BTTS 333

It's been a year since BTTS started. Nearly halfway! XD



Chapter 333. Hometown


Third Brother Lin was obviously taken aback as he never thought of this.

"You are relying on your young age. Do you want to ride a bicycle for a lifetime? There is a saying in the capital. 'Give a go and a bicycle can become a motorcycle'. Whether you want to listen to your sister or not, you and your wife will decide for yourself." Lin Qing He said.

Third Brother Lin considered it. He felt that what his sister said was indeed correct.

If he had a motorcycle, he would be able to carry more things back. Then he would naturally earn more.

At the moment, he was transporting with a bicycle. It was indeed not enough to sell. A cartful was sold out almost in the afternoon. The rest of the time, there were people coming and they got nothing to sell.

If there was a motorcycle, he can bring back a lot of fruits and vegetables from the countryside or chicken, duck, and fish eggs.

"I'm just afraid that this motorcycle isn't easy to buy. Will it be too troublesome for you?" Third Brother Lin looked at his sister.

"It's not troublesome. But this year, it'll be hard on you as you have to continue doing this. It'll have to wait until this time next year." Lin Qing He nodded.

She was still very satisfied that her brother got this progressive mind. If he keeps at it, he will not do badly in the future.

She turned to Third Sister-in-law Lin: "Don’t be too frugal on normal. Feed him with more good food. Working this hard and got no nourishment, sooner or later his body will be drained. When the time comes, he'll have entered the hospital. Meaning costing a large sum of money. Weakening the body isn't worth it.

"I have. Now there are eggs every day. And a cut of meat every other day." Third Sister-in-law Lin responded.

"Every so often, you got to kill a chicken for nourishment." Lin Qing He nosily interjected.

Currently, this shop wasn't any less profitable than her family's dumpling shop. There was no need to save that bit of money. A chicken was only one yuan or so. Every three days, her family will grab one to supplement the body and stew for the whole family to eat.

As for the rest, there was nothing to say.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai said goodbye to them and came over to Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei's house.

When they came over, Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei happened to be at home. The family was eating watermelon.

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law!"

Upon their arrival, Zhou Xiao Mei's eyes lit up. She called out at once.

Su Da Lin poured them water and cut more watermelon.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He didn't hold back. They took a piece of watermelon and said, "Your family can really enjoy."

"Today Cheng Cheng said he wanted to eat watermelon. Da Lin dotes him, so he bought one." Zhou Xiao Mei explained.

Although Su Da Lin was the father, really spoiled his four children. It was because he was lonely since he was a child as he didn't have any siblings. 

Basically, as long as it wasn't excessive, he will fulfill it.

In comparison, Zhou Xiao Mei had become a strict mother.

"Uncle, Aunt, are you here to take us to the capital?" Su Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I'm here to take you to the capital. Your cousins are all over there." Lin Qing He smilingly answered.

Zhou Qing Bai rubbed his head. This little nephew was raised at his home.

"Then when will we leave?" Su Cheng asked.

"Have you packed everything?" Lin Qing He looked at Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei.

"All...all...packed." Su Da Lin nodded.

"Everything has been packed long ago. Da Lin resigned earlier this month. Just waiting for you, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law to come over." Zhou Xiao Mei replied.

Lin Qing He nodded and said, "Then there will be no delay. Go there early and settle down earlier. You have a rest tonight. Tomorrow we will leave for the municipal city to catch the train."

"Okay." Zhou Xiao Mei happily chirped.

The neighbors left and right knew that her family was going to move to the capital. They also knew that Su Da Lin resigned and planned to become self-employed in the capital.

It evoked a lot of gossip behind the scenes. Wondering why he gave up such a high salary to go to the capital to become self-employed?

Did he have a fever?

Zhou Xiao Mei didn't want to talk nonsense with others. She hoped to go to the capital sooner.

"Tonight...tonight..."

When Su Da Lin was halfway through, Zhou Xiao Mei took over for him and said, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, have dinner here tonight and go back after eating."

"Alright." Lin Qing He nodded.

Su Da Lin went out to buy groceries.

Zhou Xiao Mei said: "Fourth Sister-in-law, with so many of us going over there, will there be enough space to live?"

"Fortunately, the place I rented for you has three rooms. One for our parents, two rooms for your family. There's also a small study room. Although it's not big, you can put a bed in the study room and get another room," Lin Qing He said.

 Her property was indeed very good. In addition to the above rooms, there was a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room.

It can be said to be very spacious.

In addition, there was a garden outside, which was surrounded by walls. The asking price of 7,000 yuan wasn't cheap at all.

However, with some calculations, it wasn't considered too expensive. In short, it is still very cost-effective. After all, 7,000 yuan may not even be sufficient for one-tenth of two square meters in the future generation.

Zhou Xiao Mei felt relieved when she heard her fourth sister-in-law say so.

"Don't worry about it so much. Your fourth brother got someone to fix the light, circuits, and all in the shop. Er Ni and the others had gone over to clean it up. You can roughly sort it and do your business straight away." Lin Qing He assured.

After all, if anyone moves so far, their heart won't feel concrete.

"I'm not worried. You all are in the capital." Zhou Xiao Mei said with a smile.

Lin Qing He nodded.

Su Da Lin bought a lot of things. Two big fish and one chicken. Dinner was a hearty meal.

After Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai finished eating, they bid farewell and return to their hometown.

When the two of them came back, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had just finished eating.

They heard the voices of Lin Qing He and the neighbors outside.

"Old man, why do I seem to hear Fourth's wife?" Stunned, Mother Zhou asked.

Father Zhou had heard it too. He just got up and came out. Mother  Zhou followed.

Then they saw that their youngest son and daughter-in-law had both returned. Immediately, they were delighted: "I was saying, you should be almost back. You must be hungry. Come inside. We'll talk later. Mother will make you some food to cushion your belly."

"Mother, we have eaten." Lin Qing He responded.

"Eaten? Did you come back from Xiao Mei's?" Mother Zhou asked.

"En. We came back from brother-in-law's place." Lin Qing He nodded and then directed at Zhou Qing Bai: "You and Mother, go inside and pack things first."

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Lin Qing He continued to talk to her neighbors. She also revealed some news from the capital. She spoke of the country getting better and better in the future. There were a lot of thieves in the capital. They should pay more attention.
