Da Wa got home first.
Once he reached home, he grabbed a back basket and headed out to gather pigweed with his other small friends in the village.
These can contribute to the work points.
Da Wa, who was conscious of being the second man in the family, would forage a basket of pigweed every day after school.
He only had enough time to give the schoolbag to Er Wa to help him take it into the house and did not catch Er Wa saying that Mother had bought a huge watermelon back, don’t go out and get pigweed.
The baby was very responsible, so Lin Qing He doesn't govern him too much now. She let him decide on some things on his own.
This was also to cultivate his independence.
For dinner, it'll be a simple meal, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, a soup, and then cornmeal mantou.
When Zhou Qing Bai was off work, Da Wa also returned.
So they ate dinner first.
As for the watermelon, it was a snack after a meal.
"Mother, why are you willing to buy such a big watermelon?" Da Wa's eyes brightened.
"If I don't buy a big one, how can it be enough for our family to heartily feast on?" Lin Qing He said.
Watermelon was one of her favorites. She had asked Zhou Qing Bai, Zhou Qing Bai liked to eat it. The 6 jin watermelon was actually just right, not too much.
What's more, they were still young now. When they get older, two was required to satisfied them all.
After dinner, the brothers started rolling the watermelon.
Dinner was at six. At seven, Lin Qing He got Zhou Qing Bai to cut the watermelon and then divided it between them.
Coincidentally, Mother Zhou came over and saw the family munching on the watermelon. She sighed at how shocking Fourth's family's life was.
Such a life costs a lot of money.
"San Wa, give a piece to your Grandma." Lin Qing He said.
San Wa grabbed a piece of watermelon and handed it to his grandma. Now, this little brat can understand people's words and can express himself clearly.
Mother Zhou received it and mentioned, "I just heard that your maternal family's Third Sister-in-law had given birth."
Lin Qing He froze for a moment, then her brain reacted, it was Third Brother Lin. When she went back before New Year, she didn't know that the Third Sister-in-law Lin was pregnant.
Even though she didn’t have a good impression of Third Sister-in-law Lin, she still liked Third Brother Lin very much. Must give Buddha face, even if one doesn't to the monk, so she nodded. "I'll see how it is after my brother come over with happy news."
The watermelon was very delicious. It tasted average in Lin Qing He's opinion, while the children were obviously satisfied with it. Even Zhou Qing Bai also enjoyed it.
"Next time I go to the county city, I'll buy another one." Lin Qing He promised.
The brothers cheered in joy. Although the time was now 7 o'clock, the sky was still not dark. The kids took Fei Ying out for a walk.
Lin Qing He knew what was up without asking, she didn't intervene.
Kids, it was good to have a little hobby.
"Tired?" Lin Qing He turned to Zhou Qing Bai: "Do you want me to give a massage?"
Zhou Qing Bai was not tired, but it didn't stop him from enjoying his wife's services. Now that the three children weren't home, he readily let her massage.
