Lin Lan found it funny to see him like that. If this were the case in modern tis, he would definitely be a loyal fan of the mukbang internet celebrities with how much he liked to eat.
After dinner, the Brigade Leader shouted on the street with a loudspeaker, “Tomorrow is Qingming Day. n will pay homage to their ancestors early in the morning and sweep their tombs before going to work. Won and children have a day off and can go to the front and back villages to play with the swings. Those who choose not to take the day off can earn double work points!”
This was a benefit provided by the brigade to won and children.
If New Year’s Eve was a festival for n, then the Qingming Festival was a festival for won. They played on swings, went on outings and played in groups.
Han Yongfang didn’t really support the idea of building swings and other items alike. Not only was it dangerous, but it also delayed work. But the Brigade Leader advised him to give the won a holiday and let them have so fun. Those who were willing to work could work and those who wanted to play could play, so it didn’t really matter that much.
When Han Yongfang heard this, he was not happy about the holiday. Wouldn’t letting them play around delay work? He told the Brigade Leader, “Then I will double the points to whoever chooses to work,” This way, most of the won would not be able to take a break.
Brigade Leader, you’re the only one who’s so cunning!
After being disturbed by Han Yongfang’s tactic, most won chose to go to work while so decided to work for half a day. The favoured girls or newlyweds could rest for a whole day and go to the other villages to play on the swings together.
Han Qingsong asked Lin Lan to take their daughter and the younger boys to play while he took Dawang and Erwang to earn work points.
“This festival is only held once a year,” he said.
Lin Lan thought about it and decided that it wasn’t a bad idea, so she decided that she would bring Maisui out tomorrow and pretend that it was Daughter’s Day.
Maisui was happy when she heard this. She hugged Lin Lan’s neck and circled, “Mother, you are so nice.”
She turned around and saw Sanwang and Xiaowang standing side-by-side, looking up at her with extrely envious eyes.
Maisui said in surprise, “Ah, what expressions are these?”
Sanwang sighed before he touched Xiaowang’s head. It sounded like his sigh was done so in a tone where only Xiaowang could understand.
Xiaowang pursed his lips and lowered his head as he took Sanwang’s hand and walked out.
Lin Lan, “…” What’s going on?
When she washed her face and feet at night, she was going to wash Xiaowang’s as usual.
Xiaowang, “Mother, I’ll wash myself,” He was going to wash up by himself and prove to her that he could be useful to make sure that he wouldn’t be sent away.
Lin Lan said in surprise, “Xiaowang has grown up and can wash his own feet now.”
Sanwang imdiately ran over and said, “Xiaowang, I’ll wash it for you,” After all, since he was the biological son, he had to show off.
Seeing how sensible he was, Lin Lan was even happier. She touched the heads of the two children and said, “Little Third Brother is great, he can take care of his younger brother now.”
