Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 688

Erwang was a relatively slow learner. Because he didn’t know how to swim at all, he was now a little scared and dared not put his head underwater. Once he bit the bullet and pinched his nose, letting himself sink, the process seemed to advance quicker. After doing this several times, he learned the skill in 2 or 3 days.

Hence, the four brothers swam back and forth in the river as if they were four fishes. Sometimes, their positions would form a Chinese character. While they were lining up, Sanwang would also raise his hand fiercely to reveal the clasped mouth and gills of a fish, “Hahaha…It made its way to me on its own!”

This boy was very good at catching fish. He could swim after a group of ducks and geese and snatch the fish from their mouths. This was mainly why the geese would always scatter and quack whenever they saw him.

So the members often watched Sanwang being chased by a big white goose in the river at noon while Dawang picked up Xiaowang. Erwang usually followed his brothers obediently as the three of them hid on the edge to watch the fun.

Xiaowang, “Little Third Brother is so awesome— he can swim faster than a big white goose!”

Erwang, “If you’re slow and you get a bite on your bum, it’s going to hurt for a few days.”

Idiot, Dawang thought. He could obviously hold his breath for such a long time, so the boy could have slipped under the water and escaped easily. Instead, he just had to subject himself to a wild goose chase.

Since boys all liked to go into the water, Han Qingsong included swimming in his morning exercises. There was also running, push-ups and other items other than swimming.

For this reason, Han Qingsong also specially asked someone to buy several pairs of swimming trunks and two sets of women’s swimsuits from the provincial capital for each person. Even Xiaowang had one.

After getting their swimsuits, Sanwang and Xiaowang no longer had to go into the water with their nudity laid bare.

During morning exercises, Sanwang wanted Han Qingsong to swim with them to see who was better, but their father had never entered the water once. He always blew his whistle and directed them to jump into the river as if they were dumplings that were to be cooked in a pot. He stood on the riverbank with his hands behind his back and watched them.

Sanwang and Erwang murmured, “Second Brother, do you think our father can’t swim?”

Erwang, “Definitely not, father had even participated in the winter swimming event.”

“Then why isn’t he going into the water during the summer?”

Erwang couldn’t figure it out either, but he didn’t dare to ask.

They instigated Xiaowang to ask.

So on the way home for breakfast after morning exercises, Xiaowang put on his straw sandals and chased after Han Qingsong with small, light steps, “Father.”

Han Qingsong thought his pace was too fast and the child wasn’t able to keep up, so he reached out and picked him up before carrying him in his arms.

With just a gesture like this, Xiaowang was so happy that he kissed Han Qingsong.

Han Qingsong, “…”

“Father, let me ask a question.”

Han Qingsong, “Yeah.”

“Why don’t you go into the water? Do you know how to swim?”

Han Qingsong,”I do, it’s just inconvenient.”

Xiaowang, “Why is it inconvenient?”

Han Qingsong, “You wouldn’t understand.”

Xiaowang, “You can tell me, I’ll understand.”

Han Qingsong, “Go on and play with your brothers.”
