Chapter 14

"What?"

Not only the men in the room were startled, but even Han's sister-in-law, who had always been a Buddhist, was startled. Han's second sister-in-law rushed down barefoot and said, "he has three dadas. What's the matter with him? Why is there no allowance?"

Don't you mean more and more officers? The whole family is counting on him to spend money!

Brother Han: did the third younger brother make a mistake and be chased back by the army?

Old lady Han's cold hair stood up, and the mosquitoes that were buzzing around her had no sound. "Third, what's the matter, you make it clear!"

Han Qingsong: "my son's old injury recurred and he was not competent for the task of the army. He needed to change his job according to the regulations."

"Changing jobs?" Old lady Han jumped up from the Kang and almost fell on the ground in front of the Kang. It was Han Qingsong who held her fast.

Old lady Han grabbed his arm and said, "what can I do if I change my job? Have you been assigned any job, and will you get paid or what? "

The house was noisy, which suppressed elder brother Han's question about the third brother's old injury.

Han Qingsong shook his head: "I don't know yet. I want to listen to the arrangement of the army."

Old lady Han opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say or what to say.

This is more terrible than that 260 yuan was taken away by Lin Lan.

This means that after that, countless 260s flew away.

No, absolutely not!

"Third, is the army forcing you to change your job, or do you really want to change your job?" Old lady Han doesn't understand. She can't sleep all her life.

Han Qingsong doesn't want to say more. After all, it's a stage of internal revolution. The military environment is very complex. He can't see it clearly and he can't control it. It's no good to say it.

He looked at them, "father, mother, it's late, or tomorrow."

If you go on like this, there must be something else to answer a question. You can't finish it all night.

He said hello to the eldest brother and the second brother, and asked everyone to go back to the room to have a rest and talk tomorrow.

When he left, Han Er Ge complained to the old lady.

Han Er Sao was angry: "if we split up, we should have a room to live in. If the men of the third family are not at home, they still occupy the east wing."

There was no room for them to live in the second room and the big room, so they had to live in the west room and sleep on the north and South Kang.

I'm not used to it!

Normally, she should go to live in the East chamber and let the old three live in the west room.

The old lady was too angry to fight one place, and scolded: "all roll roll roll roll, want to separate, tomorrow all roll out together, anyway, your father and I are dead, no one cares."

They all broke up when they knew she was angry.

The old lady leaned on the Kang, ouch, "old man, I'm just like the frozen wax gourd. I'm afraid I'm going to have a stroke. Quick, give me a piece of plaster."

In her feeling, her son is a company commander, but he is a cadre!

Although the Eighth Route Army and the people's Liberation Army were stationed in the area during the Anti Japanese War and the war of liberation, she also met many platoon commanders and company commanders and felt that they had no style.

Although many young people joined the army in the 1950s and 1960s, and even several company commanders and battalion commanders came back from the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, they did not see what happened to them.

But now it's different!

At that time, many people didn't want to be soldiers because they would die in war, and their daughters didn't want to marry soldiers.

Now soldiers are popular!

Soldiers, like workers and organs, have an iron rice bowl!

Xiao Si also said that if he could not get a good job after graduating from high school, he would go to the army to find his third brother.

If Laosan changes his job, what else can he do?

The old lady also knows that many soldiers in the nearby villages have been demobilized and returned home. If the volunteers are demobilized for three years, it is necessary. There is nothing to talk about.

If you want to get some money after being demobilized and find a job by yourself, it's nothing more than taking care of the commune and becoming a militia or a village security director.

Even if small cadres change jobs, there are platoon leaders. At most, they work as company leaders or go to the Public Security Bureau of the commune, the Ministry of national defense, the militia and so on. These old ladies have inquired about it, but they really have no future.

Although the local commune members think that these are all jobs with long face and money, who is Mrs. Han? She is also the old mother of the company commander.

She only felt dizzy in front of her eyes. Originally, she wanted Han Qingsong to make it clear, but he ran away. As a result, she almost choked herself to death.

She didn't want to suffocate herself, so she nagged Lao Han.

Old Han was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He began to hum, and then snored in the old woman's nagging voice.

In his opinion, he used to be able to live in the landlord's house. Now the leader of the party, the red sun, is there anything to worry about?

Han er's sister-in-law took her back to the South Kang in Xijian to murmur.

Brother Han was so sleepy that he had to go to Beikang and sleep with brother Han.

When Han Qingsong returned to his room, the light had already gone out, and the sound of children's breathing came from the Kang.

By the faint light outside, he looked. Lin Lan was sleeping on the side of the Kang with Xiaowang in her arms. Then there were ears of wheat, and then Erwang.

His blanket was placed at the end of the Kang.

According to most people in their village, Kang is the best position, so it is the position of male parents, then women, and then children.

Look, I am rejected.

He stood in front of the Kang. Lin Lan on the Kang was sweating.

It's hot in summer, especially in the East chamber. In order to open the door and ventilate the windows, there are broken grass curtains hanging. Mosquitoes bite people from time to time. It's not human life.

Can't sleep at all!

As a result, Han Qingsong still stood on her head, and the heat rushed to her face. She wondered why he was not a teenager with too much hormone in adolescence, and how he still had so much heat.

Just when she almost couldn't help but want to explain, Han Qingsong had already stepped over to the Kang.

Lin Lan was relieved to sleep at ease.

The next day the rooster crowed.

Lin Lan quickly gets up and finds that Han Qingsong is no longer on the Kang. She is not in a hurry to ask the children to get up. It's time to grow up and let them sleep more.

There are many mosquitoes in the farmhouse. One night, she was bitten two bags on her face and neck, itching very much. She scratched at random, took down the broken grass curtain, let the light shine in, and found that Xiaowang was bitten the most.

She had to ask who had aloe vera, mint grass and so on, get a tree back to keep, let the mosquito bite rub also can relieve itching.

Thanks to the medicinal wine Han Qingsong brought back, her arms and shoulders didn't hurt so much after a night's sleep, otherwise she would be too swollen to lift today.

She moved her arm for a while and felt that there was no problem, but she wanted to ask for leave on the excuse that her arm hurt.

Lin Lan felt that she was so delicate that she couldn't do physical work.

Just a few days ago, at the beginning, she went to the cotton field to get insects, but she didn't give her a diaphragm to die.

The creeping insects made her feel numb and tremble.

Later, I went to hoe. I took a big hoe to dig the ground and hoe. It didn't take long for my back to ache. The big hoe was heavier than a thousand catties! Moreover, after nine o'clock in the summer, the sun is hot, and the whole person has to be dried.

Therefore, either she can find an iron rice bowl with wages, or Han Qingsong can always give her living expenses.

But these days, the cadres in the countryside are not out of work. Even the old Party branch secretaries in the village go down with them, so it's not easy for her to employ them in the face of absolute policies.

Han Qingsong is the only one.

Or could she persuade him not to change his job?

After all, according to the plot in the original book, the reason why han Qingsong changed his job was that the original owner had done too much, and Han Qingsong was disheartened. Coupled with the complicated military environment, he had no intention of official career, and then he decided to change his job and go home.

Mrs. Han was afraid that her daughter-in-law would spend money with the army and not be able to send salary and allowance to her home. The original owner was afraid that he would have a good future. She divorced his wife and climbed the high branch, so she would rather not go with the army and get the man back.

But I'm not the same. I'm not noisy. I support Han Qingsong's work unconditionally.

We need a chance to talk.

Lin Lan went to the patio and was surprised to find that Mrs. Han didn't get up. As usual, she had already knocked the stick and called the family to get up and go down.

When she came out of the toilet, she found two big black circles under her eyes, just like suffering from ten days and a half without sleep. Tut Tut, it's really pitiful.

Han er's sister-in-law has a small cut on her head, which has been wrapped up well, but she is surprised to make a mummy with a big handkerchief, and she is not afraid of heat. She is humming there, "Oh, it's so painful that she can't go to work."

"Mother, how did you come out?" Erwang didn't know when he got up. He ran out to support Lin Lan. "Niang, you can't move your arm, so take a good rest and don't go to work. My father is back! "

Dad didn't listen to her mother, which made Erwang very proud. He was about to show his father back.

Those who laugh at their parents and don't want them, hum, have a good look!

Han Er Sao curled her lips and went back to the room to lie down.

Han's sister-in-law is going to cook and ask the children to mow grass to earn work points.

Children as big as Erwang, maisui and Sanwang have to mow grass to earn work points.

Maisui delicate do not want to go, also want to let Linlan help her speak, but Linlan pretended not to know.

Mowing is a light job.

Maisui had to follow the sisters.

At this time, Han Qingsong came back carrying water. He saw Lin Lan sitting on a stone and staring at the broken earthen basin. He poured the water into the water tank and said to Lin Lan, "there are two empty grass rooms in the field. Go and have a look today. If you don't dislike them..."

Lin Lan immediately said: "don't give up!"

It's better to live in a broken house than here.

Han Qingsong didn't expect that she didn't look and didn't pick, so she agreed happily. Originally, she had to spend some time thinking.

Seeing that she agreed, he nodded and handed the glasses to Lin Lan.

"The frame is flat, just round, not broken."

He went out again after picking up the water.

Seeing this, Han sighed and said to Lin Lan in an envious tone she didn't even realize: "Dawang Niang, don't always be angry. In fact, you see, the third brother is still very painful. I found a room and asked you what you mean. He also fixed the glasses. "

Knowing that they are not happy, they take the initiative to say that they are separated, and they also take the initiative to find a house.

When other men decide what to do, they decide for themselves. They seldom talk to women or discuss with them.

Even a large number of men don't talk to women about having children at night, except for talking about work.

In their opinion, not gossiping with their own women is masculine!

Lin Lan smiles and says nothing.

After washing her face, she went back to the room and woke Xiao Wang up and put on his glasses.

"Wow, my glasses!" Xiao Wang is very happy.

Lin Lan took a towel to wipe Xiaowang's face. "Your father repaired it. Remember to thank him."

Xiao Wang pouted and didn't agree.

Lin Lan did not force him, whispered: "your father found a house, we can move out, go and have a look."

She gave Xiao Wang the two pieces of candy and took him to see the house.

Although Xiao Wang doesn't like Han Qingsong, he is very happy to hear that he can move.

Those two rooms were used by the army. Later, the army headquarters expanded and had a new compound. These two rooms were used to store sundries.

Although some dilapidated, but the walls, beams or good, put the roof of the grass to pave again, cultivate yellow mud.

In addition, the doors and windows should be replaced and mended, and then the Kang can be set.

Han Qingsong and a few people are busy. Not only Erwang is helping, but Dawang and Sanwang are also there. In addition, there are some kids of his own family.

Naturally, there are also spectators secretly pointing.

"Look, Han Laosan just came back and separated. Which one is this?"

"Is it because the shrew is looking for life and death?"

"Why don't you say you were driven out by the old lady?"

In general, when families split up, they basically build another room on the basis of the original house base. If they can't afford it, they will build a shack, or even go to the neighbor's home for lodging. Few of them move out so far.

Han Yongfang, the old secretary of the Party branch, heard the rebuke and said, "Hu, what's the matter? You have a long tongue? A family of four sons, just three main rooms, a small East chamber, the eldest and the second two live in one room, and the fourth has to get married. Where do you live? "

When Han Yongfang said that, he stopped many people, especially those who were in similar situation.

However, some people are envious of Han Qingsong's face and ask the old party secretary to give him the two empty rooms.

Several family members in the village have said that they want to borrow the two rooms, but the old party secretary says that there are so many people, who can live in them?

As a result, no one can get it.

Now it's generous to give Han Qingsong a place to live.

"Don't give gifts."

"Who knows, they are all officials, and naturally they are."

"Doesn't it mean that Han Laosan will come back for a divorce instead of the shrew? How can we live alone? What's the matter with their family? "

"I know what's going on. It's not their old lady."

"Well, speaking of the old lady, why is there no one?"

"To be honest, Han Qingsong is really a good young man. Ah, if it wasn't for that, Chunxiang would have married him."

"Screw you, what nonsense."

……

Han Qingsong was quick. He prepared materials for two rooms in half a day and borrowed ready-made Adobe from the team to make Kang.

Fortunately, there are Adobe in the team, which are directly borrowed from Pan Kang.

Two rooms, leaving half of the hall room, the other half as a bedroom, plate a long Kang, the middle can build a rectangular box shaped Kang hole to store sweet potato, sleep on both sides, men and women separate, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the child.

Now many people do not divide the Kang between men and women. A family sleeps on a plate of Kang, and their children are crowded together when they are old.

Not to mention some married people who are still in the same room.

Therefore, Han Qingsong's design is the envy of members.

Lin Lan watched for a while, went back to eat a few breakfast and went to work. Because of the pain in her arm, she didn't take the big hoe and went to the cotton field to take the fork and the insect.

There are still people taking medicine there. The smell of 1605 is ten miles down the wind, and Lin Lan's heart is thumping. It's not easy to stay up until noon. Lin Lan is dizzy and runs away from the insect nest.

When she came back, she went to the army first and saw that Han Qingsong was squatting on the roof and falling yellow mud.

He was wearing a I-shaped vest, showing his strong arms. His sweat was shining in the sun like oil.

At a glance, he saw Lin Lan, holding her hand on the roof. The whole person slipped down, and then jumped down quickly.

Lin Lan is shocked by him, a heart all mention throat, you so jump up and down, have an old wound relapse appearance?

Han Qingsong arrived in front of her in three or two steps, "send some rice at noon, I won't go back to eat."

Lin Lan thought that when she went back, the old lady would ask her endless questions and delay her work. It's not too late to go when everything is ready.

"All right."

Han Qingsong looked at her, "arm good?"

Lin Lan kneaded knead, "still ache."

"Why don't you ask for leave?" Han Qingsong also thought that according to her habit, if she was injured, she would ask for leave and not go to work. Unexpectedly, she didn't ask, so she asked.

Lin Lan: "if you don't work, you have to earn points."

"You don't have to earn points in the future." Han Qingsong said and went back to work.

Does he care about himself?

Lin Lan ponders these words, after that does not need to do the physical work oneself?

It seems that Han Qingsong's nature has not changed. He is still a responsible person like in the book. Since he decides to come back, he will shoulder the responsibility of being a husband and father.

It's just that I was too blind, not at home, and I didn't know the conflicts at home, but my mother and wife made such a mess.

He seems to have a low Eq.

Lin Lan has a look at the children first. They all help here when they come back from mowing. Xiao Wang followed the ears of wheat, wearing a wicker straw hat, with a few willow leaves in his hand, blowing constantly with his small gills, insisting on whistling.

Maisui said to Lin Lan: "Niang, Xiaowang runs like Sanwang when she has glasses. After a while, she disappears."

"Why did he run away by himself?"

"Who knows? I'll stay blind and go to the grass instead of going to the water. Today I'm still lying in a rabbit's nest on a slope. I have to say that there's something going on inside."

"There must have been some movement." Lin Lan said.

Maisui: all mothers are partial to their youngest son. There's nothing wrong with that!

Lin Lan asked her and Erwang to go back to serve rice and let them eat with their father here.

At noon, Mrs. Han had not yet got off the Kang. She was only on the Dongjian Kang. Alas, "I won't have a look when I die."

She firmly believes that her third son is filial. As long as he lies here, he will make amends and admit his mistakes, and will be obedient in the future.

It used to be like this!

Everyone in the family is very quiet.

Han gave Lin Lan a wink, and Lin Lan nodded.

She took a cake, a bowl of vegetables, a chopstick pickles, want to hide in the house to eat.

Just as she was about to leave, Mrs. Han called out in the room, "from the third family, from the third family."
