Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 686
In a blink of an eye, the spring planting was over and a few days later, the wheat harvests were ushered in. ‘3 summers were not as long as one autumn and 3 autumns were not as busy as one summer’. That was because one could harvest the autumn crops every day for a total of 3 months, but the spring harvest could not be done that way. The wheat crops were turning yellow really quickly, so they must quickly return to the field and work hard.
Therefore, the wheat harvest was the busiest and most tiring time of the year. For about 10 days, everyone’s skins felt like they were being peeled off.
During the wheat harvest, in order to reward the members, the team also shared some meat.
After the wheat was harvested and the rain started to fall and help the land grow corn, millet etc, the members could be more relaxed.

By then, there was a good harvest of fruits and vegetables in the garden and every household was capable of having a scrumptious meal on the table. This held true especially for Lin Lan’s family, who cooked delicious food with their children every day.
When the wheat was harvested, 3 kilograms of meat were divided. In addition, Han Qingsong was also issued meat tickets and could obtain 8 taels/ a kilogram of meat in a month. It was hot in summer and it’s hard to keep protein for a long time. No matter how much he bought, Lin Lan basically cooked them in one meal so that the children could enjoy themselves.
There were dishes such as sweet and sour pork, braised pork, braised meatballs, hand-made meatballs, pork marinated in sweet vinaigrette… Lin Lan cooked them all and made the children eat them until their mouths were full of oil.
It’s midsummer now. The weather was hot, the rain had been heavy and thus, mosquitoes were rampant.
The place where Lin Lan’s family lived was full of lush greenery and because of that, there were more mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were also vicious and especially bit Xiaowang often. In a room full of children, they would only target Xiaowang’s tender skin, which made Lin Lan feel very distressed.
She first cut out a special cotton mesh for mosquito nets from the commune and sewed 3 mosquito nets with white cloth. She and Han Qingsong had one, the boys had one and Maisui had one.
It turned out that Sanwang had really bad sleeping habits. He was either boxing or practising shadow kicks at night quite often. If he slept in the middle, everyone around him would suffer, so Dawang could only squeeze him into a corner. But in this case, he would lean against the edge of the mosquito net. Oddly enough, even with his feet sticking out, the mosquitoes wouldn’t bite him as they would always get in between his legs to sting Xiaowang.
Everyone laughed at Sanwang because he was so tanned that mosquitoes weren’t able to find a good spot to suck blood from him. Since the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Sanwang had become tanner and tanner day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this point, he had turned into a little Bao Gong with a crescent moon on his head!
As for Han Qingsong and Dawang, Lin Lan joked that they were too cold to be bitten by mosquitoes, so they were nicknamed ‘people who mosquitoes didn’t dare to bite’ and Sanwang was called ‘black pudding’.
Finally, she moved Xiaowang to Maisui’s mosquito-netted kang. At any rate, since Xiaowang slept well, there was nothing wrong with him sleeping on the same kang as his sister.
