While Mother Zhou had trouble sleeping. She flipped and turned over during the night. Father Zhou couldn't help but utter, "What are you doing?"
"Old man, haven't you thought about it?" Mother Zhou said.
"Thought about what?" Father Zhou asked.
"What if something happens by chance when Fourth's wife get admitted?" Mother Zhou voiced her worry.
At first, she was happy when she heard fourth daughter-in-law took the college entrance examination. She had the same thought as Father Zhou. If they both got admitted, there would be two college students in the family.
How many generations of our ancestors hadn't been so brilliant?
But later Mother Zhou felt that it wasn't appropriate. If Fourth's wife really passed the exam, then what should the family do after she went to college?
Old Fourth, Er Wa and San Wa will have to stay at home.
Once she goes out to study, she'll be surrounded by college students outside. Fourth's wife was so pretty and knew how to interact. Don’t know how many people she would attract.
How can Mother Zhou feel reassured?
Father Zhou never considered about this aspect. When he heard his wife say these things, Father Zhou simply rolled his eyes: "I think you had too much oil content and got your brain clot by oil."
"What are you talking about?" Mother Zhou unhappily responded.
"How could this kind of thing happen? You forgot how old Da Wa and his brothers are? Fourth's wife isn't stupid. Would she be willing to leave her three sons to have children with others and raise again from scratch?" Father Zhou rolled his eyes.
What kind of temper did Fourth's wife have? She was such a clear minded person, how could she do such a stupid thing.
Hearing what her old spouse said, Mother Zhou felt it got some reason.
Still, Mother Zhou wasn't at ease.
With Mother Zhou's older generation's traditional mindset, she still believed that it was better for women to stay at home and don't go out by themselves.
Besides, she (Lin Qing He) still has a job at home, teaching in junior high school. There was salary of more than ten yuan a month. Work points too. How great was that?
Was there a need to go study something like a university?
"Don't say it in front of Fourth's wife." Father Zhou reminded. Fourth's wife did show them respect, but she didn't want them to get involved in her matter. Otherwise she would just flip her face.
Mother Zhou acknowledged his words. Then she came over to her son the next day to talk about it.
"Qing Bai, say, can your wife pass the college entrance examination?" These was Mother Zhou's first words.
To his mother, Zhou Qing Bai won't conceal it. He nodded and said: "My wife can pass the exam." He felt it wasn't just passing. She would obtain an excellent result in the exam, because ever since his wife returned from the exam, she was in extremely good mood.
Seeing her silly son being like this, Mother Zhou whispered, "Don't you have any thoughts?"
"What thoughts?" Zhou Qing Bai stared at his mother.
"If your wife gets admitted to college, she will have to go far away to attend university. Then what will happen to you and the children?" Mother Zhou Mu asked and then continued: "Besides, your wife is doing fine in the village now. She got salary and work points. Who doesn't respect her when she goes out? Where is it necessary to go to this university?"
Zhou Qing Bai understood then. He knew that his mother was doing this for his own good. He had heard his wife say in the future, this academic qualification was very important.
And he also knew that his wife wants to get out of the village. Going to university had the best career path.
"Don't worry about this, Mother. Da Wa will be in the same school with his mother." Zhou Qing Bai said.
Mother Zhou was taken aback, and then she was delighted: "Really?"
If grandson and his mother were in the same school, it couldn't get any better.
The eldest grandson was that big. He'll know that he needs to take care of his mother. He won't let other college students have thoughts on his mother.
"But can your wife beat Da Wa?" Mother Zhou couldn't help but say.
Old man had said their grandson was very good at studying. He was born in the present, but if this was in the past, the top scholar and the likes was possible.
Zhou Qing Bai grinned: "Da Wa said he might not be able to beat his mother."
Mother Zhouwas shocked, and uttered: "Da Wa can't beat your wife?"
"Let's talk about it when the results come out. However Mother, there's nothing to worry about. I have discussed these matters with Qing He a long time ago." Zhou Qing Bai said.
His mother's worries was what he was worried about before. After all, his wife was too good. After going outside, will she see a better man than him?
Just last night, cough cough, she promised him that she won't abandon her husband and her sons when on top of him. She was reluctant to part from such strong and excellent sons she raised.
It's only a few years of university. It will pass in a blink of an eye. After these few years, he will be more relaxed in the future. At that time, he will go to visit her from time to time.
If he can, he can find a business to do and then move his household registration over and bring the children over to reunite.
But for now, they will need to be separated for a while.
Although Mother Zhou was still a little worried, she was able to sleep better than before.
Afterward Lin Qing He clearly felt her mother-in-law's attention and care.
Lin Qing He mentioned this to Zhou Qing Bai in private: "Does Mother think I will run away with someone?"
If not, why would she treat her so well all of a sudden? It wasn't just this. She also hinted at her that Qing Bai was a great man and the children were outstanding. If she kept at it, she will definitely be able to sit and enjoy the happiness in the future .
Zhou Qing Bai smiled: "Mother is more traditional-minded. She felt you are doing wonderful in the village. Don't worry, she won't stop you."
Lin Qing He nodded and asked, "What is Da Wa doing? I haven't seen his figure for the whole day."
"He rode the bicycle to the city early in the morning. He said he would stay at his aunt's house for a few days and visit his classmates," said Zhou Qing Bai.
Lin Qing He knew then. Da Wa must have been looking for Han Xu Jie.
Have to say, this male protagonist's personality and charm was really strong. Her son was willing to be close to him. For now, the two were good friends, so Lin Qing He didn't interfere too much.
Da Wa stayed in the city for three days. When he returned, Han Xu Jie came back with him.
Han Xu Jie had also brought clothes and rations. This time he wanted to stay for a few days.
Lin Qing He: "..."
This Murphy's law was really terrifying. The more she didn't want to it to happen, the more it does. Lin Qing He still hypocritically expressed welcome. Even Zhou Qing Bai didn't sense that she didn't welcome the male lead.
Han Xu Jie came over to live for three days. He liked the Zhou family very much. He had a very good relationship with Er Wa and San Wa. When he went back, he had some reluctance. Still, he went home.
Lin Qing He shook her head. Although he was the male lead, he was still a young boy. He went wild with her three mischievous sons these days.
