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

Chapter 329

Ma Xiao Dan was very happy. He stored away his glass marbles and came over.

Zhou Gui Lai noticed Ma Xiao Dan's dirty hands and said: "Wash your hands first. If you don't wash your hands, you will have worms in your stomach."

Ma Xiao Dan had roundworms before. It was only after taking medicine was it gotten rid of. He immediately obediently washed his hands and then came over to eat dumplings with this big brother.

Aunt Ma was extremely pleased and said, "This is your brother. Call him Brother from now on."

"Brother?" Ma Xiao Dan looked at Zhou Gui Lai.

Zhou Gui Lai grinned: "That's right. I am your brother. From now on, you can come to watch TV at my home in the evening. As long as you call me Brother."

"Brother, is TV good to watch?" Ma Xiao Dan asked.

"It is. Extremely interesting. You'll know when you come over to see it tonight." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.

Aunt Ma merrily went to wash the dishes, leaving the boys to eat and talk over there.

Lin Qing He and her eldest son came over for dinner. Old Wang didn't come.

When the time arrived, Aunt Ma took Ma Xiao Dan back. Ma Xiao Dan was too curious about the TV that Zhou Gui Lai mentioned and didn't forget to say, "Brother, go home quickly."

"No problem." Zhou Gui Lai waved his hand.

When Ma Xiao Dan left, Zhou Gui Lai sang the same old tune again. He turned to his mother: "Mom, if you gave me another younger brother or sister back then, they should be this old now."

"Don't you know that firewood and rice are expensive? Don't you know you brothers weren't easy to take care of?" Lin Qing He irritatedly responded.

"How were we difficult to take care of? We all grew up free-range." Zhou Gui Lai replied.

"Free-range. It was really free-range. Have to make clothes every year. Also, there were milk powder, malted milk powder, and milk candy. When you got bigger, have to buy football, order fresh milk, eat eggs every day, eat meat every three to five days, and various school supplies..." Lin Qing He listed each and everything to him.

Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mei, who had closed the clothing store and came over for dinner, were stunned.

As for Zhou Er Ni, she knew about it.

There were no words for her fourth aunt's lifestyle. Not only old Zhou family's kids envious of Zhou Kai and his brothers' lives but also the children in the village were envious.

Her fourth aunt basically belonged to the label 'that mother'.

But Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mei didn't know. Even at this moment, the items their aunt mentioned were still precious.

Lin Qing He tallied up the account and said: "Don't talk about our village, even in our area and the children in the city don't have it as good as you brothers."

Zhou Gui Lai's lips twitched and spoke, "Was our family so rich back then?"

"At that time, our family was considered going beyond our depth. At that time, your grandparents weren't included in our family. Within the whole family, it was only your dad who went to the field. How much money can you get with one point? If it weren't for your dad's few hundred yuan of retirement fund at that time, it would have been a problem to feed your brothers. You dare to ask me to have another child. You brat, don’t you feel heartache for your parents.” Lin Qing He said.

"I do. How can my heart not ache? Once I grow up, I will do all the work. You and my dad can travel around the world. Go wherever you want to go. If you are short of money, you don’t need to tell me. I will transfer it to you every month." Zhou Gui Lai immediately promised.

"That's more like." Lin Qing He found it pleasing to hear. Only then, she let him off without nagging him anymore.

"You had a good life when you were young," Hu Zi remarked enviously.

Not to mention him, Xu Sheng Mei's face was full of envy.

"It's all in the past." Zhou Kai laughed.

But he knew that there were no words for their childhood. No way can anyone compare to them.

After the family had dinner, Zhou Qing Bai stated, "Watch the shop." 

It wasn't eight o'clock yet. He was going to watch a movie with his wife.

The dumpling shop usually closed at around 8:30, not so late.

Lin Qing He was in a good mood and went to the movie with Zhou Qing Bai.

"My parents must have gone to the movies again. They really know how to enjoy life as well as being too affectionate." Zhou Gui Lai emotionally remarked.

Really, he had never seen anyone like his parents. The brothers were all this old and they still have such a good relationship. They have to go out to watch movies every few days and don't give them a chance to disturb them.

Really knew how to enjoy.

"You guys go back. I can watch by myself." Zhou Kai waved his hand.

Zhou Gui Lai went home to watch a movie with Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mei. Zhou Er Ni stayed to help.

"Sister Er Ni, is it hot at night?" Zhou Kai asked.

"It's not hot. It's very cool with a fan," Zhou Er Ni responded.

There was also a fan at the dumpling shop, which was used in the dumpling shop during the day and on the second floor for themselves at night.

This was no fault in this lifestyle

Zhou Er Ni washed all the dishes and chopsticks and then went to read a book.

Although she had reached third grade, she knew only a limited number of characters. Her fourth aunt told her to read more when she had time. If she encountered a character she didn't know, then ask.

She had been reading books since she came over this year. Now it was hard to come across words she can't recognize in the book. Although there were some, it was relatively less.

Zhou Kai was also reading his own book. It was half-past eight. The last two people who were dating had finished their dumplings. Zhou Kai closed the shop.

He brought Zhou Er Ni back home to watch TV. Later, he'll send her and Xu Sheng Mei back to the dumpling shop.

It was quite late when Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai finished watching the movie and headed home.

When the two passed through a small alley in the community, they encountered Zhang Mei He sending a man out. The man even patted Zhang Mei He's bum before leaving.

Zhang Mei He noticed the couple, especially Zhou Qing Bai. Her face froze.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai walked away without batting an eye. As if they hadn't seen her. Zhang Mei He pursed her mouth, then turned around and went inside.

"I thought she learned a lesson." Lin Qing He couldn't hold back. She muttered to Zhou Qing Bai.

It can't be that moving out to be alone was to make it convenient for her to pick up customers.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. What was there to say about other people's matter?

However because she was caught in the act tonight, she had completely lost face. Later when Zhang Mei He met Lin Qing He, she would make a detour.

It was when she ran into Zhou Qing Bai alone, she appeared lovely and pitiful as if she was forced to go that path.

Though her body was sold, her heart was pure.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

At the end of June, the results were out. His desired Bei University was no problem.

When the results came out, this kid was still in his hometown. Not back yet. It was Lin Qing He who called and notified him the results.

He requested for his elder brother to fill in the choice form for him. He would only study at Bei University. No need to think about the rest. His choice form was quite simple.

At the same time, the eldest, Zhou Kai welcomed his university graduation ceremony.
