Chapter 306. Grown crooked

At that time, she and her Qing Bai will be traveling.

Let the boys sleep in Er Wa's room and the girls can go to sleep in their rooms. Specifically, it depends on the children's arrangements.

When Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law heard her say this, they knew that she really didn't mind that the child going over and causing some inconvenience.

With a smiling expression, she said, "Then let them go over and gain knowledge."

Zhou Liu winked at her mother hard.

Then Second Sister-in-law spoke: "Her fourth aunt, is there a shortage of people in Fourth Brother's dumpling shop?"

"No shortage. Next year I plan to let Er Ni come to help." Lin Qing He said outright. She smiled at Eldest Sister-in-law: "Last time Yang Yang and Wu Ni went to do homework, I brought it up to Mother about this. Only then, I knew Eldest Sister-in-law is looking for a match for Er Ni."

"Fourth Aunt, I'm still young. I don't want to marry so early." Zhou Er Ni hurriedly interjected.

Her brother did come back and mention it. Zhou Er Ni expressed to her mother that she wanted to go to the capital to help her fourth uncle and fourth aunt without thinking.

She can't do anything else, but she will definitely work hard when she goes there.

What's more, she was familiar with her fourth uncle and fourth aunt. As long as she works hard, they will never treat her badly. Zhou Er Ni was really very resistant to marrying so early.

However, her mother said that she wasn't young. After all, her eldest sister had married at the age of eighteen and now her child was two years old.

Zhou Er Ni was at a loss.

But before that, she could only let her mother arranged it.

But after her brother came back and talked about it. She immediately came back to life. She didn't want to marry, she wanted to go to the to help her fourth uncle and fourth aunt.

In the future, every single penny of the salary will be sent back home!

Eldest Sister-in-law also felt that it would be better to let second daughter go to the capital. What's more, it was due to her fourth uncle and her fourth aunt's care, if not, such a thing would not happen.

So Eldest Sister-in-law had no objection.

When she comes back from working in the capital, she can marry someone better, right?

"Qing He, I have no problem with Er Ni's matter. You know this girl. She's always this neat and nimble. When she's over there, you can scold her if she is disobedient. Don't hold back with her." Eldest Sister-in-law said.

"I definitely won't scold. I have been eyeing for such a daughter." Lin Qing He grinned: "But since you have no objection, I will take Er Ni over next year, Eldest Sister-in-law. I will cover food and accommodation. As for the pay, I won’t talk about it. I will give it to Er Ni every month."

"Also give salary? Letting her go gather experience is good enough," Eldest Sister-in-law quickly responded.

"There's no such logic." Lin Qing He smiled.

"Her fourth aunt, you only bring Er Ni over? Liu Ni can also go over and help," said Second Sister-in-law.

"Second sister-in-law, it’s not just me saying it. What kind of personality does Liu Ni have? Just ask her other brothers and sisters in the yard and you'll know. What kind of work did she do at home? She won't pick up a fallen broom. Everything is pushed to San Ni. You let her come to help? Isn't this a joke?" Third Sister-in-law laughed. She didn't hold back at all.

Can't be helped. Some people insisted on pretending to sleep. She didn't mind reminding them.

Second Sister-in-law halted.

"Er Ni might not be good at other things, but she is nimble at chores. If my maternal family weren't poor, I would shamelessly bring it up to Eldest Sister-in-law when I heard Eldest Sister-in-law wanted to find someone for Er Ni. But now, this is perfect. Er Ni, when you're at your fourth uncle and fourth aunt's place, you have to work hard. In the future, see if there is any suitable person at that side and find a match." Third Sister-in-law merrily stated.

"How can she find someone over there? People in the capital couldn't possibly want us country folk?" Eldest Sister-in-law smilingly shook her head.

"Why not? I think Er Ni is very good. The water and soil in the capital can nourish people. When she go there, she will definitely be a lot fairer. When the times come, I will pick two good-looking clothes for you and you will be a pretty girl. Who won't like her when seeing her?" Lin Qing He smiled.

"The family backgrounds aren't compatible." Eldest Sister-in-law shook her head.

She was very self-aware. With their family's conditions, how can she be able to get a son-in-law from the capital's side?

"If it's about compatibility, how can our family not match? Her fourth uncle got the capital's household registration. Her fourth aunt teaches foreign languages at Bei University. Her younger brother will go to the military academy next year and will join the army. If this background is not appropriate, then what is appropriate?" Lin Qing He said.

Eldest Sister-in-law maintained her smile and shook her head.

Lin Qing He looked at Zhou Er Ni: "Don't worry about your mother. Your mother's thoughts are very old-fashioned. We are women of the new era, we have to look forward."

Zhou Er Ni pursed her lips and smiled: "~~Second Sister-in-law~~ Fourth Aunt, I don't have that plans yet.

"En. Take your time. There's no rush." Lin Qing He nodded.

At the side, Zhou Liu Ni winked at her mother so much they were getting cramped. Seeing that her mother won't speak out, Zhou Liu Ni took it upon herself.

"Fourth Auntie, won't you help me out." Zhou Liu Ni aggrievedly stated.

She couldn't grasp it no matter how hard she fought. Zhou Er Ni was about to marry and she was wanted!

"How old are you? It's more important to help your mother with some housework." Lin Qing He said.

"I will do it. It's just my sister is too hardworking, so it was never my turn. Fourth Aunt, if I go to the capital, I will definitely not do worse than Sister Er Ni." Zhou Liu Ni explained.

"But we definitely don't need any more people." Lin Qing He looked at her.

Zhou Liu Ni pursed her lips and said, "Fourth Aunt, you don't like me?"

What's so pleasing about you?

Lin Qing He laughed it off: "What are you saying? Every family gets one roast duck. All of you are my nieces, how could I not like you? It's just you are still young. So, properly help your mother at home. Your parents took on a lot of lands this year."

"Second Sister-in-law, you should lecture Liu Ni." Third Sister-in-law spoke.

Second Sister-in-law glared at her second daughter and said: "What more do you have to say? The shop isn't lacking in people. It will not be too late to find you if there's vacancy in the future."

"There will be no shortage of people in the future. Liu Ni can stand under your care, Second Sister-in-law." Lin Qing He immediately stated.

She won't let Saturday Ni pass, don't even think about it.

"Fourth Aunt, I understand. You look down on our second branch." Zhou Liu Ni's eyes reddened and ran out after saying this.

"Second Sister-in-law, if you don't teach her well, I am afraid that she will discredit you in the future." Lin Qing He solemnly watched Zhou Ni's back and simply told Second Sister-in-law.

"This damn girl!" Second Sister-in-law let out a scold. She got up, and said, "I'll go back and teach her first."

Then she went back first.

Lin Qing He didn't even bat her eyelids.

"Don't worry about her." Third Sister-in-law spoke.

"This Liu Ni girl had grown crooked. Even if Er Ni doesn't go, I would stop her if she is allowed to go." Eldest Sister-in-law told the truth.

Chapter 205. Can't stuff your mouth

Lin Qing He was clueless about this sister-in-law's plan.

Today a lot of meat buns were made. Cabbage & pork buns, pickled veg & pork buns, and BBQ pork buns.

Lin Qing He told Mother Zhou about the bun matter.

"Qingbai and I have eaten the steamed buns made by youngest brother-in-law. The taste is exceptional. I was thinking, if they are willing, they can open a steamed bun shop over there." Lin Qing He said.

Lin Qing He had never mentioned the matter of introducing the idea of opening a bun shop to Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin to Mother Zhou.

So Mother Zhou was delighted to hear this.

Actually, she didn't have any other thoughts. Youngest son opened a dumpling shop over there. But in the end, it was a sole family. If something happened, there was no help.

Wasn't this just a single branch bearing all difficulty?

That was why she wants to introduce some of her own family to go over. Which also meant having more support on the scene (through manpower).

It never came to this old lady. If Zhou Liu Ni goes over, she can't share much burden. She might even have the ability to ruin things.

Putting aside the rest, she responded to the matter of introducing her son-in-law to go over, Mother Zhou, “Once there, will the bun business do well?

"Buns at youngest brother-in-law's level usually won't do badly. The most important factor is how he manages it in the future. Opening a shop is almost like managing the relationships. And also, have to see if one have that fortune." Lin Qing He answered.

Not all cooks can open a restaurant by themselves. This can explain everything. Doing business wasn't a matter of a single sentence.

"When they're there, children's education is a problem." Mother Zhou continued.

"As for education. I still have some prestige, so it can be arranged." Lin Qing He replied.

The children's education wasn't a problem. The question was whether Su Da Lin has the courage to give up the current high-paying job.

This still required a certain amount of courage.

Su Da Lin's salary was now more than 60. Lin Qing He was around this level. Although it will increase in the next year, after all, her qualifications were still relatively low. Those with advanced qualifications can almost earn more than 100 yuan.

But in this kind of city, the income like Su Da Lin's was indeed quite good.

So whether Su Da Lin had the courage to abandon this job and go straight to the capital to start over, it was indeed a large decision.

Although Lin Qing He knew very well that Su Da Lin would never regret going to the capital to develop if he went. Since she knew the future direction. But Su Da Lin did not.

Can't use her standards to demand people.

But if Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were to go, then she would definitely help. She'll take care of finding a shop and a place.

"Household registration is a real problem. If they live there for a long time, they can buy a house there in the future. If it's settled, it'll be easier," Lin Qing He said.

It wasn't that easy to settle the household registration at this time.

She had it easy because of Bei University's golden recruitment acceptance. The rest can only try?

Even if was Aunt Ma’s youngest son. He had to be tormented for a whole year and still hasn’t moved his household registration back.

"Can't the school help?" Mother Zhou asked.

"If they can help, I won't need Mother to bring it up? What friendship do I have with Xiao Mei." Lin Qing He laughed.

Mother Zhou was clear about it, so she said: "It's okay if they can't move their household registration temporarily. Have to go there first to see if it's suitable."

If they don't get used to it, it was fine to come back here. As least there was a way out.

Lin Qing He just smiled.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve. This year’s reunion dinner had Lin Qing He, Zhou Qing Bai, Father Zhou, and Mother Zhou.

"Da Wa and his brothers haven't come back. The house is quite deserted," remarked Mother Zhou.

"It's okay. Have you discussed this with Father? Do you want to go with us after the new year?" Lin Qing He asked.

"You father and I considered going over in summer." Mother Zhou responded unpon hearing this.

"How about during the summer vacation?" Lin Qing He glanced at Zhou Qing Bai and said, "At that time, Qing Bai and I will go around and travel. When we are finished, we will stop by at home to pick you up?"

"Where are you traveling in the summer? Is business bad then?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Reading ten thousand books isn't as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I am now an English teacher at Bei University. I have to have knowledge. Let Qing Bai will accompany me. If I go out alone, he will be worried." Lin Qing He casually answered.

"What about the dumpling shop?" Mother Zhou questioned.

"Let Er Wa and the others watch, it. Their god-grandfather is also there. So it won't be too busy." Lin Qing He said indifferently.

Next year eldest son won't have time. Wasn't there still second son and third son?

These two mischievous boys can run the place. 1.78 meter Zhou Xuan and 1.5 meter Zhou Gui Lai weren't vegetarians.

Yang Yang and Wu Ni will go over.

For adults, there was old Wang and Aunt Ma.

Also, Zhou Er Ni whom she wanted to take with her after the new year. Tonight, she will go talk with Eldest Sister-in-law. Eldest Sister-in-law had probably got it straight from Zhou Yang.

With so many people here, what can happen?

Mother Zhou assumed that Zhou Er Ni was going to watch the dumpling shop and thought since she was so big, it should be no problem. So she nodded and said nothing.

After the family ate, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came over to the old Zhou's house.

Zhou Qing Bai brought over some Mao Tai wine and chatted with his three brothers. Lin Qing He grabbed two packets of candies and gave them to her nephews and nieces to share.

Zhou Liu Ni got four pieces. She didn't forget to say, "Fourth Aunt, are there no red envelopes? This year, my uncle opened a dumpling shop and made a fortune, so you have to send us a red envelope."

"Sugar can't stuff your mouth." Third Sister-in-law reprimanded and then greeted Lin Qing He: "I've been waiting for you since I finished eating. Come over and chat with us. What good stuff have Fourth Brother eat this year? He's much fatter."

"I estimate he gained 30 jins." Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.

Simply putting Zhou Liu Ni's antic to the past.

"I don't know if Wu Ni mentioned it yet or not. I feel she and Yang Yang can’t keep up with the foundation, so let them go over to the capital when next year's summer vacation arrive. Er Wa just finished his entrance exam then. He can give them lessons." Lin Qing He said with a smile.

"Wu Ni told me when she came back. This girl is excited. But don't know if it'll be troublesome for them to go over?" Third Sister-in-law replied.

"Yang Yang was also thinking about going over. It's just if he goes over, accommodation is a problem." Eldest Sister-in-law pointed out.

"The place over there is a bit small but it's okay to camp on the floor. It's much more comfortable to sleep on a straw mat in the hall on a hot summer day." Lin Qing He responded.

They can sleep on the second floor of the dumpling shop. There were also two rooms in the apartment building.

Even if Er Ni, Wu Ni, and Yang Yang go over, it wasn't a problem.

BTTS 304

Chapter 304. Marry into the capital city

Lin Qing He won't be polite with this niece. She didn't even make a noise when she entered the door. She straightforwardly said, "Yang Yang and Wu Ni is going over to study. What are you going over for?"

"Didn't my fourth uncle open a dumpling shop? I'll help at the dumpling shop. My grandmother agreed to it." Zhou Liu Ni stated.

Lin Qing He laughed when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Liu Ni and said: "It's your fourth uncle's shop, why are you asking grandmother? Your grandmother never intervenes in my family affairs."

She wanted to use her grandmother to suppress her. Her thought wasn't pure at all.

Mother Zhou unreservedly refuted Zhou Liu Ni, "When did I agree?"

"Grandmother, didn't you say that you will talk on my behalf with Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt." Zhou Liu Ni was very thick-skinned. She unashamedly said.

"Talking on your behalf isn't agreeing. You are playing a straw man trick." Lin Qing He glanced at her and said.

"Fourth Aunt, you let them go, but you won't agree to me going. Are you look down on our family (second branch)?" Zhou Liu Ni continued.

"Go and ask your mother. See if I look down on your family." Lin Qing He didn't bother speaking with her and said: "Yang Yang and Wu Ni have to study, go home."

Lin Qing He won't easily stoop down to the below younger generation's level. However, with Zhou Liu Ni, she really had no patience.

From an early age, she acted enigmatic and sharp-tongued.

She liked to be petty and compare everything.

What else can Zhou Liu Ni do? Naturally, she can only go home.

As soon as she left, Mother Zhou spoke, "Actually, it's not a bad idea to let Liu Ni go over and help Qing Bai. It's not difficult to wash dishes or something."

Mother Zhou did want this granddaughter to go over. After all, it was her own family's.

Lin Qing He chuckled: "Come on, Mother. If you introduce another, I would think it's fine. I plan to with Eldest Sister-in-law about Er Ni and let her go over there to help me. I will pay monthly."

"You're planning to have Er Ni go over to help?" Mother Zhou immediately parroted at once.

"Can't?" Lin Qing He said.

"My mother is looking for a partner for my second sister." Zhou Yang answered.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Er Ni were both Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother's kids.

"How old is Er Ni?" Lin Qing He was shocked.

"She will be eighteen after the new year." Zhou Yang said.

In the countryside, it was indeed possible to marry at this age.

Lin Qing He spoke, "It's not like the past anymore. It's not too late to leave marriage until 22. I will go over and talk to Eldest Sister-in-law."

"Then don't want Liu Ni?" Mother Zhou asked.

Lin Qing He stated: "Mother, ask Wu Ni. See what kind of personality Liu Ni has."

Zhou Wu Ni said frankly: "Grandmother, don't casually give referrals. Liu Ni is a person who doesn't do anything. She pushes all the chores at home to San Ni. After the family finish eating, she just wipes her mouth and leaves. She never washes the dishes or mops the floor. Also, she always talks ill of others behind their back. Going over to Fourth Uncle's shop like this, it'll be lucky if she doesn't create more mess from helping out."

Mother Zhou froze for a moment: "Well, wasn't she just young and naive before?"

"Isn't she always like this? Someone who won't upright the fallen soy sauce bottle. It's better to let Sister Er Ni go over. Even Sister San Ni is better than Liu Ni." Zhou Wu Ni responded.

"That's right. What about San Ni?" Mother Zhou asked Lin Qing He.

"Mother, we aren't short on staff on my side. Just let Er Ni go is enough." Lin Qing He smilingly replied.

In fact, Er Ni had at least three years of education. Lin Qing He had seen her homework. In the past, these little girls liked to come here to do homework.

Her writing was also good. Recording accounts and calculating the bills wasn't a problem at all.

What's more, Er Ni was also smart. This kind of smartness lies in her ability to talk. She got tolerance too. If she made a mistake, Lin Qing He dared to point it out as she would not feel wronged or depressed.

This was the difference between her and Zhou San Ni and Zhou Liu Ni sisters.

Don't know how Second Sister-in-law raised Zhou San Ni to have a doormat personality. She would not say anything and hold it in her heart.

Toward this, Lin Qing He only dared to say nice encouragement when she saw it. As for criticism, she didn't dare to say it.

Zhou Liu Ni, this one was too active.

Bringing some with a stomach full of pettiness and scheme? Afraid that she won't be able to find her to bring back to Second Sister-in-law in the future.

So Second Sister-in-law's two girls, she will not take either of them.

"That's a pity. San Ni is a diligent one. You can let her go to wash dishes or something." Mother Zhou continued.

Lin Qing He continued to make buns but did not answer.

As for Zhou Liu Ni, she complained to her mother when she got home.

"Mother, does Fourth Aunt look down on our family?" Zhou Liu Ni asked as soon as she got home.

"What are you talking about?" Second Sister-in-law disgruntledly responded.

"Mother, you don't know. When I went over there, I heard Fourth Aunt talk about letting Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni go over next summer. When I heard that, I said I wanted to go too. But my fourth aunt would not agree!" Zhou Liu Ni explained.

"You got nothing to do? Why are you going to the capital for?" Second Sister-in-law responded, "Isn't there a traveling fee? I don't have the money to pay your fare."

"Mother, are you stupid?" After Zhou Liu Ni spoke, she was pinched by Second Sister-in-law.

"Just say one more word and see if I'll sort you out." Second Sister-in-law uttered.

So Zhou Liu Ni said, "Mother, Fourth Uncle's dumpling shop must have a good business. Did you see how much weight he gained this year? If I can go to his shop to help, I will find a partner in the capital in the future. Mother, do you want a son-in-law from the capital"

"You can really dream." Second Sister-in-law shot a glance at her daughter.

"Mother, I don't look bad. Hadn't Fourth Uncle recognize a godfather? When I get older, he can introduce someone?" Zhou Liu Ni pointed out.

"How can the people in the capital fancy you?" Second Sister-in-law sized up her daughter as she spoke.

"How can they not fancy me? I'll go to help at Fourth Uncle's shop. How can Fourth Uncle not pay me a salary? I can work as long as Fourth Uncle's shop is open. I can be regarded as an employee. Who can dislike me? Besides, Fourth Aunt teaches at Bei University. Maybe there will be many people who want to marry me when it spread out." Zhou Liu Ni persisted.

Have to say, Second Sister-in-law was persuaded.

This daughter had always been clever. It was a good idea to get her Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt to help out and find a marriage in the capital.

She'll also gain a relative in the capital. That was very respect-garnering.

"Mother, what do you think?" Judging by her mother's reaction, Zhou Liu Ni pressed on.

"I'll find a time to talk to your fourth aunt." Second Sister-in-law said. Then she turned to her eldest daughter: "San Ni, hurry up and make the dough. The firewood outside hasn't been chopped yet. Remember to chop it later."

"En." Zhou San Ni lowered her head and acknowledged.

Originally, she didn't have such a dull temper. In the past two or three years, Zhou San Ni became more silent.

Second Sister-in-law shook her head when she saw her eldest daughter doing this. She felt that she was really not clever. While second daughter certainly got some idea.

Chapter 303. Go to the capital during vacation

Third Sister-in-law Lin put things away.

Third Sister had really brought a lot of good stuff

"Why is there also a towel and vanishing cream?" Third Sister-in-law Lin couldn't help utter.

"My third sister grabbed it for me to use I was over at her place." Third Brother Lin said.

"Perfect timing. Your towel is badly torn up." Third Sister-in-law Lin smiled.

After the things were sorted and the candies were divided among the children, the couple went back to their bedroom.

Third Brother Lin built another brick room for the children. Now the couple had their private room.

Third Brother Lin went over what his sister had said- opening a convenience shop.

On the way back, Third Brother Lin thought for a long time. He felt that this small business was doable.

It was convenient to bring some things back from the county city to sell, right? If it was done, it was also making money.

"How much money can we make in this countryside?" said Third Sister-in-law Lin.

"Can make a few yuans a month." Third Brother Lin answered: "But if you don't want to do it, then forget it."

"Few yuans a month?" Third Sister-in-law Lin asked in surprise.

"There is." Third Brother Lin had been in business for so long, so he still had a certain understanding of the profit. He gave a lower estimation.

"Alright. I need to go to the field. I will get the girls to sell it." Third Sister-in-law Lin said.

She wasn't hat unoccupied either. After all, she still had to go to the field. Although the family contracted land wasn't much, it was six mu of land. It took a lot of effort.

Third Brother Lin nodded. He planned to try it next year.

"Did Third Sister say anything about you doing business?" Third Sister-in-law Lin hurriedly asked.

That was the important part. It can be said that at the beginning of this year, she passed on her third sister's words. When listening, she was still a little uncertain and didn't dare to let her man take this risk.

But after this whole year, Third Sister-in-law Lin got the taste of sweetness.

Just this year alone, how much money did her family save? It was about 600 yuan. It was especially during these two months of off-peak period. Every month there was an income of about 100 yuan.

How much money was this?

Third Sister-in-law Lin hoped to continue doing this. She didn't want the business to stop like this.

"My sister said there's no problem. Next year, I can bring some fruits and vegetables to sell." Third Brother Lin nodded. Then he took out two pairs of socks, and said, "Go get me a basin of water. I will wash up and try it."

Third Sister-in-law Lin smiled and went to get hot water for him to wash his feet. After washing his feet clean, he put on new socks. Third Brother Lin had a satisfied expression.

"Third Sister really dotes you." Third Sister-in-law Lin remarked.

Every year she comes back, she didn’t forget to send a roast duck here. This was only available in the capital. In addition, there were candies, red dates, and the likes. Especially the jar of malt milk essence. That was rare.

Third Brother Lin smiled: "This year, we will go over and give my sister new year greetings."

"It's a must."Third Sister-in-law Lin nodded.

At this side, Lin Qing He was still conversing with Zhou Qing Bai: "He made a lot of money this year. His lifestyle is still that prudent."

Zhou Qing Bai told the truth: "Same everywhere."

Except for his wife's, whose way of lifestyle brought over from later generations, there was really not much difference for everyone else.

It was obvious that Zhou Qing Bai liked his wife's lifestyle and attitude very much. Probably... it was nurtured by his wife.

Lin Qing He said, "This time, there's none. Next time I will bring him a jacket. How can the one on his body keep out the cold."

Although she wanted to say a few words to her sister-in-law, she decided to drop it after some pondering.

She didn't want others to interfere with her life, so her sister-in-law would not like her to tell her how to live, But if she buys it for her brother, there was nothing to complain about.

As a sister, she can't dote her brother?

As for the nephews and nieces, they were not in her consideration. One generation loved one generation. When speaking like a stranger, she only favored her brother. The others were separated from her by one layer. It was also looking at her brother’s face. she was kind to these nephews and nieces.

Zhou Qing Bai said: "Third Brother will be successful in the future."

Lin Qing He responded: "He is considered as one of the first movers in this time. I am worried that he'll be accustomed to the current path."

For example, she didn't plan to settle down with the current state. Didn't she buy another shop in the capital? She planned to open a clothing shop this year.

Specialize in selling that kind of ready-made clothes.

"Let him go to the capital?" Zhou Qing Bai said while looking at his wife.

"They won't be willing to go." Lin Qing He shook her head, "But it's not a bad choice to let them both open a shop in the county city."

"You can tell him when they come on New Year. It will be cheaper to buy a shop now." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Lin Qing He nodded.

Third Brother Lin went out to collect chickens every day. Now it was the end of the year. The business was very good. Many people were willing to change it to money. Third Brother Lin was quite sharp. After making sure there was no problem with the live chickens, he paid on the spot.

Lin Qing He and Mother Zhou were making buns. Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni came over to study.

This year, both of them had entered the first year of high school. They had passed the entrance examination. It went without saying their grades weren't as good as Zhou Kai's and his brothers. Still, it wasn't bad either.

However, the difficulty of the subjects in the first year of high school had increased. Both of them found it hard to grasp.

They came here to learn while asking questions. It wasn't a problem.

Zhou Qing Bai went to sit at the leader's house.

"Don't know if you can get into university in the future," Mother Zhou expressed.

Wu Ni and Zhou Yang immediately felt very stressed. They looked at each other and buried themselves in their questions.

"We probably won't have time to come back next summer. Do you two want to come over for vacation? Er Wa can give you supplementary lessons." Lin Qing He said.

Er Wa will be admitted to college next year. As for Er Wa, it's time to graduate. He'll have to report to the military academy early, so he almost has no summer vacation.

"We can go over?" Both Zhou Yang and Friday Ni's eyes lit up.

A place like the capital was somewhere they longed for. How can they not want to go there?

"Go ask your parents. If they don't have any objections, then there is no problem on my side. But once you're there, you have to study hard." Lin Qing He said.

It was a good idea to let these two go over and gather some experience. With a broad vision, the realm of thinking will be improved. Their eyesight will look at the long-term.

"I'll ask my mother when I go back." Wu Ni immediately replied.

"Me too." Zhou Yang hurriedly followed.

"Fourth Aunt, the two of them can go over. I want to go too." Zhou Liu Ni walked in from outside and declared.

While her mind thought that it was fortunate that she came. If biased Fourth Aunt would only take care of others and would not take care of her.

Chapter 302. Convenience shop

Then Lin Qing He heard Mother Zhou go over it once.

This year, wasn't the contract responsibility system coming into place? Everyone was doing their own part and no longer worked together.

Third Brother Lin took on a lot of lands. For a hardworking person like him, he can take on a lot. However, he just cut the amount to half.

He only took on half of the originally planned amount.

Since the land was divided and the winter wheat was planted, Third Brother Lin had devoted all his attention to this business.

In the beginning, he collected eggs to sell on behalf of others and earned a little money for the effort. After winter kicked in, he stopped collecting eggs.

Why? It snowed, so was easy to slip. If there was any loss, it will be on him.

Not taking eggs, so Third Brother Lin switched to chickens.

Carrying a scale, he rode the bicycle he bought from his sister and went around the whole countryside. His profit was extremely good.

A chicken was one yuan or so. He can make almost two dimes profit if he gets it to the city.

And because of this, Third Brother Lin was motivated.

At the end of the day, he can collect about ten chickens at most. The minimum was five or six chickens. When these were sent to the city, money will be earned.

It wasn't just that. He also bought a lot of soybeans and mung beans from the villagers this year. He kept it to sprout them to beansprouts.

This was very profitable. No one would believe this. That bit of bean sprouts accumulated in a month can make almost 50 to 60 yuan.

There was also income from chickens.

It can be said that since the beginning of winter this year, Third Brother Lin had really made a fortune.

Of course, Lin Qing He didn't know about these. She saw Third Brother Lin the next day.

At this time, Lin Qing He knew that doing business would make money. But looking at Third Brother Lin, one can never tell he made a profit.

He wore a very old jacket.

He came over once he collected the chickens. Today, he collected a lot of chickens. Two chicken coops contained a dozen chickens.

"Sister, Brother-in-law." Third Brother Lin was overjoyed.

"How many years have you worn this jacket? Still not buying a new one?" Lin Qing He couldn't help but utter when seeing her third brother like this.

"It's no big deal. It's enough to keep out the cold. No need to wear much." Third Brother Lin said with a smile.

"You're all frozen." Lin Qing He said to him.

She poured a basin of warm water, and then gave him a towel to wash his face. Third Brother Lin knew that his sister cared about him, so he obeyed.

After washing, Lin Qing He dug out some vanishing cream for him to put on, and said, "I bought a lot of vanishing cream. You take this jar with you. Smear some on when you go out every day. You're younger than me by one year and looked older than your brother-in-law."

Third Brother Lin just grinned.

"Alright, first take your brother-in-law to sell chickens and ducks. When you come back, come directly here for lunch. I set aside a roast duck for you. You have to bring them back for my nieces to eat." Lin Qing He said.

"Okay." Third Brother Lin set off with his brother-in-law.

It was the 26th at this time. Already close to the New Year. Whether it was Zhou Qing Bai's chicken and duck or Third Brother Lin's chicken and bean sprouts, they were selling fast.

The two returned when it was midday.

Lin Qing He, Father Zhou, and Mother Zhou had finished eating. She cooked them a chicken noodle soup and let them be full before they talk.

"Sister, your culinary is too good." Third Brother Lin said contentedly after eating until his stomach was bulging.

"Let your wife put more effort into food and she can also make you delicious." Lin Qing He responded.

After finishing tidying up, she sent Zhou Qing Bai to wash. She sat down and asked, "Did you figure it out?"

Third Brother Lin smiled and said, "I just went to try it. I didn't expect that this year the city really didn't care about it."

"How do you feel now?" Lin Qing He smiled.

"Great." Third Brother Lin became serious and declared, "Sister, I plan to continue doing it next year. I also plan to collect some fruits and vegetables from our mountain and sell them in the future. Sister, do you think it will work?"

"It will work, but it's too tiring." Lin Qing He said.

It takes about two hours to get from here to the county city, even if one rode a bicycle. There was also a cart of fruits and vegetables. Very exhausting.

"I'm not afraid of being tired." Third Brother Lin shook his head.

What was so scary about being tired? What was scary was not making any money after exhaust themselves. Just like before. Drained to a half-dead state and how much money did he make?

"Go back and forth to the county town like this, have you ever thought of opening a convenience shop in the village?" Lin Qing He didn't stop him. Next time she goes to the south, she'll check if there was a motorcycle. If so, she'll get one back for her third brother.

Always going back and forth to the county city on a bicycle was exhausting.

"Convenience shop?" Third Brother Lin was surprised.

"Go to the county city and find some supplies. Like sour plum, powder candy, monk meat, and candies that children eat now. They can be shipped back for sale. Also soy sauce and vinegar. You can also find some places. Buy more and they will definitely be willing to give you a bargain. There will be some supplies in the county city. You can earn the difference." Lin Qing He advised.

"Not a bad idea." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Since he started doing business, he had also realized that one shouldn't underestimate these small margins. It's overwhelming in large quantities.

Less become more. One can earn a lot in one month.

Third Brother Lin's heart slightly moved.

After all, it was indeed very convenient for him as he traveled between the county city and the village.

"Isn't it embarrassing to selling things in the village?"Third Brother Lin said while scratching his head.

"You would be ashamed but your wife wouldn't. You only need to manage the shipping. Let your wife do the rest." Lin Qing He didn't care.

Her sister-in-law wasn't a soft persimmon. She can do this.

"Then alright. I'll talk to her when I go back." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"These two pairs of socks belong to your brother-in-law but he hasn't worn them yet. They are all brand new. Bring them back to wear. And this pack of red dates is for my nieces. Take this pack of milk candy back. I also specially brought you malt milk extract for you. Don't forget this jar of vanishing cream. Don’t save it. You used this towel. Take it home. There is one roast duck for each family. Your family gets one." After Lin Qing He packed these things, she told Third Brother Lin to take them back.

Third Brother Lin uttered helplessly: "Sister."

"Take it back. Don't speak of those needless words." Lin Qing He waved her hand and said, "Do you want to come over on the 1st?"

"Want." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"Okay. Come over then and I'll make good food for you." Lin Qing He acknowledged.

So Third Brother Lin took these things back home.

"Third Sister and Third Brother-in-law are back?" Seeing these things, Third Sister-in-law Lin knew who gave these and asked

"They're back." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"I'll go make you some food first." Third Sister-in-law Lin said before she sorts it out.

In the end, her heart ached for her man.

Third Brother Lin said, "No need. My sister made me chicken noodle soup. I was very full. Put these things away. I will tell you something."

Chapter 301. Became successful and made a fortune

When the couple went home, they naturally received a lot of onlookers' attention.

After all, their family was the first one to move out of the village. It was rare to see in the 90s, let alone the current 80s.

Absolutely respect-garnering.

So soon many relatives and friends came to the house.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai entertained them.

After talking for a long time, the neighbors went back. While Eldest Sister-in-law and the others did not leave.

"Like the previous years, a roast duck in each family. Sisters-in-law, take it back to add to your meal." Lin Qing He took out a few packets of roast duck from the bag and said.

"It's not necessary to buy it back every year." Eldest Sister-in-law said with some embarrassment.

"It's just a roast duck." Lin Qing He insisted on giving it to her.

Both Second Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law had one.

Second Sister-in-law asked: "I saw Fourth Brother has gained a lot of flesh this year. Is the business in the dumpling shop in the capital doing well?"

"Business is pretty good." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Oh, that's great. Mother is always worried at home," Second Sister-in-law remarked.

"Why didn't the boys come back this year?" Third Sister-in-law said.

"We recognized a godparent over there. The three naughty boys stayed there to accompany their god-grandfather." Lin Qing He replied.

"Da Wa and his brothers has a god-grandfather in the capital, so they don't want biological grandfather in the countryside?" Zhou Liu Ni smilingly squinted her eyes.

"You lass, how do you talk?" Eldest Sister-in-law immediately uttered.

"Liu Ni has grown up now. Your lips are becoming sharper and sharper. When the elders speak, you can just interrupt." Third Sister-in-law laughed.

Second Sister-in-law was too embarrassed and glared at her daughter: "If you can't speak, shut up and keep silent!"

Zhou Liu Ni was unbothered and smiled: "I'm just kidding."

"This joke is not funny at all. The most important thing for people is to not forget their roots. Whether it is me or Qing Bai, we teach Da Wa and his brothers this. The house in the capital is Da Wa's god-grandfather's. He knew that the school lacked a house and could not arrange it for me. He also knew that I was anxious to bring Qing Bai over, so he transferred his house to the school. Also, the dumpling shop. He helped to find it. We settled the god relationship this yea. He's on his own. Da Wa and his brothers want to stay. Qing Bai and I have no problem with it." Lin Qing He stated with a smile.

These words can be regarded as an explanation of the origin of this relationship. Most importantly was for the family on this side. Old Wang got no one, so it was understandable that the children stay there.

Didn’t the couple come back?

"It's right to stay there." Father Zhou nodded.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Third Sister-in-law go back and prepare dinner. We have to prepare for dinner too, so I won't keep you." Lin Qing He said with a smile.

"Alright." Eldest Sister-in-law nodded and then left.

Second Sister-in-law called Zhou Liu Ni. Third Sister-in-law also took Wu Ni back.

"Mother, Liu Ni girl is getting acrider now. Her words are really unpleasant." Lin Qing He unreservedly said to Mother Zhou as soon as they left.

Although she as Fourth Aunt didn't put in any effort into them, she did bring gifts back every year. She would try her best to help others.

In Zhou Liu Ni's eyes, it's like this was what she should do.

"Don't take Liu Ni's words seriously." Mother Zhou said. She wasn't worried about her granddaughter's matter. She turned to ask Zhou Qing Bai: "Qing Bai, how is the business at the dumpling shop?"

Just now Mother Zhou didn't take the answer in front of everyone seriously.

"Very good." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Lin Qing He started to prepare dinner. Simple was fine.

Mother Zhou didn't believe it and said, "Not telling your mother the truth? Mother saved a lot of money with your father this year. After the new year, bring it with you to the capital and buy more study materials for Da Wa and his brothers. "

Zhou Qing Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lin Qing He was busy in the kitchen and also heard this.

This was why her mother-in-law can sometimes be muddled. Still, Lin Qing He still didn't say anything.

Because the old couple was indeed partial to her family. Partial to her man and three sons. She was in the same camp.

So as long as she didn't make decisions for her and didn't interfere with how her life went, she won't care about the other little things.

So she spoke out: "Qing Bai's dumpling shop business is indeed doing great. It's not less than my salary. Father, Mother, you guys prepare this year. You're moving to the capital with us after the new year, right?"

The house with the garden can't always be kept empty. It was better to have people live in it.

"Move to the capital next year?" Mother Zhou became agitated.

"It's not stable over there. Forget it." Father Zhou said.

He felt that neither of them could help out youngest son, so better not go over and make trouble. Also, they can't speak the capital's accent.

"Your father is worried about going there and can't speak over there." Mother Zhou said.

"Our accent here is actually quite close to that of the capital. It's still understandable." Lin Qing He said upon hearing this.

Although the words here have a strong country accent, people in the capital can still understand them fifty-sixty percent.

"Once there, just learn a bit of that side is enough. We looked for a house with a garden for you. We plan to rent it after the new year. It's only five yuan a month. It's very spacious. Once you go there and like it, you can get Qing Bai to start a vegetable garden for you. Then fix up a chicken pen for you to raise chickens. If you have nothing to do, go out and stroll around. If you don’t know the way, you can call for your three grandsons. What is there to worry about it?" Lin Qing He readily persuaded.

With this, Mother Zhou's heart moved.

"The rent is five yuan a month?" Father Zhou frowned. This was too expensive.

"It's not a lot of five yuan. Qing Bai's Dumpling shop still makes money. The rent is not a problem. The key factor is you two." Lin Qing He said.

"Go live there." Zhou Qing Bai also spoke.

"We'll talk about next year." Father Zhou said.

Mother Zhou was very tempted, but she didn't directly contradict Father Zhou. She said in a roundabout way: "There are so many chickens and ducks in the family. Should we sell some?"

"Qing Bai, take some to the city tomorrow and sell it." Lin Qing He turned to Zhou Qing Bai.

It was better to bring the old couple to the capital. If they feel unwell, there's more access to care for them.

"Tomorrow Da Wa's uncle happened to come to collect the chickens. Qing Bai, go with him." Mother Zhou said upon hearing this.

"My third brother is coming over to collect the chicken? What do you mean?" Lin Qing He put the food on the table and perplexedly asked.

"You don't know yet. Da Wa's uncle became successful and made a fortune." Mother Zhou smilingly said when she knew that she didn't know about Third Brother Lin's matter.

Chapter 300. Not worst than a salary

"Completely better." Old Wang replied energetically.

Aunt Ma was delighted. Because she was in a hurry to go home and cook for her spouse, she said: "I won't talk to you for now."

When she went home to cook, she told her spouse, "Look, I'm not wrong. How good it was to recognize a godchild? It's the same as having a biological child."

Uncle Ma had a surge of emotion. When one getting older, they just want their child by their side, right?

If something happened, they'll receive care.

Wasn't it like this for old Wang this time? He got Xiao Kai guarding him every day. In the evening, he can eat on that side. Whatever serving tea and water, he just got to speak out.

Uncle Ma felt that recognizing a godchild happened in a timely manner.

It was justified for them to take care of him, no?

Aunt Ma also talked about this to her old friends. All her old sisters said recognizing this godchild was done right.

"Who doesn't know that old Wang has a lot of money and a large courtyard put out for rent. Maybe they're eyeing at these." However, there were different opinions. Some people said this.

They felt that Teacher Lin and her spouse got a very deep mind. This was obviously aiming at old Wang's assets.

However, the majority of the people were sensible.

If they can take care of him during his old age, there was nothing wrong with giving it to godsons and god-grandchildren?

At birth, they can't bring over anything, neither can they bring anything away during death. What's the use of hoarding it?

To paraphrase an old saying, an old man at this age isn't afraid of others seeking his things but he is afraid of having nothing in his hands for people to eye on.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai just wanted a relative in the capital. They didn't really care about old Wang's money and property.

Both of them can make money on their own.

Even when it was currently winter, Zhou Qing Bai's dumpling shop business was still very prosperous because he had been in business for a year. After all, he had already gained a certain degree of reputation.

If one wants to eat anything else, one can go to other individual stores. But if one want to eat dumplings, people will first think of his place.

Every month, there can be more than two hundred and nearly three hundred profit.

Because of this very considerable profit, Zhou Qing Bai got up and went to the shop before six o'clock every morning.

How much profit can be made in one year?

How can there be none?

In particular, the couple plan to go south every summer.

As for the winter vacation, then they'll go to Hai City and wander around. It will definitely make a good earning.

The income of the family can be said to be very hefty. Not like that of old Wang.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't reply to outsiders' guess. They also didn't care much.

Life went on as usual.

In a blink, it was December.

The reason why December was called December was that it was a good season for making bacon and sausages.

Stuffing sausages were too difficult and Lin Qing He was too lazy to make it, so she just marinated the meat to make bacon.

It was hung in Zhou Qing Bai’s dumpling shop to dry. Because it looked delicious, so many customers asked how was this bacon sold?

There was no plan to sell bacon. After all, there wasn't much made. It was kept for themselves. Ten jins was easy to demolish. It was impossible for them to sell.

During the Laba Festival, Zhou Qing Bai made a pot of Laba congee. The family got up early in the morning to drink Laba porridge.

"This year, will the three of you are going to stay here to spend the New Year with your god-grandfather or go back to our hometown with us for the New Year?" Lin Qing He asked her three sons.

There will be a break in half a month. The tickets must be booked in advance.

"We stay here to celebrate the New Year with God-grandfather. When you go back, just send our new year greeting to Grandfather and Grandmother." Zhou Xuan said.

Zhou Gui Lai nodded. Zhou Kai, the eldest, felt that he couldn't leave their god-grandfather alone for the New Year. It was too lonely.

"Okay, then you can stay here. Your dad and I will leave on the 20th. If you want to open the shop, you can open it until the 25th. The rest of the time, take your god-grandfather around." Lin Qing He instructed.

"Understood." All three sons agreed.

Lin Qing He was a little melancholy: "You guys not even homesick, or feel unaccustomed?"

"No." The three answered honestly.

After the pressure and blows from their parents, the three brothers became very independent and adaptable. They were just spending New Year in the capital. What was there to feel unaccustomed about?

Anyway, their parents will return after the New Year. It will be less than a month.

So when the 20th arrived, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were on their way home. Whether they had money or not, they always had to go home for the New Year.

As for the children, leave them be. Don't want to go back, then don't.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came to Hai City and strolled around.

Zhou Qing Bai noticed how familiar she was the road and asked: "Been here a few times?"

"Two or three times." Lin Qing He didn't pay attention and just answered without any thoughts.

When her wits reacted, she looked at her Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai swept a glance at her and strolled forward. Obviously, this guy was angry.

Lin Qing He sighed softly, chased up, and said, "You have learned the art of speaking now and became sly."

Especially when she was so defenseless against him. It was basically, 100% fall into the trap.

When Zhou Qing Bai looked at her, Lin Qing He immediately raised her hand and surrendered: "I will take you wherever I go in the future. If you are not by my side, I will definitely not make the decision on my own, otherwise, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Zhou Qing Bai didn't continue with the stern face.

Have to say, this year's Hai City was really more prosperous and more active than last year.

Because Zhou Qing Bai was here, Lin Qing He was very restrained and only bought a few watches, two radios, and two electric fans.

However, when she came to the mall, she started to clear out all kinds of new clothes.

For Zhou Qing Bai and herself. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou each gets a cotton-padded coat. So did old Wang and her three sons.

Still, she and Zhou Qing Bai had the most. Each had two new set of clothes.

The rest were some other clothes, shoes, and belts. It will be brought back and passed to Shen Yu.

The couple only rested in Hai City for one day and departed early the next morning.

Lin Qing He gave those things to Shen Yu. One electric fan, two radios were kept. One for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. They'll definitely like it.

The other one was brought to the dumpling shop so that everyone could listen to the radio while eating dumplings.

The electric fan was also kept.

All the others were sold.

Shen Yu was overjoyed. But because Lin Qing He brought back a lot of things this time, especially a few pairs of leather shoes which were so expensive, she couldn't take the money out all at once.

"Pay me half first. Wait until we leave after the new year. I'll come over then and give me the other half." Lin Qing He said to her.

"Okay." Shen Yu responded straightforwardly.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai rode the bicycle in the space and came to Zhou Xiao Mei's place. This bicycle was bought in the south this year.

Despite coming back from Hai City and made a fortune, Lin Qing He cried out that she was a poor ghost.

Even when she saved a lot of money in her space, she was still a poor man.

If she didn't take advantage of this time to make more money, what can she do in the future? After all, she didn't have the ambition to conquer the ocean of stars.

She was thinking about investing more in real estate and collecting rents for retirement. She'll just take her Qing Bai around the world and see more of the outside world. She had no other big ambitions.

So if she didn't make more money at this time, when will she make more money?

The annual income of her family's Qing Bai had reached more than two thousand this year. Although it was less than three thousand, it was definitely not a small amount. In this era, it was a large sum.

While she relied on her salary. Although it wasn't low, it was only more than 3,000 in total when including Zhou Qing Bai's.

Relying on these two incomes, she still can't afford the courtyard dwelling she was so fond of.

So she had to short sell.

The couple came over to Zhou Xiao Mei's.

Zhou Xiao Mei's place was really lively now.

Initially, it was only two of them in the 40 square meters or so place. It was really spacious then. But now they got four children and it wasn't anymore.

"Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law!" Zhou Xiao Mei was extremely delighted.

Su Cheng, Su Xun, and the others greeted their uncle and aunt.

"Good children, go eat candy." Lin Qing He gave them a bag of candy.

"Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law, just you came back? The boys didn't come back?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"We recognized a godfather over there. The brothers said that their god-grandfather is too lonely there, so they will stay there for the New Year this year." Lin Qing He explained.

At this time, Su Da Lin hadn't got off work. It happened to be after three o'clock in the afternoon. Still, working hours.

"Recognized a godfather." Zhou Xiao Mei nodded, and then asked her fourth brother: "Fourth brother, did you get used to in the capital?"

"I did" Zhou Qing Bai concisely replied.

Lin Qing He smiled and said, "Look at your fourth brother and you'll know."

This year Zhou Qing Bai was a bit fatter than the previous years.

After all, there was no need to work in the field. Although he had to get up early every day, he was the chef. Zhou Qing Bai will inevitably grow meat. At least 20 jins were gained.

Especially on the little belly. It was so meaty. Lin Qing He liked to touch it.

Even when Zhou Qing Bai always regarded it as inviting him.

Zhou Xiao Mei grinned and said, "Fourth Brother really gained a lot this year. How's the business there?"

"Business is pretty good." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

"Not lower than my salary at all." Lin Qing He added.

Needless to say how much money it was. This sentence 'not lower than her salary' was enough.

"Da Lin's factory isn't very prosperous this year," Zhou Xiao Mei mentioned

"Do you want to go home during Chinese New Year?" Lin Qing He asked.

"I'll go back this year." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"As a sister-in-law, I will tell you the truth. Just rely on Brother-in-law's skill in making steamed buns, the business won't do badly when he goes over to the capital and opened a shop. I won't guaranteed this rest, but the salary will definitely not be worse than here. "Lin Qing He stated.

"When Da Lin comes back, I will tell Da Lin." Zhou Xiao Mei nodded. She especially wanted to go to the capital.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't stay too long. They also didn't stay for dinner. After a while, they left a roast duck and then rode home by themselves.

Chapter 299. Care

Old Wang only had dry coughs these days.

However, Lin Qing He took precaution. She got Zhou Kai to go to old Wang's place and sleep with his god-grandfather.

Although it was only a single room, it was fine for Zhou Kai to camp on the floor. There were enough quilts and blankets brought over, so it wasn't cold.

Old Wang said there was no need. It was just a small cold. What need was there?

But Lin Qing He insisted. Zhou Kai also expressed he wants to guard.

Well, that very night, at about eleven o'clock, old Wang began burning up.

The old man almost burnt silly. Thankfully, Zhou Kai was keen. Hearing his voice, he immediately got up. With a check, his forehead was so hot.

He helped the old man get up and drank water. While at it, he grabbed the medicine his mother left behind. Then he bundled his god-grandfather in warm clothes, covered him with a quilt, and went straight to the hospital.

At this time, the benefits of this kid's size were displayed.

All the way he carried his god-grandfather on his back to the hospital. He was only slightly panting. The doctor couldn't help compliment his good physical fitness.

Then he(the doctor) checked old Wang and put him on an IV drip.

After hearing that the fever medicine was fed, he didn't continue with the medicine. After all, the elderly's situation was fairly stable.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't know. It was only the next morning when Zhou Kai came over to ask to make pork ribs and lotus seed congee did they find out.

Zhou Qing Bai went to cooked pork ribs and lotus seed congee, so he went to open a shop first. Zhou Kai brought Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai over. Of course, Lin Qing He was with them. They came to see old Wang.

Old Wang's whole spirit was sluggish, but he was obviously happy.

"Quickly go have your class. There is nothing wrong with me. The fever is gone now. I can go back but Xiao Kai told me to see the situation first." Old Wang said with a smile.

"You can't just go back like this. Need to observe a bit." Lin Qing He urged.

Then she let him eat breakfast.

The family chatted with old Wang for a while. They waited for old Wang to finish eating, and then packed up their things and went back.

No choice. Those who go to school have to go to school, and those who give class have to give class.

"Is that your daughter or daughter-in-law?" asked a patient next to him.

"My daughter-in-law and my three grandchildren." Old Wang smilingly answered.

"Then you are really blessed. Your eldest grandson is really promising. He carried you over last night." The patient said.

"Even though he is a bit tall, he is only sixteen years old." Old Wang smiled: "This kid is a filial child. I said yesterday that I don't need him to sleep with me, but he insisted on staying with me. His parents let him keep watch. Now thinking of this, I feel scared."

"When old, you have to admit you're old. Don't overexert. Fortunately, you arrived on time last night. If not, afraid you won't get better soon." responded this patient.

"That's true. I must acknowledge I'm old in the future." Old Wang nodded and said: "But I am much better now, what need is there to stay in the hospital any longer?"

"Just stay, the children will be reassured," coaxed this patient.

The old saying was right, sickness comes like a mountain and goes like a thread. But that's because Zhou Kai sent him to the hospital in time last night and the cold medicine was also fed in time. So his spirit wasn't too bad today.

Although old Wand hadn't expended much energy, he can't stand the smell of disinfection from the hospital.

Zhou Kai had two classes this morning. After finishing the class, he came over. Old Wang spoke, "Let's pack up. We're not staying in the hospital."

"Grandfather, stay here first. I'll go ask the doctor and discuss it." Zhou Kai refused to listen to him. He poured him a glass of warm water and said.

He went to the doctor. The doctor said that it was indeed possible to not stay in the hospital, so Zhou Kai came back and said, "Then I will take you back."

Old Wang nodded. Then they went back to his single dormitory.

After Zhou Kai got him to lie down on the bed, he bought some apples and slice the apple for his god-grandfather. He said, "Grandfather, what do you want to eat this afternoon?"

"My appetite is a little weak. There is nothing I want to eat." Old Wang said while eating an apple.

"Nothing you want to eat. Then let's have celery and pork dumplings." Zhou Kai said.

"Alright. Go over at noon and bring me a portion." Old Wang nodded.

"Last night, you had scared me. You know, you were completely burning up. My mother's medicine is really effective. From here to the hospital, the fever had gone down a lot." Zhou Kai told.

"Where did your mother buy that medicine?" Old Wang also thought it was effective.

"I don't know. She said she bought it in the south." Zhou Kai replied, "Grandfather, would you like to have another one?"

"Not having. I will sleep." Old Wang still felt weak and answered.

Zhou Kai nodded. He didn't leave either. He stayed at the side to keep guard and grabbed a book to read.

Lin Qing He came over after class finished and took a look. Seeing that they really came back, she felt more relieved. Being able to leave the hospital indicated that the situation was stable.

Zhou Kai came out stealthily.

"How's your god-grandfather?" Lin Qing He asked.

"The situation is very stable. There is no problem." Zhou Kai replied.

Lin Qing He said, "Got any classes in the afternoon?"

"There is one important class. It doesn't matter if I don't attend the others." Zhou Kai said.

"Then go to the important class. You don't need to go to the others. Study the book yourself. Your god-grandfather needs someone to keep an eye on him," Lin Qing He said.

In fact, it can be arranged for old Wang to go to the second floor of the dumpling shop. But the dumpling shop had people coming and going. Some people like to joke and laugh when they eat dumplings. There was no door to the second floor, so it was quite noisy.

So he was recuperating here.

Zhou Kai agreed.

Old Wang had been sick for five days. It was until the sixth day when old Wang got up this morning and his whole state was different. He was completely healed.

"Grandfather, why did you get up so early?" Zhou Kai, who was still camping on the ground, came back from jogging and saw he was awake.

He was already preparing to enter the military academy next year. He had long started getting up early to do physical training exercises like running.

"My old bones are healed. They will rust if I keep lying down." Old Wang replied in a happy mood.

"Then go to the shop for breakfast?" Zhou Kai said.

"Let's go." Old Wang nodded.

One old and one young came over to the dumpling shop for breakfast. Lin Qing He likes to sleep in during the winter. The two younger ones were the same. They haven't come yet. After all, it was only 6:40. The three of them arrived almost at seven.

However, Zhou Qing Bai was already busy since six.

This taciturn man always carried his family responsibilities silently without complaining.

Today, he cooked lily bulb, lotus seed, and rib congee. This was naturally under his wife's order. It was accompanied by a dish of pickled garlic and salted duck eggs. It was a very refreshing accompanient.

Lily Bulb a.k.a Bai He (百合). 3rd is what is sold in store

"Oh, old Wang, you're better?"

Auntie Ma hadn't started work yet. She just bought some groceries and was about to go home. When she passed by, she saw old Wang stretching his waist outside after breakfast. She immediately broke into a grin.
