&p;;srn&p;;Old Shadow of the Republic of China 58

The crops seemed to grow wildly overnight when they saw the rain. Many of them could relieve the drought. The vegetable fields in the yard and outside the yard were carefully served, and the seedlings grew neatly. The seedlings were well and a little dense, so they had to be sprouted. The green cabbage seedlings came down from the seedlings and could at least be on the dining table. I couldn’t stand the wild vegetables that had been eaten for more than a month. I was not the only family in this family, but the nanny guards were staring at the eyes. They were just for the children to eat, that is, when the milk was not enough at night, they made some milk powder for the children.

The weather slowly became hot, and Chang Sheng's short legs took off his thick clothes and became more flexible. As long as he was held by someone, he could use this little force to walk around the yard by the adults. The Fourth Master was busy and he was busy walking back and forth with his children. Lin Yutong had no time to take his children back and forth, and only Huaizi, who had not yet raised his body, took his children to walk around the yard.

At noon, Lin Yutong squatted in the vegetable field to kidnap beans and tomatoes. Huaizi held the child with one hand and handed Lin Yutong a wooden stick of varying sizes, which were of thumb. Lin Yutong inserted the wooden stick to the ground and then gently fixed the vines and sticks together with the peeled thorn skin. The peeled skin on the thorns was so wet, but it was dry and it was difficult to tie it into a knot. But what could we do? Now even the rope strips have become luxury goods, so who would be willing to do so?

Huaizi saw Lin Yutong squatting down for a long time and was struggling to do it, so she also wanted to squat down. Lin Yutong quickly stopped him, "Don't, the wound on your body cannot be stretched."

Huaizi took Changsheng, who was rushing to grab the seedlings, and then said, "These two nights, my teacher dreamed of the old man and the old lady. Do you say something will happen?"

Lin Yutong paused, "It's probably because she's thinking about something and dreaming about it at night."

"Yeah!" Huaizi sighed, "You know your body in your heart. I probably know it in my heart. I guess I can't see you off for the old man."

Lin Yutong was busy with his hands, not knowing how to respond. After a long time of silence, he said, "If he didn't smoke that thing, he might be able to wait for us. If he still smoked, it would be hard to say. But I guess, if Widow Liu doesn't see her elder brother for a long time, she will probably not be willing to buy cigarettes for the old man. But if she wants to continue to get the money, she has to serve the old man. No way, his life is not as comfortable as before, but by chance, he can live a few more years and wait until we go back."

This is really possible.

Huaizi mentioned Lin Dehai, but did not mention Lin’s mother. The two tacitly avoided this topic.

As he was talking, Song Kevin came. Huaizi took Changsheng to avoid it, knowing that there was something serious to talk about.

Lin Yutong didn't get up, but was still squatting to her. Song Kevin put his notebook into his pocket of clothes, and then squatted aside to help Lin Yutong.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong's heart was raised when she saw Song Kevin's frowning. He must have no good things in his appearance.

Song Kevin sighed: "Fortunately, after hearing yours, our medicinal materials are still quite stocked up. But there is not enough gauze."

Lin Yutong stopped suddenly, "Why is there not enough gauze? I remembered that I had hoarded a lot of it."

"The combat troops have allocated most of them, and they are more difficult than us." Song Kevin scratched his head, "There are stricter entry and exit of the border area now. I heard that when the young wife came back to her parents' home, her bags and skins would be confiscated. A foot of cloth or a thread cannot be brought in. This year it is not obvious, and clothes, towels and other old-year ones can still be used. But it only takes three or four clothes a year, and most people work hard, and the clothes are not grinding at all. Look at the hot weather, how many people are wearing cotton jackets and wearing open clothes, not to mention shoes and socks. Our gauze can only be recycled."

The difficulties were placed here, and Lin Yutong could not change them. She could only reflect the problem, and then she watched the bandages dried in the hospital from long to shorter, from white to yellow, and she couldn't bear to throw them away.

Then, the students in the school basically had no paper to use. Even the roughest hemp paper was gone. For two months, they basically couldn't buy meat. If they wanted to nourish Huaizi, they had to put on condoms in the middle of the night and occasionally catch a rabbit or two to replenish some meat.

When Changsheng ran away all over the ground and stumbled around the yard, it was time for Huaizi to recover from Qiqi, and it was time to return to the army.

"You must be careful." Lin Yutong told her again, "Remember, don't ask your sister-in-law to still have no home when she comes back."

Huaizi lowered his eyelids and responded softly. Then he held Changsheng and weighed it again and again, "Good boy, wait for my uncle to come back."

The Fourth Master took the child and called Huaizi to talk. Lin Yutong sorted out her luggage and put them in. She made several pieces of shirts and trousers, four or five pairs of cotton shoes, and cotton vests and cotton pants. Then she sent Huaizi out. Lin Yutong didn't leave her, so the Fourth Master took her out with her.

She stood in the cave and stared at Huaizi and watched her leave. She glanced at the school next door and saw An Lai hiding in the school gate. Seeing Huaizi passing by, she ran out and stood at the door and kept looking around. When she could no longer see the figure, she turned around and saw Lin Yutong on the high ground. She was stunned for a moment, and then went back to the office as if nothing had happened. This girl kept looking for excuses to find Huaizi for a while. Huaizi clearly refused. Later, she came again and hid in the study room and couldn't come out. Not everyone could enter the Fourth Master's study room. An Lai was a big girl's house. She had been so many times that she couldn't get any face. Later, there were fewer people. Lin Yutong thought she gave up, but she didn't expect that she would give up and didn't dare to let Huaizi see it.

He sighed in his heart, and walked up, and then went up. The guard squad and the farmland they reclaimed were the farmlands they had cultivated by themselves. This was the first year of land reclamation, and the land was also a raw land that had never been planted before, so even if the grain crops were planted, the yield would not be higher. In order to ensure stability, the Fourth Master ordered to plant more than half of the sweet potatoes, and the other hand was potatoes. The remaining fields around him were planting vegetables scattered, and most of them were pumpkins. This thing had a large yield. The Fourth Master went to send locusts, but the young men in the guard squad were busy. They were busy in the field with their shirtless hands. The sweet potato seedlings were cut back and dried, and they could be stored. In winter, even when the weather was in trouble next year, this thing could be used as vegetables and rice. Of course, fresh ones could be eaten. Recently, almost every day, the sweet potato seedlings were pinched with stick noodles and placed in the pot and steamed them to eat.

Seeing Lin Yutong coming, the shirtless young men smiled embarrassedly, and then lowered their heads and picked the premature tomatoes and stuffed them to Changsheng's teeth. The ground on the hillside was drier than the vegetable fields at home, so the vegetable melons were not as big as the ones at home, but showed signs of ripening early. In this way, the yield must be a bit.

The squad leader of the guard squad was Zhong Shan, a very capable young man. He pointed at the pumpkins on the ground, "I look like they are ripe. Sister Lin, go and have a look. If it is ripe, pick it. It won't grow anyway. Let's eat our Changsheng steamed pumpkin."

Lin Yutong really looked at it, "Okay, you will pick it later, I will make pumpkin cakes for you today. If you don't pick this thing, you may be harmed by the field rats and rabbits at any time."

As a result, the pumpkin cake was made in the evening, leaving two for the Fourth Master. He waited and couldn't wait for anyone to come back. After taking a shower and coaxing Changsheng to sleep, it was almost eleven o'clock before he heard something outside.

"Why is it so late? Where did you send someone to?" She lowered her voice and stood up to get him water and take a shower, but found that his pants were wet, "What are you doing?"

The Fourth Master smiled: "It's uncomfortable to wear wet clothes." As he said that, he sat on the bench and took off, "I talked about setting up a textile factory. After that, everyone went to the river to take a shower. I followed Da to snuggle it down."

Then how could I get my pants wet? Or all of them?

"You think they are all like us." The Fourth Master sighed, "Everyone has only one pair of pants. You said that you can not wear a shirt in summer, can you still not wear pants? But it's not the case. If it's dirty, go to the river to wash it. During the day, wash your pants and hang it on the shore. People soak it in the water and wait for 60% to 70% of the pants to dry before putting it on. When you wash it like this at night, you will come back in wet pants first, and hang it outside at night to wait for about 70% to 80% to dry tomorrow morning."

"If I catch up with an emergency meeting, Lin Yutong puts wet pants on the edge of the stove outside, and then continues to say, "Everyone is walking in wet pants?" When people get old, they all have to sit down and get sick.

The Fourth Master said naturally: "What else can you do if you don't do this? Running naked?" He went to the kang in a quick way, "so I was eager to set up my own textile factory. I may be a little busy recently and I don't care about my children. Without equipment, it takes some effort to transform it with the most original equipment."

So, Lin Yutong had to go to work and take Changsheng. He asked Qian Ni to play with her children. What should she do or what should she do. Fang Yun mentioned more than once that he asked Lin Yutong to put the child in Baoyu Hospital, but where could Lin Yutong bear to? The days of overcoming it will be over. Now Baoyu Hospital is not in Yan'an, but in Anbao County. It is not short distance from Yan'an. It is difficult to meet the child for half a year. Before, the child could hire a nanny before he was one year old, but now that the child is one year old, it is a bit unsuitable.

It's only Qian Ni's help. Such a child is so old that he has to sleep when he wants to sleep and eat when he is hungry. He often falls asleep on Qian Ni's back. But even so, he can't be sent home. He doesn't have himself and the fourth master at home, and the child refuses to stay. But Lin Yutong is busy and doesn't even have the ability to feel sorry for the child. When he cries to look for his mother, Qian Ni is carried away by Qian Ni, for fear that the crying will affect Lin Yutong's work. Later, Lin Yutong noticed it and realized that the child doesn't dare to cry, and he will be farther away from his parents when he cries.

"Call Qian Ni and follow me." The Fourth Master burst into tears when he saw Lin Yutong feeling distressed, so he reached out and touched the child's head. "But it may not be easy to follow me. He spends most of his time outdoors. The only benefit is that the child can see me." He asked Qian Ni to take the child to play nearby, and he ensured that he could see his father when he looked up.

So the first thing the child learned after walking was to pick up sheep dung. He took a small shovel and picked up the sheep dung on the road into the small basket Qian Ni was carrying. Because the person he saw the most on the road was the manure pickup. Looking at the child who came back every day to seek credit for him, Lin Yutong didn't know what expression to show.

At night, the couple sat opposite each other, and the sleeping children lying in the middle were worried. What should I do?

Qian Ni is definitely fine to take care of the child. She does her best, but there is a big problem in teaching the child. But this problem cannot be corrected by herself. Others are doing childbirth, but Qian Ni is watching the child. She can pick up feces while picking up feces and fat. It is worth commending.

The Fourth Master was silent for a long time before saying, "If you call Qian Ni, please follow you. If you call Bai Yuan and the child, I will look at you with a good eye from now on, and I will not leave my eyes."

Lin Yutong touched the child's head and looked at the child, unable to even say something he regretted giving birth.

The vegetables I grew from home slowly fell down, and the dishes on the table became richer. The half acre of vegetable fields in the front and back of the yard naturally had higher yields than other real estates. Qian Ni had about half the time to help deal with these vegetables. If you couldn't eat them, you should dry them into drying them, and then pickle them up quickly.

But many daily necessities are useless, such as toothpaste and toothbrush. The toothpaste has been replaced with salt, and the toothbrush has to be made by yourself, drill holes in the small wood chips, and then fix the hair of the horsetail.

At the meeting today, Lin Yutong was stunned as soon as she entered Mr. Antai's office. The old man had to wear reading glasses to see things. Now he still wears reading glasses, but a leg of glasses is replaced with a rope, hanging it on his ears. Seeing Lin Yutong looking at him, Mr. Antai waved his hand, "There is no way, even if he can repair it, there are no parts. Just make it work."

But many of these things can be made up for, but the hospital cannot make up for it. The inventory of Western medicine is getting smaller and smaller, and even alcohol has become a scarce resource.

Lin Yutong sat down and was about to talk about this, when Fang Yun hurried in, "It's late! It's late!"

Now there are only three of them in the meeting, and several doctors in Japan do not have this qualification. They are only responsible for the diagnosis and treatment.

Mr. Antai waved his hand: "It's good to come, I know you're busy." He went straight to the point, "They issued a notice again, requiring good hygiene work to ensure that the farm farm workers do not get sick."

How to guarantee this?

Fang Yun was completely a layman to this. She looked at Lin Yutong and waited for her to speak.

What can I do? Lin Yutong leaned behind the chair, "Before curing the disease, it can only be preventive and curing. What I mean is to ask students to go to the company and insist on giving them the company physical examinations they are responsible for every day. Just think it is practical learning."

"That's right." Fang Yun quickly answered, "I came late just now and went to a meeting. Didn't I write a report before and ask for the training of medical staff for each army? Now all those who can be sent from all over the country have been sent, and it has arrived a month ago. I just wanted to concentrate the personnel, so I waited for comrades who were around the world. Now there are more than 50 people here and I can start a shift."

Lin Yutong frowned, "Take them all here to open classes at school?"

Fang Yun nodded: "Many of the comrades who came here this time were sent back by the guerrillas fighting behind enemy lines. Their foundation is definitely not as good as these students, so Kobayashi, this task is still very heavy."

Fifty-eight blood ties, from all over the world, speaking different accents and wearing different clothes, most of them are gay men, with only thirteen lesbians. And there is also a person Lin Yutong didn't expect.

"Sister!" A woman wearing a floral shirt, grey pants and legs, and with short ears shouted at Lin Yutong, who was standing at the door waiting for students to enter the classroom.

Lin Yutong looked up and down: "Xingzi?"

"It's me!" Xingzi pulled Lin Yutong over, "Sister, you really haven't changed at all."

But Xingzi has changed. She is no longer the cowardly girl. She looks full of vitality with her eyes clearly distinguished from black and white.

Lin Yutong pointed to the class, "Go in to class first, and talk about it after class."

Seeing Xingzi strode into the classroom, Lin Yutong was still a little dazed. Should I thank Bai Kun for teaching in the Lin family compound? Yang Zi Xingzi was influenced by Bai Kun and accepted the Labor Party first. As a result, the same outcome was achieved, and he embarked on the same path. But even so, meeting Xingzi here still felt a bit unreal.

After class, Xingzi rushed to Lin Yutong, "Sister, are you doing well over the years?"

Lin Yutong smiled, "Go home with me first, and talk slowly when you go back." She didn't rush to talk about her affairs, but asked her: "Where did you go back then?"

Xingzi suddenly became silent and said for a long time: "I followed the Red Cross to Liaodong. Later, I was almost caught by the Japanese and rescued by the local guerrillas. I stayed." A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "Sister, I'm married."

get married?

Lin Yutong pushed open the door of the house and paused, then smiled as if nothing had happened, "Is that right? You are not young anymore, and it's time to get married." As she said that, she pulled her down and took out the washed tomatoes and cucumbers, "There are no good things, they are all grown by themselves, try it!"

Xingzi took a tomato and took a bite absent-mindedly, "It's quite sweet."

Where is it sweet? It's sour.

Seeing that her expression was obviously wrong, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is husband? Don't worry, you are here alone?"

"There is a gay man from the same team as me." Xingzi smiled, "He died in my man."

Lin Yutong was holding the water scoop and was planning to add water to the pot to cook, but after hearing this, he was stunned, "Sacrifice?"

Xingzi nodded: "On the second day of marriage, I was injured while performing a mission, and the wound eventually worsened."

"Are you okay?" Lin Yutong turned her head and asked.

Xingzi smiled, "I'm used to it when I see many comrades fall down. Besides, he has been sacrificing for two years."

It's been two years, and it's really a constant time.

"People still have to look forward." Lin Yutong said something that was not a comforting person. There are too many such things, and Lin Yutong feels it is no wonder. Several nurses who married out of the hospital before became widows and then remarried. Xiang Hongmei is one of them. People don't even have time to feel sad, so they have to start a new life.

Lin Yutong wanted to say something to comfort people, but Changsheng's voice came: "Mom and mother are back."

Xingzi was stunned, "Sister has a child, too?"

Lin Yutong responded casually and quickly lifted the curtain. Then she realized what Xingzi meant, "What? Are you giving birth to a child? Where is the child?"

Before Xingzi could answer, the Fourth Master came in with Changsheng in his arms. The two of them were covered in dirt. The Fourth Master did not see Xingzi, but only ordered Lin Yutong: "Give us some water quickly and see how thirsty we are."

"I'm thirsty! I'm thirsty!" Chang Sheng said and licked his lips, "Mom is thirsty."

Lin Yutong took the whisk and took the land on the father and son, then handed over a bowl of warm water. Changsheng put it on the edge of the bowl and drank a bowl in one breath.

"What are you doing? You're so thirsty." Lin Yutong gave the Fourth Master another bowl, and then said, "Look at who it is?"

The Fourth Master drank the water and raised his eyes: "Apricot?"

"Brother-in-law." Xingzi responded, but her eyes were on Chang Sheng, "It looks really similar to the eldest brother."

The Fourth Master smiled and looked at Lin Yutong with a little inquiry in his eyes.
