Xiaowang in the west room was still sleeping. Maisui on the north kang in the east room got up to see the excitement and smiled gloatingly at Sanwang.
Lin Lan took the notebook and came over, ready to record. "Tell me the truth."
"My brother..." Sanwang hesitated, as if weighing what would happen if he said it out loud.
He was fully awake and understood the situation.
Lin Lan glared at him and said, "Think about it, there's big meat on the left, and there's twigs on the right to fry your butt meat and copy the text!"
Sanwang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, big brother. Parents are so cunning. They knew everything even though I didn't say anything. They tortured me into confessing."
"He...he...go...go..." Sanwang's eyes rolled around and he listened outside to see if his elder brother had come back.
"Speak!" Lin Lan pretended to laugh, "You little brat, I can't cure you!"
Sanwang was so frightened that he stuck to the wall, looking at the situation.
Lin Lan pointed at him with her pencil, "You can't climb up the wall even if you turn into a gecko! I'll nail you to the pillar of shame!"
"He went to play poker!" Sanwang said in one breath and quickly closed his eyes.
Lin Lan frowned, "Play poker?"
Sanwang nodded and squinted at her, "Yeah."
"Just play poker, why are you so scared?" Lin Lan wondered.
The custom in the local countryside is to play poker, not mahjong.
Country people don't have much entertainment. In their spare time, men like to gather together to play poker, and even women play it.
However, a few years ago, when the sports movement was launched, all the poker cards in the village were burned and people were not allowed to play poker anymore because some men were too idle to work properly and only thought about playing poker, and more importantly, they gambled for money.
They gambled all night and slacked off during the day. In a rage, Han Yongfang led his men to block them several times, burned their poker cards, and paraded them through the streets. After that, he ordered the patrol team to take turns patrolling all night, arresting anyone who gambled.
With all the beating and catching, the villagers no longer want to play.
But in some other brigades gambling is rampant, especially during the winter when farmers are idle.
Although everyone was poor, they were a little better off after the distribution of grain in the autumn. They didn't play big games, winning or losing a few cents, and in the end it was just a few dimes at most.
But sometimes people are greedy and will play big, and in the end there will be several bills, and some people may even lose everything.
However, considering the current living standard, this is still very high, so Han Yongfang would not allow it, not even a penny.
If you want to play, you can play something that doesn’t cost money, such as the Five Fortunes chess played in the fields, The World is Too Equal, etc.
Even if you play poker, you can give up, but you cannot win or lose money, otherwise it will be considered gambling.
Now she has organized an interesting publicity team, so you won’t see anyone playing cards or gambling in the village. Unexpectedly, Da Wang is able to do it.
Where did this guy learn this?
I guess I learned it from Han Qinghua before.
Lin Lan suddenly remembered what was said in the original plot. Da Wang followed Han Qinghua at the beginning, got to know hooligans like Zhao Jianshe, and later became a local bully through eating, drinking and gambling.
Could it be that if she didn't change the plot, Da Wang would still be heading down that path?
Her heart immediately felt heavy, her expression became solemn, and her beauty tightened.
Sanwang rarely saw his mother with such an expression, and his heart immediately twitched, "Mom~~I, I admit it, my brother was playing poker and playing with money..."
Lin Lan gritted her teeth but still tried to keep smiling.
Sanwang was so scared that he was shaking, "Mom, don't be angry, brother, he, he didn't lose any money."
Is this a matter of winning or losing? ! !
Lin Lan quickly adjusted her mood. Seeing Sanwang's frightened look, she immediately smiled and patted Sanwang's head. "Little San brother, you have done a great deed by being honest. Mother will give you a credit. When we share the pork, you can eat your big brother's share!"
Sanwang was not happy, but had a bitter face. Oh my god, this is going to kill him.
Oh, why hasn’t my brother come back yet?
He watched Lin Lan go out. He felt that his mother's back was murderous, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, put on his cotton socks and slipped out.
Mai Sui called him, "Sanwang, where are you going?"
Sanwang bowed to her and said, "Sister, dear sister, please save me."
Mai Sui waved his hands: "I can't beat my elder brother, you should go and beg your father."
Sanwang ran away in a flash. Seeing Lin Lan standing at the door waiting for his elder brother, he quietly slipped past the haystack and ran straight to the west and then north to find Dawang.
Da Wang and Er Wang are running with Han Qingsong.
Although Han Qingsong changed his career, he never missed his daily training.
Now he runs with Da Wang and Er Wang. Han Qingyun sometimes comes too, and Zhuzi and a few other kids follow them, but they fall behind after a while.
In October, Han Qingsong wore a military vest inside and a military uniform outside. He was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, which attracted many people to take a look at him on the street whenever they had nothing to do.
Da Wang and Er Wang naturally couldn't wear cotton jackets, so they both wore coats.
Da Wang was fine, but Er Wang was shivering from the cold, but he felt warm when he ran.
Sanwang was moving back and forth behind the haystacks on the roadside. When he saw Dawang coming, he started making smacking sounds to signal his elder brother.
Da Wang saw this and was about to stop, but Han Qingsong shouted at him, "Keep running!"
Da Wang had no choice but to continue, and San Wang was extremely anxious.
Han Qingsong ran on the spot, looked at Sanwang on the side of the road, and waved at him.
Seeing that he was discovered, Sanwang had to rub his way out.
Han Qingsong: "What are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Sanwang: ...hiding from you.
"Look...look at you guys running."
Han Qingsong: "You want to run too?"
Sanwang was about to say no, but Han Qingsong said, "Take off your padded jacket and follow me!"
Sanwang: “!!!!”
No!!!
Han Qingsong was not joking with him. Since he was able to get up and was eager to try, he would not refuse Sanwang's joining. Seeing that Sanwang was still in a dilemma, he immediately shouted, "Follow the order!"
Sanwang was so scared that he quickly took off his cotton shirt.
A light breeze blew, oh my, this biting cold wind in the morning.
Han Qingsong held his cotton jacket and shouted at him to run, and while he was running he corrected his running posture, frequency, breathing, etc.
Sanwang was so cold that he was shivering, listening to Hedie's orders, and wondering if his elder brother was being held hostage by his mother. He was simply exhausted and couldn't be in any better condition.
When he was caught up by another Dawang, he immediately cried out in a suppressed and distorted voice, "Exposed~~"
Da Wang turned his head and looked at him, wanting to slow down and ask clearly.
Han Qingsong: “Even speed!”
Although Da Wang didn't want to obey, his body was more likely to follow Heidi's orders than his soul, and he subconsciously ran away at a steady speed.
Sanwang shouted angrily: "Exposed!!!"
Da Wang shivered for some reason and suddenly became nervous.
He had finished running, and this was the last lap. When he reached the south, he turned home, but found Lin Lan standing at the intersection, holding the reed branch in her hand, tapping it gently in her palm, and looking at him with a look that said, "Boy, you're finished."
Da Wang: ………The Black Hand duo, male and female thieves, are back in action.
After running home, I entered the yard and stood still, continuing to recite the house rules.
Only then can we disperse and do some finishing exercises, such as leg presses.
Then I got a towel and dipped it in hot water to wipe my body, then got dressed and prepared to eat and go to school.
Lin Lan saw San Wang running in with a hissing laugh and raised her eyebrows, "Hey, little San brother, you are so motivated?"
Sanwang wanted to die, his father must have done it on purpose! I never thought that mom was the culprit!
"Wuwu, mother~~~I am your biological son..." Sanwang jumped a few times and wanted to put on his clothes.
Han Qingsong: "Stand still and recite the house rules!"
Sanwang started to recite the poem at random, but was hit twice, neither too hard nor too light, and corrected himself immediately.
It was almost time, so I went into the house with my two brothers.
He didn't even bother to wash it, and just threw himself on the kang, "Mom, it's over, the good days are over."
Da Wang sat on a stool and looked at him gloomily, "San Wang?"
Sanwang sat up and said, "Brother!"
The two of them exchanged glances and communicated silently, and the information was passed on.
Erwang: "What kind of stupid riddle are you guys telling?"
Mai Sui had already prepared the meal, and when he heard what they said, he couldn't help laughing.
Sanwang: "Sister, you are so bad!"
Mai Sui snorted, "Why didn't you think of me when you were eating steamed buns?"
Sanwang: “We didn’t eat!” He suddenly covered his mouth after saying that. It was over, he was exposed.
Da Wang looked at him helplessly, but did not blame him. He even rubbed his head.
Mai Sui: "Oh, you're done."
Sanwang wailed, "I'm not feeling well. I'm not feeling well at all. Ah... who... who of you can help me... pay... the party dues... ah..."
Mai Sui was so happy that he kept hitting him, "Stop acting!"
Everything went on as usual during the meal. Nothing could be seen from Han Qingsong's expression. He was basically like this to everyone except Lin Lan.
Lin Lan, however, kept looking at Da Wang and San Wang with a fake smile, and when they looked up at her, she smiled gently, as if the sinister smile just now had nothing to do with her.
Sanwang is no longer able to do so.
Although Da Wang still had a frown on his face, he was already feeling uneasy and nervous inside.
"Hurry up and go to school. Don't be late."
This is not fighting?
Da Wang and San Wang looked at each other and immediately ran out.
Mai Sui led Xiao Wang, and Er Wang carried his schoolbag.
Since Xiaowang went to the county seat yesterday, he seems to have gained some new insights and has been studying his new harmonica.
It was played fluently and freely, with clear and mellow sounds, and with more variations and layers than before.
"The kid is playing the flute even better." Lin Lan kissed him, "Go to school."
Xiao Wang waved to Lin Lan, "Bye, Mom~"
After the children went to school, Lin Lan winked at Han Qingsong.
Han Qingsong looked at her.
Lin Lan looked outside and went to close the door to prevent anyone from coming.
She pushed Han Qingsong into the west room and closed the door.
Han Qingsong: “!!” Something happened.
"Third brother~~" Lin Lan called him softly. She had to tell him about Da Wang carefully so as not to be heard and cause trouble, and she also couldn't anger him so as not to drag Da Wang home and beat him up.
Han Qingsong's ears turned red, he stared at her, hesitant to speak: "..."
"Let me tell you..." Lin Lan pulled his head down and whispered in his ear.
Han Qingsong felt a warm current flowing through his chest, but he obediently lowered his head and put his cheek against her mouth.
She clasped her hands to his ears and breathed sweetly. He was somewhat unable to control himself and gripped the edge of the kang with both hands.
"Well..." He decided to speak.
Lin Lan: “Hmm?”
"Not now," he said.
Lin Lan: "Why not? Are you in a hurry to go to work? It won't take you more than a few minutes, it will be over soon."
Han Qingsong: "...How many minutes? Are you sure?"
Lin Lan nodded and said affirmatively: "It really only takes a few minutes."
He pressed her against the wall and kissed her. "Your body...is not well yet."
Although excited, he was very restrained and tolerant.
Lin Lan felt that someone was arrogantly confronting her, as if he was not satisfied with being criticized for a few minutes and wanted to prove himself.
Lin Lan: “………………” Did you misunderstand something?
"I said Dawang."
Han Qingsong said "Oh" but kept his previous posture. After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "Have you found out the truth?"
Lin Lan looked at him cautiously: "...Don't be angry."
Han Qingsong: "...He broke the law?"
"That's not the case. I was just playing poker with someone." She smiled a little forcedly.
Han Qingsong touched her face with his big hands and gently pinched her cheeks. "Don't laugh so hard. What else?"
If she had just been playing poker, she wouldn't have done this. She must have committed something bigger.
Lin Lan: "I played poker and spent some money. I need a lesson!"
Han Qingsong's face suddenly darkened and his eyes became cold and hard.
Lin Lan felt the temperature drop. She rubbed the back of her hands and said, "Da Wang has improved a lot now. But the issue of playing with money must not be tolerated. Education must be given... education is the main thing."
Han Qingsong held her to his chest, then lifted her up and said, "Leave it to me." Then he let her go, opened the door and walked out.
Lin Lan hurriedly caught up, "Remember, this is your own child! Don't beat him to death!"
Han Qingsong walked to the door and looked back at her, waving his hand, "I'm going to work."
Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that Han Qingsong was very angry. She was really afraid that he would not listen to reason and would beat Da Wang up first.
With his strong hands and if he was angry, she was really afraid that he would hurt the child.
But Da Wang must be educated about the matter of gambling at such a young age!
Han Qingsong left home on his bicycle and went to school to find Han Qingping.
The children were in class, and were originally studying in a scattered manner, with some making noises and some talking. But when they saw Han Qingsong coming over, they immediately sat up straight and started reading aloud.
Han Qingping was startled at the podium, wondering why the children were so serious when he suddenly became so charming. Then he saw Han Qingsong walking over with big strides.
"Qingsong." He went forward to greet him.
Han Qingsong greeted him, strode into the classroom, and pressed his palm to make a stop gesture.
The classroom suddenly fell silent. The neat and uniform state made Han Qingping suspect that this was his student.
Han Qingsong stood there, with his hands behind his back, tall and straight, handsome yet sharp. He slowly scanned every classmate, and when his eyes swept over Dawang, Dawang's heart skipped a beat, but he endured it.
Fortunately, Han Qingsong only stayed on his face for two seconds, and then looked at Sanwang, Mai Sui, Erwang, and Xiaowang who was sandwiched in the middle.
Xiaowang raised his little face and saw his father was so serious, so he also frowned and looked serious.
After scanning every student, Han Qingsong spoke: "The Public Security Bureau has been strictly investigating gambling recently. If any of your family members or friends are gambling secretly, you must report it immediately. Once the clues are verified to be true, the Public Security Bureau will give rewards."
Xiaowang raised his hand.
Han Qingsong looked at him and said, "Speak."
Xiao Wang stood up and said in a baby voice, "Dad... Director Han, may I ask what gambling is?"
He wanted to call him dad, but then he remembered that everyone outside called him Director Han, so he quickly changed his words.
Han Qingsong motioned him to sit down. "This is a good question. Gambling is playing with money, but it is not limited to playing with money. For example, playing poker..." He glanced at it and continued, "Throwing dice to play with money, chicken fighting, cricket fighting, all kinds of games, using money or other items as chips, that is playing with money gambling, now severely crack down on it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Students, please pay attention. There will be rewards for reporting. Okay, that’s all." Then he turned and left.
Han Qingping chased after him and whispered, "Director Han, is this true?"
Han Qingsong: "Of course, gambling is as bad as stealing, or even worse."
Han Qingping nodded, "I have a clue."
Han Qingsong talked to him as they walked.
It turns out that gambling is on the rise again in the village, especially for those who used to be idle and had to participate in collective labor after the land reform and several movements. They have always been eager to gamble. However, the economy was not good in the past few years, and everyone had difficulty in eating, so no one gambled.
As the economy has improved in recent years, they have started to show their true colors again. He mentioned a few names.
Han Qingsong said: "Teacher, this clue is very timely. We will take it seriously and send people to investigate and collect evidence."
Han Qingping was very happy that he could also contribute. After watching Han Qingsong leave, he said happily, "He is such a good cadre who knows how to do practical things for the people."
He came back to class happily and praised Han Qingsong again, "You all should learn from Director Han, study hard, and serve the people!"
A student said: "Teacher, after finishing junior high school, we will go home to repair the earth. What does it matter if we study well or not? After all, repairing the earth is also serving the people and paying public rations."
Everyone laughed.
Han Qingping slapped the table and said, "Those who study well can become cadres or something. When they select talents, they naturally want those who study well. If you are educated, you will be able to grow crops especially well."
"Teacher, you are well educated, so farming must be a good choice for you. Why don't you do that?" Children are really good at pestering others.
Han Qingping took Han Qingsong as an example and taught him how to learn from him.
"Teacher, Director Han is a retired soldier, he didn't graduate from school!"
Han Qingping: "...be quiet!"
I can't control you bastards!
Sanwang was poking at Dawang from below, whispering, "Brother, Dad... did you know?"
Da Wang was also running wildly in his heart, pursing his lips and looking cold, "It's because you are a traitor!"
Sanwang said with a bitter face, "Brother, mother said that those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated severely. If father finds out, we will both be finished... at least..."
The eldest brother took the punishment himself and was able to escape a beating. Although running was also very torturous, he felt that the eldest brother would definitely not escape a severe beating.
Da Wang’s face was as dark as thunder.
When no one was around, Sanwang whispered to him, "Brother, I... haven't told you everything yet. I just said I'm playing poker for money."
Da Wang glanced at him with a deep and sad look in his eyes. "Fool, idiot, what else can you leave behind now that you have opened your mouth?"
Haven’t you heard that Director Han has a dog’s nose? Don’t let him smell anything, otherwise he will investigate you thoroughly.
How did Zhao Anzang, the captain of the Yellow River Brigade, and some others end up like this?
Da Wang is also upset. What should he do? Deny it? Or confess? How much should he confess?
But he was prepared to be beaten in the morning, but his mother and father didn't beat him in the morning. Now his father came and gave him a lecture, and he was prepared to be beaten at noon. As a result, Han Qingsong didn't come home for lunch at noon. Han Qingyun came back and said that he had gone to the county.
Da Wang prepared to be beaten at night.
As a result, Han Qingsong came back in the evening. Although he looked very serious, he did not beat him. He ate and slept as usual.
The most terrifying thing is to pull meat with a blunt knife!
When going to bed at night, Da Wang actually suffered from insomnia!
I am a person who can fall asleep as soon as I lie down, but now I am suffering from insomnia.
When I can't sleep, it's so uncomfortable to listen to others snoring.
Sanwang, that kid, was clearly a traitor, but he was sleeping soundly. He was smacking his mouth as he ate something delicious, and his hands and feet were performing all kinds of martial arts. He must be dreaming about protecting his food.
Finally, I fell asleep with great difficulty, but had nightmares the whole night. I was either beaten by my father, or glared at by my mother, or laughed at by the villagers who rolled their eyes and mocked me.
Finally, as the chickens crowed, he woke up and felt his head was in a fog, as if the little deer in his heart had given birth and ran into his head.
Han Qingsong had already gotten up and was blowing the whistle softly, calling on the people to do morning exercises.
Da Wang and Er Wang got up and dressed immediately, but San Wang was still sleeping soundly.
Da Wang got angry and tore off the quilt, revealing San Wang's bare buttocks.
The kang that was heated by the fire last night was now cold. As the quilt was pulled away, a cold wind blew, which froze Sanwang so much that he sat up and said, "The house is leaking!"
Da Wang sneered, "It's time to do morning exercises."
Sanwang pretended to cry, "Brother, please spare me."
Han Qingsong's cold voice came from outside, "1, 2..."
Da Wang and Er Wang ran out immediately.
Sanwang was so scared that he quickly put on his clothes.
In the past, when it was the big and second prosperous days, Han Qingsong could only count to 3 at most. Today, because of the third prosperous day, he counted to 5 and continued to count to 6...
Mai Sui: "Sanwang, hurry up, don't delay me from going back to sleep. One minute is worth ten minutes of comfort right now."
Sanwang ran out aggrieved, and Han Qingsong stopped counting.
Da Wang and San Wang are already doing warm-up exercises.
Han Qingsong personally taught Sanwang some simple movements.
Lin Lan knocked on the window with a broom, "Go outside to warm up next time, don't be outside the window, it's noisy!"
Han Qingsong waved his hand and the children ran out. He said, "I know. Go to sleep well."
Lin Lan pursed her lips and smiled secretly. She was putting pressure on Da Wang.
She had never expressed dissatisfaction with the noise before, but after what happened today, Da Wang must have thought about it a lot.
Sure enough, Da Wang was thinking as he ran that morning. The deer in his heart and mind had tortured him so much that he had no energy to think. In the end, it was a mess. He gave up and thought: Forget it, I'd better turn myself in, so as to avoid being hurt by a blunt knife.
After running and returning home, he finished his exercise yesterday, and stood upright outside the main hall door, "Report, I want to turn myself in!"
Lin Lan, who was cooking with Mai Sui in the room, couldn't hold back her laughter, but didn't want to laugh out loud, so she quickly ran into the west room, her shoulders shaking from holding back her laughter. Da Wang was finally tricked.
Mai Sui glanced at the west room with worry, then turned to Da Wang and complained, "Brother, you made our mother so angry that she has been feeling uncomfortable these past few days. She can't eat or sleep well every day."
Han Qingsong outside had a blank expression on his face, but his drooping eyelashes revealed his thoughts, but fortunately he didn't laugh.
Lin Lan lay in his arms at night and murmured that to deal with a child like Da Wang, you can't just rely on beatings. He is not afraid of beatings and will just play tough. Anyway, you can't beat him to death.
He will keep fighting with you!
So you have to let him wonder, make him afraid, and make him lose his composure.
That way, we can control him.
She gets agitated when she gets excited.
Han Qingsong paused and looked up at Dawang, "What are you surrendering for?"
Although Da Wang mustered up the courage to shout it out, if he really confessed, he would subconsciously want to make excuses. This is also a normal reaction of people who have made mistakes.
Han Qingsong saw his hesitant expression and knew what he was thinking. He said coldly, "A man should take responsibility for what he did. If you want to turn yourself in, you should do it straightforwardly and not be secretive."
After being yelled at by him, Da Wang gritted his teeth and confessed, "On the day I went to the county, I didn't buy any cookies. I took two yuan to play poker."
After saying this, he lowered his head slightly to show his confession.
Lin Lan came out and asked, "So you guys are always hungry?"
Sanwang saw that his elder brother had confessed, and immediately jumped out and said, "No, we are eating buns."
Lin Lan: "Where do you get the money to buy buns?"
Da Wang: “I won.”
Lin Lan: “…” Oh, I forgot. I thought he would lose if he played with money, but he actually won.
Sanwang can now enjoy the feast. "My elder brother is amazing. He won five dollars with one dollar. We spent one dollar to buy fifteen big buns! So delicious!"
Lin Lan: ...These two naughty kids, they won five dollars, but they still have to use my money to eat the big buns! Humph!
Oh no, that’s not right. Let the naughty kid lead you astray. The point is that you shouldn’t gamble money, no matter whether you win or lose!
Sanwang smacked his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the taste of the buns. "I wanted to bring them to you, but my eldest brother said the fillings would show, so we had to eat them all."
Until now, he thought that leaking filling meant the stuffing leaking out of the buns, but he never imagined it was the leaking filling that was discovered by his parents when he was gambling.
Hit it, you really hit it, you can do it!
Lin Lan looked around for something to beat the child, and Mai Sui handed her a broom.
Lin Lan immediately couldn't bear to let it go and quickly put it down.
Sanwang: "Mom is so kind, she doesn't want to hit me."
Lin Lan said coldly: "...This is the broom your father just made. Of course I can't bear to part with it! Bring me a stick!"
Xiaowang brought the fire stick over.
Thumb thick.
Lin Lan weighed it and found it a bit thick. "This is my favorite fire stick. Don't break it. Change it!"
Erwang came over from outside with Jing Tiao.
Sanwang suddenly said, "Second brother, brothers are like brothers, why are you so anxious to hurt each other!"
Lin Lan: ...Wow, you have such a great achievement that you can even come up with a poem.
Being hit with a reed stick is very painful. That time, when she was whipping Yu Mole, she was trying too hard and accidentally hit herself. It was so painful.
She searched in the yard and pulled out a corn stalk.
She laughed and said, "Those are so thin, it's not satisfying! I have to find a thick one!"
Erwang smiled. The corn cobs were dried out by the sun and crispy inside. They would break if hit. Beating Dawang was not as itchy as pinching him.
Han Qingsong took the corn stalks from Lin Lan's hand, put his arm around her waist, and patted her back. "Okay, don't be angry. Let me take care of the beatings."
Da Wang's expression suddenly changed.
Although his mother yelled loudly, she changed the sticks one by one and finally switched to corn stalks. It was obvious that she didn't want to beat him. She was probably afraid that his father would beat him too hard, so she beat him herself.
Now that my father has taken action, it seems that I can't escape.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Everyone is mortal since ancient times, and he is still a good man eleven years later!
"Take off your pants!" Han Qingsong's voice was cold, much colder than the breeze in October.
Da Wang silently unbuckled his belt, took off his pants, and lay on the wall.
Han Qingsong said in a clear voice: "Gambling, less than two dollars, fine, confiscation, 15 lashes, more than two dollars, 30 lashes, fine. Turn yourself in, minus ten, leaving twenty. Remember this."
Da Wang gritted his teeth and hummed.
Han Qingsong took out the three-foot-long reed branch. He didn't even raise his hand, but just a slight shake of his wrist made the "swoosh, snap" sounds.
The sound of the twigs hitting the flesh is so painful that it makes one's teeth ache.
Da Wang clenched his teeth in pain.
Han Qingsong gave Erwang a look.
Erwang immediately went to find a corn cob and gave it to him, "Big brother, chew it."
Da Wang had no choice but to bite it, gnashing his teeth.
After a pause, there was the second "pop".
Da Wang's forehead began to sweat.
He thought it would be better to finish the fight in one breath instead of pausing for a while after each fight, which would only amplify the pain infinitely.
Lin Lan originally thought that there was a loophole in Da Wang's words, but before she could figure out what was wrong, Han Qingsong had already hit her.
After being hit three times, Lin Lan couldn't bear it anymore. Her heart was aching. Xiao Wang didn't dare to look and just lay on Lin Lan's legs. Mai Sui's eyes were red and she lay on Lin Lan's arm wiping her tears.
Sanwang's tears flowed, "Wa wa wa... Mom, Dad, please stop hitting me, I'm also wrong, hit me too... Wa wa wa..."
Although she felt distressed, Lin Lan did not run over to protect him.
She also felt that Da Wang needed a real lesson.
You don't have to spank your children every day. You have to spank them at the right spots. This way, one spanking is equivalent to a hundred spankings.
Today's meal was just right.
After hitting him six times, Lin Lan shouted, "Report!"
Han Qingsong paused for a moment, but still hit her once, then looked up at her and said, "Speak."
Lin Lan wiped the sweat off her face, her voice choking, "Can I... make amends for my crime? Fortunately, I haven't made an irreparable mistake. As long as I correct it in time, can I... make amends for my crime? Da Wang..."
Da Wang sniffed. It really hurts! He used to think it hurt when his father hit him. Bullshit. It just itched at that time. It hurts now.
He nodded and said "hmm", indicating that he was willing to make amends for his crime.
Lin Lan said, "Director Han, look, Da Wang is willing to make amends for his crime. Give him a chance."
Han Qingsong held the reed branch and said, "Ten points will be deducted for making up for the crime. There are still three points left."
Lin Lan knew that although he usually listened to her in everything, he would not be swayed when it came to matters of principle and right and wrong.
She said nothing more.
It's already less than twenty hits, only ten hits, which is already a great face.
Da Wang should be able to remember things.
After the last three blows, Han Qingsong said, "This time I'll give you ten lashes. There won't be a next time. Even two dollars or two cents won't do! You can make money, but you have to use normal means. Gambling, stealing, cheating, etc. are not allowed!"
Da Wang spat out the corn cob and said loudly, "Remember this!"
Lin Lan took a look and saw ten red lines on Da Wang's buttocks, some of which were broken and bleeding. But she knew Han Qingsong was showing mercy because the lines were arranged one by one and there was no overlapping wounds.
If it was superimposed, with his strength, there would definitely be blood all over the place.
She endured the pain and said, "Go into the house and let Erwang apply some medicinal wine on you."
She also has the medicinal wine that Han Qingsong brought back, which can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and inflammation. It has a lot of uses and the effect is quite good.
But now that the skin is broken, it will definitely hurt more when I apply it.
Erwang helped Dawang into the house to apply medicine, while Maisui was responsible for preparing breakfast.
After beating, Han Qingsong took a piece of cloth to wipe the twigs clean and put them in a fixed place.
The reed branch had been rubbed by his hands until it was shiny and smooth.
When he came back, Lin Lan whispered, "Should we give him a day off?"
How can I sit with my butt like that?
Han Qingsong said, "Just play aside, so you don't miss school."
Lin Lan: “…” Well, now I finally know how powerful he is.
She lost no time in saying to the children, "Now you know what happens if you really make a mistake, right? Your parents won't show mercy. Children need their parents to take care of them. If your parents don't take care of minor mistakes, when you commit a crime, the police will take care of you, and it will be too late by then."
Xiao Wang nodded vigorously, "Just like the four dads."
Lin Lan bent down and kissed the top of his head, "That's it."
Xiao Wang immediately ran to the kang in the east room and whispered in Da Wang's ear, "Brother, Dad and Mom are doing this for your own good. They're afraid you'll be arrested. Don't learn from the old man."
Da Wang was shocked. He... really learned this from Han Qinghua.
Erwang and Sanwang helped Dawang apply the medicated wine. Erwang was careful and gentle, while Sanwang was clumsy. Also, because he felt guilty for betraying his eldest brother, he inevitably applied uneven strength, which made Dawang feel even more painful.
When Lin Lan saw this, she took what Sanwang had in his hand and told them to go eat.
Her hands were slender and deft, so she wiped the wound much more gently and it didn't hurt Dawang that much.
"Da Wang." Lin Lan turned on the serious mother mode.
Da Wang snorted.
"You got beaten and you hate your parents..."
"No." Da Wang gritted his teeth, it hurt.
Lin Lan wiped away tears. "It's okay to hold a grudge. Everyone has a childhood. When I was in my early teens, I thought I was awesome. I wanted to be different from my parents. I wanted to be capable and make a name for myself. It's normal for young people to have ambitions. But you have to take the right path. If you take the wrong path, you will ruin yourself and your family."
Da Wang said nothing.
Lin Lan continued, "Just remember it. When you grow up and experience more, you will see things more clearly. You will also know that your parents beat you for your own good. If you walk on the right path, you will be glad that your parents take care of you. If you walk on the wrong path, you will regret not listening to your parents."
She sighed and said softly, "No matter how many paths you have now, no matter how you choose in the future, in the end, you can only take one path. Either be an upright and capable person, or be an evil and unruly person."
After saying that, she shut up, wiped the medicated wine, covered him with a sheet and then a quilt, and let him think about it himself.
Outside at the dining table, everyone was eating in silence. Even Wangwang didn't make any sound. He just ate silently.
Sanwang's eyes were still full of tears, and big drops of tears dripped into the bowl.
Lin Lan scooped a spoonful of eggs for him and said, "Little Third Brother, it's right for you to confess and be lenient. Don't put pressure on me. If you don't confess, and my brother makes a bigger mistake in the future, it will be your fault. You stopped my brother from making a bigger mistake, and our family thanks you."
Xiaowang rummaged in his pocket and put the candy he was holding in his pocket into Sanwang's pocket, "Little San, this is for you."
Lin Lan called Sanwang "Little Third Brother" just to make it seem more intimate and less serious, because Han Qingsong was the third brother, so he was the Little Third Brother.
After hearing what his mother said, Sanwang felt less guilty. He sniffed and said, "In the future, I will remind my elder brother not to make mistakes."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "What a good child." She looked at Erwang and Mai Sui again, "You are both good children of your parents. You are good students, kind and polite. You are also good children of the Party and the people. You will also be good people when you enter society."
She got goosebumps from what she said, but now she had to add a few slogans, which made it more exciting and the children would feel more deeply.
Normally, the branch secretary would organize everyone to study quotations, ask for instructions in the morning and report in the evening, and shouting slogans was a must.
Sure enough, the faces of the children became firm, with determination in their eyes, as if they were ready to carry the explosive bag at any time.
Lin Lan: “…”
Being easily brainwashed and instigated is also a defect. We need to educate them to have the ability to make their own judgments and not to blindly believe in others.
Da Wang finally got up, ate, and went to school, but his butt was sore that his appetite was affected, and he didn't dare to sit up hard.
Fortunately, Han Qingsong took this into consideration and only spanked one side of the buttocks, leaving the other side still able to sit.
After dinner the children went to school.
Da Wang limped along the way, but he was determined to remain strong and gritted his teeth, trying to move as normal as possible.
But he was only an eleven-year-old child after all. Although he was precocious and taller, he was still a half-grown child and could not hold on for more than a few minutes.
Erwang took the initiative to support him, "Brother, I'll support you."
Da Wang still tried to show off, "No need."
If someone saw him on the street, he would feel embarrassed and feel extremely embarrassed.
It seems that the price of doing wrong is too high. Not only is there the torment before being interrogated, not only is there the torture of conscience in front of his parents, but there is also the sight of his mother sobbing and wiping away tears.
Well, it’s not just about getting beaten, it’s also about not being able to sit or lie down, not being able to move, being pointed at, being talked about, and when I enter the classroom, my classmates will definitely be curious...
It's just a lot of trouble.
Alas, the cost of making mistakes is too high!
Student Da Wang has trouble sitting, standing and walking. He cannot be late for morning exercises and he cannot slow down. It seems like torture no matter how you look at it.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Lin Lan also felt sorry for him, and tried every way to make delicious food for him, and even gave him an egg in the morning.
But he knew that his family couldn't afford boiled eggs, so he refused to eat them himself.
Seeing Da Wang gritting his teeth and persevering, Lin Lan even murmured to Han Qingsong at night, "You say, are we a little too awesome?"
The satisfied Director Han hugged his wife and said, "There's nothing wrong with being punished for making mistakes."
She is just soft-hearted. While she advises Sanwang not to feel guilty, she herself feels guilty every day, and he is happy to comfort her.
But he was a little unsure. If Da Wang confessed tomorrow morning, would he still beat him so hard?
I should be able to do that. After all, my strength is acquired through years of training in the army.
The two of them murmured for a while, and Lin Lan said she wanted to get up and clean up.
He turned over and lay down, pulling her against his chest, "...We have to wash anyway, why not do it again..."
Lin Lan: “…………That’s not enough.”
"There are still two left. We have to buy them anyway, so let's use them all." Director Han is now thick-skinned enough.
Lin Lan: “!!” What the hell, just buy it and use it up.
