Chapter 63 Illness & Grade Skipping



Everyone became busy after the Lantern Festival. Lin Lan thought that during the busy farming season, she would only organize the grass-cutting promotion class for girls, and the members' class could be organized when the farming season was free.

Little did they know that the county had issued an order that the whole country would carry out communal civilization propaganda, and even asked the county hospital to come down to provide training. No matter whether it was busy or idle, there was no time to squeeze in, so conditions had to be created to carry out propaganda.

This put many teams in a difficult position and conflicts arose, making it difficult to carry out work. The cadres in charge of publicity and the cadres in charge of production had several quarrels in order to compete for the members' time.

When they arrived at Shanzui Village, Dong Huaihua was also in a dilemma.

She didn't dare to compete with the team leader for the top spots. At most, she could do the promotion at night, but it was spring plowing and planting season, and at night they either had to work overtime or were very tired, so the promotion could not be carried out at all.

This time was different, there was actually someone supervising and recording the number of people in attendance, and even trying to fool around with it failed.

Dong Huaihua's hair almost turned white with worry. She looked for Lin Lan and said, "Lin Lan, what do you think we should do?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Isn't this easy to do? Before going to work, the team leaders should give a speech to encourage the members to work hard."

Dong Huaihua: "But the captain doesn't know how to promote it, does he?"

"Let's cheer for the captain. If everyone attends, can the supervisor still say we're not promoting it?"

"Oh, it's really good." Dong Huaihua was excited, "He encouraged himself before work, smoked a bag of cigarettes and watched a show during the break. After work, he summarized and encouraged himself. It's great."

Lin Lan curled her eyes and said, "Enjoy your spare time."

In this way, Shanzui Village solved the problem of being unable to carry out propaganda due to busy farming and conflicts between propaganda cadres and production cadres. It was soon recognized as advanced by the commune, and people were sent to learn from it, and then it was promoted throughout the commune.

Afterwards, Director Jia of the commune was invited by the county to attend a meeting to share their experience in Shanshui Farm.

Director Jia gained great fame and praised Shanzui Village in return, giving it a certificate and prizes.

The prize was a five-yuan fountain pen, and Dong Huaihua gave it to Lin Lan. She found that although Lin Lan had never been to school, made many mistakes in her handwriting, and wrote with her left hand, she studied hard and her handwriting was neat and beautiful. She really admired Lin Lan. If it weren't for Lin Lan, she would never have been selected as an advanced cadre.

Because of this incident, the brigade cadres became more optimistic about Lin Lan. Although she was not a formal cadre, she had considerable prestige among the brigade cadres group.

The girls' advocacy class she hosted was also going well. The girls learned how to protect themselves while earning points for braiding.

Although some girls were shy and embarrassed at first, they gradually found it very useful.

Especially in some families with more boys, the older brothers are not well-behaved, or are ignorant and have no one to educate them, and if they have some bad behaviors towards their younger sisters, then it is time to correct them as much as possible.

During the break, Lin Lan drank some hawthorn water she made herself to moisten her throat.

Caihua ran over and said with a smile, "Teacher Lin, you explained it very well. I really benefited from listening to you."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "As long as it's useful, it won't be a waste of our words."

Caihua asked a few questions, chatted for a while, and then tried to find out where Lin Lan came up with this idea. "Other teams didn't take it seriously, but our team was good and thought about protecting us. That's great."

Lin Lan looked at her.

Caihua was not pretty, at most she was pretty, and her skin wasn't very good now, and her hair was yellow and sparse. She acted like a well-behaved and sensible person, but her eyes were full of shrewdness that Lin Lan could see through at a glance, which made Lin Lan feel strange.

Dong Huaihua heard this and said, "There are naked boys everywhere on the street, scoundrels who peek at women going to the toilet all day long, and children who are learning to speak. They are as vulgar as they can be. And young girls like you who have never seen the world are easily tempted by a piece of candy. As elders, we must pay more attention to this."

Dong Huaihua spoke eloquently and expressed many opinions, many of which were the result of Lin Lan's subtle influence on her.

Lin Lan listened with a slight smile. It seemed that Dong Huaihua was more like a time traveler than herself.

Dong Huaihua herself is an advanced woman who cannot tolerate bad habits such as favoring boys over girls and possesses the temperament of a modern feminist.

Plus, she had received a few years of education and was always attending studies and meetings, so she spoke in a very unique way.

Besides the fact that her husband is the director of the Public Security Bureau, Lin Lan also consciously controls her studies, speech, and actions, so apart from her different attitudes towards her children and life before and after drinking pesticides, there is nothing else out of the ordinary.

Others would only say that those who survive a disaster will be blessed in the future, but I have figured it out.

Caihua seemed to be listening very seriously, nodded frequently, thanked, and said that he would listen carefully.

Lin Lan said, "If there is an indecent man who wants to bully you, don't hold it in. Speak out and we will arrest him."

Caihua stared at Lin Lan, looking like she really liked and admired her, "Grandma, you are right."

Lin Lan: ...Why am I a grandma again? Just call me Teacher Lin.

People from other families in the village usually moved in later. In order to show respect to the indigenous people, they would call the head of the family at that time "grandfather" or "old man". Some would even call the children of the clan leader "grandfather". Over the generations, there is a huge difference.

This is exactly the case with Caihua, whose surname is He.

Caihua spoke a few more words to Lin Lan. Then Yanyan came over and she left with Yanyan.

Lin Lan couldn't help but pay attention. Although the other party was not the heroine, but just an unknown country girl, her relationship with the heroine and the shrewdness in her eyes also aroused Lin Lan's vigilance.

However, there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but no one can prevent thieves for a thousand days. If you do it well, you won't be afraid. After all, the other party didn't do anything special. What if he was just curious about me, a woman who drank pesticides?

In February, although the ice and snow began to melt, it was still very cold.

Many people caught colds during the late spring cold spell, and Lin Lan also had a stuffy nose and dizziness. However, many teams had invited her to work recently, so she had no time to rest.

That day she was invited by a team outside to attend a half-day class, and in the afternoon she walked home along a canal.

As I was walking, I heard someone ahead shouting that someone had accidentally fallen into the river.

Lin Lan ran over to take a look.

It turned out that a woman accidentally fell into the river while working.

Soon, someone pulled up a woman with a hook. She was soaking wet. The weather was cold and the river was icy. Her lips were frozen purple and her whole body was shivering. She had lost consciousness.

Someone was trying to control the water for her, and the woman spit out some water, but she didn't wake up yet.

Lin Lan saw that he was fainted and had to give him artificial respiration immediately.

She pushed the crowd aside and said that she was a teacher in the publicity team, knew a little about first aid, and asked everyone to make way.

In her previous life, she took a first aid course when she was a graduate student. Later, she participated in several disaster relief operations as a volunteer and accumulated some first aid experience.

She gave the woman artificial respiration, sweating all over, and finally woke her up. When the woman woke up, she sprayed a lot of water again, which sprayed Lin Lan's face and body.

Seeing that the woman had woken up, Lin Lan quickly got up and asked someone to carry her back home.

Everyone was busy with the woman and soon forgot about her. Lin Lan wiped the water off her face and went home.

The evening breeze was chilly and cold. Lin Lan had been sweating all over before and now she sneezed several times in succession.

After walking for a while, she felt dizzy, dizzy, and sweating, and she wanted to lie down and take a nap.

As she was walking, she saw a man in front of her whose outline looked familiar. She thought the young man was quite handsome and looked similar to her third brother.

Then she watched the man running towards her. Lin Lan stood there, staring at him intently and smiling at him.

Young man, you are quite handsome!

She smiled and said, "Little brother, I think you look kind."

Han Qingsong: “………………”

He walked forward and picked up Lin Lan.

Lin Lan was confused but still teased him: "What are you doing? I have a husband!"

Han Qingsong: "!"

She hooked Han Qingsong's neck and said in a soft and coquettish voice, "Third brother, I feel dizzy."

Han Qingsong held her in his arms and strode towards the village, "You have a fever." She had a low fever last night, and he felt she was warmer than before when he held her in his arms. He wanted her to take some medicine, but she insisted that medicine is three-quarters poison and she had to fight it off as she was in good health.

As a result, she felt a little dizzy in the morning, but she still forced herself to go to work.

Han Qingsong went to the bureau today. Since everyone is busy with farming, they don't have much to do. He arranged the work ahead and planned to join the brigade labor at home for a while to help Lin Lan earn work points.

It was an honor for cadres to go to the countryside to participate in agricultural labor, and no one would say that they were slacking off at their job.

From leaders to brigade cadres, they were praised.

After all, there are only people who avoid labor, and no one who works voluntarily.

When he got home, he found Lin Lan was not there, so he went to the braiding class of the brigade.

Dong Huaihua said that Lin Lan was invited by the team behind and would probably be back in the evening.

He was worried about her and wanted to go look for her, but halfway through he saw her, looking drunk, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and her hair and the front of her clothes were wet.

He hugged her, frowning. Did she not recognize him just now? Or did she mistake him for someone else?

accurate.

Never mind, she was sick and her eyes were blurry, that was forgivable.

Lin Lan had a fever and her whole body ached. She couldn't help but humming and rubbing in his arms.

Han Qingsong touched her back with his big hand. The cotton jacket was cold, but her back felt warm.

He regretted not riding his bike here.

On the way, she attracted countless gazes, but Han Qingsong remained calm and didn't look away, and ignored everyone, and directly carried her home. When they got home, Han Qingsong put her on the kang and helped her take off her clothes.

Lin Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale. "What are you doing?"

Han Qingsong: "...I'm sweaty, take it off."

Lin Lan then quickly took off her clothes, and Han Qingsong wrapped her in the quilt again and took her wet clothes down to hang them out to dry.

"I'll go get the barefoot doctor." He was about to go out.

Lin Lan: "Don't call him, it's useless. I just have a cold and a fever, just give me a tablet of Analgin to make me sweat."

This doesn't matter what they say about medicine being partially poisonous.

There were no specific medicines in the countryside at that time. For fever, we took Analgin, and for stomachache and inflammation, we took Cypermethrin.

Not even ibuprofen barefoot doctor.

Han Qingsong was still worried, so he went to call the barefoot doctor.

The barefoot doctor first asked Lin Lan what happened, learned the details of her rescue, discussed the key points of artificial respiration, and praised Lin Lan for having learned it better than himself.

In the end, he said the same thing as Lin Lan, "It's okay, just make a bowl of thick ginger soup and drink it. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God..."

"Okay, you can go now." Han Qingsong sent the barefoot doctor out.

The barefoot doctors in the village have very average medical skills. They just know how to read and write. Then they go to the county hospital for training for a while and then come back to treat headaches and fevers.

A doctor must have a good temper. The villagers recommended him because he was neither hot-tempered nor angry.

But he was really not in a hurry. He was always slow in doing everything, as if he was used to life and death. This really made some of the patients' families anxious and angry.

Han Qingsong came back, lit a fire to boil water, dried clothes, and boiled ginger soup. When the water was hot, he scooped it up and rolled out a towel to wipe Lin Lan's back.

Lin Lan felt very comfortable being served, especially his big hands which were hot, like a constant temperature iron. Except that the palms and fingertips were a little rough, there was no other problem.

After wiping, Han Qingsong brought the ginger soup over and watched her drink it.

Lin Lan took a sip and said, "So spicy!"

Han Qingsong went to get three pieces of rock candy and put one in her mouth.

Lin Lan started eating rock candy and said with a smile, "Let it cool down before drinking. It's too hot now."

"Ginger soup is useful when you drink it while it's hot, but it's useless when it's cold." Han Qingsong blew on it symbolically and took a sip himself to show that it was not hot.

Lin Lan looked at his lips, which were obviously red from being burned. She began to teach him, "Don't you know that you can't eat things that are too hot. It will cause esophageal cancer."

Han Qingsong: "...Esophageal cancer?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's just a disease. The doctor at the hospital said so."

Han Qingsong's eyes were deep, "Did Doctor Yang say that?"

"No, it was Doctor Liu who said that." Lin Lan laughed. Do you think I only know one doctor, Fatty Yang? There are also Doctors Zhuang and Liu.

After talking for a few words, the ginger soup was no longer cold and Lin Lan didn't like to drink it.

Han Qingsong glanced at her, took a sip himself, stretched out his big hand, held her chin and fed her lips to lips, so domineering that Lin Lan had no time to dodge.

Lin Lan: “…” Don’t be so childish!

“…I drink it myself.”

Han Qingsong then let her go and held the bowl for her to drink. Lin Lan no longer complained about being hot or spicy. She drank it in one gulp and held the rock sugar in her mouth.

Han Qingsong covered her with a blanket and took the book from her hand, "Don't read it."

Lin Lan acted coquettishly towards him: "Then read it to me."

Lin Lan really liked listening to him read. His words were very serious and rhythmic, and his voice was deep and magnetic, very pleasant to listen to.

There is a common problem among people at that time, the pronunciation of many words is different.

For example, when talking about choice, he always read the word "折", and Lin Lan's mind would start to repeat "You chose me, I chose you, we chose each other..." and then she could not help laughing.

Han Qingsong glanced at her and said, "Don't laugh."

Seeing her rosy cheeks and lazy posture, her eyes were about to burst into tears because of fever, just like when she was drinking. He couldn't say a word, just looked at her, and the atmosphere became ambiguous as he looked at her.

The light was dim at dusk, and her fair face seemed to be rubbed with rouge, making her even more alluring like a flower.

He couldn't help but want to kiss, touch and hug.

As the two were feeling bored, they heard the footsteps of children rushing home outside.

"Mom, mom, you are so awesome!"

Lin Lan quickly put on her clothes and sat up straight, asking Han Qingsong to stay away from her, lest the children say anything again.

Sanwang rushed in first, "Mom, there really was someone who fell into the river and you pulled him out, why didn't you ask me to save him? I..."

Han Qingsong pushed him aside so that he wouldn't blow the cold wind onto Lin Lan, and covered Lin Lan with the quilt.

The children were chattering, surprised that Lin Lan had actually brought the drowned woman back to life.

Lin Lan: "I didn't catch it, and he didn't drown, he just fainted."

She didn't expect that in just a short while the barefoot doctor had already spread the news throughout the brigade. Although his medical skills were not very good, his mouth was effective.

Lin Lan thought he should be recruited into the propaganda team.

Xiaowang's legs were too short to get on the kang, so he kept jumping around in anxiety. Dawang picked him up and put him on the kang.

Xiaowang took off his shoes, walked up to Lin Lan, touched her forehead, and wanted to touch it with his own forehead.

Lin Lan stopped him, "Don't infect you."

Mai Sui gave Lin Lan her softest handkerchief to prevent her from blowing her nose too hard and scratching it.

Erwang said: "Mom, you are better than the barefoot doctor in our village. He will drink more hot water and soak his feet more often. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God."

Everyone laughed.

Sanwang was too anxious to get a word in, so he asked, "What breathing is that? How do you do that, mother?"

The barefoot doctor was describing the scene vividly outside, especially when Liu Chuncai asked a question out of curiosity, and the two of them even simulated it.

Sanwang watched with great interest and found it very interesting. How could one save people in this way?

No wonder his father likes this, it turns out he is trying to save his mother.

He pressed Xiaowang down on the kang, imitated artificial respiration, and smacked Xiaowang's mouth.

Han Qingsong grabbed Sanwang with his big hands and threw him aside.

Xiao Wang also quickly said, "Xiao San brother, what are you eating? It's so bitter."

Sanwang competed with the naughty children to see who dared to eat things like peppercorns, aniseed and chili peppers. Naturally, he did not want to admit defeat and made sure to show off more than others.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "That's called artificial respiration, don't imitate it."

Sanwang: “Wow~~” He was about to press Xiaowang to give him artificial respiration, but Xiaowang quickly ran behind his father to hide.

The children all asked Lin Lan where she learned it; they were very curious.

Lin Lan was well prepared.

She said wittily, "Of course I learned it in the hospital. Didn't you read the barefoot doctor's manual? It's there."

Mai Sui was about to look for the book, but Da Wang found it first and threw it on the kang.

Sanwang will flip over if he grabs it.

Han Qingsong stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

Under the pressure of Heidi's authority, Sanwang handed it over obediently.

Han Qingsong had read this book before. It did have a chapter on first aid, but it also contained some knowledge on physiology and hygiene. Some of the illustrations were too straightforward and would affect children. He took out a wooden clip from the straw box on the windowsill, picked up the pile directly, and handed it to Erwang, "Don't look at the clipped part."

Lin Lan: ...They will be more curious if you do this.

Sure enough, several children were staring at the pile that was clamped by the clip, with shining eyes.

Lin Lan quickly explained: "The content here will also be discussed in the promotional materials. You can't read it in advance."

The children nodded obediently, except for Sanwang and his friend, whose eyes were grim.

Lin Lan was afraid that the children would be too curious, so she simply taught them. She told them the essentials of artificial respiration, how to blow, how to press the chest, etc. She let them know the principle and the key points. This is to save lives, and it is a serious matter, not just for fun, and it is not a kiss as some people imagine.

After this explanation, the older children understood the principle and were no longer curious. Instead, they studied it seriously, especially Sanwang, who studied the most seriously.

At night, when she was half asleep, she heard Han Qingsong ask, "Who did you learn artificial respiration from?"

Lin Lan thought of the male doctor that her classmates were obsessed with, "Doctor."

In her previous life, she had taken a first aid course during her graduate studies. The doctor who taught the course was a tall, handsome man with a sweet voice. The students were very serious about learning. She was always chosen as a patient model. Although she had no actual contact with the patient, she was very serious about learning. Later, she practiced it many times and her standard rescue action specifications were even shown on TV.

Alas, it’s been so long that I can’t remember what the doctor looked like. I only remember that he had long legs, a handsome face and a sweet voice.

Of course not as handsome as the third brother.

She turned over and snuggled into his arms, kissed the stubble on his chin, found a comfortable position and fell asleep soundly.

Han Qingsong hugged her and kissed her forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief when he felt the fever had subsided.

The story of Lin Lan encountering a woman who fell into the water and bravely saving her spread the next day.

The woman, accompanied by the village women's director and her husband, came to Shanzui Village through the brigade to express her gratitude to her benefactor.

Seeing others jumping around and being fine, and then looking at myself with tears and snot running down my face, I couldn't be more miserable.

Lin Lan decisively refused to see anyone, claiming that she had a severe cold and could not infect others.

The woman felt very sorry and said, "I will come to see you again when you are better." Although she didn't see the man, the woman insisted on leaving the thank-you gift, which was about thirty eggs in total.

Thus, artificial respiration officially replaced the boyfriend joke and began to spread among naughty kids, who thought it was a great thing.

Under Han Qingsong's careful care, Lin Lan recovered in four or five days.

During the few days of illness, Lin Lan made a few pieces of clothes at home. Now it is very convenient with the sewing machine.

Xiaowang couldn't just pick up his brother's old clothes, after all, Sanluzi's clothes were torn before they were too small. Lin Lan couldn't bear to put them on pretty Xiaowang, so she had to make two sets.

Children have to wear their cotton-padded jackets until at least May 1st, so Lin Lan wanted to make him a vest with a lining so that he could wear it inside to keep warm.

While I was busy, Han Qingping came over and knocked on the door.

Lin Lan went out and asked, "Teacher, how come you have time to come here?"

Han Qingping smiled and said, "I came here specifically to visit you."

When Lin Lan heard that the teacher was coming to visit her home, she suddenly became nervous. Did Da Wang make a mistake again, or did Sanluzi act naughty again?

The other three children were fine, so Lin Lan was not worried at all.

However, the problems of Dawang and Sanwang are still serious. After all, they are just children, and it is impossible to correct their bad habits in one day.

Although Da Wang no longer hangs out with bad people and can sit still and listen to the teacher's lectures, this does not mean that he is a good student. He is obviously not interested in this, and sitting in the classroom and listening to the lectures is just a forced task that he strives to complete.

Anyway, he can learn half of what he should learn.

Lin Lan didn't force him to study very well. As long as he could learn the necessary characters and arithmetic, that would be enough.

She made the same request to Sanwang.

But Dawang could barely complete it, but Sanwang could not even barely complete it.

This kid sat in the classroom, looking well-behaved, but his mind was somewhere else.

The teacher said ten sentences, but he probably couldn't remember a single one.

Da Wang can learn half of it, he estimates one tenth?

If you want to be a good student, why bother going to school? You would have gone back to work long ago.

But Lin Lan thought that after a few years, the Cultural Revolution would end, the college entrance examination would be resumed, the recruitment of workers in the city would be liberalized, and the self-employed would begin to sprout, and young people would face many opportunities. By then, they would have grown up and it would be the time for them to enter society. If they were uneducated and illiterate, it would be difficult for them to go out.

She wanted their future path to be a little smoother. Although everyone has their own path to walk, as a parent, they naturally wanted to do as much as possible for their children.

These were just a fleeting thought as Lin Lan invited Han Qingping to sit in the main hall.

Although it was cold, she still opened the gate to the courtyard and the door to the room, poured a bowl of hot water for the teacher, put two red dates in it, and scooped in a small spoonful of sugar.

Speak sweetly to the teacher so that he won't be so angry.

Han Qingping drank the water, which tasted sweet and comfortable. "Your Director Han doesn't care about his children's studies, so I'll come to you for this matter."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Teacher, please go ahead." But she was very nervous and wished that the teacher would finish what he was saying in one breath.

"That's it, Mai Sui and Er Wang are doing well in their studies, should we skip a grade?" Han Qingping took another sip of the sugar water. Talking about these two favorite students goes perfectly with drinking the sugar water, which makes him feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

Lin Lan's heart, which had been raised to her throat, fell back, and she smiled brilliantly, "Is it possible? Can they keep up?"

Han Qingping said, "Of course. I usually let them listen to my lectures to the second grade. Now they are transferred to the second grade, and they will follow them to the third grade in the fall."

At that time, Chinese class consisted of learning to read, writing essays, and memorizing some revolutionary articles, which was very easy for both of them.

As for mathematics, it is also very simple.

This was Han Qingping's strict requirement. Unlike other brigades, they did not fool the children by asking them to recite quotations or calculate work points.

"Since the teacher says it's okay, I have no objection." Lin Lan was of course happy.

In this way, when the college entrance examination is resumed, they can take it. Even if they fail the first time, they are still young and can still do it the second year.

Talking about good children is pleasant and simple, and the two of them enjoyed the conversation very much.

Then inevitably we have to talk about the other two children.

Use Xiaowang to make it through in the middle.

Han Qingping said: "Xiaowang is a good kid, but his interests are also very obvious. He is only fascinated by art and music."

Other subjects went on normally.

Lin Lan was also very happy.

Han Qingping didn’t know much about these, so he didn’t say much. Xiaowang was still young anyway.

He still wants to talk about Da Wang and San Wang.

At this time, Lin Lan could only listen and nodded frequently, "The teacher is right. The teacher is only responsible for education. If you are disobedient, you should be scolded or beaten."

Han Qingping: "Lin Lan, let me tell you, this child is not a problem to be beaten. If he doesn't like to study, beating him will be useless. Anyway, Erwang Maisui is such a good student, why not let those two families do the work, and you can also reduce the burden."

According to people nowadays, a family only needs to have one student, not all of them need to study.

After all, going to school is expensive and difficult, so you should always keep a child by your side to take care of you in your old age.

Lin Lan is not considering herself from her own perspective, but considering the future of her children, so naturally the situation is different.

"Teacher, at least let them finish primary school." After finishing primary school, they will have learned common characters, and it will be no problem for them to read books and newspapers by themselves in the future. As for what they like, they can study it.

Seeing that she insisted, Han Qingping knew that he could not persuade her, so he gave up.

Han Qingping was particularly kind to Lin Lan and said with a smile, "Actually, Dawang and Sanwang are also two good kids, but they are not interested in studying. Although Dawang is cold to everyone every day, he never bullies others, and his classmates all trust him. Whenever there is something that needs to be judged, they will find him, and they will listen to everything he says. Sanwang is a little naughty, but his nature is good. Apart from teasing girls who are good at studying, he does not bully others, and apologizes sincerely when he makes mistakes. He is also active in doing labor in school, and does not let girls interfere with dirty and tiring work. In fact, his classmates like him very much."

He is just very energetic and probably can't control himself, and he likes to show off.

Han Qingping: "It's okay for a child to be a little competitive, but he is a bit like a firecracker, and he gets mad at people. Others say that no one dares to eat peppercorns and star anise, but he just eats them in front of others. What do you think of this child?"

Lin Lan: "..." If someone said it was poison, no one would dare to eat it, but he picked it up and tasted it? This idiot must be controlled by his father.

Lin Lan was also a little worried, she was also crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Han Qingping advised her again that haste makes waste and she should not be impatient but should take things slowly.

"I'll discuss with his father tonight and see how to control him." Lin Lan said.

"Okay, I'm leaving now." He drank the sugar water, ate two dates, and then said goodbye to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan will see him off.

The children came back around three in the afternoon, and Mai Sui and Er Wang went home first.

Sanwang led Xiaowang, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and Dawang followed behind with his schoolbag on his back.

As soon as he entered the house, Sanwang handed the bunch of flowers and plants to Mai Sui and said, "Sister, this is for you. I hope you will be as beautiful as the flowers."

Sanwang pursed his lips and smiled with ill intention.

Mai Sui looked at the messy bunch of flowers with some disdain, but the winter jasmine in it looked good, so she took one out and said, "I'll just take one."

She put the flower to her nose to smell it, and saw a bug on it. She was a girl who worked on the farm, so why would she be afraid of a bug? Childish Sanwang, I'll beat you up if I can't help it!

"Ah—bugs!"

Lin Lan said, "Where are the bugs in this season? It's so cold that they haven't grown yet."

Mai Sui: "Mom, it's true." She took the bouquet and went to hit San Wang, "Hit you, you bad guy!"

Lin Lan glared at San Wang and said, "Sanlu, what did you do?"

Sanwang couldn't hold back his laughter, "It was cultivated from the land!"

Mai Sui pretended to be angry, "Get over here, or I'll beat you silly!"

Lin Lan also said, "Third donkey, hurry up and beat your sister up to vent your anger, or you will be in trouble."

Sanwang stopped running and stood up immediately, sticking his butt out. "Go ahead and hit me, but don't tire yourself out."

Seeing his shameless look, Mai Sui pinched his ears and said, "You forgot about the Lantern Festival and now you are sick again."

Sanwang immediately smiled and coaxed her, "I picked up a bunch of bugs. I brought them back to feed the chickens. They will lay eggs for you to eat, so I can have one more." As he said that, he took out a bag of bugs wrapped in leaves from his pocket and opened it. The visual impact was still shocking.

Wheat Ear: "Three donkeys!"

Sanwang has already gone to feed the chickens.

He now particularly likes to tease Mai Sui. He feels happy when he sees girls getting angry.

Especially those who are good at studying!

He dreamed of drawing a big duck egg for Mai Sui on her test paper where she scored 100 points, hahahaha.

Seeing that he was smiling so obscenely, Mai Sui slapped him and said, "Behave yourself."

Lin Lan led Erwang and Mai Sui to cook.

In early spring, new vegetables have not yet been planted and the stored vegetables are almost eaten up. It is a time of shortage of food.

Luckily, I planted some spinach and leeks in the yard and vegetable garden last year and covered them with straw, so they are ready to eat now.

Spinach vermicelli, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried black fungus and cabbage, plus other salty vegetables, it is a very rich dinner.

She forced Sanwang to light the fire for Maisui. Sanwang, like Dawang, didn't like doing housework, and lighting the fire was a punishment for him.

As a result, this kid couldn't stay idle when he was making a fire. He used a fire poker to paint a picture of a bearded and toothless old lady with her hair tied in a bun on the stove. Lin Lan forced him to clean it and let him do the laundry.

Erwang: "Mom! Don't let him touch the soap!"

Soap is very precious at home. When Sanwang was asked to wash clothes, the clothes were not washed away but dust was removed and the soap was used up.

Lin Lan also remembered and quickly told Sanwang to leave. "Go and shovel out the chicken and duck manure under the pen shed, and pile it up as manure to plant vegetables when the time comes."

If Sanwang went there, it would inevitably cause chaos and everyone would avoid him.

Xiaowang was playing the harmonica there, practicing the tune that Huo Yuan had taught him. He played it skillfully and with emotion, and it was a pleasure to listen to.

Xiao Wang had sharp ears. Hearing the sound of a bicycle, he ran over and said, "Mom, your boyfriend is back."

Lin Lan: "...kid, that's your dad, from now on just say dad is back, okay? Don't learn nonsense from your third brother."

Xiao Wang nodded after hearing what Lin Lan said, "Mom, I remember, my dad is back."

Han Qingsong was also covered in mud as he followed the farmers in tilling the fields. He took off his shoes and coat and came in.

Lin Lan poured him some water to wash his face and gave him her own towel to use.

After using it, Han Qingsong washed it in a basin and then hung it on a rope.

After dinner, the children did their homework and read books, and Sanwang was also kept at home by her and not allowed to go out.

Sanwang can't take Xiaowang out to go crazy, so Xiaowang plays the harmonica for the chickens, ducks and Wangwangs to comfort them when they are frightened by Sanwang's torment.

Lin Lan pulled Han Qingsong to the west room to talk to him about Sanwang.

This naughty boy has been going wild lately. She is not afraid of his wildness, after all, he is a boy, and the old ladies in the countryside always say that naughty boys are good. But Sanwang is still a bit serious.

In Lin Lan's opinion, when Sanwang was being naughty, he was just a seven or eight-year-old kid. If Dawang hadn't been watching him, he would have done something else.

Anyway, even if the wheat ears are two prosperous plus the small prosperous plus the big prosperous, even if they double, it is still not enough for him to buy by himself.

He and Da Wang have different ways of playing. Da Wang goes out to do adult things and doesn't care about children being naughty.

Sanwang is different. He is a serious naughty boy, but he is smarter than others, so he has more naughty tricks.

It was not very noticeable last year, but after the Chinese New Year this year, signs of it have already appeared.

For example, he scares his sister, saying he is protecting her but actually harms his brother.

Drawing wheat ears, releasing bugs, and throwing caterpillars are all trivial matters.

The day before yesterday, Lin Lan saw him trying to trick Xiao Wang into washing his face, so she followed his example and sank her face into the water. This guy was very good at holding his breath, and he stayed under the water for a long time without coming out, then he fluttered his hands and feet to pretend to drown, which scared Xiao Wang so much that he kept crying.

A few days ago, he made a kite and said he would take Xiaowang to fly it. As a result, they buried Xiaowang and several other children in the soil, put flower crowns on them, and covered them with mud, saying they were playing a game of marrying a wife. For this, Lin Lan hit him with a broom and he behaved himself, but he only behaved for two days, and then he went back to his old ways.

The key is that he is not as sensible as Da Wang. When you hit him, he either cries out in pain or laughs, but forgets the whole thing the next moment.

So corporal punishment doesn't seem to be that effective for him.

What worries her most is that Sanwang and Dawang are of the same lineage and have a ruthless nature.

Da Wang is brave and resourceful, but San Wang is very impulsive and cannot stand provocation. If someone says, "I can do XX, but you definitely can't," "No one dares to do this," or "You definitely don't dare," then he will definitely try.

He died in his previous life because of this temper!

Lin Lan was worried that he would suffer because of this in this life, so she would always find a way to teach him a lesson. However, he just ignored her advice and never listened.

Lin Lan was very anxious. Although Dong Huaihua said that the child was still young and would grow up to be sensible, she couldn't wait for him to grow up. Once his personality was set, it would be difficult to change it.

After all, they say that a person’s age can be determined at the age of seven!

She can't wait until her son gets into an accident before she regrets it.

After hearing her words, Han Qingsong nodded slightly and held her hand, "I'll take care of it."

Lin Lan said: "First, let him know what is right and what is wrong, and what he must not do. In addition, he still needs to learn something."

What Lin Lan cares about most is that he cannot stand provocation and is very competitive, which must be changed. In addition, he is naughty and active, and likes to tease girls, which also needs to be changed. Other things like being rude, jumping up and down, and climbing walls and trees can be dealt with slowly, maybe they will get better when they grow up.

In the next few days, Han Qingsong blew the whistle as usual to go for morning exercises, and Sanwang had no way to hide, so he got up early and followed him.

At the same time, Han Qingsong also made a few rules for Sanwang and asked Mai Sui to write them down and post them on the door. They would check them every day and supervise them together.

First of all, no matter what you do, you have to use your brain. Don’t just show off when others provoke you. Think about whether it is worth doing.

You are not allowed to damage your sister's things or other girls' things.

You are not allowed to take your younger brother to do bad things. Climbing trees, burying soil, jumping into pits, playing with fire, tying people up, using knives, etc. are all prohibited.

You are not allowed to say anything unpleasant that your mother has forbidden you to say, and you are not allowed to do anything that your mother has forbidden you to do.

You have to learn at least half of what the teacher says in class. Da Wang supervises Er Wang to check.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished. The rule is summarized every week. When all the mistakes are correct, a punishment will be imposed. One punishment means one whipping.

Whether it is considered a violation of the rules or not is up to my sister!

Now Sanwang behaved himself.

In the past, his mouth would chatter like a clockwork in front of Mai Sui, but now it is like a lock, and he would not say a word unless he had to. Mai Sui was so happy that his stomach hurt.

At the same time, Han Qingsong trained him more harshly. In addition to normal running, he also added other items, such as skipping rope a thousand times in the morning.

This will prevent him from being full of energy and wanting to act naughty all day long, which will only make him tired to the point of paralysis and feeling sleepy even at school.

Han Qingping commented with a smile: I would rather have him sleep quietly than wake up and cause trouble.

Lin Lan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the naughty kid still had to be dealt with by his father. Han Qingsong's words were more useful than her broom.

Who knew that during the Qingming Festival, Sanwang would get into trouble.
