BTTS 337




 Chapter 337. Talkative


There were three types of lunch on the train.

One ordinary box lunch, one with poached eggs, and the highest class one got chicken legs.

The prices were all different.

Lin Qing He went for all highest class ones. As for herself, nah. She got a poached egg lunch. She only had a few bites. Even the poached egg was given to Zhou Qing Bai. There were boiled eggs in her space. She can eat those.

"Sister-in-law, why do you eat so little?" Zhou Xiao Mei had a very good appetite. She hadn't eaten a train box lunch before. She felt it was pretty delicious and demolished it all.

"I have a bad appetite." Lin Qing He replied.

"You still have to eat more to last until we reached the capital." Because the train's lunch was very fresh and delicious, Mother Zhou was very satisfied with it.

During the bus ride, she was car sick all day long. She felt much better now.

"It's okay. I'm used to it." Lin Qing He said.

"Fouth Sister-in-law, we'll sort the money when we reach the capital." Zhou Xiao Mei stated.

"We'll talk later." Lin Qing He didn't continue.

After eating, she grabbed a few more apples out of the bag. Everyone got a half.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, when did you buy the apple?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"The trained stopped while you were sleeping. I saw an old man selling it outside, so I ran out and bought some." Lin Qing He said.

With that said, she took five or six more apples out of the bag. Tomatoes and cucumbers too. As for the watermelon and mangoes, she'll set them aside and didn't take them out.

"If you want to eat, you can take it. After this ride, you'll have experience for the future. It is better to eat some of this during the ride. Lighter in taste is better." Lin Qing He remarked.

"En." Zhou Xiao Mei nodded. She took a cucumber and gave half to Mother Zhou.

"Give it to Da Lin, I can't eat it anymore." Mother Zhou waved her hand. The box lunch wasn't small. It was easy for the elderly to feel stuffed.

But truly, it was really delicious.

"Father, do you want to eat?" Su Da Lin asked Father Zhou.

"I'll have a tomato." Father Zhou grabbed a tomato to eat.

Zhou Qing Bai also munched on tomato as an after-dinner snack.

The next meal was naturally a box meal. Even if it was delicious, they won't find it anything special after having it three meals a day.

So when the family got off the train and arrived in the capital, it was a real relief.

After arriving at the train station in the capital, they came out and changed transport.

It took a few bus changes to get to Bei University.

Whether it was the shop or a house, it was all in that area.

After interchanging all the way they didn't head straight to the dumpling shop, because it wasn't in the way. So they came to the house first and put down the luggage.

Finally, they can really sigh in relief. They were home!

"Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law, you rented such a big house. This...how much is it for a month?" Zhou Xiao Mei looked around and uttered with bright eyes.

It was just like her fourth sister-in-law said. There are a few rooms. On top of that, there was a front yard and the back yard. This couldn't get any better.

"Originally, this side was intended to be rented for Father and Mother. You were secondary. In the future, you can pay the shop's rent by yourself. You don't have to worry about here." Lin Qing He said.

"This...this can't...do." Su Da Lin shook his head.

"It's just a few yuans. Brother-in-law, no need to be precise with me." Lin Qing He said with a smile: "Even if you don't come, we'll rent it for our parents and still have to pay this money."

Then she turned to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou: "Father and Mother, look around. Are you satisfied? It's fine to grow melons, vegetables, or  raise chickens in the yard. It took a long time to pick such a good place."

After all, seven thousand yuan wasn't for nothing.

"Very good." Father Zhou nodded and said.

"This yard is so good. Afraid it cost a lot of money?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Just live here. Qing Bai and I can worry about that." Lin Qing He said: "You should sort the things first. At this time, the clothing store is about to close. I'll get Hu Zi, Er Ni, and the others to buy some groceries. We won’t open stove here today and go to the dumpling shop to eat."

The house was to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou and the rest to get familiar with. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai brought Su Da Lin over to the bun shop.

When they reached the intersection, she gave Zhou Qing Bai the key and told him to take Su Da Lin over. She went to the dumpling shop.

Old Wang, Aunt Ma, Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai were all in the dumpling shop.

"Mom, when did you come back?" Zhou Gui Lai was chatting with Aunt Ma when she arrived. His eyes lit up when he saw his mother came back.

"Just arrived." Lin Qing He smilingly answered: "Uncle Wang, let's have dinner later today. My parents and my sister-in-law's family are all here. We will eat here tonight."

"Okay." Old Wang nodded.

"Second, go tell your sister Er Ni and the others that the business will end at this time today. Let them take some money to buy groceries. Buy a live chicken and then go to the restaurant to buy a roast chicken and a roast duck." Lin Qing He instructed.

"Alright." Zhou Xuan went to the clothing store to call them. While he was at it, he checked today's clothing store's account book.

These were all managed by him.

The shopping was left to the two girls. Hu Zi came over.

"Are Grandpa and Grandma over at my aunt's place?" Hu Zi asked.

"En. You can go and see them first." Lin Qing He nodded.

Hu Zi had gone to help clean the yard. He naturally knew the location. The young man was energetic and headed over by himself.

This year, Hu Zi had grown a bit taller. And also stronger.

When he arrived, it had Father Zhou and Mother Zhou delighted at sight.

"How have you been since you came to work for your aunt?" Mother Zhou jollily asked.

"Grandma, don't worry. Everything is fine. Look how much taller and sturdier I became this year." Hu Zi smiled.

"That's good. that's good." Mother Zhou repeated happily.

"Aunt said you'll take a rest here first. Sister Er Ni and the others have already gone to buy chickens. She personally cooking tonight. She had already started to cook dinner. In abit, we'll go there." Hu Zi stated.

"Fourth Sister-in-law is very tired when she came back on the road. How can I let her cook by herself? I will go over to help." Zhou Xiao Mei uttered at once.

"No need. You guys rest first. I'll go back and help." Zhou Qing Bai had returned with Su Da Lin from the shop and said.

Zhou Qing Bai headed straight to the dumpling shop. Lin Qing He was boiling water to prepare for the chicken feathers plucking. When Zhou Qing Bai came, he took over and said: "Go rest now, I'll do it"

"My dear, go rest. I'll do it~" Zhou Gui Lai, the naughty boy simperingly parroted his dad.

"From what I see, three days of no beating, you reach the roof!" Lin Qing He amusedly scolded.

Zhou Gui Lai grinned: "My dad loves you, Mom."

"Don't talk so much. Go pick vegetables." Lin Qing He waved her hand.

      1. Sorry about that! I'm not a professional like the disclaimer below said. Sometimes, I, myself, can't wrap my head around the Chinese grammar and switch it without ruining what it is trying to convey.
