Old Movies of the Republic of China(58)

When it rains, the crops seem to grow like crazy overnight. A late spring rain can alleviate the drought in many cases. Lin Yutong took care of the vegetable fields in the yard and outside the yard carefully, and the vegetable seedlings grew neatly.

.The seedlings have sprouted well, but are a bit dense, so you have to thin them out. After the seedlings are thinned out, the green cabbage seedlings can be served on the dining table. After eating wild vegetables for more than a month, no one can stand it. I am not the only one in this family.

, the nannies and guards were staring at me with so many eyes. They were just feeding the children. That is, when the milk supply was not enough at night, they would make some milk powder for the children.

The weather is slowly getting hotter, thick clothes have been taken off, and Chang Sheng’s short legs have become more flexible. As long as someone holds him, he can use this little strength to be led by an adult and walk around the yard. Fourth Master

He was so busy that he didn't have time to walk back and forth with his children. Lin Yutong didn't have time either. Only Huaizi, who hadn't recovered yet, was walking around the yard with his children.

Nothing was going on at noon. Lin Yutong was squatting in the vegetable field and kidding beans and tomatoes. Huaizi held the child in one hand and handed Lin Yutong sticks of different sizes, as thick as a thumb, with the other hand. Lin Yutong inserted the sticks into the ground, and then

Use the peeled thorn skin to gently fix the vines and wooden sticks together. The wet peeled skin from the thorns is easy to use, but it is difficult to tie it into a knot when it is dry. But what can be done?

What? Nowadays, even ropes and strips of cloth have become a luxury product. Who is willing to waste it like this?

Huaizi saw Lin Yutong squatting down for a long time, struggling to do it, and tried to squat down. Lin Yutong stopped him quickly, "Don't, you can't stretch the wounds on your body."

Huaizi carried Chang Sheng back with his hands eager to catch the vegetable seedlings, and then said: "In the past two nights, my teacher dreamed about the old man and the old lady. Could something have happened?"

Lin Yutong paused and said, "Maybe it's because I'm thinking about something and dreaming about it at night."

"Well!" Huaizi sighed, "You know the old man's body well, and I probably know it in my heart. I probably can't let him die."

Lin Yutong was busy with his hands and didn't know how to answer the question. After a long silence, he said: "If he didn't smoke that thing, he might still be able to wait for us. If he still smokes non-stop, it's hard to say. But I guess,

If Widow Liu doesn't see your elder brother for a long time and you go back, I'm afraid she won't be willing to buy another big cigarette for the old man to smoke. But if you want to continue to get money, you have to serve the old man. It's hard to say that his life is not as comfortable as before, but he

By some strange combination of circumstances, he will live a few more years and be able to wait until we go back."

This statement is really - very possible.

Huaizi mentioned Lin Dehai, but did not mention Lin's mother. The two of them tacitly avoided the topic.

While they were talking, Song Kaiwen came. Huaizi avoided it with Chang Sheng, knowing that there was something serious to discuss.

Lin Yutong did not stand up, but was still squatting and busy with her. Song Kaiwen put the notebook into his pocket, and then squatted aside to help Lin Yutong.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong's heart ached when he saw Song Kaiwen's sad face. He must be up to no good.

Song Kaiwen sighed: "Fortunately, I listened to you at that time. Our stock of medicinal materials is still considerable. But... there is not enough gauze."

Lin Yutong stopped immediately, "Why are there not enough gauze? At that time, I remember that I had hoarded a lot."

"Most of the combat troops have been mobilized. They have more difficulties than us." Song Kaiwen scratched his head, "Now the entry and exit of the border area is very strict. I heard that when the young daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home and comes to the border area, her furfurosi will be confiscated. A foot of cloth,

Not a single thread can be brought in. It’s not so obvious this year. Clothes, towels and other old items can still make ends meet. But there are only three or four sets of clothes a year, and most people do high-intensity labor. These clothes

It doesn’t wear well at all. Look at how many people are wearing cotton-padded jackets with their arms open when the weather is hot. They can’t even wear single clothes, let alone shoes and socks. Our current gauze can only be recycled..."

The difficulty lies here, and Lin Yutong cannot change it. He can only reflect the problem, and then watch the bandages drying in the hospital change from long to short, from white to yellow, and he is reluctant to throw them away.

Then, the students in the school basically had no paper to use. Even the roughest hemp paper was gone. For two months in a row, it was basically impossible to buy meat. If he wanted to replenish Huaizi's body, the Fourth Master had to come in the middle of the night.

Set up a trap and occasionally catch a rabbit or two to supplement some meat.

By the time Chang Sheng was able to run around and stumble around the yard having fun, Huaizi was recovering from his injuries and it was time to return to the army.

"You must be careful yourself." Lin Yutong warned again and again, "Remember, don't let your sister-in-law still have no home when she comes back."

Huaizi lowered his eyelids and responded in a low voice. Then he hugged Chang Sheng and weighed it again and again, "Good boy, wait until uncle comes back."

The fourth master took the child and called Huaizi to go and talk while Lin Yutong packed the luggage again and again. He made several pairs of shirts and underwear inside, four or five pairs of cotton shoes, cotton vests and cotton trousers, and then gave them to him.

Huaizi went out. Lin Yutong didn't send him far away, but the Fourth Master took someone to see him off.

She stood in the cave and watched Huaizi leave. She glanced at the school next door and saw An Lai hiding inside the school door. When she saw Huaizi passing by, she ran out and stood at the door, looking around. Waiting.

No one was seen. When she turned around and saw Lin Yutong high up, she was stunned for a moment, and then returned to the office as if nothing had happened. This girl kept making excuses to come to Huaizi during this period, but Huaizi clearly refused once. Later she

Next time, I hid in the study and couldn't come out. Not everyone could enter the fourth master's study, and Anlai was from a big girl's house. It had happened a few times, and she was a bit embarrassed about her face. Later, fewer people came. Lin Yutong

I thought she had given up, but she secretly came out to give it away today, not daring to let Huaizi see it.

I sighed in my heart, and walked up with Chang Sheng. Further up, I saw the crop land cultivated by the guard squad. This was the first year of land reclamation, and the land was unplanted, so even if food crops were planted,

, the yield could not be high. In order to be on the safe side, Fourth Master planted half of the sweet potatoes and the other handful of potatoes. The rest of the surrounding land was scattered with vegetables, mostly pumpkins.

The output of the stuff is large. The fourth master went to deliver locust seeds, but the young men in the security team were busy. One by one, they were shirtless and working in the fields. The sweet potato seedlings were cut back, processed and dried. They can be stored and even come to winter.

When the harvest is lean next year, this thing can be used as a vegetable or as a meal. Of course, you can also eat it fresh. Recently, almost every day, sweet potato seedlings are mixed with stick noodles and steamed in a pot to eat them alive.

Seeing Lin Yutong coming, the shirtless young men all smiled sheepishly, and then they picked early tomatoes from their heads and stuffed them to Chang Sheng. The land on the hillside was drier than the vegetable patch at home, so the vegetable melons didn't grow as big as the ones at home.

But there are signs of maturity early. As a result, the yield must be moderate.

The squad leader of the guard class is called Zhong Shan, a very capable young man. He pointed to the pumpkins on the field and said, "I think they are ripe. Sister Lin, go and have a look. If they are ripe, just pick them. It's not like that anyway."

When it grows, give us Changsheng steamed pumpkin to eat."

Lin Yutong really looked at it and said, "Okay, you will pick it later, and I will make pumpkin cakes for you today. If you don't pick this thing, you may be harmed by voles and rabbits."

As a result, the pumpkin cakes were made in the evening, and I left two for the fourth master. I waited and waited but couldn't wait for anyone to come back. After I gave Chang Sheng a bath and put him to sleep, it was almost eleven o'clock when I heard someone outside.

There is movement.

"Why is it so late? Where did you send him?" She lowered her voice and got up to get water for him to take a bath, but found that his pants were wet. "What are you doing?"

The Fourth Master smiled and said, "Wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear." He sat on the bench and took off his clothes. "We talked about setting up a textile factory. After we finished talking, everyone went to the river to take a bath. I followed the others.

Slip down and rinse yourself off."

How could you get your pants wet? They are still completely wet.

"You think they are all like us." Fourth Master sighed, "Everyone only has one pair of trousers. You said you can go without a shirt in the summer. How can you not wear trousers? But it's not always like this. When you get dirty, you just go to the river to wash it.

, during the day, I washed my pants and hung them to dry on the shore. I soaked in the water and waited for the pants to be 60 to 70% dry before putting them on. I washed them at night and came back with my wet pants on, and then hung them outside to dry in the evening until they were almost dry in the morning.

It’s almost done.”

"Then if there is an emergency meeting..." Lin Yutong put his wet pants on the edge of the stove outside, and then continued when he came back: "You are all walking in wet pants?" This person is getting old, and everyone has to sit down.

Sickness comes.

Fourth Master said matter-of-factly: "What else can we do? Run naked?" He got on the kang neatly, "That's why I'm so anxious to set up my own textile factory. I may be a little busy recently and can't take care of my children.

.There is no equipment, so it will take some effort to modify it with the most primitive equipment.”

Therefore, Lin Yutong had to go to work and take Chang Sheng with him. Qian Ni was asked to play with the child, and she had to do whatever she had to do. Fang Yun mentioned more than once that Lin Yutong should put the child in Baoyuyuan, but where was Lin Yutong?

Are you willing to give up? The days of overcoming and overcoming are over. Today's Baoyuyuan is not in Yan'an, but in Anbao County. It is not a short distance away from Yan'an. It would be difficult to see the child for half a year. Before, the child had no

You can still hire a nanny when you are one year old, but now that your child is over one year old, it is a bit inappropriate to continue like this. It is only Qian Ni who can help. A child of this age needs to sleep when he wants to sleep and eat when he is hungry.

At this age, Chang Bu often fell asleep on Qian Ni's back. But even so, he couldn't be sent home. The child refused to stay without him and his fourth master at home. But Lin Yutong got busy and even those who felt sorry for the child couldn't.

There was no effort. As soon as he cried to find his mother, Qian Ni held her away, fearing that the crying would affect Lin Yutong's work. When Lin Yutong noticed it later, he realized that the child did not dare to cry anymore, and would move away from his parents when he cried.

the further away.

"Tell Qian Ni to take it with you and follow me." The fourth master saw Lin Yutong shed tears of distress, and reached out to touch the child's head, "It's just that it may not be easier to follow me. Most of the time is outdoors, the only

The good thing is that the child can see me." Qianni asked Qianni to play with the child nearby, making sure that when she raised her head, she would see her father there.

So the first thing the child learned after he could walk was to pick up sheep dung. He took a small shovel and picked up the sheep dung on the road into the small basket Qianni was carrying. Because the people he saw most on the road were people picking up dung.

People. Lin Yutong didn't know what kind of expression to put on when he saw the child who came back to ask for credit every day.

At night, the couple sat facing each other, with the sleeping child lying in the middle. They both felt worried. What should they do?

Qian Ni definitely has no problem taking care of the children and does her best, but she has a big problem when it comes to teaching the children. And she has not been able to correct this problem. Others are engaged in production, but Qian Ni is taking care of the children. She can

You should be praised for looking after your children while picking up manure and manure.

The fourth master was silent for a long time before saying: "From now on, I'll ask Qian Ni to follow you. Ask Bai Yuan to take care of the child. From now on, I'll keep an eye on him and never leave my sight."

Lin Yutong touched the child's head. Looking at the child, he couldn't even say that he regretted being born.

The vegetables and fruits grown at home have slowly grown, and the dishes on the table have become more abundant. The half-acre vegetable field in the front and back of the yard naturally has a higher yield than other fields. Qian Ni spends almost half of her time helping to deal with these.

Vegetables that cannot be eaten should be dried in the sun, and those that should be pickled should be pickled as soon as possible.

But there is no solution for many daily necessities, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes. Toothpaste has begun to be replaced by salt, and toothbrushes have to be made by themselves. Just drill holes in small wood chips and fix them with horse tail hair.

During today's meeting, Lin Yutong was stunned as soon as he entered Mr. Antai's office. The old man had to wear reading glasses to see. He still wears reading glasses now, but one of the spectacle legs is replaced by a rope and hung on his ear. Lin Yutong looked at him,

Mr. An Tai waved his hand, "There is no way, even if I know how to repair it, I don't have the parts. Just make do with it."

But many of these things can be used to make ends meet, but hospitals cannot make ends meet. The inventory of Western medicines is getting less and less, and even alcohol has become a scarce resource.

Lin Yutong sat down and was about to talk about it when Fang Yun hurried in, "It's too late! It's too late!"

Now there are only three of them in the meeting. Several doctors from the Japanese country do not have this qualification. They are only responsible for diagnosis and treatment.

Mr. Antai waved his hand: "It's good that you're here. I know you're busy." He got straight to the point, "The superiors have issued another notice, requiring good health work to ensure that the people working on the farm do not get sick."

How is this guaranteed?

Fang Yun was completely new to this. She looked at Lin Yutong, waiting for her to speak.

What can be done? Lin Yutong leaned back in his chair, "Cure the disease! It can only be prevention and treatment. What I mean is to ask the students to go down to the company and insist on giving them the company physical examination they are responsible for every day. It can only be regarded as practical learning."

"That's just right." Fang Yun quickly replied, "I came in late just now and went to a meeting. Didn't I write a report before, asking for the training of medical staff for each army? Now all places can send people.
