BTTS 447




 Chapter 447. More and more charming


Recently, a good few factories in the county city have closed down. All happened within this year.

And the factory where Su Da Lin used to work was one of them. His uncle's family all worked in that factory.

Now, they certainly became idle.

Lin Qing He said, "When I go back, I will talk to youngest sister."

Su Da Lin's uncle and aunt took care of their little family very much. They couldn't pretend to not know. They had to notify them two. As for how they handle it, it depends on Su Da Lin and his family.

After having dinner at Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law's side, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came to Third Brother Lin’s house.

There was no need for dinner there. Still, Third Sister-in-law Lin cooked mung bean soup as dessert.

After sitting with them for a long time, it was almost time to go to bed.

They went to bed early because Third Brother Lin will go out to the countryside to collect fruits and vegetables early in the morning.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went back to the guest room to rest. They were also tired, so the couple called it a day early.

The next morning, Third Brother Lin got up and the couple got up with him.

"Sister, Brother-in-law, go back to bed. It's still early." Third Brother Lin said.

Third Sister-in-law was giving him pancakes to eat and said, "It's still early at this moment. Third Sister, you guys rest more." It was about half-past five.

"No need. Let's take advantage of the early hours and go back to the village before it gets hot. Otherwise, my eldest sister-in-law and others would go to the field later." Lin Qing He responded.

She and Zhou Qing Bai went to brush their teeth together. Then they came to eat pancakes and porridge soup together.

When Third Brother Lin headed out, they pushed Third Brother Lin's bicycle and went out.

"Go ahead. Your brother-in-law and I will take our time." Lin Qing He said to him.

"Then I'll go first." Third Brother Lin nodded. His motorcycle speeded up and then drove away first.

Lin Qing He sat behind Zhou Qing Bai and they cycled slowly toward the village. saying, "Our hometown's development is also very fast."

Many things that were popular outside can be seen in the city. Very in trend.

"There are many more rich people." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Yesterday, he took Third Brother around to practice. He noticed a few cars and a lot of motorcycles. Those young women on the street, it seemed their mentality and appearance was different.

"I heard that there was heavy rain this year. The fields basically couldn't be harvested." Lin Qing He continued.

"Heavy rain?" Zhou Qing Bai paused.

"Third Sister-in-law told me that there was no harvest. Fortunately, only two counties were affected. The food was shipped from other places and no one was starved to death." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded. As long as it didn't cause too big of a disaster, it was fine.

"I heard that San Ni was also affected by the disaster. Then Lijiazhuang isn't a big place. I guess someone might point at her shortcoming." Lin Qing He mentioned.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. The niece was married, so it was up to her how she lives.

"I heard Third Sister-in-law say that Li Ai Guo was inquiring about the shop in the city. He probably planned to open a shop in the city," Lin Qinghe said.

"Isn't his leg bad?" Zhou Qing Bai remarked.

"Yes, his leg is. So if he goes to open a shop in the city, he can't compete. I wonder if they are willing to go with us." Lin Qing He told him her plan.

In fact, this niece, Zhou San Ni wasn't bad. She was raised into a withdrawn personality by Second Sister-in-law.

Now that she had her health was ruined and can't have a child, Lin Qing He felt that Zhou San Ni will have a new life if she goes to the capital.

Even if they move to the county city, the medical conditions wouldn't be as good as the capital.

If a woman does not conceive a child within three months after her marriage, then people would talk about it.

It was like this in the city, let alone the countryside. After all, there was very little awareness of contraception in this era and there was no such thing as a two-person world.

Also, it was the newlywed period. Usually, they will have children soon.

However, after Zhou San Ni married over, she didn't get pregnant and heavy rain occurred. It was a surprise that a good few people in the village criticized her.

"Go to watch the dry seafood shop?" Zhou Qing Bai understood her intention and asked.

"What do you think?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Not a bad idea." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

"The salary will be paid to them together. Seventy yuan a month." Lin Qing He stated, "But the discussion has to wait until I see them."

Zhou Qing Bai nodded. The couple returned to the village.

It wasn't early now. Many people who went to work in their own fields were almost done.

After all, the summer harvest wasn't harvested. They got to be diligent during this autumn harvest.

"Qing Bai, Teacher Lin, you are back?" Aunt Cai was carrying a lunch box. She uttered at once at the sight of the couple.

"Yes. Come back to the village to look around." Lin Qing He smiled and got off the bicycle, "Aunt Cai, where are you going?"

"Bringing breakfast to Zhou Dong." Aunt Cai said.

"Alright then. Aunt, you go first. Come over and sit at our home when you have time." Lin Qing He smiled.

Aunt Cai smilingly agreed. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai walked home. On the way, they met many people from the village and exchanged greetings.

Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother both went down to the field. Si Ni was left in charge of the house.

Si Ni was a young woman this year. Many people had their eyes on her. Who didn’t know that she was swift and tidy? The most important thing was the kind of reputation Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law had in the village. It was extremely good.

There was also Zhou Yang, her one-year younger brother. He was a college student .A well-known name.

How can the demand be bad?

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai passed by old Zhou's house first. So they dropped in old Zhou's house for a look. Zhou Qing Bai went in, while Lin Qinghe didn't.

Back then, because Zhou Liu Ni ran to the capital without permission, she and Second Sister-in-law's connection was torn apart. There was nothing to say.

Zhou Qing Bai went in and took a look. Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had gone to the field. There was no one home.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He came to First Branch's new home next.

They knew where Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law's land was. So when they looked for it, they found a brick house. It was truly fine quality. At least from the perspective of this time, it was a very luxurious brick house.

Zhou Si Ni happened to come out to pour water and she saw her fourth uncle and fourth aunt. Her eyes lit up: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt!"

"It's only been a year since we had seen each other. Si Ni is getting more and more charming." Lin Qing He smiled when she saw slim Si Ni.

"Fourth aunt, don't make fun of me." Zhou Si Ni smiled embarrassedly and said: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, come in and sit down. I'll make breakfast for you."

"Don't bother. We came back after eating in the city." Lin Qing He said: "Did your parents go down to the field?"

    1. 'her one-year-old younger brother' This sounds weird. But I can't give any better rephrase either... Anyone?

      2. That sounds as if her brother is one year old.

        What about 'There was also Zhou Yang, her brother who is one year younger.' or 'There was also her brother, Zhou Yang, younger than her by a year.'

      3. Yes, quite awkward sounding ๐Ÿ˜… why not used " a year-old young brother" since the younger bro is a year younger than her ๐Ÿค”
