During the Spring Festival, the whole family gathers at grandparents’ house to have New Year’s Eve dinner.

This year, everyone is very happy. Two of the children in the family have joined the workforce and have iron rice bowls. They don’t have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.

Xiao Erlinhe also entered university in 62, and graduated from the province's four-year agricultural university just in time for graduation in 4.

Lin Qiu thought that as long as he stayed in 66, stopped meddling in things, and waited patiently, the college graduates of that year would still be assigned jobs.

The mistress, Lin Hai, was left hanging. In 66, he just graduated from high school.But there are job opportunities after high school graduates.Don't worry too much.At worst, I can go home and farm.

After eating, it is supposed to keep the New Year's Eve up, but the old man is short-tempered and goes to bed after a short time.

Lin Qiu didn't want to endure it, so he proposed to go back first.

"I'll take you there." Lin Jiang said.

"No need, I can walk this road with my eyes closed."

"There is no light on the road, and there is no light in your house. I will bring a lamp over there, and I will come back when you light it."

Lin Qiu agreed.

Lin Jiang held a kerosene lamp, and under the bright light, the two of them basically walked out of the house in the dark.

Lin Jiang: "I'll bring a flashlight back next year."

Lin Qiu: "I do. I'm in my room. I forgot about having to come back in the dark at night."

Lin Jiang: "..."

The two of them moved one foot deep and the other shallow. Although the road was not muddy, it was really uneven.

"Qiuqiu, the place where I work is a machine factory affiliated to the army, did you know that?"

"I know, you wrote to me before."

"We have a very close relationship with the army. The deputy political commissar of the division, whose surname is Zhao, asked about you when he saw me."

"Uncle Zhao, I know. At first he was the political commissar of the regiment, and now he is at the deputy division level. He is my father's comrade-in-arms. I have always corresponded with him. These uncles have helped me a lot over the years."

Lin Jiang: "...I also met my third uncle."

"Oh."

After a second of silence, she said again: "Brother, what do you want to say? If you want to speak for him, stop it as soon as possible. But you don't have to worry about me when dealing with him."

"I won't speak for him. I just want to tell you that I have seen him. I am not very close to him. After all, we have never met each other."

What Lin Jiang didn't say was that his third uncle was very close to him, but he didn't want to be too close to him. He always felt that getting closer would be like betraying Qiuqiu.

When his third uncle first left, he didn't feel anything.After all, Qiuqiu has been at home since she was a child, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with staying at home.

But as she grows up day by day, as Qiuqiu moves away from her grandma's house and lives alone outside, Qiuqiu has to remember, think about, and look for opportunities to repay the help from the villagers.

He began to realize that Qiuqiu was difficult and not easy.It is natural for parents to raise their children, but help from others is a kind of kindness.Qiuqiu grew up carrying these kindnesses on her back, always thinking about paying them back, which was too tiring.

What he didn't say was that his third uncle asked him about Qiuqiu and wanted to know whether Qiuqiu was doing well.Although Qiuqiu's letters to Political Commissar Zhao are always full of joy, who knows whether she is reporting good news or not bad news.

Lin Jiang looked complicated at that time and replied:

"Third uncle, a child is living alone in the village. Just think about it and you will know how she is doing. There are many good people in our village. With some help, she can survive. Qiuqiu is strong and optimistic, even if She feels sad and sad, but she won’t show it.”

"So, how she is doing depends on what you think. If you just turn a blind eye, only look at the surface, and make yourself feel better, she will be doing fine. Besides, even if you So what if she knows whether her life is good or not? She is good, not because of you. She is bad, but it is all caused by you."

Lin Anbang fell silent at that time.Lin Jiang didn’t say any more.

To be honest, he was surprised when he saw his third uncle.Unexpectedly, the third uncle who everyone thought was living a good life in the army looked older than his father.That kind of oldness is not the wrinkles on the face, but the vicissitudes of the spirit.

He couldn't bear to say anything more.

Lin Qiu was afraid that Lin Jiang would be embarrassed, so she said specifically: "Brother, you don't need to be embarrassed, just let nature take its course."

"I know, I'll use you to teach me."

After returning to the city to work after the Spring Festival, Lin Qiu asked Lin Jiang to bring some homemade specialties to Zhao Zhijie.Lin Jiang has already gone there to work. It would be better if someone can take care of him if he can have a good relationship with him.

In the winter of 65, Lin Jiang wrote a letter saying that he was getting married.

The subject was introduced by Political Commissar Zhao’s lover Aunt Wu.The children who grew up in the compound graduated from high school and started working directly without going to college. They entered the machinery factory in the same year as Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang is a technician. She works in the logistics department. She is 20 years old this year.The two of them were considered acquaintances, and Aunt Wu made peace with her. After being together for a while, they started talking about marriage.

Lin Qiu had to sigh with emotion at this efficiency, it was so high.

After all the calculations, Lin Jiang only started working in the machinery factory for two years, and he even had a wife.

Lin Jiang said in the letter that he obtained his marriage certificate in Beijing and returned to his hometown to hold the wedding before the Spring Festival.Not only will his wife come back, but his father-in-law's family will also come back.His wife's grandparents are getting older and want to return to the countryside to live for a while.

Lin Qiu: "..." This is probably a smart person.

Before the Spring Festival of 65, Lin Jiang came back with his father-in-law and his whole family.The people who came included his wife's grandparents, parents, two brothers and sister-in-law, and the eldest brother's son.The whole family came.

So many people live in the yard newly built by the second uncle.

The second uncle's family has three sons. He has already applied for two pieces of homestead land and wants to build two yards. In the future, the children will have a place to live when their families are separated.Now, a yard has been built, which is convenient for Lin Jiang to get married.

The village suddenly became lively.This is the first time for everyone to see this kind of person who comes from a big city, has no airs at all, and can talk and laugh with everyone.

The wedding was held at the second uncle's house.The bride is married in the new yard and gets married in the old house.

The bride's name is Zhang Kexin. She looks like she has been pampered since she was a child. However, she is neither arrogant nor squeamish. She will not be dissatisfied with this or that when she comes to the countryside. Instead, she is mostly curious.

Lin Qiu has a good impression of her.Living with a girl like this shouldn't be boring.Just need to be more careful, she seems to be a real silly person (a compliment), of course, she may also be very wise and foolish.

What Lin Qiu didn't know was that in Zhang Kexin's eyes, she was also a fool.

Before getting married, Zhang Kexin's mother told her: "After you get married, you have to be more diligent and not be as lazy as at home, nor be too willful. But you don't have to wrong yourself too much. If you are really wronged, just go back to your parents' home." "

It was obvious that he really felt sorry for his daughter.

The wedding was a lively affair, and the whole village came to have a feast.After it was over, the newlyweds stayed to celebrate the New Year. Zhang's parents, brother and sister-in-law also left, while grandparents stayed behind.

Lin He and Lin Hai haven't even gotten married yet, and their families haven't been divided yet.The new yard was originally empty.Zhang Kexin's grandparents lived in the new courtyard.

Lin Qiu's guess was correct. This old man was a smart man. He realized that the situation was not right, so he retreated and went to the countryside to retire.As long as nothing goes wrong here, there won't be any big problems with his son or grandson.

As for his daughter, he wasn't worried at all.His old relatives are more thieves than him, so it's okay.

Later, among the decentralized personnel who came to the village, there was an old guy who he fell in love with and killed. Seeing this old guy living so leisurely in the village, it made me jealous.
