Chapter Forty-Eight: Distress

Listening to Granny Lan's words, Hao Qinghong admired, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have believed that a small-footed rural old woman would have such a bearing and courage, no wonder Ma Yuping was relieved that her son lived in her house when she first came, and now she is more assured that her daughter is in her house, and she can learn a lot from her.

Hao Qinghong: "Director Lan, we asked you to help apply for Lihua to be arranged in your home, did it cause you any inconvenience?"

Granny Lan: "No, don't worry, I don't do two things in my life, I don't do things that make mistakes, and I don't do things that have no conscience, I'm an old party member." ”

Hao Qinghong gave a thumbs up: "Director Lan, this is too useful." ”

Granny Lan: "Otherwise, how could so many people respect me." ”

"Director Lan, there's a guest at home. A deep man's voice came, and Granny Lan got up: "Secretary Wan is here." ”

Hao Qinghong and Ma Yuping got up and walked out of the house, and a man about fifty years old rolled up his pants and wore rubber shoes into the courtyard, and saw that the mud on his legs and feet should come from the ground, followed by Yu Chenghui and Hao Jianjun.

Director Lan said enthusiastically: "Secretary Wan, hurry up and sit in the house." ”

Hao Qinghong took out a cigarette and saluted Secretary Wan with both hands: "Secretary Wan, please." ”

Secretary Wan took the cigarette, only to realize that there was still mud on his fingers, and said embarrassedly: "It's rude to come from the field." ”

Hao Qinghong himself is not a smoker and is not proficient, so he lit a cigarette for Secretary Wan clumsily, and lit a cigarette to Yu Chenghui.

Hao Jianjun had already gone to the water tank in the stove room to fetch a wooden basin of water and brought it over, Secretary Wan washed his hands with a cigarette, shook off the water in his hands, and took the cigarette in his mouth: "I heard Yu Chenghui say that you also sent your daughter to our village, come and have a look, thank you for looking up to our small place." ”

Director Lan: "Secretary Wan, if you come, you are not allowed to leave, help me accompany the guests here today." ”

Secretary Wan happily agreed, and went into the hall to sit down. Ma Yuping then understood why Hao Qinghong bought cigarettes, she didn't expect it.

Yu Chenghui and his family came over to say hello and went to the stove room.

Hao Lihua saw that Hao Jianjun's clothes, pants and shoes were covered with mud, and he became an authentic farmer, and asked, "Big brother, are you tired?"

Hao Jianjun washed his hands, splashed water on the roots of the tree in the courtyard, and said, "Of course I'm tired, but don't be afraid, I'll get used to it slowly, what about my sister?"

Hao Lihua: "She is happy to be a sister." ”

Ma Yuping saw that Hao Qinghong and Secretary Wan of Director Lan were talking happily, so he got up and went to the stove room to help, and Yu's wife hurriedly invited her out, saying that the firewood in it was dusty, and it was all ready, and the meal would start immediately.

Yu's wife instructed her two twin daughters to serve food to the hall, and Hao Jianjun also went to help, filling the table with dishes.

Granny Lan beckoned to sit down to eat, she had to ask Hao Qinghong and Secretary Wan to sit on the top seat, she wanted to sit on one side with Ma Yuping, Yu Chenghui and Jianjun on one side, Hao Lihua and the two sisters sat down, and Yu's wife still took her four children to eat at the small table in the stove room.

Ma Yuping said to Hao Liqiu: "Didn't you go as a sister? ”

Director Lan: "Only when you know how to eat do your job is a good thing." ”

Ma Yuping: "I can't talk about my mother-in-law in anything." ”

Secretary Wan: "None of us can talk about Director Lan, she is better than men." ”

Director Lan: "So I'm quite unreasonable. ”

Secretary Wan: "Look at it, how do you say that Director Lan will pick it up, if she is a man, I will be the secretary, not only that, but at least I will be a cadre in the county." ”

Director Lan: "The more you talk about it, the farther it goes. ”

Ma Yuping: "Definitely, none of the cadres in our factory are as eloquent as Director Lan. ”

Director Lan: "I, I just hate myself for being uneducated, and I am dedicated to cultivating a few grandchildren to read, hey, none of them can read well." ”

Secretary Wan: "Why not, your two daughters' children study hard, you often praise them." ”

Director Lan regretted: "That's my grandson and granddaughter." ”

Secretary Wan immediately grabbed the handle: "Director Lan, you often say that men and women are the same. ”

Director Lan knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly interrupted: "It's the same, it's all my Lan Cuiying." ”

While speaking, Yu Chenghui opened the wine, which was already full for Secretary Wan and Hao Qinghong, and also for himself and Hao Jianjun, Hao Qinghong was surprised: "My son can drink." ”

Yu Chenghui smiled: "I taught him to drink, and sometimes he is tired and drinks to relieve fatigue." ”

Hao Jianjun: "I can only have one drink." ”

Hao Qinghong: "Director Lan, have a drink." ”

Director Lan: "I can only speak, I don't dare to touch this." ”

Secretary Wan served wine: "Master Hao, thank you for your trust in our village. ”

Hao Qinghong: "Secretary Wan, what should you do with my child, do it according to the rules." ”

Drinking and eating, Director Lan politely said: "There is no good hospitality in the countryside, and it will be settled." ”

Ma Yuping: "It's very good, Granny Lan always sees outsiders, we come to trouble you, and you still treat us as guests." ”

Secretary Wan: "Master Hao, Jianjun is the best among the educated youth in our village, and some people who have a backstage in their families are here to receive the re-education of the poor middle peasants, they are simply here to take care of us." ”

Hao Qinghong: "The current social atmosphere is not good, the situation of our factory is the same as what you said, do not understand technology to sit in the leadership position, blind command does not say, but also aggravate the contradictions between people, and if this continues, the factory will be collapsed by them." ”

Ma Yuping stopped Hao Qinghong with his eyes, he didn't know if he drank too much wine or held it in his heart, and kept talking
