Lin Lan brought Haonan and Xiaowang home. It was not yet noon, so it was a good time to cook.
In the broad daylight, children have friends to play with and never miss home. Haonan and Xiaowang held hands and took a small basket to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and catch insects and grasshoppers.
Lin Lan caught a few large grasshoppers and wrapped them in foxtail grass for them to play with.
When we got home from picking vegetables, the children had already finished school. When they saw Haonan here, they looked at him in surprise.
"Haonan, you come here to live alone? Don't you miss home?" Sanwang asked him.
Good man: “No~raising.”
Now there are more brothers and sisters, more fun things to do, and good boys miss home even less.
Sanwang also took a broken car, frogs and quilted toys for Haonan to play with, and said that he would take him to find cicadas and turtles, catch cicadas, catch snakes and swim. After hearing this, Haonan wished he would never go home again.
While Lin Lan was leading Mai Sui and Er Wang to cook, she also asked Da Wang to lead his younger brothers to play outside for a while, playing on the swings, playing with slingshots, and doing whatever they wanted.
Anyway, a farm boy can spend a long time skipping stones on the river bank.
What's more, there were five puppies at home. They were so tired after playing with them that Xiaobai came back staggeringly tired. He fell asleep under the gate before entering the yard.
Wangwang took it back to the nest with his mouth and went to sleep.
When eating, each person had a pair of chopsticks, and Xiaowang gave the chopsticks to Haonan.
Haonan looked at it in embarrassment.
Lin Lan: "Eat by yourself. There's no one to feed you in our house. Look at all the people here."
Haonan saw that his brothers and sisters were eating by themselves, even his younger brother Xiaowang. He had never picked up chopsticks at home and was always fed by his grandma and sister.
He grabbed the chopsticks and held them directly, but he didn't know how to pick up things like others.
Lin Lan: "Little Third Brother, teach your younger brother."
Sanwang and Xiaowang worked together to teach the boy step by step.
As a result, the good man could only hold it tightly and finally cried, "Chopsticks are so difficult, a good man can't do it... wuwu..."
He cried a few times, and wanted to throw his chopsticks down like he did at home, and then kick his legs and cry. But he met Dawang's dark eyes, and Haonan was so scared that he hiccuped.
Everyone at the table laughed.
Hearing everyone laughing, but no one came to comfort him, let alone scold him, Haonan felt strange. When he was at home, if he couldn't learn something, he would fall down and cry when he was unhappy. His mother would scold him, and his grandmother would comfort him like a sweetheart.
But now it’s different!
He looked at the people at the table and found that none of them were like grandma and mom. Most of them were smiling. Only Da Guo had a dark face. When he glared, he looked cold. It was so scary, wuwu~~
Haonan was so frightened that he dared not cry anymore and started to eat again with a wronged look on his face.
Xiao Wang considerately picked up some food for him and put it in the bowl, "Put it in your mouth."
The children have nap time after dinner. Now, except for Da Wang who goes to read and study, no one else is sleeping. Everyone is helping the boy to use chopsticks.
Lin Lan also took out the roasted cicadas and put them on the table. "Pick them up with chopsticks and eat them. If you can't pick them up, don't eat them. They are so delicious."
Training for noon.
When the children went to school, Haonan could only pinch it with difficulty, but he couldn't put it into his mouth. But after all, he was making progress.
Lin Lan took the lead in praising him, "What a great man!"
Xiaowang also played the harmonica for him to encourage him, and the little puppies watched and hummed on the side.
After a while, she was so tired from practicing holding the chopsticks for Haonan that she started to cry. Finally, she got angry and threw the chopsticks while Dawang was not at home. She angrily picked up cicadas with her little hands and stuffed them into her mouth.
She was stuffing her food in while crying and kicking her legs while mumbling, "Wuwu... I won't pick it up anymore, the chopsticks are broken, broken..."
Xiaowang: “…………”
He was a little at a loss, and really didn't know how to comfort his brother who cried even more than he did.
Lin Lan glanced at him and ignored him, letting him cry for a while. Anyway, his grandma was not around and no one would feel sorry for him.
Haonan stuffed his mouth with cicadas and couldn't chew them at all. The key point was that no one scolded him or coaxed him. Only Xiaowang stared at him curiously with a pair of big eyes with clear black and white.
Good man: “…”
Xiao Wang: "Why aren't you crying?"
Good man: “…wuwu…”
Xiao Wang: "The voice has become quieter."
Good man: “…”
Crying is really meaningless. Good man, wipe your tears and stop crying.
Seeing that he had stopped crying, Lin Lan smiled and said, "If you continue like this, Fourth Aunt won't cook anything for you in the future. Brother Dawang led us to find the cicadas." There was a threat in the ending tone of "oh".
Haonan saw Lin Lan's serious face and was a little scared when he heard that Dawangguo had the final say, especially when Xiaowang nodded to him to show that his mother was serious. He had no choice but to put down all the cicadas, and put the ones that were too stuffed in his mouth into the big bowl, and then resigned himself to practicing using chopsticks to pick them up.
In the meantime, Lin Lan asked him and Xiaowang to play with the puppies for a while, take a nap, eat some snacks, and then get up in the afternoon to continue training.
When it was almost time for dinner, Haonan suddenly learned how to use chopsticks and picked up the cicadas in one go. He was so excited that he kept shouting, "Xiaomang Xiaomang, Sini Sini, look!"
When he put it in his mouth, it fell out. He immediately picked it up again and showed off to Lin Lan and Xiao Wang.
Lin Lan clapped her hands immediately, "Wow, what a great guy!"
Xiao Wang also clapped his hands: "Brother is amazing, amazing, he can use chopsticks now!"
Haonan was very happy to be encouraged. Once he learned how to do it, he made rapid progress and insisted on starting to pick up other things. Lin Lan put a handful of peanuts in the bowl and asked him and Xiaowang to pick them up and eat them.
Good Man: "Hahaha! Si Ni, I can do it!"
Lin Lan patted his head. How could a child be incapable? A child knows nothing. It is up to the adults to teach him how to grow up. The earlier the shortcomings are found, the earlier they should be corrected. However, the good boy's grandmother not only did not help him correct his shortcomings, but also spoiled him to create new ones. This is a big problem.
"Look, if you practice more, you will be able to do it, no matter what it is. Getting dressed, wiping your butt, washing your feet, eating, practice more and you will be able to do it all." Lin Lan encouraged him, "Don't worry if you don't do it well the first time, try again, and you will be able to do it after a few more times."
Haonan nodded happily, "Yeah."
Lin Lan gave him a broom and asked him and Xiaowang to sweep the yard. She also asked Xiaowang to teach him the correct pronunciation.
All the names like Sini, Xiaomang and Daguo need to be modified.
In the evening, when the children get home from school, Haonan is even happier. He feels so happy to be with his brothers and sisters.
He envied Xiaowang: "Xiaomang, you are doing well."
Xiaowang: "Sister Qiaoqiao is also good."
"I don't have a pot." The good man was disappointed.
Xiaowang failed to change Haonan, but let Haonan go astray. "My pot is your pot."
Haonan is happy again.
Han Qingsong came back from outside in the evening.
When the children saw it, they asked loudly if their father had come back.
Good Man: "Okay! I'm back!"
Xiao Wang: "Dad~"
Good man: "German~~"
Xiaowang: “Dede~~” Oh... He was stunned for a moment and looked at Haonan blankly. How did he say it?
Mai Sui and the others have been laughing like crazy. Oh, if Hao Nan stays for a few more days, Xiao Wang will become a liar.
At dinner time, Haonan said: "Big Pot, I'm going to catch turtles too."
Xiao Wang: "The big pot can also catch snakes."
Da Wang Hotpot: …………
When it was time to eat, Haonan knew how to use chopsticks. He picked up a piece of salted vegetable with the chopsticks and shook it proudly on the table, which naturally meant to surprise everyone.
Lin Lan led the applause, "What a great guy!"
Except for Han Qingsong and Dawang, everyone else also praised him vigorously, making the little boy blush.
He picked up the pickled vegetables and gave them to Xiaowang: "Xiaomang, here you go." Then he picked up some for Lin Lan, and then picked up some vegetables for everyone one by one. He showed off his skill in using chopsticks and received countless compliments, feeling very satisfied.
Finally, I was happy and started eating with everyone.
Xiao Wang: "Isn't it more delicious to eat with chopsticks?"
The good man nodded: "Yes!"
After dinner, Sanwang prepared to go look for Zhiliaogui, but Daguowang said, “No, I’m going to read.” Then he went into the house, lit a light and went to read.
Erwang: "Daguo and brother are studying, let's go." He called Mai Sui and took his brothers out together.
After they left, Lin Lan quietly looked at Da Wang from the window and found that he was studying!!!
Not pretending.
Oh, this child really does what he says, it's amazing. She is also thinking of ways to help Dawang so that she can give him a surprise attack during the autumn vacation.
She did not disturb the child from studying, but took out the cloth and sent it over with Han Qingsong.
The price of this kind of cloth was transparent, and Mrs. Han had also inquired about it. Seeing that Lin Lan bought it fifty cents cheaper than what she inquired about, although she felt that Third Sister Lin Lan did not give her a bigger discount, she could not say anything.
After buying the cloth, Lin Lan didn't care. Anyway, she was not good at sewing and couldn't help her sew the quilt. Old Mrs. Han asked Han's sister-in-law to sew it because Han's sister-in-law was good at sewing and wanted Lin Lan to speak to her.
Lin Lan laughed and didn't respond at all.
Old Mrs. Han asked Brother Han to talk to her, and Brother Han agreed.
Han Qinghua smiled and said, "Mom, you see, Third Sister-in-law is still efficient. Most people can't be so good."
Old Mrs. Han curled her lips, unhappy that her youngest son was praising Lin Lan all day long.
…
After returning home and waiting for the children to come back with the cicada turtle, Haonan was still not satisfied and insisted that he would go again tomorrow to get another one.
Lin Lan asked them to wash up and go to bed early.
Sanwang took the initiative to fetch water for Haonan and Xiaowang to wash their feet in a basin. He also brought foot cloths for them to wipe their feet dry, and then carried them to the kang one by one.
After getting on the kang, everyone was laughing and nothing happened. But when Haonan felt sleepy and wanted someone to hold him to sleep, he looked around and saw that his grandma and mother were not around. He started to cry.
Da Wang glared at him and said, "Don't cry."
The good boy was so frightened that his mouth clenched and he actually held back his tears.
Sanwang laughed, "Daguo, don't scare Haonan. Come, Haonan, share a quilt with Sanguo. Sanguo will treat you well." Hehe, we will treat you with Shadowless Kick and Military Boxing tonight!
Da Wang kicked San Wang back to his own place to sleep, and let Hao Nan stay next to Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang stay next to him, and Er Wang hold the other end.
Erwang said to Haonan, "Come, it will be the same if Second Brother holds you."
Haonan crawled over and looked at Xiaowang next to him.
Xiaowang took the initiative to pull his hand, "...Hoo-hoo-hoo, go to sleep."
Haonan was relieved and slept soundly without his grandma and mother.
In the middle of the night, Erwang was suddenly awakened by a "bang". Haonan kicked him on the nose, which made him look confused and his nose was almost crooked.
He fumbled to turn on the flashlight and placed it on the kang cabinet.
He finally knew how it felt to have a brother who didn't sleep well. No wonder the elder brother always kept Sanwang at the other end. When Sanwang didn't behave, he would kick him back. He thought the elder brother was a bit too violent. From this point of view, the kick was quite necessary! If Sanwang slept in the middle, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep on the kang.
Not only was Erwang kicked awake, but Xiaowang was also punched several times.
Xiaowang sleeps as quietly and honestly as a kitten. He doesn't wake up even when people hit him, but just hides subconsciously, and finally hides in Dawang's arms.
Da Wang usually sleeps with his back to San Wang or lying on his back with his right leg bent and his right arm across. When San Wang approaches him in the middle of the night, he kicks back as a conditioned reflex without even waking up. San Wang launches several rounds of attacks throughout the night, and he is like a wave drum, attacking and being counterattacked back and forth between the wall and Da Wang.
When Xiaowang pushed over, Dawang was also unconscious. He subconsciously opened his left arm to protect Xiaowang in his arms, but he did not remove the defense on the right side, ready to kick back Sanwang who rushed over.
Erwang saw that his elder brother had to protect Xiaowang, and also had to watch out for Sanwang's gecko that would leave the wall and jump up. Even sleeping was filled with a brutal struggle!
Erwang had no choice but to get down, move the kang cabinet a little closer, and then carry Haonan over.
The good man was still talking in his sleep: "Pot pot pot, snake snake snake, turtle turtle turtle..."
Sanwang’s dream also reached the climax stage of the feast, with all kinds of food, such as pig’s trotters, chicken legs, and snake meat. He kept clicking his tongue and shouting, “Eat, eat, eat!”
That night... Erwang was about to cry.
Mai Sui was also woken up. She got up and looked around, "Brother, come here and sleep." Anyway, the northern kang was big enough, and with a kang cabinet to separate them, each person could sleep on one end.
Erwang: "You go to sleep, I'll move Haonan away."
He wiped the sweat off his face and got back on the kang.
Da Wang woke up and said, "Let San Wang sleep with him tomorrow night."
Erwang: You are so cruel.
However, the next day, Haonan and Sanwang were not allowed to sleep together. This was also for the sake of everyone's sound sleep. Instead, Haonan was carried to the other side as soon as he fell asleep.
Haonan was still unhappy when he woke up, "Why did you leave me here to sleep alone? I want to sleep with my brother Guoguo."
Erwang lied to him: "We didn't put it there. You crawled over there on your own and said you slept well there."
The good boy took it seriously and even climbed over to sleep at night, which made everyone laugh.
Lin Lan believes that there are no naughty children who cannot be reformed, only naughty parents who cannot recognize the reality. So, the good man started to change as soon as he arrived.
…
Han Jinyu has been borrowing bicycles to travel around the county quite frequently recently. She is full of anticipation every time she goes. When she comes back to return the bicycle, her face is rosy and she looks really happy.
If Lin Lan saw this, she would probably wish she didn't come back at night.
Lin Lan said to her, "You're running around all the time. When are you going to get engaged?" Don't get married with a big belly. People will gossip about you.
Han Jinyu was not angry at all. She stayed at Lin Lan's house and chatted with her while Lin Lan was preparing dinner. "Hey, sister-in-law, why is Liu Haozhe so funny? He is really good at telling jokes. Haha, he made me laugh to death."
Lin Lan glanced at her. Did love make you so good-tempered? You are joking with me. Are you suffering from amnesia? We always quarrel when we meet.
Han Jinyu didn't care about Lin Lan's indifference and started talking about Liu Haozhe's good qualities.
"I found him to be very ordinary when I first met him. He wasn't handsome, and he wasn't sweet-talking. But after getting to know him more, I found that he was... Tsk tsk, quite interesting. He spoke interestingly, and he was quite handsome and cool. Hey, Lin Lan, you don't know, he..."
Han Jinyu looked up at Lin Lan when she was talking excitedly, but met Lin Lan's mocking eyes. She felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her. Only then did she realize that she had actually said this to Lin Lan.
How shameful!
But no one really talks about her!
If I tell the old lady, she is too old to understand. If I tell Han Jinbao that he is a man, it will not be convenient either.
So, she just kept talking to Lin Lan.
Lin Lan asked, "Have I explained to you clearly what happened when he was 14?"
Lin Lan felt that if it were herself, unless she had known Liu Haozhe since childhood, she would not agree to it, after all, there was a stain on her.
Although Han Qingsong said that he had found out that Liu Haozhe was wrongly accused and it was not a big problem, Lin Lan could sense that he was not interested in Liu Haozhe. Anyway, if it was his daughter, he would definitely not agree, but Han Jinyu would not listen to Han Qingsong, and the whole family had already decided on Liu Haozhe, so it would be useless for him to say anything, so he did not say anything.
Han Qingsong never says useless things.
Han Jinyu pouted and said in a sullen tone, "What are you doing? It's so rude to investigate others without permission!"
Lin Lan: “…” If you were not Han Qingsong’s biological sister, you could marry whoever you want and no one would care about you.
Han Jinyu said: "Of course, ask clearly. It was someone who framed him, and he was so generous. Later, when the mother and daughter were in trouble, he was generous enough to help them. I have never seen such a cool, tolerant, and generous man like Liu Haozhe. He is really perfect!"
Lin Lan: "..." The brainless girl in love is talking about you! Isn't it sour? And you are also very perfect!
"He also helped that mother and daughter?!" She quickly grasped the question.
Han Jinyu: "It's nothing. It's just that his neighbor's sister-in-law died two years ago and remarried with her daughter. Within a year, the man fell to death while repairing the canal. No one dared to marry her in the future. Her life was difficult. He met her accidentally a few years ago and helped her with a few yuan and a few kilograms of food. It was nothing."
Lin Lan: “Really nothing?!!!” Either he is the Holy Father or he has ulterior motives. Besides, how could Han Jinyu, such a selfish and argumentative person, suddenly become so generous and indifferent?
Han Jinyu stood up angrily: "Why are you always so aggressive? How did Liu Haozhe offend you?"
After Lin Lan finished lighting the fire, she took a broom and swept the floor. "Go away, you're annoying." She was too lazy to pay attention to you.
Who would have known that she was still praising Liu Haozhe for his perfection today, but a few days later, Han Jinyu came back from the county and suddenly got angry and said that the relationship between the two was over and she would not marry him!
