Lin Lan's mind twirled quickly, and suddenly remembered one of the many documents.
It said that the area of Fangshan in Changle, Weifang is rich in sapphire. Over the years, there will be small blue stones that have been washed out in the mountains, and some of them will flow into the riverbed.
But people didn't understand it at the time. Some people picked it up and took it home and used it as a flint. Because there were plenty of sparks, it was called a blue flint. Anyway, many local people have picked up a lot of blue flint, some eggs are big, some pigeon eggs are big. But they don't understand, either they lost it, or they were later taken away by outsiders at a low price.
In the mid-1980s, Chinese people discovered the value of sapphire, and many knowledgeable people went to buy it at a low price. A stone can be bought for four or five yuan, and the quality is very good. It was not until the 1990s that the government began to pay attention. In 1993, the Gem City was established, and in 1996, a local gem association was established, requiring proper mining.
It looks like the place she's wearing should be similar to that. Maybe there is a sapphire mine or riverbed near her home, isn't Pingdingshan
She suddenly didn't want to go to work in the commune, she was going to look for this kind of stone quietly!
Find it tomorrow!
The children looked at Lin Lan for a while with a smile and light in their eyes, as if they had picked up two big fat pigs and a thousand catties of grain.
Xiaowang tugged at Lin Lan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"
Lin Lan immediately returned to her senses and smiled, "Come on, tell my mother where you picked up this stone? I think it's pretty, and I like it. I'll look for one when I go back."
Erwang: "Mother, no, we found this useful, we searched many places, but never found it again."
Lin Lan's dream of making a fortune was instantly shattered, hey, she was indeed a Smurfs living in the folk. It seems that the ore vein is really not near their home, and this ore fell here unintentionally. Then she... just ask quietly to see where there are more blue stones like this.
She whispered, "I look at this stone and it's really beautiful. I'll pick it up later, okay?"
The children nodded: "Okay."
Lin Lan was overjoyed, as if she had made a fortune, "Give this to eldest brother first, let him use it as a lighter." She asked the children to rest early, and they have to get up early tomorrow.
When the children went on the kang and turned off the lights, she returned to the room on the kang, smiling.
Han Qingsong put down the book in his hand and looked at her, "So happy?"
Lin Lan leaned on his shoulder and smiled. There is a fist-sized piece of sapphire ore at home. Although it will not be released within 20 years, it is a family heirloom. In the future, it can be polished into sapphire, and it will be satisfying to look at. What a happy thing, you will wake up with a smile when you dream.
Han Qingsong took her in his arms and rubbed her, "Let's be happy together."
Lin Lan: ... Stop it, your happiness is not the same as my happiness.
His dark eyes locked her, and although he didn't speak, his eyes showed his thoughts, and there was a silent grievance in it.
It is clearly condemning her: I am not angry with your anger and indifference towards me before, but I am very concerned about it. Now that you are happy, should you express it
Lin Lan hated her comprehension, why was she always able to capture his thoughts so accurately? She pretended not to understand and turned to look elsewhere. Han Qingsong pinched her face and turned her gaze back, making her look at himself.
Lin Lan was made to laugh by him.
He looked at her silently, her brows and eyes were vivid, and there seemed to be something hidden in her bright eyes that always hooked him, making his heart soften, and it would be itchy and hot. He often wanted to express something. But he won't say it, and he can't say it, so he can only do it. In his opinion, doing it with his daughter-in-law is also a silent expression, expressing his infatuation and admiration for her.
He couldn't say sour sentences like "I met her late but missed it", but there was a surging feeling in his heart, it was never too late to get her, and once he got her, he would never let go.
So I originally thought that I should get up early tomorrow and let her sleep well, but it disappeared in her bright eyes like waves. When she was happy and he was happy, if she didn't do something, she seemed sorry for herself.
Fortunately, Director Han was still rational and restrained, and did not make her tired until midnight, so Lin Lan dreamed of making a fortune overnight.
She dreamed that she was standing on a gem mountain, waved her hand, and said to Han Qingsong: "Third brother, I have contracted this mountain! Hahahaha..."
Finally woke up giggling.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, Han Qingsong had already got up, and just put on his clothes and went to the ground. He was shocked by her laughter, and his scalp was numb, and he turned back to meet her bright eyes.
Lin Lan blinked and asked suspiciously, "Third brother, where is my mine? Why did you go home so soon?"
Han Qingsong: "..."
Lin Lan sat up so hard, where is my mother's mine!
Then she heard the movements of the children in Dongjian, and all her thoughts returned to her senses. She dressed numbly, "I have to make breakfast for my eldest son."
Han Qingsong wanted to tell her to sleep longer without getting up, but looking at her posture, she probably wouldn't listen, so she didn't say anything.
Dawang wanted to leave early, so Lin Lan spread out egg pancakes and boiled eggs for him. There was oil, eggs and noodles, and he was nutritious and full. He asked his eldest son to eat more. When she was cooking, she also asked Erwang to help grind soy milk, boil the wheat ears, add sugar, and fill Dawang with a military kettle, and another kettle was kept cold and boiled.
The yellow egg cake has green and jade-white chopped green onions, which are full of color and flavor. It is especially delicious when dipped in a spicy dish.
Dawang felt like he was overwhelmed.
Lin Lan still wanted to sneak some eggs into his schoolbag, but Dawang stopped her silently. This training was purely self-conscious, otherwise it would be deceiving himself.
Lin Lan also understood and patted him, "Son, come on."
Dawang saw the white flour sticking to her forehead and hair, as if her black hair had turned white. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and rubbed the flour in her hair to shake off the flour, and returned to what black hair should look like.
Lin Lan: "..." Eldest son, how can you touch your mother's head like your brother!
Mai Sui and Erwang also stayed for a while, oh my, eldest brother is so daring!
Han Qingsong frowned, glanced at him, and his face was obviously unpleasant.
Dawang: "…Mother, there is a face on your head."
Lin Lan laughed, "It's alright, are you full? Let's eat more." She took an egg cake and rolled it up for him to eat.
Dawang: "...I'm full."
Han Qingsong: "Let's go."
Lin Lan: How much do you hate my son? It was still dark when you rushed him to leave so early.
But at this time, if you leave early, you can arrive earlier, and Lin Lan understands that, so she will send him out. Dawang carried the water bottle, handkerchief and his clothes on his back, and when he left the courtyard, he told Lin Lan and the others not to send them.
Dawang did not take the big road to the east, but went directly to the west by the small road.
When Lin Lan and the others returned home when she could not see her son's back, she found that the blue stone was actually on the sewing machine.
Dawang heard her say it looked good, so he gave it to her.
Lin Lan: ... Oh, I'm so touched, my son gave me a big gem. After thinking about it, she put the stone in the cabinet, and when she has time, she can go up the river to see, maybe she can still pick it up.
She wondered if she had to report to the government. It was a sapphire mine, and all natural resources belonged to the state.
But now even if she reports, no one cares. At this time, only metal mines such as gold and silver mines, iron mines and copper mines are paid attention to, and other gemstone ores are rarely seen, unless someone in charge is willing to listen to her and manage that mine in advance. . After all, it is now advocating hardship and simplicity, not loving red clothes and loving armed, and gems, which are full of the decadent light of capitalism, are not allowed to be popular.
Next, Lin Lan and Han Qingsong were very busy.
Lin Lan not only had to hold meetings in the commune, but also had to go to the countryside to organize propaganda and study. She used this opportunity to repeatedly promote breaking feudal superstitions, stereotypes and bad habits, prohibiting consanguineous marriage, prohibiting child marriage, prohibiting the sale of women, and striving to improve the status of women and protect children, etc.
She also suggested that the Propaganda Department cooperate with the Women's Federation, the Public Security Bureau, and militia organizations to crack down on acts that harm women and children. Members are encouraged to report, and after the report is verified, five catties of wheat will be rewarded. Then there was an anti-feudal upsurge in the commune, women and children also organized to study and expose, and uncovered the rapists and bad elements who molested children and women who were hiding in the various teams.
After thinking about it, she will submit a detailed and organized plan to Minister Zhuang, how to arrange the following, how to combine points, lines, and surfaces, and how the entire propaganda department will cooperate, etc., all listed clearly.
Minister Zhuang patted the table, "Okay!"
It was a wise move to recruit Lin Lan. Not only was it a lot easier for me, but the work became more and more efficient, and it became more and more like the county's model propaganda department. The minister himself has a lot of face.
"Just do it like this. You need to arrange what everyone needs to do. Even my minister will cooperate with you." Minister Zhuang was very happy.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Minister, having your words is the greatest support."
Naturally, this work is not done by a few propagandists, but to mobilize the propagandists of the brigade and the vast number of members of the brigade. In this way, their commune propagandists had to go to the countryside every day.
Minister Zhuang remembered, "Our propaganda department has to apply for another bicycle, and we have to give you one."
The propaganda department and correspondents often go to the countryside to run around, so bicycles are also a must. Without a bicycle, two villages would not be able to travel in a day on two feet alone. There were originally four people in their propaganda department, with a total of three bicycles, one for each of him and the deputy minister, and one for the two officers. Cao Guangrong had his own car, but Lin Lan did not.
If a bicycle is not allocated for three people, one has to be added. If it was the same as before, I would definitely go to the director's office to make a report, see if some of the other offices are moved over first, and then assign new ones to the cadres.
Now Minister Zhuang doesn't want to do this. He wants to ask the propaganda department for a new one, and he wants to make Lin Lan happy.
Oops, happiness came unexpectedly, and I even gave you a car.
Lin Lan: "Thank you, Minister."
At this time, it is not easy to buy bicycles for individuals, but official vehicles can still be applied for by government agencies. After getting the application approval slip, you can go to the county supply and marketing cooperative to pick up the goods. Of course, it also depends on the status of the commune. If the commune is well-known and ranked high, it will be approved faster.
Their commune took advantage of the deputy chief of a county's public security bureau, and because Lin Lan was an advanced red-banner for propaganda, some things were more advanced.
So two days later, Lin Lan also got a special car, a permanent brand 28 bar, which was better than the one that Han Qingsong rode. This one cost about 200 yuan.
"Comrade Lin Lan, this new bicycle is yours to use and keep." Minister Zhuang personally handed Lin Lan the key tied with a red cloth.
The others were also very envious and applauded, "Mr. Lin, congratulations."
Lin Lan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Happy together."
Seeing it on the side, Yu Xin pouted and returned to the director's office, "Director, when will I get a bicycle?"
Deputy Director Yang is busy preparing things for going to the countryside. Now he needs summer management, and in two months, he will have to harvest and plant in autumn. They all have to be supervised by the commune. Brigade of oil and cotton.
"Don't you have a bicycle?"
"Can the broken bike still ride? The tires are repaired several times, the valve cores are always broken, the tires are also worn out, the rims are a little deformed, the chain always falls off when riding, and I bite my pants, and the tailgate doesn't work. Now, just throw mud on your body..."
Anyway, there are faults everywhere and must be replaced with new ones.
Deputy Director Yang: "Otherwise, whoever you and the office should exchange, it's a public business anyway, who rides and not rides?"
Yu Xin's eyes lit up: "The propaganda department just approved a new one for Lin Lan. It's permanent. It costs a small two hundred yuan. It's too corrupt."
She wants to change!
Deputy Director Yang is very embarrassed: "Well, you should change someone."
Lin Lan can't be bullied, and it's not easy to use power to oppress people. She has Han Qingsong, and no one has beaten her man when it comes to fighting.
So, no way.
Yu Xin saw that the director who took good care of her was unwilling to satisfy her even with a bicycle, and she was very unhappy.
After get off work in the afternoon, Lin Lan decided to go home early today. She worked overtime a few days ago. She and Han Qingsong went home late. Every day Erwang and Mai Sui led Xiaowang, and she felt bad about it.
When she went to the Public Security Bureau office, Sun Zhuowen was alone.
Seeing Lin Lan come in, Sun Zhuowen said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, this is the first bike in our commune, and the director's bike is only 156 yuan."
Lin Lan: "This is from our Propaganda Department, not for me. I only have the right to use the custody. Deputy Bureau Sun, what about your Korean Bureau?"
Sun Zhuowen: "Oh, the Korean Bureau went out to do field work. You also know that our Public Security Bureau is not staffed enough. The Korean Bureau is all staffed by public security personnel. You can sit down and wait for a while, maybe the Korean Bureau will be back in a while. night shift."
He didn't take Lin Lan as an outsider, so he started talking, "It's strange recently, a cow was killed a while ago, and the Han Bureau led someone to arrest the murderer. As a result, another mule died a few days ago. Today Said to kill another cow."
Han Qingsong originally went to inspect other communes, but he didn't go because animals in his commune were killed.
Lin Lan: "This is a gang committed to kill animals? Why?"
Sun Zhuowen: "I don't know, the Korean Bureau guessed that it might be trying to create panic, or it might be killing animals to vent their anger."
Lin Lan: "Is it possible that the bad elements of the underworld are causing trouble?" If the animals were killed to vent their anger, why would there be several brigades? It's more like an organized, premeditated move.
Sun Zhuowen shook his head: "Mr. Lin, you don't know, there are still black gangs in our country now. When the country was founded, those who were killed early and those who were caught were all reformed."
At that time, the policy of "killing a group, shutting down a group, and controlling a group" was adopted, mainly targeting the leaders of the reactionary Taoist associations, combined with the elimination of spies, bandits, bullies, and the backbone of the reactionary party groups. The important spy and the leader of the meeting practice strong strangulation, so no gang has dared to emerge in the past 20 years.
It stands to reason that there are no gangs.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people are hidden deep enough not to be caught, or those who have been cultivated later are not exposed.
Sun Zhuowen is a typical case that one thing is worse than one less thing. Thinking about the troubles of those Taoist sects, he thinks that it is better to not have it. As long as you think it doesn't, it's definitely not. It's so easy to resurge.
Lin Lan didn't understand either, so naturally she didn't say much, she also had a lot of her own affairs.
At this time, Han Qingsong and Luo Haicheng came back from the outside, and were remanding a man in handcuffs. The man was wearing the clothes of an ordinary commune member, his face was tanned, and his body was dirty. He looked like he was in his forties, of medium height, and thin, just like an ordinary commune member. He was inconspicuous in the crowd.
Lin Lan glanced at it. Did you catch a bull thief
She walked towards Han Qingsong, "Third brother."
When the man heard her call Han Qingsong third brother, he immediately stared at her fiercely, seeing that she was a beautiful woman, he felt that she was not a good person.
He violently broke away from the police officer who was holding him, and slammed into Lin Lan fiercely—
Sun Zhuowen looked like he was crazy, so he ducked back subconsciously, while Han Qingsong and Luo Haicheng were about to get out of the car and were a little far away from him. The escorting police officer didn't expect the docile man to suddenly go crazy, and he was stunned for a moment. .
In the blink of an eye, the man bumped into Lin Lan, Lin Lan hurriedly dodged, but the man didn't give up, shouting loudly, "Kill you dog cadres!" He raised his handcuffs to hit Lin Lan.
Before Han Qingsong got off the bicycle, he pushed it along the way. The bicycle slammed into the man and staggered him, just in time to save Lin Lan.
Lin Lan turned around and ran.
The man shouted, "Bad cadres! Kill you!" He was about to chase after Lin Lan.
It happened that Yu Xin turned from the side and bumped into Lin Lan, "What are you running for? There are ghosts chasing... ah—"
Yu Xin saw the man slamming over, she was so frightened that she hugged her head and hid, but she blocked Lin Lan's way, the man slammed towards Lin Lan, Lin Lan immediately hugged her head and squatted down to protect herself.
With a "bang", the man was kicked out by Han Qingsong, who was flying over, and fell on the wall, twitching and motionless.
Sun Zhuowen: Oh my god, it wasn't because of a kick.
Sure enough, the man started vomiting blood.
Yu Xin screamed and ran away, "It's dead, it's dead."
Luo Haicheng hurried over to take a look, "Three broken ribs, not dead."
The police officer in charge of escorting quickly apologized to Lin Lan and Han Qingsong for their dereliction of duty.
Han Qingsong: "The arm will be handcuffed to the back."
He strode over to help Lin Lan up, patted the soil on the hem of her clothes, and touched her face to tell her not to be afraid. Lin Lan wasn't afraid, she breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the man on the ground, not understanding why he hated her so much.
Sun Zhuowen asked the man to be taken to the interrogation room, and then called the doctor of the health center to fix his bones.
Lin Lan: "Third brother, I have nothing against him. Why did he kill me? Isn't he a lunatic?"
Han Qingsong: "He fights when he sees a beautiful woman."
Lin Lan: "...Thank you. Is this the bull thief?"
Han Qingsong nodded.
Lin Lan: "..." Do I look the same as a cow
She was a little depressed.
"He killed the cow to get revenge on the cadre?" Lin Lan heard him shouting that he killed the cadre. He probably had hatred with the cadre of the brigade
Han Qingsong: "These slaughtered animals deliberately killed animals to vent their anger because they were dissatisfied with the brigade cadres."
Lin Lan: "Then did they harm anyone in the brigade?" Killing animals in the brigade, then going to the commune to beat her
"No one hit."
Lin Lan is even more depressed, and co-authoring herself is even more hated
Naturally, she didn't know that in the man's eyes, a woman with a bigger cadre and a beautiful woman was definitely worse. The cadres of the brigade all listened to the commune, and the commune cadres were definitely worse! And Han Qingsong is the biggest cadre he has ever seen, and Lin Lan is so close to Han Qingsong, he can't take her anger out.
Han Qingsong put Luo Haicheng in charge, while he and Lin Lan went home from get off work.
Lin Lan thought of the bicycle again, and said happily: "Third brother, I also have a special car. New!"
Han Qingsong felt that her hand was a little itchy and wanted to touch her head, so she rubbed her fingers to hold back, "Not bad."
He doesn't even have a special car, he rides his own.
So the two rode home together.
…
Besides, Dawang finally arrived at the district at around 8:00 p.m. on the second day after his departure. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to the district sports school.
This is also his practice, to see his younger brother before going to the army, and to see his younger brother before returning home. With him looking at him twice, Sanwang was not so homesick.
There were times later than this before, so Dawang was not worried, but today is a bit similar to the first time he arrived - embarrassed.
For the first time, the main problem was finding the way, marking and drawing my own route map, and my physical strength was a little bit unable to keep up. At that time, it was no problem to eat and make a fire. Later, I became familiar with it. The route, physical strength, and rations were all fine, and I walked very easily. This time, the route is familiar, but it is not so easy to find a way to feed one's stomach, without stealing or grabbing food.
After all, he eats so much!
What he ate along the way, he didn't want to recall, some were good, some just... never wanted to recall.
The uncle of the sports school's communication room was already familiar with him. When he saw him coming, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Brother Xiaoyu, are you here again?"
Dawang: "... hello sir."
Dawang went to Sanwang's dormitory, and a whole room of people were chatting about something.
He heard Sanwang shouting from a distance: "Who's turn to write to our mother today, don't forget!"
"Student Sanwang, it's your turn today!"
"Ah? Impossible, I just wrote it a few days ago?"
"Fuck, that time you wrote about your parents, and then the teacher dragged you to go through the formalities for transferring to a provincial sports school, and you ran away."
"Is that so? Fu Zhengyuan, is it really like this?"
Fu Zhengyuan: "That's right."
Sanwang: "I mean I really go to the provincial sports school? To be honest, I don't really want to go."
"Hey, believe it or not, we'll kill you, we can't squeeze in even if we break our heads, and you'll be chosen, won't you go?"
Sanwang: "I can't bear you and my family." If I go, who will write to my mother
The brothers in the first dormitory rushed up to hug him again, "Sanwang, good brother."
Fu Zhengyuan: "You will naturally have a new roommate write for you when you go."
Sanwang: "Then don't I have to write to you? Oh my god, can we brothers not have to write letters? I'll be scared to death."
Everyone: "..." I really want to kill him!
Fu Zhengyuan: "I will go to the provincial sports school a year later than you."
Sanwang was happy all of a sudden, and hugged Fu Zhengyuan violently: "Fu Zhengyuan, you are so nice, you should go early."
Fu Zhengyuan: "When I go, you will have new friends. You may have forgotten where you went."
Sanwang laughed and said, "How could that be. You are all my mother's sons, can you forget that? Of course not."
Wan Fubiao: "Well, I heard the teacher say that this year our national team is going to go to that foreign country to participate in the press conference."
Fu Zhengyuan: "...It was the Asian Games, in Tehran, Iran. This is our first time participating."
Sanwang: "The Asian Games has nothing to do with us, we are not the national team."
Fu Zhengyuan looked at him, "I listened to the leader of the provincial sports school chatting with Teacher Chu that day, and it seemed that I wanted to see if you were qualified."
Sanwang pointed to his nose: "Me?" He shook his head like a rattle, "That's not good, I don't want to go abroad, it's either capitalism or black carbonism, I heard it's blacker than me, don't corrupt me ."
Anyway, the teacher didn't tell him, and he had no idea about it.
For Sanwang, swimming is his biggest hobby. As long as he can swim for free 360 or 365 days a year, it will be great. It would be even better if you could also earn allowances from swimming and food stamps to support your family.
As for why he won the honor for this one and won the first place in that competition, he still doesn't have that feeling.
Going to the provincial capital is because he can participate in more competitions, the food stamp can get 30 catties, the allowance can be 25 a month, and he eats by himself, saying that it is 30 catties a month, in fact, there is no limit to what he eats. Just like that, he didn't want to go.
Fu Zhengyuan: "Sanwang, if you can really go abroad to participate in the competition, it is said that you will get at least fifty or sixty allowances."
At this time, Dawang came in. They never closed the door, so they opened it as soon as they pushed it.
As soon as Sanwang turned his head and saw his eldest brother, he didn't see his family for a few days. He was so happy that he jumped up and shouted, "Big brother!"
Just like when he was a child, he rubbed onto Dawang at once, like a koala.
Dawang: "!"
If he was a child, he would kick Sanwang away with one kick.
At this moment, he was hungry and tired, and was almost thrown over by Sanwang. He took a step back to stabilize his body, but he didn't have the strength to pull Sanwang down.
