Chapter 28
The County Public Security Bureau had already gone off work. The robbery case had been solved. The young men in the Public Security Bureau were so happy that they went to a state-owned hotel for dinner to celebrate. The others went home, leaving only a little girl in the archives and two police officers on duty.
The little girl had just started working. Her parents both worked in the public security system. After she graduated from technical secondary school, her parents arranged for her to work in the County Public Security Bureau. She usually sorted out documents and wrote reports in the archives. The work was very leisurely.
There was one thing, that the new police officers had to take turns on duty until six o'clock - this was the old rule of the County Public Security Bureau, and no one was exempt. Because
of the embarrassing incident that Lin Daguo had caused today, and because Li Aifeng and Lao Bailian had been swearing at each other in the detention room, they kept making dirty talk.
The little girl grew up in a harmonious family and in the city. She had never heard such unpleasant words, such as "old womanizer" and "slut". She instinctively had a bad impression of Lin Daguo's family, and she also had a bad face towards Lin Hongna who rushed over.
If Lin Daguo had caused this adultery incident a few years later, he would have been put on a big sign and paraded through the streets by the commune. He might even have been sent to a farm to get a haircut. It
was also considered that Lin Daguo and his daughter were lucky. The daughter had just been caught adultering, and the father was not to be outdone and followed suit. There were many romantic oolong incidents these days. If the incident was serious, the public security bureau would bring the person back for criticism and education. The family came to pay the fine and sign their name to take the person away.
The Lin family has four members, and the two old ones are in prison. Lin Hongwu is busy trying to please his future father-in-law and his family. He doesn't even say a word when his parents are in trouble.
Lin Hongna hates her parents very much, but she has to come forward because Sun Jialiang has no patience for her after what happened before, and the old hag in the Sun family doesn't like her. If the Sun family knew about today's farce, she would lose everything.
In the duty room of the county public security bureau, a photo of the chairman and a red banner sent by the masses are hung on the whitewashed wall. The girl on duty is sitting behind the desk. She doesn't even blink when she hears the footsteps coming in.
Lin Hongna thought she was busy, and subconsciously showed a smile that she thought was friendly and appropriate. She stretched out her hand and smiled at the little girl, "Hello, comrade, I am Lin Daguo's family member, I will handle it..."
The little girl had a cold face and snorted "um" from her nose. She pulled out a piece of paper from under a pile of documents and interrupted her directly, "Lin Daguo and Li Aifeng gathered together to make trouble, flouted the law, and corrupted social morality. They did not constitute a crime. According to the law, they will be fined eight yuan. Pay the fine and press your fingerprint here."
It was just a fight, but she was fined eight yuan. Her monthly salary was only fifteen yuan!
Most of her salary was gone in an instant, and Lin Hongna was heartbroken.
No matter how much she felt, it couldn't make up for the humiliation of being despised.
Lin Hongna was so angry that she took her hand back. She gritted her teeth and took out eight yuan from her bag. She slammed it on the desk without counting it.
The girl on duty was even more arrogant than her. She frowned and said rudely, "Why are there so many banknotes? It's so troublesome to count them. You have no money but still make trouble. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
Lin Hongna was so angry that she almost bit her silver teeth.
Lao Bailian's family lived in the county town. Her family got the news and was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and be embarrassed. They rushed to pay the fine and took her away.
Li Aifeng had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only hold the iron fence and curse at Lin Daguo.
As soon as the iron door of the detention room opened, the disheveled Li Aifeng rushed over like a wild bull and chased Lin Daguo all the way.
Lin Daguo's face was covered with scratches, and he ran out with all his might.
Li Aifeng, as a woman, could not outrun a man. She could not catch Lin Daguo, and sat on the ground, crying and cursing with snot in her eyes: "Oh! Hongna, you finally came to save your mother. Your father is a damn bastard, a conscienceless old beast. He is looking for a cheap woman outside, he has no conscience..."
She thought that the Public Security Bureau was a rural area, and she could make trouble if she wanted to, and Lin Hongna could not stop her.
The young policeman who had just entered the rest room to cool off for a while was furious. He came out and scolded, "What are you doing? What are you doing? This is the Public Security Bureau! You just came out and you're making trouble! If you make trouble again, go back to jail!"
Li Aifeng was like a chicken with its neck pinched, and she immediately became silent.
Lin Hongna said a few kind words and quickly helped Li Aifeng, who couldn't even stand, to walk out.
As soon as she left the police station, Li Aifeng, who had just pretended to be dead,
immediately became lively. She slumped and wiped her snot on the soles of her shoes, "Where is Hongwu? Why didn't he come?" Lin Hongna frowned and took two steps back, "I can't contact him."
"Hongwu is busy. He is a promising man. He will do great things in the future. If he doesn't come, then don't come."
Li Aifeng praised her son.
Lin Hongna didn't refute her, but sneered in her heart. Lin
Hongwu, that good-for-nothing and ungrateful person, was only treated as a treasure by Li Aifeng.
Li Aifeng kept talking nonsense. In the end, it was nothing more than asking Lin Hongna to work harder and take down Sun Jialiang as soon as possible, so that she could benefit from it and help her brothers from her mother's family.
Lin Hongna was annoyed and said impatiently, "Okay, Mom, stop nagging. I can handle my own affairs!"
After that, she turned around and left.
Li Aifeng jumped up and chased after her, "You little girl, you dislike your own mother. You crawled out of my belly. If you don't listen to me, who do you listen to? Why hasn't your brother's job been converted to a formal job yet..."
*
The evening of August summer was full of clouds and the gorgeous sunset was solemn. The large courtyard with white walls and black tiles was as beautiful as a landscape painting from a distance.
On the way back, Lin Yao met Gu Shidong who ran out to look for him. The two came back together.
Gu Shidong really regarded Lin Yao as a relative. The two had similar personalities, and his sister-in-law was like his little playmate.
Zhang Cuilan bought half a basket of taro and was washing it in the yard. When she saw Lin Yao coming back, she smiled and said, "Yaoyao, what did you buy that smells so good? Jasmine flowers. This is good. You can put it in the house for fragrance, or you can dry it and soak it in water to drink. It's very good."
Lin Yao became energetic and brought a small stool with great interest. She carefully picked out the fresh jasmine flowers and put them in the yard to dry them and make flower tea.
Gu Shidong came over to help.
After a while, Gu Mancang, who went to the cafeteria to get food, went home happily.
The brat immediately ran over and asked, "Dad, what's delicious in the cafeteria today?"
Gu Mancang opened the lunch box in the net bag, which contained stewed eggplant with winter melon, sweet potato dumplings, and wild vegetable porridge.
When Gu Shidong saw it, he shouted unhappily, "Why is it wild vegetable porridge again? There is no shrimp or meat in the dish! Sister-in-law, Director Ge is lying!"
Didn't we agree that we can eat meat and white flour steamed buns every day in the commune canteen?
Lin Yao pulled the brat over and told him to speak in a low voice. If people outside heard it, they would think that you are dissatisfied with the commune canteen.
Gu Shidong whispered, "I am telling the truth, why can't I say it."
Lin Yao rolled his eyes at the naughty kid.
Brat, you can't tell the truth, don't you know?
The boy wanted to complain, but Zhang Cuilan got angry and said, "You bastard, food can't stop you! Wild vegetable porridge is good enough. If you want to eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, go get them yourself. The government doesn't owe you anything. It's wrong to provide you with food and drink!"
The boy pouted and ran away.
In fact, it doesn't matter what Aunt Cuilan said.
Now there is a flood in the north, and grain from the south is transferred to the north for disaster relief. Even so, there are many places in the north where the commune canteens can't be run, and each family can only take care of themselves.
Yunshui County is still good. The government has done its best to ensure that the people have enough food.
Gu Shidong wanted to make money on his own, it would be great if he didn't have to go to school, but...
the brat looked at his short stature of 1.3 meters and his short legs, and was unhappy and dazed.
Oh, when will he grow up? When he grows up, he won't have so many troubles.
Fortunately, on his way home from work, Gu Shi'an went to a state-owned hotel and ordered two dishes, one was three fresh vegetables and the other was mutton soup.
Mutton soup is very affordable these days. A large lunch box of mutton soup, in which mutton alone takes up half of the lunch box. When
Deputy Director Gu took out the lunch box, the old Gu family stared.
I have been feeling hungry these days, eating boiled vegetables. Although I am very hungry, it always tastes bland.
Although they had just eaten braised pork, there were only a few pieces of it. There were four or five people in the family, and one or two pieces per person was gone, which was not satisfying.
It was not like mutton soup, which had both meat slices and broth, and tasted so good.
The family took a bowl and each shared a small half bowl of mutton soup. The mutton soup was slightly hot, but it was fresh and refreshing, with a unique fragrance.
Lin Yao puffed up her cheeks to help eat the meat, her snow-white face puffed up and down, like a little hamster stealing something. Gu Shian, who was opposite, suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth. He was afraid that the smile would be too obvious and the little girl would be embarrassed and angry.
Lin Yao didn't care whether Gu Shian smiled or not, she concentrated on eating meat and drinking soup.
Lao Gu's family had a full meal tonight.
Lin Yao chattered and took Gu Chunmei to the wealthy aunt's house to see the little rabbit, but Gu Chunmei was not free. She also wanted to go to Osmanthus Hutong to see Big Touou.
Sister Chunmei was not free, so Lin Yao could only do the next best thing and go see the rabbits with Gu Shi'an.
The little rabbits raised by the rich aunt's family were plump, soft and cute. Lin Yao stared at them eagerly and couldn't bear to leave.
One of the female rabbits had a fat belly, and it looked like she had a baby rabbit.
Lin Yao didn't dare to touch it, so Gu Shi'an reached out and touched it. "It's three or four weeks old. It should be about to give birth. Generally, female rabbits give birth in five or six weeks."
Lin Yao said, "Have you ever raised rabbits?"
She knew so clearly.
Gu Shian smiled, "When I was little, I lived with my grandmother in the countryside and raised rabbits for a while. You like rabbits, so buy one tomorrow and bring it home."
Lin Yao was excited, her porcelain-white face full of longing, "Really? I want a female rabbit, so I can eat it when it gives birth to baby rabbits."
This way, she can eat spicy rabbit meat and steamed rabbit.
Gu Shian, who was about to use bamboo strips to weave a rabbit cage: "..."
*
In the end, Deputy Director Gu finished weaving the rabbit cage in silence.
Gu Shidong was wandering around and making a mess. The brat was touching the bamboo strips and rubbing the mud. His paws were so dirty that they were unbearable to look at.
Lin Yao poured a basin of warm water, took out a piece of soap, and called Gu Shian to come over and wash his hands.
Gu Shidong also wanted to join in the fun.
Lin Yao slapped him, "You little brat, go get some water if you want to wash your hands."
Gu Shidong covered his hands and cried, "Sister-in-law, you are biased!"
Lin Yao: "Yes, I am biased, so what."
After saying that, Lin Yao went to pour water with a basin.
In the past, it was Gu Shian who got her face and feet water, and today she helped to weave a rabbit cage.
She was happy, and the lazy little girl became diligent.
After dinner, Zhang Cuilan sat on the Eight Immortals Chair and soaked her feet, sighing, "Old man, do you think those rumors outside are true or just nonsense? Will our Yunshui County also be affected by the disaster?"
Gu Mancang was silent for a moment, "It's hard to say. In the old society, floods lasted for more than half a year." The couple
looked at each other in silence, and Gu Mancang went out to pour water for foot washing.
Zhang Xiulan wiped her feet with a foot cloth, put on cloth shoes and swatted mosquitoes in the house.
In the small side room next door, Gu Shidong yelled at his brother to move the military books left in the house to the east room.
Zhang Xiulan was stunned for a moment, then she was happy. Oh, when did Anzi and Yaoyao live together?
Comrade Zhang Cuilan was so excited that when Gu Mancang came back, the couple talked together for a long time, and then smiled sweetly at the east wing.
The old Gu family is about to have a baby.
Lin Yao didn't know what the old couple was thinking. She thought that she could buy a female rabbit tomorrow. She took a bath happily, scrubbed the clothes she changed, and went back to the house humming a little song.
She took a bath, and Gu Shian also took a bath.
Lin Yao dried her hair, hugged a small pillow and lay down on the bed, looking at the coarse mosquito net above her head. She was happy that she could rest tonight so that she could have energy to get the marriage certificate and buy rabbits tomorrow.
She didn't expect that someone would pick her up in his arms as soon as he came back, and turned over to press her.
Lin Yao: "!!!"
