Chapter 148 Role Model



Chapter 148: Example

Zhao Lao San has been lustful and lecherous since he was a child. He started to harass girls with words or by stripping them when he was twelve years old.

He was still young at that time. When someone came to his parents’ house, his parents said, “What does he know as a child?” “He didn’t touch you or anything, how can you say he bullied you?” “The road is open, why do you care about him peeing on the side of the road?”

When he was fifteen or sixteen years old and still like this, most girls in the village avoided him.

He got the benefit of the trade, and often appeared in secluded places to harass those lonely, timid, and shy little girls. He didn’t dare to harass any older and more aggressive girls.

It can be said that more than half of the shy and thin-skinned girls in the village have been harassed by him.

Such a scoundrel, but the villagers can't do anything to him, because his mother is even more scoundrel, and he is also a coward. Whenever someone comes to settle accounts with him, he doesn't need to be beaten, but just lies on the ground, as if he is a scoundrel who will not be beaten to death.

This time, he is unlucky and ran into Hou Bo, a little firecracker.

Hou Bo has a bad temper, and because of his grandfather and father's affairs, he was ridiculed and excluded by his classmates at school. He was very angry and fought a lot, but he couldn't beat a group of people alone, so he always suffered losses. Those angers have been suppressed in his heart.

After coming to my grandmother's house, I had a lot of fun, but it was nothing. As a result, he suddenly met Zhao Lao San, wouldn't he explode?

He never thought that I couldn't beat him, he just wanted to beat him down. Who knew Zhao Laosan's weakness? He was beaten severely by him.

Zhao Laosan had to bear the double anger of Hou Bo.

Many people in the village applauded.

We can't deal with you, a rogue, but someone can deal with you, right? The one

who beat you was a child, only ten years old, younger than you were when you were young. You can't blame him, right?

The team also tried to smooth things over. Not only did they not criticize Hou Bo for not letting the Lin family compensate the Zhao family, they also said that Zhao Laosan was pretending. How could a child beat you up no matter how angry he was?

He is just a child, how much strength can he have?

Stop pretending.

So it was useless for Zhao Laosan's mother to cry and make a fuss.

Lin Shu didn't care about Zhao Laosan. She was worried about Hou Bo.

When she was at the Hou family before, she felt that this child was a bit...out of control when angry.

Later, after understanding the original plot related to the Hou family, she

As she integrated deeper and deeper into this world, she cared more and more about her relatives, and they would trigger her original plot related.

Hou Bo is a good child, not afraid of power and full of justice, but he has a big character flaw.

He usually has no problems. When he has conflicts with other children, he is also very reasonable. He is also very tolerant and protective of the weak, and never bullies the weak. However, when he encounters oppression from evil forces or obvious unfair treatment, he will lose control because of extreme anger.

This means that he will not bully others casually, but it hides a big hidden danger.

In the world of the original book, he and his parents went to the farm with his grandpa.

The adults, including Hou's mother and elder sister Lin, were busy with farm work. Even in winter, they had to repair canals, apply fertilizer, and clear silt. They had no free time and no energy or time to take care of children.

Hou Bo took his younger brother and sister to study at the farm school.

At that time, there was a little bully on the farm. He was two years older than him. He relied on his family's influence to make trouble all day long. The younger one forcibly cut off the little girl's braid and shaved her head. The older one set fire to the thatched house because he couldn't stand it.

The little bully targeted Hou Ying and wanted to cut her braid. When she refused, he had someone hold her braid down and burn it!

Hou Ying cried very sadly, but she knew she had no choice but to endure it.

Hou Bo couldn't stand it, he ambushed for several days, and finally beat up the little bully one night.

Although there was no evidence, the little bully believed that it was him, and he kept looking for people to pick on the three of them.

Later, the little bully dragged little Hou Wei away, saying that he would take him to play games and skate, but deliberately pushed him into the ice hole.

Hou Bo couldn't beat those kids, so he caught the little bully and beat him up, biting his face.

Finally, adults came, and little Hou Wei was not pushed into the ice hole.

This incident was too big, and Xiao Ba Wang's family didn't want to let him go. No matter how much Hou Deming and others apologized, they refused to let him go. Fortunately, a military chief came here for an inspection. After knowing about it, he dismissed Xiao Ba Wang's parents and replaced them with more upright and responsible people.

But Xiao Ba Wang's father didn't want to let Hou Bo go.

He knew that Hou Bo was an upright and impulsive person, and later deliberately set up a trap to let a few hooligans bully Hou Ying.

Hou Bo killed a hooligan in anger.

He was only thirteen years old at the time. He lost his mind in anger, and new and old hatreds surged in his heart. He wanted to kill Xiao Ba Wang's family, but was beaten to death by Xiao Ba Wang's father who had been prepared for it.

Because of this incident, Sister Lin was severely traumatized and became a little abnormal afterwards. Hou Deming also had a serious illness and did not survive until the day of his vindication.

If Hou Bo could have endured or thought of other ways to avoid the little bully, then their family could have survived until the day of Hou Deming's vindication.

Now, because Lu Shaotang helped the Hou family avoid the original tragic fate, if Hou Bo's character flaws are not corrected and guided, he will still go to extremes when he encounters something that makes him extremely angry in the future.

Even if he didn't encounter it, who can guarantee that there is no vicious setup?

How many people today set up schemes to collude with the demolition households and the rich second generation who are involved in pornography, gambling and drugs?

There are too many evil people in this world and it is hard to guard against them.

Lin Shu likes her elder sister's family and the children very much. She can't let Hou Bo be set up again.

She wanted to take Hou Bo and the others to the Lu family.

When she was in Qizhou, she discovered that the child admired Lu Shaotang a little bit. Every time he saw Lu Shaotang, his eyes lit up and he almost stuck to his third uncle.

Who wouldn't admire a boy like him who was tall and mighty as a soldier?

Especially since Lu Shaotang was tall, handsome, and had an outstanding temperament, and he saved the Hou family from crisis, which made Hou Bo put on a filter.

Look, the children's eyes are full of stars now.

Lin Shu smiled and told Lin's mother to let the children live with her.

Lin's mother was worried that she was too tired to take care of several children by herself, "Can you sleep there?"

Lin Shu: "Yes, I'm also thinking about discussing with my parents-in-law to build two more tiled houses."

Mother Lin: "If you are going to build a house, tell them in advance and let your father and Lin Yue go to help. Your uncle is also good at building houses."

Lin Shu agreed and asked the children to get in the car.

Mother Lin: "Why don't Hou Wei come with me?"

The child may not be used to the new place and even wet the bed at night.

Lin Shu said it was okay. Little Hou Wei was only one year younger than the two children. He would adapt quickly with his brothers and sisters. There was no need to treat him specially.

After the brothers and sisters got in the car, Baoer stood below and looked up. As he looked, his big eyes were filled with tears and his little mouth was swollen.

As soon as the jeep started, he burst into tears.

"Brother, sister..."

He was so happy to have so many brothers and sisters playing with him these days. Now that they are gone, he feels lost as a little child.

Tiantian and Panpan, who originally liked to play with him, naturally forgot about Hou Bo and the other two who were more fun to play with. They left without any regrets.

Mother Lin quickly picked him up and said, "Grandma will take you to your third aunt's house in two days."

Baoer then agreed reluctantly while rubbing his neck against Mother Lin's.

It was too far to walk, and it was not enough to drive this short distance. The children arrived home in just a few bumps.

In order to prevent Hou Bo and the other two from being shy and restrained, Lin Shu asked Panpan and Tiantian to take them home and introduce them to each other.

With these two kids, there would be no dull moments, and Hou Bo and the other two would definitely not feel left out.

The gate was too narrow for the jeep to enter, so it had to park on the side of the road. Lu Shaotang parked as close to the wall as possible.

Lin Shu: "Why don't you take Hou Bo to exercise together tomorrow morning? You can teach him how to box

when you have time?" Lu Shaotang looked at her and said, "He's still young."

He's only ten years old, his skeleton hasn't grown yet, and he's still soft.

Lin Shu looked into the yard so that the children wouldn't hear, and went up to him and whispered, "He's a careful person. Look how cruel he is."

This cruel is not a derogatory word, but a statement of fact. People can't just be cruel, they also have to learn to judge the situation and learn to make light of heavy things.

For example, Lu Shaotang is very strong and powerful, but he knows how to control his strength. He knows how to hit people without hurting them, and knows when to hurt them and when not to.

She hopes Hou Bo can learn this slowly, and not let his emotions soar to an extreme state all of a sudden.

Lu Shaotang was a troublemaker when he was a child, and he admired Hou Bo very much. However, he was very different from Hou Bo when he was a child. He felt that people did not need to be ruthless in words. Once they were ruthless to the other party, they had to be fully prepared, hit the target with one blow, and leave no handle.

He reached out his big hand and held Lin Shu's soft hand, pulling her into his arms, "Don't worry about that. In two years, when he is old enough, send him to the army to train, and all his problems will be cured."

Many gifted children are originally arrogant, but after being sent to other places, they find that there are capable people around them, and after a period of adjustment, they will learn to be humble.

Lin Shu smiled at him, her voice soft and coquettish, "That's great! I don't have to worry about it. I'm really afraid that this child is impulsive and can't control himself, and will be more irritable when he grows up. What if something happens? His mother will be heartbroken."

Her voice was soft at the end, and her beautiful eyes were moist, especially bright and charming in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lu Shaotang was distracted and wanted to kiss, so he pulled his wife to hide behind the haystack.

Lin Shu exclaimed, saying that they were busy, what was wrong with this person?

After a while, Lin Shu looked around, pretended nothing happened, walked out of the haystack and went home.

The two sons had already led Hou Bo and others to greet the family. Except for the eldest brother Lu who was not at home, they all knew the others.

Lin Shu made dinner when she saw that it was almost time. Lu

Shaotang came in later, took a vegetable basket and handed it to Hou Bo, asking him to take his brothers and sisters to pick vegetables.

He carried water to water the vegetables.

The vegetable garden requires a lot of water, especially when it is hot and dry, it needs to be watered every other day.

Hou Bo originally thought that his third uncle looked very cold and dignified, and he hardly dared to talk to him. But now that he saw his third uncle actively asking him to do some work, he was immediately overjoyed, as if he had won some kind of award.

Seeing the child's eyes sparkling, Lin Shu felt that she had made the right choice.

Hou Bo immediately rushed to the vegetable garden and started picking vegetables.

He and Hou Ying had never done farm work before, and Lin's mother naturally didn't want them to do any work during the few days they were at Lin's house, so he didn't know how to pick vegetables.

Panpan and Tiantian were afraid that their elder brother had destroyed their mother's vegetable garden. They ran over barefoot and said, "Let's help."

The two children muttered, "Pick the big ones, not old. The old ones can be kept for seeds."

They picked pumpkins, loofahs, gourds, cucumbers, tomatoes, lentils...

"Oh, there are also big purple eggplants and green and red peppers!"

Hou Bo learned how to pick vegetables after being told and sung by the two children.

As a boy, he was not afraid of cabbage worms. He helped catch insects and pull weeds. When he saw a tilted vegetable rack, he carefully straightened it and tied it up.

Little Hou Wei was even more curious about the fish pond. He put his white and tender feet into the water, and fish actually came to bite his feet!

Wow, it’s so fun in the countryside!

After picking the vegetables, Hou Bo used a shovel to help Lu Shaotang prune the vegetable patch.

If the vegetable patch is well cultivated, water will not flow everywhere.

Seeing that he was serious about his work, Lu Shaotang humbly learned even though he didn’t know how to do it. He brought the stale human urine from the corner of the toilet and asked Hou Bo to use a long-handled wooden spoon to sprinkle the feces on the vegetables.

He didn’t teach Hou Bo how to do it.

Facts proved that Hou Bo was a smart child. He diluted the liquid fertilizer carefully and cautiously. Tiantian said that after diluting with water, the urine would not be so strong and would not burn the seedlings.

He poured the fertilizer on the roots of the plants, being careful not to splash on the leaves and fruits.

After all, these are what they are going to pick and eat!

Panpan praised him in a low voice: "Brother Bo, you are so awesome!" He is

better than brother Lu An. The second brother is a mess and gets all over the dishes. How can we eat them?

In the eyes of Panpan and Tiantian, Hou Bo is the same age as Lu An and Lu Cuicui, but Hou Bo is a city kid who has never worked. Although he is not good at it, he is diligent and eager to learn. As soon as he arrived, he helped his mother pick vegetables and worked very carefully.

Compared to this, brother Lu An and sister Cuicui seem a little lazy.

Lu An used to do some work with Lu Ping, but later Lu Ping was busy with bookkeeping. Apart from the wheat harvest and working with teachers and students, Lu An and Lu Cuicui started running around when they were free, and did almost nothing at home.

Well, Lu Cuicui even helped her cousin with some work.

The two kids have learned to compare.

Because of the comparison in their hearts, they subconsciously want to be good friends with Hou Bo.

At night, the children go to sleep with Fang Dihua and old man Lu.

The elderly love children, and they feel much younger when they have children around.

Lu Shaotang got up early the next morning to exercise.

It was different in the countryside than in the military camp. In the military camp, they had to do drills every day, mostly running. Here, if he went out for a run early in the morning, half of the villagers would come out to watch the excitement.

They were really bored and curious. Usually, they would be excited when someone from another village came. How could they not watch a handsome guy running in the village? They

would even comment on him while watching.

"Look at Shaotang, he's really strong, look at his muscular body."

"It's obvious that the troops have good food, how come he's so tall? He eats well and doesn't work, so he runs around for nothing."

"Why doesn't this guy know how to enjoy life? He finally gets home, but he doesn't know that he has a wife and children, hehe."

In order to avoid listening to these gossips, Lu Shaotang went to the woods behind.

Today is the same as usual.

Hou Bo heard the noise and got up, and started to put on his clothes swiftly.

Lu Ping in the east room also got up. He likes to exercise with his uncle. His name is Lu An. The boy was sleeping all over and refused to get up.

Lu Ping was a little afraid of Lu Shaotang before, but later he found that his uncle just had a scary aura, spoke softly, and never criticized them.

After dawn, when Lin Shu got up to cook, Lu Xiuxiu took the initiative to come over to help her.

Since a girl was willing to learn how to cook, Lin Shu naturally would not refuse.

Lu Xiuxiu is not a fast learner, but she learns well, whether it is making clothes or making pancakes.

The main thing is that this child is diligent, has a job in mind, is willing to listen to the elders, and knows how to be grateful. If you are good to her, she will always want to give something in return, and she will definitely not think that others should be good to her.

In the original plot, she was manipulated because she listened to the elders, but now she is getting better and better because of listening to the elders.

While cutting salted vegetables, Lu Xiuxiu smiled at Lin Shu and said, "Auntie, I'll make a skirt for you too."

Lin Shu: "You guys do it first, I'll talk about it next year."

She estimated that she would go to the city more often next year. It was not so convenient to wear a skirt to work in the countryside. Cooking and making food all day long would make a lot of dust.

When the meal was ready, Lu's second sister-in-law came over and started to scold Lu Cuicui again, "Why are you so lazy? Don't you know to get up early to help your auntie cook?"

While scolding Lu Cuicui, she praised Lu Xiuxiu, "Look at your sister, she is beautiful, skillful and hardworking, and now she can make money."

She knew that Lu Xiuxiu and Lin Shu would split the money she earned from making clothes in half, and Fang Dihua didn't want their share, so she was jealous.

Lu Xiuxiu tried to smooth things over, "Auntie, Cuicui is still young. I don't know anything at my age."

Lu's second wife was still not satisfied and insisted that Lu Cuicui learn to cook and make clothes.

Lu Cuicui pouted, "I'm still in school."

There is no summer vacation in the countryside. After the wheat harvest, they go back to school and wait until the autumn harvest for the autumn vacation.

Lu's second wife: "Why do you still need to go to school as a girl? Those who go to school in the city have to go to the countryside to farm. Where do you want to go to the countryside when you are in the countryside? You are ten years old and you can recognize most of the words, so don't go."

The villagers basically have this attitude. When children are young and can't do work, they go to school for two years. After they are ten years old, girls can stay at home to look after children, cook and do housework, and boys can go to the fields to earn work points.

Anyway, several children in the brigade who are over ten years old don’t go to school now.

Song Chunfang’s daughter also went home. Now she cooks at home. She told Lu Ersao that there is no need for Cuicui to continue studying.

Lu Ersao thought that if she let the daughter help Lin Shu cook in the future, everyone can eat together even if she cheats, right?

We can’t just let Lin Shu cheat, right?

Old man Lu, who was picking mint outside, heard it and quietly signaled to the old woman.

Soon Fang Dihua strode over and said to Lu Ersao: "You worry about useless things every day. Is there a shortage of people to cook at home now? She is like a bean sprout, what can she cook? It won’t be too late in two years."

The family conditions are not good, and the children suffer. Now that she makes money by making incense at home and has enough food and drink, why let the children suffer?

According to Fang Dihua, the children can play until they are eleven or twelve years old even if they don't go to school, and then learn to work from adults.

If they are willing to go to school, they can continue to go, and if they are not willing, they will not be forced.

Of course, she is partial to the children of the first and second wives. For example, if Lu Ping is still interested in studying, he will continue to go to school. If Lu An doesn't like to study, then he can stop studying. But Panpan and Tiantian are different. These two children must go to school.

In her and Lu's father's mind, these two children must study better than Lu Shaotang, and when they grow up, Lu Shaotang must arrange them to join the army.

Then the two babies must not be allowed to work on the farm or make incense, which are both physically demanding jobs. Didn’t you see that the third daughter-in-law taught them not to work anymore? Working is always tiring.

Lu Ersao was angry but she had no say in this family.

At this time, Hou Bo and Lu Ping came back, sweating profusely, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

Fang Dihua was attracted by their attention, but she didn’t bother to pay attention to Lu Ersao, “Did you go swimming so early in the morning?”

Her hair was wet, but her clothes were not soaked.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Grandma, Third Uncle taught us how to climb trees, it was so much fun.”

It can be seen from Hou Bo’s unusually bright eyes that they had a great time today.

Thanks to their family's full stomach, otherwise

how miserable would it be for the two children to climb trees on an empty stomach early in the morning?

Lin Shu quickly took out the pancake rolls and eggs for them to eat.

Panpan and the others also got up and came over to chatter and ask what they were doing, "Why didn't you invite us to join?"

"Oh, it's so fun, why didn't you invite us?"

Lin Shu led Hou Wei to wash his face and said with a smile: "They went out before dawn, how can you wake up? Also, brothers, go climb trees, can you climb? It's not that we don't have trees at home, just go climb."

So Lu Shaotang came back and saw a few little kids climbing trees in the west, and they couldn't even climb above their calves.

He curled his lips. When he was young, he thought the chattering of children was annoying, but now he thinks... this is life.

If Lin Shu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely laugh at him. Brother Lu, you are only 25 years old, you are in your prime, and you have the nerve to talk about your youth. Do you think 15 is young?

How miserable you are.

After breakfast, everyone in the family went to work. Lin Shu took Fang Dihua to discuss building two more rooms.

Now the house is very full, and it is not convenient to arrange for guests. It is better to build two more rooms as guest rooms, one for men and one for women, so that the family members don’t have to sleep in different rooms.

Making sanitary incense at home costs a lot of money. You don’t need to collect materials yourself, you can just buy them from others. If you have money, you are not afraid of spending money. Things that can be solved with money don’t need to be spent on your own time and effort.

If it was put off until later, Fang Dihua would definitely not be happy, because if the public money was not enough, Lu Shaotang’s salary would have to be spent. San’er was working hard outside, and the family would definitely not spend his money to build a house and enjoy themselves.

Now, no matter what Lin Shu said, Fang Dihua agreed.

However, Jiang Weidong and Big Brother Lu have received many orders. She and Second Brother Lu are busy and can't go out to buy bricks, tiles, wood, etc., so Lin Shu has to make arrangements.

Lu Shaotang can help, but he doesn't have free time. He has to go to Qizhou after staying at home for two days. It seems that he will go on a business trip to a neighboring province this month. It is estimated that he will come back in ten days or half a month.

Then we have to ask Sister Lu for help.

Sister Lu and her friends are free after plowing the land and planting corn.

The commune selected a few young people to drive tractors for transportation. The city and the county are all engaged in construction at this time, and there are also odd jobs such as hauling mud, sand, coal, etc. They run transportation in the name of the commune. After deducting the fuel and usage fees, the commune and the agricultural machine operators split the money 60% and 40%.

Lin Yue was chosen.

The job was too tiring and required sleeping outdoors, so Brother Lu didn't want Sister Lu to go, so she went back to the production team to join the labor.

At this time, the farm work in the production team was not heavy, mainly weeding the land, catching insects, fertilizing, tending cotton, etc. It was easy for Sister Lu to take leave.

Lin Shu asked her to accompany her to buy.

After hearing what Lin Shu said, Sister Lu pushed out the car on the spot to take her out.

Lin Shu hurriedly held her back, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll make a list."

Sister Lu smiled and said, "My sister-in-law does things differently. I don't see them making lists when they farm in our production team."

Lin Shu: "This way you can see it clearly at a glance."

The amount of bricks, adobes, wood, sorghum stalks, chimneys, mud, and cement must be estimated.

The two rooms that had just been built had similar amounts of materials, but these two rooms needed to have kangs, so they had to buy more adobe and bricks.

Lin Shu and Lu Dasao went to the commune kiln factory, and arranged for Lu Shaotang to go to the nearby brigade to help contact wood, sorghum stalks, etc., even if they were a little more expensive, as long as they were roughly the same.

This time, Lin Shu didn't need to ask her elder sister-in-law and father-in-law for help, because the wife of the kiln factory director had come to her to make skirts for her daughter.

She had her own network of contacts!

Besides, she was an advanced individual and the most beautiful military wife commended by the city, so it was no problem for her to buy bricks and tiles.

Lu Dasao tied a basket of fruits on the side of the car seat, including green apples and ducks, and the peaches had been eaten.

When the wife of the kiln heard that Lin Shu was coming to buy bricks and tiles, she immediately decided to give the bricks and tiles from two kilns that belonged to a few distant relatives from her mother's family to Lin Shu first. They were already stuck in the kiln and would only take three or four days to be ready.

"Sister, you don't have to pull them yourself when the time comes. I'll have the commune's tractor deliver them to you." She said as she warmly pulled Lin Shu into the house to drink tea.

Lin Shu hurriedly told her not to bother.

Sister Lu helped put the fruit down.

The kiln factory wife laughed and said, "Oh, you came to buy tiles and paid for them, and you brought me things. How embarrassing."

Lin Shu: "The tiles are from the kiln factory, and the fruits are because of our sisterly friendship. Didn't my sister-in-law ask me to make her clothes?"

She took out a few hair ornaments from her schoolbag. They were made by Lu Xiuxiu when she was free with scraps of cloth and a little lace. They were fresh and unique, and the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have them.

Lin Shu knew that the kiln factory wife had two girls at home. They were coquettish and wanted to be beautiful, so she brought two pairs.

The kiln factory wife was even happier. She was not only happy to get things, but also felt that Lin Shu, such a beautiful and prestigious military wife, actually valued her so much. She was very proud.

Before leaving, she packed two bags of snacks for Lin Shu to take back for the elderly and children. Lin Shu couldn't refuse and took them.

She directed Mrs. Lu to go to the carpenter's house in the commune. Fang Dihua said that Carpenter Fan's craftsmanship was better.

She had to make an appointment and ask him to make doors and windows, and also make two kang cabinets, kang tables and other things.

There were children in this family, so Lin Shu gave a few candies and Carpenter Fan happily agreed.

There was less work recently, so he also went to the production team in the commune to work in the fields to earn some work points as a subsidy. After all, it was not as profitable as doing carpentry work. Of course, he was happy that someone came to find him.

It was almost noon, so Lin Shu and Mrs. Lu went home.

They were walking along the river bank toward home, when Sister-in-law Lu suddenly braked and Lin Shu bumped into her back, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Sister-in-law Lu's face darkened even more, and she turned to look at the river, "Is that his uncle-in-law?"

Lin Shu turned her head and looked over, and saw Xu Shihua chatting and laughing with a young woman in a white dress by the river. Sister-in-

law Lu wanted to go over to question them, but was stopped by Lin Shu.

Lin Shu looked as if it was none of her business, "Sister-in-law, maybe Hehuan doesn't mind."

Anyway, her point was that Lu Hehuan and Xu Xiaoyou would not be tortured by Xu's mother and go hungry, and she would not interfere in other people's husband and wife affairs.

Who knows if we are part of their husband and wife play.


Recommendation
