Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 722
In the evening, Lin Lan told Han Qingsong about Han Jinyu’s blind date.
Han Qingsong was not surprised when he heard that Han Jinyu went on a blind date in the County. She might have been introduced to the young man through a classmate or something— it didn’t matter much.
Throughout the next few days, Lin Lan found that Han Qinghua had appeared to seem kind and happy every day. When Han Qingsong brought his sons for exercise in the morning, he also ran along with them. He said that he had gotten used to it on the farm and it actually felt wrong to not exercise back home instead.
Han Qingsong didn’t reject him, so Lin Lan naturally wasn’t suspicious either. After all, Han Qinghua looked rather normal.
After that blind date, Han Jinyu came to borrow the bicycle twice more. Although she was pretty unhappy about it still, she still addressed Lin Lan as her sister-in-law. Lin Lan also didn’t try to make things even more difficult for her.
When the children had their day off, after having breakfast in the morning, Lin Lan announced that she was going to wash the clothes by the river.
Sanwang ran ahead to snag a spot before he was followed by several other people carrying baskets, basins, soaps and small stools, causing a stir in the once peaceful, tranquil river.
Xiaowang gave everyone a heads-up, “We are the successors of socialism, ready or not, here we come~” before the whole family sang the ‘Young Pioneers’ song as they marched to the river.
The village had placed some stone slabs in several places along the frequently used river where Commune members could do their laundry or wash the vegetables. When the weather was warm, this was a pretty popular spot as women would come washing their clothes often.
Sanwang occupied the best spot for his mother, Elder Sister and Second Brother to wash the clothes on the shore. The other spots were left for the rest of the women.
Lin Lan and Maisui then started working on the laundry on the stone slab. After soaping them up, they started rubbing them to create bubbles. The large sheets were too heavy and made of homespun cloth, so it was a very laborious task to wash them.
Sanwang and Erwang stood on the stone slab and helped to step on it. Sanwang counted off the rhythm that he had made up, “1, 2, 3; wash the clothes, soap the load! Cha-cha-cha, step it hard! Step it hard, I say!”
The louder Sanwang got with his chants, the harder Erwang involuntarily started to step on the clothes. Erwang spoke, “Sanwang, please stop shouting, my feet are becoming numb from stomping on them.”
Sanwang burst out laughing.
Xiaowang had already taken off his clothes and was lying in the water. His glasses were fixed on his head with elastic bands as he asked Lin Lan to watch him waddle around in the water, “Mom, do you think I look like a little fish?”
Lin Lan saw him moving his hands and feet while opening and closing his mouth. It was as if he was imitating a fish blowing bubbles underwater, so she said with a smile, “What a big fish.”
Xiaowang started singing, “I am a fish, swimming from left to right; I am a fish, diving from the top with my might. If you see me, I’ll give you a kiss; I am a fish, full of love, light and bliss~”
