In fact, she wanted Xiaowang to sleep on the bed with her, but Han Qingsong disagreed.
Since it was hot in sumr, she wore less clothes at night and the child already liked to stick to her if there was nothing else to do. The kid was an eyesore to Han Qingsong, so he had to send him out.
In order to prevent the children from being itchy from mosquito bites all day long, Lin Lan took the tickets issued by Han Qingsong to get sothing. Riding their bicycle, she took the ti to go to the county to buy several boxes of tiger balm.
Dragon Tiger brand’s Tiger Balm was cheap and easy to use, so they would keep it at ho for common use in sumr. But such a small thing couldn’t be found if one was careless in keeping it. Therefore, it must be kept by Maisui and Erwang, which would result in the dication being placed in their pockets or at a fixed place. Anyone who wanted to use it could go to these two for the balm.
If Sanwang were to touch it for long, then the entire balm itself might disappear to God-knows-where.
Although the mosquitoes were rampant, the children loved sumr the most because they could go to the river and play in the water. Although Sanwang was beaten for going into the water during the Qingming Festival, Lin Lan did not restrain him from entering the water. She only told him to warm up and not be alone when swimming. In fact, she also told Dawang to take his brothers to learn how to swim when he had the ti.
When Sanwang was not cutting grass after school, he liked swimming in the water and catching fish. He was good at moving in the water and could catch fish easily, so he improved his family’s als with fish every now and then.
This was why Han Yongfang’s managent brigade was relatively lax on this matter. Their brigade didn’t raise fish and the fish in the river basically ca from the flood season. mbers could catch them if they wanted to. He did not insist on saying that it was public property and could not be hunted privately. If it was a fish raised by a team like the Lin family village’s, then the mbers weren’t allowed to touch it. Anyone who caught those fish without permission would be considered an act of stealing and they would be prosecuted if caught.
Lin Lan asked Dawang and Sanwang to teach the other two brothers how to swim. At this ti, many people in the village were landlubbers. She felt that boys still had to learn how to swim since it would save them a lot of trouble to take baths in the sumr.
If it weren’t for the inconvenience of being crowded by n in the village, she would have taken Maisui into the water and taught her daughter how to swim!
Xiaowang learnt quickly. He was young and had great trust in his Eldest and Third Brothers. His Little Third Brother said, “Don’t hold your breath to the point of sinking into the water, I will support you,” Xiaowang followed the instructions obediently. He believed his older brothers would definitely support him. So Xiaowang learned to hold his breath adequately and alternate his breathing after only a few hours in the water. Besides swimming a little slower than them, he would be able to float in the water from then on.
Dawang then took him to play in shallower waters.
