BTTS 350




 Chapter 350. Be serious


Lin Qing He's complexion was particularly great the next day.

Between Zhou Qing Bai's eyebrows, one can sense peace and softness. Discerning people can tell at a glance that this was a man with a happy family.

Zhou Qin Bai persisted in getting up early even until now.

Even though it was cold now, he still headed to the dumpling shop at six o'clock in the morning. It was inevitable that it'll disturb Xu Sheng Mei and Zhou Mei Ni who are still sleeping on the second floor.

That's why Xu Sheng Mei liked her grandparent's side.

It didn’t matter to Zhou Er Ni. She went to bed early. After returning from evening classes at night, she sometimes would go to the apartment building with Hu Zi to watch TV for a while. But most of the time she asked Hu Zi to send her back to the dumpling shop early to rest.

When Zhou Qing Bai came to open the door, start making the dough and work away, Zhou Er Ni would get up and set up the bed. Then she came down to help her fourth uncle.

When she was almost done with the work, she ate breakfast. Afterward, she went up to the second floor to study. Once it was time for work, she went to the clothing store to open the shop.

Life was completely a routine.

But have to say,  after coming over this year, Zhou Er Ni's aura had changed a lot.

Using Zhou Gui Lai's words, she appeared similar to his mother.

In fact, Zhou Er Ni wasn't copying her fourth aunt, Lin Qing He. But rather, Lin Qing He deliberately promoted this niece and taught her a lot.

However, Lin Qing He didn't show favoritism. Xu Sheng Mei and Hu Zi had also received her guidance.

Zhou Er Ni took in 80% and Hu Zi was 60%. As for Xu Sheng Mei,  it wasn't even 20%.

Her favorite thing was to watch TV. She had completed her work well. So Lin Qing He didn't say anything. Can only say that each person's pursuits were different.

After Zhou Er Ni came here, not only did her aura change a lot, she also grew taller. She was almost one point six meters tall.

Her skin had turned whiter.

If she goes back to the village again, it will definitely surprise people.

"After eating, go study." Zhou Qing Bai gave her a bowl of dumplings and said.

"En." Zhou Er Ni nodded. After eating meat and cabbage dumplings, she went to the second floor to study.

Zhou Qing Bai can handle it all by himself. He was used to it and was very orderly.

The dumpling shop's business was really stable now. It got a profit of more than 300 yuan a month.

Even when Zhou Qing Bai had done reselling with his wife, he would never look down on this income.

On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the dumpling shop's income, which was about ten yuan a day.

Xu Sheng Mei came over after eating at her grandparent's side.

When she came over and saw her uncle was busy in the shop, she helped out with bringing the dumplings to the guests. She displayed some hesitation.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't even ask. When nieces have a matter, they can find their aunt. He wouldn't intervene even when he was their uncle.

"Uncle, I...I want to talk with you about something." Seeing her uncle did not ask, Xu Sheng Mei hesitantly uttered.

"Tell your aunt." Zhou Qing Bai worked away without turning his head. He was in the middle of making dumplings.

Because the dumplings here were really good value, they were all famous in this area. As long as one wanted dumplings, they will definitely think of here.

Some people didn't come to the store to eat. They would come to buy raw ones and go back to cook them for themselves. Every day Zhou Qing Bai had to make a lot.

If Aunt Ma was here, she would wash her hands and help with wrapping when there is no washing to do.

The margin of a bowl of dumplings was so thin. To be able to make more than 300 profit in a month, raw dumplings was one of the reasons.

Xu Sheng Mei didn't expect that she would be blocked by her uncle before she said it.

"Uncle, I dare not talk about it with Aunt." Xu Sheng Mei pursed her lips.

Only then, Zhou Qing Bai looked at her: "If you don't tell your aunt, it's pointless to even tell me about it. Your aunt manages the family affairs."

Xu Sheng Mei felt that she couldn't continue this conversation today.

Uncle, can you be more courageous? Do you have to listen to Aunt on everything?

"Uncle, I don't know if there is a shortage of people here. Can my brother be recruited?" Xu Sheng Mei directly blurted.

Zhou Qing Bai responded, "Go ask your aunt."

Then he continued to make his own dumplings. No other words were said.

Although he didn't give any response to Xu Sheng Mei, Zhou Qing Bai told his wife about it when he saw her.

Lin Qing He stated, "There is no shortage of people here."

"En." Zhou Qing Bai nodded and said nothing else.

Lin Qing He's eyes twinkled at him, "What? Not going to say a few words?"

"You call the shots." Zhou Qing Bai said seriously.

Lin Qing He laughed and then stared at her own man: "Pay attention to whether there is any lamb. Buy some to nourish yourself."

"Not tired. I want more tonight." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and replied.

Lin Qing He gave him a light hammer: "Be serious."

But really, she liked how her Qing Bai treated her alone so amorously

It was snowing. Eating lamb was naturally excellent. It was very nourishing.

Because Lin Qing He wanted to eat lamb, Zhou Qing Bai naturally kept an eye out. The marketplace he goes to was going to get lamb. It was still a few days away.

Zhou Qing Bai found another store, which was also excellent.

As the old saying goes, pig's front, dog's behind, and the lamb's middle. [T/N: ???] 

Lamb's best part was its lamb chops. Zhou Qing Bai gained this knowledge from eating. He bought ten jins of lamb. All lamb chops.

Of course, he also bought mutton. He planned to add mutton dumplings to the dumpling shop's menu.

Lin Qing He had a fragrant mutton and radish soup on that day. It was especially delicious when served with the grilled one.

"Qing Bai..."

"Qing Bai, you so good. I want to eat lamb and went to make it for me." Before Lin Qing He's words came out, the mischievous brat Zhou Gui Lao parroted and continued her words in imitation.

Lin Qing He got goosebumps and glared at him: "Are you eating or not? If not, put down the bowl and go to the house to wash your grandparents' feet!"

Zhou Qing Bai blandly glanced at his son.

Zhou Gui Lai immediately expressed that he'll zip it and then picked up the bowl to eat his meal.

Lin Qing He harrumphed and said to Zhou Qing Bai: "Stroll around outside after eating?"

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. Then he ordered Second and Third: "Close at eight."

"Alright." The college freshman, Zhou Xuan nodded his head. While Zhou Gui Lai spoke, "Are you going to the movies? Take me with you."

"Go by yourself if you want to go." Lin Qing He waved her hand.

After eating lamb ribs and drinking mutton soup, they ate grilled chops. Only then, Lin Qing He's whole body was warmed up. Zhou Qing Bai was done eating too. The couple ignored the children and went out for a stroll.

"Such a cold snowy day. I admire them both." Zhou Gui Lai shook his head with a helpless expression.

    3. Thanks for the chapter. Wow, 300 yuan a month, 10 yuan per day, consider that ZQB only make a small profit on each dumpling and focus for more quality, how many dumplings did he make everyday? And he still have time to spend with LQH in the evening... just how did he do that.

    4. "pig's front, dog's behind, and the lamb's middle"

      1. Acredito que sua primeira suposição esteja correta, ele deve gostar da paleta e sobre-paleta do porco, as costelas do cordeiro e deve estar se referindo a anca ou lombo do cachorro, afinal, ainda hoje se come cachorro lá, está diminuindo mais ainda não acabou

    6. Pig’s front, dog’s behind, lamb middle may be referring to the meat cut of these animals that are considered the best, pig head and lamb chops for instance, for dogs... I never eat dog and will never do that, I am disgusted at the thought.

    8. That son has no personality outside of teasing his parents about loving each other. That's why I want something to happen. At least Zhou Kai got to go back home, even if it was forced from the situation, not because he actually wanted to. He had a couple of good lines from talking to his second aunt. San Wa has the same recycled line, very infrequently mentioning his friendliness/flirtiness with girls. Their heights are always mentioned even when there is no change like the author is afraid readers will forget, but that's the most boring of all.
