The boys in Lin Lan’s family have all brought along their swimming trunks to school. After school, they would run to the river and change into their swimming trunks behind so hay or grass. Then, they would line up by the edge of the water in the order of oldest to youngest before Sanwang would make a countdown for them to jump together.
At this mont, school was over and it wasn’t exactly ti to eat yet, so it was the perfect opportunity to play.
She saw that Sanwang was holding a fish in his hand, but there were 3 big geese chasing him. The pursuit caused Sanwang to swim all over, but he also managed to lose the fish that he had caught in the process. This chaotic scene made the other children laugh out loud.
In the end, Sanwang had no choice but to dive under the water and weave through the geese’s territory. He swam a long way before he resurfaced, wiped his face and uttered with lingering fear, “That was close!”
Xiaowang clapped his little hands and said with a smile, “Little Third Brother, you swam faster and managed to hold your breath for even longer now.”
Sanwang made a salute towards the big white goose and said, “I yield, I yield.”
The others laughed again.
Erwang turned around to see his parents and waved hurriedly. Xiaowang imdiately climbed ashore and handed the two crucian carps that were caught to Lin Lan, “Mom, Little Third Brother caught them!”
Lin Lan took it and wiped the water on Xiaowang’s face with a handkerchief. The fair and tender child had turned into a shade of red from the sun. Xiaowang’s skin was not tanned, but it turned red when he was exposed to the sun. Plus, in severe cases, the skin would peel off. She and Han Qingsong took Xiaowang back to the house first and let the other brothers play for a while.
Sanwang could improve the variety of their als by catching fish. Although the fish were not big, they were all wild and very delicious. They tasted best when fried with a little bit of oil or made into fish soup.
Maisui helped Lin Lan cook the al before she went to the patio to finish her howork. It would get dark only by 8pm, so she wouldn’t need to waste any oil to light lamps before then.
Lin Lan said, “My daughter, if it’s hot, don’t stay at ho all the ti. You can go out and play with the others.”
With Dawang and Erwang leading the brothers, Lin Lan didn’t worry whether they planned to play in the water or do sothing else.
Maisui said, “Mom, I need to read more. I heard on the radio that there seems to be so kind of trials for the Workers, Farrs and Military Class students. Maybe I might be able to work there when I grow up.”
Lin Lan was very pleased that her daughter was so motivated and no longer the vainly dense person she was in her previous life. She smiled and said, “You are only in 2nd grade, so don’t worry too much about it now. Maybe you can even take the college entrance examination when you grow up.”
Maisui’s eyes lit up, “Mom, is that really okay?”
Lin Lan said, “I think it might work. There’s already trial classes for the Workers, Farrs and Military sections, aren’t there? They can’t exactly stop enrolling university students, can they? Wouldn’t the nurous universities go to waste then? Besides, all walks of life also needed their respective talents, so not targeting students would also make little sense.”
