The Year (60)

Yin Wei and her family are not here today, Guo Yonghong and their unit have activities, and the two went to participate together.

Li Guofang took the child and returned to the mountain. A telegram came from her hometown that her father was sick. There's no way to delay. I bought a ticket for a sleeper, and brought milk powder bottles for my child, and asked an acquaintance to take care of it in the car. to rest assured. He also sent a telegram to Captain Li, telling him to pick him up at Ha Erbin. Yesterday, when Captain Li received someone, he replied to the telegram, and Lin Yutong was relieved.

So, today, only Lin Yutong cooks.

On a hot day, it is not fragrant to eat any hot meal.

I had to make stuffed skins, come out to cool, and cut them into strips. Shredded cucumbers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes are tossed into it, and it is full of flavor.

When the meal is ready, Lin Yutong will leave this Mei Kangmei to eat, "When it's time to eat, how can I go back without eating?"

"Then eat it. "The girl is very simple.

Yin Kun explained, "She is like this when she is small to our family, and she doesn't have to be an outsider." ”

So, really, people can even feel where the kitchen things are located. "The eldest sister is this habit, and it hasn't changed for many years. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, "Yes, the things at home are all picked up by the eldest sister." ”

When it was time to eat, the fourth master came out. He has an impression of Mei Kangmei, but it is certainly not very deep. After all, for Yin Zhen, he is not a very important person.

The old man looked very happy, for a son like Yin Kun who was not doing his job, he could have such a good daughter-in-law, probably he really felt that he had burned high incense.

All summer, the two of them watched coming and going, and it was quite hot.

School is about to start, and two things happen that completely disrupt the rhythm of the family. One thing is that Yin Wei is pregnant. I didn't expect to get better so soon. But after her physique improves slightly, it is still possible to get pregnant. Anyway, it's a sudden pregnancy. This child is a treasure for the two who are not too young. But who took care of these three children?

The old man is back to work. For most of the month, he was in the troops below.

Li Guofang, on his side, did not come over on time. Her father was very sick and had to wait at home. A daughter-in-law is not as convenient as a daughter-in-law.

"Take the school. The fourth master looked at the sleeping child and said softly.

Can I bring it to school?

Lin Yutong packed up his things, "The bed is probably a little crowded." I'll have to find two planks to put together. ”

The school is not without couples who take their children to school. Everyone can do it, and so can their own family.

Everything was packed up, but Lin's father and Lin's mother came, "The child can be sent to us, can you still wronged the child?" Although the situation is not as good as your side, it is better than following you in school." Xiaowei and Dandan are both in the nursery, as long as your father sends them in the morning and picks them up in the evening. Aren't we okay during the day? ”

Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master, "Okay?"

It's not impossible.

But it will definitely take some time for your child to get used to it.

Yin Wei pulled Lin Yutong, "I can really see it, the child is not so tired." ”

How dare Lin Yutong? When such a big child is the most serious, what if he collides?

"It's fine. Lin Yutong said, "My parents are idle." The family home over there is also a neighborhood and colleagues who have lived in it for many years. With so many eyes staring at it, nothing can happen. ”

So the three little pitiful ones were packed and taken to their grandparents' house.

"We have to go over and stay with us for a few days, or the child won't be at ease over there. Lin Yutong said in a low voice. She suddenly felt the urge not to go to school. I think the child is really pitiful. It's like a burden, thrown here and thrown there. Especially for such an old child, leaving his parents and being in an unfamiliar environment, he is always insecure.

"It's been more than a week since I left school, so let's stay with us. If you can adapt to it, you can put it over there, and if you don't fit in, we will take it to school. What can this be?" the fourth master comforted him.

The old man got out of the army and hasn't come back yet. The fourth master didn't have the idea of telling him. You don't need to ask for advice to know that the old man must not be happy to ask the child to leave home at a young age.

The house left by the Lin family for Lin Yutong is still there, and it has been cleaned up. Directly facing the door is a pair of sofas, with a single coffee table in the middle. There are several piers around it, and the piers are wrapped in cloth cushions. On the other side is a staircase that can only accommodate one person up and down, and on top of seven or eight steps, there is a large bed that takes up most of the space. The legs of the bed are particularly low, only a dozen centimeters above the ground. Living with two adults and three children can be considered squeezed. There are small windows open on both sides, and there is no problem with ventilation.

"I guess I made this furniture myself. Lin Yutong asked Lin's mother in a low voice.

When Dad Lin heard it, he smiled and said, "I beat it." Being idle at home is also idleness. A pair of sofas sold outside cost more than 100 yuan, so what did you spend that unjust money for? Worthwhile. ”

The fourth master sat on it, "This spring is not easy to get?"

"What's so hard to get?" Dad Lin waved his hand, "Give two boxes of good cigarettes, and the master of the furniture factory will process them." This spring is guaranteed to sit for a lifetime without breaking. The best steel is all taken out as scrap by the workers in the factory and sold to the scrap station. The old man collected it at a high price, but as a result, it is now a pile. ”

"It doesn't matter in the factory?" Lin Yutong sat down and tried it again, and it felt that it was really not worse than the one sold on the market now.

"Who cares? Nowadays, it is the same as doing more and doing less, doing good and bad, and doing and not doing. Who still takes the things in the factory seriously?" Father Lin said with some embarrassment, "In the past ten years, the hearts of our workers have been disturbed. ”

Mother Lin brought the curtains made of old clothes over and answered, "Tell me that this is not right." We have to act with a conscience. Isn't it worth the little salary you get? Your eldest brother has only been the director of the workshop for a few days, and this world looks different. No one listened to the greetings. After going to work, playing cards and drinking, I can't control it. Now I don't want to be a casual person, and no one is afraid of anyone. Anyway, the salary is given by the state, and the most is a bonus. When the bonus is best in a month, it is only fifteen yuan. But it's not something you can just deduct if you want to. Isn't it true that you offend people? No one else takes it seriously, so you have to compete with yourself. The bonus is not our own money, and it is redundant to manage more. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises was smashed like this.

She changed the subject and said, "Why did Dad remember to make furniture by himself?"

Dad Lin smiled bitterly, "Your second sister is going to get married, but it can't be done without this in this wedding room, and it can't be done without that." Your second brother-in-law really can't take it out. Let's buy it, it's not that we can't afford it. But your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't say it, and they can't have any ideas in their hearts? Your sister-in-law is already generous, but we can't get an inch. I'm idle anyway. The carpenter's job I learned when I was young has not been lost. Not to mention the springs of this sofa, you can't guess what the armrests of this sofa are made of. ”

Lin Yutong pressed the handrail, "Still trembling, what are you doing?" she was really curious.

"Flat Dan!" Lin Ma rolled her eyes, "Your dad spent eight yuan to buy five flat poles." A flat pole separates from the middle, just enough to make a pair of handrails. ”

Not only Lin Yutong smiled, but the fourth master also smiled, "What do you think?"

"There's no money to make a fuss. Dad Lin sighed, "You think, this pair of sofas is more than a hundred, I sat on two pairs of sofas for our family, with a couch, how can it be worth four or five hundred yuan." What is saved is earned. Anyway, if it works, it's fine. ”

The curtains were hung up, and the three children fell asleep.

Mother Lin was going to buy vegetables, but Lin Yutong couldn't watch it. She said to the fourth master, "You watch at home, I'll go grocery shopping." ”

"Go ahead. "The fourth master is interested in the handmade sofa at this time, and he is chatting with Dad Lin in full swing.

Mother Lin took the supply book and walked out with Lin Yutong, "Our egg supply is out this month." ”

"Then don't you say it earlier...... "Lin Yutong also has his own book."

"No book. The daughter of the old Zhao family also returned to the city. The Educated Youth Office assigned a job, and it was at the counter of the store in front of our house. Acquaintances in the past, even if they don't look at the book, they sell it to us. The girl is clever. It's only been a few days, and who doesn't say that she did a good job. You said that Bang has been down for two years, why is the supply still so tight?"

"The economy is going backwards, it's close to collapse. However, it looks like it's going to get better. Lin Yutong put his arm around Lin's mother and said softly, "If you have carried it for a year and a half, everything will be fine." ”

When I arrived at the place, there was just a pork rib on the store. Mother Lin squeezed in after a rub, "Girl, hurry." It's a coincidence. ”

Lin Yutong squeezed in, it was so easy to buy three catties of pork ribs. Eight cents a pound, almost squeezed his head.

"Make up for my eldest grandson. It's still three baby bumps. Mother Lin was satisfied, "It's been a year old, and our family hasn't caught up with selling pork ribs." ”

Lin Yutong said in his heart, I would rather not eat than suffer this sin. Squeeze the individual!

At the counter on the other side, a delicate-looking girl smiled at the mother and daughter, "Next time, I'll call my aunt and leave a copy in advance." ”

"Thank you then. Lin Yutong knew her in memory, her name was Zhao Ting.

"What are you polite to me? Zhao Ting smiled as she spoke, "I heard that you are a college student, you see, I can only sell vegetables." Then he stooped down and picked up the eggs and placed them on a lighted box. This is to take a look at whether the eggs are broken. "This is from Hubei, and it takes more than 20 days just to get on the road, and it's a hot day. There must be something bad. You look at the dots, and pick out the bad ones. "The living do not give it to those who come to buy it. Good or bad depends on luck.

Mother Lin answered. Lin Yutong was feeling fresh, and when he turned his head, he saw a familiar person.

Willow.

I saw her in a blue coat, and she was selling eggplants over there. I heard her say: "Two cents a pound, you can't pick it." ”

It's really her. She is from Shanghai, how did she go to the capital to sell vegetables?
