One side is reverse thread and the other is standard thread. This means that on both sides they both go the same way when you are looking at them.

Push the side of the star wheel you see through the adjuster hole up to expand the shoes, and use a skinny screwdriver to lift the pawl and push the star wheel down to shrink the shoes. You should probably take the drums off and inspect the brakes before adjusting them though, make sure everything is in order, the adjusters are not seized, and the shoes are not worn out.
