BTTS 343




 Chapter 343. Getting a call


Such a price was truly ‘sky-high’.

After all, how much did Third Brother Lin’s shop cost in the county city? How much was the one bought by Third Brother?

However, the capital was the capital. Even at this moment, it was just advocating that a portion of people get rich first and then those who hadn't yet later. The gap between rich and poor wasn't big, but some differences were really inherent.

The shop here was the price.

"It should be." Zhou Qing Bai gave the honest truth. What he didn't say was that if the owner didn't lack money, then maybe they won't sell it. He just looked at his sister and said: "Earn money with Da Lin. Even if you don't buy this, you have to buy one from elsewhere."

According to his wife, if one didn’t buy it these few years, it will become more and more expensive in the future. Especially with the real sky-high prices of later generations. In Zhou Qing Bai’s view, one got to get into business to be able to buy a shop. Or a house?

So he suggested his sister and brother-in-law to buy it quickly.

"Fourth Brother, are you and Fourth Sister-in-law planning to buy?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"Naturally, we got that plan. Once we have the money, we will buy Qing Bai's dumpling shop." Lin Qing He said without blinking.

Outsiders won't be clear about the dumpling shop's profit. The business at the clothing shop was very good. Usually, Er Ni keeps the account. The daily amount was large, but the capital had yet to be deducted. Although she knew it was profitable, the specific profit wasn't clear to her.

"Then we will work hard and see if we can buy one!" Zhou Xiao Mei declared seriously.

"This is too expensive. Wait and see later, if it'll get cheaper?" Mother Zhou said.

"It will only become more and more expensive in the future." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

After sitting here for a while, Zhou Qing Bai and Su Da Lin went to the bathhouse to take a wash.

Lin Qing He asked Zhou Xiao Mei and Mother Zhou if they want to go. Mother Zhou didn't. She just went with Zhou Xiao Mei.

Zhou Xiao Mei rubbed her sister-in-law's back first. Then Lin Qing He rubbed hers.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, is there any way to move our household registration?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

After she came to live here, she really liked this place. What's more, they already planned to buy a shop, so there was definitely no need to say where they'll develop in the future.

That's why she wanted to solve the household registration problem.

"It's not easy." Lin Qing He shook her head.

Regardless of whether it was in the future or the present, it wasn't easy to move a household registration.

"Stay as it is for now. There's no problem with the children's study and other things are affected." Lin Qing He said: "If there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Aunt Ma and Uncle Ma went through a lot to let Ma Cheng Min move back. She heard Aunt Ma say they spent more than two thousand yuan to successfully move the household registration back. It was almost all of the old couple's savings.

But now that he had moved back, the money was considered worth it.

But Lin Qing He did not want Zhou Xiao Mei to spend so much money to move the household account.

What can one do with this money? They'll talk about it later.

Zhou Xiao Mei naturally believed in her fourth sister-in-law and said: "Fortunately, have Fourth Sister-in-law here.  If not, us, husband and wife would definitely not dare to come over."

"Bear the hardship now and work hard with Brother-in-law. You won't be far behind in the future." Lin Qing He said.

It wasn't an easy matter for people to leave their homes.

But now was really a good time. Later generations will call this a golden age everywhere. In this era, even if one just opened a bun shop, one didn’t have to worry about transferring the money to long-term assets (real estate).

"En. Da Lin and I will do a good job." Zhou Xiao Mei nodded.

After a comfortable wash, they came out. Zhou Qing Bai and Su Da Lin were already waiting outside. Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin went back. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went home with their clothes bags.

"Eldest, that brat. Only sending one letter back in so long." Lin Qing He complained to Zhou Qing Bai on the way home.

After arriving at the military academy, he sent back a letter to report his safe arrival. After a few months, there was no news.

"It's strict over there. When there's no matter, it won't be easy to send news back." Zhou Qing Bai didn't find it strange.

Lin Qing He knew this too. But that stinky kid had been raised by her. Even when she had confidence in him, as a mother, she'll worry when he was thousands of miles away.

Although she appeared unaffected, how could she not worry in her heart.

But at this time, there were still many undercover agents. So the military academy was extremely strict.

So forget it.

But don't know if because the mother and son's heart were connected. After class the next day, Lin Qing He heard her colleague answer the phone and called her to answer the phone.

Once she heard it was her own stinky boy, Lin Qing He vented out: "You brat. You finally know to give us a call? Do you know how long you haven't contacted home? Don't you know your grandparents miss you? Do you still have home in your heart? Your wings grow strong and you want to fly, right?"

Zhou Kai didn't have a chance to speak when he was bombarded by his fierce mother.

Several students on his side couldn't help burst into laughter.

They received a kick from Zhou Kai. He rubbed his face and said helplessly, "Mom, there are classmates next to me."

"Hmph!" Lin Qing He snorted and said, "How are you doing over there?"

"Everything is fine here. Mom, you don't need to worry.  Have my grandparents all gone to the capital?" Zhou Kai asked.

"They are here. Your youngest uncle's family is also here. When are you on vacation?" Lin Qing He replied.

"Does Mom miss me?" Zhou Kai grinned.

"You stinky boy." Lin Qing He amusedly scolded. But she really did somewhat missed this smelly boy. Probably, due to being unaccustomed to this separation.

"We aren't on vacation yet. They let us rest for a half-day today. That's why I have time to call you, Mom." Zhou Kai said.

"Is the training so harsh?" Lin Qing He couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay. Not too harsh. I can bear it." Zhou Kai answered.

"Can your side acceot postal express delivery?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Yes." Zhou Kai nodded.

Lin Qing He spoke: "Then I will send you something in a few days. Remember to sign for it."

Then they talked about a lot of other things before she reluctantly hung up the phone.

The older female teacher next to her naturally knew Zhou Kai. It was difficult to not know since he made a big announcement throughout the school that Lin Qing He was his mother.

She smiled and said, "Miss him?"

"I didn't feel it when he was by my side before. This time he went to the military academy for a few months. Except for a report of safety, only heard from him today." Lin Qing He emotionally remarked.

"This child is very promising. There is no need to worry about him." The female teacher was also a mother. Her child hadn't been admitted here and was studying faraway. She had the same feeling and comforted.
