The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan stayed in Baixi Village for five days.

During these five days, Lin Xi basically cooked all the meals herself.

But the dishes were prepared for her in advance by Lin's mother and sister-in-law.

Including the day of the thank-you banquet.

Almost all the hardworking women in the village who had a good relationship with Lin's mother came to help.

Without Lin Xi's instructions, they had already consciously washed, cut and put aside the vegetables that Lin Xi wanted.

In this way, Lin Xi only needs to wait for the pan to heat up and then start stir-frying.

Even when it was inconvenient for her to serve those big dishes, Fu Huaichuan did it himself.

She didn't cause any trouble to others during the whole process.

Even though Lin Xiaotian and the others really wanted to help Lin Xi.

He also tried his best to do everything himself and didn't feel that it was shameful to help Lin Xi.

This also shocked the men in Baixi Village.

"Old Lin, is your son-in-law like this at home?" they asked Lin Baoquan secretly.

Lin Baoquan nodded and said, "Xiao Fu was worried about leaving Xixi with other people, so he insisted on keeping an eye on her himself. We couldn't persuade him, so we just let him go. He said that Xixi's hand was seriously injured, and if we don't keep an eye on her, her hand might become completely useless in the future."

"So serious?" The villagers were immediately shocked.

"Ah."

Lin Baoquan nodded, looking solemn.

"This is also my fault. I shouldn't have trusted outsiders so easily. Fortunately, our Xixi is smart and found a good in-law family and man for herself. Otherwise, her mother and I would never be able to get over it in our lifetime."

"Who would have thought that people out there are so bad!"

"How could I say that I don't agree with my son going out to work? Even if it's a little hard at home, at least he's still alive. Now the world is so chaotic and we don't know anything. If we blindly send our children out, they might end up worse off than those people over there."

The people over there that the villagers were referring to were those in the cowshed.

Although the villagers never deliberately made things difficult for that group of people, they did not dare to approach them easily for fear of being implicated.

"Xixi is now considered a capable person. Have you asked her to help your Dazhuang think of other ways out?"

"Xixi and Xiaofu have just been married for a short time, and their lives are not going well yet. How can they help Dazhuang with his future? Besides, isn't Dazhuang doing well the way he is now? There is no need to make a fuss about it. However, Xixi did tell me that people in the city get married late, so we should not rush to find a wife for Dazhuang for the time being. It won't be too late to wait until Erzhuang and Baoer graduate from high school. This way, the burden on the family will be lighter..."

Lin Baoquan revealed at the right time that they were not planning to arrange a marriage for Lin Dazhuang for the time being.

The villagers were stunned and said, "Then you..."

"Are you really not planning on finding a wife for Da Zhuang in the next two years?"

"Yeah." Lin Baoquan nodded.

"Da Zhuang, do you agree?"

The villagers immediately found Lin Dazhuang.

Lin Dazhuang has already learned from his grandfather that the college entrance examination may be resumed in a few years.

He also knew that Xixi, his grandfather, and his parents all hoped that he could pick up the high school textbooks he had thrown away.

If you have the chance, try to get into college.

What if I pass the exam?

It just so happened that Lin Dazhuang was not very keen on finding a wife.

So he immediately agreed to Lin Xi's suggestion.

Even if the college entrance examination is not resumed in the future, he will find opportunities to continue his studies instead of living in this small mountain village all his life.

Facing the villagers' inquiries, Lin Dazhuang smiled and nodded, "I didn't plan to find a partner before Erzhuang and the others graduated from high school."

"But there are already many children your age in the village. Aren't you anxious looking after them?"

"That's because they have fewer brothers. If they had as many brothers as I do, I guarantee they wouldn't want to get married just like I do!"

Hearing this, the villagers couldn't help laughing, but they could also understand why Lin Dazhuang didn't want to get married and have children. After all, this kid has never stopped taking care of the baby for a single day in these years.

"Xiaoguang, Dazhuang said he doesn't want to get married. What do you and Chen Xiang think?" a curious person asked Brother Lin.

Brother Lin: "Anyway, I have many sons, they can get married or not if they want to. I don't believe it. I have so many sons, but none of them want to get married when they reach the age!"

"I have to say, with so many sons, you are more confident, but your family will soon be through with the end of the world."

"After Erzhuang and Baoer graduate from high school, there will be three people earning a salary in their family, but there are only three people studying. Besides, there is Xixi to subsidize them. These hard days will soon be over!"

"If I had known this, I would have let my son go to school. After all, a high school graduate shouldn't have trouble finding a job, right?"

"That requires them to have a talent for studying!"

"Too."

……

It seems that the Lin family is about to get through this difficult time.

Everyone is envious, jealous and regretful, but if they are asked to use all their family’s resources to support their children’s education for decades, they may not be able to do it.

It was not until 1978 that four college students appeared in the Lin family, including Lin Xi.

The villagers truly regretted their actions, but that is a story for later.

They are still feeling sorry for Lin Dazhuang.

I feel that he has sacrificed too much for his younger brothers in the Lin family.

But they were extremely satisfied with the Lin family's thank-you banquet, so on the day Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan left Baixi Village, many villagers brought them mountain products they had specially prepared for Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan, including various kinds of wild mushrooms, wild spring bamboo shoots, and even wild rabbits and pheasants.

Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan refused resolutely, so they took advantage of Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan's inattention, threw the mountain products in their hands into the tractor that was picking up Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan, and then turned around and ran away.

By the time Fu Huaichuan and Lin Xi reacted, the tractor was already filled with all kinds of wild mountain products.

In order to thank the villagers for their friendship, Lin Xi collected a large number of old clothes and sent them to Lin's father and mother after returning to the city.

Many of them were asked by her from Xie Huaiyun.

The villagers were so happy when they received those old clothes that it felt like New Year's Day. After all, many of the clothes Lin Xi sent them were newer than what they were wearing.

But Lin Xi had collected everything she could from her surroundings, so she wouldn't be able to send clothes to the villagers for a while.

Even so, the villagers didn't mind and even nodded in understanding.

They knew that Lin Xi must have gone through a lot of trouble to get so many old clothes for them, so how could he send old clothes to the village frequently as if it were free? City people are not fools, and many of them live worse than they do. After all, you have to spend money to buy everything in the city.

So after the villagers discussed it with the Lin family, they sent a large bag of dried mountain products to Lin Xi after he took Fu Ning and the three children to join the army. Of course, this is a story for later, as Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan had just set out on the road back to Lingcheng.
