That year and month 44

Lin Yutong is not unfamiliar with kerosene stoves at all. Almost every educated youth dormitory has this thing. It is light and does not take up space. In the dormitory, he can occasionally improve his own food.

Now that I use this at home, I only dare to use some stir-frying dishes. If I really use this to cook porridge and steamed buns, I can use this to get kerosene. For example, at the pharmaceutical factory of Lin Yutong’s grandmother’s house, employees buy steamed buns in the canteen, carry the pot to buy porridge, and come back home to cook in the kerosene stove. This is how the employees of almost all units live. Lin’s mother is in the canteen, but she is honest and never takes anything secretly to her home. Not as smart as some people, when choosing vegetables, they choose a few more "rotten leaves" and bringing them home to a day's vegetables. An aunt who is with Lin’s mother, takes them home to make kimchi, such as leaves, vegetable trunks, roots, and carrot peels, are all soaked in the jar to make kimchi. It is said that it can maintain a family of vegetables for a winter.

Lin’s mother once said to Lin Yutong, “The radish was washed clean, but it was too ruthless when the knife was cut, and it was peeled thickly. I felt distressed and said that if you don’t have the right hand, I would do it. I didn’t expect to get rid of someone.”

When Lin Yutong saw Yin Wei peeling the white radish, she smiled and learned this from her.

"It's like this everywhere. Smart people are smart in everything." Yin Wei said, then he went to stir the porridge in the pot on the honeycomb stove. Then he took out four boiled eggs from it and washed them with cold water. "Eat these first and drink some porridge. Make sure that the children can eat them."

Lin Yutong responded and fryed the radish with dried red peppers first.

In the morning, the whole family had just a dish. The steamed buns were very small. After all, the steamed buns were steamed on the stove, and the smaller one was cooked. The woo was half a fist, and only one person was one. Lin Yutong gave his own to the Fourth Master, and Yin Wei stuffed his own to Guo Yonghong. The old man refused to eat the eggs given to him, and insisted on Yin Wei to eat them.

Maybe Lin Yutong stuffed four eggs, which was considered full. But she felt guilty inexplicably.

In the countryside, I can also put some wild vegetables in the porridge, so I can at least coax my stomach, but there is no such thing in the city. Just this, Yin Wei's porridge is quite thick.

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

"I have to get the food back first. With my brother-in-law's appetite, I guess I will be hungry every day." Lin Yutong said, then turned around and watched the three children wearing small cotton jackets churning back and forth.

Now I am even more impressed by people. I am afraid that they will turn over.

"I'll pick up people first, we'll get the food back tomorrow," the Fourth Master got up and put on his coat, "I'll go with my brother-in-law and eat something outside."

"If the bus stop is far away, take the three-wheeled personal power." Lin Yutong reminded him.

"Can you still feel wronged by yourself?" The Fourth Master kissed Lin Yutong on the face, "Look at the child. You will be back in a long time."

When the Fourth Master left, Lin Yutong took out a few kilograms of wool from the space. Lin Yutong looked at this wool and didn't look at it. At least the new sweater on Yin Changtian's body was a bit similar to this wool.

When Yin Wei finished her work and came to help look at the child, Lin Yutong said, "I don't care about it. I'm going to see my elder sister take the time to knit a vest or sweater for her father and brother-in-law. If it's not enough, I'll find a way to buy some threads."

"I bought so many." Yin Wei took it and took a look, "Okay, I'm not polite to you."

The two of them were talking in the room. They sat on the edge of the wool, just blocking the child inside, for fear that the child would fall.

Speaking of the child, Yin Wei couldn't help but envy, "We are both so old, and I don't know if we can have children?"

Twenty-seven or eight years old is a good time to get pregnant.

She reached out and pulled Yin Wei's wrist and treated her, "Sister, are you suffering from a cold?"

Yin Wei was stunned, "When I was studying farming this spring, I irrigated it in early spring, and the river water irrigated the ground. The water was very cold at that time, so I soaked for a few days..."

Studying work and farming, and social practice are all things that workers, peasants and soldiers need to come into contact with.

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

"I'm afraid for one or two years." Lin Yutong sighed, "Your body is probably the one that needs the most at home. But it doesn't matter. They are not born the same person at fifty or sixty, and it's not too late to be born at thirty. We don't have to worry, we have a good foundation. I'll go out to get medicine tomorrow."

Yin Wei felt relieved and smiled, "If you can give birth, you will be successful. The one in our family said that it would be a blessing to survive when they come to him. I really don't care whether there are children or not. But in my heart, I feel that I owe him."

"It's not a big problem. Let's take care of it slowly, and it will be cured if the disease in your body is gone. Only when you are healthy can the child be healthy." Lin Yutong said, turning her head, and then she found that the three children were pressing against each other, squeezing into a pile of them to fall asleep. The eldest pressed the second child's legs, and the second child held the third child's arm.

She couldn't help laughing.

"Oh! So good." Yin Wei quickly helped Lin Yutong and divided them up. She didn't go to sleep with the baby. She just rested on the big side. Lin Yutong covered them.

Yin Wei got up, "When the child is asleep, you should go to bed quickly. This is how it is to raise children. You have to follow their schedules."

Lin Yutong fell asleep in a blink of an eye when she was next to three children.

I don’t know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes, why did the child disappear? I was so scared that I sat up immediately.

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

"I've been asleep, and I don't know if the child wakes up." Lin Yutong sat up and felt soft all over.

The Fourth Master smiled and said, "I didn't cry. When I came back, three of them were crowded together. You chewed my feet and I chewed your hands. There was no movement at all. I was afraid that I would cry and clamor for you, so I took them out. My elder sister watched it. I just fed it once."

"Maybe because I knew someone was in charge of the child, my heart relaxed and my whole body was as if I had a tendon." Lin Yutong fell down, "Have you received someone?"

"Checked." The Fourth Master came over to touch Lin Yutong's forehead, "It's okay, it's not burning."

"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 getting heavier again. "It's time to make dinner."

"I first took the grain coupon to the grain station to exchange for twenty kilograms of black noodles, and then went to pick up the person. I came back and bought three kilograms of meat and made dumplings tonight."

"Okay!" Lin Yutong said, then got up to wash her face. I don't know if the food was not up to date or the child's appetite was too high, but the milk was a little insufficient. In the past half a day, I didn't see any milk increase.

When the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong went to the main hall, there was a chopping board in the room.

"The kitchen is not as warm as this place. Besides, we are asked to make dumplings from this family, so we have to make them until midnight." Yin Wei was peeling the onion in her hand, and she smiled when she saw Lin Yutong. She was so happy today.

The sound of chopping meat came from the doorman in front. This strength must be Guo Yonghong's. Then Yin Kun is the one who is kneading him.

"Hello, second brother." Lin Yutong asked all the time.

"Good Xiaolin." Yin Kun was a little dark, smiling and mouthing white teeth. "Wash your hands and wrap them together."

Lin Yutong responded and washed her hands.

The Fourth Master asked Yin Kun, "Where is my father?"

"It's inside. I stared at the child with good eyes." Yin Kun raised his chin. When the child fell asleep, he sat on the side and stared. His son, who had not seen him for many years, looked down after a few glances.

While eating, I heard Yin Kun talk about his affairs.

"...It's not only difficult to make food, but also hard to make firewood for a meal. Ours is different from the Northeast. There is no hard firewood. They are all wheat straw, peanut seedlings, cotton poles, and corn poles." He sighed, "Wheat straw, peanut seedlings and corn poles can be used as feed for livestock. The production team is willing to ask everyone to share it as firewood. They are all taken to the feed farm as feed. Just that little cotton poles, the family is divided into a little bit. What's enough? So, I would rather suffer some losses and eat with other people's houses with food than cook by myself. The two years my grandma was there, it's hard to make it.

I'm dying. Even if everyone takes care of me, it's not enough to cook the kang for my grandma. When my grandma left, I simply locked the door of my house and went with the educated youth who were in the army. After getting off the ground every day, I had to pick up firewood. Otherwise, I couldn't cook. If I often don't often, I'll have half of the rice, half-cooked, but I just don't have firewood. I'm cooking, and people who run out to borrow firewood everywhere every day. In the fields there are no grass in summer, and in winter, the faces are cleaner than people. Take the grass back and dry it, and it's firewood. In winter, the trees are cut with a trunk left. It's so clean."

"There are many families with many sons, and there are several young men who are half old in the family. They just save food and drink dilute every meal. The autumn harvest food will not be eaten at the end of the year." As he said that, he glanced at Yin Changtian and asked, "Do you know the sixth uncle at the village head?"

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

"The seven sons of his family owed food from the production team every year. That year, the New Year was over. On New Year's Eve, there was no food at home. We didn't care about it. We can't lend anything to the outside on New Year's Eve. He was embarrassed to open his mouth. He was in debt in the whole village. In the end, the third grandfather re-turned the peanut seedlings made in the feed farm, and peeled out the peanuts that were too thin and not as big as melon seeds, and put them in half a sack with shells. The whole family relied on that one to celebrate New Year's Eve."
