Chapter 54: Scared Him to Death

Lin Shu was busy at home, and when it was almost time to cook, she went to cook.

I can make millet pancakes for lunch today. I added a little soybean flour to make the pancakes more chewy and fragrant.

The three children came back from outside.

Panpan was sweating all over, "Mom, I'm so hungry."

Tiantian: "Oh, you're going to become a little pig, you can cook so much."

Xu Xiaoyou followed behind them, quietly. Although she was a few months older than the two children, she was about the same height, and her skinny body made her look even smaller. But she was very sensible and played the role of the big sister, protecting her younger brothers and sisters from behind.

As soon as she got home, Xu Xiaoyou took the initiative to sit next to Lin Shu to heat the griddle.

Lin Shu was surprised and asked, "Xiaoyou, can you light a griddle?"

Lighting a griddle is a technical job that requires patience, and many adults can't do it well.

A griddle is a round pan-shaped cast iron with an inverse arc, with three short legs at the bottom, which can be placed on bricks, and firewood is placed under the griddle.

Because it is inconvenient to operate, many people either burn the pancakes when the fire is too big or the pancakes are too dry when the fire is too small.

Anyway, Lu Dasao and Fang Dihua can't do this job. Every time they light the griddle for Lin Shu, they burn a few pancakes, and they can't be snatched away.

Later, Lin Shu would rather light the griddle and make pancakes herself than ask them to light the griddle.

Old Man Lu and Lin Aidi cooked very well.

She didn't expect Xu Xiaoyou to cook so well.

Panpan, who was gulping down chrysanthemum water, heard it and looked at Xu Xiaoyou curiously.

Mother praised her!

Is she that good?

Does she want to snatch their mother from them?

Absolutely not!

Panpan immediately pulled Tiantian to sit next to Lin Shu, and also wanted to help her mother.

Lin Shu thought they also wanted to play with dough, so she didn't refuse. She asked them to wash their hands and gave each of them a dough to roll small pancakes on the griddle.

Panpan: "I'll heat the griddle!"

He is a little man, he can't be worse than a girl, let alone worse than Xu Xiaoyou.

He won't give Xu Xiaoyou the chance to snatch his mother!

Xu Xiaoyou whispered, "Panpan, the griddle is very hot. It will hurt if you get burned, and it will cause blisters."

She made room for Panpan and asked him to sit next to her so that she could teach him how to heat the griddle and protect him in time so that he would not get burned.

Before, she heated the griddle for her grandmother and her grandmother heated the hot pot for her brother. But her brother was greedy and wanted to snatch the hot poker from her. He accidentally touched the griddle with his finger and got a blisters.

Her grandmother hit her with the hot poker on the spot.

Seeing her brother get burned like that, she felt very distressed. She didn't want Panpan to get burned too.

Panpan: "Don't worry, I won't get burned. I'm sure I can cook it well."

He picked up the wooden sword for flipping the pan and felt like a warrior.

This wooden sword is actually a thin three-foot-long wooden spatula used to flip pancakes.

Lin Shu taught Tiantian how to keep a safe distance from the griddle and how to roll the small dough on the griddle. When

a child takes a small dough, he only needs to roll it a little in front of his eyes, and a palm-sized pancake will come out.

"Wow!" Tiantian was very happy and picked up the pancake with the wooden sword.

She quickly rolled a few more and then began to share them. Xu Xiaoyou was a guest, so he got one, his brother was a child, so he got one, and she and her mother also got one.

She also helped to roll the vegetables in, and her service was very good.

Lin Shu was enjoying the food being fed by her daughter. Fang Dihua came back from outside and saw the three children in front of the griddle. She was a little worried, "You three, stay away from the griddle and go play over there."

Panpan: "Grandma, we are helping mommy cook!"

Tiantian deftly rolled another pancake for grandma, rolled it with Chinese toon sprouts and pickled vegetables, and fed it to Fang Dihua's mouth.

Fang Dihua was too tall for her to reach, and she was so anxious that she choked.

Fang Dihua had to squat down and eat it, "Well, it's as delicious as your mother's."

The children were very proud.

Fang Dihua waited until the evening to get off work and didn't go home, but went to the commune first.

Lin Shu gave her the things she had prepared and whispered a few words.

Fang Dihua wondered, "What are you doing?"

Lin Shu: "Mom, the teacher said in class that rural credit cooperatives lack effective supervision and are prone to corruption. We need to supervise them quietly."

Oh, this was too technical, Fang Dihua didn't understand it at all.

She nodded: "Okay."

She first brought food to the old man, then to other family members, and continued to work in the afternoon.

Looking at the sun, she asked for leave from the team leader, and asked Lu Ersao to take the small basket and soup pot for food home, and she walked to the commune.

Lu Ersao asked her what she was doing, but Fang Dihua had already walked away.

Song Chunfang: "Hey, there is no mother-in-law in the world who is not partial."

Lu Ersao bit her lip, snorted, and continued to work.

Fang Dihua went straight to the commune and went directly to the credit union.

These days, there are not many people coming to the rural credit union to deposit money, and even fewer people coming to take out loans. The people inside are very idle.

Usually, they are lazy and don't pay attention to ordinary people who come in. Even if the cadres from the brigades come, don't expect them to show a good face.

But Fang Dihua is different. They dare not offend her and are a little afraid of her.

They ignored her when she came for the first time.

She was still young at that time, but she was wearing shabby clothes, and there was sand and grass on her hair. She looked very shabby.

No one paid attention to her at that time, and even a young man rolled his eyes and told the old lady to go play somewhere else.

Fang Dihua was furious and started to scold at the top of her voice, "You are such a snob. I know this is a credit union. I am here to deposit money, not to beg. Besides, this credit union is jointly opened by us farmers. We support you. Why are you sitting here enjoying your leisure time and looking down on others with such snobbish eyes?"

Who wouldn't be afraid when she yelled loudly?

Soon the president was called out and the young men were scolded.

After knowing that Fang Dihua's son was a member of the People's Liberation Army, he was busy opening an account for her and opening a passbook.

Fang Dihua deposited two yuan the first time, and the young man who was scolded by her was very disdainful: a poor peasant, what's so arrogant?

As a result, Fang Dihua always came afterwards, sometimes every month, sometimes every few months.

After ten years, there were two thousand in the passbook!

Who dared to look down on her?

Now, except for the production teams and brigades who have money to deposit in the credit union, who has spare money to deposit it?

Besides, it is not bad for a production team to save two thousand.

Of course, not everyone knows how much money is in her savings account. Only the staff member she deposited the money into, the accountant of the credit union, and the leaders know.

Fang Dihua always goes to the female counter clerk with two pigtails to deposit money, because she was the only one who didn't laugh at her that day.

Now the female counter clerk has become a mother, and her pigtails have been changed into neat short hair, wearing a black headband, which makes her very capable. Why

is she not here today?

Fang Dihua looked over and asked, "Is Yan Zi not here?"

"Auntie is here!" Zhai Xiaoyan came out of the office and came over to greet her warmly, "Auntie, are you saving money?"

Fang Dihua glanced at the others and whispered, "Not saving money, I want to withdraw all my money, can I withdraw it today?"

Zhai Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, what's wrong, what happened at home that requires so much money?"

They all knew that Lu Shaotang, the most handsome man in the area, had died.

Although Lu Shaotang had been at home for a short time, he was too famous, both for his childhood behavior and his handsome appearance, especially after he joined the army and earned a lot of money, his mother often went to the credit union to save money, and everyone knew about it and envied him.

She felt sorry for Fang Dihua.

She was afraid that Fang Dihua was forced by her other sons to give Lu Shaotang's money to them so that they would support her in her old age.

Fang Dihua: "No, I want to deposit it in the county bank."

Zhai Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "The interest rate of the county bank is indeed a little higher than ours, but Auntie, if you deposit it in the county, it will be very troublesome to withdraw and deposit money. Our credit union is more convenient. Besides, this credit union is our own unit, and it is friendly and reliable to use."

Fang Dihua: "It's good, but I want to deposit it in the county bank."

Well, the main thing is to be indifferent.

Zhai Xiaoyan stopped persuading her.

But at this time, the credit union really couldn't give her all 2,000 yuan immediately, it had to be approved.

She filled out the form and handed it to the vice president and then to the accountant. It was estimated that it would be ready in three days, so Fang Dihua could pick it up then.

At this time, Vice President Song Youliang came over, and with him was Accountant Zuo. The two were talking and laughing.

When they saw Fang Dihua, the smiles on their faces froze.

Even after so many years, they still remembered how Fang Dihua scolded them that afternoon.

Fang Dihua glanced at them and ignored them.

The two wanted to force a smile and greet her, but when they found that she ignored them, they had to move on awkwardly.

Fang Dihua thought, the third daughter-in-law was right, the credit union was not reliable.

These two looked like they didn't want to have fun.

At first, she was worried as she was saving. If they knew about this much money in a passbook, wouldn’t they be jealous and have evil intentions?

Later, when she received the remittance, she put some money into the passbook and hid most of it at home. As

time went by, she would exchange the old money and change for big reunions whenever she had time, and try to get new ones.

As a result, there were still more than 3,000 in the envelope of the wooden box.

After Fang Dihua left, Zhai Xiaoyan went to find Accountant Zhuo to ask how many days it would take to approve the withdrawal form.

Accountant Zhuo took a look and his face changed: "She wants to take it all out?" Zhai Xiaoyan

: "Yes."

Accountant Zhuo: "That won't work."

Zhai Xiaoyan: "Accountant Zhuo, this is Aunt Fang's money, she can take it if she wants."

Is it any use if you say it's not possible?

Accountant Zhuo was a little anxious. He and Song Youliang had just quietly raised some small amounts of money, and now there was no money in the account for Fang Dihua to withdraw.

As for the other money, wasn't it withdrawn by the brigade to buy pesticides and fertilizers?

The autumn grain had not come down, and the brigade had no surplus grain to sell, so naturally there was no money to save.

And there was other money... they lent it out.

There were people who had bad credit and couldn't borrow money, and they promised to give them some kickbacks, and he and Song Youliang...

Of course, that money was not borrowed from ordinary people, but from people with backgrounds and backgrounds in the city. They had ways to get money and said they would pay it back in a few days.

Accountant Zhuo was anxious all of a sudden, and immediately went to Song Youliang to discuss countermeasures.

Song Youliang had never thought that the old lady who never took money suddenly wanted to take money, and took it all out?

Did she...know something?

Accountant Zhuo: "No, she is an old woman from the countryside, what does she know?"

Song Youliang: "Isn't her son a soldier in the capital? He has been a high-ranking officer for so many years, otherwise how could he receive so many salary allowances? He must know a lot of people?"

Accountant Zhuo: "At most, it's only fifty at a time. This official is not that high. Besides, he is dead."

Song Youliang pondered: "First, ask the brigade to get some deposits to make up for her."

Accountant Zhuo: "No, I asked a few days ago."

That was useless. Song Youliang said that they could only think of a way and must not let the president know.

This money is almost the same as the kickbacks they took.

Accountant Zhuo was also very distressed. How easy is it to make some money? He wanted to follow the man in the market to invest and make money.

That man had a way to get approval and high-quality steel.

The two of them talked and discussed for a while. Accountant Zhuo came out and just walked to the counter when he found a ball of paper on the ground.

"Who is throwing paper around!" He scolded in an official tone, then pretended to speak hygienically and picked it up. He opened it with his clumsy hands, and found some beautiful charcoal words written on it.

[I'm always watching you.]

[You can't run away.]

[The law is strict and there is no loophole.]

Accountant Zuo was immediately startled, his hands trembled, and he immediately threw the paper ball into the metal trash can next to him.

Don't be surprised, don't be surprised.

It's definitely not about him.

He returned to his seat and found another similar paper ball under the table!

Who did it!

He bent down, picked up the paper ball, and turned his head to observe the reactions of the counter clerks through the gap between the tables, so as to judge who was playing a prank on him or was really staring at him. He

stood up slowly. No one else seemed to be acting strangely.

Soon someone asked him to sign and stamp.

He began to observe everyone's handwriting, and it seemed that none of them looked the same as the charcoal writing.

He couldn't help but guess: that charcoal writing is so beautiful, it's obvious that someone has studied calligraphy and art, and that kind of pen is clearly a charcoal pencil used by painters.

Who in the credit union can draw? Who draws with charcoal?

Lao Luo? Doesn't he paint in ink?

At this time, Zhai Xiaoyan smiled and said to Lao Luo: "Brother Luo, your paintings are becoming more and more vivid and charming. You can go to the city to participate in the exhibition and competition."

Lao Luo smiled and said: "It's just so-so. I went to the city a while ago to learn Western painting techniques and sketch with charcoal pencils."

Accountant Zhuo: "!!!!"

He immediately ran to find Song Youliang again.

After discussing for a while, Accountant Zhuo planned to ride his bike to the post office to send a telegram to the city's loan borrower. It was not safe to make a phone call at the credit union because people would overhear.

As a result, when he went to ride his bike, he found a paper ball thrown next to a bicycle!

Although the paper ball was not next to his bike, who knew if it was left here and was blown away by the wind?

He looked around nervously, and when he saw no one was paying attention, he immediately bent down and picked it up, then hid in the carport and secretly opened it to have a look.

Sure enough, there were similar words on it,

[I will keep a close eye on you!]

[If you don't want others to know, then don't do it!]

[You can't get away!]

"Bang", Accountant Zuo's hand shook and he pushed the bicycle over, and the paper fell all over the place.

He was so angry.

Fang Dihua didn't know why the third daughter-in-law asked her to do this, but since the third daughter-in-law said it needed to be done, she did it.

How could she not do it according to the instructions of the God Fang?

Of course, she threw those paper balls.

The third daughter-in-law didn't specify who she should throw them to or where, so she let her cast a wide net and throw more.

Paper is the cheapest white paper used to seal windows. It costs one dime a piece. Some people also use it to roll dry cigarettes.

Fang Dihua threw it randomly and then pretended to be indifferent to see who picked it up.

Before, in the credit union, someone picked it up, but he took a look and thought someone had thrown it away as a prank.

Another female comrade picked it up and cursed.

The accountant also picked it up, and his face changed immediately.

Fang Dihua did as Lin Shu said, throwing it inside the credit union, under the table at the counter, and throwing it when no one was paying attention. She also threw a few in the bicycle shed when she came out.

She didn't walk over to throw it. She was strong and knew how to use her ingenuity. She just threw it from a distance.

Anyway, no matter where it falls, someone with a keen eye will pick it up and have a look.

Sure enough, the accountant came out to ride his bicycle, picked up the paper ball next to him, and was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

Fang Dihua knew what was going on, and didn't do anything else. After all, her daughter-in-law said that she just needed to see who it was, and must not do anything else, so as not to alarm the snake.

The third daughter-in-law also knew the idiom "to alarm the snake by striking the grass". If it wasn't Teacher Ma who taught her, then who taught her?

Fang Dihua went home in one breath, and it was time for dinner at home.

She didn't care about anything else and pulled Lin Shu into the house first, whispering a few words.

Lin Shu already knew who it was, and she threw the paper ball to scare them, to make them terrified, suspicious and unable to find who it was.

They will definitely do something besides being afraid, and then they will be exposed and caught by the relevant departments.

She didn't want Fang Dihua to be in danger, so she didn't want this kind of credit.

Fang Dihua also realized it, but instead reminded Lin Shu: "Don't tell anyone about this, and don't mess with the mad dog at the door of the house."

You can't just beat him to death with a stick and not mess with him, lest the mad dog bites people when it gets angry and hurts your family.

This coincided with Lin Shu's intention, so she naturally agreed.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming back from outside, Lu Ersao pulled Lin Shu into the house. The two of them whispered and looked out the window with a wary look on their faces. It was obvious that they were saying bad things about her! They

must be discussing how to deal with her.

It's just a pair of shoes, do you have to be like this?

She deliberately blocked the door, waiting for the two of them to come out and see her.

Second Sister-in-law Lu deliberately smiled in a sinister way, "Mom, what are

you talking about?" Fang Dihua: "Other things have nothing to do with you." After that, she went to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.

Nothing to do with it?

If you say that, doesn't it just prove that it has something to do with me?

Second Sister-in-law Lin was so angry that her nose and mouth corners were really crooked.

Lin Shu reminded her, "Second Sister-in-law, your face is crooked. Is it because of the draft at night? Be careful of facial paralysis?"

Second Sister-in-law Lu was so angry that her chin was crooked, "You——"
