Strict Wife of the ’70s Manages the Household

Chapter 108: A single refusal

Views:

Wu Wenyi was knocked out by a child, and he waved his fist angrily as a threat.

Sanwang: "You don't have to work hard, my eldest brother knocked you out with a punch." Don't look at Wu Wenyi's seventeen-year-old, but it's not enough for the thirteen-year-old Dawang.

Wu Wenyi was cowardly again.

Erwang was teaching Shen Yu how to make Erhe Noodles and Wowotou to cook porridge by the way. They don’t have a vegetable garden, so now they can only rely on everyone to help them out.

To make the taste better, add a little salt and oil to the wowotou.

Xu Dongxing shouted: "Eating wowotou again. Even if you can't eat fine noodles at home, that's 60% of the time. How can you come here to eat coarse grains? You should eat fine noodles at night."

Some girls agree, they really can't eat the rough grains and pancakes. Miscellaneous grains are bean noodles, sorghum noodles, and cornmeal. The good ones are added with fine noodles, and the bad ones are pure miscellaneous grains. When the flour is milled, the flour is not so fine.

Fan Xiao missed the meal at Lin Lan's house very much, and slumped aside, feeling that he was going to starve to death.

Sanwang leaned over, "Sister Fan, how many work points do you have?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask Fan Xiao, you cry directly. She has beautiful skin and good skin. When she starts to cry, her pear blossoms bring rain, "Little Third Brother, please save me."

Sanwang rubbed his hands together, "What, are you fighting? I don't need to teach you if you know how to drink water."

Fan Xiao: "Woooooo..."

Mai Sui comforted her: "Sister Fan, don't cry."

Fan Xiao: "No, I have to call your sister, Sister Mai, save me."

Mai Sui: "...What's the matter?"

Gao Lu and Chi Min didn't care to ridicule Fan Xiao, their faces drooped and listless. They looked at Huo Hongzhen with envy and jealousy in their eyes. Originally, they thought that the primary school teacher was only seven points, but now it looks like a sweet pastry.

Huo Hongzhen was afraid that they would be jealous, so she didn't say anything, just pretended she didn't know anything.

Fan Xiao hugged Xiao Wang and cried, "Brother Xiao Wang, I might not be as good as you in earning work points... woo woo, little cabbage... yellow in the ground..."

how many kids:"… "

Xiaowang patted her on the back and whispered, "Sister Fan, ask my second brother, he has a good relationship with grandpa, talk to grandpa."

When Fan Xiao heard it, she immediately stared at Erwang with bright eyes. Brother Erwang is amazing. She was worried that she would not be able to get along with Lin Lan, and the cadres of the brigade seemed to be incapable of making any progress. She didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, all of Lin Lan's family are masters, and Erwang can actually influence the party secretary, which is amazing.

Seeing that they were all listless and not having fun, Sanwang shouted, "Mother said that they make leek dumplings at night, let's go."

Dawang took his younger brothers and sisters home together.

Hearing that Lin Lan was making dumplings at home, Xu Dongxing swallowed his saliva and asked, "Did you pick up the dust for us?"

Someone said disappointedly: "Hey, Captain Lin said it nicely, but he didn't take action."

Shen Yu frowned, "We have flour here, buy some leeks and eggs with the brigade and wrap them by yourself, who will wrap them?"

As a result, no one said a word.

Shen Yu snorted coldly, "Don't say that kind of words again!"

Although he was young, he had an aura of his own, and Xu Dongxing stopped talking.

Wu Wenyi began to argue again, "Is there no freedom of speech? Is she acting like a dictator in the village?"

"Wu Wenyi!" Shen Yu glared at him, "If you want to join us, you can start a party yourself. Whoever wants to join him, stand up immediately!"

Wu Wenyi was cowardly again, pouted, "What are you doing, being a squad leader is amazing? I'm afraid of you."

Shen Yu said coldly, "I'm not great, why don't you take the job?"

Wu Wenyi was silent.

Shen Yu: "Don't let me hear you say something like Captain Lin again!"

Wu Wenyi rolled his eyes with the admirable expression of your flattering brigade cadres.

Shen Yu ignored him.

Lin Lan does make dumplings at home. Leek dumplings are the easiest. Make some noodles, cut some leeks, and then smash the egg liquid in the oil and pour it out. Put the stuffing together, add some soy sauce, stir it, and add a little salt. It's basically enough. Leeks and eggs are a perfect match, so it tastes good either way.

When the children got home, they quickly washed their hands to help. The boy rolled out the skin with great strength, and the wheat ears were skillfully wrapped together with Lin Lan.

Lin Lan looked at Dawang and Sanwang who didn't do anything, "Don't go mowing the grass, and learn how to make dumplings."

Dawang: "..." I don't.

Sanwang: "Haha, mother, aren't you afraid of missing a pot?"

Lin Lan stimulated them, "If you miss a pot, you'll miss it. If you don't learn it now, when you get married, you'll have to ask someone to eat dumplings. It's not ashamed? Or do you want to be like those educated youths, and it's hard to eat a meal? "

After all, no one can guarantee the future of the children, so they will definitely have a good life and hire someone to make dumplings for themselves. Besides, even if the conditions are good, making dumplings with the family is a great opportunity to connect with each other.

Like Dawang, who is emotionally reserved and reserved, she is really afraid that she will not be able to find a daughter-in-law in the future. If she had to go on a blind date, she also helped to check. But what if he is madly in love with himself, but won't chase after him? If you can make dumplings, you can also make dumplings together when you are young, so that girls can see that he is cold outside and inside, and he is very homely. What if the girl is too good, and there are a lot of suitors, can my son do it without any skills

Lin Lan really broke the heart of an old mother.

Seeing the rich emotional changes in Lin Lan's eyes, Dawang did not disobey her in the end. He washed his hands and slowly sat down, resignedly picking up a piece of dough and kneading it.

The soft dough felt weird in the hand, making him want to crush it.

Sanwang saw that his eldest brother had accepted his fate, so he had to wash his hands and sit down.

Erwang rolls the dough quickly and effortlessly, and the dumpling skins are round and thin, very beautiful.

Xiaowang also took a piece of noodles to play there, pinching a little rabbit squeak and a little duck quack.

Mai Sui smiled and took a small rolling pin to Da Wang: "Brother for you."

Dawang hesitated for a moment to take it and began to study the small dough.

Erwang smiled and said, "Brother, you roll this little medicine." The big dough is the rolling cake.

The dumpling agent is a small ball, not as big as a wine cup, and as thick as a finger, press it flat, and then start rolling.

Lin Lan saw the eldest son holding a short rolling pin in both hands, his expression serious, his lips pursed, and his eyes sharp and sharp. If you are not convinced, I will break your posture.

Lin Lan: "..."

The eldest son exerted force, twice, and the dose turned into a long boat-like piece of dough sticking to the panel.

Everyone: "… "

Sanwang: "Haha, eldest brother, look at me." He grabbed the rolling pin and began to imitate Erwang's appearance, "Brother, you have to turn it with one hand and roll with the other."

He said it was fine, and he started to exert force on his hands, but as a result, the two hands failed to cooperate, and the medicine was torn apart.

Sanwang: "!"

Intuit does not give face!

"Hahaha" Xiaowang patted the table and laughed, holding his little duck by the way, "Quack quack, roll medicine, blubu, roll it out~~ haha."

Sanwang: "You can!" He gave Xiaowang the rolling pin.

Xiaowang took it and gestured at his little duck. Reluctantly, he took another medicine and slowly began to roll the skin like Erwang did.

Although it was slow, it was decent, and finally a round dumpling skin came out. It's a little thick and a little uneven, but it's a dumpling skin!

Lin Lan immediately complimented him, "Brother Xiao Wang is amazing, he will roll out dumpling wrappers for the first time, hey."

Xiaowang immediately handed over his face and gave his mother a kiss.

Sanwang looked at himself, looked at his big brother, looked at his big brother's face, and then laughed.

Dawang glared at him and snatched the rolling pin back, he couldn't believe it!

He started rolling out the skin.

Erwang had to knead the medicine again to prevent him from getting angry, so he quickly gave him some pointers, "Brother, keep your fingers lightly on the medicine, and don't break it, push the rolling pin hard, don't press, and dumpling wrappers. It was rolled out, not pressed out."

He leaned next to Dawang and taught him hand in hand.

Dawang started rolling the dumpling skins by himself, one became an irregular polygon, one was too thin in the middle, and one was stuck to the rolling pin...

Dawang: "…"

His hands that were holding the rolling pin began to burst with blue veins, and it seemed that the force would break the rolling pin.

Lin Lan quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, eldest son, take your time. In fact, making dumplings is for your own mouth. If you don't want to eat dumplings in the future, it doesn't matter if you don't learn."

Dawang: "..." I want to eat it, but it's not as delicious as dumplings.

Lin Lan continued: "Or when you are seventeen or eighteen, I'll find you a daughter-in-law who can make dumplings?"

Dawang's face turned red instantly, and a few words were squeezed between his teeth: "No! I will!"

Lin Lan was so full of laughter that she had to stimulate him seriously, and then she watched Dawang's hands become flexible, and she could actually roll out dumpling wrappers.

After the first usable dumpling skin came out, Lin Lan said with a smile, "Oh, it's not easy, this dumpling skin has a commemorative meaning."

She went to get the candy jar, "Wrap a candy to commemorate it." She brought the chopsticks again, creased the sides with the square end, and smiled: "It's all dumpling skins, you are extra skinny, I'll give you a stamp ."

children:"… "

Sanwang laughed, "Mother, you are wrong, the dumpling skin doesn't have your skin!"

Lin Lan: "Thank you little third brother, this shows that my mother is as young as you."

This time, Dawang learned how to make dumpling skins, and Lin Lan asked him to learn how to make dumplings next time.

Sanwang said confidently, "Mother, I'm still young, and it's early to marry a daughter-in-law, so don't rush to learn."

Haha, it’s not bad to learn to cook for a few more years.

When Han Qingsong came back, the family was happily making dumplings, looking like they were playing.

Lin Lan also greeted him, "Third brother, come and see our eldest son making dumpling wrappers, he's amazing."

Han Qingsong washed his hands and came in, looked at it, "Not bad."

No more words possible.

Dawang's heart is still sweet.

The wheat ears boil water, and they eat dumplings.

Xiaowang said: "Mother, let's save a few for the sisters to try, they are greedy."

Lin Lan smiled, "Okay, let's keep six per person." Let them taste it, it's exciting, and they can learn to make dumplings by themselves.

Educated youth are all young people, they learn things quickly, and they can make dumplings themselves when they have noodles and vegetables in the future. They can't wait for others for everything.

The leek and egg dumplings are so delicious that the children are full.

After dinner, the children went out to play. Now that the peak season of the tortoise has passed, they went to the educated youth to play. The newly arrived educated youth Ji Xiao was also active and could play together very much.

Lin Lan didn't stick to them, anyway, there was no homework, and long-term knowledge was better than anything else.

Han Qingsong: "Go to the farm today and buy some purlins and straw from Director Song, and deliver them tomorrow."

Lin Lan said in surprise, "Third brother, you are amazing."

Han Qingsong held her hand, pinched the pulp of her finger lightly, and scratched lightly with her fingernails.

Lin Lan was tickled by him and urged him, "Third brother, go and talk to the secretary to make him happy."

"Not urgent."

He pulled her to sit in front of him and looked at her seriously.

Lin Lan looked at him in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"Look at you," he said.

Lin Lan smiled, "Look at me? Don't you know me?" She sat quietly and showed him.

Han Qingsong raised her lower jaw with her hand, so that she could lift her head slightly so that he could see more clearly. Her eyebrows are delicate and long, neat and not cluttered, her thick eyelashes are cute like a child's, her nose is delicate and straight, her mouth is not too small or not, her lips are red and plump, and the corners of her lips are slightly tilted to create a natural smile.

The most agile is the pair of eyes, she can speak, she can use her eyes to convey her thoughts to him. From these eyes, it seems that she can see through her soul, a soul that is open-minded, optimistic, positive and full of love.

His heart became hot and soft, and he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Lin Lan: "Third brother?"

The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and there was a smile in his deep eyes, "It's nothing, look."

Seeing how gentle he was, Lin Lan took him by the hand and went for a walk by the river. The cool breeze came from the water in the autumn evening, not as warm as the summer heat, not as cold as the cold winter, but at this time it was gentle.

After walking for a while, she met Chi Min by the river. She was carrying a basin of clothes, and when she saw the two, she went up to say hello.

Han Qingsong nodded and said to Lin Lan, "I'll go to the branch secretary."

Lin Lan waved at him and greeted Chi Min, "I'm doing laundry."

Chi Min nodded, "Captain Lin, can I… chat with you."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Okay."

They went to sit on the big boulder to talk, and they exchanged a few words first, talking about the current farm work, the work points and helplessness of the educated youth.

Chi Min sighed, "I used to think that I was pretty good, but when I went to the village, I felt that I didn't know anything. I was really incompetent."

Lin Lan comforted her: "How come, everyone has their own strengths, you are good at reading, but not good at farming."

"However, what we are good at is useless. It is said that there is a division of labor in society, and now... we are not needed." A look of pain flashed on her face.

I have studied hard since I was a child, and I will go to university in the future. Even if I can't go to university, I can find a good job. But all of a sudden, he was not allowed to go to university, not to enter the factory, or even to stay in the city. All rushed to the country like ducks, euphemistically called to the vast world to exercise.

Exercise what

She has no strength, can't do farm work, and can't earn work points. If you are destined to work hard, why did you go to school in the first place

If you want to exercise, come to exercise, why do you have to force it if you don't want to come

Teachers are mobilized in schools, at home, and in the streets. Anyway, they want them to actively go to the countryside and go to the wider countryside to build new worlds.

But how could the countryside need them

If they came to be teachers to spread cultural knowledge, it would be difficult, but they came to work hard, and they were the worst at it, and they made the villagers dislike it.

When she was rushing towards a goal with all her strength, she suddenly completely denied it, her ideal and orientation of life was completely subverted, and she no longer knew where to go.

They are a group of people who have been abandoned and despised by schools, families, cities, villages, and everyone.

No one can tell her anguish in her heart. The educated youth compete with each other, and her family will only make her sacrifice. On the contrary, this Captain Lin knows a lot, and seems to have a natural compassion for others. He can understand their inner pain and helplessness, and can also tolerate their anger and struggle.

She talked a lot to Lin Lan, as if she regarded Lin Lan as a tree hole and a psychological counselor.

At the end, she said embarrassedly: "Captain Lin, let you laugh. I'm so excited."

A beautiful girl, sitting there is like a painting, not to mention sad.

Lin Lan encouraged her, "Don't be discouraged, hope is ahead."

Chi Min smiled bitterly, "But... Who knows when. Captain Lin, you, you can understand our pain, right?"

Lin Lan nodded, "I feel the same way, but I can't do anything but sympathy. I'm really sorry."

This is a problem of the social age, and cannot be undone by one person.

Chi Min wiped away her tears and summoned up her courage, "Captain Lin, how about me, I can do publicity with you? I can do whatever you say, I can sing, dance and perform, as long as I can do it."

Although Lin Lan sympathized with these girls who had to go to the ground with their delicate skin and tender flesh, just as she wanted to escape from work when she first got dressed, she was really powerless.

She said apologetically: "Chi Zhiqing, I'm sorry, the propaganda team is also a wild team, and a fixed number of people can't be added."

She can't just set a precedent and accept people arbitrarily. Once this hole is opened, other people will definitely want to take special care, so she can't handle it at all. Just like not entertaining dinner, you should not accept it from the beginning to avoid trouble.

It's not just her who thinks this way, the team leader who has brains will not hand over the clerical jobs such as accounting and scorekeepers to the educated youth.

The fact is that the educated youth do not want to go to the countryside, they despise the countryside, and the brigade does not like the educated youth to go to the countryside.

After all, the land in a village is limited, and the amount of food it can receive is limited. The more people there are, the lower the per capita.

The educated youth is here, you know that the youth did not bring the land!

Chi Min's pretty face collapsed, "Captain Lin, what should we do? Or... Can I be an elementary school teacher?"

Lin Lan smiled apologetically, "There are just a few students, three teachers and members have opinions, and I want to reduce it to one."

The educated youth came in batches, and the school or other places couldn't arrange it at all. They had to support themselves by farming.

Chi Min looked at Lin Lan and seemed to be thinking about the truth of what Lin Lan said, and then she laughed, "Captain Lin, we are really inexperienced, we are new here. Relentless."

Lin Lan could hear her subtext, which was saying conditions. If she helped herself, she would also express herself.

Lin Lan smiled, "Chi Zhiqing, I'm sorry, I really can't do anything."

Chi Min didn't say anything. He had played the emotional card and discussed the conditions. There was really no way to do it.

This Captain Lin is really amazing.

After Lin Lan left, she started to do the laundry, and at this time Gao Lu came to her.

"Did you tell Captain Lin?"

Chi Min nodded, "It's useless."

Gao Lu sneered, "I must just want to help Fan Xiao."

Chi Min looked at her, "How did you talk to Director Dong?"

Gao Lu shook her head, "She refused, saying that she couldn't control it. For the affairs of the brigade, go to the party secretary and chief, and for the publicity team, go to Captain Lin."

The two sat on the big rock with sad faces, "But what should we do? We only have one or two work points, so we won't be exhausted all year long?"

Gao Lu began to envy Huo Hongzhen again, "Why did she have such a good life, she just walked through the back door without making a sound, it's really unbelievable."

Chi Min glanced at her, "There is still a way."

Gao Lu looked at her, "What can I do?"

"Marry, marry someone who has a lot of labor at home. Then you can do laundry and cook at home without having to go to the ground." Chi Min said.

Gao Lu snorted, "Marriage is useless. When the time comes, having children all day long, having to do laundry and cooking, it's better to be alone now. Wouldn't they dare to starve us to death?" She didn't see a decent man in the village either.

Director Han is a good man, but he has a wife and children, Dawang is not bad, but he is still young.

What else

Male educated youth

Shit, they can't feed themselves. Unless he is related and can get himself back to the city.

Besides, if you marry a countryman, you will become a countryman. I'm afraid that you won't have the chance to go back in your life. You are still young, how is that possible!

If you are rich like Fan Xiao, you can get special care if you walk through the back door, otherwise... She glanced at Chi Min, "Hey, you are so beautiful, you can talk to the captain and take care of you."

Chi Min pouted, "Did you not see that the chiefs of the party secretary in the village are all old men?"

Chi Min: "No matter how bad it is, I still recommend going to university."

Gao Lu is not optimistic.

The school only mobilized them to go to the countryside, saying that they would definitely be able to go back in the future, but did not specify the time limit. When the first batch of graduates went to the countryside, the school said they would return to the city every year or two, but they never returned to the city for five or six years. Who knows how long? Maybe eight, ten or twenty years

Although I can recommend colleges now, but there are so many educated youths and advanced members of the commune, some are beautiful, some are better, some are the children of cadres, and some have connections. When will it be my turn

The two are worried about the river together, heavy physical labor, unpalatable meals, low work points, and a hopeless return date. The future is really bleak.

Han Qingsong went to Han Yongfang's house and told him about the materials. At the same time, Han Yongfang also asked him to take care of the training of the educated youth.

Han Qingsong was a little embarrassed: "They are all scholars, can they bear it?"

"What can I do if I can't stand it? It's just one or two divisions of work, what to eat? Can we keep it?" Han Yongfang has been maddened these days, and really wants to return it to them!

Han Qingsong: "Then give it a try."

At this time, Sanwang was playing with Fan Xiao and Shen Yu, chatting and playing the piano.

Shen Yu's mathematics, physics, and chemistry are excellent, and he can talk to Erwang Maisui and can teach them a lot of novel things.

Fan Xiao played the guitar for them. After a while, she played the guitar with Sanwang and Xiaowang, and leaned over and said to Erwang, "Brother Erwang, let me have a few words with you."

Erwang looked at her, "You said."

Fan Xiao was a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, I heard that you have a good relationship with the party secretary."

Erwang: "He treats us well."

Fan Xiao: "But he's the best for you. He still listens to you."

Erwang: "Also... no."

Fan Xiao said in a low voice that he couldn't do physical work, and could he be able to do light work in the future, "Look, if I allocate what I can't do, it's a waste of time and energy, and it's not as good as I can."

Erwang: "That's true. I'll talk to the secretary."

He guessed that the secretary was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep. After all, adding nine adults' mouths, but only the strength of a child, it's not worth it no matter how you look at it. Their grain and oil relationship turned around, and they only had a hundred kilograms of food stamps at the beginning. After that, they only had a share without actual food support, so they still had to be raised by a large team.

Therefore, he can understand the dilemma of the secretary.

Erwang seriously thought about how to arrange these educated youths, and waited for the time to have a good chat with the party secretary.

At this time, the captain came over, and Shen Yu got up in a hurry to meet him.

Captain: "Shen Zhiqing, what the secretary means is that you will start morning exercises with the children of Director Han's family tomorrow morning. After ten days of training, you will be evaluated for work points. If it still doesn't work, you have to find a way."

Shen Yu nodded.

The captain looked again, "Is it okay to eat?"

Shen Yu's face was bitter, "It's good." This morning, I didn't say it at noon, it was all tears. But fortunately, the cooking schedule was arranged. In the beginning, two people took turns to cook, and he, as the squad leader, supervised and taught them every day.

The captain didn't care. As long as his eyebrows weren't on fire, he thought everything was fine, "That's good. I'll get the materials tomorrow to repair the educated youth. In the future, you will both eat and live here and practice and work together. Work hard." He hurriedly left for fear of being caught by the educated youth and begging for mercy.

If you want to cover the educated youth, Shen Yu felt happy for a while.

Fan Xiao and a few were unhappy when they heard it, so the educated youth pointed out... Can we have the comfort of Captain Lin's house

Shen Yu asked several people to tell the other educated youths what the captain said. Xu Dongxing lived in Dong Huaihua's house, and Chi Min and Wu Wenyi lived in Han's sister-in-law's house.

When Sanwang heard that he was going to practice with them, he immediately became energetic and said with a smile, "We will be divided into two teams and we can compete."

Fan Xiao was about to cry again, "Drilling? Drilling? Going to the countryside to practice? Oh my god..."

Sanwang looked at her curiously, "Sister Fan, exercise is good."

Fan Xiao looked like he was helpless, "Brother Sanwang, can I, can I... apply for... special protection?"

Sanwang patted her shoulder solemnly, "Fan Zhiqing, we must rise to the challenge, come on!"

The educated youths all knew that they were going to go out with Director Han tomorrow morning, and the work points would be re-evaluated ten days later, and they were suddenly even more desperate.

After Lin Lan found out, she smiled with Han Qingsong, "You are all young, take it easy, don't practice too hard, take your time."

It's not your own child after all.

Han Qingsong: "Okay."

When the educated youth came back, Mai Sui brought out the dumplings reserved for them, "There are not many, let's try it."

Fan Xiao and Zhao Mingjie were moved to tears, "white dumplings."

So kind.

There are six of them. The first one is almost whole, and the second one tastes it. "Leek eggs are delicious. I never knew that leek eggs are so fragrant."

Fan Xiao started to shed tears again.

Maisui: "..."

After a few people finished eating the dumplings, Fan Xiao said, "Hey, isn't it six for one person? Why did I only eat five? Who among you ate one of me?" She used to give her a pot of dumplings, but now one dumpling is not uncommon. She will also swear to defend it!

No one admitted it, only said that he ate six.

Fan Xiao quit, "Do you know how difficult it is to eat dumplings? You even robbed me? Is it too much?"

Gao Lu sneered: "Who knows if you eat it yourself, we all eat six, and no one eats more."

Lin Lan next to him smiled and said, "Okay, I still have a few here, I'll make up for you."

She made up for Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao was so moved that he began to cry again, "Captain Lin, you are so kind, thank you. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious meal in so many days, woo woo..."

Lin Lan patted her, "Eat, get up early tomorrow morning for morning exercise."

Fan Xiao cried even more, and with tears in his eyes, he ate the most delicious dumplings in his life.

Gao Lu envied Huo Hongzhen very much, "You are so happy, you don't need to be graded, you don't need to do morning exercises, you don't need to go to the ground, hey."

Huo Hongzhen didn't say anything. In this case, she didn't say anything. After all, she did take advantage of it.

Mai Sui also encouraged them, "Don't worry, the production team won't let you do too heavy work. Men do all the hard work, and women do it lightly. Well, my father is actually the scariest."

Fan Xiao was so frightened that he bit the horn in the bed and cried for a long time.
