golden years(9)

When I opened my eyes, I was in a strange place.

The Fourth Master is still asleep. It's still early, so it's probably not dark yet. The room is dark, the window is open, and the curtains are blowing in the wind. No wonder it feels so comfortable!

That’s right! It’s autumn, and it’s very cool in the morning and evening.

Maybe the Jin family was tired after working for so many days. There were all kinds of noises in the yard outside, but the house was quiet.

There are no chickens, ducks, or dogs at home, and with fields on one side, it is even quieter.

The fourth master turned over and raised his hand to touch, but no one was there. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tongtong sitting alone on the bed, with disheveled hair and a bit of confusion.

"Don't sleep anymore?"

Staying in bed before was indeed affected by illness and medication, but from a health point of view, the body has adjusted and going to bed early and getting up early is beneficial to health. Exercise is especially important.

Tongtong nodded, "Get up and move."

Can you move?

"I can start to move slowly." It must be done step by step.

Then let's get up! The fourth master was also full from sleep, so the two of them got up. The Jin family didn't have to fetch water. There was a pressure well at home, which saved a lot of effort.

I got up quietly and washed up, and my fourth master went to clean the yard. Tongtong went to practice Tai Chi first. Living in the countryside is a good thing. The air is really good when you get up early. You don’t need much space for activities, so you can’t move lightly.

Anyone who disturbs you can complete the activity. Get up early and do boxing, and then exhale in the direction of the sun, and the body's yang energy will naturally rise.

After practicing, she was covered in white hair and sweat, and she tidied up the room when she went back. But she didn't plan to cook, so we had to find something to cook for the whole family.

Take a basket and go to the vegetable garden. The autumn eggplants are so old that they will get even older as they grow. There are also beans that are about to be sold out, old cucumbers, and half-red and half-green peppers. To be honest,

Most of the things she grew in her yard were inedible. After picking them, she kept them where they were without bothering to move them. After the fourth master had cleaned up the yard and neatly arranged the entrance to the house, she put the vegetables away.

The basket was moved to the kitchen.

Looking around, Tongtong whispered to Fourth Master: "I want to eat tender corn."

I haven't eaten it in years.

In the last life, we couldn’t find corn, and neither of us could eat it. I can’t even remember it, but it’s true! In this season, you should eat young corn.

Wait! Next to it is the family's private land, where corn is grown. The fourth master carried a basket and went to look for corn.

When Yang Shuhui woke up early in the morning, she saw her daughter-in-law already up and standing in the yard smiling at her son's back.

Yo! Why did you get up so early? She said, "Why are you up? It's okay, there is nothing to do at home, just sleep if you want."

I'll take a nap in the afternoon and it'll be fine! Yang Shuhui can't figure out the temper of the wife here, okay! How do you feel comfortable? As she went to wash up, she asked: "What is the fourth child doing out there?"

"I wanted to eat the tender corn, but he went to break it off."

Yang Shuhui: "………………Okay! The tender corn is edible." But who is willing to eat it like this! But it doesn’t matter, isn’t it just eating corn? Eat!

The son of a prodigal picked up a dozen or so particularly good-looking ones and brought them back, "Two for each person." No need! Keep them all for your wife.

Fourth Master washed his hands and looked at his watch. It was not yet seven o'clock. He said to Tongtong, "After dinner, I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Lin Yutong looked at the tender corn and the endless autumn vegetables, "Do you want to collect the tender corn and autumn vegetables and send them out?"

Nowadays, you can make money by doing anything, but under the current conditions, you can only find ways to find ways within reach. Taking over is in a town, and you can't survive because of hunger, so you have to find ways to move around.

This is to solve their own problems, and it is also to help each family earn more money. Farmers will not die of hunger, but they just have less money to spend.

It is also profitable to go back and forth between the public and the public. There is no need to do this secretly, as long as you convince the units and many units and individuals who do it will make money, that's it.

The key is that the money he and Tongtong have is the one hundred and twenty yuan that Tongtong brought as dowry. This money... based on the living habits of himself and Tongtong, what is enough for him?

After Yang Shuqin washed up, she went to the kitchen. She boiled hot water and filled all the thermos bottles in the house before cooking. Her daughter-in-law kept choosing vegetables, while her son squatted beside him, holding a

A small wooden stick, used for making signs on the ground. I don’t know what to say to his wife.

As she was busy, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This little brat looks like a human being."

The three of them got up before eating. Jinyin was embarrassed and said, "I'm old. I'm exhausted after doing something."

Lin Yutong moved a small table and stool and prepared to eat, "Then take a rest after eating."

I can't rest anymore. I still have two sons who are not married, so I need to find money.

The sudden addition of a younger sibling to the family was not a very comfortable situation for the two young men.

Damin smiled sheepishly, "I was thinking that you guys wouldn't get up early. I also said that you should sleep a little longer to avoid disturbing others, but who knew you guys got up early."

"The two of us are the least tired these days!"

While eating, I steamed a bowl full of custard and pushed it over to Lin Yutong, "Eat quickly!"

But I can't eat so much! Lin Yutong pulled out a piece and set it aside separately, "I can't eat that much, these are enough."

Fourth Master helped put the rest in the middle of the table. Jinyin took a look and found that the piece was roughly one-sixth, and the child only ate her portion. Give Tongtong two corn cobs on the table.

Come here, I'm not polite, I gave Fourth Master one, and she was full after one.

No one is snatching it. No matter what, it’s just corn, so no one cares about it.

After dinner, Fourth Master really just rode his bicycle and went out. Tongtong did not go to the kitchen to clean up, but only helped bring the bowls and chopsticks in, and said bluntly, "Mom, you clean up. Sihai may have to go out these days.

Let me see if his Qiuli clothes are enough?"

Ah? Oh!

Yang Shuhui happily started to clean up the kitchen. She no longer had to worry about whether the little slut was worn by humans or ghosts.

The fourth master really had nothing to wear, and those clothes were not something he could wear when going out for his current job. She did have two pairs of new autumn clothes and long trousers. She took them out, washed them in the water, and dried them outside.

Then there was the coat! She found that there was a sewing machine at home, which made it easier. There were several pieces of material in the dowry, suitable for making men's clothes. It was simply a Chinese tunic suit, one blue and one black, which was a quick job to cut.

As long as you cut it properly, it's not difficult to sew.

Then Lin Yutong threw it to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I'm not very familiar with using a sewing machine. You can do it."

Ouch! How can you cut such good material by yourself? What if the cut is damaged? But I dare not say this, and we don’t understand it. Okay! Don’t you just tell me to start sewing? “You can rest and let mom do it.”

Lin Yutong really gave up! He wasn't really resting. He was just thinking about making some clothes for Lin Shuangchao. Either he didn't miss Lin Shuangchao, or when his daughter had no income, he would collect a new set of clothes and wear them out.

? No.

There are various magazines on the bookshelf that Fourth Master collected from the post office, some of which are already a year old.

However, the submission address will not change.

She first took out all these magazines and read them one by one. How should I put it? Most of the articles and novels from this period have very obvious characteristics of the suffering of the times. On the contrary, prose, good prose makes people feel very comfortable.

But prose is generally very short. If the prose can be published, how much does it cost for ten yuan?

Almost!

If he were to write this, Lin Yutong felt that it would be better to write about something about the changes of the times. Of course, there are good things and bad things in changes, and the good ones should be praised, but some things must be pointed out, even if they have some warning effects.

So what is to be praised now?

The courage to reform should be praised.

What should be criticized?

Complacency and rigid thinking should be criticized.

However, some radical and profit-seeking practices in reform are wrong, and some prudent practices in complacency and rigid thinking are worth learning from.

For example, the economy is very important, but there is a bottom line for development. Which bottom lines cannot be broken? In addition to the pillars of the national economy and people's livelihood, that is the protection of resources and the environment.

She took these as the keynote and made a fuss about it.

With a blueprint in mind, she was stunned as soon as she spread out the paper and started writing. She felt that she was writing very smoothly. She even seemed to see a woman at a book signing.

She stopped and looked at her hands, and for a moment she felt like she was an old hand.

Just as I was thinking about it, the fourth master came back.

How is it?

Fourth Master shook his head: The original person's reputation was too bad, and the company didn't dare to make such a fuss.

Tongtong took out all the money in his hand and said, "One hundred and twenty-seven yuan, let's take a look first... We don't have enough corn, let's look at the autumn vegetables! Everyone grows them, and if they really come to ask for them, I'll give you a basket for free.

Not to mention a basket of autumn vegetables on credit, eight cents and ten cents..."

That’s right! That’s what I thought.

If you add your own corn, it will be almost the same.

Lin Yutong stood up and said, "You go and do your work first. I'll go back to the Lin family. The Lin family has planted corn this year."

become!

Jin Yin watched his son come back and hurried out with his wife. He didn't know what was going on.

Old Mrs. Lin over there heard her granddaughter bumping her lips, saying that she was going to sell the unripe crops at home. Before she could say anything, Yu Rong clapped her hands and said, "Yes! My brother-in-law is so smart.

There's no reason why the stuff can't be sold. No matter which big factory you set up a stall in front of, it will work." She said, "I'll go to the post office and make a call. The Ninth Provincial Cotton Spinning Factory is a factory with 20,000 people.

Well, as long as you agree, you can drive directly to the factory over there!"
