"Xiao Jin, did you give too much today?" Li Mei asked Song Jin while washing the dishes.

Song Jin was kneading the noodles with his hands, "It's not a lot, it's normal for our family." Seeing that the noodles are almost kneaded, put them in a big pot and sit on the small stove in the middle of the pot. Tall, just right for dough.

"I'm afraid their family will have something to think about it." Li Mei said a little worried.

"That's why I want to do this. I think Nan Nan and her will have to get along for a while. What's going on now, I can see it in advance so that if there are problems in the future, it will be difficult to deal with it. Don't worry, Nan Nan will not have it." The daughter-in-law doesn't care about it, after all, if she enters our house, the whole family must be optimistic about it."

Li Mei nodded, "I think so too, let's take a good look at the two of them everywhere."

Song Jin feels that it looks okay today, but it's not so absolute. Their family's situation is special, and it's very difficult to accept someone.There are several juniors, and they will definitely find their other half in the future. If there are too many people in the family, it will be complicated, but this can't prevent the children from looking for a partner, they can only take a good look.

The next morning, Song Jin made breakfast, steamed a few drawers of steamed buns, and cooked vegetables in the pot to bring lunch for a few children, and put them in a lunch box. He used a large lunch box to fill the black pork in his space. What he didn’t bring steamed buns at noon was a steamed cake made of sweet potatoes and vine flour, with bean filling in the middle of the cake.You can't bring the steamed buns in the morning. After all, there is too little white flour and cornmeal at this time, but Li Mei and the others have two extra drawers from their own dormitory.The small stove in the house can heat up.There are a lot of dishes, and what you eat in the morning is the same as at noon, but there is a lot of meat, so you can’t have so many pieces of meat with a lunch box, so you must pay attention to it.

"Jiamei." Li Nan took her rice bag to the nurse's station and found Lin Jiamei who was writing.

"Nannan, you're here. Just wait for me." Jiamei said and quickly dealt with the matter at hand, and told the nurse who was working together, went to the nurse's lounge, took things and walked out.

"Let's go."

"Let's go to the cafeteria." Li Nan said.

"Don't go to the cafeteria today, I'll take you somewhere." Jiamei said, took Li Nan's hand and walked upstairs.

The hospital is a three-story building. The top floor was originally flat, but later the roof was covered for insulation, and an attic was formed in the middle. The attic was also used to store many things. Jiamei took Li Nan to the east attic. There is a small Room, she took the key and opened the door.

"What is this place?" Li Nan asked.

Lin Jiamei entered the room and said, "This is the rest room separated by Aunt Li. There are only two beds in the nurse station. Sometimes we sleep here when there are too many nurses. Aunt Li comes home at noon and we will have dinner here today." She said Aunt Li is the administrator of the internal affairs department of the hospital.

"Oh, that's good, I didn't know that before." Li Nan looked around the room, it was very simple, a cabinet with two beds.There is also a small table.

"Come and sit here." Lin Jiamei put the small table on the side of a bed, and took out a folding chair and put it on the other side.

Open the lunch box I brought, "Look what I brought?"

Li Nan was a little surprised when he saw that it was the stewed beef and potatoes that he ate yesterday, "Why didn't you eat it?"

Lin Jiamei smiled, "Yes, we used it to stew cabbage in the morning, it tastes delicious."

Li Nan looked at the beef that he didn't seem to eat much, smiled and said nothing.He opened his lunch box and steamed buns, "I brought steamed buns, you can eat more."

Lin Jiamei looked at the food that Li Nan brought, thought for a while and said, "Nan Nan, actually we don't need to eat such good food." In fact, food is scarce at this time, and people are reluctant to give up some good things, even though she knows that Li Nan's family is in good condition, but You can't eat like this, who knows what disaster will come that day, it's better to save more food.

Li Nan rubbed Lin Jiamei's head, "Eat, don't worry."

When Li Nan and Lin Jiamei were first dating, he also brought a lunch box to share with Lin Jiamei, but at that time Lin Jiamei told her that she was a very powerful girl. At that time, he brought a lot of food and felt that He is not a thrifty person. After talking to him, he didn't even eat, and almost broke up with him.The disaster has lasted for so many years. They are all children who grew up after the disaster. Many concepts have been established since they were young. Li Nan knew that it was hard to say anything for a while, so he simply stopped bringing those "luxury" foods that Jiamei felt were very "luxury".

Li Nan broke open a big steamed bun and handed it to Jiamei, and took the steamed cake that Jiamei brought. Jiamei’s steamed cake is made of rattan powder, and there is no sugar in it. Because the rattan bark has not been removed, it is a bit rough, which is similar to the steamed cake made at home. Cake is different, but Li Nan knows that it is most people's food.

"Don't." Lin Jiamei wanted to snatch the steamed cake back, but Li Nan dodged it. "I like it." Li Nan said and took a bite, "What's wrong with you, it won't be because you ate at our house Rice, it will change."

Lin Jiamei sighed, "No, I just--" She thought about it and didn't know what to say.

"There is nothing to say."

"Oh, I just feel that you seem to be far away from me suddenly." Originally, I thought that the two should be similar, but who knew that suddenly my boyfriend became a 'rich second generation'.

Li Nan laughed suddenly, and rubbed Lin Jiamei's hair, "You, don't think too much, what's there, in fact, we don't have anything at home." Li Nan said in a more formal voice, "Our family seems to be living a good life now. , In fact, it was all made by the uncles and uncles of the family. The elders in the family are very capable, and the whole family works together and work together. Some people who know our family may feel that my family is living like this because the elders in the family are related to the above. relationship, but who knows how hard the family members are working hard, like my Uncle Yu has been running away for the past few years, risking to exchange supplies, Uncle Zheng is gone because of this, my uncle has something to do in the city, everything he does It is the most dangerous one, with his skills, it is no problem to go hunting in the mountains and harvest a lot to support the family, the reason why he does so many dangerous tasks is to allow the family to live more freely in the city." If it is not because Uncle has helped with so many things, and the family has long been watched.Their family is just a piece of fat. If they didn't have the strength to protect it, they would have already been bitten by people.

Li Nan said that his heart is a little heavy here, and the children will slowly support the family when they grow up.

"The family has a large population and has a lot of land. However, in order to grow more food, the family opens up wasteland every year to raise livestock. In addition to the work in the market, no one is idle. It is precisely this way that the family can live more Others are good." Of course, he also knows in his heart that his family has a strong foundation, and Uncle Jin seems to have some secrets. He has a vague guess about this matter. The children in the family are always not short of food, milk powder biscuits, and many things that are no longer available outside. to eat.No matter how short of food there is outside, the family members will not go hungry.

But when he was still young, he told his father once, and his father had a very serious talk with him at that time, warning him not to talk about this matter with anyone at any time, including his future wife and children.He also told him not to guess and explore, not to be curious, sometimes being confused is the best solution.

Li Nan felt that the elders in the family might know the secret, but no one was going to break it.He didn't know if the other children knew about this, but he just remembered that home was the most important thing to them, and anyone who hurt the home would be their enemy.It is the responsibility of each of them to guard this home.

In fact, the current strength of the family members can already guarantee food and clothing. As he said, the family has worked hard to make themselves live well.

"Jiamei, I know that you are not the kind of greedy girl. I knew this from the beginning. I saw your hard work and I also understand your character. This is what I admire and like, so are you willing to be with me? Become a family with me and work hard for a better life?"

Lin Jiamei blushed when she heard Li Nan's words, and the normally straightforward girl suddenly became a little shy, "I am willing." She just felt that Li Nan's family conditions were too good and she was a little timid.

"Then don't worry about it. Now that the family conditions are good, you can eat well with me. In the future, if there are any disasters and you can't eat well, you can drink with me. The two of us share the joys and sorrows and walk together." Li Nan said Gave her a piece of meat.

Lin Jiamei's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Okay." She is not a greedy person, so she knows that Li Nan's conditions are too good, so she feels that there is a distance between the two. Now she is relieved after listening to Li Nan's words, and she It's not people who can't bear hardships, they are all children who grew up after the disaster, and who hasn't experienced suffering.

Seeing Lin Jiamei let go of her heart, eating the food very sweetly, Li Nan felt a little sour in his heart. He had a good memory, remembering the life before the disaster when he was a child. Who cared about this bowl of meat at that time, but because This bowl of meat, Lin Jiamei actually felt a little unworthy of him, which is ridiculous, but it is so realistic now. I heard that a nurse in Corey married a man 13 years older than her. The reason is that Men are now working in textile factories, and they can distribute a few feet more cloth every month, and they can also give out a few extra catties of meat because of the good benefits.

This kind of thing abounds, but Lin Jiamei is rare. That's why he likes her. This is a very strong girl. In the past, because of her beauty, many people introduced her to her, and they all had good conditions. He didn't agree, but a few nurses around him took the opportunity to marry someone.

After eating, Jiamei put away the rest of the dishes, and could continue to eat when they got home at night, and the two went back to do their own things.

"Xiao Lin, how are you and Li Nan? Did you see the parents yesterday? How is their family?" the head nurse asked.

Lin Jiamei smiled, "It's okay." She just answered one sentence and said nothing more.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the other people in the nurse's station glanced at each other, as if they knew it.

Everyone knows that Lin Jiamei rejected several good conditions and accepted hospital trainees. Many people said she was stupid. After so many conditions were so good, she finally chose the worst one. What's the use of being good-looking? Now Finding a partner depends on whether there is any surplus food in the family.

When Lin Jiamei came home in the evening, seeing that the family hadn't come back, she cooked the rice directly, then cut some cabbage, and stewed the leftover vegetables at noon.

"Hey, it's so fragrant, where did my sister get the meat?" Lin Jiacheng couldn't help sniffling when he saw the meat in the pot.

"Li Nan brought it." Lin Jiamei said.

"Hey, the conditions of Li Nan's family are pretty good. Yesterday's beef is pork today." Lin Jiacheng thought that all four of his family had jobs, so they only ate meat once a month.

"It's okay, his parents are doctors in the hospital." Lin Jiamei thought for a while and didn't mention the rest of her family.

"Really." Jiamei left home early in the morning, and he didn't ask, only now did he know that it was a doctor. "Hi doctor, I need a doctor anytime."

After a while, the parents also came back.The whole family ate while talking, "Jiamei, you have to tell Li Nan that you can't eat like this every day. If the family conditions are good, you have to have a plan and save more food. Who knows what the weather will be like next year. If the harvest is not good, you have to rely on it." Store food." Father Lin said while eating.

"Well, I'll tell."

"I think this kid's family is good, at least he's not being picky." Mother Lin said.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with teasing a little bit. It means that you will live your life. Life looks better now, but who knows what tomorrow will be like. It's better to have some plans." Father Lin said.

"It's because they have the skills. Now who doesn't have the skills, who can always eat meat." Lin Mu said.

"By the way, Jiacheng, how about your partner?" Mother Lin suddenly thought of asking.

"It's no use, her family needs five hundred catties of fine grain." Lin Jiacheng buried his head in the bowl.

"So much?" Lin's mother looked at Lin Jiacheng in surprise, "Five hundred catties of fine grains is too much, who can afford it." The fine grains mentioned here are the staple food in the past, such as rice, white flour, corn flour, soybeans, etc. Because of the change in food, the fruits of these grains are small, the yield is low, and there are few people who grow them. Not to mention that the Lin family has saved 150 catties for two years and only got [-] catties. They just want to marry Lin Jiacheng a wife.

"Didn't you get along pretty well before?" Lin Jiamei asked a little strangely.

"Silly sister, do you think everyone is as serious as you about their relationship, regardless of material things, women are very realistic now." Lin Jiacheng was also a little disheartened. He also went to his girlfriend's house to meet his parents yesterday, but their family One mouthful is five hundred catties of fine grains, which is like a lion's big mouth. He knows his girlfriend's attitude when he sees his girlfriend's silence. In order to marry him a daughter-in-law, let's empty out the family.

"I told her yesterday that we broke up." Lin Jiacheng said without raising his head.

Lin's mother thought for a while and said, "Why don't you take out the vine powder at home and exchange it for some fine grains. I'm discussing with their family, and I need less."

Lin Jiacheng shook his head, "Mom, this matter can't be done, and our family doesn't have much food. Outsiders think that our family has jobs and seems to be living a good life, but we don't have much left except for our own food. This year There isn’t much food in the field, so we have to keep some in case something happens. It’s life-saving, so we can’t take it out.”

Lin Jiacheng continued, "Parents, mom and sister, it's not easy for our family to live in such a neat way for more than ten years. Look at the family outside like ours. The family of four is fine. Most of them are ruined. I'm only in the 27th grade. It’s not big at all, maybe we can meet good ones in the future.”

"Besides, since their family is talking so much now, it is inevitable that they will not need anything else in the future. Don't make our family's life difficult."

Father Lin patted Lin Jiacheng on the shoulder, and he was very pleased to see that his son, who is usually not so steady, could say such words, "My son has really become a man, and no matter what happens in the future, you can still protect your mother and sister .” After speaking, the circles of his eyes were red.

"Old Lin, what are you talking about?" Lin's mother was not happy at first.

"Dad, don't talk about being discouraged." Lin Jiamei knew that her father said this because at the beginning of the year, her father found out that she had a tumor in her stomach. Although the examination said it was not malignant, as long as it could be removed, the conditions are too bad now. Not to mention that there is no good operating room, there is also a shortage of medicinal materials, and the risk of surgery is not small.So I haven't done it.

Thinking of her father's illness, Lin Jiamei suddenly thought of Li Nan's parents, "Dad, don't worry, I'll ask when I get to work tomorrow to see if there is a better way. And I didn't say before that it was a benign tumor, and it hasn't grown in this year, so I just don't need surgery. It doesn't affect anything."

Father Lin smiled, "I know, I'm just a little bit emotional. Our family has been through all kinds of disasters in the past ten years, and my little thing is nothing."

Here, Song Jin and the others are also preparing to eat, but today Li Mei and Zhao Feng are not at home, so Song Jin took a few children with him, "Brother, our school has a trap class." Liu Ping said as soon as he sat down.

"Oh, trap class." Song Jin cut up a large plate of beef and put it on the table. Tonight, he ate beef noodles, and the beef soup was stewed all afternoon.

"What are you talking about in the trap class?" He continued to ask.

"At the beginning of the lecture, today we are talking about the types of traps. I heard from our teacher that we will go outside to practice after the lecture."

Hearing this, Song Jin became more serious, "Go outside, I won't let you go into the woods, will I?"

"No, it should be around the city. Some people outside are going to do it. It seems that they are going to send people there. A group of people are also studying in our school classrooms. They are different from us." Liu An said.

"Well, if the edge of the city is okay, you can tell me before the practical class. If the teacher tells you to go to the woods, don't go, it's dangerous in the woods now."

"Don't worry, we know, but I don't think they will let us really go to the woods. If something happens, they won't be able to explain it," Liu An said.

"Anyway, be careful, everything is safety first." Song Jin felt that children would not be allowed to take risks in school.

"Second Uncle, I heard that we will have military training for half a year next year, and is it true that we will be recruited among our students?" Song Hao asked baldly.

"I didn't hear about the conscription. There should be military training, but I don't know if it's half a year. They're also studying it." Song Jin just couldn't hear clearly.

"What do you guys worry so much about? Do what you are told to do, and what do you want to be a soldier?" George said.

"I don't know where to recruit soldiers." Song Hao was a bit interesting before, but because his father lost his left hand, he felt that he should stay at home to take care of his father.

"You stay at home honestly, you will graduate next year, and then I will find something for you to do, such as being a soldier." George said and glared at him, "Hurry up and get rid of this idea."

"Your uncle is right. Being a soldier now is different from before. If you really have the idea to wait for your Uncle Mo to come back and let him take you with you, don't go to any messy conscription." What kind of regular army is there now? The ones recruited here are relatively formal, and some are private, which is not good.The military training in the school is actually to let them have more self-protection ability.Nothing to do with the military.
