The old director glanced at Miao Hongying and signaled her not to go too far. When Lin Lan heard that Han Qingsong wanted to separate the rooms, she naturally didn't want to argue with Miao Hongying and hurriedly followed the old director.

Miao Hongying looked at Lin Lan who was walking away and stamped her feet in anger. How could the old director be so good at undermining her? She was so angry at Lin Lan's confrontation with her that she wanted to scold this little vixen.

She had no energy to vent her anger, so she turned to look at Secretary Li, who also hurried away to avoid being dragged along and nagged.

Miao Hongying would complain to others whenever she got angry, "Why is this Lin so crazy? She looks like a vixen. If this had happened before, I would have beaten her to death and let her show off! What kind of watch does a country girl wear? Can she read a watch? Can she understand it?"

The man couldn't help but say, "Officer Lin is the propaganda red flag bearer."

Miao Hongying snorted and said, "Who knows if it was obtained through the back door?" After saying that, she held her head high, chest puffed out, and walked away angrily with her hips twisted.

When Lin Lan heard that Han Qingsong was going to allocate a house in the city, she was so happy that her heart was beating fast. However, she had a good demeanor and hid all her excitement in her heart. She appeared calm and composed with a smile on her face.

After entering the office, she greeted everyone first, and then listened to the introduction of the logistics staff in charge of room allocation.

The cadres of the county revolutionary committee all lived in the family compound at the back, which was an old, dilapidated courtyard with several families living in one courtyard. It was very crowded and noisy. In addition, a new three-story building was built this year, which was specially used as a cadre room.

If they were to divide the floors, the senior cadre would have a three-bedroom apartment, and Han Qingsong could have a two-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and bathroom. It had radiators and running water, which was very convenient. Although it was also very crowded, it was much better than the tube-shaped buildings that factory workers were assigned.

If they were divided into bungalows, they would be small courtyards. Officials with high enough rank could have their own small courtyards and live with their whole family. Officials with low rank would have to live in one with four or five families. Some people would quarrel with each other all day and it was annoying. Bungalows would leak over time and it was difficult to repair them. There were no private toilets, and the water was shared in the courtyard, which could freeze in winter. The key was that there were no radiators in the houses. Some still had the kind of earthen kangs in the countryside, with large stoves for heating. Some had beds for sleeping, but they had to use stoves for cooking, which was also troublesome.

Anyway, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

The cadres naturally like to live in the building. After all, the new building with red bricks and red tiles is particularly impressive, and it also has heating, running water and toilets.

But Lin Lan felt that the upstairs windows were small and the lighting was poor. There were several families living on one floor, and it was annoying to have a small yard of her own. Moreover, she had many children, and there were only two small rooms, which were less than 20 square meters in total. It was really crowded.

She did not express her opinion at first, but instead looked around with a smile, taking in the expressions of everyone present. Those who were not qualified to compete with Han Qingsong were just envious or jealous, while those who were qualified but had never done so had very unpleasant expressions.

Lin Lan knew what was going on when she saw Deputy Secretary Qiu's sullen face.

Deputy Secretary Qiu, who was in charge of forestry, was extremely nervous. He had long been eyeing the last room on the sunny side, a two-bedroom apartment facing the sun. The bedroom could accommodate the couple, and they could make a bunk bed outside for the children. The main reason was that his wife was in poor health and felt very cold in winter. If there was heating, she would be much more comfortable. He had talked to the director several times to confirm that this room would be allocated to him, but he didn't expect that Han Qingsong would be allocated a room suddenly, and Lin Lan was allowed to choose first.

Even a fool knows that he should go to the building facing the sun. He felt that there was no hope for him and suddenly became despair.

Lin Lan asked: "Leaders, I don't understand either. I just want to ask which one is better, this building or the courtyard?"

The old director smiled and said, "Everyone wants to live in a building anyway. Buildings have radiators and central heating in the winter."

Lin Lan glanced at Deputy Secretary Qiu and said, "So the room facing the sun is the best."

As expected, Deputy Secretary Qiu's face turned pale and he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Lin Lan continued, "In that case, let's give the best room to the comrades in need. We are used to living in the countryside, so we still live in a bungalow."

Deputy Secretary Qiu was so nervous that his stomach hurt. Now that he heard Lin Lan said no, he suddenly came back to life, feeling relaxed all over, and even his old ailment was cured.

Lin Lan naturally had her own considerations. The buildings built in this era had no steel bars, but were all made of planks, which was not safe. Now, after two years, they would leak, and even the aging pipes would cause sewage to flow back, causing all kinds of inconveniences. Besides, she had so many children in her family, and it was simply not enough for them to live in the small house upstairs.

After hearing her say this, everyone present was stunned. Look at how aware Officer Lin was that he was actually willing to give up such a good house!

Some people thought she was a fool and ignorant country girl, and advised her, "Mr. Lin, there is heating upstairs, it's warm in winter."

Deputy Secretary Qiu said: "If you live in a bungalow without heating, the unit can subsidize the heating costs."

Lin Lan didn't want to share a yard with others, so she said, "We have many children too..."

Deputy Secretary Qiu added: "It just so happens that there is a small courtyard with its own entrance, and we don't have to squeeze in with others. I suggest that we give it to Bureau Han."

Originally, Lin Lan was asked to choose, so the others naturally agreed.

Lin Lan quickly thanked him, "That's great, we can still grow vegetables. We came from the countryside, and we can't live without growing vegetables for a day."

Everyone present naturally knew what Deputy Secretary Qiu meant. Since Lin Lan was willing, they didn't say much and gave the private courtyard vacated above the building where Director Qin's family moved to to Lin Lan to live.

After the meeting, Lin Lan went to the logistics department to sign for the key and went to see the yard first. As for other procedures, she had to wait for Han Qingsong to come and handle them.

Xiao Gao from the logistics team accompanied Lin Lan to see it and congratulated her, "Officer Lin, you will be a city dweller from now on."

Lin Lan said: "My family's household registration is in the county, but my children and I are not."

The situation of the household registration is not that good at this time.

Deputy Secretary Qiu heard this and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Officer Lin. Work hard and try to transfer your job to the county in two years. Then the children's household registration will follow."

Because Lin Lan took the initiative to give the house to him, Deputy Secretary Qiu was particularly happy. He felt particularly friendly towards Lin Lan, and her whole body was filled with the warmth of a revolutionary comrade.

Lin Lan smiled and said goodbye to him, then followed Xiao Gao to look at the house.

The house was not far away. Go out of the back door of the Revolutionary Committee compound and cross the road to reach the family area. When passing by the new building, Xiao Gao felt a little regretful.

"Mr. Lin, if we have the chance, we will definitely buy a building."

Lin Lan smiled very gently and appropriately, "Because everyone wants to share a house, so I just want a bungalow."

Anyway, she was used to living in a bungalow at home, and Han Qingsong would also be able to repair it. He could just fix the roof so that it wouldn't leak and build a toilet. As for bathing, there were bathhouses in the city, and she could go there twice a week, and it was enough to wash in the toilet every day.

Xiao Gao gave the key to Lin Lan and asked her to open the door herself. There was a gatehouse at the entrance, where you could put your bicycle or sundries. There was a screen wall after entering the gatehouse. Going around the screen wall was the yard. There was no south room, so the yard was a little wide. There was no running water in the yard, but there was a well in the middle. The well platform was about one foot high and covered with a stone slab.

There are two western rooms on the west side, which are shorter than the main room and can be used as warehouses. On the north side are three main rooms facing south. The house is not very high and has a normal width, but the depth is longer than that of an ordinary house, so one room can be divided into two.

There is actually a stove on the west wall of the main room! If there is no heating, it would be better to have a kang.

Lin Lan went into the west room and was even more surprised. "There's a kang."

Although there is a kang in the west room, its layout is different from that in the countryside.

The room under the south window is empty. There is a big kang next to the stove. It is divided into two small rooms by a wall. Girls sleep inside and boys sleep outside. It is a good place to put a desk under the south window.

There is only a water tank in the main room now, and it is empty without any other furniture. There is nothing in the east room either, but we can build a kang in it when the time comes.

Lin Lan thought about how to plan after reading it once. She was not in a hurry to live here, because her children still had to go to school for another year in the commune, and her job was still in the commune, so it would not be easy to transfer. This place could be a temporary place to stay, or Han Qingsong could stay here when he got off work late.

She took the key and went back to the front yard with Xiao Gao, and happened to meet Miao Hongying on the way.

Miao Hongying believed that her man would be the future director and chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, so she didn't take Lin Lan seriously at all.

Since she found out that she could buy goods from the supply and marketing cooperative and sell them at a higher price, she thought she had found a way to make money. She was smart. After all, ordinary citizens bought low-priced goods, and she couldn't be on the same level as ordinary people. So she took high-priced goods and sold them to insiders in the compound, and some bought them for relatives or friends. If the coupons were not enough, she would give two more coupons. What's wrong with asking for an extra twenty yuan?

If she hadn't helped, the extra fifty bucks wouldn't have bought it, so she really was helping.

She took watches, bicycles, radios, and the like, as well as tea, cigarettes, and alcohol. She didn't want to deal with ordinary cloth, clothes, and food. She considered herself a working person, so she would naturally be considerate of the working people.

There has been no problem for such a long time. Those who have demand buy it, and those who don’t have demand pretend not to know.

Only Lin Lan, this blind person, dared to confront her in person!

Miao Hongying couldn't stand it! Especially when she found out that Han Qingsong might get a house next to hers, she was furious.

Then she heard that Lin Lan had asked for the bungalow at the back and gave that house to the deputy secretary. She was happy again, "What a foolish wife who has never seen the world! An embroidered pillow, a face for nothing, turns out to be a fool, haha."

She came to see Lin Lan's excitement.

"My dear Han Qingsong, you have to learn to behave yourself after coming to the compound." Miao Hongying stood at the door leading to the front yard, glancing at Lin Lan with a very arrogant look.

Lin Lan stuffed the key into her pocket to avoid dropping it, and said bluntly, "I'm talking about speculation. Why don't you learn the rules in this compound?"

Xiao Gao almost laughed out loud, and quickly bit his lip to signal Lin Lan not to argue with Miao Hongying.

Miao Hongying didn't give him a chance and rushed over angrily, "What do you mean, little girl? Can you speak? Do you want me to take you out for a lecture?"

Lin Lan: "You can't even speak clearly, and you want to lecture me? Do you want me to teach you what it means to be a fighter of Chairman M and obey the Party the most, the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, not to take a single needle or thread from the masses, and to treat the enemy like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves..."

"Shut up! Do you still want to teach me a lesson?" Miao Hongying's sturdy body swayed, and she stretched out her hand to push Lin Lan, trying to make her fall.

Although Lin Lan was not as thick as her, she was more flexible than her. Lin Lan dodged and ran towards the door, "The crazy woman hit me and forced me to buy something!"

She shouted as she rushed to the Revolutionary Committee compound to see if Miao Hongying dared to cause trouble there.

Although she walked fast, she was not panicked and even turned back to provoke her. Miao Hongying was so angry that her eyes turned red. She rushed up to chase her and insisted on beating her up.

Lin Lan hid in the corner of the corridor in front of the office. When she heard Miao Hongying's footsteps shaking the ground as she ran over, she stretched out her legs -

With a bang, Miao Hongying fell heavily on the blue brick floor of the front porch.

She cried out in pain and when she got up she found that her hands were all scraped and burning with pain. She hadn't noticed that her chin was a little crooked from the impact.

"Lin Lan! I'm going to beat you to death!" Miao Hongying got up and limped after Lin Lan with her chin tilted.

Lin Lan had already gone into the Revolutionary Committee building to find a place to hide. When she saw Secretary Li, she walked over and acted scared. "Secretary Li, that opportunistic woman is here again. She forced me to buy her watch. Help me~~"

Secretary Li: …………

Miao Hongying was shouting at the top of her lungs, and the police station next door could hear it, but Deputy Director Li did not come out to deal with it.

However, Director Qin's wife Zhang Yu and Gao Weidong's wife Jiang Chunxia came out. They were both educated and now also worked in the Revolutionary Committee.

Jiang Chunxia and Miao Hongying also had their conflicts, mainly due to the competition between men. Gao Weidong and Li Xuanjiu have always been in a competitive relationship. In order to help her man, Miao Hongying repeatedly made things difficult for Jiang Chunxia, ​​and once said stupid things like "You and Jiang Jieshi are from the same family, and you will be criticized."

Jiang Chunxia: "Sister Yu, why don't you do anything about it? It's really disrespectful to yell in front of the Revolutionary Committee."

Zhang Yu also frowned slightly, "Neither of them is a good person." Most people who have just arrived here would basically tolerate the local bullies they encounter. But Lin Ganshi actually confronted Miao Hongying. Isn't this telling others that she is not easy to mess with?

She always wants to keep things peaceful, as long as everyone is quiet and doesn't cause any trouble.

Miao Hongying was so angry that she couldn't find Lin Lan. When she saw Zhang Yu and Jiang Chunxia, ​​she ran over with her head tilted, "Where did you two hide her?"

Zhang Yu glanced at her and said, "You are so unruly. It's fine if you were yelling in the family area, but now you're causing trouble in the office area?"

Miao Hongying pouted, "What are you so arrogant about! No one in X County dares to teach me a lesson. If your man wants to move up a level, he still has to rely on my father and uncle for help."

Jiang Chunxia, ​​however, did not take the initiative to talk to Miao Hongying for fear of getting herself into trouble.

Miao Hongying pointed at her face and hands, "Look at how she beat me! I'm not done with her! I think that Lin Lan must have something to do with Lin B! I have to catch her and interrogate her thoroughly!"

Zhang Yu was shocked by her argument. There was no conflict between her man and Han Qingsong. On the contrary, Director Qin admired Han Qingsong very much and said that Han Qingsong was a capable general, so she welcomed Han Qingsong to the county.

But as soon as the two women started to quarrel so fiercely, she, as the wife of the secretary and director of the Revolutionary Committee, was always embarrassed.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Miao Hongying thought that Jiang Chunxia had teamed up with Lin Lan so quickly, "Lin Lan, Lin Lan, get out here! Don't think I can't find you if you hide from me!" She was tripped by Lin Lan and fell hard, her chin was purple, and she looked a little scary.

Everyone else hid for fear of being caught by her.

Miao Hongying was angry, "Just wait for me!"

She angrily went to the police station next door, and happened to see Liu Jianyun, so she shouted, "Liu Jianyun, quickly call a few brothers over, I don't believe we can't beat her to death!"

Liu Jianyun had just returned from a trip with Han Qingsong and didn't know about their feud. When he saw the wound on Miao Hongying's face, he was surprised and asked, "Who hit her? What happened?"

He thought that Deputy Director Li couldn't stand Miao Hongying's beating? Otherwise, who would dare to hit her?

But the two of them didn't go to that extent. Miao Hongying was not a tigress in front of men. She just bullied outsiders. Deputy Director Li just thought she was embarrassing and refused to change, so he didn't hit her.

Miao Hongying: "Look at me! I beat up that bitch Lin Lan!"

Liu Jianyun almost couldn't hold back his laughter and coughed twice. Officer Lin was really amazing. He became stronger when facing a stronger opponent.

He motioned Miao Hongying to go inside and said, "Let's talk inside."

"Go, take some people to arrest her. I have to check her background to see if her three generations are from the same family as that counter-revolutionary Lin B!" Miao Hongying was unwilling to endure this and wanted to arrest Lin Lan immediately.

When she was smashing dog heads a few years ago, she didn't know how many little demons she criticized! Now there are few good-looking female employees in the Revolutionary Committee. The old men's eyes are well treated in their own eye sockets, and the women can rest assured that this is all her masterpiece!

Especially those vixens in the art troupe, all of them have been punished by her!

Liu Jianyun: ...! ! ! You really dare, I don't dare. You are the female demon of the Revolutionary Committee, and Officer Lin is a red flag model who is liked by many people. I don't know how many brigades like her to promote her. Besides, she doesn't like your man, why are you in such a hurry?

He really couldn't think of anything that a friendly person like Lin Lan could have in conflict with Miao Hongying.

"Hurry up!" Miao Hongying urged him.

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door, "Who wants to arrest Lin Lan?"

Miao Hongying saw someone coming and immediately shouted, "Hurry up, follow me to catch him!"

Then she saw a tall and handsome man walking in from outside. He had a stern face and deep eyes. Who else could it be but Han Qingsong?

Miao Hongying subconsciously took two steps back and stood next to Liu Jianyun.

Liu Jianyun was so happy that he almost burst out laughing. It was so hard to hold back. Miao Hongying had finally met her bad luck. At least in Liu Jianyun's eyes, Han Qingsong was not someone he was afraid of.

Han Qingsong looked at Miao Hongying coldly, "You are slandering your comrades." He reached out to Liu Jianyun.

Liu Jianyun's face changed and he whispered, "Director Han?"

Han Qingsong said coldly: "Handcuffs!"

…………

Miao Hongying was shocked, "You are an old man, and you bully female comrades!" She quickly ran into the house to find her man to support her.

Deputy Director Li didn't want to bother her at first, thinking it would be fine in a moment, but he didn't know Han Qingsong was here. He had to come out and said with a smile, "What's going on? Oh, Director Han is here."

Han Qingsong glanced at him with a cold expression, not showing any willingness to greet him.

Miao Hongying hid behind her man and pointed at Han Qingsong: "He wants to hit me!"

Deputy Director Li laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Director Han doesn't hit women."

Han Qingsong said coldly: "I can beat a man."

Deputy Director Li: …………

He immediately said to Miao Hongying: "What happened? How did you offend Bureau Han? Bureau Han is not the kind of person who would look for trouble."

Miao Hongying: "How could it be me? It was obviously his wife who beat me. Look at me!" She pointed at her own face and showed Li Xuanjiu her palms, which were all bruised.

Li Xuanjiu: "...Why did you fight with Lin?"

Miao Hongying: "I like to be with the little fox spirit..."

Han Qingsong snorted coldly and looked at Li Xuanjiu with cold eyes, as if to say that women's affairs should be handled by men, so don't be afraid!

Li Xingjiu claimed that he was no match for Han Qingsong, and how could a superior fight like a barbarian all the time? Did he think he was still a bumpkin? He gave Miao Hongying a look, "What's going on?"

Miao Hongying: "How would I know? She was sarcastic and mocking me when she saw me. I was just walking along the road and she tripped me. Look how she knocked me down. It's obvious that she was causing trouble as soon as she came here. She's not doing her job."

At this time, Lin Lan's voice came from outside, "The Public Security Bureau is here. I want to report that someone is speculating and forcing me to buy."

She entered the yard, saw Han Qingsong, and ran up to him, saying to Liu Jianyun, "Public Security Officer Liu, I want to report this woman. She resold watches from the supply and marketing cooperative, and she chased me and beat me up when I refused to buy them."

She curled her lips, and tears filled her eyes instantly. She grabbed Han Qingsong's arm and began to sob, "Third brother~~She hit me!"

When she said this, Han Qingsong's body suddenly tensed up and he clenched his fists.

Lin Lan was afraid that he was really angry, so she quickly squeezed his arm, indicating that she was just acting and he just needed to cooperate.

She leaned her head on his shoulder and sobbed, "She called me a country woman and said that the director was not the same as the director. She didn't even have a house but wanted to be a city dweller. She told us to go back to the countryside. She said she wanted her grandfather and her husband to take back the house that was allocated to our family..."

Humph, you are confusing right and wrong. Who wouldn't do that?

Miao Hongying didn't expect that Lin Lan dared to slander her. She was the only one who slandered others, but no one else slandered her. She immediately jumped up in anger.

Li Xuanjiu was terribly frightened. He did not expect that it was Lin Lan who slandered him. He just thought that Miao Hongying was arrogant and looked down on country women, especially pretty ones. He immediately grabbed Miao Hongying's arm and said, "Nonsense!"

Miao Hongying didn't expect that her man didn't believe her, but believed Lin Lan instead. She was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Look, look, she beat me up and you ignored her, and you still scolded me. You all listened to the vixen and not me! I'm so angry!"

"Miao Juhua!" Li Xuanjiu was anxious, "Don't make a fuss, Director Han and Officer Lin don't like jokes."

If Li Xuanjiu called her Miao Juhua, it would mean he was furious.

Miao Hongying felt very aggrieved, especially when she saw Han Qingsong defending Lin Lan so much, she felt even more unbalanced.

"You bully me, I'm going to find my father!" She stomped her feet and was about to run away.

Lin Lan said, "First, take out the watch I ordered from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Li Xuanjiu naturally knew what was going on. He was really angry. He wasn't short of money, but this woman was just a money-grubber who liked to make a profit. In the past, people in the compound knew her temper and could not afford to offend her, so they could avoid her and not confront her head-on.

But this matter was not glorious either. If an officer quarreled with her, she would not be in the right at all and would be embarrassed. On another level, he was also afraid that Gao Weidong would use this matter to do something. Fortunately, the old director had warned everyone not to bother with an uneducated woman and let her improve slowly, so nothing happened.

Li Qianjiu once again realized that Han Qingsong, a country bumpkin, did not know how to get along with others in the government. Shouldn't he have restrained Lin Lan and resolved this matter privately?

Where can you get so noisy that the whole compound can watch the excitement?

He said to Miao Hongying, "I have a watch that I bought but I'm not willing to wear. You can give it to Lin." He was sure that Han Qingsong would not buy one for himself. He said this just to find an excuse to prevent Miao Hongying from admitting that she really took the goods from the supply and marketing cooperative, and to send it back quickly and quietly so that the supply and marketing cooperative could just send it to Lin Lan as a new product.

This is also the most decent solution.

But his woman has a different way of thinking. She feels that she was bullied by Lin Lan and she must get back at him.

Li Xuanjiu saw that he could not control this woman, so he had no choice but to signal Liu Jianyun and ask him to ask the old director to come over and mediate.

The old director didn't want to see them fighting. After all, Han Qingsong still had to come to work, and he would see him every day.

He came out, smiled, and said to Lin Lan, "Has the watch that Secretary Lin reserved been bought by someone else?"

Li Xuanjiu heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this was someone trying to help him. He quickly winked at Miao Hongying, asking her to return it quickly.

Miao Hongying just stared at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan wiped her tears and nodded, "You must be making fun of me, Director. I saved up money and coupons for half a year. I finally gathered them all and came to buy them excitedly. Who knew that someone would take them all away in one go?"

She glanced at Miao Hongying, but gave face to the old director and did not point at Miao Hongying again.

"Qingsong, Lin Lan, come here, both of you." The old director greeted them warmly.

Han Qingsong was about to refuse when Lin Lan grabbed his arm, looking as if she was afraid that Miao Hongying would chase her away. "Third brother, let's go." She pushed him to the old director's office.

Since the old director has come forward to mediate, he naturally has to make some achievements. If he returns empty-handed, it would be embarrassing.

Seeing Han Qingsong and Lin Lan coming over, the old director smiled and motioned for them to sit down. He turned around and opened his drawer, took out a well-packaged watch from it and placed it on the table. "I haven't opened it yet. I'm used to using my old pocket watch. I don't like wearing watches."

Lin Lan hurriedly said: "Thank you, old director. We can't take someone else's love away. The supply and marketing cooperative said it would bring a new one. I'm just angry that she insisted on sending me back to the countryside, saying that I am not qualified to stay here." She certainly couldn't let people think that she was just arguing with Miao Juhua for a watch.

She has to fight for her dignity!

Sure enough, the old director looked at her with a more affectionate look. He smiled and said, "Just think of it as me bringing it from the supply and marketing cooperative for you. I can also buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative." He pushed it to Lin Lan and said, "Give the money and coupons to the supply and marketing cooperative, and I'll take them when I go shopping."

Seeing his intention, Lin Lan agreed and picked it up. "Thank you, Director." She smiled at Han Qingsong and took him away to say goodbye.

The old director said, "Let Li Xuanjiu and Miao Juhua come in."

Lin Lan pulled Han Qingsong out and saw Deputy Director Li standing outside with a nervous look on his face, but she didn't see Miao Juhua.

Deputy Director Li looked unhappy, but he still greeted them and went into the old director's office.

The old director glared at him and said nothing.

Li Xuanjiu forced a smile and said, "I really don't know."

"You know more about the situation than I do. Go." The old director dismissed him with one sentence.

Li Xuanjiu naturally understood what he meant. Since he came to power, he has been assessing the situation. What was it like before the Cultural Revolution? What was it like during the Cultural Revolution? What has it been like in recent years? The situation is changing rapidly.

Everyone pretended not to see what Miao Hongying had done before, but now Han Qingsong is here, and his wife Lin Lan is not someone who can be easily bullied, so Miao Hongying was asked to behave herself.

Don’t spend all day fighting and tearing each other apart in the Revolutionary Committee. It’s not a good look!

Li Jiujiu hurried home and found Miao Hongying crying and throwing things around in the house.

Li Xuanjiu: "Take it out and I'll send it back to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Miao Hongying: “I sold them all.”

"Don't be ridiculous. Return the extra money to the owner and take out the rest."

Miao Hongying: "Why are you so fierce? I'll go talk to Dad."

Li Xuanjiu: "Go ahead and see your father-in-law won't beat you. Do you think it was a few years ago?"

You are not blind! What is the situation now? Do you think it is still a few years ago? When the Cultural Revolution just started, rebellion was justified and revolution was possible? Why did Han Qingsong get promoted so quickly? He was promoted to deputy director! He has not even been promoted to deputy director!

What does this mean? It's obvious that he is here to replace me!

Li Xuanjiu was so anxious that his heart was burning with anxiety. Why didn't this stupid woman understand? In the past, he could still rely on his father-in-law's help, but now his father-in-law is old and has been retired for many years.

If his father-in-law's sworn brother really cared about him, he wouldn't have promoted Han Qingsong so quickly. Why would he have to wait until he got promoted before promoting him?

And yet this woman is still here making enemies over a piece of cake!

Han Qingsong and his wife are the same. They are so mean. Can't you just say it quietly? Why do you have to make it so embarrassing?

Miao Hongying still refused to accept it. How could she be wrong? Everything was fine before and no one cared about it. But when Han Qingsong came, it became a problem? What was so great about Han Qingsong? He was taller, more handsome, and could fight, so what? How many people could he fight? Three, five, or ten?

Li Qianjiu ignored her and packed up Miao Hongying's watches, radios and other items and delivered them back to the supply and marketing cooperative himself. He was too embarrassed to ask others to do it.

The vice president of the supply and marketing cooperative was counting bills in his office. When he saw Li Xuanjiu coming over, he was startled and asked, "Director Li, what are you doing?"

Li Xuanjiu: "A few days ago, my child said he wanted to buy a watch, and my aunt's child asked me to help buy a radio. My wife took it back to choose, and she has already chosen one. Please send the rest back."

The vice president knew everything, so he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, if you want anything in the future, just come and pick it up."

The vice president personally took out the account book and showed it to Li Xuanjiu. He checked all the necessary boxes and the account was balanced.

Miao Hongying certainly didn't get it for free. After selling the goods, she would return the price and coupons to the supply and marketing cooperative. She only earned the markup. At that time, supplies were in short supply and not easy to buy, so she could also earn a lot.

This is of course against the rules!

Deputy Director Li saw that the old director's watch was not available, so he asked the supply and marketing cooperative to buy another one. The old director's watch was the same model as the Prime Minister's, a623a mechanical calendar watch, first produced in 1962. A small number of them are still produced, so it is not easy to get them.

As they were talking, Lin Lan came over.

The salesperson outside led her directly into the office, where she came face to face with Li Xuanjiu.

Lin Lan pretended nothing happened and said with a smile: "Director Li, what a coincidence."

Li Xuanjiu forced a smile. What the hell is going on?

The vice president quickly greeted Lin Lan.

Lin Lan's eyes lit up, "Oh, the watch is here?"

Li Xuanjiu's legs trembled.

Lin Lan took out the old director's watch and said with a smile, "This belongs to the old director. We can't take it. Please ask President Cui to return and give it to the old director. I will pick one from here."

Lin Lan picked out the piece she had her eye on for a long time, a mechanical men's watch with a calendar, a large dial, and a relatively rugged appearance, which was very suitable for Han Qingsong. It was also a SSik quick-moving watch with a smaller error, with an error of only 30 seconds for a day and a night.

"That's it." She took out the money and the coupon.

The vice president personally wrote the invoice for her, and it was clearly written.

Lin Lan said with a hint of meaning, "You don't know, I saved up money and coupons for a year, it was not easy."

Li Qianjiu frowned and picked up the old director's watch. "Okay, I'll take it back for the old director."

Lin Lan took the watch she bought and said to Li Xuanjiu with a smile, "Director Li, let's go together."

Li Xuanjiumai's steps were hesitant as he walked out. He couldn't find an excuse to refuse, so he had to go with her.

The supply and marketing cooperative was not far from the Revolutionary Committee, less than ten minutes away.

Of course, Lin Lan would not let anyone know that she followed in Li Xuanjiu's footsteps! She deliberately did not let Han Qingsong accompany her, letting him just go about his business. She had to make her position clear to Li Xuanjiu.

Li Xuanjiu originally thought that Lin Lan went with him because she wanted to complain to him or something like that, but she didn't know that Lin Lan didn't say that. Instead, she spoke words of gratitude, thanking the Revolutionary Committee for allowing Han Qingsong to come to the county town and thanking them for allocating a house to them.

Li Xuanjiu felt even more frustrated. That country bumpkin Han Qingsong was so lucky. Look at his wife!

When they arrived at the door of the Revolutionary Committee, Lin Lan smiled and said, "I had a little trouble with Director Li's wife. Director Li, don't take it to heart about women's affairs. In the future, when we get to know each other, we will understand and respect each other, and it won't happen again."

If Miao Hongying hits her, she will not be beaten obediently, so Lin Lan does not mind making a scene in the Revolutionary Committee on the first day. Let Miao Hongying know that she is not easy to bully, and she will accompany her in the future, whether she wants to fight or scold. Only by letting Miao Hongying know that she is not easy to bully, can she abide by the rules of the wives of cadres in the future. You can point fingers at others, but don't point fingers at the nose and scold, unless you really want to tear your face off and never have anything to do with each other again.

Li Xuanjiu immediately understood what Lin Lan meant. He never thought that a country woman like her could have such a mind.

His heart was filled with sourness again.

When he returned to the Public Security Bureau office, the old director had just arranged an office for Han Qingsong.

The old director has always had his own office, and Gao Weidong and Li Xuanjiu each have their own office because of their disagreements.

Now that Han Qingsong is here, there are not enough offices, so we have to create offices together, or let Han Qingsong go to the Revolutionary Committee to use the office, which is not appropriate either.

After the old director asked about his opinion, Gao Weidong was very happy to work in the same office with Han Qingsong.

When Li Xuanjiu heard this, he decided not to do anything. If they worked in the same office, wouldn't they be more likely to get involved?

He smiled and said, "Deputy Director Gao's place is a bit crowded, but mine is spacious. Qingsong, please go to my office."

Gao Weidong smiled and said, "Deputy Director Han and I are of similar age, so we have more things to talk about."

Han Qingsong saw how much they liked to share an office with others, so he said, "Why don't you two share an office?"
