Chapter 51

Doudou told his father about the meticulous and tragic naval battle of Dongtuo Island, which took place six years later, and he even made it clear which troops participated in the battle and who the commander was.

"Dad, you died in this battle to save Uncle Chen Qicheng and the others. My mother was pregnant at eight months, and then I gave birth prematurely. After my mother passed away, I wore it until you were young. I turned into a child and appeared at the gate of the camp." , you picked me up, now we are all in a new round of life, I am your child from decades later." Doudou said.

"You don't have to fight. If there is a fight, Dad, you must take me with you. Father and son are united, and their profits will cut through gold. I will definitely help you win with the least casualties." Previous life experience, accumulated knowledge of military

theory He hasn't fully remembered it yet, but he recalls the part about the naval battle on Dongtuo Island very clearly.

Gu Lin's eyes were piercing, looking in disbelief at Dou Dou, who was not as tall as her chest.

It is difficult for Gu Lin, who firmly believes in materialism, to accept such a statement, but he does not think that Doudou is making up a story. After all, he explained the details of the battle so clearly that even the naval commander who personally took command may not be able to describe it in such detail.

Most of the names mentioned by his son have never been heard of by him. The name of the naval commander he mentioned is very special, and now there is a division commander with this name.

Doudou tried his best to prove that it was not his imagination, and suggested: "Just look up the names of the people I mentioned. Even if they are not in our camp, so many people should not be all coincidences." Gu Lin accepted his son's suggestion, of course

he Go back and find a way to find out whether what your son said is true.

"There is also an officer named Tang Dahai, you should pay special attention. Before he died, he was the commander of the regiment. Judging by his rank, he should be in the army now. His wrong command caused many warships to be taken away by the enemy. If it weren't for him , the casualties won’t be that great, and maybe you won’t sacrifice, Dad.” Thinking of this person, Doudou was filled with righteous indignation.

Gu Lin listened carefully to Dou Dou's words, and wrote down all the names he said. He stretched out his arms and put them on Dou Dou's shoulders, and said, "This is too unbelievable. Maybe your mother can't accept it. Let's not talk to you for now. Mom said, you are not allowed to tell anyone except me. I will go back and investigate and give you an explanation."

Dad's serious listening made Doudou feel like a little man, and he nodded obediently: "Dad, I know.

" Going back to the couple's room and looking at Lin Qiao again, Gu Lin felt her heart was so soft that it was about to drip.

He was beside her, sitting quietly on a chair, looking at Lin Qiao who was flipping through medical books and taking notes.

Lin Qiao stopped, put her right hand on her chin and said, "Look what I'm doing, I seem to have something on my mind."

Gu Lin put his hand on her shoulder, stroked the side of her neck with his rough palm, and said softly, "You have eaten a lot. Bitter."

Lin Qiao scolded: "Where the hell is it, I'm doing pretty well."

She chuckled lightly: "How can a man who is five big and three rough become sentimental."

He pulled her into his arms, bowed his head and kissed her, and asked him, "Is it true?" The general arms wrapped around her, as if to strangle her into his body.

All the regrets from the previous life turned into pity for Lin Qiao, rampant in his body, he carried her to the bed, and when his love for each other was fully released, Lin Qiao fell asleep peacefully, and Gu Lin began to think about what he had to say to him.

Tang Dahai is not his subordinate, what problem does he have? Simple command error? Does he have anything to do with the spies on Qiongya Island?

Qiongya Island has a special geographical location, and a combat preparation island is to be built nearby, which is very likely to be targeted by spies, which is why they arranged Han Wenwu to the island early.

There are two groups of spies on the island. One is a doctor from the hospital. Doctor Mu Gu is handsome and skilled in medicine. In order to conceal his identity, he even takes Lin Qiao as his apprentice and teaches her a lot of clinical knowledge. His purpose is to Collecting information on the island of combat preparation; the first wave is Li Sanmei, who contacted the Haiba water ghost who was driven to the Bay Province in the past, trying to salvage the list of spies left on the sunken Japanese ship.

After all, they had taken precautions a long time ago. Li Sanmei, a lost and found daughter, was really special. They had already set their sights on her. But because there are two groups of spies, it is difficult to identify which people have problems, figure out their contacts, and figure out their purpose.

In addition, these people must be wiped out, otherwise attacking one side first may arouse the vigilance of the other side.

They have figured out all their details and are about to collect their nets. Doudou provided more information.

Gu Lin arranged to closely monitor these people on the one hand, and on the other hand tried every means to arrange people to investigate Tang Dahai. When he learned that he had nothing to do with the Qiongya Island spies, the cleanup of the spies began.

At the end of the year, Gu Lin said that he would organize a military-civilian party. There will be a party at the end of the past two years. This time, Gu Lin asked Lin Qiao to perform with the military wife and the children in the camp.

Lin Qiao could not be said to be good at singing and dancing, but organizing cultural and artistic activities was no problem. He quickly arranged seven or eight programs including dances, revolutionary songs, and operas. hour party.

That night, a bonfire was lit on the primary school campus, and the party was held on the primary school campus.

The farm sponsored peanuts, melon seeds and various fruits, and the shipyard sponsored pastries and candies. The fishermen made mango and coconut juice drinks and carried them in buckets. The campus was very lively.

According to Gu Lin's instructions, Lin Qiao brought No. 7 and tied it outside the campus, and could help maintain law and order when necessary.

The three children in her family will perform authentic warfare and sing the revolutionary song "Dongfanghong".

To accentuate the festive atmosphere, Lin Qiao painted the faces and lips of these children red, and the girls wore red hairbands on their heads.

The kids were so excited, they ate snacks with their bellies open as they waited for the show to begin.

Gu Lin led Zhao Qiangguo and his capable men to ambush near Qiongya Island.

"Gu Tuan, will they come?" Zhao Qiangguo asked, staring at the sea without blinking.

Gu Lin looked at the sea calmly: "I will come, they want to find out the situation of the combat preparation island, and now is the best opportunity."

They don't even know if there is a combat preparation island, and where is the combat preparation island, just like headless chickens Check around.

The singing and dancing near the school was peaceful, while Gu Lin and the others quietly arrested all the spies and sent them secretly to Qiongya Island.

Everyone else is easy to say, but the most troublesome person is Patriarch Li. The lost and recovered baby girl is missing again. He must search everywhere, and there will inevitably be disturbances.

Therefore, shortly after the party ended this evening, Patriarch Li returned home, Gu Lin sent someone to invite the old couple to the office.

Gu Lin stared at the two of them, and asked: "Li Sanmei is not your original daughter, she is a counterfeit, you should know it better than anyone else."

Grandma Li has not yet recovered from the joy of the party , suddenly his face changed, he looked at her old man in a panic, and asked again: "Gu Tuan, why do you say that, isn't she our biological daughter? What about our biological daughter?" Gu Lin looked a little cold: "You

should I knew it a long time ago, but I just deceived myself and insisted on treating her as a daughter.”

Grandma Li cried and said, “We think she looks like but she doesn’t look like her. My daughter has a white birthmark on her back, but she doesn’t. She said she grew up. It's gone, we believe it."

Patriarch Li also panicked, he had a series of questions: "Then who is she? Where is our biological daughter? Doesn't she know that she is not our daughter?

" He threw a

photo over and said, "This is the real Sanmei Li. She is still alive. If you want to recognize her, she will meet you." Wiping tears from the sky, she couldn't sit still on the stool and slid directly to the ground, Patriarch Li hurriedly helped her up.

"Why does she want to pretend to be our daughter? Our daughter is fine, right?"

"Don't cry. It wouldn't be a big deal if you raised questions at that time. Your daughter is fine. This imposter just wants to collect some information about the army. Your real daughter will come back in a few days. They look similar, but their words Talking and acting will definitely not be exactly the same, you tell her to see as few people as possible, don't talk about it to the outside world, and try to make everyone think that Li Sanmei has not changed, can you do it." Gu Lin said.

The old couple were frightened and dumbfounded, and they nodded like chickens pecking at rice to promise that as long as their own daughter came back, they would definitely do what Gu Lin said, so that everyone could slowly accept the real Sanmei Li.

After seeing off the old couple, Gu Lin waited for someone to report in the office, and returned home in high spirits on the evening of the third day.

Joint operations outside the island and on the island wiped out all the spies on the line of Dr. Mu Gu and the spies on the line of Shui Gui.

He told the people in the hospital that Dr. Mugu had been transferred overnight, but he told Lin Qiao that Mugu's identity had been sent away.

He said it cryptically, but Lin Qiao was terrified after hearing it. Her master was actually an enemy agent lurking beside them.

"Don't worry, everything has been dealt with," Gu Lin said.

Even if he finds it unbelievable, he now believes what Dou Dou said, or tentatively believes that after knowing the spies, they can tell Lin Qiao what Dou Dou said.

After Nannan Beibei fell asleep, the father and son told Lin Qiao about their experiences.

To Gu Lin's surprise, Lin Qiao was more receptive to these claims. She said, "I had a few scattered dreams, and the words connected together roughly corresponded to our previous life. I dreamed that I was pregnant. , I also dreamed that my man was on a mission, but I thought it was just a dream at the time , and I thought it was just the opposite." She put her arms around her shoulders

: "Mom believes that you are my eldest son."

It's not that it's grown up, she wants to hug and hold her son high.

Doudou was very pleased with his mother's reaction. He said: "In the future, blood can be used to identify whether we are biological. When the time comes to do a personal identification, we must be related by blood."

Gu Lin wrapped his arms around the mother and son, and said: "No need to identify, Doudou, we believe you are our own son." The

three of them agreed to keep this secret, and they would not tell even South and North.

When DouDou went to sleep, Lin Qiao took the initiative to hug Gu Lin and said, "I think you are what I lost and found."

Gu Lin said, "I lost and found you and DouDou."

The two hugged each other tightly. .

——Time

flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, DouDou has finished primary school, and was admitted to the junior high school on the island. He was the first in the exam, and Xiaoshu was the second.

The teaching level of the primary school is not bad. The life on the island is simple and the pace is relatively slow. The islanders pay less attention to their children's learning. The parents of the camp's family college and the ship manufacturer's college still pay more attention to their children's schooling. After all, they can't pass the exam. In junior high school, such a young child has nothing to do.

The parents are positive, and the teachers are very serious, begging for nothing. Their goal is to send these children to junior high school.

The enrollment rate from elementary school to junior high school on the island is 80%, which is comparable to key primary schools in big cities.

Doudou has long shown a talent for learning that is different from other children.

The teacher once approached Lin Qiao and said that he had already mastered the knowledge of Doudou, and it would be no problem to skip two or three levels. However, considering that he would go to the island for boarding in high school, Lin Qiao didn't want to leave the little child alone, so he didn't agree, and let him Step by step on the ground.

But she asked Lin Zhenkai to send a lot of books to Doudou to read.

In the future, Doudou will be a junior high school student, going to the second grade from south to south and north to north.

Beibei's grades are also good, and he is among the top three in the class. Nannan doesn't like studying very much, and he has the cheek to say that he knows everything the teacher teaches, but he is too lazy to fill in the test papers.

The couple praised DouDou, and Gu Lin said, "We have to cook a delicious meal for DouDou to celebrate."

The younger brothers and sisters are very convinced by the elder brother, but the elder brother often reads extracurricular books, and usually does not read textbooks much, and easily takes the first place in the exam.

"We have to celebrate Beibei too." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin said again: "Nan Nan, you should have the cheek to eat with the eldest brother and the third sister."

Nan Nan puffed up and said, "Hmph, I will also take the first place next time."

Gu Lin said: "This is your You can do 500 push-ups every day if you don’t get the first place in the exam.”

“Is it okay to do 200?” Nannan said.

"I can't do without one, I refuse to bargain." Gu Lin said.

DouDou began to make requests, saying: "Since coming to the island, the family has not gone to the sea, can we go to the sea together?" "Okay, Dad

, you are always busy with work, we really want to go play with you "Beibei pulled her father's clothes and acted like a baby.

Gu Lin naturally agreed to this small request, and besides, he couldn't resist his daughter's acting like a baby at all, and said, "Then let's go to the sea together." The

three children immediately made preparations, brought shovels, buckets and other tools, and put on rubber shoes.

Lin Qiao went back to the house and changed her clothes. When she left the house, Gu Lin's eyes lit up and saw that she had changed into a dark green skirt. He bought it when she got married. She basically didn't wear skirts on the island. She wears trousers most of the time, and the skirt is soft and flowing, which outlines her slim waist very nicely.

Without leaving her eyes, Gu Lin asked, "Is it convenient to go to the sea wearing this?"

Lin Qiao said, "Let the children pick up seafood, and I just want to take a walk on the beach with you."

The couple seldom took a walk together, He thought that Lin Qiao still had romantic cells, but he was different. When he was resting, he just wanted to go up the mountain with Lin Qiao to gather more Chinese herbal medicines.

The three children ran ahead with flowers sprinkled, and there was Kong Kong jumping and jumping beside them. When they reached the beach, the three children immediately ran to the reef, lifted the stones and rummaged to see if there was any seafood underneath.

Gu Lin designated a range for them and said: "It's here, don't run far away." The

sky is blue and the sea is clear, and Lin Qiao's wide and soft skirt rolled up and down with the sea breeze, much more beautiful than the waves rolled up by the waves.

The couple stood side by side, walking slowly and leisurely, leaving a string of footprints on the sand.

Coming out with parents is not about picking up a lot of seafood. The three children are happily chasing and playing on the beach.

Gu Lin came back after picking a few banana leaves, and the two of them sat down on the soft sand. They didn't speak, they quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the evening, the gentle sea breeze, the soft sunshine, the warmth of being together as husband and wife, and the presence of children by their side. Be merry till the sun goes down.

When they got home, they picked up several coconut snails that were bigger than North Face.

DouDou is responsible for cleaning the coconut snails and pulling out the meat. Lin Qiao was about to slice the snail meat into thin slices, and then stir-fry it. While cutting it, she suddenly found something in the snail meat.

She took it out and examined it carefully by the light from the door and window.

"Wow, Gu Lin, look, there is a bead inside the coconut snail." Lin Qiao said in great surprise.

Gu Lin looked at his delicate and slender thumb and forefinger holding an orange-red round bead, and said, "This stuff grows in coconut snails? Is it similar to pearls growing in mussels?" "Well, it's Merlot beads

. , it is found in coconut snails, but it is very rare, and the chance of encountering it is very slim. My mother used to have a phoenix crown with Merlot beads on it, but her phoenix crown has already been handed in. This one is bigger and more beautiful than that one." Lin Qiao said happily. Lin Qiao's voice attracted the three children to the kitchen. The three of them crowded at the door and asked impatiently, "Mom, did you find the beads? It's in the coconut snail? Show us quickly." "Wow, really Beautiful beads." Beibei Aesthetic Level Online. Like his father, Nan Nan has no aesthetic vision at all: "What's so good about this bead, it's not as good-looking as glass beads." Gu Lin looked at the small gadget, he couldn't see the beauty, he only knew this thing I can't eat it.

"How beautiful a bead can be, it is definitely not as beautiful as yours." Gu Lin said.

"It's too nasty." Dudou complained.

This is the scene of his parents getting along in his dream, but he couldn't help but complain.

How many years have passed, and he is still so sweet-mouthed. Lin Qiao smiled and said to Doudou and Nannan: "You two have to learn from your father, be sweeter, and you won't have to worry about finding a partner in the future.

" Just talking sweetly in front of our mother."

Gu Lin said: "Do I rely on my words to find a partner? Of course it depends on my personal charm."

Lin Qiao said: "But you just ask, 'If you want to find a partner, can you look at me? ’, it’s not about words!”

Gu Lin: “…” The daughter-in-law still firmly remembers what he said back then.

The two of them talked about the topic and quickly understood, but Nannan and Beibei were confused, Nannan asked: "Brother, what are parents talking about?" "

You two are too young, I will tell you later. "Doudou said.

Dinner was spicy stir-fried coconut snails, stir-fried coconut snails, octopus clam vermicelli stew, and sweet coconut eight-treasure rice. The family had a lively and delicious stewed seafood feast.

On the first day of school, Lin Qiao first sent Nannan and Beibei to the gate of the primary school to pay their tuition fees, and met He Yunxiu at the gate, and after she had paid the tuition fees for Mimi, they went to the middle school together. The primary and middle schools are next to each other, and the two gates are only tens of meters away. Lin Qiao said, "Doudou, Xiaoshu, grandpa and grandpa are teachers at the school. You two should study hard and don't let him worry." "We know . "The two said in unison. When school was over, Lin Peiyuan came back with DouDou, Nan Nan, Bei Bei, Xiao Shu, and Mimi. Just as Lin Qiao arrived at the door of the house after get off work, she asked while unlocking, "Dad, how are DouDou and Xiao Shu doing?"

Lin Peiyuan was very relieved and said: "You don't have to worry about their studies. Don't look at them at their naughty age, but they are very serious in class and smart enough. The two study like a competition. If the college entrance examination is not cancelled, they will definitely Can be admitted to university."

Doudou said: "When we graduate from high school, maybe university has resumed."

Xiaoshu said: "That's great, although no matter how hard I try, my grades are worse than that of Doudou, but I think I will definitely be able to pass the exam. Go to university."

Lin Peiyuan said: "It makes sense, who can tell what will happen in the future, you all have to study hard."

Mimi is the quietest and well-behaved of the children, she is interested in Chinese herbal medicine, and Lin Qiao will usually teach it. She identified and processed Chinese herbal medicines. She regarded DouDou as an idol, and said, "I want to look up to Brother DouDou."

Lin Peiyuan praised Mimi and asked Nan Nan, who was completely uninterested in this topic, who was competing with Kong Kong to climb a tree: "You Well, you know the fewest words."

Nan Nan hugged the tree trunk with her right hand, raised her left arm to show off her biceps, and said, "But I grow the strongest and climb trees the fastest."

It happened that Gu Lin entered the yard , Seeing the second son who was proudly showing off his muscles, he walked over and stretched out his arms to pick him off the tree and put him on the ground, doing the same movement with him, saying: "Look, this is muscle, yours is fat "

Second brother, you treat fat as muscle." Hahahaha, Beibei let out a clear laugh, "Second brother still has a small belly, but no abdominal muscles."

Nannan looked at her father's strong arms, and suddenly Ashamed of himself, he said longingly, "I also want to train my biceps and abdominal muscles."

Lin Qiao smiled and asked Gu Lin, "Does Nan Nan look like you when you were a child? Grandpa named him Jinqing, but He has no gentleness at all, grandpa would never have imagined that he would be such a naughty boy." "I really didn't expect to

give him a more masculine name if you know his character is cheerful and mischievous." Lin Peiyuan smiled.

Gu Lin snorted: "He didn't inherit any of my advantages."

Lin Qiao looked at Nan Nan and smiled: "But he brought us a lot of joy. You can see how happy Beibei and Mimi are laughing."

Nannan stroked her belly and said, "Hmph, the two girls laughed at me, I don't believe that big brother I don’t have a belly like my big cousin.”

Dou Dou has a good posture, and said very reservedly: “I exercise with my dad every day, of course I have abdominal muscles, but I won’t show them to you.

” Pick it up: "I also have abs, look."

Nan Nan crossed her arms, silently covering her belly, and argued, "I'm a frog belly that every child has. When I'm as big as my big brother, I can change into a belly." into abdominal muscles."

Beibei and Mimi laughed even louder.

A few children were laughing and laughing, Lin Peiyuan watched from the sidelines, he felt that Doudou most resembled the Lin family, handsome and extraordinary, with a natural temperament, that kind of noble family son.

——For

so many years, Gu Lin has never left Qiongya Island except for missions and war preparation islands. His father, Gu Shoubei, is also the highest officer of the Northeast Station. He wants to see his grandchildren, but Gu Lin refuses to let him come.

Even if the commander of the army comes to the island, the person in this position may cause trouble for the spies. After clearing the spies, after a while, Gu Lin invited his parents to come to the island. The old couple quickly made arrangements to come to the island to visit the young couple. family.

Chapter 52

Doudou mentioned Tang Dahai, an officer who made a mistake in command. Gu Lin didn't know him, and he didn't know the unit he was in. What's more, Doudou talked about the future and didn't provide any clues. He is not qualified to investigate others with his position.

He went to Gu Changting and said that someone had reported Tang Dahai, and in order to protect the informant, he could not provide any information about him.

Gu Changting attached great importance to his grandson's words, and immediately went to investigate Tang Dahai, and found out that he was a spy lurking among the officers and soldiers of the eastern coastal defense.

The soup sea was quickly cleared.

After receiving the feedback, Gu Lin immediately told Dou Dou about this matter, and Dou Dou said: "Only I know the most about the naval battle of Dongtuo Island. After Tang Dahai died, he was treated as a battle hero. His relics and deeds are also on display in the museum. I I have never understood his confusing command, but now it makes sense. Without him, our casualties would be smaller."

Gu Lin is very pleased, he feels that the eldest son has grown up, and the two can now talk like comrades-in-arms .

——These

days, Lin Qiao and his wife prepared a room for the old couple, prepared all kinds of dried seafood, mushrooms, etc., and waited for the old couple to go to the island.

It was Tuesday, and the three children were all in school. Gu Shoubei hadn't seen his daughter-in-law yet. After going to the island, of course he went to the hospital to see his daughter-in-law.

In addition, it is also necessary to express the importance to her and the approval of marriage.

Gu Shoubei is five points like Gu Lin. He is tall, and his aura is as calm and cold as Gu Lin. Even though he tried his best to look kind, he still couldn't hide his superior aura.

Especially when the accompanying staff called Gu Shoubei the commander, Lin Qiao: "..."

Maybe she didn't want to make her nervous, last night Gu Lin also said that his father was the teacher commander.

"Dad, Mom, I'll take two hours off, let's go for a while." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Shoubei's vision of seeing people is stronger than Gu Lin's. He thinks that Lin Qiao is gentle and decent. No wonder his son likes her.

She is so good that people can directly ignore her status as a descendant of a capitalist. Gu Shoubei patted her on the shoulder and said, "No, you are busy, let's go around." Zhou Shu said, "We have to go to

Gu Lin's office to sit for a while. " " After seeing the daughter-in-law first, then went straight to the camp, Gu Shoubei said: "It's rare that our third son has a good eye, and

I'm still worried that he's messing around."

See if your son is still tense, just like an ordinary father and grandpa." Zhou Shu told him.

Lin Qiao went home immediately after get off work, and had already prepared all kinds of ingredients for lunch, just fry and fry them.

After school, the three children didn't delay at all, and ran home immediately, met Gu Lin and the other three on the road, and came home together.

It was only after seeing the three children, Gu Shoubei, that he relaxed. If he hadn't been able to come to the island before, he would have seen his grandchildren a long time ago.

These three children all look good-looking, like a thriving bamboo.

He looked at the bag carefully: "It really looks like Gu Lin."

Gu Lin couldn't help hinting crazily: "He is Lin Qiao's and I's biological son."

The dinner was made of the best ingredients, steamed Dong Xing Ban, abalone stewed chicken , stewed tofu with conger eel, sea cucumber with scallions, etc.

After a lively dinner, Gu Shoubei listened to the Battle of Doudou River and Changjin Lake, including the decision-making, deployment, and process. He is the smartest child in my life, he is only in his teens, he is not only familiar with the process, but also has a deeper explanation of the outcome and impact than experts and scholars.”

Gu Lin and Lin Qiao now believe in Dou Dou’s words that he is from the future, Gu Lin is very proud : "My son will definitely have talent, and I often ask him for advice now."

Nannan and Beibei can only admire the eldest brother.

Gu Shoubei said again: "You have to train him well, but the education conditions on your island are not as good as ours in the Northeast, let alone the old man's. Either I take the bag away, or send him to the old man. There are famous teachers to teach him." , he will definitely be a rare talent in the future."

Doudou didn't want to leave, so he quickly looked at his parents.

Gu Lin immediately refused. His son was an expert in the previous life, and he will definitely be an expert in this life, so there is no need to deliberately train him. He said: "We are reluctant to part with DouDou, so we must keep him by our side." Only then did DouDou heave a sigh of relief

.

It's a pity that it's not the winter and summer vacations, the three children have to go to school, and the old couple stayed on the island for seven or eight days and returned to the northeast station.

——Han

Wenwu is no longer needed on the island. He wants to leave Qiongya Island first. In name, his superiors think that Lin Peiyuan no longer needs special surveillance, so he transfers Han Wenwu back to Qingcheng to continue working in the Institute of Architecture.

Lin Peiyuan didn't know his hidden identity at all, but thought that being on the island for so many years was delaying him. Han Wenwu's acting skills are excellent, and he said with emotion: "You have been my exclusive teacher these years. The teacher has taught me what he has learned in his life without reservation. If he hadn't left Qingcheng with him, he would have never had this learning opportunity. Leaving the teacher , I feel that I have lost my guide and direction, and I feel very sorry." Lin Peiyuan said to him: "Don't underestimate yourself, there is no end to learning, and you will learn all by yourself in the future. Now you are capable of doing any project and writing articles." Han Wenwu Respectfully said: "Thank you teacher for your support. I am naturally incompetent, and I have only learned the surface from the teacher. I still want to stay on the island." " Of course I have to leave as soon as possible." Lin Peiyuan said. "I heard that many people have been rehabilitated and returned to the city. The situation will definitely get better and better. I will appeal to the teacher after I go back." Han Wenwu said. Lin Peiyuan said: "No, it's about my status. Appealing is useless, and it may affect you. You are not young anymore. After returning to the city, work hard, marry a wife and have children."

Han Wenwu's throat was blocked, he was sincerely sad and moved, and it was difficult to say a thousand words.

Lin Qiao prepared a large bag of special products for Han Wenwu to take home, and the latter said, "Thank you sister and brother-in-law for taking care of me for so many years, and bringing me so many special products. I don't have to prepare them myself." Lin Qiao said:

" Why are you being polite to us, we still have to thank you for taking care of my dad, you have not been with your family all these years, hurry up and write us a letter to report your safety when you get home." ——

Lin

Peiyuan was finally rehabilitated and returned to the city.

It's really refreshing for a happy event. The old man who was originally unknown suddenly glowed, his back was straight, and the wind was blowing under his feet when he walked, and he felt several years younger in an instant.

He didn't have a lot of luggage, and Lin Qiao prepared a pack of special products for him to take back. He was afraid that he would be heavy, so he only took some of the most essential dried sea cucumbers, dried abalones, matsutake slices, morels, and the like. Dried bananas, dried shrimps and other snacks that can be eaten directly for Xiaofu.

He Yunxiu made new clothes for the old couple.

She had been looking forward to Lin Peiyuan's return to the city, but now Lin Qiao was quite reluctant. The five children were even more reluctant than her to leave their grandfather. They ran to Lin Peiyuan's place after returning from school and kindergarten.

The day before departure, everyone had to have dinner together in the evening. Both Gu Lin and Lin Huaixuan had work to do, but they both brought seafood home. Gu Lin brought back mackerel and geoduck, and Lin Huaixuan brought nine Shrimp.

Lin Peiyuan came early in the afternoon, and Lin Qiao asked, "Dad, what are your plans when you go back to the city?"

Living on the island for so many years, Lin Peiyuan has a lot of things to do: "I should resume work after I go back. Books that have been written for many years are best published, and you will retire in a few years."

"Dad, Mom was always worried about your poor life on the farm, and asked various relationships to make your life better, but this time you returned to the city , She is also running around in many ways, she may not speak very nicely, but she has always missed you, she is the person who cares about you the most, and looks forward to your return to the city more than anyone else." Lin Qiao said.

These years, Lin Peiyuan and Xu Manzhi had no correspondence, it was Lin Qiao who wrote letters to contact her mother.

"I know all this. In our situation, once we get divorced, many of them really leave. I'm afraid they will be implicated. There are not many people who are as loving and righteous as your mother. Your mother must have had a hard time for so many years. .” Lin Peiyuan said.

"You guys will remarry, right? If you say something nice to my mother, she should be willing to remarry." Lin Qiao said.

"I will remarry your mother when I get my job done." Lin Peiyuan is looking forward to a peaceful and peaceful life in the future.

"If you care more about my mother and say more good things, my mother will be very happy. She is easy to please." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Peiyuan said with emotion: "My life with your mother is a mess. I didn't set a good example for you, and my children are doing well. You are all in harmony with each other, so your mother and I can rest assured. Besides, we have been together for so many years

. The stability of the family is all thanks to Gu Lin, no matter how much thanks I say, I will be honored, and you can live a good life with him." Lin Qiao nodded: "Dad, I know."

Lin

Peiyuan said again: "In fact, I have been I am very worried that it will affect Gu Lin's work and future, and now our family's situation will not affect him, and now we can all let go of our worries and live a relaxed life." As soon as the grandfather came, the three brothers and sisters went to find He Yunxiu, and at this time the

five children Entering the yard with He Yunxiu, Xiao Shu shouted loudly: "Grandpa, go catch the sea. When you go back to Qingcheng, your home is far from the sea, and you may not necessarily go to the sea." "Go, Grandpa." Several children

together Begging.

"Grandpa, I don't want you to leave." Beibei said, her big eyes flickering, and she was about to drop golden beans.

After all, the little girl was soft-hearted, and Mimi also said: "Grandpa, I can't bear you too."

The three men were more reserved.

Looking at the five grandchildren who grew up like bean sprouts, Lin Peiyuan was filled with emotion, the feeling of his grandson wrapping around his knees was really good.

I don't know when I will see these little guys again in the future.

"I also miss you, let's go to the sea together." Lin Peiyuan said.

He Yunxiu watched the children more carefully than Lin Qiao, she didn't worry about so many children going to the sea with their grandfather, she said: "I will go with you."

Lin Qiao knew that they would not come back too early, so she said: "Then I will stay Cook, you guys try to come back as early as possible, for dinner I will make matsutake stewed abalone chicken, Xiaoshu and Doudou, please kill a chicken for me first." Xiaoshu opened the door of the chicken coop, walked into the narrow chicken

coop, sprinkled a handful of corn kernels , While the rooster bowed its head to eat, with sharp eyes and quick hands, it was steady, precise and ruthless, and easily caught a rooster.

Doudou brought boiling water and poured it on the chicken, and the two of them plucked the chicken while it was still hot.

He Yunxiu smiled and said, "It seems that they work more efficiently than us."

Lin Peiyuan was very pleased to see the two grandsons. They have good academic performance and strong survival ability, and they can do everything.

After cleaning up, they set out to catch the sea.

When a group of people came back from the sea, they held up two sea chariots much bigger than his hands and said, "I'm lucky today, I picked up two super large sea chariots." In addition to abalone chicken, Lin Qiao also made roasted blue and white

flowers Fish, garlic vermicelli, fresh shrimp stew, and stir-fried geoduck. She said: "It is not convenient for grandpa to eat such fresh seafood when he returns to Qingcheng. Dinner is mainly seafood. The sea chariot is the freshest and sweetest. Let’s eat it steamed.”

Doudou skillfully cleaned the sea chariot, poked it in the tail with chopsticks, and complained while doing it: “My mother has been cooking seafood for many years, but she saw this kind of ugly fish. The big shell, hard and fierce seafood is still frightening. My dad used to do the seafood handling, but now I do it." Nan Nan raised his hand and said, "I can do it too."

Lin

Qiao didn't like it. Feeling ashamed but proud, he said: "But my seafood cooking level is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Xiaoshu said: "Yes, my aunt cooks the most delicious seafood."

Mimi said: "I love to eat the food made by my aunt, and I also like to eat the food made by my mother."

Nannan said: "That is, the food made by my mother is the best."

Beibei said: "I have never been to a restaurant, but they It is said that my mother is better than the chef."

Doudou said, "That's true, my mother's level is the best in the world."

He Yunxiu and Lin Peiyuan laughed at the side.

Lin Qiao said, "Okay, you guys, don't brag, the food won't taste good if you brag that I'm under pressure and can't perform well." When

dinner was about to be ready, two busy people, Gu Lin and Lin Huaixuan, entered the yard.

Doudou said: "Father and Uncle came back by a coincidence, just in time for dinner."

After dinner, Lin Peiyuan and Gu Lin went to Doudou and Nannan's room alone to chat.

Lin Peiyuan said: "You have been the head of the regiment since you were 28 years old. You have been responsible for the important work of building and guarding the island for so many years. You have won several medals, but your position is still stagnant. There is no normal promotion. I’m so sorry.”

Gu Lin didn’t care at all, and said, “Dad, my job is quite special. I came here in the name of being assigned to guard a deserted island. It’s normal not to be promoted. I value the position."

Lin Peiyuan felt guilty: "You have a bright future, but you are more open-minded, but you are always embarrassing."

Gu Lin said: "Assuming an important job, with Lin Qiao and three children by my side, I I just think it's good."

"I'm glad you can think so." Lin Peiyuan said.

Anyway, he thinks that he has a job he loves, that his children are around his knees, and that his family members are healthy and safe.

Gu Lin bought him a train ticket a few days in advance, and early the next morning, Lin Peiyuan followed the landing craft and set off to leave the island in high spirits.

Bathed in the rising sun, he waved goodbye to his children and grandchildren. Looking at the rays of light from the rising sun, he thought that the light of the Lin family had also come.

——

He had imagined countless ways to meet Xu Manzhi again, maybe unfamiliar, maybe awkward, or happy, maybe he would get familiar again soon, but his imagination was too lacking, no matter what he would never have imagined that Xu Manzhi would actually "Amnesia", she couldn't recognize him, didn't know him, when he repeatedly stated that he was Lin Peiyuan, she thought he was a fake.

The only thing that made him feel gratified was that Xu Manzhi still kindly "taken in" him. There were four rooms in the house, originally Lin Huaixuan and his wife lived in one room, Xiao Fu lived in one room, Xu Manzhi lived in one room, and kept one room. The house serves as both the living room and the kitchen. Long before he came home, Xiao Fu lived in the same room with Xu Manzhi, and specially packed out a room for him. However, other things went smoothly beyond his imagination. First, he resumed his original job, and then implemented the policy to repay the wages for so many years. On the day he went to collect his wages, Xu Manzhi waited for him at the door of the unit, and when the two walked to a place with few people, Xu Manzhi immediately asked, "How much is the reissue?" She understood the policy on returning people back to the city, so she naturally hoped that Lin Peiyuan could get back all his things. Lin Peiyuan was very excited, he stretched out an index finger: "This number." "More than a thousand?" Xu Manzhi asked. "Multiple zeros." Lin Peiyuan said. Xu Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief, the Lin family hadn't seen such a large sum of money for a long time. He has rations every month, so he didn't get paid the full salary, roughly less than 70%, more than 10,000 yuan, which can be said to be a surprise. In addition, the missing years are counted as years of service. He feels very satisfied and has nothing extravagant to ask for in his work. More important than money, he was readmitted by the organization. Lin Peiyuan said: "In these years, I have rations, and my daily expenses are not much. Huaixuan and Lin Qiao are helping me. I plan to share the money with them." Xu Manzhi said: "The two of them also have money on hand . Let's save this money for them." The couple strolled to the butcher shop at the vegetable station, bought chicken and fish, and cooked a sumptuous meal to celebrate.

The work is on the right track, but there will always be shortcomings. He only wants to go back to the city. He thought he would live a peaceful and peaceful life after returning to the city. Xu Manzhi's denial of him made him extremely distressed.

Soon, Lin Peiyuan sent a letter to Lin Qiao. Now that he has been rehabilitated, the letters no longer need to be reviewed, and Lin Qiao can write letters and send things to his family to keep in touch.

The letter wrote: "All I want for the rest of my life is to go back to Qingcheng, spend my old age with your mother, and live in peace and stability from now on. Your mother has been working hard and working hard for me to return to the city, so I can also return to Qingcheng a few years earlier. City, I am so grateful and willing to spend the rest of my life to make it up to her. Then, your mother doesn’t know me at all!” “

The person your mother misses is Lin Peiyuan, but she can’t remember or recognize me as Lin Peiyuan, she said I fooled him as a fake, I was erased from his memory. You must think like me that something is wrong with your mother's body or mind, no, she is very healthy, remembers everyone and everything, except me .”

Between the lines, it can be seen that Lin Peiyuan is troubled.

Lin Qiao and Lin Huaixuan got together to study the letter.

Lin Huaixuan said: "To put it bluntly, our mother doesn't recognize our father."

Lin Qiao laughed unkindly and said, "Since my mother is in good health, there is nothing to worry about.

" Come out?" Gu Lin said, "Look at how anxious your father is!"

But the daughter-in-law couldn't stop laughing, and he was also moved to curl the corners of his lips.

Lin Qiao said: "I am the one who cares most about the relationship between my parents and my mother. The eldest brother and the second brother are not very sensitive to these things. Mom has been fighting with Dad for 30 years and has always been troubled. Maybe it's because Mom is discouraged now. Yi Leng is too lazy to talk to Dad, I suspect that our mother is deliberately pretending not to recognize Dad."

"It's possible." Lin Huaixuan said.

He Yunxiu was very surprised: "Our mother can still do this?"

"How do you reply to this letter? Dad is still waiting for our ideas." Lin Qiao asked.

Gu Lin said: "Let our dad behave well."

Lin Huaixuan took it very seriously and said, "Just write in the letter and suggest that our dad cook more meals, take mom to the movies, write poems to mom, go to the beach to watch the sunrise and sunset together, and raise more narcissus and wintersweet indoors in winter." Maybe mom will remember him."

Lin Qiao took out the letter paper and said, "Okay, I will write like this, but they are both in their fifties and sixties, can they still do these romantic things?"

Lin Peiyuan said, "Now Dad may not have such thoughts, but when he was young, he was a romantic and talented person, and we can't even imagine what he can do."

Gu Lin said: "I have goosebumps. Lin Qiao, do you want to be romantic?"

Lin Qiao wrote He wrote back and said: "I am concerned about whether our family is full every day."

Lin Peiyuan received a reply soon, and he could only ask for help like a child. She doesn't recognize you according to the husband's standard that I expect in my heart, you must behave well..."

Not even a word of consolation.

Lin Peiyuan: "..."

What kind of girl is this!

Chapter 53

Lin Peiyuan's architect's book manuscript has been completed, and the publishing house has published few architectural books in recent years. Now that publishing work is gradually resumed, contact him immediately to discuss publishing matters, and he took the manuscript to the publishing house.

The editor-in-chief Wang of the publishing house is his friend for many years. After flipping through his manuscript, he said: "Director Lin, we have received a manuscript on the history of architecture and want to publish it. I know you are writing a book on the history of architecture, so I want to I would like to ask about your situation. But I just took a rough look and found that your manuscript has many similarities with that manuscript in the first half."

Lin Peiyuan's expression moved slightly, and he immediately remembered that he had "loaned out" the manuscript, and put After repeating the old story, he said, "Is the author of that manuscript surnamed Hao?

" It is very famous, or other publishing houses do not come out to get it from our publishing house. I have long found that the second half of the manuscript is not up to standard compared with the first half. What happened."

"Can I read Hao Jian's manuscript?" Lin Peiyuan asked.

Generally speaking, they would not show the manuscripts brought by the author to others, but the two had been friends for many years, and Editor-in-Chief Wang gave him the manuscripts.

Lin Peiyuan flipped through it casually, and scolded: "It's really shameless. He must have copied all my manuscripts and then specially modified them. Two-thirds of the content can be seen to be plagiarized. You see, these are all from my manuscripts. Opinion."

"Really, according to the level of the second half of his manuscript, it seems that these are not written by him himself. It's really ridiculous. I have been publishing for so many years and I have never encountered such a thing. Funny and ridiculous." Wang The editor-in-chief completely and absolutely trusts Lin Peiyuan. He originally had some doubts about the manuscript, but now he can fully explain it.

He didn't hesitate or doubt.

"How does your publishing house handle this situation?" Lin Peiyuan asked.

Editor-in-Chief Wang and Lin Peiyuan have a very close friendship. Besides, he is very upright, without any hesitation, he immediately swore to promise: "Of course it will not be published, and the publishing house will not help the evildoers. We are usually very tactful when rejecting manuscripts. This time I will directly contact He explained his problem."

"Old Wang, I want to save him some face and don't go directly to his superiors, so please pass me a message and tell the other party that if he insists on plagiarizing and publishing, his superiors will immediately know how bad he is. Behavior." Lin Peiyuan thought for a while, and chose a softer way to deal with it.

"Don't worry, Lao Lin, I will be the middleman, and I will definitely bring this word. Our publishing house will never accept his manuscript." Editor-in-Chief Wang said.

On the way home, Lin Peiyuan was full of emotions. If he hadn't returned to the city, would the plagiarized work have been published?

It was Xu Manzhi who helped him run before and after running, so that he could be rehabilitated in advance.

He is now full of love and emotion for Xu Manzhi.

After returning home, the son's family of three returned to her mother's house, and Xu Manzhi was cooking lunch.

"Manzhi, thank you for running for me so that I can return to the city early. I know what you have done for me. I will use the rest of my life to make up for you and repay you." Lin Peiyuan said gratefully.

Hearing such an emotional voice, Xu Manzhi was very surprised: "Which one of your muscles is wrong, you just said these words when you came back, I got goosebumps all over my body, Lin Peiyuan wouldn't say that." She glanced at his

hand After taking the manuscript, Xu Manzhi asked again: "How is the publication going?"

Lin Peiyuan looked at Xu Manzhi, firmly believing that she did not have amnesia, and she cared about him. This is not an opportunity, so he can just look at her as a show of weakness Reaction.

So he told the story in a regretful tone.

While talking, he looked at Xu Manzhi for a moment, but the other party didn't respond!

Did she really lose her memory?

Don't care about him at all!

Xu Manzhi was calm, but a small flame of anger had already ignited. Lin Peiyuan must have suffered a lot during his devolution. Who is so brazen and capable to plagiarize other people's manuscripts for publication!

Is there any reason.

Now that the situation of the Lin family is not what it used to be, she doesn't have so many scruples about Lin Peiyuan's redress, and the general environment is much more relaxed. She will definitely seek justice for Lin Peiyuan!

"What unit does that person work in?" Xu Manzhi asked in a deep voice.

"Urban Construction Division of the Construction Bureau of other provinces." Lin Peiyuan replied.

After only asking this question, Lin Peiyuan stopped talking to Fangfang, so Lin Peiyuan had no choice but to say to himself: "Manzhi, what do you think?"

"Eat." Xu Manzhi said.

Lin Peiyuan had no choice but to get a bowl of rice and said, "Okay, let's eat."

After lunch, seeing Xu Manzhi changing clothes and combing her hair, wearing leather shoes and a shirt, and tidying herself up, Lin Peiyuan asked, "Would you go?" Where?"

"To the vegetable stand." Xu Manzhi said.

Lin Peiyuan looked at her as if she was going to buy vegetables. He deliberately brought a vegetable basket from the corner and said, "Here." "

No." Xu Manzhi didn't even look at him at all. She went directly to Editor-in-Chief Wang's house to look for him. Editor-in-Chief Wang was very surprised: "Mr. Xu, you must

have something to do. Come in and have a seat."

Xu Manzhi was surprised when he came to the door suddenly.

"About Lin Peiyuan's manuscript." Xu Manzhi said directly.

Editor-in-Chief Wang's daughter-in-law brought two cups of tea and said enthusiastically, "It's been a while since I saw you, and it's finally come to my house. Sit down and talk slowly."

Xu Manzhi sat down and said, gently He took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that my family's Lao Lin's manuscript was plagiarized. The manuscript is my family's Lao Lin's painstaking efforts for more than ten years. I am quite worried about him. I will go to the publishing house first. If no one is there, I will come to your house to ask you about the situation." .”

"Mr. Xu, I told Lao Lin that I would not publish that book. If the publishing house actually publishes a plagiarized book, it would be a big shame! I will also be responsible, and it will become a stain on my career. , I feel lucky now." Editor-in-Chief Wang said. Xu Manzhi believed what he said, and said: "Editor Wang, since you said that you will not publish plagiarized books, I am relieved. During his release, Lao Lin lived in a thatched cottage, did farm work during the day, and wrote and revised books by lighting kerosene lamps at night. , Ten years of sharpening a sword, expending a lot of energy and painstaking efforts, and ruining my eyes, it would be unacceptable for such a work to be plagiarized." Saying this, Xu Manzhi felt even more sorry for Lin Peiyuan. She kept telling herself to be as firm as a rock, but she couldn't do it. "Old Lin is an authority in the field of architecture. There is no doubt about it. The books he wrote must also be authoritative. Now that Lao Lin has returned to his original post, he is the director of the Institute of Architecture. He has the ability to ensure that his books will not be plagiarized. You don't have to do it for him. Worry." Editor-in-Chief Wang said confidently. Editor-in-Chief Wang resolved Xu Manzhi's doubts in a few words and calmed down her angry mood. After leaving Editor Wang's house, Xu Manzhi's footsteps were much lighter. Now Lin Peiyuan is indeed capable of solving the problem, so she doesn't need to run around. Back home, Lin Peiyuan was reading the manuscript and waiting for her to come back. "Food." Lin Peiyuan saw that Xu Manzhi was still only carrying a satchel, and his hands were empty, but his expression was rare and relaxed. "Go and buy it." Xu Manzhi said. Lin Peiyuan closed the manuscript, locked it in a drawer, picked up the warmer, poured water into the teapot, and asked as he poured it, "What dish do you want to eat? I'll make it for dinner. " I like food." Xu Manzhi said. Lin Peiyuan took the net bag and said: "I'm leaving, I'll see if there is any lotus root for sale, and make your favorite lotus root slices." Xu Manzhi said: "I want to eat bad fish fillets." It's already three or four in the afternoon One o'clock, it is difficult to buy fresh fish at this time, she said so on purpose.

Lin Peiyuan took the net bag out of the drawer and said patiently: "I'll go to a few more places to see if I can buy fish."

Lin Peiyuan went out and closed the door behind him.

Xu Manzhi leisurely stood by the window with a cup of tea, watching the back of the second young master of the Lin family walking towards the gate, feeling a lot of emotion.

It is good to have the experience of delegating. Lin Peiyuan used to be unruly and unruly, but now he is much more docile. In the past, he would never go to places like butcher shops, vegetable markets, and vegetable stands, but now he goes shopping like an ordinary old man; before, he asked his servants to teach his three children how to cook, but he absolutely refused to go to the kitchen, and now he knows how to cook all kinds of meals Do it, the workmanship is not bad.

If it can last forever, such Lin Peiyuan is not bad.

As if sensing that someone was following him, Lin Peiyuan suddenly stopped and turned around, and saw Xu Manzhi standing at the window facing his direction.

The other party was quiet and elegant, and his figure was covered by the simple window lattice, like a painting.

Their eyes met, the teacup was on Xu Manzhi's lips, and her hand holding the teacup was still. Two seconds later, she returned to the table and sat down. Lin Peiyuan turned around and walked to the first courtyard, where his figure disappeared.

During dinner, Xu Manzhi made up his mind to inform Hao Jian's work unit, but this was Lin Peiyuan's matter and he had to discuss it with him.

The family reached an agreement to go to Hao Jian's work unit.

Xu Manzhi said: "I'll contact his workplace."

Lin Peiyuan doesn't need his wife to stand up for him now, so he said: "Manzhi, please write more before and after you help me, I will contact him myself, and I will inquire about his workplace. Leader, write to him and make a phone call.”

——This

Monday, after lunch at noon, Hao Jian came to visit Lin Peiyuan’s office.

"Director Lin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong." The other party put a luggage bag of cigarettes and alcohol on the table.

Hao Jian's position as section chief was dismissed and he was seconded to a rural unit. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem and the strength of the other party.

Maybe he will be seconded for the rest of his life, and he is even worried about being fired.

"I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, so I copied your manuscript and wanted to publish it after I revised it. I was wrong. I was eager for quick success and instant benefit, and I was eager to make some achievements. I didn't consider the consequences. I have already brought the manuscript back. It will not be published. You are a highly respected senior, I beg your forgiveness." Hao Jian said.

He was lucky, thinking that Lin Peiyuan would not be rehabilitated at this time, as long as he published the book first, then his book would come first and Lin Peiyuan's book would follow, and he would be the original author of course.

The other party stood at attention and stood in front of the desk with his head down, with a sincere and urgent attitude, like a primary school student who did something wrong.

Lin Peiyuan was deeply surprised. He expected in his heart that it would take a lot of effort to identify plagiarism, plagiarism, and reference of manuscripts. The other party will argue that the historical facts are the same, that the structure coincides with each other, and even deny the borrowed manuscript.

Because I returned to my original job, these problems were easily solved.

The other party must have never thought that he would be rehabilitated and return to the city at this time.

"I hope you can publish it, so you know the consequences. You will lose your job and ruin your reputation." Lin Peiyuan's voice was flat, without any tone, and full of deterrence.

The other party began to sweat on his forehead, and his voice began to change: "Director Lin, I know I was wrong."

He took out a stack of papers from his purse and said, "This is my manuscript, I will tear it up now, I'll tear it up, I'll tear it up...Director Lin, please let me go." He

began to pretend to be pitiful and play the emotional card, saying: "My parents are poor, and their clothes are patch upon patch for me to study It's not easy, I finally got my current job, I was wrong, I was wrong. I have been dismissed, can you keep my job, don't fire me!" He looked like

crazy, tore up the manuscript, and then left and right , slapped himself twice.

"You don't need to negotiate with me anymore, just pick up the shredded paper and go." Lin Peiyuan watched his performance blankly, and then said.

"Director Lin, you are magnanimous and don't care about your juniors. I will never forget your great kindness." Hao Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily.

He squatted down, scratched and touched in a panic, randomly picked up the pieces of paper on the ground, randomly stuffed them into his backpack, apologized and thanked in haste, and then fled.

During dinner in the evening, Lin Peiyuan told his family about the outcome of the incident. He said, "Hao Jian used to be the chief of the section, but now he is seconded to a rural unit. He has already apologized to me, and I decided not to pursue it further."

Of course Xu Manzhi was happy. With such a stain on the other party, the future should be gone. Thinking of this, she felt elated.

——

Lin Qiao received a letter from Xu Manzhi, which mentioned a big event, it is said that the college entrance examination will resume.

It's August now, Lin Qiao and the others didn't get any news on the island, but Xu Manzhi said that according to the gossip, the college entrance examination will resume this year, and there will be a round of examinations at the end of the year.

Lin Qiao was terribly surprised. She hadn't had an exam for ten years, and she and her classmates only settled down for work after one year of graduation. Unexpectedly, the college entrance examination would be held again.

Because the college entrance examination was going to resume, Xu Manzhi had a proposal.

She said that it was inconvenient to go to high school on the island. Xiaoshu has already passed the high school entrance examination. She can transfer Doudou and Xiaoshu to Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School to study. It is close to home and it is convenient to walk to and from school. Study abroad in high school.

More importantly, Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School is a key middle school in the city, and being admitted to Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School means that there is a greater chance of being admitted to a university.

It is indeed a problem for the two children to go to high school.

There is no high school on the island. First, the number of students is small. Second, even if a high school is built regardless of the number of students, the teaching staff cannot keep up. It is certainly not as high as the teaching level of schools outside the island.

Students on the island with good grades all go to Rongcheng to study in high school, and all live on campus.

The camp will arrange landing boats to pick up and drop off these children to and from the island. At the beginning, pick up and pick up once a week, but the school only has one day off every week, so it is not convenient for the students to toss about. In addition, all the students who are admitted to high school study very hard , and didn't want to spend a lot of time on the road, so I changed it to a pick-up at the end of the month.

Lin Qiao felt that she had delayed going around.

She cooks all kinds of delicious food for the children in a different way every day, with sufficient nutrition. Doudou has grown as fast as bamboo over the years, but he has only grown taller, with only a thin layer of muscle on his body, but he It's not as strong as a calf like Xiaoshu and Nannan.

She was afraid that the tall and thin Doudou would be blown away by the typhoon.

Knowing that this kind of worry is unnecessary, but Lin Qiao is just worried and wants to keep DouDou by her side.

Dou Dou got good grades and didn't have to struggle from elementary school to junior high school. The teacher told her several times that Dou Dou could skip a grade, but Lin Qiao didn't agree, and asked him to go to school step by step, just to keep him by his side for a few more years.

If he had skipped a grade, Doudou would have finished high school by now.

It may be due to various restrictions on sports, or because her long-term stay on the island limited her vision. Gu Lin said that she recommended Dou Dou to go to the military academy, but she didn't want Dou Dou to go to the military academy at a young age, so she didn't let him skip a grade.

During dinner, Lin Qiao talked about the resumption of the college entrance examination at the dinner table.

Doudou was not surprised at all, and said, "I just said that I want to go to the military academy, and that I can go to college when I graduate from high school."

He didn't have a clear memory, but he just vaguely felt that it should be so.

Lin Qiao talked about grandma's proposal, but before the person concerned expressed his opinion, Beibei said dissatisfiedly, "No, I can't let the elder brother go, the elder brother wants to stay with us." After saying this, the little guy's eyes turned

red .

"That's right, we can see him once a month when he's in high school outside the island. Isn't it impossible to see him when he goes to his grandparents?" Nannan said.

Of course, Lin Qiao hated her eldest son the most, but she still said, "Children will always leave their parents when they grow up. You won't stay on the island all the time. It will happen sooner or later. You go to Qingcheng to study close to home, and grandpa will give you help." You help with your homework."

Gu Lin said: "See what Doudou thinks."

Doudou felt that it was too sudden, so he didn't bother at all, and simply said: "Even if there are various benefits to studying in Qingcheng, I don't want to leave My mother, I can be admitted to university wherever I study."

Gu Lin complained: "Doudou was attached to Lin Qiao when he was a child, but you are now fourteen, taller than your mother, and still attached to your mother. Take it with your mother."

Nan Nan joked at him and said, "The person who clings the most to her mother in our family is not Bei Bei, but the elder brother."

Doudou is not afraid of others laughing at him at all, if others have the same experience of losing and regaining, they will be like him Cherish your parents. Lin Qiao thought it was very good, which meant that their mother and child were close. She immediately made a decision: " In this case, let's study outside the island. I can go home

once a month."

Together in high school outside the island, the two also have companions.

Even if this incident is a small episode, just pretend it never happened, and the family is still preparing step by step for the things they need to start school, waiting for the school to start.

——But

He Yunxiu couldn't fall asleep, and rummaged through the box to find out the old textbooks she brought with her when she first came to the island.

"You still have your high school textbooks, they are really worn out." Lin Huaixuan asked.

He Yunxiu smoothed the corner of the book carefully: "I was only in the second year of high school, and my books were sold as waste paper by the old men and women of the Meng family. I managed to save some money and went all the way to waste I bought a set of old textbooks at the station. I finished the third year of high school by myself. When I was in my hometown, I read books all the time. It was probably my spiritual sustenance. Even when I went to the island, my luggage was such a burden, but I still brought the textbooks gone."

"Looking at the broken textbooks, I know that you had a hard time in those years, but I haven't seen you reading textbooks in these years." Lin Huaixuan said.

"After marrying you, life is peaceful and stable. I don't even have the time to read textbooks." He Yunxiu said.

"You don't want to take the college entrance examination, do you?" Lin Huaixuan asked.

He Yunxiu felt that the partner knew her too well, and said: "If my adoptive parents hadn't passed away at that time, I would definitely have continued to study in the third year of high school, and 80% of them would be able to enter the university. After hearing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, I would also like to take the exam. These I regretted not being able to take the college entrance examination last year, and besides, the Lin family are all college students with a high level of education, and I am the only exception." She hesitated and said, "It's

just that I am thirty-three and have two children." "

If you want to study It's never too late, you can study with Xiaoshu." Lin Huaixuan said.

Seeing her husband supporting me so much, I once again felt that I was lucky enough to marry the right person, and said very moved: "Huaixuan, you are so kind and willing to support me." Lin Huaixuan put his arms around her: "Don't have any worries, of course you want to.

" You can do whatever you want."

Lin Qiao is currently preparing DouDou for school, clothes, shoes and socks, daily necessities, and bedding, so the luggage is quite a lot.

Chapter 54

Children in high school are not a small financial burden for any family. In addition to the tuition, miscellaneous, and book fees of about 10 yuan per semester, they also have to use money and food stamps to buy meals at school.

For example, peasant families have no food stamps at all, so they can take grain to the grain station to exchange for food stamps; or hand over the grain to the school cafeteria to receive food stamps.

In short, high school students spend a lot of money, and it was not easy for families to support their children in high school in the 1960s and 1970s.

Poor family rich road, Lin Qiao thought about giving him 20 yuan for food and 40 catties of food coupons for the first month, and another 10 yuan for reserve money. If he is in a hurry, he can go to the post office to give Gu Lin Call up.

"You are growing up, so you must have enough food at school. Don't waste your money on food stamps. Our family has money, so your dad will look for food stamps. Anyway, it's enough for you." Lin Qiao told me to go around.

DouDou was arranging the extracurricular books he was going to bring to school, and said, "Mom, I know, Mom is really kind to me."

Lin Qiao said, "You are my eldest son, so of course I want to treat you well."

Afraid that he might be hungry Then, I also want to bring him dried shrimps, dried fruits, and sweet, spicy, salty, and delicious dried fish.

"Mom, the bones of the small fish are crispy, crispy and fragrant. Your skill in making small fish is getting better and better." Nan Nan said while eating.

In fact, the islanders don't like to eat all kinds of small fish. They don't have much seasoning and oil to use. The camellia oil that I bought somehow has oil and seasonings. Lin Qiao tried every means to turn the small fish into delicious food.

"We eat these things all day long, I'm afraid you guys will get tired of eating them, so you must have a different taste." Lin Qiao said.

"The crispy octopus and fried small yellow croaker made by mom are also delicious. Bring more snacks, so my elder brother won't be hungry." Bei Bei said.

Lin Qiao asked DouDou to check for missing items by himself, and asked him to wait until the school found something missing and go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it.

After the things were almost packed, He Yunxiu came with Xiaoshu and Mimi.

Lin Qiao said: "You came just in time, help me to see if there is anything left." He

Yunxiu looked at everything and said, "Almost, these are what I prepared for Xiaoshu.

" I'll take a big bag of snacks."

Lin Qiao packed everything and put it next to the writing desk in Doudou's room. He Yunxiu said, "Lin Qiao, there is something I want to discuss with you. Your elder brother helped me inquire about it. Today's college entrance examination There is no registration limit. Anyone who is old, married, or has graduated from high school can apply for the exam. I have the qualifications and I want to try."

Lin Qiao said: "It's rare for you to have this kind of heart . Okay, I support you to take the college entrance examination."

He Yunxiu was overjoyed, and said: "You and your elder brother are very nice people, your elder brother also let me try, even Xiaoshu and Mimi support me. I think In the school in Rongcheng, I can still see Xiao Shuer on Sunday, and I will go home with him at the end of the month. But life is pretty good now, and I am in a dilemma because I can’t take care of Mimi. I want to seize this opportunity, and I can’t bear Mimi Mi, when I think of Mimi, I don’t want to take the test.”

Xiaoshu said: “I hope my mother can try it, and Mimi just listens to my father at home.”

Mimi is the most well-behaved of these children. Interested in traditional Chinese medicine, she often collected herbs with Lin Qiao, processed them, and dried medicinal materials. Lin Qiao often praised her as a good labor force. The little

girl nodded and said, "I can wash clothes, cook, and go to school by myself." If you want to take the college entrance examination, you say: "Mimi is also eight years old, my elder brother can take her, or you can let her come here with me, she can still be with Beibei as a company, and parents can be a support for their children." A role model is the best, who knows if the registration policy will be tightened in the future, if you want to try, seize the opportunity."

Beibei said: "Yes, Mimi, why don't you come to my house."

He Yunxiu said with emotion: "No, Mimi is eight years old at this moment. I haven't touched any textbooks these years, so I can just take an ordinary college entrance examination, but I don't have much confidence."

Lin Qiao said: "Everyone is as unprepared as you are. Besides, education is not important now. A junior high school education is enough. There are not many people who really study hard. After all, you have a good foundation. If you read more books, you may be able to pick it up." He Yunxiu

thought Lin Qiao's words were very effective, and she could rekindle her fighting spirit with a few words. This sister-in-law was simply a guiding light in her life.

"Then I'll give it a try. Since I have the opportunity, I will try it. Even if I fail the exam, I won't have any regrets." He Yunxiu said.

"Take it away, Mom, go back and read." Xiaoshu said.

"Then let's go first, Lin Qiao."

He Yunxiu feels very happy recently. Although she is busy working during the day and reading until 11 or 12 o'clock at night, Lin Huai supports and encourages her in words and actions, and bears the burden. Lin Huaixuan can solve the problems she doesn't know in a few words, so she feels that this man is excellent and attractive.

It is so important for a woman to marry the right person.

The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was confirmed, so Lin Qiao went to tell Luo Yuying that they were talking through the wall.

"Really? There will be an exam at the end of the year?" Luo Yuying's eyes widened, her face full of surprise.

"Jin Dou, come quickly, and listen to your Aunt Lin Qiao. Your aunt said that there will be a college entrance examination this year."

Jin Dou just graduated from high school this year with good academic performance, but there is no college entrance examination. He decided to give her a job in the shipyard, or take the route recommended by the workers, peasants and soldiers.

Jin Dou quickly ran out of the house. She was a big girl now, half a head taller than Luo Yuying, and she was lively and cheerful like a girl from Northeast China.

She was full of disbelief: "What, there is a college entrance examination? After I graduated, I was at home and the college entrance examination resumed?"

Lin Qiao nodded, "Yes, but this is internal news, and I don't know when I will release an official news."

Luo Yuying said: "That's great, I can't bear to see such a big girl hanging around at home all day, but she hasn't read the textbook since she graduated, Jindou, then you should review and prepare for the exam first, and I will save you when you get into college." I'm worried."

"I'm not in school anymore, can I compare with high school freshmen, can I pass the exam?" Jin Dou said.

"If you don't pass the exam, you still have to take the exam, otherwise what can you do!" Luo Yuying said.

Lin Qiao said: "It is estimated that many people who have been away from school for many years want to take the test. They have almost forgotten all the knowledge. You must have an advantage just after graduating from high school." After chatting with

Luo Yuying, Lin Qiao went to Meng Pandi's house again. My son happened to be in her third year of high school, so she was very excited when she heard the news, saying that she must study hard to prepare for the college entrance examination.

——One

week later, it was the day to go to school to report.

There were many people going out of the island this time, and the camp arranged a larger boat. In addition to sending the children off the island in the morning, they could also buy things and do various things, and returned with the boat at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

It was Sunday, Lin Qiao's family and He Yunxiu's family were all on the move, Gu Lin was carrying bedding and a big luggage bag, and the big boat was also very lively, Xiao Wan'er and the other boarding students had to go back to school one day earlier, Everyone is used to taking a boat with their companions, and their parents will not pick them up.

Xiao Wan'er is very happy that Doudou and Xiaoshu can go to the same high school as them.

Lin Qiao said to Xiao Wan'er: "In the future, if you go back and forth together, parents can rest assured."

Xiao Wan'er nodded, "I'll wait for them at the school gate at the end of the month."

Along the way, Xiao Wan'er told the school Many schools say that there are toilets in the dormitory building, but the water pressure cannot keep up, and they are not open at ordinary times, so they can only go to the dry toilet outside the dormitory building; they also say that there is a water room in the dormitory building, and the water pressure cannot keep up, and the water flow is very Small, everyone has to fight for water; the food in the cafeteria is not good, the oil is sometimes sloppy, and there are often bugs in the rice; the door of the dormitory must be closed at night, otherwise people will enter the dormitory to steal things.

Hearing that, DouDou and Xiao Shu were heartbroken, and Xiao Shu said, "The conditions are so difficult."

Xiao Wan'er said calmly: "I'll get used to it soon."

Doudou said: "Tell me about the good things."

Xiao Wan'er is a person who is easily satisfied, and said: "It will be great if we can get into high school. Doudou

said: "That's true." The

high school they were admitted to was a key school in the city. In order to go home conveniently, they deliberately applied for a school close to the pier, which was only three or four miles away. After the big boat arrived at the pier, they chose to walk there .

After walking for more than 20 or 30 minutes, I walked to the school.

Xiaowan and his senior students went directly to the dormitory, and the freshmen went to the playground to report.

Desks were set up on the playground, and the head teachers of each class were there to register the students for reports. After registration, they walked towards the dormitory building.

Doudou and Xiaoshu are in the same class, and they are also assigned to the same dormitory. Eight people live in one dormitory, with four upper and lower bunk beds. They came early and took up the seat next to the window on the inside. Xiaoshu sleeps in the lower bunk, and Doudou sleeps top bunk.

As soon as they stood in the dormitory, the small space became even more crowded.

Gu Lin put the pocketed luggage on the bed, and pulled it off the bed casually. The thin bed frame didn't weigh much, and it immediately creaked, being pulled out of place and shaking violently.

"This bed is really bad." Gu Lin said.

When he looked at the bed boards, he was even more surprised. The wooden bed boards were sparse and thin, and did not fit the iron bed frame. The gap was relatively large, and it felt easy to fall off.

He patted the bed board with his hands and said: "There is a big guy sleeping on it, if the bed board falls and hits the lower bunk soon!"

Lin Huaixuan also checked the bed and said: "It's not firm at all."

Gu Lin imagined For a moment, if the upper berth is occupied and the board of the bed falls off, if the lower berth sits on the bed, the consequences will be disastrous!

This broke the bed, where Gu Lin was willing to do it, she immediately called the dormitory teacher. Seeing that Gu Lin was dressed in a cadre uniform and looked good, the dormitory teacher didn't dare to perfunctory, but she said embarrassingly: "This is the condition of our school. , You go to other schools to see that the bed frames and boards are all like this."

Gu Lin's face was stern, his attitude couldn't get better, and his voice was cold and serious: "Well, you can guarantee that the boards will not fall off."

Gu Lin is not no Give the dormitory teacher a good face because he has always been rigorous and has very strict requirements on himself, including subordinates at all levels. He feels that the dormitory teacher is also responsible for turning a blind eye to the broken bed and disregarding the safety of the students. It is her dereliction of duty.

If he was in charge, there would never be such a poor quality bed in the dormitory.

The teacher in charge of the dormitory glanced at the bed. How could she guarantee it? The bed board was of this quality, and it had fallen off before, but it didn’t hurt the students. Repeatedly: "Our school beds are all like this."

Gu Lin stretched out his long arms and stood by the bed. Seeing that he didn't make much effort, he just patted the bed board casually, and the bed board fell off.

It wasn't just Lin Qiao and the others who were surprised and thought there was something wrong with the bed frame and the bed board. The dormitory teacher's face turned pale, and the person in front of him just slapped the bed board so lightly that the bed board could fall off.

"Do you sleep in this lower berth?" Gu Lin glanced at the other party.

The dormitory teacher blushed: "..."

"Call the repairman to reinforce it." Gu Lin said.

"Our school doesn't have a professional maintenance worker. Either the teacher does it himself, or finds a master from outside, or I, I will repair it." I stuttered when I spoke.

The dormitory teacher has never met such a serious parent. Originally, the school should be the strong side, but her intuition told her that the other party must have enough strength to dare to pick on the school's faults.

"Is there any old bed frame? I'll reinforce it, and find some nails to weld." Gu Lin's voice softened, and she calmly stared at the dormitory teacher. He felt a sense of urgency that he had to follow his request, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, there are used beds and tools, but they are all in the warehouse, so I'll get them right away.

" A top bunk." Gu Lin said.

Twenty minutes later, the dormitory teacher and two students came back carrying things. She also said kindly: "I brought the welding goggles and protective clothing." When the dormitory teacher brought the materials

and Tools, Gu Lin and Lin Huaixuan worked together to remove all the four upper bed boards. Lin Huaixuan moved the bed boards to the corridor for reinforcement, and moved the three beds to the corridor. Put it down, and use electric welding and iron rods to strengthen the bed board.

Lin Qiao and the others all withdrew, leaving only Gu Lin in the room welding the bed frame.

She didn't know that Gu Lin could also use electric welding, and head Gu became a welder in seconds, and she thought this welder was quite attractive.

A classmate from the same dormitory came to the door over many obstacles, and said to Lin Qiao, "Sister, let me in."

Doudou said, "She is my mother."

The boy stuck out his tongue and said embarrassingly, "" Auntie is so young, I thought it was your sister, and I believed our classmate.”

Lin Qiao laughed and said, “This classmate is really good at talking, let’s go in later, the bed frame is not very strong, you have to Reinforce it."

Doudou proudly said: "My father welded the frame of the bed, the bed is not strong, I will reinforce the bed that my uncle and my uncle made on the upper bunk of our dormitory." The boy was so envious, his parents not only

came He said: "Your father is really kind, then we will have a good time with you. Uncle looks very young, like your brother, and he is an officer. I admire soldiers the most."

After the bed frame and bed boards were all reinforced, Gu Lin was satisfied now, and said, "It's absolutely fine, the bed boards won't fall down."

Gu Lin and Lin Huaixuan cleaned up the tools, Lin Qiao and He Yunxiu cleaned up the leftover sawdust, and Dou Dou and Xiao Shu quickly made the bed.

After leaving the dormitory, Lin Qiao said: "When I was in middle school, there were boarding students in the school, and the dormitory teachers were all in charge, otherwise they couldn't control the students at all. If we didn't give her a good face, she would Will you wear small shoes for DouDou and XiaoShu?"

According to the various stories she heard from the boarding students when she was in junior high school and high school, the dormitory teacher would definitely do it.

Gu Lin snorted coldly: "She dares!"

Lin Qiao said to Doudou and Xiaoshu again: "If the dorm teacher troubles you, don't confront the teacher, tell father and uncle." "

Understood." The two said together.

Lin Huaixuan and his wife still have important things to do. They are going to the bookstore to buy review materials. In addition, Lin Huaixuan asked a friend to find materials for He Yunxiu. Now they are going to meet their friends, so the two families separated at the school gate.

Lin Qiao and the others had no other important things to do. The plan was to walk around Rongcheng, let a few children see the world, have lunch, and then go to the zoo.

Rongcheng is a big city, and there are high-grade restaurants, but their destination is the zoo, so they can’t run around, so they entered a nearby state-run restaurant when the restaurant started at noon, which was similar to a street restaurant. There are no stir-fried dishes, and they sell fast food. There are not many varieties. There are steamed pork ribs, rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, radish cakes, boat porridge, salt water corners, claypot rice, barbecued pork buns, etc., except for one yuan for a pot Except for the rice, each food is not large, so they ordered all of them.

The price is also affordable, 20 cents for radish cake, 30 cents for egg rice rolls, 50 cents for shrimp dumplings, and 40 cents for radish and beef offal.

These foods are very novel to them, and ordering all of them is not enough, so they add radish beef offal and fried beef river.

These meals turned out to be delicious. Lin Qiao had no expectations for radish and beef offal, but he didn't expect that the beef veal and cattle farm were cooked as well as the radish, with a strong fragrance and no peculiar smell.

Lin Qiao was afraid that Doudou would not be able to eat well at school, so she said, "There are many delicious snacks in Rongcheng, if the school food is not good, you can go out to eat on Sunday, your school is not far from here." "Okay

, Mom, I'm full." Doudou said.

"These are too delicious." After eating, Nan Nan touched his round belly and said.

Lin Qiao also found it delicious. She said, "I can try making shrimp dumplings and rice rolls. Which one is Bei Bei's favorite?" "

I like them both. Claypot rice is delicious, and rice rolls are also delicious. "Beibei said.

"Okay, Mom will make it for you when I get back." Lin Qiao said.

After coming out of the restaurant, passing the herbal tea stand, Nan Nan suggested to drink herbal tea, he said: "There are so many herbal tea stands in Rongcheng, I have seen quite a few of them."

Lin Qiao said, "Okay, then let's have a taste.

" A dime a bowl is poured from a clay pot into a porcelain bowl, and there are a few tables and chairs to sit on.

Out of curiosity, everyone chose herbal teas with different functions, such as reducing fire, removing dampness, relieving heat, clearing liver and improving eyesight.

"Is there anything sweet?" Beibei asked.

"Yes."

The salesperson poured her a bowl of sweet ones, and gave them a pinch of tangerine peel to go with it.

Several people sat down and drank herbal tea around the table, but the taste of the herbal tea was different from what they imagined.

"Mine is not sweet at all, it's obviously bitter." Beibei said.

Looking at her daughter's wrinkled face, Lin Qiao took a piece of toffee from her satchel, peeled it off and stuffed it into her mouth, letting her drink it slowly.

In the end, Lin Qiao saw that the children couldn't drink any more, so she said, "Forget it, you can stay."

Nan Nan felt that she was finally liberated, pushed the bowl, and said, "Okay, I won't drink. "

Based on the principle of not wasting, Gu Lin drank up the half bowl of herbal tea left by each of the three children.

The whole family is well-educated and qualified. They didn't say anything at the stall, and only expressed their opinions when they were far away.

Gu Lin said: "I have seen this thing many times when I came out of the island, but I have never drank it. Isn't this a medicinal soup!

" Nan Nan complained.

Doudou said: "Herbal tea is originally made from traditional Chinese medicines such as Prunella vulgaris, light bamboo leaves, and licorice. Our mother will definitely make herbal tea with different effects." Lin Qiao was not at all modest, and said: "Yes, I can also make different ones

. Herbal tea with high efficacy, I heard that some factories will brew herbal tea for workers to drink, after I think about the formula, I will drink it for the soldiers in the camp to dispel dampness and heat." Doudou said: "My mother and the others are military wives

on the island . The standard of food has improved a lot.”

After leaving the herbal tea stand, they took the tram to the zoo. Many people didn’t go home at noon and ate in the unit or the factory. There were not as many people taking the tram as there were people rushing off work in the morning and evening, and it was not crowded.

The zoo has always been very popular, and there are not many people on Sundays. The three children and Gu Lin have never been to the zoo, especially the three children, who feel very happy to see so many animals at once. Gu Lin also took a camera to take pictures of the four mothers, walked outside the elephant house, Nannan Station was near the iron fence, and said excitedly: "Dad, quickly take a photo with the elephant, I want to take it back to the island to show off. Holding the camera in both hands, Gu Lin said, "Don't blink, I'll count to three, one, two, three." Puff, puff, puff, the elephant standing sideways suddenly began to poop like no one else was watching. Hahahaha, Beibei laughed so hard: "Second brother, you want to take a picture, the elephant shits, does it despise you?" Nannan's body was super flexible, and she immediately bounced off the fence, frowning, annoyed Said: "What shit are you shitting, Dad, wait until he finishes shitting before taking pictures." Gu Lin said: "It's late, the photo has already been taken, our family Nan Nan took a photo with the shitting elephant."

Beibei laughed even harder, and said, "Don't you want to show off? I'll just wait for the photos to be developed and show them to Mimi."

Lin Qiao also couldn't stop laughing. Always make people laugh.

She suggested, "Nan Nan should take another photo."

Nan Nan snorted, "I won't take pictures of elephants anymore, I'm going to take a photo with a South China tiger."

Coming out of the zoo, Bei Bei was still enjoying himself and said, "" It's great to be able to come out as a family."

They mainly because it's inconvenient to leave the island and enter the island, and there is no boat that leaves early and returns late, Lin Qiao promised her: "If it is convenient for us to come out on Sundays, we will come out to play again, and we will visit your elder brother by the way."

They I took the tram back to the gate of the school, and said goodbye to Doudou at the gate.

"Brother, I really miss you. When you come home at the end of the month, we'll go catch the sea together." Beibei said reluctantly, tugging at the hem of Doudou's clothes.

Nan Nan flicked her head: "The tide is low in the afternoon, how can big brother catch up with the sea!"

Doudou put his sister's shoulders and said affectionately: "Then let's go to the beach to pick coconuts."

Gu Lin said: "Let's go, the child will definitely leave when he grows up." home."

Beibei said again: "I want to stay with my parents."

"Okay, then Beibei will always stay with my parents." Gu Lin said dotingly.

Lin Qiao told him everything he could think of, and the family left for the pier.

Chapter 55

When they got to the pier, Lin Huaixuan and the other three were already waiting there, and his handbag was full of review materials for the college entrance examination.

"Have you finished reading so many books?" Lin Qiao asked.

Lin Huaixuan said: "Your sister-in-law worked hard and read until 11 or 12 o'clock every day."

He Yunxiu said: "Now my memory is far worse than before, I have to memorize it well, and your elder brother tutors me, so I have to work harder. Don't let his hard work go to waste."

Sure enough, she was still reading on the boat when the boat sailed.

When I got home, there was obviously only one person missing, but the house seemed a lot quieter, and it would be a lot easier to take care of one less family member, but Lin Qiao felt empty in her heart.

She didn't expect to be so concerned about her child.

Finally, at the end of the month, in order to ensure freshness, she prepared dried fish, dried shrimp, and dried fruit for the roundup a day or two in advance. On Saturday afternoon, Nannan and Beibei went to the pier with her to wait for the boat after school. They had just arrived. He Yunxiu also came with Mimi.

A few of them stood in a place where there were few people. He Yunxiu really had the spirit to bear hardships, and he was reciting vocabulary with an English textbook in his hand.

Lin Qiao said: "Why don't you go back and read, and I'll take Mimi to pick up the little tree."

He Yunxiu smiled and said: "My memory is incomparable to when I was young, hurry up and read more books, or just Forget. Xiaoshu has never left me, and I miss him too, and he will be happy to see us waiting for him when he comes back."

When the big ship docked, Beibei was definitely in the mood, jumping and jumping excitedly, waving his hands Shouted: "Big brother, big brother, we're here to pick you up."

Miss Mi was very polite and waited quietly, let alone Nan Nan, who was clearly looking forward to the return of Big Brother, but he pretended to be serious and said that Beibei was too noisy like a cheerleader.

"Can't you be as quiet as Mimi?"

"No."

Lin Qiao saw that Doudou, Xiaoshu, and Xiaowaner were all equipped with the same equipment, carrying a large schoolbag on their shoulders, and holding lunch boxes in their hands.

As soon as the boat docked, the little girl from the atmosphere team immediately ran over to wait for Doudou to disembark, and said, "Brother, Mom has prepared a lot of delicious food for you." "

Beibei, I bought you double skin milk." Doudou explain. He held the lunch box carefully, for fear that the double skin milk would be broken and mushy, and minimized the shock.

"Mine too, I bought it when I saw Doudoubuy." Xiaoshu said, he was really happy to see He Yunxiu and Mimi waiting for him.

Xiaowan said: "I brought the lunch box back to school. They bought double skin milk, and I also bought it for Xiaoshao and my parents." "The eldest son is really considerate.

" He clasped his shoulders and said, "Let's go home."

A group of people separated and went home separately. Back home, Lin Qiao took four bowls, scooped a few spoonfuls of Shuangpi Nai into one bowl, and left some for Gu Lin.

Doudou and Nannan don't like it, but Lin Qiao and Beibei like it very much, they think it's sweet and full of milk flavor.

Beibei ran to get a lot of snacks for him to eat.

While eating dessert, Lin Qiao asked Doudou a lot of questions, such as whether he was full, what time to get up and go to bed, whether there was much homework, how were the teachers and classmates, and Doudou answered them one by one.

"All the bed frames and boards in our dormitory building have been reinforced." Doudou said.

"That's not bad, it saves the upper bunk from falling and hitting the lower bunk." Lin Qiao felt very relieved.

Gu Lin just came back from the camp, and heard a conversation between several people: "Safety must be the first priority. It's not because your father asked the school to report the problem, and the school resolved it." Lin Qiao laughed: "Your

father It’s really helpful to report the problem this time.”

Beibei took a lunch box and asked Dad to eat Shuangpi Nai, saying that the eldest brother bought it, and neither he nor the second brother liked it.

"The eldest son is getting more and more sensible." Gu Lin said, "Beibei will take it for you and your mother to eat."

Doudou said: "When I earn money in the future, I will definitely buy delicious food for our mother and Beibei." .”

The other two men immediately protested, Gu Lin said: "What about me."

Nan Nan also said: "What about me, why don't you buy it for me?"

"You and your father need to earn money for your mother and sister." Go around and say.

Gu Lin smiled and said: "The eldest son is right."

Nannan said: "Okay, of course I have to spend my money for my mother and younger sister."

Beibei didn't believe it at all, and said: "There is a saying that married a wife Damn."

Nan Nan snorted, "I won't."

After living in high school with Xiaoshu for two months, the Ministry of Education decided to resume the college entrance examination in September, and the media did not announce the news until October. Lin Huaixuan had more important news.

The Ship Design Institute asked him to return to the city, and Zhou Xiaodu's father would retire immediately. After training him for a year or two, Lin Huaixuan could be the chief designer, which was an excellent opportunity for him.

There is no doubt that Lin Huaixuan wants to return to the city. He is a senior engineer on the island, but he can do even more when he returns to Qingcheng.

As for Xiaoshu, although he wanted to stay on the island at the time, he definitely wanted to go back with his parents.

Lin Qiao had a hunch that they were going to leave after all. Gu Lin and the others usually transferred jobs every now and then. He stayed on the island for so many years, and his intuition told her that he would also be transferred.

He Yunxiu is under more pressure. She already has the pressure of the college entrance examination. If she fails the exam, she still has an easy job. But when she returns to Qingcheng, if she fails to pass the university entrance exam, there are only so few people in his unit, and she cannot work in Lin Huaixuan's unit. As a family worker, Lin Huaixuan or her in-laws must find a job for her. As for applying for the school, she must be admitted to the university in Qingcheng. There are two universities in Qingcheng, one is Qingcheng University, Lin Qiao's alma mater, and the other is Qingcheng Women's Demonstration College where Xu Manzhi worked before retirement. Colleges and women's colleges are junior colleges, so it should be easier to take the exam.

It just so happened that at her thirty-four or five-year-old age, she didn't want to learn broadcasting in the classroom with young people. She wanted to be relaxed and stable, so she could apply for a major in Chinese literature and become a teacher after graduation.

——In

other words, the life of the old Meng family in Mengjiazhuang is really crazy.

After Tian Xiaohua gave birth to a daughter in the village Huatian, how could the old man Meng be reconciled and force her to have a second child immediately, but no one honored Tian Xiaohua's bride price and the big tile house, so she didn't want to have another child, but Meng Tianbao resorted to some tricks, Successfully conceived a second child, but it turned out to be a girl again.

Old man Meng and the old lady think what to do, they feel that the people in the production team are laughing at their family for having two granddaughters, blaming Tian Xiaohua for not being angry in her stomach, Tian Xiaohua is angry for not having a bride price, not having a big tile house, and marrying a wimpy and useless Meng Tianbao, she Unconvinced, the family quarreled and fought every day.

The old couple did not forget to look for He Yunxiu.

They thought that He Yunxiu had died outside, and they were afraid that her parents would come to her. They lived in trepidation all these years, but after being instructed by others, they realized that He Yunxiu's parents must have found her. If they didn't find her, they would definitely return to Meng's house Zhuang inquired about the news.

After thinking this through, the old couple felt that the good times of the old Meng family were coming again. Since He Yunxiu's biological parents recognized her back, the old Meng family had raised her for so many years, so they could ask her parents for maintenance.

They don't know where He Yunxiu is, but they have the address of He Jiefang's home.

They decided to come to ask for child support.

The old couple had never traveled far at all, and they were afraid to go to the outside world. Besides, they felt sorry for the travel expenses, but they firmly believed that a small investment would yield a big return. It was up to He Yunxiu's parents to build five large tile-roofed houses in the old Meng's house. The desire for money Supporting them, they issued a letter of introduction from the production team, stamped by the commune, and went straight to He's house without hesitation.

Traveling all the way from Yun Province to Hai City, the confused two almost lost themselves several times, and finally found He Jiefang's house.

He Jiefang and Jiang Chaoying were very surprised to see the disgraced and embarrassed old couple. They didn't go to Mengjiazhuang to settle accounts, and planned to let them go just like that, but they came to the door by themselves.

"We came all the way to ask you for Meng Cidi's child support. After all, we have raised He Yunxiu for so many years. Her food and clothing expenses have to be converted into money and paid to us." The other party did not greet them, nor did the old

couple The method is close, and they can only express their thoughts without embellishment.

"What the hell? You haven't spent a penny on my daughter, why are you asking for money?" Jiang Chaoying was shocked by the brazenness of the two.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give the money, the two of them were afraid of losing the travel expenses and expenses on the road, so they immediately said: "My second son and daughter-in-law are raising her, and you have to pay them alimony. We are the elders. If they are gone, we will definitely have the money Take it."

Jiang Chaoying: "..."

She was so angry that she almost jumped her feet: "Go back to your hometown, marriage is free now, I haven't held you accountable for forcing your granddaughter to marry, but you have the face to ask for money, your son and daughter-in-law are raising He Yunxiu and you It doesn't matter at all, let me tell you, there is no money. Your son and daughter-in-law know what you two are doing, and the coffin can't hold it down

. If so, we will stay at your house."

Jiang Chaoying had talked lively before, saying that she would teach the old couple a lesson, but she also found it difficult for these two unreasonable and self-contained strong logic people to appear in front of them.

She hated it so much, if He Yunxiu's first twenty years were a tragedy, then these two people were undoubtedly the root of her tragedy, but they didn't commit any crimes, and the law couldn't punish them!

What can she and He Jiefang do? They can't beat the old couple up.

And they have to think about their daughter, if they don't get money from them, the two of them won't open their minds, figure out that Yunxiu might be on the island, and run to the island again.

The peaceful life that my daughter has finally obtained cannot be disturbed.

But she absolutely didn't want to be taken advantage of, and she had to give them money after her daughter suffered a crime.

After giving them the money, she would be ashamed to death, and she would never be able to swallow this breath for the rest of her life.

He Jiefang hurriedly pulled his wife back, and said to the old couple: "As He Yunxiu's biological parents, we plan to investigate your evil deeds of persecuting your parents.

" The grievance must have exceeded their imagination, and it was so irritating.

Ignoring their words, the two of them played tricks, and had no choice but to arrange for them to stay in a guest house and manage a meal.

Just when the old couple felt that there was a connection and were about to make persistent efforts to win the struggle, people from the Women's Federation came to the guest house to look for them the next morning.

"Now is a new society. It is not allowed to violate women's will and force women to marry. What you have done to Comrade He Yunxiu is to persecute women. We are now looking for models. It just so happens that the two are models. You have to go to the Women's Federation with us. Accept criticism and education."

Old men and women are dumbfounded, isn't it just that they found a husband's family for their granddaughter and asked for a little bride price, how could it become a typical example? How come there are cadres looking for them!

In their eyes, cadres are authorities.

They are afraid of being a model. If the positive model is good, the negative model can scare people to death.

Granny Meng's legs were shaking, and she couldn't speak fluently: "Why, why do you want to educate us?"

They worked hard and suffered a lot to come to Ningcheng to beg for money, not to receive education.

Comrades from the Women's Federation said very gently: "You forced He Yunxiu to marry, which is no different from selling your sons and daughters. Now we are educating you. If the circumstances are serious, the police will come to you." The two were terrified and could only go to the Women's Federation

. Get an education.

When they arrived at the Women's Federation, they checked their account books, read their letters of introduction, and registered their fingerprints. After a set of procedures, they realized that the situation was more serious than they had imagined.

There were also four or five old men and women who were educated with them. Everyone had to recite the code of conduct. Two of them could not read big characters, and the staff taught them to read. They also had to write an inspection, they dictated it, and the women's federation staff wrote it down, and then they copied it like ghosts, and finally got through until the women's federation staff got off work.

They don’t dare to go to He Jiefang’s house to make trouble again. It’s difficult to receive education. Although they have food and drink, they live in hard beds in guest houses, and the food is not good. Wotou, corn cakes, sorghum rice, boiled cabbage, potatoes , radish and pickles, there is no oil star at all.

"How many more days?" Mrs. Meng asked with a sad face.

"You can leave when you realize your mistakes from the bottom of your heart." The attitude of the Women's Federation was very good.

The fifteen days of education had completely worn them down.

He Jiefang came forward to let the two go back, saying: "This time, people from the Women's Federation are educating you. If you ask for money or disturb He Yunxiu, you will be sent to the Public Security Bureau." Jiang Chaoying said: "Hurry up, we

will It’s kind enough to buy a train ticket for me. If you don’t leave as soon as possible, you will pay for the ticket yourself, and we have no obligation to take care of you two.”

Granny Meng said: “Let’s go, old man.

” She has nothing to do with you at all."

Jiang Chaoying threatened again: "I wish you could find her, and then Yunxiu will report to the police to arrest you."

Old man Meng was weak, and quickly said: "We will not look for her."

The couple told the old man The couple bought hard-seat tickets, bought some dry food, and sent them to the train. After inquiring that they arrived home safely, the matter was over.

——

On the day when Lin Huaixuan's family was sent away, the four children were reluctant to leave, but Lin Qiao felt very happy. After all, all the pressure on the Lin family was relieved, and the elder brother was heading towards a better future.

"Let's send the children back to their hometown to play next summer vacation." Lin Huaixuan said.

Nan Nan immediately begged to see the outside world.

Lin Qiao didn't want the three children to go out. The holiday was only one month, and it took half a month to go back and forth. Gu Lin would not leave the island. She felt that it was too much trouble.

But she could only perfunctory them and said that she would wait for a chance to go back.

Lin Jiaqi was the happiest person when Xiaoshu came back. She was so happy that her mouth almost reached the bottom of her ears, but she cried when she smiled.

"I kept saving my money through work-study programs, and wanted to buy gifts for you, but in the first year my grandma said my uncle was not free, and in the second year she said she was not free, so I knew my grandma was fooling me, she just didn't want to take me to the island. " Lin Jiaqi cried even louder in aggrieved way.

"I moved all the comic books to the alley and set up a stall for the children to read. I saved my pocket money one by one, and I couldn't even bear to buy popsicles. I saved them to buy gifts for you, but grandma fooled me. Lin

Zhenkai covered his ears and laughed out loud, and said to Zhou Xiaodu: "Our girl complained while crying, she cried so badly, why do I find it so funny." Zhou Xiaodu also laughed, saying: "Usually she is alone

, If you don't catch my brother, you have to act like a baby."

"Jiaqi, stop crying, haven't I come back? I can play with you and stay with you in the future."

Lin Jiaqi stopped crying and covered her eyes with her hands , looking at this and that with wide fingers, and boldly asked, "Then you send me to the gate of the elementary school when school starts, and then you go to high school."

Two schools are next to each other, this is not an embarrassing request Xiaoshu readily agreed: "Okay, we will send you to school first."

On the first day of school, he became the proudest cub.

The school is not far from home, and Lin Zhenkai usually takes her for a while when she goes to work. This time, the three of them walked to school. Lin Jiaqi walked fast with his schoolbag on his back, and his brother, who was two heads taller than her, was like a guardian angel. , Sure enough, it attracted the attention of many students.

Letters were sent to the island one by one.

He Yunxiu was admitted to a women's college.

Lin Huaixuan became the chief designer.

Together with DouDou, he wrote a proposal to consolidate the eastern coastal defense. He was only the head of the regiment guarding Qiongya Island, and he was not qualified to give pointers to the eastern coastal defense, but at this time the advantage of having a general grandfather was revealed.

Gu Changting is in the army, but when he received this proposal, he was completely amazed at his grandson's thorough analysis of the situation, the enemy and us, and the high level and constructiveness of the proposal.

It's just that this plan is too familiar with the eastern coastal defense, which makes people think that Gu Lin, an officer guarding the island, does not have this information, so Gu Changting said that he wrote the plan.

The weight of his words can be imagined. A large-scale military exercise was held in the eastern waters. Of course, Gu Lin also led his troops to participate. The whole world was shocked by the military strength of the Chinese navy. Some countries that coveted the Chinese maritime territory were all frightened. Don't dare to act rashly.

The naval battle of Dongtuo Island that both father and son worried about the most did not happen, and it must have something to do with the butterfly effect and military exercises that cleared Tang Dahai.

In 1979, Doudou went to the third year of high school at the beginning of the summer vacation, and went to the first year of junior high school from south to north.

Even Lin Qiao's grandparents came back from Hong Kong City, saying that the fallen leaves return to their roots, but they are actually worried about them. It was also difficult for the eldest group when they first arrived in Hong Kong City, but after all, they have accumulated over the years, and now their family is also a big family in Hong Kong City, but the second group makes them feel at ease.

Gu Lin also received an order to go to Qingcheng.

He was reluctant to leave. Qiongya Island was a barren and deserted island at the beginning, but now there is a good harvest of food, the islanders have sideline income, and the military and civilians are in harmony with the fish and water. In addition, the combat preparation island was built with great effort and energy by him. In addition, the defense of the southeast coast over the years has been quite fruitful. , They have built an impenetrable sea defense line, and the foreign enemies who were eyeing them dare not invade at all. He has deep feelings for Qiongya Island and the nearby islands.

At that time, the organization sent him to garrison Qiongya Island, and many of the ardent goals put forward by his superiors had already been overfulfilled. It was precisely because of these achievements that he was able to obtain almost complete training, and he would not be entrusted with more important tasks on the island in the future.

Either stay in Qiongya Island forever, or now is an opportunity for him.

Now he drags his family with him, so he must listen to his family's opinions.
