Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 710
However, the clothes were in better shape than the quilts. Because she made outer and inner layers for the children to keep them warm and easy to clean, the winter clothes were still in considerably good shape. Most children in the village wore hollow jackets, one shirt and one pair of trousers during the winter. When the weather was hot, they merely removed the outer jacket and when the weather was cold, they would put them on as a layer. One could imagine how dirty those clothes were going to be just by thinking about it.
It was hard work when piecing these clothes together, but it was relatively easy when taking it apart. Lin Lan couldn’t help but laugh when she thought about how Han Qingsong helped her sew both the quilts and coats.
Because there were too many clothes and quilts to clean
in half a day, she folded the cotton cores that she had removed, tied them up with a bag and put them in the cabinet to prevent them from getting dirty.
Seeing that it was almost time, she started to prepare dinner first.

Now, the children went to mow the grass after school to earn some work points. If they wanted to, they could go for a swim in the river, so they wouldn’t really return home early most of the time.
While she was washing some vegetables, Han Qingsong came back. Lin Lan gave him a cleanly washed tomato. Han Qingsong wasn’t one to eat snacks, so Lin Lan had him eat some fruits if there was nothing else, and he had gotten used to the practice over time.
Han Qingsong took it and had a bite. The tomatoes they grew in the garden looked red and tasted sweet as it was plump and juicy, with a particularly fresh taste.
Lin Lan, “Did you know that Old Four is back?”
Hearing this, Han Qingsong stopped for a moment before he started eating again, “They’re allowed to return and visit their relatives for now. Did he come over?”
Lin Lan nodded, “He hung out with the children at noon, seems like he has changed a lot.”
Han Qingsong, “Labour can transform a person.”
Lin Lan said, “You should go and have a look.”
“We can talk about it after dinner,” Han Qingsong was not in a hurry. Usually when he went to work at Shanshui Farm, he would take a look at his youngest brother anyways, so there wasn’t anything special about seeing him now.
Once it was past 6 o’clock, the children ran back home together. In addition to mowing grass for the Production Team, they also brought some tender wild vegetables back to feed the ducks. In fact, their ducks were actually also very sensible. They explored the river to eat fish and shrimp during the day, but they never laid their eggs in the river— it was always done in their nests late at night or early in the morning.
The boys had just been in the water and returned home wearing their swimming trunks. Masui was leading Xiaowang in front of the group with two school bags on her back.
When they got home they were all dry, so they changed out of their swimming trunks and put on tank tops before helping out their mother.
Lin Lan was holding a basin and each person was given a tomato to eat to quench their thirst. Then, Dawang and Sanwang cleaned the yard, Han Qingsong moved the dining table over, Erwang and Maisui helped set the meal and Xiaowang went to inspect the chickens, ducks and dogs at home.
