The Big JJ incident was not like previous privacy exposure incidents where there was laughter on the spot, the person involved was embarrassed and blushed, and everyone talked and laughed and then moved on.

It escalated into a competition of fathers, causing many old men in the village to beat their children at home. The women then complained in various ways, first by beating the children and then by saying angry words directly: "You are not as good as others, so why take it out on the children?"

As a result, when she goes out and meets people, she has an expression that says "you know what I mean even if I don't tell you". She either smiles with a meaningful tone or pouts like a century-old pickled cabbage farmer.

Lin Lan appeared calm on the surface, pretending that nothing had happened, but in his heart he had already turned on the automatic machine gun and started firing indiscriminately.

She secretly interviewed the Wangwangs one by one. Da Wang would not say anything, and Er Wang would not say anything either. Only San Wang was honest and was caught by Lin Lan for interrogation.

Upon asking, it turned out that in school, after class, the students would go to the bathroom together, run to the wall outside the school, line up in a row, and compete to see who could poop the farthest.

The winner can be very proud, and the last place winner will be laughed at and called a loser.

The child couldn't stand the blow, so he started bragging about how great his father was, or how great his grandfather was, and he just couldn't lose to his friends.

It was originally a comparison game among peers. He broke the rules and dragged out his own father. Naturally, the other children did not want to be left behind. Sanwang was particularly exaggerated. He insisted that all their fathers combined were not as big as his own.

At first, no one believed it and laughed at him for bragging. But after the incident of Yu Mole stealing peanuts with a big bag, the kids all believed it.

At this moment, no one could compete with Sanwang. He would raise his chin to the sky all day long. Other children would inevitably go home and complain that their fathers were not ambitious enough and had not grown up.

No matter how poor men are outside, they are still the heads of the family when they return home and they are local tyrants in front of their wives and children. How could they tolerate such humiliation?

They don't have the courage to challenge Han Qingsong, so they take their anger out on the children, beating them up first and then telling them to stop talking nonsense.

Naturally, the mother was not happy either.

Those who did not have children involved and were not punished in public were also more willing to join in. They would tease those children with loud mouths, "When your parents sleep at night, who is on top?" "Your mother has honey on her lips, but your father always eats it secretly. Did you see that?" "Is your mother's butt white? Is her breast big..."

Such obscene and vulgar words.

Sensible children would spit at them, call them hooligans, and tell the security director.

Children who are not sensible will be tricked by them, and even if others coax them by saying they will give them candies, make a little rabbit out of straw, or catch a bird, the children will forget all the things going on at home.

In families where several people were squeezed onto one Kang (a bed), some were even covered with one quilt. They went to bed early at night, so the couple's secret affairs could not be hidden from all the children.

Therefore, this seems to be the biggest source of entertainment for many flirtatious men and women in the village.

Lin Lan was not afraid. After all, she and Han Qingsong had never slept in the same bed. Even the few times they had done so before were always in the middle of the night, and the child was too young to have much of an impression.

And Dawang would definitely not tell anyone about this, Erwang was smart and would not take any loss, but Sanwang liked to mix things up. Fortunately, this kid only said "Dad", and it was to crush others, and he would not involve her, and there was nothing unspeakable.

Especially after being taught and educated by her, Sanwang became much more restrained.

Even so, Lin Lan was still a little worried.

After all, she has received modern education and believes that this is a social phenomenon that can easily lead to problems if not properly guided.

For example, why seduction and rape are more likely to happen in rural areas is because of the low cultural quality.

Some things are not popularized, and members are curious but afraid. Some men cannot control themselves, and some women cannot protect themselves, which makes it easy for tragedies to happen.

Since it is impossible to popularize culture in a short period of time, it should be possible to popularize physical hygiene, right?

The men were taken care of by officials such as barefoot doctors and secretaries, the children were sent to schools, the women were taken care of by the deans of women's affairs, and even educated youth with some education could be asked to help.

We should popularize it, let everyone know that sex is not a mysterious thing, and educate women about the precautions during menstruation. It is a normal physiological problem, not something dirty that cannot be seen by others. Girls should respect themselves and not let others touch their private parts, let alone have unspeakable relationships, so as to avoid pregnancy.

etc.

She thought very carefully and gave Dong Huaihua a suggestion the next day, hoping that after the autumn harvest, relevant family planning personnel would be invited to provide scientific knowledge to the members.

Dong Huaihua laughed when she heard this, "Lin Lan, this is not a big deal. You are talking about the couple sleeping together. It's something that happens to us women every month. What's there to talk about?"

"Director, we know it and there is nothing much to say, but what about the ladies who don't know it? The family members are embarrassed to talk about it, and she doesn't understand, so won't it be easy for something to go wrong?"

There are girls who are molested and seduced by men, and there are also country girls who have affairs with educated youth boys and get pregnant, aren't those all problems?

Dong Huaihua smiled and said, "Even if someone talks, someone has to listen."

This is something that a couple can do in bed together without telling each other, and a man can flirt with other people's wives, but he can't talk about it seriously at home, let alone talk about it with his daughter.

I'm sorry.

If someone tells dirty jokes, they enjoy it very much, but if someone speaks seriously, they are embarrassed to listen.

It's so embarrassing.

The ladies are even more embarrassed.

If Dong Huaihua disagreed, the brigade would not care, and Lin Lan knew that there was no hope for the time being. She had no authority to speak now, so she could not force it. She just wanted to educate her children first.

When they got home from work in the evening, Lin Lan took Mai Sui to cook, while Erwang took Sanwang to pick up stones to pave the path to their new home.

While they were lighting the fire, Mai Sui said to her, "Mom, I want to tell you something."

Lin Lan often talked to Mai Sui and taught her to cultivate a habit of not hiding anything from her mother, no matter what she wanted or what secrets or worries she had.

"I saw Caihua and Yanyan hiding behind the haystack and touching each other. I didn't know what they were doing."

Lin Lan asked casually: "Are you taking lice?"

The sanitary conditions were poor at that time, and both adults and children had lice. Lin Lan spent a lot of effort, applying medicine and changing and washing clothes every day before she could clean her house.

Mai Sui shook his head and whispered something.

Lin Lan's scalp went numb when she heard this, and she immediately said, "Mai Sui, stay away from them and pretend you didn't see anything. I'll talk to their mother later."

Mai Sui nodded. "I still have to go to class and work, and I have to go home and do homework. When they call me, I never play with them."

Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Erwang and Mai Sui were together and could take care of each other.

She thought about it and realized that she couldn't tell the mother of the two children. The parents of the two children were well-known flirts and were not good people. If she told them, she would be slandered and might even make enemies.

However, Lin Lan also began to pay attention to these things consciously. If you don't pay attention, you won't know. Once you pay attention, you will find that, Emma, ​​there are things everywhere.

In the past, she only cared about her own affairs and never paid attention to other people's families. Now she has discovered something terrible.

The son of that family is away from home all year round, so his wife has an affair with her father-in-law. That's not all, she also has affairs with her uncle and other men in the village. It couldn't be more outrageous. Except for a few people involved, everyone else knows something about this, but it's impossible to tell them.

Whose daughter and whose boy are having an affair.

Whose daughter and the educated youth from the neighboring village...

Who is flirting with whom?

You guys are so cool.

When Lin Lan got nervous, she wanted to keep a close eye on the children to prevent them from learning bad things.

Da Wang is already 11 years old and taller than those who are 13 or 14 years old. In an environment where people can get married at the age of 15, 16 or 17, it is easy for him to get into trouble if he is seduced by someone or if he has any impulsive thoughts.

She couldn't help being a little anxious.

At dinner time, Han Qingsong saw her dazed and anxious at times, and his first reaction was that she was afraid to move into the new house and sleep with him?

He is not good at speaking and does not like to chat, but because of this, people do not avoid talking to him.

When I was in the army, there were no women around, and the men in the room talked about sex when they had free time. As they said, women are like wolves at 30 and tigers at 40, and when they are separated from men for a long time, they want to be together all the time when they see each other.

What they like to say most is "You know what, I am most afraid of visiting relatives! If there is nothing else to do, I will just stay in the house and work day and night. I have to make up for my absence. Listen to these old ladies..."

At that time, he just sat there with a cold expression as a background board.

Thinking of this, his expression remained cold, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Lin Lan.

She should not be afraid of him anymore.

At this moment Lin Lan suddenly came over and stared at him.

Han Qingsong's originally cold expression gradually softened at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Hmm?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "I want to discuss something with you."

Han Qingsong: If we sleep in separate rooms, then there’s no point in talking about it.

"say."

"You know what happened in the past two days."

Han Qingsong: "What's the matter?"

Lin Lan looked a little uncomfortable. "How could you not know?" How can we chat if we don't know? We can't have a pleasant chat.

"It's okay. It's okay."

Han Qingsong: "Oh, you mean that kid Sanwang?"

Lin Lan smiled, her cheeks a little red.

Han Qingsong looked at her and nodded, "I'll beat him up later."

Lin Lan: "…………No, I'm not asking you to beat the child."

Forget it. If this were a teacher, doctor or police officer, she could tell them everything calmly and then clearly list out what to do.

But the person in front of me is Han Qingsong, and it is really difficult to bring up the fact that I have some little things to do with her.

Although she automatically entered the role of an old mother, she did not automatically enter the stage where an old couple can speak freely or fart in front of each other.

To be precise, she is now in the stage of liking, liking, and being ambiguous.

I'm sorry.

Han Qingsong didn't quite understand what she meant and looked at her in confusion.

His expression was serious to begin with, and when he was confused, he became even more focused, especially his dark eyes, which were deep and his expression was stern.

Lin Lan looked at him and said, "You look so abstinent and handsome, but it's really not suitable for discussing serious matters. I'd better solve it myself."

Although Lin Lan did not explain it clearly, Han Qingsong hit the mark accidentally and guessed that Lin Lan wanted him to educate the child but did not want to beat him.

He felt that the naughty boy needed to be taught a lesson, so how could he not be beaten? However, since Lin Lan didn't allow him to be beaten, probably because she was afraid that Sanwang was too young to handle it, he went to talk to Han Qingping.

Director Han just stood there and there was no need for him to explain the whole story. Others would naturally start to imagine and try hard to do something.

So he just said something about that brat Sanwang, and Han Qingping immediately understood what was going on, "Qingsong, don't worry, I will educate the child."

Director Han nodded and said, "Teacher, I leave the child to you. If he doesn't obey, you can beat him."

Han Qingping agreed with a smile. Director Han was really magnanimous and majestic, with the demeanor of a general!

Han Qingsong hit the mark by accident. Han Qingping understood the correct meaning and lined up those naughty boys and gave them a good scolding.

"Isn't that rude? Are you still students? You're always peeing and barking at me. Who's the boss? If I hear you talking about peeing or being sleepy again, I'll make you copy the textbook ten times and recite all the lessons! If you can't recite it, I'll whip you with a cane for every word you miss!"

Han Qing is usually very gentle, but when he gets angry during class, even he gets scared!

…

It’s Mid-Autumn Festival soon.

Han Qingsong went to the commune in the morning and was distributing Mid-Autumn Festival benefits.

Government agencies and state-owned units offer various holiday benefits at this time.

According to their levels, Han Qingsong distributed two kilograms of sugar, two kilograms of large dates, five kilograms of apples, two kilograms of moon cakes, as well as ten kilograms of flour and two kilograms of oil.

He was also given other coupons. According to his level, he was given coupons for hot pots and enamel products, which could be used to buy a hot pot, an enamel basin or two enamel pots.

Sun Zhuowen and Huang Weizhong did not have coupons for hot water kettles, only coupons for enamelware products.

But they don't care anymore. After working for so many years, they already have the hot water bottle coupons.

Not only that, but at the end of each year, they would also give out coupons for big items, such as bicycle coupons, watch coupons, radio coupons, sewing machine coupons, etc. However, not everyone had these big coupons. One was given to the senior cadres to take turns to digest internally, and the other was taken out as employee benefits and rewards to advanced employees.

Han Qingsong should be able to get the same by the end of the year.

When Han Qingsong went to the supply and marketing cooperative, he was a little hesitant about whether to buy two enamel pots or an enamel basin because he needed both at home.

The clay basin for washing feet at home was hit by Sanwang's carelessness. Although Lin Lan did not blame him, she couldn't help feeling distressed and complained to Han Qingsong that the basin was not sturdy.

There is only one enamel pot in the house.

After thinking about it this way, I decided to buy a basin. A teacup will do. It’s okay for him to drink water from his lunch box at work.

After buying a hot pot and a basin, he also used his monthly food coupons to buy things, including half a pound of sugar, half a pound of salt, a pound of mooncakes, a pound of red dates, and half a pound of black fungus. Their fixed food coupons were usually used to buy sugar, eggs, snacks, etc. There were eggs at home, so Han Qingsong asked Lin Lan to exchange the eggs for red dates and black fungus.

He also bought a bag of Tremella fuciformis for Lin Lan.

Red dates and Tremella sweet water is a good dessert even in the city.

"Director Han, does your family like the gauze scarves you bought last time?" Qiu Dongmei looked at him for a long time and asked when he was buying white fungus.

They also didn't expect that this country boy Chief Han was so attractive. He was tall and had an upright posture. Although he was aloof, this made him even more handsome, with a kind of charming handsomeness that could captivate people's hearts.

She just couldn't help but want to tease him, to see if his cold eyes towards others would show a gentle look towards her.

Han Qingsong put the things he bought into his bag and said, "I like it very much."

"Then we have some suitable ones here. Would you like to take a look? No ticket required!" Qiu Dongmei shook her big braid and took out a pair of white socks, a pair of maroon cowhide shoes, a pair of black pigskin shoes, and some women's underwear.

Nowadays, women in the countryside basically don’t wear underwear. Those who are particular about it will at most make a vest and wear it, while those who are not particular and poor will just go out topless.

She put those things up, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Han Qingsong.

He didn't look up at her, his eyes were on the items, and he treated her no differently than the older woman selling groceries next to him.

Qiu Dongmei felt a little lost.

Han Qingsong looked at it and raised his eyebrows. Don’t want a ticket?

Cowhide leather shoes are more expensive than pig leather shoes. White socks and leather shoes are a perfect match at this time. They will definitely look good on her, but they are expensive, so she will definitely not be happy.

You can buy it at the end of the year.

That women's vest is not expensive.

Han Qingsong didn't touch it, but just looked at it. The moon-white women's vest was shorter than the men's vest, probably not reaching the belly button. The strap on it was thicker, and there were four buttons in the middle that could be fastened.

I don't know whether to buckle forward or backward.

He asked, "Does this come in a size?"

Men's vests come in different sizes, and he needs a large size because he is tall.

Qiu Dongmei smiled and said, "Director Han has bought a lot of things, so he knows all the sizes." She picked up a vest, fiddled with it, and pointed to both sides to explain to him, "Look, there are different sizes here."

Han Qingsong thought of Lin Lan's two soft and plump breasts, which should be bigger.

"Large," he said.

Qiu Dongmei saw that the tips of his ears were turning red, and her own heart began to beat wildly, and she almost wanted to put the vest on her chest to measure it.

Wang Huijuan saw it and immediately came over and pulled the vest off, "Get a larger size for Director Han."

Qiu Dongmei finally came to her senses, quickly picked up the large one and threw it on the counter, her cheeks burning.

Han Qingsong didn't pay attention and bought two vests, one moon-white and one light pink, packed them up, and left.

As soon as he left, Wang Huijuan pushed Qiu Dongmei and asked, "Did you drink the magic potion?"

Qiu Dongmei bit her lip and whispered, "Who knew he wouldn't be so shy?"

At that time, young men and women who were not in love would blush when they approached and talked, especially those who were in the military, because they rarely came into contact with women and did not know how to talk to them. Who would have known that he was not only not ashamed, but also bought a vest for his wife to wear next to her.

And did he, did he say he wanted a larger size because he looked at his breasts?

Is he interested in me?

Wang Huijuan poked her with a finger, "Isn't she ashamed? I don't think you are ashamed. If the president knew, he would criticize you."

Qiu Dongmei quickly pulled her and said, "Sister Huijuan, don't talk nonsense. I didn't do that."

Having said that, I couldn't help but make an excuse to go out and see if Han Qingsong was outside. Maybe he was waiting for me?

When she went out, she didn't see anyone and felt very disappointed.

Han Qingsong has already gone to the slaughtering team. This time he reserved a pair of pig's trotters and a pig's tail, as well as half a pound of meat for August, which he also cut back and bought some bones.

Minister Zhao also gave him the meat coupons for July as a supplement for the last time.

Lin Lan said that today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and they officially moved into their new home today, so they want to celebrate, so they need to buy more meat. If there is no meat, bones will do.

He was lucky this time, and in addition to what he had ordered, he also bought a piece of pig liver and a large piece of pig blood.

In fact, the slaughter team leader had left it for him on purpose. It didn't matter who he sold it to, and the price would be the same for Han Qingsong, and he could also make good friends with him.

After the purchase, Han Qingsong went to the grain management office again to buy two kilograms of loose liquor and soy sauce.

Wine and soy sauce should be considered as non-staple foods, and are usually sold in supply and marketing cooperatives. Their commune has changed to selling them in grain management offices since the second half of the year. The members don't mind who sells them, as long as the price doesn't go up.

After shopping, he packed the items in a basket, tied it to the back of his bicycle, and went straight home.

Lin Lan took Sanwang and Xiaowang to pack up and move at home. Dawang went to pick corn, and Erwang and Mai Sui went to pick cotton.

"There's meat. That's an improvement on our meal tonight." Lin Lan was very happy to see Han Qingsong bringing back so many things, and she hurried over to help unload them.

Xiaowang led Wangwang and looked up at the bicycle, "Eat the meat scraps."

The half pound of meat was not wasted. After stir-frying, there was half a bowl of meat scraps. Lin Lan gave it all to the children. It was so delicious that they are still thinking about it.

"I'll make it for you tonight." Lin Lan tapped his nose, "Let my kids eat it and become fat."

Wangwang: “Woof woof woof~~”

"Let me give you some meat soup." Lin Lan gently touched Wangwang with her toes.

It has grown into a Chinese pastoral dog with beautiful fur. It looks very honest and even has the same soft and cute feeling as Xiaowang.

Han Qingsong: "Move the cooking and sleeping equipment first, and I'll move the rest later."

Lin Lan agreed and said that she would move the pot over after lunch and cook in the new home in the evening.

Han Qingsong wanted to help her move things, but Lin Lan quickly said, "You go to work first, I'll do it myself."

He was strong, and if he shared the work with others, he could earn more than ten work points even now. Usually during the busy summer and autumn harvest season, in order to motivate members to work harder and faster, the team would divide the work and set a certain number of work points for each member to claim, and they could get the work points after completing the work.

As long as one has enough strength and is confident that he can finish the task within the time limit set by the team, basically everyone will claim it, which will naturally be more than the fixed work points.

Han Qingsong put down his things and let her clean them up herself.

Seeing some red dates, Lin Lan grabbed a handful and let Sanwang and his brother eat them while she went into the house to clean up.

Han Qingsong also followed in and handed her the vest he bought.

Lin Lan: ...He actually bought her underwear!

She reached out to take it, but he didn't let go. She raised her eyes and met his burning gaze.

Lin Lan: “…an old married couple,” Why are you acting like this, like a young couple in love? You’re too…late blooming.

Han Qingsong's eyes were dark and his breathing became heavy. He put his hands on the edge of the tub and held her in his arms.

"Tonight..." he said in a low voice, "We sleep in the west room."

Lin Lan responded to him with a hum, why did he care about such a small thing? !

Han Qingsong lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "I'm going to work."

"What are you eating secretly?" Sanwang just came in from outside and shouted.

Lin Lan quickly grabbed a date and stuffed it into Han Qingsong's mouth, "Your father wants to eat a date, haha, eat a date and go to work quickly."

She pushed Han Qingsong, signaling him to go to work quickly.

Han Qingsong's big hand paused on her back, and he said to Sanwang calmly, "Listen to your mother." Then he left.

Sanwang ran into the house and asked, "Mom, did my dad steal something delicious?"

Lin Lan tried her best to keep a calm expression, "No, I just ate a red date."

Sanwang: "So you ate it secretly?"

Lin Lan: “………………”

Is this ever going to end?

"Neither have I."

"Then why is your face so red? My dad's ears are red too."

Lin Lan thought that she must not do this, and she would make three rules with Han Qingsong in the future: they must not be intimate in the daytime, so as to avoid misunderstandings and bad influences on the children. Although Sanwang did not talk about privacy, children are very curious, and sometimes they like to stare at things they are curious about, so he must not see anything.

She quickly made a bowl of sugar water and asked Sanwang and Xiaowang to come over and drink.

Sanwang chuckled, "Mom bribed me. Don't worry, I won't tell my brother and the others that we stole the candy."

Lin Lan: Do you know you are going to lose me?

Fortunately, Sanwang was young and didn't know much except eating and playing. His attention was immediately attracted by the sugar water.

At noon, after dinner, Han Qingsong moved the pot to Lin Lan's new home. The new house was basically cleaned up and ready for living, with some remaining details that could be completed slowly.

Lin Lan moved all the light items such as quilts, clothes, and basins over, leaving only the large items such as vats in the old house.

Standing in the yard and looking at her new house, Lin Lan felt very happy.

The red walls and black tiles, the brick seams are plastered with lime and cement to prevent water seepage. The roof is tiled, warm and strong, and will not leak in the future. It is safe and beautiful. Among the dark mud-walled thatched houses, the cranes and chickens are particularly eye-catching.

The foundations of the three main rooms are raised by half a meter to prevent backflow during heavy rains. There is also space for a room next to the west room, which can be used to build a suite in the future.

The courtyard wall, the south room and the toilet are made of a combination of blue bricks and stones, which is also neat and tidy and looks very beautiful.

The gate to the courtyard is in the southeast corner. There is a screen wall to block peeping from outside, and a gravel path extends from the gate.

In front of the south wall is a row of small south-facing rooms, used to store grass, household items and other sundries, and now piled with wood for household items. In the southwest corner is a toilet and a stone pen, where no pigs are raised, but chickens and ducks are temporarily raised.

There are no sheds, so the yard is very spacious and you can grow vegetables and flowers outside the corridor.

Space is reserved for planting trees at the base of the wall and in front of the house, so that fruit trees and timber trees can be planted next spring.

In the countryside, people generally like to plant pomegranates, apricot trees, and jujube trees in their yards. They also like to plant wood crops such as acacia, Chinese pagoda, and sycamore. Especially when there are children, they plant trees and when their children grow up, they cut them down to make furniture or give them as dowries.

Even if the courtyard is only the size of a palm, the members are reluctant to waste it and basically make the most of it.

Entering the house, the room is tall and spacious, stretching from top to bottom, with no other pillars in the middle to support it. Unlike some houses, which have north-south kangs to make them deeper, they need pillars in the middle to support it.

But just for a yard with only the main house, she spent 1,900 yuan, which is really expensive.

It can be seen that building a good house will never be cheap at any time.

The only thing we can save is the wages of the handymen. We don’t pay them wages, and they don’t provide much food. We can repay the favor with our own wages in the future.

Of course, she and Han Qingsong had higher requirements. They wanted to build a tall and spacious house. If it was a smaller house, they could save a lot of bricks, tiles and wood. After all, trees that are ten or twenty years old are much more expensive than those that are less than ten years old, and the price may even be three or five times higher.

If you want to build a small house, this yard doesn't cost more than a thousand dollars, eight or nine hundred dollars will be enough.

But with Lin Lan's philosophy of spending money, how could she possibly save money? If something was similar here, she'd have to go a little bigger; if something was similar there, she'd have to go a little better. As a result, she naturally ended up seriously overspending.

Han Qingsong originally estimated that one thousand was enough, but Lin Lan added some money to the mix and that's it.

In short, although it cost a lot of money, Lin Lan was very satisfied with the house. After all, in this era, people were not allowed to do business or set up private enterprises, and the purpose of having money was to improve the living environment.

Han Qingsong has already helped her with this, and she is very grateful.

She was busy inside and outside the whole afternoon, and seeing that it was getting late, she hurried to prepare dinner.

If you are too lazy to pluck the hair, just burn the pig's trotters and tails over fire, boil water to remove the blood, blanch and wash them clean, then put them in a pot with cold water and add the spices to continue cooking.

After opening the pot, simmer on low heat. When it is almost cooked, serve out part of the meat and soup and save them for later consumption. Add the rest to vegetables such as potatoes and pumpkins, then stick pancakes on the side of the pot and continue simmering.

The fragrance seemed to spread far away.

Sanwang didn't want to go anywhere. He just squatted in front of the stove to help Lin Lan light the fire, drooling.

Lin Lan saw that he looked chubby and the crescent-shaped scar on his forehead was particularly conspicuous in the firelight. If he was a little darker, he would really look like a little Bao Gong.

She was so soft-hearted that she cooked for Sanwang and Xiaowang.

She cut a piece of pork liver and a piece of pig's tail, removed the meat and skin, threw the bones back into the pot, then added some light soy sauce and mashed garlic and let the two children dip them in it.

Xiao Wang picked up a piece of pig liver and stuffed it into Lin Lan's mouth, "Mom, eat it."

Sanwang chuckled and took out the pig tail meat that had been stuffed into his mouth, "Mom..."

"Eat quickly, mom has some here too." Lin Lan smiled.

Sanwang started eating.

This kid has a big appetite. Even though he is only 7 years old, he eats more than 9-year-old Mai Sui.

Lin Lan also gave them a large bowl of cakes soaked in meat soup. Xiaowang ate two pieces, and Sanwang gulped down the rest with the soup.

"You guys eat meat at home, and mom will give it to your brothers and sisters in the future. You can't compete with each other, understand?"

Although Lin Lan was willing to open a small stove for them, some things had to be made clear. Mother could open a small stove for them, and in the future she would also open one for her brothers and sisters so that they could all have a share of the good things, and they were not the only ones who could enjoy this treatment.

Children are young now, they are like a blank slate, they will grow up according to how adults teach them.

Lin Lan had never raised a child before, but she had just applied the parenting concepts instilled in her by her best friends and what she had learned from her parents, relatives, elders, and parents of her classmates when she was a child.

For example, if her mother favors boys over girls, she would remind herself that she must never favor boys over girls.

For example, when old lady Han was partial to her children, she reminded herself that she must not be partial to her children. She should pamper the obedient children but not dislike the naughty ones.

When caring for younger children, we must also pay attention to the inner emotional needs of older children.

Although Da Wang is a little bit crooked, he is not completely crooked after all. She is sincere to him, and she believes that he can feel it.

Although he skipped school now, he was no longer so resistant to her and even knew to go to work for her.

Then Xiaowang and Sanwang are naturally the same.

The two children nodded, "I know."

Soon the children came back from work and were almost starved to death by the delicious smell of the food.

"Meat, meat!" they shouted.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Wash your hands, face and feet, and wait for your father to come back before having dinner."

It was already dark when Han Qingsong came back, and Lin Lan immediately got him some water to wash his hands.

"This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the separation. Are we going to go back home to celebrate, or are we going to celebrate it on our own? If we go back home to celebrate, bring all the food with us. If we celebrate it on our own, I've also prepared a pot of meat dishes. You can take the children and send it over to say hello to grandpa and grandma."

Han Qingsong was about to say that it was all over.

Lin Lan added, "Generally speaking, if the elderly are happy for us to come over, they will send their children to call us. If they don't call us, it probably means they don't want us to come over. If a large group of us go over without saying hello, I'm afraid it will only cause trouble instead of adding to the festivities."

Mai Sui and Er Wang poked San Wang.

Sanwang said, "Mom, I want to eat at home. My grandma doesn't like me. Every time she sees me, she says I'm a short-lived ghost who caused Si Dada to go to labor reform. She also says I'm here to collect debts and I should be beaten to death."

Erwang: “I heard it several times.”

Mai Sui: “I heard it too.”

Xiao Wang: "My aunt called me a fool. Don't dirty her eyes. I won't go, and neither will you, mother."

Han Qingsong stopped washing his face.

Lin Lan was afraid that he would scold the children, so she quickly said, "Actually, it's not just them. I'm afraid of them too. Every time we meet, I either get scolded or the old lady gets really mad. It's not good during a big festival."

She smiled, her voice becoming softer and softer, "How about... you go alone? You are the biological son, and the old lady will be happy when you go. Besides, you can eat more than a large family like us. If there are more people, there will be more food, and the old lady will feel distressed, so she will inevitably get angry and scold you."

Han Qingsong rested his hands on the edge of the enamel basin, without washing his face or saying anything. He turned his head to look at her. At this moment, she smiled gently and cunningly, which was different from her at any time before.

It seemed that she was not afraid of him at all.

Seeing his cold face and deep eyes, Lin Lan immediately squatted down with a smile and took the initiative to wipe his face with a towel. "I am also thinking about family harmony. When the old lady sees us, she will think of the fourth child. It's not worth it to get angry. What do you think?"

Han Qingsong still didn't say anything.

Lin Lan was a little unsure, wondering if she had to bring food with her family. She would not be happy if she did that. Why not just go there and show up and then come back to eat?

Throwing Han Qingsong there should work.

"Let's sleep in the west room." He said softly, as if confirming with her.

The night breeze was cool, but Lin Lan was furious. Why was this guy like this? He was thinking about that when we were talking about business. Besides, he had asked her once in the morning, and he kept asking her. What a joke.

Are all men like this?

She threw the towel down and snorted, "You should sleep in the old house."

She was about to stand up and walk away, but Han Qingsong grabbed her hand and pressed it into the basin, not allowing her to escape.

She frowned.

He looked at her, his deep eyes blending with the gentle moonlight. "Are you afraid of me?" he asked.

Lin Lan bent her fingers and pinched his rough palm, slightly provocative, "No way!"

He smiled faintly, leaned his head slightly closer to her ear, and whispered, "You have the final say."

Lin Lan smiled and pulled her hand away, "I'll go get you some food."

Han Qingsong finished washing his face and said, "I'll go sit for a while and come back soon."

Hearing him say this, Lin Lan changed the large bowl for a large shallow bowl. After all, he was going to come back to eat, so she had to save it for him.

She filled a bowl with food, added a few pieces of tail bones, pig liver, and a large piece of pig blood, and handed it to him along with a bag of mooncakes.

Han Qingsong took it and said, "You guys eat first, no need to wait for me."

…

The old Han family became even poorer without Han Qingsong's allowance.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, not only did I not buy moon cakes and apples, I didn’t even want to eat a proper meal.

When Mrs. Han suggested making a plate of fried eggs to improve their lives, Mrs. Han got furious.

"Jinbao is suffering, why should we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival? What's the point of celebrating if we can't have a family reunion?" Old Mrs. Han had a sad face every day, and she was always scornful to everyone, scolding them whenever she wanted. "Jinbao has been arrested, aren't you happy? This is what you want now, you don't have to pay money or work points, you don't have to collect food, and the eggs can be saved for you to eat!"

Old Korean just smoked silently.

Brother Han: "Mom, why are you so angry? It's a big holiday."

The second brother Han said sarcastically, "Brother, during the festival, the third brother's family built a big brick and tile house, and reluctantly let us live there and spend the festival there. But how can parents go? Even parents won't come to invite them? With this division of the family, I really don't have parents and brother anymore in my eyes."

Brother Han: "What are you talking about? Of course we all celebrate the festival in the old house. How can the old people move out?"

Han Jinyu snorted, "I think my second brother is right. She must have instigated it."

Han Ersao: "I heard that the third brother bought a lot of meat, but he didn't come to give us some?"

The children all said that Sandada didn’t come.

Han's second sister-in-law was unhappy. "I said that last time he bought such a big pig head, why didn't he give my parents a bite of meat? This is too much."

Brother Han was embarrassed, "We didn't go to help put up the beams, there were seven or eight people helping, and the pig's head was gone after one bite each."

Old Mrs. Han started crying again. The fourth child was caught, the third child was abducted by a fox spirit, and the remaining two were useless.

Sister-in-law Han was in charge of cooking. There were no vegetables in the garden at this time of year. There were only pumpkins and dried beans at home, and some farm sauce. There was no meat at home, and the old lady wouldn't allow eggs to be cooked. It couldn't be any more shabby.

Compared with the third family, there is a huge difference!

That day, Lin Lan divided the meat and gave her the biggest portion to take back, saying that it was for her grandparents and the children.

Sister-in-law Han was so angry that she took it back and secretly fed it to her own child. If she had given it to the old lady, her sister-in-law and second uncle would have eaten it all, and her own child would not have had a chance to eat a single bite.

At this time, the old Korean man slowly spoke. His voice was a little different because he hadn't spoken seriously for a long time and smoked a lot. "Reunion Festival is like New Year's Eve. The family should get together. Go and call the third brother's family over for dinner. Make two plates of fried eggs, one for the men and one for the children."

Mrs. Han's eyebrows immediately rose. "You are so greedy that you are blinded by greed. He doesn't even think of you as his father. Why are you still thinking about him? There are so many eggs in the house, and she took them all away. How can you still want to eat eggs?"

Sister-in-law Han also complained.

Han's sister-in-law sneered. Her father-in-law was also funny. He wanted the third child's family to send food but didn't say so. Instead, he asked them to come and eat. They had already prepared everything. Why did they ask them to come and eat? With the third child's personality, how could he come empty-handed? He would definitely bring everything to eat together.

Looking at Lin Lan as a fool, how could she agree?

Han Erge and his wife immediately said, "Let's go call the third brother's family."

Han Xiaogu immediately shouted, "Just call me Third Brother, don't call that bitch. I feel sick when I see her. Also, don't let the short-lived ghost and the little fool come. There are already many people here, and if these outsiders come over, it will be a nuisance."

Old Lady Han: "Just let the third son come. Those who have been divided out are outsiders and don't need to come."

Just as the second brother Han and his wife were about to move, the old man Han said, "Go and call your sister-in-law to apologize and ask her not to bother with you in the future."

Han Jinyu was anxious: "Dad, are you confused?"

The old Korean said angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Old Lady Han said unhappily, "Why are you scaring my daughter? It's not Jin Yu's fault. That woman is famous in the whole village. No one has said anything good about her. Is it my daughter's fault?"

Although Old Han was angry, he couldn't bear to beat or scold his daughter. These days, his daughter had been working with him and was so tired that she cried all day long and her hands were bruised. Although he allowed her to work, he had already relaxed in his heart and allowed her to rest at home.

He waved his hand and let the second son go, and the second son and his wife went out happily.

As a result, he ran into someone outside the courtyard gate. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so he asked, "Who is it?"

The shadow said calmly: "Second brother, it's me."

Standing here, you can clearly hear the old lady's cursing voice coming from the main room.

Han Erge was a little embarrassed, "Third brother, you came at the right time. We were just about to invite you to dinner."
