Yu Xin was about to leave after she finished speaking, but was stopped by Lu Changwei.
Lu Changwei's face flushed. "Don't leave. Let's go and explain to the Party Secretary. What do you mean I have feelings for Captain Lin? What do you mean? You can't just make it up when your upper and lower teeth clash?"
Seeing Lu Changwei's face change, Yu Xin immediately felt something was wrong and said with a smile: "Teacher Lu, you are too nervous. Who would take it seriously if it's just a joke? Haha, don't take it seriously."
Another male educated youth laughed and said, "Captain Lin is interesting in what he says and he's good-looking. There are many people who admire him. There's nothing wrong with him."
Yu Xin immediately said, "Yes, we also admire Captain Lin. That's what we mean by admiration. Teacher Lu, don't be nervous."
After they said this, Lu Changwei naturally couldn't say anything more, and everyone left in a bad mood.
It had rained for a few days, so the children had a day off today and everyone got up early in the morning.
Wheat ears cooked, Han Qingsong went to the well to fill the water jar and then went to the river to fetch water to irrigate the vegetable fields, Dawang and Erwang went to the production team to work on the fields or to carry forks for cotton to earn work points. Sanwang and Xiaowang were not idle either, the two brothers went to cut grass for the production team to feed the livestock and also earned work points. Lin Lan chopped peppers and pickled a small pot to prevent the eldest son from missing a meal.
We worked all morning and then came back to have breakfast together.
Lin Lan sent Han Qingsong to the door, but he held her chin and kissed her quickly. She was so scared that she looked around quickly, fearing that she would lose face if someone saw her.
Fortunately, there is no one!
Han Qingsong said goodbye to her with a faint smile on his lips, and rode his bike to work.
Lin Lan turned around and went home, and bumped into Sanwang. "Hey, little San brother, what are you doing? You're sneaking around."
Sanwang's eyes were full of stars. "Mom, you are guilty. I came here in a swaggering manner. How could I be sneaky?"
Lin Lan patted her chest and asked, "What are you doing?"
Sanwang: "Looking for you."
Lin Lan: ...I'm not going out today, and you're looking for me? You're probably looking for a fight.
She chased after Sanwang and tried to tickle him.
Sanwang immediately took her hand and said, "Mom, let me ask you a question. Among spring, summer, autumn and winter, which one do you like best?"
Lin Lan said without hesitation: "Xia Tian."
Sanwang: "Same as me, why?"
Lin Lan: "The days are long in the summer, and we can get a lot of work done from morning to night." As long as Director Han shows some mercy, she won't oversleep, and she can get a lot done the next day.
Sanwang laughed loudly and pulled her home, "You heard me, I told you that mom must like summer as much as I do, because there is endless time from morning to night."
While eating breakfast, Sanwang was sighing: "Summer is so nice. From the moment I open my eyes to the moment I close them, I feel like I have lived twice as long as winter. What a steal!"
Mai Sui laughed at him, "What do you earn? The sun rises and sets, and a day is 24 hours."
Sanwang argued: "It's daylight saving time now."
Erwang: "Daylight saving time is also 24 hours a day, no more, no less."
Sanwang asked his elder brother, but Dawang was too lazy to answer such a stupid question.
Sanwang ran out to seek support from Lin Lan. Now that he got the answer, he proudly showed off to his brothers and sisters, "You heard it, mom also said that summer is long."
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. In winter, the nights are long and the days are short. They add up to the same thing, hahaha."
Sanwang: "...Mom, I think summer is longer than winter, right?"
Lin Lan: ...My silly son, you should study hard. Feelings and reality are inconsistent.
Sanwang then asked Xiaowang what he liked. Xiaowang said, "I like winter just like my dad, which is the opposite of you."
Sanwang: “Why?”
Xiaowang: "The nights are long in winter, so I sleep more, haha."
Lin Lan said to the children, "You guys go out and play today. I'll be at home making clothes."
As the children grow up, their clothes become smaller day by day. You can’t wear last year’s clothes this year. Spring clothes become too short in summer and too tight in autumn, so they need to be altered or made new in time.
Lin Lan never wanted to make clothes too big for her children, because if they were too big, they would be sloppy and messy, and a good child would be made ugly. So the clothes would become too small quickly. For example, for Dawang, Erwang, Sanwang, and a few others, the clothes would become too small after about two or three months, and they had to be altered frequently. Fortunately, with a sewing machine, Lin Lan was not afraid of the trouble.
When Sanwang heard about making clothes, he immediately said, "Mom, I don't want short sleeves, I want a vest, I want to show my arms."
Lin Lan: "...your eldest and second brothers specifically told you not to show your arms, so why did you still do it?"
Da Wang and Er Wang specifically asked to wear short sleeves to cover their upper arms because their classmates always liked to stare at them. First, they wanted to see Da Wang's good figure, and they were also surprised that Er Wang, who was so well-mannered, had such beautiful muscles. They were annoyed by being stared at, so they just covered their clothes and didn't let others see them.
Sanwang: "Short sleeves are so troublesome, I have to unbutton and unbutton them. I'll just wear a sack like Xiaofu."
Han's second sister-in-law was too lazy to worry about the child, so she made a big pocket for Xiaofu to save fabric. He wore it as a single garment in spring and autumn, a cotton coat in winter, and simply removed the sleeves to wear it as a short-sleeved shirt in summer. But Lin Lan didn't think it was a good idea, as the child was active and the shirt would be worn out before it was too small. It would take a lot of time and fabric to mend it, and if it wasn't mended, he would look like a beggar, which was really an eyesore.
But Sanwang was very jealous, thinking it was easier to dress and take off clothes that way.
Lin Lan: "...Brother Xiaosan, why didn't I know you were so lazy? Can buttoning a shirt make you tired?" You jump up and down all day, digging out bird nests and feeding rats, that's tiring.
"Mom, how can you say you're lazy when it comes to doing this? It saves time." Sanwang argued.
Lin Lan smiled: "Okay, I can make the vest more easily."
She originally thought that children should wear vests, and when they grow up they should wear more formal clothes, but since he likes it, it is easier.
Lin Lan didn't restrict them and let them have fun on their own during the finally given day off.
She also encouraged Da Wang to take his brothers and sisters out to play, instead of staying at home. She felt that Da Wang had really started to enter puberty, becoming more and more quiet and silent, and not talkative. When he was not in class, he went to work to earn work points, or he went to cut grass. When he had some time, he either practiced slingshot or other things. He also learned military boxing from Han Qingsong. Lin Lan saw that he was very vigorous and had a lot of fighting skills.
However, Lin Lan found that although he was silent and looked serious, his eyes were actually softer than before, so she was not worried. As long as the child is not withdrawn, it is okay to be a little introverted, as everyone has his own personality.
Erwang started to like following Han Yongfang around, helping him with the brigade's accounts or giving him advice. Although he was young, he had a quick mind and could come up with good ideas to help solve problems, which made Han Yongfang praise him repeatedly. Han Yongfang even said, "Son, study hard. If you are not allowed to go to college or work in the city after graduating from Lianzhong, Grandpa will recommend you to be a cadre in the commune."
Team leader: Listen, whoever said that the branch secretary doesn’t know how to praise others, that’s not to his eyes, his way of praising others is different!
Sanwang was naturally not idle either. He took Xiaowang to cut grass, swim, and catch fish. In the afternoon, he wandered around catching cicadas. Now that he had learned all the skills from his elder brother, he could win without Dawang's help.
Mai Sui sometimes goes out to play with girls, but most of the time she stays at home reading books or helping Lin Lan with something.
Today she stayed at home to help Lin Lan make clothes.
Lin Lan took out all the fabrics, some that she had saved and some that Lin Mei had given her. She also found a few of Han Qingsong's old clothes.
Han Qingsong wore a uniform, except for his underwear which was made at home, and the rest was made all year round. Lin Lan did not give away his old clothes, after all, he only had two sets of clothes to change, and the clothes he wore every day were soaked with his breath, so she did not want to give them to others. But it was not a solution to keep them forever, after all, Da Wang could not wear them.
Mai Sui smiled and said, "Mom, I'll help you design it."
She lifted up her long and big pants and gestured, feeling that she could fit her whole body in them.
"Mom, the knees are worn out, so just cut off the top and modify the bottom to make pants and a vest for Xiaowang. Use a sewing machine to make the patch inside the buttocks firmer, and give it to my dad as pajamas in the summer."
Lin Lan's eyes lit up. "The eldest lady is becoming more and more creative. Great! Let's change it like this."
She picked up another shirt of Han Qingsong's and said, "What about this one? Please design it for me."
Mai Sui took it and fiddled with it this way and that. It seemed a bit of a waste to cut it, but it would be kept for her elder brother for many years. Finally, she had an idea and began to practice on Lin Lan, altering it this way and that, and turned it into a sleeveless dress.
Han Qingsong is tall, and Lin Lan is 163cm tall, so his shirt looks like a skirt to her.
Lin Lan: "Girl, you can do it!" She also admired Mai Sui very much. How did she keep up with the modern trend of changing her boyfriend or husband's shirt into her own skirt.
The mother and daughter discussed and modified the design together, and after working for a long time, they finally finished making Lin Lan's skirt.
Mai Sui asked Lin Lan to put it on quickly.
Although Lin Lan is not very tall, she has good proportions, big breasts, a slim waist and long legs. She looks surprisingly good in the shirt.
Mai Sui's eyes started to sparkle with stars, "So beautiful!"
Lin Lan boasted for a while and said, "My dear girl, it is beautiful, but I can't wear it out."
In the eyes of Lin Lan, a modern soul, it is really fashionable, but if she wears it outside, she will probably be caught.
Mai Sui thought about it and said with a smile, "Then just wear it at home, it's cool." Dad will definitely be happy.
Since she wasn't going out anyway, Lin Lan just wore it at home, wearing the shorts she made herself on the bottom and a shirt skirt on the top.
At noon, Sanwang and Xiaowang came back from catching cicadas. They were holding a large bunch of them, fluttering around. They called for their mother as soon as they entered the door.
Lin Lan and Mai Sui hurried out to pick them up.
Sanwang was dragging a big pole, Xiaowang was holding a bunch of cicadas, and they stared at Lin Lan with their mouths wide open, "Wow~~ Mom, you are so beautiful!"
Lin Lan turned around and said, "It looks good, doesn't it? My sister designed it."
"It looks good, really good!" The two children nodded vigorously.
When it was time to eat, Da Wang and Er Wang came back. When they saw Lin Lan, they were stunned. Er Wang immediately praised her, "Mom is more fashionable than the people in the city, and more beautiful than the ones in the advertisements."
Da Wang couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, the publicity team asked Lin Lan to attend a meeting. She quickly changed her clothes and went out. When she came back in the evening, Han Qingsong was already at home.
He was sitting in front of the sewing machine, fiddling with the altered shirt in his hands. The children were talking about how beautiful their mother looked in it, and he felt particularly itchy. When he saw Lin Lan coming back, he immediately handed the clothes to her.
Although they were an old married couple, Lin Lan blushed and said, "We were just doing it for fun."
Han Qingsong started to help her unbutton her short-sleeved shirt.
Lin Lan immediately pressed it down and said, "Cook first."
Erwang outside: "Mom, dinner is ready."
Lin Lan: “…” How come you are so fast?
Han Qingsong's slender fingers moved quickly to help her take off her short-sleeved shirt. Underneath the short-sleeved shirt was a women's vest that outlined the beautiful curves of her breasts, which made his eyes darken.
Lin Lan felt as if his burning gaze had become real. She quickly snatched the clothes and put them on. Then she felt his gaze become even hotter.
He placed his big hands on her shoulders, pulled up her collar to cover her beautiful collarbone, and then buttoned up the top button to hide her snow-white skin. However, something bulging underneath was about to burst out.
His Adam's apple moved up and down, he looked at it for a moment, and finally concluded: "...It's good to wear it to sleep at night."
Lin Lan: ...This is a fashion style, not a sex play style!
It was obvious that Director Han had already put his clothes on his wife as sexy pajamas, and was very much looking forward to it.
After dinner, the children went to find Zhiliaogui, while Lin Lan and her daughter Mai Sui made other clothes.
Lin Lan collected cloth to make skirts for her daughter. In order to save cloth, Mai Sui did not make a dress but a half-skirt with short sleeves, which could be matched with more clothes.
Around nine o'clock, the children came back to wash and go to bed. Han Qingsong also helped Lin Lan wash clothes, tidied up and got ready for bed.
After the children got on the kang, Lin Lan said goodnight to each other and cleaned herself up. She went to the bathroom to take a shower, wiped herself casually, put on the shirt as pajamas and went back to her room.
Han Qingsong was fanning mosquitoes and putting up the mosquito net. He turned around and saw her standing in the light. She was wearing his clothes, her chest was bulging up and down, and water drops fell along her hair and sank into the depths of her beautiful collarbone, soon soaking her chest, outlining the beautiful curves inside. More water drops continued to slide down her chest along her skin, and his eyes followed them, seeing two slender and white legs.
To him, this scene went beyond seduction and was definitely destructive.
He just felt the blood rushing to his head, and some parts of his head were swollen badly.
Lin Lan closed the door, took a towel and wiped her hair roughly before climbing onto the kang. When she got on the kang, she pulled her shirt up to her waist. Naturally, she had no idea how this posture seduced and impacted him.
Seeing him raising his hands to release the mosquito net but not moving, she reminded him, "Third brother, what are you doing?" As a result, she felt her waist tighten and was already gripped by strong and powerful arms.
…
…
So that night, Director Han, who has always been conservative and rigid but energetic, unlocked a new posture without any instruction.
When she was exhausted, she wanted to ask him, "Why don't you take a rest tomorrow? Why are you so unrestrained?" But she didn't have the energy to ask him in the end.
…
On this day, Lin Lan was making a skirt for her daughter at home. Mai Sui designed it herself. It uses less fabric than a pleated skirt, but has the style of a pleated skirt. It is very beautiful, but it tests one's technique.
Dong Huaihua was busy when she brought two young women over. "Lin Lan, what are you doing at home?"
Lin Lan was listening in the room. Since she knew him well, she didn't need to go out, so she called out, "Director Dong, come in quickly."
After entering the house, Lin Lan found that there were other people. They seemed to be educated youth from Yongxing Brigade. She couldn't remember their names. She stood up quickly and said, "We have guests. Sorry for being inconvenient. Please take a seat."
After a few pleasantries and introductions, Lin Lan invited everyone to sit in the main room and went to pour water.
Yu Xin immediately said, "Captain Lin, don't worry, we are not thirsty."
She exchanged a glance with another educated youth named Hao Liru, and then looked at Lin Lan's home.
The homes of rural residents are generally short, dilapidated, dirty, and messy, with decades of accumulated dust and a foul stench.
But Lin Lan's house is tall, spacious and bright. Although the tables and chairs are ordinary, they are clean and not greasy at all. The roof is also clean and there are no cobwebs.
They were both very surprised. They didn't expect that Lin Lan, who was known for being lazy, had such a clean home.
Dong Huaihua smiled and said, "Lin Lan, these two educated youth also want to set up a propaganda team for their brigade, and they came to ask you for advice on how to do it. Please give me some pointers, I'll get busy first."
Although the Yongxing Brigade would also compete with them if it established a propaganda team, they didn't care because Dong Huaihua believed in Lin Lan's ability. Even now, the commune and other brigades also have propaganda teams, but don't they invite them to give lectures and exchanges every few days?
Not to mention other things, just how to balance flexibility and dogma is something that others cannot do.
It was too casual, angered the officers, and they were disbanded immediately.
It's too rigid. Employees don't like it and simply don't support it.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Just go."
Yu Xin: "Captain Lin, can I visit your home?"
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Of course. Actually, there's nothing to see, just three rooms and a yard." She still led them on a tour.
Yu Xin and Hao Liru were more and more surprised the more they watched.
After they went to the countryside, they also saw that some officials' homes were more upscale than Lin Lan's, but not as clean and tidy as this one. It was obviously an ordinary country home, so why did it look so comfortable?
Not only is the space comfortable, the color tone also has an indescribable beauty.
The kangs in other people's houses were all grey and black, but theirs were covered with newspapers. The hook of the mosquito net was even decorated with a flower sewn on it, and their pillows were covered with pillowcases like those of the people in the city.
It was not bought ready-made, but made by myself using old homespun cloth, on which a few simple patterns were stamped using a sewing machine. Although it is rough and unrefined, it is unusually harmonious with the surrounding environment.
The yard outside was originally very spacious, but they opened a vegetable patch, which mainly grew tomatoes, onions, and leeks. Trees were planted at the base of the wall, and the shadows of the trees were swaying in the yard, creating a rich green atmosphere. The thatched house, thatched toilet, duck coop, chicken coop, and dog kennel were all in order.
“There’s even a bathroom!”
“It’s so luxurious!”
Even people in the city don't have their own bathrooms, and many have a house the size of a palm with seven or eight people sleeping in it, which is extremely crowded.
The director’s wife really knows how to enjoy herself!
The two of them added another one to Lin Lan's already lazy plan.
It is not easy for ordinary people to build a house, but their house has such a big yard and it is kept so well. How much advantage must they have taken away!
Yu Xin felt a sense of justice in her heart. She thought that Lin Lan must be greedy, and if she gave him some benefits, it would not be difficult to ask him for help.
She and Hao Liru exchanged looks and actually came up with a clever idea. They could first pay Lin Lan to help, and then report her in an anonymous letter after they succeeded!
Not only can he accomplish his own tasks, but he can also eliminate harm for the people.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Lin Lan saw the two people looking around with a curious look on their faces, but they didn't talk about work, so she was a little bored. She was busy making clothes for her daughter, so how could she have the time to hang out with the two of them? So she invited them back to the house and asked what was going on.
Yu Xin smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."
Lin Lan: "...If you have nothing else to do, I'll get busy first?"
Hao Liru immediately said, "Captain Lin, you are busy."
Yu Xin gave her a dissatisfied look, and Hao Liru felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Lan had no idea what they were doing, so she continued making clothes.
Yu Xin and Hao Liru went in to take a look. Yu Xin said, "Captain Lin, it's really convenient that you have a sewing machine at home. I can also use it. Why don't I help you?"
Lin Lan shook her head. "Why bother you? Please sit down."
The two of them sat on the edge of the kang, watching Lin Lan make clothes, and then found topics to chat.
Yu Xin wanted to test Lin Lan, so she started talking, "Captain Lin, there's a new type of Dacron that's popular in the city right now. It's crisp and cool, and it's beautiful to wear in the summer. Why don't we buy some of that?"
Dacron?
Lin Lan thought about it. Dacron is polyester, right? How can it be as comfortable as cotton? Nowadays, people want linen, cotton, wool, and goose down. Who wants Dacron?
Fashionable Lin Lan is not rare, and it is so expensive.
Seeing that Lin Lan's expression remained unchanged, Yu Xin knew that she had never seen the world and didn't understand anything, so she gave Lin Lan an introduction to the various kinds of cloth and clothes in the city.
Lin Lan said, "I'm afraid we can't buy it with the cloth coupons issued by our village."
Not universal.
Yu Xin nodded: "It's hard to buy, but if you want to buy it, Captain Lin, I can ask my family to send it to you."
Lin Lan glanced at her and said, "That's not good."
"Why not? It's not like Captain Lin is taking advantage of us. It's just helping each other. You can give me the local cloth coupons. I need them here, so it won't be a waste."
Of course Lin Lan didn't want her help, she was just testing the waters. If she told Han Qingsong what she wanted, he would naturally ask his comrades to help.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Right now, the Dacron is worn by the cadres. In two years, the supply and marketing cooperatives will definitely sell it. We'll talk about it then."
Hao Liru pulled Yu Xin, indicating that she should say goodbye first and come back after getting familiar with the place, so as to avoid causing trouble again.
They originally wanted to get to know Lin Lan first and see what she was like at home, and then take the opportunity of work to visit her and ask for advice and build a relationship.
But for some reason, Yu Xin didn't want to leave, as if she was unwilling to accept the result.
She saw a picture frame on the wall and went over to take a look.
At that time, photos in the countryside were all in black and white, which enhanced the beauty of the photos. She stared at the family photo, and it looked like a family of handsome men and beautiful women. Especially the man sitting in the middle, he was tall and handsome, but his expression was too cold. Even when he was facing the camera, his eyes were sharp.
Looking at his expression, she felt that Director Han must not like Lin Lan, otherwise his expression would not be so cold.
"Captain Lin, this must be Director Han." She pointed to a photo of Han Qingsong and Lin Lan next to her.
Han Qingsong has no personal photos except for ID photos. In the past two years, when he went to the county to take photos, he only took family photos. For this photo, Lin Lan originally wanted him to take a solo photo, but he hooked his arm around her and hugged her, not letting her leave. Then they took a very intimate photo of the couple.
Yu Xin saw that Han Qingsong didn't smile in the couple's photo and still looked very serious. She thought that Lin Lan must have forced him to take the photo. She probably thought that the couple's relationship was not that good and she had to take the photo to show off.
Lin Lan nodded.
Yu Xin laughed: "Director Han is so tall, much taller than Captain Lin."
Lin Lan would never admit that she is short. Humph, you don’t understand what the cutest height difference is!
Hao Liru and Yu Xin were from the same place. When she heard that Yu Xin's tone was not right, she felt a little embarrassed, so she asked Lin Lan for her work notes so that she could learn something.
"We also want to reflect some bad real-life situations in the story, so that members will be more willing to accept it." They just copied Lin Lan's model.
Hao Liru told Lin Lan about her ideas, what kind of stories she wanted to design, and so on, in a very clear and concise manner.
Lin Lan frowned slightly when she heard this. She said sincerely, "Hao Zhiqing, there is one thing we must grasp about this matter. Our focus is to spread the word so that uneducated members will like to listen, like to think, and preferably like to read. The focus is to educate the uneducated, not whether it will make the members laugh. There is no need to deliberately uglify some people just to make the members laugh. This is out of touch with reality and will not arouse their vigilance."
Hao Liru asked her how to avoid that.
Lin Lan also said, "The negative image should remain unchanged, and members should not have the impression that only vicious and ugly people would do bad things. The jokes can come from the interactions." She cited several examples.
Hao Liru nodded repeatedly, "Captain Lin is right."
Yu Xin also came over and said, "I think this is wrong. We should..."
Lin Lan: “…” You say it.
Yu Xin stopped talking and said with a smile, "Captain Lin, please continue. We are listening."
Lin Lan continued to speak, and Yu Xin couldn't help but say, "That's not right. This is not right. I think it should be..."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's getting late. Did you ask for leave? Will it delay your dinner?"
Yu Xin looked at Lin Lan in surprise. Not inviting them to dinner?
Hao Liru hurriedly said, "Captain Lin, we'll take our leave now. We'll come back to ask for your advice when we have the chance."
She took Yu Xin and left.
Lin Lan walked them to the door, and when she saw them leave, she felt something was amiss. Why did these two come? They said they were here to ask for advice on work? Why did she feel that was not the case? It wasn't that she missed them on purpose, but mainly because the educated youth were sent to the countryside, which was tantamount to exile for them. They were just doing the labor and working here, and it was basically okay. After all, it was not the life they wanted, so naturally they would not be that motivated.
And she came to ask for advice on work, but why did Yu Xin ask all kinds of questions without any humility, acting like she was superior and knew everything? What's the point of asking her any advice?
You do it yourself!
Lin Lan got angry and went to talk to Dong Huaihua.
Dong Huaihua was mediating a conflict between a few women. When she saw Lin Lan coming, she scolded them, "Get out of here! I'm so mad! You're making such a fuss over such a trivial matter."
A woman saw Lin Lan coming and immediately said, "Captain Lin, give us some advice."
Lin Lan was very patient with the kind women in the village. "Mrs. Chen, the women's director can't solve your problem. If you ask me, I'm afraid I have no idea what to do."
Dong Huaihua smiled and said, "If you ask Captain Lin, you have to listen. If you don't listen, you are not allowed to ask."
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said, "Then let me ask, my wife and I are not getting along, and I, as the mother-in-law, am upset all the time."
Lin Lan: "Divide the family." This Mrs. Chen's family is also famous. The parents-in-law are nice people, but the two sons and daughters-in-law always quarrel with each other, and she suffers from it.
"Then I still have a little son who has not yet married."
Lin Lan said, "Sister-in-law, you and your elder brother are still young and capable. After the family is divided, why don't you work for a few years to save some money for your old age? When your youngest son gets married, your two elder brothers will also contribute, and once things are settled, there is nothing to worry about. If you don't divide the family now, you won't be able to save a penny when you are old, and you will have to rely on your son and his wife. You will have to look at their faces when you want to have a snack."
Dong Huaihua clapped her hands and said, "Why didn't I think of that? That's the reason." She had been persuading Mrs. Chen for several days to split up the family so that she could save herself the trouble. But Mrs. Chen couldn't make up her mind.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are still young and capable, and her youngest son is not spoiled. He is now 17 or 18 years old and can do things. In addition, the two sons' families are both laborers and their children are young. In fact, they are the ones who support their daughter-in-law's family. But the two daughters-in-law still feel exploited by their parents-in-law, so they separate and live in peace.
Lin Lan hit the nail on the head, and Mrs. Chen's knot in her heart was immediately untied. "Yes, separate the family. Go home and tell them to stop fighting all the time."
After they left, Dong Huaihua pulled Lin Lan and said, "How come you have time to come and play with me?"
Lin Lan then told the story of the two educated youth.
When Dong Huaihua heard this, she immediately said, "Don't tell me I have something to ask of you."
Lin Lan: "... beg me?" That's the attitude? Hao Liru was better, but Yu Xin's attitude was too high. She looked superior to herself in every way, and she didn't seem to be begging anyone.
Dong Huaihua didn't like studying and wasn't keen on going to school, so she didn't know much about the university's recruitment of workers, peasants and soldiers as students, and she couldn't say anything about it.
After all, the educated youth went to the countryside to work in various brigades, and Lin Lan had no control over them.
Dong Huaihua guessed: "Do they want to join our propaganda team?"
Although they followed Lin Lan to learn and Lin Lan was willing to teach them, Dong Huaihua felt that this kind of thing still required the brain. She knew how Lin Lan did it, but she couldn't think of those things herself.
If the Yongxing Brigade agrees, then they can join the propaganda team and earn money in exchange for food, which is certainly easier than farming.
After saying a few words, Lin Lan said goodbye to Dong Huaihua and went home. On the way, she happened to meet Han Qingping and chatted with him. She suddenly thought of Teacher Lu Changwei.
Lu Changwei's words made her wonder if these two educated youth were trying to get a recommendation through the back door?
If you don't know what the other party is asking for, it's easy to get suspicious. Once you know what's going on, you won't worry. Lin Lan figured it out and put it out of her mind.
She went home to continue making clothes, and by the time the children got home from school, she had already made them for Mai Sui to try on.
The white background of the broken branch flowers, with pink flowers and green leaves, looks very beautiful on the white ears of wheat.
Mai Sui was very happy, "Mom, you are amazing! You finished it in just two days."
Lin Lan thought about how great she was. She never thought she could make clothes before. Haha. She looked outside and asked, "Is your dad not back yet?"
Mai Sui smiled and said, "Mom, my dad just left this morning. How can you miss you like this after not seeing him for a day?"
Lin Lan would never admit that she missed a man. "I just have something to ask you."
Mai Sui ran out, "Mom, I'll help you take a look on South Road." She ran out wearing her new skirt, which immediately attracted many people's exclamations.
"Mai Sui, your new dress is so beautiful!"
"Can you give me something to wear?"
“Did you make it yourself?”
Mai Sui was surrounded by a group of women of different ages. She said anxiously, "I have to go see if my father is back. My mother is waiting for him."
Someone laughed and said, "He should come back soon. Can you see him come back soon?"
"Look, I'm so sick of you. I miss you so much every time I get home late from get off work."
Mai Sui ran to the south road and looked west.
There are poplar trees on both sides of the road, but the road is very straight and you can see very far.
After all, there were not many cyclists on the road at that time, and Han Qingsong was tall, so she could see him from a distance.
After a while, she saw a hint of military green and immediately shouted, "Dad, Dad!"
Han Qingsong heard someone calling him from a distance. As soon as he heard it was a girl, he knew it was Mai Sui. Thinking it might be something urgent, he quickened his pace.
When he got there, he propped up his bicycle with his feet and asked, "What happened?"
Mai Sui jumped into the car and said with a smile, "Dad, my mom is missing you at home. I came to see why you haven't come home yet."
Han Qingsong took her home very quickly, so fast that he didn't even see anyone greeting him on the road.
Several people watched Han Qingsong whizz by, and even Mai Sui's skirt was about to fly up. "Oh my goodness, is there a fire in Director Han's house?"
When they got home, Sanwang and Xiaowang rushed out and stopped Han Qingsong, "Dad, Dad, let me ride the bike."
Han Qingsong handed the task over to the two of them and went home.
Lin Lan was preparing dinner. Seeing Han Qingsong coming back in a hurry, she wondered, "Third brother, why are you in such a hurry?" It was as if he was on an emergency mission.
Han Qingsong: "If you miss me, I will hurry up."
Lin Lan: “…”
Han Qingsong: “No?”
Lin Lan: “…” How come you became Xiaowang?
She took Han Qingsong's hand and walked to the water platform in the yard, "Come on, be good, wash your hands and face first, and get ready to eat."
When Han Qingsong bent down to wash his hands, he quickly pecked her on the cheek, and Xiaowang happened to run back.
Xiaowang immediately ran over, leaned over to Han Qingsong, and said with a smile, "Dad, I want a kiss too."
Han Qingsong: "..." He quickly buried his face in the basin. Lin Lan smiled and bent over to kiss Xiaowang, "We don't kiss men."
Xiaowang happily went to watch his third brother riding a bicycle.
After dinner, the children went out to play, each in their own small circle. Mai Sui was also found by the girls to look at her flowery dress.
Only Han Qingsong and Lin Lan were left at home. Lin Lan wanted to clean up the dishes, but Han Qingsong grabbed her hand, and when he exerted force, she sat on his lap.
"Third brother, be careful of the impact!" Lin Lan reminded him.
"I've thought about it."
Lin Lan: "...I thought...I didn't think..." She looked at Han Qingsong's face turning from sunny to cloudy, and couldn't help laughing, "You don't know?"
His hands grasped her waist.
Lin Lan was so itchy that she quickly surrendered. "Let's get down to business. I... uh..."
He kissed her a little fiercely, and after a moment, he bit her lips gently and let her go, "Now that we have done the business, let's talk about the non-business."
Lin Lan: "... Third brother, you are so naughty."
Han Qingsong helped her clean up the dishes and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
Lin Lan asked him about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University students, "How many places are there in the commune?"
Han Qingsong: "I didn't notice. Do you want to go?"
Lin Lan teased him, "Okay?"
Han Qingsong looked at her seriously, "I'll go ask how many vacancies there are tomorrow and see if our team has any. If not, how can we register? Will there be an excess or a fixed quota? Then I'll see if your background and work performance are good enough to qualify. If so, I'll register you directly."
Seeing how serious he was, Lin Lan started to laugh, and came over and put her arms around his neck, "I'm just teasing you. I won't leave you and the child."
She had studied enough and worked hard enough in her previous life, so she should treat this life as a reward to herself. It would be nice to live a simple life with him. After all, she was not an ambitious person.
Han Qingsong said, "If you really want to go, I support you."
The children are grown up and no one needs to worry about their studies, and they can take care of themselves.
Lin Lan quickly stopped teasing him and said, "It's like this. Two educated youth came to see me, and I suspected they wanted to use the back door."
Han Qingsong heard her tone and realized that she really didn't want to go, so he looked at her deeply.
Lin Lan took advantage of the fact that his hands were washing dishes in the basin and he couldn't do anything to her, so she teased him and went over to kiss him but failed.
Han Qingsong was waiting for those soft lips to fall on his cheek, but when they didn't come, he turned his head to look at her.
Lin Lan laughed and stood up to leave, but suddenly her foot tripped and she fell into his arms.
Han Qingsong opened his arms, held her steadily in his arms, and kissed her right away when he lowered his head.
Just as he was leaning back and forth, someone outside asked in a pinched voice: "Captain Lin, Captain Lin is at home, right?"
Lin Lan's face suddenly turned red, and she became flustered and glared at Han Qingsong.
Han Qingsong succeeded and continued to clean up.
Lin Lan hurried out to see who was looking for her. When she reached the screen wall, she ran into Yu Xin who came in.
She asked in surprise: "Yu Zhiqing, what's the matter?"
The author has something to say: Director Han: It turns out that the uniforms are so beautiful.
