BTTS 611




 Chapter 611. Small, little bundle


After each person downed a bowl of dumplings, Zhou Kai and Weng Mei Jia felt satisfied.

And from all sitting on the train for so many days, it was necessary to take a wash at this time.

Zhou Kai left the luggage on the second floor. He and Weng Mei Jia each grabbed a bag of clothes for changing before riding the bicycle at the dumpling shop to the bathhouse.

Each went to take a comfortable wash. Then they regrouped at the door and went home.

The two of them didn't go to the dumpling shop. Instead, they headed straight back to the apartment building.

Zhou Xuan, Zhou Qing Bai, and Lin Qing He were at home at this time. Zhou Xuan was holding his dad's legs so that he can do sit-up. As for Lin Qing He, she was doing her translation work.

The translation work wasn't so easy with all those connecting context and structure. Still, she was happy to do it.

Hearing the voice of Eldest sounded from outside, Lin Qing He's expression revealed joy. Without a word, she got up and opened the door.

"I was saying that you two should be back." Lin Qing He happily chirped.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't continue to exercise. It didn't matter when his son came back. However their prospective daughter-in-law was present too. So he must pay attention to his image.

What kind of image was it to lie on a blanket with Second holding down his leg in front of the prospective daughter-in-law?

"Auntie Lin, you're not out of shape at all." Weng Mei Jia cheerfully remarked.

"The meat is all eaten by your Uncle Zhou." Lin Qing He grinned, "When did you two come back? Your luggage?"

"I went to the dumpling shop an hour and a half ago. Ate dumplings and took a bath before I came back." Zhou Kai answered. He couldn't wait to go in and see his little sister: "Mom, is little Sister in the room?"

"Yeah." Lin Qing He responded.

"Dad, I just came back after taking a shower. Can I see my sister?" Zhou Kai jollily asked. However, his steps were already moving toward the room.

Zhou Qing Bai just glanced at him.

Zhou Kai went in and saw the little bundle on the bed. She was still sleeping. Zhou Kai leaned in and took a look. Weng Mei Jia also came in to take a look.

"She looks really like Auntie Lin." Weng Mei Jia gazed at her. Her heart went soft. No one could resist such a child.

Not to mention Zhou Kai. If she wasn't sleeping right now, he would definitely want to hug his little sister.

After watching her for a while, he came out and said to his mom: "Mom, when I just left at the beginning of this year, you weren't pregnant yet. When I come back, my little sister is already three months old. "

The tone had a tinge of regret. He didn't get to see what his mother was like when she was pregnant.

"Third, Dad, and I have taken a lot of photos of Mom when she was pregnant. You can have a look. It's a full album of photos." Zhou Xuan grinned.

He peeled an orange for Weng Mei Jia: "Sister Mei Jia, have an orange." 
Second was different from Third. When Third addressed her as Eldest Sister-in-law, it didn't sound unnatural at all. That was because he was Third. It was fine, just a little thick skin.

Zhou Xuan won't do that.

Weng Mei Jia merrily accepted. Zhou Kai had already gone to get the photo album. He looked through it with Weng Mei Jia. As he flipped through Lin Qing He’s beautiful photos when she was pregnant, he emotionally remarked, "If I didn't see the photos, I would assume you picked up my little sister."

"Little Sister looks so like Auntie Lin. How could she be picked up?" Weng Mei Jia smiled: "When Auntie Lin was pregnant, she looked pretty."

"How is it pretty? I was so fat that I don't recognize myself anymore." Lin Qing He laughed.

"It's just the belly bigger. Nothing else had changed." Weng Mei Jia said: "It can be seen that you had pay attention to your figure when you were pregnant."

Her auntie Lin was the most diligent person she seen on her figure and face maintenance. Honestly, she looked really young.

"Dad really gained a lot of weight." Zhou Kai looked at his dad.

Zhou Qing Bai ignored him and watched his TV. Zhou Xuan amusedly said: "Dad has started dieting to lose weight now. He had lost some weight this time. You didn't see him when he just came back. I estimate it's 200jins plus."

Zhou Kai chuckled, while Weng Mei Jia pursed her lips in amusement.

"You rest here first. I'll cook a pig's stomach and chicken for you." Lin Qing He stood up and said.

"I'll help Aunt Lin." Weng Mei Jia spoke.

"No need. You can just stay sitting. Got to be tired from the journey. I'm familiar with this dish. It doesn't take much effort," Lin Qing He said.

She went out first. As for daughter, she won't wake up for a short time, because she had just gone to bed not long ago.

She came over to the dumpling shop.

Zhou Gui Lai jollily said, "I knew Mom will come over to stew pig's stomach and chicken."

"They're taken out to defrost already?" Lin Qing He smiled as soon as she saw it.

"That's right. This is a must-have when Eldest Brother comes back." Zhou Gui Lai said.

The chicken was killed in advance, just two days ago. After it was killed. it was frozen. In addition  they were fresh and didn't deteriorating at all in this weather.

Now that it was completely thawed, it made things easier. Lin Qing He picked up the knife and started to chop the chicken to make pig's stomach wrapping chicken.



"Brother Hu Zi and the others will get married next year. When will Eldest Brother and Sister Mei Jia?" Zhou Gui Lai brought up.

"Depend on the two of them." Lin Qing He responded as she worked away.

As long as Eldest and Mei Jia were fine with it, then there was no problem. But next year Guo Dong and Si Ni will marry. It wasn't good for both brother and sister to marry in the same year. So it'll be pushed back.

"Grandmother was talking about it. She haven't seen Sister Mei Jia until now." Zhou Gui Lai said.

"Then let Eldest take Mei Jia over for a visit this year." Lin Qing He stated.

They should visit. After all, she saw them both holding hands this year. This relationship had taken a step forward.

Tonight, she will have a good chat with her son to see how far they had progressed. If the marriage wasn't any time soon, then they can get engaged first.

Got to give the girl a legitimate right to hold hands with him, right?

"Just let it simmer like this. It has to simmer for an hour." Lin Qing He instructed Third.

"I understand. Mom, don't worry. You've made it so many times." Zhou Gui Lai answered. He was busy making dumplings. Now it was vacation time, he managed the business at home.

And in the future, he wants to start a dumpling business and open a dumpling factory. He had to show his parents  his determination and perseverance.

Lin Qing He left it to Third. She cleaned up and went home.

Zhou Xuan was telling his eldest brother about Hai City's side and the god-relationship.

Lin Qing He came in and heard this. She spoke: "Xiao Geng wanted to come here to celebrate the New Year. Saying that he has never seen his eldest brother."

"Why didn't he come then?" Zhou Kai responded.

"His mom won't allow him," Lin Qing He told, "However, next summer vacation, he will probably come over."

"Mei Jia, want to go inside for a rest?" Lin Qing He looked at her prospective daughter-in-law.

"Not tired. I slept on the train before getting off." Weng Mei Jia smilingly declined.

    2. this novel really fell deeply on the trap of author can't help but mention how pretty the mc is and how thin the mc is. almost every paragraph that the mc in is just that. though i do love that mc actually worked for her face and figure but it does make my eye roll everytime.

      it's very repetetive.
