Lin Lan: "Let me see."

Xiao Wang took the notebook and said with a smile, "Mom, look."

Lin Lan could tell at a glance that the handwriting was from Sanwang, and she wanted to imitate Xiaowang's handwriting. She glanced at Xiaowang and saw that the child had really grown up. His originally pure and flawless eyes were now glittering with cunning. Lin Lan felt that her mother didn't know whether she should be happy or sigh.

When Xiao Wang was too innocent and honest, she was always worried that he would be bullied when he left her side. Now that he showed his cleverness, she was worried that his innocent heart would be affected.

Xiao Wang felt guilty when he saw Lin Lan's eyes, and hugged Lin Lan, "Mom, I'm sorry, I won't do this again." He couldn't bear to see his mother sad and angry, so he thought to himself: if he didn't study hard and didn't do his homework properly, his mother would definitely be angry. When he saw Lin Lan's scrutinizing eyes, he immediately gave in.

I can't even hold on for a second.

Lin Lan lowered her head and looked at his pale little face, his big eyes like black grapes full of apology. She smiled and pinched his pretty nose. "Re-do the homework you did wrong these days and apologize to your math teacher."

Xiao Wang: "Yes, Mad!"

Lin Lan smiled and tapped his forehead, "Go do your homework." She then said outside, "Eldest son, bring back the third donkey."

Soon, Da Wang and San Wang came in from outside. Da Wang looked normal, but San Wang had a look of despair on his face, with a pouty mouth, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

Lin Lan: "Do you arrange cultural classes besides training now?"

Sanwang nodded hurriedly, "Mom, yes, yes."

"What class?"

"I have Chinese, math, and English." I don't have physics, chemistry, or history, but I have some knowledge of politics, because I have to learn current affairs and shout slogans, so I have to know these.

Lin Lan asked him what he had learned and randomly checked his Chinese and English, but his math was a mess.

Lin Lan patted Sanwang's shoulder and said to Xiaowang, "Teacher Xiaowang, your teaching qualification has been revoked. From today on, you are Xiaosan's classmate. You two should bring your homework back to your sister and brother for inspection every day. If any of your homework fails, Xiaowang will be punished."

She touched Xiaowang's head and said, "Do you understand? It's you, Xiaowang, who are being punished, not your classmates or anything like that." Don't play word games when the time comes.

Xiaowang nodded obediently, "Mom, I know." He pulled Sanwang again, "Little San brother, did you hear me? Whether I can still be a good person depends on you."

Sanwang: “…” I don’t want to be such a good person at all.

Lin Lan added, "By the way, we have received letters from Fan Xiao, Ji Tingshen, and Fu Zhengyuan. We have to reply to them. Let Xiao San Ge write them."

"Mom! I won't dare to do it again!" Sanwang's face changed.

"Hahaha, you deserve it!" Everyone laughed and welcomed the signalman Sanwang to his post.

The next morning, Shen Yu resigned and returned to Shanzui Village.

Han Qingsong has been very busy these days and has not returned from the countryside for three days.

In the morning, Lin Lan went to the Revolutionary Committee's office first to check. As expected, Han Qingsong had not returned yet, so she had to go to her own office.

Lin Lan's propaganda work was well organized and now it was quite easy. Unlike other officials, she was not afraid of being overshadowed by the excellent propaganda workers in the commune below. She worked hard to train the people below and let them take up the work and share it with each other. She only grasped the overall situation. If there was something to be promoted or there was a task from above, she would directly arrange it and let them do it. In this way, she could be relaxed and do other things.

As soon as she entered the publicity office, she saw several staff members discussing the new tasks there.

"Something seems a little off recently. Why are you criticizing Confucius and fighting back against the right-wing reversal of the verdict? Isn't that a thing of the past?"

"Yes, why is that?"

In fact, after the criticism of Lin and Confucius, this trend passed and things returned to normal for a long time. But now, for some reason, there are signs of criticism of Confucius again. Those who are sensitive to political struggles know that the criticism of Confucius is basically aimed at the Prime Minister, and the criticism of Liu and the criticism of the rightists are basically directed at Vice Chairman Deng. It's just that political struggles are too frequent at this time, so everyone just knows what's going on.

When they saw Lin Lan coming, they called out, "Manager Lin, come and take a look."

They showed Lin Lan some articles from People's Daily and Wenhui Daily.

Lin Lan took a look but was too lazy to look at it carefully. These two newspapers were now the knives of the four-member group, and they were only killing their dissidents. There was nothing difficult to understand.

She said: "This is the central government's propaganda work, we just do our county's work, and the propaganda still needs to be down-to-earth. If we go to the countryside and shout slogans, criticizing this and that, the people will not be enthusiastic."

It is no longer like the beginning of the Cultural Revolution when farmers, workers and students were all excited. Now everyone has calmed down and is increasingly aware of reality. After all, who can go without food and clothes and just shout slogans all day? No matter how great the ideal is, it cannot fill your stomach.

It is better to promote how to produce more food, earn more money, and live a good life.

Seeing that Lin Lan was not enthusiastic, they stopped talking. Although there were conflicts of interest in the office, these staff members had a good impression of Lin Lan because she never competed with them for the credit. Her promotional points were always very niche, very rustic, and very down-to-earth, all targeting the members below, women and children, and never trying to please the superiors.

For example, Lin Lan is now studying earthquake propaganda, and everyone thinks she has nothing to do. What kind of earthquake is there in the local area? Even if the earthquake in 1969 was severe, the house just moved forward three feet, which was not a big deal. No house collapsed.

There would never be a large-scale earthquake in the area, so there was no need to worry. Therefore, they were not worried that she would compete with them, and they liked to talk to her when there was something.

Lin Lan went to talk to Jiang Chunxia again, and then rode her bicycle to the gem laboratory.

Engineers Li and Wu were talking to the craftsmen, and some of them looked a little angry.

Li Gong said: "Some little rascals have appeared recently. We really need to give them a good beating."

Wu Gong: "That's right. When I came back from the district that day and left the train station, someone took out the food coupons and two yuan from my pocket. Whose hands were so quick? I didn't feel anything at all."

A craftsman said, "I brought two hens home from my father-in-law's house the other day, intending to raise them to lay eggs and provide milk for my child, but someone climbed over the wall and stole them. The two chickens were in good condition, but only two feathers were left. I was so angry that I walked around the street cursing for a long time, but it was no use, so I could only vent my anger on myself."

Lin Lan: "What's going on? Why is the county so chaotic now?"

"Team Leader Lin is here. I don't know why, but since the beginning of this year, I can always see those idle people wandering around. There weren't so many last year."

"Especially at the train station and the farmers' market. Oh, and by the way, there are also more and more thieves in the communes and brigade markets. How come there are so many petty thieves overnight?"

"We need to let the Korean authorities catch them."

Wu Gong: "This life is good, some people are living with ambition, always wanting to gain something for nothing."

When everyone was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat, they stuffed every mouthful they had into their stomachs, and no one thought of stealing. Now that there is a little surplus food, some people are thinking of stealing it and getting something for nothing.

Lin Lan sighed. In fact, it was not just their county. Other counties were even worse. Especially in big cities, there were many immigrants and a mixed crowd. There were all kinds of people. In the 1980s and 1990s, train stations in major cities were simply crime markets, with all kinds of theft, kidnapping and fraud.

Li Gong sighed: "Is it material things that have corrupted people's hearts, or is it that people's hearts are inherently greedy? If this is true, then revolution is still better. At least people don't pick up things on the streets and their doors are open at night."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Engineer Li is going to become a philosopher."

"Team leader, come on, tell me what's going on?"

Lin Lan: "Teachers, please forgive me. I am a semi-illiterate person, so how can I understand so much? Anyway, I know that matter is dead, but the human heart is alive. Human nature is different. Some people are born to be good, while others are destined to be evil."

People are inherently good. Even if thrown into the mud, they can still strive to poke their heads out and bloom into a pure white flower.

He is evil by nature. Even if he is immersed in a honeypot, he can turn the honeypot into a smelly and rotten place.

So what's wrong with money? What's the difference between gold, silver, and diamond mines and coal, copper, and iron mines? They are just stones that have been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years.

Is it good to not pick up lost items on the road and not lock your door at night? Of course it is good, but that is based on the premise that labor is not a necessary means for humans to make a living. If you have nothing at home and rely on cold water to feed yourself, there is nothing to lose and nothing to steal, so it is hard to say whether it is good or not.

They can only condemn and sigh about this social phenomenon for a while, thinking about reporting it to the South Korean authorities to see if they can curb this evil trend.

Lin Lan knew that Han Qingsong also had difficulties. He only had a few people to use, and there were more and more petty thieves who had learned bad habits. They couldn't catch them even if they worked themselves to death. What was even more infuriating was that these petty thieves had to be released after being caught and educated. If they were released, they would commit crimes again. If you broke his hand for such a small matter, it would be troublesome again. What's more, Deputy Director Li had a tight control over the county city. If he didn't allow Han Qingsong to run to the county city to make a living, it would be a slap in his face.

And those people are well-informed and have a keen sense of smell. They know that the county town is a safe haven, so aren't they all hiding here?

Therefore, it was useless to tell Han Qingsong, he was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen. Compared with Deputy Director Li, he was really a busy man.

After lunch, Lin Lan went to the main house in the backyard to rest. She didn't know why she felt a little irritated and couldn't calm down. After dozing off for a while, she suddenly woke up with a start.

She remembered one thing, which was the original plot of the book about Han Qingsong's death.

This novel, based on real people, is more like a half-true and half-false biography. Lin Lan had read it in her previous life, and could only roughly remember the relationship and career of the male and female protagonists, but not the details. After she came in, she took over the memory of her body, and at the same time, she miraculously knew the future of her family.

She had a rough idea of ​​the future plot when she first came here, but she didn't think about it carefully afterwards. After all, it wasn't a good thing. At first, she didn't have much affection for Han Qingsong and the children, but later, the entanglement became deeper and deeper. She had completely integrated into it and no longer considered herself an outsider. She didn't even want to think about those tragic endings.

Especially the death of Han Qingsong in the book, she had never explored it.

She thought that the future had changed since she traveled through time, and that the original plot was just a twisted fan fiction. Anyway, her life was so real that no one could tell her it was fake.

Now this thought suddenly popped up in her mind: How did Han Qingsong die?

It would take her a while to think about it, after all, her emotions resisted her thinking, while her reason forced her to think about it, and it always felt like a struggle.

So I started thinking about it in a half-asleep state.

According to the plot, the beloved Premier Zhou Enlai passed away during the Chinese New Year this year, and the quartet launched various political movements, prohibiting the public from mourning. Under the public outcry, the public spontaneously organized various memorial activities, and naturally many people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

At that time, Da Wang was not educated. He worked in a flour mill in the county town. He was actually abducted by the black society. After several years of observation, they felt that he was extremely talented, trustworthy and worthy of deep training, so they officially let him join. They secretly abducted him to the old leader and let the leader teach him personally, so that he could take over and become the new leader a few years later.

For them, it is very important to have a talented, courageous and ruthless leader. Although several leaders have their own specialties, they are not convinced by each other and no one can be the leader. Without a leader, it will be a mess. In order to keep the strength that has been preserved with great difficulty, they focus on training several promising young people.

Among them, Da Wang is the best, and there is also the granddaughter of the old leader.

Due to the instigation of the secret organization and the inaction of some people, the public security in the county and the communes was in chaos. Han Qingsong led his subordinates to launch a crackdown under pressure.

During the investigation, he discovered that Da Wang had gone astray and demanded that those people be caught in one fell swoop. He led his subordinates to run around everywhere, his colleagues hindered him, and his family became more noisy, which made him exhausted.

Liu Chunfang, Han Jinyu, and Old Lady Han would always find ways to spread rumors that she was not worthy of him, and then make up stories about women who were attracted to Han Qingsong and who wanted to do something. As a result, whenever he was not at home, she would suspect that he was out fooling around with someone. And because he was increasingly unwilling to touch her, she was even more certain that he had another woman outside.

Because he never came home, she went to the police station to make a scene several times. The last time, she grabbed a pretty female colleague and beat her up, insisting that she had seduced him and demanded that she hand her over.

Han Qingsong happened to come back from outside. The female colleague suffered a great humiliation and insisted that he give an explanation. The original owner also threatened him to break up with the vixen or she would take the children to jump into the river. If the old director could not mediate, he would just divorce her. Han Qingsong did not agree, gave the female colleague a gift and apologized, and asked someone to send the original owner back. He left without even taking a rest. At this time, he had not rested for four or five days.

In the end, he never came back.

It was ten days later that the police found his body. He had been stabbed more than a dozen times, the most fatal of which was a slash in the throat.

The author has something to say:

There are many reasons for Han Ju's death in his previous life, one of which is his own character flaws. When the complex situation comes together, trapped inside and outside, even a tough man can't stand it. There are countless talented people in history who were ruined by unrest in their backyards.
