Miao Hongying didn't understand what she meant, and she yelled that Lin Lan was bullying her and looked down on her as an uneducated working woman. "What do you mean, what do you mean?"

Lin Lan said seriously: "It's what you think it means."

At this time, someone in the room forced the door open and almost dragged Miao Hongying down.

Miao Hongying turned her head and saw Gao Weidong, snorted, and turned away.

Lin Lan: "Director Gao, is Director Han here?"

Gao Weidong smiled and said, "Come in, Director Han will be back soon."

Lin Lan went to sit in Han Qingsong's seat.

The three deputy directors ended up being in one office. Because Deputy Director Li did not agree with Han Qingsong and Gao Weidong being together, nor did he agree with himself and Gao Weidong being together, so they broke down the wall and the three of them were in one office.

Gao Weidong poured half a cup of water for Lin Lan and asked, "Is everything going well there?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "It went smoothly."

The two teachers led the craftsmen to modify the processing tools and also got diamond abrasives and other tools. If you want to grind and cut gemstones, other tools are not enough, only diamond abrasives can be used, which has the highest hardness. In ancient times, it was done manually and the progress was very slow. Now that they have electricity, they can make electric turntables or saw blades to save time and effort.

It’s just not perfect yet and needs to be improved slowly.

At this time, Han Qingsong came back from outside. Lin Lan stood at the window and waved at him, "Third brother, can you go home?"

Han Qingsong nodded, and he went to the office to pack up. Tomorrow Lin Lan would not come to the county, but to Qingshi Commune, so he would go there instead of coming to the county. Anyway, unless there was a meeting, it didn't matter if he didn't come.

Gao Weidong said enviously, "Director Han, you are the only one who can match your days and work like this."

Han Qingsong glanced at him and said, "Not bad."

Gao Weidong: “…” You are so unmodest.

Han Qingsong took Lin Lan home first. At that time, the fields were still busy with the autumn harvest, picking autumn corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts. It was a busy scene.

When we got home, Da Wang, Mai Sui and Er Wang had just returned from school.

They have finished their autumn break and entered the second year of junior high school, and have just taken the entrance exam.

"Mom, we got the prizes from last semester's essay writing competition." Mai Sui happily took out the certificate and prizes, including a notebook, a ballpoint pen, and a fountain pen.

Lin Lan happily took the award certificates and looked at them. The children were very outstanding and had won many awards before, but every time Lin Lan was as happy and appreciative of them as she was the first time.

"Oh, big brother also won an award, that's amazing!" Lin Lan didn't expect that Da Wang also participated.

The content of this competition is also related to Sanwang. It is about the theme of China's first participation in the Asian Games. Narrative and argumentative essays are acceptable.

Mai Sui wrote "My Champion Brother". Although San Wang had not won the championship at that time, in her heart, her brother was the champion. She wrote about his growth and his obsession with swimming, showing the happiness of the family and the affection between them. She also reflected the progress of society, the government's emphasis on sports, and the desire to return to the international arena through the ordinary people's family.

There is not a single wasted word in this 2,500-word essay.

Erwang focused on the analysis of national conditions and international situations, and used points to connect lines and lines to represent the whole, and discussed his predictions on the direction of communism.

Da Wang also wrote it. He didn't want to write it at first, but Mai Sui and Er Wang wanted him to write it because it was related to the Asian Games.

Dawang wrote what he understood. To make a country strong, we must not only develop agriculture and industry, but also education and sports. More importantly, we must have a strong military force to back it up. Advanced weapons, elite troops, and a steely military spirit full of loyal beliefs!

It was originally just an essay writing competition in the county, but the county education committee thought it was very good and submitted it to the district and provincial committees.

So Lin Lan's family didn't know that their three children's articles had already been sent to the Provincial Education Commission.

Many teachers believe that the articles written by these three children have far surpassed the knowledge of today's children, and even surpassed many educated adults. More importantly, there is no dissatisfaction or complaint about current policies, no flattery, and no fear of foreign power between the lines. Instead, they are full of the energy and confidence of young people.

Although it still has some youthful naivety, it is still a good article.

Lin Lan: "As for the composition, don't lose the draft. Put it in the newspaper clippings at home."

Lin Lan was busy recently, so she did not help the children with their compositions this time. They completed them all on their own.

Mai Sui smiled and said, "Mom, it's not lost. I've kept it and will paste it back later."

Xiao Wang ran back home, "Mom, when will my brother Xiao Xian come back? Did he call me?"

Xiaowang lost three teeth at once a few days ago, and his speech is slurred. His mother is like a sheep, and his third brother is Xiaoxian.

Because he was malnourished when he was young, his teeth grew slower than other children, and he was thin and small. Later, Lin Lan gave him nutritional supplements, which made him better. But his foundation was not good, so he lost his teeth later. At first, he didn't lose any teeth, but when he did, he lost several teeth at a time.

After I lost my teeth, I no longer like to play the harmonica or flute because they leak air!

Lin Lan held his little face in her hands as usual and looked at it. Finally, the upper teeth showed a little white tip. It seemed that they would grow out completely in a while. Alas, these two teeth refused to grow out after eloping together. It made her very anxious. She had to check every day to see if they had grown out.

She laughed and said, "I received one on the 18th, saying that there are still some activities I need to participate in. I can't go home until the Chinese New Year. Then I will celebrate the Chinese New Year at home."

They had been following the Asian Games, listening to the radio and reading newspapers until the Asian Games ended on September 16, when the Chinese delegation returned to the capital on September 18.

At that time, Vice Chairman Deng and Vice Chairman Hua led sports officials to the Capital Airport to welcome the Chinese team's triumphant return. Newspapers such as People's Daily and Sports Daily used full pages to report this grand event.

The next day after Sanwang returned to Beijing, he called Lin Lan and told her that he would go home for the New Year at the end of the year.

But there has been no call in the past few days. I guess he is busy with other things.

Xiao Wang: "Then I will continue to write to Brother Xiao Xian."

Now he is the main letter writer in the family. Because he often writes letters to Sanwang, Xiaowang's Chinese performance has improved rapidly, and he has learned more commonly used characters than many junior high school students.

He also wrote a song for Sanwang called "Little Athlete". Now it doesn't need harmonica and flute, but accordion. When the little brother San comes back, he will play it for him.

Lin Lan brought Mai Sui to cook, while Han Qingsong led his three sons to help the production team collect food.

When they came back, we had dinner. Originally, Han Qingsong and Lin Lan sat opposite each other, but later he sat next to Lin Lan, and Da Wang sat opposite them.

After they sat down, Xiaowang asked, "Mom, is the gold medal that my brother Xiaoxian won gold?"

Lin Lan smiled and teased him deliberately, "Yes, I think it should be, otherwise why is it called a gold medal?"

Seeing Lin Lan's expression, Xiaowang didn't believe it. He was not as easy to fool as he was when he was a child.

He asked Erwang, because his elder sister and second brother knew more, "Brother, what do you think?"

Erwang smiled and said, "I have read the information and it seems that there is gold in it, but it is definitely not pure gold. The honor is greater than the value itself."

Xiao Wang nodded, "It's a bit stingy. If I let them compete, I will give them gold."

Mai Sui was amused by him, "Brother, have you ever seen gold?"

People who have picked up stones are different. They have never seen gold, so they are not rare about it.

Xiao Wang said proudly: "I have seen several gold teeth in the district committee. I even picked one up to have a look."

Da Wang: "Don't you want to eat?"

Xiao Wang looked at Da Wang in horror and waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother, absolutely not! I just wanted to try it out to see the effect."

A few days ago, they saw several pure gold teeth at Director Fang's place. They were old but had never been used. Xiaowang was curious about what the gold-inlaid teeth looked like because his front teeth had fallen out and had not grown back. He held up the gold teeth and compared them to his own teeth against the glass window.

At that time, Da Wang took a glance and thought that he was going to eat it as candy beans, so he rushed forward from a distance and snatched it away.

After listening to Xiaowang’s story, several children laughed, “Hahaha…”

Da Wang's face was filled with black lines.

Xiao Wang: "Brother, I'm not that stupid. You're too nervous."

Lin Lan was holding a bowl of millet porridge. She was trying to hold back her laughter. Just as she was about to drink it, she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Xiao Wang's words. The bowl in her hand shook and was about to fall on the table.

Han Qingsong was quick to grab the bowl of porridge and put it on the table.

Xiao Wang looked at them calmly and said to Lin Lan, "Mom, when you and Dad are in your eighties or nineties and need to get dental implants, we don't want gold teeth. My second brother said that gold is soft and not resistant to biting. We'll get diamond teeth then."

Lin Lan: "Haha... obedient old son, oh, I can't take it anymore, third brother, help me up."

Han Qingsong readily followed suit, put his arm around her and leaned her against his shoulder, and even stroked her waist.

Lin Lan laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. "Brother Xiaowang, you are my brother, can you let us have dinner?"

Xiao Wang: "Mom, I want to eat too, but I don't have any teeth. We agreed to share the rice and the hunger."

Da Wang glanced at Xiao Wang. For some reason, he felt that Xiao Wang had grown up to be San Wang. Was this child going to go astray?

Mai Sui also looked at Xiao Wang with a look of horror. He used to be so cute, so tender and innocent. Does teeth play such a big role?

Erwang smiled and said, "Your teeth have already grown out and will be healed soon." It should be normal once they grow out.

Xiao Wang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, let's eat. I will have my teeth when Xiao San Ge comes home."

Family: ...What is giving birth to a baby? Do you want to eat fried meat with twigs?

Lin Lan picked up the bowl to drink the porridge, and then heard Xiaowang sigh softly. She couldn't help but tremble her hands.

Han Qingsong held her arm.

Xiao Wang sighed, "These two haven't grown yet, and there are already several more waiting in line to fall off. Alas, girls can't be kept when they grow up."

He has been learning a lot of words in the production team recently.

Mai Sui and Lin Lan finally couldn't hold back any longer. The mother and daughter hugged each other and laughed out loud, pressing their stomachs to show that they couldn't hold it any longer.

Han Qingsong's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Xiaowang, feeling that he looked familiar. He had not said anything, but now he could not help it, so he took the bowl of porridge he had not drunk and placed it in front of Xiaowang, "If you have no teeth, drink the porridge."

Xiao Wang felt the care and stern gaze from his biological father. He smiled, showing his gap teeth, and said, "Dad, look at my teeth. Are they white?"

Han Qingsong: “!!!”

I think you deserve a beating.

Xiao Wang made everyone at the table laugh so hard that their stomachs ached, and two of them were speechless so hard that their teeth ached. He himself then leisurely began to eat his meal.

Lin Lan: "I laughed so hard that my abdominal muscles popped out."

Mai Sui wiped his tears, rubbed his stomach, and laughed until his stomach hurt. Er Wang sprayed himself with millet porridge and hurried to change his clothes.

Da Wang raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Wang's head, "Don't be naughty, you won't grow teeth if you are naughty."

Xiao Wang: "No, look at my third brother's big white teeth, they are so well-shaped."

Da Wang:…………I am speechless. You are so dumb with words.

When the meal was almost over, Shen Yu came over and saw that everyone in the family had a distorted expression, and he kept muttering to himself.

Lin Lan: "Did Shen Yu eat?"

Shen Yu smiled and said, "I ate it before."

Everyone greeted each other, and Da Wang sat a little further away to let Shen Yu sit down.

Seeing that there was still porridge, Lin Lan served him a bowl. There were also some dishes on the table, so she gave him a pair of chopsticks so that he could eat more.

Shen Yu did not refuse and sat down to drink the porridge.

After chatting about Sanwang and the Asian Games for a while, we talked about Mai Sui and his friends' essay writing competition.

Da Wang and Er Wang cleared the table and everyone sat at the table to talk.

Lin Lan has no time to go to the soap factory these days, but she is not worried since Shen Yu is with her.

The educated youth who came with Shen Yu were recruited back to the city by Chi Min's family through connections, and Zhao Mingjie recommended that they go to college, but this year two new people came. Now that new educated youth have come, the brigade does not allow them to farm, so they let them help in the soap factory. Because there is a soap factory, the brigade now has money to buy seeds, fertilizers, and improve farm tools, and the members can also go to work, so they are all very happy.

"Team leader, I have an idea." Shen Yu hesitated and said to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Shen Yu, you are the team leader now. If you want to do something, just discuss it with the branch secretary and the team leader. They will support you in most cases."

She knew Shen Yu. He was reliable and thoughtful, and he would not make random suggestions.

Shen Yu: "This is a big deal, I still need to discuss it with the team leader first. Our soap factory has some money now, I think we should give it to the brigade and let them buy some United tractors?"

"A tractor is good." Lin Lan agreed. "But do we have enough money?"

The tractor is naturally good. The quality of the Dongfanghong at that time was very good. You can use it for 30 years without any problem.

A small tractor costs at least two to three thousand yuan, and a complete set costs at least ten thousand yuan, maybe even thirteen or fourteen thousand yuan.

Han Qingsong said: "You can loan part of it."

Shen Yu nodded: "The commune will lend part of it, and the county can lend part more, which is enough."

Lin Lan was very happy: "We opened this brigade factory to improve the members' lives. It would be better to buy a tractor, which can make everyone's life easier."

Otherwise, ploughing the land every year is enough to make people suffer. If there are not enough animals, men and women have to work hard to pull the crops, which is simply exhausting.

Shen Yu took out a stack of letters from his pocket and said, "Team Leader, I have written the application."

Lin Lan smiled and praised: "Shen Yu always thinks carefully and is well prepared." She took it and looked at it. "I think it's good. Director Han, please help me take a look."

Han Qingsong took it and read it carefully, pointing out a few minor details and slightly modifying the wording.

Shen Yu: "Then I'll copy it again."

Lin Lan: "No need, just let my second brother copy it." She gave the letter to Erwang, whose handwriting was now quite good.

Erwang happily took it and helped to copy it.

Han Qingsong: "Submit your loan application as well and we'll approve it together."

Lin Lan said she wrote it.

Shen Yu took the initiative and said, "I'll write it."

Mai Sui took out a pen and paper and said, "Brother Shen Yu, here you go."

When he was almost done, Shen Yu showed it to Lin Lan and chatted with her, "Mai Sui and Er Wang are going to school in the county."

Lin Lan said, "I was thinking of giving it to them after the New Year."

Her work now takes her to several places, and it is not so convenient to live in the county, and sometimes she has to go back to the countryside. In fact, now they live between the county and home. The children have grown up and Xiaowang is sensible and no longer clings to her. As long as Dawang is at home, it doesn't matter if she and Han Qingsong don't come back.

The main reason was that they didn't want to move without Sanwang knowing, otherwise when Sanwang came home and found out about the new place, he wouldn't be used to it. That child is nostalgic.

After writing the application and checking that there were no problems, Lin Lan and Shen Yu went to the brigade to hold a meeting with Han Yongfang, the brigade leader and others. Naturally, it was passed unanimously, and then the brigade leader was stamped and signed by the brigade secretary and the brigade leader.

The next day, Lin Lan and Han Qingsong went to Shanshui Commune and took the application form to get it stamped.

Deputy Director Yang was now speechless. He stamped the document quickly and asked the commune's correspondent to deliver it to the county.

Since the county has connections with Han Qingsong and Lin Lan, it would be easy to get through. All Shanzui Village needs to do is prepare the money.

But I didn't expect it to get stuck in the area.

Because there is no tractor factory in the region, all the tractors are sent from the provincial capital. The provincial capital has to supply tractors to all the brigades in the province, so the queues are already three years later.

Even though they had some connections in the District Revolutionary Committee, the tractor factory replied that the earliest they could do so would be next year.

As to whether this is the case or for some other reason, since they said they don’t have the product, there’s nothing we can do about it.

Lin Lan and the others naturally couldn't force it. But to be honest, if there were tractors, it would be much easier to cultivate the land and plant wheat this year, and they could also earn money by cultivating the land for other brigades.

In a blink of an eye, it was August 14th, and Lin Lan wanted to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lin Lan and Han Qingsong went to the county market to buy two kilograms of meat, and also used coupons to buy a bag of crabs, shrimps, and clams. The seafood was all from X Island, 200 miles away, and it was fresh in this season.

It was a bit chilly after three o'clock in the afternoon in late autumn, and the local autumn winds were strong and sandy, so Han Qingsong didn't let Lin Lan ride a motorcycle. He just let her sit in the car and covered her with clothes to block the wind.

Lin Lan has become accustomed to being wrapped up from head to toe by him. After all, this is the care from Director Han.

The two rode their sidecar motorcycle home and stopped at the elementary school to pick up Xiaowang. He was rehearsing a show with Huo Hongzhen and didn't have to go to work.

Lin Lan didn't get on the bike either, and took Xiao Wang with her. Because starting a motorcycle consumes a lot of fuel, Han Qingsong pushed it and walked slowly behind.

Xiaowang doesn't stick around when Lin Lan is busy, but as long as his mother is not busy around him, he will naturally stick around.

When they arrived at the brigade, they discovered that there was a jeep parked at the door of her house, and three people were surrounding her door and groping on the wall.

One of the boys in sportswear was still yelling, "Hey, my mom put the key here, how come it's gone?"

"Little Third Brother!" Xiao Wang shouted excitedly, holding Lin Lan's hand and running home, "Mom, run!"

Lin Lan couldn't run as fast as him, so she quickly let go of him.

Sanwang heard the noise, turned around and shouted, then ran towards them.

Xiao Wang showed his gap teeth excitedly, "Brother Xiaoxian, I missed you so much!"

Sanwang laughed loudly, opened his arms, picked up Xiaowang and spun him around.

When Lin Lan came over, Sanwang put Xiaowang down, and without waiting for Lin Lan to react, he picked her up and took turns with her.

Lin Lan: “!!!”

Sanwang was very proud and boasted, "Mom, I'm very strong!"

Han Qingsong at the back: ...The twigs should not be thrown away.

…

Lin Lan: "Son, son, put me down quickly. You are the champion of the Asian Games, but you are still so naughty."

Sanwang had to hold Lin Lan in his arms again before putting her down, and said distressedly, "Mom, why are you so thin? Are you not getting enough food at home?"

Fu Zhengyuan behind: ...Where have you put your father, the one who supports the family?

Lin Lan quickly said, "Not at all. I eat three meals a day and two snacks. I am full. The jar is full of food."

Sanwang then bared his teeth at Han Qingsong, "Dad, I'm back."

Han Qingsong nodded, watching his son grow taller. Although he was still as lively as before, his expression was somewhat stable. "Very good."

Not even one more word.

Sanwang has gotten used to it. If Han Qingsong's aura wasn't so strong, he would have wanted to go up and pull up onions on dry land to see how heavy his father is. Unfortunately, he would definitely not be able to pull him up.

Lin Lan asked him again why he came back now if he didn't say he would come back during the Chinese New Year.

Sanwang grinned and said proudly: "Isn't this going to give you a surprise?"

This child, Lin Lan patted him.

Fu Zhengyuan and Wan Fubiao came over to say hello to Han Qingsong and Lin Lan.

Sanwang said he wanted to go home to visit his family, so Coach Bian arranged for him to take a train back to the provincial capital with Chu Yunfeng. However, the train from the provincial capital to his home had to wait, and Sanwang couldn't wait, so Chu Yunfeng applied to the provincial sports school and sent a jeep to take him to the regional sports school. Sanwang stopped by the sports school to visit his teachers and classmates, and the sports school arranged a jeep to take him home.

Fu Zhengyuan and Wan Fubiao came along just to play, and will go back with the car later.

Wan Fubiao was silly and happy and didn't feel anything, but Fu Zhengyuan was thoughtful and felt that Sanwang was still warm and close to them, and didn't alienate them just because he became the champion. This touched Fu Zhengyuan and made him like Sanwang even more. Lin Lan also liked this young man Fu Zhengyuan very much, and was very happy for him when she knew he was going to the provincial team.

"You guys can stay here for one night, have some fun together, and let your aunt and uncle show their hospitality as hosts."

Fu Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lin. I'll come visit you again if I have the chance. I have some work to do at school."

Lin Lan: "Then let's eat and go. We have a car so we don't need to waste time here."

Fu Zhengyuan discussed it with the driver.

The driver said he had to go do some work first and would pick them up at 8pm.

They took Sanwang's things off the jeep, big and small bags, a huge pile.

After the driver left, Lin Lan took out the key, opened the door and went home.

Sanwang: "Mom, you really moved the key."

Lin Lan teased him, "We call this a cunning rabbit with three burrows."

Everyone laughed.

Xiaowang kept holding Sanwang's hand, "Brother Xiaoxian, you have grown taller, so much taller than me." He still grows slower than his brothers.

Sanwang: "You've grown taller too." He gestured, "Look!"

He turned his head to look at Han Qingsong's son, eager to give it a try.

However, Han Qingsong put the key in his pocket and refused to let him ride. Sanwang was an athlete and if he got hurt it would be very serious.

Sanwang was not in a hurry to go into the house, and said, "Big brother, sister, and second brother, are you not finished school yet? Let's go to the south to welcome them."

Xiao Wang agreed, "Brother Zhengyuan, Brother Biao, let's go."

Wan Fu Biao scratched his head, it sounded a little strange, he took two steps and remembered that the local people said stupid is Biaohuhu, he is Biaoge...

Lin Lan and Han Qingsong returned home, and Han Qingsong took the bags to the yard.

Lin Lan was extremely happy because her third son had returned, and her steps were very light. She hummed a tune and danced, "The goddess of joy is holy and beautiful, and her brilliant light shines on the earth!"

She was singing and dancing, and when she saw Han Qingsong standing aside and watching her, she spun around and pulled him up, asking him to dance with her.

"Whoever can be a loyal friend and offer noble friendship, whoever can get happy love, come and have the party with us. Only by loving each other sincerely can you find your confidant!" She sang and danced with him.

Although Han Qingsong can't dance, he and her have a tacit understanding. They are good at moving forward and backward, sliding left and right, and spinning. He will also cooperate with her by raising his arms and hands and let her spin in his arms.

Finally, Lin Lan wanted to do a difficult backward move, but instead he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Under the blue sky of autumn, the light was clear and dazzling, without any obstruction. He stood against the light, his dark eyes becoming darker and darker, and there was a surge of emotion in his deep eyes, a deep affection that he himself was not aware of.

Lin Lan stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin, "Come on, Third Brother, help me prepare dinner for the guests..."

She simulated the posture of wearing three-inch high heels and used arias to express her excitement and joy. The moment she saw her son, she was more excited than hearing that he won the gold medal.

"Ah - Goddess of Destiny, thank you for your grace to us, I am willing to offer you my most sincere heart..." She turned her head to look at Han Qingsong, who had a look of excitement on his lips. She wanted to tease him, so she made a sacrificial gesture, pointed at Han Qingsong, and said, "Dedicate my man... to..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Han Qingsong strode forward, picked her up and lifted her high, then used his arms to throw her up.

Lin Lan was so frightened that she was trembling in the wind, "Third brother, spare my life, spare my life!"

Han Qingsong caught her, looked up and stared at her, "Who are you giving your man to?"

Lin Lan was so scared that she quickly held his head and said, "No one, no one, I'm not giving it to you. I'm using it for myself. How can I bear to give it to others?"

Han Qingsong's expression relaxed at this point. He turned his head and looked around. A branch as thick as his arm stretched out from the pomegranate tree at the base of the wall. He placed Lin Lan on it and said, "Reflect."

He was about to step back, but Lin Lan immediately stretched out her arms to hook him, saying in a soft and charming voice, "… Third brother~~ I'm scared."

She acted coquettishly towards him, especially when she was in a very happy and cheerful mood. He simply couldn't resist her soft and slightly cunning expression and charming voice.

Han Qingsong felt a current numbing him from the soles of his feet along his spine to the top of his head, as if his soul was about to be taken away by her.

He leaned his chest against the tree trunk and looked up at her. She was smiling, so bright and charming, with a blush on her face as if she had drunk too much.

Something in his chest was stirring, and he was about to ask, but then she leaned over, held his face and kissed him. She wanted to withdraw, but he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

After a moment, his forehead rested against hers. It was pitch black in the small intimate space between the two of them and nothing could be seen.

He said: "In the next life..."

He couldn't say anything cheesy, but if he didn't say it, he was afraid she would fly away and never see him again.

So, next life, please stay with me.
