    Han Qingsong's allowances are sent once a quarter, not by himself, and all are entrusted to the army's logistics for unified processing.

    These two days are the remittance arrival date of the second quarter. First, the postman will send the remittance list to the county. The postman will send the remittance list to the house at least three days later because of the lack of manpower.

    Lin Lan wanted to take advantage of this time difference. She would go to the county town to get the money order first, and the old lady would take out the money in one step.

    At the earliest, Han Qingsong remittances were written in the name of the old man, and the old lady would take the letter of introduction and the old man's personal seal to withdraw the money.

    Later, gave birth to Xiaowang. In the past few years, the original owner has been making trouble every year. Han Qingsong has to remit the money to her, and the old lady Han naturally refuses to agree, so Han Qingsong simply asked Lin Lan’s name to be written, both of them. You can get money, but the original owner has never had a chance to get money.

    Lin Lan waited for Xiaowang to finish eating, and then led him out for a walk to digest.

    In the alley, she ran into a boy in the village playing with Sanwang, and quickly asked him, "Mavericks, where is Sanwang?"

    The calf was taken aback by her, and didn't dare to look at her, so he dashed away, "Where is Nanhe."

    Lin Lan took Xiaowang on his back and headed to the south of the village. On the way, many people in the village came across and they all peeked at her covertly.

    "Is she okay? Didn't she say that she died of foaming at her mouth?"

    "Don't talk nonsense, it's the water mixed with the empty medicine bottle."

    "Hey, do you think Han Qingsong really wants to divorce her?"

    "Shhh, she's here."

    Lin Lan passed by with Xiao Wang on her back and glanced at the woman who was gossiping about her divorce. She was considered one of the former enemies of the original owner. She learned from the original owner's expression and tone, "I won't marry you even if you get divorced."

    "You!" The woman was so angry.

    Lin Lan left leisurely.

    "Is she wicked?"

    Why don't you let Sapo lie? Before that, she would definitely be swearing and jumping off her feet. People who had some good things liked to anger her and watch her make a fool of herself.

    Lin Lan came to the South River with Xiao Wang on his back, and saw Sanwang's stinky boy swimming happily in the river like a duck.

    Stinky boy, don't even care about food.

    "Sanwang, come up!" Lin Lan called to him.

    Sanwang heard her mother cry, and she dived into the water like a fish, but did not emerge for a long time.

    Lin Lan was shocked when she saw it, "Han Wangmin, you can get me up quickly!"

    Some people who came out after the meal to find the tortoise heard that they knew that the shrew of the Han family was spoiling again, and they came here to watch the excitement either intentionally or unintentionally.

    Sanwang was reluctant to leave, but in the end he was afraid that Lin Lan would get angry, so he swam over reluctantly and climbed ashore with a dazed look, "Mother, what are you here."

    "Where is your second brother?"

    "Didn't you go home to send melons? I found a wild melon when I was cutting the grass and asked my second brother to send it home to my mother to eat."

    Lin Lan estimated that Erwang hid somewhere and ate it by herself. She told Sanwang to go home to eat as soon as possible.

    Thinking of this kid drowning in the water later, Lin Lan felt that good luck made him stay away from the water.

    Sanwang didn't care, "Mother, I'm good at water."

    A 7-year-old child is not sensible if he wants to stay in the modern age, but like a little adult, he can do more than his brother by cutting grass and catching fish every day.

    "Have you never heard that drowning can cause water? Who will come to the river if there is no water?" Lin Lan urged him to go home.

    Although Sanwang followed home, he didn't take it seriously and talked about it excitedly.

    Back to the village to watch Sanwang's house, Lin Lan also went to the brigade department with Xiaowang on his back, because the branch secretary came here to chat after dinner.

    At this time, every family had dinner, and the men gathered in twos and threes to enjoy the coolness and talk. The summer season is weeding, there is nothing to do at night, and roads and reservoirs have not been built recently, so the members are relatively free.

    A long way away, heard the sound of the play box jiliquala brought by the secretary, singing the Peking Opera "Red Lantern".

    Seeing Lin Lan coming with the child on his back, the villagers looked at her one after another, even the play box was not even listening, and there was a lot of discussion.

    "What is she doing with the little fool?"

    I used to hear that she disliked Xiaowang, but she didn't lead Xiaowang out to play.

    Is this really evil today?

    When she was just trying to make trouble for her death, everyone said that she was silly, and when she got used to it, people didn’t make squeaky things now, and everyone felt more like an evil.

    Lin Lan thinks that it is also good to have a reputation as a shrew and protect the body. Anyway, the reputation has fallen to the bottom, basically there is nothing to be ashamed of others to do not dare to gossip.

    For example, she pretended not to see those who talked with his wife's tongue and walked past with her head high, so she definitely didn't need to say hello.

    Saying hello will scare them.

    It is also an unwritten rule that men play with men in the brigade department, and women will be teased if they come over. At this time, country men are not good at expressing feelings with their own women. Except for work, some men will never gossip and exchange feelings with their own wives. This is also weird.

    "Party secretary, captain, let me write a letter of introduction!" Lin Lan was not afraid of being heard, but instead learned to shout loudly before.

    The advantage of this is that there are many microphones, almost synchronized, and the party secretary and the captain heard them, and someone responded for them.

    She knew where the two were and went with her child on her back.

    "I said Qingsong daughter-in-law, are you okay?" The cadres didn't have much prejudice, and they took the initiative to care.

    Lin Lan tried her best not to be out of style, and said with a grim face, "It's okay. I want to open a letter of introduction and go to the county town tomorrow."

    "What are you doing to the county seat?"

    "Look at my Xiaowang. He is four years old and his eyes are not good. I want to take him to the hospital."

    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They went to see a doctor, not to complain.

    She had made trouble before. She felt that Han Qingsong would not go home and her mother-in-law treated her harshly, so she had to go to the county revolutionary committee to file a complaint.

    If a soldier's family file a complaint or report, that is a very serious behavior.

    Fortunately, it didn't make it.

    The captain exchanged glances with the party secretary, did you ask the old man Han?

    The secretary winked at the accountant next to him, who hurriedly went to the old man to ask.

    Lin Lan said again: "The party secretary, can I borrow five dollars? I will pay back if I don't finish it, I will use work points to make up for it when I spend it."

    Soon the accountant came back and made a gesture. There was such a thing.

    The party secretary happily approved, went back to the room, took the letter paper, wrote a few words, affixed a seal, and asked Lin Lan to press her handprint.

    "Thank you for the party secretary, thank you for the captain." Lin Lan accepted the letter of introduction and the money, and asked Xiao Wang to thank him again.

    Seeing that she is so polite, everyone is at a loss. This is... not right.

    Does the tigress still say thank you? Being so courteous is like a city dweller who reads.

    Lin Lan didn't say much, leaving them to make up for it, and went home with Xiao Wang on his back.

    As soon as she left, the court fryed the pot and asked what was going on.

    The old man over there was still angry that she was an old lady who came to the men’s den. Later, he heard that he was borrowing money to see the child. He felt that his old face was hot again, as if his family treated her third family harshly and refused to treat her child. Same disease.

    "This girl, I said at home that I would send them to the doctor if I was not busy for two days, so why ran over by myself."

    Those who are caring also understand that if the autumn harvest is a few days later, it will be busier. Where can go?

    It's nothing more than the old lady not giving the money to the flowers. If the youngest son and daughter have a headache, she ran to the hospital early.

    With Lin Lan's foreshadowing, the old head Han didn't think much about it. He even took the initiative to tell the old lady Lin Lan to borrow five yuan from the brigade, and waited for him to tell the team to use home work points.

    That night, Lin Lan told Erwang to watch Sanwang carefully, and then asked Erwang to quietly go to the kitchen cupboard to get dry food.

    As a result, Er Wang took out two slap-sized cakes, "Mother, I've finished eating."

    The family has a large family, and the dry food is basically eaten that day, and I will make another day the next day.

    Lin Lan had to give up, and then quietly took the military kettle brought back by Han Qingsong and filled it with water and hid it.

    The old lady Han on Dongjian kang heard the movement and remembered to take a look, but was pressed by the old man, "I guess the child is drinking water, so I'll get sleepy."

    Early the next morning, before dawn, Lin Lan got up and took Xiao Wang to the county seat.

    Because there was not enough dry food and no food stamps, she had to go around to the vegetable garden and quietly pick two cucumbers to satisfy her hunger. As for the old lady, she would scold at that time and let her go.

    There is only one dirt road from Shanzui Village to the county seat. Walking east along the Nanhe River, less than fifty miles away, she has to walk for a long time with her children.

    After all, she is a squeamish modern person, with air conditioning in hot weather and heating in cold weather. She has never carried a child like this against the hot sun.

    It was hot and tired, and felt the sun above her head turned into a big fireball to scorch her, and the dirt road under her feet was also pitted, and she walked very hard.

    Soon she had pain in her waist and back, legs and feet, and there was no pain in her whole body.

    Xiaowang is also sensible, so she takes the initiative to walk down holding hands without letting her carry it.

    Lin Lan tried to tease Xiaowang to talk all the way, but he didn't like to speak after he left the house, especially when he left Shanzui Village, his mouth was tightly closed.

    Lin Lan teased a dozen sentences. It was good that he could reply one or two. If there were outsiders, they would not reply at all.

    Lin Lan didn't force it. To be honest, she was also a little nervous. If the kid chatted with her, she wouldn't know what to talk about.

    After all, she really doesn't know how to bring children.

    Later, met a mule cart, hitchhiked, and walked for a long time. was lucky to run into a tractor.

    After walking like this for a while, hitchhiking, she finally entered the county seat within the next day. She didn't know the way. She didn't know where the post office was, so she asked the security officer in red armband and indigo clothes for directions.

    When people listened to her tone and looked at her posture, with skinny children, they knew that she was a poor middle peasant fellow, and they immediately showed the way enthusiastically, and a good-hearted person gave two pieces of candy.

    Lin Lan took Xiaowang to drink water and eat a piece of cake on the side of the road, thinking that he must buy a bicycle.

    There was not enough dry food. One person ate a few mouthfuls and drank a few sips of water to continue on the road. The county seat was not too big, so he arrived at the post office soon.

    At this time, the county post and telecommunications office was not big, and it was very conspicuous next to the department store.

    Lin Lan entered the lobby and looked at the window where there were a few people queuing, some made calls and telegrams, and there were two or three people at the remittance window.

    She pretended not to understand anything, so she asked someone to ask where the remittance was received.

    A female staff member in a gray-blue uniform received her and asked her where she came from and how much she would withdraw.

    Lin Lan tried to imitate other country women who had never seen the world. The timid eyes and timid tone of voice naturally made people want to help.

    "Did you bring the remittance slip?"

    "The remittance slip has not been sent home yet. It is to the post office in the past two days. Can you check it for me? If it arrives, I will take it. "Lin Lan said she was wronged as much as she could, inspiring the other side's feelings of pity.

    Sure enough, the female staff member looked at Xiao Wang and asked what was wrong. It was a pity to know that her eyesight was poor.

    "This kid has such handsome eyes, why don't you see it clearly?" She raised her hand and squinted it in front of Xiao Wang's eyes, Xiao Wang naturally did not respond.

    "You wait, I'll check it for you."

    Soon, the female staff member greeted Lin Lan with a smile, "It's time for you to come, just about to send the order. If you don't come this time, it will take at least two or three days to get the order."

    Lin Lan happily thanked him.

    She took out a letter of introduction and a marriage certificate. "I am a woman, without a chapter, and can’t write her name, so she will press her handprint. This is a marriage certificate, issued by the government. ?"

    "Yes!" The staff inside was amused by her.

    Lin Lan's eyes were clear, "Then take it out for me quickly."

    This time it was 260 yuan, 40 yuan more than before! ! !
