[Part 2] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 266

Er Wa and San Wa saw their mother as soon as they got home.

The two brothers were naturally surprised.

"Mother, why are you back?" Er Wa said happily.

"I thought Mother, you would come back later!" San Wa also said.

Lin Qing He hadn't seen her two mischievous boys for almost half a year. She was naturally happy to see them growing up.

"On summer break now. So I took the opportunity to come back. Summer harvest has always been very busy, so I came back to cook for you. Whoever I neglect, it would never be the one, who put the most effort in our family?" Lin Qing He cheerfully replied.

Er Wa and San Wa grinned.

"You're hungry, right? Go grab two pastries to cushion your stomach." Lin Qing He said.

Since she got a space, she also brought some stuff. Some local specialty from the capital, but because of the hot weather, the roast duck wasn't taken out. There were a few in her space. She kept it for Zhou Qing Bai as a supper.

Lin Qing He, who didn't realize that she was excessively spoiling her man, started to stew pickled vegetables and eel.

Mother Zhou came back early. She was also delighted to see Fourth's wife's return: "Last night I told old Fourth that you'll come back soon. I didn't expect you to return today."

Then she noticed there was no bicycle and asked, "Why didn't you borrow the bike from Xiao Mei? It's a long way."

"There happened to be a tractor returning to the neighboring villager. I came across it, so I just hopped on and didn't go to Xiao Mei." Lin Qing He answered.

Mother Zhou nodded. Lin Qing He turned to her two sons: "Give your grandmother some cakes to fill her belly."

San Wa went to get a piece and said, "Grandmother, taste it. It's scrumptious."

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "I don't need to eat this. It's nearly mealtime."

Still, she accepted it. Only Fourth's wife would buy such pastries and snacks. Sometimes she'll make them by herself. She (Mother Zhou) didn't know how to make these.

In their generation, the craftsmanship can only be preserved as long as the family doesn't starve.

"My mother also bought a big watermelon back. After dinner, Grandmother and Grandfather don't rush home." San Wa continued on.

"Your mother is back, are you happy?" Mother Zhou ate the cakes and laughed.

"Of course." San Wa proudly responded.

Then he was sent by his mother to feed the chickens and ducks in the backyard.

Lin Qing He asked while cooking, "Mother, why did you raise so many animals this year?"

She had seen several ducks and ten hens when she came back. Quite a number.

"The policy had changed this year. They don't care about it anymore." Mother Zhou explained: "Last year, after the old duck soup you made, your father raised more this year. Initially, I didn't want to raise so much."

Lin Qing He smiled and said: "Then keep it for our own family for the end of this year. I will come back to make it again."

"Alright." Mother Zhou merrily agreed.

Look at Fourth's wife now, she was really satisfied in all aspects. She got such a good eye at the start and found such a good one for old Fourth, right?

What Mother Zhou didn't know, the one she found was one that could truly ruin three generations.

Father Zhou and Qing Bai Zhou didn't come back until about half-past six.

As soon as he came back and saw his wife, he froze. Immediately, Lin Qing He saw the apparent joy in the man's eyes.

"You're back? Wash and prepare for dinner." Lin Qing He smiled.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai replied and went to wash his face and hands before preparing to eat dinner.

The dishes were the same. But somehow, Lin Qing He's one tasted different. It always matched Zhou Qing Bai's taste.

What's more, this guy was really hungry.

It was no wonder since he ate breakfast before dawn in the morning before setting off and worked until noon. He took a break to eat before continuing to work until this moment. Even iron couldn’t stand the beating.

"Eat more. There is no meat at home today. I'll go over and make reservations with Sister Mei later." Lin Qing He said in distress and piled a bit more eel for him.

"Mother, don't just focus on my father. It's not easy for me and my second brother. Not only do we have to go home to cook, but also participating in the summer harvest. There is no other young men who are more capable than us." San Wa declared.

"En, you eat more too." Lin Qing He conveyed with her mouth as she continued to add food to her man's bowl.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were basically used to it. They calmly ate their own food. After taking it all in, the old couple was also deeply relieved.

The fourth couple’s relationship was great. Although it was out of the norm and the children were already that big, it was still wonderful to be like a young couple.

"Father and Mother, you should eat more. In this weather, you two must also pay attention and escape the heat when you're helping out." Lin Qing He said to the two elderly people.

"Even though it's hot, we can still bear the heat." Father Zhou nodded.

"There is also a place to cool off over at the sun-drying courtyard. Don't worry." Mother Zhou added.

She was helping out at the sun-drying courtyard.

Although she normally didn't work, it was still the same sentence. On days like summer harvest and autumn harvest, all helped out. It didn't matter how much work was done. Participating was enough.

Otherwise, if the weather was unpredictable, one can be flooded by the whole village's saliva.

In the past, Lin Qing He was bombarded by this treatment. She had always been rough and thick skin and just didn't take it seriously.

Later, she became a school teacher out of nowhere. After successfully flying up, it was a wave of reputation cleansing.

The family just finished eating, when the three sisters-in-law came over.

Now the relationship between the sisters-in-law was okay.

Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law even brought eggs over. They were especially grateful to Lin Qing He for giving Zhou Yang and Wu Ni lessons last year.

The two's performance raised from the lower middle level to the middle level. The improvement was obvious. The formulas that were taught by Lin Qing He was indispensable.

At least the part that was covered by Lin Qing He, Zhou Yang and Wu Ni had grasped it.

So, the two came to thank her.

As for Second Sister-in-law, she brought two jins of black sesame seeds. She was also grateful. This year Zhou Xia went to work as a carpentry apprentice. This position was introduced by Zhou Qing Bai.

Fourth branch didn't look down on the old Zhou family because their prospects had developed well. They even helped the other three branches.

Excluding the sesame seeds from Second Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He refused the rest: "I like to eat sesame, soybeans, and the likes. Take the eggs back. If you want to give something, just give some sesame or soybeans.

Before she came back, she bought a few baskets of eggs from the county's black market. Probably because everyone had raised a lot this year, the supply of eggs was abundant.

So Lin Qing He didn't plan to accept the eggs from Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law and urged them to keep it.

Eldest Sister-in-law was embarrassed to ask if she could give supplementary lessons for the two children.

Third Sister-in-law was the same.
