A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

There were sixteen letters in total.

Looking at the dates, the oldest letter was sent eight years ago, and the newest was just last month, exactly one every six months. The address in both letters is the Hebei Provincial Military Region.

Good, she knows her sister's address now. She'll go north to find her sister after she gets her revenge.

Lin Yinyin first opened the oldest letter, and a folded five-yuan note slipped out from the letter.

In this era, a meat bun cost 5 cents, and a human life cost 50 yuan. Her sister, who had just arrived at the military region, suddenly sent her 5 yuan.

She quickly opened all sixteen letters, and sure enough, each letter contained a five-yuan bill, totaling eighty yuan over the past eight years.

Lin Yinyin suddenly felt a stinging sensation in her nose, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that Lin Dayong was blind.

If he could read, these letters would have been opened long ago.

She read all the letters word by word, and every line revealed Lin Huizhi's longing for her younger sister.

"Yinyin, it's getting cold. Let Mom make you a thick cotton-padded coat. If Mom refuses, just write to me secretly and I'll send you cloth coupons."

"Yinyin, don't wash clothes with cold water when working in winter, or your hands will easily get frostbite."

"Yinyin, don't eat all the coarse grains the team distributed. Save some to exchange for fine grains. Your stomach isn't good, so eat more millet porridge. I have money."

"Yinyin, I remember you like red hair ties the most. I asked the cook to buy you two yesterday. I'll give them to you when you come."

"Yinyin, don't always stay cooped up in the house. Spend more time with the girls in the village. If you suffer any grievances, don't hold back. I'm right here with you."

"Yinyin, come find me at the military region! I've managed to get a family visit permit. I'll take you to eat candied hawthorns in the city and see the movie 'The Red Detachment of Women.' We women must be brave and strong. Women can hold up the sky too, and no one can bully us!"

......

In the last letter, the older sister drew a little sun and wrote next to it: "Yinyin, be like the little sun, eat well, grow up well, your sister is waiting for you."

Lin Yinyin touched the big sunflower, and tears fell without warning.

She knew that the grief in her heart was far from that point.

The remaining consciousness of the original owner was moved by this belated concern.

Lin Yinyin simply curled up in the tree hollow with the letter in her arms, letting the original owner's emotions surge out and bursting into tears.

She cried until her throat was hoarse and her whole body was exhausted before she gradually stopped.

She touched her chest, and the stiffness there disappeared, making her feel lighter.

She thought the original owner must be relieved, relieved that she would take revenge, relieved that she would go to find her sister, so she left completely.

After composing herself, Lin Yinyin took out the big pink pig from her spatial storage.

Her space is 100 square meters, and the air inside is thin. Any living thing that enters it cannot survive for more than ten minutes. Many scientists in the post-apocalyptic world have not been able to find a way to upgrade it.

At this moment, the big pink pig had already suffocated, and she pulled out a kitchen knife from inside.

Squatting under the tree, he deftly bled and removed the hair from the pig.

Her post-apocalyptic survival experience made her adept at handling these tasks. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she had already dismembered the pig into eight pieces. She packed the four pig legs into a sack, hoisted it onto her shoulder, and headed towards Wang Erhua's house.

A dull thud sounded at the doorway, startling Wang Erhua, who quickly came out of the house.

When she saw the burlap sack oozing blood, her eyes widened in shock.

what is this?

This blood is everywhere... could it be Lin Dayong's corpse?

"Cough cough." Lin Yinyin looked at Wang Erhua, who was biting her lip, clutching her heart, and trying to appear calm, and said, "Aunt Erhua, there's meat in here."

"Okay, come in quickly, don't let anyone see us, we can live for a couple more days."

Lin Yinyin: "..." Four pig legs, that shouldn't be enough to kill someone...

"Hey, Aunt Erhua, I just ran into a fellow villager on the mountain. He hunted a pig, and I bought all four legs."

Lin Yinyin pretended to pat her pocket, "Don't worry, the money is what I secretly saved up before."

I'm craving meat, could you cook some for me?

Wang Erhua:........

Thank goodness, it's not a matter of human life.

But silly child, she's not blind.

Whose wild boar is pink?

Also, the stamp on this pig's leg is still there!

Each village has a fixed number of pigs, and this one should belong to Lin Dayong's family.

However, she didn't say much; even Lin Dayong's pigs were better than Lin Dayong himself.

Besides, the pigs were all fed by Yin Yin, so now that she's eaten them, she deserves to die!

So, Wang Erhua readily accepted the offer, picked up the pig's leg, and headed towards the kitchen.

"These four big pork legs are no light at all, each weighing over ten kilograms. Yinyin, you've come to the right person for cooking!"

Back in the day, my maternal grandmother's family were renowned pig butchers in the village. There was no pork or offal that my family couldn't make!

"Just you wait, your auntie will make you the most authentic braised pork knuckle!"

Lin Yinyin smiled and agreed, then pulled a small packet of sugar from her pocket: "Aunt Erhua, adding this to the sauce will make it taste even better!"

"Okay."

Wang Erhua accepted it with a smile, as she happened to be out of rock sugar.

The firewood was burning brightly, and the flames were crackling.

Before long, the rich aroma of braised meat filled the entire kitchen and drifted far away through the cracks in the windows and doors.

Fortunately, everyone was at work in the afternoon, so there weren't many people around; otherwise, it would have attracted a lot of attention.

However, the aroma still attracted an uninvited guest.

Lin Yinyin moved a small stool and sat by the pot, propping her elbows on her knees, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at the pot lid, not even daring to blink.

Seeing her greedy look, Wang Erhua couldn't help but laugh: "Let's take it out of the pot right away."

Lifting the lid, Lin Yinyin saw that the pork leg inside was stewed to a bright red color, with a thick sauce, and was trembling and tender. She squinted her eyes.

"It smells so good..."

She couldn't wait to pick one up with her chopsticks.

"Hot! Hot! Hot!"

Wow, it smells so good!

She hadn't eaten braised meat in ten years.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"

Wang Erhua smiled and ladled another large piece into the rough porcelain bowl for her.

"Don't just eat meat, have a flatbread to tide you over. Eating too much oily food at once will upset your stomach. I'll put the rest of the meat in a bowl for you to take home and eat slowly."

Lin Yinyin was chewing on a biscuit when she heard this, her eyes lit up, "Auntie, wait for me!"

He turned and ran outside as soon as he finished speaking.

A short while later, a brand new red washbasin was brought back.

Wang Erhua's lips twitched when she saw this.

The brigade leader's wife had previously boasted that her family had bought a double happiness red basin.

That was a hot commodity at the supply and marketing cooperative; her family was the only one in their Chaoyang brigade to have it.

This must be the one belonging to the brigade leader, but she pretended not to know.

She scooped the braised pork hock from the pot into a large bowl, which was almost overflowing.

"Yinyin, quickly take it out to the yard to air it out and let the smell dissipate. Otherwise, when everyone gets off work, they'll smell it."

I still need to process two more thighs; that's enough for another pot.

"Okay!"

Lin Yinyin happily picked up the basin, but stopped abruptly as soon as she stepped out of the kitchen.

That man appeared again.

Li Jinye was drawn in by the enticing aroma. Looking at Lin Yinyin, he asked somewhat shyly, "Um... is this meat for sale?"

"What if I don't sell it?" Lin Yinyin retorted.

Who is this man?!

He's always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and she didn't want to pay him any attention at first, but now that he's trying to steal her meat, she absolutely won't stand for it!

"I'll buy it with money!"

"Not for sale!"

"Exchange it for a watch!"

"Not for sale!"

Li Jinye looked at Lin Yinyin, who was determined to protect her food, and felt somewhat helpless.

Actually, he could have been a bit more cunning; if he had just threatened her, she wouldn't have gotten any of the meat.

However, he is not that kind of person.

"Ahem, I'm investigating something, and this meat is the key."

"The person you're investigating is in Linjia Village?" Lin Yinyin pressed for the core of the matter.

"Um."

"You're a soldier!"

"Hmm." Li Jinye believed that the little fox had already guessed this. So there was no need to hide it.

"Alright. I want the watch you're wearing."
