The weather was freezing cold, and water turned into ice. The members had entered into the cat-winter mode again, and would not go out unless necessary.
Of course, there are also men who like to build piles, and no environment can stop them from building piles. They build piles when they take a break from the busy farming season, or wherever it is convenient when they are free.
At this time they gathered in the brigade headquarters, which had three rooms with kangs prepared for the work teams that came down.
When no one is around, the men will go and warm up the kang, and then a dozen or even dozens of men will gather there and chat.
Although Han Yongfang was overbearing, this did not stop them. Allowing them to gather under his nose, listen to the radio, read outdated newspapers, and publicize the party's policies was much better than having them mess around behind his back.
Ever since He Laosan was scolded by Sanwang and Liu Chunfang was scolded by Xiaowang, they basically dare not whisper about Lin Lan and Han Qingsong behind their backs. They may be jealous, but they dare not say it out loud.
What's more, Han Yongfang was becoming more and more old-fashioned in their eyes. Not only these two people, but also other women would be scolded if they said anything bad about them.
So he couldn't fantasize about other women, so he could only make up lies and tell stories. That was where Liu Chun could fully shine, and they kept providing material.
"Liu Chuncai, let me tell you a story about my wife's family. I guarantee it will shock you." Chang Fuyu puffed on his pipe.
The men told him to speak quickly.
As a result, Chang Fuyu also got into the habit of telling jokes, and he talked on and on for a long time without getting to the point, which made Liu Chuncai very anxious.
"Haha, you also feel anxious? Didn't you make us anxious to death when you were talking above?" Someone teased him.
After much effort, Chang Fuyu, who was constipated, finally finished speaking. All the men in the room fell silent.
Finally, Liu Chuncai said, "This is impossible. Is there such a beast?"
Chang Fuyu: "How is it impossible? They said it with a clear conscience, 'I gave birth to my own daughter, so what if I sleep with her? It's only natural!'"
"Fuck him, how can you do this?" The men started to curse, "Chang Fuyu, stop making up stories."
Chang Fuyu chuckled, "Why don't you go ask around yourself? Everyone in their village knows about it."
Liu Chuncai said angrily: "If this happened in our village, we would ask the Party Secretary and Captain Lin to beat them like animals, and they would beat him to death!"
Someone said, "Then why don't you report it to the police station? Let the police arrest him and smash his head!"
"I'm afraid it won't work. There's no point in criticizing. What excuse do you have to criticize? It's their own child, you can beat or scold him as you want. Do you have permission to beat or scold your child at home?" They all said that there was no way to control this matter.
Liu Chuncai was now brainwashed by Lin Lan and could not bear this anymore, so he slipped out to find Lin Lan.
The children have already washed up and are lying on the bed listening to the radio. They will be going to sleep soon.
She had just washed her hair but it was not yet dry yet, so she sat on the kang and wrote a few stories. Han Qingsong burned two pieces of charcoal in the stove, put them in a small clay pot covered with an iron grate, and brought it over to dry her hair.
He sat next to her, massaging her scalp and pulling her hair to make it dry faster. "I'll help you dry your hair in the future so it can grow longer."
Lin Lan: ...Does every straight man have a dream of having a lover with long flowing hair?
"It's inconvenient to have long hair in the countryside. It gets dusty, tangled, and dry, which is a lot of trouble. It's easier to have short hair." Lin Lan dropped her pen and fell into his arms, feeling the warmth of his chest. The warmth always makes people sleepy.
The two of them didn't talk much, but the atmosphere was warm and peaceful, and the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
At this time, Liu Chuncai knocked on the door, "Sister Lin, Sister Lin."
Han Qingsong frowned slightly. Unless they were relatives from the woman's family, few people would discuss the generational division from the woman's side, unless the relationship was particularly close. Of course, Liu Chuncai and others admired Lin Lan very much, so they also liked to be close to her and called her sister.
"Who?" Lin Lan didn't hear clearly.
Han Qingsong: "Liu Chuncai. I'll go take a look."
Lin Lan: "If he has something to do, let him in." Liu Chuncai rarely came to see her so late, and Lin Lan thought there was something wrong. If she hadn't said this, he would have sent him away directly.
Han Qingsong went to open the door, but did not let Liu Chuncai in. "Go ahead."
Liu Chuncai poked his head out and saw that the light was still on in the room. He smiled and said, "Director Han, Sister Lin is not asleep yet, right?"
Han Qingsong remained calm and said, "He's asleep."
Liu Chuncai didn't believe it, but under Han Qingsong's stern gaze, he didn't dare to force his way in, so he had to tell Han Qingsong what Chang Fuyu said, "Director Han, do you think he is a beast?"
Han Qingsong: "Tell me to shoot him, but I can't go beyond the law."
Liu Chuncai: "Then, arrest him and sentence him, that should be fine."
Han Qingsong: "What about his child? Are you raising him?"
Children are not the private property of their parents, but because children need to be raised by their parents, many parents feel that their children are their own and that they have the power of life and death, and no one can interfere.
Liu Chuncai was speechless. "What should we do? We can't just..."
Han Qingsong: "Tomorrow I will have someone go to their brigade to check if he has any counter-revolutionary or outstanding behavior." At this time, as long as he is not a spy or counter-revolutionary, it is not convenient for the Public Security Bureau to intervene in the brigade's affairs. In particular, some men beat their wives and children, and the brigade cannot control it. So it is impossible to do it directly, so it can only be done in a roundabout way, through the intervention of the brigade and the supervision of neighbors.
Liu Chuncai was a little confused, but Han Qingsong was too lazy to explain it to him.
"Go back and think about it carefully." Han Qingsong closed the door.
Liu Chuncai stood outside the door silently for a while, scratching his head, thinking, it seems that the village lacks a branch secretary like Han Yongfang! If we let our branch secretary manage their village, I guarantee that everyone will be well governed.
When Han Qingsong returned to the room, Lin Lan's hair was almost dry.
She glanced at him. "What's the matter?"
Han Qingsong: "Nothing, I'm reporting the case. It's not from our village. I'll ask Luo Haicheng to take someone to check it out tomorrow."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Liu Chuncai is quite interesting. What case can he report?"
Han Qingsong did not elaborate. He took the charcoal brazier to the door, took off his shoes, went to bed on the kang, spread a quilt on the bed, and hugged his wife to sleep.
Lin Lan felt that he was a little silent. Although he was usually silent and rarely spoke more than two sentences a day, because of the tacit understanding between the two of them, she could still feel that something was wrong with him.
He seemed to be suppressing something, certainly not lust, as he never suppressed himself on the kang.
More like anger?
He was angry.
Lin Lan turned over and propped herself up, "Third brother, what's the matter?"
Han Qingsong put his big hand into her vest and stroked her back, "Go to sleep, I'll let you rest tonight."
Lin Lan's face suddenly became hot. She was concerned about him, but she didn't want to do anything to him.
But she was more than happy that he would let her go. She immediately rolled into his arms and nestled in the most comfortable position, biting his collarbone mischievously.
The big hand that had been stroking her back slowly and steadily suddenly increased its strength, pressing her heavily towards him.
Lin Lan panted lightly and laughed secretly, "Go to sleep quickly...mm..."
He kissed her until she couldn't breathe, and his low, hoarse voice with a burning breath pressed against her lips, "If you're not tired, we can continue."
Lin Lan immediately closed her eyes and lay quietly in his arms, "...tired."
She was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes all day. Well, people say that idle time in the farm is the cat's winter, but who knows that idle time in the farm is like a wolf that can't be fed!
…
Although Han Qingsong did not tell Lin Lan the details, he did not give Liu Chuncai a perfunctory answer. As soon as he got to work the next day, he told Sun Zhuowen about the matter and asked him to go with Luo Haicheng. One of them was good at talking, and the other was good at intimidation. If necessary, they could beat him up.
Even Luo Haicheng himself is afraid of him when he becomes fierce, and he still looks quite murderous.
Sun Zhuowen and Luo Haicheng did not disappoint the public and solved the problem on the same day. They locked the man up and let him starve for a few days, then beat him a few times at mealtimes to intimidate him.
Basically, he was almost destroyed.
From then on, any work that required labor in the village was assigned to him, and the goal was to make him work 365 days a year so that he could have some free time at home.
Once he was at home, the women's director and village cadres were arranged to visit his home twice a day, morning and evening, and to arrest any child who behaved abnormally. The neighbors were also told that if they saw him misbehaving with their children, threatening or beating them, they could gang up on him, and there would be rewards for reporting.
This frightened the man greatly, and he went to do any work assigned to him by the brigade, and would not stay at home if possible.
This is also a solution. As long as someone is in charge, the cowardly evil person will always be more restrained. After all, the father does not look like a vicious person. He is submissive outside and only beats his wife and children at home. After his wife died, he attacked the children without restraint.
The situation is much better now in the brigade. Although he still curses, at least he doesn't dare to hit the children anymore.
Later, Lin Lan found out and complained: "What are the officers in their brigade doing? They don't care about anything."
She just couldn't believe that no one would know about this, with so many gossipy men and women living together in the village. To be frank, in an open-style house like this in the countryside, if someone farted at home, the neighbors on both sides would hear it clearly.
Han Qingsong asked her not to be angry and patted her back. "We will strengthen the public security education and patrols of each brigade. We also ask your publicity team to cooperate."
So Lin Lan had another task. She had to organize Dong Huaihua, Liu Chuncai, Xiuyun and Yanyan from her own village and recruit backbone members from nearby villages to form a commune propaganda team to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau in carrying out various safety education propaganda.
Not only did they receive work points and food, but they also received money, so everyone was busy and happy.
Of course, the public security in other villages is not as good as that in Shanzui Village. There is always a group of idle people or rogues in the village. They either rely on the village cadres or even give them a headache.
The propaganda team went there, and among them were beautiful young girls and wives, so they were bound to have some evil thoughts.
As a result, the most ferocious, tyrannical and famous gangster in the commune had half of his teeth kicked out by Han Qingsong, and was then captured and brought to a meeting to fight against hooligans. After a few examples were set, the hooligans became obedient.
Then, whenever Lin Lan went out to work, Han Qingsong would take the initiative to accompany her. He would shock everyone by just sitting aside without saying a word.
Lin Lan joked that he was a ferocious beast in charge of the place.
…
Time passed quickly in the busy life and in the blink of an eye, it was already Leaning Moon.
Last night the north wind blew apart the cotton wool that covered the sky and the sun. When I woke up in the morning the sky and the earth were all white, and even the greedy sparrows were nowhere to be seen.
The thick white snow is spotless, clean and white, which is the state that children like to play in the most.
Lin Lan wrapped herself in a cotton padded jacket and crouched on the windowsill, rolling up the small window. She then used a wooden ruler to poke open the straw curtain and looked out. A cold wind blew in, making her shiver while shouting, "Hurry up and have a snowball fight!"
As she shouted, the children in the east room woke up and screamed in surprise.
When Lin Lan wanted to remember, Han Qingsong grabbed her waist and she fell back into his warm embrace. She screamed in surprise and only then did she feel the severe soreness in her waist and legs.
Director Han is not at work today!
Because of the heavy snow, he didn't get up early for morning exercise, which was a rare opportunity for him to be lazy.
He held her in his arms and kissed her intensively, "Sleep for a while longer. I'll go sweep the snow."
The children had woken up and were rushing into the yard to play.
Soon, Da Wang slapped San Wang and signaled him to be quiet.
Wrapped in a bright red scarf, Mai Sui felt as warm as the fire. She rubbed her hands and said with a smile, "Don't wake up Mom. Let her sleep a little longer."
Sanwang wanted to go to the window and lift the straw curtain to peek to see if his parents were sleeping in a cross-legged position, but Dawang grabbed him by the neck and threw him into the soft snow.
Sanwang started to get excited and pulled Xiaowang and Xiaobai to help throw snowballs at his elder brother.
They played all the way to the gate, battling back and forth and having a blast. Some kids from the neighborhood even heard the noise and came over to play.
Han Qingsong got up. Lin Lan didn't want to sleep any longer either. She was awake but couldn't fall asleep again.
She also got dressed and went down to shovel snow with everyone.
Although snow is fun, if the roads are not cleared, they will suffer. At best, they will fall, and at worst, they will be injured.
Lin Lan was dressed neatly, wrapped up tightly, and went out wearing the cotton gloves that her lady had designed for her. Han Qingsong had already started to clean the snow in the yard, and she also took a shovel to help shovel the snow.
The children were happily playing snowball fights outside.
The soft snow was like white sugar, which Xiaowang found magical. He led Wangwang and Xiaobai to roll around in the snow and have a lot of fun.
Wangwang gave birth to several puppies, four of which were given away, leaving only Xiaobai. The main reason was that Xiaobai was too weak, and others were afraid that it would be difficult to raise it, so they didn't want it. The children felt sorry for it, so Lin Lan kept it, and it has been eating breast milk and has grown up.
Maybe it’s because of his poor physical condition that he looks silly, cute, lazy and slow, and he’s always a step behind in everything he does.
Xiaowang was standing on tiptoe to pick up the snow on the branches when suddenly, Sanwang threw a loose snowball on his neck, freezing him so much that he jumped in pain.
"Xiaobai, go!" Xiaowang caught a snowball and threw it at Sanwang while commanding Xiaobai.
Sanwang threw a snowball at Xiaobai's head, causing it to explode and the white fur and white snow to blend into one.
Xiaobai was hit so hard that he was a little dazed. He shook his head and looked around. Then his body tilted and he fell to the ground in the snow, unable to move.
Xiao Wang: "!! Xiao San brother, you got smashed to death by Xiao Bai! It's over!"
Sanwang looked over and laughed, "Don't lie to me! Xiaobai will just play dead. I know that."
Over there, Wheat Ear helped Xiaowang to throw a snowball at Sanwang, and Sanwang dived into the snow pile and didn't move.
Mai Sui laughed loudly: "Don't pretend to be nice to me, get up and fight!"
She threw the broom away, ran over, took the snow and stuffed it into Sanwang's neck.
Sanwang is not afraid of the cold!
He took the opportunity to overturn the wheat ears and stuffed a handful of snow into the wheat ear scarf.
"Ah——" Mai Sui jumped up suddenly because of the cold, "I'm frozen, frozen!"
She quickly ran to Lin Lan and asked her to help her shake the snow out of her scarf. Lin Lan looked inside her cotton-padded jacket and saw that it was full of snow.
She said, "Go inside and take it off and shake it off. It will be bad if you get wet in there."
Lin Lan followed Han Qingsong to shovel the snow, and she swept the ground.
Sanwang stomped his feet and jumped, raising his arms and shouting, "Haha, I'm invincible!" He defeated Xiaowang, Xiaobai, and Maisui.
Just as he was feeling proud of himself, a loose snowball exploded on his face, covering him all over.
"Ah - so cool!" San Wang ran towards his elder brother, "You attacked me secretly, I want revenge!"
When he ran towards Da Wang, he took advantage of Er Wang who was shoveling snow and jumped up to stuff a snowball into Er Wang's neck.
As a result, the whole family went to beat him up, chasing him up and down, laughing non-stop.
Suddenly a snowball was thrown towards Lin Lan. Han Qingsong was quick to catch it and throw it back.
"Bang" Sanwang was knocked to the ground in the snow.
"Ahhhh — who has so much strength? Foul, foul!" Sanwang deliberately hid in the snow pile and started kicking around with his two feet, causing his brothers and sisters to throw snowballs at him.
Just as the party was getting lively, a man came in and said, "Haha, you guys are so lively, I want to play too!"
He grabbed the snowball and threw it at Da Wang.
Da Wang dodged and saw that it was Han Qinghua, so he said, "The fourth master is back."
Han Qinghua smiled and said, "Yes, of course I have to come back because your aunt is getting married. You guys are having so much fun, let's play together. When I was a kid, I loved playing snowball fights the most."
Da Wang: "We have to shovel the snow first." He handed the shovel to Han Qinghua.
Han Qinghua: “…”
Han Qingsong and Lin Lan exchanged a few pleasantries with him and asked him to go inside to talk.
Han Qinghua smiled and said, "Let's shovel the snow outside first. The road is slippery after dark. It's no joke if you fall."
Da Wang took the broom from Lin Lan and went outside with Han Qinghua to shovel snow. His younger brother and sister followed. When the house was almost cleaned up, Han Qingsong asked Lin Lan to go inside to warm up, and he went out to shovel snow with her.
Before dinner time, Lin Lan called Mai Sui back to the house to make some sweet soup in a small clay pot. A bowl of this soup was warm and comfortable in the snow.
Mai Sui whispered, "Mom, when I saw my aunt yesterday evening, she didn't look very happy."
"She is rarely happy."
Lin Lan didn't care whether Han Jinyu was happy or not. She was willful and rude to begin with, and now that she was in love, her IQ dropped, and she was bound to be laughed at. After the engagement, she came home and said she wanted to cancel the engagement, not get married, and it was over, no less than ten times! How could you expect someone who was always willful and selfish to change all of a sudden? Impossible.
Han Jinyu's wedding date was set for the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. Han's eldest and second sisters-in-law sewed a quilt for her, and she also made a set of clothes. She also bought a pair of leather shoes. She was much better off than ordinary farm girls.
There are also some things that others don’t have.
If she is still unhappy, then Lin Lan doesn't know how she can be happy. She is like a child who cannot control herself and gets angry whenever she wants.
Lin Lan prepared the sweet soup, and Mai Sui went to call them to drink it.
Han Qingsong and a few others also finished sweeping the snow to make sure that the ground would not be too slippery and icy at night. Hearing Mai Sui calling, Han Qingsong called his brother to go home and rest.
Han Qinghua didn't hesitate and followed him into the house.
Lin Lan had already brought the casserole to the table, and the room was suddenly filled with steam, a warm and homely feeling.
"Sister-in-law, you live your life very well." It's nice to have a sip of hot water at this time, and it's sweet soup.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "People only care about things when they are poor. If you have enough food and drink, there is nothing to care about."
Han Qinghua smiled and thought to himself that it was as if you had never lacked food and drink.
Lin Lan made hawthorn and pear juice and added sugar, so it was sour and sweet and very delicious.
She handed a bowl to Han Qinghua.
Han Qinghua immediately took it in his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law." He turned to Han Qingsong and said, "Miss Qin from the farm, ah, Comrade Qin, it's not appropriate to call her Miss or Master nowadays, that's the way of capitalists. Haha, she lives like a fairy all day long. I see that sister-in-law is so particular, so she's almost the same."
Lin Lan naturally didn't know who Miss Qin was.
Han Qingsong said sternly: "Your sister-in-law lives a hard life as a propertyless and lower-middle peasant. There is a world of difference between her and a lady from the bourgeoisie."
Lin Lan glanced at them and asked, "Ms. Qin?"
She vaguely felt that Han Qinghua's sudden mention of "Miss Qin" might have some meaning.
Han Qinghua glanced at Han Qingsong and smiled teasingly, but didn't tell Lin Lanming, as if to say, "I know something but my brother won't let me tell you. If you want to know, just ask."
Han Qingsong drank a mouthful of sweet soup from Lin Lan's teacup, exhaled white hot air, and said to Lin Lan, "Zhang Heilu fell in love with a capitalist-roader, suspected of being a counter-revolutionary, and I scolded him. He changed his ways and got engaged a while ago. He married a daughter-in-law who is loud, bold, and straightforward. Not bad, she is quite capable."
There is such gossip! Lin Lan laughed.
Han Qinghua: “…” Miss Qin was labeled a capitalist-roader by people with ulterior motives just because she liked watching movies and reading foreign books. She was not a counter-revolutionary.
He said nothing, just drank his soup silently.
Sanwang and Xiaowang drank a bowl of wine. Xiaowang wanted to give some to Xiaobai, but Sanwang was reluctant to let him.
"Brother Xiaowang, let's drink now and wait for the evening, ah, you know." Take Xiaobai to drink when you dream at night, drink as much as you want.
Although Xiaowang is slow to understand or not that interested in other things besides music and art, he is not stupid! Eating a big meal in a dream can only fool you for two days, how can it fool you for a whole year?
Xiao Wang: "Xiao San brother, didn't you say Xiao Bai is your son? Don't knock on the door."
Sanwang: "You also said that Xiaobai is your brother."
A group of people: “…………”
Finally, Lin Lan put some tasteless pears and hawthorns in the dog bowl for Wangwang and Xiaobai to eat.
Wangwang doesn't eat, but Xiaobai accepts everything. He has gotten used to eating with Xiaowang and will try everything.
After drinking the sweet soup, Han Qinghua invited his brother and sister-in-law to play there. "Let's all go, including the children. Unfortunately, there's nothing special on our farm. We didn't bring any snacks except a few pounds of food."
Han Qingsong said: "It's good that you thought of bringing two kilograms of food for your parents."
Han Qinghua just laughed.
Lin Lan looked at the time and said, "It's almost time to cook. You guys go ahead. I won't go until you need help."
Lin Lan was not interested in going to Dawang's house, as it was cold and smelled like urine. Xiaowang said that going from his home to his grandma's house was like going from a warm house to an ice cellar, and he didn't want to go.
Not only is the temperature low, the atmosphere is also depressing. Children are the most sensitive and naturally don't want to go up.
Han Qingsong and Han Qinghua went there. On the way, Han Qinghua said with a smile: "Third brother, Teacher Fan asked me to bring it to you."
"The police are staying at the farm. If he has anything to say, he can talk to me directly."
"Haha, Third Brother, he's just being polite."
When we got there, the family was discussing the marriage in the east room.
In the past, there were many rules for getting married, but now that people are short of food and clothing, there is no need for such ceremonies. Basically, on the day of marriage, the groom comes to pick up the bride on a bicycle or horse carriage, and the bride's brother or sister-in-law goes with them, and after sending the bride to the wedding, they have a meal with the in-laws and then come back.
As for visiting parents' home, it depends on whether it is convenient for each person.
There is no need to send the dowry in advance. It is not a lot in total. The brothers can just deliver it on the wedding day.
Old Lady Han said, "When your sister gets married, all four of you brothers must go to see her off."
Han Qingsong said: "The eldest brother and the fourth brother can go."
The eldest brother is honest and loyal, and he doesn't say much when he goes there, unlike the second brother who has a pair of sly eyes and talks nonsense. Besides, so many people have to eat, and they are not well-off, so they don't want to spend money.
Han Jinyu was lying on the kang feeling depressed. When she heard Han Qingsong say this, she immediately raised her head and asked, "Third brother, you're not going?"
Han Qingsong: "My status is not suitable to go, so as not to add pressure to others."
Han Jinyu was unhappy, "Mom, how can my third brother not go?"
If her third brother goes, she can save face. If he doesn't go, will the Liu family take her seriously? Besides, she wants her third brother to save face for Liu Haozhe. Then, Liu Haozhe's colleagues, leaders, and neighbors will see that her third brother is the director of the Public Security Bureau. How face-saving!
But Han Qingsong didn't say that he was busy at work, he just said that he was special and didn't put pressure on others, so she couldn't refute it. She could only act coquettishly and willfully with Mrs. Han, forcing Han Qingsong to save face for her.
Old Lady Han looked at her third son and said unhappily, "Third son, you are such a fool. You only have one sister, and when she gets married, shouldn't you be the one to see her off?"
Han Qingsong said: "It's not that I won't go, it's just that my status is not suitable. Besides, it's my duty. I forgot to deal with the troubles that may cause trouble to the wedding."
What if his occupational disease relapses and this and that seem suspicious?
Although what happened between Liu Haozhe and the mother and daughter was not considered a crime in Han Qingsong's eyes, it was not a good thing either.
When Luo Haicheng found out, Han Qingsong tactfully told Han Jinyu and suggested that the marriage be cancelled. Han Jinyu said she knew and it was no big deal, that Liu Haozhe was just kind and he had already confessed to her. She also blamed Han Qingsong for using his authority to investigate Liu Haozhe, and wondered if Lin Lan had caused trouble for him.
Han Qingsong would naturally not interfere any more, let alone force them to separate, but that doesn't mean he is willing to associate with Liu Haozhe.
Seeing that Han Qingsong was unwilling and determined, Han Qinghua said, "Forget it. Third brother is very busy and it is really inconvenient. I can go with my eldest brother."
Han's second brother said, "I'll go too!" Han's second brother, who had been ignored all along, finally spoke up.
Getting married and having a wedding banquet is so glamorous. Of course you should go to the city to have the wedding banquet. It will be enough to show off for several days after you come back.
Han Jinyu: "What are you doing? All you do is eat!"
Han Erge suddenly felt embarrassed, but he was not annoyed. He just smiled and said, "You are quite interesting. Who wouldn't eat when sending off a bride?"
Old Mrs. Han added, "Then we need to send a child to press the kang."
The boy who presses the kang is usually a little boy of four or five years old, who is ignorant but cute and adorable. They prefer Xiaowang.
Xiaowang is handsome, clean, sweet and talkative. It is auspicious to let him sleep on the kang for one night.
Brother Han looked at Han Qingsong and was about to ask Xiaowang to go, but Han Qingsong said, "Let Xiaofu go. Xiaowang is still young and will cry if he leaves his mother."
Not to mention pressing the kang for Han Jinyu, even if she went to someone else's house to press the kang, Lin Lan would not be happy unless someone from the village was there to watch over her.
Han Qingsong knew Lin Lan, so he pushed it for her.
Han Jinyu was completely unhappy. "What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will get any benefit from it? I haven't even left yet, and you think I'm a bad luck star or something? You don't even dare to get any benefit from it?"
Old Mrs. Han was not happy either.
Han Qinghua and Han's elder brother hurried to smooth things over. Han's elder brother also wanted to persuade Han Qingsong that it would not be a bad idea to let Xiaowang go since he would follow him anyway.
Han Qingsong did not give him a chance, "It's settled. If you insist on me going, I can go. But I have to bring Luo Haicheng and Liu Jianyun with me. They will search the place thoroughly out of habit, and it would be bad to scare them."
Han Jinyu was so angry that she started to cry, "Forget it, forget it. You don't treat me as your sister, and I still shamelessly beg you? I'm not a scabby dog."
She had thought it through. Liu Haozhe looked down on her and even jokingly called her a brainless vase. How could she tolerate that? She thought of asking her third brother to save face for her, and to save face for him as well, so that he would look up to her.
But the third brother didn't go at all! How could she not be angry?
Even the boy who presses the kang is not allowed to go with Xiaowang. Does she want that?
She said angrily, "Forget it. What do you need to press down the kang? No need. There's not even a kang. What's there to press down? We sleep on beds in the city!"
After hearing her say this, Han Qingsong said nothing. He just said that he would give them the bicycles to send the bride off, and then left.
"Mom, my third brother never treated me as his sister." Han Jinyu threw herself into the old lady's arms and cried.
Although the old lady was happy that her daughter had found a good husband, she was also very sad. She was reluctant to give her treasure to someone else and to serve another man. Moreover, Liu Haozhe did not treasure her wealth like she did, so the old lady was not so happy.
She also wanted her third son to support the young lady, but Han Qingsong refused.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Han Qinghua stopped trying to persuade him, but instead just sighed on the side.
Han couldn't stand it and said, "Don't talk about your third brother like that. You still owe them 500 yuan. If he wasn't your real brother..."
"Brother, you are squeezing me like this too!" Han Jinyu cried madly, "I won't get married... I won't get married..."
No one except Old Lady Han tried to coax her. They just let her cry on her own. She would stop crying when she had cried enough.
Although Han Jinyu said a hundred times that she would never get married, when the fifth day of the New Year came she was more excited than anyone else and dressed up immediately.
Han's second sister-in-law mocked her: "They're not coming until tomorrow, why are you dressing up now?"
Han Jinyu: "You are jealous!"
Han's second wife curled her lips and said, "I'm really jealous. Who is as lucky as you? You got married to a city guy and now you can eat commodity food."
She was speaking sarcastically, of course. Liu Haozhe ate commercial grains, but Han Jinyu did not. Her household registration allowed her to go to the suburban commune and earn work points there.
Han Jinyu was so happy that she didn't notice anything. She just thought that her second sister-in-law was jealous of her. She dressed up and didn't even bother to wash her face at night. She slept in her clothes all night. She got up early the next morning before dawn.
Last night, Brother Han reminded her and the old lady, "Should we go talk to the sisters-in-law and aunts first and come to open the box for your sister tomorrow morning?"
When a bride gets married, all the happy aunts and sisters-in-law from the same family will come to greet her, help her pack her trousseau, wash her face and comb her hair, and then wait with her until the groom arrives to marry her.
Old Lady Han thought so too, but Han Jinyu snorted, "It's such a big happy event, it's a privilege to invite them. Who wouldn't be happy? Why do we need to invite them?" In her opinion, women generally want to join in the fun and celebration at a wedding, so there's no need to invite them. It would be so embarrassing to invite them, and she would be annoyed when they all swarmed over.
She was certain that they would all come and there was no need to invite them, so she didn't call them.
Since she doesn't call Han "Brother", she naturally won't hang out with women.
The result was that Han Jinyu got up the next day and waited for a long time, but no one came!!!
…
Han Jinyu was stunned. At that moment, she did not realize that she was unpopular. She thought that others were jealous of her and might even deliberately not come to squeeze her. She even cried to Mrs. Han: "It must be Lin Lan who did it!"
Brother Han was stunned. He didn't expect this to happen. "What does this have to do with your third sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense."
Han Jinyu originally imagined that many women who annoyed her would come to take advantage of her happiness, but she didn't expect that no one came. How embarrassing and humiliating it was!
She couldn't accept it.
In the end, Brother Han had no choice but to call Han's eldest sister-in-law, Lin Lan, Han's second sister-in-law, Zhang Caihong and several other sisters-in-law to come and help.
Han Jinyu was arrogant and looked down on everyone. She was not nice to her sister-in-law and had even less relationships with others. She often provoked people, so people naturally didn't feel comfortable around her. Now that Han Da Ge invited her, she said she would go over to help.
Soon seven or eight women came to help.
Han Qingsong also came to take a look, but in fact they didn't need to help, after all, it was nothing serious, just his sister's wedding, and his brother and sister-in-law had to attend.
As a result, no one from the Liu family came after the whole morning.
Han Jinyu was so angry that she started crying, threw her shoes away, and said she would not marry.
Zhang Caihong and the other daughters-in-law were supposed to wait for Han Jinyu after serving her and then wait for the aunt to come and pick her up, but they didn't know it was not even noon yet. They couldn't stay here forever, they had to go home to cook and take care of the children.
Sister-in-law Han said to Brother Han: "I'm here to help you, but the one with the chess piece and the fruit is not allowed to grab two handfuls?"
I'm reluctant to give up the candy, but I'll at least give some points to the peanuts and dough chess pieces, right?
Brother Han: "They are all in Jin Yu's suitcase. They said that there is not enough for her to share at her husband's house, let alone her parents' house."
Mrs. Han: Haha, haha, get lost.
She whispered to Lin Lan, "You haven't even gone to your husband's house yet, and you don't even consider your parents as human beings."
Who wouldn't take advantage of their aunt's wedding to give their nephews and nieces something good to eat? But she was so different that she locked up a box of candy pieces and peanuts in her own suitcase and went to her husband's house to share them.
Don’t my husband’s family do it?
Sugar chess pieces are actually made by mixing flour with sugar and eggs, rolling them into a hard, half-centimeter-thick cake, then cutting them into small diamond-shaped pieces with a knife, and then adding bran and stir-frying them in a large pot. After frying, they taste crispy, sweet, and fragrant, and are a favorite of children.
Whenever someone's getting married, they go to join in the fun. That's what they want.
Han Jinyu was locked up!!!
This is really rare. She doesn't know the rules, and the old lady doesn't know either?
Lin Lan didn't know what to say. "Forget it, forget it. Let her do whatever she wants. We'll just send her away and forget about it."
As a result, at noon, Liu Haozhe had not arrived yet!
Han Jinyu was crying her heart out, so other people's sisters-in-law and aunts naturally didn't bother to look at her and all made excuses to go home.
Soon, only a few brothers and sisters-in-law were left in the family.
Han Qinghua said angrily: "This Liu Haozhe, Third Brother, let's go and take a look."

Director Han: I am the man in front and behind Teacher Lin!
