Chapter 439. Person in love
Stewed pig's stomach in chicken was an excellent dish. Especially the soup, which was delicious.
Served with grilled dough, it was simple and comforting.
When the dinner was over, the clean-up was left to the children. Lin Qing He invited Father Weng father and Mother Weng to come over to the apartment building for tea.
Only then Mother Weng gave Lin Qing He the woody slices she had brought over, "These were sent by old Weng's nephew. He's in this business. They are pure wild ginseng from the Northeast. You take it to stew chicken to nourish Young Kai. I saw he came back a lot tanner and skinnier this year."
"There's no need to give him this. Take it back. You got Guo Liang and the others." Lin Qing He urged.
"There is still a little Korean one at home. I kept those for them. This wild ginseng slice is for Young Kai. You don't need to use a lot of it each time. Just put in a few slices. It will strengthen the body and increase the resistance." Mother Weng said.
Lin Qing He saw that she sincerely wanted to give it, she accepted it. She smiled and said, "I can't compare to your doting toward him."
"It's just some wild ginseng slices." Mother Weng smilingly replied.
"Old Weng's nephew does this business. How's the business?" Lin Qing He asked.
Father Weng answered: "It seems his business is so so. Those things are pretty expensive. Who is willing to eat."
"It can't be helped. These are rare things. Its base cost is there" Lin Qing He wasn't surprised. Still, generally, this kind of luxury goods was very profitable.
"The base cost is indeed high. I think the shop will end sooner or later if this continues." Father Weng said.
"It won't. From now on, everyone is getting richer and richer. In the past, the body was weak. Won't they have to make up for it? In the future, the business won't do badly. It will gradually get up. When the time comes, it will be an old-established shop with steady customers. He won't need to partner up with anyone in the future," Lin Qing He explained.
Father Weng paused for a moment before speaking, "A box of Korean ones only got a few strands and it costs more than 200 yuan. Who can buy it?"
"There's definitely someone who is willing to buy it. Manage it slowly. This kind of store takes time. As long as the quality is good, then it will be passed on through words of mouth." Lin Qing He assured.
Father Weng nodded.
The couple sat for more than an hour before they got up and went back. Lin Qing He sent them downstairs and turned around to go home.
Zhou Qing Bai and Zhou Kai didn't come back until about nine o'clock. Zhou Qing Bai only closed the store then. The business ended late during the summer.
"Your Aunt Weng is so thoughtful. She brought you a small pack of ginseng slices. It's pure wild ginseng slices." Lin Qing He told her eldest son.
Zhou Kai grinned, "You and Dad can have it. I don't need to eat this."
"I'll give you some and keep the rest for your dad to eat." Lin Qing He nodded. After all, he was a young lad and got no girlfriend. What was there to nourish? It won't be good to excessively nourish.
Leave it for her and her Qing Bai to occasionally stew some soup to get the supplement.
Speaking of nourishment, she'll go to the South this year to see if there are any fish gelatin and the likes. This was one of the eight treasures. An excellent source for collagen.
If there are, she has to buy some back. Also, those pilose antlers and the likes.
Zhou Gui Lai’s college entrance examination soon ended. On the second day after it ended, they found Wang Yuan and old Wang and squeezed a car to go to the hot springs.
Lin Qing He didn't stop them either. Go if they want. Relaxation was also good. Her third was going to college this year, so he should relax.
Lin Qing He finished her lecture early that day and came over to the clothing store. After checking the accounts, she talked about Wang Yuan with Zhou ErNi.
"Are there any specific plans?" Lin Qing He asked with a smile.
She could tell that Wang Yuan was really caring about her niece. There was no need to say that the whole family of old Zhou family liked Wang Yuan.
"Next year." Zhou Er Ni was feeling a little shy. According to herself, she wanted to date until the age of 22, but she couldn't win against Wang Yuan.
So she finally loosened her stance with Wang Yuan and said they'll marry next year.
"Then next year it is. You'll reach the legal age. There will be no problem getting the marriage certificate by then." Lin Qing He smiled.
She strongly approved of her niece’s marriage.
"Wang Yuan's family..." Zhou Er Ni was still a little hesitant.
"There is no such thing as a perfect marriage. It mainly depends on how you live your life and whether Wang Yuan loves you." Lin Qing He said.
Women have a lot of difficulties in their lives. What's more, women always like to make things difficult for other women. Same-sex repulsion was a matter that can't be helped.
Especially for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
In the eyes of outsiders, Mother Zhou wasn't bad as a mother-in-law. But Lin Qing He's hot temper cannot stand her. It was one matter to bring her over and be filial, but she had to be arranged far away.
"Wang Yuan bought a place near your grandpa and grandma's. I heard from your aunt that it's excellent. Spacious and nice. All the furniture is in place. Basically, you can live there in the future. Wang Yuan came out to set up a factory on his own. The two of you will only go back and have a look at the end of the year. As long as she isn't overboard, just open one eye and close another." Lin Qing He assured.
She felt that Wang Yuan was really good, so she said this. It wasn't easy to find someone better than Wang Yuan. This was said with conscience.
So without a perfect marriage, one can make themself better and stronger. No matter what external factors there were, it can be resolved.
Life was actually just like that. Having a good life was the main point.
"En." Zhou Er Ni nodded.
"However, what you shouldn't endure, don't endure, and make yourself suffer, understand? If it's overboard, retort back. Don't be polite with her." Lin Qing He advised.
Zhou Er Ni curled her lip into a smile. To teach her to do this, only her fourth aunt would
"This New Year, are you going to take Wang Yuan back home?" Lin Qing He asked.
"He mentioned it." Zhou Er Ni nodded.
Lin Qing He smilingly said: "That's fine. Take him back and let your parents see him. They had seen the photo, but it's not like seeing the real person."
"He mentioned it." Zhou Er Ni nodded.
Lin Qing He smilingly said: "That's fine. Take him back and let your parents see him. They had seen the photo, but it's not like seeing the real person."
Reaching this point, she couldn't help but chuckle: "The last time I talked to your mother on the phone, your mother seem satisfied judging by her tone."
Zhou Er Ni lips curled in amusement at the thought of Wang Yuan's showy appearance.
"Bringing him home is good. Wang Yuan is different from Zhao Jun. He loves you. Your fourth uncle and I had chatted with him. He isn't that kind of person. So don't worry so much." Lin Qing He comforted.
"En." Zhou Er Ni nodded.
She wasn't worried about these. Although Wang Yuan was six years older than her, he was undoubtedly mature and stable in front of outsiders. When he was with her in private, he acts shamelessly like he won't grow up.
But every time she thinks of him, she can't help but smile.
Lin Qing He felt relieved when she saw her niece like this. See, this was a truly person in love. How could Xu Sheng Mei and her reaction with Zhao Jun Qiang compare?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteI really like Er Ni. I wish her happiness.
ReplyDeleteI also wish Kai good luck...he'll need it when other guys start trailing after Mei Jia
See, I already had a feeling that Er Ni would compromise and that Qing He would be all for it. Where was the generational gap she always brought whenever she thinks women are allowing themselves to be oppressed due to societal norms of the era? Gone with the wind. Probably swept away the first time she half-sold Zhou Kai to his future in-laws. Yes, yes, it’s gonna happen. He’s being given no choice now and he will sooner or later compromise and they will say it’s true love, they’re childhood sweethearts, and it’s a good match.
ReplyDeleteSo frustrated, so unwilling but I can only accept it. Honestly, I really thought since their mother was from the modern era, they were raised with more progressive values than others, that they would be relatively free. I thought in finding a romantic partner, the kids would be at least like Wang Yuan - ventured out to start his own career, is successful and can stand on his own without their parents’ always guiding them, then meet someone, fall in love by themselves, then introduce her to their parents, unlike Wang Yuan’s mother, Lin Qing He would be more open-minded since I’m sure the girls they’ll bring back would be quite good. In reality, it’s like this.
Many times, Lin Qing He has stated that she trusts her sons’ gauge of characters and if they’re willing to interact then the other person must be of good character. Why can’t she just trust them to find their own love interests themselves? And they’re still kids with no awareness about love. They still want to focus on their goals. Love will come when it comes. Now she just wants to force that enlightenment early. Gosh, he’s still 19. True, other boys in the modern era his age already have history of dating, but it’s not like it’s bad to come later. I still want to see the kids build themselves up and achieve their dreams before being marketed off to be married or be forced to date.
