Chapter 562
At this time, the boys of the same family could kowtow to the elders to pay their New Year’s greetings. This was also a good opportunity to kowtow for money.
Because there were fights and conflicts in the main house, there wouldn’t be anyone available to entertain the children, so Lin Lan didn’t let her children go. They’ll talk about it the next morning.
Of course, she didn’t expect nor want the children over there to come here either.
She lit up the lamp and held it up high, leading her children to shine the light on every part of the house and the courtyard. They shone the light over the latrines, thatched cottages, chicken coops, duck pens, and dog kennels. This was all done as a tradition to bless them and make sure the animals grew up well.
Finally shining the light on the children, she said with a smile, “It’s Chinese New Year, so I’ll shine this on you and hope that you all grow tall and healthy.”
Sanwang jumped up and asked Lin Lan to shine the light on him, “Mother, do I look like your boyfriend?”
Lin Lan, “…” I think you need a beating
She lifted her foot as Sanwang ran away.
Sanwang chased after Dawang and whispered, “Eldest Brother, what is a boyfriend?”
Dawang, “A friend that is a boy.”
