Han Jinyu: "!!! Third brother, can you coax people?"
Han Qingsong: "I never lie." He spent what little patience he had on coaxing his wife, and had no time to coax others.
Han Jinyu was so angry that she stopped talking and sat down on the stool in front of the square table.
Old Mrs. Han was still muttering, "How can there be such a lazy wife? She is so lazy." The most annoying thing is that her son simply doesn't listen to her and insists on getting along with this lazy woman, a complete shrew!
Lin Lan in the room raised her fist and waved it. "Hmph, you say I'm lazy and greedy, but are you lazy and greedy? Your life is a mess, and you come to criticize me? You have such a big face! If it weren't for your son, I would kick you to Nanniwan!"
Han Qingsong asked the old lady to sit down again and poured her some water.
Old Mrs. Han sat down and began to wipe her tears. She and her daughter had suffered a lot recently. After the family was divided, the eldest sister-in-law Han took the rice and left, and the second sister-in-law Han took the sorghum and only took care of their own housework. As a result, there was no one to do the housework in her family, so only she and her daughter had to do it. She didn't want her daughter to suffer, so she had to do it herself. After a few months, she was so tired that her waist and legs ached every day.
Seeing that they were silent, Han Qingsong said, "Mom, please sit down. I will go and prepare dinner."
Old Mrs. Han couldn't stand it any more, "Old Third, why are you so cowardly?"
Han Qingsong frowned, but since it was his mother who said so, it was not a matter of losing face.
Lin Lan got dressed in the room, reading a book while listening to the noise. What were these two people doing here? Just to see if she was sleepy or not?
After a while, Mrs. Han resigned herself to the fact that it was useless to tell her son that she had bad things to say about her daughter-in-law. Her son would not listen, so she could only say unhappily, "You don't have to feel bad about me. I am also thinking about you."
Han Jinyu wanted to go to the east room to look around and see what good things Mai Sui had. Lin Lan was more generous to her daughter than to her son, and she always treated Mai Sui well by making clothes and shoes for her, especially since Mai Sui was vain and her own designs were quite nice. Han Jinyu had been jealous for a long time and wanted to take advantage of her mother while she was around.
Han Qingsong: "Don't mess around."
Han Jinyu said aggrievedly: "I am in my third brother's house, how can it be considered as a mess?"
Han Qingsong: "Besides your third brother, there are your sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces in this family. Those things are not mine."
Han Jinyu: "..." Why are you so cowardly? Your wife controls everything for you.
Old Mrs. Han waved her hands and said, "Old Third, there is something you need to do for me."
Han Qingsong looked at her and said, "Mom, you tell me what to do. I can't do anything about policy matters."
"Don't worry, you won't break the law." Old Mrs. Han said angrily.
Han Qingsong nodded: "Then you tell me, mother."
Old Lady Han looked at her daughter and said, "Look at your sister. She's already grown up."
Han Qingsong glanced at Han Jinyu and said, "It's okay, but she's still not very sensible."
Han Jinyu: ...Is that what I asked you to say? How am I not sensible? You are much more sensible than that greedy and lazy wife.
Old Mrs. Han sighed, "My children are all my flesh and blood. The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh. How can I not feel pain? Your sister's lifelong affairs need to be discussed now."
When Han Jinyu heard that they were going to talk about her marriage, she immediately pretended to be embarrassed like other girls and quickly hid away, but she stood at the door of the main room and listened.
She went to the west window and peeked in to see what Lin Lan was doing. When she looked in, she met Lin Lan's smiling eyes. She saw Lin Lan sitting in front of the window, twisting a pen between her fingers, with her cheek resting on her right hand, and smiling slightly with her face tilted up.
"Hey, you! You're up, why don't you come down and talk to your mother?" Han Jinyu pointed at Lin Lan.
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at her and twirled her pencil. "I've never seen anyone so anxious to find a husband for herself."
"You!" Han Jinyu was so angry at Lin Lan, but what she said was the truth.
Lin Lan was not used to her either, and whispered sarcastically: "You said you are so lazy and stupid, and you still want to marry into the city. Do you think that people in the city are all blind? Stupid? Don't you want to find a diligent and capable wife? Why do you look for you?"
"Wow~~" Han Jinyu burst into tears and rushed into the main room, "Third brother, she bullied me."
As long as she doesn't call him sister-in-law and keeps calling her Lin Lan by her name, Han Qingsong will not be nice to her.
His own daughter is so unruly, he wants to hire a whip.
Han Qingsong knew that Lin Lan had gotten up, so he pushed the door to the west room and said, "Let's eat."
Hearing how gently he served Lin Lan, Old Lady Han and Han Jinyu were almost going crazy. Such a good man should have been serving them.
Lin Lan smiled at him, crawled over, hooked her arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss. "Okay, I'm hungry."
She went downstairs to the main room to wash her face and brush her teeth, and said to the old lady who was sitting there with her eyes rolled, "Mom is here, let's have dinner together."
Han Qingsong had already taken out the breakfast from the pot, which included millet porridge, boiled eggs, mushroom stew, and mixed noodle dumplings.
Han Jinyu looked at the egg and was about to take it immediately, but Han Qingsong had already taken it in his hand, knocked it on the table, rolled it, peeled off the skin and put it in Lin Lan's bowl of millet porridge.
Old Mrs. Han thought that these eggs were laid by the chickens that Lin Lan had snatched away. Her Luhua chickens, her little hens, laid eggs very diligently, and she felt distressed.
Han Jinyu looked at Han Qingsong aggrievedly: "Third brother, why don't you give mother eggs to eat?"
Han Qingsong: "This egg was left by Xiaowang for his mother. Our mother will cook it again when she wants to eat it."
Lin Lan couldn't hold back her laughter, so she had to quickly smile at the old lady with great enthusiasm, "Mom, just focus on your business, don't worry about me."
After being interrupted by her, Mrs. Han's words became incoherent. She just wanted Han Qingsong to introduce a better partner to her daughter.
Han Qingsong was a little embarrassed, "Mom, can I introduce someone to you?"
Mrs. Han: "Why, are you unhappy?"
Han Qingsong: "I'm afraid that good intentions may lead to bad results." Although he knows a lot of people, he never cares whether they are married or single, and even less whether they love their wives or beat them. He feels that he is unreliable when asked to introduce people.
Old Lady Han said, "As long as you think about doing your best for your sister, you won't do anything wrong. Among your subordinates, there is a guy called Liu or something, who is from the county."
Han Qingsong: "Liu Jianyun?" Liu Jianyun is not bad. He seems easy-going, good at his job, and very capable. The key is that Han Qingsong doesn't know whether he is married or not. Moreover, he doesn't know how to start. Should he ask Liu Jianyun: Are you married? I have a lazy sister who wants to live a good life in the city. Is it okay for her to marry you?
Lin Lan smiled and said, "My aunt is not used to living in the countryside and cooking with a stove. She wants to go to the city to light a stove..."
Han Qingsong: "Why are you so coquettish?"
Han Jinyu glared at Lin Lan and said hesitantly, "Third brother, why don't you invite him... to our house for dinner?" This would also give her a chance to get in touch with Liu Jianyun.
Old Mrs. Han also chimed in, "That's right, for a meal. He came to the village before, but he didn't come to our house for a meal."
Han Qingsong: "Why should I invite him to dinner if there is no connection or reason?" He always feels that whoever invites him to dinner is letting him make mistakes, so he naturally won't let others make mistakes.
"Then... take me to the county..." As long as he gave an introduction, how could Liu Jianyun not know it, right?
By then, Liu Jianyun will naturally consider her for his sake.
Han Jinyu also found out that although Liu Jianyun was older, now only 25 years old, he was young, promising and handsome, so it would be nice to marry him.
Another candidate for Han Jinyu is Luo Haicheng. If she can't marry in the county town, she can go to the commune. If she goes to the commune, Luo Haicheng is the best candidate.
Luo Haicheng is also 24-25 years old this year, unmarried, his parents are brigade cadres, and they live a good life. If he goes, he won't have to farm.
This is the result of Han Jinyu's inquiries from many sources.
Han Qingsong refused. Why would he take her to the county if there was nothing to do? He would not take her if he had to handle a case. He was a serious and cold person. Generally speaking, he was close to his sister-in-law and elder sister, but he was very distant from his younger siblings and younger sister who was much older than him.
It can be said that he is very cold to other opposite sexes except for his wife. He is not even close to his daughter, let alone his sister. So if he is not sick and asked to take Han Jinyu to the county town like he takes his wife, he will definitely not agree.
Old Lady Han said, "Let's go to the county and make an appointment to watch a movie or listen to a play."
Han Qingsong frowned, "Mom, how can I have time to watch movies or listen to opera?" He didn't even go on a date with his wife to watch a movie or something, so why take his sister with him? What else did he do when he had nothing to do?
Mrs. Han was unhappy. "Why don't you have time? You are just sitting at home with nothing to do today."
Han Qingsong: "I am at home with my wife? I am not idle."
Lin Lan chuckled and said, "Why do you have to be so serious with Han Qingsong? In his eyes, spending time with his wife and children is as important as working and earning work points. It is many times more important than going out to chat and play with others."
The mother and daughter were so angry at Han Qingsong that they rolled their eyes.
Han Qingsong added: "You are still young, it is not too late to find a partner in two years. There are suitable young men in the nearby villages who are close to home and can take care of you..."
"Third brother! Why don't you hope that I get better?" Han Jinyu stamped her feet, "Didn't you listen to me? I told you to introduce Liu Jianyun or Luo Haicheng." Han Jinyu was anxious and blurted out without caring whether she was embarrassed or not. Who cares about the young men in the nearby villages, aren't they all farmers? She doesn't care!
Han Qingsong didn't think she was shameless. "It's better to find a partner who is well-matched." Besides, he didn't know the family situations of Liu Jianyun and Luo Haicheng.
Han Jinyu's eyes widened. "How can I not be a good match for them? My brother is the director, and they are the captains. How can we not be a good match?"
Han Qingsong: "When it comes to being a good match, look at the father rather than the brother."
To be honest, he didn't want Liu Jianyun and Luo Haicheng to marry such a wife. If it was for their own good, even if they couldn't marry someone like Lin Lan, at least they should marry someone who could support their lives and not cause trouble. This would be beneficial to their careers.
Old Mrs. Han and Han Jinyu were so angry with him that they didn't know what to say.
The old lady glanced at Lin Lan and said, "Don't be too patronizing and help your sister-in-law."
Lin Lan swallowed the egg in her mouth, glanced at the two of them, and said clearly: "I think what Third Brother said is right. If you envy me, why don't you also find a soldier who is in the army and can send back his allowance?" Generally, those who are demobilized or transferred are not as good as Han Qingsong. Most of them are arranged with an ordinary job.
"I don't care. I'm going to find someone who eats the government food anyway." Han Jinyu started to act like a spoiled brat.
Han Qingsong's face darkened. "Even if I eat public food, your sister-in-law can't eat it. What kind of person do you think you can find to eat?" At that time, the conditions for entering the city were very strict. Even if he was the director of the commune and the nominal deputy director of the county public security bureau, he could not take his wife and children with him.
Han Jinyu felt that since he was an officer and she was his sister, he should solve the problem for her.
Lin Lan couldn't stand her acting coquettishly with her man, "If you want to get married, it's not impossible. What about your former classmates?" Didn't she already find a man, Sun Yaowu? She could find another one.
It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned. Han Jinyu became even more furious after this was mentioned, "It's all because of you that everything got messed up." The others were all informed by Sun Yaowu, and no one contacted her anymore.
Lin Lan was surprised and asked, "So I have such a great ability?"
Han Qingsong said to Mrs. Han, "Mom, let me ask. I can't guarantee whether they are happy or not."
Lin Lan, however, felt that this was a bit difficult for him. He was always serious and always in a serious tone with his subordinates. Asking him to talk about his partner, wasn't this making things difficult for him?
She said, "I'll ask Qingyun first. He's younger and more familiar with them."
Old Madam Han was afraid that Lin Lan would be disturbed, so she repeatedly reminded her to pay attention, "This is your dear sister-in-law."
Lin Lan raised her eyebrows. Is there a kiss? This is the first time I've heard of this.
Seeing that it was almost time and that she had to go back to cook for Old Han and her eldest son, Mrs. Han took her daughter and left first.
After breakfast, Lin Lan said she would go to ask Han Qingyun.
Han Qingsong: "He didn't rest."
Lin Lan said, "That night."
…
In the afternoon, Han Qingsong did not go to work or go out to chat with others. Instead, he accompanied Lin Lan to his own vegetable garden to repair it. He had to trim the broken curtains, weed and catch insects, and plant what needed to be planted. It was evening when they were busy.
They washed their feet in the river.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the whole river surface was sparkling with golden light. White geese and ducks were swimming leisurely on the surface. Lin Lan sat on a rock by the river and soaked her feet in the water. The water surface was a little hot, but it was cool and comfortable inside.
"Wow, Third Brother, come and soak your feet. It's so comfortable." She waved to Han Qingsong who was washing grass on the other side.
After he finished packing, he came over and sat down beside her. The hot summer breeze blew across the water, bringing a cool breeze, brushing against her ears and lifting her soft hair, making her expression more vivid. Han Qingsong couldn't take his eyes off her.
"I'll teach you how to swim." he whispered in your ear.
Why are you being so ambiguous when talking about swimming? Lin Lan's ears were itchy from his warm breath. "I... am afraid." She was just about to say, "I can swim."
Han Qingsong touched her cheek and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "I'm here."
Lin Lan approached him and said, "If the two of us go swimming, I don't know how many people will come to watch. Let's forget it."
Han Qingsong: "Come in the evening."
He also didn't want his wife to wear a swimsuit and be seen by so many people with ulterior motives.
Seeing them lounging by the river, a member passing by whispered, "Look at these couples. It's not enough for them to loll at home all day. They have to go out and loll."
"That's right. I've never seen him hanging out with the old men. He just hangs around his wife all day."
When the weather warms up, the men go to watch shows when there are promotions, and when there are no promotions, they gather in the brigade headquarters to chat. Few men will stay at home with their wives. After all, their wives are theirs and they can't run away. When they come home at night, they can do whatever they want after blowing out the lights and getting on the kang. If they can find other fun things to do when they are not on the kang, they will.
Director Han is different. He either goes to work during the day, or hangs out with other men when he's not at work. Instead, he stays at home with his wife.
I don’t know how many women are jealous of him.
However, the men grumbled that if their wives were as pretty and considerate as Lin Lan, they would be eager to stay with her every day. Isn't that possible?
Han Qingsong persuaded his wife to go out and learn swimming at night, and the two of them walked home along the river with their belongings.
"Ah - help! Stop pecking me!"
Lin Lan was startled when she heard Sanwang's miserable cry coming from the river in the distance.
Han Qingsong motioned for her to ignore it, "He's being chased by a goose."
Lin Lan had heard Erwang talk about it but had never seen it with her own eyes. Now seeing the tragic scene of Black Pudding being chased by the giant goose, she naturally wanted to go and watch.
When they walked over, they found a dozen boys soaking in the river, including Dawang, Erwang and Xiaowang.
The boys in Lin Lan's family wore swimming trunks to school except for morning exercise and swimming. After school, they ran to the river, found a haystack to change into their swimming trunks, and then lined up at the water's edge from oldest to youngest. When Sanwang called one, two, three, they all jumped into the water.
It's already after school and we haven't had dinner yet, so it's a perfect time to play.
She saw Sanwang holding a fish in his hand, and three big geese were chasing him with a quack. Sanwang was chased all over the river, but the fish was lost. The children watching the fun in the river laughed out loud.
Finally, Sanwang had no choice but to dive under the water and walk through the goose's territory. He swam a long way before floating up, wiped his face, and said with a lingering fear, "What a close call!"
Xiao Wang clapped his hands and laughed, "Little Third Brother, you are swimming faster and holding your breath longer."
Sanwang bowed to the big white goose and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Several people laughed again.
Erwang turned around and saw his parents. He waved at them and Xiaowang immediately climbed ashore and handed the two crucian carps wrapped in straw to Lin Lan, "Mom, my third brother caught them!"
Lin Lan took it and wiped the water off Xiaowang's face with a handkerchief. The fair and tender child was sunburned. Xiaowang's skin could not get tanned by the sun, but it would turn red when exposed to the sun, and it would peel off in severe cases. She and Han Qingsong took Xiaowang home first, and let the brothers play for a while.
Sanwang caught some fish and could improve his life. Although the fish were not big, they were all wild and very delicious. They were best fried with a little oil or made into fish soup.
Mai Sui helped Lin Lan cook, and then went to the patio to read and do homework. It was usually dark at eight o'clock, so there was no need to light a lamp outside and waste oil.
Lin Lan said, "My dear girl, when the weather gets hot, leave your home and go out and play with them."
With Dawang and Erwang leading the way, Lin Lan was not worried no matter whether they went into the water or did anything else.
Mai Sui said, "Mom, I need to read more books. I heard on the radio that there seems to be a pilot class for workers, peasants and soldiers. Maybe we can go there when we grow up."
Lin Lan was very pleased that her daughter was so ambitious and no longer the vain and stupid girl she was in her previous life. She smiled and said, "You are only in the second grade, don't worry, maybe you can go to college when you grow up."
Mai Sui's eyes lit up, "Mom, is this really possible?"
Lin Lan said, "I think it might work. Look, aren't the pilot classes for workers, peasants and soldiers starting now? We can't just keep recruiting students. So many universities are lying waste. Besides, all walks of life need talents. It's not realistic not to recruit students."
What she said was not unusual, as everyone with some knowledge would say so. However, because Lin Lan knew the future direction, she was more confident and calm when she said it. Even if others said so, they did not know when the school would resume enrollment, and were just guessing.
But Mai Sui believed it without a doubt.
Soon Han Qingsong called Han Qingyun over.
Han Qingyun was very surprised: "Third brother, you called me when it's time to eat? Are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Oh my god, the sun is rising from the west! Everyone in the office knows that Director Han is a thief. He never lets anyone treat him to a meal, and he never treats anyone to a meal. He is such a stingy person. Now he is treating me to a meal. It is such an honor. No, it is not that the third brother is holding back evil intentions to avenge the whipping of him.
He suddenly became uneasy.
Han Qingsong: "Your sister-in-law asked you to come."
Han Qingyun was even happier, "My sister-in-law is so nice, always thinking of me." He subconsciously straightened his back and touched his hair, feeling that he looked more handsome.
Han Qingsong: “…” He suddenly wanted to kick him back, but he had to admit that the young man was just too confident.
Lin Lan was serving rice and bringing out some wine, and greeted Han Qingyun, "Qingyun, you still have to work today, you must be tired."
Han Qingyun: "Sister-in-law, that's true. Who is as capable as my third brother..." He felt the stern gaze from his boss and immediately smiled and said, "He's capable."
Han Qingsong asked him to sit inside.
Han Qingyun quickly refused, "Third brother, this is not good. I'll just sit outside."
Han Qingsong held his shoulders and asked him to sit inside. It was hot in the summer, and if they didn't eat in the yard, he would switch seats with his wife and let Lin Lan sit at the door to cool down.
The dishes on the table were rich and plentiful, all in large bowls or small pots. There were cucumbers smashed with garlic, green beans with pork fat, scrambled eggs with leeks, cold tomatoes with sugar, mushroom stew, crucian carp soup, and fried cicada turtles, filling the entire table.
Han Qingyun was surprised and said, "Sister-in-law, you guys are such a great team."
Lin Lan: "Aren't they all vegetables from the garden? Your sister-in-law picked the beans and gave them to me because she couldn't eat them."
Han Qingyun: I am in tears when I talk about this. There is a real difference between cooking with or without putting in effort. Their family is not poor, and there are many vegetables in the vegetable garden, but why do they feel so unsatisfied when eating them?
Sanwang was so moved when he saw Han Qingyun eating, he smiled and said: "Uncle, I understand you. Anyway, when I go to other people's houses and see the same food, I feel that it is not as delicious as my own." Of course, there was a lot of food to eat.
Han Qingyun: "I want to partner with your family."
Xiao Wang pointed at Lin Lan and the others proudly and said, "My mom, sister, and brother all cook delicious food!"
Han Qingyun was so envious, "So it's important to marry a good wife."
Lin Lan asked at the right time: "Qingyun, you are not ready to talk about your wife yet?"
Han Qingyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please introduce someone to me."
Lin Lan smiled, "You are so young, handsome and capable..." She felt Han Qingsong glance at her, so she looked back and smiled, "Third brother also thinks you are good, it must be easy to find a wife. We are not trying to marry an educated youth, there are still many pretty and capable girls in the Siwai Village. If you are interested, I will let my family and my sisters keep an eye on you, anyway, it's better to meet more girls."
Han Qingyun immediately said, "Sister-in-law, is there anyone similar to you?"
Han Qingsong picked up a piece of fish for him and said, "Eat fish."
Han Qingyun smiled bitterly: "Third brother is so good to me!" No one likes to eat a pot of fish soup that makes the fish meat as cotton-like as cotton.
After dinner, the children rushed to find the cicada turtle.
Lin Lan had similar conversations with Han Qingyun. She knew that Liu Jianyun and Luo Hai were both single, but Liu Jianyun's mother would definitely ask him to find a city girl. If not from his own unit, she had to be a lady from the factory. She would definitely not find one from the countryside.
Luo Haicheng's family was from the commune, and his father was a cadre in the brigade, so he could have found a partner in the countryside. But Luo Haicheng didn't listen to his parents and wanted to find one on his own. His parents introduced several people to him, but he didn't like any of them.
Lin Lan asked tentatively: "What do you think of our little aunt..."
Lin Lan had an expression that said, "You know what I mean."
Han Qingyun understood immediately. He scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, this..." He looked at Han Qingsong and said, "Third brother, why don't you call Luo Haicheng to take a look?" He thought it was unlikely. Luo Haicheng looked like a fool who had a straightforward temper and dared to confront the leader, but he was actually brave and resourceful, and he definitely wouldn't like someone like Han Jinyu who only had the appearance but could do nothing.
Han Qingsong: "I'll leave this to you."
Han Qingyun: "Ah? Third brother, then, what do you want?" Are you making a promise to the old lady or something?
Lin Lan said: "Qingyun, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, just give it a try so that everyone can have an idea. Also, don't put pressure on Luo Haicheng, you are not forcing him to find a partner, don't get me wrong." Otherwise, there would be no need for Han Qingyun to come forward.
Han Qingyun understood, "Okay, I know what to do." Then he took care of the old lady's task.
The next day, he asked Han Jinyu to go to the commune to meet Luo Haicheng first. He helped introduce them so that the two could have an impression of each other. When Luo Haicheng saw Han Jinyu, his eyes lit up. After all, Han Jinyu had a good appearance, had been to school and learned how to dress up, and her clothes were not so rustic. At first glance, she was still very eye-catching.
Han Jinyu felt that it was about right.
She and Han Qingyun were very relaxed and confident on their way back, as if the matter was a sure thing.
When entering the village, she asked Han Qingyun: "Brother Qingyun, Liu Jianyun's family is so well-off."
Han Qingyun was used to her being shameless and discussing her marriage with him, so she said, "That's right. We both want to find someone from the city. Can a city person lower his status? Don't think Liu Jianyun is friendly, his parents are very strict."
Han Jinyu didn't say anything and thought it would be okay to contact Luo Haicheng first.
Later, when he went to the county on a mission, Han Qingyun took Luo Haicheng on a detour to his home to sit for a while and have a meal, and by the way, he met Han Jinyu again.
Luo Haicheng asked quietly: "Is this your sister?"
Han Qingyun smiled and said, "How could I be so lucky to have such a sister? This is our director's little sister."
Luo Haicheng was surprised: "Director Han has such a young sister?"
"Well, you know I have a younger brother." Han Qingyun smiled.
The light on Luo Haicheng's face faded, he said "oh" and stopped talking about Han Jinyu.
Han Qingyun also asked him, "What do you think of my sister? If you like her, I can help you find her." He thought Luo Haicheng should like a pretty female student like Han Jinyu.
Luo Haicheng smiled and said politely, "It's fine, but it's not suitable for me. Don't say anything nonsense, lest people misunderstand and affect the girl's reputation."
Han Qingyun: "How can it be inappropriate? She is so beautiful and has a good figure."
Luo Haicheng just said it was inappropriate.
Han Qingyun was anxious: "You said you are a straightforward person, and you are never afraid of offending your superiors. What are you talking about now? Are you afraid that I will tell my third brother and make things difficult for you? Ha, am I Han Qingyun that kind of person?"
Luo Haicheng smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Of course it has nothing to do with Director Han. If this girl is someone like our director, I would love her. Even if the director is not happy, I will have to nag him every day."
Han Qingyun was a little puzzled. After all, he was not as shrewd as Luo Haicheng.
Luo Haicheng: "Let me put it this way, this girl grew up with her parents, right? She grew up with Han Qinghua, right?"
Han Qingyun nodded: "As a daughter, of course she grew up with her parents."
"That's it. Let me tell you, if our director hadn't followed the organization and hadn't been trained by the government forces, maybe...haha, right." Luo Haicheng and Han Qingyun were good brothers with similar interests and were never very reserved in their words. Plus, he knew that Han Qingsong would never care about anything because of personal matters, so he dared to say it.
Han Qingyun understood what he meant. He was attracted by Han Jinyu's appearance, but not her temper. He judged her to be the same as Han Qinghua and Old Lady Han. He thought to himself, you have such a vicious look, you must be a spirit, you look so cruel without any contact, no wonder you flattered my third brother as soon as he took office, you are so smart!
However, he also admired Luo Haicheng's courage. He was attracted by a girl's appearance but could resist being moved by her beauty.
Han Qingyun sighed, "That's true. Not everyone is like my third sister-in-law, who can change so quickly."
Luo Haicheng also nodded, and said with a bit of regret: "Why don't we brothers have such good luck in finding wives?"
Han Qingyun personally told Old Lady Han and Han Jinyu what Luo Haicheng meant. Anyway, they had never had a formal contact, and Luo Haicheng was not afraid of offending anyone by making it clear. This was also a clear statement that it was inappropriate.
Of course, Han Qingyun was not stupid enough to directly tell Luo Haicheng what he said about Old Lady Han's poor upbringing. He just said that Luo Haicheng didn't want to marry the director's sister because it would be difficult to do his job, and he already had someone he liked.
Han Jinyu was angry again, throwing things and hitting things, "Mom, you said my third brother was helping me, but he was doing more harm than good, and was holding me back. If it wasn't for him, Luo Haicheng would definitely be happy."
She is a girl, vain, and has come into contact with many people. She can feel that Luo Haicheng looks at her with interest.
As a result, because the third brother was his boss, he gave up the idea.
She was not convinced and later went to the commune to find Luo Haicheng, demanding an explanation as to why he looked down on her just because her brother was the director.
Luo Haicheng never expected that Han Jinyu was so bold that she would disregard her reputation and come directly to talk about this matter with a young man who she had only met two or three times, without saying a few words to him and who had never publicly expressed her intention to date!
He was being sensible. If he had gone out and made a scene without restraint, then Han Jinyu would have been in great trouble.
"Tell me, why do you look down on me? Is it because I am not good-looking or what? Why is it that my third brother is the director, but he has become a stumbling block for me to find a partner?" Han Jinyu felt wronged and aggressive, because she had imagined and simulated it many times at home and talked about it with Mrs. Han many times. After so many times, she actually wanted to connect herself with Luo Haicheng, as if the two of them were very familiar with each other and should be a pair.
But Luo Haicheng is not familiar with her!
He even suspected that this girl had a problem with her brain. They were not familiar with each other, but she questioned him in such a tone as if they were very familiar with each other. If it were not for Han Qingsong and Han Qingyun's face, he would really say something rude like "Girl, you may have a problem with your brain. You should go see a doctor before finding a partner."
"Comrade Han Qingshan, you have misunderstood me and Director Han." You have misunderstood yourself even more! Luo Haicheng was extremely embarrassed. "I don't look down on you, nor do I like you. Please don't misunderstand me. This is not good for both of us."
It's really hard to say this kind of thing out loud. Can he tell Han Jinyu, you said you were Director Han's sister, but you and Director Han look like brother and sister, and in other ways you look like they were raised by the same mother. I don't want to bring unrest to my family if I marry you?
In the end, Han Qingyun hurriedly told Han Qingsong that Han Jinyu came to see Luo Haicheng.
Han Qingsong went to take Han Jinyu away personally.
Luo Haicheng broke out in a cold sweat, "Director Han, I have something else to do, I'll leave first." He fled away as if he was escaping, and found an opportunity to go out for a few days and not appear in front of Han Qingsong to avoid embarrassment.
…
After Lin Lan found out, she complained to Han Qingsong, "She didn't even talk about it openly, and she questioned him without even starting anything."
Oh my god, how embarrassing is this? And if an unmarried young woman is introduced by a matchmaker, it's fine to go and meet someone privately. But if there is no matchmaker, and she suddenly goes to someone to talk about this topic, isn't that shameless?
It's fine if Luo Haicheng is interested in her, and they are in love and meet secretly. But it's clear that Luo Haicheng is not interested, but she is justified in confronting him.
Where did she get the courage from! Did Fish Leong travel through time and space to give it to her?
She had a feeling about Luo Haicheng. It wasn't that he didn't know what was good, but that he was too shrewd!
She never said anything about the old lady in front of Han Qingsong, but it was okay to talk about Han Jinyu.
Because of this, Han Qingsong went to tell the old lady that he had no control over the introduction of a partner and that it was "not appropriate."
Old Lady Han said angrily, "That Luo guy is too ignorant. You have to teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful we are."
Han Qingsong: Now you know why they are unhappy.
He didn't say anything else. It was a relief. Old Lady Han and Han Jinyu never let him introduce anyone to a date again. Even Han Qingyun was looked down upon by them.
After returning home, Lin Lan comforted Han Qingsong: "Third brother, don't be angry. Everyone has their own destiny. You can't force it."
Han Qingsong: "I'm not angry."
But the way Lin Lan looked at him was a little aggrieved, as if he was acting coquettishly towards her? Lin Lan was shocked by her. Han Qingsong could still act coquettishly! Maybe she was shortsighted.
She laughed at herself, and while the children were playing in the yard, she tiptoed to kiss him, wanting to comfort him, but was lifted up by Han Qingsong.
"Hey, hey, hey, put it down quickly and be careful of the consequences!" Lin Lan was caught off guard and had to cling to his shoulders.
In summer, people wear less clothes, and her breasts are full and firm, which is enough to make him feel excited when they are pressed against his body. He enjoys this feeling and likes to tease her, but he won't let her know.
Lin Lan thought he wanted to kiss her, so she quickly moved forward and gave him a lingering kiss, blushing and heartbeating, "Let go quickly, don't let Sanluzi see it."
Other children would just pretend not to see it, but that child was different!
After a few days, the weather became hotter, with the sun scorching and cicadas chirping.
Farm work is not so busy at this time. We mainly weed in the fields, so the members can have some free time.
The days are long and the heat is intense, so you need to take a nap at noon to relieve your fatigue.
Lin Lan liked to clean the gatehouse neatly, put a straw mat there and take a nap, looking at the green ground outside and listening to the cicadas chirping in her ears, feeling leisurely and carefree.
Han Qingsong was afraid that she would be too cold sleeping on the floor, so he asked someone to make a small wooden bed with the remaining boards, and put it in the gatehouse, and spread a straw mat on it for her to sleep in. There was a screen wall to block the draft, and with the door open, it was airy and not stuffy, making it a good place to cool off.
Lin Lan was holding Xiao Wang in her arms and fanning him with a palm-leaf fan while he took a nap when she heard the children whispering in the main room.
Erwang: "You can't do this. You already have one bowl. If you keep going like this you'll have to change the bowl."
Sanwang: "I saw that mother kneads dough like this, adding water to the dough."
"You added too much! If you add more noodles, the big bowl won't be able to hold it all." Erwang whispered to him.
Mai Sui was taking a nap in the room. He felt exhausted when he couldn't wake up. He called out to them, "What are you mumbling about? You've been mumbling all afternoon."
Sanwang stuck out his tongue and said, "I just wanted you to sleep, so I didn't ask you to help me with the gluten."
At this time, Lin Lan came in, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and looking at them curiously, "Black Pudding, what are you doing?"
Sanwang: "Mom, I think it's a pity that so many cicadas will go crazy in a month or two. Why don't I catch them and roast them and eat them."
Sanwang is an energetic boy who never wants to take a nap. He thinks it is a waste of time, so he either goes swimming or fishing or does something else.
Last night he heard Lin Lan say that cicadas die after one or two months, and he thought it was a waste. After thinking about it for a whole morning, he decided to catch them and eat them. He also heard Han Qingsong say that gluten could be used to stick them together, and he became excited and decided to make gluten himself.
Making gluten is simple. Knead a piece of flour and wash it with water, remove the starch and leave the gluten. Put it on a tree leaf and expose it to the sun. It will become very sticky in half a day. Then wrap it around a long and thin pole and use it to stick cicada wings. You can stick it every time.
Usually the older brother would do the gluing, while the younger brothers and sisters would take the thick needle and thread the thick thread, stringing the cicadas one by one on the thread.
Making gluten is not difficult, but for some people, kneading the dough is a hurdle. And at this time, fine noodles are good things, and no one would give them up. Only Lin Lan dotes on her children so much and lets them do whatever they want.
Lin Lan almost died of laughter when she saw Sanwang kneading the dough. She was really the stupid woman in the nonsense story. She added flour when there was too much water, and added water when there was too much flour. She changed from a small basin to a big basin, and finally changed directly to a large dough jar.
She said, "Come and let me teach you."
Erwang still feels sorry for the damage done to Sanwang.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's okay. If there are any left, we can make steamed cakes to eat at night." She looked at Sanwang's hands again, "Did you wash your hands?"
Sanwang laughed like a little Bao Gong, "Of course... I didn't wash it, hahaha." He was afraid that Lin Lan would hit him, so he quickly said, "I washed it, I didn't lie."
Lin Lan made a piece of gluten for Sanwang and kept the washed starch for kneading dough. Looking at this, she got an inspiration again and thought that she could make liangpi for the children with the starch in the evening.
The gluten quickly became sticky, and Sanwang immediately and excitedly pulled his elder brother Erwang to catch cicadas.
There was a small forest at the door, and they went there to stick.
After all, Sanwang was small and his hands were not strong enough, so it was still very difficult for him to catch the cicada. Erwang could do it, but he felt that it was not worth it to keep looking up and staring at the small cicada in the leaves. Dawang was the best. He held his breath and held the pole steadily with both hands without shaking. As long as he found the right position and pushed it up quickly and accurately, the dough would stick to the cicada's wings in an instant.
Sanwang was so excited that he jumped up and down: "Brother, you are so awesome!"
While they were busy, someone came over and said to them with a smile: "Hey, you are catching cicadas. Let me tell you, I am an expert at catching cicadas. Come, I will help you catch them."
Hearing the voice, Da Wang slowly turned around and looked at him, "Si Da Da, you're back?"
