Lin Lan quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, laughing so hard that her mouth wasn’t able to close, “It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be easy eating without choking during this al. Eat quickly and be careful.”
It got dark just after dinner. Since it was cold in December, Lin Lan didn’t let the kids go out to play. They just listened to the radio, read books and played gas on the kang before heading to bed early.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Lan and Qiaoqiao were cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks while the others were getting ready to go to school.
Suddenly, a group of children rushed in and lined up in the yard. They put their hands on their hips and shouted, “We are the bald team, haha!”
Sanwang led Xiaowang and Haonan to rush towards the group of children. They were so happy, especially when they saw Lice Head who had his hair shaved bald as well.
“You know, Lice Head shaved off a lot of lice yesterday, but now there are none, haha.”
“The lice couldn’t stand and fell to death, haha.”
Lin Lan joined in the laughter. Seeing a group of children so happy, she went to grab a handful of red dates and gave each of them one or two as a snack.
When Dawang ca out with his school bag, he was stunned by the amount of bald heads in the yard.
Erwang and Maisui also laughed. Maisui even touched Erwang’s head, “Second Brother, do you want to learn about it too?”
Erwang pulled a face at his sister, despite it being a rare occurrence, “Do you and Sister Qiaoqiao want to try it?”
Maisui turned around and waved goodbye to Lin Lan and Qiaoqiao, chasing behind the boys.
Qiaoqiao looked at their receding backs and smiled gently, “Fourth Aunt, a life like this is really happy.”
Lin Lan put her arm around her shoulders, “That’s right, my stomach hurts from laughing all day.”
She added, “In fact, these naughty boys are really annoying. Just talking about Sanwang alone is enough, since he has caused us a lot of trouble. But the old saying is right, even if a child breaks a bowl, they’re actually very cute at that mont of confusion. Let’s not just look at the broken bowl, but try to find joy in things that are aningful.”
Qiaoqiao nodded thoughtfully— so that’s what it was. In fact, Sanwang was so playful and naughty that he would undoubtedly be beaten every other day if he was born in another family. And for Haonan, their mother wanted to throw him out whenever he was at ho, but at their Fourth Aunt’s house, she thought Haonan was very cute and praised him every day. Incidentally, this made Haonan feel that he was really cute, making his mischievous temper much better.
For example, before this, he poked the chickens in the coop at ho just for fun and his grandmother said he did a good job, but his mother would beat him up instead. Here, Sanwang also led the others to chase chickens and play with the dogs, but he also drove the chickens out to dig out the manure and clean up the shed. Here, Haonan didn’t mind the ss, but even initiated to help out as well.
