Old Days (9)

Getting married, it's just a handful of candy. I can't afford to entertain a banquet.

It was lively and lively, and a few old comrades-in-arms who were particularly good with Lin Baichuan were clamoring to drink Lin Baichuan's wedding wine: "You are the youngest, and you are the first child to start a family." "Envy, jealousy, hatred!

It's no wonder that people say this, Lin Baichuan is indeed only in his thirties, and at this pace, he is less than forty years old, and he must be a grandfather.

But among them, there are still forty-year-olds who have not yet started a family.

If you don't have a family, where are the children?

In this life, a generation was sent in.

So, the only way to express your displeasure is to stay and drink.

Lin Baichuan smiled like a second fool, but said: "What a joy! Marrying a daughter-in-law is really a happy event, marrying a daughter, don't mention it, that taste." Drink! Drink. As he spoke, he shouted at Chang Qiuyun: "the child, get two snacks." "Go to my office and bring all the wine from the cupboard below." He said to a few people: "Last time I went to the commander's house, I stole good wine and came back." I haven't even bothered to drink it, it's going to be just, the Communist Party is done. After explaining to people here, I remembered again, "Call Dayuan, Dayao, and the fourth child to come over...... and others came, He introduced them one by one, and called three people to come over to toast, "This is my unsuccessful child......" and then reprimanded a few, "Toast, those who should be called uncles are called uncles, and those who should be called uncles are called uncles, rest assured, you uncles and uncles will not make you suffer." ”

There was a commotion in the house, and Mrs. Lin hadn't closed her mouth all day.

Chang Qiuyun is in the kitchen, and during the New Year, good dishes can still be cleaned up.

A plate of fried peanuts, a plate of autumn oil with flour skin, a plate of cabbage hearts, and a large pot of hot radish stewed tofu. The last pot of steamed buns with two noodles is the best meal.

The smile on Chang Qiuyun's face was flawless: "Xiao Fan, come on!" he said and brought the remaining fried peanuts over, "Taste it, are you scorched?"

Fan Yunqing hurriedly waved his hand: "No! No! I'm here to send something to Niuniu." As he spoke, he handed over the net bag in his hand: "Think about it, there is nothing to send." Here's two thermos, give it to the kids. After getting married, you have to go out to live by yourself, and you need more things. After thinking about it, I thought it would probably come in handy. ”

"Look...... What's so embarrassing about that?" he said, and took it again, "Okay, you're not an outsider, so I won't be polite to you." I'll take it for the kid. Then he pointed inside: "Baichuan is in the house, drinking with Zhong Zheng." Can you go in and say hello?"

"No! no!" Fan Yunqing hurriedly turned around, "I know you're busy today, so I won't stay long." You're busy, I'll go back first. ”

When the people left, Da Yuan, who was holding the book, raised his head: "Mother, why do you accept her things?"

"Why don't you take her things?" Think this thermos is a good buy?

"Anyway, it's not good to take her things. Oha snorted, "You just have no principles, and you can buy it with a small favor." ”

"Know a. "I really can't understand how a person like Lin Baichuan can give birth to such a shaft calf. Counting up, the old lady and the old man are not so temperamental. The old man is a person who can scrape off a layer of gold and silver jewelry, and the old lady is even more shrewd, what is the matter in her heart? What is the result? Such a seedling actually grows in the field of the old Lin family? It is strange! She was not satisfied, so she whispered to her son, "If you don't accept it, she won't owe us?" and she will be able to return what she owes us. That's why you are stupid! If you don't accept it, we can only suffer more. Let's take it, who doesn't say that we are generous? We are ...... "I won't say anything halfway through the talk, I know what I gave birth to, and it's useless to say it," you can really worry about me. Why am I willing to ask your brother to be a soldier, but I don't dare to ask you to be a soldier? Just your brain...... "If you go to the battlefield, you can only die." "It's Niuniu, and it's more worry-free than you. "Never lose!

It's true that suffering losses is blessings, but why do we have to find losses if we don't suffer losses.

One day after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a telegram was directly photographed.

It is from the 115th factory, and the content of the telegram is very concise: Please report to our factory on February 15.

"Is this the end?" Chang Qiuyun listened with his ears tilted, only hearing this sentence. After being puzzled for a moment, he immediately asked his daughter: "Then there is still a month, right?"

"That's not how it doesn't work. Lin Yutong said, "I have to go to the division headquarters to see which day of the lunar calendar is February 15th." ”

As a result, I found out that there was not much time to prepare. February 15 is the eighteenth day of the first month.

It's the seventeenth day of the first month.

Come on, pack up.

Mrs. Lin complained: "What kind of factory is this, why are you in such a hurry?"

Who knows why it's so anxious?

I originally wanted to ask Dayuan and Dayao to send the two together, but it happened that the Ohara Police Academy asked him to go over and submit materials, and Dayao had already started school again.

Lin Yutong said: "Can the two of us still lose it?" My father knows about the factory, what is the matter, you ask him to go." It's not far away, I'll come back and get it if there's something missing. ”

Oh, you dead girl, what to take? Rightfully you're right! Who told you to take it?

"You're married!" Chang Qiuyun shouted, "If you want to go to your mother's house to get something, this won't work." ”

Lin Yutong didn't care about fighting with her at this time, he carried the quilt on his back and saluted, and he was still carrying a net bag in his hand. There are a lot of hot water bottles, lunch boxes, washbasins, towels, toothbrushes, and tooth jars in the net pockets.

It's like fleeing.

As soon as I went out, I saw a jeep parked at the door. Lin Baichuan greeted in the car, "...... So what...... I'm going to go over there and do something by the way, and I'll give them a ......."

There was a smile in Chang Qiuyun's eyes, and the old lady said, "This is a bit like a father." ”

So, things were tied up on the roof of the car. The fourth master sat in the front, and Lin Yutong and Lin Baichuan sat in the back seat.

In the car, Lin Baichuan first said in an official tone, and said to the fourth master: "...... The work of the Security Section is important. Especially in units like yours, the work of the Security Section is a top priority. You have to listen to the leader's arrangement, don't be afraid of hardship and don't be afraid of tiredness......" After chattering and admonishing, he coughed lightly again and said to Lin Yutong: "Niu'er, you go with you, you will know when you get to the place, the conditions are difficult." You may want to want the ideal job, and the leader is not very well arranged. You have to be mentally prepared for this. Of course, as long as you work hard, the leaders will still look at it. You're Daddy's daughter, but ...... Don't think about going down the path of relationship trust......"

"Understood!" Lin Yutong looked at the scene outside the window, the road he came here now was much wider than when he first came here last year. At least two cars can be used in parallel. It can be seen that this winter, people are not idle, she coping with Lin Baichuan, "People are diligent and hungry and don't die." ”

She was talking, looking at the embarrassed but majestic people who had surpassed her from time to time. Many people are still pointing at the car. As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a crowd of people on the huge square that had just been filled.

Lin Baichuan said, "Stop." He looked at Lin Yutong and reached out to touch the child's head, but in the end he only patted her shoulder, "I'll send you here." You have to walk the rest of the way. ”

He didn't get out of the car, he only called the driver Xiao Wang to help the fourth master and Lin Yutong put down their luggage.

Lin Yutong leaned on the car window and called out sincerely: "Dad!" Her eyes were full of smiles, and she said, "Thank you." "@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

He didn't stop by, but came to see them off.

Originally, the car didn't have to turn around, just stop at the place where the person was back. Not a few steps away. But on the contrary, he stopped when the car turned a corner and drove to a place where so many people could see.

Don't you understand what that means?

Can you come in such a car, can there be no background behind it?

This can play a decisive role in the fourth master's foothold in the unit and Lin Yutong's desire to find a suitable job.

Those who have always insisted that the bus should not be given for private use, and those who have always insisted on not favoritism, are still favoritism this time.

The car left, Lin Baichuan, who was sitting in the back seat, watched his daughter stand at the intersection and watch the car leave, his eyes suddenly became wet, he took off his military hat, wiped his eyes, and said to Xiao Wang: "The oil money will be deducted from my subsidy this month." ”

When the car was far away, the fourth master grabbed the salute: "Let's go." It's not easy. ”

It is also the people who have passed through that time, and what many people can't understand, they can understand.

put away the trace of melancholy in his heart, and turned around with the fourth master.

As a result, as soon as I turned around, I saw a particularly piercing figure.

A girl in a tweed coat and small leather shoes stood on the side of the road full of dirt. With a suitcase in his hand, it seems that he is also here to report.

Taking two steps forward, Lin Yutong was stunned.

Isn't this Lin Xiaoxing?

Lin Xiaoxing looked at Lin Yutong, her eyes slowly turned red, she could see it just now, it was her father's car. I want to use the car, but he can't do it on the left, not on the right. But what about this dirt girl? Why can she use it? The same daughter, why are they treated the same?

She sneered at Lin Yutong, turned around and left.

Gotta again.

Lin Yutong was too lazy to care, and when he got to a slightly clean place, he put down his things with the fourth master, "You go to report, I'll look at things." ”

When the fourth master left, she looked around: except for the original factory dormitory, there was nothing else. But looking at this dark crowd, there are not a thousand, but eight hundred. There are also people who are coming one after another.

And you can see that there are all kinds of people.

Some are neatly dressed, with eyes, and look like intellectuals.

What about some more? Patch padded jacket and big crotch pants, which should be invited craftsmen, that is, technicians.

There are also some female students who are wearing military uniforms or dressed like Lin Xiaoxing, looking at their bodies and temperament, they are afraid that they are from the art troupe in the factory.

In addition to squeezing up to sign up, there are also family members like Lin Yutong who are waiting on the side.

Even dragged the family to come.

At this time, people didn't have the consciousness to eat public meals, they only knew that they would follow them to the city, so that they could eat a mouthful of food. It's better than farming in your hometown.

Lin Yutong was standing, and a tall and fat woman came over and greeted Lin Yutong: "...... Big sister, you also came with your man?"

My man?

This is called...... Vulgar, but apt.

"Hmm. Lin Yutong responded very loudly: "I came with my man." What about you, too?"

"Not really. The man said, "As soon as he heard that he had come to the city to work as a laborer, my father immediately sent me to his house." His family was not happy to ...... Fuck it, you want to fly high? Dream about it. I stayed at their house first, and then I ...... I followed all the way. I didn't believe she could send me back. ”

How do you hear that this little daughter-in-law is more tiger than a tiger girl.

Lin Yutong smiled with him, so he tilted his head and looked at the registration place, and when the fourth master came back, he was anxious to know what the arrangement was.

The little daughter-in-law laughed: "What's the matter?

It's full of meaty words.

Lin Yutong couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to talk, when he heard the person behind him shouting: "Tiger girl, is it you?"

Oops, I can't get rid of this tiger girl's name, what's wrong?

As soon as he turned his face, he saw Qian Siyuan standing not far away with a surprised face, "It's really you? He ran over with his stuff in his hand, "Hurry, hurry, keep up! We're in place." ”

Who is this called?

Raise your eyes and see, isn't this Cheng Meini?

"You...... You guys?" Lin Yutong's finger tapped between the two, "You two?"

"Isn't this the original marriage?" Qian Siyuan's expression was a little embarrassed, "She didn't come along." ”

Cheng Meini still looks like a lamp-blowing beauty, but she is indeed not as bright as before. The clothes were patched, and they became dusty dirt girls. Coupled with the fact that I had rushed all the way, I was embarrassed. And because of such and such an unpleasant thing with the Lin family, when he saw Lin Yutong, he only raised his eyes and looked at it, and then lowered his eyelids.

Qian Siyuan put the things in and said to Cheng Meini: "You stay here with the tiger girl." I'll go sign up first. As he walked forward, he muttered, "Oh my God, what is this, where do so many people live?"

This is also what Lin Yutong wants to know.

Where do so many people live?

The fourth master was the first to come back. Seeing a man walking in this direction, the whirring daughter-in-law asked, "Hello...... That's your man, isn't it?"

Lin Yutong nodded: "Yes! it's my man." ”

I've heard all the names of the fourth master, but I haven't heard Tongtong say 'my man' and 'my man', and when he came over, he said meaningfully: "Your man is back." ”

to Lin Yutong: "Hurry up, talk about it, how to settle down!"

Still embarrassed?

When the fourth master saw that there were outsiders, he didn't tease him anymore, so he pointed to the vast barren grassland: "If you bring your family, find a way to build a nest by yourself." If you don't bring your family, you can take a class of eight people and find a way to build a dormitory by yourself. ”

Yes!?

The fourth master pointed to a relatively high place: "See? That's the dormitory area! Let's go." ”

Lin Yutong put away the painful expression on his face, and smiled: "Is that the factory dormitory area have to be built by ourselves." ”

"Hard work, self-reliance. The fourth master pointed to the huge slogans on both sides, "Let's go, everything starts from scratch." Hurry up, let's try to pick a good place. I can't say that I can live here for a year or two. ”

It's really possible.

If you want to build a house, you should first build a factory. As for where people live, what are you anxious about? What are you afraid of?

At the beginning, Lin Yutong felt that this place was big, but now all the way, he only feels that there is a feeling of running a dead horse in the mountains. The high place is a mound, and the low part is more puddle and swamp. Of course, you have to choose a high place.

It's easy to climb up, and there are quite a few people on it.

With the guidance of well-wishers, the two of them first went to the material secondment office to borrow tools. For example, shovels, hoes, machetes, and the like. Then you can start work.

But what kind of house should be made is a question.

Digging a cave?

Someone did this, but the fourth master wasn't going to do this. Both of them have lived in caves, and they know very well what kind of soil quality and what kind of soil layer can dig caves. The soil layer in this place, the fourth master thinks it is not very safe.

When I went forward again, I saw that there were still people digging into the ground, trying to dig a nest in the ground, and put withered grass and reeds on it, which was also warm in winter and cool in summer.

But it would take at least two and a half meters to dig down. Can it not be wet?

Just look at the swamp not far away, and you can see that there is an abundance of groundwater here. It's definitely damp down there.

Neither can it.

The only thing that can be done is to build a shack.

The small shack is difficult to even move his feet, and his family can't stand the grievance.

If we want to take it, let's build a good one.

It's not easy to build it, and there is a lack of wood around, at most shrubs the thickness of a child's arm. And you've got a shack, and you don't have a bed. I have to sleep on the ground. This doesn't seem to be much different from a cave or a nest in the ground.

Comparing and comparing, in fact, the cave and the nest are reliable. At least there can be a earthen platform reserved for bed.
