When the time was almost up, Lin Lan asked the children to go home and sleep quickly. Since the kids were in their growing stages, she didn’t want to deprive them of sleep.
It was dark at night and she was afraid that Xiao Wang would fall, so she wanted to carry him.
Han Qingsong had already picked him up and sat him in his arms. Sanwang saw him and jumped up excitedly, “Father, me too! Me too!”
Han Qingsong, “Walk by yourself.”
Sanwang felt aggrieved and touched the scar on his forehead.
Lin Lan hurriedly said, “You’ve never carried him since he was a child, so why not just do it this time?”
When Han Qingsong heard what Lin Lan said, he reached out with his hand and lifted Sanwang up to his shoulders like an eagle grabbing a chicken.
“Aww~~It’s so fun!” Sanwang kicked his legs, showing off to his classmates and friends.
The other children immediately asked their father to play with them but they all got slapped without exception.
When their family was gone, some people couldn’t stand it as they questioned, “What time is it? Is it even 8 o’ clock?”
“It’s almost 9, but it’s only half past 8.”
“Only their family can turn in easily; who else sleeps before the clock strikes 10?”
In the past few days of autumn harvest, there were work points for overtime work at night. In order to earn more work points, ordinary members would stay up late and do more work.
However, in order to prevent everyone from staying up late, Han Yongfang piled them up. It was a system that based on everyone’s speed, which added 20% to the amount of the set the number of work points. Then, once it was set, the people would start working and collect the work points afterwards.
In this way, everyone could work quickly and efficiently instead of relying on the amount of overtime hours like they have utilised in the past since it was easy to take advantage of.
Dong Huaihua heard the words that were said with jealousy and replied, “He comes late and leaves early, yet he does more work than you all who did the exact opposite. You guys should seriously repent and think things through!”
The others were too embarrassed to say anything else.
With just that, it was ironic as to how people would even comment on the family going back early. The few people that gathered together and laughed mutually understood each other’s feelings. Nervously trying to brush it off, some of them even suggested following the family to see what they were up to.
In the end, no one dared to go. If they were said to be thieves that snooped around, the losses would outweigh the gains.
Either way, it would be a better option to gossip about or indulge in the lifestyle habits of the current youth. Youngsters nowadays were more interesting to watch and they even had their fair share of cringe yet romantic words.
Back home, Lin Lan asked the children to wash their feet. Having a bath every day was not mandatory, but their feet had to be washed daily.
Erwang was not in a hurry, Dawang went straight to washing and Sanwang was resisting the cleanup process like an unwilling soldier that was dragged to war as Maisui kept yelling at him.
When they got on the kang, they started to sleep soundly upon laying down as Lin Lan took the time to tidy herself up again.
Han Qingsong had already placed Xiaowang down and started leaning on the kang’s cabinet to look at something.
Lin Lan ran over, legs wrapped in cattail-fibre socks, “What are you looking at when it’s so dark? You’re squinting.”
