Chapter 250. Want to spend time with wife
The next day, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai rode two bicycles to the city.
That way, Zhou Xiao Mei's bicycle was returned to her. Then Lin Qing He took Zhou Qing Bai with her to sell the goods she bought from Hai City.
Throughout the process, Zhou Qing Bai just watched his wife. His wife was obviously a veteran. He felt powerless and amused.
Three watches were sold on the black market and Lin Qing He gained 600.
One watch was originally planned to be sold for 220-230. After thinking about it, she dropped it. It was convenient to sell at 200.
Lin Qing He was in a very good mood and said to Zhou Qing Bai: "When I was strolling around Hai City in my free time, it was only one hundred and thirty per piece. Almost 70 yuan profit.
Zhou Qing Bai gave an 'En'. He knew what his wife was doing was what the modern world called 'profiteering'.
What's this was the biggest kind. It wasn't a casual messing around. But compared to the others, the box his wife had brought from the future was obviously safer.
Still, Zhou Qing Bai was unwilling to let his wife come out to do this.
"Don't go all male chauvinistic one me. I'm very happy with the way I am," Lin Qing He swept a glance over at him and said.
"I'm not." Zhou Qing Bai denied.
Only then, Lin Qing He agreed to let him follow. Initially, she hadn't let him follow when she came out to resell things, but he insisted on following. So she let him be. However, he wasn't allowed to interrupt.
Then Lin Qing He resold the remaining watch in her hand. Then it was the electric fan and radio. They came over to the supply and demand agency.
They found Shen Yu and wholesaled the goods in her hands.
Let Shen Yu sell it herself.
Shen Yu had the guts. Especially since she got two children now. Although her family was a dual-income family, who would dislike more money?
She collected these things from Lin Qing He. Afterward, she just needed to market where it came from when selling the goods. There was no problem at all.
Especially at this time, things get out of stock quite quickly.
Of course, she had to be careful. Can't be too obvious.
All in all, Lin Qing He's things were all sold out and got a sum of money in return.
While she was there, she bought some new year goods back home. She didn't plan to come again unless it was time for family day out during the New Year.
"How is the development in Hai City?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.
"Rapid development at that side. You don't know. Some things over there that don't need coupons anymore. As long as one have money, one can buy them." Lin Qing He replied.
It was now the end of '78. It can be seen that the outside world was developing rapidly. Each local area was different from another one.
"I'll find some time and go out and have a look." Zhou Qing Bai stated.
"You don't have to rush. If you have time, just come to the capital and see me." Lin Qing He said.
"Want me to go and visit?" Zhou Qing Bai asked with a slightly raised mouth.
Lin Qing He said: "Naturally, I want. You don't know how much I miss you. Sometimes I dream of you at night. But I also know that you are very busy. What's more, it takes so long to go back and forth. Quite time consuming."
"Tomorrow I will find a time to go over." Zhou Qing Bai said.
"Okay." Lin Qing He responded.
Zhou Qing Bai lips expressed his delight. When he went to sit with his comrade in the bureau, his comrades reminded him.
Just this year, there had been many incidents of educated youth going to college and turning their backs.
Although sister-in-law's roots was in the village, he should still pay attention. The college students outside also got some tricks up their sleeve.
However, Zhou Qing Bai believed in his wife from beginning to end.
For example, right now. She wouldn't disdain him because he was countryman and would shame her if he went to her university.
On the contrary, she obviously wanted him to see her.
How can this not make Zhou Qing Bai feel good?
Lin Qing He told Zhou Qing Bai about some things in the capital. Although she was in college, Lin Qing He knew exactly what happened in the capital. She subscribed to newspapers after all.
Zhou Qing Bai listened. The road wasn't short, but they felt that the road wasn't far at all when they were together.
"The relationship between Teacher Lin and Zhou Qing Bai is great," said a village woman.
"Ms. Lin is an excellent character," another woman also remarked.
"Who would deny that? Have you heard that three college students from our community have passed the entrance exam this year. Each and every one didn't come back at all this year. Completely abandoning their family's partner and children." A third also commented.
"I heard. Really. I think a divorce is ging to happen in all likelihood."
"Oh, what a sin."
"..."
The village had nothing bad to say about Lin Qing He, especially when compared with other educated youths who turn their faces away and deny knowing others.
Although they had a hard time in the countryside, they should be responsible for their family once they married right?
Getting admitted to university was the same as putting on wings. Once taken flight and won't look back. What kind of behavior was this?
Take a look at Teacher Lin. She came back for summer vacation and brought her son back during winter vacation. She was physically gone but her heart was still at home.
To marry such a wife, Zhou Qing Bai must had accumulated blessings in his previous life.
Zhou Qing Bai, who had accumulated blessings in his previous life, was counting money in his room for a while. Lin Qing He got him to count the money and folded it for storage. When she received it in the city, she only glimpsed at the amount without sorting it.
As for Lin Qing He, she started cooking.
It was steamed mantou for today. With a plate of braised pork ears, stewed pork and starch noodle and a bone radish soup, it was about sufficient.
There are a lot of people in the family, but each dish's portion was large enough for everyone.
Zhou Qing Bai had finished sorting out the money. This time they received a total of two thousand three hundred or so.
His wife said that the cost was about 1,000. So over half of it was profit.
In rural areas, if only relying on the little things in the ground, it was a maximum offew dozen at the end of the year. It can be imagined what a hefty amount this one thousand yuan was.
Zhou Qing Bai knew that his wife still had a lot of money.
Lin Qing He saw that he took the money out to hand to her and just accepted it. She directly placed it in the space and asked Zhou Qing Bai: "How much of the money I gave you last time is spent?"
"Nowhere to spend the money." Zhou Qing Bai washed his hands under her order and answered.
There was really no place to spend money, except for tuition fees for the children, school supplies, milk, and other things. Really none.
"I'm not at home, and you don't know to buy some good food." Lin Qing He nagged.
Zhou Qing Bai did not speak.
Lin Qing He leaned over and whispered, "Come to the capital to see me. I'll borrow the school cafeteria and make some good nourishment for you."
"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai answered with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Qing He was satisfied and then continued to busy away. Zhou Qing Bai stuck there and assisted her. Truthfully, there wasn't much he can help out.
He simply didn't want to leave. He just wanted to spend time with his wife.

ReplyDeleteThat was sweet! Thanks for the chap! 😊
ReplyDeleteTy
ReplyDeleteGetting too much sugar rush on this chapter. Their love is like a sweet tea. Warm and sweet.
Thank you for the chapter <3
ReplyDelete*sigh* i want this i want this
ReplyDeleteZQB is such a cutie ��
ReplyDeleteAayahh.. I'm forced to eat dog food. I love their interactions. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not complaining about the dogfood at all! This is exactly what I came here for! Their love is the kind that is not showy or explosive but steady and supportive of each other, through thick and thin. The kind of love that would last.
ReplyDeleteEven reading this makes me feel warm inside.
How i wish to also have a Zhou Qing Bai in my life��
ReplyDeleteHe is such a darling! Thanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeletefamily's men/women and children -> spouse is neutral word that would fit here. Tho it doesn't need to be changed, really
As for Lin Qinghe, she started cooking. -> Qing He
Thanks Dorai_O! Corrected!
DeleteLQH is the best 👍
ReplyDeleteGod the male lead is so useless, and again with his bullshit if not wanting her to make money ...... Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou hate mc,ml,their children, the plot but you are still reading it, I have to say you have great mental strength( or whatever ) to be able read till now even though you hate it
Deleteyou know, sometimes it's not abou money tho. he's worry his wife would got into trouble and that's pretty fine because he loves her and know the consequences profeeting illegal things, not to mention he served country for so many years and give all his allowance to her. she know his worries and appreciate it. between couple, responsibility and respect is a must to have a good relationship in a long journey.
DeleteYou know who's useless? You... Sigh.
DeleteWhy are you still alive? Sigh...
DeleteWhat’s the point of hate reading a novel and that too incorrectly, the stuff you say it utter nonsense.
DeleteThe point is, LQH LOVES her man to be this way. Some chapters ago, when she planned to collect gold in the city, she went as far as said: He didn't need to know about it (she's doing gold collecting). He just need to follow her and enjoy the blessings. How fortunate he's to have a smart wife such as her.
DeleteHonestly, "making money" by trading ang collecting gold, silver, calligraphy and painting were considered as heavy crime in that period of time in PRC. It's illegal, and people thought it challenged the country's ideologies. By doing what she did, she risked her whole family and Old Zhou family to get arrested by the Red Army and they might get heavier punishment than those adulterers.
I believe LQH is smart enough to not challenge the impossible and risking herself and her family's safety and life for any amount of money. She might still engage in the illegal activity to make money. But, she wouldn't be as bold and unrestrained if she didn't have the secret space. I understand how it's frustrating that the ML didn't seem to have that much trust on her on this matter. But, in actuality, he wouldn't let her to continue her business if he didn't have that trust in her.
What you called as "bullshit" was an ideology of a country (at a time). Many countries in the world adopted democratic, liberalism, and capitalism which I believe as the ideologies you're more familiar with. But, those are not the only choice and adopted ideologies in the world.
The founding fathers of each country, "decided" what ideology their country would adopt based on the morals value, their own country history, cultures, local wisdoms and values and their people's beliefs (outlook/principles). The people of the country can change their beliefs and values--over time and over generations--and it most probably lead to civil unrest (or even war) if they try to change their country's ideology. But, outsider (the people who's not part of the country) has little to no say about which ideology a country chose as theirs. It's their "private" business and the other should respect their "privacy".
Bruhhh
ReplyDeleteI really like this couple. I want someone like zou qing bai.🥺
ReplyDeleteYou know I think i have to stop reading the comments when it's focusing on the ml because a certain boas would ruin the sweet mood instantly
ReplyDeleteAww so sweet
