BTTS 434

 Chapter 434. Eldest's return


No one knew Xu Sheng Mei went back in a fit of anger. Neither did anyone pay heed to her.

When Lin Qing He came back from the afternoon, she drank the chicken soup stewed by Zhou Qing Bai.

"My mother told Da Lin to bring it here." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Lin Qing He understood what he meant and gave him an eye-roll.

Because of her attitude towards Xu Sheng Qiang, as his grandma, Mother Zhou more or less had opinions. But at this moment she probably understood the situation, so she wanted to appease her.

If this were back when she was young, she wouldn't drink a sip of the chicken soup. But in a blink of an eye, she was almost forty.

At the beginning, she had stormed to find Father Lin and Mother Lim to sever the relationship. Also, when Father Lin and Mother Lin came to beg on old Second Lin's matter and pleaded for Zhou Qing Bai to fish him out.

At that time, Lin Qing He was particularly hard-hearted.

But in recent years, she had cultivated her moral character. After all, being easy to get hot-tempered and irritable wasn't good. Being calm and not irritable was the way to maintain good health.

So she didn't pay much heed to Mother Zhou. After all, though one needn't consider the face of the monk, one got to consider the Buddha's. As long as she didn't make irresponsible remarks in front of her, she would not mind the old lady on behalf of her Qing Bai.

"When we'll go in the afternoon?" Lin Qing He changed the topic.

"After eating and resting, we'll leave." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Zhou Xuan and the others came back soon. Zhou Qing Bai had already prepared the food and told Zhou Xuan to bring it to Er Ni, Hu Zi, and the others. Their family had their meal in the dumpling shop.

"Second watch the shop." Lin Qing He said.

"Mom, are you going to the swimming pool?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.

"You still have to go to class to study. You can't go. Playing ball after school is more like it." Lin Qing He waved her hand.

At this time, it was late May. There was still about half a month left before the day of the college entrance examination.

Zhou Gui Lai didn't mind, and said, "When I finish the exam, I will go every day." 
After that, he sighed again: "It's been a long time since I last swam."

"When you finish the exam, you will set up a stall with Hu Zi and sell clothes." Lin Qing He stated.

"You want me to go hawking?" Zhou Gui Lai's eyes widened.

"Or, you want to freeload at home and be a young master." Lin Qing He retorted.

She left him be and went back to the apartment building with Zhou Qing Bai to take a nap for half an hour. Then the two of them grabbed their swimwear and made theri way over.

Have to say, this year had really made a lot of progress. There were places like swimming pools.

Especially, since the young women were playing in the water in swimsuits.

"A yellow-faced woman like me can't compare to the young girls ah." Lin Qing He sighed after she arrived.

"Still a young girl." Zhou Qing Bai changed into his trunks and raised his eyebrows.

Lin Qing He jollily gave him an eye-roll. He always praised her and made her float a little bit from compliments.

But really, her skin was originally fair. After coming to the capital, the environment here nurtured people and became even fairer. She also paid attention to her figure.

So don't look at her being in her thirty-something, almost her forties, there was no excess fat on her waist.

In addition, with her extraordinary aura, she was very eye-catching when walking out in a female red swimsuit.

Of course, her family's Qing Bai wasn't much worst either. But in recent years, he had been a tendency to put on weight. There was some flesh around his belly.

Overall, he got a good physique.

The couple stretched for a while before entering the water. At most, they could only swim for two hours. They'll drink some water and eat snacks in the middle. Like that time the time will pass.

Although it was a direct route to here, it wasn't very close.

"I haven't exercised for a while, my body can't keep up." Lin Qing He swam back and forth, panting as she remarked.

Swimming was physically exhausting. Although the whole body can be exercised and was a particularly good sport, there was no doubt that it was easy get tired.

"Let's come more often in the future." Zhou Qing Bai felt that it would be great to bring his wife over to swim more often.

When her physical strength increases, he'll have the blessing to enjoy more. Otherwise, she won't be able to take on all the tossing around.

Lin Qing He didn't know what this man was thinking, and said, "I'll take a break. You can continue."

Zhou Qing Bai continued to swim. His swimming capability was very good. And because he often went back to play basketball and exercise, there was no need to say how good his physical strength was.

Compared with him, Lin Qing He, a teacher, was proper fighting trash.

After a long rest, she continued swimming again.

Despite the exhaustion, she felt comfortable after the swim. More importantly, the tickets were also cheap. Adults were only a dime and children were only five cents. One can stay from opening time in the morning until closing in the evening.

The couple went up to find a place to sit after they had finished swimming. Then grabbed apples from the bag to eat.

Lin Qing He didn't intend to continue. Her fingers were all wrinkled. Zhou Qing Bai continued to swim for several laps. Only then, it was considered finished.

The two went to change into clean clothes. They went home feeling refreshed with their bags.

"Let's go once a week in the future." Seeing her Qing Bai really loved it, she suggested.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai did love it and nodded.

"Eldest is coming back soon. When he comes back, let him come as well. He also loves swimming." Lin Qing He said.

Only then, she began chattering away. She estimated that Eldest was about to come back, but she didn't expect him to come back so soon.

In June, Zhou Gui Lai was going to take the college entrance examination. Zhou Xuan Kai returned during his college entrance examination.

"Why are you back so soon? Shouldn't it be a while longer?" Lin Qing He couldn't help being surprised when she saw her elder son watching TV on the sofa when she got off class in the evening.

Zhou Kai, who had was several degrees tanner, grinned. He poured a glass of water for his mother and replied: "I came back in advance and can stay here for half a month."

He had to go back in half a month. At that time, double the training.

"Finally, you can stay longer." Lin Qing He accepted the water and said, "Your dad knows that you are back?"

"Not yet, I headed straight home." Zhou Kai answered. He was too tired, so he came back and slept first. He just woke up.

Lin Qing He drank the water and sat down to ask about his life.

This time he came back, he was tanner than the last time he came back. Have to say, her 19-year-old son had really grown up now.

He seemed to be the kind that can go out independently and decide for himself.

"You become so sturdy. Seems like you suffer a lot." Lin Qing He remarked as her nose felt a little sour.

"What suffering? Training is what we supposed to do. Mom, don't worry about me." Zhou Kai assured.

Lin Qing He didn't continue and said, "Go. Head over to the dumpling shop. I have to buy groceries to cook up some good food for you."

Zhou Kai smiled and headed out with his mother. Zhang Mei Lian from next door came out at this time and encountered them. Lin Qing He and Zhou Kai ignored her.

"How is Grandpa and Grandma's body?"

"It's okay. There's no problem. Wait until after the meal before you go there." Lin Qinghe replied.

They arrived at the dumpling shop. She let Eldest nurture affection with his dad. Then she took the money and went to the market to buy more good food.

  2. Ah, I can't believe she's 40 already. This author does a good job of time feeling slow and fast, just like in real life.

  4. “But in recent years, she had cultivated her moral character. ”

    My eye started deceived me and I thought she was cultivating Qi haha. I thought thatThis novel was taking a sharp turn into some Wuxia like cultivation for a second there. Turns out our Mrs Lin is on her third life, her second was in a martial arts world and in the background of this story she’s been powering up and is now ready to uphold justice Hahahaha.

    Thanks for translating so diligently. Really remarkable stability and we all benefit from it.
