A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.
Chapter 94: The Li and Lin Families, 5 Years Ago, They Were One Family
When Lin Yinyin returned to the military compound, she smelled a rich and mellow fragrance even before entering her home.
"Manager Kobayashi, you're back!"
Aunt Chen from next door was sitting at the gate of the courtyard picking vegetables. When she saw her enter, she immediately stood up with a smile.
Aunt Chen was known in the compound for not being able to tolerate others doing well, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yinyin was one of genuine admiration.
Today, more than seventy families in the military compound work at Lin Yinyin's mooncake factory.
When you mention this young factory director, everyone in the compound gives him a thumbs up.
A young woman, not yet twenty, single-handedly built a factory with a hundred employees.
Whose wife is so capable!
Even the most critical old ladies in the compound would sincerely praise Director Lin, saying, "He's amazing."
That's how people are; if their abilities are roughly equal, they're bound to compare themselves to each other and become jealous.
But if the other party's ability far surpasses one's own, one cannot even entertain the thought of catching up; all that remains is admiration and respect.
Aunt Chen was like that.
When the news first broke that Li Jinye was going to marry a "troublemaker," everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar, feeling that Li Jinye was getting the short end of the stick.
After all, he was the youngest regimental commander in the country. How could he have married a rural woman with no background and a bad reputation?
But later, everyone slowly realized that Commander Li had a sharp eye and had married a lucky little wife.
Take the dividends from the mooncake factory, for example. The Second Regiment gets a lot of money every month. Especially for those ordinary soldiers, whose wages are not much to begin with, who wouldn't be happy to get an extra five or six yuan? That's enough to eat a lot of stewed meat.
There are also the more than seventy women in the factory. In the past, they could only stay at home to do laundry and cook, and live off the tips from their husbands. Now they can work in the mooncake factory, supplement their family income with their own hands, and stand up for themselves in front of their parents-in-law. They are even more grateful to Director Lin from the bottom of their hearts.
"Aunt Chen, you haven't eaten yet?" Lin Yinyin nodded with a smile.
"Oh, no, I'm cooking right now. I was thinking of stewing a chicken to nourish myself."
Aunt Chen praised with a face full of envy, "I say, Comrade Xiao Lin, your mother-in-law dotes on you so much!"
I simmered the soup all night yesterday, and the smell made all our neighbors incredibly hungry.
The pot was boiling non-stop this afternoon, with dishes like pickled bamboo shoots and pork stew, and ham—many of which we'd never even heard of before.
"Seriously, your mother-in-law is so wonderful. I heard she's a person of high status in Beijing, but she's so down-to-earth and cooks delicious meals for you every day. It's truly rare."
"Aunt Chen is right. It's my good fortune to have met such a mother-in-law."
Okay, Auntie, I'm going back for dinner now. I'll chat with you another day.
"Alright, alright, go ahead, go ahead!" Aunt Chen waved her hand with a smile, "Don't go hungry, you're not alone now!"
Everyone in the compound knows that Comrade Xiao Lin is pregnant with the Li family's precious child.
Especially her mother-in-law, who has been wandering around the yard these past few days, mentioning to everyone that her daughter-in-law is in poor health and asking everyone to be more tolerant and accommodating.
Aunt Chen knew perfectly well that her mother-in-law wasn't showing off, but rather offering a reminder.
No one should disturb her daughter-in-law, and no one should let her suffer any grievances.
Tsk tsk tsk, she's lived most of her life and has never seen a mother-in-law who dotes on her daughter-in-law so much!
"Mom, what delicious food have you made again? The aroma is wafting out of the yard!"
He Jingxian, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and said, "Yan Du Xian (a type of stew)."
I specially made it for you today since you didn't get to eat it yesterday.
There's some extra ham over there; I cut some up for you and put it on that plate over there. Just grab it and eat it.
As she spoke, she pulled Lin Yinyin to the dining table.
Several plates of snacks were already laid out on the table, including Changbai cake, glutinous rice strips, and yam cake that she had specially made.
"Here, have something to eat first. You're pregnant, so you get hungry quickly. Dinner won't be ready for another hour."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
Lin Yinyin picked up a white cake from among the many snacks and stuffed it into her mouth.
The sweet and sticky texture made her squint her eyes. She ate two more bites of ham, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room and sleep for a while."
"Hurry up! Pregnant women often feel sleepy; more sleep is good for their health."
Lin Yinyin closed the door and eagerly sent the gourd-shaped jade pendant she was wearing into her spatial storage.
The familiar dizzying sensation came over her, but luckily she was prepared and lay down on the bed. In just two seconds, everything went black and she fainted.
When she woke up again, she found that it was already dark outside the window, but she didn't care how long she had been unconscious. She couldn't wait to slip into the space.
As soon as she entered, she was so shocked by the dramatic changes before her eyes that her jaw almost dropped.
Originally only three mu of land, it was expanded to a full thirty-six mu!
The dark soil was glossy and oily, and the leaves of the vegetables that had been planted earlier in the field were thick and green, two or three times larger than those outside.
The rows of soybeans are growing well, with pods so full they're about to burst open; even the little apple tree she planted casually a few days ago has grown to three or four meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and looks like it'll bear fruit soon.
"This is outrageous..."
Lin Yinyin muttered to herself, and was about to walk closer to see if the blue brick well had changed when she caught a glimpse of dust billowing towards her out of the corner of her eye!
Yes, it's dusty!
It was a group of chubby, round rabbits, numbering seven or eight hundred.
Leading the group was a giant white rabbit that was at least 1.2 meters tall!
Its fur is fluffy and thick, its limbs are strong and powerful, and its speed, its momentum, the way it pounces...
Holy crap!
Lin Yinyin subconsciously had a thought and flashed out of the space.
Her heart was pounding wildly. What had she just seen? The rabbits were so big! And there were so many of them!
Especially the one in the lead, it looked exactly like the giant Flanders rabbit she had seen in the apocalypse!
The Flanders Giant Rabbit, when fully grown, weighs over 40 pounds. Its meat is firm and chewy, its fur is smooth and warm, and it is as fast as a cheetah. If it were to fight a human, the human would not come out on top.
The main problem is that the speed is too fast for humans to react to!
Lin Yinyin poured herself a glass of water to calm her nerves!
Fortunately, there was only one leader rabbit. Otherwise, a group of rabbits that big would have rotted in the space rather than been released to White Flower Peak!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they didn't allow beings to become sentient!
"No, we have to leave tomorrow! They're multiplying way too fast!"
Lin Yinyin made up her mind that she would get them to Baihua Peak as quickly as possible!
She fears that if these rabbits become pregnant and reproduce in the next day or two, their numbers will grow to an even more alarming number in five days!
Lin Yinyin suddenly smiled when Baihua Peak was mentioned.
It seems that renaming it "Giant Rabbit Peak" would be more fitting!
Having made up her mind, Lin Yinyin took a deep breath and, with a thought, flashed back into the space.
This time, the panic from before was gone, and he was much calmer, calmly observing the changes around him.
The fog had dissipated, and the entire scene was now clearly visible.
Thirty-six acres of fertile black soil, an ancient well with blue bricks, and a log cabin.
Just then, Big White hopped over to her side.
Big White lowered its head and gently rubbed its fluffy head against her palm.
Lin Yinyin chuckled and reached out to rub its head.
"Big White, from now on, could you keep an eye on your little brothers for me? Don't let them run around everywhere, and don't let them scare me in groups anymore, okay?"
As if it understood, Big White nodded in a human-like manner.
Then he rubbed his wet nose against the back of her hand, wiggled his round bottom, and headed straight for the cabin.
Lin Yinyin immediately understood and quickly followed.
The wooden house is simple and elegant, with a wooden sign hanging on the eaves that reads "Bihu Xianju" (碧葫仙居).
Lin Yinyin: ...Did she wander into some kind of cultivation scene?
Curious, she pushed open the door and went inside. The wooden house was small and empty, with only a wooden table on which sat a book.
Lin Yinyin picked up the booklet, and a few words from it resolved her doubts.
It turns out that a thousand years ago, when the cultivation world was at its peak, this place was a place of cultivation for a rogue cultivator.
Later, the spiritual energy was depleted, the rules of heaven and earth changed drastically, the world line shifted accordingly, and all traces of spiritual objects disappeared.
These gourd-shaped jade pendants were originally a pair, one representing Yin and the other Yin. After the death of a highly accomplished cultivator, they were inherited by his disciples from his two different families.
"The Lin and Li families," Lin Yinyin murmured to herself. Five hundred years ago, they were one family!
Lin Yinyin continued reading and realized that it was all predestined.
