"That is," he emphasized, "I can only have one father, and his name is Zhou Chaoxian."

The family had no objection to this. However, the second sister-in-law curled her lips inadvertently, looking a little unhappy. "But out of fear, I didn't dare to respond, so as not to be scolded."

The other two women and the two brothers seemed to remain silent, as if the matter was not important to them, and they just lowered their heads and maintained an indifferent expression. At this time, the two brothers also unconsciously took out their pipes and started smoking.

When it comes to family members' opinions or relationships, it's usually either wholehearted agreement or clear disagreement.

Since Liu Lan had been with the city leader, she would always bring back a lot of things: sanitary oil, bean cakes, corn flour and rolls of toilet paper, among which the toilet paper was particularly eye-catching.

The reason is simple. Rural people often rely on natural items around them for hygiene: bricks and tiles, dry grass branches, and if there are none, they can find some small stones to make do with. They rarely have the opportunity to use such soft sanitary materials.

If she really were to marry the projectionist and leave the city's help, the future well-being of the Liu family might be greatly affected.

Although the family members talked a lot about this and had many concerns, they could not express these worries to Liu Lanniang in person - as they were the sister-in-law and brother.

Liu Lanniang felt a little depressed when she saw that only the eldest brother was left standing on her side. She knew that people always have a selfish side, and she didn't blame them for it. After all, it was their life that had experienced poverty, which made her feel deeply.

So she slowly stood up and walked to her daughter, patting the warm fire behind her, "My daughter, as long as you think it's appropriate, we will not stop you, and your brother and sister-in-law will not object."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at her children and sons-in-law, who all had different expressions, and said coldly, "What do you think?"

"Support, just like actively responding to the call of the brigade, full support," the third sister-in-law was the first to stand up from her seat.

Then, several brothers and sisters-in-law nodded in unison.

The eldest sister-in-law showed her intelligence and wisdom, "Brother-in-law, next year our family mutual aid group may be upgraded to a commune. There are clear instructions to adopt a big pot policy and no food fees will be charged. Life here will be more comfortable and relaxed than in the city. You don't have to always think only of us."

When talking about the recent developments in the village, the brothers and sisters-in-law all seemed very interested.

"It is said that in the commune, medical treatment and education are free."

“If it’s not money, then what else do you need? Working hours?”

"Working hours are money. Adult men get two cents per hour, while women get half that, ten cents per hour." "This is a good method. When we get there, we just sit down on the ground and we can get working hours comfortably."

“That’s awesome.”

It was originally a family meeting to discuss Liu Lan's marriage, but when the topic of "commune" was mentioned, the whole discussion gradually deviated from the topic.

The Liu family members all showed curiosity and excitement about the commune.

They began to discuss how the Liu family should cultivate the fields and how they should adapt to daily life in the commune after joining the commune.

Seeing that it was getting late,

Liu Lanniang, who had said little, stood up again, waved her arms and said, "You guys are making so much noise, I, an old lady, don't believe that I can just sit there and harvest food in the fields without working?"

"Mom, aren't you talking nonsense? Even though we don't say we won't work, we are doing things carefully. It's not our land anyway, so it doesn't matter if we don't do it well," the third brother answered proudly.

Liu Lan's mother shook her head and said, "If you all think like this, you will be hungry in the future." These words were so powerful that the brothers and sisters-in-law immediately shut their mouths and dared not say anything.

"Mom, the commune is the direction advocated by the higher-ups, and they hope everyone will actively contribute. You can't just say such nonsense."

Faced with this situation, Liu Lanniang looked back with wide eyes: "Although it is true that the advocacy is so, it does not mean that the superiors do not want people to find an easy and convenient way."

"We are just talking. Who would really stand there all day doing nothing? It would be so embarrassing if others found out." Seeing that Liu Lanniang looked unhappy, everyone stopped talking about it.

Several brothers and sisters-in-law said goodbye to Liu Lan and hurriedly left the party.

It was already late at night.

Liu Lan was a temporary worker and her salary might be deducted if she took leave, so she decided to return to the city immediately to avoid losing her job rights.

Then Liu Lanniang took a kerosene lamp and escorted her safely out of the village to the road outside.

She carefully straightened the coats for the two children, then looked up at Liu Lan and said, "My daughter, I have never been to school and I don't have much knowledge, so I can't say anything wise or famous.

Little princess, there are many more pages of content after this. Just click on the next page and you can continue reading. The following stories are even more exciting!

You are about to enter into marriage again, so don't mention those messy things anymore. You should know that

If something needs to be cut off, it should be cut off without hesitation. "

“Oh my god—”

Before Liu Lan could finish her words, her mother interrupted her and said, "As for the situation at home? My daughter doesn't need to worry about it.

Those elder brothers and sisters-in-law may seem righteous, but they are unlikely to cause trouble. My mother raised me from childhood, and now I am in my twilight years, can they still expect me not to be filial and take care of me?

I rely on you, my good daughter, to support me, an old woman.

If one day I leave this world and meet you in another world, I will not be able to explain to your old father.

When it came to the exciting part, Liu Lanniang's eyes filled with tears, she choked up, and her voice trembled and became hoarse.

This emotion infected Liu Lan beside her. She bit her lower lip tightly and nodded heavily: "Mom, please rest assured. After I return to my home, I will definitely cut off contact with that man completely.

From now on, we should separate completely! "

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't always go back."

Under the dim oil lamp lit by Liu Lan's mother, Liu Lan rode her bicycle, traveling along the winding paths in the countryside.

Watching her figure gradually moving away and disappearing at the edge of her sight, Liu Lanniang couldn't help but sigh:

I hope her decision this time can bring her real change.

She is the only one who knows her child's thoughts deeply.

Liu Lan went astray not only because of family difficulties, but also because of her personality problems.

At that time, most families were facing hard times and poverty enveloped everyone.

It goes without saying that although there are many families who are in more difficult and unfortunate circumstances, not many people engage in absurd behavior.

Just one or two days after returning to Beijing, Liu Lan found Li, the dismissed deputy director of the old factory, and frankly told him that she already had someone she liked and asked him to end their relationship.

Faced with this emotional confession, although Deputy Director Li felt regretful, he did not object. He thought to himself that since Liu Lan now had a better future, he sincerely wished her a happy life.

However, Deputy Director Li still remembered the new candidate named Xu Damao, who was a very sophisticated young man.

"Girl Lan, don't worry about me. Now that you have finally found a good home, congratulations. I hope you will have your own happiness.

If you are willing to invite someone, you might as well ask your uncle to witness your happy marriage.

However, you seem dissatisfied with this proposal.

"Go to hell, you lackey!" Liu Lan was furious and spat on the man's face. Then she turned around and left the table resolutely with a decisive and decisive action.

There was a crisp and firm sound of a door closing in the office, which frightened everyone present, including Deputy Director Li, and they were still in shock.

After he lifted his sleeve to wipe off the wine stains on his cheek, he scolded coldly: "How dare this woman challenge me in person? Sooner or later, I will make her beg me in front of everyone!"

Liu Lan had never felt so relaxed and happy before.

After leaving Deputy Director Li's office, he walked straight into the Propaganda Department and asked a colleague to call Xu Dali over: "Xu Dali, your marriage has been decided."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of surprised voices - "Ah?" Xu Dali looked around at the workers who had gathered around to watch, "Why did the director of the Women's Federation come to my house to talk about this so quickly?"

"Not yet," she answered frankly, "I just came to inform you in advance."

The anger in Liu Lan's heart gradually disappeared, her face flushed slightly, she pursed her red lips, and then left quickly.

As he watched her graceful figure disappear before his eyes, Xu Dali couldn't help but smile and said, "This widow is surprisingly good."

At the same time, while working hard to prepare to marry his new bride, Li Aiguo received a special dispatch mission.

He was assigned to the Education Office of the Locomotive Department, responsible for compiling the "Railway Service Standards" and "Safety Management Regulations". When Li Aiguo received this order, he was somewhat at a loss, because the service and safety management standards he had agreed with the train conductor Mr. Bai were only to be implemented within the "No. 131 Special Service Team", and he was unaware that the locomotive department had heard of it.

After entering the education room, when Li Aiguo saw Wang Guozhen, a member of the supervision team whom he had met on Train 131, he was confused for a moment - what was the recent change of this iron-faced and selfless person in charge?

The director of the Education Office, She Cuiping, took the initiative to stand up and introduce herself, "Mr. Aiguo, please note that during the last inspection of Train No. 131, Supervisor Wang Guozhen noticed that the service level of our train attendants was very different from that of other trains, and the passenger satisfaction score was much higher than that of other trains.

When I reported back to the headquarters, the leaders paid great attention to it and conducted further in-depth discussions. ”
