Chapter 727
Lin Lan argued back in an agitated tone, “How is this a waste of food? Are the captured cicadas no longer considered meat?”
“How many of them can you manage to catch anyways? Either way, it’s definitely a waste of flour and time. Plus, if you really have the skills, you might as well use those skills to earn more work points,” Once again, the women were just unhappy that Lin Lan was able to coddle and spoil her children by letting them do whatever they wanted to.
“You’re saying that we’re wasting food just because you don’t know how to catch cicadas? Do you think that everyone is as useless as you are?” Lin Lan retorted and let out a harumph of disdain.
Dawang had no intentions to catch cicadas at all, but after hearing this, he hurriedly hung up the remaining clothes before leading his younger brothers off to indulge in their bug-catching activities.
Xiaowang immediately climbed ashore as he stood on the big stone slab and asked Lin Lan to help wipe the water off his body. He then put on a vest and grabbed his harmonica, “Mom, I’ll play a tune for the cicadas to make them more willing to be sticked by Eldest Brother.”
The women nearby all curled their lips and snickered at each other.
Lin Lan just let the kids run off as they liked. After all, she could wash the rest herself. If Maisui didn’t want to go, she could choose to stay behind and help her out as well.
When the kids went to catch the cicadas, they even brought over some pancakes and pickled vegetables for their mother and sister. At the very least, they would have something to nibble on to prevent them from going hungry.
After eating the pancakes, Lin Lan and Maisui decided to wash up before going home in order to avoid the need of coming back for the second time.
