[Part 3] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 421

It was clear that Lin Qing He didn't look highly upon Zhang Mei Lian.

Every time she greeted Lin Qing He, she never gave her any response. If she was to know, then she will definitely firmly put a stop to it.

"Don't worry, I won't tell on you. What's more, I will help talk for you with Hu Zi, but you have to promise me that when you marry Hu Zi, you have to stay and live well with him. I hope he can marry a girl from the capital." Xu Sheng Mei said.

"That's for sure." When Zhang Mei Lian heard that she was willing to help her, she hurriedly promised: "What's being said outside is all fake stuff. Those talkative women slander me because our Zhang family had the power back then and didn't help them, neighbors!"

Xu Sheng Mei snorted in her heart. If you weren't bad, people would talk about you?

"Naturally I believe you." Xu Sheng Mei pursed her lips and smiled. Then she bid goodbye to her.

Originally, she wanted to go upstairs. Now, she turned around and headed directly to the dumpling shop.

Seeing her coming out again in this cold weather, Zhou Qing Bai frowned, "Today is the Lantern Festival. You should be staying at home and eating dumplings. Why did you come out?"

"Today's the Lantern Festival. I already had breakfast and lunch at Zhao's home. I want to come over here for dinner." Xu Sheng Mei smiled.

"Sister Sheng Mei, please go to grandpa and grandma's side to eat. There will be guests coming here later. Too many people here." Hu Zi said.

Father Weng and Mother Weng will come later. Old Wang too. Zhou Er Ni went to the garment factory to find Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan will also come.

So there were a lot of people.

"What guests are coming?" Xu Sheng Mei asked.

"It's Aunt Weng and others." Hu Zi answered.

Xu Sheng Mei didn't care too much, and said, "Then I'm fine with going to grandpa and grandma's side." Anyway, it was enough to come to old Zhou's house and show her face.

"It's very cold. Zhao Jun isn't with you?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.

Obviously,, he wasn't very pleased. Even when he was disappointed with this niece, he didn't want her to be treated like that by Zhao Jun.

Xu Sheng Mei knew that her uncle still cared about her, and replied, "Zhao Jun is a little busy."

In fact, she wanted to ask Zhao Jun to come together today, but because Zhao Jun received a cold bench during the New Year and he got strong self-esteem, he wasn't willing to come over today.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her but didn't say anything else.

Xu Sheng Mei headed over to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's place.

When Mother Zhou saw her, she uttered with ire, "On this cold day, why are you running over here and not eating dumplings at Zhao's house?

"Grandma, I know that today is Lantern Festival. I came here to accompany your two elders and eat dumplings." Xu Sheng Mei said as grasped her arm.

Mother Zhou hadn't wanted her to hold her arms at the beginning. But she didn't say anything after taking her pregnancy into account.

Zhou Xiao Mei had already come back at the moment. Seeing this niece, Xu Sheng Mei comes over, she didn't want to see her.

She hadn't forgotten that Zhao Jun looked down on her family's Da Lin during New Year's Day and disdained her family's Da Lin's stutter. He didn't want to talk to her family Da Lin at all.

Did he think everyone wanted to talk to him? Her Da Lin was too kind and just wanted to say a few words to him!

"Aunt." Xu Sheng Mei greeted her when entering the door and then said nothing.

Toward her uncle, she got curry favor. As for her aunt's side, no need. It was just that one bun shop. How much can it make in a month?

Zhou Xiao Mei gave an unnecessary nod and didn't say much.

Xu Sheng Mei remained to eat dumplings.

Lin Qing He felt completely refreshed as after that nap. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she was getting old.

When she came downstairs, Father Weng and Mother Weng were already there. Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan too.

Lin Qing He was embarrassed and sent Zhou Qing Bai a glare. She said, "Everyone is here and you didn't call me."

"There's no use. We just got here. I catch up on my sleep." Mother Weng laughed.

Lin Qing He grinned. Then she got Hu Zi to go back and call the boys over. It was time for dinner.

When chatting with Father Weng and Mother Weng, Lin Qing He didn't forget to speak to Wang Yuan. The atmosphere was never cold.

When they arrived, the whole family gathered around to eat dumplings.

If a customer comes over to eat dumplings, Zhou Qing Bai would make their orders. It was very simple.

"This mutton dumpling is really delicious. However, would a dumpling this big make any profit?" Father Weng asked Zhou Qing Bai.

"Small profits but quick turnover." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

Since last year, the price of his dumplings had been raised. It wasn't only his dumplings, but also the price of flour and meat were raised too.

However, Zhou Qing Bai’s profit did raise a bit but not a lot. He still adhered to the principle of small profits but quick turnover.

"You can manage your business. You have a good reputation. I didn't know your shop before. When I came to this area to inquire about the location of old Zhou's dumpling shop, someone would show me the way." Father Weng knew how to talk and said heartily.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He both grinned.

But really, the dumpling shop was very famous in this area.

The only thing that can compete with Zhou Qing Bai's dumpling shop was Su Da Lin's bun shop. But that was a distance from here. Su Da Lin's dumpling shop was also very popular.

When his business model was on the same path as Zhou Qing Bai, rather make less money and earn a good reputation instead.

Father Weng and Mother Weng had a filling Lantern Festival meal and sat around until almost eight o’clock before returning.

Zhou Qing Bai closed early today. Lin Qing He had class tomorrow, so naturally she will go to bed early.

"Wait for the holiday. I will take you to a good place." Zhou Qing Bai hugged his wife to show how much he misses her in this while and said

"What good place? I won't go if it's too far. Maybe there will be heavy snow and road closures." Lin Qing He waved her hand. This time took quite a toil. It was all on the road to and forth. It would be better to stay at home.

"Go to the hot springs." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

"Hot spring?" Lin Qing He looked at him: "Is there a hot spring here? I haven't heard of it."

"It's a bit far away. It's three hours on a snowy day. I estimate it will be almost two hours away without snow." Zhou Qing Bai said.

"How did you know that there was one?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Wang Yuan brought us there." Zhou Qing Bai smiled. He told her about the hot spring trip that happened when they were gone.

"Wang Yuan can really enjoy." Lin Qing He remarked: "We got to find a time to take out our truck."

"En." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. This thought coincided with his. Taking out the truck would make traveling far much more convenient.

The two negotiated that they'll go next time when Lin Qing He had a holiday. It was truly a small separation win over a newly-wedded period. They went to bed early.
