When she reached the county city, she headed to Zhou Xiao Mei's place. Only then she found out Zhou Xiao Mei had already given birth.
She gave birth to a girl, who was already passed two months old.
Lin Qing He felt admiration: "You're capable in giving birth. Two sons and two daughters."
This was a perfect balance.
Zhou Xiao Mei was nurtured very well by Su Da Lin. Her whole body was round and plump. She pursed her lips in mirth: "This daughter is very noisy. More troublesome than the previous three."
The words sounded full of disdain, but Zhou Xiao Mei's eyebrows displayed full of joy.
This came from someone who said she only wanted one daughter.
Now she got four.
Su Da Lin hadn't got his holiday yet. When he got home from work at noon, he saw Lin Qing He and happily called out: "Why...why did...you cook?"
It was almost 11:50 when he came back. Zhou Xiao Mei didn't know how to cook, so she just waited for Su Da Lin to come back.
Su Da Lin didn't complain at all.
After so many years, it was the honest truth that Zhou Xiao Mei really married the right person in this life.
Since she came over, Lin Qing He might as well do it.
"It's not a large matter." Lin Qing He smiled and said, "I have to congratulate you, Brother-in-law. You become a dad again."
Su Da Lin had a giant grin on his face.
His parents only gave birth to him. He was lonely since childhood. When it was his turn, he had two sons and two daughters. Life couldn't be more satisfying.
After lunch, Lin Qing He took out a roast duck, which was wrapped in greased paper, from the bag.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, why didn't you take it out at lunch," Zhou Xiao Mei asked.
"If I want to eat, I can easily get some. The ones in the bags are for other people." Lin Qing He replied. She also gave some snacks and candies to the children.
Then she put the package on the back of the bicycle, which she let Su Da Lin tied up and went home.
As for Zhou Xiao Mei, she hadn't got time to go back to her maternal family this year. The baby was still so small. Su Da Lin alone was sufficient for the family visitations.
When Lin Qing He returned home, Zhou Qing Bai wasn't at home. He and Third Brother Lin went hunting pheasants and rabbits.
Mother Zhou and San Wa were at home. Er Wa had joined his father.
"Qing Bai was going over the day before yesterday. But thinking that you'll be coming back, he didn't go. And waited at home instead. He waited yesterday. Since you didn't come back, he went out today. Now you're actually back." Mother Zhou was amused.
Lin Qin He found it funny as well.
"Mother, are you hungry? I will make you a bowl of dumplings?" San Wa asked.
"No need. Just came back from your youngest aunt's house." Lin Qing He answered.
Then she began to assign tasks: "Send these roast ducks to your three uncles."
There were also some for Eldest Sister and Second Sister. However, they were quite a distance away. Once Er Wa comes back, she'll let Er Wa deliver them.
As for other neighbours, there was no need to gift. That there are no worries about unfair distribution. No matter how much there, it'll never be enough to share. No one will say anything if it was only for families.
