BTTS 271




Chapter 271. A blessed life is behind


Er Wa's result had yet to arrive. But a heavy rain did come knocking.

After seven days of heavy rain, it stopped. Er Wa's results also came out.

The county's first place. Math scores and English scores had pulled him further ahead from the county's second place. A difference of 50 points.

Both the county's high school's community and their community's junior high school awarded a scholarship.

Lin Qing He confiscated half of this scholarship. She left the remaining half for Er Wa to manage by himself.

San Wa was so excited: "Er Wa, you can buy me a football!"

The old football was worn out to a bad state and couldn't be played anymore. He desperately wanted a new football, so he was saving money to buy it.

He had pocket money. For example, before his mother went to college, she gave him three yuan pocket money. He saved it all.

Sometimes when he went to pick up some rags and exchange it for a bit. The toothpaste tube can also be exchanged for money. Still, he hadn't accumulated much.

"No money. I want to buy study materials. I also want to buy a basketball over there." Er Wa responded.

"You have so much here. I don't want a lot. Just sponsor me ten yuans!" San Wa stuck on him.

In the end, Er Wa reluctantly gave him five yuan. San Wa took what he saved and went to find his mother.

Lin Qing He accepted the money, and agreed, "I will buy it for you next time."

San Wa was satisfied.

Although Lin Qing He wasn't stern with her son on money matters, she wasn't very generous either. In many cases, they were asked to use their own brains to find ways to make money.

As long as they didn't use crooked routes, she generally didn't intervene.

For boys, they have to be roughly raised.

In the eyes of the people in the village, she was simply spoiling the children.

As soon as this day flipped over, Er Wa began his class in advance.

The high school was now paying close attention. It was only August 15th when Er Wa had to attend school.

Lin Qing He brought him over to stay at Zhou Xiao Mei's place. On the way, she got him a change of clothes and toiletries

"Next year, Mother will bring you an electric fan back." Lin Qing He said.

"No need. Bear a bit and it'll be over. It's just two years. There is no need to spend that money." Er Wa didn't mind.

Of the three sons, this kid looked the most like her and was also the most clever one.

Lin Qing He smiled. She didn't bicker with him about this. After coming to Zhou Xiao Mei's place to drop the things, she took Er Wa out for a stroll.

Er Wa was no stranger to the county city. Although he didn't come very often, he did visit his eldest brother when he was studying here.

Zhou Xiao Mei's house wasn't very far from here. It will take about 15 minutes to walk, so she let Er Wa walk.

This time she ate at Zhou Xiao Mei's place. Su Da Lin's cooking was delicious. Da Wa used to praise it all the time. The living expenses given were sufficient.

"Aunt, Er Wa!" The mother and son were strolling around when a surprised shout came from behind them.

Lin Qing He and Er Wa turned around and saw an acquaintance.

Well, wasn't this Han Xu Jie?

It can be regarded that Lin Qing He had completely let go of her vigilance against Han Xu Jie. After all, her eldest son was in university and will join the army in the future. So he will not take the same path as his previous life.

No worries at all.

"Xu Jie." Lin Qing He was delighted to see the male lead, Han Xu Jie.

"Brother Xu Jie." Er Wa also cried out.


"Aunt, Er Wa, how come you're here?" Han Xu Jie walked up and said with a smile.

"Tomorrow he will start school. So we come over to get familiar first?" Lin Qing He responded with a smile.

"I haven't thought about that. This year, Er Wa is going to be in the first year of high school." Han Xu Jie realized right then.

"You're free to come back this year?" Lin Qing He said.

"I come back every year. Did Zhou Kai come back this year?" Han Xu Jie asked.

Lin Qing He said, "He didn't come back. He's exploring the capital. He did mention to me about wanting to find you in Shenyang."

As the male lead, he was a proper top student. He was directly admitted to the best police academy in Shenyang. Still, it was obvious that Han Xu Jie was family-oriented.

In the future, he will also come back to his hometown.

On the normal course of action, he'll graduate in 1981 and earn a lot of credit during the crackdown in 1983. After that, he'll advance and become a figure in the municipal city.

Though it was just a municipal city, the level still wasn't low at all. What's more, it was an achievement he achieved when he was thirty years old. After thirty years old, he became even more prosperous and became a provincial level figure.

Lin Qing He looked at the young man in front of her. She was overwhelmed with emotion and said, "Zhou Kai will join the army in the future. While you are in this profession too. You two are really good brothers."

The male lead was righteous. They can interact with more. A 1.8m fellow was just as excellent as her eldest son.

However, Lin Qing He was afraid of the heroine, who hadn't appeared yet.

Like particularly scared because she was the femme fatale who was swaying between her third boy and the male lead. So she didn't want to have too close contacts.

It'll be great if there was incense left to pray with.

Han Xu Jie laughed and said, "When he comes out of the army, I will compare notes with him."

Because there was still something to do, they chatted a little longer and then he went back.

Lin Qing He let him be. After taking Er Wa around the school and surrounding places, she came to the mall to buy a football for San Wa.

In addition to that, she bought two packs of candy and gave one pack to Er Wa. She told him to take it back to share with his little cousins. She left the other pack for San Wa.

"Study hard every day to climb up. Mother will go back now." Lin Qing He waved and said.

"Mother, mind your steps." Er Wa waved back and then went back into his aunt's house.


Lin Qing He came home, gave the football to San Wa, and said: "I'll leave the candy at home. Just get it yourself."

"I know." San Wa answered. He was already running out with the football.

Mother Zhou said: "Now that he has this ball, I'm afraid he won't be home all day long."

"They're like that once they grow up. We as mothers, just need to raise them. We don't need to worry for a lifetime. Let them walk the rest of the road by themselves. When they need us, they will naturally come to us for ideas." Lin Qing He responded.

Although she was sentimental about the few troublesome turnip heads had become so big in a blink of an eye, it was life.

Sometimes, when being emotional, she recalled the beautiful moments.

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Your father and I used to worry a lot."

"Worried that I'll go through all the money? And that the few boys won't be able to marry a wife in the future?" Lin Qing He asked.

"That's right. I was worried about this at that time. Both your father and I were thinking of making more money to save while we are mobile." Mother Zhou grinned.

"Back then, I estimated that the college entrance examination would be resumed. However, I was worried that no one would believe it, so I didn't say anything." Lin Qing He explained.

"With the situation back then, no one would believe it." Mother Zhou agreed.

"In the future, the development will get better and better. It won't be the same as before. Mother, you and Father must take good care of your health. You'll enjoy a blessed life later." Lin Qing He said.

  3. Ah San Wa worries me too much. Da Wa has a steady head and good path ahead of him, I don't see him straying off course. Er Wa is much like his mom, that's a good egg a smartie. But San Wa, that child he's too much, not exactly a player but I feel like he'd still end up on a similar path as the OG him. Ah I wonder when the baby will come.

  4. Thanks a lot! Lin Qing He will make sure that Mama and Papa Zhou will enjoy their retirement.

    So we come over to get familiar first?" Lin Qing He responded with a smile. -> it doesn't need the '?' At the end

    We as mothers, just need to raise them. -> add comma after 'we'
