Chapter 37

The Yao family and the Li family were old friends before liberation.

Yao Congyun and Li Huiru grew up together, studied together, worked together, and got married at about the same time. They are not sisters but better than sisters.

When Yao Congyun gave birth to their son Song Shaobo, the two said they would get married in the future. But later, Li Huiru was unable to have children for many years. Six years later, she raised Lin Shu. However, the age difference between the two was too big, so the two families never mentioned it again.

Chengxi Military Region is not far from Xizhou City, and they have been in close contact for many years.

Song Shaobo is much older than Lin Shu, and he really treated her like his own sister since she was a child.

When Lin Shu moved to Xizhou City with her family at the age of twelve, Song Shaobo was in college. He gave her tutoring, taught her to draw, and took care of her.Go out and play.

But there is absolutely no emotion beyond the love between brother and sister.

Until something happened to the Lin family half a year ago.

Yao Congyun knew that Li Huiru wanted to follow Lin Zhaotong to Gannan, but he couldn't worry about Lin Shu and Fengfeng.

Moreover, after Lin Shu graduated from high school, according to the policy, he also had to go to the countryside.

Lin Shu's appearance was so outstanding that not only Li Huiru but also Yao Congyun was worried.

So after talking with her son, she decided with Li Huiru about the marriage between Lin Shu and Song Shaobo, so that when Li Huiru went to Gannan, they could legitimately take over Lin Shu and Youfeng and take care of them together.

But she was rejected by Li Huiru.

She said she couldn't harm them and insisted on sending Lin Shu to the countryside.

But Song Shaobo himself didn't know why, after Li Huiru rejected their marriage, his feelings for Lin Shu changed.

But before he could figure out how to deal with this change, Lin Shu went to the countryside.

Then he came back and brought a man with him.

Men probably have a natural instinct when facing a love rival.

With just one movement and one look, you can understand the other person's thoughts.

Lin Shu avoided his hand.

His hand failed and his eyes dimmed, but Lin Shu grabbed his sleeve and used his strength to get through the door. Then he shouted "Aunt Yao" inside and threw himself into his arms.

Song Shaobo:......

He withdrew his eyes from Lin Shu and looked at Liang Jinxi again. His heart felt like he had knocked over a cruet, and the taste was unspeakable.

He said, "Commander Liang, please come in," but he didn't move at all, blocking the door. He looked at him and said slowly: "I have always heard Shu Shu say that her relative Aunt Hu from the countryside took special care of her. , this time when she returned to Xizhou City, she specially asked you to send him here. She has never done any work since she was a child, and she has a bit of a squeamish temper. It would be troublesome for Aunt Hu to bother you. "

Liang Jinxi glanced at him.

She's pretty tall, almost 1.78 meters tall, but she's still far behind him.

That body is probably not big enough for him to punch.

That face is quite white.

The appearance is probably what ordinary girls on the street would like.

But it's probably not the kind that Lin Shu likes.

Lin Shu said that she grew up in the military zone and her vision was different from that of the girls in Xizhou City.

A little of the usual annoying smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly: "My mother is not the kind of person who would be mean to her daughter-in-law. Is it normal for a family to treat her well? As for sending her to Xizhou City, this This is my responsibility. Instead, Fengfeng has troubled you for so long, so we should say thank you."

His words actually don't make people feel better than his fists.

The blood on Song Shaobo's face disappeared visibly to the naked eye.

"Brother Shao Bo, what are you doing standing outside? Brother Liang, come here and I will introduce you to Aunt Yao."

Lin Shu's voice sounded inside.

Liang Jinxi looked at Song Shaobo with a half-smile.

Song Shaobo almost gritted his teeth and said "Please come in" again, and finally got out of the way.

Liang Jinxi entered the room.

Yao Congyun had let go of Lin Shu and looked at Liang Jinxi who walked in.

Lin Shu said: "Aunt Yao, this is Battalion Commander Liang Jinxiliang, the eldest brother from Aunt Hu's family in the army that I told you before. It just so happens that we have some things to do in the brigade when we come to Xizhou City this time. He came with me."

He then introduced Yao Congyun and Song Youliang to Liang Jinxi and said, "Brother Liang, this is Aunt Yao and Uncle Song that I told you before."

"Teacher Yao, Chief Engineer Song."

Liang Jinxi greeted.

"Come in and sit down."

When Lin Shu introduced him, Yao Congyun had been looking at Liang Jinxi.

But unlike Song Shaobo's hostility, her look was gentle and reserved, with the kindness of an elder meeting a younger one.

A few people sat down, and Song Shaobo made tea for Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi.

Liang Jinxi's Kuding tea.

Lin Shu's chrysanthemum tea.

Liang Jinxi glanced at the kuding tea floating in the cup, twitched the corner of his mouth, and thought of that capitalist romantic thing again, but what should I say? Last night, Lin Shucai told him with bright eyes that her favorite was mutton. Soup.

He took the cup and took two sips.

Although it is painful, it is refreshing.

When Yao Congyun saw the two of them having tea, he glanced at his son, quite disapproving of it.

"Aunt Yao, was Fengfeng taken away by the Lin family?"

Lin Shu didn't know the undercurrent behind these two cups of tea.

Or, even if she knew it, she chose not to see it.

When Yao Congyun heard Lin Shu ask about Fengfeng, he looked guilty and said, "Yes, I was picked up by the Lin family on New Year's Eve."

"I'm sorry Shu Shu, because we knew you would come over and we didn't want to have too much conflict with them now, so we let them go. But you, Uncle Song and Shao Bo, I went to see Fengfeng yesterday, and the Song family still doesn't care about him for the time being. It's pretty good. But I tested their intentions and said that the conditions of the Song family are always too bad, and we still hope to take Fengfeng over to live here, and then,"

She shook her head and said, "Your eldest uncle disagreed, saying that he was worried about Fengfeng's safety. Finally, your eldest uncle said that it was not impossible to let Fengfeng live here, but they were always worried about Fengfeng's safety when Fengfeng came to live there. , Our house is big anyway, so we might as well let several of their families move in together, or let us help them rent a house in this compound and let their family move in. "

Lin Shu:......

As expected, you are really shameless.

Only you can't think of it, but they can't do it.Lin Shu said sincerely: "Aunt Yao, I'm sorry to trouble you. This time I came here to take him directly from the Lin family to the countryside. It has nothing to do with you. In this way, they won't trouble you in the future."

Aunt Yao shook her head and said: "This little trouble is nothing. I can't protect him and ask you to take him to the countryside. I don't even have the face to see your mother."

Ask Lin Shu again, "But, is it really convenient for you to take him to the countryside?"

As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Liang Jinxi again. Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind, and her heart skipped a beat.

Shushu, didn't she decide to marry this man for Fengfeng?

... Even if Shushu said he was good, the two of them had just met.

In that case, how different is it from marrying that Zhou Chengzhi?

Thinking of this, Aunt Yao felt a pain in her heart.

She said, "Shushu, in fact, that family just wants money. As long as they have a request, the problem is not unsolvable. It is not necessary to take Fengfeng to the countryside."

After Liang Jinxi was looked at by Aunt Yao, he saw her face suddenly change, and his mind changed slightly, and he roughly guessed what she was thinking.

But he didn't care.

Liang Jinxi didn't care, but Lin Shu didn't notice it at all.

She said, "How can that be! Aunt Yao, you have also seen that family. They are simply greedy. Compromising with them will only make their appetite bigger and bigger. How did my parents treat them before? There was no shortage of money and things every month, but my father let go, how did they treat us?"

Coercing her mother to marry Zhou Chengzhi in exchange for benefits!

She snorted and said, "I don't want to give them a penny! And Fengfeng is still young. Their family pesters Fengfeng all day long, which must have a bad influence on Fengfeng."

And why should Aunt Yao and the others be pestered by such a disgusting family?

After she finished speaking, she saw that Aunt Yao looked sad, and the faces of others were also very ugly, and she realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.

She took a breath and smiled, "Aunt Yao, don't worry. In fact, even if there were no Lin family, I would take Fengfeng to the countryside. My mother also meant this at the beginning. And I have been living in the countryside for a while. In fact, except that the village is a little poor, everything else is very good."

She picked out things about the countryside, the environment there, the villagers, the lively and interesting work of everyone, the simple and honest educated youth she lived with, and the kindness of Aunt Hu's family to her. Even the very limited food in the countryside sounded particularly delicious when she talked about it.

She smiled and said, "Auntie Hu has two grandsons, both about the same age as Fengfeng. They live in the countryside and know more than Fengfeng. They can catch rabbits and sparrows in the mountains, fish and catch loaches in the river. They know everything. Fengfeng will definitely have a happy time there. The commune primary school over there is not far away. He can go to school and go home with Shitou and Zhuzi every day, so I feel relieved." Aunt Yao saw her laughing heartily and knew that what she said was true. Her expression finally eased a little. She said softly, "Shushu, you are an educated youth there after all. I heard that you also share a dormitory with several people. Where does Fengfeng live there?"

Lin Shu turned her head and looked at Liang Jinxi, and said, "Auntie Hu said that Fengfeng can live in Auntie Hu's house. Auntie Yao, you don't have to worry. Auntie Hu's family is very good, with good character and family style, and the house is also very spacious. Auntie also cleaned up a room for me before, but I didn't live in it. Auntie said that the room should be given to Fengfeng."

Auntie Yao couldn't help but look at Liang Jinxi again after hearing what Lin Shu said.

She was in a very complicated mood.

Just now she had speculated about him with malice, but to be honest, if she was not prejudiced, this young man in military uniform, although his eyes were a little deep and unpredictable, but his righteousness was still obvious, and he should still be trustworthy.

She felt sour in her heart and said, "Shushu and Fengfeng will both trouble you to take care of them."

She felt a little sour in her nose when she said this.

Liang Jinxi said, "It's not a big deal. My mother and my family like Shushu very much." Lin Shu glanced at him. This seemed to be the first time he called her "Shushu". But he called her quite naturally. She looked at him, and he looked at her. Lin Shu smiled at him. This scene gave the Yao family another feeling. In order to dispel Aunt Yao's worries, Lin Shu told them about the textile factory. She said, "In fact, although the natural resources in the brigade are not very good, there is no fertile land, only large tracts of mountains, so even if the villagers work hard all year round, the annual harvest is very limited, which is not enough to fill their stomachs." "But I think this is a disadvantage, but it is not completely without advantages. There is no fertile land, but there are many mountains, and the annual cotton production is not small. It's just that they send the cotton they produce directly to the county, and the food they get in exchange is very small." "But I see that the villagers can weave, make clothes and shoes, and do everything. The clothes they wear, the clothes they use at home The quilts and bags are all made by ourselves. Although the styles are ordinary, the printing and dyeing are done by ourselves, so the dyeing is uneven and the clothes are not good-looking. "

"I think as long as someone can organize and guide, turn disadvantages into advantages, and make some improvements in details, life will definitely be good. And Aunt Yao, I asked them, the per-acre yield and quality of cotton there are not very good. I remember that your college has a teacher who specializes in cotton planting? Maybe you can ask the teacher what the situation is and see if there is any chance to improve it. "

These words were spoken by her at the Liang family.I have never said that before.

But the Song family was not surprised at all.

Her mother was the director of the office of the textile factory and was very familiar with this aspect.

Her father was also a leader of the municipal party committee and had previously served as a leader of the Chengxi region, in charge of the agricultural and economic development there. The reason why he was labeled a capitalist roader was because some of his ideas made some stubborn people think that he was taking the dangerous capitalist road...

So it was not surprising that she had so many ideas.

Song Youliang frowned and said, "Shushu, is this the idea of ​​your team?"

"Well, don't worry,"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Brother Liang's eldest brother is the leader of our production team. He talked to the team secretary and the commune about this matter. The factory is also owned by the team. We brought the letter of introduction from the commune this time. I plan to go to my mother's factory to ask if there are any old machines that can be rented to us, and then go to the department store to see what price the finished products will be sold at in the future."

Lin Shu's words did not completely relieve Song Youliang's worries. He looked at Liang Jinxi again.

Liang Jinxi said, "This matter was my eldest brother's idea. It was my eldest brother who contacted the team and the commune. Shushu is just the factory director. He helps everyone design products, improve production technology, and make products better."

Song Youliang nodded.

Lin Shu's father was labeled a capitalist roader. Her family background is sensitive now, so she is not suitable to take the lead in this matter.

Song Youliang said, "And Fengfeng, he is now in the Lin family. The Lin family will not let him go. Even if Captain Liang goes there, I am afraid he may not be able to take him away."

The area over there is full of employees of the steel plant.

Zhou Chengzhi may get the news quickly if there is any movement.

There are also many Red Guards who dragged people around to criticize, beat and smash in the past two years.

It is not a place where reason is reasonable.

"It's okay,"

Lin Shu smiled, "I have an idea."

An hour later, Lin's family.

In the narrow and dim little hall of the Lin family

On one side of the long table sat Uncle Lin and Old Lady Lin, and around them were their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

Today was the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and the steel mill had not started work yet. Except for Lin Meilan who worked at the textile mill, everyone else was at home.

Sitting opposite them were Liang Jinxi and Lin Shu, and Fengfeng was standing next to them.

Liang Jinxi held Lin Shu's hand and said, "Shushu and I are married, and our household registration has been moved, but we haven't held a wedding banquet yet. I plan to take Shushu to the army to hold the wedding banquet. But there is one thing to deal with before going to the army, which is Fengfeng's matter."

"I heard that Fengfeng was surrounded by people several times in the city. Shushu was very worried. She wanted to take him to the military district with us, but I don't think it's appropriate for the time being, so I discussed with her to leave Fengfeng in my house first, or in her hometown of Tongan County. We will give 15 yuan a month to the great grandmother and the third uncle to help take care of Fengfeng, and there are things that Shushu's mother left with Shushu for Shushu and Fengfeng. Shushu also meant to put some of it with the great grandmother. I don't know what the great uncle and great aunt think?"

Mrs. Lin was anxious when she heard this.

She said, "Who said the city is not safe? Fengfeng lives in my house. I don't know how safe it is!"

Give all the money and things to our family, and we will raise him!
