Chapter 74 Is This Man Good?
On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, and the neighing was heard early in the morning, and the heat wave was blowing.
Han Qingsong went to work as usual, and the children went to school. Lin Lan had a meeting with Dong Huaihua and Liu Chuncai in the morning, and went home to cook at noon.
Unexpectedly, the children would come back first.
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Why didn’t you go swimming?”
Sanwang: “My second brother said to help my mother wash the clothes.” Mai Sui and Erwang carried a basket of sheets, Da Wang was also carrying a basin, Xiao Wang was carrying hand towels at home, San Wang went to get soap and other supplies.
Lin Lan watched him holding a large piece of soap in his finger, and said, “Isn’t there a big one? Bring it over.”
Sanwang looked at her blankly, “Mother, it’s just this one, nothing big.”
Lin Lan: “It’s gone? Didn’t you just buy a large piece a while ago?”
Erwang: “Mother, it’s gone.” Don’t you know how much soap is used in our household.
Lin Lan also realized, “Really let it run out?” It’s incredible. There was a huge piece of soap a few days ago. Was this soap eaten by her?
Erwang: “Mother, let’s do laundry every day.”
Not to mention that there are more clothes in winter, but in summer, I wear less clothes, but my underwear is changed every day, and vests and shorts are basically washed every day, especially Sanwang’s extremely dirty. Lin Lan uses soap every time she washes her clothes. The current soap is not resistant to use, so it costs extra to use it.
Originally, my mother washed the clothes a little better, but later my father thought that so many clothes were washed for his daughter-in-law, and tired of her, let them wash by themselves.
As a result, Maisui was as big and big as his mother, for fear that the clothes could not be washed clean and soaped several times. Then there were four of their brothers, and his washing clothes were fine, but the older brother was not good. The soap was squeezed out of the soap. , Use it faster. There is another Sanwang boy, because of curiosity, he poked and squeezed for a while, it was almost impossible.
If he hadn’t stared at it, he would have used it quickly.
Lin Lan was in a daze, decided to cover up her life, and smiled, “The quality of soap is not good at this time.”
Not only is it not resistant to use. If the water is too hard or acidic, the soap will not only remove stains, but will also wash out other things. It is best to wash with river water.
Erwang: “When is the soap good? Is it the old one?”
Lin Lan: “Of course it is later.”
Erwang: “What should I do now?”
Lin Lan: “…I think about it, how do other people do it.”
Mai Sui smiled and said, “Mother, we didn’t use soap before, so I used soda noodles. I couldn’t bear to use the soda noodles, so I used burnt grass ash. I took out bubbles from the bottom of the pot and knocked my clothes with a mallet. It’s almost done. .”
Lin Lan waved her hand hurriedly, “What kind of fabric hits it? Don’t be afraid to wash it once a year, wash it once every two or three days, and it doesn’t break twice. Let’s find a way to buy some soap.”
At this time, coupons are all used for soap, one small bar per person per month, which is about 300 grams of soap cut into four pieces with nylon rope, one piece per person, and it costs 8 cents for such a thing. A whole piece costs three cents, which is very expensive, after all, two cents in the countryside will buy Jin noodles.
The country folks don’t have much cash. Salt and matches must be saved on chicken butts. They can be replaced with alkali, plant ash, and hammers like soap. They basically don’t buy them.
Over time, the supply and marketing cooperatives did not issue soap tickets to the brigade. Basically, the members bought their own shares based on their notebooks. Not many buy them, and generally no one buys them.
For the entire Shanzui Village brigade, apart from some people who bought one piece a month, Lin Lan bought more. Not only did he buy out his own share, he also bought Han Qingsong’s extra share. The seven members of Lin Lan’s family could not buy two yuan, but because she became famous in the publicity team, everyone in the supply and marketing agency knew her, and the president personally approved her to buy two yuan. In addition, Han Qingsong’s share of a piece of soap a month.
In this way, buying three bars of soap a month at home is nine cents in total, which is quite extravagant. Even if Dong Huaihua was secretly speechless, she felt that Lin Lan’s household soap was too expensive.
After doing so, Lin Lan felt that it was not about asking for help, but spending so much money on soap a month. Isn’t it appropriate? The key is that the quality of soap is really not good at this time, it is hard and easy to crack, and sometimes the water quality is not right and it is not clean.
Hey, in modern times, Lin Lan can hardly see the dirty feeling. In the laundry detergent washing machine, the clothes are washed in a day or two. When they are washed once a week, there is really no ash.
So after washing off three bars of soap a month, she didn’t feel it either.
“Sanwang, don’t harm the soap.” Erwang watched Sanwang pinch the only small piece of soap in his hand, suddenly anxious.
Sanwang quickly returned it to him, “Second brother, what is this soap made of, it’s slippery.”
Lin Lan’s heart moved, yes, can she figure out how to make her own soap?
Soap is not a difficult thing to make. In her previous life, she had a girlfriend who made some handmade sales while taking children at home. In addition to baking, it was handmade soap and handmade lipstick.
She patted her forehead, it seemed uncomplicated, but it was not feasible at this time.
Because in addition to the strong base, fat, animal fat or other fat leftovers can be used. But at this time, pork suet and butter are so precious that they are all left for cooking. Where would they make soap for her?
She didn’t want to give it up.
So… come back and think of other ways. Hey, there is no washing powder, which is really inconvenient.
Asking Lin Lan to knock with a mallet, she couldn’t bear it, and burned her hands with caustic soda, so she gritted her teeth and decided to buy soap. It’s a big deal to save a little bit in other aspects.
So I stopped washing my clothes and let the children play as they please.
A few days later, she took the time to borrow Dong Huaihua and a few other people’s notebooks and went to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy soap. She wants to buy a large quantity, but the commune does not sell it. The county has a large quantity of goods and it is easy to accommodate.
She talked to Han Qingsong the night before, and left her the bicycle. She went to the county to buy it. Han Qingsong originally wanted to buy it for her, but recently he was busy going to the Shanshui Commune, so she let her go.
After breakfast that day, the children all went to school. Lin Lan brought money, various notebooks, and his identity certificate, just in case he encountered Chalu, so as not to waste his tongue.
When she was about to go out with her bicycle, Han Jinyu ran over and said in a panic: “Sister-in-law, come on, let me ride the bicycle and I will go to the county.”
Seeing her, Lin Lan said, “Why don’t you want your brother to ride to work?” When he came to ride, he was so sure that the car was at home.
Han Jinyu: “Isn’t this at home?” She stepped forward to push.
Lin Lan said: “I have something to go out.”
“Why do you always have something?”
Lin Lan: “I am as free as you are.”
Han Jinyu: You feel uncomfortable if you don’t bother me, are you? Knowing that Lin Lan is going to the county, she said joyfully: “It just so happens that I will go too, let’s be together.”
Lin Lan glanced at her, Han Jinyu has changed a little in the past few days, and he hasn’t spoken so aggressively. The point is, you actually know your name is sister-in-law? The sun is coming out from the west.
Lin Lan: “Then you take me.”
Han Jinyu: “Sister-in-law, are you sister-in-law? I’m going to meet… If I’m tired and sweaty, how embarrassed would I be?”
Lin Lan: “I’m carrying a hand towel with a water bottle, so I wipe it when I sweat.”
Han Jinyu has nothing to do with Lin Lan’s bicycle, so she can do her best. She resignedly carried Lin Lan on the road. However, Lin Lan didn’t make things difficult for her. Lin Lan changed with her more than half way, and then carried all the way to the county.
“Sister-in-law, we make an appointment and time. You have to take me back tonight.”
Lin Lan looked at her, Han Jinyu has changed a lot in the past few days. He never called himself a sister-in-law before. Today, she is not only called a sister-in-law, but his attitude is pretty good. She figured it out in two days? Lin Lan expressed curiosity.
But as long as Han Jinyu understands politeness, Lin Lan will naturally not lose face, “I’m going to the supply and marketing agency, and then we will meet at the entrance of the cinema. Let me tell you, I will wait until four o’clock at the latest, it’s too late. I won’t wait.”
It was still light to go home at four o’clock, and she didn’t go at night, and it didn’t work for good security.
Although Han Jinyu was not happy, he also agreed.
Lin Lan looked at the time and went to the hospital first. She went to Doctor Zhuang to buy TT, and she was teary when she said it. Fortunately, a comrade-in-arms of Han Qingsong sent it over. Otherwise, she and Han Qingsong frequently went to the county hospital to buy this, and they would be able to make the headlines!
When she came out of Doctor Zhuang, she ran into Yang Han who came to look for her. His eyes were teasing when he looked at her.
Lin Lan: “Pangyang Yang, what is your expression!”
Yang Han: “You don’t know if I tell you.”
Lin Lan: Do you know that you are going to lose me? I’m going to break my friendship.
Yang Han laughed, “You still know that you are embarrassed, our Director Han is going to be squeezed dry by you.”
Lin Lan took the bag and swiped him, “Why do you owe you so much? Our Sanwang was beaten up for such a owe, you know.”
Yang Han: “Don’t I think you have become a orchid spirit.” Or you guys are too embarrassed.
When the two were talking, they ran into a few nurses last time, and one of them looked at Lin Lan’s eyes a little bit badly.
Yang Han ignored her and motioned to follow her to his office. When he went to his office, he took out a bag and stuffed it quietly into her shoulder bag, “Don’t say that my brother is not interesting enough.”
Lin Lan: “…” Apart from my family, Han Qingsong, I have a thick-skinned face with others, so I won’t be embarrassed!
Yang Han patted her on the shoulder, and said in the tone of the elder doctor, “Okay, don’t be ashamed of our relationship. It’s just that you are not young, pay attention to maintaining your body.” He smiled after saying that.
Lin Lan gave him a slap on the ribs, “You are poor, you who have no daughter-in-law are not qualified to say such things.”
Yang Han ha ha.
Looking at the time, Yang Han asked her to have a meal, and Lin Lan left the hospital to go to the supply and marketing agency without delaying his work.
Everyone knew her because of the many visits.
She bought four bars of soap all at once, and the salespeople looked at her like aliens, and couldn’t help whispering that she was wealthy, but she didn’t know her life, but she didn’t suspect that she was speculative. After all, soap was expensive, so she bought it for two cents. I didn’t make any money going there, it must be my own household expenses.
At this time, the supplies are scarce, and the money is not easy to make. The salary of the people in the city is 20 to 30 yuan a month, including all the expenses for buying grain, oil, rape, meat, eggs, toilet paper, coal, etc. Such a piece of soap needs to be cut into quarters with a nylon cord to sell. A small piece of soap costs eight cents. People in the city only have such a piece a month. Many people buy such a whole piece even for seven or eight people a month, and it will be enough.
She, a country girl, actually bought so much!
Naturally, Lin Lan would not explain to others, she also had blood in her heart. The quality of soap was too low to resist use, and it was expensive, but there was no better substitute. She could only do that.
Lin Lan murmured in her heart, but the calm and generous demeanor on her face made the salespersons wonder in their hearts.
It was already half past one after I got out of the supply and marketing agency, Lin Lan casually strolled around to get to know the county town, but didn’t see where pianos were sold. I guess I would have to go to big cities to buy them. She doesn’t have any money now, so naturally she doesn’t think about it, and waits for Xiaowang to fix her eyes first.
She went to wait at the entrance of the cinema first, but she didn’t expect that Han Jinyu was already here.
Seeing Lin Lan, she was still a little unhappy.
Soon a thin and tall young man came over holding the ticket. He was dressed in ordinary clothes worn by people in the city, his hair was smeared, and a pen was inserted in his left chest pocket. When I saw them, I immediately laughed and said, “Hello, my name is Liu Haozhe.”
Lin Lan originally thought that his appearance was quite ordinary, his face was slightly longer, his lips were slightly thin, and he looked a little unsympathetic, but when he laughed, his whole body became alive, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he was smiling from the inside out. Yes, full of infectious power.
Lin Lan looked surprised secretly, but didn’t expect that there would be such a person. She has seen a lot of people in her previous life, from all walks of life, and various personalities. Naturally, she has also seen this kind of people.
That is, he usually looks listless and has no enthusiasm for anything, but once he finds that he is interested, he will be full of spring breeze.
It seems that he should be quite satisfied with Han Jinyu.
She smiled, “Hello, I’m Han Qingshan’s third sister-in-law.”
“Sansao?” Liu Haozhe looked unbelievable, “No way, or else I think you are not married.”
Lin Lan knew that this was a scheming one when he was overly flattering, but she still smiled politely, “You are too good at flattering people.”
With a few greetings, Liu Haozhe immediately ran to buy a popsicle and two ice creams. At this time, the popsicles are frozen in a little bit of sweet water, three cents apiece, if it is ice cream, it costs a dime apiece.
Liu Haozhe handed the ice cream to Lin Lan and Han Jinyu and ate popsicles by himself, “It’s too hot this day. After we eat the ice cream, we can almost go to the movies.”
Lin Lan looked at the watch, Han Jinyu’s expression changed, and the watch is still hers!
“Are you only watching the movie now?” Lin Lan was puzzled. After all this has been out for one day, why did you all go, and only then are you watching the movie?
Liu Haozhe explained: “Comrade Qingshan can’t stay at night and can only watch during the day. The number of movies during the day is limited.” After all, most people leave work in the afternoon to watch movies, and there are very few days during the day.
Han Jinyu glanced at Liu Haozhe, smiled, his expression was not very happy.
Liu Haozhe didn’t even see it, and he still talked to them enthusiastically, “My friend bought the movie tickets for me. He originally wanted to come, but as a result, he has something to do. You can watch it with us. Sister-in-law, or you’re there. It’s boring to wait here.”
He handed a ticket to Lin Lan.
Lin Lan shook her head: “Let’s see, I can just go shopping over there.” She is not interested in watching movies at this time, so she might as well take a stroll to see if there is any chance of making money.
Speaking of her man is the Director of the Public Security Bureau, she hasn’t done anything. After all, it is inconvenient. Although everyone wants to speculate and make some money, public opinion is not good, but after all it is a violation of the policy, so she didn’t think about it.
But there is still no burden to buy other people’s speculative things to enrich one’s life.
Liu Haozhe said: “Sister-in-law, this ticket will be invalidated if you don’t look at it. Go ahead.” He gave the ticket to Han Jinyu.
Han Jinyu pouted and looked at Lin Lan: “You are going to chant? People have invited you.” She looked at Lin Lan and hesitated, and put the ticket into her hand, muttering: “You are really hard to serve. “Lin Lan had to agree.
When entering the venue, Han Jinyu saw that the ticket sellers also sold melon seeds on their behalf. They didn’t need tickets, but they were expensive. Liu Haozhe didn’t take the initiative to say to buy, and she didn’t say anything, but she was a little unhappy.
After entering, Lin Lan sat next to Han Jinyu.
There was nothing good about the movie at this time, but the people present watched it with gusto. Lin Lan managed to get through the movie and looked at the time. She just went home before four o’clock. Out of the cinema, the sun is still high, and the heat wave is still blowing.
Liu Haozhe said: “Sansao, why don’t you have a meal before leaving.”
Han Jinyu: “It’s so expensive to eat in restaurants, so stop eating.”
Liu Haozhe smiled and said: “Restaurants are expensive, but we don’t go to restaurants. There is a humpbacked man next to him. His cooking and noodle making are especially delicious, especially his nine-turn large intestine, which is absolutely delicious.”
Han Jinyu was very moved.
Lin Lan said: “Whether you eat next time? I still have children at home, so I have to go home.”
Han Jinyu looked at her dissatisfied, and Lin Lan was unmoved because she was holding her back.
Liu Haozhe said, “If that’s the case, then next time.” He went to buy another package of melon seeds for the two of them to eat.
Han Jinyu: “Why don’t you buy it when you are watching a movie?”
Liu Haozhe said: “Watching movies and eating melon seeds quack affects others.”
Lin Lan glanced at him because of these words, but he didn’t expect him to be quite qualified.
When Liu Haozhe saw her looking at herself, he smiled at her. Lin Lan found that he was really good at laughing, which made people truly feel that he was laughing, and he was smiling very sincerely.
Lin Lan pushed the bicycle and waited for Han Jinyu and Liu Haozhe to leave.
Liu Haozhe smiled and said, “Comrade Qingshan, you are young and strong, and you take your sister-in-law.”
Han Jinyu: “…My leg hurts.”
Lin Lan: For a small sample, I will give you face first, and then let you give your strength after you leave the city. She waved with Liu Haozhe and left with Han Jinyu. When they left the city, they changed with Han Jinyu.
Although Han Jinyu was unhappy, he changed. It seemed that he was enduring something to the limit, but he didn’t explode after all.
Lin Lan is not familiar with her, and the two are quite right. Naturally, she doesn’t care about her blind date. She feels that Han Jinyu is upset, but she doesn’t ask why she is upset.
Love is happy or not.
When he arrived in the village, Han Jinyu returned the car to Lin Lan, and went home without saying anything.
Han Qinghua was waiting to have a meal at the door, watching her come back, smiled and said, “How about a blind date?”
Han Jinyu was so angry that he smashed the bag in his arms and cursed: “What kind of broken object did you introduce? It’s been a day, and my throat is smoking and I am not willing to buy a popsicle. She will buy ice cream for her as soon as she goes! Then she will be courteous! , Go on a blind date with me or with her?”
