BTTS 564




 Chapter 564. Sedan car


The to-buy were TV set, washing machine, and refrigerator.

These were a must in a house.

As for other large appliances, there were none. Lin Qing He had her own fan. It was taken out to use. As for the rest, there were none.

When they bought it, they asked the mall to send it over. Then the two of them properly shopped around.

Lin Qing He was quite satisfied after shopping. She went to find a phone and called Zhou Xiao Mei. The small convenience shop went to get Zhou Xiao Mei to answer the phone. Knowing that she would call today, Mother Zhou brought little Su Tian over there and waited.

Mother ushered Zhou Xiao Mei to continue doing business, while she herself came over and waited for the call. After estimating the time, Lin Qing He called.

Upon hearing that it was her mother-in-law, Lin Qing He smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. Now we are here, everything is fine. The farmer's market and hospital are nearby. The house is quite spacious."

Mother Zhou listened and said, "That's good. That's good. Since you gone to an unfamiliar place, it's best to lie low and not cause trouble with others. Peacefully rent there for more than half a year and then come back."

She didn't know her son and daughter-in-law were going over there to develop real estate while they nurture the baby.

Mother Zhou chatted for a long time before she hung up. Her face displayed relieved.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xiao Mei said: "Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law have settled in, right?"

"All settled in." Mother Zhou replied: "This pregnancy isn't easy. They have to run off to Hai City to give birth."

"They have to go there to give birth. Otherwise, if old Madam Zhang from next door wants commit a dead fish with a broken net some day? What shall we do then?" Zhou Xiao Mei said.

What Zhou Xiao Mei was basically saying was calling old Madam Zhang problematic.

Her fourth sister-in-law was going go there sooner or later or have the baby. If she wasn't caught by old Madam Zhang, it would have been two months later. Previously, they had planned to leave during the summer vacation.

Mother Zhou spoke: "Now that they have moved over there, don't bother with that dead old woman. By the way, next time your eldest sister calls, don't fetch me to take her call. Had enough of her. She can't even teach daughter or son well either!"

Mother Zhou was afraid of getting reported too. After all, that wasn't a virtuous old lady. She had heard it from the old ladies in the park. This matter was very strict. Even seven month pregnancy was aborted.

Zhou Xiao Mei said, "Let's not talk about Eldest Sister. Tian Tian should go to school next year. It's better to study. Makes one sensible."

"Yes. Study more. Our old Zhou Family can be studious." Mother Zhou nodded.

"Mother, come on. Our old Zhou's studiousness was brought out by Fourth Sister-in-law. The last dozen or so generations were all mud-legged peasants. Still studious?" Zhou Xiao Mei rolled her eyes.

Mother Zhou sighed.

This was true. Whether it was Yang Yang from first branch or Wu Ni from third branch, it was all brought out by Fourth's wife.

She started it all. Otherwise, none of the family valued studying. Mother Zhou used to think that studying was useless.

When Eldest Sister-in-law sent her girls to study, the family had split. If not, Mother Zhou wouldn't had given approval. Since the family split, they were two families. She can't intervene.

Look now, each of them were educated.

"Nurture them well. After you raised them right, your four will also be college students in the future and you will be able to give glory to your ancestors!" Mother Zhou stated.

Zhou Xiao Mei liked to hear these words and grinned: "I don't expect them to be as good as Da Wa and the boys. If they can even get admitted to an ordinary university, then Da Lin and I will be satisfied."

She had discussed with her family Da Lin. Now that they owned a shop and a house, they save the money once the money owed to her fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law is paid off.

Why save? To support these four children to university. As long as they can pass the exam, the couple will pay for it no matter whether it is a son or a daughter!

It wasn't easy to provide for four college students, so the two of them had to work hard.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were currently talking at Jiang's house next door.

Because of a handful of cabbage, they naturally have to come to say thank you.

The interaction between people was like this. Express gratitude and see what kind of person they were. If they can get along, then they can keep socializing. If they don't, then just be acquaintances.

Lin Qing He had a good impression of Jiang Family's old couple. After returning home, she told Zhou Qing Bai: "When bored in the future, it's not a bad idea to go over to sit and listen to the older generation's experience."

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai knew what her attitude was and nodded. Seeing that it was nearly time, he went into the kitchen to cook.

Old Madam Jiang and old Mister Jiang were also talking next door.

"This couple seem pretty good." old Madam Jiang remarked.

"They do." Old Mister Jiang nodded.

It was just the two of them here. At this age, they had no children? But right now, the friendship was shallow. They didn't go in depth. Still, their impression of the new neighbors was really good. They can socialize more.

As for whether old Guo family was happy or not, old Jiang Family didn't care.

Zhou Qing Bai served steamed rice in the afternoon, which was paired with braised pork belly, Chinese cabbage and loofah soup. A decent meal.

Only the two of them, so not many dishes needed.

Lin Qing He continued to read after eating. Because she had brought a lot of books over. Some were her own reading and some was for early child education.

Reading more books when one was pregnant was good for the baby.

After Zhou Qing Bai freed his hands from chores, he spoke, "Wife, let's go buy a sedan car?"

Lin Qing He, who immersed in the book, gave him a puzzled look: "Why do you want to buy a car all of a sudden?"

"Although it is close to the hospital, it will take more than ten minutes to get there. When you are about to give birth, there will be a car to take you there." Zhou Qing Bai explained.

"Just ten minutes. I'll walk over." Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll.

She thought it was a major event. Delivering a baby wasn't birthing it as soon as the stomach hurts. There was a period of pains. If it ends with some pain, then the time is enough. There is no need to worry.

“I think it’s also convenient to have a car. There are many places around. We can go shopping. If there is a good location, it’s no problem to buy it. Although a car was expensive, it can be used for a long time. We will have to buy it sooner or later. Buy it early meant we can use it early," Zhou Qing Bai persuaded.

The reason sounded logical but Lin Qing He knew that the biggest reason was that he was worried the ten minutes journey will delay the birth of his daughter...

"Fine." Lin Qing He pondered for a while before nodding. It wasn't a bad idea to own a car. It made buying real estate easier.

Moreover, with the current conditions at home, it was affordable. As for how to bring it back in the future? It was simple. Call Zhou Xuan or Hu Zi to come over and drive it back.

Although it wasn't close, it can be driven back.
