They usually listen to the radio. He followed his brother to listen to some wars and spy captures. Coupled with the influence of Lin Lan and his propaganda team's programs, Sanwang's desire to perform became stronger.
Dawang led him through the door.
Besides, seeing the free and unrestrained figures of the two sons, Lin Lan frowned, "These two bastards."
She and Han Qingsong took the other three children to visit step by step, and the first stop was the bookstore.
Xinhua Bookstore was still very small at this time, with only three rooms, and there were not many books in it. In addition to the quotations from the Red Treasure Book, there were some outdated periodicals and newspapers, as well as some novels that reflected land reform and the construction of a new China, and then there were textbooks for all grades. .
The other bookshelf was full of villains, pictures, and the like. Mai Sui and Erwang couldn't put it down because they squatted down and didn't want to leave.
In particular, although Mai Sui could not fully recognize the words, she did not delay her reading quickly. She could finish a small book in a few minutes, and couldn't wait to read the next one.
Han Qingsong went to read other professional books.
Lin Lan took Xiaowang to see if there were music and art. She also wanted to buy some board newspapers and propaganda, and then to see if there were handicrafts.
In the end, I picked a simple staff notation, which can teach children to recognize staff, music, etc., and also allow people to easily arrange music by themselves.
After Xiaowang has learned from Huo Yuan, he can figure it out for himself at home.
Xiaowang also picked a painting, which is a miscellaneous book, which contains sketches, gouache, Chinese paintings, etc., which is in line with the current requirements for building various undertakings in a faster, better and more economical manner.
In addition, Lin Lan also bought some outdated monthly novels, such as "Liuquan", "Red Flag", "Military Songs", etc. These can be read by the whole family and read to the members.
And because it is expired, it is very cheap, and you can buy a big stack for one dollar.
Seeing that they spent too much time in the bookstore, Lin Lan reminded them, "We're leaving, have you picked yours?"
The two were hesitating, Erwang picked a health-preserving cookbook, and now they all meet the requirements of how fast and economical they are, so there are quite a few categories of knowledge in one book, and it is still very cost-effective to buy one for several. He also picked out two other books, a book on psychological eloquence, which was never seen in the country.
But if so, it's too much.
Because Lin Lan said that if a person can buy things for one dollar at most, they will exceed it. Before they came, they said they wanted to eat candied haws.
Lin Lan glanced at it, seeing that Mai Sui was struggling with a book about clothing tailoring, a book about delicate things that was criticized now, and it was surprising that this book was not banned, after all, it had a reaction to feudalism. The hats of decadence and capitalist hedonism are in.
Mai Sui's book was more expensive because of the pictures, and it was more than a dollar for both, but she had a hard time choosing.
Erwang's books are cheap, one dollar can buy three copies, and finally the other one is discarded.
Seeing them tangled with Lin Lan also sighed with emotion, the things in their bones are really hard to change. Fortunately, in this life, they will stick to their specialties and take the right path, and they will surely achieve something.
"Erwang, which one do you think I'll pick?" Mai Sui struggled.
Erwang doesn't care about those two books, he can throw either one, but he is afraid that Mai Sui will let him drop his own to share money with her, so he just picks the cut book.
"Now that there is no cloth, do you want to make clothes? Besides, what do you learn to make clothes? You are still so young, and you can buy them later when you are older."
Mai Sui shook his head: "But I just want to see it, so I can change our clothes to look better."
Now it's like a sack, ugly to death. And mother's craftsmanship is not to be expected, if you want to be beautiful, you have to do it yourself.
Han Qingsong has already carried Xiaowang on his shoulders, "Last minute."
Mai Sui was anxious, looked at Lin Lan as if asking for help, and asked Lin Lan to help her find a way.
Lin Lan rolled her eyes and pointed at Xiaowang. Xiaowang bought a book and still had some money.
Mai Sui immediately ran over to discuss with Xiao Wang.
Xiaowang said generously: "Okay."
The wheat ears got their wish, and they were happy immediately.
Erwang is a little regretful, why didn't he think of it, he knew better and said goodbye to Xiaowang earlier.
He just wanted to miss his parents.
Lin Lan said with a smile: "Er Wang, the first thing that came to mind was the golden idea, the second was Dong Shi Xiao frown, and the third was that stinky shit is boring."
Erwang scratched his head and had to give up, but also planted the beginning of constantly thinking about good ideas.
Afterwards, they went shopping again to see the school, the government compound, and finally the supply and marketing cooperative and the theater.
Lin Lan didn't even encounter Dawang and the others along the way. That kid didn't come to the county less often.
They went to the supply and marketing agency first, and Lin Lan bought Xiaowang a 21-hole harmonica, Dongfeng brand, brand new.
Xiaowang was so happy that his eyes were shining, so he started the audition at that time, and the salesperson of the supply and marketing agency even praised the child for his greatness.
In addition, Lin Lan bought a few sticks of mouth oil, a bottle of Vaseline, a box of balsam, and a bottle of Peony brand vanishing cream for face.
Because skin care products are not cheap, most people do not buy them except for big girls, so they do not consume as much food and oil as daily necessities, and no tickets are required.
After all, most people buy this thing to prevent dry and cracking when the weather is cool, and don't use it when it is warm.
Looking at it again, there is nothing to buy. The key is that people don't sell it without tickets. The daily necessities that don't want tickets are basically sold out on the day they arrive, and it's not their turn to buy them.
They left the supply and marketing agency and went to the theater, where they sat on stools in the ticket hall outside to eat and drink.
Han Qingsong also went to ask for a pot of hot water, and Lin Lan used a lunch box to warm the pancakes for the children to eat.
"Where did Dawang and Sanwang go?" There are only a few places where they can go, and they've all been there, but they haven't come across them.
Han Qingsong said: "Don't worry."
He went to take a look, then came back and asked Lin Lan, "Would you like to watch a movie?"
Lin Lan thought that the movie was in black and white at this time, the sound and picture quality was not very good, and the inside was dark, which was too irritating to Xiaowang's eyes for Xiaowang to watch.
However, Erwang and Mai Sui thought about it very much. Lin Lan smiled and said, "You two work hard in school, you don't have to worry about your parents, and you also help them with the housework. It's amazing. Your parents invite you to watch a movie and reward you."
When the two heard it, they clapped their hands with joy, "Thank you mother, thank you father."
It was the first time for them to watch a movie. The teacher said that watching a movie is not so easy. You have to have a ticket, and the ticket is not so easy to buy.
Lin Lan asked Han Qingsong to buy tickets for the two of them to watch a movie. Fifteen minutes later, there will be a "Youth is Red Like Fire".
"Watch a movie!" The two children jumped for joy.
Lin Lan coaxed Xiaowang: "The child is still young, when I get older, my mother will show you."
Xiaowang nodded obediently, "Okay."
Han Qingsong used his work permit to buy tickets for the two children to go to the movies. When the staff saw that he was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of the Revolutionary Committee, they were very enthusiastic and took the initiative to tell him that the theater was rehearsing for a model show.
Han Qingsong asked about the play.
"Where's Shajiabang. If you want to see it, just watch it."
Han Qingsong came back and told Lin Lan, and asked her if she wanted to watch it.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Then let's take Xiaowang to see it."
The staff gave them a sign to see for themselves.
Han Qingsong took Lin Lan and Xiaowang over, only to see a dark red curtain hanging on the stage, more than a dozen actors were preparing, and some actors were doing dance warm-up moves, and some were hanging their voices and playing the erhu. lively.
Xiao Wang was immediately attracted.
Han Qingsong motioned to Lin Lan to be here, he went out to do some errands, and came to pick her up later.
Lin Lan nodded and whispered, "Go ahead, if we go out early, we'll wait for you at the ticket office."
Han Qingsong left first.
Lin Lan led Xiaowang to the rehearsal.
Their rehearsal was very casual, and they haven't performed the whole performance yet, but they are running in the pair bit by bit, which is also very interesting for members who have never seen it.
That's why the staff introduced Han Qingsong to bring his wife and children to come and see.
When a person started to pull the erhu, Xiaowang listened more carefully, his big eyes were shining, and he didn't move.
In the end, when the rehearsal was over, he was still immersed in the world of drama and did not regain his senses.
Lin Lan sat with him for a while. When everyone on the stage was gone, Xiao Wang suddenly began to hum one of the tunes. Although his voice could not accurately express the rhythm, the tune he hummed was correct.
"Mother, is the erhu I played good?" He asked Lin Lan after humming.
Lin Lan praised from the bottom of his heart, "It's good, I've never heard such a good sound."
Xiao Wang was very happy, holding Lin Lan's hand, and suddenly exclaimed, "Where's Dad? My dad is lost!"
Lin Lan laughed and picked up this child who realized it later, "Let's go outside and look for it."
After they went out, Erwang and Maisui also came out, and they were excitedly telling the story. When they saw Lin Lan and Xiaowang come out, they were annoyed that they missed it when they went to the rehearsal.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Don't be greedy. Dawang and Sanwang haven't come yet?"
Erwang spread his hands, "We looked outside, but we didn't."
Lin Lan: "Don't worry, you should be back when the time comes."
They made an appointment. If the sun sets in the middle of the west, they will come back to meet. If they don't come, not only will they be punished, but they will have nothing to do with them when they come out to play in the future.
After resting for a while, when he heard that there were candied haws outside, Lin Lan said, "I invite you to eat candied haws, but you have run out of money, so you can only buy one and eat it."
The children are also very happy.
Erwang went to buy one and brought it back. He first gave Lin Lan one bite, and the other one, and then kept one for his father, and the rest of the children were divided.
The red hawthorn fruit is wrapped in amber-colored hard syrup, which is crunchy, sour and sweet, making it reluctant to finish it.
After a while, Han Qingsong came back first. He was carrying a bag in his hand and handed it to Lin Lan.
Mai Sui handed him the hawthorn fruit that he kept, and Han Qingsong took it and stuffed it into Lin Lan's mouth.
Lin Lan was looking down at the contents of the paper bag. Suddenly, a hawthorn fruit was stuffed into her, causing her cheeks to turn red.
Mai Sui and Erwang were used to not giving them anything delicious for their father, so they smiled and pretended not to see it.
Lin Lan chewed the hawthorn slowly, savoring the sweet and sour taste, and opened the paper bag in her hand, "Wow! Look!"
The children were attracted by her and hurried to look over. It turned out to be a lot of dried mushrooms!
Lin Lan was surprised: "Where did such a good mushroom come from?"
Whether it is in the countryside or in the city, fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms are very expensive. At this time, there is no artificial cultivation, and they are all picked in the mountains. The mountains here are barren, and mushrooms are not rich. Only after the summer and autumn rains, the grass will grow a little, so the local people rarely eat mushrooms.
Han Qingsong said: "The benefits given by the Revolutionary Committee, I owe me a reward before, and I asked for an extra one."
Lin Lan pondered that this thing is so rare, and it is estimated that only a few members of the Revolutionary Committee have it. Could it be that he didn't have a share
She didn't ask much, just smiled: "In two days, the production team will slaughter the pigs and divide the meat, let's stew the mushrooms with pork vermicelli!"
The children were very happy. In the past, there were mushrooms at home, which were sent by Han Qingsong.
The fragrance was deeply imprinted in his mind, especially the wheat ears, after taking a sip with Han Jinyu, the taste suddenly appeared on the tip of the tongue.
So fragrant!
Lin Lan talked about Han Qingsong's reward again. She had been thinking about it all the time. Before Zhao Anping and later the Yellow River Captain, they all said that there were rewards, but they have not received them yet.
Han Qingsong said that he would save it until the end of the year.
She was looking forward to giving a big gift at the end of the year, but also worried that she would give it reluctantly.
"Those two boys, the time is up, why haven't you come back?"
Han Qingsong said that he went to look for it, and before he left, Sanwang ran after Dawang, panting, but came back at the appointed time.
Sanwang was so tired that he leaned on his knees and panted, but Dawang was nothing but sweat on his forehead.
Lin Lan saw that their clothes were actually dirty, and they were different from coming out in the morning, "You two... Are you moving bricks?"
Sanwang hehe... huhu... speechless.
Dawang: "..." No explanation.
As a parent of a child, you can see that something is wrong at first glance, and Han Qingsong's eyebrows are about to break out. Lin Lan quickly tugged at his sleeve, so that he would not scold Dawang.
She heard the women in the village beat their children on the street, and the cursing was really unpleasant. When the child is older, he also has a sense of self-esteem and shame. Dawang is especially powerful. She saves him face. Anyway, she will definitely ask what they are doing.
Sanwang is not so strict with his mouth, and when she turned around, she asked him quietly and said it.
Mai Sui said proudly: "We bought books, watched movies, and ate candied haws."
Sanwang immediately looked envious.
Lin Lan asked Dawang, "What did you buy?"
Dawang took out a dollar and returned it to Lin Lan, "We bought four biscuits with meat in them, and spent one dollar."
Lin Lan: "How did you buy it without a ticket?"
"It was made by others, no votes required."
"One dollar and four cakes are expensive enough." Lin Lan felt that it was not worth it. Two cents were enough to buy a pound of fine noodles!
Sanwang immediately said: "Mother, that cake is big," he gestured, it was as big as his own face, but a little thin, so there wasn't much meat in it, just a little minced leeks.
But delicious!
"Apart from eating cakes, what did you do?" Lin Lan asked.
Dawang: "Just wander around."
Sanwang also nodded quickly, but that sly look betrayed him, there must be something tricky.
Han Qingsong glanced at Dawang, "Tell me the truth."
Dawang: "To be honest."
Your own child, he knows his temperament, he knows where his tail goes.
Definitely not telling the truth!
Lin Lan was afraid that the father and son would fight each other. Han Qingsong was a serious man, and Dawang was a stubborn donkey, so he couldn't make trouble outside.
She smiled: "Okay, let's go home."
When leaving, Dawang continued to ride with two, and Han Qingsong with three.
Dawang was afraid that Hei Daddy would catch him and ran away with a kick. Although his legs were not long enough, it didn't delay him from riding fast.
Lin Lan sat on her lap with one arm around Xiaowang and the other around Han Qingsong's waist. She whispered, "I'll ask Sanwang first when I get home, don't be angry."
Han Qingsong shook her hand, "Not angry."
In front of Dawang suddenly stopped the car, Sanwang stood up on the beam, pointed to the two people on the roadside and shouted: "Dad, mother, look!"
Lin Lan looked in the direction he pointed, and found that it was Han Jinyu and a young man who were pressing down the road.
Han Jinyu held a candied haws in his hand and smiled brightly.
Yo, this is the object.
Lin Lan motioned to leave quickly and don't disturb them. Although she and Han Jinyu didn't deal with each other, they couldn't break the blind date.
Who knew that the young man was overjoyed when he saw them, and ran over to greet Han Jinyu.
He ran so fast that he didn't even care if Han Jinyu didn't keep up. He ran to Han Qingsong's side in a hurry and smiled very pleased, "Hello Director Han, my name is Sun Yaowu, I'm the data administrator of the Forestry Section of the Revolutionary Committee. ."
He bent down and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Han Qingsong.
Han Qingsong didn't move, but nodded, "My name is Han Qingsong, don't be so polite."
He was wearing gloves, and he was holding the handlebars. If he loosened it, he would be crooked. Who would be responsible for his wife and children
"Then, let me call you third brother!" The young man's eyes lit up with excitement.
Han Jinyu ran over and complained, "Third brother, you left by yourself, don't wait for me, I went to borrow a bicycle for a long time."
There are not many bicycles in the village, and everyone wants to borrow them, but generally they cannot.
Han Qingsong snorted, "We're going home."
Han Jinyu gave Lin Lan a hard look, wishing she could drag Lin Lan down and sit up by herself.
Lin Lan waved at her, "You guys have fun, let's go."
Han Qingsong rode a bicycle and led them to chase after Dawang in front.
Sun Yaowu immediately said, "Comrade Han Qingshan, I'll take you home."
Han Jinyu hurriedly refused, "No, no, I came here by myself."
She just came to meet him for the first time, and she hasn't determined the relationship yet, how can she let him send it
Sun Yaowu still insisted, Han Jinyu's eyes widened, she was pretty, and she was the type that men liked. She was so angry and angry, Sun Yaowu immediately laughed with her, "You can also talk more when I send you."
Han Jinyu sneered, "Do you want to talk to me or to Director Han?"
Most people would be embarrassed in such a situation, but Sun Yaowu had a sincere expression on his face, "Of course I'm talking to Director Han and you. I haven't reported my work to Director Han yet. Our forestry department..."
"Okay, okay, my third brother doesn't care about your forestry department, what are you reporting?" Han Jinyu pouted, "Don't talk about a blind date for my third brother."
"No, no, didn't I just know," Sun Yaowu said with a face that I never lied, but said in his heart: You have a rural household registration. If you don't look good and have a director brother, can I have a blind date with you?
Although the county seat is not as strict as the big city, it is very difficult to change the rural hukou to the urban hukou.
First, the unit must receive the grain and oil household registration, and then score the house, which will block most of the opportunities.
If Han Jinyu marries her, he can move his hukou to his house. It has to be a matter of course. Fortunately, they are both members of the Revolutionary Committee, so it is more convenient to operate.
However, the more anxious he became, Han Jinyu retreated.
She is really bored at home now, and she doesn't want to work at all, so she wants to get married to solve this problem.
Marrying a member of the village, then she is still a farmer and still has to go to work, which cannot solve the problem.
Therefore, she must marry a city person and eat public food, and then it is best to arrange a job for herself, so that she does not have to repair the earth in the wind, sun and rain.
She used to like Zhao Jianshe when she was in school, who knew he was so incompetent.
Later, Han Qingsong returned from a career change, and now all the classmates knew that her brother was the director, and they took the initiative to curry favor with her and introduced her to a partner.
Now, there are still several waiting in line for her blind date!
After returning home, Lin Lan didn't find a chance to avoid Dawang and seduce Sanwang alone.
In the end, she had to wake up Sanwang while Dawang and Erwang went for a run the next morning.
Sanwang is drooling while hugging his eldest brother's pillow, biting his big elbow in a dream.
He was woken up by Lin Lan, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said in a daze, "Mother, why are you in my dream, you want to eat elbows too." He brought the pillow to Lin Lan's mouth.
Lin Lan grabbed the pillow and said, "Good son, tell your mother why you and eldest brother went to the county. When our brigade kills the pigs, I'll cook something delicious for you."
Dawang smacking his mouth, closed his eyes and muttered: "Just to play, somersaults, scratching bones, playing tops, brother is the best."
Lin Lan: "That's it?"
Sanwang: "Hmm."
Lin Lan thought for a while, and then asked another question, "How many people are you playing with your eldest brother?"
"Five...nine...seven..."
"When you're pulling a spinning top and grinding your bones, what are the seven or eight people doing?"
"They... um..." San Wang started to get stuck, his little brows furrowed, and he looked like he was going to sleep again.
Lin Lan grabbed a broom and swiped his nose, Sanwang raised his hand to grab it, but Lin Lan grabbed his hand to prevent him from scratching it.
As it got more and more itchy, Sanwang opened his eyes, "Mother, why are you attacking me?"
Lin Lan: "Tell me, what are your big brothers doing?"
"My eldest brother... I don't know either." Sanwang flickered his eyes, as if he really didn't lie.
His eyes were not as long as those of his father and brother, but more like Lin Lan's big and round eyes. They were big peach blossom eyes with slightly drooping corners, and they were actually pretty when you looked closely.
It's just that he has a big head, dark skin, and dark pupils. Ordinary people will say that he is energetic, and no one will praise him for being beautiful like Xiaowang.
Lin Lan smiled and rolled her eyes, but her eyes were threatening, "Little third brother, what does your father know? The police know who does what. Do you know that resistance is strict and frank and lenient?"
Sanwang couldn't help but shivered, "I know, the Public Security Bureau... it's painted on the wall." This is also often promoted on the radio, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Then why don't you invite me!" Lin Lan slapped the pillow and stuffed it back to Sanwang, "Hold your big elbow and tell me honestly, what the hell is your big brother doing?"
Sanwang: "…Mother, I, I can't be a traitor." He felt that he could still struggle.
Lin Lan snorted and rolled up her sleeves, "Do you want to work with tiger stools and chili water!" She patted the edge of the kang, "Speak!"
Sanwang felt that in order to keep the secret of the organization, although he was tortured in every possible way, he would rather die than confess.
He was moved to tears by his loyalty, and felt that he had lived up to the training of the organization. When he felt pain in his fingers, he screamed in fright, "Mother, what are you doing?"
Lin Lan: "Pull out your nails if you don't say anything! When your father gets angry, your elder brother will be punished and beaten. If you stay with you, you have to double it!"
"Do you want tiger stools, chili water, and nails?" Lin Lan grinned, "Stir-frying buttocks with thorns, copying texts... Still want to eat double-sized meat!"
This coercion and temptation confused Sanwang, just like being fooled by Dawang before, he immediately surrendered: "Don't fight, I'll do it!"
