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

Chapter 14



After lunch, Lin Yiyi asked Lin Dajun to bring a bucket of well water, then wrapped the rest of the meat tightly into the well water, and then took the five brothers of the Lin family out to find food. She also didn’t want to go out, but if she didn’t go out, the Lin brothers would definitely not go out, and then they watched the dowry grains decrease day by day at home together. Of course, she is going to get married in 15 days anyway, but she is not allowed to come to Xiao’s house to find her if these white-eyed wolves have no food, so now, she still takes them to find food.

Lin Dajun and Lin Sanjun were carrying empty baskets, Lin Erjun was carrying Lin Wudi in the bag, Lin Yiyi and Lin Sijun were empty-handed, one of them was a patient, and the other was the youngest other than Lin Wudi, so it was like this. The arrangement is also reasonable.

Lin Erjun: “Sister, there is no food in the nearby mountains, and the food has long been dug up.”

This Lin Yiyi knew that when the parents of the Lin family were still there, they often took them to find food, so the younger brothers of the Lin family were familiar with going up the mountain to find food. It’s just that after the parents went, they didn’t look for it, and they ate up the remaining food, so Da Ya went to sell blood.

A few villagers saw Lin Yiyi taking the brothers out, carrying a basket, and asked, “Da Ya, where are you going?”

“Da Ya, are you feeling better? Your fiancé was the one who carried you yesterday?”

“Da Ya, what does your fiancé do? He looks very tall and strong.”

Because Lin Yiyi was in a coma at the time, and the only doctor in the village also confirmed that Lin Yiyi fainted due to poor health, the villagers did not say anything about the relationship between men and women, nor did they say anything bad.

Lin Yiyi said: “My body is better today. Thanks to Dr. Lin’s medicine, I can get better so quickly. Originally, I should have thanked Dr. Lin, but at this time, my family can’t take anything to thank. Wait. In the coming year, the situation at home will improve, and I will thank Dr. Lin again.”

“Ah, Dah, you are so sensible.”

“Da Ya has always been very sensible, but it’s a pity that her parents…”

Lin Yiyi said, “Aunts, I’m taking my brothers to find something to eat, so I won’t bother you.”

“I’m going to find something to eat too. Hey, it’s a sad day just staying at home.”

“No, this continues, what should everyone do?”

In fact, in the Shanglin production team, only the Lin family’s parents starved to death, and this situation has not yet occurred in other families. The main reason is that the Lin family’s parents only have two laborers and have many children, so there is no food to save. Even if there is a small amount of food, they are reluctant to eat, so this kind of thing happened. Others, more or less, have food reserves.

If before the famine, everyone envied Lin Niang for giving birth to so many sons, how lucky they are now.

There is nothing to eat in the nearby mountains, not even wild vegetables, so we have to walk. Lin Yiyi and the younger brother of the Lin family had been walking for almost an hour. Except for the fifth brother Lin who was sleeping in the basket, everyone was a little tired. Fortunately, they had enough to eat at noon, so they didn’t lose their strength.

Lin Yiyi said: “We’ll look around here, but everyone should be careful, especially beware of snakes.” What is the scariest thing about summer? Unless the snake what else?

Lin Dajun: “Sister, we know that we will pick up a stick to lead the way.”

Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.”

They didn’t go to the deep mountains, but looked for them at the foot of the mountain. If they encountered hungry wild boars, wolves, etc. in the deep mountains, they would be finished. So they searched along the foot of the mountain, mainly looking for wild vegetables and wild fruits.

Lin Yiyi didn’t dare to walk in the front, but she didn’t want to walk in the back either, so she walked in the middle. Lin Dajun led the way, and Lin Erjun followed. They poked east and west with sticks, but they didn’t find it along the way.

Lin Yiyi saw that there was a stream over there, and said, “Go to the stream and see, maybe there are fungus, mushrooms, etc.” In fact, she didn’t know if there were any, but wasn’t it written like this in the book? Maybe there is.

Lin Dajun: “Definitely not, the weather is so hot, where did the fungus mushroom come from? That thing is only available in wet weather.”

Lin Yiyi: “Maybe there are fish, let’s go and have a look, even if not, let’s wash our feet to cool off.”

After searching for so long, everyone is indeed dead from heat. At this time, it is good to have a stream of water to wash. However, Lin Erjun said: “The water is stinky now, there is very little rain, the well water is about to run out, and the dealers in the fields are not very good.” Although Lin Erjun said so, everyone still walked over.

Lin Yiyi has never been to the countryside. Her grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents are all from the city. She was born in the 1990s. She really doesn’t know much about the countryside. I went there when I was in a farmhouse, so I didn’t have a deep experience. And now, her understanding of this era is also seen in various novels. Even if you don’t know the specifics, you probably have an impression.

When we got to the stream, the water dropped a lot, and it did emit a stench, which was a bit like the smell of a stinky ditch.

Lin Dajun said, “The water here is too shallow, so the water stinks faster. If it was deeper, it would be better.”

Lin Yiyi covered her nose.

Lin Erjun: “Don’t talk about fish, even if there are fish, they will stink to death.”

Lin Yiyi: “Wait… something is moving.”

Lin Dajun: “It’s a big ominous shrimp. It hurts to be bitten.” These children caught it when they were naughty, thinking they could eat it, but they were caught by its clips, and the pain was so painful that they couldn’t stop crying. And it’s in this kind of stinky water, and everyone is worried that it’s unclean, so they don’t eat it. Would rather gnaw on the bark than eat this.

Lin Yiyi took a closer look, and then her eyes lit up: “It’s a lobster.” Lin Yiyi knows some of the history of lobster. When she was eating lobster, there was a brochure about lobster in the shop of the lobster restaurant. She read it when the lobster was on the table. pass. The lobster was introduced into my country during the Anti-Japanese War, and it has been bred several times, so the number is very extensive. However, some rumors about lobsters on the market are false. Lobster does not like to live in places such as stinky ditch, but lobsters have a relatively strong ability to survive and can also survive in stinky ditch. In other words, when the water is still clean, the lobster is there.

At this time, many places don’t know about lobster, whether it’s in rural or county towns, plus the taste of lobster is a bit fishy and the clip is relatively strong, so everyone has never made an idea of ​​it, just like people at this time don’t like eating crabs Same.

However, Lin Yiyi knew that the meat of lobster was very strong.

Looking at the upstream of the creek, it is estimated that the water level has dropped, so the water upstream is not coming, and the lobster must have come down from above, so…there must be more lobsters above.

“Army… Second Army, do you know how to make fishing rods?”

Lin Dajun: “…I have a fishing rod at home, did my sister forget? When my father was there, he made a fishing rod for us to eat. We used to catch fish with my father before.” The fish in the rivers and lakes are not the property of the brigade, although they are It belongs to the state, but it is allowed to fish for your own food, and it is also allowed to buy and sell. Just be careful. The prohibition of speculation was clearly started in 1963. Because of the opening of the free trading market in 1962, there were many problems of speculation, so in 1963, the state promulgated a separate law to list the categories of speculation, and speculatively defined illegal activities.

After Lin Dajun said it, Lin Yiyi also remembered that when there was no meat at home, Father Lin would take his son to go fishing. Fishing was used for food, and some were sold on the black market.

Lin Yiyi said: “The second army, the second army, you go home and get the fishing rod, we will go fishing for this. The third army and the fourth army, you go dig earthworms.”

Lin Dajun: “Sister, this is really not edible.”

Lin Yiyi: “I can eat it. When I went to sell blood the day before yesterday, I saw a doctor eating it. It smelled delicious. The doctor can eat it. Can we still eat it?”

Lin Dajun was a little skeptical: “Really?”

Lin Yiyi: “If you don’t believe it, don’t eat it when we catch it. Go get the fishing rod now.”

Lin Dajun: “Okay.” He and Lin Erjun ran home.

Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun also began to dig earthworms. Lin Yiyi moved the backpack to a shady place and planned to sit down against the tree, but, eh? Her eyes widened, and she saw… wild eggs in the hay by the tree. Lin Yiyi still knows Eggs. Even if they come here in 2020, no matter how “noble” people are, it is impossible not to know Eggs. But eggs appear in this kind of place, and the haystack next to it is a bit like a nest, so it must not be a domestic chicken, so it can only be a pheasant. Lin Yiyi couldn’t tell the difference between domestic eggs and wild eggs. She only thought it was wild eggs based on her judgment and the description in the novel.

Seeing wild eggs in this place, Lin Yiyi felt that she was very lucky. It’s just that although Lin Daya in the novel is the heroine, she does not have the luck of the heroine in the novel. This novel or TV series “Elder Sister is Like a Mother” is a bitter drama.

How could I be so lucky to see a nest of wild eggs?

Lin Yiyi said to Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun who were digging earthworms: “Sanjun, Fourth Army, come here, are these wild eggs?” If so, it will definitely be discovered by the younger brothers of the Lin family. Although these younger brothers are white-eyed wolves, at this stage, it is impossible for Lin Yiyi to tear up with them. She is about to get married, and her younger brothers are still young. If she breaks up with them, others will only say that she is not good, and her younger brother is a child who is ignorant. In this way, she is the one who doesn’t take care of herself.

Lin Yiyi doesn’t want to ruin her reputation, so at present, at least until a few younger brothers grow up, she can’t tear her face. , you can also break up with them.

The author has something to say: PS: Regarding the descriptions of speculation, etc., it is all based on the Internet. If there is any improper place, please treat it as a parallel time and space in the 1960s, don’t take it seriously!
