After Luo Haicheng frightened Zhao Jianshe, he said goodbye to Han Qingsong and escorted them away first.
Han Qingsong said to Han Qingyun beside him: "You go with Captain Luo."
Han Qingyun happily responded, "Sister-in-law, Xiaowang, I'll leave first."
Lin Lan waved at him, "Go quickly."
Xiaowang was still obsessed with the chicken pecking rice and playing the harmonica.
Han Qingsong took his wife and children not from the county hospital, but from another road. To the north of the road were the cinema and the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Theater.
Lin Lan couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw a familiar figure again.
Han Qingsong immediately braked and asked, "Do you want to go to the movies?"
Lin Lan wasn't very interested in movies at that time. It wasn't because they were bad, but mainly because she wasn't used to the perfect image and stiff performance style.
She said, "Don't watch the movie, look at that person and see if she is Xiuyun from our village."
Han Qingsong: “Who is it?”
Lin Lan: "...the daughter of the director of public security!"
Han Qingsong said, "I guess... well, there is a situation."
He initially thought that he was probably coming to the county town to play, but then he remembered that it was autumn harvest time, and he couldn't ask for leave unless there was something important. The director of public security has always been responsible, and it is even more impossible for him to let his family take the lead in asking for leave.
There must be something going on.
He and Han Qingyun came to the county today. The director of public security certainly knew that if there was something serious, he would ask them to handle it. Since no one asked them to do it, it means that Xiuyun came here on her own.
If someone comes here on his own, then there is a reason.
This situation is usually not a good thing.
Lin Lan said: "Wait for me, I'll go say hello."
Lin Lan was naturally not willing to meddle in other people's business, but she had seen Liu Xiuyun looking distraught in the hospital before, and now she was at the entrance of the cinema, so there was probably something wrong.
Liu Xiuyun, the daughter of the director of public security, is a good daughter in everyone's eyes. She is well-behaved, sensible, quiet and kind. Every time you see her, she smiles and never gets angry with others.
Even the most picky and difficult people in the village could not find anything bad to say about her.
Because she is kind to everyone and will help anyone who needs help.
Even Lin Lan had received help from her in the past.
It was the year when the original owner had a fight with Liu Chunfang and Xiaowang gave birth prematurely. Later, the original owner had a quarrel with the old lady and others. She was so angry that she ran out to sulk. She was hungry all day but refused to go home. She wanted to get angry with her family and take advantage of them. As a result, no one cared about her. Han's sister-in-law wanted to find the child, but was scolded by the old lady.
In the end, the original owner was hungry and cold, and almost fainted from hunger.
Liu Xiuyun happened to pass by. She was only a girl of twelve or thirteen at that time. She did not mind that Lin Lan was wearing tattered and dirty clothes. She helped her to a sheltered place and gave her own hot sweet potatoes to the original owner.
Lin Lan still feels warm when she recalls this warmth in the cold, and she is very grateful to Liu Xiuyun.
So, if Liu Xiuyun had any problems, she would naturally help.
Han Qingsong stopped the car and told her to go.
Lin Lan handed the bag to Han Qingsong, asked him to be careful with the food in the lunch box, and then ran towards Liu Xiuyun.
"Xiuyun, it's really you!" Lin Lan said with a smile, "I thought I had made a mistake."
When Liu Xiuyun saw Lin Lan, she was stunned at first, then her face changed and she looked a little at a loss, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
"Auntie, why are you here to watch a movie?"
Lin Lan smiled and said, "What kind of movie do farmers want to watch? They don't have the money to spare. I'm bringing Xiao Wang here to get his eyes checked. What about you?"
Liu Xiuyun began to twist her clothes tightly again, "I, I, I have a stomachache today, so I came to the hospital to check it out."
She was not good at lying and couldn't come up with anything to say, so she could only say this.
Lin Lan asked with concern: "Does your stomach still hurt? We came here by bicycle. Do you want us to take you back?"
Liu Xiuyun shook her head hurriedly, "No, no need."
As they were talking, a young man ran towards them, smiling with his two big buck teeth showing, which was quite dazzling in the setting sun.
Perhaps because he saw Lin Lan talking to Liu Xiuyun, the young man suddenly stopped and immediately turned around and ran to the other side.
Lin Lan took a look and asked, "Who was that young man just now? He seemed to be from our village."
Liu Xiuyun's face turned pale and red, "No, no, Auntie, you must have seen it wrong."
Lin Lan invited her to go home with her.
Liu Xiuyun hesitated, but shook her head, "Auntie, you, you go first, I, I'll wait for a while."
"It's getting dark." Lin Lan already felt something was wrong. Liu Xiuyun was a person who would never lie and was an honest girl. She just worked hard every day. Why did she ask for leave during the autumn harvest?
If you really need to see a doctor, you have to stay with your family. If you don't, you have to go home after the consultation.
She is still standing in the cinema. It would be strange if nothing happened.
However, seeing that Liu Xiuyun was about to cry, Lin Lan didn't have the heart to force her.
After all, she was grateful for the warmth of the past, but Liu Xiuyun actually didn't have much contact with her. She just did it out of convenience back then. Now she had no right to force Liu Xiuyun to go back.
She said, "Then go back early and tell me if you have anything to say."
She said goodbye.
After taking two steps, Liu Xiuyun said: "Auntie!"
Lin Lan turned around and looked at her.
Liu Xiuyun bit her lips but didn't know it, "Auntie, you, you don't..."
"I know, and I won't tell anyone. Don't worry, but you have to take good care of yourself and don't keep anything to yourself."
Liu Xiuyun's eyes turned red and she lowered her head.
Lin Lan went to find Han Qingsong and spoke to him briefly.
Han Qingsong just said "oh" and took them both home without saying anything.
On the way, they also met Luo Haicheng, Han Qingyun and others. After saying hello, they went home first.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Lin Lan said, "Okay, we're home now. Xiao Wang and I will go home by ourselves, and you go and get busy."
She knew that the matter was not over yet. Han Qinghua still had to make arrangements. After catching Han Qingsong, he would definitely have to go and see his brother, whether it was to teach him a lesson or something else.
He is considerate of her, so she should also be a considerate wife, right?
Han Qingsong didn't force it, so he picked up Xiaowang and put him on the ground, "Then I'll go to the commune first."
Lin Lan nodded. "No matter how busy you are at work, you must eat well."
Han Qingsong turned his head to look at her and nodded, "I understand."
Lin Lan reminded Xiaowang, the little chicken pecking at rice, to say goodbye to his father.
Xiao Wang waved his little hand, "Woo-woo-du-du~ Goodbye!"
At this time, the sun was half-set in the west. It was dusk and the wind was cool, but Han Qingsong felt warm in his heart.
When he rode his bike to the commune, Sun Zhuowen and Huang Weizhong came running over, waiting on him attentively and asking about his well-being.
Han Qingsong looked calm, "Did you catch Han Qinghua?"
"Catch...get a beating!" Sun Zhuowen said with a smile, "These days, without food coupons and letters of introduction, you can't go anywhere."
Huang Weizhong said: "He turned himself in. He was very hungry and is now locked up in our yard."
Han Qingsong nodded, with no expression on his face, and said he would go over and take a look.
Sun Zhuowen quickly led the way, no longer the arrogant and tentative look he had at the beginning. Now he was eager to serve Han Qingsong and carry his sedan chair.
He had originally thought about competing with Han Qingsong, but now he had given up the idea and only hoped that Han Qingsong would be promoted. He dared not think of anything bad. Look at Zhao Anpin's family, how pitiful they were. A while ago, they came to show off to him how capable they were, and that they could even take care of Shanshui Farm.
It's fine now.
Han Qinghua was different this time from last time. Last time he was putting on airs, trying to impress his third brother and make him unable to explain to his parents.
As soon as she saw Han Qingsong, she rushed over and cried, "Third brother, please let me go home, I really can't stand it anymore."
Han Qingsong stood with his hands behind his back, as tall and straight as the locust tree in the yard. "Do you know you were wrong?"
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Han Qinghua was almost kneeling down and kowtowed. If kowtow was useful, he would have kowtowed a thousand times.
He knew he was doomed when he ran out of the farm and was put in a sack. When he opened his eyes and found himself trapped in a small dark room, he knew he was doomed. Fortunately, no one beat him, but he had no food to eat. Later, he finally broke the wooden door and ran out. He didn't dare to go home, so he had no choice but to turn himself in to the police station.
"Then work hard and strive for a reduced sentence."
"Ah? You, you won't let me go home?" Han Qinghua looked at his third brother in horror, "I am your biological brother!"
Han Qingsong: "Even if I break the law, I will be convicted, but my brother can be exempted?"
Sun Zhuowen thought to himself: How cruel.
Han Qinghua burst into tears, just like Zhao Jianshe.
"No one will bully you anymore. Work hard like you do at home." Han Qingsong said, "Dad and Mom can come visit you too. You can go home to visit your family every three or six months."
As long as they were not the heavy criminals who were designated as the focus, even if they were sentenced to ten or eight years, as long as they could work with everyone, it was actually the same. After all, the place was mainly for some political prisoners who were criticized, most of whom were people with bad backgrounds, not really guilty.
In addition, those who committed crimes such as theft and hooliganism would also be sentenced to prison and forced labor after the struggle session. Some people were not sentenced, but only subjected to struggle sessions, and then sent to the original unit for labor and education. For some people, spiritual criticism and shackles were heavier than physical imprisonment.
Han Qinghua didn't understand this. He just wanted to go home, where his parents would protect him. His parents would cook for him, and his brothers would work to earn work points. He didn't have to do anything.
He doesn’t want to go to labor reform!!!
Han Qingsong said to Sun Zhuowen, "Wait for Captain Luo to come back and take them over together."
Sun Zhuowen claimed that it was.
After Luo Haicheng sent them all to the labor reform farm and asked them to sign and put their fingerprints on the handover, he had Han Qinghua transferred to another group, so that he could work under a more amiable platoon leader and stay away from these people.
Zhang Heilu and Zhao Jianshe are together.
He didn't care. He was born into a peasant family and was strong and good at work.
But it’s not the same with Zhao Jianshe. He is even more delicate and docile than Han Qinghua. You can let him climb trees and jump off the house, and he is not afraid to flirt with the ladies and young wives. Just don’t let him work.
Especially when they had to go out in the wind and rain to collect food, their hands and feet were covered with blisters, and if they were slow they would have no food to eat. For others, this was normal labor.
To him, it was like hell.
Sometimes physical labor is the best punishment for some people.
The matter came to an end. Zhao An got what he deserved, Zhao Jianshe was punished for his crime, Zhang Heilu was foolishly implicated, and Han Qinghua lost all his support and had to accept his fate of suffering on the farm.
Although he was not used to it at first, without support and hope, he no longer dared to run away or be lazy, and slowly began to work.
You can adapt to labor. When your hands and feet are rubbed with welts, you won't feel the pain and will slowly get used to it.
In the evening, Han Qingsong returned home. Lin Lan had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Han Qingsong. Mai Sui excitedly put on her scarf and turban.
It was the first time she had such a nice thing and she didn’t know how to wear it. In the past, she could only watch her younger sister show off her beauty, but now she could be beautiful herself too. She was so happy.
Erwang had a look of envy on his face, Dawang had a look of indifference, Sanwang had a look of curiosity, and Xiaowang just focused on pecking at rice.
Mai Sui put the gauze over her scarf and then wrapped it directly around her head. "Look, does it look good?"
Lin Lan: “…” It’s a bit eye-catching. It looks like the square scarves that women wore in the 1980s, folded in half into a triangle, put over the head and tied around the chin. Add to that the two people’s frozen red cheeks, it’s so funny.
Sanwang clapped his hands, "It looks beautiful, just like the mother hen in the painting."
When Mr. Huo taught them to draw, he basically started with things around them, such as chickens, ducks, geese, cows, horses, and sheep. A mother hen leading a group of chicks, wearing scarves when the weather gets cold, is so vivid.
Mai Sui thought about it and felt that it was offensive to him, "Bad Sanwang, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Sanwang rubbed the crescent moon on his forehead and said, "I told you that you are pretty, why are you still ignoring me?"
Erwang: "It's like you are like a loach in summer."
Sanwang: "Wow, second brother, you made fun of me for being dark, but now I am not dark anymore. Loaches are good at swimming, you are complimenting me, I am happy."
As they were talking, Xiaowang suddenly blew out a very nice sound. Everyone was stunned for a moment and turned to look at him. Sanwang asked, "Oh my god, Xiaowang, are you going to be a music teacher?"
Only Teacher Huo can be so amazing.
Xiaowang's eyes lit up. He was encouraged and started playing the flute again.
Everyone can now treat the sound he makes as background music and no longer find it noisy.
At this time, Han Qingsong came back from outside.
Sanwang shouted, "Dad is back, we can have dinner now."
Lin Lan scooped out the hot water from the earthenware jar and asked Han Qingsong to suck it from his hand.
Han Qingsong said: "Just use cool water."
"It's cold now." Lin Lan disagreed, "You should use warm water. If it freezes, you will feel uncomfortable when you grow old."
“I’m used to it.”
Lin Lan glared at him and said, "No one took care of you before. Now that you are home, you have to listen to me."
Han Qingsong looked at her deeply and said, "Okay."
Lin Lan immediately turned to look at Da Wang and said proudly: "I've seen it all. Your father has to listen to me, and you have to listen even more. If anyone doesn't listen..."
Xiao Wang immediately said, "I'll listen to my mother."
Sanwang laughed and said, "Listen to your mother and you won't be beaten."
Da Wang twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to look into the yard.
After dinner, the children went to the production team to peel corn. In the next few days, they would peel the corn, thresh the grains, dry it, hand it in as public rations, and distribute the rations. Therefore, both adults and children were very busy, and the school did not assign homework.
Da Wang and San Wang were afraid that their mother would ask them about school, and was even more afraid that they would have to do some homework, so they took the opportunity when Lin Lan and Han Qingsong finished their meal to quickly tell their mother that they were going to peel corn and ran out.
Erwang was not in a hurry and even took the initiative to help Lin Lan wash the pot.
Now he has been brainwashed by Lin Lan and thinks that washing pots and dishes should be a man's job. Girls have delicate hands and should not do such greasy work.
Especially since Han Qingsong also helped Lin Lan wash the dishes, he believed it without a doubt.
Mai Sui is more inclined to listen to her mother, study hard, and help with housework within her ability.
Mai Sui: "Xiao Wang, come on, I'll take you to find Teacher Huo."
Teacher Huo did light work with the children, which was a privilege given to the teacher.
Xiaowang looked at Lin Lan.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Go."
After Mai Sui took Xiao Wang away, Lin Lan suddenly regretted it.
Sure enough, Han Qingsong, who was eating before, suddenly finished eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Lin Lan thoughtfully.
Lin Lan: “…” What’s the matter?
He helped to clear the dishes and wash the floor, then took a look around the room. On the west wall hung her and his shoulder bags, and on the east wall hung another military backpack as an incentive.
Lin Lan poured water for him, while Han Qingsong washed the dishes and asked, "Is there anything going on in the hospital today?"
Lin Lan: "It's okay, just check Xiao Wang's eyes first. Doctor Liu said that he can do surgery in two years."
"Nothing else?"
"Anything else? No..." Lin Lan hesitated, "Then there's Yang Panpan from Linjiatun. I owe him so much to you last time I went to the hospital. I said I would bring something to thank him, but I forgot. Haha."
"No problem, I'll take it next time." Han Qingsong wiped the washed dishes and piled them neatly on the table. "Nothing else?"
Lin Lan: “No.”
Han Qingsong said, "What is that?"
"What?"
"It fell on the ground today."
Lin Lan immediately said, "Medicine, Xiaowang's medicine."
Out of guilt, she ran to take it out and show it to him, but she found that this time it was all ointment, so there was no small paper bag.
She immediately began to pack up her things in the west room, folding up her clothes to see if there were any torn ones that needed mending, and simply put the previous matter aside and pretended to have forgotten about it.
Looking at Lin Lan busying around there, Han Qingsong: "..."
"Let's go and peel some corn." Han Qingsong called her.
Lin Lan was still thinking about how to talk to Han Qingsong about the issue of contraception. She regretted not taking him to see Dr. Zhuang. It would have been much easier to let the doctor talk to him.
He took her hand and went out, closing the door behind him and heading for the yard.
The bright moon rises from the east, clear and bright, with colorful clouds following beside it, making the autumn night seem even more peaceful and cool.
The two held hands, and he couldn't help but slow down his pace to match her and keep in step.
Lin Lan recalled the night when she just changed her job. He was walking in front of her at a brisk pace and she couldn't even keep up with him at a jog. Now he was actually stretching out his long legs to walk with her. She couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"What are you laughing at?" He was a little curious.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Nothing, I just feel happy being with you." She tilted her head and leaned on his arm.
Han Qingsong was startled, feeling that there was something wrong with these words, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he didn't think much about it and simply reached out and held her in his arms.
Lin Lan thought his embrace was so warm, even more constant temperature than a hot water bottle, so she wouldn't be afraid of the cold in winter.
For a moment, the two of them were immersed in the wonderful feeling and didn't say anything, just walked gently.
They lived in the south-west part of the village. Because the houses of the brigade and production team were nearby, it was a little off the beaten track and there were no street lights, so few people usually walked here.
Suddenly, a low sobbing sound came from the dark bushes nearby.
"You, what do you say?"
"Stop crying!" the man said impatiently, "What else can I do? Just abort it!"
"But the doctor said I'm not in good health. It's dangerous."
"There are so many dangers here. Just listen to their threats. If you don't believe me, I'll beat you up. I've already asked for advice."
Lin Lan: “…” Damn, what kind of scumbag is this who was raised by Jin Ke La, actually fooling girls like this.
Moreover, why does that voice sound so much like Liu Xiuyun?
Lin Lan was a little uncertain. After all, she and Liu Xiuyun had not had much interaction in the past two years.
But considering what she encountered in the county today, she was very suspicious.
She was so angry that her footsteps became heavier. The people in the bushes heard it and immediately panicked.
The man whispered, "Someone is coming. I'm leaving first." Then there were the sounds of hurried footsteps and the woman's rustling departure.
Lin Lan: Damn, what a krypton gold scumbag. It looks like he must be a man from the same village. She thought about the young men of the same age as Liu Xiuyun, but the original owner was not very familiar with the villagers, and she didn't do heavy physical work with men, so she really couldn't think of many.
"Why are men so bad?" Lin Lan said angrily.
Han Qingsong: "...He only represents himself."
"If Xiuyun was deceived, how unfortunate she would be. She is such a good girl. Who is this scumbag?"
Han Qingsong: "Scumbag?"
Lin Lan immediately realized that she was too angry, and because of her closeness to Han Qingsong, she let her guard down and occasionally used some modern vocabulary to arouse his suspicion.
"What was that just now? What's the difference between a man like this and tofu dregs and scum? He is the scum among men, a scumbag!" She silently praised herself for her wit.
Han Qingsong nodded: "Image."
…
When peeling corn, men and women usually sit in separate groups, with children in another group. They all like to find people of the same age to chat about interesting common topics.
Even if some men want to flirt, or some women want to see men, they can't do it openly. They can only try to get close to them by walking around, picking some grass or corn, etc., which makes them easy to be laughed at by others.
But Han Qingsong didn't consider this at all. After arriving, he followed Lin Lan, and Lin Lan found a few wheat ears.
They students all followed the teacher.
Han Qingping and Huo Yuan greeted them when they saw them coming.
A woman heard this and immediately started to murmur, "Wow, these two are even more affectionate than newlyweds. They even came here together."
"You didn't see it, but they came here holding hands."
"Oh my god, if they go out and people don't know that they are a couple, they will be arrested and charged as hooligans."
"Married couples shouldn't do this. It's so immoral and a bad moral."
"That's not the case. I don't pay any attention to the impact."
Dong Huaihua heard this and shouted, "You're almost there, you guys have men too, why are you being so jealous? She's not holding another man's hand, why are you unhappy? Go hold your own man's hand, don't be so jealous here."
After hearing what the women's director said, everyone laughed and said, "We were just joking, haha, don't take it seriously."
Dong Huaihua looked at Liu Xiuyun sitting diagonally opposite her, silently, with her head down, holding a corn in her hand, not moving at all, as if she were turning into a stone statue.
"Xiuyun, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. It won't cost you one more night."
She knew that Liu Xiuyun had taken a day off during the day, and she thought it was probably due to menstrual pain or something else.
Liu Xiuyun hurriedly said that she was fine, but suddenly her stomach churned and she felt nauseous. She quickly stood up and ran away, trying to run as far away as possible to vomit.
She was only paying attention to staying away from the adults, but accidentally got close to the children.
The child has good hearing, so some people started to learn, "嘔~~嘔~~"
Lin Lan: “…” Why are you guys being so dramatic?
She said to Sanwang, "Don't eat random things in the future. If you eat something that upsets your stomach, you will vomit and have diarrhea."
Sanwang: "Did Sister Xiuyun have an upset stomach?"
Lin Lan whispered: "How do you know it's Sister Xiuyun?"
Sanwang looked at the teachers, then leaned over to Lin Lan's ear and said, "She often goes to that educated youth to steal delicious food. I think she has an upset stomach."
Lin Lan: “!!!” Many people think that they can do it without anyone noticing, but they don’t know that they can’t hide it from the little kids in the village, who are simply the best eyes and ears.
Anyone who ignores a child will expose his or her own secret.
She was deeply touched.
She turned her head and whispered to Han Qingsong, "Do you want to quietly remind the director of public security?"
The director of public security is a very upright person. Although he is a village cadre, he is fair. As the deputy of the branch secretary, he is responsible for handling many conflicts in the village. Everyone says that he is impartial.
Lin Lan also had a good impression of him.
If this matter gets out, I'm afraid the Liu family will be unable to hold their heads up.
Moreover, the members were gossiping and talking about her. Given Liu Xiuyun's personality, if the man didn't marry her, I'm afraid something unexpected would really happen.
Tell the director of public security in advance and ask him to communicate with the man. Get engaged and married now and the matter will be suppressed.
But...after hearing what he said just now, she felt that the man was quite a scumbag.
If it were me, I would never get married and would rather abort the child...If my health is really not good, I would give birth to the child and raise it myself.
Don't marry a scumbag even if it's embarrassing.
After all, I am not afraid of being embarrassed, nor am I afraid of people pointing fingers and gossiping about me. Anyway, I have my own enlightenment.
But Liu Xiuyun is different. The Liu family is quite prestigious in the village and they care a lot about face.
They have different values from hers, and their ways of dealing with problems are definitely different. For Liu Xiuyun, the best way is to marry the man first.
As for him not being afraid of being a scumbag, he is under the watchful eyes of the Liu family in Shanzui Village. With so many people watching him, he cannot afford to be a scumbag.
And even if he is a scumbag, she can get a divorce later. Getting pregnant before marriage and being called a slut by some gossips will cause more harm to someone like Liu Xiuyun who cares about her reputation than getting divorced.
After all, it is still the 1970s, and there are still such ridiculous charges as hooliganism and even slutism. Once the members take advantage of the issues to make trouble, I am afraid that criticism and struggle will be inevitable.
She whispered to Han Qingsong in this way, her voice was low and her breath was as sweet as orchid. Han Qingsong dared not move, his ears were burning, but when she blew, it felt cool and indescribably comfortable, numb, and made him want to take her home right now...
After saying that, Lin Lan patted Han Qingsong's arm and said, "Third brother... go quickly."
Third brother~~
It was originally a serious title, but when it came out of her mouth, Han Qingsong suddenly felt very charming and soft, as if she was not calling the same person, not using the same title, and not having the same meaning as others.
She called him "Third Brother" with a soft ending, as if she was acting coquettishly and seducing him.
He shook her hand and said, "Okay." When he stood up, he straightened his collar to cover a part of his body that would not be seen by others.
After a while, Han Qingsong returned to Lin Lan.
Lin Lan thought he would take the initiative to tell her, but he just sat there like a clock, saying nothing and just peeling corn.
She had no choice but to move closer and ask, "Did you say it?"
Han Qingsong: "Call me again."
"What's your name?"
Han Qingsong: “I called you before.”
Lin Lan smiled secretly. You little brat, you're thinking about me just because I call you Third Brother. She pulled his sleeve and asked him to lean closer to her ear. She put her lips close to his ear and whispered, "My dear."
Before she could finish her words, she felt his ears were burning.
Sanwang: "Mom, what interesting things are you telling Dad? I want to listen too!"
Lin Lan: ...This poor kid.
Han Qingping and Huo Yuan also looked at them and smiled.
Lin Lan said seriously, "I've discussed with your father whether you have been naughty recently or not. I'm going to give you a beating when I get home."
Sanwang stood up and said, "I'm much better behaved than my elder brother. I'm going there." As he said that, he stood up and ran faster than a rabbit.
Han Qingsong turned around and whispered to Lin Lan, "Chen Haoran."
Chen Haoran? Is he going to find the scumbag? How long does it take? That's too fast.
Lin Lan thought for a moment, "Oh, isn't that the one where the third master lives?"
Chen Haoran was an educated youth from X Island. He was not tall and had an ordinary appearance, but he was very sweet-mouthed and good at talking, especially at coaxing people. It was said that he had been sent to work in a production team in a neighboring county before, and for some reason he was transferred to their village. He got into trouble as soon as he arrived. Although he did not admit it, many people believed that he did it.
When he transferred here at the end of last year, he was in charge of leading the cattle one day, and a donkey suddenly ran away as if it was startled.
He started chasing it, and he didn't know how he chased it, but he chased it to a high slope, where the leader donkey fell and died.
Although donkeys don't have much work to do and cannot pull carts or plow the fields, they are best at turning mills and are an indispensable animal for the production team.
Han Yongfang and others were extremely sad to see the death of an animal.
Chen Haoran, however, was not sad at all. Instead, he was cheerful and said to other educated youths in private, "It's good to die. If you don't die, can you eat meat?"
Later, there were rumors that he had harmed livestock in other places when he was working in the countryside, and that he had even tricked some members into doing the same thing, killing the livestock so they could eat the meat.
Some members were fooled by him and listened to him and covered for him. Later, there was no evidence and no sentence, but in order to save face, he was transferred here through coordination.
Ever since the donkey died, Han Yongfang has been very concerned about this matter. He ordered that the educated youth should not be assigned important tasks and should just be made to work with everyone else. No important or special tasks should be assigned to them.
With precautions, Chen Haoran never made any big mistakes. Stealing and eating secretly were not really a big mistake. After all, educated youth were all pampered and used to being pampered. They loved to relax and hated to work, and they were lazy and ate a lot. Basically, they had some of these traits.
Now he gave the daughter of the director of public security to... Lin Lan felt that if he didn't get married, she would break his legs!
Article 3!
"Have you talked to the security director?"
Han Qingsong: "He's not at home. He's taking people to the north to look at sweet potatoes."
Lin Lan: "Then I'll talk to the director of women's affairs and ask her to talk to Xiuyun's mother."
This kind of thing should not be known to too many people, but Dong Huaihua knows her limits and is the director of the women's department. When the time comes, she will have to mediate with Chen Haoran and she will have to step in.
Lin Lan called Dong Huaihua aside and started the conversation tactfully, saying only that she saw Liu Xiuyun in the county hospital, without going into details.
Dong Huaihua slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no, I know. I said something was wrong with her recently, but it turns out that... that's it."
Lin Lan looked at her.
Dong Huaihua whispered, "Lin Lan, don't tell anyone."
Lin Lan nodded: "No one told me, so I'm telling you now."
Dong Huaihua: "Oh, you are right. We need to carry out some kind of publicity campaign, otherwise there will be trouble. These educated youth are really bad. They are all lazy and restless all day long, flirting with this and thinking about that."
She hurried to find Liu Xiuyun's mother and Liu Xiuyun.
Lin Lan went back to continue peeling corn.
When the time is almost up, she lets the children go home and go to bed. Children are in the growth stage and she doesn't want to deprive them of sleep.
It was getting dark at night, and she was afraid that Xiaowang would fall, so she wanted to pick him up.
Han Qingsong had already picked him up with one hand and sat him in his arms. Sanwang saw this and jumped up excitedly, "Dad, I, I am still here!"
Han Qingsong: "Go by yourself."
Sanwang touched the scar on his forehead aggrievedly.
Lin Lan quickly said, "I've never held him since I was a child. Let him hold him for once."
When Han Qingsong heard Lin Lan say this, he also reached out his big hand, grabbed Xiaowang's shoulder and lifted him up like an eagle catching a chick.
"Ahhhh~ This is so fun!" Sanwang kicked his legs and showed off to his classmates.
The other children immediately wanted their father to play with them, but they all got slapped in the face without exception.
After they left, some people couldn't stand it anymore, "What time is it? Is it already eight o'clock?"
"It's almost nine, eight-thirty."
"They are the only ones who go to bed early. Who else doesn't go to bed until 10 o'clock?"
During the autumn harvest these days, overtime work at night can earn work points. In order to earn more work points, most members will stay up late and do more work.
However, in order to prevent everyone from staying up late, Han Yongfang assigned everyone to take charge of the work. According to everyone's speed, he would increase the amount by 20% and set a certain number of work points. He would then assign people to take charge of the work and get the points after they finished peeling the skin.
In this way, everyone can work efficiently and not be lazy as they were before when work points were calculated based on time.
When Dong Huaihua heard someone making sarcastic remarks, she said, "They come late and leave early, and they do more work than you who come early and leave late, and you don't reflect on yourself!"
Others were too embarrassed to say anything.
Some people were so careless that they asked why the couple went home so early. They must have something wrong. Several people gathered together and laughed, understanding each other. Some even asked if they should eavesdrop.
In the end, no one dared to go. If they were mistaken for a thief and had their arms cut off, it would be a loss.
It would be better to listen to the conversations of those educated youth. They are city people who know how to have fun and say corny words.
For example, they learned the couplet "Up versus down, soft versus hard, one pillar supporting the sky and two snow-capped peaks, the spring tide cries in the middle of the night and the boat moves across." Although they did not understand it at first, when they went home and thought about it on their wives, they were able to match them one by one, and suddenly they felt that they were half-educated people.
When they got home, Lin Lan asked the children to wash their feet. They didn't have to take a bath every day, but their feet still had to be washed.
Erwang was neither fast nor slow, Dawang was quick and efficient, and Sanwang was fighting like a madman, which made Mai Sui call him vigorously.
After they got on the kang, they lay down and began to sleep soundly, and Lin Lan tidied herself up.
Han Qingsong had already settled Xiaowang down and was leaning against the kang cabinet, looking at something.
Lin Lan ran over in a cotton coat and socks. "What are you looking at in such darkness? Watch your eyes carefully."
She thought Han Qingsong was reading a book.
Han Qingsong flipped his hand, revealing what he was studying in his palm. It was clearly the condoms that Lin Lan had hidden in the kang cabinet.
Oh my god! It is said that women can hide things but men can reveal them. Nothing can be hidden from him.
Lin Lan thought she was calm and composed, but she didn't realize that her cheeks and neck were red. In the light, she looked like a blooming flower in Han Qingsong's eyes.
She pretended to be calm, got on the bed, and got into the quilt. "What are you studying?"
Han Qingsong: "Isn't it yours?" He read it again very seriously: "Condom."
Lin Lan: "...I don't know. Where did it come from? It's not mine."
Han Qingsong held her in his arms and read the instructions in a low voice. His voice was originally low, deep and full of charm. When he lowered his voice like this, the resonance of his chest sounded more like surround sound.
Lin Lan's ears turned red.
Han Qingsong held the thing in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Can this... be used?"
Lin Lan buried her face in his chest and muttered, "That's what the doctor said."
"Doctor? Which one?"
"Dr. Zhuang from the county hospital, the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department, the most authoritative one."
Han Qingsong held up her face with his big hands. "Are you sure this thing is... big enough?"
Lin Lan looked at the condom so close to her that her nose began to sweat. Why are you so fussy about it? Just use it.
"Well, the doctor said... if you don't want to have children, you have to use contraception and not take random medicines. So... then this is the safest." Her voice became smaller and smaller.
How expensive!
Han Qingsong looked at her doubtfully, "Are you sure? Is there no other way?"
Lin Lan: "...Women can get an IUD, but...it will make you more susceptible to illness. The iron ring will rust in your stomach over time and you will get sick."
Han Qingsong said, "We can't let it go. Is there no other way?"
Lin Lan: “…No.”
She couldn't tell him about the sterilization, so she pretended not to know.
Han Qingsong frowned slightly, studied it under the light for a while, and handed it to Lin Lan, "You put it on."
Lin Lan: “!!!”
"How can I wear it? This is for men. Look at the shape, this..."
"You help me put it on, I don't know how." Han Qingsong said confidently, but his voice became lower and lower, and the strength of his hand holding her shoulder involuntarily increased.
Lin Lan has almost turned into a ripe shrimp. I have never worn one before...
Han Qingsong, however, acted as if he was responsible for wearing it if you wanted to, otherwise he wouldn't wear it at all. Lin Lan saw him being so serious and selfless, and she felt so embarrassed that her face was flushed. Her brain froze and she didn't have the energy to think about anything. She just wanted to help him put it on quickly.
I don't know if it's because the size doesn't match, anyway...
In the end, the two of them struggled together, and Lin Lan felt that if they continued to struggle like this, he would probably lose interest.
Who knew that he was enjoying the torment so much and didn't show any signs of fatigue due to irritability.
Finally put it on.
Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Qingsong: “…Uncomfortable.” It’s too tight, the wrong size.
Lin Lan: "Just bear with it, you won't get pregnant. We already have five..."
"I can afford to support ten of them." Han Qingsong's voice was muffled, as if he was strangled by something.
"But I... I feel giving birth is so tiring. If you get pregnant, you can't touch me. Can you bear it for ten months?" She wanted to just tell him not to touch her for three years to see if he would be scared!
Han Qingsong thought about it and felt like he was going crazy, he couldn't stand it.
"So, either you bear with it, or you don't touch me for a year and solve it yourself. You choose one, okay?" Lin Lan gently touched his chest with her slender fingers.
He grabbed her hand that was lighting the fire, kissed it, moved it, and then stopped, "It's too tight, it makes me unable to breathe."
"You'll get used to it." Lin Lan comforted him, secretly happy in her heart. Would daily exercise be changed to weekly exercise?
So clever!
After a while, "It's like wearing a raincoat, so far away from you." His voice became more muffled and he hugged her tighter.
Lin Lan: You got it right, this is its raincoat. However, it is a bit too thick, and it is as thick as latex surgical gloves.
After a while... Lin Lan could no longer speak and could only adjust herself to follow the rhythm.
After a while... changed positions... Lin Lan: "...what?" After so long...
Another half day passed... after changing several postures... it seemed that there was still no intention of stopping.
Lin Lan felt like she was going crazy. Why wasn't it over yet?
"That...you..." She couldn't ask.
He: "...With this thing, it won't get better until dawn."
Lin Lan:………………What are you trying to do?
