Chapter 690
Han Qingsong felt that the bathroom was worth building.
Even after having a bathroom, Han Qingsong didn’t like to go out to wash himself at night. He even said that since he was sweating a lot in summer, he just asked her to wipe his back more often. He goes out from morning to night time on a daily basis so he definitely should take a shower. Lin Lan didn’t bother with his request. In fact, every time he took a shower, he would somehow be able to make her soaked in water as well. By then, he would convince her that since she was also wet, might as well come join him.
After dinner that day, Sanwang picked up a lantern and some matches. Then, he led Xiaowang and hurriedly went off to find some cicadas, “Eldest Brother, Second Brother and SIster, hurry up. If we’re late, Zhuzi and the others will finish catching them all.”
Hunting for cicadas was also a summer after-meal routine for many commune members. It’s so addictive that it’s hard to go a day without catching them. After all, it could help digest food and the extra cicadas could be taken as extra snacks. All in all, it was a good entertainment activity.
The five children went out together to search in the woods around the village. Depending on how long the night lasted, they could catch about 40 or 50 of them. Sometimes, the number went as high as a hundred, which was quite impressive.
Sanwang was particularly addicted to it. Even Erwang and Dawang, who were not that interested at first, were led by the boy to look for cicadas every night.
Those who had the equipment could use flashlights or lanterns to find the cicadas. For the brave, they could just feel around the terrain while being guided by the shadow of the moon. If they saw a dark bump on the tree, they would touch it. Most of them were tree tumours, but if things went in their favour, they would snag a cicada. On the less lucky side, they might have touched either a snake or some other bug.
After the children left, Han Qingsong helped Lin Lan pick up the dishes and wash them.
Lin Lan, “I’m going to take a shower first,” She went over holding the clean clothes that she had prepared.
After her shower, Lin Lan realised that she had clearly prepared a change of underwear, shorts and an undervest, so why was the latter missing?
