Chapter 651. Find a match


When Lin Qing He called, Third Sister-in-law just freed her hands.

Except for second branch, what friction were there between the three sisters-in-law when they were young? They grew with age and the relationship was really great now.

"You know my phone number and still get Third Brother to pass yours to Eldest Sister-in-law to give it to me. You can call me directly, right?" Lin Qing He amused lectured on the phone.

"Wasn't I worried that you won't be home. You call me and I'll be here anytime." Third Sister-in-law merrily replied.

"There is always someone at home when you call here. Two people are hired to help at home. Even if I'm not at home, I will be notify by them." Lin Qing He told her.

"Then I'll directly call next time." Third Sister-in-law jollily said.

"How is the shop business recently?" Lin Qing He also asked.

"It's pretty good. Still, can't compare to your brother's side." Third Sister-in-law responded.

"I haven't contacted my brother's side for a while. What happened?" Lin Qing He said.

"He recently opened another shop. He watch one and his wife watch one. This speed of making money isn't something we compare." Third Sister-in-law told.

Lin Qing He was surprised: "When did this happen?"
She didn't even know that her brother had opened another shop.

"Last month. I only found out after they opened it. Of course, the truck your brother bought is strong enough. The motorcycle isn't used anymore. With such a big truck, they can open two." Third Sister-in-law answered.

Third Brother Lin bought a truck. From a small broken bicycle in the past to a motorcycle later. And then going to the provincial city to buy such a truck.

Basically, it wiped out a good half of Third Brother Lin's family's saving. Still, Third Brother Lin dared to do that.

Lin Qing He didn't know these things. She was satisfied though. Before, she had always remind her brother how to be capable. Now he didn't need her to say anything. He knew he got to make progress.

"Then what about you and my third brother? Do you have any plans in this aspect?" Lin Qing He asked.

This era was the spring time for doing business. It was particularly profitable. Some good businesses won't have problem making monthly income of few thousand. In the future, because of inflation, there will be many people with monthly income of ten thousand.

Lin Qing He felt that her third brother had took the right step this time.

"Where do we have the money? I asked your third brother. That truck is more than ten thousand yuan." Third Sister-in-law replied.

Her family went home to build a house. Still, they have made a lot of money in the past two years. And how much did it cost to install this phone? And because the previous apartment building wasn't big enough and the children were big, they sold it and replaced it with a small house with garden. What's more, the price had increased. It was no longer the same price. .

Although the money at home hadn't reached the bottom, it wasn't enough if they want to buy a truck.

"Now it doesn't take much effort for Wu Ni's dad to drive a motorcycle. We'll stay like this for now and see later in the future." Third Sister-in-law uttered.

Though she said that, it was impossible to say she didn't envy Third Brother Lin. How great was the profit of the shop? Now that there was a large truck, how much cargo can it carry back?

With two shops are opened, the business will definitely not be bad.

Still, Third Sister-in-law didn’t regret it. The phone had been installed at home. How much face they have from this? When it was first installed, she felt excited just by touching the phone.

When she was in the village, how could imagine that one day they could live the current good life?

The credit must go to fourth branch. Fourth branch did their best to support them third branch to move out and no longer stay in the village. There was no regret moving out.

"Mother, who are you talking to?" Zhou Wu Ni said when she came back from her class.

She and Eldest Sister-in-law's eldest son, Zhou Yang taught at County One High School, which was very close to this side. Since her home was here, there was no need for dorm. While Zhou Yang lived in dorm.

"Your fourth aunt. Do you want to come over and have a few words with your fourth aunt?" Third Sister-in-law hurriedly asked when she saw her coming back.

"Want, want." Zhou Wu Ni put down her bag and came over to take the phone.

She chatted with her fourth aunt on the phone. Lin Qing He merrily spoke, "I heard your mother say that she have introduced you a lot of people. Didn't fancy anyone?"

"I'm not in that mood right now. I told my mother, but she won't listen." Zhou Wu Ni said helplessly.

"What won't listen? It's obviously that you have a high-sight. The one I saw last time is pretty decent and you don't like him." Third Sister-in-law told her off.

"This is not something that can be settled due to good or bad conditions. The key to this kind of thing is feeling." Lin Qing He said on her side.

Zhou Wu Ni immediately uttered: "Mother, listen to what fourth aunt said. This suit what I want!"

"Qing He, do you have a suitable guy over there. One that hasn't married yet? How about introducing someone to Wu Ni?" Third Sister-in-law suggested.

Third Sister-in-law was a little envious. Er Ni and Si Ni who openly married into the capital. Now San Ni and her husband Li Ai Guo were also in the capital. She wanted her daughter to marry into the capital.

But her daughter said she wanted to stay in her hometown, so she didn't force it. So she started matchmaking? However, she didn't fancy anyone. So she casually mentioned it now.


"I don’t know if there's anyone suitable. I normally don’t pay attention. Wu Ni hasn’t been to the capital for a long time. It’s summer vacation next month. Do you want to come over to Fourth Aunt's place as a guest? Fourth Aunt moved the home this year. Just stay in our courtyard," Lin Qing He responded.

"Alright. Let Wu Ni go over." Third Sister-in-law answered for her daughter.

Zhou Wu Ni did not vetoed the idea. She didn't go to the capital for some time, so it wasn't bad idea to go over there for a vacation.

"By the way Wu Ni, go over to my third brother's side and ask. See if Ah Xiu is coming. If she comes, bring her with you, alright?" Lin Qing He said.

Ah Xiu was Third Brother Lin's eldest daughter. She wanted to come to the capital to explore few years ago, but she never had time.

"Alright. I'll go over and mention it in advance. If she wants to go, I'll take her with me when the time comes. Is this phone number for Fourth Aunt's house?" Zhou Wu Ni asked.

"En. Just call this phone before you come. I'll get Third to pick you up at the right time," Lin Qing He told.

After chatting for a long time, they hung up the phone. Originally, Lin Qing He was at home by herself. Now Third was back.

"Jiang Heng will come over next month. I will have to train him then. So I will be busy." Third stated.

"What busy? It's just pick them up," Lin Qing He refuted.

Third didn't say anything. Lin Qing He spoke: "Your third aunt wants to find a match for Wu Ni in the capital. Do you know any of your second brother's classmates and friends?"

It would be great if Wu Ni could marry over to the capital. There'll be so many nieces here.

Chapter 650. Call


Because Zhou Qing Bai said observe, Lin Qing He, who was originally hadn't paid attention, watched along.

Ah Die's appearance was very ordinary. It can even be said to be average. It can only be said that she wasn't ugly. But this girl was indeed a hardworking and pragmatic.

What's more, her needlework was excellent. She probably learned her cooking skills from her mom. It was also top-notch.

Of course, the most important thing was Ah Die's character.

This was indeed a very sensible girl. She never tried to flatter herself and will do her own work diligently. She looked after the garden and trim the branches and leaves during her leftover time.

And because of arrival, the furniture at home had a hard time collecting dust. Even in at the corner and cracks.

Looking at it this way, this girl was decent.

Because Zhou Qing Bai also had this intention of matching Ah Die to Gang Zi, Lin Qing He was naturally going to test Auntie Zhao's water.

After all, she knew that Ah Die hadn't married yet. But she didn't know whether Ah Die had sought someone.

"Young Die is a big girl. She's not young this year. Auntie Zhao, did you find someone for her?" Lin Qing He smilingly brought up.


The nanny, Auntie Zhao jollily replied, "She is not young anymore. It's just, this lass wants to delay it for two years and marry when the family's conditions are better."

"Now our house got the two of you, it shouldn't be that bad?" Lin Qing He said with a smile.

Lin Qing He had never asked much about Auntie Zhao’s family. It was a rare chance to ask today. Auntie Zhao had nothing to hide and told, “There are two younger brothers under her. Both of them are in high school.”

Ah Die was in the middle. As for the siblings above her, they all married and couldn't help the family.

Auntie Zhao's husband had passed away few years back. At that time, the conditions in the family were particularly difficult. It was Ah Die who went to earned some money through helping people deliver coal in the winter. If not, they wouldn't be able to survive that winter.

Since accepting Lin Qing He's employment as a nanny, the conditions at home had improved a lot. Although Ah Die was unemployed, she would still deliver coal before she came here.

She earned very little. It more or less some supplement.

Still, it can't compare to working here. The salary was really high.

"The conditions at home wasn't great before. Some people have come to talk about it. However, she herself wasn't willing." Auntie Zhao replied.

In fact, she held some selfishness, because if her daughter is married, she will be under more pressure on her own. Her original plan was to wait until her two youngest sons enter college and have their own subsidies before letting her daughter marry out. They were in second year of high school. Still a year to go. It won't be too late.

"Now that you have this job, it's more lighter." Lin Qing He smiled.

"It is." Auntie Zhao said.

Lin Qing He didn't continue to chat about it. This matter can be discussed again later. Gang Zi wasn't in a rush to leave at this time.

Lin Qing He had a lot of confidence in Gang Zi's marriage matter. The size of the young man was 1.78 meters. Definitely not short.

Most importantly, the young man was very responsible and motivated. After listening to what she said about commercial housing, wasn't he working harder?

Because this year's business had been very good, he had worked harder than last year. Lin Qing He asked him how much he made last month. He jollily answered that he made fifteen hundred.

In this era when a salary of 200 yuan was rare, he can get fifteen hundred a month. What kind of level was this?

The key point was that he didn't smoke or drink. Just wholeheartedly saved for buying a house.

Actually, Lin Qing He wanted to encourage him to do business, but decided to drop the thought. Unless it was a really big business, in ordinary people's mind, it was better to save money in and fight for the future commercial housing when it comes out. It was important to buy a property.

If one have extra money, buy another one. For ordinary people, wouldn’t it be better than doing business?

Lin Qing He called Eldest Sister-in-law that day. Counting the time, she haven't called for a good while now.

Eldest Sister-in-law came to answer after a long while. She merrily spoke: "I was too occupied that I have forgotten all this time and haven't called you."

"What have you been up to, Eldest Sister-in-law?" Lin Qing He smilingly said.

"Recently, those ducks have begun to lay eggs. They always like to lay it outside. Chong Zi and I have to look for duck eggs every day. They are often missed by your eldest brother." Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.

Chong Zi was Zhou Da Ni's husband. Now he raised ducks in partnership with his mother-in-law.

This year the land can be bought and sold. They bought a large piece of land and invested a lot of money in it. Just for raising ducks.


"Then they can lay?" Lin Qing He spoke.

"Yes. The eggs are diligently laid. The ducks raised by others aren't as fast as ours. It thanks to your eldest brother and Chong Zi. They often catch fish and shrimps to feed them." Eldest Sister-in-law explained.

"Then this year's development isn't bad." Lin Qing He remarked.

"This year we have raised too much. Third Brother and Da Wa's maternal third uncle's shop can't ake it all. Currently contacting other shops." Eldest Sister-in-law told.

Her family and her eldest son-in-law's family partnered up and raised more than 3,000 ducks. Majority were female ducks. Once male ducks grew up, many of them were directly sold. They occupied land and rations.

Lin Qing He grinned and asked about Dong Zi's chicken farm.

"Dong Zi almost flipped his face with his brother-in-law." Eldest Sister-in-law replied.

"What do you mean?" Lin Qing He said.

Eldest Sister-in-law recounted the matter. Previously, Dong Zi worked alone and didn’t mix it up. Afterwards he got his three brothers-in-law joining in for some reason. His brothers-in-law called their wives' brother to join in too. Like this, it got messy.

In the end, Dong Zi made some sacrifice to withdraw. He hired someone to start again. The former one's management was directly transferred to his brothers-in-law.

"Dong Zi had came to visit and said that he didn't listen to what you told him. Don't partner up." Eldest Sister-in-law sighed.

"Stung once and become wiser. He is a promising lad. He's still young. It doesn't hurt to suffer a bit." Lin Qing He commented.

"That's right. It's already getting off ground. He have contracted a hilltop. Won't do badly in the future." Eldest Sister-in-law nodded in agreement. Then she recalled and said: "By the way, Third Brother's house has installed a phone. Your third sister-in-law asked me to tell to you when we talk on the phone. She said you should call her to chat when you're free."

"The two can really bear to do it. Our phone was few thousands yuans back then. My flesh bleed." Lin Qing He merrily said as soon as she heard this.

"The two of them have made a lot of money now. What's more, the installed phone can be used by others. They collect money for its usage. They won't lose money." Eldest Sister-in-law smiled.

"That works. I'll call Third Sister-in-law. I haven't talked to her for a long time." Lin Qing He said.

After taking down the phone number given by Eldest Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He called Third Sister-in-law's side.

Chapter 649. Observation


Wang Yuan was a tea lover. Probably the family's biggest customer. Of course, he gave him a 30% discount.

Coming here to buy the tea, the tea was not only good, but the price was also cheap. He can drink it himself, or take it back to Wang's house, or gift it to the customer.

This batch of new tea, he tried it with Zhou Qing Bai first. The tea taste was very pure.

So when he left, he took three thousand yuan worth of tea with him.

Lin Qing He saw this payment when she looked though the ledger and remarked, "Why did he buy so much?"

At this time, the price of tea wasn't as expensive as that of later generations. It wasn't all hyped up. Of course, some teas weren't cheap at this time.

Such as the very rare Da Hong Pao tea.

Lin Qing He had got a batch of Da Hong Pao. She knew this Da Hong Pao was definitely not the authentic enough, because the real authentic ones were in Wuyi Mountain. They had to use trained monkeys to climbed up and collect it.

"His business is so big, three thousand yuan worth of tea is nothing." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

Gifting customers and partners was a necessity. He have to buy a lot every month.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything. Zhou Qing Bai mentioned the swimming pool.

After entering June, the weather had already started to warm up. The swimming pools have started to open one after another. From this time to the end of September. Open for three months or so.

Lin Qing He thought how she hadn't exercised for a while, so she didn't object.

The next day, the couple handed over the errand of picking up Mi Mi from school to Third and drove over there.

The summer vacation hadn't arrived yet, so there weren't so many people. Still, there were people swimming.

Lin Qing He changed into her swimsuit and went into the water. She spoke, "Don't worry about me. I will swim slowly by myself. You swim yours."

From his youth till now, Zhou Qing Bai had always liked to swim. Besides, he was in a swimming pool, so there was nothing to worry. Zhou Qing Bai went to swim on his own.

Zhou Qing Bai took special care of his body now. Except for taking the whole family to for a check up twice a year, he ran in the morning and play basketball in the evening. Usually, he looked at the ledgers and manage the accounts. The dumpling shops which he used to passed time wasn't opened much. His whole day schedule was fully arranged.

Precisely because of this, his physical strength was still top-notch even though he wasn't young anymore. His lung capacity was also great.

Lin Qing He couldn't do it. After swimming one circle, she watched him swim. She waited until she had rested before continuing.

"When will our land begin to operate?" Lin Qing He asked both of them stopped to rest.

"Want to operate it now?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.

"Wait until the tea business in Hai City stabilizes and we come back from Hainan before we discuss?" Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

It takes a lot of money to build that piece of land. Even if they set up a farm, there were all aspects to consider. The initial investment was also a sum.

Especially when their family still owed a large sum of money.


The couple took a comfortable swim. When they came back, they faced the interrogation of their little girl.

"Third Brother said Dad and Mom went swimming. And didn't take me." Little Mi Mi complained.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled and held her up: "When you're on holiday, Dad will take you there."

"She's still small." Lin Qing He said.

"It's okay to take a dip," Zhou Qing Bai responded.

With her dad's promise, little Mi Mi beamed. Then she began to share with her father what she had played with her friends today.

At the end, she said: "Today, Pang Pang was naughty. He fought with someone and made him cry."

"Fight ah? How did the teacher deal with it?" Lin Qing He asked.

"I gave him a coconut candy from my schoolbag and he stopped crying. He made up with Pang Pang." Little Mi Mi told.

Pang Pang was Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni's son. He grew up sturdily. He often got into fights in the kindergarten, whether it was beating others into tears or being beaten into tears.

Little Mi Mi had gotten used to cleaning after him.

"Hasn't all the coconut candy given to you been eaten? Why are there still some? Where did it come from?" Lin Qing He looked at her.


Little Mi Mi froze. Then she turned to her dad. Zhou Qing Bai coughed dryly and said, "I gave her one more."

"She's that little. How much can she eat? Do you want her teeth to stay intact?" Lin Qing He gave him a displeasured eye-roll. This man was good at everything, but he was really unprincipled when it came to his daughter.

"Seeing how you helped Pang Pang today, we won't discuss this candy. Next time, don't hide it from mom with Dad. Otherwise, we will go out on a trip and we won't take you. "Lin Qing He spoke.

Don't at her age. She can understand and express everything. She was clever, otherwise she can't coax her dad's IQ to plummet.

"Then I will be obedient in the future. Dad, Mom, you have to take me wherever you go," Little Mi Mi responded.


Only then, Lin Qing He let it drop.

Third asked, "Mom, Auntie Zhao's daughter called Ah Die, right?"

"En." Lin Qing He responded.

"Mom, did you tell her to come over to work?" Third asked.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qing He looked at him and said.

"Mum, didn't you say it's not suitable to find a young one as a nanny?" Puzzled, Third asked.

"Ah Die is someone that behave." Lin Qing He replied.

She really didn't plan to recruit young nanny. After all, there were men in her family and adult sons. Quite inconvenient. Especially when their character were dubious. Ones that easily cause trouble.

However, from what she see, Young Die was a good girl. First of all, her mom, Auntie Zhao, was a straightforward person. Since this year until now, Xiao Die had come here a few times. Every time, she came to help. She immediately return after helping out. Never wandering around and prying around.

Lin Qing He noticed it long ago, but didn't comment about it. She seem pretty decent. What's more, there was indeed a lack of staff at home. So she let her come.

Right now, it never came to Lin Qing He to consider her nephew, Gang Zi. She asked Third: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
She noticed Ah Die avoided talking to these unmarried young masters. Not someone without a clear mind.

"Nothing. Just curious. I thought you were going to match her with Gang Zi." Third jollily responded.

Lin Qing He was taken aback. It wasn't just her. Zhou Qing Bai too. He glanced at his wife.

"I didn't have that intention." Lin Qing He told the truth. It was simply helping out at home. Ah Die was a good worker. She was working with her mom. She felt that these two's salary levels will definitely enable them to do well.

She really didn't think so much.

"Observe. Just observe." Zhou Qing Bai said.

It wasn't that he felt his nephew was worthy of a better one. When it came to marriage, marrying a down-to-earth was enough. Zhou Qing Bai's principle was to not pursue impractical and overly ambitious goal.

AKIT7 28

Chapter 28


"Puchi......"

Wan Chun Ju couldn't help burst into laughter.

She didn't understand why her man admired her mother-in-law so much before, but now she understood a little bit.

It felt so satisfying to watch her mother-in-law refute others!

Mother-in-law, go refute!

Qiao Hong Mei was as red as a cooked shrimp. She felt angry and hatred: "Mom!"

Chen Qiao Qiao suppressed a grin. Internally, she thought that it was useless to call Empress Dowager at this time!

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan have adopted a free range attitude towards the discipline of the children from childhood until adults.

As long as they didn't commit crimes and lazy bum that drag others down, the husband and wife will basically not govern them.

However, Qiao Hong Mei was an odd one.

Since she was a petty child. The whole family was living their life, while she persisted on stirring up palace drama everywhere. Like she can only be happy when there was no peace at home!

She and Xue Chuan found out and gave her a severe lesson. Only then, she constrained herself a lot. Still, Hong Mei was like a tree with a crooked neck. Crooked all the way through and couldn't be twisted straight.

Take Second as an example.

Before Qiao Zhen Jun was paralyzed, Qiao Hong Mei often got him to make furniture for her. Qiao Zhen Jun was embarrassed to ask his sister for money, so he had to pay for the cost by himself. For this, Fang Xiao Juan often argued with him.

After she and Xue Chuan knew about it, they didn't say anything.

But Qiao Zhen Jun had been paralyzed until now and Qiao Hong Mei had never came back to visit. Let alone get someone to send something back!

One can't be too selfish. One can't be too Qiao Hong Mei!

The atmosphere was awkward.

At this moment, a babyish voice came from the door: "Grandmother, Grandfather, your little cutie is here again!"

As soon as the voice fell, a red bundled, little dumpling Da Qiao swung her short legs and appeared at the door.

There were two small buns tied on her head, which looked like two small balls hanging on her head from a distance. They trembled and shook as she walked. So cute.

The straight-faced Qiao Xiu Zhi immediately blossomed as soon as she heard the little dumpling's baby voice. The corner of her mouth release a hint of happiness. This made Qiao Hong Mei dumbfounded from watching.

She can't wait to turn around, wanting to see who was capable of this.

But when she saw Da Qiao, she was stunned.

The little girl walking towards them was wearing a little red cotton-padded jacket. Her small face was flushed, her lips were red, and her teeth were white. Her big black grape-like eyes were bright and energetic. Very beautiful.

She felt that the little girl was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her for a while: "Mom, whose child is this little girl? Why is she calling you and Dad that way?"

Wan Chun Ju glanced at her strangely: "Hong Mei, your eyes okay? Don't you recognize Da Qiao?"

Qiao Hong Mei got choked to death: "..."

She can be blamed for this?

The little girl in front of her was fair and tender. Where was sallow faced, yellow haired stutterer?

When Chen Qiao Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Wan Chun Ju.

Can't blame Qiao Hong Mei for not recognizing Da Qiao. She hadn't been back to Qiao's house for more than half a year. Da Qiao's changes during this time were very huge.

Even Qiao Family who saw her every day spent every day in amazement during this time.

Although Da Qiao gave the jade bead water to Qiao Family to drink, there was limited quantity. The amount they consumed was far less than Da Qiao. On top of that, it was unknown if the jade beads can recognized Da Qiao as master, so the effect on her was much bigger than the others.

So during this period of time, Qiao Family and villagers in Qili Village "opened their eyes" and watched Da Qiao transform from an inconspicuous little stutter into a powdered-jade little dumpling.

What made everyone even more surprised was that Da Qiao's stuttering was completely cured!

Many children stuttered when they were young, but gradually disappeared after they grew up. However, Da Qiao’s condition was very serious. Everyone thought that she would be stuttering all her life, but suddenly it got be better!

The villagers in Qili Village inquired with Qiao Family. But the problem was that Qiao Family didn't know why Da Qiao's stutter stopped all of a sudden. And became so pretty!

Some people secretly said that Fang Xiao Juan was actually the person who was the calamity.

Look. As soon as she left, the pear trees in Qiao's small yard bloomed. The old hen laid eggs. And Da Qiao stopped stuttering!

On the other hand, during this period of time, the chicken flew and dog jumped at Fang's house.

First, they was beaten by Lin Family. Then received by Qiao Xiu Zhi's. Finally, they got chased by a wild boar. Fang Fu Gui still can't get out of bed. All this started when Fang Xiao Juan returned to Fang's house!

Fang Xiao Juan was so angry that she almost miscarried when she heard these rumors!

When Da Qiao walked in, she saw Fourth Paternal Aunt and shrank her neck as she greeted, "Fourth Paternal Aunt."

She remembered that this paternal aunt didn't like her. She kept her face straight when she saw her.

Qiao Hong Mei disliked Da Qiao. Partly because she was influenced by Fang Xiao Juan and felt that she was a natural born calamity to all her relatives. And also partly because she herself did not like girls!

She gave birth to four daughters in a row. So she found girls an eyesore. She didn't like the smart Xiao Qiao too.

Qiao Hong Mei stared at Da Qiao. Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets: "Are you really Da Qiao? Why are you suddenly completely different? And you don't seem to stammer anymore? What is going on?"

She reached out and grabbed Da Qiao's hand. She was very heavy-handed as Da Qiao's hand immediately reddened.

Da Qiao frowned in pain. She struggled hard but couldn't break free.

A slap rang out!

Qiao Xiu Zhi stepped forward and patted Qiao Hong Mei's hand: "Let go! Such a grown adult and still can't control your strength. Didn't you see the child's hand was grabbed red by you?"

Qiao Hong Mei let go with an "Ouch".

Seeing a big red mark on the back of her hand, she became more furious: "Mom, just say it. Why hit me?"

From the time she walked in, her mom had been going against her. Was she treating her as her own daughter?

Qiao Hong Mei felt hate and felt wronged in her heart!

Da Qiao immediately ran over to hug her grandmother's thigh. She raised her head and said softly: "Grandmother, I came over to give you and grandfather eggs. Gu Gu laid eggs again!"

A smile appeared on Qiao Xiu Zhi's face: "You can eat it yourself. The old hen in the family lays eggs every day. You don't need to bring it here!"

Little dumpling, Da Qiao shook her head. The little buns on her head shook: "I just want to give to Grandfather and Grandmother to eat. After eating, become healthy!"

Although the old hens in the Qiao's old house laid eggs, there ware too many people in Qiao's old house. The eggs weren't enough. On the contrary, the father and daughter in Qiao's small house often can't finish their eggs.

Qiao Xiu Zhi took in the child's thoughtfulness and smiled deeper. She stretched out her hand to rub her little buns: "Then take it in and give it to your grandfather to store it. Your grandfather saved a candy for you. Go in!"

Little dumpling Da Qiao’s eyes brightened instantly. She swallowed the saliva in her small mouth and replied, "Grandmother and Grandfather are wonderful. Da Qiao likes Grandfather and Grandmother the most!"

Flattery!

Wan Chun Ju stood behind and rolled her eyes.

During this time, Da Qiao had not only changed a lot in appearance, but also in her personality.

That little mouth was like smeared with honey. Coaxing her parent-in-laws until they almost took out their hearts to give her!

Chen Qiao Qiao didn't feel much about her parents-in-law doting Da Qiao. Although she liked Xiao Qiao, she did not hate Da Qiao because of it.

In her eyes, Da Qiao was the same as the other family members.

The same as in getting ignored.

When Qiao Hong Mei saw that her mom ignored her existence, but was so kind to the unlucky ghost, Da Qiao, her eyes instantly hid daggers inside!

Qiao Hong Mei had arrived for a while and Xue Chuan had never came out. Hearing Da Qiao's voice at this moment, he immediately appeared: "Da Qiao, have you come to see Grandfather?"

Little dumpling Da Qiao swung her short legs and ran over: "Grandfather, I haven't seen you and Grandmother for one night. I miss you so much!"

Xue Chuan laughed. The expression on his face softened: "Grandfather and Grandmother miss you too. It's cold outside. Come in."

Little dumpling Da Qiao touched the padded jacket on her body as her eyes became crescent from happiness: "It's not cold. The clothes made by Grandfather are warm!"

Qiao Hong Mei felt even more uncomfortable when she heard that her dad made the clothes on her!

"At home, weren't you always missing your grandma and grandpa? Why do you all act like mute now that you see them? Well, hurry up. If you can make your grandma and grandpa happy, maybe you will also get a new clothes each!"

She took in how her four daughters stood at the side like quail. All dressed in gray. Completely incomparable to Da Qiao. It was enough that they can't compare in looks, even their mouths were incomparable. Her angered flared up even more!

Wan Chun Ju snorted when she heard these words, "Hong Mei, you don’t look good, but you can think very prettily! Your daughter isn't part of Qiao Family. Even Dad and Mom are rich and got nowhere to spend it, they still won’t make clothes for them!"

Dreaming too beautifully!

Neither of her daughters wore new clothes. A married daughter still wanted new clothes?

Not to mention her daughter, there was none for An Ping, the only grandson of Qiao Family!

Chen Qiao Qiao couldn't help but glanced at Wan Chun Ju again.

Don't know if it was her imagination, she kept getting the feeling that Wan Chun Ju's angering people to death skill seems to be more and more like Eldest Brother.

Qiao Hong Mei was was close to exploding: "Eldest Sister-in-law, do you have to begrudging with me at every turn like this?"

Wan Chun Ju curled her lips: "I'm telling the truth."

Speak such shameless words and not letting people talk about her?

Why? Because of her big pie face?

Qiao Xiu Zhi said indifferently: "Everyone go in."

Once again, Qiao Hong Mei was ignored by her own mom. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot!

...

At noon, Qiao Hong Xia was still nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Hong Mei was the first to complain: "What's with Third Sister? If she isn't coming back, don't she know to get someone to pass a word? Everyone is waiting for her!"

She said this, but no one agreed with her.

Qiao Hong Mei gritted her teeth with anger, stretched out her hand, and secretly pinched her eldest daughter, Chen Zhao Di: "Zhao Di, didn't you say you are hungry? Then quickly beg your grandma. Get your grandma to make a big pot of meat for you to eat!"

Qiao Hong Mei gave birth to four daughters in a row; named Chen Zhao Di, Chen Lai Di, Chen Qiu Di, and Chen Huan Di.

Qiao Hong Mei gave birth to four daughters in a row; named Chen Zhao Di, Chen Lai Di, Chen Qiu Di, and Chen Huan Di. The girls were only one year apart. The eldest Chen Zhao Di was eight years old this year, one year older than Da Qiao.

Chen Zhao Di wasn't good-looking. She had an honest personality that doesn't know to how to butter up people. She didn't receive Qiao Hong Mei's like. She and Da Qiao were in the same boat.

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan found this child pitiful and would look after her a little bit more than often when they came here. However, Qiao Hong Mei would take advantage of this. She used Chen Zhao Di every time to get benefits. This made Qiao Xiu Zhi dislike her even more.

With unsettledness on her face, Chen Zhao Di whispered: "Grandma, I...I want to eat meat."

If she didn't do what her mom said, it would be a rolling pin waiting for her when they got back.

Qiao Xiu Zhi stood up with a cold face: "Old fifth's wife, you come and help me today."

Qiao Hong Mei paid no heed to her mom's expression. As long as she achieved her goal, it was fine: "Eldest Sister-in-law, as the eldest daughter-in-law, Mom didn't call you to do things, but Qiao Qiao instead. Did you offend Mom?"

Wan Chun Ju spat out the pumpkin shell with a "pah": "What do you know! This is Mom doting me. Aren't I pregnant? Mom doesn't want me to work so hard, so she didn't let me do anything!"

Qiao Hong Mei was taken aback. Her eyes fell on her belly: " Eldest Sister-in-law, are you pregnant again?"

She gave birth to four daughters in a row, so naturally she wanted to fight for a son. But since her fourth child, she had never been pregnant again.

Wan Chun Ju rubbed her belly proudly: "Of course. I'm pretty sure this child is a son again!"

Qiao Hong Mei's eyes went red with jealousy.

Taking in her reaction, Wan Chun Ju became even more proud: "Hong Mei, you have to hurry up. You are not young anymore. In a few years, you'll be an old yellow pearl. You will not be able to give birth even when you want to give!"

Qiao Hong Mei: "..."

After the New Year, she was only twenty-six years old. In a few years, she still won't be at the stage of being an old yellow pearl!

Although Wan Chun Ju was very annoying in the past, she had never targeted her at every corner like today!

And what was going on with her stinky mouth? Why did it feel like she received a blessing and the words that came out almost choked people to death!

...

Da Qiao and the four Chen sisters were playing eagle catch chicks game outside.

 (Cute. Last bit looks like how the game is played.)

Da Qiao played the hen and Chen Zhao Di played the eagle. The few of them laughed and screamed. Having a great time.

The second child, Chen Lai Di was the same age as Da Qiao. Since seeing Da Qiao wearing new clothes, her eyes had not left Da Qiao's body.

At this moment, she played the role of a little chick hiding behind Da Qiao. While running, she spoke: "Da Qiao, your new clothes are so beautiful!"

Da Qiao revealed a mouthful of small shell teeth and smiled until her eyes were crescent: "Grandfather made it for me. It's embroidered with white rabbit and Gu Gu!"

Naturally Chen Lai Di noticed and was completely envious in her heart.

As the second child in the family, her clothes were all old clothes from her elder sister. She had never worn such beautiful clothes: "Da Qiao, can you lend me your clothes to wear?"

While avoiding Chen Zhao Di, Da Qiao refused and said, "No. Grandfather made this for me. I can't lend it to you to wear!"

She couldn't even bear to let Xia Qiao wear it. What's to this cousin sister, whom she had no feelings for.

Chen Lai Di gritted her teeth with fury and pulled her clothes hard while she verbally pleaded: "Good Da Qiao, just for a bit. Lend it to me to wear!"

Da Qiao stopped abruptly due to worrying about her clothes getting torn by her.

Chen Lai Di didn't expect that she would stop suddenly. The feet under her couldn't stand firmly and fell forward with inertia. Instantly she flat on the ground.

Her chin had knocked against ground fiercely. Her lips and chin were all scratched. The skin of both palms were also bleeding. Immediately, she cried out with a "WAA".

Qiao Hong Mei ran out when she heard the cry. She saw the blood on her second daughter's face and her face instantly became dark: "Why do you fall so hard? What if you get scars? How can you marry in the future?"

While crying, Chen Lai Di's eyes spun around: "Mom, it's Da Qiao. Da Qiao pushed me!"

Qiao Hong Mei didn't care about her second daughter. She turned around and targeted Da Qiao: "You black-hearted thing, why are you so vicious in your young age?"

Da Qiao's face flushed red: "You lied. I didn't push you!"

Chen Lai Di rolled on the ground: "It's you! It's you who pushed me!"

Qiao Hong Mei had been repressing the fire within her ever since she arrived. She was already very uncomfortable when she saw Da Qiao wearing new clothes. At this moment, she heard what her second daughter said, she made up her mind to teach Da Qiao a lesson no matter if it was true or false!

She raised her hand to slap Da Qiao.

At this moment, a piece of dry wood flew over behind her!

With a "bang", the dry wood heavily hit her back!

Qiao Hong Mei's back received this attack and she cried out with an "Ouch". The pain made her almost spit out a mouthful of blood!

Before she could look back to see who hit her with a dry wood, she heard her mom's voice booming from behind: "Qiao Hong Mei, take your daughters and scram out of Qiao's house now!"

Qiao Hong Mei's face went from red and white. She was closed to tears: "Mom, Da Qiao is your granddaughter. Them I'm not your daughter? And Zhao Di sisters aren't your granddaughters? You can't be so biased!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi came over and pulled Da Qiao behind her. She coldly responded: "Human hearts are always biased. If you think I am biased, then don't come back!"

Qiao Hong Mei was so mad that she grinded her teeth. She said bitterly: "Alright! You said this yourself. Don't beg me to come back in the future!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly watched her. No one else in Qiao Family said anything to keep her. Qiao Hong Mei almost vomited blood from anger.

Turning to her eldest daughter, who had a scared expression, she swung her hand and slapped her: "Useless thing. How do you act as the eldest sister? Didn't I tell you to take good care of your sisters before going out?"

A bright red palm print appeared on Chen Zhao Di's slightly dark face. The tears fell from her eyes but she did not dare to cry like Second Younger Sister. She only dared to cry silently.

Qiao Hong Mei kicked her second daughter and shrieked: "Still not getting up. People don't welcome us. Do you want to stay here to make people disdain us more?"

Chen Lai Di received a kick from her mom and cried louder.

Chen Qiu Di and Chen Huan Di saw that their two elder sisters were crying. They were so scared that they started crying.

So the group of five left Qiao's house with four crying. They immediately attracted the attention of others.

Gossipers immediately surrounded them.

"Isn't this Hong Mei? Why are you leaving when just you came back?"

"These are your daughters, right? Why are they all crying? What happened?"

Qiao Hong Mei put on an aggrieved expression: "My second daughter was pushed down by Da Qiao. How can I feel distress as the mom? I just said a few words to her and my mom can't stand it. She kicked us mother and daughters out. My heart feel cold. It's completely broken!"

"Why is it Da Qiao again? Every incident got to do with her!"

"Isn't that right! That the kid is really spooky!"

All the way back, Qiao Hong Mei sang about Da Qiao. When she walked out of Qili Village, the anger in her heart was mostly vented.

After leaving Qili Village, there was a small forest. The entrance of the small forest was covered with half-person-high weeds and bushes. The branches were densely packed. Most people dared not freely enter it.

When the mother and daughters passed the entrance, there was a sudden noise from the wild grass.

With sharp eyes, Chen Lai Di caught sight of a gray rabbit running over: "Mom, it's a rabbit. What a big rabbit!"

Qiao Hong Mei noticed it too. She was very excited!

Without even thinking about it, she made a chase.

Such a fat rabbit. If it can be caught, there will be no shortage of meat this new year!

She followed and pushed aside the weeds. However, the rabbit was nowhere to be seen.

The next moment, she heard a "buzzing" sound from far as well as near.

When she looked up, the black and dense cluster looked very scary.

What was it?

Soon she knew.

That was a group of Asian tiger mosquitoes!

The scientific name of the mosquito was Aedes albopictus. It was a very aggressive mosquito and a media that spreads viruses.

Qiao Hong Mei's face turned pale when she saw so many mosquitoes flying towards her!

She turned around and wanted to run. How could she have time to escape?

"Ahhhhhh...Aiya...Aiya... Someone save me now..."

Chen Zhao Di sisters were scared silly!

The four sisters opened their mouths wide as they dazedly watched their mom jump and scream. Screamed like a pig getting slaughtered.

Chen Lai Di came back to her senses first and pushed her elder sister: "Elder Sister, go and save Mom!"

Chen Zhao Di was very scared. But at the thought that if she go over to rescue her mom, her mom would definitely think she was the most filial later. Maybe she wouldn't scold her again in the future!

Chen Zhao Di gritted her teeth and rushed in. Soon there was another scream in the grove.

A few hours later, Chen Xing saw his wife and eldest daughter come back with their faces covered with buns. He couldn't help but be stunned: "What happened to you?"

Qiao Hong Mei felt itchy and painful. She gritted her teeth and answered, "We were bitten by mosquitoes."

Chen Xing didn't take it seriously when he heard that they was bitten by mosquitoes: "Did you borrow the money?"

The state-run restaurant wanted to raise funds to build properties. Chen Family wanted to get a hand on two-room house. Although the money in hand was enough, daily living will definitely be on a tightrope if all was taken out. So after they discussed it, they decided to get Qiao Hong Mei return to her maternal home to borrow money.

Qiao Hong Mei's mind buzzed and then remembered her purpose of returning to her maternal home this time.

She originally planned to go back and borrow a few hundred yuan from her mom. Unexpectedly, she was angered by Wan Chun Ju and Da Qiao. Afterward, she completely forgot about it.

When Chen Xing saw this reaction of hers, his face was immediately pulled down: "What? Didn't you get the money?"

Qiao Hong Mei shook her head.

Chen Xing's voice suddenly raised: "You didn't borrow a penny back? Didn't you say that your mom would definitely lend you money? Didn't you say that you are favored at home? Why can't you get back a penny now? "

Qiao Hong Mei didn't dare to let out half a fart.

At the beginning, she insisted on getting two hundred yuan as a dowry from home in order to marry Chen Xing. She had also lied to Chen Xing, saying that she was the most favored daughter in the family. It was because of this, Chen Xing agreed to marry her.

"Useless rubbish!"

Chen Xing slammed the enamel jar to the ground. He flung his sleeves and departed.

Qiao Hong Mei hurried to catch up, but Chen Xing was nowhere to be found when she chased out to the compound. Instead, everyone saw her swollen face. Her face was flushed with agitation.

Qiao Family wasn't upset because of Qiao Hong Mei's departure. Instead, the atmosphere became more comfortable.

Only Da Qiao was a little worried: "Grandfather, Grandmother, did I mess things up again?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi asked her: "Did you push Lai Di down?"

Da Qiao shook her head: "No. She didn't stand firmly and fell down."

"Since you didn't push her, then this matter has nothing to do with you!" Qiao Xiu Zhi stated, "You must remember, there are many people in this world who do wrong but don't want to admit it. When you meet this kind of person, you have to stay away from them. If they push the matter to you, you don't have to be afraid. Go up and beat them until they are looking for their teeth all over the floor when necessary. That way, they won't dare to mess with you!"

Qiao Zhen Jun: "..."

Was it really good for his mom to teach Da Qiao like that?

Da Qiao tilted her little head and turned her head to look at her grandfather.

Xue Chuan rubbed her little head and said, "What your grandmother said is correct."

Everyone: "..."

Dog food really appeared all the time.

Da Qiao’s long eyelashes fluttered like two small fans: "Just like how Grandmother used a dry wood to beat Fourth Aunt?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded: "That's right. If anyone dares to bully you, beat them fiercely. Don't persuade with words. Just go up and do it!"

Little dumpling Da Qiao patted her chest and declared in her babyish voice, "Okay. Whoever dares to bully me in the future, I will slap them fiercely!"

Qiao Zhen Jun: "..."

He seemed to see his delicate and soft daughter was gone forever.

Qiao Hong Xia didn't come to her maternal family even at sunset.

Qiao Xiu Zhi was a little worried. So she got Qiao Zhen Guo and Qiao Zhen Min to go to the neighboring production team.

The two brothers didn't rush back until dark. They brought back news: Zhao Yi Ming was hospitalized with a fever and Qiao Hong Xia had went to the town hospital to take care of her son. She hadn't been home for a few days.

Qiao Xiu Zhi frowned: "It's been a few days. Why didn't she let someone come home and say something?"

Qiao Zhen Min shook his head: "I'm afraid it was Zhao Family who retrained her and prevent her from coming home to tell. Eldest Brother and I will go to town tomorrow."

Qiao Xiu Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Okay. You guys bring some eggs over tomorrow. If there's any matter, immediately come home and say something."

The next day, the two Qiao brothers went to the production team leader's house to get a letter of introduction and hurried to the town hospital.

They thought that their nephew was feverish at most. But when they entered the ward, they saw their nephew lying like dead on the bed and Qiao Hong Xia almost sobbing to death.

Chapter 648. Tea

Since he bought the shop last time, Gang Zi was going all out.

Hu Zi had started to run a shop, while Gang Zi was still setting up a stall. After he renovated the shop, he rented out the shop for ten yuan a month. The tenant sold dumplings.

Now that Gang Zi was working hard to make money. He was looking forward to saving a fortune and then buy a commercial house. As for setting up a stall or opening a shop, it didn’t matter much. Especially now that the stall were doing well.

After washing his face and hands, he came in for a meal. Gang Zi spoke as he ate, "Business seems to be better this year than last year."

Because he went out to set up stall every day and set up in different places, he encounter a lot of people. His brain became a lot smarter. On top of that, he wasn't stupid. So he sensed this.

"Look at how much the salaries have risen now." Third grabbed a piece of chicken and said.

Zhou Gui Lai felt that this year's business was better. For example, his family's business this year. After the beginning of the spring, it had begun to show varying degrees of growth.

Before the monthly income was about 150,000. But just yesterday, he checked his family’s performance chart for the previous month, which his parents didn’t hide from him. They could earn about 180,000 a month. What kind of income level was this?

Although tea shops accounted for the majority of it, other shops displayed a steady rise in business. Such as the beverage shop at the cinema.

Now they restocked once a day. It was evident that business was average.

"Work hard. It's tough now, but you'll enjoy the comfort in the future." Lin Qing He said to him.

"Enjoying comfort is still early. I haven't married a wife yet." Gang Zi laughed.

Lin Qing He understood and jollily said: "If you want Aunt to help you find one, that's okay. However, it Aunt find, I will take my time."

"Don't worry, I don't have anything right now. Being with, she won't have a place to live." Gang Zi shook his head.

"What no place to live? This side is spacious enough. It won't be too late to move out after buying a house." Lin Qing He said.

Toward the two nephews, Hu Zi and Gang Zi, Lin Qing He had promoted them. The home was spacious and there were many rooms. It will naturally be no problem to come over and stay temporarily.

"Hehe, wait until someone is found first." Gang Zi grinned.

Lin Qing He didn't continue on this subject. However, she did keep an eye out for Gang Zi. After all, Gang Zi wasn't little anymore. He was old enough to marry a wife.

What's more, he got a capital's household registration. Marry a girl here since they'll have something to talk about. This nephew wasn't bad, so she won't let him be aggrieved. Look at Hu Zi and Chen Shan Shan. Weren't they living happily now?

They have a shop and a house. They can buy a commercial property and sell the apartment once they make money later. Their current environment was so-so.

They just talked about this and the nanny's daughter came over the next day. She was called Ah Die. About the same age as Gang Zi.

Ah Die came here only once a month. She came today to help her mom clean the yard together.

Every month, she would come to help. Because there was a big clean every month. Her mom had too much on her plate and the courtyard only have her.

One person was a bit too little. So Lin Qing He smilingly asked when Ah Die came over this day, "Does Ah Die have a job now?"

"Madam." Ah Die shyly greeted before shaking her head.

She didn't have a job. Only helped out at home. Her mom accepted the client family's employment. The salary and benefits were excellent. The family's pressure loosened up. That's why, she would come to help free of charge.

The nanny used to work in state-run hotels. But now many state-run hotels can’t keep going. The nanny was laid off early and had no job since then. That was to say, after applying for this job, she returned to her post.

Lin Qing He chose her for two of her strongpoints. One, her excellent cooking. The other was her cleanliness. Of course, the rules were stated clearly. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

Lin Qing He was very satisfied with the nanny so far.

"Since Ah Die doesn't have a job, you can come here and work with your mom?" Lin Qing He merrily suggested.

"Madam, you still lack people?" The nanny was overjoyed and couldn't help but happily blurted.

"It's too tiring for you to work alone in the yard. It's not bad idea to have Ah Die assist you. The salary is the same as you. If you are willing, you can start from today?" Lin Qing He smilingly told.

"I'm willing!" Ah Die rushed to answer. Then she felt embarrassed: "But Madam, I...I don't need such a high salary."

Her mom's salary was very high. However, her cooking wasn't as delicious as her mom's. Although she can do everything else, she can't compare to her mom.

"Working at this home, it's this salary. However, the house rules. Auntie, you should tell them to Young Die." Lin Qing He stated.

"Okay." The nanny responded in delight.

"Young Die also get food and accommodation included." Lin Qing He said.

Like way, there was a little nanny, Xiao Die at home. Xiao Die's appearance was relatively ordinary. And she was more reserved in personality. A good hand at work. She took on all the things like going to the street to buy grocery.

More importantly, she was exceled at sewing clothes. Because she was grateful to Lin Qing He for giving her this job, she made a few dolls for Mi Mi. They were stuffed with cotton. Mi Mi loved them.

This was obviously a clever and deft girl.

What's more, she might have been instructed by her mom as she slightly evaded Third and Gang Zi.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything. She just took it all in. After a long time, one can see people's hearts and words that contain a lot of gold. One will know what character who has after getting along.

In June, the tea ordered by Lin Qing He was delivered.

Third called Ma Cheng Min and the two employees to transport it back. Four carts of tea were brought back. Another tea shop's goods hasn't arrived. It'll be a few days later.

So much tea was delivered to the warehouse in batches.

The warehouse had been renovated by Zhou Qing Bai. The initially large warehouse was divided into two warehouses, one large and one small.

The larger one kept the tea stocks. The smaller one stored the dried seafood.

Lin Qing He came here to have a look. She randomly checked the quality. The quality was very good. No defective goods were used to fool her.

After all, this was a long-term cooperation. The price given was pretty good.

The tea business was doing very well. Hearing the arrival of new tea, Wang Yuan specially drove over here.

"Fourth Uncle, I heard that new tea is here?" Wang Yuan merrily said.

"It's all over there." Zhou Qing Bai was currently drinking tea. He pointed to the tea cabinet and answered.

Chapter 647. Eldest's phone call


After Lin Qing He went home, Mother Zhou turned to Father Zhou and old Wang: "It's hard on Fourth's wife. Have to rely on her inside and out."

"Qing Bai is outrageous." Father Zhou remarked.

"Those who are capable got more work." Old Wang smiled.

"It's true that those who are capable got more work. As a woman, Fourth's wife doesn't have it easy  to always go out to work. If anything to happen, it's better to get Qing Bai to go." Mother Zhou commented.

Although there was nothing to express, the elderly knew that their daughter-in-law, Lin Qing He had worked hard.

Have to say, Mother Zhou deeply admired this daughter-in-law. Even more so, when she went to the park and exchanged information with other old ladies. Their daughter-in-law weren't as good as hers.

There were some daughters-in-law who were filial, but no matter how filial it only amount to so much.

Looking at her life now. There was a nanny waiting on her. How could did she dare to think about it before?

Lin Qing He didn't know the elderly's thoughts. She basically listened to everything she said now. She was older and not as rigid as before. Just follow along. Anyway, it was just coaxing them.

When Lin Qing He came home, she received a call from Eldest. The phone rang when she just got back. Didn't need the nanny to accept the call. She answered it herself.

"Hello." Lin Qing He said this sentence.

"Mom." Zhou Kai smiled on the phone. He could tell it was his Mom's voice.

"Smelly boy, you still know to call back. Mei Jia calls more than you!" Lin Qing He scolded as soon as she heard it was her eldest son.

Weng Mei Jia, the prospective daughter-in-law, would call back once a week. Or two calls when she got free time. She got a lot to chat with her prospective mother-in-law, Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He, the prospective mother-in-law, had done her part too. If the young couple had no time to come back, Lin Qing He will send something over.

For example, the two of them didn't come back last year during the New Year. Third clamored to go there. Jiang Geng wanted to go there too. So Lin Qing He let them. She sent them bacon, grapefruit honey, lemon honey, etc. She also packed a few new clothes for the two of them. The boys brought it there.

On the phone, Zhou Kai jollily responded to his mom's complaint: "It's the same. No difference whether it's your daughter-in-law or your son calling back."

"Mei Jia is Mei Jia. You are you. Don't make excuses for your laziness." Lin Qing He said. Then she asked: "Where have you been recently? I heard Mei Jia say that you are on a mission again."

"Confidential work. Mom, don't talk about this. Mom, I got good news to tell you. I will be promoted this year." Zhou Kai grinned.

Lin Qing He grinned and said: "Promotion is a joyous matter. But when you are outside, nothing is more important than your own body. Take good care of yourself. Don't let Mei Jia and the family worry about you, understand?"

"I know." Zhou Kai responded.

"When will you be back? I just got back from your grandparent's. Your god-grandfather was talking about your wedding with Mei Jia this year." Lin Qing He mentioned.

Eldest Brother's wedding had met with many obstacles. The two brother-in-laws each got married one year after another. It was delayed until this year. Lin Qing He didn't think there was any problem. After all, he was only twenty-four this year. So young.

They were still young. No harm in dating longer. Adapting to each other before marriage will result in less conflicts after the marriage.

Of course, she knew her son. He was like his dad. Once he determined on that person, it was basically a lifetime matter. If he wasn't sure, he won't get into the relationship.

Moreover, this prospective daughter-in-law, Weng Mei Jia wasn't that delicate. She was open and capable. Very suitable for Eldest. So Lin Qing He wasn't worried about the pair's life after marriage.

Zhou Kai merrily answered: "We will go back at the end of the year. We will call in advance. We can do it in our courtyard."

"You haven't come back to see it yet. How do you know if the courtyard is big enough." Lin Qing He amusedly said.

"Third has said the courtyard is very spacious and luxurious. It couldn't be more than for a wedding." Zhou Kai said.

Lin Qing He didn't plan to go out to host it. This was Eldest's wedding. Whether it was Eldest or the two behind, she planned to hold it in the courtyard at home.

"If you have time, you should accompany Mei Jia more often. You go out for so long on each mission. If it weren't Mei Jia, see if others could put up with it?" Lin Qing He spoke.

"I know. She got a day off tomorrow. I plan to take her around the city." Zhou Kai told.

"That's fine then." Lin Qing He was satisfied.

"How are my grandparents and god-grandfather's health?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Your grandparents are okay. Your god-grandfather suffered a lot in the countryside in his early years. It has damaged his foundation. With the current season, he's doing fine now. Once it's winter, he will feel uncomfortable." Lin Qing He replied.

They have been paying great attention to old Wang's treatment. However the effect wasn't much due to his old age.

"I have some caterpillar fungus here. I will send it back in the city tomorrow." Zhou Kai said.

"You and Mei Jia can keep it for yourself to eat. Third went out and brought a bag back. Now they still have it. You don't need to send it back." Lin Qing He responded.

Zhou Kai didn't say anything then. He asked his mom about his dad and his younger sister before hanging up the phone.

"Eldest Young Master called back?" The nanny smilingly asked.

"En. He hadn't called for a long time. Finally, his call arrived today," Lin Qing He replied.

"I've seen Second Young Master and Third Young Master, but I haven't seen Eldest Young Master yet." The nanny smiled.

"He'll come back to get married this year. You will see him then. He looks like Third. Quite similar." Lin Qing He got a lot to say when it came to her eldest son.

"He must be a talented person." The nanny remarked.

Second Young Master and Third Young Master were all talents. Of course, this eldest young master won't be any worse. It was said that he was a military officer. Very astounding.

"Make some soup for noon." Lin Qing He said.

"I bought corn and carrots. Stew a corn, carrot and pork rib soup?" the nanny asked.

"Alright." Lin Qing He nodded.

The nanny busied away. The treatment here was very good. The client family was very educated. She was very happy to work here. It went without saying she had to do her best.

It was rare for Lin Qing He to get the chance to rest. She turned on the TV and watched it casually. She had to go to the school in the afternoon and get some books back for translation. After stopping for a month, her brain became slightly lazy.

This was how people were. Once they become idle, they become lazy.

Zhou Qing Bai returned with his little girl and Third at eleven o'clock.

Seeing his wife at home, Zhou Qing Bai's expression softened. This old man's softness can only be seen in the presence of his wife and his daughter.

After a while, Gang Zi also came over. He rode over on a tricycle, which he used to set up a stall.

Chapter 646. Dependence


While they didn't know what the Xu siblings were planning on their side, everything was calm at Zhou Family. The only thing was that Zhou Qing Bai missed his wife. He felt very unaccustomed since the first day she left.

He hadn't seen her for a whole day. How can he get accustomed to it?

Before this, there was rarely a time to separate. That's why Zhou Qing Bai missed his wife, but he didn't say it.

Though he didn't speak out, little Mi Mi couldn't help blurt out: "Dad, when will Mom be back?"

It had been a long time since she saw Mom.

"Soon." Zhou Qing Bai could only comfort little daughter.

However his little daughter wasn't that easy to assure. She couldn't help asking again before going to bed at night. Zhou Qing Bai had to coax her to sleep.

"It can't be that Mom doesn't want me anymore. We have a kid in our class. Her mom doesn't want her anymore. She is so pitiful. No one will comb her braids." His little girl said pitifully.

Is she going to become a little cabbage without a mother?

"Your mom is on a business trip. She is making money outside. When she comes back, she will buy you delicious food. She didn't not want you." Zhou Qing Bai didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Little Mi Mi looked at her dad: "Mom is gone to make money to raise Dad and Mi Mi?"

"Yeah." Zhou Qing Bai's heart went as soft as something.

Little Mi Mi didn't continue, instead she just said, "Then I will eat less snacks in the future. Mom has it too hard."

Little Mi Mi fell asleep after a while. Zhou Qing Bai was still awake. He covered his little girl with a quilt. With a fan on, it was easy to catch a cold at night. Only then, he thought about his wife as he sleep.

How could Lin Qing He know about the conversation between the father and daughter? This time, she took her son to Jiangsu.

Biluochun from Jiangsu was one of the top ten famous teas. This time she came to buy it.

Jiangsu had beautiful scenery. Zhou Gui Lai spoke: "Mom, the scenery here is this pretty. You can bring Dad over here to play when you are free. Little sister too."

Lin Qing He nodded. The scenery here was indeed pretty. It was a good idea to bring Zhou Qing Bai and little daughter over when she's free.

After signing a cooperation contract here, Lin Qing He returned to the capital with her son.

Following this, she can send someone over here to transport the goods back with it was time. Simply bring the tea back through the train.

The time taken was a few days longer than the originally planned half-month.

Therefore, when Lin Qing He returned home, she met with the resentful eyes of the father and daughter.

"Mom, if you don't come back, I will forget what you look like." Little Mi Mi ran over to her leg, hugged her, and said.

Lin Qing He laughed and picked her up. However, her third brother held her instead: "Third Brother is back too. Why don't you say you miss Third Brother?"

"Mi Mi do miss." Little Mi Mi hurriedly added.

Zhou Gui Lai grinned: "That's good. If not, Third Brother had brought back so many fun things for you for nothing."

On the way to Jiangnan, he saw a lot of fun little toys at Jiangan's side. He felt they were good and brought them all back. There was nothing else. The baggage were filled with these.

When it was taken out, little Mi Mi was overjoyed: "Third brother treat me the best!"

Then she dived into the toys with delight. After seeing it all, she picked out gifts. The small windmill was for Pang Pang, the small steamboat was for the twin brother, the wooden doll for twin sister. Also for her two best friends. Each got one...

Zhou Qing Bai's gaze always remained on his wife and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"A bit." Lin Qing He responded.

Zhou Qing Bai asked the nanny to cook noodles. Then he boiled water to prepare for a bath.

Lin Qing He enjoyed the treatment. She took a bath in the big wooden barrel at her home and finally felt refreshed.

"Five days late." Zhou Qing Bai said bitterly when she was comfortable and full.

Lin Qing He explained, "The traffic isn't as good as the future generations'. What's more, it's rainy over there."
In fact, it was rare trip to take her son out. So she took him to a few more places.

Lin Qing He ignored him. She slept on her own bed. It was still the bed at home more comfortable. Lin Qing He didn't want to move after laying on it.

However, Zhou Qing Bai didn't let her off. He closed the door. The two of them stubbornly expressed their feelings of longing before they slept together.

As for little girl Mi Mi, she was locked out the room by her dad.

Third merrily said, "Come here. Sleep with Third Brother."

"No, I want to sleep with Mom." Mi Mi refused.

"Just now, you said Third Brother treated you the best. Now you don't want to sleep with Third Brother. Mi Mi, you're hurting Third Brother's heart." Third said with a pained expression.

Mi Mi hesitated. Looking at her third brother and spoke: "Okay, but just this time. I will sleep with Mom tomorrow."

"All right." Third nodded and took his sister back to the room. As for his parents, small separation win over newlywedded period. Really, they were already at this age. He had never seen such a clinging couple.

Because Zhou Qing Bai, whose wife came back, seemed to have a second spring. Whatever he ate was fragrant. Whatever he did, he had energy. The nanny privately told Lin Qing He in amusement: "Sir seemed to be listless since you went on the business trip with third young master. Now you are back, Sir is full of energy."

Lin Qing He coughed dryly. She had experienced it last night. Needless to say, he simply showed by his actions. This old man, why do he stick to her so much? It made her feel a little responsible. 

However, Lin Qing He's heart was satisfied.

Zhou Qing Bai wasn't actually clingy. For example, today, when she came back, he did what he had to. Not trailing after her all day long. Still he had the spiritual kind of support. The mentailty she felt after she came back was different.

Lin Qing He came over to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side with two good tea blocks in tow.

Old Wang was there too. Both he and Father Zhou liked drinking tea.

They had moved. After moving to the courtyard dwelling, it was very spacious. Lin Qing He had told Father Zhou, Mother Zhou, and old Wang to come and live there.

But all three elderly refused.

One, their was spacious. Living at their side, the three elderly people can care for each other. What's more, someone was hired to cook and to do housework. They have a lot of free time.

The surrounding got all kinds of living facilities, like park and supermarkets. They were gathering places for the elderly. They were all familiar with living in this area. Zhou Xiao Mei, Er Ni, and others live in this area. It was lively. And there was immediate care if anything happened.

Zhou Er Ni's house had set up a phone. Now they go there to call back to their hometown.

So they didn't go to live in the courtyard dwelling. This side was very comfortable.

"Now you're back, don't go anymore. Just let the people under you go. I saw how unaccustomed Qing Bai and Mi Mi were after you left." Mother Zhou said to her.

"En, I'll let someone else go next time." Lin Qing He smiled.
