"Run!" Sanwang shouted, asking Dawang, Maisui and Erwang to run quickly.

Da Wang stood there, his hands in his trouser pockets, and stretched his legs towards him when he saw him coming. If San Wang didn't stop, he would fall to the ground with a thud, so he threw himself on Er Wang, and the second brother would not kick him away.

Xiao Wang ran out of breath, his breath was all over his body, "Xiao San brother, you don't have to run, they won't beat you."

The students behind caught up and someone asked, "Yeah, what are you chasing?" They were not in Xiaowang's class.

"Didn't you chase him?"

"Then I saw him running."

Everyone: “…”

The fastest kid in Xiaowang's class rushed over and pointed at Sanwang, "He, he's Hanwang's older brother, he's, he's an athlete, the, the Flying Fish champion!"

“Ahhh…”

The children will play the same game of Sanwang after getting the chicken blood.

Damn it!

Sanwang's face changed and he rushed out at a speed that was good enough for him to compete in the Asian Games track and field.

Dawang: “…”

Why are these kids so crazy? Sanwang was never like this when he was in the brigade or the commune. No one was like this when he moved to the county last year. So why is this?

Because of being delayed by Sanwang, they were late when they got home. Lin Lan and Han Qingsong were already cutting meat.

Han Qingsong was cutting the mutton while Lin Lan was mixing the seasonings to marinate the meat. She looked up at the children who had returned and said, "My eldest son, take your younger brother to chop some wood."

Da Wang glanced at her and asked, "What kind do you want?"

Lin Lan thought about it and realized that ordinary tree branches were not resistant to burning, and there might not be any red willow branches here, so she said, "Jujube branches or thorny red jujube branches will do. Just be careful not to get stabbed."

At that time, except for the County Revolutionary Committee and the factory area, other places in the county were similar to the villages below. In some places, various shrubs and thorns grew, but because of the thorns, most people did not cut them.

She looked at him and said, "Teacher Xiaowang, where are your athlete students?"

Xiao Wang's forehead was covered with sweat from running. Mai Sui wiped his face with a towel. He said in a pouty tone, "You don't know that my third brother is getting more and more naughty now."

Da Wang had already gone to get the machete and put up the hemp rope, and then he heard Xiao Wang say, "He tricked me into saying he was going to school and asked me to go first. But when we got off school... during class, he went in with a piece of thin cloth covering his eyes. Our teacher asked him what was wrong, and he said he had white blindness."

"I've heard of night blindness, but can anyone tell me what white blindness is? He said that white blindness means that you can't see clearly during the day but your eyes are bright at night. He also loudly said that he was Han Wang's brother, and he squeezed into the same table with me. He wore an eye patch, and this time... he slept all day, and lied to us classmates after class. He told people that he went out to wander at the age of ten, went to many places, met many people, and ate many delicious foods. My classmates were so jealous of him. What's wrong with his brain? They thought it was a good thing when the third brother said he was wandering."

Xiaowang puffed up his cheeks and looked very excited, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to say so many words in one breath.

Lin Lan and Mai Sui were both stunned. Little Third Brother... deserved to be punished. No wonder he didn't go home.

"And then?" Erwang asked, putting the vocabulary book in his pocket.

Xiao Wang: "He was chased. After school, my classmate behind me remembered that I had a brother who was a sportsman, a Flying Fish, and asked which brother it was. My third brother bared his teeth, pulled down his blindfold, and said with a smile, "It's me." Then everyone in the room rushed towards him. People probably wanted to shake his hand or something, but he was so scared that he grabbed my schoolbag and jumped out the window to escape. I had no choice but to jump too, and my classmates shouted and chased after him, and I didn't know what was going on in the other classes, so they just ran around."

Lin Lan laughed out loud. She had flesh on her hands so she could only wipe away the tears from her eyes with her sleeves. "This child really needs some discipline. Teacher Xiaowang, you have to take good care of your student and stop him from being naughty again."

Xiaowang nodded, there is still a long way to go.

At this time, Sanwang came back from outside the door leisurely, looking as if nothing had happened. "Hey, why didn't you wait for me?"

Look, he ran away and said that no one was waiting for him.

Da Wang glanced at him coldly and handed him a small axe, "Go and chop the branches."

"Okay."

Erwang also wanted to go, but Dawang asked him to stay home to read or help his parents, so he took Sanwang with him on a bicycle. After they cut down the sour jujube branches, thorny branches, and jujube tree branches, they had to deal with them and directly trim the thorns with a knife.

Da Wang was very good at this. He stood up a branch and used the Damascus knife that San Wang gave him. The knife flew and cut the branch in a flash.

Lin Lan: ...This down-to-earth little knife, I don't know which nobleman used it to cut meat and bread, today I came to her house to trim branches. This knife is really sharp, it is effortless to cut this kind of small wood.

Da Wang sharpened one end of the wooden axe, San Wang held it and rolled it on the whetstone to ensure that there was no burr at all, and then handed it to Lin Lan.

While they were cutting branches, Lin Lan and Mai Sui had already marinated the meat. They cut the meat into inch-long pieces and put them into a bowl. They poured a large bowl of chopped green onion, ginger and garlic into the bowl, added fennel, star anise powder, Sichuan pepper powder, some chili powder, salt, sugar, wine, and a little peanut oil.

While she was busy, Jiang Chunxia sent her boy to deliver something to Lin Lan.

"Manager Lin, this is a gift from my mother." He threw down a big paper bag, said hello and ran away.

There was no child in the compound who was not afraid of Dawang, especially when Dawang was wielding a sharp knife. Although Dawang didn't even glance at him, he felt as if he was being stared at by some terrifying animal, and his whole body was numb, which was particularly scary.

Lin Lan: "Gao Yu, why are you so anxious about this child?"

Erwang and Maisui laughed.

It was actually when they first started dealing with each other last year that many of the naughty kids in the cadre families were scared by Da Wang. At that time, they had just moved in, and the kid kings in the neighborhood wanted to provoke them to establish their authority and let Da Wang and the others know the rules.

There were only a few leaders, a boy from Director Qin's family, a boy from Deputy Director Li's family, two from Gao Weidong's family, a grandson from the old director's family, and the rest from other families, a total of about 20 people. They were divided into two groups, one group claimed to be tough guys who relied on their fighting skills, and the other group claimed to be cool and liked to flirt with girls. These two groups of naughty kids were also arrogant in this area, thinking that no one could control them.

Then the tough guys provoked Dawang, and the cool guys flirted with Mai Sui, but in the end, they were all dealt with by Dawang.

Lin Lan didn't know about this at first, but she heard about it afterwards. Those children who were punished were really shameless, and none of them came to ask their parents for help. Lin Lan had always been willing to think that her children got along well with the children in the compound.

Now everything is peaceful, which is not a good thing. They are all afraid of him. When they see Da Wang, they either avoid him or behave themselves.

"He had a knife and said he was going to cut off my ear!"

"His eyes are so scary. You don't know. I really suspect that he can break my neck with one hand!"

"I don't want to be kicked by him again. How can he be so cruel? He must have used all his strength to kick me."

Anyway, Da Wang didn't care whether the kids in the compound distanced themselves from him or blackened him intentionally or unintentionally. It didn't matter if he kept to himself, not to mention that he had his younger brothers and sisters with him.

Several people worked together to put the big piece of meat on the skewer. Han Qingsong put the charcoal directly into the stove, extinguished the fire after it burned, put the red charcoal in a simple square stove pit made of bricks, put two iron grates on it, and then started grilling the meat!

The children put the skewers of meat on the stove themselves. Each skewer was as long as Xiaowang's arm and fit perfectly on the stove.

Han Qingsong was roasting him and Lin Lan.

Lin Lan opened the paper package Gao Yu had sent her and shouted happily, "Cumin!"

Cumin and barbecue are a perfect match, while peppercorns and aniseed are just maids!

Sanwang and Xiaowang rushed over, but Dawang held them back to prevent them from blowing the cumin away!

Erwang quickly took an enamel bowl and put the cumin in it. "Mom, how do you eat this?"

Lin Lan: "Sprinkle it on when it's almost done. Oh, and brush it with hot sauce and oil first."

With the butler here, the children can't just brush the chili sauce and oil on them. Erwang is responsible for brushing them on, and he will definitely brush them evenly and economically without wasting any money. After brushing the sauce and continuing to grill, Erwang sprinkles cumin on the skewers.

Xiao Wang was anxious: "Brother, please sprinkle some for me."

Erwang took a look and said, "Bake it again, it's not cooked yet."

Sanwang: "Mine, mine!"

Erwang: "Yours is almost burnt." He quickly took it and roasted it for Sanwang, sprinkled some cumin on it and let Sanwang eat it.

The lamb with cumin is roasted until it is sizzling and oozing with oil. Take it into your mouth while it is still hot. It is hot and fragrant, and the taste of cumin makes the lamb taste several times better. Your whole mouth is filled with a strong sense of happiness. After swallowing it, every strand of hair feels comfortable from the inside out.

"Delicious, delicious. Brother San baked it so deliciously. His skills are first-rate." Sanwang praised himself for his baking skills while eating.

Lin Lan cut the dough into pieces and put them on the iron grate to bake. She brushed some oil on them and they became crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. She then cut some roasted mutton and stuffed it in. The fragrant meat-stuffed bun was ready.

In addition to the staple food, Lin Lan also prepared some potato chips, sweet potato chips, leeks, and spinach, and placed them next to the skewers to absorb the oil.

In the middle of winter, the heat from the barbecue was so intense that the whole family was sweating from eating.

Xiao Wang held up an arm-length lamb skewer and sighed happily, "Oh, it smells so good. I can never have enough of it."

Mai Sui teased him, "Little brother, you are not afraid of eating meat."

Xiao Wang said confidently, "I have never been afraid. I am afraid of killing chickens, cows, and dogs. I like pork and mutton very much."

He doesn't eat beef anymore because he thinks cows are only used for plowing the fields.

Sanwang ate until his mouth was full of oil and said with a smile: "Little teacher, you can eat beef in the future. I heard that there are places that specialize in raising cattle for meat, and they don't work."

Xiao Wang and his friends were very curious, "They don't work? Cows are so hungry, why do we keep them if they don't work?"

A cow eats a lot of food in a year.

Sanwang: "Eat."

"Wow, who is so extravagant? Such a decadent bourgeois lifestyle."

Sanwang laughed, "That's them. They raise cattle just for meat."

Xiao Wang: "So they usually eat white flour?"

Sanwang: "I guess they might eat noodles or bread? I'll go take a look then."

Erwang remembered what he had said before, "Henry said they have a big chicken there?"

"Yeah, he said it was as big as a dog and asked me to eat it. I didn't believe it. How could a chicken grow that big? It was so ridiculous. He even released a satellite."

Lin Lan laughed and guessed that he was talking about turkey, which is bigger than ordinary chickens, but not that exaggerated.

As we were talking, someone knocked on the door.

Erwang went to answer the door. There was a street light diagonally opposite. Although it was not very bright, it could illuminate the road clearly.

The person who came was Liu Haozhe. He smiled and said, "I'm here to pay you back. Your parents are at home."

Erwang called his uncle-in-law and invited him in. When he was about to close the door, he found a girl shivering in the cold wind outside. She was looking in here, and when she met his eyes, she turned around and left in panic.

Erwang didn't take it seriously and wanted to close the door, but she suddenly turned around and ran towards him.

Erwang: "What's wrong?"

The girl pursed her lips and blushed, "Is Han, Han Wangguo at home?"

Erwang turned around and shouted, "Brother, someone is looking for you."

Da Wang responded and came out quickly. "Who is it?" He turned his head and saw a girl with a red face, who didn't know if she was frozen or something. "What's wrong?"

The girl was so nervous that her hands began to tremble. She quickly stuffed a package into his hand and ran away.

Da Wang is in a fog, what is he doing?

Erwang couldn't help laughing.

Da Wang glanced at him and smiled. He stuffed the things in his hand to Er Wang and said, "You solve it."

Erwang: "No, big brother, they came to you, what's the point of asking me to solve it?"

Da Wang: "If there's a fight, come to me. If there's a mediation, come to you."

Erwang was very upset. He just stayed to see how busy his elder brother was. He didn't know that he was being asked to stay by his elder brother. He squeezed the thing in his hand. There was a pair of insoles wrapped in the newspaper. He ran out and said, "Hey, stop!"

As a result, the girl ran away madly.

Erwang: "..." He was holding a hot potato in his hand. What was the meaning of giving insoles? Of course he knew that when a girl gave a boy insoles... it was a token of love. "Brother, who is this person?"

Da Wang's voice came from the yard, "I don't know him." Er Wang entered the yard and saw Liu Haozhe talking to his parents in the main room, so he didn't go in.

Lin Lan politely asked Liu Haozhe to eat barbecue.

Liu Haozhe didn't eat and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I came here after having dinner. Now I have a child at home and I only eat a few meals a day." Liu Haozhe did come to repay the money. He was very restrained and didn't hang out with Lin Lan's family much on weekdays. Except for the chance encounters, he only met them once or twice on purpose and only said a few words each time.

He gave the money to Lin Lan, thought for a moment, and asked Han Qingsong: "Third brother, there is a cousin of someone in our factory who was implicated in a fight and was also arrested. Do you think this is unfair?"

Han Qingsong glanced at him and said, "Go to the Public Security Bureau and ask."

He never talks about the work of the Public Security Bureau with anyone at home, and everyone knows his temper. So far, no one has come to him to plead for mercy.

Liu Haozhe: "Don't get me wrong, Third Brother. I'm not here to ask for help. I'm just wondering if I know you and want to get some information. I didn't commit any crime and was implicated. I don't think I can get out just by using some connections."

Han Qingsong glanced at him and said, "What does it matter if it's not against the law?"

Liu Haozhe smiled and said innocently, "Who said it? I said so too, but they were worried and said that since they knew me, they would help ask."

"Go to the Public Security Bureau to find Liu Jianyun." Liu Jianyun is now the captain of the Public Security Bureau and he can review all kinds of cases.

Liu Haozhe: "Third brother, he is from the commune brigade, not the county." In the commune, Han Qingsong has the final say.

He thought it was a trivial matter, not to mention a relative, it was just an ordinary friend asking for help. If nothing was wrong, he would release the person. If something was wrong, he would give some advice on how to get the person out. Obviously, Han Qingsong didn't buy it and was not an ordinary person.

Han Qingsong: "Well, let them ask Luo Haicheng."

Luo Haicheng and Han Qingyun are still the two team captains under Han Qingsong, and their salaries can remain unchanged.

Seeing that Han Qingsong really didn't want to get involved directly, Liu Haozhe had to say goodbye and Dawang sent him to the door.

After Da Wang closed the shop and went home, Liu Haozhe looked back. Over the past year or so, he thought he had a good relationship with Lin Lan's family by paying back debts and visiting them during festivals. He had no idea that such a small matter would still not work. He also found it very strange. From the looks of Lin Lan, she also loved making friends. Not long after she came, she got along well with everyone in the County Revolutionary Committee. But why was she always indifferent to him?

He thought about it, turned around and went to the family building in front, went up to the third floor and knocked on the door.

Miao Hongying: "Who is it?"

Liu Haozhe smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me."

Miao Hongying: "Hey, Accountant Liu, come in."

Deputy Director Li was not at home, and Miao Hongying and the children were having dinner.

Liu Haozhe said with a smile: "I smelled the delicious aroma of mutton all the way here, and I thought it was a welfare benefit from your Revolutionary Committee."

Miao Hongying's face fell suddenly, "Don't tell me if I say anything bad, your wife's third brother and sister-in-law are really worthless."

Liu Haozhe scratched his head awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed by your behavior. My third brother and his wife are very nice people."

Miao Hongying kept talking for about forty meters before she finally remembered, "What's your matter?"

Liu Haozhe repeated what he had said to Han Qingsong, "They said it was not in vain."

Miao Hongying: "Why did you come to me for such a trivial matter? Why didn't you go to your third brother?"

Liu Haozhe: "What kind of person is my third brother? He never helps others. Sister-in-law, how could you not know that?"

Miao Hongying snorted, "Of course I know." He gave mutton to others but not to me! "He is just pretending to be famous. He avoids helping with trivial matters. Our Lao Li is not like that."

Liu Haozhe smiled and took out a few cloth coupons and placed them on the cabinet beside the wall. "The textile factory has just produced a piece of cloth, which is perfect for making clothes for the New Year. Sister-in-law, I'll be leaving first so as not to disturb you from having dinner."

He said goodbye.

Miao Hongying sent it to him and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter, just tell Old Li."

Liu Haozhe walked to the intersection and stood there, looking back. The smoke from the barbecue in the backyard was still rising in the air, and there was the aroma of cumin lamb floating over, and even the laughter of children. He couldn't help but smile, it seemed really hard to approach.

He had no intention of expecting Han Qingsong to help him, he just wanted to test the waters to see how his relationship with them had improved over the past two years. It seemed that they were only maintaining a superficial harmony.

He thought it was just superficial friendliness. To Lin Lan, superficial friendliness was just being polite.

After all, given her feelings for Han Jinyu, she wanted to never have any contact with him again.

Lin Lan glanced at the few children outside who were still playing with charcoal fire after eating, and whispered to Han Qingsong, "Third brother, at that time I was afraid that they would come to you to do things if they were familiar with you. Now it seems that's true."

Being an official is really a difficult thing to do. Everyone, including relatives and friends, can encounter problems. Some need to borrow money or food, some want to find a way to go to university, join the army, or work in a factory. Some have conflicts with others and need help. If you don't help, people will say that the rich have no humanity. If you help, there will be one and then another. There will be mild cases and severe ones. There will be people who spend money and people who have relationships with you will get deeper and deeper in the end.

No matter how powerful a person is, it is difficult to grasp this degree, so she supports Han Qingsong. He has a cold temper, not warm, and will not respond to any requests, and will not back down no matter how big the matter is. Whenever there is a problem, he will go to the police station to report it, and his family will never talk, accept or help, not even his own parents.

This way, Lin Lan felt at ease. There were never any idle people waiting to come to their house, unlike some other houses, which were always crowded with people. Although they were lively, they also had great hidden dangers.

After all, according to her idea, it is good enough for her family to live a simple life, and she has never thought about becoming more prosperous and powerful.

It doesn't matter to her whether Han Qingsong is a director or sells kebabs. It's just a job. There's nothing wrong with working hard as long as she gets paid.

Han Qingsong: "Liu Haozhe has many friends."

Lin Lan didn't understand, "What's the matter? There must be a lot of people like them who work in a textile factory looking for help." At this time, even the vegetable sellers in the market, the goods sellers in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the pig slaughterers in the slaughterhouse were all very popular, not to mention the accountants in the textile factory.

Han Qingsong didn't say anything else, but stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk."

Lin Lan: "You didn't eat much."

Han Qingsong: "I ate it. A skewer of meat and three flatbreads."

Lin Lan: “…” You ate so fast, I didn’t even notice.

Han Qingsong took a coat and wrapped it around her, then wrapped a cashmere scarf around her, and took her hand and went out for a walk.

Xiaowang and Sanwang also wanted to go, but were stopped by Mai Sui.

Mai Sui: "It's time to learn English. Let's eat lamb skewers today. Come on, let's simulate this scene."

Sanwang changed into a minority in a second and said in a pretentious tone: "Hello, everyone, come and try my mutton skewers. If they don't taste good, I won't charge you."

Erwang took out the pair of insoles and said to Mai Sui, "Return them to the owner tomorrow."

Mai Sui turned his head and took a look. "Who gave you the insoles? Although the needlework is ordinary, it takes a lot of thought. You are very brave."

Erwang: “It’s not mine!” He glanced at Dawang, but Dawang acted as if nothing had happened, as if it belonged to Erwang.

Erwang: “…”

Mai Sui: "Okay, I'll help, but who are you giving it to?"

Erwang thought about it. The girl was two years older than Mai Sui. She looked like a high school student. Maybe she was in Class 2? Or a sophomore? Erwang's daily life was simple. He went to class and studied with Mai Sui. After class, he would sometimes play basketball with his older brothers. He would often play with the students who were good at studying and playing basketball. He didn't have much time to interact with the others. After all, he didn't have enough time to study.

Seeing that they were all full, Da Wang started eating seriously and finished the remaining skewers of meat.

Mai Sui: “…” My elder brother is such a big eater. I can’t even finish such a big skewer of meat.

Da Wang was surprisingly fine after eating, unlike Xiao Wang and San Wang who were struggling to walk around in the yard.

Erwang: "Brother, do you want to tell mom?"

Da Wang frowned slightly, "You can't solve it?"

Do you want to tell your parents about such a trivial matter?

Erwang looked at his elder brother with an expression that said, "You are obviously very capable, why do you disappoint me and go to my parents whenever you encounter problems like an incompetent child?" He felt embarrassed for a moment, but he thought, well, he is the younger brother and he should help his brother solve his problems.

If it was something else, Erwang would think it was very simple, but he had no experience with this kind of thing!!!

The next day, Erwang stared at the dark circles under his eyes. He still wrapped the insole with newspaper and tied it with a hemp rope to prevent it from falling out. He put the newspaper into Mai Sui's schoolbag.

Sanwang asked Lin Lan for two yuan, and Lin Lan gave it to him without asking what he was going to do with it. Lin Lan was in a meeting at the Revolutionary Committee today, so she left her bicycle behind, and Sanwang took Xiaowang to the supply and marketing cooperative on his bicycle.

On the way, Xiao Wang asked: "Xiao San brother, you didn't get a ticket either, what are you buying?"

Sanwang: "My face is the ticket." His face often appears in newspapers in the province, especially in the local area. It is more useful than a ticket.

Xiao Wang: "Xiao San brother, you are really amazing."

"So who do you think is better, me or my brother?" Sanwang started teasing again.

Xiao Wang thought seriously and compared them. "They are both very powerful. However, I don't think you will ever be able to beat Big Brother in your lifetime."

Sanwang: "Thank you, little teacher. I don't want to fight with Comrade Han Wangguo. He can't swim as fast as me."

Xiao Wang: "That's right, but I can't hold my breath as long as you."

Sanwang brought Xiaowang with him and really used facial recognition to buy two yuan worth of rock candy.

Xiao Wang was stunned, "Little Third Brother, this is really possible."

The president of the supply and marketing cooperative was there just now, and he pulled San Wang aside to talk to him cordially, asking him to continue to win glory for the country, saying that eating candy was nothing, the supply and marketing cooperative would take care of it! ! San Wang naturally refused to eat for free, and he brought money but didn't have a ticket, so he owed it first. The president said that he had given the ticket, and when he weighed it, he gave San Wang an extra ounce.

Hey! It's better than Director Han's face.

As soon as the two entered the school gate, some students saw them and immediately surrounded them, wanting to hug them, shake their hands, and touch their heads and faces.

Seeing more and more students, Sanwang shouted, "Stop! Line up and give out candy!"

As expected, the children stopped and began to line up to receive candy. Sanwang held a large jar of rock sugar and began to divide it with a small tongs, giving each person a piece.

After sealing the students' mouths with candy, he and Xiaowang finally entered the classroom.

When the students in his class saw him, they couldn't help but go crazy, as if they couldn't express their passion without shouting like crazy, stomping their feet and waving their hands.

Sanwang followed suit, "Give out candies! Two pieces per person."

The students who were usually disobedient were now well behaved. Each of them took two pieces, and there was half a jar left.

The monitor took it and placed it on Sanwang's desk, "Hey, thank you champion for treating us to candy."

Sanwang: "Keep a low profile, don't brag about being the champion, I have a name."

"Little San brother!" Everyone shouted together, and Sanwang trembled with fear: I'm talking about Han Wangmin, I have a big name.

"Brother Xiaosan, can you please sign your autograph for me?" A girl came over with a notebook and a pen, looking at him expectantly. She felt extremely admiring of him, just like the handwriting of a leader on a newspaper.

Sanwang hates writing the most!!! He immediately blocked the girl. He groaned and waved his hand, "No, my arm hurts. I was swimming around in the competition and bumped my arm."

His classmates immediately showed concern for him.

Xiaowang: You are not from the dance troupe, so don’t be so dramatic!

Sanwang saw that his brother seemed to want to expose him, so he immediately said: "Why don't I let my brother sign for you."

Xiaowang: "Eat candy, everyone eats candy." After eating the candy, be good and don't make trouble.

He had three pieces of rock candy in his mouth, his cheeks were puffed up, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.

Seeing that Sanwang’s arm was in a bad condition, the classmates had no choice but to go back to their seats and eat candy.

"Little Third Brother, you have to listen carefully in math class today, or you will get confused when swimming."

Sanwang rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask a university professor to turn a millstone like a donkey, he won't be able to remember how many turns it has made."

Xiao Wang: "Little Third Brother, you should be in the first grade of junior high school now, so you still need to learn physics. I heard my second brother and sister talking about buoyancy, resistance, and friction. If you knew these, would you be better at swimming?"

Sanwang collapsed on the desk, propping up his head with one hand and covering his mouth with the other hand as he yawned. "Teacher Xiaowang, please explain to me, we are all human beings, in the same pool, with the same buoyancy and resistance, and also that friction. How can I stretch to be smaller than others? By the time I figure out the physics problem, the competition will be over."

Xiao Wang thought about it and gave another example to refute Xiao San Ge, "For example, in basketball, if you calculate the wind resistance and the angle of the ball, wouldn't you be more likely to win?"

Sanwang yawned even more violently. He couldn't stand hearing people talk about studying. He would get sleepy the moment they talked about studying. "Little teacher, sports rely on training and physical instincts, not calculations. Some people can shoot a ball with their eyes closed. They rely on the body's instinct to remember."

Xiaowang thought about it and it seemed to make sense. Then he thought about himself. Playing the piano or flute does not require any knowledge. It all depends on the passion in the brain, the feel of the hands, and the mood... So, does that mean I don't need to learn it either?

Xiaowang scratched his head and said, "I write music and lyrics. For math, it is enough to know numbers within ten. I don't need math, physics, or chemistry. I do need Chinese and English, but I have to forget about the other things."

The decision was made happily. Xiao Wang then began to yawn contentedly. Then a light bulb suddenly flashed in his head, and he picked up his pen and started writing. He often did this, and when he was touched, he would get inspiration, and then a song would come out.

His greatest interest was to express what came out of his mind and heart, whether it was with numbers, instruments, or lyrics, anyway, he just wrote it down. His music at this time was not complicated, but basically simple and bright.

Erwang, a student from Class 1 of the Senior High School Department, strolled around during the break to see who the female classmate was so that Mai Sui could find a chance to return the insoles to her and kindly advise her not to do such a thing again.

He would say: Oh, it's no use, please give up, my eldest brother already has two wives.

It's not hard to find him, he just needs to look around his elder brother. Da Wang's activities are not very large, if he is in school, he is either in the classroom or playing basketball.

Erwang stared at Dawang's surroundings and soon saw the female student. He asked someone casually about her name and class, and then came back to tell Mai Sui.

Mai Sui laughed and said, "How dare she be so brave to approach Big Brother?"

Da Wang always looked like he didn't want anyone to get close to him, and he exuded a cold aura. After getting to know him for a while, his classmates found that he was not that cold, but just immersed in his own world. They even found that he was easy to talk to, and he would basically help if asked for help. However, he never chatted with girls, and outsiders generally didn't dare to approach him.

"Then how should I tell them?" Mai Sui had no experience either. If she were in the right mood, she would just tell them directly that my brother is not interested in you, but that seems a bit hurtful.

Erwang: "Just say that the eldest brother has a wife."

Mai Sui covered her mouth and laughed, "A child marriage?"

Erwang: "When do you think his eyes light up the most?"

Mai Sui: "Dagger, gun, car." She nodded, "I understand."

At the next class, Mai Sui took the things to find Qiu Meiling.

Qiu Meiling is a sophomore in high school, one grade higher than them. She will graduate next summer and go to the countryside or look for other ways out.

The two were talking in a secluded place.

Qiu Meiling was apprehensive, "Han Maisui, you're looking for me?"

Mai Sui smiled and returned the insole to her. "Sorry, we can't accept your gift."

Qiu Meiling's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands quickly, "Don't, don't misunderstand, I just want to express my gratitude. Last month, I was bullied by some bad kids, and it was Han Wangguo who saved me."

Mai Sui smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed. He didn't save you on purpose. He was helping out at the Public Security Bureau. That's his job."

Qiu Meiling's face turned pale. She took the thing, lowered her head and ran back to the classroom quickly, feeling very disappointed.

When Mai Sui returned, he found a row of boys with their hands in their trouser pockets, standing in line against the south wall of the classroom to bask in the sun.

They kept looking at her, some smiled at her, some whistled at her. One of them was a tall, thin man with a handsome appearance, wearing a green military uniform, but he didn't have a collar badge because he was not a soldier.

"Han Mai Sui!" He called her and smiled at her.

This is Gao Ling, the eldest son of Gao Weidong. In Mai Sui's eyes, he is always defeated by his elder brother. Because of various reasons, she has kept a distance from Da Wang and Han Qingsong's colleagues' children since she moved here for more than a year.

She ignored Gao Ling and left.

"Boss Gao was ignored once again. How cold and heartless!"

Several boys stared at her back, their necks stretched straight, "She is so beautiful."

Gao Ling patted them one by one, "What are you looking at? Is that something you can see?" He stared at Mai Sui's back, "You are just too arrogant, like a peacock." He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Hey, Boss Gao, the proud peacock wants to date you, do you want to?"

"Yes!" Gao Ling rolled his eyes at him, "Wipe your drool clean, it's none of your business!"

"Haha, it's none of your business. If you don't believe me, just go up and try." Several of his friends challenged him fearlessly.

Han Mai Sui goes in and out with her brother and younger brother all day long, so none of them has a chance to make fun of each other.

Mai Sui went back, Er Wang smiled at her and asked softly, "Are you done?"

Mai Sui: “Of course.”

"What did you tell her?"

Mai Sui: "I said my brother likes pretty girls."

Erwang was a little skeptical.

Mai Sui: "Really, your excuse of having a wife is lame. You don't understand girls' minds."

Erwang: "You are not a girl?"

Mai Sui: "Then why didn't they grow up in the same womb? They are different."

"You really said that?"

"Of course. She even asked how beautiful she had to be. I said prettier than me. She went back disappointed."

The students in the front and back seats heard this and exchanged glances with each other. These three people are not planning to find a partner. For those who have no future after high school graduation, marriage is also a solution. But Han Wangguo needs to find a partner who is prettier than his sister, and Han Maisui needs to find a partner who is better at fighting than his elder brother and better at studying than his younger brother. Is this possible?

As the two of them sitting in front and behind each other, they were the first group of people to face reality and stop flirting.

However, this also sent out a wrong signal. Everyone said that Han Wangguo liked pretty girls, and his sister was his benchmark. He would not even look at anyone who was inferior to his sister.

Gradually, each girl who appeared in front of him was prettier than the other, which resulted in Da Wang having no judgment on whether girls were beautiful or not. He thought they all had two eyes and a nose anyway. Except for his mother and sister, he had never looked closely at any of them.

At this moment, his mother was being pulled aside to talk to him about a wife.

Lin Lan discovered that in this office, if it is a high-ranking person or a young person, there is more competition. But if it is all older women with a stable job, they will have a guaranteed income for a hundred years. Well, their greatest pleasure is to gossip about other people's gossip and find partners for others.

"Mr. Lin, your eldest son is eighteen years old this year."

Lin Lan: "Sixteen, in school. Only in the first year of high school."

"You're not young at the age of sixteen. You'll graduate in the next year after this year. Will you go to the countryside or stay in the Public Security Bureau first?" If you stay in the Public Security Bureau, you won't get paid and you won't be a regular employee.

"I haven't decided yet."

Da Wang’s future planning had actually been completed a few years ago.

He likes it, and with a push from Han Qingsong and a push from above, it will be done. Han Qingsong said that he doesn't care about the children's struggles, but after all, he was born in the military and has deep feelings for the army. He is the kind of person who wants to hand his son over to the country.

If Erwang was not focused on studying and had no interest in joining the army, if Sanwang was only interested in water and food, and if Mai Sui and Xiaowang were only interested in those petty-bourgeois things, it is estimated that the five children in the family might have been kicked into the army by him.

Of course, Lin Lan would not tell others that her children had a future. After all, everyone is worried now. They are reluctant to let their children suffer in the countryside, and there is not enough food at home if they stay in the city. There are limited job openings in factories, and children usually take over after their parents retire.

The government agencies have not yet taken over.

To go to university, one must have three years of work experience, so there is no one who doesn't worry about the child's future.

So some people also look for loopholes, that is, to find a partner to marry after graduation. Look for those who have a good family background and a high salary to support the family. Although they don’t have a job, as a family member, they have 29 kilograms of food coupons per month, and other benefits. It’s just that they don’t have a job and don’t get paid. After a few years of hard work, when they are old enough, can’t they enter the factory?

Zhou Fengjie, director of the Political Group's office in charge of ideological education, was extremely enthusiastic about the marriages of his comrades and their children.

"Mr. Lin, you have many children and a lot of pressure. You still need to think of a solution."

They all knew that Lin Lan was not good at living. She always bought delicious food for the children and never saved money on other things. Although Han Qingsong and Lin Lan both worked, their salaries must have been spent about the same. When the children grow up, they should make some plans, right?

Lin Lan just nodded and said, "I think about it every day."

"Lin Lan, my sister-in-law has a niece who works in a flour mill and takes over her mother's job. You see how much they love their daughters-in-law. Usually, the job is passed on to their sons and daughters-in-law. How can they let their daughters-in-law take over? Yes, if they let their daughters-in-law take over, then they belong to the husband's family. I've seen this daughter-in-law before. She's pretty, with fair skin and bright eyes. Hey, she's about the same age as you."

Lin Lan's scalp tingled. You introduced a girl to my son, and you said she was similar to me. I would be scared to death.

Finally, it was lunchtime. When the canteen rang, Lin Lan stood up, grabbed her lunch box and left. "Director Zhou, I'm going to look for our Director Han first."

If this continues, I feel like my second son will be engaged to someone else.

Han Qingsong had just returned to the office and was pouring some hot water when he saw Lin Lan running towards him as if she was being chased. He looked behind her in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Lan: “I miss you.”

Gao Weidong & Deputy Director Li: “!!!”

Deputy Director Li: "Young people, please be aware of the impact."

Gao Weidong just laughed.

Lin Lan then realized that they were in the room, just in the corner next to the file cabinet. She thought no one was there. She looked very calm, "Director Li and Director Gao are both here. I wanted to ask if our Director Han had eaten."

Gao Weidong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you miss Director Han. We won't be jealous. We'll give Director Han back to you. Let's go eat."

Han Qingsong was just like what others said, he was not the same person. He took his lunch box and went to the cafeteria with Lin Lan.

After dinner, we sat down and soon
