After a while, there was a sound from the Brigade Headquarters.
Sanwang stood up, “My father is back, I’ll go and call him for dinner.”
Dawang put down his chopsticks, “I’m done.”
“When did you finish your food?”
Dawang pointed to the basket, “I ate two and a half pancakes.”
Lin Lan looked at it, and sure enough, the basket was more than half empty. He even drank a bowl of tomato and egg soup, but he didn’t eat the scrambled eggs with chives.
Within such a short time, he actually ate two pancakes.
Lin Lan didn’t see it at all.
She smiled softly and said, “Dawang, are you full? Don’t stay hungry if you are.”
Dawang shivered, “I’m done eating, I’ll go mow the grass.”
They haven’t mowed the grass for a while, but now, they need to do more to store it in the sun for the animals to eat in winter.
A basket of mowed grass would be given an extra half point by the production teams.
Lin Lan also felt that Dawang was still very sensible.
“Dawang, Dawang, are you finished eating? Come on, they’re all gone and are waiting for you,” Someone shouted from outside.
Dawang jumped out and ran away with the basket.
…I just thought you had made progress, but you just jumped out to play with the others.
But this kid was still very good. He didn’t delay the time taken to mow the grass even though he played for half the duration. Though, Lin Lan didn’t know what he was playing since it was his nature to be so mysterious.
Sigh, mother isn’t that useful. Let’s just wait for the father to come back and lecture him.
As soon as Dawang left, Han Qingsong came back. Sanwang was telling his father that he was too young to go to school and so on.
Han Qingsong, “Your mother has the final say in family affairs.”
Sanwang’s footsteps became heavy.
Lin Lan greeted him and told him to eat quickly.
Since their father was now at home, the children were suddenly under quite a bit of pressure. All of them were eager to finish their food and do their own things.
It was cold and Lin Lan thought that Sanwang couldn’t go into the water, so she ignored him. Sanwang thought that Erwang was rather bossy, not being as fun as their eldest brother, so he ran out as soon as she turned her head.
Xiaowang was much more cheerful now. As long as Lin Lan was busy, he would follow his brothers and sister.
Erwang and Maisui led Xiaowang out to mow the grass, gather firewood, and when they had the opportunity, they also went to pick up the food that fell from the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the children were all gone, even though the voices of Erwang and Maisui arguing were still heard.
Lin Lan brought out the remaining bowl of scrambled eggs with chives and a small pot of soup, which she hadn’t eaten yet.
Han Qingsong didn’t speak when he was eating. Like Dawang, he didn’t slow down and was very efficiently done with his food.
When he finished eating, Lin Lan saw that the bowl of scrambled eggs was left, but he didn’t eat it at all, “Eat the scrambled eggs.”
Han Qingsong, “I’m full, you can eat it.”
I was worried that you were going to be lonely, so I waited for you on purpose. But damn, aren’t you something? You ate so quickly and now I’m the slowest of us all. Looks like I’ll just eat first next time.
She was curious about Han Qingsong’s soon return, “How did those people get punished? Their punishment should really be severe since the impact is too bad. If you just break into other people’s homes, will ordinary people dare to sleep at ease in the future?”
