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.
"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.
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.

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?"
"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.
