The person who ca was none other than Han Qinghua. The past arrogance and pride that he once harboured was no longer evident as he appeared before the children, smiling kindly and steadily. He looked very similar to Han Qingsong.
Han Qinghua was pretty good-looking. Since he had been pampered since she was a child, he had delicate skin and tender flesh. Plus, he was fairly literate, which made him naturally a bit more handso and capable than other villagers. It’s just that he used to be too squeamish, naughty and arrogant. Wearing a green military uniform all day long along with a crooked military cap, he always looked like a gangster on his bike.
Now, after being trained in the labour camp, he had grown taller and his slightly long hair was trimd into a crew cut. The originally fair skin he possessed had also been tanned to a hue of bronze. With how he was smiling, it seed like his temperant had changed drastically as he appeared to look like a well-mannered youngster.
Dawang’s expression darkened at first before returning to normal. He then handed the pole to Han Qinghua and let him do what he wanted to.
As expected, Han Qinghua knew how to trap the cicadas and asked them to keep their voices down and stay away, “The cicadas on the tree can hear you guys move.”
After a while, he also stuck a few for them.
Erwang and Sanwang had already run ho and told Lin Lan quickly, “Mom, Fourth Uncle is back!”
Lin Lan was making so noodles in the room. When she heard them utter the term Fourth Uncle, she was stunned for a mont before realising it was Han Qinghua.
Her heart tightened and she subconsciously thought that Han Qinghua was here to cause more trouble. She quickly washed her hands, took off her apron and followed the children out for a look.
Han Qinghua and Dawang happened to return and t Lin Lan at the gate. He handed the pole to Dawang, held his hand towards Lin Lan and smiled happily, “Third Sister-in-law, I’m here to apologise to you. I was the one being a jerk all this ti.”
With that said, he bowed to Lin Lan.
Lin Lan frowned slightly, “Han Qinghua, what are you trying to pull?” Why didn’t Han Qingsong tell that he was going to co back? Did he not know instead?
Han Qinghua straightened up with an aggrieved look on his face, “Sister-in-law, you have wronged — I really want to apologise for what I’ve done. I have realised that I was wrong. I was such a bastard before, but now I truly know that it was my fault,” He saw a thin stick standing in the corner before he stepped forward and took it in his hand.
Dawang’s expression changed and he imdiately stood in front of Lin Lan to shield her from his uncle.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Han Qinghua laughed and said, “They are all good children. They know how to protect their mothers after growing up,” He smiled bitterly, “It was all my fault in the past. I was such a jerk,” He turned the stick upside down and passed it to Lin Lan, “Sister-in-law, give a good beating to vent your anger. Then, we can see how I behave in the future.”
Lin Lan, “There’s no need to do this.”
