The person who came was Han Qinghua. He changed his arrogance and arrogance from the past, and his smile was calm and steady. He looked three-pointed to Han Qingsong.
Han Qinghua herself is good-looking. She has been spoiled since she was a child and has been accustomed to raising fine skin and tender meat. She has also read books, and she is a bit more handsome than a countryman. It's just that he used to be too squeamish and sleazy. He was a ruffian. He wore a military green uniform all day long, with a crooked military cap, and he was like a jerk while straddling a bicycle.
After being trained on the labor reform farm, he has grown a lot taller, his slightly longer hair has been shaved into a flat inch, his originally fair skin has also been tanned to wheatish color, and then he smiles like a harmless human and animal, the whole temperament has changed a lot. Change, looks like a good young man.
Dawang's face sank at first, but then returned to his original state, and handed the pole to Han Qinghua for him to come.
Han Qinghua sure was sticky, and told them to keep their voices low, not to approach, "The one in the tree can hear your movements."
For a moment, he also glued a few.
Erwang and Sanwang had already run home and quickly told Lin Lan, "Mother, I'm back in Si Dada!"
Lin Lan was having a face-to-face meeting in the room, and she was stunned for a while when she heard that Sidada, and then realized it was Han Qinghua.
Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously thought that Han Qinghua was here to make trouble. She quickly washed her hands, took off her apron, and followed the child to take a look.
It happened that Han Qinghua and Da Wang came over and met Lin Lan at the gate. He handed over the pole to Da Wang and handed over to Lin Lan, smiling brightly, "Sister-in-law three, my brother came to apologize to you, it was me before. It's such a jerk."
As he spoke, he bowed to Lin Lan.
Lin Lan frowned slightly, "Han Qinghua, what the hell are you doing?" He wanted to come back, why didn't Han Qingsong tell her in advance, didn't he know
Han Qinghua straightened up with a look of grievance, "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me, I really came to apologize. I have realized that I was wrong. I used to be a jerk, but now I know it's wrong." He saw a stick standing in the corner of the wall. A thin stick, he stepped forward and pulled it in his hand.
Da Wang's expression changed, and he immediately stood in front of Lin Lan to block her.
Seeing their nervous appearance, Han Qinghua laughed and said, "They are all good children. When they grow up, they know how to protect their mother." He smiled bitterly, "I used to be bad, I was too jerk, so you misunderstood." He turned the stick upside down. He handed it to Lin Lan, "Sister-in-law, you beat me to vent your anger, and let's see how I behave in the future."
Lin Lan: "You don't have to."
Han Qinghua was so polite and sensible all of a sudden, which made Lin Lan subconsciously wonder if he was reborn or was wearing it. Why is it so strange? What kind of education does a pampered and abandoned boy need to make him change so well
There is almost no trace of the past! And his smile was so clear, it didn't look like he was pretending. That's how scary!
Because Lin Lan has five children, she has to be cautious. Unconsciously, she loves her children more than anything.
At this time, Han Jinyu ran over from outside and said angrily, "Jinbao, what are you doing!"
Han Qinghua said: "Sister, you come too, let's apologize to the third sister-in-law, we were all bad in the past."
Han Jinyu snorted, "You are like Sanwang, your brain is flooded."
Sanwang: Tell me why! Am I hindering you
Lin Lan glanced at them and slowly relaxed. Seeing that Han Qinghua didn't seem to be here for revenge, she was not so nervous, "Are you coming back to visit relatives?" She definitely didn't put it back, otherwise Han Qingsong wouldn't tell her. she.
Han Qinghua smiled and nodded, "Yes." He talked to Dawang again, "Don't be nervous, I'm not as miserable as everyone thinks on the farm, I usually work like you."
He is different from the thieves in Zhao Jianshe. He was caught reading a banned book. This type of prisoner is not a reform-through-labor prisoner. And even Chai, Liu Chun and those thieves, going to the farm are mainly labor, and they will not be controlled too much. As long as you don't run away and keep discipline, you'll be fine.
It's just for Han Qinghua, who used to be pampered and dislike labor, but now works like everyone else every day. This is a very serious reform through labor.
That's why Han Qingsong insisted on sending it to him.
Anyway, working at home is similar to working on the farm, both to allow him to earn work points to support himself. If he really became like this, then Han Qingsong's painstaking efforts were not in vain, and it was fruitful.
But Lin Lan wouldn't believe it so quickly, she said, "Your third brother didn't come back from work, you go back first, and I'll tell him when he comes home."
Han Qinghua wanted to say something, but was pulled by Han Jinyu, she said angrily: "You are stupid, she made it clear that she will not let you in."
Han Qinghua: "Sister, it was my fault in the past, which made the third sister-in-law angry. That's right." He said to Lin Lan, "The third sister-in-law, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back when my third brother comes back."
He pulled Han Jinyu away.
On the way, Han Jinyu kept complaining to him, "Are you saying that you are tired and stupid? You just come home, and your mother has not said a few warm words to you, so you come to be scorned by her? You are really wrong. ."
Han Qinghua: "Sister, why didn't you hear what I said. I was wrong in the past, so I must accompany my sister-in-law when I come back, right?"
Han Jinyu looked at him as if he didn't know him, "Jinbao, are you serious?"
Han Qinghua: "Do you think I'm lying? I don't like to lie when I was young."
Han Jinyu was in a hurry, and ran to the house. As soon as he entered the door, he rushed to the main room and grabbed Mrs. Han's hand, "Mother, it's amazing, our Jinbao has been replaced by someone."
Han Qinghua followed behind and entered the room, "You guys are too strange, can't I correct my evil and return to the right?"
However, the old lady Han felt that her son did not know how much abuse he had suffered on the farm, so she changed his previous temperament to this, hugged him and touched him hard, and cried, "My poor Jinbao, how much he has suffered. You look so tanned, so rough..."
Han Qinghua patted her head, "I think it's pretty good, look at how masculine I am now." The old lady Han just kept crying, and Han Jinyu couldn't accept him.
In the patio, Han's second sister-in-law looked at her and pouted her lips. She only cared about washing her own clothes, ignoring the several items that Han Jinyu had piled up next to her.
Han Jinyu piled it up on purpose, just wanted to bury the second sister-in-law of Han, and wanted her to wash it. That's how she ran on Sister-in-law Han at the beginning. Sister-in-law Han threw her own when she washed her clothes. Sister-in-law Han couldn't see it and washed it. Han Er's sister-in-law naturally won't get used to it. If you leave it for a year and leave it for a lifetime, it will stink and rot, and she won't wash it!
Han Jinyu ran out to wash clothes, but found that there was not enough water in the tank, so she wanted to go to Han Er's sister-in-law's tank to scoop.
Han Er's sister-in-law immediately stopped her, "You can't wash in the river on a hot day."
In the house, Han Qinghua heard, "Wait, I'll pick it up." He took the initiative to fetch water, not only filling the tank in the old lady's house, but also the tank of Han Er's sister-in-law.
Han Er's sister-in-law looked at him in surprise, "Fourth, you are... OK."
Han Qinghua smiled, revealing neat white teeth, "Second sister-in-law, call me whatever you want in the future."
Han Er's sister-in-law said tentatively: "Fourth, how long will you stay here?"
Han Qinghua: "Just go back when the autumn harvest is over. If you want to collect sorghum sticks, you can't do without people."
Han's second sister-in-law looked in disbelief. The reform-through-labor farm was a good place. She looked at Han Jinyu, why didn't she send Han Jinyu to the reform-through-labor as well.
Han Jinyu felt Han's second sister-in-law's unkind eyes, and said angrily, "What do you think I'm doing?"
Sister-in-law Han: "I'm not thinking that the farm is so good."
"It's so good, you can go!" Han Jinyu threw his hands into the room angrily.
Han's second sister-in-law was not angry, and even asked Han Qinghua from east to west.
The old lady Han felt distressed in the house that her precious son was suffering and tired, and her mind was not feeling well, "Jinyu, is your third brother back? Let him come over and ask."
Besides, Lin Lan was also wondering. After the children went to school, she thought about it at home and felt that she still had to do some preparation. She also put sticks, wooden forks, etc. in the house and the yard where she can easily hold it. If Han Qinghua does anything, she will have a buffer.
Then she began to disassemble and wash the quilts and cotton-padded clothes. There were five or six quilts at home, and everyone's padded jackets had to be disassembled, washed, dried, and re-sewed in turn.
At this time, Sister-in-law Han came over, carrying a bunch of freshly picked tomatoes with a dust shovel, "Brother and sister, look at these foreign persimmons, the persimmons are ripe in a day, I'll bring you some."
Lin Lan's vegetable garden also has them, but she has many children, and the children love to eat cold persimmons, and they consume as much as they can, and people who are close friends will give her some.
Lin Lan took a gourd and placed the persimmon next, "Sister-in-law, the fourth child is back."
Sister-in-law Han didn't know yet, "The fourth child? Is he a four-year-old Dada?"
Lin Lan nodded.
Sister-in-law Han frowned, "It was originally said that he would be able to come back to visit relatives after a year and a half. You looked at him, how does he look? Is he still a mess?"
Lin Lan talked about Han Qinghua's arrival.
Sister-in-law Han said, "Is this corrected?" One of her thoughts was also suspicious.
Lin Lan: "I don't know, let's take a look." Seeing people's hearts after a long time, they are all ordinary people, and they can't pretend for too long. If they have a tail, they will always be exposed, and he probably won't stay for too long.
Sister-in-law Han was a little worried, "You'd better be careful, but don't have any good intentions."
The sister-in-law talked for a while. Sister-in-law Han saw that Lin Lan was unpacking and washing the bedding. She also had work at home and left first.
In the afternoon, Han Qinghua didn't come again, and Lin Lan was removing the quilt at home. She always wanted to make a quilt to cover the quilt, but after all, she didn't have enough money, so she still took off the quilt every summer, washed it and dried it in the sun.
She dismantles the boys first.
Although her family is hygienic, she sends her children to wash their feet and faces every day and take a bath every few days. Even so, their quilts are even more dirty. After all, it is only disassembled and washed once a year, and the sanitary quilt will also be dirty.
It is conceivable that other people's homes are not so hygienic. From autumn to spring, this quilt is really as dirty as iron.
In addition to the cotton quilts, the family's cotton-padded clothes must also be disassembled and washed. The cotton rolls need to be replaced with cotton, the old ones need to be replaced with new cotton, and the smaller cotton clothes need to be replaced with larger ones. In short, there are many things.
Cotton coats are better, because she made coats and undercoats for the children so they could wear them, so they wouldn't get too dirty. Unlike most children in the village who wear a hollow jacket, a jacket and a pair of trousers, wear it alone when it's hot, and cotton wool when it's cold, so it's unimaginably dirty.
It's hard to sew, but easy to dismantle. Thinking of Han Qingsong helping her sew quilts and coats at that time, Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh.
Because there were too many quilts and cotton coats, and it took half a day to remove them, she folded the removed cotton cores, tied them with a bag, and put them in the cabinet to avoid dust and dirt.
It was almost time for her to prepare dinner.
Now the children go to mowing the grass after school to earn work points, and they have to go for a swim in the river when they are interested, so they don't come back early.
When she was washing vegetables, Han Qingsong came back. Lin Lan gave him one of the washed tomatoes. Originally, Han Qingsong didn't eat snacks, but Lin Lan asked him to eat melons and fruits when he had something to do. He was used to it.
Han Qingsong took it and took a bite. The tomatoes grown by himself in the vegetable garden looked pink, sweet and sandy, plump and juicy, with a particularly sweet taste.
Lin Lan: "The fourth child is back, do you know?"
Hearing this, Han Qingsong stopped for a while and started eating again, "I can come back to visit my family now, has he been here?"
Lin Lan nodded, "I was hanging out with the children at the door at noon, and it looks like a lot has changed."
Han Qingsong: "Labor can transform people."
Lin Lan said, "Go and have a look."
"Let's talk after dinner." Han Qingsong was not in a hurry. When he usually went to Shanshui Farm for office, he would stop by to see the fourth child, so there was nothing special to see.
When it was more than six o'clock, the children ran back together. In addition to mowing the grass for the production team, they also brought back some tender wild vegetables to feed the ducks. Their ducks are also very sensible. They go to the river to eat fish and shrimp during the day, but they never lay eggs in the river. They lay eggs in the nest at night or in the morning.
The boys had just entered the water, all wearing swimming trunks, Mai Sui was leading Xiaowang with two schoolbags on his back.
When they got home, they did it too. They changed out of their swimming trunks and put on their tank tops and came out to help.
Lin Lan held the pot and sent a tomato to quench her thirst first. Then Dawang Sanwang cleaned the yard, Han Qingsong moved the dining table to the yard, Erwang Maisui helped set the meal, and Xiaowang went to inspect the chickens, ducks, ducks and dogs at home.
Especially Wangwang, who went out in estrus a while ago and was married. She was pregnant with a puppy, and it is estimated that she will give birth at the end of this month. Xiao Wang is very concerned.
After packing up, the family sat in the yard talking and enjoying the cool while eating.
The evening wind blew through the garden, and even the cicada could not stand the heat and was still screaming, making the courtyard more and more full of the charm of a farmhouse.
Lin Lan now thinks that eating is a very interesting thing.
Since Xiaowang and Sanwang got together, they sat on one side during dinner, and Lin Lan sat on the side opposite the door because she wanted to serve food, so Han Qingsong and Dawang sat opposite her together.
The father and son have a kind of synchronization without knowing it, the same unsmiling, and sometimes the same actions when eating.
Take a look at Mai Sui and Er Wang on the left, both of them are of the literary style, even in such a small farmyard, the two children have a unique elegance. On the right, Sanwang and Xiaowang, one is cute and quiet, white and tender, the other has a head and a head, and is as black as Bao Gong, but if Sanwang gets up, Xiaowang will laugh with him, and the two brothers will open their mouths and smile. Eye.
Xiaowang can no longer see the shadow of autism, it's good.
Lin Lan couldn't help laughing.
At this time, all the family members at the table looked at her.
Sanwang: "Mother, why are you snickering?"
Lin Lan smiled and rolled her eyes: "Mother is happy, I feel so happy to have you together every day."
Xiaowang said loudly, "Mother, me too!"
After he finished speaking, he used his arm to abduct Sanwang, and Sanwang immediately said: "Of course, such a good day will not be exchanged for a daughter-in-law."
Now someone is teasing him about finding a daughter-in-law for him. Children don't understand, so naturally they don't care about a daughter-in-law.
Everyone laughed.
Only Han Qingsong and Dawang, their expressions were softer, but they didn't say anything.
Xiaowang looked at his father curiously, "Father, are you hot?"
They play in the water every day, and they still feel warm in their trousers and vests. Dad always wears a uniform. The uniform is long trousers and short sleeves, and there are no shorts. It was even hotter to eat and drink porridge at the moment. He and the third brother were sweating constantly on their faces, but Dad didn't seem to be that hot, only there were beads of sweat on their noses.
Xiaowang felt that his father must be very hot and hard, so tired that he would not sweat!
Han Qingsong: "It's okay."
Xiaowang immediately climbed off the stool, ran into the room with a fan from the stove, and fanned Han Qingsong thoughtfully.
"Hahaha..." Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh, and Sanwang laughed even more exaggeratedly, putting down the porridge bowl, "Brother Xiaowang, if it's too hot to sweat, it's a fever."
When Xiaowang heard that his father had a fever, it was even worse, and he quickly said: "Mother, give Dad a piece of An Naijin!"
Everyone put their bowls down, so as not to burst out laughing.
Han Qingsong touched Xiaowang's head with his big hand, "Let's eat, Dad doesn't have a fever, but he doesn't like to sweat."
Lin Lan said with a smile: "Your father is not afraid of cold in winter, and not afraid of heat in summer. This is called good health, so you should exercise and learn."
After dinner, Sanwang still wanted to go to Zhiliaogui, but Dawang said that he would not go today.
Sanwang: "Brother, why don't you go?"
Dawang: "I'm tired today, I'll go tomorrow."
Sanwang exaggerated: "Big brother, are you still tired? I thought you would never know you are tired." He was very surprised that neither he nor Xiaowang were tired. Why is Big Brother still tired? But Dawang said he didn't want to go, and Sanwang couldn't do anything, so he wanted Erwang to lead them there.
Lin Lan said: "It's tiring to go looking every day. You have to get up early in the morning and you can't sleep. I don't think it's going to rain this day, so don't go there." It was overcast and dark, and electric lights flickered faintly in the thick clouds on the horizon.
Sanwang also said the same thing when seeing his mother, "Xiaowang, let's put it at the door and look for it."
Xiaowang held the empty wine bottle he usually took, "Let's go."
At this time, Han Qingsong said that he would go to the concubine's house, and Lin Lan would pack some peaches for him to bring, which were sent by Dong Huaihua.
Before he could pass, Han Qinghua came.
"Fourth brother!" Han Qinghua greeted happily as soon as he entered the door, holding a few tomatoes in his hand. He placed it on the table and looked at Lin Lan: "Sister-in-law, what my mother gave you is sweet."
Lin Lan smiled, "Thank you, have you eaten yet?"
Han Qinghua: "I ate."
The children all said hello to Si Dada.
He saw that Sanwang was going to find Zhi Liaogui, and he excitedly said, "I'll go with you."
Lin Lan hurriedly said: "Sit down and talk, they will look for them at the door." Mai Sui and Erwang put away the tableware and chopsticks, wiped the table, and then brought the teapot and bowl.
Han Qingsong let the fourth brother sit and poured him some water. Inside was Lin Lan's homemade fruit tea, which was sweet and sour to quench his thirst.
Han Qinghua took a sip and boasted, "It's delicious!"
Han Qingsong: "Your sister-in-law did it."
Lin Lan's family usually does not prepare tea leaves. At this time, the quality of the local tea is not good. Han Qingsong is a man who does not have much appetite. However, she usually dries some dried hawthorn and the like, boils water with hawthorn and red dates, and pours it into a soup pot to dry and drink for a day.
Han Qinghua saw Dawang sitting on the water table beside him playing with the slingshot in his hand, and smiled, "Dawang, you have grown taller."
Dawang hummed, "Si Dada has grown taller too."
Han Qinghua began to say that when she was with Dawang before, "You kid is also very good, so you dare to play around in the county."
Dawang had no expression on his face, and of course he didn't mention the whip.
After chatting for a while, Han Qinghua still had no idea, "Third brother, let's talk to the eldest brother and the second brother."
Han Qingsong looked at Lin Lan.
Lin Lan said, "Go, it's all right at home." She just dismantled the quilts and coats, and she didn't have much work to do.
Han Qingsong went out with Han Qinghua, and Dawang hesitated to follow.
Lin Lan: "eldest son, you haven't done your homework yet."
Dawang: "It was written in school." Then he went out.
Soon Lin Lan, Mai Sui and Er Wang were left in the family.
Mai Sui whispered: "Mother, do you think my Si Dada has really changed?"
Lin Lan said, "It's not a good idea." After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, but they can't deny it outright. Maybe people will change for the better.
Erwang said: "Mother, I don't know why, but I am a little flustered when I laugh at Si Dada."
Lin Lan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why are you flustered, your father is here."
Erwang said embarrassedly, "I don't know why, but I just don't trust him. Mother, do you think I'm too suspicious?"
"Son, you're right to be so careful. After all, people are separated from each other, so we don't let him see that we suspect him."
The three laughed.
After a while, Sanwang and Xiaowang came back, and the two of them were still unfinished, because there was not much to look for at the door of the house, but the two boys did not dare to go far, for fear that their parents would be worried.
Lin Lan comforted the two of them: "Tomorrow your elder brother will lead you to find them."
The children didn't say anything, just listened to the radio, and soon Dawang came back, saying that the father was talking to the uncle.
Lin Lan was afraid that it would rain in the middle of the night, so she led the children to tidy up the yard. The grass that should be saved would be put away in the south house, the house and everything that should be put away were also put away, and the tanks used for rainwater were also put away. Under the eaves, as well as the ditch, it should be opened so as not to be blocked by sundries.
Many people's houses are low and the gutters are blocked. They have not been cleaned up in advance. When it rains heavily in the middle of the night, the rain will pour into the house. Lin Lan's house is a new house, and the foundation is two steps higher, so there is no need to worry about this.
After cleaning up, she asked the children to wash up and get on the kang earlier, and get up early in the morning for morning exercises. When the children rested, Lin Lan went to the kang to write something and waited for Han Qingsong. He didn't come back until almost ten o'clock, and there was a blush at the end of his eyes, which must have been drinking.
"Drinking with the fourth child?" Han Qingsong is not a drinker. He only drinks half a cup of tea every day, so he can't tell that he is drunk. At this moment, the end of his eyes are red, and it seems that at least one tea bowl has been poured into it. Lin Lan felt a little uncomfortable.
Han Qingsong: "Well, there are branch secretary and them."
Lin Lan didn't ask any more questions, anyway, if there was anything he would say.
Han Qingsong took off his clothes and went to take a shower. He came back soon, wiped clean on the kang, and said, "The fourth can stay until the autumn harvest, he will do his part, you don't have to worry."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "With you, what am I worried about?"
Naturally, she wouldn't say she believed Han Qinghua's words at will, and of course she wouldn't belittle him. After all, he was a brother and mother, and she only said she believed him.
Han Qingsong lay on her lap, "My head is a little dizzy."
Lin Lan rubbed his temples, "How much do you drink, my head is dizzy."
Her fingers were flexible and firm enough to press him comfortably, and she leaned against her arms again, "I just fainted." After drinking, his hands were not so serious.
Lin Lan held down his wiggly hands and put a pillow on him, "I'll make you a bowl of sober soup." Just as she was about to leave, he was wrapped around his waist and pressed against his chest, she gave him a sullen look. , "Don't faint."
"Looking at you like this, you're even more dizzy." His eyes were full of deep affection, and the blush at the end of his eyes made his original cold and determined expression a little more romantic.
Lin Lan couldn't help but swayed in her heart, bowed her head and kissed him.
As soon as he rolled over, he pressed her down and started kissing her, "...so hangover..."
After drinking, his usual restraint and forbearance were thrown away, and his movements were domineering and tough, making Lin Lan unable to resist and begging for mercy again and again.
…
After a long time, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, he let go of her contentedly.
Lin Lan was already exhausted.
There was a smile in his voice, "Now I'm sober." Then he bit her earlobe incessantly, she had fallen asleep.
There was a thunderstorm in the second half of the night, and the air was filled with abundant water vapor, which was a lot cooler. Lin Lan was so tired that she didn't smell at all, and she slept comfortably in his arms.
