The next day, Han Qingsong went to the commune 20 minutes earlier than usual, just in time to stop the correspondent going to the county. He put the application form of the Shanzui Village Brigade and the commune documents together, and asked the correspondent to send it to the county revolutionary committee. will go.
After breakfast, Lin Lan went to Dong Huaihua and Liu Chuncai first, and explained the content of the next publicity - about the toxicity of crude cottonseed oil and should not be eaten indiscriminately.
This shocked Dong Huaihua and Liu Chuncai, and Liu Chuncai's face turned pale, "Sister, really?"
Lin Lan nodded, "Eighty percent of it is true, and even 30 percent of it is true. Some people say that a rooster in Kanjia Town turned into a sperm and turned into a hen and began to lay eggs. Don't you believe it?"
Liu Chuncai tugged at his hair, "It's over, I'm going to die!"
Dong Huaihua: "Why, Liu Chuncai, does your family eat cottonseed oil?"
Liu Chuncai nodded, "Eat, my sister brought it back and said it was cheap. My God, what should I do, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's fine, it doesn't take long to eat, and toxins can be eliminated from the body. Besides, how much oil can your family eat? You won't eat it all at once."
Liu Chuncai: "That's right, the whole family eats such a spoon a day, haha, I'm too nervous."
After finishing speaking, Lin Lan didn't bother to help them think about the program. Dong Huaihua summed up the theoretical clichés, and Liu Chun only came up with the jokes. In addition, their publicity team also has Chang Fuyu and Xiuyun non-staff members who can also help.
After discussing with them, Lin Lan went to the brigade. The secretary and the brigade captain are basically at the brigade headquarters during the day. If they are not there, there will be people on duty. After all, they have to receive the staff from the commune from time to time. In addition, there are always people in and out of the brigade to do things, so the brigade cannot be empty.
Shen Yu was there when she went in, and when she saw her coming in, she gave her the seat.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's alright, you're welcome." She told Han Yongfang and the team captain about writing the application to the county.
The brigade captain smiled and said, "Secretary didn't see anything wrong. I know that Captain Lin must be a real person." He knew Han Yongfang. If the brigade had something to ask Han Qingsong to help, he would not be so embarrassed, and he would be suspected of going through the back door. Now let Lin Lan be the team leader. She has something to think about. If they help or not, they are a family, and Han Qingsong will take the initiative to solve her difficulties.
No, the errands like delivering letters have all been taken over.
Hey, who made Director Han hurt his daughter-in-law
Shen Yu also told Lin Lan that he had already asked someone to go to the commune to buy materials for the test, mainly oil residue and caustic soda, as well as pots, vats, basins, and so on.
"Shen Zhiqing is so serious, but it's the blessing of our brigade."
The captains also nodded frequently. This young man Shen Yu was really good. In all, he was the most comfortable among these educated youths.
Shen Yu looked at Lin Lan and said with a smile, "Team leader, can I give you an opinion."
Lin Lan was startled, then nodded, "Of course, you can."
"You..." Shen Yu was a little embarrassed, "Can you stop calling me Shen Zhiqing all the time. You can call me by my name."
The captain also laughed, "Yes, name, Shen Zhiqing always sees things like this."
Lin Lan: "Okay, if you want me to call me by my name, I'll call it by my name. We villagers should always treat you with some respect."
Lin Lan chatted with him about some work, and called her after the experimental materials came.
At this time, the postman's whistle came from outside, and the delivery person came.
Regardless of whether they have their own or not, when the postman arrives, everyone is very curious and goes out to join in the fun.
There was actually a letter from Lin Lan, and several of them were sent by another commune when she read it. It should be the propagandist who was discussing work with her.
The other is the work letters from the educated youth and the brigade, and there are also two letters from the members.
At this time, the educated youths ran out when they heard it.
"A letter, a letter."
The postman took out a list, "Fan Xiao has a package." The packages were all delivered to the commune, and the recipients were asked to pick them up.
Fan Xiao ran over, "My package has arrived? It's been more than a month, so fast." She took the list and couldn't wait for the afternoon, so she immediately went to the commune to pick up the package, and she could still have lunch when she came back.
Lin Lan took the letter and went home. She cooked food first, and opened the letter when the fire was burning. Some people came from the county, and there were people from the region. They had to share their experience with her. It was estimated that they were propaganda red-banners throughout the county. Effect.
One of the letters was well written, telling some interesting anecdotes in the propaganda, and discussing with Lin Lan about the difficulties at work.
Lin Lan looked at the signature, Qi Fengbo. She had a bit of an impression of this person. He was the propaganda leader of the Jiashan Brigade. He was quite literary when he gave a speech that day, and citing scriptures was more prominent among a group of brigade propagandists with a low level of education, so she remembered it.
When the children came back after lunch and went to school, Lin Lan took time to continue knitting sweaters, and was busy running over with Fan Xiao.
"Captain Lin, I'll give you a book." Fan Xiao put a book on the kang.
Lin Lan picked it up and looked at it. It was a book called "Feng Qiuping's Wool Knitting Book", which was published in 49 years.
"This book is really good. Let me borrow it and read it. You can't ask for the book. I'll give it back to you when I run out."
Fan Xiao didn't take it seriously, "Apart from those who know how to knit sweaters, this kind of book is rarely read. Captain Lin, you can take it. It's also a table for me. Haha." She looked at Lin Lan's knitting, and said in surprise: " Captain Lin, you can do it, you can also weave patterns."
Lin Lan: "Isn't this what Mai Sui and Erwang are fiddling with. They dislike the monotony of the anti-acupuncture needle, so they have to do some research."
Fan Xiao watched it for a while, and it was a bit boring. Although she liked nice clothes, she was not keen on making them. She thought it was interesting to play with Mai Sui Erwang and the others, so she said goodbye.
After leaving Lin Lan's house, Fan Xiao ran into Chi Min and Gao Lu who were washing clothes in the river.
Gao Lu pouted, turned her head and left.
When she was like this, Fan Xiao naturally ignored her and raised her head higher to the educated youth point.
Gao Lu said angrily, "Chi Min, do you think she has been recommended by the university for next year?" She must have gone to give a gift to Captain Lin just now.
The principles of the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers are: voluntary registration, recommendation by the masses, approval by leaders, and review by the university. What it means is that the brigade recommends, the commune approves, and then the school reviews it again.
Now Lin Lan's family has a very high status in Shanzui Village. If she recommends it, then Fan Xiao can definitely go to university.
Chi Min: "If she wants to go to university, her family won't let her go? There's no need to find Captain Lin yourself."
Gao Lu whispered: "I found out that her family is over, her parents were locked up, her brother was driven to the southwest, and her brother went to the Great Northern Wilderness. Don't tell anyone, I finally found out. "
Chi Min glanced at her, "Her brother also went to the countryside?"
"That's fake? Or does she need to come to this place where birds don't shit?"
"Then who sent her the package?"
"Maybe her relatives."
The two left talking.
In late autumn, it got dark early, and it was a little cloudy, so it was only half past three and it was hard to see in the house.
Lin Lan felt that it was better to install a glass window at home. This kind of wooden lattice window was too shading, and the room was dark. She put down her sweater and went out, rubbed her eyes, stretched her body, and heard the voices of children outside.
Han Qingsong pushed a bicycle and came back with the children.
Lin Lan: "Oh, you are all so early today?"
Han Qingsong: "Today's training, I caught a few hares, I'll come back early if I have nothing to do."
Sanwang was a little lethargic: "It's so dark in the classroom that I can't see clearly. The teacher said that I would go home and recite the homework."
Lin Lan looked at it, "Where are Sister Mai and the second brother?"
Sanwang pouted, "Now that they are getting along with Shen, we don't care." He pouted and looked a little disappointed.
Lin Lan pinched his face: "Don't talk nonsense, my brother and sister are studying with Shen Zhiqing, you should study more."
Sanwang: "We don't understand soap or physical chemistry."
Lin Lan laughed sour when he heard his words, and rubbed his head, "Then when you go swimming, don't you leave your brothers and sisters behind and just let yourself be happy?"
Sanwang was right when he thought about it, he took Xiaowang's hand, "Brother Xiaowang, start swimming with me tomorrow."
Xiaowang smiled, "But it's cold, I'm afraid of catching a cold. If I catch a cold, my parents should be worried. I don't want my mother to worry."
Sanwang: "Then wait for me on the shore."
Xiaowang: "That's ok."
The two of them agreed.
Lin Lan wanted to pick up the hare's ears that were tied to her feet in the basket, but Han Qingsong hurriedly held her hand, "Be careful."
The rabbit grinned and almost bit Lin Lan's hand, Han Qingsong grabbed its ears very quickly and carried it out.
Sanwang and Xiaowang's attention was attracted, "Haha, what a fat big hare!"
Xiaowang happily went to hug the rabbit, but he was kicked by the hare and sat on the ground with a plop.
Xiaowang: "!" He was a little stunned by the kick.
Lin Lan quickly helped Xiaowang up and rubbed his chest, "Are you alright."
Xiaowang shook his head, "Mother, if it doesn't hurt, just startle me."
Sanwang pointed at the hare and scolded: "You bad rabbit!"
Xiao Wang pulled him, "Little third brother, we don't have the same knowledge as it, it's going to be eaten by us, how pitiful."
Sanwang looked at Xiaowang, looked at the rabbit, forget it, I should be embarrassed to eat others.
At this time, Mai Sui and Er Wang also came back from the educated youth point.
Sanwang: "Why did you two come back so early?"
Mai Sui: "The laboratory is fine, let's come back and help my mother cook."
Sanwang: "You two just play, I and my eldest brother help my mother cook."
Lin Lan pursed her lips and smiled. I don't know who wasn't happy that my sister and brother left him to find Shen Yu to play with.
The two also saw the big fat wild rabbit, Mai Sui: "Dad, why don't we keep it?"
Han Qingsong: "The hares can't survive."
Erwang laughed, "Better, there is meat to eat."
Sanwang: "Mother, why don't we... Hey, stew in the middle of the night?" I still remember that time when I ate snake meat, the whole family ate it very deliciously in the middle of the night, as if it was especially delicious when I woke up at night.
Xiaowang: "Ha, you guys want to steal food behind my back again."
Sanwang: "We'll keep it for you. Haha."
"However, it's delicious when everyone eats together." Xiao Wang said seriously: "Seeing that you eat deliciously, I think it's especially delicious. It's not good to eat it by yourself."
Lin Lan immediately hugged Xiaowang: "Brother Xiaowang, Mother apologizes to you, and I won't be greedy to eat in the middle of the night again."
Xiao Wang touched Lin Lan's face and shook his head with a smile, "Mother, it's okay, it's more delicious to eat in the middle of the night."
Lin Lan kissed him: "Good son, really caring."
Xiaowang: "But... remember to call me after eating in the middle of the night!"
Everyone laughed.
Lin Lan said with a smile: "If you don't eat it in the middle of the night, just make it at night and let Dad handle it."
Mai Sui and Xiao Wang didn't dare to look at it, Er Wang didn't care, but Da Wang and San Wang were very excited and took the initiative to help Han Qingsong with a knife and a pot.
Han Qingsong carried the hare, took Dawang and Sanwang and killed the rabbits by the river, washed and peeled them, he also broke them into pieces and put them in the pot, and brought them back for Lin Lan to do.
The children asked how to eat.
Lin Lan looked at the expectant eyes of the children, "Let's make a pot of spicy food and a pot of non-spicy food, just eat whatever you want." Usually hares are not big, but this one is very plump. The autumn harvest was booming a while ago. Lin Lan wanted to make a spicy rabbit meat to treat him. In addition, the bones and other meats were braised and stewed in a pot of potatoes and beans.
She picked off the meat of the four legs and cut them into small pieces and kneaded them with salt, while the rest was cut into pieces, and then asked Erwang to take a large handful of chili peppers, cut them with scissors, and put them in a large bowl and poured them into boiling water.
Mai Sui took the initiative to set the fire, and San Wang came over and smiled: "Sister, let me set the fire for you, I will burn now."
Mai Sui: "Yeah, you love doing housework so much."
Sanwang: "I don't want you and the second brother to feel the warmth of home more."
Mai Sui laughed and pinched his nose, "Don't play tricks, what bad ideas are you playing?"
Sanwang naturally didn't admit that he looked at the good relationship between his brother and sister and Shen Yu, and he was a little tasteful. Although they used to play separately, but every day they went to school and went to school together, and they all had meals together. The point is, even if my brother and sister played with others, they didn't have such a good relationship with Shen Yu.
He always had a feeling that Shen Yu was their elder brother, but he fell behind.
But he's older, so I'm embarrassed to say it now.
Soon the water boiled, and Lin Lan threw the rabbit meat into the water to blanch the blood, and fished it on the fence to control it.
"Little third brother, you love burning fire so much, come and light the stove in the east."
Sanwang immediately ran over to set it on fire.
When the pot is hot, Lin Lan pours a tablespoon of oil, adds Sichuan pepper aniseed and sautes until fragrant, then adds the rabbit meat and stir-fries, then adds the shallots, ginger, and homemade pickled peppers and stir-fries until the rabbit meat comes out of oil. Add soy sauce, sugar, basil leaves, chopped red peppers, etc. and stir-fry for a while. Finally, pour in the water for soaking the peppers, bring to a boil over high heat, cover the pot and simmer over low heat.
Erwang also brushed out the pot in Xijian, and made braised rabbit meat, stewed potatoes and beans according to Lin Lan's instructions.
Lin Lan washed her hands and gestured with the knitted sweater on Han Qingsong's body. At this moment, Mai Sui remembered and took out a handkerchief from her pocket, "Mother, Sister Fan gave me a handkerchief."
With a flick of her hand, she unfolded the handkerchief.
Lin Lan thought it was the one bought by the supply and marketing agency.
The handkerchief is one foot square, above which is the idyllic scenery of the Northland, the wheat waves are rolling, a field road extends to the front of the farmyard, the dog, the fence, the red almond tree, the apricot tree covered with fruit, and the happy face of the farmhouse holding a sickle. A couple, a girl in a red coat, a little boy with a bare bottom. There is actually embroidery on the reverse side. It is a scene of the south of the Yangtze River. A peach blossom on a small bridge and flowing water slants towards the water. A awning boat swaying on the river, with a young man in white clothes and black hair standing on the bow.
The snow-white silk background and the delicate embroidery thread are shining in the light, and those pictures are as lively as they are alive.
Lin Lan knew at a glance that this was the famous double-sided embroidery, and the composition on it was complex and exquisite, definitely not something ordinary people could embroider.
"We can't have this girl, it's too precious."
Although Mai Sui didn't understand it, he knew at a glance that the veil was unusual and nodded, "I didn't expect it to be so good, so I'll send it back to Sister Fan."
Lin Lan said, "I'll give her a lunch box of rabbit meat."
Although Fan Xiao didn't buy her family's meals later, the delicious wheat ears at home would still quietly give Fan Xiao some. Lin Lan knew or pretended not to know, she respected the friendship of the children.
Mai Sui: "Mother, why don't we invite Sister Fan and Brother Shen Yu to eat at home."
If it was given to Fan Xiao, she would definitely be hiding somewhere to eat it. Fan Xiao never shared the meals delivered by Lin Lan's family with the people who were ordered by the educated youth. She felt that everyone had such a good relationship, and it was not good to call him Fan Xiao or not Shen Yu. Huo Hongzhen doesn't eat at the educated youth's order now, but eats with Han Qingping and a few like Huo Yuan, she doesn't have to call.
Lin Lan: "Also."
Mai Sui went to the educated youth point, invited Fan Xiao on the grounds of asking Tanji to teach Xiaowang to paint, and invited Shen Yu to go home on the grounds of discussing soap experiments.
As soon as Fan Xiao heard it, she knew that she had been invited to dinner, and she was so excited that it was dawn.
Shen Yu also knew that he was inviting them to dinner, but he felt that with so many children in Lin Lan's family, it was inappropriate to invite Fan Xiao to go again. Furthermore, he was the monitor, if he went to Lin Lan's house instead of the educated youth during the meal time, some people would inevitably have to guess, which would have an impact on Lin Lan.
He smiled and said, "I happen to have something to call Captain Lin. I'll go over after dinner."
Mai Sui smiled and didn't mind.
Fan Xiao: "Shen Yu, keep me some food, I have to eat when I come back."
Hmph, even if you don't eat it, it's not cheap for some people.
On the way, Mai Sui returned the handkerchief to Fan Xiao, "If you give me a handkerchief from a supply and marketing cooperative, I want it, but this is not acceptable."
Fan Xiao: "Why not?"
"It's too precious."
"Where is it expensive? Where is it heavy?"
Mai Sui: "My mother said that this is double-sided embroidery, and it is precious."
Fan Xiao: "Just like Captain Lin knitting a sweater, this thing is embroidered at home, it's really not expensive, don't worry about it."
"That's also double-sided..."
"Okay, this is really embroidered at home. Let me tell you, I have an aunt who likes to embroider all her life. She has embroidered several large boxes, and our family has a lot of hands. I think this is very suitable for you, you I’m looking forward to a lot of wheat ears.” She laughed, “I really think this suits you, but if it weren’t for the lack of good paints and canvases, I’d paint one for you. But this one is fine.”
Seeing that Mai Sui was still embarrassed, she smiled and said: "Okay, don't always listen to what adults say. When adults measure whether something is valuable or not, it's worth it. In fact, isn't our friendship more valuable than this? I think you are right. Mine is good, a hundred handkerchiefs are not enough. If I know it myself, I will embroider one for you, and it is not uncommon to take someone else's. It's a pity, huh, I sew the buttons."
When she said that, Mai Sui laughed.
"Then I will embroider one for you later." Mai Sui said.
Fan Xiao shook his head, "Forget it."
Mai Sui: "Why, do you despise my embroidery?"
Fan Xiao laughed, "How come, I think this thing is so good to embroider, I don't know how tired my eyes are, I think knitting sweaters is boring enough. If you want to give me one, or give me one of your own Paint, or help me make a nice dress."
Mai Sui: "Isn't it a long time ago to make skirts?"
Fan Xiao was afraid that she would continue to struggle, so he pulled her away quickly, "I'm so greedy, let's go."
Speaking of eating rabbit meat, Fan Xiao was so happy that he didn't need to turn on the lights when walking at night, and those eyes were like light bulbs.
At this time, Han Qingsong came over from the West River.
Seeing Han Qingsong, Fan Xiao subconsciously stood at attention and said hello loudly, like a primary school student.
Mai Sui was taken aback by her sudden movement, "Sister Fan, if you don't train now, you don't have to."
Fan Xiao: "I'm not afraid of thorns." She held Mai Sui's hand, feeling that she could gain a lot of security.
Just walking to the shadow wall, San Wang, who was hiding there, jumped out from the shadow wall, "Ha!"
Children like to hide and scare people, and when they are frightened, they shudder and laugh proudly.
Mai Sui is used to this kind of trick and doesn't take it seriously.
Fan Xiao was frightened, she stroked her chest and laughed, "Mom, what if you want to scare my soul away, little third brother? You have to pay me."
Xiaowang smiled and said, "Auntie can call her soul, so she will call you. When I fell into the water, she was the one who called her back." It was Xiu Yunniang. Children are convinced of such superstitions.
Fan Xiao was very curious, "Can you really call the soul back?"
Sanwang: "Then... you have to lose your soul first."
Fan Xiao: "… "Thank you, I don't want to give up.
Lin Lan smiled at Fan and said, "Fan Xiao, don't listen to him fooling around, hurry into the room."
Fan Xiao went into the room to greet Dawang and Erwang, and found that Dawang was stuffing chili peppers into his mouth. The fiery red chili peppers were just... eaten by him. She suddenly felt a hot feeling in her stomach like a conditioned reflex.
Dawang ate the chili with a blank face and greeted her.
When seated, Fan Xiao discussed with Xiao Wang, she sat there, and Xiao Wang went to sit with Lin Lan.
Xiaowang asked curiously, "Sister Fan, why don't you sit with my mother?"
Can Fan Xiao say that I am afraid to sit across from your father and dare not pick up vegetables? She smiled and said, "I want to sit between you and the third brother."
Sanwang nodded: "Zhong, sit here. Hey, if you lose your soul, I can help you pick it up."
…
Fan Xiao: "..." You don't have to pick it up, I can carry it myself.
Lin Lan: "Little third brother, be serious, don't talk nonsense every day."
Sanwang: "Mother, where am I talking nonsense, how serious I am."
Xiaowang: "Your pomegranate daughter-in-law, will you give you pomegranate dolls to eat?"
Sanwang: "... I'll give it away next year."
Fan Xiao didn't know what was going on.
Sanwang: "That's not good, you are a girl, I can't tell you."
Fan Xiao: "..."
Lin Lan: "Let's eat quickly, don't listen to his nonsense."
Dawang didn't listen to their nonsense, and as soon as the meal started, he immersed himself in the plate of spicy rabbit meat that Lin Lan made for him. Rabbit meat has few bones, and the meat is tender and juicy. After stir-frying, it is fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside. With the addition of seasonings, the chili is even more spicy and fragrant. Eating it has a different kind of satisfaction, which makes people want to stop.
He not only ate rabbit meat, but also chili peppers, sweat dripping from the tip of his nose and a touch of red on his cheeks.
Lin Lan likes to eat potatoes and beans in the stew, which is full of the aroma of the meat, so it shouldn't be too fragrant!
Fan Xiao ate it with tears in his eyes, "It's so delicious!"
Xiaowang gave her a piece of rabbit meat, "Sister Fan, if it's delicious, you can eat more."
Sanwang gave her a big chili: "Sister Fan, it's more delicious."
Mai Sui: "I said third brother, you talk the most, and you didn't delay eating meat."
Sanwang smiled proudly, his mouth greasy, "That's right, it's called skill."
Erwang: "Today's interesting rabbit legs and lentils stewed with rabbit meat."
There is a kind of white-skinned lentils, which the local members call rabbit legs. The meat is full of seeds and big, and it is delicious when stewed.
Fan Xiao remembered, "I know a kind of kidney bean from the northeast called Rabbit Rolling Eyes, haha, is it the same family with this rabbit leg?"
The children were curious about how the rabbit rolled his eyes.
Fan Xiao shook his head: "I haven't seen it before, I just heard about it. Rabbit stewed with pork belly and potatoes rolls his eyes. It's probably similar to our pot of rabbit legs stewed with rabbit meat."
After a while, Lin Lan was full, and Fan Xiao put down his chopsticks.
Sanwang: "Sister Fan, eat more."
Fan Xiao: "Thank you little third brother, I'm full, it's so fragrant, I've never eaten such fragrant rabbit meat in my life!"
Lin Lan found that Fan Xiao was well educated at the dining table. Although he liked to eat, he didn't eat too much, and his appetite was not as big as Sanwang's.
She took out the hawthorn cake she made for them to eat Xiaoshier, and also made hawthorn water for Han Qingsong and Dawang to drink. These two people disdain to eat such sweet and sour children's snacks.
After dinner, everyone was digesting food in the yard and listening to the radio, when Shen Yu came over.
Lin Lan invited him to dinner, Shen Yu said that he had eaten, and took out his notebook to show her, "I have listed the test steps and details, the team leader will see if there is any problem, if there is no problem, we will start tomorrow morning. "
Lin Lan, Mai Sui, Er Wang, and Shen Yu gathered around the table in the main room to discuss.
Han Qingsong went to fetch water, while Dawang went to do his homework.
Xiaowang pulled Fan Xiao and Sanwang to look at his sketches.
At first, Xiaowang's paper was not good and was too slippery, so Lin Lan got him that kind of rough-edged paper, and now he draws in a decent manner.
Fan Xiao has taught him the basic knowledge, such as perspective, light and shadow, light and shade, etc. Xiaowang has also learned it very seriously. Fan Xiao asked him to draw eggs, or to draw apples, hawthorns, pears, and even sweet potatoes. He was very obedient and did everything.
Sanwang always says that there is something good to paint, isn't it just an egg, but when Xiaowang is immersed in the painting, he forgets the outside world.
There were so many times that he felt that he and Xiao Wang would not be able to play together.
When he was a child, he ran after his eldest brother, and later he took Xiaowang to play. The elder sister and the second brother have been cooking at home with their mother, and he felt that the family was really good together. But now he feels that his elder sister and second elder brother are having a good time with Shen Yu and Fan Xiao. For some reason, he is a little melancholy.
Now he feels that he and Xiaowang may not be on the same line.
Singing and playing the harmonica, he can also participate in one or two. For example, Xiaowang plays the harmonica and he sings, or the two of them sing a duet.
When Xiaowang was immersed in those dark lines, Sanwang felt that Xiaowang had a mysterious power, a power that was even more mysterious than the way he used toot lala to express his feelings. If you rub yourself, you will be criticized for dirty lines, but Xiaowang can get everyone's praise by rubbing and smearing.
Because Xiaowang can turn those black pencils into eggs, duck eggs, ground eggs, sweet potatoes...
Too he... 嫲岲 is amazing!
Hey, it's kind of sad to think about it.
He does not understand some psychological problems in growing up, and his heart is big and sensitive, and it is easy to have some unique emotions.
After breakfast the next day, Han Qingsong went to work and the children went to school. Lin Lan worked hard at home to knit a sweater for a while, and the brigade sent someone to call her.
Lin Lan knew that Shen Yu was ready, so she put down her sweater and hurried over. Han Yongfang, the captain, Erwang and Mai Sui have arrived, and they are all very excited.
The laboratory is ready, mainly oil residue, caustic soda, salt, and the container for heating.
Han Yongfang said: "The technology must be kept secret. In the future, without your permission, no idle people will be allowed to come to the laboratory."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Secretary, it doesn't matter. Soap doesn't have a big secret. Everyone can make it. Raw materials and sales are the key."
"That also has to be serious and cautious." Han Yongfang insisted that in the past, only the masters could enter those workshops and ingredient rooms.
Shen Yu nodded: "Okay, listen to the secretary."
Han Yongfang, "Let's start."
Maisui helped to light the fire, Erwang put a small iron pot on the fire, Shen Yu added water and caustic soda according to the proportion, slightly heated to melt the lye, then added the oil residue and continued to stir with hotter to complete the saponification, if not completely, continue Add lye.
At this time, a stench came out, and everyone covered their noses.
Lin Lan pinched her nose, "If I have to give birth in the future, I will have to change the place." It's so stinky, it will make people faint in the village.
Everyone pinched their noses.
Han Yongfang: "Come here with the barefoot doctor to order a mask."
Lin Lan reminded Shen Yu, "Adding alcohol to it can saponify faster and more fully."
Alcohol can make oil melt into lye faster. She once helped her best friend make handmade soap and memorized the simple steps.
In fact, it is not difficult to make soap. It is nothing more than putting the oil in the lye to complete the saponification, then adding salt for salting out, and then standing to obtain the soap base. You can repeat the steps to purify to get better quality soap. The key is to be careful and patient, and master the ratio of heat and raw materials.
After saponification, it needs to stand for a period of time, depending on the amount of material.
Lin Lan rubbed her eyes, "This smell is spicy." She looked at Mai Sui and Erwang, "Can you two do it?" Mai Sui was a bit of a clean freak, and she was afraid that her daughter wouldn't be able to stand it.
Mai Sui said with a smile: "Mother, it's okay, it's not like entering the abalone shop, I haven't smelled it for a long time, we won't be able to smell it if we stay for a long time."
Unexpectedly, she could speak ancient prose at such a young age, and Shen Yu laughed, "Okay, it will take about two hours to wait, and I will take care of it at that time. After the salting and purification, it will be left to stand overnight, and you can watch it the next day. On to the soap."
After salting out, it needs to stand for a longer time. If the quantity is large, it will take a night. If there are any deficiencies, you have to return to the pot and warm it again, so someone needs to check it from time to time.
It's almost like a pot every day and night.
Lin Lan: "Why don't we work shifts?" Although the team leader was in charge of signing and the deputy team leader was working, Lin Lan was embarrassed and asked Shen Yu herself.
Shen Yu: "No, I'm close, just let Wu Wenyi come with me."
After the salt precipitation, Lin Lan and Erwang Maisui still went to have a look at night. After all, it was the first experiment, and they were also curious, if they couldn't see the result, they would not be able to sleep. They helped to pour the fully precipitated soap into a square tin box and let it sit overnight for a second look.
Glycerol can be extracted from the oil residue sewage of purified soap. Glycerol is the material for making basic skin care products, and it cannot be wasted. All these need to be studied by technicians.
Because of the soap business, Lin Lan and the three returned at about ten o'clock, and the three Dawang brothers fell asleep long ago.
They washed quickly and slept on the kang lightly.
Lin Lan took good care of her personal hygiene, took off her coat before going to the kang, climbed up on the kang, and sniffed it herself, "Third brother, do you smell my stink?"
She always felt that there was still a smell of boiled oil residue in the laboratory.
Han Qingsong put her in his arms and sniffed, "It's fragrant." He looked at her smiling eyes again, moist and moist, "It's beautiful."
Lin Lan smiled, he was really a lover, and kissed the corner of his lips, "I hope that when I get old, my face is full of folds and white hair, the third brother also thinks that I am fragrant and good-looking."
Han Qingsong kissed her.
She was getting younger and younger, but he was afraid that he would be too old to catch up with her.
In the early morning of the second day, Han Qingsong took the child to the morning exercise as usual. After the morning exercise, Dawang was doing strength training outside. Sanwanglang had to swim in the river. Xiaowang was sweating. Han Qingsong told him not to follow him when he went home. Sanwang go.
Erwang and Mai Sui called Lin Lan to go to the educated youth station, "Mother, the soap will be ready today, let's go and have a look."
Lin Lan: "You go first, I'll finish the meal."
Mai Sui looked at it, so there were only Xiaowang and Dad at home.
She smiled at Xiaowang: "Brother Xiaowang, you can burn the fire."
Xiaowang wiped his face and hair with a towel, "Okay."
Mai Sui smiled, "Brother Wang is so nice, I owe you a piece of candy."
Xiaowang: "Go ahead and leave the house to me."
Lin Lan was also excited. She didn't know if the soap was successful. She and Han Qingsong said hello and left with the children.
Looking at the backs of the three mothers leaving in a hurry, Xiao Wang sighed and said to Han Qingsong: "Dad, what the third brother said is right, this family has to rely on us men to support it."
Han Qingsong silently looked back, regretting that he shouldn't have let her go last night. He went to cut up the pickles that Lin Lan had not yet had time to cut on the chopping board, and washed the excess salt with cold boiled water.
Xiaowang: "Hey..."
Han Qingsong: "..."
After a while, Dawang and Sanwang came back one after the other and saw Xiaowang and Han Qingsong sitting opposite each other at the dining table.
Xiaowang: "Hey..."
Han Qingsong: "..."
Dawang: "?" What's going on
Sanwang: "Hahaha, what about the women? Is this family a man's world?"
He had already figured out that the man and his boyfriend wouldn't run away if his mother had a father. The eldest brother, sister, and second brother will go to junior high school and high school when they grow up, and they will eventually leave, but as long as their parents are there, they will still come back.
So he's not melancholy anymore, he's quite happy. But it seems that Xiao Wangge is melancholy
Xiao Wang: "Hey... My glasses are fogging up again. The third brother, the second brother is a man."
Sanwang whispered: "Isn't he in the women's circle?"
Dawang glared at him and wiped his hair, "Dad, you should eat first." He still has to go to work.
Just as Han Qingsong was about to speak, he saw his younger son resting his cheeks with his hands, his big black eyes looking at him sympathetically from behind the foggy lenses, and by the way, "Hey..."
Han Qingsong: "...Let's eat first."
Dawang lifted the pot and took the meals of several of them. The other pancakes and sweet potatoes were left hot in the pot, and he took out some pickles, stewed eggs, salted duck eggs, etc.
The father and son ate very tastelessly this breakfast, and even Sanwang was silent.
After Dawang finished eating, he looked at the two younger brothers and signaled why they hadn't eaten well.
Sanwang: "...Why is it so boring? Who cooked the meal today?" He looked at his elder brother, thinking it was his elder brother.
Dawang glared at him.
Xiaowang: "Mother did it."
Sanwang: "Impossible, I don't know how delicious my mother's cooking is. It's definitely not my mother's cooking." He looked at Han Qingsong again.
Han Qingsong ignored him, "Go to school after eating."
Sanwang estimated the time, "Father, are you still not going to work?"
Han Qingsong: "..." I want you to take care of it!
So the father and son finished their meal and sat opposite each other at the dining table without moving, always feeling as if something was missing.
Xiaowang: "Hey..."
Sanwang: "Ha..."
At this time, Lin Lan's laughter came from outside, "Really, haha, that's great."
Mai Sui: "Mother, there will be soap in our house in the future, you can use it hard."
Erwang: "Let's make some more fragrant pancreas, which is more expensive."
The three of them came back talking and laughing, and when they walked to the door, they found that the atmosphere in the room was a bit weird. Is it a bit heavy
The four people in the house turned to look at the three of them, their eyes filled with resentment.
Lin Lan: "... What are you... doing?"
Mai Sui and Er Wang couldn't laugh anymore, "What's the matter?"
Han Qingsong stood up, "No, waiting for you to eat."
Dawang got up to help bring the food out of the pot, and sat down again.
Sanwang: "Mother, if you're not at home, we don't eat well!"
When he said this, several people smacked their hearts, and that's what happened.
Xiaowang immediately ran over and held Lin Lan's hand, "Mother, eat quickly, my father misses you."
Lin Lan: "..." It's not a meal together at the end of the year, why don't you see me in such a short time
Mai Sui and Er Wang took out the food in the pot, the three of them sat down, and Xiao Wang sat next to Lin Lan again, eating deliciously. "Well, this stewed egg is really fragrant! Mother, try it."
Lin Lan: "Isn't it the same as yesterday?"
Xiaowang: "Today is extraordinarily fragrant."
Having said that, Sanwang also sat down and started to eat, "Dad, why don't you eat too, this meal is delicious again."
Mai Sui: "What are you doing!"
Erwang: "That's right. It's delicious to eat in the field during the autumn harvest."
Sanwang glanced at him and laughed.
Seeing that Han Qingsong hadn't left, Lin Lan looked at her watch and reminded him, "Third brother, it's time to go to work."
Han Qingsong responded and put the bag on his back and came out.
Lin Lan was going to see him off, but he came over and sat down beside her, letting her continue to eat.
Lin Lan: What's wrong, why is it so strange.
Lin Lan didn't eat much for breakfast. The millet porridge had already cooled down for a few sips, and then she ate some sweet potatoes and pickles. After the meal, she said to the children, "I will clean up the tableware and chopsticks by myself, you should go to school quickly."
The children went to the house to take up their schoolbags to say goodbye to their parents, and the five of them happily went out to school together.
Lin Lan sent Han Qingsong to work and told him about the success of soap, "Thank you third brother for helping us deliver the letter, we can continue production after solving the problem of raw materials."
At this time, the shortage of materials and sales is not a problem, and the key oil residue, caustic soda, and salt cannot be cut off. She wrote to the county party committee not only to contact the oil residue, but also to ask the county party committee to specify the size of the sideline of the brigade. After the scale is determined, their raw material supply is also determined. For the sideline business of making small troubles in the brigade, applying for caustic soda and salt will be limited by the brigade's population and public grain tasks. If there is an instruction from the county party committee, it will be more flexible.
Han Qingsong was not in a hurry to leave, just stood there and listened to her.
Lin Lan patted him after speaking, "Let's go, I'll pack up and go to the brigade."
He wrapped his arms around her waist, "Work hard and take rest."
It was very hard to do publicity in the first place, but now with the sideline business of the brigade, he was afraid that she would be too tired. But he knew that she was doing very energetically, so he wouldn't hold back.
Lin Lan laughed, "I know, let's go."
After Han Qingsong left, Lin Lan went back to the laboratory to clean up.
Two days later, Han Qingsong took back the instructions from the county party committee. Not only did he contact the refinery to provide sludge, but he also set a sideline scale for the Shanzui Village Brigade—a small processing plant. This means that they are the scale of small factories, not ordinary large-scale handicrafts. If they have funds, they can buy machinery at that time.
With the support of the county party committee, the soap factory in Shanzui Village started construction at a rapid pace, and dispatched labor from its five production teams to work.
Their first batch of soap came out. Because it was a test product, it didn't sell very well. It just happened to be sold to members at a low price as a welfare benefit.
Afterwards, they adjusted according to the actual situation. Under the control of Lin Lan and Shen Yu, the second batch, the third batch of soaps after that were very successful.
Most of their soaps are handed over to the commune to complete the task of the brigade's sideline, and enter the distribution channel of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Therefore, the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune and the various teams have included soap as a welfare program, and they will distribute soap to employees during festivals.
As a result, the soap factory produced by Shanzui Village Brigade's soap factory is in short supply. Even so, Shen Yu refused to stop, he took the technical team to start developing new products, and is currently researching the fragrant pancreas that washes his face.
Just like that, in a blink of an eye, we entered the twelfth lunar month.
In the twelfth lunar month, the dripping water turns into ice, but the soap factory is in full swing.
Lin Lan had to go around to promote the promotion, and she also had to visit the soap factory from time to time. As a result, it was a cat-like winter in the winter. Instead, she lost a lot of weight, and her already pointed chin became more and more pointed.
On the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Qingsong rode a bicycle to the soap factory in the afternoon and then went home with Lin Lan. He took off his military coat and wrapped it around her, and then wrapped her hat and scarf.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "I've been wrapped into a bear by you." She tiptoed and didn't get on the seat!
Han Qingsong held the handlebar with his left hand, stretched his right arm and hugged her onto the seat, then lifted his legs and got into the car to go home.
Although it was icy and snowy, he rode steadily and felt very secure.
Arriving in the village, Han Qingsong saw an army green jeep parked at the brigade headquarters, and glanced at the license plate with a familiar number.
Lin Lan also saw, "Where did the big cadres come from?" At this time, it was not ordinary soldiers who could be equipped with jeeps.
Han Qingsong took her to turn around to have a look. When he got to the front, he stretched his long legs and let Lin Lan get down. He got out of the car and went to greet the driver.
Lin Lan listened to the movement of the educated youth and went to take a look, but when she saw that Fan Xiao came out crying, just like when she came.
Lin Lan was surprised: "Fan Xiao, what's going on?"
