Han Jinyu didn't understand what princess syndrome was, but she understood when a fool talked about dreams.

"Lin Lan, what do you mean!" She glared at him.

Lin Lan: "It's just what it says. Come on, hurry up and don't get in my way. I'm warning you, don't come to me and poke my eyes when your brothers are not at home. I don't want to see you."

Aunt Han was still immersed in the role she had set for herself, which was to interfere in her brothers' family affairs and act as a mediator for conflicts in her natal family. After hearing what Lin Lan said, she was unable to adjust for a while. "Qingsong, my dear daughter-in-law, I think it's not right for you to do this. You are a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law should be filial to her parents-in-law and take care of her brothers and sisters..."

Before she could finish, Lin Lan poked her with the rolling pin and pushed her out. "Hurry up and leave. I have to prepare dinner for the children."

Aunt Han said casually, "That's perfect, let's eat here."

Lin Lan glanced at her and said, "Your face is not big enough."

Han Jinyu: "Why isn't it big enough? Your mother's family can come to eat, but my brother's family can't come?"

Lin Lan was getting impatient. "Why don't you go check on Sun Yaowu? The target is about to blow up."

Han Jinyu said angrily: "You cursed me."

She hadn't decided on Sun Yaowu at first, relying on the fact that she was the director's sister, so she wanted to be more selective. Now that Lin Lan said that Sun Yaowu was going to brag, she was unhappy. She was the only one who could choose others, how could others choose her?

She grabbed the bag of candy on the stove and ran away like the wind.

Aunt Han looked at it and felt a little unsure, "Qingsong's wife, let me tell you..."

"Stop talking to me and go too. Your brother has no say in work matters, so don't worry about it. Your brother has even less say in family matters, so don't worry about it. Hurry up and leave." Lin Lan said as she went outside and took out three ribs from the vat.

The ones that were distributed to my family at the end of October were eaten up early. These are the three that Lin Mei sent me. In addition, she got four more when Lin Lan and her friends went to the commune to perform. They are all frozen outside. I plan to use them to make sweet and sour pork ribs for the children on New Year's Eve.

When Aunt Han and her son saw the huge piece of spareribs, they started drooling and wanted to eat here even more. What's more, Aunt Han was planning to keep her son to stay until the Chinese New Year.

Man Tank: "Mom, I'm hungry."

Aunt Han: "Let your sister-in-law give you and your son some eggs first, and then we'll eat pork ribs." She looked around for where Lin Lan's eggs were so that she could make boiled eggs for her son.

Lin Lan took out the spare ribs to thaw them, and went to prepare other ingredients. Hearing Aunt Han's words so contentedly, she smiled and said, "There are seven people in our family, and we don't even have enough food for ourselves, so how can we have food for you?"

I can't give it to you even if I have it!

Having a mother-in-law is troublesome enough, why are you, the elder sister-in-law, trying to act so high and mighty?

In her previous life, she was a very considerate elder sister-in-law. She would always help her nephew during festivals and give him money, clothes, and various gifts. It was only after the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law broke out that her younger sister-in-law always liked to complain to her, and her own mother also complained to her. In the end, she avoided them.

At this time, Han Qingsong came back from outside with a bag tied to the back of his bicycle, which looked like it was filled with noodles.

Aunt Han was overjoyed and immediately ran over, "Brother, you are back."

It is rare to hear someone calling each other brother face to face. Han Qingsong was surprised when she called it so exaggeratedly.

After seeing it clearly, he nodded: "Big sister is here."

Aunt Han was very enthusiastic and helped Han Qingsong carry the bag, "What's in it?"

Han Qingsong invited her into the house and carried the bag himself, "Rice."

Aunt Han immediately walked in with her chin held high, like a victorious rooster, and gave Lin Lan a sidelong glance in protest.

Lin Lan: “…” Look at what you can do.

Han Qingsong showed her his pocket and said, "I don't know where Luo Haicheng got a few pounds of glutinous rice from. He can't eat it himself, so I brought it back to you to see what he does with it."

"What is glutinous rice?" Aunt Han was very curious, having never heard of it before.

Han Qingsong: "Jiangmi."

They don't grow rice here, and many people have never seen glutinous rice in their lives, so naturally they don't know what it is. Even in nearby cities, they don't call it glutinous rice, but simply call it glutinous rice.

For example, there is a snack called glutinous rice noodles, which is made by kneading glutinous rice flour into strips, deep-frying, and rolling in sugar. It tastes crispy and sweet, and is loved by both adults and children.

Unfortunately, it is also very expensive, and country people can eat it less than twice a year.

When Aunt Han heard that it was glutinous rice, she reached into the bag curiously.

Lin Lan grabbed the bag and said to Han Qingsong, "My elder sister has brought her nephew to you and asked you to arrange a job for him. You two should go to grandma's room to discuss the business. I have to cook."

It's obvious that she is saying that she is unhappy and won't serve them dinner. You should send them away quickly.

She took out a big bowl of glutinous rice and planned to soak it in the steamed glutinous rice pork ribs. In addition, it would be delicious to steam more glutinous rice to make simple rice balls, which the children would definitely like.

Aunt Han naturally understood what she meant and immediately frowned, "Brother, come here, I want to talk to you about something."

She pulled Han Qingsong into the house to talk in private.

Han Qingsong did not avoid Lin Lan and said directly: "Sister, if you want to arrange work, no. If you want to talk about Lin Lan, just talk about it here. As for the family matters, you can talk to Lin Lan, I don't care."

Lin Lan chuckled. She thought that Han Jinyu was just being bad and selfish. This Han Dagu was also very funny. She obviously had no status and no one took her seriously, but she actually forced herself to be the boss of her family.

It is already rude and annoying to criticize her brother's wife in person, and now she is actually instigating her brother to say bad things about her sister-in-law in person. Is she crazy?

"Sister, you have finally come back to your parents' home, so you should hurry up and talk to the old lady. I won't keep you here any longer." Lin Lan once again ordered her to leave and then ignored her.

She scooped out another bowl of glutinous rice and handed it to Han Qingsong, "Give this to your sister-in-law and ask her to make some glutinous rice porridge."

Sister-in-law Han always wanted to divide the family property but couldn't, and she spent her days in depression. Lin Lan saw Sister-in-law Han hiding behind a haystack and wiping her tears several times. When she asked, Sister-in-law Han said that she was blinded by the hay.

Lin Lan felt full of sympathy for her, but she could do nothing about it. After all, the division of the family property had to be fought for by the parties themselves.

And it requires the joint efforts of both husband and wife.

Han Qingsong took the glutinous rice, said something to Lin Lan, and then said to Aunt Han: "Sister, let's go."

He sat there with his eyes fixed on the ribs in the basin. He had never missed his sight when Han Qingsong came back during this half day, and didn't even call out to him.

Aunt Han didn't remind him either.

When Han Qingsong said he was leaving, she quickly said, "Mangang, your third uncle is back, hurry up and call someone."

Mangang called out in confusion, his eyes still fixed on the ribs.

Aunt Han said with a smile, "Third brother, you see Mangang really likes you. He keeps saying that he misses his third uncle and wants to stay at his third uncle's house for a few days so that he can teach him some skills." She looked at the east room again and said, "The kang is so big, you see, my mother and I can even fit it in there."

Han Qingsong: "You guys want to stay here? There are no blankets at home."

"No, I brought a full tank here. I'll take it back later and let him live there until the New Year."

The three brothers did not refuse directly, which meant there was an opportunity. Aunt Han blushed with excitement. Let Mangang stay for a few more days to get in touch with his uncle, and then he can find a job. She did not expect that Han Qingsong would arrange a job for her as soon as she asked for it. Of course, she had to be friendly.

Han Qingsong glanced at her and said, "Sister, do you really want Mangang to stay here?"

Aunt Han: "This is not about asking him to be intimate with you."

Han Qingsong: "I'm at work and not at home."

"It's okay, let him get close to his brothers and sisters." Aunt Han didn't care. As long as they could stay, it would save food. During the Chinese New Year, the third brother's family would share the meat, and the children could also eat it.

Upon hearing this, Han Qingsong said to Mangang, "Go and get your blanket over here, and sleep on the same kang with Dawang and the others."

When Aunt Han heard that, she was very happy and glanced at Lin Lan proudly with an expression that said, "My brother is my brother."

Lin Lan: “…” I’ll see you being proud for a few minutes.

She was not worried at all. If Han Qingsong was so easy to talk to, Han Jinyu would have come directly to live with her.

Why did you get so angry that Han Jinyu said something like "You are not my brother"?

Sure enough, just when Mangang was excited that he would be able to eat meat and flour at his uncle's house in the future, he heard Han Qingsong say, "You have to be mentally prepared. Get up at five in the morning to do exercises and run four laps around the village."

A full tank of wine gets up at five o'clock?

It's winter, and it's still dark at five o'clock. Why are you getting up? Besides, you're already hungry, and you're getting up to run. Isn't that a waste of food?

You must be crazy!

He hesitated.

Before he came, his mother told him a lot of things. She said that his third uncle lived in a big brick and tile house and they ate white flour and meat every day, and she told him that if he came, he must stay.

My third uncle is an official and he is very proud. He would feel embarrassed to chase his relatives away and would have to serve them well. Then he could stay until the New Year and eat all the delicious food before leaving.

Of course I am happy to have a full tank!

Who wouldn’t be happy to eat white flour and meat?

But he was a little scared when he had to get up early every day to do morning exercises.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Running exercises are a must, and there are other things to do. If you get up late, you will be whipped. If you run slowly, you will be whipped. If you run less, you will be whipped."

Man Tank was so frightened that his face turned pale.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never been hit by a finger. He is most afraid of pain.

Aunt Han forced a smile and said, "Look at you guys, why are you still scaring the children?"

Lin Lan: "I'm not trying to scare you. If you don't believe me, ask Da Wang. He was whipped ten times a while ago and he's just recovered now."

Mangang's body trembled, and he stood up and ran to hide beside his mother, "Mom, I don't want to live here!"

Han Qingsong frowned and scolded: "Why should a man be so timid? This is because you need to practice. I promise you will change in seven days. Stay here and do morning exercises with Dawang!"

Seeing this situation, Mangang realized that he couldn't leave now. He was so scared that he forgot about ribs and ran away, "Mom, I want to go home——"

Han Qingsong said angrily, "How can a man be so coquettish?" He said to Han Dagu, "Sister, don't worry, let Mangang stay here. He will be trained properly in less than half a month."

However, Aunt Han didn't believe that Han Qingsong would treat the child like this, and his nephew was not his own son, so he would definitely feel embarrassed to train him if he just stayed with him for a while.

She said happily, "Okay, let him stay."

Seeing that she agreed, Han Qingsong said, "Then you prepare the food. Prepare as much as the child needs to eat, don't let him go hungry."

Aunt Han was stunned. "Brother, you can't afford to feed your nephew? Or are you incompetent? Doesn't your wife allow you to? Brother, you can't be so mean to your eldest sister. We are siblings."

Han Qingsong: "Big sister, this has nothing to do with siblings, it also applies to parents. There are seven people in our family, and only Lin Lan earns work points. My children and I eat Lin Lan's food, so you have to prepare it yourself."

Aunt Han rolled her eyes and slapped her thigh, "Look at what you said, third brother. If you don't have enough food, tell me. I don't have much, but I can still lend you 100 or 200 kilograms of food. You can go get some later...ah, no need, I'll get a full jar and send it to you during the New Year."

"Don't wait to come back, go now, I'm at home right now." Han Qingsong said seriously, not joking at all.

He put the glutinous rice in his hand on the stove and said, "I'll go push the bike." Then he walked out to push the bike.

Aunt Han got anxious when she saw this, and hurriedly chased after him and pulled his arm, "Third brother, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

Lin Lan almost died of laughter.

At this time, children rushed back home one after another.

Sanwang took the lead, followed closely by Erwang, Mai Sui led Xiaowang, and Dawang carried his schoolbag, following behind his younger brothers and sisters with a cold face and lazy legs.

"Mom, what's delicious today?" Sanwang shouted as he ran into the yard. When he saw Aunt Han, he was stunned for a moment, called out "Aunt" and went into the house, saying "Diao Yide, what evil intentions do you have——"

Xiaowang corrected him, "It's Diao Deyi."

Several children greeted their aunt and ran into the house to talk to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Since your eldest and youngest aunts are here, I didn't make sweet soup, but I will make you something delicious tonight."

The children asked what delicious food was.

Lin Lan pointed at the spare ribs and glutinous rice and said, "Steamed spare ribs with glutinous rice." Han Qingsong had brought back glutinous rice, so they could use local ingredients.

"Wow!" The spare ribs were very good, and there were even some different ways to cook them. The children's cheeks were glowing with joy.

Aunt Han was attracted for a moment and could not help but said: "Three brothers, don't say that your elder sister is nagging, it is also for your own good. Live your life, how can you not live your life like this? When you have something to eat, you ignore your parents and eat it all by yourself? Who has a little meat, right..."

"Let's go get some food." Han Qingsong pushed the cart out.

Aunt Han hurried to catch up, but Han Qingsong had long legs and big steps, and he pushed the bicycle faster. She couldn't catch up, so she could only shout: "Third brother, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's discuss it again."

She thought Han Qingsong was joking or just pretending, or maybe he was just stingy and didn't want his nephew to live there, so it would be fine as long as she didn't let her child live there.

Little did they know that the three brothers were so honest that they really wanted their nephew to stay and they were not just joking.

He really went to Linhe Village to push for food!

Aunt Han felt so desperate!

She repeatedly suggested that they discuss it and let Mangang live with the food first and give it to him after the New Year, but Han Qingsong refused to listen.

She had no choice but to tell him that it was really not possible to let the full jar live there, and then she would have to carry food with her to live there.

Han Qingsong didn't listen, "Big sister, there are a lot of guys in the tank, and they are all cowering like tapeworms. How can we do this? We must practice."

Aunt Han really wanted to cry but had no tears.

Finally, Aunt Han begged and pleaded, saying that she would let Mangang come over for training in the spring when it was warmer next year, because there was no changing of clothes at home in the winter, and the child should not be allowed to catch a cold.

Han Qingsong thought about it and agreed, "Then next year."

Aunt Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my god, this almost ended in failure.

Halfway through the journey, she remembered that the tank was still full.

Han Qingsong said, "Go to your home and let the child go home by himself. He is such a grown-up, he won't get lost."

There were no robbers at that time, let alone kidnapping children. As long as it was not intentional, the children would not be lost.

Aunt Han was still worried, so she came back, took the full jar, carried the lid on her back, and hurried home before it got completely dark.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Han Qingsong took the initiative to see them off.

…

Let’s talk about Lin Lan and her children making spare ribs at home.

The children had never seen glutinous rice before and were curious about what it was.

They had never seen rice before, only millet. After all, rice was not grown locally. At that time, transportation was not well developed, and grain was transferred from the south to the north only to regional cities, and there was little grain in county towns.

Lin Lan took out the glutinous rice and showed it to them.

She explained the origin of glutinous rice, as well as the types of rice, where it is produced, and how to eat it.

"Rice is the same as millet. You can eat it after hulling it. You can steam or cook it. You can also grind it into flour to make rice noodles."

Xiaowang was already overwhelmed with questions, from what glutinous rice was, to what paddy rice, upland rice, and rice noodles were. He was so anxious that he blinked his eyes because his mouth was not enough.

Lin Lan touched his head and said, "You are still young. Once you learn to read, you can read books. It's all in the books."

Xiaowang felt that his mother knew a lot and was so amazing, even more amazing than the teacher.

Many of the local members have never left the county town in their entire lives, some have never left the commune, and some have even never left the confines of their own village.

I really know nothing about what's going on outside.

If it weren't for Lin Lan's careful care, Xiaowang would naturally be like this.

Now that he can see it, he is particularly curious.

Because of a few kilograms of glutinous rice, Lin Lan gave the children another vivid lesson. The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. You need to learn well and watch it later.

Da Wang helped chop the ribs into small pieces with a machete.

Erwang also took out his own recipe, which indeed included steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice, sweet and sour pork ribs, etc., but in order to save costs, there were no pictures.

Lin Lan used limited ingredients to make the sauce. She put fermented black bean paste, a small spoonful of soy sauce, salt, and a spoonful of oil into a bowl and mixed them with the spareribs. She also chopped up green onions and ginger and picked a few dried perilla leaves and put them in to spread on top.

Perilla is a local wild grass. Lin Lan asked the children to pick it and dry it in the sun, and then add some when cooking meat and fish.

She also soaked some mushrooms and chopped them up, which she could then spread on top to absorb the aroma of the ribs, making it even more delicious.

Although it was only four o'clock, the room was already dark. Lin Lan asked them to light the lights and do their homework or read books while she did something else. It wouldn't be too late to cook after the glutinous rice was soaked and the ribs were marinated.

Seeing that the bowl of glutinous rice was still at home, she sent Da Wang to deliver it to the back.

After a long time, he didn't come back, and Han Qingsong didn't come back either. Lin Lan didn't care, thinking that Da Wang had gone out to play with someone.

She saw that the glutinous rice was almost soaked, so she started cooking.

Erwang Maisui came down to help on his own initiative.

There is mixed grain porridge in the pot, with pancakes sticking to the edge of the pot, and a small bowl of cabbage heart stewed with eggs and a glutinous rice pork rib.

The idea of ​​stewing eggs with cabbage hearts was created by Erwang to save eggs. People originally liked to stew eggs with green onions, but that was not enough, so he stewed them with cabbage hearts and put some shrimp skin on top, which was both calcium-rich and delicious.

Erwang peeled a few cabbages for her, washed them clean, and spread them on a large round tea tray. He then placed the mixed glutinous rice and pork ribs on the cabbage, poured in the remaining glutinous rice, and spread it out.

Lin Lan praised: "Son, it would be great if you could become a gourmet chef in the future."

Being a top chef or a gourmet are all good. At least it's better than hanging out with women and making a living by relying on your face and mouth.

Erwang smiled and said, "Mom, it's good to be able to eat well and be a gourmet. But if I become a chef in a state-owned hotel...it won't be that easy."

Lin Lan patted his shoulder and said, "Kid, you have to go to college first. I can work as a chef in a state-owned hotel."

Erwang: "Mom, you can do it."

The mother and son started a business mutual promotion mode.

Lin Lan looked outside and said, "Sanwang, why hasn't your brother come back yet? Let's go check on him."

Sanwang was secretly fiddling with the radio while his brother and sister were away. When he heard Lin Lan calling him, he jumped off the ground, put on his socks and ran out.

Soon Sanwang came back, looking very upset, "Mom, there's a fight going on at my grandma's house!"

Lin Lan looked at his almost glowing little face. He was really hopeless. He was infected by Liu Chuncai. Seeing other people fighting was like watching a drama. It was so exciting.

"Did your elder brother get beaten?"

"No, my aunt and my aunt were fighting, my grandma beat my aunt, my grandpa went to stop them, and my aunt beat my grandpa..."

Lin Lan was overwhelmed by what she heard. As long as her child was not beaten, she was not worried. "Where's your eldest brother? Call him back quickly. It's time to eat when your father comes back."

"My eldest brother is not at grandma's house. I don't know where he has gone." Sanwang said.

Lin Lan: "He's delivering rice. Where can he go? Go and call him."

Sanwang ran away.

Lin Lan looked at them and saw that the father and son were really the same. Han Qingsong said he was going to his eldest sister's house to get food for Mangang, but he wouldn't really go there, that was too realistic.

Sanwang didn't mention his aunt, so it is estimated that she had already left with Han Qingsong.

After a while, Gu Mi came running over, crying, "Third Lady, please go and help my mother. My grandma insisted that my father beat my mother."

Lin Lan was shocked. Han's eldest sister-in-law had always been hardworking and willing to work hard at home. Although she was dissatisfied with Old Lady Han, she never confronted her directly. She could be said to be a model daughter-in-law. What was the evil wind that Old Lady Han had to hit her eldest daughter-in-law today?

She asked Mai Sui to look after Guo and Xiaowang at home, and she took Erwang over to take a look.

When we arrived at old Han's house, we didn't see Sanwang and Dawang. The fighting had stopped. We only heard the sound of old lady Han swearing and Han Jinyu swearing and crying. There was no sound of Han's eldest sister-in-law.

Lin Lan stood at the door and didn't want to go in. "Gu Mi, don't worry, your father won't beat your mother."

Gu Mi couldn't hear anything either, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said in distress, "Third Madam, since the separation, you have been happy and comfortable, but my mother has been suffering."

Lin Lan was stunned.

Erwang said unhappily, "Sister, what are you talking about? How could it be my mother's fault?"

Lin Lan signaled him not to be anxious, she would not argue with the child.

Gu Mi was a simple girl and didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. After all, before the family was divided, it was always Lin Lan who made trouble and Old Lady Han scolded her, while her mother just cooked and worked every day and was never scolded. But now that the family was divided, San Niang's family lived comfortably, had good food and drink, and didn't have to be scolded. And for some reason, her mother took over San Niang's place and was scolded by Grandma over and over again.

She heard adults say this all the time, so she just said it without thinking there was anything wrong with it.

Lin Lan asked: "What happened today?"

Gu Mi whispered, "My aunt came back and scolded you for chasing the grandson's official away. She scolded you very harshly. My mother said it had nothing to do with you, and that the grandson's official looked down on the family. My aunt got mad and insisted that this poor family had caused her trouble, forcing her to work on the fields, and that she had a rural household registration and could not go to the city to eat public grain, and they did not even arrange a job for her. My mother was so angry that she said a few words to her, but my aunt refused to listen and started a fight. My grandmother insisted on beating my mother..."

At that time, the younger sister-in-law cursed fiercely, "It's all that bitch's fault. After the family was divided, she took the salary of the third brother to eat and drink well, leaving the whole family to suffer! She couldn't stand us getting along, and she ruined my relationship. You must all wish that I wouldn't marry in the city and stay at home to farm and suffer with you! How did I bother you that you had to drive me out? You complained about me eating and drinking too much all day long, and when I wanted to find a partner in the city, you were jealous and ruined it. What on earth do you want to do?"

Han's sister-in-law said, "Don't flatter yourself all the time. No one is jealous of you. We all hope that you can marry someone in the city and live a good life. Even if Sun Ganshi comes to our house to take a look, he may not like her. He didn't come here to get engaged."

Han Jinyu couldn't stand it anymore. She was the only one who picked on others, so how could others pick on her?

Even though she might not have liked Secretary Sun before and wanted to try a few more, now that Secretary Sun ran away without saying a word, she couldn't stand it.

It's a slap in the face!

Because of this, she was very angry and finally had a fight with Mrs. Han.

Sister-in-law Han was also unhappy because of her and Aunt Han.

Han Jinyu brought a grandson with him. His nose was on the top of his head. He didn't call her "sister-in-law" when he saw her. He just hummed twice as a greeting. Is this how you meet for a blind date? Such a snobbish blind date? It was obvious that he was here for the third child.

Aunt Han was no good either, she came with her son and a paving stone on her back, clearly wanting to live here. In front of the old lady, she called Lin Lan a "slut" in order to flatter her mother, and said she was plotting against Lin Lan, and wanted to bring her son to live there, and she also wanted to act like a big sister and teach the "slut" a lesson to support her mother, and so on.

Sister-in-law Han felt really embarrassed and ashamed, but it was a pity that her house was small and she had nowhere to hide.

But that’s not all.

Aunt Han really thinks she is the head of her family. When she gets home, she starts by giving her sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law a lecture. She tells them that the first wife is the head of the family and should be filial to her parents-in-law and support the family. The second wife... the third wife... the daughters-in-law should serve their parents-in-law, not to mention greeting them in the morning and evening, but also serving meals, pouring water, emptying the urine pot, serving soup and medicine, etc.

Mrs. Han held back for a long time the question "Have you served your parents-in-law like this?" but in the end she was too embarrassed to ask. She just thought that if Lin Lan was here, she would definitely fight back directly.

Gu Mi naturally didn't think of all this. She only heard her aunt complaining that the Third Lady had driven away Sun Ganshi, and her mother was scolded and beaten for it. She concluded that it was Lin Lan's problem that caused her mother to be scolded all the time.

I can't help but complain like that.

Lin Lan naturally wouldn't argue with her, but she still felt a little upset in her heart, feeling that her kindness to Gu Mi was in vain.

She said, "Okay, it's okay."

She took Erwang away.

Gu Mi was a little disappointed when she saw that Lin Lan didn't come in, and she also didn't understand why Lin Lan suddenly became a little cold.

While walking on the road, Erwang said angrily: "Mom, I thought she was a good person, but she actually said that. It's really infuriating."

Lin Lan said, "It's not her fault. Children just learn whatever the adults tell them to. She doesn't go to school and doesn't learn knowledge, so naturally she doesn't understand reason."

Erwang said "oh", after all, he was a child and couldn't help being angry.

Lin Lan followed suit and told him to study hard. "If you don't study, you'll be like rice. You have the opportunity to study, so you must cherish it."

"Mom, don't worry, I will study hard and will definitely live up to your expectations." Erwang said seriously.

Lin Lan smiled, and the little bit of depression disappeared. She held Erwang's hand and said, "Let's go home and live a good life. We don't care about other people's chaos."

The mother and son laughed out loud, and they raced home.

Mai Sui had already cleaned the main room and had a fire burning under the pot. When he saw them coming back, he said, "Sanwang and Big Brother went to the south road to pick up my father."

He asked the old lady if she was okay.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's okay."

She saw the bowl of rice on the stove and asked, "Why did your brother bring it back?"

Mai Sui curled his lips and said, "I guess he heard them scolding you, so he brought it back in anger."

Lin Lan didn't say anything.

…

It was already dark outside. Sanwang took his eldest brother to the south road to bring his father back. "Come back early so we can eat pork ribs earlier."

Da Wang: "Whether you welcome it or not, the time is the same."

"How are they the same? Didn't this mean that Dad was picked up before Mom and the others?" Sanwang was not convinced.

Da Wang: “…” Can you eat the ribs if I catch it first?

He was too lazy to correct Sanwang, so the kid would go astray.

Han Qingsong happened to come back and saw them. He stopped the car and motioned for them to get in.

Sanwang rubbed his hands eagerly and said, "Dad, let me ride it." He had been coveting a bicycle for a long time, but had no chance to get one, so he ran out to intercept the bicycle in the name of picking up Han Qingsong.

Dad usually goes to work, and when he's not at work, his brothers and sisters are at home, so he has no chance to touch them.

Especially my second brother, I watched everything in the house very carefully, for fear that he would break something.

For example, a bicycle, a radio, my mother's watch...

Now that his second brother is not around, he wants to give it a try.

Han Qingsong looked at his little man and hesitated for a moment. Sanwang immediately raised his hands and jumped, "Dad, let me ride, let me ride."

It was already dark, with a large half moon hanging in the west, shining brightly. Although one could not see the surroundings clearly, Sanwang's eyes were bright and intimidating.

That shows how much he wants to ride!

Han Qingsong retracted his long legs, handed the handlebars to Sanwang, and turned on the flashlight headlight he made to light the road ahead for Sanwang.

Sanwang was dressed in a plump way, wearing gloves, and was not tall enough. How could the 28-inch bicycle be so easy for him to ride?

The bicycle was coming straight at him, and the ground was slippery in winter. He couldn't hold on and screamed, "Stop, don't push me~~"

When he was about to be crushed, Han Qingsong grabbed the car and looked at Dawang.

Da Wang came over to hold the car and said to San Wang, "I'll go to your house."

Sanwang refused and said stubbornly: "I can ride a horse!"

Da Wang sneered and gestured his height.

Sanwang took off his gloves, stuffed them into his elder brother's pocket, grabbed the handlebars, trotted out and pushed the bike, then put his left foot on the pedal and stood on it with his right foot.

Da Wang: "It's dark, don't go up if you can't reach it, or you'll fall... off the car!"

Sanwang: “…”

He stood like this for two rounds, and suddenly he stopped standing. He lowered his body, and his right leg actually slipped under the beam. He was still a little panicked and almost fell. Fortunately, Da Wang supported him.

Sanwang: "Brother, take a good look, I may be able to do it."

He continued, and after doing this a few times, he was actually able to ride the bike by grabbing the bottom of the beam.

Da Wang: “…” It’s actually possible!

Sanwang rode proudly. Although it was dark, he was not worried at all because there was a flashlight beam in front of him.

"Brother, come here quickly. I'll hold you."

Da Wang followed them home silently, but Han Qingsong had already returned home.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Sanwang shouted: "Mom, come and see, come and see me, I can ride... Snap——"

Before he could finish his words, he and his car crashed in front of the house.

Just then, Lin Lan and Mai Sui came out with Xiao Wang to support him and watched the whole process of his fall.

Three people: "..."

Sanwang lay on the bicycle, looked up and smiled at them: "Mom, I fell so badly!"

Lin Lan quickly lifted it up for him, "It looks great. I hope your front teeth haven't been knocked out."

Sanwang: “…it hasn’t grown out yet.” He recently lost a front tooth, and his mouth is leaking air.

Mai Sui quickly looked at the bicycle and said exaggeratedly, "Oh, the crutches got knocked into it by the shaking."

Sanwang was so scared that he looked quickly.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "No, don't scare him."

Da Wang caught up with him and saw San Wang fell like that. He tried not to laugh but his brows twitched violently. He took the bicycle on his own initiative, straightened the handlebars as they were crooked, and then pushed it into the gatehouse.

Sanwang excitedly said that he could ride a bicycle by digging under the beam, and asked his second brother and sister to learn from him.

Mai Sui: "Stuck up your butt, how ugly is that?"

Sanwang: "Brother, you only stick your butt out when you're riding a big beam. How can you stick your butt out when you're digging under the beam with your butt facing downwards?"

Curious baby Xiaowang started to imitate the actions of his elder and third brothers to see which one would stick out his butt.

Lin Lan was almost dying of laughter at their actions. Day by day, her wrinkles became longer than those of other people.

Erwang shouted from inside the house: "It's time to eat, the spareribs are so delicious!"

"Rice glutinous pork ribs!" Sanwang shouted and ran into the house, saying, "What evil intentions does Diao Yide have~~"

Xiao Wang corrected him: "Glutinous rice and pork ribs, Diao Deyi."

The others just laughed.

It was not until 6:30 that the family finally sat down at the table to eat.

Steamed spare ribs with glutinous rice have both the sweetness of glutinous rice and the aroma of spare ribs. The meat falls off the bones as soon as you touch it with your tongue. It is full and juicy with rich meaty aroma when you chew it. Then chew the bones and suck the marrow inside. It is so delicious.

After eating the meat, mix the remaining glutinous rice and mushrooms, and share two spoons per person. It tastes soft, glutinous, sweet and full of aftertaste.

“Glutinous rice is delicious.”

The children were deeply impressed by the glutinous rice they ate for the first time. They ate till they were full and all had smiles on their faces.

Sanwang: "I'm going to write about steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice in tomorrow's diary, so don't compete with me."

Today, because they went to watch the excitement and learn how to ride bicycles, Sanwang and Dawang haven't written their diary for the day yet.

Han Qingping asked the children to write a diary every day, recording the interesting things that happened that day, with a minimum of 100 words.

The other children spent their days going to school, eating, and sleeping. Otherwise, there would be quarrels at home, or their younger brothers and sisters would wet the bed and get beaten, or they would be criticized for being late for school. There was nothing interesting to do.

The most novel thing is the promotional activities in the village.

Mai Sui and Er Wang never have trouble writing essays, as they can always find something new every day.

It could be what different programs are playing on the radio, or what new insights I gained from running exercises this morning, or who made a mistake and was scolded or beaten, or who made a funny joke. The most important thing is what delicious food my mother made, what interesting words she said, whether Director Han smiled today, or what good things he bought for his wife...

With so much material at hand, they can easily write a lot of words.

But Sanwang and Dawang are worried about having gray hair.

The two of them often tried to see what others wrote. Either Da Wang wrote that San Wang was stupid, or San Wang wrote that Da Wang got beaten.

Anyway, Sanwang has been writing about the story of Xiaowang changing from playing the flute to the harmonica, and the story of Wangwang's eyes reflecting green light for several days.

Today I can finally change the topic: glutinous rice and pork ribs.

Da Wang said seriously: "I just wrote that Diao Yide fell flat on his face while riding a bicycle."

Everyone laughed.

Sanwang was also happy, "Then I will write this tomorrow too, I..." Then I will replace the person with the second brother, hehe.

By the time the children finished their homework and cleaned up, it was already late for them to go to bed.

Lin Lan didn't care to ask about Aunt Han, Han Jinyu and Sun Yaowu, and she was too lazy to tell Han Qingsong about their fight.

These were no big deal to her, and she was too lazy to waste her time on them.

She wanted to tell Han Qingsong about Dawang.

"I was surprised by his agile movements. It felt like he had to practice for years to be so skilled. ... But Da Wang said he had never opened a lock to steal anything, and I believed him." Lin Lan described the lock-opening incident to him in vivid detail.

Han Qingsong nodded: "Yes."

Lin Lan propped herself up against his chest, "Do you really believe it?"

Han Qingsong looked at her and said, "Really."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "That's good enough. We should also give our children trust. But you should still check it secretly, just in case there is anything wrong."

Han Qingsong hummed and hugged her, "Go to bed early."

Lin Lan immediately rested her head on his arm and made some deliberate sounds. When Han Qingsong tried to kiss her, she began to hide. “Didn’t you say to go to bed early? Don’t move around.” As she spoke, she couldn’t help laughing.

Han Qingsong pulled the quilt and covered both of them.

Lin Lan: "No, take it away... I can't stand it when I think of that bad boy Sanwang."

Sanwang, that little rascal, often covers others with a quilt and then farts in the quilt. Lin Lan and Erwang are both overshadowed by him.

Han Qingsong was not a noisy person after all, so he showed the two of them and told her about Dawang's affairs and the things he had investigated in recent days.

Lin Lan was very shocked when she heard this. "How can there still be gangs now? Haven't we defeated all the bad guys?"

I heard that two bandits in Linjiatun were shot to death at that time.

Han Qingsong said: "No, these are just small fry, not worth mentioning."

They are all young people who are not up to standard or have no proper jobs. They have no jobs and don't want to go to the countryside to farm, so they just hang around like that.

Lin Lan said: "But we still need to pay more attention. After all, there are talented people in different eras. Those in those times were shot to death, and those in this era will also grow up."

According to her understanding, after the Cultural Revolution ended and the 1980s began, public security became chaotic again. There were robberies and plunders, and the countryside was in great chaos.

Some of them had mastered their skills since the 1970s but had no chance to display them. Once the social environment became more relaxed, they became even more aggressive in endangering public security.

Han Qingsong stroked her round shoulders and said, "Okay, let them sort it out and investigate it carefully."
