BTTS 279




Chapter 279. Work hard to earn money


Mother Zhou obviously wanted to go. She grinned and said: "Wait until you are settled and then discuss. Let's see if us two old things can help. If there is, we will go."

They can’t go over to cause trouble.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything. It was a bit early to say this now. Wait until later, and then decide.

Zhou Qing Bai came back with Er Wa in the evening. The father and son brought back two rabbits and five pheasants.

Lin Qing He saw that Third Brother Lin hadn't come, and asked, "Have your uncle gone far?"

"Not yet. We just separated." Er Wa confirmed.

"Bring this roast duck to your uncle." Lin Qing He handed him the roast duck which had been wrapped in oil paper and ordered.

As for Eldest Sister and Second Sister, they'll handle it tomorrow.

"Okay." Er Wa hopped on the bicycle and made a chase.

Only then, Lin Qing He looked at Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai was also examining his wife.

"Father, have you not seen enough? You have been looking since you came back." San Wa teased.

"I think you are full. Want to taste bamboo stick fried flesh." Lin Qing He swept a glance at him.

San Wa giggled and then went to boil the water to clean the fur.

Lin Qing He brewed a cup of honey water for Zhou Qing Bai to drink first. There were a few cans of honey in her space. All were reserved for drinking in winter. It was too dry, so they got to stay hydrated.

"Waited for you and you haven't returned." After drinking the honey water, Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and said.
"En, I heard from Mother. The moment you go out, I came back. Gave you a surprise." Lin Qing He laughed.

The corner of Zhou Qing Bai’s mouth raised slightly. Lin Qing He pulled him into the room and then showed him the property certificate: "I got it settled. Once this year is over, our family will move. Tomorrow, go find the school head to arrange the transfer certificate for the two boys."

"Leave once the New Year is over?" Zhou Qing Bai dumbly stared at the property certificate and then turned to his wife.

"I didn't expect that I would graduate so soon. The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Still, it's all a good thing." Lin Qing He responded: "The house we'll live in had been cleaned up by me and our eldest son. After this year is over, shall we leave?"

"Then I will go and settled all the required documents tomorrow." Zhou Qing Bai said after hearing this.

Lin Qing He smiled and looked at him: "Aren't you worried about going to that side?"

"Not worried. I will watch this shop." Zhou Qing Bai seriously vowed.

"I plan to let you sell dumplings, so you have to practice at home during the New Year." Lin Qing He said.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Selling dumplings was within his ability. Still, practicing was a must this year.

So starting the next day, Zhou Qing Bai started cooking after he sorted out the required documents.

Nothing else, just rolling out the dumpling skin, chopping up the stuffing, wrapping it up, and then cooking the dumplings.

He had completely perfected it. In the following period, the whole family came face to face with dumplings.

Lin Qing He had eaten until she was afraid. However, seeing her Qing Bai looking very serious, she tacitly resigned.

In fact, it was just a dumpling shop. The reason why this shop was opened was that she was afraid that he'll be extremely bored once he moved there.

A man can get tired, but he can't be too idle. If he was too idle, he will lose confidence in himself.

That's why such a shop came into place

These days, Zhou Qing Bai tried a lot of dumplings. Cabbage, mushrooms, e.t.c. which were all good fillings.

Mince beef, mince lamb and mince pork as well.

However, the materials here were a bit lacking. Beef and lamb were rare. The most eaten was pork stuffing.

Originally, Lin Qing He had a relaxed mentality. But now she saw her Qing Bai's perseverance, she didn't dare to be sloppy.

After all, this counted as his first career after being discharged from the army, right?

Lin Qing He felt that he should be encouraged.

So she bombarded prevailing words at Zhou Qing Bai so hard that Zhou Qing Bai's eyebrows carried mirth.

It was nearly the New Year. Only then, Zhou Qing Bai didn't continue to make dumplings. It was because he had found a lot of confidence from his wife during this period.

Moreover, his parents and two sons also said that it was delicious. It won't badly then.

Everyone was relieved.

Although dumplings were good stuff, they can't stand to eat them every day. They were really tired of them.

Lin Qing He made cornmeal mantou. Then she chopped green onions and fried two pheasants and cooked a pot of radish and bone soup. Such a combination tasted delicious.


At night, the lights were still lit in Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai's room.

Lin Qing He was reading a book while snacking on tomatoes. Zhou Qing Bai also had a tomato in his hand.

"Once you open the shop in the future, let's store up more fruits and vegetables when they are plentiful and keep it for dumpling filling in winter. It will be very fresh to eat." Lin Qing He said.

"No need. Just follow everyone else." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

Lin Qing He smiled and looked at him: "When the south's shipments arrived and growing veg in greenhouse become a thing, there will be no worries. I won't need to use my space then."

Zhou Qing Bai responded: "Save it for our own family."

It was still that reason. He didn't want to expose any suspicion of his wife's magical thing.

"Alright." Lin Qing He obediently agreed.

Seeing that Zhou Qing Bai had finished eating, she took another one out for him, "It's too dry today. Eat one more."

Zhou Qing Bai liked eating them. Knowing that she had saved a lot of it, he didn't hold back.

After eating the tomatoes, he himself took a notebook out to jot down his thoughts. Once it was about time, the two went to bed.

"Xiao Mei gave birth to another girl." Lin Qing He emotionally mentioned after lying down.

Life was unpredictable. This little sister-in-law Zhou Xiao Mei was really amazing. She used to be a sweet young girl. But it was no wonder why Zhou Xiao Mei was so willing to give birth to so many children. Su Da Lin's treatment toward her was impeccable.

"En. Da Lin had come to announce the good news." Zhou Qing Bai responded.
"Da Wa, that stinky brat didn't come back this year. So let's make up for it when we go to the capital." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai had no objection either. He was rubbing his wife's waist. Lin Qing He was very comfortable and said, "Qing Bai, I'm overjoyed that this shop was bought."

"Buy more in the future." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

He heard what she said. The property in the capital will be scarily expensive in the future. Still, he was a little bit astonished when he heard it. He couldn't imagine it.

So taking advantage of the cheap price, they have to buy a few more first.

Lin Qing He grinned and said, "I do want to buy more. That's why we have to make a lot of money."

After coming back from Hai City, she made a thousand or so profit.

When it came to making money, there was really no better way to make money than reselling these things. The risk was high. But no matter in which era, courageously charging toward the risk meant higher reward when won. Besides, she got a cheat, the space.

"En." Zhou Qing Bai also seriously acknowledged.

He wanted to work hard to earn money. Can't just let his wife take the whole burden.
