Chapter 78

Han Jinyu did not dare to speak. She was so wronged that she pulled her handkerchief hard. It was full of her tears, and she wanted to wring it out.

Han Qinghua said with a smile: "that's right, elder sister, it's too easy for you to say that. We have many sisters and brothers. Would you like a piece of cloth? If you don't talk about others, you will marry someone. When I get married, I will ask you for a piece of cloth. Will you give it to me? "

As soon as Han Jinyu was about to say it, Han Qinghua said, "even if you give it, will my brother-in-law give it? Do you want to take it out? "

Han Jinyu stopped talking.

Han Qinghua said: "Dad, mom, I think it's very good. Ask other people in the village, the quilt is not accompanied, and the accompanying is also brought back by the mother-in-law's family."

A lot of girls are men who make hook cloth, make new clothes for women, and then take their daily necessities with them. There is nothing else.

Although Han Jinyu is not happy, but the family all say so, she can only be aggrieved.

When Han Er Ge and Han Er Sao saw this, they said nothing and agreed. After all, it's too different from what Mrs. Han said. It's acceptable.

It's a deal. Han Qinghua asks the old lady to buy cloth for Lin Lan. The old lady is not willing to let Lin Lan buy it first and then give it money.

How can Lin Lan promise. If it's not Han Qingsong's sister, it's aimed at Han Jinyu's character. Lin Lan doesn't want to look at it.

Han Qinghua said: "mother, you can hurry up. My third sister-in-law is willing to help."

Old lady Han just went to get ten yuan, and told Lin Lan to take it back.

Lin Lan: I don't want to help you now.

As for cotton, Lin Lan is too lazy to manage it. Let Mrs. Han collect the cotton ticket by herself, and the score is almost the same, even if she almost finds someone to change or buy it.

Old lady Han said, "the three of you will make up the dowry."

Han said, "finally, we can figure out how much it will cost. We'll pay one fourth."

Mrs. Han wants the three families to share, but she doesn't want to. Now listen to Han sister-in-law this words also can only dry angry, really divided the family, she can't handle. Now Brother Han is in charge of his own family. Han Da Ge does not live together. Naturally, everything has the final say.

So Mrs. Han felt that she was losing her position. What's the use of holding her son? Or a daughter-in-law has the final say!

Old man Han didn't speak all the time. Seeing that everyone had agreed, he said, "that's it. It's not too windy or too embarrassing."

After discussion, Han asked Lin Lan to go back. Now she doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Han Qinghua said with a smile: "sister-in-law, sister-in-law, stay a little longer. I haven't seen you for a while."

Sister Han: "no, I have to go back and clean it up."

Han Qinghua invited Han Qingsong to stay longer and joked: "third brother, we four brothers haven't sat down together for a long time to have a chat. Just stay longer. It's still early. Don't rush home to sleep. Ha ha. "

Han Qingsong originally wanted to talk to his elder brother later. Listening to him, he said, "if you want to get up early, you'd better go to bed early." He was never challenged.

Han Qinghua: you can't do without your wife!

Han Qingsong accompanies Lin Lan to go back. She says goodbye to Han's sister-in-law at the intersection. Han's sister-in-law doesn't want to say anything more in front of Han Qingsong. She just wants to talk to Lin Lan when she's free.

At home, the children have not come back.

Han Qingsong moved the table to the house, "I'll leave the car for you these two days."

Lin Lan said, "it's OK. I'll go to the third sister's house tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Remembering what several women said when they were washing clothes, she asked Han Qingsong, "do you have any information about cracking down on speculation?"

Han Qingsong looked at her: "it's always very strict."

It's OK for farmers in the countryside to sell their own food and vegetables, but when they go to the city to exchange eggs for food stamps, sell cloth, or the city people turn over supplies, they are very strict. Lin Mei's main purpose is to make a name for herself and to be a good person. She has a good relationship with those people, so she's not very good at the moment. Anyway, she weaves her own cloth. Sometimes she doesn't have to sell it, and some people come to buy it.

Let's say that one's own home weaves, one's own home weaves, and relatives come and take care of it? Lin Lan is still a little worried about the third sister and thinks she has to talk to her. She went to take a shower and washed the clothes Xiao Wang San Wang took off.

Han Qingsong said: "you put it, I'll wash it."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "thank you very much." She put the basin in his hand. "You wash it in the river, and I'll split some hemp skin."

In the countryside, except for thick ropes, some small ropes are basically rubbed by themselves. After soaking in water, cut off the skin and beat it with a mallet. When it is ripe, it can be broken and twisted together with a hammer to form hemp rope.

Han Qingsong doesn't go to the river to wash, so he washes clothes at home. He has a lot of strength, so it's easier to rub than Lin Lan. After a while, he finishes washing and airing. He helps Lin Lan split hemp skin, "strange hot, you eat melon."

After a while, the children came back to see that the jubilant look is a bumper harvest.

Lin Lan pays attention to Dawang again, and finds that after he goes home, he goes into the house to tidy up his little book. It is estimated that it is not enough. He found a book and cut it into two pieces with scissors. The lower half was pierced with needle and thread. After processing, he marked the serial number with a pencil.

Lin Lan: "elder son, you can!

She took advantage of Dawang to go out for a shower, quietly looked through his little book, and found that there were many knowledge points in it.

Inevitably, there are mistakes.

After thinking about it, Lin Lan went to maisui and Erwang, "when you do your homework, talk to your elder brother more."

Dawang wants to face up. He may be embarrassed to ask his younger brother and sister, but if the direction is wrong, the greater the strength, the more useless it is.

Maisui said with a smile, "mother, don't worry."

Erwang was also surprised: "Niang, there is something wrong with my elder brother these two days, but he has worked hard."

I used to sit there in class and sleep straightly, but now I'm still straightly. I just don't sleep, but listen to the teacher. If the teacher doesn't give a lecture, he will read a book. Not only look at their own, but also borrow the second grade.

It's really... The feeling of the sun rising from midnight.

Lin Lan smiles and doesn't say much. She only tells maisui and erwangduo to help elder brother.

Dawang needs help. I'm sorry to ask. If maisui and Erwang take the initiative to help, he will push the boat along with the current.

In the evening, Lin Lan has to tell Han Qingsong about Dawang.

Han Qingsong just listened quietly and didn't express any opinions, which made Lin Lan think he might not be so interested? Is his father too indifferent or too Buddhist?

But when she was on the Kang with Han Qingsong, she had little room for thinking.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Lan takes Xiao Wang to the third sister's house.

Zhengjiagou is more than ten miles away from them. It's only a short ride by bike.

When she entered the village, she went directly to Zheng's house. At the door, she saw a good man and two children playing the game of riding a horse, one by one dragging a stick and shouting: "drive! Drive

Haonan is Lin Mei's youngest son. He is 6 years old. Like his father, he is also a biographer, and has a sister, Zheng Qiaoqiao.

Playing playing, a good boy suddenly fight with the children, you hit me, I hit you, and then he lay on the ground rolling crying.

The child was used to by his grandfather.

Lin Lan rang the car bell, "Ding bell", she called: "good man, get up!"

Seeing Lin Lan, the good man didn't cry any more. He got up all of a sudden and called out: "four nuns, four nuns!"

Lin Lan: "the child is 6 years old. He doesn't speak as well as a 3-year-old. He has a big tongue.

She got out of the car, took Xiaowang down and let him play with Haonan.

Some children think it strange to see Xiaowang wearing glasses. A little girl said with a smile, "why do you put the bottom of the bottle on your eyes, ha ha."

Xiao Wang: "these are glasses."

A few kids are going to try it on. They've never worn it before.

Xiao Wang took them to wear, and they all yelled "dizzy, dizzy, blind!"

The children were in a group.

When she saw Lin Lan and Xiao Wang, she said happily, "Oh, his fourth aunt is coming. Come on in!"

She is a few years younger than Han. She gave birth to Zheng Yaozu in her twenties. She is young when she has few children. He is not only mentally healthy, physically strong, but also straightforward.

The good man immediately complained: "Ho Ho, the millstone hit me!" He pointed to a little boy.

Mrs. Zheng: "Mopan, how can you beat our good men? I won't play with you in the future! "

The millstone shriveled and ran away.

The good man snorted triumphantly.

Lin Lan

Zheng's mother-in-law wanted to hold Xiaowang up again. Xiaowang said obediently, "I'll go by myself."

"Good man, look at Xiaowang. He's so good. You have to learn." Seeing that Xiaowang was white and handsome, Mrs. Zheng really satisfied all her fantasies about her children and wished she had such a child.

When she said that, the little face of the good man was pulled down, and Xiao Wang's eyes were fierce.

Parents like to compare their children with other people's families. They don't think so. As a result, they make enemies for their children as soon as they meet.

Lin Lan quickly said: "good man is also good, and Xiao Wang is good, you are good brothers, play together." She touched the good man's head and gave him a handful of candy to eat with Xiao Wang.

Listen to Lin Lan praise him back to lie down to eat, good man's small face pulled down half to smile again, holding Xiaowang's hand, "small busy, shake, to see my pony."

Mrs. Zheng invited Lin Lan into the house, but she was not at home when she went to work.

Zheng Yaozu is at home, is holding a book to shake his head to product, from time to time to exclaim, to just enter the door of Lin Lan startled.

Seeing Lin Lan coming, Zheng Yaozu immediately dropped the book and said with a smile, "sister-in-law, you're here."

Lin Lan politely smile: "brother-in-law, why are you at home?"

Zheng Yaozu: "which day am I not at home? Ha ha, you come less, you come more, you know I'm at home

Lin Lan: "I said you are lazy to eat soft food at home, and you still think I praise you!

Mrs. Zheng asked Zheng Yaozu to come back to Lin Mei.

Zheng Yaozu said: "Niang, you go. My sister-in-law and I have a good time."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "I said brother-in-law, how old is my aunt, what's wrong with your young runner."

Zheng Yaozu said, "yes, I'll shout." He left.

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "his fourth aunt, let you laugh, is really a failure."

Lin Lan said: "Auntie, I don't mean my brother-in-law. I can't stay like this all day and let him help with weaving. I think my brother-in-law has culture and aesthetic feeling. He certainly weaves better than our old ladies. "

Naturally, she will not directly belittle other people's sons. It's not a fight, but a seemingly critical but actually boastful one.

Mrs. Zheng continued to laugh, "he? No, it's not She waved her hand. "I've wove such a big piece every day, and he can't wove it in a few days."

Lin Lan: my son is used to you. You won't let him do anything. Of course he won't do it.

At this time, Mrs. Zheng asked Xiaowang and Haonan to come in and eat the egg soup. She carried a big bowl with her

The good man opened his mouth and ate the egg soup like the chicks. He took a bite, and Mrs. Zheng gave Xiaowang a big one.

Lin Lan said: "Auntie, he is so old, how can he feed?" Is it difficult to find a powerful daughter-in-law like Lin Mei to support him? All the good children have been abandoned.

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile, "he's so kind. Anyway, I'll feed him when I'm free. I'm not tired either."

Lin Lan: "this is just one. If we have several like that, aunt, you'll be dead tired."

Mrs. Zheng sighed, "his fourth aunt, it's not your joke. You say it's just such a baby pimple, ah. If we have five or six, we don't care. His mother is better than me. At least she has a daughter. I'm only one child. Ah. "

Lin Lan: "she has been silent since she entered the door.

Mrs. Zheng is really good at everything. She is open-minded to her daughter-in-law. She is diligent and enthusiastic. But she dotes on her children. She really... Turns her son into a soft eater. Now her grandson will follow suit.

The key is that a good man may not be as handsome as Zheng Yaozu, and whether he can have a soft meal in the future is another question.

Soon, Lin Mei and Zheng Yaozu will come back.

Lin Mei is sharp and fast. Zheng Yaozu is in a hurry.

Zheng Yaozu gasped: "I said Lin Mei, what are you doing so fast? It's not the people from the market management office chasing you."

Lin Mei: "you can't catch up with me. You're so happy to say that." She toward Lin Lan smile: "how free to come to me here."

Lin Lan said, "it's not that Han Jinyu is getting married. He wants to buy cloth."

Lin Mei hissed, "who else wants her?"

Zheng Yaozu: "Lin Mei, you are not right. You all have people..."

"Zheng Yaozu, shut up!" Lin Mei stabbed him in front of Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng didn't feel shameless either. Instead, she followed Lin Mei to scold her son. "Yaozu, don't talk nonsense. Lin Mei is a good daughter-in-law to find."

Zheng Yaozu gave his mother coquetry: "mother, then she always bullies me."

Lin Lan has goose bumps all over her body. She opens her eyes to Lin Mei and shows an exaggerated expression.

Lin Mei chuckled, reached out and patted her, "you orchid, you are still naughty at your age."

Lin Lan glanced at the two in the hall and said with a smile, "sister, don't you think you have a big son?"

Lin Mei shriveled, "it's not as good as your eldest son."

Lin Lan thought, really, Dawang is more mature and capable than Zheng Yaozu.

Lin Mei leads Lin Lan to see cloth. Unfortunately, they are all simple cloth. Han Jinyu can't see it. She wants something with patterns.

Lin Mei said in a low voice: "I've been strict recently. Those who are good with me have also sent me letters. Let me keep them. But it's OK. Many people in our village work here. And the old lady of the accountant, no one reported it. "

Naturally, there are reports. It's just that she has a relationship with the people in the market management office of the commune, and several cadres' families in the village are also here, so some people report and some help to cover up. Nothing has happened.

But Lin Lan thinks it's not a matter to be like this all the time. After all, speculation is a big trouble at this time. Once the authorities seriously investigate it, it's also fatal.

Lin Lan said: "you think about how to be aboveboard." The time of opening up the individual economy varies from place to place. Some people were able to do so in the late 1970s, while some places were still in prison in the early 1980s.

She also knows that she can't force Lin Mei not to touch her. After all, it's unrealistic for people who want to do business to keep her away for ten years.

Lin Mei: "how can you be aboveboard? I won't let you go anywhere."

Lin Lan said: "you can discuss with the brigade to see if you can become a sideline of the brigade. You are in charge of finding women to work, and the things you make are sold in the name of the brigade, and you get dividends. "

Lin Mei: "bonus? Where there's a dividend, if it's from the brigade, you'll get a work point at that time. "

"So you have to communicate and discuss. You can have a sharp tongue Lin Lan encouraged her, and there were several cadres' families.

Lin Mei snorted, "there are two cadres in our brigade. They have everything. I really don't like them. When you become a cadre, everyone looks like a thief. I'll give you a shelf when I do something. I always want you to give me some benefits. If I say to be a sideline of the brigade, then he'll go and let his wife and daughter-in-law take charge of it. Where else is my business

Lin Lan said: "sometimes for the sake of the overall situation, we have to deal with some people who are not on the table. Now you are nervous again. If you don't think of a way to do it, you can't do it at all. It's better to think of a way to cooperate with them. Don't contact them directly. You can contact their old lady. "

Lin Mei had an idea. "Yes, I just wanted to annoy them. I didn't think about it. Let my mother-in-law talk to them."

Mrs. Zheng has some prestige among the old ladies.

"You can also pull up the cadres of other brigades and give them more or less dividends at that time." Lin Lan has an idea.

Lin Mei's eyes brightened, "orchid, let the director of your family be a member."

Lin Lan said angrily, "you are confused. I don't even have a sideline. If you let him do it, you can just roll him up. "

Lin Mei laughed and gave herself a slap. "Don't blame me if I'm confused. You're right. I have to think about it. "

Lin Lan finally picked a good-looking plaid cloth. Han Jinyu would like it. Although it is not as fashionable as the woven cloth of the commune, it is not rustic.

Lin Mei said to give it to her, but Lin Lan naturally refused, "do you want cotton for weaving? No manual? It's been woven for several days. Why am I so cheeky? " And it's Mrs. Han who bought it. Of course, it can't be cheap. We have to follow the black market price.

Lin Mei: "come on, your mouth is more powerful. I see that the mouth of your director is all on you. One is silent for a long time, and the other is very good at saying. "

Lin Lan laughs.

Lin Mei suddenly saw something, a pull Lin Lan's collar, looking at her clavicle, "Oh, my God, this more ruthless Dao ah, a red."

Lin Lan's face suddenly red, quickly pushed her hand away, took the collar to block, "why, people are embarrassed."

Lin meitut kept on.

At this time, Zheng Yaozu came in with a large tea tray full of fruits, including watermelons and peaches. "My sister-in-law eats melons."

Lin Lan smiles, "thank you brother-in-law."

Lin Mei looked at Zheng Yaozu staring at Lin Lan and kicked him, "Qiao Qiao, tell her to come back and talk to her fourth aunt."

Zheng Yaozu: "I don't know. I'm going to mow the grass. I won't come back soon."

Zheng Yaozu was driven out by Lin Mei, so he had to find Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng asked him to pick some vegetables from the garden and said, "go to see the team grind tofu today, buy two pieces of tofu and come back for lunch with his fourth aunt."

Lin Lan said busily, "my aunt doesn't have to be busy. I have to go home to cook lunch. I can't stay for dinner. I'll play again for the new year." In addition to the new year and winter, the country people usually have no time to visit their relatives. Even if they have something to do, they can make a quick decision. And everyone's rations are limited, and the sensible basically don't stay to eat.

This time, Lin Lan brought some food and fruit with her bag. She put the things down and just wrapped the cloth so that people would not see her.

Mrs. Zheng is still rare Xiaowang, see they want to go, is reluctant: "his fourth aunt, winter free to live ah, with wheat ears and boys to live for two days."

As a result, when he heard that Xiao Wang and Lin Lan were going to leave, he was reluctant to give up. Holding Xiao Wang, he cried and insisted that Xiao Wang stay. If he didn't stay, he would roll on the ground.

Xiao Wang: "of course he refused to leave his mother. Instead, he said," why don't you go to my house? "

Good man a listen to don't cry, hurry to pack up his own burden, "go, four Ni home."

Adults can't laugh or cry, Mrs. Zheng coaxed him, "next time."

Good man began to cry, "you cheat silver, cheat silver..." good man although the words are not sharp, but he is not stupid, used to say next time, but never next time!

Good man and Xiao Wang are different. Although the conditions of a good man's family are ordinary, his grandfather is used to him, but he is not used to his appearance. If he is not satisfied, he will roll and cry. Although there is Lin Mei pull not to go out when the bear child, can be used to the child should have some wayward temper is not short of.

When he cried, he would not stop until he reached his goal.

Xiao Wang has never seen this battle before. Standing on one side, he is just like watching a big play?

Lin Mei is impatient. She's going to smoke when she picks up a broom. Lin Lan doesn't advise her. The child has to be well educated.

Seeing that Lin Lan didn't persuade her, Mrs. Zheng had to stop her by herself: "Oh, don't beat me, baby. I'll be fine for a while."

"Niang, get up. You are used to him all day long. What are you used to?" Lin Mei doesn't stop.

Zheng mother-in-law hugged the child, "then you hit me."

Lin Mei: "yes! You do this every time. I'll beat you if I want to. You say you are old, why do I beat you? "

Mrs. Zheng: "or hit him!" She pointed to Zheng Yaozu.

Zheng Yaozu: "yes

Lin Mei was so angry that she stamped her feet. She was so angry every time. If a good man makes a mistake, she will take care of her mother-in-law. I don't want to fight with her, but my mother-in-law is smiling, and she has to be beaten for her grandson. Can she really beat her? But again and again, take good care of the bear boy. What's he used to?

If you don't like it, you'll have to follow him. If you don't follow him, you won't stop.

Lin Lan saw that although there was no big conflict in their family, it was not small either. She said, "why don't I take the good man to live for a few days?" Many bear children leave their parents and are treated well by others.

Lin Mei immediately said: "in, take it, if you play temperament, throw it away, don't send it back!"

A good man doesn't care about this. He only listens to what he wants to hear. His fourth aunt wants to take him. He immediately tears into a smile, holding Xiaowang's hand: "small busy, how two a quilt."

Xiao Wang: "your feet stink."

The good man laughed straight, "wash."

Zheng mother-in-law son does not give up, "his fourth aunt does not coax the child, such spot."

Lin Lan: "Auntie, it's better to coax him next time than this time. Get him some clothes. "

Lin Mei comes to think that Lin Lan's family has many children. Now they are all obedient. Even Da Wang's evil head is well educated. Are you afraid of a good man?

Let Han Qingsong change it with a slap! If you leave your mother, look at this boy!

Lin Mei was excited to jump up and clap. If she could send this smelly boy out, she would be happy to pack one and send another, even Zheng Yaozu!

It's a pity no one wants it!

Lin Lan is not afraid of a good man. Sometimes children don't listen to their family. They are obedient. What's more, she still has several children to help her. When she comes back, it's just the right time for her to give a good man a bad impression.

Lin Mei hummed a little song to clean up her son's clothes. She was in a good mood and went to clean up a few kilos of noodles.

Zheng Yaozu saw her so gloating, "ha ha, you are really willing."

Lin Mei glared at him, "I'm willing to give up even you!"

Zheng Yaozu was very moved, "why don't I go with Haonan..."

"I Pooh!" Lin Mei spat at him, "are you enough to be poked by director Han? Go back to you

Although I know that he doesn't have that mind, just simply appreciate the beauty, but you appreciate other people's daughter-in-law, they don't beat you!

Zheng Yaozu said with a smile, "I'm not talking about it."

Lin Lan is not joking. She ties the cloth to the front, takes the good man's rations, clothes and toys, and lets the two children sit in the back seat together. Good man in the back of a small Wang, and then a bundle of cloth bags, save the dishonest fall.

Zheng's mother-in-law has already begun to shed tears. She is very distressed, just like her grandson is going to be punished. Especially the good man urges Lin Lan to hurry up.

Lin Lan waved to them, "go, don't think about it." She left on her bicycle.

Mrs. Zheng trotted to keep up with her, shouting: "good man, if you want to see her, please let her send her back. His fourth aunt, slow down and watch the children. "

Good man doesn't care at all. He just laughs and is so happy to go out to play.

As soon as she looked back at Lin Mei's Schadenfreude, she stamped her foot, "you said that you are still your own mother. I don't know that you think it's a stepmother."

Lin Mei rolled her eyes and said, "isn't a good man your son?" Pointing to Zheng Yaozu, "isn't that my son?"

Mrs. Zheng couldn't laugh or cry. "You're not big or small. Forget it. I'll go tomorrow..."

"Stop!" Lin Mei said: "no one is allowed to go! Let him stay for a few days, I can bring enough food and come back after eating Then she went to discuss what Lin Lan said.

As soon as she left, Zheng Yaozu gave his mother a sign to add fuel to her story. "Mother, she has brought such a half bag, which is enough to eat for a while."

Oh, Hello, I'm dying.

It is said that director Han is very powerful. His own sons are whipped, and Dawang and Sanwang have suffered!

Mrs. Zheng began to cry again, "my darling, you have to suffer. Don't be beaten."
