NOVPUBSometimes, what made her happy was not what her children were going to do or what they were going to achieve. Instead, it was what her children enjoyed doing wholeheartedly and seriously.
Lin Lan thought that liking something, studying for it from the bottom of your heart, repeatedly practising and improving the skill was a very remarkable achievement.
Whether a person was successful or not did not depend on how high their social achievements were or how much value they created. It depended on whether they could handle life with ease and whether they had a healthy interest that was able to make them strive for a better outcome in their lifetimes.
If the kids could grow up to do this, then this was the epitome of success to her. By then, she would congratulate them with all her heart.
This was the new understanding she gained from travelling through time.
This was also the reason why she still supported Sanwang swimming so often even after his cramping incident.
Seeing Lin Lan giving him a chance, Dawang’s dark eyes became clearer and more compelled to work hard, “I will definitely succeed!”
Lin Lan smiled, “Then as your parents, mom and father will wait for your good news. Good luck, my son!” 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
She patted Dawang on the shoulder to encourage him.
After dinner, everyone busied themselves with their own activities before they washed up and went to bed. After the children were settled, Lin Lan went to bed as she talked to Han Qingsong about Dawang.
Han Qingsong had no objection to the decision. Lin Lan had always been in charge of family affairs, money and food in the house. As long as she agreed, there was no reason for him to object.
He was a traditional man, firmly adhering to the traditional idea that men should be responsible for the exterior portion of a family and the women should be in charge of the interior. Just like in the army, the division of labour was clear and everyone had their own duties.
Even if there were conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or even between sisters-in-law, he generally did not intervene as long as it did not involve major accidents. If Lin Lan didn’t initiate the need for him to be involved, then he wouldn’t meddle either.
Even though the children were all in school now, he never asked a single question about their studies.
Sometimes Lin Lan couldn’t help but sigh subtly, was Han Qingsong just being cold or was he actually responsible enough for her to trust?
From his attitude towards the children, it was technically not wrong of her to say that he was a cold father. He basically set the rules for the children, trained them and also beat them for mistakes. Other aspects of life like studies, mental health
and emotional communication with the children were basically non-existent.
But judging from his contribution to the family, he was extremely responsible. He worked hard to earn money and work points, helped out with the housework and tried his best to provide better living conditions for the family. He never interfered with Lin Lan’s management as the head of the family.
