 Chapter 582. Don't love home


After eating a meal, Deputy Chief Jiang didn't rush away today. He stayed and watched TV together.

Jiang Geng was studying. He asked when he didn't get something. Zhou Xuan would basically give pointers right on point. Afterward, he would give out a few questions.

Xue Mei Li looked very envious and spoke: "His second brother is really amazing. What do he want to do in the future?"

"He hadn't thought about it yet. Wants to continue studying." Lin Qing He replied.

"Want to continue studying? What's above college graduate?" Xue Mei Li blurted. She had only graduated from the junior high year three. Of course, for this generation, that was already very good.

"Postgraduate." Lin Qing He answered.

Xue Mei Li felt that it was very high. Deputy Chief Jiang spoke, "If he can, do it."

It wasn't that it was easier to say when not in their shoe. If his son can reach that high, then he is willing to support. The key point was that he knew his own son.

"Dad, can go to the capital for university?" Jiang Geng brought it up at this time.

Deputy Chief Jiang nodded and said: "If you have the ability to get admitted into the capital, you can naturally go study. It just so happens that your godparents are there."

He had no objection. However, Xue Mei Li did, "Is the university here in Hai City not enough for you? Do you have to go all the way to the capital?"

"Mom, don't worry if I go to the capital. There's my godmother and godfather." Jiang Geng assured.

"Your godmother and godfather will be busy at that time. Don't bother them." Xue Mei Li said.

"Can't be considered as bother." Lin Qing He smilingly spoke.

"You don't know how mischievous this stinky boy is. The university here is also pretty good. What's more, I'm still worried that he won't pass the exam here. So that is so far-reaching." Xue Mei Li maintained.

This was the end of the story.

However, when they went home and closed the door at night, Deputy Chief Jiang said to her: "If Xiao Geng can pass the exam, it's okay to let him go to the capital to study."

"He's been by our side since young. I can't bear even if you are willing. When he go there, how can I take care of him?" Xue Mei Li responded.

"When he's in college, why would he need you to take care of him? He should learn to take care of himself. His godparents are there, what is there to worry?" Deputy Chief Jiang spoke.

He was very satisfied with Zhou Family as relatives. No fault to pick out.

Naturally, Xue Mei Li wasn't worried about Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai not taking care of their son. The main reason was that she was reluctant to separate from her son.

"Isn't Hai City a good choice too? If Xiao Geng wants to go to the capital, isn't it enough to go during summer vacation?" Xue Mei Li persisted.

"I can see Xiao Geng wants to go there very much. Look at him tonight. He wasn't energetic at all. I am worried that it will affect his studies. And boys, you can't always restrain them by your side. Look at his second brother and third brother. Which one isn't independent when out alone?" Deputy Chief Jiang said.

Otherwise, why would he say that he had a particularly good impression of Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai. Since they can educate their children so successfully, there was nothing to say about his character. Otherwise they can't raise them like this.

His parents were also full of praise. Saying that Old Zhou Family was pure and upright. Full of scholarly air and a veritable scholarly family. One should interact more with this family.

That was thanks to Mother Zhou.

When old Madam Jiang was over there, Mother Zhou had talked about the family affairs, right? She didn't talk about matters back in the countryside. Just mentioned that it wasn't only her eldest son who had college student, her third son's family had female college student. Let alone, Fourth's Family, which was full of college students.

Old Madam Jiang was envious. Her family hadn't had a college student so far. Deputy Chief Jiang had graduated from high school.

Eldest Grandson was currently freshman in high school. So there was no college student. And how many college students were there in this old Zhou Family?

According to the gold value of college students of this era, it was not too much to say they were a scholarly family.

Therefore, Deputy Chief Jiang hoped that his eldest son will get along with that side. If he can, he follow the same path as his eldest god-brother in the future. See if he can be arranged into the team.

He had retired from that side for many years. So he had no connections.

Xue Mei Li was a little worried by what he said and spoke, "Will this affect Xiao Geng's study?"

"Just tell him, if he has the ability to get admitted to the capital, you promise to let him go. You can listen to me and it won't end badly." Deputy Chief Jiang stated.

He rarely interfered with these issues. After all, he was very busy, especially since he may be promoted this year.

But it was about his son's future. So he opened his mouth. Let his son interact with his godparent' family more. It was good for his son. First of all, his perspective will change.

Although Xue Mei Li was reluctant, she nodded because she was afraid that her son would be affected.

The next morning she told Jiang Geng, who was still a little languid. Jiang Geng became exhilarated. He declared he would definitely get a good result in the exam!

Starting today, he will go to his godmother to do his homework!

"Brat, don't love home at all nor reluctant to part with your mom!" Xue Mei Li saw that her son was happy to go out and uttered with accusation. He ran off to his godmother's with a schoolbag without even eating. 

"I can't bear to part with Mom." Jiang Yu said while hugging her mom's calf.

Xue Mei Li was in a good mood. She picked up her daughter and went to watch TV.

Jiang Geng came over this side and had breakfast with them. He told them what his mom had promised.

"Courage is commendable, but it's not easy to get admitted into the capital. Your current grades are still too far apart." Lin Qing He said.

"It's okay. I didn't study before. I will study hard from today!" Jiang Geng stated.

"Then study. Your godmother wants to rest. If you don't understand, leave it until Second Brother return and ask me." Zhou Xuan said. He wants to go to other places to explore. After all, it was a rare trip to Hai City.

"Go play. Can I get tired?" Lin Qing He dismissed.

Zhou Xuan smiled. He went out with a backpack on his back. Once again, he ran into Guo Miao Jun, who tried to strike up a conversation with him.

Zhou Xuan politely greeted in response and left. He decided to ask his mom when he gets back how their relationship was like with this neighbor.

Guo Miao Jun was a bit disappointed. She didn't expect that so little words were exchanged and he left.

Today, she specially dressed up, put perfume on her face, borrowed little leather shoes from her sister, borrowed her skirt from her classmates, and washed her hair yesterday...

"Miao Jun, why are you standing outside the door?" Old Madam Jiang came back with a vegetable basket and said.

"Granny Jiang, I just came out to take a look." Guo Miao Jun knew her relationship with Zhou Family and smilingly replied.

Old Madam Jiang swept a glance over her and casually remarked, "You're beautifully dresses today. Where are you going?"

"Nowhere." Guo Miao Jun smiled while her heart couldn't feel happy. Just now, that person didn't look at her much.

However, she looked at him. He looked really sunny. As expected of someone who grew up in the capital. Such good aura.

     Chapter 581. Parenting


    Old Madam Jiang asked how Lin Qing He raised them: "Second and Third's height. They can really grow."

    In future generations, they were all tall let alone now where people were generally malnourished. This height was definitely eye-catching.

    Lin Qing He took in her interest and told her about the matters during their childhood.

    Only then did old Madam Jiang knew that she wasn't a native of the capital. She had passed the exam and graduated early to work with the college's permission.

    "You are truly capable." Old Madam Jiang admired.

    Sure enough, marrying a wife was very important to a man. It can bring success to few generations.

    Lin Qing He smiled: "I'm not capable. It's mainly because my Qing Bai support me back then. The whole village called me lazy."

    "You got through it now. You'll be relaxed in the future." Old Madam Jiang comforted.

    She had went to the capital and broaden her horizon. They got a good few shops. She really climbed out to the top.

    Lin Qing He internally remarked that it was quite relaxed since the beginning. But now that there was more flesh in her stomach, she can't.

    It was easy to raise a child in the aspect of food and drink. But minding them, only those does it, understood.

    However, Lin Qing He didn't express she she didn't want it to everyone she met. It was already here and quietly growing in her stomach. So how can she not keep?

    As for whatever fruit of the love between her and Zhou Qing Bai, it didn't exist. The three sons were also her own. There was no estrangement.

    Old Mister Jiang had went out. When he came back, he brought back oilpaper-wrapped baked stuffed sesame biscuit.

    Lin Qing He grinned: "Uncle, why do you buy so much baked stuffed sesame biscuit."

    "If you like it, eat it. Second hasn't tried it yet. He said he really wants to taste it." Old Mister Jiang responded.

    During today's trip, he had a wonderful impression of the two Zhou brothers. What's more, they were veritable relatives. They must be close.

    He saw them as his younger generation. If they want to eat it, he'll buy it.

    Lin Qing He amusedly scolded: "He got such big face. Let him buy if he wants to eat. He hadn't bought anything to honor you and got you to buy it for him to eat instead."

    "It's just some baked stuffed biscuit. During the few days of our trip, it was Second who dug out his wallet for everything. He didn't let us pay." Old Madam Jiang said.

    Lin Qing He didn't say anything. She was craving for it too. So she took one and end up eating a few. She really couldn't stop her mouth. Afterward, she went in and poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

    Zhou Qing Bai drove back home around eleven o'clock. He explored around to see if there was any shops and property in good location to buy. He made an appointment today, but will check it out tomorrow.

    Second brought Jiang Geng back at noon and ate at home. "Hai City isn't any worse than the capital. The cars on the street are even more bountiful."

    At this time, Hai City relied on the developed maritime transportation. Needless to say, later time it will still develop.

    Lin Qing He spoke: "Going out by yourself these days. Xiao Geng has to start studying."

    Jiang Geng instantly had a bitter face: "I haven't fulfilled my host job yet. When Third came, I walked around with him."

    "Your second brother is an adult. Are you afraid that he will be lost? You should hurry up and study." Lin Qing He ushered.

    "Godmother, can I go to the university in the capital in the future?" Jiang Geng asked.

    "That's not a problem. If you like, you can take the test. Of course, you have to discuss it with your parents. Still, if you get admitted into the capital, Godmother will take care of the food and accommodation." Lin Qing He raised her brows.

    Jiang Geng grinned. Then he frowned again: "I'm afraid my mom won't agree. She wants me to enter the university here."

    "Your mom is a mom. I am also a mom. I definitely understand that feeling. You can properly talk with your mom. Godmother can't help you on this. If it doesn't work out, you can go over during the summer vacation. Call in advance and get your second or third brother to pick you up." Lin Qing He responded.

    "How long is the summer vacation? I want to go there again." Jiang Geng said.

    In the evening, Xue Mei Li and Deputy Chief Jiang brought Jiang Yu over. With them, was a lot of groceries.

    "Bringing yourself is enough. Why get Xiao Geng to come and say you'll take care of the groceries in the morning. Are you afraid that you will eat us poor?" Lin Qing He uttered.

    "Not afraid of eating you and old Zhou poor. Just can't always freeload." Xue Mei Li grinned.

    "Leave it to you men." Lin Qing He turned to Zhou Qing Bai, Deputy Chief Jiang, and Second.

    "This is Xiao Geng's Second Brother? He looks handsome too." Xue Mei Li noticed Zhou Xuan and exclaimed.

    "Auntie overpraised. Completely inherited from my mom." Zhou Xuan modestly responded.

    Xue Mei Li jollily said, "Ain't that right. Xiao Geng's Third Brother look like your dad. You look like your mom. Still, everyone is beautiful. Both lads looks energetic. I have to ask your mom for advice. How did she raise you?"

    "Alright. Slowly chat, Auntie. We'll work away." Zhou Xuan grinned.

    Then he led Jiang Geng in to work with his dad and Deputy Chief Jiang. They brought a lot of ingredients over. There were also the seafood prawns and the likes his dad bought in the morning.

    Xue Mei Li was extremely satisfied and commented: "My eyes wants to feast on your two sons. I haven't seen your eldest yet. I look forward to seeing him."

    "He looks a bit like Third. Just a little taller and more serious." Lin Qing He smiled.

    "How did you raise them? Every one of them is so tall." Xue Mei Li said.

    The young lads looked youthful like they should. Filled with spirit. At first glance, they seems like great youth.

    "Drink more milk. The rest is have three meals a day. Like whole grain steamed buns or noodles, etc. No restraints. Then play basketball and football. More outdoor activities." Lin Qing He noticed she really wanted advices and told.

    Three sons were so tall. Lin Qing He truly raised them in this way. What's more, the condition was only so much back then. She insisted not to let them go hungry. Tried to eat meat and eggs as much as possible.

    "According to their age, the condition back then wasn't easy." Xue Mei Li said.

    "Yeah. I spent all my teaching salaries on them. There was no money left. My mother-in-law had always nagged me to keep some money for them to marry a wife." Lin Qing He responded.

    "Then why didn't you keep?" Xue Mei Li asked.

    "Why keep? Raise Xiao Geng well so that he can grow into a man who can support his family. Would there be any worry about marrying a wife in the future?" Lin Qing He asked rhetorically.

    Xue Mei Li nodded: "This is correct."

    "I will train them to study. Of course, the chores that should be done must also be done. Can't only focus on education. Multi-aspect development is the most beneficial to them." Lin Qing He said.

    In terms of education, Xue Mei Li was naturally incomparable with Lin Qing He. Still, she was willing to listen to Lin Qing He. It was all about experience.

    Especially since the three children were so excellently nurtured.

    AKIT7 21




    Chapter 21

    Da Qiao was wearing a red cotton jacket made for her by her grandmother. She also wore a red cotton cap. Her whole body was red and plump. From a distance, it looked like a little red meat ball. Quite a cute sight.

    She held her grandmother's hand and said in baby voice: "Grandmother, after the pork, is divided, can we make, pork dumplings?"

    She especially liked to eat dumplings. Pork dumplings in particular. She ate two of them during the New Year last year. The flavor was so fragrant that she almost swallowed her tongue.

    Just thinking about it now, she couldn't help but want to drool.

    Qiao Xiu Zhi suddenly looked down at her when she heard these words. A flash of surprise flicked in her eyes.

    Da Qiao thought that her request was too much. She pulled a corner of her clothes with a small hand and whispered nervously: "It's alright if you don't do it. Actually, I don't really want to eat, Grandmother. Don't be, angry with me. "

    Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't angry at her at all. She was surprised that Da Qiao's stutter seemed to improve.

    Da Qiao's stuttering was natural and was a bit serious. She discussed with Xue Chuan and planned to take her to the hospital for an examination after the New Year. Unexpectedly. she showed signs of improvement!

    This was really unexpected!

    "Grandmother isn't angry with you. Grandmother was thinking how many dumplings to make to feed your little belly just now."

    However, she didn't point it out. She was worried that once she mention it, the child would instantly become nervous.

    The child's mind was a little sensitive. It made people feel distressed when she speak so cautiously.

    Da Qiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.

    There was indeed no sense of security in her heart. She was always worried that if she didn't do things well, her grandmother and grandfather will not care for her.

    She revealed her little shell teeth and smiled a little shyly: "I only eat five. That's enough."

    Qiao Xiu Zhi raised her eyebrows: "Five? Is it enough to pick your teeth?"

    Dumpling Da Qiao pursed her lips and thought about it seriously. Then she stretched out two short fingers and declared: "Then add two more."


    Qiao Xiu Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "You can eat as much as you want!"

    Da Qiao looked at her milk. Her eyes curved into crescents and smiled as if she had the most precious treasure in the world.

    The threshing yard wasn't far away. It took about ten minutes walk.

    When Da Qiao and her grandmother arrived, many people were already standing in the threshing yard.

    Everyone was shivering. Their faces flushed from the cold wind. Still, their faces was covered with joy. Their speeches were a little more gentle than usual.

    According to the tasks assigned by the community, each production team must raise at least two pigs. Qili Village had raised a total of six pigs this year.

    The point was that all six pigs nurtured alive!

    In addition to handing in three task pigs to the country, the remaining three pigs belong to the production team. Today, the three big fat pigs will be slaughtered and the pork will be distributed to the villagers according to headcount.

    At this time, the three big fat pigs had been killed and cleaned up. They were all placed on the stone slab.

    The villagers have been looking forward to this day for a year. All of them had their eyes on the pork on the stone slab. Their eyes shone green.

    The production team leader, Wang Shui Sheng stood on a big rock with the roster and shouted loudly: "Don't rush. Don't grab. Everyone has a share! I know everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time, so I won't talk nonsense. The pork division begins!"

    Everyone was very satisfied with the production team leader's "awareness of current affairs". Dividing the pork was dividing the pork. Don't pull in some nonsense.

    "Old Fourth Cai, sixteen jins of pork!"

    "Received!"

    "Wang Lao Gen, twenty jins of pork!"

    "Okay!"

    "Lin You Shui, ..."

    The roll call and pork collection were carried out in an orderly manner. No one quarreled.


    Although Wang Shui Sheng wasn't a charismatic leader, he had done a fair and just job of dividing the pork.

    All pork was fat and lean were paired up. No matter who, they can get fat. This way, no one would fight or snatch.

    When it was Fang Family's turn, old woman Fang was very proud. She held sixteen jins of pork with her head up and her chest puffed like a victorious rooster: "Oh, so much pork. I'm really afraid that we won't be able to finish it!"

    Some people can't help but curl their lips. What fart. It was just sixteen jins of pork. How can they not finish eating!

    This time there were three pigs in total. Each head was allocated two jins of pork. So each household received a lot of pork. Fang Family's sixteen jins of pork was neither too much or too little.

    She showed off because her family had two more people than the previous years. In other words, four jins extra of pork!

    Old woman Fang felt that her family had taken a big advantage. Her daughter and granddaughter had only returned home less than a month. They brought fifty yuan. Now there were four jins of pork. They had taken over Qiao Family's benefit!


    Mother Fang was fed a mouthful of chicken poo that day. She didn't dare to find Qiao Xiu Zhi and repay it back. But that didn't mean she didn't hold grudges. On the contrary, she remembered the grudges firmly.

    So even when it was little benefit now, she had to sing it out for everyone to hear. It was best that it could piss off that old witch, Qiao Xiu Zhi!

    Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't give old woman Fang a glance at all.

    There were ten people in the Qiao's old house. They got 20 jins of pork. With the addition of the Qiao's small house, Qiao Family got a total of 24 catties of pork. This number completely crushed Fang Family!

    Soon it will be Qiao's turn. She lowered her head and told Da Qiao: "Grandmother is going over to get the pork. Wait here obediently. Don't run around, understand?"

    Dumpling Da Qiao obediently nodded: "I'm very good. Grandmother, don't need to worry."

    After Qiao Xiu Zhi left, Da Qiao stood obediently in the corner as she waited quietly for her grandmother to come back. Unbeknownst to her, someone had already been eyeing her.

    Fang Xiao Juan stared at Da Qiao viciously. She wished to step forward and slap the calamity to death!

    In less than a month, she and Xiao Qiao fell down one after another. Fell until their teeth flew off. All of this was due to that calamity Da Qiao. Their bad luck was related to this calamity!

    Her gaze fell on the red cotton-padded jacket on Da Qiao's body. Flames almost bursting out of her eyes!

    Jiao Jiao can't wear such good clothes. Why can this catastrophe wear such good clothes?

    Also, Jiao Jiao'er got smeared on the face with chicken poo by old witch Qiao Xiu Zhi. Wasn't it due to this calamity not willing to give her clothes to Jiao Jiao'er?

    Fang Xiao Juan looked up and noticed Qiao Xiu Zhi won't be back in a short while. She immediately rushed up, poked her finger on Da Qiao's face, and cursed: "You black-hearted thing, take off your clothes and give it to me immediately!"

    Da Qiao was startled by her mom. Her small body took two steps back before she could stabilize herself.

    She pinched her eyebrows and looked up at her mom. With a pursed small mouth, she gathered up the courage to refuse and uttered, "No!"

    Fang Xiao Juan was stunned.

    She didn't expect that this little stutter would actually rebel against her!

    After she recovered her senses, she instantly became furious from embarrassment: "You are a white-eyed wolf. I gave birth to you and raise you for so many years. Back then, I bleed a lot to give birth to you. And this is how you repay me?"

    "I knew that day, I would have strangled you, so that you won't piss me off now! I order you to take off your clothes immediately and give it to me!"

    In the past, no matter how bad Fang Xiao Juan treated her, Da Qiao had always maintained a sincere heart towards her mom. Hoping that one day her mom would like her and dote her like Xiao Qiao.

    But after drinking the melted jade bead water these days, her confused and ignorant mind seemed to pushed through the clouds and instantly became clear.

    Many things that she didn't understand before gradually made sense.

    If she had encountered this situation before, she would be sad and lost. But now, a new thought that she had never had before popped into her mind: she felt that her mom wasn't a good mom. A good mom would not treat her own child like this!

    So she didn't want to give her the clothes. She don't want to follow her instructions!

    Da Qiao's palm-sized face was flushed. She looked at her mom with clear eyes and firmly refused again: "No! You are a bad mom! I don't want to, give you the clothes!"

    Fang Xiao Juan was stunned again!

    Not only did the calamity know how to resist, but also because she spoke clearly and her stutter had improved!

    What was going on?

    When she was stunned, Da Qiao twisted her body and ran out from under her arm.

    Fang Xiao Juan recovered and jumped in anger: "You white-eyed wolf. Stop. Curse to all relative, and see if I won't beat you to death!"

    Someone couldn't stand Fang Xiao Juan bullying a child like this, so they persuaded: "Xiao Juan, you're an adult. Why must you make it difficult for a child all day?"


    Fang Xiao Juan spat toward the other party's face: "Who needs you to be nosy! It's my own child. I can hit whatever I want!"

    That person instantly became very angry: "I, pah. When Auntie Qiao comes back, I want to see if you dare to be so arrogant!"

    Fang Xiao Juan subconsciously shuddered when she heard the name of her former mother-in-law.

    But at this moment, she wasn't very afraid of Qiao Xiu Zhi. Since she slept with Wang Xin Sheng, she mentally rounded up and considered herself as a member of Wang Family.

    Wang Xin Sheng's eldest brother was the production team leader. After she marries into Wang Family, she will get Wang Shui Sheng to give all of the dirtiest, tiring and least profitable work to Qiao Family!

    She wanted Qiao Family's members to kneel in front of her and beg her. Then she would slam their faces under her feet!

    So she didn't stop chasing Da Qiao because of the other party's words. Instead she became more ferocious.

    When Da Qiao was about to be caught, a heart-piercing shrill came closer and closer at this moment: "Help! A wild boar is chasing me! Help!"

    Everyone was halted.

    Wild boar?

    Many older villagers in Qili Village had seen wild boars, but that happened many years ago.

    Because wild boars were extremely harmful to crops and ordinary people, troops were sent to the mountains to terminate wild boars a few years ago. Due to this, no one had seen wild boars in recent years.

    During the time everyone was frozen, Fang Fu Gui screamed and ran over to this side: "HELP! HELP!"

    Old woman Fang was feeling proud about gaining four jins of pork a moment ago. Now her face paled in fright when she saw her precious son being chased by the wild boar.

    Everyone saw the huge wild boar chasing Fang Fu Gui as they dashed over. At once, it became a mess. They scattered and fled.

    Seeing that everyone was running away, old woman Fang anxiously jumped, grabbed a man who ran past her, and pleaded, "Young lad, pretty please. I beg you to save my family Fu Gui!"

    Save?

    Got to be joking. That was a wild boar!

    Did she think he didn't want to live?

    The man looked at her like an idiot, pulled her hand away, and ran away.


    "Aiya, Heaven didn't open their eyes. My son! Mom will come to save you!"

    Old woman Fang wanted to save her son, but she was too helpless. As soon as she finished speaking, her legs softened and she fell on the ground. She couldn't get up!

    The power of maternal love failed.

    "Ahh..." Fang Fu Gui let out a tragic scream.

    When everyone looked over, they saw a wild boar arching its nose into Fang Fu Gui's butt. Fang Fu Gui screamed. Then he flipped over and fell to the ground.

    Fang Fu Gui's leg seemed to be broken. He couldn't get up despite his several attempts.

    Just when everyone thought he was dead, the wild boar suddenly stopped attacking him. It turned its head and rushed toward Fang Xiao Juan who was teaching Da Qiao a lesson.

    Fang Xiao Juan's eyes widened.

    Fang Xiao Juan trembled all over.

    Fang Xiao Juan pushed Da Qiao out without even thinking about it!

    Then she turned around and her hoof flew like a wild wind.

    Da Qiao was pushed to the ground.

    Everyone screamed!

    Someone anxiously yelled: "Da Qiao, get up! Get up and run!"

    "Unlucky child, to encounter such a mother is really bad luck of eight lifetimes!"

    "Pitiful……"

    Da Qiao seemed to be frightened as she was sitting motionless on the ground.

    Just as the wild boar was about to reach Da Qiao, a strange matter happened again!

    They witnessed the wild boar run directly pass Da Qiao. Its target was locked on Fang Xiao Juan alone!

    "Ahhhhh..."

    Fang Xiao Juan was completely scared when she heard the hot pursuit behind her.

    Suddenly her leg stepped on a raised rock and she fell down with a "bang" like the way Xiao Qiao did before!

    An iron taste spread in her mouth. But she couldn't pay heed to the pain. She crawled up to continue running away.


    However, the wild boar caught up. It pushed down its front hooves and snarled at her.

    Fang Xiao Juan saw the wild boar approach closer. Her legs weakened as she sat on the ground. The wild boar roared again and she immediately laid flat on the ground.

    Dead! She was dead!

    Fang Xiao Juan's teeth clattered. Her trouser became hot and a puff of yellow urine came out.

    Just when everyone thought Fang Xiao Juan was dead. Another strange occurrence happened again!

    The wild boar went to Fang Xiao Juan's head and lifted a hind leg like a male dog peeing.

    Fang Xiao Juan's eyes widened. What did it want to do?

    It can't be that it want to stamp her to death with a hoof?

    "Ahhhhh..." Fang Xiao Juan screamed frantically!

    At this moment, a column of pale yellow liquid with a nasty smell was sprayed from the wild boar. It sprayed on Fang Xiao Juan's face and mouth!

    Everyone: "..."

    ...

    Everyone's eyes dropped to the ground!

    They seemed to see a wild boar pee on Fang Xiao Juan's face just now. They weren't dreaming, right?


    Fang Xiao Juan was about to become crazy!

    No, she already went crazy!

    She wanted to scream, but as soon as she open her mouth, the urine wildly gushed into her throat!

    Ahhhh, embarrassing to death!

    It was better to have the wild boar nose-butt her to death!

    Wang Xin Sheng's arrival came late.

    When he arrived at the threshing yard, he happened to see the wild boar pee on Fang Xiao Juan's face. He cracked on the spot.

    He paused for a moment before he turned around and retched.

    After he slept with Fang Xiao Juan, he learned from others that Fang Xiao Juan was stuffed with chicken poo by Lin Family. At that time, he felt quite disgusted.

    However, he already slept with her. Fang Xiao Juan was a beauty after all. He didn't take this matter to heart after he minding for a moment.

    But now he personally saw the wild boar pee on her face, he couldn't endure it!

    At this moment, he dismissed the idea of ​​marrying Fang Xiao Juan.

    Marry a woman who had been fed chicken poo and drunk pig urine? Do he still want face?

    Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't expect that so many things to happen during her short absence.

    She ran back against the traffic flow. When she saw the wild boar running towards Da Qiao, her heart stopped beating for an instant.

    If little dumpling was injured because of her negligence, she would never forgive herself in this life.

    Fortunately, the wild boar didn't attack her. Instead it bypassed her and chased Fang Xiao Juan.

    She breathed a sigh of relief. She had never been so scared like this moment in her life.

    She walked toward Da Qiao and held the scared little dumpling in her arms. She softly coaxed: "Da Qiao, don't be afraid. Grandmother is back. Gradnmother won't let anyone hurt you."

    Da Qiao was truly terrified!

    When her mom pushed her towards the wild boar, she was so sad. And so frightened that her whole body trembled.

    She didn't understand why her mom hated her so much. Hated her so much that she want her to die!

    She had always been well-behaved. More obedient than Xiao Qiao. Why did she hate her so much?

    Qiao Xiu Zhi looked the trembling little dumpling in her arms and was filled with deep hatred. If Fang Xiao Juan was in front of her at this time, she would send her to death with one slap!

    She pinched Da Qiao's nose. Then her ears. She whispered: "Come back soul. Da Qiao's soul, come back!"
    Da Qiao slowly recovered her wits. She stared at her grandmother in a daze. Then cried out with a "waaa": "Grandmother!"

    "Grandmother is here. Be good. Don't be afraid!"

    Qiao Xiu Zhi soothed the little dumpling in her arms and waited for her to calm down before handing her over to her tardy eldest son.

    In order to earn a few more work points during this period, Qiao Zhen Guo went to build a reservoir every day. It was quite tiresome. So Qiao Xiu Zhi told him not to get up so early for pork division.

    Halfway on the road, Qiao Zhen Guo heard the news that a wild boar was chasing people. He filled with worry and almost rushed all the way: "Mom, are you okay?"

    "I'm fine." Qiao Xiu Zhi stuffed Da Qiao into his arms and ordered: "Hold her well. Don't drop the child!"

    Qiao Zhen Guo firmly carried Da Qiao: "Mom, don't worry. Even if I fall, I won't let my eldest niece fall!"

    Qiao Xiu Zhi was satisfied. She turned and walked toward the wild boar.

    Seeing Qiao Xiu Zhi heading toward the wild boar, everyone began to talk.


    What was she trying to do?

    Someone remembered that Qiao Xiu Zhi once killed more than two hundred jins of wild boar with one punch. Could it be...

    Everyone held their breath and their eyes didn't blink.

    The wild boar watched Qiao Xiu Zhi running towards it and wildly roared.

    Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't shrink from this. She ran up and slammed the wild boar's head with a fist.

    The wild boar let out a miserable squeal.

    The next moment there was only a "bang" sound. The wild boar crashed to the ground.

    Afterward, it had fainted to death!

    Everyone: "!"

    Simply frightening!

    Simply incredible!

    That wild boar weighed at least two to three hundred jins. Qiao Xiu Zhi had knocked it out with just one punch!

    If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would definitely not believe such a thing!

    When the wild boar came, Wang Shui Sheng gathered some people to raid this guy. When he came with a group of young men, he happened to witness the scene of Qiao Xiu Zhi punching the wild boar to death. Immediately, he was stunned.

    Innate super strength. It turned out that it wasn't a joke!

    "Blech!"

    As soon as the wild boar crisis was resolved, Fang Xiao Juan immediately got up from the ground and vomited.

    "Xiao Juan, what does the wild boar's urine taste like? Vile?"

    "Compared with chicken poo, which one is more fragrant?"

    "Xiao Juan, your mouth was so wide just now. Did you drink a lot of it?"

    "Ha...the number one beauty in Dongfeng Community! I wanna see which man will dare to kiss her mouth in the future, hahaha..."


    Fang Xiao Juan bit her teeth with hatred when she heard these gossips!

    Some kind people reminded her: "You should thank Xiu Zhi. If it wasn't for her, you would be still lying on the ground now!"

    Fang Xiao Juan became more infuriated!

    Want her to thank Qiao Xiu Zhi?

    Not happening!

    Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't care whether Fang Xiao Juan thanked her at all. She took Da Qiao from Qiao Zhen Guo's hands. The little dumplings hugged her neck tightly. Looking very dependent.

    She gave Fang Xiao Juan a cold look and frigidly said: "You treated this child like this and will regret it one day!"

    After speaking, she turned around and walked away without a care.

     Chapter 580. Sun rising from the west


    This Zhou family was from the capital's side. It looked like the family was in good condition.

    If their son was good... Her daughter reached the right age. The capital city was also alright. Not a small place.

    Guo Miao Jun took in her mom's reaction, he couldn't help but chuckle. Then she went shopping for groceries in a very good mood.

    Zhou Xuan was clueless about this. He was boxing in the yard. This was what his eldest brother taught him and Third after he came back.

    It was all kind of practical punches. Since they were young, the brothers had often fought and gained a lot of experience. Since learning this boxing method, they won't suffer in a fight.

    When Jiang Geng came, he saw his second brother boxing. He immediately looked on enviously and said, "Second Brother, teach me."

    "Come." Zhou Xuan nodded and then guided him. Halfway through the practice, Zhou Qing Bai drove back from outside.

    He had brought in a lot of seafood. Jiang Geng saw and quickly said, "Godfather, my mom said she will buy the groceries for tonight. Don't buy. Don't buy a double portion, otherwise it won't be fresh."

    "Alright." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. It was fine to put these seafood into the refrigerator.

    He cooked a pork rib congee, fried a tomato and egg, and blanched a large plate of sea prawns. Then he poured some soy sauce as the dip. Then he cooked a hairtail with a lot of ginger to remove the fishy smell.

    That was it for breakfast. The sea prawn had the largest quantity.

    Once Zhou Qing Bai finished all these, he went to wake Lin Qing He. Lin Qing He's belly was getting bigger and bigger every day. She also became more sleepy-head each day. Quite languid.

    After she got up and washed up, she called the two people who were practicing boxing to come over to eat.

    "Mom, eat more prawns to supplement calcium." Zhou Xuan peeled the prawns for his mom and urged.

    Zhou Qing Bai was also peeling for her, Lin Qing He enjoyed her son and her man's service. Afterward, she spoke, "You guys eat. I will peel it myself."

    Sea prawns were naturally delicious. It wasn't just sea prawns, but octopus meat too. These were good sources of nutrition. Of course, tomatoes and eggs were also consumed.

    After eating, Zhou Xuan tidied up the table. Once done, he went out with Jiang Geng.

    "Second Brother, let's go to Huangtang for a walk today. Last time I went with Third Brother, it had changed a lot since I last went. When the time come, I will take a few more photos of you." Jiang Geng spoke.

    "Okay." Zhou Xuan brought the camera out of the house today. He must take photos as a souvenir now he came.

    The two of them were walking and had not noticed Mother Guo, who was snapping the cowpeas at the door. She had listened to what her daughter said. So, she had been waiting outside the door.

    She didn't expect that she would run into him. She saw the young man just now. Jiang Geng called him Second Brother. This should be Zhou Family's second son. Last time, she heard him call another Third Brother.

    However, this lad looked quite handsome. Tall and got an aura. At first glance, he looked like someone with a high education level!

    So Mother Guo hurriedly called her daughter. Guo Miao Jun came out with a basin of water and spoke, "Mom, what's the matter?"

    "I saw him just now." Mother Guo whispered.

    Guo Miao Jun immediately understood what her mom meant. Her face turned red. Mother Guo smilingly said, "Not a bad eyesight."

    She also felt he was pretty good.

    "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Don't know if he can fancy me." Guo Miao Jun bowed her head.

    "How can he not? We are from Hai City. Not inferior to those from the capital. What's more, you are diligent and family-oriented. One will be blessed to marry you back." Mother Guo declared.

    She had her consideration. If her daughter and Zhou Family’s son successful paired up, won't this house be vacated when Zhou Family would go back to the capital in the future. 

    If it’s vacant, it’s idly left alone, right? Can't her family move over? That way, they don’t have to spend a penny.

    Guo Miao Jun's face blushed slightly. Seeing Zhou Xuan, she really didn't dare to talk to him as she was afraid that he wouldn't fancy her.

    "You have to fight. Talk to him more often. No such young man would dislike a young lady like you." Mother Guo persuaded.

    Guo Miao Jun nodded with flushed face.

    And because of having this plan, Mother Guo smilingly greeted Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai when they were on their walk.

    Lin Qing He had a stomach full of puzzlement but didn't say anything. Just nodded and gave an response. That was all.

    The conflicts within old Guo Family still existed. After all, the family hadn't split yet. Only when they separate off, would it be considered the end. Right now, they probably still thinking about her house.

    "What's her intention?" Lin Qing He said to Zhou Qing Bai when they were far away.

    Really. They passed by in the past, she either act like she didn't see them or the worst, rolling her eyes. Today, the sun rose from the west. She had greeted them.

    "Don't bother with her." Zhou Qing Bai said indifferently.

    He took his wife for a walk and came over to the commercial street. This was a new street with many shops.

    At this moment, it was still working hour. There will be more people at night. Now was better, suitable for walking.

    Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai strolled around and bought two silk scarves while they were at it. Lin Qing He liked both. Then they walked back slowly.

    This time on the way back, they met Guo Miao Jun. When Guo Miao Jun saw the two of them, she called them uncle and aunt with red face.

    Lin Qing He found it weird. What was wrong with old Guo Family?

    Zhou Qing Bai drove the car out. Old Madam Jiang came over with the shoe soles to sew on.

    Lin Qing He said, "Auntie, did old Guo Family find a house?"

    "What house?" Old Madam Jiang was befuddled.

    "The one to live in. They have a very cold relationship with my family. However, they greeted us with smiles today. Didn't they find a house?" Lin Qing He told.

    "I haven't heard." Old Madam Jiang shook her head and replied, "Don't take it seriously. We're all ordinary people. Can't create any waves."

    Lin Qing He smiled: "Did you sleep well last night?"

    "Was good. Slept throughout the night until dawn. Old now, can't withstand all these activities." Old Madam Jiang grinned.

    "When it gets cold, go over next time. It's quite unbearable because it's very hot over there now." Lin Qing He said.

    Only three days. The traffic at this moment wasn't as good as that of later generations. So there were a few sights to walk around.

    Old Madam Jiang merrily said, "Then go there again next year in spring?"

    "You can also go in autumn to see scented mountains and maple leaf." Lin Qing He responded.

    "I can't take the toil this year. Will go again next year." Old Madam Jiang smiled.

    Lin Qing He nodded. Old Madam Jiang continued: "Out of your three sons, the eldest is the only one I haven't seen now."

    "He is busy. I can see it two or three times at the end of the year. Really miss him." Lin Qing He replied.

     Chapter 579. Soft and smooth like jade


    Deputy Chief Jiang and Xue Mei Li listened and also felt helpless.

    "By the way, Second brother is here. Tomorrow I will go around with Second Brother. Godmother instructed to go to have dinner in the evening tomorrow." Jiang Geng mentioned.

    "Then remember to tell your godmother and godfather tomorrow morning, don't buy groceries. I'll  buy them with your dad." Xue Mei Li ordered.

    "Yes." Jiang Geng nodded.

    He was exhausted too. He washed up and then went to sleep in his room.

    Youngest daughter, Jiang Yu was eating the snack her brother brought back: "It's delicious."

    Xue Mei Li grinned. She sat down and ate a piece. She grabbed a piece for her man as she spoke, "Old Zhou Family is really generous."

    Of course it wasn't that they were aiming for something, But rather, old Zhou Family was really friendly and straightforward. No one dislike interacting with such people.

    It made her to want to keep this relationship with this family.

    After all, they had good influence. Take a look at her son. How long had it been. His spirit seem different. Before, he was a bit reckless.

    "These relatives are wonderful. Interact more in the future." Deputy Chief Jiang nodded.

    Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were watching TV at this moment. Lin Qing He leaned on the seat, while Zhou Qing Bai looked at the accounts.

    Second brought it over. The income after the reform was indeed higher than before.

    "There's basically nothing going on at home. You just need to take good care of yourselves," Zhou Xuan said.

    "Not worry. There's you two brothers. If you two Bei University students can't manage these shops well, then I don't dare to expect to give me old age care." Lin Qing He replied.

    Zhou Xuan laughed.

    Zhou Qing Bai spoke, "Why did the cigarette shop rise a lot?"

    "Third had checked it. He sourced out a batch of imported cigarettes. The business is very good." Zhou Xuan explained.

    "After setting up the phone, did your elder brother call over there?" Lin Qing He asked.

    "After calling over, that side said they would tell Eldest Brother. Eldest Brother probably on a mission and haven't return." Zhou Xuan said.

    Zhou Qing Bai gave his son the gaze. Zhou Xuan realized that he had said something wrong and couldn't help but look at his mom. He saw that his mom's face was a little solemn.

    "Mom, you don't have to worry about Eldest Brother. You know how he is. In fact, you don't have to worry about us brothers." Zhou Xuan quickly comforted.

    Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll and said, "As if I need you to say. I just haven't talked to your eldest brother on the phone for a while."

    It was true that she missed her eldest son. Of course, she would worry. Still, she knew that this is inevitable. After all, her son was in this profession. That was his responsibility and obligation.

    "I told Granny Ma, if she receive a call from my eldest brother, arrange a time with Eldest Brother to call. She will tell Third. I will call Third tomorrow and directly ask. See if he can call over here." Zhou Xuan said.

    Although it was a little troublesome, Lin Qing He approved: "Alright."

    Zhou Xuan let out a breath.

    "Go and rest early. You traveled for a day." Lin Qing He said.

    "Okay." Zhou Xuan went to rest first.

    Lin Qing He watched Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain for a while before going to rest with Zhou Qingbai. She spoke, "Eldest's career makes one worry."

    "His skill is still higher than that of mine. Don't worry." Zhou Qing Bai soothed.

    He knew his own son. The student surpass its teacher. There was basically nothing to worry about. What's more, Eldest knew what he was doing.

    Lin Qing He nodded. Not long later, she fell asleep. Zhou Qing Bai slept with her.

    Early the next morning, Zhou Xuan woke up for a run. Zhou Qing Bai told him to take care of his mom before driving to buy seafood.

    "Dad, this our car?" Zhou Xuan's eyes bulged.

    Third was so wicked. He didn't tell him about their family buying a car. He saw it yesterday, but thought it belonged to someone else's!

    "En." Zhou Qing Bai answered and drove off to buy seafood.

    Zhou Xuan ran around the house. He didn't go far. After all, he didn't know the area well. And he had to take care of his mom.

    A young girl from the neighboring old Guo's house opened the door and saw the running Zhou Xuan. First, she froze. Then her face blushed.

    Out of the three Zhou brothers, Eldest was the tallest, Third was the best talker, and Second was the most handsome.

    The two in front were naturally handsome, but the most handsome was still Second. Especially sinc his temperament was gentle and elegant. Soft and smooth like a jade kind.

    Now that he was getting older. He was nineteen. Extremely lethal to young ladies.

    The girl from old Guo Family was called Guo Miao Jun. She was also 19 years old. She had reached the age of marrying. When she encountered such a young man, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her heart was like a deer prancing around.

    After running around for a few laps, Zhou Xuan planned to go back. When he passed by old Guo's house, he noticed her. Because they were neighbors and he didn't know the relationship between the neighbors, he didn't say hello.

    Still, Guo Miao Jun couldn't control her blushing face and beating heart. Her eyes kept watching him enter the house.

    "Why haven't you gone to buy food? Are you waiting for others' leftover?" When Mother Guo came out, she saw her standing at the door as she looked at something unknown. So she reprimanded in displeasure.

    "Mom, I just saw someone. He has entered Zhou's house." Guo Miao Jun blushed.

    "Zhou Family's?" Mother Guo disgruntledly uttered.

    Her family, her second brother’s family, and her in-laws all lived here. It was very crowded. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the old Bian Family’s departure and buy the property at a low price. This way, they can divided into two families? No need to squeeze like this anymore.

    Who knew, it was snatched away by  Zhou Family first. They heard they were from the capital city. When they thought they were floating without roots, they suddenly turned out to be relative of old Jiang Family.

    Don't know when old Jiang Family had such relatives. Still, the relationship between the two was really good. In the past few days, old Jiang couple took their grandson to the capital for a trip.

    "I wonder if he's from Zhou Family. He's tall and extremely handsome." Guo Miao Jun shyly said.

    "Enough you. Our house was snatched by them. I don't have a good impression of their Zhou Family." Mother Guo responded.

    "Mom, you haven't seen him yet." Guo Miao Jun said quickly.

    "I saw one before. Isn't he the one you're talking about?" Mother Guo replied.

    "Not him. I saw that guy, he's tall and certainly not that old. This should be his elder brother." Guo Miao Jun answered.

    The mother and daughter was talking about Zhou Gui Lai.

    "Wait until I see him first. However, I really don't have a good impression of their family." Mother Guo stated. How clear was old Guo Family's scheme? Since their plan was messed up, it was weird that they'll have a good attitude.

    Even when their attitude weren't good, they didn't give old Guo Family attitude. Still, Mother Guo had some of her own plan.

     Chapter 578. Cheerful and open-minded


    Old Mister Jiang and old Madam Jiang took Jiang Geng with them and followed Third back to the capital to explore.

    Third brought them to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side. Naturally, he introduced them.

    Mother Zhou was quite delighted and said, "Thanks to your help and care since Fourth's wife gone over to there."

    "It's nothing. We weren't much help." Aunt Jiang smiled.

    "I wonder if they can get used to it over there?" Mother Zhou asked.

    "They became used to it. Don't worry." Old Madam Jiang nodded without annoyance.

    Zhou Gui Lai showed his grandmother the pictures he brought back: "Look, Grandmother. My parents and the other. They have gained a lot of weight over there."

    Mother Zhou held the photos and looked at it. She was overjoyed when she saw the photo. She grinned, "The two of them have gone so far. And got no acquaintance. My heart is full of worry."

    Zhou Gui Lai didn't say anything. There was basically nothing to worry about.

    His dad can drive all the way to the seafood market to buy seafood back every three to five days. Those big prawns and fresh fish were exceptionally refreshing when stewed as soup. His mom was well care for by his dad.

    Father Zhou played chess with old Mister Jiang as they chatted. It was almost dinner time. As expected, Zhou Xuan and Si Ni came over not long later.

    Gang Zi and Hu Zi were hawking together. So they will be back later. Since they won't come back so quickly, their meal were set aside.

    Zhou Gui Lai introduced old Mister Jiang couple and god-brother Jiang Geng. Zhou Xuan greeted them. Then he said “Tomorrow, you will take care of the shop, Third. I will take Grandpa Jiang and the others around.”

    "Okay." Zhou Gui Lai responded.

    Second became the tour guide. Old Mister Jiang, old Madam Jiang, and Jiang Geng took a trip around the capital.

    As for accommodation, they stayed in the apartment. No need to go to the guest house.

    Three days later, Zhou Xuan took old Mister Jiang, old Madam Jiang, and Jiang Geng back on the road to Hai City.

    Although it was a little tiring, old Mister Jiang and old Madam Jiang were satisfied. Even more so for Jiang Geng.

    Hai City was a big city. Still, this was the first time they went to the capital. They got to see the Heavenly Gate that were drawn on the book. The great city of thousands of miles.

    Second Brother asked people to help take a lot of photos. All for commemoration.

    Coming here, he had old Mister Jiang and the other lead the way. He can just follow. Once arrived, he can see that his parents' little life wasn't bad at all.

    When he came, his mother was eating shrimp dumplings. Sea shrimp dumplings. They were all big and fresh. Zhou Qing Bai drove to buy them early this morning.

    "Dad, Mom." After stepping in, Zhou Xuan merrily greeted.

    Lin Qing He was surprised: "Here so soon? Your grandfather Jiang and other didn't play for a few more days?"

    Jiang Geng came in with him. As for his grandparents, they went back first. Hearing this, he said, "Godmother, we had played for three days. We have seen the sights and took many photos."

    "Alright then." Lin Qing He smiled.

    "Call your grandparents to come over and have a meal." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

    "I'll go call." Jiang Geng nodded. He went. Zhou Qing Bai went into the kitchen to work away. Zhou Xuan sat next to his mom and stared his mother's belly.

    Them brothers were already this big. Back when they were small, they were young. They were born relatively close. Basically hadn't seen their mother when she was pregnant. This time he saw.

    "Is your old mom fat and ugly now?" Lin Qing He fed a shrimp dumpling to her second son and sighed lightly.

    "I heard from Third say that Mom's belly is a lot bigger and is extraordinarily beautiful when he got back. I didn't believe it at first. But now I see, I really believed it. There's some people who are specially beautiful when pregnant." Zhou Xuan said sensibly while eating shrimp dumplings.

    Lin Qing He amusedly barked: "Both brothers have the same virtue, not a word of truth." 
    Third was same. Although he often went out to play, he praised her whenever he was free. Saying that she was pretty and she was beautiful. Saying she still looked good while pregnant.

    Although it sounded so flowery, it was still pleasing to the ear, right?

    "It's all the truth," Zhou Xuan smilingly maintained.

    Lin Qing He urged, "Go take a wash first. In a bit, it'll be dinner."

    Zhou Xuan went in with his bag. He took a change of clothes and then scooped water to take a wash. Lin Qing He continued to eat shrimp dumplings with great appetite.

    These days, if she wasn't eating, she was sleeping. She was really depraved.

    However, the weather was sultry. She was only interested in going out in the evening and in the morning every day. Otherwise, she really don't want to go out.

    Old Mister Jiang, old Madam Jiang, and Jiang Geng took a bath before coming over.

    Zhou Qing Bai cooked noodles. One large bowl for each person. It was cooked with tomatoes and eggs, shrimp and pork.

    "I thought you would have to play for a few more days but unexpectedly you're back already." Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had eaten. They watched them eating now.

    "Second had wanted us to take to other places, but the weather is too hot. We just explored the most interesting place. We'll go later when we have time." Old Mister Jiang responded.

    "Old Sister was really friendly. We went over and she killed chickens for us to eat." Old Madam Jiang jollily said.

    She was younger than Mother Zhou. That was to why she calling her old (elder) sister.

    Lin Qing He knew who she was talking about, nodded and said, "Should kill the chickens and treat you." 
    Then she asked Jiang Geng: "Did you ask your second brother to take you to Bei University and Qing University for a walk?"

    "Yes. I had took photos at the gate to commemorate." Jiang Geng slurped the noodles and smiled.

    After eating here, Jiang Geng was able to go back. Still, Jiang Geng told Zhou Xuan that he would come over for breakfast tomorrow and take him around after eating.

    Deputy Chief Jiang, Xue Mei Li and the youngest daughter were all at home. They didn't expect him to come back so soon. When they opened the door and saw their son, they were shocked.

    "Why back so soon? Did your grandparent come back?" Xue Mei Li asked.

    "All back. Grandfather and Grandmother are tired, so they didn't come over." Jiang Geng took off his backpack as he spoke. His hand was carrying a bag of specialties from the capital. His second brother bought it and told him to bring it. .

    "Go and make him something to eat." Deputy Chief Jiang said.

    "I have eaten it. Godfather made me noodles. A big bowl full of shrimps, meat and eggs. I'm stuffed." Jiang Geng spoke. Then he took out the money from his backpack: "Over there, Second Brother and Third Brother were rushing to pay the bill. I didn’t spend any money. Mom, I return it to you.”

    "This having fun, eating, and bringing gifts back. That can't do, no?" Xue Mei Li was really embarrassed, uttered.

    "I also felt like that. But Second Brother and Third Brother said that there is no reason for me to pay when I go to the capital." Jiang Geng told as he scratched his head.

    He really liked his godparents' family. The god-brothers were also cheerful and open-minded.

    Chapter 577. The country's mountains and rivers are red

    Zhou Gui Lai was very helpless. His mom was a very modern and progressive person. But for some unknown reason, she took this matter very seriously.

    So Zhou Gui Lai kept it in mind. Alright, won’t marry a girl surnamed Zhong. No matter if she looks like a goddess or is as capable as a police flower, he won’t get involved.

    Lin Qing He was extremely grateful for his promise.

    Listen to what this brat was saying. Police flower!

    Wasn't that person a police flower?

    Sure enough, she must take precaution. If not, one day they get entangled, it will be too late for her to be Queen Mother of Western Heaven and draw a Milky Way to separate them.

    "Eat some black rice cake. Your dad recently learned to make it." Lin Qing He shared a piece of cake with him.

    Zhou Gui Lai ate a piece and said, "My dad is more and more like a home daddy now. He's capable of all kind of skills."

    "So marrying your dad is the most correct choice I made in my life. Your dad is a good man." Lin Qing He responded and looked at Zhou Qing Bai.

    The corners of Zhou Qing Bai's mouth raised slightly. Zhou Gui Lai was fed a bite of dog food.

    All right. He lost. He lost.

    Zhou Gui Lai, the third child, came to play for half a month. He was basically out and about every day. At first, he had to bring Jiang Geng with him for two or three days. After that, he would basically not be at home.

    He had changed a lot of film and washed out a lot of photos.

    He stored them into his newly bought photo album. Jiang Geng received a share of few photos. The ones which were taken by Zhou Gui Lai when they went out together. They had asked passers-by to take pictures with them.

    He had got his hands on his third brother's photos and seen what he had taken. It was everything. He even took pictures of people pulling a cart.

    The guy pulling the cart was wiping sweat and showed his big white teeth with a giant smile. Zhou Gui Lai had asked for permission when taking these photos. They were delighted to be taken.

    Jiang Geng's mouth twitched as he looked at it, and said, "Third Brother, how come you take so many of these photos?"

    "You don't understand. We are developing so fast now and will definitely be changing with each passing day. By then, these old scenery will not be seen. If you take photos of it now, our children and grandchildren will be able to see the 80s capital and the 80s Hai City." Zhou Gui Lai explained.

    "Because of this?" Jiang Geng uttered.

    "This is very valuable." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.

    Jiang Geng commented, "I saw the film you bought for washing out the photos cost a lot." 
    In one go, many films were used.

    "This is nothing. I can earn it back in the future." Zhou Gui Lai disagreed. Then he patted Jiang Geng on the shoulder and said: "Brother ah, we can't care about these little money. We have to look into the long term. Look into the future, these old things are valuable. Just look at the old things from the past. Aren’t they all antiques now?"

    Jiang Geng couldn't find a reason to refute.

    "Do you have a stamp collection?" Zhou Gui Lai asked him.

    "No." Jiang Geng shook his head.

    "I have, but I don't own many. I can't give it to you. If you want to see it, I can show it to you. It's all good things." Zhou Gui Lai said.

    Lin Qing He, who closed her eyes to nap, opened her eyes when she heard the words and looked at him, "Third, you collected stamps? When did this start?"

    "I started when I was in college. It was hard to get my hands on the old version." Zhou Gui Lai said.

    "How old?" Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows.

    "It's the Chairman's commemorative stamps. The quadruple set." Zhou Gui Lai triumphantly answered.

    "That got large circulation. It won't be worth much money in the future." Lin Qing He told.

    "There are valuable stamps?" Jiang Geng asked in puzzlement.

    "Of course there is. There is a stamp that is extremely rare now. I can't find it no matter what." Zhou Gui Lai replied.

    "Which stamp?" Jiang Geng said.

    "The country's mountains and rivers are red." Zhou Gui Lai told.

    Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows: "You know this one?"

    "I know. I have collected a lot of other stamps, but I haven't collected this stamp. I can't find it anywhere." Zhou Gui Lai helplessly expressed.

    "I collected it." Lin Qing He said calmly.

    That stamp was issued in 1968. Lin Qing He collected a lot of stamps shortly after coming here. At that time, she didn’t hope to be able to collect that kind of stamps in a small county. Still, she was lucky enough. She didn't encounter it on the first trip. While she did, when she asked the second time.

    She got four in her hand.

    The prices of other stamps weren't so high. But the country's mountain and river are red was said to be worth several million in the future.

    It was more valuable than the gold she had collected.

    Zhou Gui Lai was stunned. His mom had actually collected a rare stamp like the country's mountain and river are red?

    "Mom, why haven't I heard about this before?" Zhou Gui Lai blurted.

    "What haven't heard? When you were small and ignorant, you went to the cupboard to find sweets and almost broke my stamps. I put it away at that time." Lin Qing He muttered.

    Zhou Gui Lai laughed: "Wasn't I still young then? I don't even remember it."

    "I kept it in my wallet. Stored it really well. If you want, I can show it to you." Lin Qing He said.

    Though she was reluctant to give it, it was find to make him drool.

    "I'll go get your wallet for you, Mom!" Zhou Gui Lai yelled.

    He went in and took out his mom's wallet. Lin Qing He opened it and took out one from the space. It was intact and brand new. It had been kept in her space after all.

    Zhou Gui Lai's eyes were shocking: "I didn't expect that you collected it, Mom. This can't do, I got to take a picture and keep it!"

    He went in to get the camera. Jiang Geng held it and said, "Godmother, is this stamp so rare?"

    "It is quite rare. From the '68. Now it's 1985. Count how many years ago is it." Lin Qing He replied.

    "It's been many years. Why is it still so new." Jiang Geng pointed out.

    "I kept it well." Lin Qing He told.

    Zhou Gui Lai had already taken out the stamps and took two photos. Only then was he content to return the stamps to his mom, "Mom, did you collect the other stamps?"

    "Basically have each edition." Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows.

    Admiration instantly dispalyed on Zhou Gui Lai's face: "Mom, your interest is really tasteful!"

    Jiang Geng laughed at the side. His third brother was such a flatterer. Zhou Gui Lai turned to him: "God-brother, go back and prepare. I'm leaving tomorrow."

    "Not staying for a few more days?" Jiang Geng had high interest in going to the capital.

    "No. Second Brother would be angry. He won't trust me in the future." Zhou Gui Lai responded.

    "Alright then. I'll go back and pack my things." Jiang Geng nodded.

    "Just bring your English textbook. Leave the rest, since you basically won't use it." Lin Qing He told him.

    "Okay." Jiang Geng responded and went back.

     Chapter 576. Surnamed Zhong girl isn't suitable for you

    The ward that Chen Shan entered had an old lady lying down. Her face seemed a bit mean. When she saw him coming, she immediately began to howl: "You still have a conscience to see this old lady? Aren't you on your wife's side? It was said sons were raised to guard against old age. After finally raising a son like you, you are on an outsider's side!"

    Chen Shan hurriedly said: "Mom, don't talk about this. Aren't you putting me on the spot?"

    "What putting you on the spot? You have been away for so many years. Once you came back, you brought back a fiery one back. Is this being filial to me? This is wishing me to die sooner. Since I was hospitalized yesterday, she hasn't seen a wink of me. Do she think she superior after giving birth a money-wasting thing for our old Chen Family?" Old Madam Chen scolded.

    Yesterday she had a big fight with her daughter-in-law after tolerating each other for a long time. Then her daughter-in-law, who married in from another province, refused to bow her head. She pretended to fall and entered the hospital.

    But from yesterday to today, her daughter-in-law did not bring her granddaughter here for half a step.

    Old Madam Chen was full of hate.

    Old Chen family was going to end their household registration with this woman.

    "I don't care. I can't afford such an unfilial daughter-in-law. You go divorce her!" Old Madam Chen sent out her wanted list and declared.

    "Mom, look at what kind of society it is now. Still want old-age divorce?" Chen Shan responded.

    "Then file a divorce. Divorce her, let her go wherever she came from. Then you marry another one and give birth a grandson. Let her take that money-wasting girl out!" Old Madam Chen stated.

    "Alright, you old thing. You dare to ask Chen Shan to divorce me!" At this moment, the door banged. It was kicked open.

    Afterward, a big row occurred. Many people gathered around.

    Chen Shan squeezed out of the crowd with a numb expression. He came out to see if he could run into Lin Qing He again.

    Unfortunately, he didn't encounter her. She had left.

    This made Chen Shan a little discouraged. Back then, if she was willing to go with him, she would definitely be able to give birth to a son for his old Chen Family with her ability.

    Besides, she was highly educated. She would surely be able to have a good job. Moreover, with her intelligence, she can mediate the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The pressure on him won't be so heavy...

    Lin Qing He, who had already returned home, didn't know that this scum could still have such thought.

    She was still frowning when she got home. She thought she would never see Chen Shan again in her life, but unexpectedly she did.

    Looking at him, it was obvious that he had a bad life. Still, she was happy if he had a bad life. His age was much younger than Zhou Qing Bai, but he looked older than Zhou Qing Bai.

    He was a weak chicken before and was still a weak chicken now.

    The only thing that made Lin Qing He frown was that she could still run into Chen Shan even now. Would the legendary female lead still encounter with her third child?

    Because the original plot was messed up by her, that one hadn't appeared even until now.

    That was a calamity. Her third child was fascinated until half-dead.

    Lin Qing He's mind became more chaotic as she pondered about these things. Then she fell asleep in bed.

    Zhou Qing Bai took in how heavy his wife's expression was. His wife didn't say, so he didn't know what was going on. It was obvious his wife had worries.

    Zhou Qing Bai didn't say much. He started to make something to eat. Lin Qing He slept and felt much better. When Third come back, she would talk to him.

    Zhou Qing Bai brought in a bowl of clear soup. Lin Qing He drank the clear soup and said, "Why have I slept for so long?"

    They got back after nine o'clock. Right now, it was almost half past eleven.

    "The person you met. What did he say to you?" Zhou Qing Bai sat down and asked.

    To be honest, Zhou Qing Bai didn't lack this confidence. His wife would never set her eyes on the like of Chen Shan.

    But his wife was obviously not happy after meeting him.

    Lin Qing He told him that she wasn't from here and had came from later generations. After getting along days and nights, she didn't want to be too restricted. So she told him after identifying his character.

    But getting Lin Qing He to tell him that this was the setting of a book? Lin Qing He felt that this was really challenging this man's three views.

    So she never intended to say it.

    "He didn't say anything. Just greeted me a bit and said that he didn't expect to see me here." Lin Qing He told.

    Zhou Qing Bai looked at her.

    Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll: "What's the matter? Do you think I have anything to say to him? A weak chicken. Looking at him, you will know that he have a miserable life. He looked much older than you." 
    Reaching this point, Lin Qing He smiled. She patted Zhou Qing Bai's face and said: "Maintain it well. Don't let yourself age too fast. Otherwise, it won't be just me. Your daughter won't like you when she come out in the future."

    Zhou Qing Bai laughed.

    The encounter with Chen Shan was a warning for Lin Qing He, who had a long and good life. She felt that the people they should meet would always be appear.

    So Lin Qing He waited for Third to come home and called him over.

    "Mom, this big Hai City is really prosperous. I took a lot of pictures." Zhou Gui Lai merrily spoke.

    Lin Qing He grinned, "Since you like, take more photos. Capture the characteristics of Hai City."

    Zhou Gui Lai nodded.

    Soon Lin Qing He changed the topic: "Our family also has a rule. It's okay to date. But if you found someone good, you have to bring her back before you get in deep. By the way, Mom had got your fortune told. You aren't suitable to marry girls surnamed Zhong."

    Zhou Gui Lai had poured himself a glass of water to drink. He sprayed it out directly after hearing these words.

    Zhou Qing Bai brought out black rice cakes for his wife then. He coldly glanced at his son.

    Zhou Gui Lai quickly explained: "No, don't get me wrong. Dad, I'm not..."

    Lin Qing He munched on black rice cakes. Zhou Gui Lao spoke, "Mom, why did you say this to me all of a sudden? Surnamed Zhong girl isn't suitable for me? Which fortuneteller said this? It feels very unreliable."

    "What unreliable? Some fortune-tellers have real skills. Ask your dad. An old fortune-teller said your dad will have a daughter. I didn’t believe it, while your dad did. Now look at my belly? I can still be pregnant at this age." Lin Qing He persuaded.

    "That incredible?" Zhou Gui Lai was surprised.

    Zhou Qing Bai looked at him: "Listen to what your mom said."

    Lin Qing He gave her man a loving gaze before turning back to her son: "Do you hear? As long as it's surnamed Zhong, she's not suitable for you. No matter how kind or excellent she is, you can't stick to her."

    The female lead's name was Zhong Qing and her third son fell in love with her at first sight. After that, he met with calamity.

    Although this situation was different from the original plot, Lin Qing He was someone who was afraid of the rope for tens years after being bitten by a snake. The male lead was fine. He and her eldest were on the same wavelength, so she wasn't that biased.

    But this female lead can't do it. She's cause trouble left and right.
