Chapter 448. Both hands up in agreement
"En, they went out early." Zhou Si Ni nodded.
"Are you looking after the house?" Lin Qing He asked.
"I have to look after the chickens, ducks, and pigs at home." Zhou Si Ni nodded.
Although she didn't need to go to the field, she was busy with all these things. There was also a little brother behind her.
First Branch got three daughters in front; Da Ni, Er Ni, and Si Ni and two sons behind.
However, Zhou Si Ni took on all the work at home. Fifth went to school.
Even so, Lin Qing He felt that Eldest Sister-in-law wouldn't refuse let this daughter, Zhou Si Ni go to the capital with them.
Because if Zhou Si Ni stayed in the village like this, she would stay for two or three years at most. Then she would also marry out. She wouldn't be able to stay at home to help out for a lifetime.
Some choices were also necessary.
But whether Zhou Si Ni goes or not, it was up to Eldest Sister-in-law. If Eldest Sister-in-law didn't want to, then it was fine. She won't force it.
But if Eldest Sister-in-law agrees, she will also arrange for Si Ni to go to night school. She will be developed as she works. She will be nurtured well.
Lin Qing He asked her for her opinion and said, "Fourth Aunt lacks some staff. I wonder whether you want to go there, Si Ni?"
"Go to the capital?" Zhou Si Ni froze.
"En. Be with your second sister." Lin Qing He nodded.
"I...I want to go, but I'm afraid no one will be home to do the work." Zhou Si Ni was very excited at first, but the next moment, she hesitated a little.
How can she not want to go to the capital? Her second sister was there. Her brother and Wu Ni had both been there. They said it was great when they came back. Naturally, she wanted to go.
But she never spoke about it because there were so many people over there. She was afraid that there will be too much pressure.
So she never mentioned it as her fourth aunt hadn't brought it up. She really wanted to go.
But she also had concerns. If she goes, what will happen at home?
There were now a few dozen chickens, a few dozens of ducks, and two pigs at home. All of which she needed to take care of.
There were also a lot of things in and out of the home to do. Basically, she can’t be free all day long.
Have to say, with such a capable girl like her, Eldest Sister-in-law only needed to do farm work with Eldest Brother outside. She can be very relieved when she went home as it was more relaxed.
"If you want to go with Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, then you can. As for the rest, we'll see what your mother thinks." Lin Qing He said.
She knew that Eldest Sister-in-law wouldn't stop her.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai let Si Ni work away and went home first. They cleaned up the house inside and out.
Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother both came back around ten o'clock.
Even when it was ten o'clock, the sun was very venomous at this time. They went out before dawn and finished their work early.
When they came back, they learned that Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were back.
"Catch a chicken from the backyard and killed it. I'll go look for Qing He." Eldest Sister-in-law said to Eldest Brother.
"Okay." Eldest Brother went to the backyard to catch a chicken. He told his daughter to boil the water to pluck the chicken feathers.
When Eldest Sister-in-law came over, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had finished cleaning up the house. Seeing Eldest Sister-in-law coming, she immediately grinned: "I estimate you and Eldest Brother are coming back soon. This sun is really poisonous."
"The heat is fine. Just don't follow be like last summer harvest." Eldest Sister-in-law smiled.
There were only seven or eight days before the summer harvest and out of nowhere the weather sky changed. All the grain in the first half of the year was ruined in the field.
So ah, they would rather the sun be harsher than it raining during the harvest.
"I only found out about the rain from Third Sister-in-law. I didn't hear you mention it on the phone." Lin Qing He pointed out.
"It's okay. We wouldn't have starved. Third Brother had sent a lot of food back." Eldest Sister-in-law laughed and said, "Come over to our place for lunch. Your eldest brother is killing a chicken."
"Yesterday at Third Sister-in-law's side, they also killed a chicken. After this trip back, we will be afraid of eating chickens." Lin Qing He joked.
"It's nothing. Since it's killed and eat it." Eldest Sister-in-law replied. Then she asked about Wang Yuan.
"At the end of this year, Er Ni will bring Wang Yuan back. Then you and Eldest Brother can see for yourself. Anyway, Qing Bai and I can't find any fault." Lin Qing He smilingly assured.
Now Wang Yuan had blended into old Zhou Family, her family's eldest thought he was very good. He had made a good few appointments with Wang Yuan to take a bath together several times.
Eldest Sister-in-law naturally trusted her sight. Although she was happy, she inevitably had some hesitation: "I'm just afraid of him looking down on our house."
"What is there to look down on? Qing Bai and I went to see it. It's spacious and clean. Who can dislike it? Moreover, Wang Yuan isn't that kind of person. Er Ni had refused him before and wasn't willing to marry him. It's him who is set on Er Ni." Lin Qing He said.
"Er Ni is worried that her family can't match him." Eldest Sister-in-law remarked: "I heard Er Ni say that his family seems to be not satisfied with her?"
"Don't worry about his family. If the two of them really match up, they'll separate out. Don't have to worry about anything." Lin Qing He said: "Also, it is possible to have everything perfect? Impossible. There's always some people who will be dissatisfied. They only need to live their life well. His family will only see them a few days in a year. Er Ni can bear it for a few days, right?"
Eldest Sister-in-law nodded.
"Sister-in-law, I want to discuss something with you." Lin Qing He changed the conversation's direction.
"Speak." Eldest Sister-in-law nodded.
"I still lack staff. I don't know if you are interested in letting Si Ni going over there with me?" Lin Qing He brought up.
Eldest Sister-in-law was taken by surprise: "There's still a shortage of people? I heard Er Ni said that you have hired a lot of people."
"I did, but there is still a shortage of staff. I find Si Ni is very quick. What's more, I watched her grow up. I know her character. If not, I wouldn't dare to say it." Lin Qing He said.
"If you are willing to take her there, then let her go. There no objection on my side." Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.
She wasn't boasting. Her three daughters, including her eldest before she married, were all masters of chores. There were no complaints about their character either. Their mind won't go astray.
"But I heard from Si Ni that there is still a lot of work at home." Lin Qing He pointed out.
"That's not a big deal. Let the crops all be managed by your eldest brother. At most, it'll hard on him. It's no problem for me to handle the matters at home. Since you are willing to take Si Ni over, how can we not agree? Both hands up in agreement." Eldest Sister-in-law responded.
"They are all my nieces. As long as she listen, I will train her like Er Ni when she's there." Lin Qing He stated.
Eldest Sister-in-law was overjoyed.
This fourth sister-in-law was willing to nurture her, she was naturally grateful and happy. Because this fourth sister-in-law was teaching college students at Bei University, there was no one who can educate better than her.
