In the evening, Lin Lan told Han Qingsong about Han Jinyu's blind date.

Han Qingsong was not surprised when he heard that Han Jinyu went to the county for a blind date. Maybe she was introduced by her classmates, so he didn't care much.

In the next few days, Lin Lan found that Han Qinghua was always very friendly and smiling every day. In the morning, when Han Qingsong took his sons to do exercises, he also ran along, saying that it was a habit on the farm and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't do exercises at home.

Han Qingsong did not reject him, so Lin Lan naturally did not become suspicious, because Han Qinghua looked normal after all.

After the blind date, Han Jinyu came to borrow her bicycle twice more. Although the boss was still not happy about it, he would still call her sister-in-law. Lin Lan was also polite to her and didn't always stab her.

When the children had a day off, after breakfast, Lin Lan announced that she was going to the river to wash clothes.

Sanwang ran to grab a seat first, and the others came along, some carrying baskets, some holding basins, some holding soap, and some carrying small stools, making a huge noise.

Xiaowang took the lead, "We are the successors of socialism~~Let's get ready~" and then the whole family sang the Young Pioneers song and marched towards the river.

The village placed some stone slabs at several places where the river often flows, so that the villagers can wash grass and clothes here. After the weather gets warmer, this place becomes a popular place, with women washing clothes coming and going every day.

Sanwang occupied the best spot, leaving room for his mother, sister and second brother to wash on the shore, and the rest of the spots were reserved for other women.

Lin Lan and Mai Sui washed on the stone slab. They applied soap and began to rub it with a crackling sound. The large sheet was too heavy and made of homespun cloth, so it was very difficult to wash.

Sanwang and Erwang stood on the stone slabs to help step on the stone. Sanwang shouted the chant he made up, "One, two, three, wash clothes, apply soap! Chachachacha, step harder! I want you to step harder!"

Erwang couldn't help but shout harder and harder, "Sanwang, stop shouting. My feet are numb from all the stepping."

Sanwang burst into laughter.

Xiao Wang had already taken off his clothes and was lying in the water, with his glasses tied to his head with an elastic band. He asked Lin Lan to watch him swim. "Mom, do you think I look like a little fish?"

Lin Lan watched him move his arms and legs, opening and closing his mouth to imitate a fish blowing bubbles, and said with a smile, "What a big fish."

Xiao Wang began to sing: "I am a fish~~ I swim from east to west~~ I am a fish~~ I sink from top to bottom~~ If you see me~~ I will kiss you~~ I am a fish~~ ~~ Love you - I love you~~~"

When he sang this part, he sat up and pouted at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan leaned over and gave him a kiss on the forehead, imitating Xiao Wang's voice, "I am a little cat, and I love little fish the most~~"

Sanwang and Haha came over with a smile and wanted to eat the fish, but Xiaowang swam away far away in a flash.

Soon other women came running over, "Hurry, hurry, there's no room!"

They thought they had arrived early, but they found that Lin Lan had already taken the best spot with her children, which made them feel annoyed.

Some women were unhappy and grumbled, "There's a river to the west of her house, why did she come here?"

The river that passes by the village is where women wash clothes and grass. For convenience, the brigade will bring people to put slate or big stones. Most people wash near their homes to save trouble, but sometimes when washing large items or there are many people, they will go to the place with big slate.

It was ok to wash grass under the river bank at Lin Lan's home, but the stones were too small to be suitable for washing clothes, so she brought her children here to wash them.

Public places are not exclusive to anyone. And Lin Lan only occupies three seats, and the other places are empty.

It’s just that those women were used to coming here together every day, and subconsciously they felt that this place belonged to them, so they felt a little resistant when they saw Lin Lan coming over.

Lin Lan was unaware of their subtle thoughts and even greeted them. She chatted with those she knew and just smiled at those she didn't.

Soon the women lined up by the water, washing clothes with a clacking and banging sound. They were reluctant to buy soap, and they washed the clothes by soaking them in alkaline water and then beating them with a mallet.

Lin Lan watched from the side and saw that those women were really washing clothes as if they were doing farm work, banging the clothes very hard, and she didn't know if the clothes were banging hard or not.

Lin Lan washed herself silently, and looked carefully when applying soap, applying less to clean areas and more to dirty areas to save money.

She and Mai Sui were washing on the stones, San Wang and Er Wang helped step on them with their feet, Da Wang helped rinse in the water, and Xiao Wang was responsible for singing and entertaining everyone. With the help of the children, the washing was easy and fast, which made the women envious, "Look at my children, they are also helping with the washing. They are so obedient."

"That's right. The ones in our family play around whenever they have free time, like donkeys."

Another woman couldn't stand the envy of Lin Lan, so she laughed and said, "You are capable. You don't need to call the child. Normally, none of us would be willing to call such a young child."

It was as if the country kids were rich and precious, but everyone else understood what she meant. She was mocking Lin Lan in a disguised way for being lazy and not willing to do heavy work in the fields. It was said that the kids cooked at home and could sleep until ten o'clock in the morning!

The women laughed knowingly at each other.

Lin Lan doesn't care. You guys can laugh as much as you want. As long as I have a husband and children to live, I won't eat your food even if I'm lazy.

At this time, a woman saw Lin Lan holding such a large piece of soap, as if she had seen something extraordinary, "Mom, this is soap, it's so big? Is it good to use? Can it remove dust?"

Many women came to watch. They seldom bought this thing. Occasionally they would buy a small piece for the New Year or to show off, but they would not spend money on it on other days.

Lin Lan: "It's useful." Anyway, it's better than using an alkali-based brush to remove dust.

Seeing how surprised they were, Sanwang laughed and said, "My mother bought four big ones!" He gestured, "Like bricks."

Some women were envious, some pouted, saying, "What's the point of showing off? If your husband wasn't the director, you couldn't afford it. Humph!" They said nothing, rubbing their clothes vigorously and banging them with wooden mallets.

Sanwang: ...You ask questions, but then you ignore me after I answer them. Women are really hard to understand.

After treading for a while, he went to rinse with his elder brother. He swam in the water while pulling open the large quilt so that the clothes could be rinsed more cleanly.

Some women were unhappy, "Sanwang, you have mixed up the water like this, how can we wash?"

In fact, Sanwang had already started swimming. The water was so deep that there was no muddy water at all. She just felt unhappy.

Whenever I see Lin Lan, I feel like she's showing off all the time.

Everyone has given birth to several children. Everyone else has wrinkles and freckles on their faces, but why are you so clean? Everyone else has a distorted figure, with thick waists and big hips, but why do you have a thin waist and long legs? Why are you showing off?

Everyone is wearing a bucket-like jacket and jacket, why do you have to tighten your waist? I know you have big breasts, why do you still have to lift them up?

Are they really that funny?

Country women don't pay attention, and some of their breasts hang down to their stomachs. Some people joke that a woman carrying a child on her back can simply lift her breasts up to feed the child.

Besides, why do you bring all the children here to do laundry? It's to show off that you have many children and that they are obedient. They are all handsome, and they are all wearing those slippery pants? They are rare at first glance.

The same goes for washing clothes. Everyone uses alkali to wash, so why do you use soap? You are showing off your family is rich! You are showing off that your husband is the director!

Lin Lan is too different. It is wrong to have her in front of them. She just shows off and makes them look old, unfashionable and poor.

Because these people didn't interact much with Lin Lan on weekdays, they isolated her at this moment. Several women deliberately laughed loudly and left Lin Lan aside.

Lin Lan: Are you childish? I don’t care.

Several women wanted to isolate Lin Lan, but they found that the son and daughter were chatting happily and didn't care whether they paid attention to them or not, which made them feel a little disappointed.

Some people wanted to take advantage of the situation and asked to borrow Lin Lan's soap. "I have this soap at home, but I just ran out of it and didn't have time to buy more. I've run out of alkali powder. Give me the soap and let me see if it works. If it does, I'll buy a few more."

The tone was as if making soap was for people's faces.

Sanwang: "My mother bought a lot. We can sell it to you for one yuan. Thirty-two cents, not counting the travel expenses. It's for helping you carry it."

The woman had already reached out to grab the soap, but her face fell when Sanwang said that. "Oh, this is all speculation. We dare not do it again or we will be arrested and forced to do hard labor."

Erwang said, "That's not right. Speculation means buying goods at a low price and selling them at a high price to make money. We bought them from the supply and marketing cooperative, and how can it be considered speculation if I give them to you at the original price? Who has the time to help others carry things?" These women have lived near Shanzui Village all their lives and have no chance to go to the county.

The woman who wanted to take advantage just stepped back, curled her lips, and ignored Lin Lan. She felt that with her reputation as a shrew and a lazy mother-in-law, there was nothing special about her except that she was good-looking and could use her words to coax cadres.

When it comes to speculation, several women started talking. "I used to sell some things secretly at my uncle's house. I heard that it is not allowed now and the management is strict. I was caught twice and all my things were confiscated. If I do it again, I will be sent to labor reform."

"Yes, I heard that too. Some were shot to death."

The commune revolutionary committee was in charge of all this speculation and profiteering, and Han Qingsong and his Public Security Bureau had no say in it, so Lin Lan had never heard him talk about it.

But if this is really the case, Lin Lan feels that she should remind her third sister.

Lin Lan didn't think it was a big deal that members did something during the period of material shortage, but the policy still had to be followed. After all, how could ordinary people go against the policy?

Especially since Han Qingsong is a cadre, she naturally wouldn't want to do this.

When the big bed sheet was almost washed, several boys went into the water to pull it up and rinse it again and again. Xiaowang slid over like a little fish and helped to pull up the bed sheet. After playing with it for a few times, the bed sheet was rinsed cleanly, which was easier and cleaner than the women washing it on the shore.

Then Da Wang and Er Wang dragged them back, and they folded their arms and worked together to pull it. "One, two, three, pull, one, two, three, pull!"

Several women who had originally isolated Lin Lan were now extremely jealous when they saw that the other child was helping her mother with housework. They didn't say anything but their eyes showed envy.

After squeezing it dry, he threw it into the basket. Da Wang borrowed a few poles from the haystack and put the bed sheet in the sun to dry. Then he washed the bed sheet and clothes. After washing everything, the bed sheet was almost dry, so he didn't have to worry about having no place to dry it when he got home.

"These kids are really good at thinking of tricks." Several women muttered.

Sanwang saw that the big quilts had been washed, and what was left were small mattresses and cotton shirts and trousers. He had no place to use them, so he shouted, "Mom, I want to apply for gluten to catch cicadas."

Lin Lan: "Let your second brother help you. Don't bother yourself."

Erwang wiped his hands and said, "Let's get the gluten first, and then stick it on after we eat."

Sanwang was eager to give it a try: "Brother, please go after dinner. I can go now and practice my skills." He was very anxious and wanted to be as good as his elder brother, who could defeat everyone with one strike.

When they heard that they actually used fine flour to wash gluten and catch cicadas, several women were furious, "Why are they wasting food like this?"

Someone grumbled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"God, may you be struck by lightning" is a harsh word used to insult people. It is not usually used in such insults. Lin Lan got angry when she heard them say this. They had bullied her before, but she didn't take it seriously. But my child didn't use your noodles to wash gluten. Who are you to judge? God is thundering. You said it would thunder, so it thunders?

She also said in an angry tone: "How can you waste food? The cicadas you caught aren't meat?"

"How many can you make? It's not a waste of time and energy. If you have that much time, you can earn work points by mowing the lawn." Some women were not happy that Lin Lan was so addicted to children.

"Just because you can't stick to something, you say others are wasting food? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Lin Lan snorted.

Da Wang originally didn't want to go catch cicadas, but when he heard that Lin Lan was being urged to do so, he hung up all the sheets and led his brothers to catch cicadas.

Xiaowang immediately climbed ashore and stood on a large stone slab, asking Lin Lan to help wipe the water off his body. He put on a vest and carried a harmonica on his back, "Mom, I'll play the harmonica for the cicadas so that they will be more willing to be stuck by Big Brother."

The women nearby all smiled secretly at each other as they listened.

Lin Lan let the children go and she would wash the clothes herself. If Mai Sui didn't want to go, she could stay and help her wash the clothes.

When the children went to catch cicadas, they brought them some cakes and salted vegetables to fill their stomachs so they wouldn't get hungry.

After eating the cakes, Lin Lan and Mai Sui decided to wash up before going home to avoid having to come a second time.

Some of the women finished washing and left, while others came back after dinner. Seeing Lin Lan still washing, some laughed and said, "Oh, how can you be so busy today? You'll need to wash all day."

Whether it was flattering or bullying, the person concerned could tell as soon as he heard it that it was a mockery of Lin Lan for being lazy on weekdays and pretending to be diligent today.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. There are too many quilts and clothes. It will take a day to wash them."

After hearing her words, several women looked unhappy. They only had one quilt at home and washed it once a year, so there was no need to make such a fuss.

Moreover, their cotton-padded clothes are worn for more than half a year before being washed. They are really dirty and torn. After being soaked in alkaline water and then hit with a mallet, black water comes out.

They stopped talking to Lin Lan, and Lin Lan was too lazy to care. It was just washing clothes, why was there such a fuss?

As a result, when she and Mai Sui were almost done washing, the children came here again to catch cicadas.

Sanwang shouted, "Mom, look!"

Several women turned their heads to look, their eyes wide open. Could this be fake? Who could catch so many cicadas?

Look at that child holding a bunch of cicadas. The cicadas are chirping and want to fly, but unfortunately many of their wings have been plucked off and they can't fly.

Lin Lan laughed and said, "Ah, a piece of gluten can be exchanged for so many cicadas. These are all meat, and they are more delicious than pork."

Several women stopped washing clothes and turned to watch Da Wang catching cicadas. He was holding a long pole with thin twigs tied to the end, and gluten was wrapped around the twigs. He stood quietly under a poplar tree, motionless, just staring with his eyes, and when he saw the right cicada, he would catch it in one go.

After Da Wang got the cicada, he put it down. Er Wang immediately ran over to take it down, then removed the impurities from the gluten and checked the gluten. If it was not enough, he would add another circle.

When Da Wang was catching cicadas, his movements were small, so few cicadas were startled. Even if they flew up, they did not fly far away and landed on nearby trees.

While the women were watching for a while, Da Wang had already caught five or six.

What a speed!

They found that the younger one was even more amazing, holding a harmonica and blowing it softly. Could it be possible that the cicada was dazzled by the sound of the harmonica? I don't know if it is really not stupid anymore.

I don't know if I can get dizzy by blowing it, but Xiaowang is blowing it with a pious heart, because Xiaosan said that cicadas go crazy after one month, and we should catch them and eat them to contribute to the glow and heat of their stomachs.

Xiaowang felt that it was too pitiful for them, as they only had one month to live and could not eat meat, but could only drink wind and eat tree sap, so he decided to play the harmonica for them!

…

After washing the clothes and returning home, Lin Lan lit a fire to burn cicadas for the children.

If it is a cicada turtle, it is best to fry it in oil. The breast in the middle is full of protein and the belly is full of juice. It is delicious and nutritious. But the belly of the cicada is empty and the skin is relatively dry. It doesn't taste good when fried in oil. Only the meat inside the breast is good. It is better to eat it over fire than frying it in oil. The belly is crispy and fragrant, and the breast still has meat. The taste and texture are good.

Da Wang caught more cakes and baked a small pot of them. San Wang was still not satisfied and asked his eldest brother to continue catching cakes.

At this time, Han Qinghua and Han Jinyu came in with someone from outside. Seeing Sanwang eating roasted cicadas in the yard, they said with a smile, "Why didn't you call me to catch cicadas? I can catch more with your brother."

Lin Lan got up and went out when she heard Han Qinghua's voice. It turned out to be Liu Haozhe and his brother and sister. She smiled and said, "Liu Haozhe is here. It's just right for him to come over and eat cicadas."

Liu Haozhe smiled and said, "Hello, Third Sister-in-law."

After the children greeted them, they picked up the small basin and placed it on the table in the main room.

Han Jinyu said disdainfully, "Is it dirty? You guys are eating this."

Han Qinghua: "Sister, you don't know this, this cicada is best when roasted." He took one and put it in his mouth, then said to Liu Haozhe: "Brother Haozhe, try it, you definitely can't eat this in the county."

Liu Haozhe smiled and said, "I ate this when I was a kid. There were so many trees in the county back then, so we would go and stick them on trees, and we could stick on quite a few trees." He looked at the pole that Sanwang was holding with nostalgia, "Little classmate, can you let me try?"

Sanwang glanced at his eldest brother, Dawang nodded, and he handed it to Liu Haozhe.

Han Qinghua glanced at Han Jinyu and poked her. Han Jinyu reluctantly put a bag of candy on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, Liu Haozhe bought this for you."

Liu Haozhe heard this and laughed, "It's my first time here and I couldn't think of anything to buy, so I just bought a bag of candy to save trouble."

Lin Lan thanked him and asked the children to share the candy, and the children thanked Uncle Liu.

Han Qinghua was busy going to the small woods outside to catch cicadas. Liu Haozhe was also interested and left with a group of boys.

Han Jinyu hated the sun and was not very happy. She pouted and looked unhappy. She did not follow them and sat down at the table to eat candy.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Don't be so sullen. If you don't like it, just take it back. The children will be grateful if they eat a piece."

Han Jinyu curled her lips and turned to look at Lin Lan, looking very seriously and hard, with a look in her eyes that looked a little strange.

Seeing her like that, Mai Sui immediately asked, "Aunt, what are you doing?"

Han Jinyu snorted, curled her lips, and said in a sinister tone: "Third sister-in-law, I just discovered today that you are actually quite pretty."

Oh, rare!

Lin Lan looked at her sour expression and said with a smile, "It's a pity that she is too old. She has given birth to a child and can't compare with you little girls."

Han Jinyu went to see Mai Sui again, "Mai Sui, you are so great now. You can go to school again, and you are still so conceited."

Mai Sui: "Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be so gloomy. It's your blind date today. If your future uncle sees you like this, he will definitely end the relationship with you."

"You!" Han Jinyu slammed the table in anger, "You are just a little girl, and you are so vicious."

Mai Sui smiled and said, "Don't be angry, little aunt. If you don't act so weird, everything will be fine."

She also gave Han Jinyu roasted cicadas to eat.

Han Jinyu picked it up with disdain and took out a rough-looking one. "What is this?"

"It was a soybean worm, the green kind, Sanwang got it."

Han Jinyu suddenly felt numb all over and threw it aside in disgust, refusing to eat it.

"When will my third brother come back?" Han Jinyu asked.

"About six o'clock." Lin Lan looked at her. "What for?"

"Nothing, I just miss my third brother." Han Jinyu took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and cracked them. While cracking them, he kept muttering to himself for some reason.

Lin Lan felt that she was a little strange now. She was not as savage and self-righteous as before, but had become a little weird.

Lin Lan ignored her, prepared dinner herself, and let Mai Sui read a book.

Mai Sui: "Mom, let me help you put on your running insoles first."

Nowadays, people wear cloth shoes and like to sew insoles to protect the soles.

Han Qingsong walks a lot, so Lin Lan made a few pairs of quilts for him. She doesn't know how to embroider, so she just does simple quilting. Fortunately, she has a sewing machine, which is convenient.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "That's fine, just be careful with your hands."

Han Jinyu just sat there, crunching melon seeds, without saying a word.

Lin Lan looked at her quietly, and felt that her expression was somewhat gloomy, even a little sad and angry? She didn't know where this feeling came from.

At around five o'clock, Han Qingsong came back from outside and saw Han Jinyu sitting at the table in the main room, cracking melon seed shells all over the floor.

He frowned. He was cracking melon seeds and didn't use anything to catch the skins, so he threw them all over the floor. He picked up a broom and started sweeping.

Lin Lan: "Leave it there, I'll clean it later." She asked Han Qingsong to wash his hands and face, "Someone from the county is coming."

Han Qingsong looked at her, puzzled.

Lin Lan pointed at Han Jinyu and whispered, "The one from the last blind date, Liu Haozhe."

Han Qingsong just said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

He didn't ask Han Jinyu but got angry, "Third brother, why don't you ask and care about me?"

Han Qingsong wiped his face and asked, "Work, age, family background?"

Han Jinyu: "He is an accountant at a textile factory, 27 years old, and his family is a worker."

Han Qingsong nodded, "Not bad."

Han Jinyu felt aggrieved. Why didn't her brother care about her? What did he mean by good? Didn't he ask her what would happen to her household registration if she married Liu Haozhe? What would happen to her job? Would she be able to move to the city in the future?

She started crunching melon seeds again.

After Lin Lan finished cooking, Han Qinghua and Liu Haozhe also brought the children back with a rich harvest.

Liu Haozhe said with a smile: "Dawang is very good at such a young age, but you still win."

They had a competition to catch cicadas, and Dawang won both of them.

Han Qinghua said: "My nephew is amazing."

After entering the house, Han Qinghua introduced Liu Haozhe to Han Qingsong. Han Qingsong shook hands with him and asked him to sit down.

Liu Haozhe said, "It's getting late, so I won't bother my third brother and sister-in-law anymore. I have to go back too."

Lin Lan said politely: "Stay for dinner."

Liu Haozhe smiled at her and said, "Maybe there will be a chance. I won't bother you again today."

Seeing that he insisted, Han Qinghua signaled Han Jinyu to leave. Han Qingsong and Lin Lan saw them to the door and watched them leave.

Lin Lan asked: "Third brother, who introduced this person to me?"

Han Qingsong shook his head: "I don't know either."

When everyone finished their meal, Han Qinghua and Han Jinyu came over again.

Han Jinyu saw that Lin Lan was already clearing the table and said unhappily, "Did you finish eating so soon?"

Han Qinghua smiled and said, "We ate it too."

Han Qingsong said, "If you have something to say, sit down and talk."

Han Jinyu saw some mushrooms stewed with egg sauce on the table and wanted to eat it, but Lin Lan had already taken the chopsticks away, so she put on an unhappy face.

Lin Lan ignored her. Seeing that the siblings were about to talk to Han Qingsong, she thought some of the words were not suitable for children to hear, so she asked Da Wang to lead his younger siblings to find Zhiliaogui.

Da Wang felt relieved to see that his father was at home, so he took the bottle of wine and led his younger brothers and sisters away.

After the children left, Han Qingsong said, "Let's talk about it." He was not a man who liked to chat idly, and judging from the look of things, he must have something to say.

Han Jinyu put on a sullen face, went to the counter, picked up a tomato and started eating it.

Han Qinghua smiled and said, "Brother, this is what happened. An uncle I met on the farm introduced Liu Haozhe to me. He said he was a good guy, so I wanted my sister to meet him. After we met, I found that it was fate. I seemed to have met him before when I was involved in the movement in the county. He was in the Workers' Propaganda Team. But he and Zhao Jianshe were probably not familiar with each other. Now it seems that he is quite satisfied with my sister."

Han Qingsong nodded: "Not bad."

"That's right... Third brother, why would he, a city guy, be willing to find someone from the countryside? I also think it's not... Can you check it out for me?"

Han Jinyu was unhappy to hear him say this, "Jinbao, what do you mean, am I not worthy of him?"

Han Qinghua: "Why are you so excited? I am just speaking the truth. If he was older, uglier, or had a bad family background, I would think it was normal. But he is under 30 and not a second marriage. He has a good job, looks good, and has a good family background. Why does he want to find a girl from the countryside? Even if she is a fairy from the countryside, it won't solve the household registration problem."

If the household registration problem is not solved, Han Jinyu's food quota will not be in the city in the future. Even if the child follows his father, if Han Jinyu's job and household registration are not resolved, there will be problems with food.

Han Qingsong looked at them and asked: "Didn't you think clearly before the blind date?"

Han Qinghua scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I was just thinking that since it was an opportunity, I would try my luck. Who knew that Liu Haozhe was interested in my sister?"

Han Qingsong: "What do you want me to check?"

"That's right, let's check if he has any hidden illnesses?" Han Qinghua laughed. "If he can't have children or has any addictions, we can know so we can be prepared."

Han Qingsong said, "Let's not talk about whether he has this problem or not, let's first talk about how you guys are going to solve the household registration and food and oil issues?"

Han Jinyu finally told the truth, "He said he could transfer my household registration to his suburban commune."

Lin Lan thought this was a good idea. It would be convenient for her to go into the city in the future. It seemed that Liu Haozhe was sincere and really liked Han Jinyu.

Han Qingsong: "We can only check criminal records, not privacy."

At this time, criminal records are mostly about the background. If someone conceals the background, this is the biggest crime, and the others are easy to deal with. And how can Liu Haozhe know whether he can get pregnant? He has never been married. However, gambling or something like that can be checked in advance. It is best not to have bad habits.

Han Qinghua said that he would check it out, and if there was no problem, they could get married with peace of mind.

Lin Lan saw that Han Jinyu was not so happy, and seemed to be dissatisfied. She thought that she was so young and yet she was in a hurry to get married. She would not even take a closer look if she was dissatisfied. Naturally, she was too lazy to care.

Han Qingsong agreed.

Naturally, he would not go and ask Liu Haozhe himself, but asked Liu Jianyun for help. Liu Jianyun acted quickly and sent a letter to Han Qingsong a few days later.

He investigated Liu Haozhe. He was also a naughty boy when he was young. When he was 14, he was imprisoned for two months for being a hooligan. After he was released, he changed his ways. He studied hard and finished high school without committing any more crimes. Now he works as an accountant in a textile factory. His work is also remarkable. He has won several advanced personal titles. In the past two years, he was still a backbone member of the Workers' Propaganda Team.

As for why he is still unmarried at such an old age, it is because cities are beginning to advocate late marriage. In addition, he had been on blind dates several times before, but either the other party didn't like him or he didn't like the other party, and this has dragged it on until now.

Liu Jianyun was reliable and had a comprehensive knowledge of the situation. He focused on the incident when Liu Haozhe was a hooligan at the age of 14. However, the files were a bit messy at that time and were not well kept, so a lot of information was lost.

He checked several places including the school, the commune, the village, and the public security bureau, and pieced it together. Some recorded that he molested a neighbor girl, some said he wanted to rape his neighbor's sister-in-law, and some recorded both and crossed out one, so the information was a bit confusing. Anyway, he was plotting against someone in the neighborhood, and then he was arrested and locked up for two months. After he was released, his family used their connections to send him to the county town to study, and he has been in the county ever since, and there is no bad record against him anymore.

Liu Jianyun did not make any final comments on this person's character, but simply told Han Qingsong what he had found out.

Since it was not part of his work, Han Qingsong took it home and watched it with Lin Lan.

Lin Lan studied the words carefully, using her keen sense of writing in her previous life, and felt that there was no problem. In her previous life, she worked in a cultural company, and was also a reporter and editor-in-chief. She had always been dealing with words and was very sensitive to information processing.

"Is this the younger sister or the sister-in-law? Or both?"

Han Qingsong took a look and said, "It was a time of great progress. The people's commune replaced the government. A lot of information was not formal, so I guess I mixed it up." This was not a problem. After all, it was only a dozen years ago. I could find out by asking around in Liu Haozhe's hometown. But it was not a good idea to ask around. I had to find a local who knew their family affairs to ask.

This was not a problem for Han Qingsong. He asked Luo Haicheng to do it. He frequently visited various communes and knew many people there. He could ask the local militia captains and company commanders and would be able to get the information back quickly.

A few days later, Luo Haicheng reported to Han Qingsong.

Because of Han Jinyu's matter, Luo Haicheng still felt a little sorry for Han Qingsong, but Han Qingsong didn't take it to heart, so he didn't take it seriously either.

If Han Jinyu's character wasn't so crooked, he felt that for Han Qingsong, he could accept a bad appearance.

"Director Han, according to an insider nearby, Liu Haozhe was seduced by his neighbor's sister-in-law. When the relationship failed, the sister-in-law falsely accused him of trying to rape her daughter, and he was arrested, beaten, and locked up for two months."

Of course, no one else knew the details, but later the sister-in-law accidentally let it slip, and someone heard it. Plus, when the little girl grew up and became more sensible, someone asked her whether Liu Haozhe had done anything to her. She was older and had her own opinion, so she said no, but later, perhaps after being told off by her mother, she said yes. Everyone tended to believe that it was not the case.

Han Qingsong: "Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Haicheng smiled and said, "It's not hard. It's what I should do." He knew that he was asking for Han Jinyu. After all, he and Han Jinyu had some conflicts before. This could be considered as making up for their mistakes, reconciling, and not owing each other anything.

"But Liu Haozhe suffered a lot during the two months he was imprisoned. It is said that he became a different person after he was released. He was a very naughty boy when he was young, but he became obedient after he was released."

But everyone thinks that being naughty and mischievous when they were young and becoming stable and mature when they grow up is nothing special. These people, especially boys, were rarely well-behaved and obedient when they were young. Most of them were extremely naughty. When they grow up, don’t they still get married, have children, work and make a living in an orderly manner?

Han Qingsong also asked Luo Haicheng to find out the name, background, reason for labor reform, etc. of the uncle who had a good relationship with Han Qinghua at Shanshui Farm. Luo Haicheng said he would report back in a few days.

Han Qingsong showed Lin Lan the news, but Lin Lan had a different view from them, "Third brother, do you think Liu Haozhe was tortured during the two months he was imprisoned? Is there any shadow behind him?"

If there is a psychological shadow, it may leave character flaws.

She said this was very advanced for people today, and Han Qingsong couldn't fully understand it. Lin Lan explained to him, for example, when Sanwang got cramps in the water, if it wasn't handled properly, it could have left a shadow, and he would not dare to go into the water in the future, or not want to interact with people, or his personality would change drastically, etc.

Han Qingsong thought about himself and the people he knew. Although they were all treated unfairly when they were young, it didn't seem to matter. After all, everyone was like this.

Overall, there is no problem.

Lin Lan naturally didn't want to ruin Han Jinyu's good fortune, so she smiled and said, "It's OK as long as there is no conflict between us and the enemy. The rest can be solved by themselves."

Han Qingsong went to find Han Qinghua and Han Jinyu and told them about Liu Haozhe's situation.

Han Qinghua was surprised and said, "Third brother, you are so amazing. You have found out everything. Haha, sister, you don't have to worry. You can marry him without worry."

Han Jinyu was not very happy, and kept harping on the fact that Liu Haozhe was 14 years old, wanting to know whether she was his sister-in-law or a little girl.

Han Qingsong: "It's all above, you can see for yourself. If you really can't stand it, just ask him. If he really wants to marry you, he will be happy to be honest with you."

Han Qinghua: "Sister, Third Brother has checked everything and there is nothing wrong with it. I think Liu Haozhe looks good. You go to the commune first, and it will be convenient to go to the county later."

In comparison, this is the best choice, better than Luo Haicheng.

Han Jinyu thinks it's OK as long as she is better than Luo Haicheng! Otherwise, she will lose face.

But she was a little dissatisfied, because when Liu Haozhe saw her, his eyes did not light up like Luo Haicheng's did. Liu Haozhe did not seem to like her that much, he was not enthusiastic about her, let alone obsessed with her. She felt that this was a kind of contempt for her appearance, which made her feel uncomfortable.

In her impression, a romantic partner should be polite, gentle and affectionate, and should look at her infatuatedly.

At least it should be like how Third Brother treats Lin Lan!

It can’t be any worse!

But Liu Haozhe didn't have any extreme infatuation with her at all. Anyway, she didn't see it. It seemed like he was just looking for a wife at his age.

Of course she wouldn't show it, for fear of being laughed at by Lin Lan.

In fact, Lin Lan would not sneer at her, she just wanted her to get married as soon as possible. Seeing that Han Jinyu was satisfied with Liu Haozhe, and Liu Haozhe was also very interested in Han Jinyu, Lin Lan felt that she would definitely get married.

After you get married, don't make a fuss at home. Old Mrs. Han doesn't have anyone to give you advice, so you can keep quiet. Then maybe Brother Han can go home and live with Sister-in-law Han.

It's the flood season recently, and there have been several heavy rains in a row. The roads are muddy and the river water is surging. The chickens at home have been hiding in the chicken coop, but the ducks can play in the pen, blocking a lot of water and splashing around happily.

During the rainy season, the school was closed, the employees were off work, and Lin Lan also told the children not to go into the water. So the children were obsessed with finding cicada turtles. After the rain, the soil was soft and even filled with water, so the cicada turtles would crawl out by themselves, making them perfect for picking.

Lin Lan took advantage of the rain and couldn't go to work to organize Dong Huaihua, Liu Chuncai and others to spread the message to the members. Now they are mainly educating adults and letting them pay attention to their personal qualities. The core content is to be civilized and have good qualities, not to urinate or defecate anywhere, especially not in front of the opposite sex.

Naturally, they would not preach to people in a dry way, telling them not to do this or that. Instead, they would make up stories and skits and let Liu Chuncai and others perform.

Liu Chuncai is now very good at talking. "When I was a kid, my dad told me a lie. He had a brother named Zhang San. Zhang San was not particular. He would go wherever there were young girls and wives. He especially liked to tell girls about his belongings. One evening, it had just rained. He met a girl on the roadside and he pranked her by showing her his treasure. The girl was not afraid and asked, "Show me your treasure?" He took out his thing and shook it at the girl, saying, "Girl, does it look good?" The girl spat at him, giggled, and said, "Although it's a bit ugly, I just happened to have my tail cut off, so please lend it to me."

It was a simple story, but Liu Chuncai told it vividly and emotionally, especially when he was imitating the little girl, waving her orchid fingers, flashing charming eyes, and giggling, which frightened all the old men in the room and gave them goosebumps.

"Liu Chuncai, tell me quickly, what happened next?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Chuncai laughed and said, "What can I do? I have nothing left to urinate. I have to squat like an old woman to pee, hahaha. Who of you wants to learn from Zhang San? Be careful not to meet that little girl~~"

As he said this, he gave Lin Lan a wink.

Lin Lan: “…………” Don’t get too involved in the role, you’re not a gecko spirit!

After the meeting, she said goodbye to Dong Huaihua and went home. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she heard no movement. When she entered the yard, she found that several children were gathered around the doghouse.

Lin Lan asked: "What are you doing?"

Wangwang got pregnant two months ago, and she is expected to give birth in the next few days. Lin Lan doesn't want her to be pregnant, as she feels she is not grown up enough. However, dogs in the countryside are kept free, and if she runs out to be mated during her estrus period, there is nothing she can do, so she can only let nature take its course.

She thought they were watching the bitch giving birth, so she quickly asked them to go away, as it was not good for them to see such a thing. She walked over and found Wangwang lying in the doghouse, lying there quietly, looking listless.

She breathed a sigh of relief that she had not given birth, and quickly told the children to leave.

As a result, the next day, before dawn, Da Wang went to the toilet. When he came out, he heard some movement in the doghouse. He looked in and shouted, "Puppy!!"

I guess they were born last night in the middle of the night. All five puppies were sleeping under the mother dog's body. They were so furry and cute.

Da Wang was stunned.

Sanwang was the first to put on his clothes and rushed out, holding on to his socks but unable to put them on, "Let me see, let me see!"

Soon the whole family got up, and even Han Qingsong was pulled out by Lin Lan to watch the fun.

Xiaowang and Wangwang have the best relationship. Last year, they were inseparable. When Wangwang grew up, he became a good friend of his third brother.
