After eating, Wang Lin went in to rest again. Fang Shuli and Fang Shuqi were doing homework. Fangyuan had nothing to do, so she moved a chair at the door to bask in the sun.

Although it is winter now, the temperature in the house seems not to be as high as under the sun.

In fact, this is normal. There are only two houses and a small coal stove, which is of no use at all. It is better when cooking, and the fire is sealed after cooking.

The temperature in the room slowly dropped, which is why Fangyuan basked in the sun at the door. To be honest, this place was far different from the vegetable cellar where he lived.

The vegetable cellar I live in has become very dry because I often cook in it. The most important thing is that it is warm, very warm.

Time passed and the sky got dark. Fangyuan had already returned to the house. After the sun went down, it was much colder outside than inside.

At this time, Wang Lin had already gotten up and was preparing to pack up and go to work.

The door was pushed open, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old came in from the outside.

"Mom, I'm back." The girl shouted first when she entered the room.

"Well! I'm back. You go cook for your brothers and sisters, and I'll go to work."

"Brother?" The girl glanced into the room in surprise and saw Fangyuan.

"Ah! Is it you?"

To be honest, Fangyuan was stunned when he saw her, because she was the sister who sold him the barrel at the supply and marketing cooperative that day.

"Do you know each other?" Wang Lin looked at the two people and asked.

"Well! He came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things before."

"Oh! That's right!" Wang Lin nodded and said nothing more.

"But Mom, why did he come to our house?" asked the eldest sister Fang Shuhua.

"Stay at our house for now while your Uncle Jin goes to the city to make contact."

"That's it!"

Of course Fang Shuhua knew who Uncle Jin was. He was his father's comrade-in-arms, and he had directly transitioned from a soldier to a police officer.

"Okay, I'm going to work first, you take care of them." Wang Lin said as she walked out.

Just when she opened the door and was about to go out, Director Jin appeared at the door, and he was about to open the door and come in.

"Sister-in-law." Director Jin quickly called out.

"Why are you here at this time?" Wang Lin asked.

"I just came back from the city." After entering the room, Director Jin took off his hat and said.

Wang Lin was no longer in a hurry to go to work at this time and asked quickly: "How is it?"

"Sister-in-law, the city's welfare homes are also overcrowded now. There are too many orphans fleeing from outside this time."

"Uh! Then Fangyuan..."

"Fang Yuan? Sister-in-law, you have given me a name, so I feel relieved." Director Jin smiled and said.

"What are you worried about? His original name is Fangyuan."

"Ah! Such a coincidence, sister-in-law, what does this mean? It means that you two are destined!" Director Jin said exaggeratedly.

Not to mention Wang Lin, Fangyuan could tell that he was acting, and not only Fangyuan but also Fang Shuhua could also tell.

Because his acting is so bad, so bad that it is full of loopholes at a glance.

"Okay, stop talking about these useless things, just tell me what to do."

Hearing what Wang Lin said, Director Jin put away his previous words and said, "That's right, because there are too many people in the orphanage, the civil affairs department came up with a foster care method."

"Foster care? What does it mean?"

"Sister-in-law, there are already many examples in the city where children are fostered in other people's homes, and the civil affairs department provides food rations and daily necessities."

"What's going on with this kind of foster care? It's not good for the children!"

"That's right!" Director Jin nodded and continued: "There is another way, which is to settle down in a foster family."

After Director Jin finished speaking, seeing that Wang Lin didn't speak, he continued: "After the child settled in, his relationship changed. He received monthly rations according to a quota. Not only that, the civil affairs department also provided subsidies on an annual basis.

”

"What do you mean? Do you mean to let Fangyuan settle in our home?" Wang Lin looked at Director Jin and said.

"Sister-in-law, I actually feel like this is pretty good." After Director Jin finished speaking, he looked back at Fang Shuhua and the other three girls.

His glance already represented many things. Wang Lin could not understand what he meant. In fact, Wang Lin had already had this idea, and she just wanted someone with a legitimate name.

Her lover is no longer here. She went to join the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in 1952 and never came back.

She was originally just an ordinary housewife, but the state took care of her and arranged a job for her to become a formal employee.

There are only three girls in the family, and to put it bluntly, there is not even anyone to carry on the family line.

In fact, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that because they are both girls, they are easily bullied. It would be different if there was a boy.

If you have a boy, you will become the backbone of the family, and no one will dare to bully you anymore.

So Wang Lin is very happy about Fangyuan's arrival, and Fangyuan's surname is also Fang, so she doesn't even need to change her surname.

But she also knows that it is not that easy to take Fangyuan in. She must get a household registration! If it is a rural household registration, forget it, it is easy to get it, but this is a commodity grain household registration.

To be honest, I saw her resting that day. In fact, she never fell asleep because she was worried that Fangyuan would be sent to an orphanage in the city.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think? If it doesn't work, I will think of other ways."

"Okay, okay! Whoever says no, just settle down." Wang Lin said quickly, and a stone fell from her heart.

"Well! Tomorrow you take Fangyuan to the police station and register your household registration for him. In addition, I will take you to the civil affairs department to finalize the relationship."

Implementing the relationship means implementing food rations. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to apply for a commodity grain household registration, because the commodity grain household registration requires the purchase of grain according to a ration.

"Okay, I understand, I will take him there tomorrow morning."

Still the same as in the morning, no one asked Fangyuan whether he agreed or not, and the decision was made without even asking for his opinion, which made Fangyuan dumbfounded.

But he is still quite happy. At least he will have a family in the future and will no longer be a homeless child without a father, mother or home.

"By the way, sister-in-law, the civil affairs department also provides subsidies. For children from settled families, each person will receive an annual subsidy of sixty kilograms of white flour, sixty yuan, one kilogram of peanut oil, ten feet of cloth stamps, two kilograms of pork, and one kilogram of mutton. You can

You can pay zero per month, or you can get it all at once."

"Ah! So many?" Wang Lin was still very surprised. If you want to subsidize some money, then it should be because even if you have rations, you still need money to buy them.

But the gift is not only money, but also 60 kilograms of white flour, which is five kilograms this month. Her family of four originally only had eight kilograms of white flour a month.

In addition to white noodles, there are also one pound of peanut oil, two pounds of pork and one pound of mutton. I won’t mention the mutton because it is simply not available.

Two kilograms of pork, on average, costs about two taels a month, and it doesn’t require a ticket or money.

You must know that after the relationship between radius and radius is implemented, there will also be a ration of pork. This meat alone is equivalent to a person's ration for a year.

"Are you sure these are subsidies, not you..." Wang Lin looked at Director Jin in disbelief.

"Sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know what's going on in our family. With five or six children, plus my parents and my wife, the family of ten depends on my salary. Even if I want to help, I can't come up with it!

Director Jin said with a wry smile.

But what he said is right. Although his salary is much higher than that of ordinary employees, it is not that easy to support a family of ten.

"Is this true?"

"Sister-in-law, can I still lie to you! Besides, you need to go to the civil affairs department to get these things, and I don't get them for you."

"Okay!"

Wang Lin nodded, turned back to look at Fangyuan and said, "Come here."

Fangyuan ran over quickly, raised her head and looked at Wang Lin without saying anything.

Wang Lin knelt down, touched Fangyuan's face and said, "Call me mom, and you will be my son from now on."

"Mom!" Fangyuan was not polite at all.

Once he has a home, he is no longer a wanderer, but also has an identity, so he can do many things that he could not do before.

"Hey! Good boy." Wang Lin quickly hugged Fang Yuan tightly, and it took a long time to let go.

"You three, come here." After letting go, Wang Lin said to Fang Shuhua and the other three.

The three girls came over quickly. Wang Lin took Fangyuan's hand, pointed at Fang Shuhua and said, "This is your eldest sister Fang Shuhua."

"Hello, eldest sister."

"Hello! Little brother." Fang Shuhua said with a smile and touched Fangyuan's face.

She didn't seem to be unhappy at all about the addition of a younger brother to the family, and she seemed very excited.

"This is your second sister Fang Shuli."

"Hello, second sister."

"Yes!" Fang Shuli made a little sound from her nose, which was regarded as agreement.

But Fangyuan knew that she was only agreeing on the surface, and she didn't know how reluctant she was in her heart, but Fangyuan could understand it.
