The Eldest Sister is Like a Stepmother [60’s]

After having a good meal, Lin Yiyi took the washbasin to go to wash clothes, Xiao Yu took the washbasin: “Let’s go, you are not well, I’ll get it.”

Qi Spinach looked at it and snorted, she found out that these two younger siblings are more powerful than the third one. Thinking of her saying that her voice was like her dead mother, she was angry, like a dead person, isn’t it bad luck?

Liang Shi looked at Qi Spinach’s cloudy face and was very happy. You must know that it was the first half of the year when she first married into the Xiao family. It was just after the New Year. At that time, the weather was still very cold. Qi Spinach excused that she was too busy to take care of the children, so I asked her to help wash the clothes, saying that she had coaxed the children. Immediately go to help, the result? When she washed all the clothes in the big room, Qi Spinach was not seen. How did the Liang family not know that he was fooled by Qi Spinach? But there is no way. She just entered the door, and she exchanged 50 catties of grain for it. How could she be so stubborn with Qi Spinach, who gave birth to the eldest grandson? Qi Spinach is also a sister-in-law.

Liang Shi originally thought that this young second sister-in-law must not be able to do it. After all, she was too young to fight Qi Spinach, but she was wrong. Although the second sister-in-law was young, her grandmother and mother-in-law would help her because she married a The most capable man in the Xiao family, this woman’s life depends on her man’s success. Moreover, this little sister-in-law is also capable of her own. She makes money with her pen and is a cultural person, which is different from people like them. Therefore, the elders in the family such as grandma and mother-in-law will also look up to her.

Liang’s own clothes followed behind Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu.

The Datang Production Brigade has more water than other teams. They have a large reservoir here. The presence of the reservoir means that there is a water source here, so as early as the drought in 1959, several wells were dug around the reservoir, so the Datang Production Brigade was considered a Not short of water. The downstream of the reservoir is where everyone washes their clothes. The water flows from the reservoir. Of course, the mountains and rivers come not only from the reservoir, but also from the mountains.

In this era, there is no soap for washing clothes. Bathing with soap is a luxury, let alone washing clothes?

But summer clothes are mostly sweat, not dirty.

Arriving by the stream where the clothes were washed, Jin Yu said, “You sit aside and I’ll do the washing.”

Lin Yiyi said: “No need, I’ll wash it.” This is a woman’s territory, how can she let a man wash it? Although she didn’t think there was anything, some things had to be done as the locals did.

Jin Yu: “Be obedient, do you want to get sicker?”

Lin Yiyi pulled him and whispered, “I can do laundry, but Dr. Lin didn’t say no, I just didn’t want to wash my sister-in-law, that’s why I said that.”

Jin Yu: “…” Even so, it’s okay for a big man to help his daughter-in-law wash clothes.

Lin Yiyi: “Aren’t you going to make a bamboo basket for me? You want to find bamboo.”

Jin-Woo: “Really okay?”

Lin Yiyi: “It’s alright, be obedient.”

Jin Yu: “…” Just now, he wanted her to be obedient, and now she has returned the words to herself. However, he nodded, “Well, then I’m leaving.”

Lin Yiyi waved at him.

As soon as Xiao Yu left, Liang’s clothes came to Lin Yiyi’s side: “Second sister-in-law, why did the second brother leave? Did something fall?”

There were other women nearby: “Ah, this is the Xiao family’s officer’s daughter-in-law?” In the entire Datang production brigade, only Xiao Yu was a soldier, or in other words, Xiao Yu was a college student, so Xiao Yu was very famous in the brigade. , even in the commune, he was famous. Just now, Xiao Yu accompanied Lin Yiyi, and everyone was still very curious. Seeing that they were somewhat close, they knew their relationship, but when Xiao Yu was here, it was difficult for them to speak. Now that Xiao Yu is gone, they can Just got the chance.

Yesterday, Jin Yu got married, and everyone in the team knew about it, but in the current situation, no one who is a little decent will come to the door, isn’t this just to beg for food? Even if it is not good, they will not go to Xiao’s house, because this is not good enough to watch the dishes, and if they are powerful, they will not go. The Xiao family is undoubtedly formidable. From Grandma Xiao to Qin Xiangju, they are all famous in the team. In addition to Xiao Yu, even second-raters would not dare to provoke them.

“Is this the military officer’s daughter-in-law? She looks very young, not 18 years old, right?”

“It’s really petite, so small, can an officer have a mouth?”

“Look at what you said, the meat is of course the more tender and more fragrant it is. Like us, it’s old-fashioned.”

“No, the old one becomes air-dried meat, how can it be tender and delicious.”

Lin Yiyi: “…” It’s quite interesting to say this is a yellow joke. However, she smiled at everyone, “Aunts and sisters-in-law, how are you, I’m the daughter-in-law of Xiao’s family, and I’m only 15 years old this year, because my parents went there some time ago, and my mother-in-law was worried that I was too young and couldn’t do anything about it. Take care of yourself, so I asked Brother Yu to marry me in Rexiaoli. Brother Yu and I were married yesterday. We were all neighbors. We should invite everyone to a wedding wine, but the current time is not good. When the future is good and our conditions are good, we will invite everyone to have a drink.”

As for the future, it is just an empty talk, and everyone knows it. But everyone didn’t mind, mainly because the little girl was polite and spoke nicely. When I introduced myself, I didn’t forget to say that my mother-in-law was good, so everyone looked at it and had a good impression of Lin Yiyi.

“The little girl is really sensible, she’s only 15 years old, that is, Xiangju is a good person, so she will let her daughter-in-law come over at this time.”

“No, who doesn’t know about the difficulty of food at the moment, and one more family member will eat less.”

Liang Shi was washing clothes silently, thinking that the second sister-in-law could also speak.

Lin Yiyi smiled at Liang’s: “Sister Liang, I’m going to the county seat later, do you have anything for me to bring you?”

Liang Shi hurriedly said: “No, no…how can you call me sister?”

Lin Yiyi said: “It’s okay, you call me sister-in-law according to the Xiao family, and I call you sister according to our age, and there is no conflict.”

Mrs. Liang: “That’s fine, I’ll listen to you.” There is no conflict. After all, there is no blood relationship, so it’s not that particular. “Second sister-in-law, the second brother is not here. You are not in good health. Why don’t I wash it for you.” She said There is also a bit of a pleasing meaning in it.

Lin Yiyi said: “No, I can do it, no, I think it’s all lesbians here, and I’m too embarrassed to let Brother Yu stay to help, lest people say bad things.”

Mrs. Liang: “No, these women’s mouths are fast and they say everything.” After thinking about it, Mrs. Liang said, “Second sister-in-law, be careful with sister-in-law, today you take her face off, she will definitely hold grudges. .”

Lin Yiyi’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked innocently, “Why did I lose face as my sister-in-law?”

Liang Shi looked at her, and didn’t know whether the little second sister-in-law really didn’t understand or faked it. But she thought about it again, she should really understand, after all, when she was her age, she didn’t understand anything. She felt that she was thinking too badly about people. So Liang Shi said, “It’s about the laundry this time…” She said her own experience aside, “When I first married into the Xiao family, I washed her clothes for a full month. Although not every day, But every three or five times, it was cold at that time, and the clothes of the two peoples combined together.” Every three or five times is equivalent to every time, because in winter everyone does not take a bath every day, but once a few days, four or five times a month, So for a whole month, that Qi Spinach just hadn’t washed his clothes.

Later, she learned to be smart, either going to do laundry at night, then doing laundry before Qi Spinach got up. Although she avoided her, she said a lot of gossip, but so what? Say something ugly and you won’t lose a piece of meat.

When Lin Yiyi listened to it, she didn’t find it strange at all. When she was having dinner that day and discussing the marriage, she knew that Qi Spinach was the best, but her best was incomparable to those described in the novel. Lin Yiyi has read so many novels, from high school to entering the society, what kind of best has not been read in novels? There is a kind of person, no matter what kind of top quality he is against, he always wins a hundred times, and that is the weak white lotus.

In this world, there is no supreme quality that a white lotus cannot solve.

While the two were talking, Lin Yiyi had already washed Jin Yu’s…underpants. Jin Yu is tall and tall, 185 cm tall, and he doesn’t look a little thin, so he is quite predictable. Looking at the panties, Lin Yiyi couldn’t help but think about it, what size, how long it was… She thought about it all over again, and when she wanted to play, she blushed, but the clothes were washed.

When Liang Shi saw it, he was startled: “Second sister-in-law, are you sick? I’ll help you.” Thinking of Lin Yiyi saying that she was not in good health during the meal, and now seeing her blushing face, Liang Shi really thought that She was ill, and now she believed even more that she was really in bad health, and didn’t mean to Qi Spinach.

Of course Lin Yiyi couldn’t explain it. She said, “It may be a little hot. Sister Liang, please give me some water.”

Liang: “Hey, good.”

After twisting the water, Mrs Liang said again: “Second sister-in-law, let me carry it, I am strong.”

Lin Yiyi: “This… I don’t need it, I can carry it.” There were only four or five pieces of clothes, and summer clothes were also light and thin, except for Xiao Yu’s, of course she could carry them.

Liang: “Then if you can’t carry it, call me.”

Lin Yiyi: “Hey, thank you Sister Liang.”

The two walked halfway and met Jin Yu, who came down from the mountain carrying a few bamboos. Although it is said that in this day and age, wanton felling on the mountain is not acceptable, it must be approved by the team leader, but it is allowed to cut a few small bamboos as a back basket.

Liang: “Second brother.”

Jin Yu nodded and automatically took the barrel in Lin Yiyi’s hand: “I’ll carry it.”

Lin Yiyi: “No, I can carry it. It was a little hard to twist the clothes just now. Sister Liang helped me.”

Mrs Liang hurriedly said, “It’s nothing. After all, the second sister-in-law is still young, so she has less strength, but I see that the second sister-in-law’s face is a little red, and her body may be tired.”

Xiao Yu was a little nervous after hearing this: “Is there anything uncomfortable?” The little daughter-in-law’s body is too weak, “When I go to the county seat today, I will drop by the hospital to have a look and check your body.”

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.” Check your body, and then adjust, Lin Yiyi will not refuse. But, “don’t worry, I’m not feeling well, maybe it’s from the sun.”

Jin Yu hummed, and then seemed to think of something: “What did you call the old third family just now?”

Lin Yiyi said, “Sister. After all, I’m still young, and it’s a little inappropriate to call her by the third family, so she just called me according to our age. Is that okay?”

Xiao Yu said: “Yes.” It’s really not a big problem.

Back at home, Lin Yiyi went to dry clothes, Xiao Daqiang saw Xiao Yu came back with a bamboo, and couldn’t help asking: “What is this for?”

Jin Yu: “Be a Zhuluo for changing clothes and put it in our house.”

Xiao Daqiang didn’t ask anything.

Qi Spinach heard it and felt that Lin Yiyi was busy. Of course she didn’t think Jin Woo wanted it.

After Lin Yiyi finished drying her clothes, she said to Qin Xiangju, “Mother, I’m going to the county town today, and Brother Yu will take me there. I’m going to send the manuscripts I wrote a few days ago, and I have to take out the previous manuscript fees. You Do you want me to bring anything?” This is to explain the matter, so that Qin Xiangju will not think that she always runs to the county seat.

Qin Xiangju didn’t understand why they went to the county at first. In her heart, going to the county was money. She thought that Lin Yiyi was young and fun-loving, but when she heard her saying that she would send manuscripts and receive manuscripts, then she had nothing to do with it. Then, he added: “Mother has nothing to bring, you all pay attention to safety on the road.”

Lin Yiyi said: “Hey, good.”

Qin Xiangju watched her son and daughter-in-law leave on bicycles, the smile on her mouth did not close, and she said to Grandma Xiao: “Reading is good, our little fish is a reader, and one by one is also a reader, so I still Good reading.”

Grandma Xiao: “No, so I said, this granddaughter-in-law is good.”

…

Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu first went to the post office to send the manuscript, and then took the 8 yuan remittance slip. After coming out of the post office, Lin Yiyi said, “Brother Yu, I want to go to the department store to buy two pieces of clothes inside.” This is her third time in the county seat. The first time was to buy a dowry with Jin Yu. She had no money at the time. I’m not very familiar with Jin Yu, of course, I’m embarrassed to ask Jin Yu to spend money to buy underwear for her. The second time I came to buy paper, pens, and ink, I sent a letter to Zhang’s family by the way. Although she had 46 yuan on her body, she was not sure about the future, and she didn’t know how the manuscript would turn out, so she didn’t dare to Spend more money.

This is the third time. With the confidence of the manuscript fee, she dares to buy something. Of course, even if there is no royalties, she is now Jin Yu’s daughter-in-law, and even if she buys some things with his money, she can feel at ease.

Jin Yu: “Yeah.” He doesn’t have any opinion on what his daughter-in-law wants to buy.

The two came to the department store and went directly to the place to buy breast wraps. Jin-Woo: “I’ll be waiting for you.” He used to be embarrassed as a **** man, and there were other lesbians there.

Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.”

Jin Yu took it out of his trouser pocket, took out a roll of money, and a few tickets: “You can buy it.”

Lin Yiyi didn’t know how much money there was here, but the money was rolled up and she looked like a lot, and her smile suddenly brightened: “Yeah.” It’s one thing for a man to have money or not, but it’s another thing to be reluctant to spend money for a woman. One thing. A man who is willing to spend money for a woman is a good man.

Lin Yiyi chose two white chest wraps and asked if it was not a bra. First of all, it is not suitable to wear bras in rural areas, and secondly, in 1966, the style of bras spread from the Soviet Union will be banned. The breast wrap she chose was also a half bra style. The clothes were suspenders, that is, there were two covers on the front of the chest, and the style was slightly loose.

Then, Lin Yiyi picked out another undershirt. Daya originally only had one undershirt, but she bought another one now, just two can be used as pajamas.

After buying it, Lin Yiyi went to Xiao Yu: “Brother Yu.”

Jin Yu: “Okay?” After saying that, he took the clothes she was holding. At this time, there was no bag for buying clothes, so he had to pack them himself. However, he blushed a little when he picked it up, this was his little daughter-in-law’s hood. Oh, Jin Yu knows about this kind of clothes. He also went to college in a big city. Although he is a military school, it is very strict, but as long as he is not a nerd, he will understand what he should understand.

However, Jin Yu wanted to laugh again when he thought of his little daughter-in-law’s flat chest.

Lin Yiyi suspected that she had read it wrong. Just now, he saw the smile that flashed across Xiao Yu’s eyes. When she wanted to take a closer look, the smile disappeared. Lin Yiyi: “Brother Yu, what are you laughing at?”

Jin-Woo: “I didn’t laugh.”

Lin Yiyi: “Really not?” Did he see it wrong?

Jin-Woo: “No.” Can he admit what he thought just now? Absolutely not.

Lin Yiyi didn’t worry too much: “Brother Yu, I just made eight yuan, the first time I made money, I want to buy something for my grandmother and mother, what do you want to buy?”

Jin-Woo: “You look to buy.”

Lin Yiyi thought for a while: “I originally wanted to buy a piece of clothing for my grandma and my mother, but eight yuan is not enough, and it is not enough to show sincerity with your money, why don’t you just buy some toffee, and let my grandma and my mother eat it by themselves? , the milk in the toffee can nourish the body.” She just looked at the ticket that Jin Yu gave her, there was a candy ticket in the ticket, just enough to buy the toffee, but she didn’t know if there was any.

Jin-Woo: “Okay.”

Whether it is fruit candy or toffee, they are all in demand products in this era. Ordinary people’s families can eat a few during the Chinese New Year, but there are only a few. The price of fruit candy is one piece per pound, and the price of toffee is two yuan per pound. Due to the limited output of White Rabbit Toffee, the amount allocated to other counties has been very small, not to mention the current period, even less.

However, at this time, even if people are rich, they are worried about going to the black market to buy high-priced food. Who would buy these sweet snacks. You know, the current grain, in the black market, has reached five to ten yuan per catty.

Lin Yiyi only had half a catty of candy tickets in her hand, so she bought half a catty of Big White Rabbit toffee. Fortunately, now everyone is reluctant to buy snacks, so there are still toffee, half a catty of candy has 70 pieces, and it cost a dollar. Very cheap. After buying the toffee, Lin Yiyi pestered Jin Yu and asked, “Brother, do you know about the black market?”

Jin-Woo narrowed his eyes: “Why do you ask this?”

Lin Yiyi said: “I’m curious, I heard that many people can’t buy food on the market, so they go to the black market to buy it.”

Xiao Yu said: “Don’t listen to these things, it has nothing to do with us, you little girl don’t even think about going to the black market.” After thinking about it, Xiao Yu added, “If you want anything, you can tell me.”

Lin Yiyi shook her head: “I don’t lack anything, and I don’t want anything. However, I want to cut my hair now.”

Jin Yu paused: “Cut your hair?” Seeing her somewhat boring hair, it was a pity to cut it because it was quite long.

Lin Yiyi said: “It’s a little hot now, long hair is uncomfortable, and you see, the ends of the hair are split, I want to cut it short and grow it again…” After a pause, he said, “It’s for Brother Yu, you grow of.”

This… Xiao Yu’s ears are red, the little daughter-in-law is too good at talking.

It was already an hour after Lin Yiyi cut her hair. The hairstyle is the popular student head in later generations, with neat bangs, and the length of the hair is slightly longer than that of the student head, reaching the position of the shoulders, which looks like a good girl. Lin Yiyi felt that such a student head was more suitable for her. A 15-year-old girl with a pure appearance, with such a hairstyle, is very popular with the elderly.

“How is Brother Yu?” Lin Yiyi asked, blinking playfully.

Xiao Yu looked at him in a daze, maybe it was because of the change of hairstyle, Lin Yiyi who looked like this no longer had the rustic look of a big girl when she first met him. Qi Liuhai reached the position where her eyebrows went up, revealing her smart eyes. The Lin family’s eyes are all double eyelids, and their eyelashes are very long and very beautiful. A baby face the size of a slap, with a girl’s innocence. Her skin was white, as white as egg whites.

This image seemed to hit Jin Yu’s heart, or it was a new look that surprised Jin Yu. “nice.”

Lin Yiyi smiled. She took out the headband she just bought and tied half of her hair, which is commonly known as the princess head. The tied hair was braided in short braids and tied with another headband. Looking from the back, the original monotonous shadow has become different. Anyone who sees it will pay attention to her head for a few seconds. “So?” Lin Yiyi asked.

When this hair is draped, the whole person looks very good and well-behaved, but after the princess’s head is tied and braided, the whole person looks beautiful, and the small ears, slightly thick earlobes, with The little girl is full of happiness.

Xiao Yu hummed, pressed his fist to his lips, and said, “It’s beautiful.” Damn, his heartbeat was a little fast, thumping, as if his heart was about to jump out of his body.

It was noon when the two returned, and it was only eleven o’clock when they returned to Xiao’s house. The Xiao family was all at home, and the men and women were rubbing straw ropes. Seeing them coming, Qin Xiangju said first, “I’m back, why is it so fast?” Then, she was stunned, “One by one, you…”

Lin Yiyi said shyly: “Mother, I cut my hair, my hair is too long, and I waste too much soap when washing my hair.” She would never admit that cutting her hair is disgusting that her hair is too yellow.

Qin Xiangju took Lin Yiyi to look at it again: “It’s beautiful, this haircut is so beautiful. Mother, what do you think?”
