Chapter 4 Stupid Child
Her house is not hers now.
Lin Ying's father, Lin Xianliang, was an employee of the power plant. The power plant was not in the county before, but in Dongfanghong Town, which is thirty miles away.
Although Ninghe County is a county town, due to historical reasons, Ninghe County does not have railways. Instead, Dongfanghong Town, under its jurisdiction, is built on the edge of the railway line, and a railway power plant is also built in the town.
Since the Great Leap Forward to the Great Steel Making in 1958, the railway power plant has been relocated to Ninghe County and became the Ninghe County Power Plant.
Dongfanghong Town only retains one power supply station.
Lin Xianliang is an external electrician with strong business capabilities and is highly valued by the leaders. He and other workers were transferred to Ninghe Power Plant to work.
This time, the whole family had to follow him to Ninghe. His wife had to quit her job as a temporary worker in Dongfanghong Town.
But the family went to Ninghe and had no place to live, and the power plant was newly relocated. The construction work was incomplete and there was not even a staff dormitory. Many employees and their families like him who came from Dongfanghong Town rented houses near the power plant.
Lin Xianliang's family came late and moved from the town more than ten days ago. There were empty houses near the power plant, and they had already been rented out. The family could not rent the house, so they had to temporarily live in Lin Xianliang's younger sister Lin Guilan's house.
The home Lin Ying was looking for was the home of her younger sister-in-law Lin Guilan, who was located behind the textile factory.
"The textile factory is quite far from here, how did you come here?"
Thinking of the original owner's stupidity, she felt a toothache. She was so embarrassed to say that, so she had to vaguely say, "I just ran here as I walked!"
"I have to cook and sew clothes and paste paper boxes, and look at my younger brother and sister, so I can't go too far." Li Jia hesitated for a while, "Xiaofeng will be back later, let him take you back!" She explained again: "Oh, Xiaofeng, it's my younger brother. He brought you back yesterday. Do you know him?"
Lin Ying shook her head and said honestly: "I don't know him. What is his big name? What is your name, sister?"
Li Jia is a very honest girl, and she honestly said to her: "My name is Li Jia, just call me Sister Jia Jia. My second brother is Li Yifeng."
Lin Ying almost whistled, big star Li Yifeng!
However, after Li Jia's explanation, she knew that this was just a homophone.
After a while, Li Yifeng came back. He was carrying a broken iron bucket, which contained the coal cores burned by the power plant that he had picked up. The child was not tall and was not afraid of not being able to squeeze such a heavy bucket.
She muttered to listen to the brother and brother.
"You left this morning before four o'clock? Why did you go so early today? You went to pick up coal cores a few days ago and you could get home at seven o'clock. Why did you come back so late today?
Li Jia is also quite interesting. A small little girl, who looks smaller than Li Yifeng, but she nags like an old lady, "You are fighting with someone again? Look at you, I just repaired this clothes for you yesterday, but they are torn again today. Can you not fight with someone?"
Li Yifeng smeared his hand on his face casually, and instantly turned into a big face. He said impatiently: "Oh, don't worry, you can really nag, you are like a little old lady."
Li Jia said angrily: "I say you are still fighting every day! If I don't care about you, you still have to go to heaven... Oh, what's wrong with your hand? Let's see? Is it hot?"
Li Yifeng pulled his hand back as if nothing had happened and carried it behind his back, "It's okay, is there any food? I'm hungry."
"Yes, I'm leaving you porridge, eat it quickly!" As he said that, he quickly scooped him a bowl of porridge. Lin Jing listened to the sound as if the bottom of the pot was scraped, and then he served half a bowl of thicker wild vegetable porridge.
She said a little embarrassedly: "I have this little sister here today. I haven't counted cooking. I have made less in the morning. You eat first, and I will make it early at noon."
"No, all these are fine. If you do it early, you will be hungry early in the afternoon." Li Yifeng seemed to notice Lin Ying squatting beside him and frowned at the bucket of burned coal cores.
He frowned, "Why are you still staying at my house and not leaving? You haven't remembered where to live in your home yet?"
Li Jia patted him lightly and whispered to him: "Why are you talking to your sister like this? She already remembers where she lives. She is right behind the textile factory, but she is not familiar with the road. Please take her back after dinner! I asked my younger brother and sister to dig wild vegetables."
Li Yifeng was a little unhappy.
Lin Ying watched Li Jia leave the house and threatened him with her little fists, "If you dare not give me a gift, I will tell your sister what you have to do with my head!"
He told Li Jia that she had a headache, not that he had broken it, which means he was lying to her sister. No matter what the reason, Lin Ying felt that she could use it now.
As for children, they are all easy to scare and deceive.
Unexpectedly, Li Yifeng said indifferently: "It's up to you!"
Lin Ying stared at him, raised her chin and snorted: "Do you send it? Do you send it? Do you send it?"
In the end, Li Yifeng sent Lin Ying home.
But it was not because of Lin Ying's threat, but after Li Jia went out, she remembered something, so she came back and pulled him out and whispered for a long time.
After Li Jia left, Li Yifeng called her expressionlessly: "Let's go, I'll take you home!"
It can be seen that this kid is quite listening to his sister.
Lin Ying did not blame the child for breaking her head. She received the memories of the past few days and knew that although the child was wrong, the original owner was really not interested.
In this era, there were many children in the family and they were all wild. Although the original owner was a little girl, she was strong and outstanding in everything. However, her excellence was not because of her character and ability, but because of her food and clothing, she was rushing for the first place and she was hiding behind when working.
In order to catch up with the children's school day, the whole family followed their father to Ninghe in late August. Because the houses near the power plant had been rented out, the whole family had to squeeze in their sister-in-law's hut.
There will definitely be friction when two families are mostly in two rooms, and the conflict will be even greater.
The poorer you are, the more you are!
Yesterday was September 1st, and the school started.
There are many children in the family and they can’t afford to go to school. My elder sister Lin Miao only attended a literacy class for one year, so she shouldn’t just be blind.
The eldest brother Lin Jinghe and the second brother Lin Jingguo are both eight years old and now she is eight years old, so she is trying to go to school.
But when my family moved to the county town and lived in my sister-in-law's house, I had to give my sister-in-law five dollars every month as rent. My mother was pregnant and new to Ninghe, so it was impossible to go out to work as a temporary worker. The whole family of seven pointed to her father's monthly salary, and she could only eat food. In Ninghe County, it was not like she had a vegetable garden in Dongfanghong Town before, so she lived a tight life and couldn't afford to let her go to school.
