Accumulate Wealth in Life

that year (44)

Lin Yutong is no stranger to kerosene stoves. In the educated youth dormitory, almost everyone has one of these things. It is light and does not take up space. In the dormitory, you can occasionally improve the meals yourself.

Now that I use this at home, I only dare to use it for stir-frying. If I really use this to boil porridge and steamed steamed buns, where can I get the kerosene? For example, in Lin Yutong's family's pharmaceutical factory, employees bought steamed buns in the cafeteria, bought porridge with pots in their hands, and used kerosene stoves to cook vegetables when they came back home. Almost all employees of the unit have been like this. Lin Ma was in the cafeteria, but she was an honest person and would never take anything from her home. Not as savvy as some people, when choosing vegetables, choose a few more "rotten leaves", and bring home enough food for a day at home. An aunt who was with Lin Ma brought all vegetable leaves, cabbage seeds, vegetable roots, and radish skins home and soaked them in a jar to make pickles.

Lin Ma also said to Lin Yutong, "The radish was washed clean, but the knife was too harsh when it was cut, and the peeling was very thick. I looked at it and felt distressed, so I said that you are not good at it. I didn't expect it. People are provoked."

Seeing Yin Wei peeling the white radish, Lin Yutong smiled and learned from her.

"It's like this everywhere. A shrewd person is shrewd in everything." Yin Wei said, and went to stir the porridge in the pot on the honeycomb stove. Then I took out four boiled eggs and washed them with cold water. "Eat these first, and then drink some porridge. Make sure that there is enough for the children."

Lin Yutong responded and fry the radish with dry red pepper first.

In the morning, the family has just such a dish. The wowotou is very small. After all, the wowow is steamed on the stove, and it is cooked well if it is small. Half a fist-sized nest, there is only one person per person, Lin Yutong gave his own to the fourth master, and Yin Wei stuffed her own to Guo Yonghong. The old man refused to eat the egg given to him, but insisted on giving it to Yin Wei.

Maybe Lin Yutong also stuffed four eggs, so he was full. But inexplicably felt guilty.

In the countryside, you can put some wild vegetables in the porridge, and you can soothe your stomach, but there is no such thing in the city. That's it, Yin Wei's porridge is still thick.

When the two returned to the house, the fourth master sighed, "It's not easy to live anywhere."

"I still have to get food back first, as my brother-in-law eats, it is estimated that I will be hungry every day." Lin Yutong said, and turned to see the three children in small padded jackets, tossing back and forth.

Now it's even better to look at. I'm afraid they will fall over.

"I'll pick up someone first, and we'll get food back tomorrow," the fourth master got up and put on his coat, "I'll go with my brother-in-law and have some food outside."

"If the bus stop is far away, take a personal three-wheel drive." Lin Yutong warned.

"Master can still wrong yourself?" Fourth Master kissed Lin Yutong on the face, "Look at the child. I'll be back in a long time."

After the fourth master left, Lin Yutong dug out a few pounds of wool from the space. This wool, Lin Yutong looked at it, not too eye-catching. At least the new sweater on Yin Changtian's body is somewhat similar to this thread.

When Yin Wei was done and came over to help look after the child, Lin Yutong gave it to her, "I don't care about it, let's see the eldest sister take the time to knit a vest or sweater for Dad and brother-in-law. If it's not enough, think of a way to buy some thread."

"I bought so many." Yin Wei took it and looked at it, "Okay, I'm not polite to you either."

The two were talking in the house. Sitting on the edge of the bed and wrapping the yarn, just blocked the child inside the bed, for fear that the child would fall.

When it comes to children, Yin Wei can't help but envy, "We are both so old, we still don't know if we can have a baby?"

Twenty-seven or eighteen is a good time to get pregnant.

She stretched out her hand and pulled Yin Wei's wrist and consulted, "Eldest sister, are you suffering from cold?"

Yin Wei was stunned, "When I was studying agriculture this spring, I irrigated in the early spring, and the river was irrigating the land. At that time, the water was very cold, and I soaked for a few days..."

Studying engineering, studying agriculture, and social practice are all things that they, workers, peasants, and soldiers need to contact.

"Can it still be cured?" Yin Wei asked with a wry smile.

"I'm afraid for a year or two." Lin Yutong sighed, "Your body is probably the one that needs to be recuperated the most in the family. But it doesn't matter, people are not born the same at the age of fifty or sixty, and it is not too late to be born at the age of thirty. We are not in a hurry. , I'm in good health. I'll go out to get medicine tomorrow."

Yin Wei felt relieved, and smiled, "If you can give birth, you can do it. The one from our family also said that anyway, when their family came to him, they were lucky to survive. If they have children, I really don't care. But in my heart, what is it? I feel I owe him."

"It's not a big problem. Let's take care of it slowly. It's good to go to the root of the disease. If you are in good health, the child will be healthy." Lin Yutong said, and when he turned his head, he found that the three children were one on top of the other, crowded into a pile to sleep. on. The eldest pressed the second child's leg, and the second child hugged the third child's arm.

She couldn't help laughing.

"Yo! So good." Yin Wei hurriedly helped Lin Yutong and divided them up. Don't sleep in a crib either. Just rested on the big bed. Lin Yutong covered them.

Yin Wei got up, "while the child is asleep, you should hurry up too. Raising children is like this, you have to follow their schedule."

Lin Yutong was really next to the three children, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

I don't know how long I slept, but I opened my eyes and saw why the child was gone. Frightened, he immediately sat up.

"Don't be afraid." The fourth master's voice came from outside, "The child is in his father's house and has milk powder. He can't be hungry."

"I fell asleep, and I don't even know when the child woke up." Lin Yutong sat up, feeling soft all over.

The fourth master smiled and said: "I didn't cry. When I came back, the three were crowded together. You gnawed on my feet, and I gnawed on your hands. There was no movement at all. I was afraid that I would quarrel with you when I cried, so I hugged you out. The eldest sister is watching. I just fed it once."

"Maybe knowing that the child is in charge, my heart loosened, and my whole body felt like a cramp." Lin Yutong took advantage of the situation and fell down, "Have you received someone?"

"I got it." Fourth Master came over and touched Lin Yutong's forehead, "It's okay, I don't have a fever."

"Then I have to get up, otherwise it would be too rude." Lin Yutong lifted the quilt and looked out the window, the snow was heavy again. "It's time to make dinner."

"I first took the food stamps to the grain station and exchanged 20 catties of black noodles, and then I went to pick up the people. I came back and bought three catties of meat. Let's make dumplings at night."

"Okay!" Lin Yutong said, and got up to wash his face. In the past two days, I don't know if the food can't keep up, or the child's appetite is too large. Anyway, the milk is a bit insufficient. In the past half a day, there is no milk increase.

When the fourth master and Lin Yutong went to the main room, the chopping board was already set up in the room.

"The kitchen is not as warm here. Besides, this family's dumplings are made for the two of us, and we have to make them until midnight." Yin Wei was peeling the onions in her hands, and smiled when she saw Lin Yutong. She is so happy today.

There was the sound of chopping meat from the front doorman, and Guo Yonghong must have done this hard work. Then it was Yinkun who made the noodle.

"Hello, second brother." Lin Yutong asked a hello.

"Hello, Xiaolin." Yin Kun was a little dark, and smiled with white teeth. "Wash your hands and pack together."

Lin Yutong responded and washed her hands.

The fourth master asked Yinkun, "Where's father?"

"It's inside. Staring at the child with good eyes." Yin Kun raised his chin. When the child fell asleep, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared. My son, who I hadn't seen for many years, was pulled down after just one glance.

While eating, I listened to Yin Kun talking about his side.

"...Not only the food is difficult, but also the firewood to make a meal. Ours is different from the Northeast. We don't have any hard wood to burn. It's all wheat straw, peanut seedlings, cotton stalks, and corn stalks." He said He sighed, "Wheat stalks, peanut seedlings and corn stalks can all be used as fodder for the animals. How could the production team be willing to let everyone share the firewood for burning. They are all taken to the feedlot as fodder. Just the cotton stalks, the family will share them. So a little. What is enough? Therefore, I would rather suffer a little loss, take food to eat at someone else's house, rather than cook by myself. During the two years my grandma was there, it was hard for me. Even the big guys took care of me, but it was not enough My grandmother burned the kang. When my grandmother left, I simply locked the door of the house and went with the educated youth who cut the queue. Every day when I came back from the ground, I had to pick up firewood. Otherwise, I would not be able to cook. Very often There will be half-cooked rice, half-cooked, but there is no firewood. While cooking, there are people who come out to borrow firewood every day. In our field, there is no grass in summer, and there are more people in the field in winter. The face is clean. Take the grass back to dry, and that is the firewood. In winter, the tree has been cut off and there is only one trunk left. It’s really a clean.”

"There are people with many sons, and there are several half-year-old young men in the family. They just eat sparingly and drink thinly. The grain of this autumn harvest will not be eaten by the end of the year." He glanced at Yin Changtian and asked. Said, "Do you know the sixth uncle at the head of the village?"

Yin Changtian nodded, "Why don't I remember, when I was a child, we scooped out bird eggs together."

"The seven sons of his family owe food to the production team every year. That year, the New Year's Eve, the family didn't have a bite to eat. We're not very particular, we can't borrow things outside the New Year's Eve. He was too embarrassed to open his mouth. He was in debt to the whole village. In the end, it was the third grandfather who turned over the peanut seedlings that were used as feed in the farm, and took out the ones that were so shriveled that they were no bigger than melon seeds. Peanuts, half sacks with shells and sent. A whole family, relying on that for the past 30 years."

"In spring, when the green and yellow are not connected, the peanuts on the ground sprouted, and many children picked the seedlings to eat. They go at night, when the adults are asleep. Because they can't see, they eat a kind of fat grass as bean sprouts. My whole body was blue, and my face was swollen like a washbasin. That's all, I couldn't stop people from stealing it. I was so hungry that I couldn't do anything about it. Later, the production team didn't care about any production tasks, and a variety of sweet potatoes were considered edible. full."
