In the end, Old Lady Han and Yu Meizi did not dare to go to the commune to make a noise, and she failed to find Han Qingsong to cry.

Han Qingsong brought people to help pull bricks and tiles. They borrowed two trucks from the slaughterhouse group and one from the commune. Han Qingyun borrowed two from the brigade. A total of about ten people helped to pull bricks and tiles.

He was lucky that when he arrived at the brick factory, there were ready-made bricks and tiles. If he hadn't finished pulling them this time, he didn't know what he would have to wait for the next time.

So they made two more trips and worked until the evening to finish the work. They also helped unload the bricks and tiles on the newly allocated foundation of Han Qingsong's house.

It was already around ten o'clock in the evening when they finished the work. Han Qingsong thanked everyone one by one and told them to ask him for help if they had the energy to do any work.

It's like this in the countryside. If there's any work, everyone does it together, helping each other and doing it quickly without spending any money.

Han Qingyun was still worried: "Third brother, will someone steal it if it's left here?"

Han Qingsong asked, "Who dares to steal?"

Han Qingyun smiled and said, "Yes, unless you want your arms to be written down. I'll talk to the director of public security and have the patrol officers come here more often."

When Han Qingsong returned home, the children were all asleep, but Lin Lan was still waiting for him, sewing a quilt with the light on.

He washed his hands and feet and went into the house. "No need to wait for me this late."

Lin Lan put away her needlework and said, "It's not late." It was only ten o'clock, and the nightlife of many night owls in her previous life had just begun.

She went downstairs and took the food out of the pot and gave it to him.

Han Qingsong was really hungry. Although he ate a few bites in the cafeteria, he got hungry quickly after doing manual labor.

He handed the bag to Lin Lan and went to eat. "The things in it are for you and your girlfriend."

Lin Lan looked at him in surprise. Was he buying her a gift?

She opened her bag and found something red and pink inside. When she took it out, she found that it was actually two scarves.

A big red one, a little smaller, probably belongs to a lady.

The other one is a tender princess pink, which is very pink and is the favorite color of girls.

Lin Lan: ...

A mother of five children of her own, wearing this color at this age?

Is there any problem with Director Han's aesthetics?

She saw that the pink scarf was quite big and long, and it was covered with a layer of gauze, also in a dreamy pink color. The scarf was big enough to wrap around the head or the neck, and the gauze could be taken down and used as decoration.

"It's quite expensive." Lin Lan suppressed her complaints about the princess pink color and asked about the price.

At that time, buying clothes and shoes required money and cloth coupons. Decorative items like scarves and handkerchiefs did not require cloth coupons, but were expensive.

Like this bright red scarf, it is a normal style scarf and the price is reasonable, only one dollar is enough.

Generally, young women or those with daughters in the family buy it. Older people will not consider it because they will be accused of being vain and acting like a coquettish woman.

However, among the country people, almost no one would buy such a dreamy princess pink, whether for their daughters or young women themselves.

The reason is simple: they just don’t match!

Country people have rough skin, which gets tanned in the summer and turned red in the winter. Wearing a light pink scarf is really an eye-catching thing.

It's so expensive, of course they won't buy it. Even if the cadres have some money, their wives won't want it, saying that the color is too young and it's picky, and it's a few cents more expensive for a scarf, what's the reason?

Only a fool would buy it!

Lin Lan glanced at the idiot who was eating. The idiot gave her a gentle look and said, "Try it on and try it on."

Han Qingsong naturally didn't think about the concerns that others had. He only thought about buying scarves for his wife and daughters during the scarf-wearing season.

Although it is a bit expensive, it will definitely look good on my wife.

The salesperson also said that women like this type the most.

Of course, he didn't know why Qiu Dongmei strongly recommended this model. It was because the supply and marketing cooperative had a few pairs that had not been sold, and it was not worth leaving them there to gather dust, so they were sold at a special price as defective products.

It used to cost three yuan a piece, but now it only costs two and a half yuan.

After Han Qingsong bought it, Qiu Dongmei and the others were still gossiping, "I didn't expect the new director of the Public Security Bureau to like this."

"I don't know what my wife is like, to be able to wear such a color, haha."

Although Lin Lan had brought her household registration booklet to buy things, no one except the old president paid much attention to it, so naturally there was no connection between the two.

In their view, a country woman working in the fields, tanned by the sun, wearing such a light pink scarf, would look like a donkey's dung covered in frost.

In fact, Lin Lan has fair skin. Although the original owner did not take good care of it and her skin was a little rough before, Lin Lan has habitually taken care of it after wearing it, and now her skin has become fair and soft again.

To be considered a village beauty, one must not only be pretty but also young, with a good appearance and a good figure gifted by God.

Otherwise, Han Qingping would not have uttered such a sad and angry voice, and now he is happier than his own wife who has changed for the better.

However, no woman is satisfied with herself. Although her skin is white and delicate enough compared to other women, it is now simply terrible compared to the skin she had well maintained in her previous life.

Lin Lan had no confidence at all, and even thought that since she was already in the countryside, she didn't want to think about all those things.

At this moment, facing such a pink color, she really felt a little powerless.

However, since it is a gift from my husband, I still have to show that I am happy about it, lest I chill his feelings and dampen his enthusiasm so that he won’t give me gifts again in the future.

She gathered around and smiled at Han Qingsong, "Good...looking."

Han Qingsong's eyes were full of surprise and he nodded without hesitation, "It looks good!"

Lin Lan: "I'd rather give her a wheat spike. The little girl looks good in any color."

Han Qingsong: "Doesn't she have a red one?"

The children are all dressed in red and green for celebration.

Lin Lan asked again: "Do you have another color? One that's not so eye-catching, can you change it?"

Han Qingsong recalled the salesperson kindly telling him that he could exchange it. He shook his head and said, "The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't accept returns or exchanges."

This one looks the best, no need to change it.

Lin Lan thought that it was dusty and windy at home, and such a light and tender color would be dirty in a short time, so she decided to put it away and wait.

Han Qingsong said: "Then buy another pair to wear at home."

Lin Lan: ...Can you be more realistic? Our family will become poor again after building a house.

Lin Lan wondered if she had given him too much pocket money, because on the first day he had only two yuan in his pocket, which he used to buy meat and also paid for food in advance.

So she gave him some extra money this morning so that he could pay back his food and oil bills, and also have some pocket money and money for food.

How could I have known that he might be the kind of person who cannot carry money in his pocket, and would bite his hand if he had money, so he had to spend it, and ended up buying such an eye-catching and impractical scarf.

She said tactfully: "It will cost a lot of money to build a house. Bricks and tiles cost thousands of yuan, and there are other materials. We need to hire carpenters and bricklayers, buy food and meals, and the children are all in school. I'm afraid..."

"It's okay. I'll pay you monthly from now on." Han Qingsong was not worried.

Lin Lan thought about it and decided to give it up. Housing is the biggest expense, and with a brick and tile house she won't have to worry about it for the next ten years.

But when Lin Lan thought about her four sons getting married and having to build houses for them, she felt terrible.

I can't be satisfied, I still have to find a way to make money!

Fortunately, by the time my children grew up, the Cultural Revolution was over, the citizens' communes were disbanded, and reform and opening up began.

Well, there's still time.

Lin Lan felt that her future was bright, but the tender pink scarf was buried at the bottom of the box and she didn't know when it would see the light of day again.

The next day, Han Qingsong rode his bicycle to the commune and met Luo Haicheng. After seeing that there was nothing to do, he went to a nearby commune to collect wood.

If you want to build a house, you can't just collect the wood yourself, you still have to go out and buy it.

One advantage of buying things from rural members is that you don't need tickets.

When he came back in the afternoon, Sun Zhuowen realized that he had foolishly gone out to collect materials by himself, and he didn't know what to say.

How can there be such a stupid director?

The key point is that such a stupid person actually got himself into trouble. It's really a spit of blood.

Sun Zhuowen couldn't help but flatter in a roundabout way, hinting that Han Qingsong didn't need to look for it himself, as long as he spread the word, someone would come to his door soon, and he could still pay for it then, and it wouldn't be against the rules at all.

Is buying wood from the commune public security bureau the same as collecting it on your own by riding a bicycle?

How can you be so stupid?

Han Qingsong, however, acted as if he didn't understand and didn't appreciate it.

A few days later, he went to several communes and collected all the wood. He also bought several rolls of cloth and a few pounds of cotton for Lin Lan.

Of course, the money was not less, at least half more than if I had just sat in the police station and had someone deliver it to my door.

If they deliver it to your door, even if you have to pay for it, it will be a little lower than the market price.

If you buy it yourself, even if the other party doesn't want the ticket, the market price will be higher plus the discount on the ticket.

Han Qingsong wanted to start construction as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to wait until after the autumn harvest, which would be around October, to build the house.

The weather turns cold in October, and the mud becomes cold and hard, which will affect the backfill.

Although it is cool now, it is still very hot at noon. Overall, the temperature is suitable.

After preparing the materials, I started looking for people.

Han Qingsong invited Carpenter Wang from Wanghetun to help him. In addition to building the house, he also wanted him to help with furniture. Carpenter Wang participated in the construction of the house and had a good idea of ​​the size of the house, so he could build the furniture accordingly. Because there were too many furniture, he did not take the wood back, so he worked on the spot.

The bricklayer is from our village and the craft is passed down from generation to generation. With him leading others to help, there will be no problem.

The other helpers were villagers. This was also a custom. Whenever someone was building a house, the team leader would organize young and strong people with good skills and who would not be lazy to help.

Lin Lan suggested to Han Qingsong that when he was looking for people, whether they were from his own family or from other families, he should look for those whose families had also applied to build a house. This way, if they were willing to come, he could go back and help them to repay the favor.

This will save money and food.

As for others who just want to get close to you, forget about them. They won’t achieve their goal and are likely to gossip.

Han Qingsong readily followed her advice and did as she said.

Before the peak of autumn harvest, Lin Lan's family started laying the foundation for their new house.

Da Wang was watching his family build a house, so he wondered if he could go to school to help. Lin Lan didn't give him the chance to skip school, "Go to school as usual, and come home to help after school." Not to mention suspending school, your father didn't even relax the morning exercises, what are you thinking, kid?

There are enough people on hand, and everything is done in an orderly manner. There will definitely not be a shortage of supplies here or someone waiting there, so progress is very fast.

Because they are all helping each other, there is no need to provide meals for now. She only needs to provide meals for a few male laborers on the day of the roof raising, so Lin Lan can also relax a little.

She also exchanged all the meal tickets that Han Qingsong brought back for coarse grains, which could be used to make mixed dough balls and steamed buns, which would be enough to make up for the shortfall.

In addition, there were people in the village who provided support. When the autumn grain was distributed in a while, those who had some surplus in their families would lend it to her first and she would pay it back later.

Lin Lan took a notebook and wrote down the numbers one by one so as not to get them mixed up.

But after careful calculation, food in the family is still a little tight.

Not to mention the helpers, the children also worked hard from morning exercises to school and helped build the house. They all had big appetites, and Lin Lan was a little overwhelmed. She also racked her brains to think of ways to make more and more food to fill the children's stomachs as much as possible, so as not to hurt them and delay their growth.

The children have grown a lot since she traveled through time.

Seeing that the children were growing taller, she felt that her efforts were worth it, and it was not a waste if they ate. Fortunately, she had Han Qingsong's food coupons to supplement her, otherwise she would have been hungry long ago.

At noon that day, the children all went to school. Lin Lan was washing up at home when she saw Han Qingsong coming back from outside with his bare chest.

Years of exercise have given him a perfectly proportioned body, with solid and well-proportioned muscles and smooth and graceful lines, yet not too muscular.

The typical type who looks thin when dressed and has flesh when undressed is the type Lin Lan likes.

She couldn't help but take a few more glances. When she met Han Qingsong's eyes, her cheeks slightly heated up. She quickly looked away and said, "Bring the clothes over to me and I'll wash them."

Han Qingsong: "It's not dirty."

He took his clothes off for fear that they would be worn out by work, and when he carried things he would put on the gun butt he brought back as shoulder pads, which was quite suitable.

He felt tingling all over, so he bent over and pressed on the stone and asked Lin Lan to help rinse his back with water.

Lin Lan found that there was a scratch on his back with blood spots oozing out.

The old injuries on his body were distressing enough, and now they were worn out again from building the house. Lin Lan couldn't help but feel distressed.

"You'd better put on your clothes and mend them if they get torn." She carefully avoided his scuffed areas and wiped them gently with a towel.

She moved gently, because her hands were cool from washing clothes, but his body was incredibly hot, and the touch of hot and cold made him itchy.

"It's okay. It's just a minor injury. It will heal in two days." Han Qingsong motioned for her to use more force.

After Lin Lan wiped him, he still said it was tingling and asked her to scratch him.

Lin Lan had no choice but to give him two pushes.

"Use a little more force." Han Qingsong felt even more itchy because of her and couldn't help but shrugged.

Lin Lan felt the muscles under her hand rubbing against her palm, which was hot. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it out of curiosity.

No wonder people say that his body is like steel. When the muscles are trained to a certain level, they really contain tremendous power and are as hard as stone.

Han Qingsong didn't feel her taking a shower anymore. Instead, he stood up immediately as his back felt itchy. However, Lin Lan was bending over behind him and was knocked over by him when she stood up suddenly.

"Ouch——" Lin Lan screamed and fell backwards. In a split second, she was still thinking that there was indeed a price to pay for taking advantage of someone.

The expected impact did not come.

His strong arms immediately grasped her slender waist and pulled her back with force. His big hands slid along her shoulders and grasped the back of her head, locking her safely in his hot and strong embrace.

Lin Lan's face was seamlessly pressed against Han Qingsong's chest, and the sound of his strong heartbeat was in her ears.

He held her so tightly that she felt a little breathless.

"Ha... I almost... fell." Lin Lan was a little embarrassed and struggled a bit, but he held her even tighter, especially the force on his waist was more domineering, pressing her tightly against him.

Almost instantly, she felt his response, which was frighteningly hard.

Lin Lan:……!!

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, making Lin Lan wonder if she could not bear it. For some reason, her heartbeat was also getting faster and faster, her cheeks were burning, and even her ears and neck were hot.

No one spoke for a while. She was held tightly and couldn't move. She was afraid that if she abstained from sex for a long time, he would lose control and carry her into the house in broad daylight.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her heavily on the neck, and said in a low voice: "I'll go put on some clothes."

As soon as he left, the hot body left and the midday breeze seemed chilly.

Lin Lan couldn't help but shiver and touched her neck subconsciously. Oh my god, this is a kiss, it hurts her so much.

She had long noticed that Han Qingsong was exceptionally strong. Sometimes when she asked him to break a piece of biscuit for her, it would accidentally break into several pieces. The children thought he was angry and would immediately shut up and eat without making any more noise.

When he hugged her just now, if you didn't know, you would think he was catching a criminal. His waist was almost broken.

"Lan!" A man's voice came from outside calling her.

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment. No wonder he let her go. It turned out that he heard some noise.

She responded and went out, and saw Brother Lin standing at the door carrying a bag of food. His face was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Lin Lan quickly went up to answer: "Brother, why are you here?"

Brother Lin said, "The Mei family said that you guys are building a house, and we thought you didn't have enough food, so we put together a bag and will treat you to an emergency when the time comes."

When Lin Mei was in a hurry, she would take a stroll to the Public Security Bureau to find Han Qingsong to pass a message to Lin Lan, and also to show off that she knew the director of the Public Security Bureau and let those who were catching speculators stay away from her.

Lin Lan was touched. Food was in short supply at home. "Brother, that's not necessary. You guys don't have enough food either."

"It's time for the autumn harvest." Brother Lin didn't let her take over. He carried the load to the yard and saw someone in the house. "Qingsong is at home."

Han Qingsong quickly put on his shirt, adjusted his pants, tied his belt, and greeted everyone in the room, "Big Brother."

Brother Lin wondered why he came to deliver food but his brother-in-law didn't come to greet him and was hiding in the house?

Such a big deal?

Being a director is different.

Han Qingsong strode out, spoke to Brother Lin, and invited him to sit inside.

Lin Lan glanced at him secretly. The pride in her heart had not completely subsided yet. Fortunately, she put on her coat to block it. She thought that she would recover soon when facing Brother Lin.

She couldn't help blushing.

Han Qingsong glanced at her, and felt that the heat that had just been suppressed was about to burst out again, so he quickly pulled Brother Lin and said, "Brother, let's go to the new house and take a look, and make a decision."

Brother Lin was now happy, and waved his hands, saying, "I don't understand either. How can I make a decision? Let's go and take a look."

After they left, Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She actually felt her hands and feet a little weak. She rubbed her face quickly and continued to wash clothes.

After Brother Lin came to see her, he, Old Man Lin, and Lin Mei’s husband came to help the next day.

I came in the morning, had lunch, and went home in the evening. I worked like this for three days.

Because we had enough manpower and they were all strong, we spent three days clearing the site, laying out the lines, digging the soil, tamping the foundation, mixing the mud, mixing the bricks, building the walls, etc. The work was done in a seamless manner and basically no time was wasted.

There was a two-day break during which the women helped to tie up the sorghum stalks. The work would be almost done in two more days.

August is a cool and crisp month with a cool breeze. Corn, peanuts and other crops are ripening one after another, and the production teams begin to mobilize for the autumn harvest.

Lin Lan's house is also nearing completion, waiting for the beams to be put up.

You can't be impatient about putting up the beams, you have to check the date.

In the past few years, the four olds were destroyed and feudal superstition was not allowed. Everyone just followed the day that came to their turn.

But now it is not so strict, and the members began to discuss it.

Old Lin was extremely concerned. He went back to his village and asked someone to secretly check the date. He specifically asked Brother Lin to come and tell Lin Lan.

How could Lin Lan, a modern soul, care about this? "Brother, today is the best day to do it. Let's put up the roof and move in as soon as possible."

"Is that something that can be taken lightly? Our father said that if you don't know, forget it, but if you know, you must obey. You are right to listen to our father. Don't you remember when we were young, Panpan's second father's family was building a house, and he checked the date but didn't listen, so his father fell from the beam and broke his waist. He is still paralyzed on the kang now."

Lin Lan: "Is it really that serious?"

Things that are not related at first will become knotted up when the big brother talks about it. If you don't listen, it will be fine, but once something happens, everyone will live without listening.

She could only say, "Okay."

She asked Brother Lin to talk to Han Qingsong, but Brother Lin refused, "You talk to his brother-in-law."

Who knows whether Director Han believes this or not? If he doesn't believe it and then continues to be stubborn, it will be so embarrassing. It's better for the couple to keep it to themselves.

In the evening, when the construction work was over, Lin Lan prepared dinner and went to call Han Qingsong and the children to eat.

After dinner, the children ran to their new home with their radios, saying they were going to keep an eye on the house to prevent anyone from stealing their tiles.

As soon as the children left, the originally bustling house suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Han Qingsong eating.

He handed the bowl to her and gestured for her to pour him a glass of water.

The water pitcher is next to Lin Lan.

When Lin Lan took the bowl, she touched his hand and quickly took it over. She was a little afraid of Han Qingsong these two days and almost didn't dare to be alone with him. She always felt that the look in his eyes when he looked at her was aggressive and very oppressive.

Especially at night when the children were asleep and he hadn't gotten into bed yet, for a moment she felt he would force his way into her quilt.

Fortunately, he didn't. Of course, it might be that she was just overthinking it.

When she couldn't sleep, she even searched for memories of their married life, but unfortunately there was nothing good to draw on from the few times they had spent together.

For example, when we got married, it took no more than five days from the blind date to the wedding. We only met once at the wedding ceremony, and then we slept together at night.

They were both young at that time, she was immature and he was reckless, so there was no such thing as happiness. If we talk about memories, it's only pain, pain, pain, great fear, fear, fear.

Just two nights later, he returned to the army, and she was still pregnant.

When we met later, it was still not a good experience. He came and went in a hurry, either staying for one night or for just three to five days.

During the day, with so many people in the family, the two of them don't have much time to talk to each other.

She was looking forward to it but also nervous and afraid. Her relationship pattern was similar to that of other men and women. She was very reserved and conservative when it came to love. Although she liked him as a person, she was somewhat disgusted and avoided doing that kind of thing.

It is only after the children fall asleep in the middle of the night that they have a busy and chaotic sex life.

She was nervous and couldn't let go, and he had been holding it in for too long. It was scary to think about it. Not only would they not have a good experience, but it would also leave a deep shadow on both of them.

This pattern was repeated several times, and later on there was even less communication. Although he tried to guide her after he matured, she was more afraid and resistant because it was too big. She did it only to fulfill her duty to her husband, and the process was still not pleasant.

This means that it would be boring for a woman to resist a man.

But what’s funny is that I don’t know if it’s because she gets pregnant too easily or he’s too capable, but every time they come into close combat, she gets pregnant.

Now Lin Lan is feeling nervous and stressed, and is afraid that sexual life is really that horrible.

There's no way, the shadow is too big.

She put the bowl of water on the table and sat there, lowering her head and drinking water in small sips, refusing to make eye contact with him.

Seeing her with her brows lowered and a quiet look on her face, Han Qingsong couldn't help but take a closer look and wanted to reach out and touch her face.

Just as he was about to reach out his hand, Lin Lan looked up and asked him, "When will the beams be put up?"

She suddenly raised her head like this, and Han Qingsong didn't know why, but he felt like he was caught doing something bad, and immediately picked up the bowl to drink water.

Then he said calmly, "The day after tomorrow."

Lin Lan hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't you want to check the date?"

Han Qingsong: "There is nothing to check. It is better to do it today than to wait for a day."

Lin Lan: “That…”

Han Qingsong: "Have you asked someone to check the date?"

Lin Lan was afraid that he would blame her for being superstitious, so she immediately shook her head and said, "No, no. Where can I find someone? I don't even know him."

Han Qingsong said: "If we don't check, we'll take it as it comes."

"Dad and big brother helped us check it out." Lin Lan said quickly.

This fight against feudal superstition is being discussed from the commune to the village. He is from the Public Security Bureau. Would he think that they are holding him back?

Han Qingsong knew that he was talking about his father-in-law and eldest uncle, so he asked, "Which day?"

Lin Lan whispered, "August 10th." She felt a little guilty.

The tenth day of August is the busy time for autumn harvest.

Han Qingsong seemed a little embarrassed.

Lin Lan immediately said, "It doesn't matter whether we check the date or not. We just say that. If you don't believe it, then when people move in and have a headache or fever, they can say that we didn't check the date when we put up the beams."

It's like when she got married, because she didn't use the woman's lucky month, the old lady complained all her life and blamed her for all the headaches. Now that the fourth son has been arrested, it's even more her fault.

"Then we'll do it according to the date." Han Qingsong said, "We won't need your help tomorrow. We'll find a few people to put up the beams on the tenth day."

"The autumn harvest..."

"Don't worry about that. Just find someone to help put up the beams and purlins at noon, and then lay the rafters. You can do the rest yourself."

In addition to him, there were also hired carpenters and bricklayers.

The wages he offered were higher than the work points they earned from working, so they were naturally happy to come.

It’s settled.

Lin Lan was still quite happy. Although Han Qingsong looked old-fashioned and serious, he was not overbearing and unreasonable. He was willing to let her express her opinions when there were problems at home.

But he hasn't formed the habit of discussing problems with her proactively. He is probably influenced by the men in the village, who think that men are the breadwinners and can handle problems on their own.

To put it nicely, it means not letting women worry; to put it bluntly, it means thinking women have no say in matters of concern.

After all, there was progress, and she was happy. Otherwise, it would be terrible if Han Qingsong was like Han Da Ge or other men, who showed off their masculinity by not gossiping with their women.

Since there were no beams to be put up, the construction site was suspended, and the autumn harvest for the production team also began.

First, the brigade held a mobilization meeting to encourage all members to participate in the autumn harvest.

"Don't think you are working for the production team, you are working for yourself! Autumn harvest is harvesting food and lives! If it rains continuously and the harvest is not complete, the food will rot in the fields and we will all go hungry. Everyone has a role to play, so take the initiative to join the labor, don't wait for the team leader to rush you, it's embarrassing!"

Han Yongfang shouted a few times with a metal loudspeaker, and then the team leader gave a speech. After that, the production team leaders had mobilization and training talks with the members of each team and divided the work.

This second wave of autumn harvest requires concentrated labor to pick corn, cotton, and peanuts. After harvesting these, we have to dig sweet potatoes and dry them. It can be said to be the busiest time of the year.

Naturally, Lin Lan also had to go to work, and she was inevitably exhausted from back pain all day long, and she even had psychological trauma.

Han Qingsong went to work that day, and she hurried the children to school. As soon as Da Wang and San Wang got out of the door, they ran in the other direction.

Lin Lan didn't care about washing dishes and hurried to work. She happened to see the two children and shouted, "Where are you going? Come back here!"

The two children could run away secretly, but if they were seen by Lin Lan, they would not have the courage to ignore their mother's yelling and run away, unless they were not afraid of getting their butts beaten, as their father's cane would be merciless.

The two of them came back, and Da Wang looked unhappy.

Lin Lan: "Why don't you two go to school?"

At that time, the school arranged the time itself. There was no such thing as a break on Saturdays and Sundays. As long as there was no penalty, students had to go to school.

Moreover, it is the busy autumn season now, and the teachers also lead the children to do some activities, so that they can learn through labor without delaying their studies.

Dawang: “I don’t want to go to school!”

"Why don't you want to go to school?"

"I just don't want to go to school, for no reason, just like you don't want to work." Da Wang glanced at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan decided to argue, "Why wouldn't I want to work? I am a working person, I love to work, I..."

"Stop pretending. Why don't you teach the class for me and I'll break the sticks for you." Da Wang used his ultimate move.

Lin Lan was actually very moved.

Da Wang glanced at her, as if to say that she would miss this opportunity and then miss it again. "How is it?"

Lin Lan straightened her back and said, "What's your attitude? You're talking to your mother like that. You're really brave. You bribed the family of the Public Security Bureau chief. You deserve a beating!"

Da Wang rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Seeing that he was well behaved in front of Han Qingsong but acted like a bully in front of her, Lin Lan wanted to show him some power.

She went to get Han Qingsong's cane and asked, "Do you think I don't dare to hit you?"

Da Wang looked as if he was saying, "I'll beat you up, you can beat me as you like." He even took the initiative to move his butt towards her. He was really a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Lin Lan slapped the haystack with the cane and asked, "Are you scared?"

Da Wang has a sticky mouth.

Sanwang smiled, he followed his elder brother's example, if the sky fell, the tall one would hold it up, and his mother would not bear to hit him.

"What are you laughing at? Bandage my teeth. I told you to close your mouth when you sleep. Buck teeth will look ugly if you keep doing it for a long time."

When Sanwang heard this, he immediately closed his mouth and licked his teeth to see if he really had buck teeth.

Lin Lan poked Sanwang with her cane, "Hurry up and go to school. Your brothers and sisters are already there."

Since the first day of school, Dawang has been carrying the schoolbag, and after school until now, it has been Erwang's turn.

Sanwang immediately ran away, leaving his elder brother behind to share the hardship.

Da Wang sneered, "You coward!"

Lin Lan tried to hit her leg with the cane. Although she didn't use much force, the thin cane still hurt.

Da Wang didn't move his brows, and seemed to be determined to skip school while his father was not at home.

"Hurry up and go to school. If you want to work, follow the teacher." She went to audit Han Qingping's lectures. He did not interfere even when working. He would recite lessons while working and would also review how to write characters. She thought it was great.

Erwang and Maisui learned well. Although Sanwang was naughty and couldn't sit still, he could learn to sing, but he could only write a few words.

It goes in one ear and out the other. When learning pinyin, he spends a long time studying it and can pronounce it well, but when asked to write it down, he writes it randomly and when asked to pronounce it, he pronounces it randomly.

Or maybe b knows how to spell, but ba can't. He may be fine when you are teaching him, but he will change in the blink of an eye.

It can simply bring a dead person back to life.

After hearing Han Qingping's complaints, Lin Lan wanted to help the child with his homework, but then she thought that she would be exposed.

She now deeply understands what her best friends said back then: tutoring a child with homework is as close to having a heart attack as it gets, or having to have a heart stent placed. She thought it was exaggerated then, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all!

I think she faced reality in her previous life and didn't want to have children to lower her living standards, but now, she has become someone's cheap mother.

Still can’t escape tutoring!

The key point is that she didn't dare to do it openly, as it was not right for her to do so. She could only follow Erwang and Mai Sui secretly to train Sanwang and Dawang.

Da Wang is even more of a stone!

Sanwang could read but could not recognize, while Dawang neither read nor looked at books. The teacher was talking with spit flying all over the place, but he turned a deaf ear and a blind eye.

It was simply... Lin Lan felt like her hair was turning white from anger.

Da Wang didn't move.

"Why don't you want to go to school?" Lin Lan didn't understand.

Da Wang: "No reason, I just don't want to go."

Lin Lan was helpless. This child just didn't like studying and refused to explain why.

Anyway, since the first day of school, he has been skipping classes every other day. She was afraid that Han Qingsong would beat her severely, so she covered it up for him several times.

"You said you don't want to go to school. What do you want to do? Do you want to farm at home for the rest of your life?" Lin Lan gritted her teeth.

Da Wang glanced at her and said calmly, "What's the point of going to school? Don't you still have to go home to farm? All the city people go to the countryside. That's what you said."

Lin Lan: How come you only remember these few sentences? Why can’t you remember so many nice words?

"Who said it's useless? Aren't universities starting to recruit students now? I heard that there will be workers, peasants and soldiers as university students in the future!"

Da Wang doesn't believe it. You are just making it up. You must have heard a little bit of information from Director Han and are just showing off.

Lin Lan: "Go to school. The teacher is leading the autumn harvest these days so there are no classes. You don't have to sit there and scratch your head and feel uncomfortable."

Dawang: "The one who is scratching his ears and rubbing his cheeks is Sanwang."

"Hurry up, stop talking back to me!" Lin Lan whipped him with the small cane.

Da Wang ran away and naturally refused to go to school.

He had just reached the bank of the West River and was about to meet Zhuzi when he saw Han Qingsong coming back from the western path.

Da Wang was so frightened that he quickly hid behind a haystack nearby.

When Han Qingsong returned home, Xiaowang was playing the flute for Wangwang with all his might, and Lin Lan had already gone to work.

Han Qingsong gave a few instructions and went to find Lin Lan.

At this time, Lin Lan was wrapping her head and neck with a towel and going into the cornfield to pick corn. The leaves had small saw teeth that cut her arms and neck painfully.

She felt uncomfortable while working, wondering what kind of person she was wearing. In her previous life, she avoided doing manual labor and studied hard, and finally made it out. But now, she was thrown back to the countryside.

It's really thorough.

It was hot and stuffy in the cornfield, just like a stew in a pot. She felt like she was going to faint from the heat and wanted to just slack off and not go to work.

But thinking about her words of encouragement to Da Wang, and not wanting to lose her authority, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere.

When she was feeling uncomfortable, she saw a tall figure walking towards her.

She recognized it as Han Qingsong at first glance.

"Why are you here?"

Han Qingsong picked up the corn cobs and tassels that had fallen from her hair and said, "There's nothing to do at the Public Security Bureau. I'll let everyone go back to harvest the crops. I'll take your place at work, and you can take care of the cooking at home."

Lin Lan felt a little embarrassed. The other students were all led by their teachers to work, so how could she be lazy?

Han Qingsong took her basket without saying anything, put his big hands on her shoulders, squeezed them gently, and then pushed her into the dug-out driveway, "Go back. The children want to eat boiled corn for lunch."

The production team would pick up a lot of tender corn every day and give it to the women to take home and cook.

Lin Lan couldn't believe it. Could she really avoid physical labor? "So, I really go back?"

Han Qingsong smiled and said, "Could it be fake?"

Lin Lan was delighted. "Oh, it's holiday time."

She walked out happily.

As soon as she left, Han Qingsong returned to his usual cold and expressionless self, cracking corn skillfully with his hands.

The women nearby heard this and felt jealous. All the men in the village were watching their wives working, so how could any of them let their wives go home to rest?

If you don’t work and don’t earn work points, what will you eat?

The key point is that men rarely get intimate with their women in broad daylight except when they go to sleep with their wives at night, and they must never joke about it in public.

So when they saw Han Qingsong and Lin Lan whispering there, it was especially irritating when Han Qingsong was gently tidying up the fringe on Lin Lan's hair and Lin Lan was making such a cheerful sound.

"You are an old married couple, why are you so clingy? How sour!"

"That's right, he's just like those educated youth, so hypocritical and corny!"

Lin Lan doesn't care what others say, she only cares about her own comfort. She goes home and makes something delicious!

Before she even reached the end of the field, she was stopped by Han Xiaogu.

Sister-in-law Han didn't go to school some time ago to avoid the spotlight. She wanted to go a few days ago but it was already autumn break, so she had to go home.

In fact, the school has already ordered Han Qinghua to drop out, and is also planning to ask Han Jinyu to drop out. They should have graduated anyway, and there is no need for them to stay in school forever.

Now her family no longer has the conditions to allow her to waste time and money in school, so her studies have basically fallen through and she has to go back home to farm.

She was even more unhappy than Lin Lan about breaking the sticks, and she couldn't stand it. Even though she covered her head and face and wore long sleeves, her neck and hands were still scratched, and her whole body was prickly, as if there were bugs crawling on it.

When has Han Jinyu ever suffered such hardship?

She has never worked since she was a child.

Now, she is forced to work every day. If she doesn't want to do it, her elder and younger sisters-in-law will have opinions. She doesn't even want to cook, so the old Korean boss makes her work.

She originally wanted to cook, but now rice and sorghum are enough, so she is of no use at all.

But in fact, she is not as capable as Gu Mi in working in the fields.

Especially when her two sisters-in-law gave her the cold shoulder, she couldn't stand it even more.

Now Han Qinghua has gone to the labor reform farm, and she also has to earn work points. She is not in school anymore, so the family doesn't have to earn work points for them or save money by scrimping and scraping together food. The family was divided, and the five children from Lin Lan's family were separated, so the rest of the Han family is actually living a better life than before.

So Han's eldest and second sisters-in-law were even happier.

The bad ones are old lady Han and sister-in-law Han, because there is no money to spend on them now.

"Help me break the sticks!" said the Korean girl angrily.

Lin Lan rolled her eyes at her and said, "You think you are the Seventh Fairy, but unfortunately I am not Dong Yong." She turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, didn't you hear me?" Aunt Han was very angry when she saw Lin Lan ignoring her.

"I work to earn work points for myself. What does it have to do with you?" Lin Lan snorted.

"Then why don't you work?" Han Xiaogu questioned her, "You want to be lazy and avoid labor! The mobilization meeting has said that no one can avoid labor." Otherwise, she would not be given food, otherwise she would have hidden away long ago.

Lin Lan said proudly: "Your third brother will come back to help me, I will go home and rest."

Aunt Han was so angry that when she saw Lin Lan walking away with brisk steps, she immediately went to find Han Qingsong.

After finally finding Han Qingsong, she pouted and started to cry, "Third Brother——"

Han Qingsong glanced at her and said, "Hmm?"

"Look, my hands are all scratched, my face is scratched, and my whole body is tingling." There is no bathhouse at home, so it is not convenient to take a bath.

Han Qingsong didn't see it either.
