Chapter 8: First Sight

Lou Jingping finally couldn't bear Grandma Lou's persuasion, and went to the township government to register half-contradictory and half-tangled, hoping that he would be selected and that he would not be selected.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle it well at home!" Lou Yanni accompanied Lou Jingping to sign up, and when she saw the cadre in charge of registration, she wrote Lou Jingping's name on the roster in a dignified manner, and she couldn't stop being happy.

The girl's voice was crisp, someone's ears in the jeep moved slightly, and her eyes were from under the brim of her hat, through the rearview mirror, and she subconsciously locked on Lou Yanni who was talking.

Lou Jingping felt very bad in his heart, if he really chose it, he would have to rely on his sister to handle everything at home and outside the family in the future.

Raised his hand and touched Lou Yanni's head, "Silly Yanzi, if my brother is really chosen, all the allowances will be sent back to you, except for Yan Qiu and Junlin's tuition fees, you can save the rest for your own dowry, and wait for my brother to come back and set a good marriage for you." ”

Speaking of marriage, Lou Yanni is not irritable, the girls in their countryside married early, they all married at the age of sixteen or seventeen and had children, like her sister married to her brother-in-law's family at the age of sixteen, and now the children are more than a year old.

However, her sister and her brother-in-law were in free love at that time, and they were in school at school, and they had to get married when they were pregnant with a child.

Their father just wanted to get more quarrying and exchange work for money, and buy a dowry for the eldest sister, so the accident happened, but unfortunately, the father had an accident and then the mother remarried, and the eldest sister never came back.

Lou Yanni knew that the eldest sister was worried about the family, but unfortunately the family she married was not good, and her in-laws were in charge, so she didn't dare to go home at all, plus the firstborn was a girl, even more.

Thinking of this, Lou Yanni shook her head, the first thing in her heart was to veto a man and family like her brother-in-law, and the first condition for her to marry in the future was to let her take care of her mother's side, and her grandmother would support her, at least the twins would have to be provided.

However, Lou Yanni also understands that this condition is very harsh at this time, but if the other party's family is unwilling, she really doesn't need to marry, she just earns her own work, and she can also provide for her younger brothers and sisters.

"Brother, I'm not in a hurry, I have to wait for my sister-in-law to pass the door." Lou Yanni smiled, her family is in a special situation, she must be married late.

Speaking of his sister-in-law, Lou Jingping's face was slightly gloomy, in fact, when Lou's father did not pass away, Lou Jingping had already said that he was a parent, but because of changes in the family, this family gradually faded, and he didn't say whether to retreat or not, so everyone defaulted to it.

I heard that the girl got married a few years ago, and now she is pregnant with a child, Lou Jingping has gone back to the town to meet her, she has a big belly, smiles very gently, and must be very happy.

Also, the Lou family is all a drag, he is the eldest brother, if he really wants to marry, he will have to face the endless work in the fields at home, and there are three younger siblings to take care of, and if Yanni wants to marry into such a family, he is not willing.

As soon as she said that, Lou Yanni remembered what happened before, and when she saw Lou Jingping's bad face, she knew that he hadn't forgotten Sister Meizhi, and she was still uncomfortable.

"Brother......" Lou Yanni shouted in worry, Lou Jingping shook his head, signaling that he was fine.

Lou Yanni sighed, "Brother, don't think about finding someone to make peace for us, for the sake of our family's harmony, you must find a sister-in-law who you like and like you very much, a loving family can be harmonious and beautiful." ”

"Little housekeeper!" Lou Jingping was so amused by her that his face turned slightly red, and he buttoned the big straw hat in his hand on the top of her head, and strode towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lou Yanni stomped her feet and was angry, quickly straightened her hat and caught up, "Brother, I'm serious, I'm very capable......"

The voice faded away, and the military jeep on the side of the road, the man who was half-lying on the seat with the seat down lifted the hat covering his face, revealing a straight nose bridge and slightly pursed thin lips, and a hard jaw line.

The deep gaze followed the voice and fixed on Lou Yanni's body, remembering this petite back in a white shirt and combing braids in her heart.

Thinking of her words, the corners of the man's lips hooked slightly, it turns out that home is not just a home that will be reconciled with each other, a home with love?

followed Lou Yanni away, and slowly retracted it until she couldn't see it, and she couldn't help but envy the feelings of their brother and sister in her heart, which was so good.

A few days after the registration, the notice of the physical examination came down, and Lou Jingping followed the young people in the village who signed up to the town's health center to do a physical examination.

At this time, the brigade finally distributed food, Lou Yanni looked at the food distributed at home, and carefully calculated how to eat it, so as to save food until next year's double robbery.

This year's year is good, because of the bumper grain harvest, after handing over the public grain, the production team sold more grain to the grain station than in previous years.

Lou's family is still poor, but compared to when the accident first happened, the family is a lot more stable, and the money that Lou's father owed to the brigade has been paid off in the past two years, plus the family has taken care of themselves throughout the year, and no one is sick and has not borrowed money from the brigade.

This year is the most money and food since the accident in the family, and it is also the most stable year.

In the village, the grain is divided between adults and children, and the rice is divided according to the work share, and the more work is divided, and the less work is divided, and the coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and corn are divided according to the head, so as to ensure that everyone has food.

Although Grandma Lou is old, she still insists on going to work, although she can't do heavy work, but she has never left behind in the work of turning over the rice and watching the grain field, and the twins are responsible for raising the pigs in the family, and they are also responsible for cutting pigweed for the two old cows of the production team, and the team takes care of them, and they can also get half a penny.

Lou's family is a diligent person, and the food shared by the family is not small, Lou Yanni looked at the rice packed in burlap bags and a large pile of sweet potatoes spread on the ground, and the heart that she had been carrying finally settled down.

There are a lot of rice and sweet potatoes, and a small bag of peanuts, rice threshing, bran to be kept for pigs to eat, rice to make rice, drink rice soup in the morning, eat two dry meals at noon and evening, and then cut some sweet potatoes into it, you can also save a lot of food.

In addition to leaving some sweet potatoes for seeding, the rest is also to be eaten as food, and the peanut Lou Yanni is ready to go to extract oil with her neighbors in the autumn.

After squeezing the oil, while Lou Jingping was at home, the brothers and sisters took the straw assigned to their own house home, chose the most neat ones that were dry, and replaced the old straw on the bed.

The rest is piled up into haystacks and kneaded into hemp rope that can be exchanged for money at the production team, and the hemp rope can also be kept for your own use.

Seeing that his sister arranged everything in the family in an orderly manner, and the twins were also well-behaved and sensible, Lou Jingping had more expectations for conscription.

The biggest reason why he relented to become a soldier was that after he became famous, his younger siblings would have much more freedom to choose a mate.

Especially Lou Yanni, who is about to reach her age, it is better to have an older brother who is a soldier than to have an older brother who works as a farmer.

Now there are many people who have signed up to join the army, and the screening conditions are also very strict, and only about 20 young people in Huangqiao Town have passed the preliminary examination, including Lou Jingping.

The formal physical examination is organized by the local armed forces department at the county people's hospital, and the political examination is followed by the political examination.
