Chapter 701. The end
Earlier, Lin Qing He had wanted match Gang Zi to her maternal niece, Lin Xiu. However, the two didn't need her to match them. At some unknown time, the two of them quietly dated by themselves.
Later, Lin Qing He noticed that the atmosphere between the two people seemed to be different and asked about it.
And discovered that it had been happening for almost two months!
Although Lin Qing He reprimanded her maternal niece, there was nothing else.
She watched Gang Zi grow up. He was a hard-working and diligent. In the future, he won't do badly.
In the early '90s, Gang Zi couldn't afford to buy a house. He bought a commercial house of more than 80 square meters in the mid-'90s. The location was very good. He spent 160,000 yuan.
It was almost all of Gang Zi's net worth.
Gang Zi and Lin Xiu married in the same year the house was bought.
Lin Qinghe took care of the furniture for them. The whole set of furniture were treated as her wedding gifts for them.
The two were blissful after marriage. Lin Xiu still worked as an accountant at Lin Qing He's side. As for Gang Zi, he set up a stall for two more years. Then he didn't continue to set up stalls anymore.
After 'Grandpa Zhou' chain store went into operation, he directly became the manager of a few "Grandpa Zhou' shops and began to receive his salary.
Still his luck was good. Didn’t he buy a store before? That store was demolished and the area was used to build a road. So he was compensated a lot.
With this money, Gang Zi changed for another shop. A particularly good shop. Then he went over to study in his maternal aunt's dried good shop for more than half a month. After that, he came out and opened a dried good shop by himself.
He collected the goods from his maternal aunt's shop, which was very convenient.
His luck was really good. The shop hadn't opened for long. In less than half a year, a new market was built over there.
So Gang Zi made a fortune. It was definitely a good profit. One can tell since he went to get the goods twice a month.
He and Lin Xiu had a daughter. The family of three lived happily.
Xu Sheng Qiang had married a wife. She was a local citizen in the capital. She wasn't pretty but she was very capable inside and outside.
It was Lin Qing He who introduced her to him.
Later, the two married and gave birth to a son. Lin Qing He got Xu Sheng Qiang couple to buy a house in the late '90s.
She didn't pitch in but gave a proof of income. She told them to go to the bank for a loan on their own. Then they can slowly repay it later.
Speaking of Xu Sheng Qiang, there was another thing worth mentioning. His elder sister, Xu Sheng Mei.
Later, his elder sister Xu Sheng Mei divorced again and never married again. But she didn't mingle bad at all. Only had a poor reputation.
Because she later matched with an old man who was more than 20 years older than her. His son was older than her and still she went to be a stepmother.
Out of the second generation, Zhou Er Ni married the best.
She married Wang Yuan. Although Wang Yuan was rich and powerful, he wasn't a playboy. He had a very strong relationship with Zhou Er Ni. The twins were sent abroad to study.
The two of them couldn't be any more carefree.
Zhou Si Ni had also married well. She married Weng Guo Dong, who had an iron rice bowl. Which was safe and stable and their social status wasn't low.
After Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo went out on their own, their business wasn't as good as Lin Qing He's side. Still, it wasn't bad either.
The couple had bought a flat at the end of the '90s. It was more than 100 square meters. Still, they bought it in full.
According to Zhou San Ni's statement, after buying this flat, she can feel at ease.
Zhou Wu Ni settled in Hai City. Jiang Heng took care of the business in Hai City. The two got dual income. They had borrowed Lin Qing He’s place to stay until '02. Only then, they went out to buy a house by themselves.
The one that had the best relationship with Lin Qing He was Zhou Xiao Mei.
Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin came together a the beginning thanks to her. Later, they lived happily. All four children were college students.
Of course, with Lin Qing He's support, Zhou Xiao Mei paid a down payment for the four siblings. Then she told them to go to work by themselves and repay the loan for their own house.
Anyone in the capital basically had at least one house of their own.
So when the real estate here in the capital turned over, all these young people grinned ear to ear.
Fortunately, they bought it early. Otherwise can they still afford it? A small house was worth millions, which was a sky-high price.
Everyone in Zhou Family had it stable in the capital. No matter what, they didn't need to rent a house. They were at the forefront and all have their own houses.
Later, Mother Weng, this in-law family, also bought a house under Lin Qing He's suggestion.
Because the clothing business wasn't do very good, it was better to buy a house to rent out. There was income every month.
Of course, because the shop was bought by herself in the past, there was no rental payment required. Mother Weng wasn't worried about losing money. So the couple's life was relatively secure.
They were all covered by social insurance. There was no cost to see a doctor and take medicine.
The development in their hometown was also very good.
Third Brother had changed his motorcycle to a truck and opened another shop. Still, he couldn't compare to Third Brother Lin in the end.
Third Brother Lin bought two houses in the county city. When the two houses were bought, one was 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Later, it rose to 100,000 yuan for one. Still, Third Brother Lin didn't sell it. He held on to it.
Even when Third Brother didn't know, he revealed it to his third sister, Lin Qing He.
He will leave it to his two sons in the future.
Both of Third Brother Lin's sons were also doing business in the county city. They were considered to have inherited their father's profession.
Zhou Xia was also living well. While, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had never seen each other again for the rest of their entire lives. The money was sent back every month.
Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law were almost the winners in life. They are cadres in the village and their days were vibrant.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai lived to their nineties.
When Lin Qing He got up that morning, Lin Qing He had a hunch. She was at this age, how could she not have an idea?
Lin Qing He smilingly told Zhou Qing Bai: "My space is gone. I think it's almost time for me."
Zhou Qing Bai just grasped her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. I will be with you."
Lin Qing He left in the afternoon. She had departed very peacefully. All the children came over.
Zhou Qing Bai passed his final words.
There wasn't much to instruct. Because their age was high, the family property that should be divided were divided and the will that should be made were made.
So after giving his final words, Zhou Qing Bai took his wife's hand and lay down beside her slowly. Before he died, he only said: "Wife, I'm coming. It's dark underneath, I'll accompany you. Don't be afraid."

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for translating! I am having mixed emotions now that we reached the end. I loved reading this everyday.. i waited every morning for a new chapter. This is my absolute fave out of all the translated novels i've read! So thank you thank you so much for translating!
ReplyDeleteDang that last paragraph was super sad for whatever reason. Also sad to see this story go after nearly two years of reading
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly surprised. In the mtl I didn't really understand the implications but doesn't this mean that ml burried himself alive with his wife like in ancient times where the husband died and his wife had to be burried alive with his corpse? Or otherwise he just stayed next to her and everyone just waited for him to die so that they can bury them together? (3rd option also exists: magically dies 1 second after)
DeleteThank you for translating this all the way to the end. This novel was one of the things that gave me reason to wake up in the morning. It feels sad that it's all done now but I'm happy that everyone got their own happy ending. I'm probably gonna reread this in the future but now I'm gonna wallow in tears because it's all done😭

ReplyDeleteThank for this wonderful journey ❤ the best part was always knowing I would be able to read this everyday without fail 🤗 I'm excited for what might be next ��
ReplyDeleteBeen reading this since high school and now I'm a uni first year, really feel like I grew with these characters. It would be on my mind the whole time if I forgot to read an update before going to school.
ReplyDeleteHonestly props to the author of this book because Qinghe went from feeling like a friend, to a cool older sis ,to a mom and to a mentor. I'm still a kid but I feel like I could be a cool matriarch of a big family following Qinghe's example. I'm seriously going to miss this story😭, though I plan to come back and binge from the beginning again, it just won't be the same as waiting excitedly each day for the the next chapter on the Zhou family. I'm so happy for everyone. Thank you so so much Maggie for your hard work.😁
It started in march and it ended in march
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Maggie. I literally shed a tear because the ending was bittersweet. I'm really glad I discovered this novel, but at the same time I'm sad to see it end. I'm just glad that LQH and ZQB got to live a long and happy life together. Thank you once again for the hard work and dedication!
ReplyDelete-Frostmercy (Philippines)
Maggie, congratulations on finishing this novel! I have been a big fan of it since it started. Quite sad that it is now over but i guess all good things do come to an end
ReplyDeleteThis always made my day everday and it helped me go through the end of the day for a few years when I feel lonely and I just want something light and fun and feel like I'm the MC through LQH helped me through the pandemic specially and with my online class. This novel made me feel like I have a family online and made me connected with each characters :) this was really fun and very real to readers like me. Thank you Maggie for connecting us the readers with this novel :)
ReplyDeleteThank You so much for such a wonderful novel.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the novel. I felt like I've been living with them throughout the 701 chapters. I really wish they meet again in their next life (if it exist) and their children and descendants again. Maybe it's a fantasy world this time where they can live longer and hopefully forever.
ReplyDeleteIt has come to an end! I can't believe it! 😢
ReplyDeleteI will miss waiting for your updates! This was a really good novel and we couldn't have enjoyed it fully without all your hard work! Really, thank you for sharing this novel with us! 🥰 I never thought I would read, from beginning to end, a novel where I could really follow and see the growth of children like this one has described. Like, I was fully invested in the life and growth of this family! XD
And now, it is with a bittersweet feeling that I'm off to the next novel! ��
It still feels so unreal 😭. So we are done with this book. Thank you for the hard work. Now I can re-read the book 😍
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It's like ive watch the kids grow and felt the satisfaction of being a parent. Thank you for the daily updates. Appreciate it.🤗🤗
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this with us. I really enjoyed it and will miss it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this wonderful journey! And thank you for the hard work! I really enjoyed reading a lifetime of these characters. It's as if yesterday the three sons are still little dumplings and LQH is struggling with farm chores lmao. Good memories were made in here. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your hard work translating this novel! I will miss my weekly anticipation for this novel. As you can see, I chose to read weekly so I could read more chapters. Now I feel nostalgic ~3~

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this translation with us!!!! I'm usually a lurker, but had to say something now that it's the end. I'm going to miss this; it really did become a routine to read..... An emotionally feel-good space that never let me down. <3
ReplyDeleteSuch a great story. Crying that its over. Thank you for the wonderful translation. I was hungry many times reading this at midnight.
ReplyDeleteI can't find another such novel. What are you people reading now?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the hard work.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the hard work. I feel bittersweet 😔 Reading this, ot felt like I was living day by day with them. This is why I love reading slice of life stories. This is definitely one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for such long journey, and I love it.. wish u can take another story to translate and stay healhty *big hug*
ReplyDeleteOne of very few books (or anything for that matter) I've regularly followed. Usually just want to binge things like this but this one kept me coming back almost daily.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the translation Maggie!
binge read the entire thing in 4 days, teared up at the last sentence :) thank you for translating!! wondering what happen to those gold she collected in the 60s lol
ReplyDeleteI sincerely, thanks Maggie-Sama for translating this wonderful slice of life Chinese culturally packed story, thank you, i blitzed through the whole 701 chapters in more or less three days, i kinda regret that now, and i appreciate stories that doesn't let people blitz through them because it's so fun slowly and surely watching them live their lives, will reread someday in the future, it's been fun!
ReplyDelete-K
Revision for K, it was a week, not three days.

ReplyDeleteThis is my second read, it still made me tear up.. it was a great journey and thank you for translating it, thanks to you I got to read a very beautiful story. (The 500 buns, I will never forget you)
Thank you for translating. Appreciate all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a perfect novel, but it helped me pass the time. I liked going through a bit of China's history, like how the main couple navigated through controlled birth system. Those bits that seeped out were really interesting to me.
It's a Chinese novel, so a lot of it is aimed towards what Chinese readers would like. How the author went on and on and on about heights, how the business/profits/salaries were listed out in long details, how the men's prowess in bed is, how MC was obsessed with appearances and this 40 year old woman could pass as a 20's older sister, etc. Like... I get it, it's not aimed towards me, which is why it wasn't appealing to me. It's a very long novel, so there was a lot more of these things, but proportionally, it's probably about the same as other novels? A lot of it could have been cut down, but I'm sure a lot of other readers enjoyed it even though it was much of the same thing.
Sorry, I'm just rambling. Thanks again for picking up this story and translating it. 700 chapters is a lot. You're super amazing for completing such a monstrous task!
Thank you very much for the hard work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for translating this wonderful novel.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the translation i enjoyed this
ReplyDeleteThanks for your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your work! I can’t believe it’s already the end.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I will be able to finished the entire novel as there's a lot of chapters, but still, I enjoyed reading it. It's like watching a drama, wherein you're intrigued what will happen next. Will be missing everyone. Thabks Maggie for your hardwork! I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking me along this journey so far, I've just gotten to bingeing the last couple chapters. I will honestly miss this series, given I actually have an impression of all the characters by the end of it.
ReplyDeleteThis slice of life brought me through a period of Chinese history that I grew enamored by; it's a period which my parents grew up in, so it goes to say that I feel reconnected even though this is historical fiction. I loved how the golden finger was still relatively used, and I like how they wrapped up the timeline (I was waiting to hear about the dog after all this time, and I couldn't be anymore satisfied with all the couplings. Second eldest's side story came to be a surprise though heh).
This is such a good story!! I can't believe it ended so soon for me. I binged read this book everyday and I finished reading 701 chapters in less than a month. Thank you for translating this awesome book! 😎👍
ReplyDeleteI loved this so much, Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm literally crying, so happy for all of them! I will all miss them. Thank yooooouuu!!💞💞💞💞💞
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved it. I'm crying. It's one of the best stories I've read. So well developed and thought out. I'm sad but really happy. Thanks so much for the translation 💕
ReplyDeleteI just finished re-reading it and huhu. It's really so nice. Thank you so much for translating this awesome story. ❤️
ReplyDeleteIs there a way we can see the results from the Google Forms? I need to know if my couple and fav character is popular ba (Er Wa and Mian Mian, and Er Wa is my fav) anyway thank you so much for the translation 💛 If I had to say smt I didn't like is that the romance of San Wa was a bit boorish, also for the little daughter, but it was okay I guess
ReplyDeleteThank you for translating this. Though its unfortunate i had to endure a few days of feeling empty because of thr ending, i really want to post this comment to let you know i am very thankful that i was able to read this gem on english
ReplyDeleteThis slice of life made me think about life, my family, my parents at 4am
Hi Author,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for creating this novel. Though it really looked like a Journal in the first place, I fell in love with the story and made me feel im part of the family. I have read tons of novels, red hundreds and thousands of chapters but this one strongly resonated to me for some reason.
I wish I could have seen what Qing he looked like. I missed her so much. I teared up a little when she said her space is gone and she thinks its her time soon
Can't believe I cried at the end. A friend recommended this to me, it's worlds apart from what I usually read but strangely it was comforting. I got really invested when Qing Bai came home. I wanted to know if that girl went to the south and opened a brothel again? Maybe. And the buns that she ordered in the beginning and didn't pick up lol and her collage friend and child? . Thanks to everyone for the experience, readers who kept the journey real with your comments and discussions and our beloved translator Maggie.
ReplyDeleteIt was good and I'm glad that I read it. Thank you and goodbye.
ReplyDeleteIvy B. Was here.
Im a dude and I cried at that ending. I binged read this for a whole week and dont regret a moment of it. Thank you very much for translating this.

I started reading when the novel was already completely translated and now at the end of it I feel like I watched this family grow and expand before my eyes. I could read the 700+ chapters all over again.
ReplyDeleteThe translation was top notched and the little explanations in red were so thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work.
I’ve read a lot of transmigration novels and this has to be one of the most satisfying. I’ll look for more of these ‘60s , ‘70s style novels because I’ve just fallen in love with the genre.
The last paragraph touched me. This novel is very interesting both from the side of the main character and supporting characters. the conflict is also light and not too difficult to understand.Thanks to the translator for working hard to translate this novel to the end.
ReplyDeleteI think the author of the novel was very kind to add a side story when Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He died, because I think a story really ends when the main character dies.I'm sorry for commenting so much, but thinking back I will definitely miss Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He a lot.
Thank you for translating this wonderful novel and I really enjoyed it😍😍😘😁
ReplyDeleteStumbling on this story at around chapter 200s, I got hooked and read the entire novel in MTL. It's great to read this novel again in English this time. LQH is truly a guide on living a successful transmigrated life! 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggie for introducing this story to us! Stay safe and healthy always. 😊
Thank you very much for your efforts in the translation of this novel, the translation was very good and understood, i have been reading this novel for this whole week and i can't help but feel a mixture of satisfaction and happiness over the journey of both LQH and ZQB and their family and sadness and yearning for more after reading the last chapter. Again thank you truly for your efforts.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for completing this novel!
ReplyDeleteLatecomer, but Thank you for translating this to the end. And Thank you for attempting to attempting to name check. 😆
ReplyDeleteThanks to the translator for allowing us to read such a nice novel. I thinks its been or less since i found this site of yours. Kind of sad since it end but anyway it was a nice read. I really like story overall.
ReplyDeleteThanks.. an epic storyline... My 1st slice of life book that iv read.. hope someone make this piece into a drama series i should definitely watch it
ReplyDeleteWuwuwuw I'm crying. Thank you so much for this. I'm so happy that the author specified the endings of each key characters. Im so happy to watch this family grow into the way that they are now! Ty <3
ReplyDeleteI have been reading "重回六曶:种田发家养崽崽" for nearly a week now. It feels cozy and contains an incredible amount of chapters (701). It reminds me of the harsh realities of life—pain, suffering, disappointment, and aging—so I'm hesitant to part with it. I've gained a lot of knowledge and self-reflection as a result of this, which serves as a constant reminder to act morally and merit morality. That the story has to end makes me very sad. I'm getting more and more invested in the story as it goes along. The story takes place in 70s ancient China and follows the couple into their 90s years of age.
ReplyDeleteI was very depressed by this scene: "So, Zhou Qing Bai took his wife's hand and laid down beside her slowly after giving his last words." The only words he spoke before passing away were, "Wife, I'm coming. It's dark underneath; I'll accompany you. Don't be afraid."
Not all antagonists are blatantly bad; some may still be on the correct track, and not all protagonists are correct because they are still flawed but have learned from them. These are the kind of novels I hope to see soon. Many thanks to whoever did the translating.
The most moving passage I've read in the entire story is the final paragraph. 💖 Life must go on in underworld then.
DeleteI must say this is one of a kind and my most beloved favorite book of its genre. 💖
ReplyDeleteThank you for the translations. I like to think they both reincarnated into a new book together.
ReplyDeleteI’ve reread this novel so many times and that last line that ZQB says to LQH hits me in the heart every time. I always cry a little. Such a beautiful love
ReplyDelete3rd time reading this novel in full. Love it every single time.
ReplyDeleteWill come back next year.
Thank you so much, Maggie. 🙏
Suddenly remember this story. Too bad she didn’t go back to get the remaining food she ordered before transmigration. Is it the same world or a different world?
ReplyDeleteIt's the novel world.
DeleteWow Maggie! Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Maggie. Thank you very much for the hard work translating this.
ReplyDeleteI first discovered this story back in 2020 when it just have around 30-40 chapters translated by you. I just went straight to mtl to read until the end and threw it back on my mind ever since. Then i Saw the familiar title again in NU recommendations. Just took a week to completely reread it all again.
Now that im older, i can appreciate more and understand things i didnt before in this story. Theres a lot of lesson to learn just by reading this.
Im glad the family prosper. I wish mine, and yours too.
It was a pleasant journey.
~Beloved
