BTTS 571

 Chapter 571. Craving

Zhou Gui Lai and Zhou Xuan was quick and efficient. Still, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai called back a week later and got the dumpling shop's number.

Lin Qing He looked at the time right now and casually called back.

"Mom!" Zhou Gui Lai's voice came from the phone.

"How do you it's your mom? What if it was someone else?" Lin Qing He amusedly scolded.

"How is that possible? It must be you and Dad who'll call. No one else has contacted yet." Zhou Gui Lai laughed.

"How much did it cost?" Lin Qing He asked.

"A total of fourteen hundred or so." Zhou Gui Lai couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

"So expensive?" Lin Qing He hissed.

"It said it's a lot cheaper now. It cost six thousand yuan before." Zhou Gui Lai responded.

Simply a piggy-bank slaughter.

Lin Qing He murmured in her heart. Then she chatted about the brothers reforming the clothing stores.

"Mom, don't listen to what Grandmother and the other say. The business is much better now. The income has increased by nearly four thousand yuan last month!" Zhou Gui Lai whispered the last sentence.

Lin Qing He was surprised: "That much?"

"Ain't that right." Zhou Gui Lai proudly said: "I have seen it in the mall. The price was generally higher than ours. The quality may not necessarily be as good as ours. The styles aren't as novel as ours. So I just mentioned it and they gave a discount afterward."

"Naughty boy, don't fool around on your own. If there is something, discuss with your second brother." Although Lin Qing He was proud of her son's cleverness, it still needed to be restrained. That way, his ego won't exaggeratedly inflate.

"Not fooling around. I have seriously discussed everything I do with my second brother. The customers are all praising the shop's addition of two electric fans." Zhou Gui Lai declared.

Lin Qing He smiled.

"Off to one side." Zhou Xuan took over the phone and spoke, "Mom, how are you now?"

"Great. What problem can there be with your dad present?" Lin Qing He smiled.

"That's good. Don't worry about things at home. Everything is fine." Zhou Xuan assured.

Lin Qing He chatted with the two of them for a long time before hanging up the phone. They had spent more than ten yuan on the phone bill.

Zhou Qing Bai said, "I'll give them the number tomorrow."

Lin Qing He nodded, having a phone call is indeed pretty good, I thought it was too expensive before, and it was unnecessary. Now, if you install one, you can install one, but more than four thousand yuan is still too expensive.

Zhou Qing Bai went to leave his contact the next day. The Housing Management Bureau also got it jotted down.

In a blink of an eye, it had entered June.

Lin Qing He's belly was showing a bit now. Most obvious when taking a bath. But it was still not very visible in normal times.

So she can still join Zhou Qing Bai in small car as they explore the real estate.

However, it started to get hot in June. Lin Qing He didn't like to go out much.

Zhou Qing Bai went out to buy it by himself.

Old Madam Jiang brought a basket of tomatoes and said, "What is Young Zhou doing? I noticed he go out every day."

"Just tossing around." Lin Qing He replied. She took the tomatoes to wash and ate the tomatoes. "Young Geng have exams recently."

"All the exams are over. The results should come out in two days. The next exam should be the final exams." Old Madam Jiang smiled.

"He have made a lot of progress. He should be able to climb up a lot on the ranks." Lin Qing He said.

She thought Jiang Geng was average on other subjects. After all, his English was so poor. But on the contrary, Jiang Geng was only poor in English. On the rest, he was in the top ten in the class.

His English had always made his English teacher worry. To the unknown, they'll think he have an opinion against the English teacher.

After two days, the result was out. Jiang Geng entered the top 100 from one hundred and something.

His English had dragged his feet. Now he had improved by a full 25 points this time!

Lin Qing He rolled her eyes when she heard about it: "Just an improvement of twenty-five?"

"That's not bad." Although Jiang Geng was arrogant, he couldn't be arrogant in front of Lin Qing He. He uttered as he scratched his head.

In the past, he was in the tens or twenties percent in the test. This time he achieved 45. Wasn't it an improvement of 25?

"Keep working hard. This isn't great. My sons had never dipped below 90 in English." Lin Qing He said, "Don't dent my fame."

Old Madam Jiang wanted to laugh when hearing this. Then she glared at her grandson: "Did you hear? You aren't allowed to ruin your Auntie Lin's reputation!"

The corners of Jiang Geng's mouth twitched.

"Let's start today's study. I'm going to increase the difficulty. Basic points are easy to obtain. Fifty to sixty points are easy too. Seventy to eighty points up is another level." Lin Qing He stated.

She had previously told him memorize ten words a day before. Now he was still memorizing ten words every day but five phrases had been added.

She told him to recite two of her summary.

"Can you accept it?" Lin Qing He said.

"I can." Jiang Geng, who had tasted the sweet result, nodded.

If his English can reach more than 60 points, it will not drag the rest too much. Work harder in other subjects, he will definitely be able to go up in the rankings!

The one hour of teaching was finished quickly. Lin Qing He spoke, "I will give you another half an hour. Ask if you have any points you don't understand."

"Other subjects too?" Jiang Geng raised his eyebrows and stared at her.

"Okay." Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow.

It was just high school's first year's knowledge. She had learned everything in preparation for the college entrance examination. Although it had been a few years, she didn't forget everything.

So Jiang Geng came up with a difficult math problem. Lin Qing He solved it easily.

Jiang Geng was put in place. Then honestly he asked for guidance.

Once he left, old Madam Jiang spoke, "This stinky boy was spoiled before. He was an only child. It was afterward he gained a younger sister."

"It's okay. The young and vigorous are like this." Lin Qing He didn't mind. In fact, at her age, she like these young and wild youth, who were full of vigor and vitality.

After entering June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Lin Qing He wanted to eat popsicles. But because of the little one in her belly, she can only forgot it.

It was better to eat more tomatoes and fruits. Just resist with the popsicles.

"Make me a bowl of sesame glutinous rice balls." Lin Qing He had cravings and began to make things difficult for Zhou Qing Bai.

This wasn't really considered making things difficult. At least, Zhou Qing Bai was quite willing. He didn't know how to make sesame glutinous rice balls. He took it out to make. So Lin Qing He instructed him.

Zhou Qing Bai had big hands. The glutinous rice balls he made weren't small, but they taste good.

"If you like it, I will make you crushed peanut stuffing tomorrow." Zhou Qing Bai said after eating them too.

"Alright." Lin Qing He nodded.

Although she got more and more craving, she still restrained her appetite. She ate a bowl of sesame-stuffed glutinous rice balls and stopped eating. The rest was eaten by Zhou Qing Bai.

Zhou Qing Bai uttered: "I've gained almost ten jins since coming here."

"When we go back, lose it again." Lin Qing He didn't care about him. Since her craving was solved, let him solve the rest.
