Han Qingsong stroked Xiaowang’s hair before he grabbed Lin Lan’s hand and shook it, “Okay, leave it to me.”

Lin Lan took the initiative to stuff her hand into his pocket, but she accidentally flipped her satchel after moving too much. A few condoms then fell out and scattered on the ground.

Han Qingsong looked over, “What are those?”

Lin Lan, “…!!” She quickly jumped down to pick them up, “Haha, it’s nothing, just some pills.”

Xiaowang, who was in front, turned around and said, “I know, they’re condoms.”

Han Qingsong, “What is that?”

Lin Lan originally wanted to pretend nothing was wrong, but when he asked her about it, her cheeks turned red, “Ahem, ahem…”

When did Xiaowang hear about it? Why didn’t she remember saying it in front of him? Sure enough, she couldn’t say anything important in front of children— every single last one of them were all spies!

She hurriedly changed the embarrassing topic, “I’m so hungry, what should we eat?”

Han Qingsong merely asked casually, but now that he saw her blushing, his curiosity was piqued. He stretched out his big hand towards her satchel, “Let me see.”

Lin Lan was quick to make a smart move, “…Medicine, oh yes, Xiaowang’s medicine,” She smiled, immediately took his hand and sat on the back seat. She patted his waist and said coquettishly, “Let’s go, I’m starving to death.”

The corners of Han Qingsong’s lips twitched involuntarily, but he didn’t say anything, deciding to ask her after going home.

He took them to the canteen of the County Revolutionary Committee.

This was originally meant to be the County Government’s area, which was later replaced by the Revolutionary Committee. The Revolutionary Committee was controlled by the army at the beginning, but it still needed to handle governmental affairs, so the officials with fair abilities were rounded up. With those two parties paired with the Worker Propaganda Team and the Farmer Propaganda Team, the four sets of teams worked together to maintain equilibrium.

Now that the situation had stabilized, the administrative functions of the local agencies became more prominent and important. Hence, the government officials started to show their degree of influence— the military department had the power whereas the Farmer Propaganda Team had long since withdrawn. Also, the Worker Propaganda Team was now just reduced to nothing but an insignificant organization. Its department was only responsible for contacting and maintaining the condition of the factory workers.

Even so, the men of the Worker Propaganda Team still ate here.

The canteen was organized by the Worker Propaganda Team and the Farmer Propaganda Team. Because it was co-organised by the Farmer Propaganda Team, the food was good and side dishes available were quite varied. At this time, people would frequently come and go here, making it rather lively.

On the menu today was kelp stewed pork, stir-fried potato shreds, braised mackerel and sour-spicy cabbage. Buying steamed buns required both money and food tickets, but buying the other side dishes merely required money.

“Where’s Qingyun?” Lin Lan didn’t see Han Qingyun, “Why isn’t he coming to eat? Does he have no food tickets?”

“He went to the Farmer Propaganda Team to do some errands, so he will be eating with them,” Han Qingsong picked Xiaowang up and sat on the stool.

Lin Lan asked about the welfare of the soldiers who ran all the way here with them and Han Qingsong snorted, “They’ll probably remain hungry.”

Lin Lan was sure that something had happened, so she didn’t ask any more questions, lest he leak a secret and make a mistake.

Han Qingsong first went to buy 4 steamed buns and 5 coarse-grained steamed cornbread. Then, he went ahead to buy some vegetables. He only brought a lunch box with him, but he wanted to take a serving of each dish. Therefore, his plan was to borrow two bowls from the cafeteria and make two more servings.
