Chapter 73

It was Han Qinghua, who changed his old ruffian and arrogance, and laughed kindly and steadily. He looked like Han Qingsong.

Han Qinghua is a good-looking girl. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she has read books. She is more handsome than the people in the countryside. It's just that I used to be too coquettish, greasy and ruffian. I was wearing a green uniform, a military cap and a bicycle all day, just like a jerk.

Now, after the reform through labor farm's training, he was a big man, with slightly long hair shaved to a board inch, and his fair skin was also tanned to a wheat color. Then he laughed so innocuously that the whole temperament changed a lot, and he seemed to be a good young man.

Dawang's face first sank, then returned to its original state, and gave the pole to Han Qinghua for him to come.

Han Qinghua sure enough will stick, but also let them whisper, do not get close to, "cicada on the tree can hear you."

A moment later, he also stuck a few.

Erwang and Sanwang have already run home and tell Lin Lan, "Niang, my sidada is back!"

Lin Lan is in the room and face, heard that sidada also Leng for a while, then realized that it was Han Qinghua.

Her heart a tight, subconsciously thought that Han Qinghua is to make trouble. She quickly washed her hands, took off her apron and followed the child out to have a look.

Just as Han Qinghua and Dawang came over, they met Lin Lan at the gate. He handed the pole to Dawang and arched his hand to Lin Lan. He was very cheerful with a smile. "Third sister-in-law, I came to compensate you. I used to be my son of a bitch."

Then he bowed to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan slightly frowned, "Han Qinghua, what are you doing?" He wants to come back, how Han Qingsong did not tell her in advance, does he not know?

Han Qinghua straightened up and said, "sister-in-law, you wronged me. I really want to apologize. I've realized I'm wrong. I used to be such a jerk, but now I know I'm wrong. " He saw a stick standing in the corner of the wall, coming forward and smoking it in his hand.

As soon as Dawang's face changed, he immediately stood in front of Lin Lan to block her.

Han Qinghua saw their nervous appearance and said with a smile: "they are all good children. When they grow up, they know how to protect their mother." He wry smile, "before I was bad, I am too bastard, let you misunderstand." He passed the stick back to Lin Lan, "sister-in-law, you beat me to vent your anger, and I'll show you later."

Lin Lan: "you don't have to."

Han Qinghua suddenly so polite sensible, let Lin Lan subconsciously doubt whether he is reborn or wear, how so strange? What kind of education does a spoiled and abandoned boy need to make him change so well?

Almost no trace of the past! And his smile was so clear that it didn't look like he was pretending. That's what scares people!

Because Lin Lan has five children, she has to be careful. Unconsciously, she loves her children more than anything else.

At this time, Han Jinyu ran over from the outside and said, "Jinbao, what are you doing?"

Han Qinghua said: "elder sister, you come too. Let's apologize to the third sister-in-law. It used to be our fault."

Han Jinyu hissed, "you're like Sanwang. You're out of your mind."

Sanwang: what am I doing! Am I in your way?

Lin Lan took a look at them and slowly relaxed. She didn't think Han Qinghua was coming to revenge, so she was not so nervous. "Are you coming back to visit relatives?" Definitely not put it back, otherwise Han Qingsong won't tell her.

Han Qinghua nodded with a smile, "yes." He said to Dawang again, "don't be nervous. I'm not as miserable on the farm as you think. I usually work like you."

He is different from those thieves of Zhao Jianshe. He was caught reading forbidden books. This is not a reform through labor criminal. He just goes to work and will not be under much control. Moreover, even dwarf, Liu Chun and the thieves who went to the farm mainly worked, and they would not be controlled too much. As long as you don't run away and keep discipline, there's basically nothing to do.

But for Han Qinghua, she used to be spoiled and indulged, and now she works like everyone else every day. This is a very serious reform through labor.

That's why han Qingsong insisted on sending it to him.

Anyway, working at home is almost the same as working on a farm. It's all for him to earn jobs to support himself. If he does become like this, it is Han Qingsong's painstaking efforts that are not in vain and fruitful.

But Lin Lan will not believe it so soon, she said: "your third brother didn't come back from work, you go back first, I'll tell him when he comes home."

Han Qinghua wants to say something, but Han Jinyu grabs her. She says, "you're stupid. She won't let you in."

Han Qinghua: "elder sister, I used to be bad, let the third sister-in-law angry, this is also should be." He said to Lin Lan, "third sister-in-law, I'll go back first. I'll come back when my third brother comes back."

He took Han Jinyu away.

On the way, Han Jinyu complained, "are you tired and stupid? Just go home, Niang hasn't fished out to say two warm words with you, you come to accept her white eyes? There's something wrong with you

Han Qinghua: "sister, why didn't you hear me. It used to be that I was wrong. I had to accompany my sister-in-law when I came back, didn't I? "

Han Jinyu didn't know him and looked at him, "Jinbao, are you serious?"

Han Qinghua: "do you think I'm lying? I didn't like to lie when I was a kid. "

Han Jinyu was in a hurry and ran home. As soon as he entered the hall, he rushed to the main room and took old lady Han's hand. "Mother, I can't help it. We Jinbao have been changed."

Han Qinghua followed behind and went into the room. "You're so strange. Can't I change my ways?"

But Mrs. Han felt that her son had been abused so much on the farm that she changed his old temperament. She put her arms around him, touched him hard and cried, "my poor Jinbao, how many sins have you suffered. You see, it's so dark and rough... "

Han Qinghua touched his head, "I think it's very good. Look how manly I am now." Old lady Han just cried, and Han Jinyu couldn't accept him.

In the courtyard, Han's second sister-in-law looks at her and only cares about washing her own clothes, ignoring several pieces of Han's jade pile beside her.

Han Jinyu piled it on purpose, so he wanted to bury Han Ersao and let her wash it. At the beginning, she ran on Han's sister-in-law in this way. Han's sister-in-law washed her clothes. She also threw her own clothes in the past. Han's sister-in-law couldn't help washing them. Han Ersao will not be used to it. If you put it for a year and a lifetime, she will not wash it!

Han Jinyu ran out to wash clothes, only to find that there was not enough water in the VAT, so he wanted to go to Han Ersao's VAT to scoop.

Han Er Sao immediately stopped, "on a hot day, you can't wash in the river."

In the room, Han Qinghua heard: "wait, I'll pick." He took the initiative to carry water, filling not only the old lady's house but also Han Ersao's.

Han Er Sao looked at him in surprise, "Lao Si, you are... OK."

Han Qinghua smiles, showing a neat white teeth, "second sister-in-law, call me what you want to do in the future."

Han Ersao said tentatively, "old four, how many days have you come back to live?"

Han Qinghua: "it's OK to go back when the harvest is in autumn. When it comes to harvest sorghum sticks, people are indispensable."

Han er's sister-in-law couldn't believe it. That reform through labor farm is a good place. She looked at Han Jinyu. Why didn't she go to reform through labor as well.

Han Jinyu felt Han Ersao's bad eyes and said, "what do you want me to do?"

Han Ersao: "I'm not thinking that the farm is so good."

"It's so good, you go!" Han Jinyu was so angry that she threw her hand into the room.

Han er's sister-in-law, however, was not angry. She asked Han Qinghua about things from east to west. Han Qinghua didn't feel bored and said it to her with a smile.

But old Mrs. Han was in the room distressed for her baby son's suffering, brain is not good feeling, "Jinyu ah, your third brother back, let him come to ask."

Besides, Lin Lan was also wondering. After the children went to school, she thought about it at home and thought that she had to make some preparations. She also put sticks and forks in the house and yard where she could easily hold them. In case Han Qinghua did something, she would have a cushion.

Then she began to take apart and wash the bedclothes and cotton padded clothes. At home, five or six bedclothes and each person's cotton padded jacket had to take turns to take apart and wash, dry and sew again.

At this time, Han's sister-in-law came over, carrying a pile of newly picked tomatoes with a winnowing Osmunda. "Sister in law, look at this foreign persimmon. It's very ripe in a day. I'll take some for you."

Lin Lan's garden also has some, but she has many children. They all like to eat cold persimmon. They consume it quickly, and they can't leave much. People who have good relations will give her some.

Lin Lan took a gourd ladle and dried the persimmon. Next, "sister-in-law, old four is back."

Han does not know, "old four? "He's a big four?"

Lin Lan nodded.

Han's sister-in-law frowned, "it was said that he could come back to visit his relatives after a year and a half. You see. How does he look? Do you want to get mixed up? "

Lin Lan said something about Han Qinghua.

Han said, "is this a good change?" One of her thoughts was also skeptical.

Lin Lan: "I don't know. Let's have a look." If you see people's hearts for a long time, you are all ordinary people. You can't pretend for a long time. If you have a tail, you will always show it. And he probably won't stay for a long time.

Han's sister-in-law was a little worried, "you'd better be careful, but don't be so kind-hearted."

The sister-in-law talked for a while. Han's sister-in-law saw Lin Lan take apart and wash the bedding. She also had work at home, so she left first.

In the afternoon, Han Qinghua didn't come back, and Lin Lan took off the quilt at home. She always wanted to make a quilt cover to cover the quilt, but she was not so well-off after all, so she took apart the quilt every summer to wash and dry it.

She took the boys first.

Although her family is hygienic, she sends her children to wash their feet and face every day and take a bath every few days. Even so, their quilts are dirtier. After all, it's only once a year to take apart and wash. Besides, sanitary quilts will be dirty.

It can be imagined that other people's homes are not so hygienic. This quilt is as dirty as iron from autumn to spring.

In addition to quilts and mattresses, there is also a family's cotton padded clothes that have to be removed and washed. The rolled cotton bags need to be replaced with new cotton, the too old ones need to be added with new cotton, and the small ones need to be replaced with large ones. In short, there are many things to do.

Cotton padded clothes are better, because she has made outer and inner clothes for the children to wear, so the cotton padded clothes are not too dirty. Unlike most of the children in the village who wear a hollow jacket, a jacket and a pair of trousers, it's very dirty when it's hot and cotton when it's cold.

It's hard to sew, but it's easy to dismantle. Thinking of Han Qingsong helping her sew quilts and clothes at that time, Lin Lan couldn't help laughing.

Because there were too many quilts and cotton padded clothes to be removed in half a day, she folded the removed cotton core, tied it up with a bundle and put it in the cabinet to avoid dust and dirt.

It's about time. She'll prepare dinner first.

Now the children go to mow grass to earn work points after school. When they are interested, they have to swim in the river, so they don't come back early.

While she was washing vegetables, Han Qingsong came back. Lin Lan took a clean tomato to him. Originally Han Qingsong didn't eat snacks. Lin Lan had nothing to do and let him eat some fruits. He was also used to it.

Han Qingsong took it and took a bite. The tomato planted by himself in the garden looks pink. It tastes sweet and sandy, full and juicy, and tastes very sweet.

Lin Lan: "old four back, do you know?"

Smell speech, Han Qingsong stopped for a while and ate again, "now is can come back to visit relatives, he came?"

Lin Lan nodded, "at noon that moment and the children at the door, looking at changed a lot."

Han Qingsong: "labor can transform people."

Lin Lan said, "go and have a look."

"After dinner." Han Qingsong is not in a hurry. When he goes to Shanshui farm to work, he will look at Laosi by the way, so there is nothing special to see.

After six o'clock, the children ran back together. In addition to mowing the grass for the production team, they also brought some tender wild vegetables back to feed the ducks. Their ducks are also very sensible. They eat fish and shrimp in the river during the day, but they never lay eggs in the river. They lay eggs in the nest at night or in the morning.

The boys had just been under the water, one by one wearing swimming trunks, maisui carrying two schoolbags, leading Xiaowang.

When they got home, they changed their trunks and put on their waistcoats to help.

Lin Lan holding basin, a person hair a tomato, eat first quench thirst. Then Dawang and Sanwang sweep the yard. Han Qingsong moves the dining table to the yard. Erwang and maisui help set the meal. Xiaowang goes to inspect the chickens, ducks and dogs at home.

Wang Wang, in particular, went out in heat a while ago and was married. He was pregnant with a dog cub. It is estimated that he will give birth at the end of this month. Xiao Wang is very concerned.

After packing up, the family sat in the yard talking and eating while enjoying the cold.

The evening wind blows through the garden, and some cicadas can't bear the heat, which makes the courtyard more and more full of the charm of farmers.

Lin Lan now thinks eating is a very interesting thing.

Since Xiaowang and Sanwang get on well, they sit on one side while eating, while Lin Lan sits on the opposite side of the door because she wants to serve, so Han Qingsong and Dawang sit opposite her.

That father and son have a kind of unconscious synchronization, the same unsmiling, eating sometimes the same action.

Take a look at maisui and Erwang on the left. Both of them are gentle. Even in such a small farmyard, the two children have a unique elegance. Sanwang and Xiaowang on the right, one is cute and quiet, white and tender, the other is tiger head and tiger brain, black as Baogong, but if Sanwang starts, Xiaowang will laugh with him, and the two brothers will open their mouths and bend their eyes.

Xiaowang can no longer see the shadow of autism. It's good.

Lin Lan couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the whole table was watching her.

Sanwang: "Niang, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Lan bent her eyes with a smile: "my mother is happy. I feel happy to have you together every day."

Xiao Wang said in a loud voice: "mother, me too!"

When he finished, he took Sanwang with his arm. Sanwang immediately said, "of course, on such a good day, I will not change my daughter-in-law."

Now some people tease him and tell him to find a daughter-in-law for him. Children don't understand, so they don't care about their daughter-in-law.

Everyone laughed.

Only Han Qingsong and Dawang had a softer expression, but they didn't say anything.

Xiao Wang looked at his father curiously, "Dad, are you hot?"

They are swimming every day and feel warm in their waistcoats. My father always wears a uniform, which is long trousers with short sleeves and no shorts. Now it's hotter to eat and drink porridge. He and his third brother are sweating constantly on their faces, but dad doesn't seem so hot, only there are sweat beads on his nose.

Xiao Wang thinks his father must be very hot and hard. He is too tired to sweat!

Han Qingsong: "it's OK."

Xiao Wang immediately climbed down the stool and ran to the room. He took a PU fan from the stove and fanned Han Qingsong thoughtfully. "Dad is so hard that he is too hot to sweat."

"Ha ha ha..." Lin Lan several can't help laughing, Sanwang smile is more exaggerated, put down the bowl, "Xiaowang brother, hot sweat does not flow, that is a fever."

When Xiao Wang heard that his father had a fever, he was even worse. He quickly said, "mother, give my father a piece of analgin!"

Everyone put down the bowls to avoid laughing.

Han Qingsong touched Xiaowang's head with his big hand. "Let's eat. My father doesn't have a fever, but he doesn't like sweating."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "your father is not afraid of cold in winter and not afraid of heat in summer. It's called good health. We should exercise well and learn a little."

After dinner, Sanwang also went to find Zhigui. Dawang said that he would not go today.

Sanwang: "brother, why don't you go?"

Dawang: "tired today, go tomorrow."

Sanwang boasted: "brother, are you still tired? I thought you would never know how tired you are He is very strange that he and Xiao Wang are not tired. Why is elder brother still tired? However, Dawang said that if he didn't go, he wouldn't go, and Sanwang couldn't help it, so he wanted Erwang to lead them.

Lin Lan said: "it's tiring to look for it every day. I have to get up early in the morning and I can't wake up. I don't think it's going to rain on this day, so don't go During the day, it was still very clear, and now it was overcast, dark, and electric light flickered in the thick clouds.

Three Wang see Niang also say so even if, "small Wang, that we put the door to look for."

Xiao Wang held the empty wine bottle he used to hold and said, "let's go."

At this time, Han Qingsong said that he would go to gai's home. Lin Lan picked up a few peaches for him and took them with him. They were sent by Dong Huaihua.

Han Qinghua is here before he comes.

"Fourth brother!" As soon as Han Qinghua enters the door, he greets happily, holding some tomatoes in his hand. He puts them on the table and looks at Lin Lan: "sister-in-law, what my mother gave you is sweet."

Lin Lan smiles, "thank you. Have you eaten?"

Han Qinghua: "yes."

The children all asked sidada how they were.

He saw that Sanwang was going to find Zhigui. He was also excited and said, "I'll go with you."

Lin Lan said: "you sit and talk. They'll look for it at the door." Maisui and Erwang take away the chopsticks, wipe the table, and then bring the teapot and bowl.

Han Qingsong asks his fourth brother to sit down and pour him water. It's Lin Lan's homemade fruit tea, sweet and sour.

Han Qinghua took a sip and boasted: "it's delicious!"

Han Qingsong: "your sister-in-law made it."

Lin Lan's family doesn't prepare tea at ordinary times. At this time, the quality of local tea is not good. Han Qingsong is a man who doesn't have much desire to eat. He is not used to drinking, smoking, sugar and tea, so Lin Lan is lazy. But she usually sun dried hawthorn and so on, with hawthorn and red dates boiling water, pour in the soup pot to drink.

Han Qinghua saw Dawang sitting on one side of the water table, playing with the slingshot in his hand, and said with a smile, "Dawang, you've grown tall."

Dawang said, "sidada has grown up."

Han Qinghua began to say that when he was with Dawang before, "you're a good boy, so you dare to drill in the county."

There was no expression on Dawang's face. Of course, he didn't mention the whipping.

After chatting for a while, Han Qinghua said, "third brother, let's go to talk to the second brother."

Han Qingsong looks at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan said: "you go. It's OK at home." She is the one who takes apart the quilt and coat again. It's not a big job.

Han Qingsong and Han Qinghua go out, Dawang hesitates to follow.

Lin Lan: "eldest son, you didn't do your homework."

Dawang: "it's written in school." And then I went out.

Soon, Lin Lan, maisui and Erwang were left at home.

Wheat ear whispered: "Niang, do you think my sidada has really changed?"

Lin Lan: "this is not good." After all, people are separated from each other, but we can't deny it. Maybe people have really improved.

Er Wang said: "Niang, I don't know why. I'm a little flustered with my smile."

Lin Lan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "what are you flustered about? Your father is here."

Erwang was embarrassed and said, "I don't know why, but I don't trust him. Mother, do you think I'm too suspicious?"

"Son, it's right for you to be so careful. After all, people are separated from each other. We don't want him to see that we doubt him."

The three laughed.

After a while, Sanwang and Xiaowang came back, but they were still not satisfied, because they didn't find much at home, but they didn't dare to go far away for fear that their parents would worry.

Lin Lan comforted them: "Tomorrow your elder brother will lead you to find."

The children didn't say anything. They listened to the radio. After a while, Dawang came back and said that dad was talking to them.

Lin Lan is afraid that it will rain in the second half of the night, so she leads the children to clean up the yard. The grass that should be stored is collected in the south house, and the furniture that should be put is also collected. The tanks used to receive the rain are also placed under the eaves, and the gutters should be opened, so as not to be blocked by debris.

Many people's houses are low and their gutters are blocked. They don't clean them up in advance. When it rains heavily in the middle of the night, the rain will pour into the house. Lin Lan's family is a new house, and if the foundation is two steps higher, you don't have to worry about it.

After cleaning up, she asked the children to wash and go to the Kang early, and get up early in the morning for morning exercises. When the children had a rest, Lin Lan went to the Kang and wrote something for Han Qingsong. He didn't come back until nearly ten o'clock, and he was flushed at the end of his eyes. He should have drunk some wine.

"Drinking with old four?" Han Qingsong is not a cup greedy person. He drinks half a cup of tea everyday, and can't see that he is drunk. Now my eyes are red. It seems that I have been given at least a teacup. Lin Lan felt a little uncomfortable.

Han Qingsong: "well, there's a Secretary for them."

Lin Lan didn't ask any more. Anyway, he would say something.

Han Qingsong took off his clothes to take a shower, and soon came back to clean the Kang. "Old four can stay until the autumn harvest, he will share the book, you don't have to worry."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "with you, what am I worried about?"

Naturally, she would not say that she believed in Han Qinghua at will. Of course, she would not belittle him. After all, he is a mother and brother. She only said that she believed in him.

Han Qingsong lay on her leg, "a little dizzy."

Lin Lan rubbed the temple for him, "how much to drink, my head is dizzy."

Her fingers are flexible and moderate in strength, which makes him feel comfortable. She leans back in her arms again, "I feel dizzy." When he drinks, his hands are not so serious.

Lin Lan pressed his hand, took a pillow to cushion him, "I'll make you a bowl of wine soup." She was just about to leave, but he was holding the waist in front of her chest. She was angry with him and said, "I'm not dizzy."

"It makes you more dizzy." His eyes are full of deep affection, and the red halo at the end of his eyes makes his original cold and resolute expression more romantic.

Lin Lan couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart and bowed her head to kiss him.

As soon as he turned over, he pressed her down and began to kiss her, "... This way to relieve the wine..."

Drink wine, his usual restraint and forbearance to put aside, action with can't refuse the overbearing and tough, let Lin Lan irresistible, repeatedly beg for mercy.

……

A long time later, in the middle of the moon, he let her go contentedly.

Lin Lan is too tired.

With a smile in his voice, "I'm sober now." Then she bit her earlobe, and she fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, there was a thunderstorm. The air was full of rich water vapor and cool. Lin Lan was so tired that she didn't smell it at all. She slept comfortably in his arms.
