Lin Lan, “County Town, so if you have anything to say, wait till we come back.”
“I want to use a bike!” Han Jinyu was very angry, “I also have something to go to the County Town! Why do you have to bring so many people to the County anyways? Let me have a bicycle!”
Seeing how domineering she was, Lin Lan knew that her head was probably still stuck in the past. Truly, how could she not know how to go with the tides?
Lin Lan didn’t bother to care and remained perfunctory towards her, “I’m sorry, the 7 of us is the max capacity.”
7 people on two bikes was the limit, so it was impossible to bring her along. Besides, even if she could fit in, Lin Lan didn’t want to have her tag along at all. It was annoying to even see her, let alone act as if the past dramas and mistreatment never happened.
How could she?
Lin Lan remembered all of the incidents. After all, she was good at holding grudges.
Han Jinyu was saddened before she reached out to grab Maisui’s beautiful scarf, “I want to have this.”
Maisui snatched it back, “Why?! My parents bought it for me.”
She immediately ran to sit on the seat in front of Han Qingsong.
Han Qingsong signalled for Lin Lan to go ahead first so he could trail behind. He was worried that if she couldn’t handle riding with the two kids and end up falling, Dawang would be ready at any time to fill in.
Lin Lan gave him a playful smile before pacing off. Looking down on me? It’s just riding a bicycle.
In the end, she underestimated the power of this 28-inch bike. With Sanwang in front of her and Erwang behind, it was actually quite…difficult to control the bike.
“Let’s go!” The children cheered, causing the nearby children to come out to watch them enviously. The other children also expressed that they wanted to play in the County Town as well, but it inevitably earned them eye rolls and scoldings from their parents.
Han Jinyu stomped her feet in anger, eyes stained red with grievance, “I want to go to the County Town as well!”
…
Lin Lan’s family of 7 rode their bicycles through a couple of scenic spots. The children in the front seat were responsible for ringing the bells, but they also sang and shouted to their hearts’ content. It was as lively as a publicity team having a talk show.
Lin Lan reminded Maisui and Sanwang, “The ones in front must keep their mouths closed;,I don’t want either of you to have stomachs full of air later in case you feel bloated.”
Purposely, Sanwang opened his mouth and arms as he tried to prove a point and tease his mother. Lin Lan pushed her knees up against his backside, pushing him down onto the seat.
The north wind of October blew and the leaves of poplars and locust trees were falling like raindrops as the crops in the surrounding fields were nowhere in sight. The sight of the scenery was unobstructed, revealing the blue sky, which made them feel rather peaceful.
The family talked and laughed throughout the journey.
When Lin Lan was tired, Han Qingsong asked Dawang to replace her.
Dawang, on the other hand, was very happy as it was very awkward when he had to sit behind his father the entire time. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to hold onto Xiaowang, he’d rather run behind the bike instead!
