BTTS 194




Chapter 194. Future housing price


Soon it was already June.

Zhou Qing Bai bought fertilizer from outside. Along with that, he brought back a basket of cherries.

Lin Qing He was surprised: "We don't have cherries here."

"From other places." Zhou Qing Bai said.

The cherries were quite sweet. Without any reservation, she washed a bowl of it to eat.

"Thanks for your hard work today." Lin Qing He beckoned him to eat together as she said.

Zhou Qing Bai replied, "Wasn't tiring."
He pulled a ring out of his pocket.

A jade ring, not a gold ring.

Lin Qing He's eyes shone brightly. At this time, nine out of ten times, these things were real.

"Where did it come from?" Lin Qing He looked at him.

"I picked it up on the road." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

The corner of Lin Qing He's mouth twitched. Must admit, nobody wanted the gold, jade, and the likes outside when they were tossed out on the street at this period.

Even if they were valuable, it goes without saying that no one dares to take it out. They were all things from the past. Currently, the restriction was still very high outside. Even if they owned one, who would dare to take it out?

Speaking of this, Lin Qing He had obtained a little bit from the black market in the city. She didn't dare to make any big movements. Just gather a few gold necklaces. It was estimated that it will cost tens of thousands in later generations. It wasn't those small necklaces. It all got some weight to it.

"Will be very valuable in the future?" Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and said.

"It's very valuable. But in the future, the most valuable is the house. When we go to the capital in the future to buy one or two courtyards, we'll have no worry in this life." Lin Qing He uttered as she daydreamed about getting rich.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled: "This life is still long."

Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows: "What? Don't you believe it? Do you know how much money it's worth in future generations?"

"Tell me." Zhou Qing Bai wanted to know how the country will develop in the future.

Lin Qing He explained: "A random set of houses with over a hundred square meters in a slightly better city, cost basically a minimum of one million. Even if it's in the ordinary county city, it is estimated to be several hundred thousand. The house price in the capital is said to be 100,000 yuan per square meter."

Zhou Qing Bai knew the future will be much better, but still, he was dumbfounded by this.

Such an expression was rarely seen on his face. This goes to show how shocked he was by the housing prices of later generations.

"Although housing is tight now, the housing prices aren't bad." Zhou Qing Bai said.

"Isn't there a distribution now? As long as one isn't in a hurry, they'll be allocated one. Then naturally, the house price isn't worth much. The concept of later generations is different from now. Everyone wants to have a set, so it went up." Lin Qing He explained.

Houses weren't as valuable as electrical appliances.

How much does an electrical appliance cost now?

For example, televisions, telephones, etc. are very common in later generations, but the current prices of them were over hundreds.

She used to hear her colleagues complain that her dad had gone south to the seaside a long time ago and bought a stereo for more than 10,000. If that 10,000 was used to buy a store in a first-tier city, it would be really worth it. How many years less would one have to struggle?

Zhou Qing Bai frowned and said, "We have three sons."

"Yeah. Only families with mines would dare to birth so many in the future." Lin Qing He sighed. Which family didn't have many children during this time of population boom?

"Then the last time you went to the capital was for?" Zhou Qing Bai looked at his wife.

"You come in." Lin Qing He took him back to the room.

Then she took out the gold bars, gold bracelets, jade hairpins and antique vases from the capital.

These things were worth a lot of money in the future/ Also, the stamps she collected were very valuable.

However, Zhou Qing Bai had no hint of happiness. He stared at these things with a pinched frown. His gaze fell on Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He later realized that she was too prideful.

It can't be helped. She got a space as a cheat. She had taken advantage of this time to gather so many things but be unable to share the delight with anyone. She held back with much difficulty. So she pridefully displayed it to him when he brought it up.

She went way over her head.

"I promise you that I will never take any risks in the future. We will not go to that side of the capital in the future. I had forgotten what she looks like. She probably also forgot about me." Lin Qing He tactfully vowed.

Only then Zhou Qing Bai didn't keep on going and uttered: "It's valuable in the future. At the moment you can't touch it. What's more, with these, it's enough."

He maintained his gaze on her as he stated.

Lin Qing He immediately nodded obediently: "I'll listen to you!"
With this, Zhou Qing Bai patted her bottom. Lin Qing He blushed and said, "Rogue."

With mirth between his eyebrows, Zhou Qing Bai said in a hushed voice, "Is it gone?"

Lin Qing He flushed in embarrassment but still nodded.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded and went to chop the firewood. He can have meat tonight.

Lin Qing He sent him to feed the pigs after he chopped the firewood. She was sewing the soles of the shoes. She didn't have classes this afternoon, so she didn't need to go to school. It was quite idle.

Soon, Zhou Qing Bai made the pig food and went to feed the pigs. Lin Qing He put the soles of the shoes aside, began to clean the pot, and slaughtered the nurtured eel.

This rice field eel weighed about 250-300g. The weight of the eel in July and August was about 350-400g.

Even so, this rice eel was quite plump.

Lin Qing He picked up the knife and killed seven. Then she pulled out another pickled veg. Eel stewed with pickled veg was another delectable dish.

There was also a cowpea, a cabbage, and an egg tomato soup. Served with mantou and dinner menu was completed.

In fact, the nutritional content wasn't bad at all, even if the oil content were a bit lacking.

What's more, there was a pressure of raising three sons. It started to become apparent when Da Wa turned ten years old.

This kid had a large appetite now. His father can eat five mantou in a meal, while he can eat four. And there was no shortage of soup either.

Half of this kind of mantou was enough for Lin Qing He.

Even Er Wa ate more than her now. Er Wa ate two and a half.

Lin Qing He's intake was similar to San Wa. This was under the circumstance that San Wa had a lot of eels. If not, he might be able to eat two. She was tearful when it came to this.

It was necessary for her to smuggle pork and grain as well as requiring her to receive a stable income and Zhou Qing Bai's ten work points. On top of that, the kids can also help out and they got pigs. If it weren't for these, it won't be easy......

It was no wonder that Mother Zhou urged her to live a little more prudently in the past. Now she thought about it, it made sense. After all, she(Mother Zhou) had raised four sons...

Lin Qing He taught until the end of June. Then school started half-day class because the summer harvest was about to begin.

The sky was beautiful these days.

There was still some rain in the middle of June. By the end of this month, the sky was unlimitedly clear when the summer harvest was about to begin. The elderly people in the village said it was God rewarding them their meal.

At the end of the month, the horn of the summer harvest sounded.

  3. What the actual fuck ? Just because this peasant with love to the glorious leaders tells her to she'll stop gathering what's considered garbage now that will make her millions in the future ? When there's a 0% chance it can be discovered ?

    What the fuck bro ...... I thought this mc was a Willy and cunning lady ready to lead a good life .... Now she's happy making food all day and patching and making clothes, eating garbage and just toiling away just cuz he fucks her every night?

    I'm so disappointed how her character has turned out, it's embarrassing really I thought she was good before.

    1. Yes and no. yes she should collect more but no because it might be trace back to her and this is when they want to destroy the last dynasty and bring a new era so yeah having those things that only the nobles have are considered to be trying to cling to the old era

    4. ML is indoctrinated by the times, just like people are today (eg the recent Supreme Court ruling on abortion). Plus, modern education means we are far more mentally flexible than people were back then, even in the US (Why our IQ levels are higher than our grandparents‘ TED2013).

    5. Don’t forget, they are right smack dab in the middle of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) which as a bloody and brutal time for ‘feudalists’, much like witch hunts in medieval Europe or the Red Scare during the US Cold War

  4. I can’t believe it’s already summer harvest wasn’t it just New Years? I thought the story was really slow before but now it’s going pretty fast(idk if it’s actually picking up pace or I’m just enjoying it more)

  5. I’m glad the author has started to let the ML work with the MC to exploit her cheats. Even though he’s still deathly afraid of the Communist army.
