Chapter 520
Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household
Lin Lan was very happy. Her daughter had wanted a pair of new socks for a long time, so this happened to be a good new yearâs gift.
It was slightly bigger than Maisuiâs size, but as long as she liked it, nothing else mattered.
When Lin Lan and Dong Huaihua finished their meeting and were about to go home, they happened to encounter Han Qingsong returning.
After exchanging a few words, Han Qingsong said, âLetâs go back together.â
âYouâre off work already?â
âI went to the farm and got a load of coal.â
âReally?â Lin Lan was happy when she got the towel and socks, but now she was even happier, âThen Erwang must be happy.â
Dong Huaihua was surprised when she heard that Lin Lanâs house had no more grass to burn, âYou were given so much, though. You burnt them all already?â
Lin Lan was embarrassed as she said with a smile, âNo, itâs just that our Erwang was worried that we would run out sooner or later, so he went to cut some calabash stems.â
Dong Huaihua enviously said, âLin Lan, your children are really sensible. Sigh, look at the kids of my family, all of them still sleeping and taking things for granted.â
Lin Lan smiled and said, âNonsense, those kids in your family think about earning work points all day long; you donât know how sensible they are.â
When her own children were still a mess, all she could do was remain envious about Dong Huaihuaâs children.
The two praised each otherâs work and family for a bit longer before they laughed. Then, they went home, seated on Han Qingsongâs mule cart.
Lin Lan saw that besides coal, there was actually charcoal in the cart as well, which led her to think about making barbecue for the children.
When they reached the intersection in the village, Dong Huaihua jumped out of the cart and said goodbye to them before Han Qingsong steered the vehicle back home.
When the children heard that their parents were coming back, they came out one after another to have a look. All of them were very happy to see an entire cart of coal being brought to them as well.
Especially Erwang, the child was so happy!
âFather, where did you buy the coal?â
Han Qingsong, âShanshui Farm,â He first brought down two baskets of charcoal and took out a big stick that was wrapped in newspaper and handed it to Lin Lan, âThis is the mutton leg they shared,â There were also two pieces of dried chicken and duck meat.
Mutton leg?
Lin Lan was overjoyed. She was just about to cook a barbecue, so the mutton being delivered over was nothing short of considerate.
She smiled and said, âI have to express my utmost gratitude to Director Song.â
Han Qingsong glanced at her, âItâs only right to get a leg of mutton these days considering how hard he was commanding us these few days.â
Lin Lan immediately patted his back, âThird Brother has worked hard. Our Third Brother helped him out so much that we deserve this leg of meat, haha.â
Han Qingsong put one arm around her waist before he let go and took the children home to arrange the coal.
They placed the coal directly under the west wall and put a small part and the two baskets of charcoal in the south room.
