After washing up, Lin Qiu helped serve the food and set out the dishes, which was what the original owner usually did.

Breakfast is very simple.She took a few bites and then put it down.

"I'm stuffed."

Grandma: "Why do you eat so little? Eat more?"

"No, I'm full. I'm going out to play for a while."

Grandpa: "Go. Be careful and stay safe."

"understood."

Lin Qiu came out of home and went straight to the village committee.

She is now Lin Anguo's daughter, the orphan of a martyr, and she has to go and get some benefits for herself.

She doesn't need Lin Anbang's subsidies to live well.Abandoning your eldest daughter means abandoning her, so don't buy yourself any psychological comfort by sending her living expenses.It's like sending money is no longer a scumbag.

Walking halfway, I met Gou Shengzi, a friend of the same age.

As soon as Lin Qiu saw him, this name popped up.

"Qiuqiu." Gou Shengzi shouted when he saw her. "Where are you going?"

"Go to the village committee to play."

"What's fun there? By the way, has your father left? Why didn't you go with him?"

Lin Qiu: "..." I can't tell you are quite gossipy!

Lin Anbang's return home to visit relatives is a rare novelty for this small village, and many people know about it.

"He has a new wife and a new child. He doesn't want me anymore. He gave me to my uncle. Now, my uncle is my father."

Whatever the original owner was thinking, Lin Qiu would say it.She's a little kid and doesn't need to think too much.

Gou Shengzi organized the sentences in his mind and understood the meaning. After a while, he said, "Isn't your uncle dead?"

"Yes, my uncle is a hero. He died on the battlefield."

"Then how can he be your father?"

"So, I have no father. From now on, I will be an orphan."

Gou Shengzi: "..."

He scratched his head and said, "Don't be sad about that. Having a father is not necessarily a good thing. My father beats me every day."

Lin Qiu: "!!!" You are really your father's great son.If your father hears this, you will still be beaten today!

"I'm not sad. My father died with honor."

Gou Shengzi: "..."

"I'm going home first, you can go play by yourself."

Not knowing what to say, Gou Shengzi ran away.

Lin Qiu strolled to the village committee, and the village chief was already there.

Basically, everyone in their village has the surname Lin, and the name of the village is Linjiacun.

The village chief's name is Lin Jingsheng, who is Lin Qiu's grandfather and is younger than her grandfather.

"Grandpa uncle."

"Qiuqiu. Why are you here?"

"I'll apply for the certificate for the children of martyrs."

Lin Jingsheng: "..." He knew about the adoption, but he didn't expect Lin Qiu to know about it.

"Qiuqiu, this really can't be done. The pension certificate for the children of martyrs is issued by the army. When your father died, you were not there yet."

"But I am his daughter now, so I should have it."

Lin Jingsheng: "..." There is really nothing he can do about this.If this could be done, how many children would have to be adopted to martyrs and become their children, enjoying state subsidies?

Lin Qiu knew this couldn't be done.She is not really the child of a martyr.She came for other benefits.

Lin Jingsheng: "Let me ask for you."

It's impossible to ask. If we really investigate, Lin Anbang will be implicated. He is an active soldier.Later, he married a wife and gave birth to a child, and adopted the first child to his deceased eldest brother. No matter what the reason was, this matter was easy to talk about or not.

"Can I go to school for free?"

"That's okay. If you go to school in September this year, it will be free for you. I'll tell the school."

"Can the village take care of my food?"

Lin Jingsheng: "..."

My child, if that’s not the case, can your grandparents still ignore your meal?Your biological father won't care about you either.

"Qiuqiu, without a martyr's child certificate, the village can't give you food. But don't worry, your uncle and grandpa can take care of your food."

"I also want a house."

Lin Jingsheng: "What do you want?"

"I want a house."

"What kind of house do you want? Why do you want a house? Please tell me in detail."

"I want to live by myself."

Lin Jingsheng: "...Why do you want to live by yourself?"

"Look, my grandfather has three sons. My second uncle lives by himself, and my third uncle also lives by himself. Then my father should also live by himself. My grandparents now live in my third uncle's yard. I am now my father. It’s not suitable for my daughter to live here. I have to live in my father’s house. But my father doesn’t have a house, so I asked if I could give him a house so that his daughter could have a place to live.”

She was not talking nonsense, their family had actually been separated.The house where her grandma lives now is allocated to Lin Laosan. Living here is equivalent to living with the younger son's family.

Most of the elderly in rural areas follow the eldest son, but some also follow the younger son.Lin Dashan and his wife chose to follow their younger son at that time, firstly because the eldest son was gone, and secondly because the younger son was not at home and the daughter-in-law was alone, so they could take care of each other while living together.

Lin Jingsheng knew this situation.

He glanced at Lin Qiu and thought, was this child shocked by the adoption?Although she was adopted, it was impossible for Lin Laosan to completely ignore her.There was no way the old man would let her move out as a little girl.

Is that because she is angry?It doesn't even look like it.

"Qiuqiu, the house is not a small thing. I have to let my uncle think about it. If you want a piece of candy, my uncle will take you to buy it now."

"Thank you, uncle. I don't want candy, I just want a house. Just think about it slowly. I'll come back tomorrow."

After saying that, Lin Qiu waved goodbye and left.

The original owner was a nagging person, paranoid and nagging, holding things in his heart without saying a word, causing pain all over his body.

She didn't say anything and acted as if nothing had happened. Others didn't know she was feeling sad, so they couldn't enlighten her.Lin Qiu felt sorry for this child.

When she comes, she will definitely not be stubborn. She will speak quickly and speak frankly.Let others screw it.

She is no longer Lin Laosan's daughter, and of course she does not live in Lin Laosan's yard.What's wrong with wanting a small courtyard for herself?

She believed that Lin Jingsheng would give it to her.There are several empty yards in the village.

It’s only 1952, and there are still a few good years left to live.

In the memory of the original owner, during the three-year disaster period, their place was a rare place that suffered relatively little damage.As long as the village chief doesn't get confused and doesn't engage in exaggeration, he can get by.

This is a water town with various naturally formed puddles and wetlands everywhere.We usually grow rice, but during drought periods we can plant some drought-tolerant crops.

Lin Qiu strolled home, and his grandparents went out.

She went back to her room.The room she lives in now is the west wing, and her mother used to live here.

The things inside are quite complete.There are beds, tables, cabinets, boxes, and bedding.

Lin Qiu rummaged through the box and found 38.8 yuan from the wooden box left by her mother, which must have been saved by her mother.This box has always been kept here, and the original owner has never touched it in his life. He simply regarded it as a relic left by his mother.

Now, the money is at her disposal.

Let’s go to Grandma Wenxiu to reserve a chick first.The common people’s chicken-butt bank must be opened.

My grandparents also raised chickens, but they were theirs.

As an orphan, she still has to be as self-reliant as possible.It's more comfortable and convenient to spend money this way, so you don't have to ask your grandparents for money for everything.Then he told her that it was from Lin Laosan, so she should spend it or not.She spent the money in vain.

Not long after Lin Qiu went out, his grandparents and Lin Jingsheng came in together.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Qiuqiu came to me just now and asked me if I could apply for a martyr's child certificate for her. I said I couldn't. After all, her age did not match the time of Anguo's sacrifice. She was not there when Anguo died. The army will definitely not handle it."

Lin Dashan sighed: "Children come up with whatever they want, just listen to it and that's it."

"She asked me if, as the child of a martyr, she could go to school for free. I agreed directly. It can be done."

Lin Dashan: “It’s okay if you can’t do it.”

"She also asked me if I could give her a house. This house is for An Guo. Since she is An Guo's child, she will live in An Guo's house."

Lin Dashan and his wife: "!!!" How can this child think so well?

"What did you say?"

"I said I have to think about it. I don't think this child will give up easily. If he can't get a house, he might go to the village committee to find me every day. She even told me today, think about it slowly, I will Come again."

Lin Dashan sighed again: "Although she has been adopted by Anguo, Anbang will also provide living expenses, and we will take good care of her."

Lin Jingsheng: "..." He doesn't understand.So why does it have to be adopted?If it's for incense, shouldn't we adopt a boy?Is it really like what he heard on the way here that the wife he married after Anbang cannot tolerate her?With stepmother Anbang becoming stepfather?

This is not really Lin Qiu's intention to ruin Lin Anbang's reputation, she just underestimated children's ability to spread gossip.The kid Gou Shengzi is a big mouth.

Lin Jingsheng shook his head. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. He cannot control other people's household affairs.

"There are vacant houses in the village. If Qiuqiu insists, I will give her one."

Lin Dashan nodded helplessly.

He walked around outside and heard some gossip. The child probably had resentment in his heart, which is understandable. He had not seen his biological father since he was a child, and he finally came back with his wife and two children. The family of four is completely different from the people in the village. Everyone can see that Qiuqiu doesn't like them.The new daughter-in-law is also distant and polite to Qiuqiu, and everyone can see it.

Anbang didn't offer to take her with him. They saw Anbang's dilemma and took the initiative to keep Qiuqiu, and even offered to adopt her.Did they really do something wrong?

When Lin Qiu came back, the three of them were silent.

When she saw Lin Jingsheng, she came over happily and asked, "Uncle, have you figured it out so quickly?"

Lin Jingsheng: "..."

He looked at Lin Dashan and his wife, and when he saw that they were silent, he said: "There are several empty houses in the village. One of them is closest to your grandma's house. It was the old house of a grandpa of our family. Now his family is gone." , it was taken back to the village. I’ll give that to you.”

Lin Qiu knew that place. It was a large compound across the street from her home.There are six rooms in total, separated by a wall and divided into two courtyards, inside and outside.There is only one external door.It's a nice place.

"Okay, I'm about to get there."

Lin Qiu was very happy.

Lin Jingsheng took Lin Qiu to see the house. Before leaving, Lin Qiu happily said to his grandparents: "Grandpa, grandma, I will have my own home soon. I will go and take a look first. I will tell you when I come back." .”
