BTTS 147




Chapter 147. I might even pass too


Only once a year, their parents will bring them, three brothers, to have fun in the city.

Taking family pictures, watch movies, dine out, and eat snacks.

They can have fun for the whole day.

Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa were all very ecstatic and not tired at all.

Taking family pictures was an old norm and there were many pictures in the family now, all of which were collected by Lin Qing He.

The boys would request them from her to see sometimes.

The family played for a day. When they return, Da Wa and Er Wa were okay. Only San Wa fell asleep directly in his father's arms.

On the ride back, Da Wa sat behind Lin Qing He and San Wa was in Lin Qing He's arms.

As for Er Wa, he went on to the bike handle in front.

When they reached home, the kid, San Wa became energetic.

Because Lin Qing He was tired after playing for a day today, they casually ate something in the evening and the family went to bed early after washing up.

"Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law have a sense of tradition." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked emotionally.

"Let's... also... do it this year?" Su Da Lin asked.

"Then let's go tomorrow?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"Ok." Su Da Lin grinned.

The couple took their son to the city the next day. Must say, a family outing was quite enjoyable.

Initially Lin Qing He didn't know until Mother Zhou mentioned it.

"Father, Mother, when are you going to take a picture?" Lin Qing He asked casually while eating.

"Your father and I are both at this age, no need to take pictures." Although Mother Zhou was moved, she still wanted to save money and shook her head.

"It doesn't cost much to take two pictures." Lin Qing He said.

"Still not necessary." Mother Zhou maintained.

Lin Qinghe didn't say anything, but said to Zhou Qing Bai in private: "I think Dad really wants to take pictures."

On the 30th (of Dec) Da Wa asked the photos from her. Father Zhou couldn't put it down after seeing it. He was a little moved when she mentioned it just now.

Not to mention being told by Mother Zhou, he had no response.

"Then I will take Father to the photographer when I have time?" Zhou Qing Bai answered after hearing this.

"If you want to bring, just bring them together with you. Let's talk about it when there is a tractor passing by." Lin Qinghe said.

The elderly wanted to take a picture, it wasn't a big problem.

But it had to be pointed out that taking pictures at this time was indeed very luxurious.

Most people won't spend the money on this, and their lifestyle was very pleasantly surprised.

The calendar soon arrived on the seventh day of New Year and tomorrow, on the eighth, Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei will go back to work. They both started quite early.

So they went back today.

Little Su Cheng got acquainted with his parents, knowing that they were going to leave, he was so reluctant. He held onto Su Da Lin and refused to let him go. This had Su Da Lin feeling touched. The grown man's eyes were red.

But in the end, they still had to leave.

Little Su Cheng had been melancholy for two or three days in a row but was much better after the third day.

This was how children were, passionate and heartless.

The old Zhou family was very lively with so many children. What's more, Er Wa and San Wa often went over to play with him.

However, it was still very cold in January. Especially this year, when the snow was quite heavy in January.

"This year is also going to be a good harvest." Lin Qing He said when she saw the snow in the yard when she got up early in the morning.

Timely fall of snow signaled a prosperous year. With such a heavy snowfall, the harvest will certainly be great.

Zhou Qing Bai said, "I will go to the mountain to have a look today."

"Go then." Lin Qing He had no objection. During this winter, he had nothing to do but think about messing with her. It was good to go out and release some energy.

Knowing that their father was going to hunt rabbits in the mountains, the boys wanted to follow. Lin Qing He let them be. Once they were dressed warmly, she gave two candies to each person and sent them all away.

Lin Qing He had nothing to do, so she started studying and reciting.

When Mother Zhou brought little Su Cheng over, only Lin Qing He and Fei Ying were left at home.

Fei Ying didn't respond when he saw Mother Zhou carrying little Su Cheng over. But if he saw others at the entrance, Fei Ying would immediately bark.

Fei Ying was very sensible. No wonder he's a retired dog from the force.

"Where's Qing Bai and the boys?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Entered the mountain to hunt rabbits and pheasants." Lin Qing He replied.

When Mother Zhou saw that she was reading, she was shocked: "Da Wa's mother, what are you doing?"

"Studying." Lin Qing He said without raising her head, marked a few key points for himself, and then started to recite the text after memorizing it.

This was the first time Mother Zhou witnessed her studying and reciting. She was stunned and said, "Are you reciting?"

"En." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Wait, why are you reciting?" Mother Zhou said.

"Da Wa is in fourth grade in the next semester this year. If I don't recite, how can I teach him?" Lin Qing He responded.

Da Wa skipped a year, so his progress was relatively fast. In the beginning of the spring last year, he went to third grade, and in the second semester, he was in fourth grade.

This year was the next semester of fourth grade.

Er Wa was going to study this year. He was six years old and can enter first grade.

Besides, Er Wa had almost learned all of the first grade stuff.

Not just him, San Wa was subtly influenced and can read a bit.

"You can still teach Da Wa?" Mother Zhou was surprised by Lin Qing He's words.

Lin Qing He chuckled: "Mother, don't look at me. I haven't formally studied much, but I have talent in this area. Even Da Wa's father bows down. Da Wa said the question I give to him was superior to those given by his teacher."

It's just that she didn't let Da Wa mention it at school.

She just let him do it at home. For other things, it was better to have less matter than more. It can't be helped now that the situation was so tense now.

Mother Zhou had a slight realization. It was like she said, old Zhou family had never produced a studious seedling. Why was Da Wa so good at studying? Turned out, it was passed from his mother.

But old Lin's side was similar to old Zhou's side. The ancestors were all bumpkins.

"Da Wa's mother, I heard that Da Wa's grandfather say that Da Wa would take the exam for Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University?" Mother Zhou asked in a lowered voice.

"Da Wa certainly have those thoughts." Lin Qing He nodded.

It’s just that when Da Wa grows up, he doesn’t need to enter the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University. He can just simply head for university.

As long as the grades are good, all schools across the country will be for him to choose.

"Then Da Wa's mother, do you think that Da Wa can pass the exam?" Mother Zhou asked.

"He's still young. Let's talk about it when he's older. But if he can keep this pace, he certainly have the chance to." Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows as she answered.

She had to give the elderly a little hope, right?

The college students in this era were almost as precious as pandas. Bringing glory to one's ancestors wasn't a lie.
Sure enough, Mother Zhou was very elated to hear this, and exclaimed, "Boil a few eggs for Da Wa. Studying takes a lot of brainpower."

"I don't get any?" Lin Qing He said.

"Everyone eats." Mother Zhou heartily responded.

Lin Qing He chuckled and then continued to memorize her own text. First, she gave Mother Zhou some vaccination (a head-up), and said, "Maybe, I will be able to pass the exam in the future too."

  5. "This was how children were, passionate and heartless."

    ������ This is hilarious but too true.

    I like that she's starting to show her true colours to her mother-in-law too. Gotta get them used to the sort of person that she really is as opposed to the old Lin Qing He.
