BTTS 281




Chapter 281. Bring nothing


At this time, it was so prestigious to move the rural household registration to the city and become the city folk who eats commercial grains.

Their old Fourth will immediately move to their household registration to the capital.

How can they not envy?

But it was pointless to envy. His wife can really be affectionate and righteous. She took good care of old Fourth when she was at home. Now she went to the capital, she didn't forget to bring old Fourth over.

In the end, it can only be said that old Fourth's life was blessed.

"However, if you become a self-employed person, will you get educated?" Third Brother asked.

"Won't." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

This was a movement of future development. He looked at his three brothers and said: "If you can't use up the things at home, you can take it to the city and give it a go. There's a bicycle at home."

There was one in his house, as well as one received when Zhou Xiao Mei got married.

His wife had said to give their one to her third brother. He had no objection.

Zhou Qing Bai had done the accounts like the cost of flour, fillings, etc. when making the dumplings. Even if a bowl of dumplings makes a profit of five cents each, it can't ward off many people.

Even if there weren't many people, but with 20 guests a day, he can earn a yuan. In a month, it'll be a few tenners.

Of course, this wasn't a lot since his wife's salary had been increased. Her's was more than 60 a month. There was also a subsidy.

Even if opening a shop didn’t make a lot of money, it was better than staying at home.

Zhou Qing Bai felt some kind of pressure.

He was quite confident. The dumplings he makes weren't terrible. If he can source out mutton and beef in the capital, he can make other fillings.

All in all, he'll be able to handle the shop.

This was what Lin Qing He appreciates and likes about Zhou Qing Bai.

If he decides to do it, he will no longer hesitate. He planned for the future very seriously and will not be all talk. On the contrary, Zhou Qing Bai was actually a very confident man.

Confident and self-disciplined. The army had educated him very well.

So even with Lin Qing He's kind, she couldn't stand against his charm. From the time she first came and planned to keep a certain distance from him until she was completely eaten by him later.

In the same way, Zhou Qing Bai also fell into the gentle homeland of his wife.

After staying at old Zhou’s house for more than an hour, other people also came to visit and chat. That's why the news spread out.

It became the biggest and hottest news in Zhoujia village this year.

After the New Year, Zhou Qing Bai and his wife are going to the capital with Er Wa and San Wa!

"Don't know what luck old Zhou family has. They actually married a wife that prosper the family."

"Who would deny that? This wife is a good gain. Blessing three generations. Look at old Seventh (Father Zhou) and his wife. They don't need to work in the field."

"That's just the generation above. Look at Da Wa and his brothers below. From now on, all of them will be talents. In the future, their children will be well off."

"How is this blessing three generations? It's four generations."

"..."

On the first day of the New Year, Third Brother Lin brought his wife and children over.

Because there were so many children, they brought two pheasants on top of the grains.

Lin Qing He and Third Sister-in-law Lin came out to prepare lunch and brought up: "Qing Bai and I are going to the capital after the New Year. You and my third brother stay well here."

"Going to the capital after the New Year?" Third Sister-in-law exclaimed in surprise.

"En. Everything has been arranged over there." Lin Qing He nodded.

Third Sister-in-law Lin looked envious, and said, "I don't know if we have a chance to go and have a look in the future?"

"Wait for when everything has stabilized in the future. Then you can go anytime you want." Lin Qing He answered.

It was her third brother after all. So Lin Qing He asked: "Have you and my third brother ever thought about going to the capital to develop?"

"Forget it." Upon hearing this, Third Sister-in-law Lin shook her head instantly.

How could the two of them compare to Third Aunt's ability? They didn't recognize many words. And how will they make a living if they go there?


These were all problems.

Lin Qing He didn't say continue on and just said: "In the future, the city will become more and more relaxed. Now there are self-employed people, right? From next year, get my brother to run over to the city more. Our bike won't be needed then. I will give it to you.”

"This...where is this use for it?" Third Sister-in-law Lin's brain paused as she answered.

"In our countryside, the eggs, chickens, and the things we grow in the backyard aren't worth much money in our eyes. However, if they were brought to the city, the city folk all want it. Same for the river's shrimp and fish and the ricefield's loach. They can be brought." Lin Qing He didn't drag in the bicycle matter and just explained.


"These can make money? If he does this, I'm afraid he won't have time to go to the field." Third Sister-in-law Lin hesitated.

Surviving on the field for a lifetime, one naturally felt insecure at the sudden change of mindset and go to do business.

Still, this was her biological brother. So Lin Qing He persisted: "If it doesn't make money, would I let my brother do it? It doesn't matter if you don't support him. But you can't hold him back. I'll tell him this matter and you can let him give it a try. If it doesn't work out, at most he'll go back and continue the usual work."

Third Sister-in-law Lin nodded.

After lunch, when everyone got together to chat, Lin Qing He talked about this with Third Brother Lin.

Lin Qing He originally thought that she would have to convince her brother. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said it, Third Brother Lin stated, "I also plan to get some things to sell in the city. However, I can't get your bike for nothing, Sister."

The last sentence was said very firmly.

"If you don't want it, then forget it." Lin Qing He responded.

The bicycle had been used for many years. All the money was gained back, it was fine to just give it to him. How can she possibly take that bit of money from him.

Although the bicycle had been used for many years, it was still as handy to use as always. Have to say that the quality of things at this time was really top-notch.

On the second of New Year, Eldest Sister and Second Sister came to visit too. Knowing that old Fourth's family was going to leave on the sixth, they were all happy for them. Then they expressed that they would come to see them off at that time.

Lin Qing He didn't refuse either. It was all good intention, so let everyone be.


The New Year passed in just a few days. After all, with people coming and going it became the sixth in a blink of an eye.

Many people came over this morning.

Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi both came to bid farewell.

Zhou Xi wasn't little anymore. She got engaged to a very good young man in the village. Lin Qing He had given her a quality cloth from her space to her to make new clothes for her marriage this year.

"Why is it this much?" Everyone originally wanted to come over and help move things, but when they came over, what things were there?

It was just two small pieces of baggage, which only contained clothes.

Nothing else.

"On such cold days, why didn't you bring any quilts?" Eldest Sister said.
