Three days later, the new house was completely repaired and the family packed up their belongings and moved in.

Because we didn’t have iron pots and other household items, we had to come back to eat.

When I came back for lunch at noon, Han's second wife and her family had already happily moved into the east room. "Oh, finally we don't have to squeeze into one room and feel so uncomfortable."

When we were young and newly married, it was simply as awkward as it could be.

Later on, she just let it go. Why embarrass herself and make them embarrassed? In the end, it was Brother Han and his wife who tried their best to hide and wait for them to finish before coming back to sleep.

Anyway, she later found out that Brother Han and his wife had not had sex for a very long time, and she was so proud and secretly happy that she deliberately made some noise to stimulate Sister-in-law Han and feel superior.

Mrs. Han was completely relieved and felt completely relaxed.

While the woman was setting the table, Han Qingsong went to talk to the old lady, "Mom, we still need an iron pot. Why don't we go to the commune to buy one?"

Mrs. Han looked half dead. "Well, go buy it."

Han Qingsong asked the old lady for twenty yuan to buy household items.

"What?" Mrs. Han's eyes widened immediately, "Old Third, do you have a conscience? I raised you, is it easy for you to eat, drink, defecate and urinate?"

Seeing that she was about to start looking through the almanac and talking about getting married and serving the old lady, Han's sister-in-law quickly said, "Mom, we can't cook without a pot after moving."

"Then come back to eat. What are you cooking for? You're asking me for money. Where do I get the money? You don't know when you're not home. Your younger brothers and sisters are still in school, and there are ten children at home who need to eat. Everything costs money. We can barely make ends meet, and you're still asking me for money! Didn't that woman take all the money? Let her use it to buy household items."

She snorted and slammed the door and went into the house.

Han's sister-in-law smiled at Han Qingsong and said, "Mother is angry. I have two dollars here. You can spend it first."

Han Qingsong shook his head and said, "My sister-in-law managed to save this with great difficulty. I will think of another way."

Han's wife: "He is so great, did Da Wang's mother really spend all of it?"

No matter how much I calculate, I can't spend it all, and I just refuse to hand it over.

Based on her understanding of the original owner and his desire for money, once he got the money, he would never give it up.

The most likely possibility is that she took the money back to her parents' home, but she hasn't been back recently, so the money should still be in her hands.

At this time Lin Lan came in from outside, she just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Lan knew that she would need to buy some furniture for the move, but she couldn't take out money because that would be telling others that she had money.

She said that it had all been spent, and that the money had to be spent wisely.

She didn't take it either.

Anyway, it’s nice to come back and have a meal. There’s no need to light a fire all day in the summer. We’ll think about it in the winter.

Who knew that Han Qingsong went to find the old branch secretary and the team leader, and they sent him a pot a few afternoon later. Although it was broken in two places and had been repaired, no one had a complete pot at home now. They all used the same pot for many years, and if it was broken, they would ask the pot repairman to fix it.

In addition to the iron pot, someone also brought them bowls, chopsticks and other household items.

Han Qingsong thanked them one by one.

Lin Lan sighed, this is status.

If you want her, you won't get even a hair.

When Mrs. Han heard that someone had given her a pot, she immediately asked Mrs. Han to exchange the pot at home, because the pot at old Han's house was too old and had more holes in it.

Erwang and Mai Sui pouted and grumbled, "Why is grandma so partial? It's like our family was picked up for nothing."

Han Qingsong heard it and glanced at the pot, but said nothing and went on with his work.

Erwang and Mai Sui went to Lin Lan to complain, "Mom, you said my grandma is so partial, is my dad also partial? Will he give the good things to his mom in the future?" The child kept talking.

Lin Lan clapped in her heart and almost nodded in agreement, but she stopped herself in time.

She felt that she had to work hard to distinguish so as not to be led astray by Erwang. After all, children's values ​​are influenced by adults. In his previous life, Erwang grew up to be a smooth-talking, calculating, and self-employed person. It must be said that this was caused by the environment.

She complained in her heart but said, "Erwang, although she did some things wrong, your father is her son. Can he let others accuse him of being unfilial for a pot?"

"What should we do? She will come to ask for good things from us in the future." Erwang was angry. "Even if she asks for them, she will give them to my aunt and uncle."

Lin Lan thought the same thing and felt that the old lady should be taught a lesson, but she couldn't say that to the child.

After all, I am a mother and will be a mother-in-law in the future. There are some things I can tell my daughter but cannot tell my son. This is how I treat them differently.

Who is not selfish?

Old Mrs. Han is thinking about herself, so of course she should also think about herself. Everyone is a double-standard person.

You can't talk to your children in an angry mood. After all, adults are role models for children. If you say that it is wrong for dad to listen to grandma and it is wrong to be filial to grandma, then in the future will the child also think that I don't need to be nice to mom?

Lin Lan doesn't want this to happen!

Of course, blind filial piety is wrong, and she has to let her child know that.

She smiled and said, "Of course not! Children should be filial to their elders, and first of all, the elders must be kind. If the elders are not kind, the younger generation has no obligation to be filial. We respect the old and love the young. We love the elders who love the younger generation and the elders with integrity. If the elderly are too bad, then we will not be polite! Don't worry, mother has a way to deal with her."

She has to support the children and be confident about everything!

The two children saw that she looked mysterious and profound, and they were impressed by her because she actually looked like a master.

Lin Lan fooled the child, so she had to think about this problem. When that day really comes, how should she deal with the old lady? She had to prepare for a rainy day.

After watching so many movies about house fighting and palace fighting, is it possible that they were all in vain?

In the end, the two children had to conclude: "It's a good thing that my father changed his job. If he didn't give us the money, they wouldn't be able to get it either!"

"Don't worry about it. We'll find a way to make money in the future." Lin Lan encouraged the children, "The key is that you have to be promising and follow the right path. Don't think of anything crooked."

The two children laughed and said, "Mom, what kind of evil ways are there? We don't have any of that."

You have none now, but you will have plenty in the future.

"Anyway, once the family is divided, Mom will have the final say, so you two can go to school."

In these days, school starts late. Many children in the countryside go to school at the age of nine or ten. They can't do manual labor anyway, so they can do lawn mowing before or after school. Children under the age of eight need someone to look after them, and they can't sit still at school, so they just run errands for adults at home.

Erwang immediately said, "I don't go to school. My elder brother doesn't go to school either."

Mai Sui also said, "Mom, didn't you say that we don't go to school, and those who go to school are crazy? Why are you still asking us to go to school? I won't go."

When my aunt and uncle went to school, my mother often scolded them for being crazy for going to school, but she didn't want to be a crazy person.

As long as she has enough money to buy new clothes and leather shoes so that she can find a job in the city, she won't envy me for going to school.

Lin Lan: We still need to slowly brainwash the children and change their previous misconceptions.

When we went to bed at night, there were disagreements on the location allocation.

According to the rules, parents should sleep with the youngest child on this side, and the older children should sleep on the other side.

But Mai Sui is a girl, and Lin Lan thinks that since she is nine years old, she should sleep on a separate kang, and it is not right for her to always sleep with her brothers.

But sleeping with Han Qingsong is not an option either.

What's more, she had great psychological barriers when she was suddenly asked to sleep with a man.

Although he is handsome and has a good figure, which is her type, she still cannot accept him without an emotional foundation.

So, she decisively let Han Qingsong fall asleep.

She took Mai Sui and Xiao Wang to sleep on one side, and let their grandfather sleep on the other side.

Anyway, that place is big, and we can hang a curtain there and divide it later.

Han Qingsong: “…”

Is this still the wife who used to want to tie him to her belt?

It must have been replaced!

He stood in front of the kang and took a look, then drank a bowl of water. "Hang a curtain over there so that the girls and boys can sleep separately."

Lin Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's a shame for you to sleep with those boys. I asked them to wash their feet, so they don't stink."

Especially the Sanwang, which is soaked in water all day long and becomes swollen, but it doesn’t stink.

It's Dawang, the bad boy, who is not even at home, and is getting together with Zhuzi.

Since Zhuzi became his younger brother, he has been obedient to his orders.

Han Qingsong saw that Lin Lan was on high alert and it didn't seem fake. It was obvious that she didn't want to sleep with him.

This... is a bit hurtful to my pride. I don't know who wanted to stab him in the face before.

If word got out that old men were allowed to sleep with boys instead of their own women, I guess everyone in the village would be laughing and whispering about it.

Other men can't stand this anyway.

Lin Lan was also afraid that Han Qingsong would use force, so she couldn't help but feel nervous. It wasn't that she was afraid of what he would do, because he wouldn't do anything in front of the children.

But...sometimes men can do anything for their self-esteem, so she dare not relax.

After all, he has been abstinent for too long, so he will have a stronger desire? He has not been home for such a long time, will he be very pent up and will he force himself?

Just when she was feeling uneasy, Han Qingsong walked to the other side and quietly went to sleep on the kang.

Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Han Qingsong didn't snore, so Lin Lan slept more soundly. It was not like when she was at Old Han's house, where there was deafening snoring in every room. She didn't fall asleep at all on the first day after she came here, and she dozed off at dawn on the second day. It took her several days to adapt.

On the first night after the separation, Lin Lan slept well.

For several days, Han Qingsong got up early to go for a run and then cleaned the house. He also built a thatched hut and a chicken coop, built the courtyard wall, and plowed the soil in the yard in front of and behind the house so that he could grow vegetables and trees.

When everything was almost ready, Lin Lan asked Mrs. Han to get two chickens from home to raise.

At that time, there was still a quota of one chicken for every two people. Han's family had many people, so they raised many chickens.

According to the population, Lin Lan's family can raise three and a half, and given Han Qingsong's special status, raising four is no problem.

Generally, there is not enough food at home, so at most we would raise two or three chickens to exchange eggs for money to buy oil and salt or to improve our lives. We would not raise many.

Lin Lan thought it would be fine to keep two for the time being, as the old lady probably wouldn't be willing to give away more than that.

How could I have known that the two old ladies wouldn't give it to me.

Mrs. Han was talking to her in a very gloomy tone now. In the past, the original owner was always irritable, which made the old lady look calm and composed, especially like a mother-in-law. But now that Lin Lan was calm, the old lady seemed unbearable.

"I'm telling you, Mr. San, I never thought you were this kind of person. Are you playing tricks on me? I eat more salt than you eat noodles."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Old lady, you really shouldn't be afraid of choking. Be careful about high blood pressure."

"You have money, don't you? Have you given it all to your parents?" Not seeing her go back to her parents' home, the old lady was still unwilling to give up and kept asking her.

Lin Lan smiled but said nothing.

If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. You can catch it yourself slowly in the future.

Anyway, there is no food now, and I can't feed it casually, otherwise it will starve to death in winter.

But the next day, Han Qingsong asked for two little ducks from someone else's house. They were so fluffy and very cute.

Xiaowang and the other children like it very much.

"Mom, ducklings are good. When they grow up, they can go to the river to find fish and shrimp to eat. They eat less food than chickens."

"Yes, ducks are easy to keep alive and not easy to kill."

It is normal for half of ten chicks to die.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Then remember to dig some tender leafy vegetables for them to eat in the future."

Xiao Wang raised his hand and said, "I will let the ducks eat grass and insects, and lay eggs for mother to eat."

Sanwang smiled and said, "Someone has to release them, otherwise they will run away with other ducks. You also have to be careful that they don't lay their eggs outside."

He had seen a lot of things like this. People raised one or two ducks at home, but when they went out, they were fooled away by other people's female ducks. How stupid that could be.

When Xiaowang heard this, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He immediately chased the two little ducks to teach them a lesson with love, "Big duck, little duck, I sing while you lay eggs." Then he began to sing "Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of ducks swam by..."

Erwang said, "Mom, where did you learn this song?"

Lin Lan denied it. "How would I remember it? I don't know who sang it."

Over there, Wheat Ear is calculating how many cents a duck egg is worth and how much he can get from it to buy a pair of leather shoes.

Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh when she saw her longing look on her face. She turned her head and met Han Qingsong's gaze.

He was using branches to circle a duckling so that when the duckling came back it could move around inside instead of running all over the floor.

When he looked over, his eyes were complicated and somewhat puzzled, and Lin Lan couldn't tell what the emotion was.

She thought that she was still in a cold war with him, so she turned her head away coldly.

Han Qingsong: …
