BTTS 366




 Chapter 366. Beverage stop


"I made an arrangement with the photo studio tomorrow morning. At nine o'clock, we will all go over to take pictures." Zhou Gui Lai said at this time.

"Third paying?" Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"I'll pay then. I will be extravagant as well." Zhou Gui Lai replied indifferently.

He'll use his grandparent's new year's red envelopes, as well as his youngest aunt and his youngest uncle's ones. Granny Ma and Ma Cheng Min from next door also gave one.

There wasn't a big red envelope, just small ones.

Lin Qing He naturally gave Ma Xiao Dan a big one in return.

This was how the New Year red envelopes were. Almost an exchange. There were more or less some discrepancies, but it wasn't minded.

Unless it was a large gap. Then it'll leave some unease.

So this time, Zhou Gui made a lot of money despite receiving small red envelopes.

So this dolt took out a lot of money and invited everyone to take pictures tomorrow morning.

Naturally, Lin Qing He didn't have any objections. The red envelope was given to him and he can manage it by himself.

Everyone arranged for the meet-up. Wait at the photo studio at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

At this time, there were very limited photo studios. Just mention an address and it was easy to find.

They stayed there until after nine o'clock before Lin Qing He got Zhou Kai to send his god-grandfather bac. Then she brought Zhou Qing Bai and her two sons home.

"Would you like a bowl of glutinous rice balls?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Not eating. I'm so full tonight." Zhou Gui Lai answered.

Zhou Xuan also declined. Lin Qing He made herself and Zhou Qing Bai a bowl. These were glutinous rice and fragrant taro balls, which she made and kept for supper.

Slightly sweet, which was pretty delicious.

After eating, the couple went to wash up and then went back to rest. The brothers waited for their eldest brother to come back. Once he was back, they can continue to listen to his stories about the military academy until eleven o’clock before going to sleep.

'Eldest Brother is going to be a soldier. Second Brother is going to be a professor. I will do business.' Zhou Gui Lai thought happily during bedtime.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were in the room. Only now, they fell asleep.

They had been in the room for more than an hour and haven't slept yet. No need to ask what they were doing. In short, Zhou Qing Bai was very hardworking now.

No matter how sour and astringent the fruit was, Lin Qing He must eat it as she had planted the seed herself.

What can she do? Complyingly accompanied the hero and expressed her willingness to birth a daughter. As long as he fights out, she will give birth!

Zhou Qing Bai was very satisfied with her attitude. After finishing his work, he hugged his wife to sleep.

"Qing Bai, have you heard of this phrase?" Lin Qing He feebly uttered.

"Huh?" Zhou Qing Bai replied.

"There is only exhausted ox, and no badly plowed land." Lin Qing He said.

"In an acre, there's only so much land. I can handle it." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Listen to this. What bawdy words these are? Sure enough, her family Qing Bai learned to be bad now. Lin Qing He gave him a light hammer. Zhou Qing Bai laughed.

Lin Qing He slept in his warm and muscular embrace.

In the winter, she loved to sleep in his arms. His whole person was like a big stove, especially comfortable.

Zhou Qing Bai also enjoyed it. He could sleep very soundly while holding his wife.

At nine o'clock the next day, they headed over for photo taking. Because an appointment was made, they got right to business.

The photographer said it was also the morning. If they came over in the afternoon, who knows how long they'll have to wait.

They weren't the only family who took photos during the New Year. There were others.

For this photoshoot, Father Zhou, Mother Zhou, and old Wang put on all new clothes.

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "This is really exciting."

She hadn't taken a photo in her entire life. Only heard of it. How can she not be excited?

Before, Lin Qing He wanted Zhou Qing Bai bring his parents with them to shoot, but both of them refused. They really wanted to take pictures, but at that time the conditions weren't better than the present. So they didn’t want to waste money.

While now, it was no problem. They can take a picture together, even if it cost a lot of money. It was only once a year.

Just spend it.

First, the big family took a group photo, and then it was separated. There was Lin Qing He's family. The Zhou Kai brothers and their god-grandfather. Then with their grandparents. Altogether, it reached more than 20 photos.

They had a good splurge.

Su Da Lin and old Wang wanted to settle the bill. Zhou Gui Lai immediately declared, "Nobody snatch. I will pay this money this year!"

Then he went to checkout. He cleared out his last year's savings cleanly. Both pockets were empty. Afterward, when they got home, he brazenly asking for money to buy firecrackers.

Lin Qing He stingily gave him two dimes.

Of course, she didn't blame him for paying the bill. It was okay to splurge. As for more, don't about getting it.

At most, two dimes.

Zhou Gui Lai still wanted to pester for more. Lin Qing He paid him no heed. After lunch, she stated, "You can go enjoy the New Year by yourself. Just remember to come back for dinner at four."

On the first day of New Year, dinner was always very early. If one was hungry at night, eat some light supper.

All three boys went out. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai stayed at home waiting for relatives' and friends' visits.

When they heard that they came in the morning and they weren't home.

"The whole family including my parents-in-law and sister-in-law's family went to the photo studio to take pictures." Lin Qing He smilingly explained with a smile to Aunt Ma's words.

Those who came to visit were all from the small workshop. Ma Cheng Min and Aunt Ma also brought Ma Xiao Dan over.

It was very lively.

Lin Qing He had prepared all tea and snacks. It went without saying, one shouldn't lose courtesy when celebrating the New Year.

From one o'clock until almost four o'clock, they hosted their guests. Zhou Kai and his brothers came back to prepare for dinner. The others were similar position, so they all returned.

The family of five didn't go over to Su Da Lin to eat. They had their own meal. After eating, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went out.

The couple went to the movie.

In this era, watching movies was almost the only pastime. One can’t play other games.

Since the New Year holiday began, the cinema was basically full.

It was the same today. One had to come early, or else there will be no tickets.

The two watched the movie. When they came out of the cinema. there was nowhere to find a drink.

"Qing Bai, how about we buy a shop at this side and open a shop?" Lin Qing He also said.

Zhou Qing Bai looked at her: "What are you going to sell?"

"Let's buy some drinks and sell them. Also things like popsicles which can be sold when the time comes." Lin Qing He said.

There was nothing to buy here. She felt if they open one, there will definitely be some business. After all, to be able to come to watch movies at this time, they must be better off.

A movie cost two or three dimes. Most people were reluctant to come. She thinks it would be a good idea to open a beverage shop.
