BTTS 379




 Chapter 379. Full of youthful spirit


First Sister felt discomfort in her heart. Lin Qing He knew to some extent, but from the beginning to the end, she wasn't one who would care about other people's thoughts.

It was basically impossible for her to put herself in a position to think about others. Suitable ones her side will take. Not suitable, she won't even use even if they were her own sons. As for the explanation? There was none.

Lin Qing He planned to let Gang Zi come over. Once he becomes familiar, she would let his brother Hu Zi try to set up a street stall.

After exercising for a year or two, she'll see if Hu Zi had the intention to go out alone.

If so, she will support it.

As for the shop, just find someone else to watch it.

She brought these nephews and nieces over because she wanted them to catch up with this first-mover bus. Not because she wanted them to work for her a lifetime.

In a blink of an eye, it entered June. The college entrance examination arrived for Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni.

Because Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law were in the county city, both Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law didn't have to worry about Zhou Yang. They left it all to Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law.

The relationship between Third Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law was terrible, but it was still pretty good with Eldest Sister-in-law. What's more, the college entrance examination was a major matter, they naturally take care of it.

Because of the large number of subjects, it took three days for the exams to be completed. After the exams, Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni gave it their all.

During the college entrance examination, they were extremely nervous. Now that it was over, they can naturally take a good rest.

But whether it was Zhou Yang or Zhou Wu Ni, they started to prepare to go to the capital once the vacation began.

When Zhou Yang got home, Eldest Sister-in-law told him to take the Gang Zi with them.

So Zhou Yang came to his second aunt's house to inform him to prepare as they will go to the capital together tomorrow.

After all, they'll be on the road for so many days. This summer vacation was a little longer, but if they can pass the exam, they will have to report to the university in advance. Therefore, there won't much time left.

So after the exam, they were off for vacation. Naturally, they have to depart for the capital as soon as possible.

As for the results, they can just call back home when it was time.

So on the second day after the college entrance examination, the experienced Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni brought Gang Zi, who traveled for the first time, to the capital.

Regardless of whether it was a bus or a train, for Gang Zi, it was like a grown girl getting on the sedan chair for the first. Simply a novel experience.

He looked forward to the future in the capital even more.

He was thinking if the capital city was wonderful, then he will settle there in the future. He will work for his uncle for a lifetime!

Due to this year's college entrance examination, so their vacation came early.

When Zhou Yang, Zhou Wu Ni, and Gang Zi arrived, Lin Qing He hadn't got her holiday break yet. It was another half a month or so before it starts.

Lin Qing He was delighted when the three came over.

She requested Zhou Qing Bai to add three more dishes on top of the usual ones. Beverages were also served. It was considered  a welcome banquet.

During the meal, it was very lively. Xu Sheng Mei wasn't present. When Zhou Yang and the others came, the clothing stores were all off work. Xu Sheng Mei had already gone to her grandma's side.

She didn't know that people had come over.

But never mind about her. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou would exclude her share of food. So they didn't especially fetch her.

"Go to drop by your grandparent's side. Then grab some clothes to go to the bathhouse." After the meal, Lin Qing He waved her hand and instructed.

Zhou Xuan stayed back to clean up. Zhou Gui Lai, Hu Zi, and Zhou Er Ni took them over.

Once they got to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were naturally delighted to see their grandchildren, who had finished their college entrance examination and grandson from daughter's side.

"Have you eaten?" Mother Zhou asked at once.

"We've eaten over at my uncle's place. It was a huge feast!" Gang Zi replied.

His third brother really didn't deceive him. The food was so wonderful that it made him moved. There was fear of his appetite. Guaranteed to fill his stomach!

Zhou Xiao Mei was also overjoyed and said: "I'm not surprised that Yang Yang and Wu Ni are coming over. Gang Zi, why is your mother willing to let you come? The summer harvest is just around the corner."

"Aunt requested me to come over. My mother agreed of course." Gang Zi gave an astonishing response.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou' were both taken aback. They thought that their grandson was here to explore. Fourth's wife allowed Gang Zi to come?

"I haven't heard Fourth Sister-in-law mention this. Which shop are you going to be at? It seems that there is no shortage of people?" Zhou Xiao Mei looked at Huzi and asked.

"I heard from Aunt that she want Gang Zi take over my spot and let me go out to set up a street stall. Gain some courage." Hu Zi said as he scratched his head.

He felt that he got a lot of courage but apparently, he hadn't reached his aunt's requirements. So he still needed to keep training.

"Then listen to your aunt." Zhou Xiao Mei uttered.

Her fourth sister-in-law's arrangement can't be wrong. She must have her own reason.

"Since you came, you have to work hard. Thankfully Sheng Mei isn't here, otherwise, there will be some opinions." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.

"What opinion can Sheng Mei have?" Mother Zhou said.

"First Sister wanted Sheng Qiang to come, but Fourth Sister-in-law didn't agree. Now Gang Zi is allowed to come. How can First Sister and Sheng Mei not have opinions?" Zhou Xiao Mei directly pointed out.

She felt that her fourth sister-in-law was doing a thankless matter since a lot of trouble was stirred from promoting their own family.

"If they are capable, then they do it. If not, don't come." Father Zhou said calmly.

"The relationship between your fourth sister-in-law and your eldest sister isn't bad. It must Qiang Zi's personal faults otherwise why would your fourth sister-in-law let Sheng Mei come and not let Qiang Zi?" Mother Zhou added.

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and preached in front of everyone, "Fourth Sister-in-law isn't one to explain anything to others. She studied by herself without letting the whole village know. People thought she was the laziest woman in the village. It used to be like this, and it is still like this now. Fourth Sister-in-law is really good. As long as one doesn’t slack off, she values all of you equally, whether you're a nephew or a niece. Just hope you young people won't have discomfort in your heart and hurt Fourth Sister-in-law’s heart for nothing.”

"Aunt, such thing won't happen." Zhou Er Ni shook her head.

"That's right, Aunt. You don't have to worry about this." Hu Zi hurrily assured.

Aunt had always been strict and impartial. Still, whether she treated them well, they know in their hearts. Even Hu Zi somewhat admired by his aunt.

Even when he hadn't seen many women in his life, he knew very well that it was hard to find a woman like his aunt in the big world out there. Definitely difficult to find.

And dissatisfaction? There was really none.

Only after watching them express their opinions one after another, Zhou Xiao Mei didn't continue. Then she remembered. She asked, " Oh right, where is Sheng Mei?"

"She went to next door. Old Madam Hu asked her to help with the soles of the shoes. Her eyesights are blurry." Mother Zhou answered.

Since she went to the next door, she didn't look for her anymore. The group of youth sat there for a while before heading to the bathhouse with their bags.

They chattered and laughed along the way. It was so lively. So full of youthful spirit.

      1. I think Sheng Mei also has those thoughts since she’s usually so lazy but puts up a front of being gentle and diligent to the old lady Hu from next door.

    4. Ah these group of children are growing so well! (Minus the odd one 😅) I hope they grow up and branch out and make their auntie proud by becoming their people with their own thoughts and ambitions like the three dumplings at home later on 🥰

    6. If the neighbours think that by marrying that girl they will get family connections, they are in for shock. MC doesn’t play like that.

    7. И никто даже не поинтересовался, где Шэн Мэй. Я надеюсь, она не сделает глупость? просто разговоры с парнем, это одно, может они друг другу понравятся и поженятся. Но секс в то время до брака - это громадный риск для девушки.

      1. I don’t think old lady Hu wants them to mess around. She wants her grandson and Sheng Mei to be in a legitimate relationship since she wants to make connections with Qing He and also because Sheng Mei pretends to be gentle and diligent in front of her. The old lady’s is digging a pit, with Sheng Mei helping her on the side, I don’t think it would take long to fit Sheng Mei perfectly. By then Sheng Mei will jump in by herself.
