Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 712

When Xiaowang heard that his father had a fever, he became even more alarmed and said quickly, “Mom, give father a tablet of Analgin(1)!”

(T/N: Think of it as the Panadol back then)

Everyone put their bowls down to avoid spilling the porridge as they laughed.

Han Qingsong touched Xiaowang’s head with his big hand, “Let’s eat. Father doesn’t have a fever, I just don’t like to sweat.”

Lin Lan smiled and said, “Your father is not afraid of the cold in winter nor the heat in summer. This is called having good health. You should exercise hard and learn from him.”

After dinner, Sanwang wanted to go find more cicadas, but Dawang said he wouldn’t go today.

Sanwang, “Eldest Brother, why aren’t you coming today?”

Dawang, “I’m tired today, I’d go tomorrow.”

Sanwang exaggeratedly spoke, “Eldest Brother, are you still tired? I thought you would never be out of energy,” He was surprised— neither he nor Xiaowang was tired, so why was he the one who seemed exhausted? But if Dawang said he wouldn’t go, then that was exactly what he did. Sanwang couldn’t do anything about it, so he was thinking about asking Erwang to bring them along.

Lin Lan said, “It’s tiring to look for cicadas and catch them every night. You guys still have to get up early in the morning. I think it kind of looks like it’s going to rain today, so maybe you shouldn’t go,” The sky was very clear during the day, but it was now overcast and dark. Small flashes of lightning could even be faintly seen in the thick clouds over the horizon.

When Sanwang heard his mother saying so, he looked at his younger brother and said, “Xiaowang, let’s look for some by the door.”

Xiaowang hugged the empty wine bottle that he usually carried while replying “Let’s go.”

Just then, Han Qingsong said he would go to the Lin Family house, so Lin Lan packed up some peaches that Dong Huiahua had given for him to bring along.

Before he could even go, Han Qinghua appeared.

“Third Brother!” Han Qinghua greeted happily as soon as he entered the door. He also held a few tomatoes in his hand before he put them on the table and looked at Lin Lan, “Sister-in-law, my mother gives these to you. They are incredibly sweet.”

Lin Lan smiled and said, “Thank you very much. Have you eaten?”

Han Qinghua, “Yes I have.”

The children all said hello to their Fourth Uncle.

When he saw that Sanwang was going to find some cicadas, he also said excitedly, “I’ll go with you.”

Lin Lan hurriedly added, “You can just sit down here, they’re just going to search for some by the door,” Maisui and Erwang took away the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the table before bringing out the teapot and some teacups.

Han Qingsong asked his Fourth Brother to sit down and poured him a drink. Lin Lan’s homemade fruit tea was in it, the sweet-sourness doing wonders in quenching his thirst.

Han Qinghua took a sip and praised, “It tastes really good!”

Han Qingsong, “Your sister-in-law made it.”

Lin Lan’s family didn’t normally prepare tea. At this time, the quality of local tea was not good and Han Qingsong was a man who didn’t have much yearning for it. Smoking, wine, sugar and tea were basically unfamiliar to him since he wasn’t used to it, so Lin Lan didn’t bother to make them either. However, she usually dried some dried hawthorns, seeped them in hot water with some red dates before pouring it into a soup can and let it cool. After that, they were free to enjoy it for the day.
