Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

When Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai returned to the capital, they heard that Hu Zi and Chen Shan Shan had gone back. After counting the time, they should have just missed each other.

They had a full dinner at the dumpling shop before finding Zhou Xiao Mei to go for a wash.

Zhou Qing Bai and Su Da Lin were together.

"It's really tiring to rush through this trip," Lin Qing He said.

"Mother had asked why you didn't bring Da Wa and the boys back together." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Normally, they should bring them back. But Lin Qing He had no such plans. It was enough for her and Zhou Qing Bai to go back.

Seeing that her fourth sister-in-law didn't want to continue on this matter, Zhou Xiao Mei changed the subject: "How's Eldest Brother and the others?"

"Pretty good. They won't do badly in the future," Lin Qing He replied.

"How's Second Brother's family?" Zhou Xiao Mei continued.

Lin Qing He smiled: "They plan to build a house next year. Xia Xia is dating his master's daughter."

Looking at it this way, it wasn't actually bad. When compared with others in the village, it wasn't terrible. It was just the few brothers from Zhou Family had all developed well. So compared with his own brothers, it really didn't seem to be much improvement. Still, overall it wasn't bad.

"Don't know where that Liu Ni girl got her hand on the phone from and called here. When you went back, did she find you?" Zhou Xiao Mei mentioned.

"She doesn't dare." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Liu Ni didn't look for her. Neither did she looked for Zhou Qing Bai. During this trip back, they didn't even see Zhou Liu Ni. However, they find out which family Zhou Liu Ni married into. It was truly the pot matching its right and people of same path become family.

"What did she say when she called?" Lin Qing He asked.

"The usual. It seems that she want San Ni to call her over." Zhou Xiao Mei told.

Lin Qing He sneered: "San Ni had enough of her."Back then, she dumped all the work to San Ni and bullied with her sharp mouth. And Second Sister-in-law felt that this girl was promising.

"I had gave her an answer. Told her stay in the village. Don't come up with idea toward here." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Lin Qing He didn't talk about Zhou Liu Ni. It was a foregone conclusion now. Staying in the village. She sighed, "The home in the capital is more comfortable."

After the ride back and taking a wash, it felt completely refreshing.

After coming out of the bathhouse, they went back first. Zhou Qing Bai and Su Da Lin might scrub a little longer.

They came over to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side to wait.

Mother Zhou spoked: "This time, you should have taken the boys with you."

"I didn't consider it properly. Let's talk about it next time." Lin Qing He said.

Mother Zhou didn't continue and said, "Shan Shan went back with Hu Zi. I wonder if she will look down on the family's poverty."

"It's Chen Family who fancy this match. Not old Huang Family. They set their eye on young man like Hu Zi. It doesn't matter if he is poor. Hu Zi wants to transfer his household registration next year. In future, he won't go back more than a few times in a whole year." Lin Qing He assured.

Mother Zhou said: "Once the household registration is transferred over, Hu Zi will have to save money to buy a house." In the eyes of the elderly, buying a house was the most realistic move. What does renting look like?

"En. Hu Zi saved a lot of money and it's all with me. As long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to buy one then," Lin Qing He told.

When Hu Zi has the money to buy a home, the commercial properties will probably be out on the market. So he can buy them straight away.

"You can't let him do worse than Qiang Zi and be looked down on." Mother Zhou reminded.

Zhou Xiao Mei spoke: "They're all your grandson, Mother. How can you be biased."

"I don't have that kind of grandson. To even marry that kind of wife. Where did he lose his face to? He treated her as a treasure!" Mother Zhou scolded.

She was a traditional-minded woman. In the past, Xu Sheng Mei's unmarried pregnancy was a big shock to her and made rest on the bed.

Now that she heard about Xu Sheng Qiang's matter, how could Mother Zhou be happy?

Lin Qing He was stunned when she heard it. When did Mother Zhou find out about this? She looked at Zhou Xiao Mei.

Zhou Xiao Mei spoke: "Fourth Sister-in-law, come in with me and get some white fungus soup to drink."

Lin Qing He entered the kitchen with her and whispered: "What's the situation? Why does Mother know about this?"

They kept it a secret because they were worried that she couldn't bear it.

"Can't hide it. Mother thought he was good. She always asked how he was doing now, so I talked about his marriage. I didn't tell her about what Sheng Mei did." Zhou Xiao Mei explained.

She just said Xu Sheng Qiang married a capital girl who had a bad reputation and got a messy relationship history.

Couldn't be persuaded no matter how they tried. So his relationship with this side flipped. He probably won't come over in the future.

Mother Zhou was very angry when she heard it. Although she was angry, it was still within her acceptance range. She didn't collapse from it.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything anymore. Since she knew, then she knew. As long as she kept a note in her mind, it was enough.

Not long after, Zhou Qing Bai and Su Da Lin returned.

"Da Lin has made a lot of steamed buns. You have to take some back later. Just steam them when you want to eat them," Mother Zhou said.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

"How's your eldest brother and the others doing?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Pretty well. Second Brother will build a house next year." Zhou Qing Bai told.

"Your second brother is going to build a house?" Mother Zhou was delighted with this news: "Then all you brothers have new houses. If this is in the village, many people will envy it."

"You aren't in the village and others still envious." Father Zhou said.

Mother Zhou's smile deepened when she heard this: "It's nothing. The children put efforts on their own. Neither of us can help."

"The salted duck eggs that Eldest Sister-in-law gifted are very tasty. Father, Mother, you guys eat more." Lin Qing He said. Then she took out four red packets and handed them to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou.

"Where did the red envelope come from?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law gave them. Each one was twenty yuan." Lin Qing He replied.

Twenty for Father Zhou and twenty for Mother Zhou. Third Sister-in-law followed. Lin Qing He didn't say anything. It was Third Sister-in-law who asked about it. So she told her that Eldest Sister-in-law asked her help to bring over the red envelopes.

"They both are thoughtful." Mother Zhou happily uttered.

"This is mine and Qing Bai's share." Lin Qing He took out two more. Each elderly got one.

"Aunt, we also want red envelopes." Su Ya and Su Tian both showed their puppy eyes.

"Tomorrow on New Year's Eve, your cousin will come over and gift you big red envelopes." Lin Qing He grinned.

"Really?" Su Ya said.

"Of course." Lin Qing He nodded.

The two sisters were overjoyed: "Then we wait for cousin's big red envelope."

"Little imps. you know to ask for red envelopes." Zhou Xiao Mei amusedly scolded. She glanced at Su Da Lin: "Your good daughters."

Su Da Lin just chuckled.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were amused. No one minded about Second Sister-in-law's lack of thoughtfulness in this regard.

If there was, just accept it. If not, no need to specially criticize her. The current life was getting better and better. They really didn't care about that much anymore.
