Caihua was stunned and felt a surge of anger in her heart. She didn't expect Yanyan's temperament to change so drastically in one day.

She immediately adjusted her mood and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I know you are kind-hearted and think everyone is good. Let's go. I still have to make up for your lessons. You've missed a lot of classes in the past few days."

During the make-up class, Yanyan said: "...But Cauliflower, did you write these words wrong?"

cauliflower:"!!"

"You see, you are definitely wrong."

"I was worried about you. I didn't hear what the teacher said. But I know it all. I just made a mistake when writing it."

"We should study hard. We should learn from Mai Sui and Er Wang."

"Haha, you mean to learn from Da Wang, right? That boy is so amazing, he was promoted to the fourth grade as soon as he said he would, and he even supported you today. Don't you admire him?"

"Yes, Da Wang is awesome! But he didn't support me, he supported Teacher Lin. I also want to grow up quickly, study hard, and support my mother!" Yanyan looked determined.

cauliflower:"……"

Because of helping Wu Caixian and her daughter, Lin Lan also made a strong presence in Shanzui Village. Some people praised her, while others scolded her, thinking she was meddling in other people's business.

Those who originally disliked her began to exaggerate her story.

There are even some unsophisticated people who think that Lin Lan's children are as easy to please as other people's children, and always want to get the pleasure of slandering adults by saying something to the children.

The key is that Lin Lan's children are all very smart. They are different from other stupid children! Other children can tell everything about their parents' affairs with just a piece of candy, but these children are very strict.

Not to mention that no one dared to ask Da Wang because he had a gloomy face, Mai Sui and Er Wang were smart and didn't give anyone the chance to ask. As for San Wang, that black monkey, some people thought he was a big mouth and wanted to trick him into saying something.

In the end, Sanwang talked around and around, only talking about the superficial aspects of his own affairs, such as his father sewing quilts, their dinner with meat, and his mother making sweet soup, but he ended up involving other people's affairs. Especially when the other children were playing together, they would naturally tell everything if Sanwang coaxed them.

That person ate a rotten egg for a week!

If someone doesn't take a bath for a whole winter, his socks will become as hard as iron and can stand up. But if you accidentally bend them, they will break!

Whose father-in-law was peeping at his daughter-in-law going to the toilet?

No one knows more gossip than him. He knows what Liu Chuncai knows, and he also knows what Liu Chuncai doesn't know.

Moreover, because the children do not understand the adulterous affairs of adults, they do not think it is funny for the father-in-law to peek at his daughter-in-law going to the toilet or taking a bath. After all, what is so interesting about other people taking a bath? They bathe in the river naked every day, so they don’t care about watching others bathe!

He didn't take it seriously at all.

However, He Laosan, who was peeping at his daughter-in-law going to the toilet and taking a bath, also bumped into Sanwang's gun. He held a piece of black candy and coaxed Sanwang, "Sanwang, I'll give you some candy."

Sanwang was not interested, "I still have to go feed the rats."

"Eat some, and I'll chat with you. How do you guys sleep at night?"

Sanwang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Sleep on the kang. How do you sleep? Stand up?"

He Laosan bared his black and yellow teeth and laughed, "Does your father oppress your mother or does your mother oppress your father?"

Sanwang was surprised and said, "Oh, you guys are still sleeping in a stacked state? That's amazing. How did you do it?"

He Laosan gestured with his hands, stacking them this way and that way, and he also used his fingers to imitate obscene movements, "Look, it's still like this?"

Although Sanwang was naughty, he was not precocious in this regard. He just thought it was very interesting and suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. You were peeping at your daughter-in-law going to the toilet, and you wanted to do this?" He also gestured with his little hands.

He Laosan's face suddenly turned purple, and the man who was joining in the fun laughed out loud, "He Laosan, you are such a coward. If your son knew about this, he would definitely kill you."

"Tsk tsk, this old man who has been widowed for many years is much more coquettish than the old woman who has been widowed for many years, haha."

The crowd laughed.

He Laosan was so ashamed that he covered his face and ran away.

Sanwang was still wondering, "Why did he run away? Wasn't it about the matter of the stacked Luohan?"

Some people wanted to continue teasing him, "Sanwang, your mother..."

Sanwang got angry when he heard them talking about his mother all the time. "Why are you thinking about my mother? I'm going to tell my dad to beat you up!"

The man felt embarrassed and walked away in shame.

Sanwang: "Don't run away. I haven't finished talking about the stacked Luohan yet."

Others didn't dare to say anything and left in a hurry. Although they always fantasized about this girl or that daughter-in-law in the village in private, they couldn't afford to offend Lin Lan. Not to mention that her man was powerful, she herself was tough enough, and she also had a son who turned against his relatives.

Can't afford to offend.

Sanwang was still a little puzzled, and turned back to quietly ask his elder brother about the matter of Di Luohan.

"Brother, how does the He Luohan sleep?"

Da Wang glanced at him and said, "You are like a jumping bean at night. You will bounce on me one moment. Isn't that just sleeping in a pile?"

Sanwang nodded, it’s true.

Xiao Wang heard this and asked curiously, "Little San brother, why are you acting like a bean-juggler? Are you dancing in your sleep?"

Sanwang: "Yes, I always eat big meals! They are delicious, pig's trotters, braised pork, big fish, snake meat..."

Xiao Wang's mouth was watering. "Little Third Brother, can you take me out to eat in the future?"

Sanwang smiled sweetly and patted Xiaowang's head, "Of course you can, I'll take you to dinner tonight, but you have to pay for the meal."

Xiao Wang: "Pay your share of the money?"

"Yeah, if you follow me to have a nice meal, you have to pay, right?"

Xiaowang searched his pockets and said, "I have two cents." On August 15th, Lin Lan gave ten cents to each of the three older children. Sanwang got five cents and Xiaowang got two cents.

Sanwang took it and said, "Okay, I'll take you to eat tonight."

Xiao Wang was looking forward to it very much. After a while, he said, "Little Third Brother, please bring your parents, brothers and sisters with you."

Sanwang said mysteriously, "No, I can't carry one that's bigger than me. I can only carry one at a time."

Xiaowang had no choice but to give up after hearing that. He thought he could just eat more and come back to talk to his mother about it.

As a result, Xiaowang was so nervous that he couldn't sleep at night. Finally, he fell asleep and dreamed that he and Sanwang were gnawing on pig's trotters, and their little mouths were greasy.

When he woke up the next day, Sanwang planned that Xiaowang would come to ask him why he didn't take him to a big meal. He had already decided to lie to him and tell him that he had taken him to dinner in his dream last night, but he couldn't remember and that meant he forgot.

As a result, Xiao Wang said with a satisfied look on his face: "Xiao San brother, thank you for taking me to eat big pig's trotters. The big pig's trotters are roasted, sizzling with oil, with fat and lean meat, and the pig skin is so delicious."

Sanwang: “…………” Saliva!! Brother Xiaowang, please take me to eat!

From then on, the two brothers started to have a wonderful time of taking each other out for meals, and in the end, the few cents of the three Wangs were all earned by Xiao Wang.

Because Sanwang's big meals are only delicious! Delicious! Big pig's trotters, braised pork, delicious!

But Xiaowang's was, wow, big fish, fried yellow fish skin, white fish soup, so fragrant and sweet, fish eyes were so delicious, fish gills had a piece of tender meat, so tender and delicious! Fried hairtail was crispy, fragrant and delicious! The braised pork had glutinous fat, tender lean meat, and chewy skin!

Therefore, Lin Lan's family had an additional fun activity every morning, which was to ask the two brothers what dinner they were having in the evening. If they mentioned dishes that they had never eaten at home, Erwang would take notes and supplement his own recipes.

…

It rained for several days in a row, and the members crowded into the brigade headquarters and under the eaves to watch the performance.

Lin Lan arranged time to rest for two days as well. She had to sew some cotton-padded clothes. She would have to wear them when the weather got cold after October, and she hadn't finished sewing yet.

Han Qingsong has not been working these two days and is helping her at home.

Han Qingsong did not need help with the quilt this year because several other women, including Han Dasao and Xiuyun, came to help and sewed it quickly and well, leaving no room for Director Han to show his skills.

But there were seven people in the family wearing cotton-padded clothes. Even if she and Han Qingsong didn't take apart theirs, the children's clothes had to be taken apart, washed and re-sewn.

Lin Lan was in charge of sewing the edges with the sewing machine, and asked Han Qingsong to quilt. When she was done, she went to the kang to sew Xiaowang's quilt. Thinking of the scene of sewing quilts last year, Lin Lan looked at Han Qingsong quietly. No wonder people say that a lover's eyes see beauty.

The more you look at this guy, the more handsome he becomes!

Han Qingsong couldn't stand her stealing glances at him, so when she looked at him with a smile again, Han Qingsong stuck the needle into the sewing tassel and grabbed her over.

Lin Lan exclaimed: "Be careful!"

"No." He held her horizontally on his lap and looked down at her. "Come, look openly."

Lin Lan: “…” Your eyes are as deep as a well, who dares to look at them?

Han Qingsong lifted her up and kissed her until she was dizzy, and then he began to unbutton her clothes.

Lin Lan: "Hey, in broad daylight!"

Han Qingsong: "It's cloudy and rainy, no one is around."

"..." Lin Lan deliberately turned her face aside and glared at him, even though she had just gotten up late today. Her eyes teased him like a hook.

He was just teasing her, but he couldn't stand it when she looked at him like that.

The two were lying on the bed when they heard the laughter of children outside. They were not going to school today.

Lin Lan immediately pulled herself out of his arms, straightened her clothes and hair, and hurriedly pretended to sew her quilted jacket.

Sanwang rushed in first, holding Xiaowang's hand, "Mom, we stuffed four big rats today, they smell so good, you really don't want to eat them?"

Lin Lan shook her head: "..." I refused to talk about this topic. She hated soft animals and long, thin things.

Children are fearless. They are not afraid of snakes, let alone voles. In autumn, voles grow very fat in the ground. Children go to drain the voles' nests whenever they have time. After draining the voles, they carry them to a sheltered place and roast them. Although mice look disgusting, the meat is still good and is a rare meat feast for children.

Naturally, Sanwang and his friends couldn't help but join in the fun and catch voles, and they caught the most.

When they brought the food back, they put it in the stove to roast when they cooked. Lin Lan didn't want to eat it herself but she didn't restrict them. Anyway, the field mice were eating food at this time and it wasn't dirty. It smelled very fragrant after being roasted.

Xiaowang: "Mom, when are we going to cook?" When we cook, we can roast the field mouse.

Lin Lan: “…” Brother Xiaowang, you have learned bad things.

It rained last night and the wind was howling outside. Lin Lan wrapped herself up in clothes and looked at her watch. It was already past eleven o'clock. She smiled and said, "Start the fire."

Mai Sui and Er Wang went to prepare immediately.

Now, as long as the cooking is not troublesome, the two of them will work together, Mai Sui makes the fire and Erwang is the chef.

Erwang looked at the flour jar, then at the grass in the south room, and said to Lin Lan, "Mom, we have to grind the millstone these two days, and we also have to go cut some reeds and cattails for the firewood."

Lin Lan nodded, "Second brother is really the steward of our family. What would we do without you? We would be in such a mess." With Erwang helping her keep an eye on things, the family wouldn't find out that there was no flour or grass when cooking.

Han Qingsong said, "I'll go to the mill this afternoon."

At this time, the sweet potatoes were distributed. Most people would cook them in the evening and eat them all the next day. Especially if they did not do farm work, the men and children would eat some pasta, while the women would basically eat sweet potatoes every day, and they would eat until their stomachs were burnt.

Lin Lan didn't want her family to eat sweet potatoes all the time, so she cooked sweet potatoes at night and steamed cakes at noon so that they could be eaten together. Naturally, sorghum flour, corn flour, and wheat flour were consumed quickly, so the mill had to be pushed more diligently.

When Mai Sui was burning a fire, he asked San Wang to put the field mouse into the fire and bury it underneath. When the meal was ready, the field mouse was basically done.

Just like roasting sweet potatoes and taro, I used a fire poker to dig them out and they rolled on the ground, four black pieces.

Lin Lan took a look and found that it was really similar to roasted sweet potatoes, haha.

Several children began to shake and knock the stove, scraping off the burnt charcoal ash, and then began to decompose it. This step was usually done by Erwang. He first prepared some dry corn husks, and then decomposed the edible meat of the roasted field mouse and laid it out one by one.

Sanwang and Xiaowang sat around him, slurping their saliva and waiting to be fed.

Da Wang eats little, and his pleasure lies in catching voles. He becomes more and more skilled with training, and once he sets his sights on a vole's nest, he will be unable to escape.

Wheat ears only eat clean parts, such as the legs.

Xiao Wang took two hind legs and gave them to Lin Lan and Han Qingsong, "Mom, they smell so good."

Lin Lan was a little embarrassed, but when she met her son's big, round eyes, she smiled and took it, "Thank you, little darling, you can eat the rest."

She took advantage of Xiaowang's turn to stuff all the food into Han Qingsong's mouth and said jokingly, "This is a gift from my old son to you. Take it well."

Han Qingsong glanced at her, then chewed the bone and swallowed it.

Lin Lan: “…” Your teeth are really good.

Sanwang was enjoying the meal, "If I were to eat one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine...ah——"

Before he could finish, Da Wang slapped him in the face. He immediately changed his words, "I mean the Party Secretary. He can drink a small meal of wine for a grasshopper leg. If there is a roasted field mouse, wouldn't he have to drink two meals? Haha."

Xiao Wang ate very elegantly, chewing the leg meat clean. "It's really delicious. I wish there were as many as the cicada turtles."

Mai Sui's hair was about to explode. "Brother, there are so many field mice and cicada turtles. Where can we get food to eat?"

Sanwang: "Eat field mice."

Erwang: "I heard that we had a locust plague and a rat plague a few years ago. It was scary. Half the people in the village starved to death."

When Xiao Wang heard that he was starving, his face turned pale and he immediately shook his head, "We should not let too many field mice grow. Cicada turtles are tastier! He bit a small bone. Let's catch a few more tomorrow so that they can't damage the food."

When they watered the field mice, they sometimes managed to dig out a lot of food.

Erwang: "There are fewer now, all thanks to the eradication of the four pests in the past few years."

Thinking that eating field mice is like getting rid of the four pests, Xiaowang eats more vigorously, and feels that it tastes sweeter than eating cicada turtles. After all, when eating chicken, you have to mutter in your heart, why do you eat chicken when the chicken lays eggs. Eating field mice is not a burden at all, it is to get rid of pests, so you should eat more.

After dinner, Lin Lan took Mai Sui to continue sewing cotton clothes, Xiao Wang followed his father to grind the mill, and Da Wang took Er Wang and San Wang to cut cattails for firewood.

Han Qingsong did not go to the production team to borrow a donkey, but pushed it himself.

Liu Chunfang happened to come over with half a basket of corn on a large basket. When she saw Han Qingsong pushing the millstone, she immediately walked up to him and put down the basket, trying to get close to him and ask him to help push the millstone.

"Brother Qingsong, are you grinding the mill?" she asked.

Han Qingsong didn't see her, but heard someone talking. He kept walking and humming. After pushing the wheel a few times, he took a broom and swept the large particles into the threshing floor and continued to grind them.

Liu Chunfang: "Let me help you." She leaned over and reached out to take the broom from the millstone.

Han Qingsong: "Don't move!"

Liu Chunfang was about to touch the broom, but was frightened by his stern voice and quickly withdrew her hand.

Han Qingsong didn't pay attention to what she said before and thought it was just a girl from the village or someone else. When she came over to take a look, he realized it was the woman who had made the complaint.

He frowned, but said nothing and continued to grind the mill.

Liu Chunfang: "Green pine..."

Without waiting for the call of brother, Han Qingsong stopped and said seriously: "According to seniority, you should call me uncle."

Liu Chunfang: "..." A stingy and vindictive man! She calls all the men of his generation "brothers" and they have no objection, so why is he the only one who is so troublesome?

But she still wanted him to help with the mill, so she wasn't angry. She just pouted and stood there talking to Xiaowang.

Xiaowang sat on a big rock nearby and played the harmonica for a while, so that his father would have the strength to grind the millstone.

"Xiao Wang, what is your mother doing at home?"

Xiao Wang: "Sewing cotton-padded clothes."

Liu Chunfang laughed with obvious sarcasm, "Sewing cotton-padded clothes?"

Xiaowang was a very sensitive child. He immediately felt uncomfortable when she did this. He looked up at Liu Chunfang and said, "Of course!"

Liu Chunfang smiled and said, "Didn't your father sew it?"

Xiaowang ignored her. He was a polite child and never lost his temper with others. Although he knew that she was Hammer's mother, he would not be impolite. He just ignored her.

Liu Chunfang felt uncomfortable, especially since Lin Lan was the center of attention and was getting greedier and greedier. She even stewed meat in the middle of the night! She was the greediest person in the whole commune. I wonder if Han Qingsong was at home that day, and if he knew that his wife was so greedy that she was not worthy of him!

She deliberately asked loudly: "Xiao Wang, I heard that your mother stewed meat in the middle of the night. Did you eat it?"

Xiaowang glanced at his father. Han Qingsong was still grinding the millstone and didn't seem to notice them.

Xiaowang frowned and said nothing.

He ate it the next day, and Xiao San Ge even lied to him that he had eaten it all at night, which made him look forward to it for several days and think that he would turn into Popeye as his mother said.

But it didn't, which was really disappointing.

Liu Chunfang teased him, "It looks like you didn't eat it. It's such a pity that you didn't get to eat such a pot of meat. Your mother is so greedy and selfish. Why didn't she want to give it to you? Doesn't your father know?"

"No way!" Xiao Wang frowned. He was immediately unhappy when he heard people say bad things about his mother. He looked at Liu Chunfang with his big dark eyes. "Of course my father knew! He specially cooked this for my mother to nourish her body! My mother even left a big bowl for me!"

Humph! I'm not going to pay attention to you. You're talking about my mother being nagging.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Liu Chunfang thought that he was just like other children. She could easily coax him into saying bad things about his parents, and he even thought that he was picked up.

She said, "Don't be unhappy, I'll give you a candy." She pretended to take the candy from her pocket, but of course she didn't have any, it was just a trick used by adults to coax children.

Who knew that Xiao Wang suddenly got angry. He jumped to the ground and shouted loudly: "You are a gossip, I don't want to play with you!"

Gossips is a term Xiao Sanwang gave him. At that time, Sanwang said, "Any woman who asks about our mother's affairs and says bad things about her is a gossips, and men are just chattering old men. Don't play with them, ignore them, they are bad!" Xiaowang has always kept it in mind.

After saying that, he ran to find Han Qingsong.

Liu Chunfang was immediately stunned as if she had been punched in the head, and her cheeks flushed red. After all, she prided herself on being a woman who cared about her reputation and was not as thin-skinned as a prostitute. It was a great humiliation to be scolded by a child.

Other women happened to come by and when they heard Xiaowang scolding her, they looked over curiously.

Liu Chunfang stamped her feet in anger, feeling ashamed, embarrassed and afraid of losing face in front of other women. She quickly said, "You are such an undisciplined child. You asked me for candy and I don't have any right now, so why are you so angry?" She stopped pushing the millstone angrily and was about to leave with her basket.

Xiao Wang said to Han Qingsong aggrievedly: "Dad, she said bad things about my mother. Am I being rude if I scold her?"

Han Qingsong looked at him and patted his head. "Next time someone says something bad about your mother, just slap her. Dad will take responsibility for it."

Xiao Wang immediately pointed at Liu Chunfang, "It was her who said my mother was greedy and selfish and didn't want to give me the stewed meat! She is a bad woman!"

Liu Chunfang was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Naturally, she refused to admit it and quickly ran away with her big hoe.

The other women watched with great excitement, and although some of them were keen to say behind Lin Lan's back that she was greedy for meat at night, they certainly couldn't say it in front of the child, as that would be a way to sow discord.

However, after this incident, no one in Shanzui Village dared to ask Lin Lan's children about her, let alone say bad things about her to the children.

If Director Han really holds me up by the waist and lets my child slap me in the face, how shameless would I be!

The author has something to say: Many years later, the family gathered together to have a meal at the most famous private restaurant in the circle.

There was a table full of sea cucumbers, abalone, and other delicacies. Sanwang tasted them and sighed, "The feasts that Brother Xiaowang took me to when I was a child are still the most delicious!"

The whole room was shocked. When you were a kid, it was at most the early 1970s. Your family life was really good! What happened to the poor boy from a farming family?
