and Bai Xiaomei has no milk. Lin Yutong couldn't give milk powder, and saw the child crying when he was hungry, so he had to take two catties of millet over.

This thing is also a miscellaneous grain, but it is also good for making porridge for pregnant women and children.

Confinement is difficult. This one gives two eggs, and that one gives some noodles. Scrape together to survive, anyway, they all feed up.

Until the mare of Lianli got off the foal. This child can be considered to be well fed. Uncle Geng milked the mare's milk every day and sent it to Cheng Hao. Roll it in a pot twice and you're ready to drink.

Cheng Hao and Lin Yutong learned to catch fish with a basket, no matter what fish they went back to, they boiled soup, and they drank fish soup for three months before they could be regarded as milk.

But Cheng Gensheng is a little comrade, and he is more interested in his grandmother, and his mother's milk is not very rare. Bai Xiaomei hugged him to breastfeed, and the three or two of them left it in disgust.

Cheng Hao said that after eating mare's milk, this child will definitely become a thousand-mile horse in the future.

Maybe he can't see his future, so, as a father, he pins his hopes on his children.

I don't usually feel that the days are fast. Only when you see the child take off the small clothes can you feel the growth of the child. Only by watching the growth of children can we know how fast life passes.

By the time the wheat is harvested, the three-month-old child will be able to be brought out.

Bai Xiaomei tied the child to her body, carrying a pot in her hand, to bring water to the people who were harvesting wheat in the field.

Like Bai Xiaomei, there are many mothers with children tied to them. They work like men, the scorching sun bakes their faces, and their once youthful appearance has traces and vicissitudes of time.

In the shade of a tree in the field, the mother sits and nurses her child. No one thinks it's rude, and no one thinks it's immoral. They are the most beautiful people.

Lin Yutong stood up and took off the straw hat on his head to fan the wind. I think of the mothers who criticized the mothers who breastfed their children in public.

She thought that at any time, the brilliance of motherhood would not be dirty. It is only the human heart that is dirty.
