 After all, Cheng Rushan did nothing.

Early the next morning, Jiang Lin got up and went to wash up. She asked Cheng Rushan, "Are you going to Yunye Lake today?"

Yunye Lake Farm, the largest labor reform farm in the province, is located 30 miles away in Qingcheng, on the back of a mountain. The lake is very rich in products. In addition to various fruits, vegetables and rice, it also produces freshwater fish, especially mandarin fish.

Cheng Rushan: "Our family will go."

Jiang Lin: "Should I go too?"

Cheng Rushan stared at her with a smile, "Aren't you from our family?"

Jiang Lin: "I mean you and your mother can go there. "It's inconvenient for so many people."

Cheng Rushan: "It's fine, no trouble."

Yan Runzhi simply said: "Baoerniang, Yunye Lake is so delicious, there are duck eggs, mandarin fish, and big fat. Tao, and..."

Jiang Lin: "Stop talking, I'll go!"

Yan Runzhi winked Cheng Rushan proudly.

Cheng Rushan: I remember.

The breakfast has been put on the table, the millet porridge cooked by Yan Runzhi, the stewed pickled vegetables and eggs, egg custard, and yesterday's steamed pork, all of which are fragrant today.

Jiang Lin sat down and said to Dabao and Xiaobao, "The mandarin fish still has a poem. The mandarin fish in the peach blossoms and flowing water is fat. It's very beautiful." Dabao

: "How do you say it?"

Eyes, smiled, "the whole poem is..."

is... what is it?

Jiang Lin felt that the name could not be uttered out of her mouth. Whose poem came from?

Dabao and Xiaobao looked at her curiously, and Xiaobao laughed, "Mother, I don't love going to school either! We don't go to school."

Cheng Rushan pressed his big hand on his head, and said casually, "This is a fisherman's song by Zhang Zhihe, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, the egret flying in front of Mount Xisai..." He recited the whole poem.

Yan Runzhi said to Xiaobao, "Your mother is going to test you, do you really think she can't? Teachers are like this."

Jiang Lin: Thank you Wanzun.

She looked as if nothing had happened, as if she was really testing them and not forgetting. She said, "Can we buy some mandarin fish back? I really want to eat it."

Cheng Rushan looked at her with a smile and handed her a piece of steamed bun, "I'll let you eat enough and come back."

Jiang Lin always felt that his eyes meant something. I mean, don't you just forget it... Hmph. Sister, I don't remember much...I still remember what I learned when I was a child. It seems that it is time to start studying hard? Don't miss the college entrance examination next year.

Jiang Lin went to tell Shang Zonghui that if there are tiles sent to him to be responsible for sharing, he and Shang Baozhu can also help people lay the tiles.

Shang Zonghui: "Jiang Zhiqing, what do they want that chimney? I don't know."

This chimney is beautiful and easy to use, and they all say that one should be built.

Jiang Lin: "You will, believe in yourself." Yesterday, she had taught Shang Zonghui, and he knew all the points, just practice.

Shang Zonghui saw that she believed in herself so much, and was encouraged, "Okay, then I'll try."

Jiang Lin said goodbye to him, and when she returned home, Yan Runzhi had already packed up, and when she came back, she led Dabao and Xiaobao out to the South Road. Wait.

Cheng Rushan went to the commune to find Duan Changan, and took a ride to the county first.

Jiang Lin gave Dabao and Xiaobao a few slices of hawthorn, which is better than eating candy all day.

Dabao is very satisfied, and Xiaobao is a little unsatisfied, but he also knows that he can't fight with his mother, so he obediently takes it and eats it. After eating, Xiaobao said that he wanted to urinate again, and Jiang Lin led them down the roadside ditch, picking wild flowers while waiting for the bus. Dabao Xiaobao said that he wanted to make a wreath for his grandfather and uncle.

Just as he was waiting, he saw Cheng Rushan rushing towards him. When he got to the front, Cheng Ruhai was out of breath, "Are you going to pick up my father? I'm the eldest son, of course I'm going." Yan

Runzhi: "Go by yourself."

.

Cheng Ruhai heard the news yesterday that Cheng Rushan had taken off his family's black hat. He was so shocked that he didn't recover for a long time. He hurried to the brigade to confirm and learned that everything was true. Revolutionary squire. Not only take off the hat, but also return most of the property! This means that most of the houses in the village have to be returned.

Cheng Ruhai couldn't sit still immediately. He was the eldest son and should live with his father. He is going to the farm to pick up his father and show his respect.

He wanted to talk to Cheng Rushan last night, but he was afraid that Cheng Rushan would beat him, so he didn't dare to come forward. I didn't fall asleep all night, and this morning, after hesitating again and again, I decided to catch up and try. When Dad comes back, will Cheng Rushan still beat him? Their family pays the most attention to filial piety etiquette.

Cheng Ruhai smiled and said, "Mother, look at what you said, of course we are a family together."

Yan Runzhi almost got goosebumps at the mother's numbness, "Dongsheng is coming back." I can't beat you to death.

Cheng Ruhai leaned aside embarrassedly.

Yan Runzhi suddenly said: "Don't try to take advantage of it. I'm not afraid to tell you that our family is headed by Bao'er's mother. Your father and I are supported by Dongsheng and Bao'er's mother. If you don't think there are any, pull them down as soon as possible."

Don't think she doesn't know Cheng Ruhai's little abacus.

Cheng Ruhai said righteously, "Mother, what are you talking about? I'm a stranger? I'm not my father's son?? .

Looking at the car coming from a distance, Yan Runzhi hurriedly said to Jiang Lin, "Mother Bao'er, here it is."

Jiang Lin led Dabao and Xiaobao hurriedly over. Seeing Cheng Ruhai, she said coldly, "Are you looking for a fight?"

Cheng Ruhai said stubbornly, "I'm going to pick up my father together. That's my father, and I'm the eldest son."

Jiang Lin snorted, "It's not my father if it's not vindicated."

Cheng Ruhai's face turned purple, but he still stayed here.

After a while, the car approached, it was Duan Changan, he stopped the car and greeted Jiang Lin.

Cheng Rushan jumped out of the car, helped Yan Runzhi up, and carried Dabao and Xiaobao up. Seeing that Jiang Lin wanted to climb up by herself, he directly grabbed her waist and sent her up.

Jiang Lin: "..." Are you treating me like a child!

Cheng Rushan didn't even look at Cheng Ruhai, and said to Duan Changan, "Changan, let's go."

Cheng Ruhai hurriedly ran over, "Brother, I'm going to pick up our father too."

Cheng Rushan ignored him and jumped into the car.

Duan Changan stepped on the accelerator, leaped into the light truck and set off, directly spraying Cheng Ruhai with exhaust and dust.

Cheng Ruhai jumped to his feet with anger, and the people in the car couldn't hear what he said.

When she got to the county, Jiang Lin thought she was going to take the train, but after Cheng Rushan and Duan Changan said goodbye, she led them to the compound of the county revolutionary committee.

"The county is going to build a bus station, and there will be more cars going to the countryside in the future." He told Jiang Lin, and briefly told her and Yan Runzhi about his transportation work. Although this is a very popular job in the eyes of outsiders, he never felt that there was anything to show off, nor did he introduce it seriously.

When he arrived at the county party compound, he went to the transportation person in charge of the logistics department and learned that there was a car going to the Qingcheng area, and they could hitch a ride.

It was almost ten o'clock, so they waited.

Jiang Lin went to the supply and marketing agency and gave her the embroidery she had made an appointment with Tao Zhen before, and asked her to sell it on her behalf quietly. If there is a market, it will be available for a long time in the future. After the two wrote down the list, recorded the number and set the price, Jiang Lin said goodbye and returned to the compound.

Cheng Rushan wanted to accompany her, but she sternly refused. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go, as soon as he goes, she will think of the slap she slapped him, how embarrassing.

At about ten o'clock, the driver came over, Cheng Rushan went to say hello, and the family took a ride to Qingcheng. This is different from the light truck that Duan Changan drove. This is a heavy truck, pulling the sorghum that was turned in this autumn and sending it to the winery in Qingcheng area. The sorghum was packed in sacks, stacked one by one, and then tied together with thick twine.

Jiang Lin asked Yan Runzhi to go to the front with the driver, the bumps would be lighter, Dabao and Xiaobao insisted on sitting on the sack in the back with their parents.

Qingcheng is divided into three parts by plains, hills and mountains, but the altitude of the local mountains is not high, the highest is no more than 500 meters, and there are no particularly abrupt and towering peaks. They walked on a highway, not the asphalt road of later generations, and the terrain was ups and downs. Although the road was not dangerous, it was very bumpy.

Dabao and Xiaobao were not afraid at all, they screamed with joy. Every time there was a slope, they were bumped up, and they raised their arms to fly. Cheng Rushan helped them grab their legs.

Jiang Lin grabbed the front fender of the truck with one hand and Cheng Rushan's arm with the other, staring at Dabao and Xiaobao. After they played a few times, Jiang Lin couldn't help restraining them. The wind was blowing. She had to lie in Cheng Rushan's ear and say loudly, "Okay, don't play such a dangerous game anymore, just sit down." Just in case.

Cheng Rushan followed the goodness like a flow, and immediately fixed the big treasure and the little treasure on his lap to let them listen to their mother's words.

There was something wrong with the truck on the way, and the driver couldn't handle it alone. Cheng Rushan went down to help repair the car, carried Dabao and Xiaobao down, and took Jiang Lin to the road, letting them take a rest on the roadside.

Yan Runzhi gave them water to drink and boiled eggs to eat.

Jiang Lin stood on the hillside and looked down. The sky was high and the clouds were clear. In the distance, farmers were busy with the autumn harvest, and children were herding sheep. There were busy and bumper harvests everywhere. The more she saw this scene, the more she felt that she belonged more and more to this era.

Dabao and Xiaobao were there to talk to Yan Runzhi about the cart flying for them. Xiaobao tugged at the corner of Jiang Lin's clothes, "Mom, I've been sitting very well. It was the big truck that threw me up, uuuuu~~ threw me up! It's not my father's fault."

such as mountains.

Dabao nodded, "I don't blame my father, it's a big car!"

Jiang Lin glanced at Cheng Rushan who was helping to repair the car over there, and said, "I don't blame your father, I blame you both, and you will sit in front with your grandmother later. Don't hinder the driver from driving."

They still wanted to go to the back to play, but Jiang Lin didn't let go, so they went to look for Cheng Rushan.

Cheng Rushan was leaning over to help repair the engine, turned his head to look at Jiang Lin, and said with a smile, "Your mother has the final say."

Dabao and Xiaobao's shoulders collapsed, and Dad also listened to Mom.

Yan Runzhi was gloating on the side and quietly said to Dabao and Xiaobao: "You two think Dongsheng can do whatever you want when he comes back? No way! YOur mother has the final say."

Dabao: "Then what about grandpa coming back?"

Yan Runzhi: "Your mother said It's over."

Xiaobao: "Where's my sister here?"

"It's still your mother. So, listen to your mother's words." Yan Runzhi was so happy that she didn't close her mouth when her son came back.

After the car was repaired, they rested almost, and then set off, Dabao and Xiaobao obediently climbed onto the small reclining chair behind the cab.

When his son was not in front of him, Cheng Rushan held Jiang Lin in his arms openly, so as not to let his wife run away.

Jiang Lin: "..."

Cheng Rushan hugged Jiang Lin to his chest, unfolded the cloth sheet to cover her, "There is still an hour, let's sleep a while."

Jiang Lin also wanted to say that it would be strange to fall asleep in such a situation, and then she leaned against his arms, the sound of the wind in front of him was his firm heartbeat, and the back was his hot chest, thrown up like a boat Falling down, she actually fell asleep.

Cheng Rushan hugged her and saw her sleeping peacefully and sweetly, his heart softened.

After one hour.

"Wife, let's get off the bus." Cheng Rushan lowered his head and kissed her on the eye.

Jiang Lin woke up immediately, "Are we there yet?"

"Get off the car and walk for a while."

He slipped down the rope with one hand, stepped on the baffle below, and supported Jiang Lin's armpit with one hand to help her down, and then He let go of his hand and jumped to the ground, and then directly supported Jiang Lin, who was crawling down with the rope.

They went to say goodbye to the master.

Because Cheng Rushan will deliver supplies to the troops in the future, he is more popular than these ordinary drivers, and the driver is very polite to him.

It was only noon after getting off the bus. Cheng Rushan was carrying his two sons, and Jiang Lin supported Yan Runzhi, so that Lu Buping would not throw her.

Yan Runzhi: "Mother Bao'er, I'm still young. I'm not one of those old ladies who can't walk steadily. You don't need to help me."

After she finished speaking, her feet slipped, and she was so scared that she quickly grabbed Jiang Lin's arm and took the initiative to hold Jiang Lin. , "Mother Bao'er, let's go together, the road is really slippery here."
