Chapter 628
Lin Lan, “Sigh, as I get older, I really can’t avoid this. Look at this meaty waist— I should definitely exercise a little more. Do you think I should exercise with you and the boys in the morning?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pressed onto the quilt.
“We can start exercising now,” His voice was hoarse and his dark eyes were burning with passion.
Lin Lan, “…” I think I’m quite thin now, thank you!
On the Qingming Festival the next day, Han Qingsong got up early and took the children to exercise. Then Erwang and Maisui cooked as Dawang took the two younger ones out to break willow branches, cypresses and peach branches before coming back.
They first beat around both of their houses, saying that they were beating geckos and poisonous insects to drive away evil spirits. Then, they cut off pine and cypress trees and wore them on their hair, saying that they could prevent centipedes and other insects from boring into their ears to make sure they stayed safe the entire year. After cleaning up, they placed the willow branches and peach branches on the door and made a wreath for Wangwang to wear.
Sanwang had a serious look on his face and his tone was like an old man’s, “Hmph, if you don’t plant willows during the Qingming Festival, you will turn into a yellow dog(2) after death.”
(T/N: A way to call someone who is worthless or useless)
Lin Lan, “…” She didn’t really understand the idealism behind all this either, so she couldn’t teach them otherwise.
Xiaowang immediately shouted, “I don’t want to die and become a yellow dog.”
Maisui hurriedly coaxed him, “You are only so young, you’ve got at least a hundred years more to live.”
