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

Chapter 438

Zhou Qing Bai can't stand the word old now.

Hearing her reminiscing, he directly let her see whether he was old or not.

Before Lin Qing He fell asleep, she didn't feel nostalgic anymore. She only got one thought. Alright, her family Qing Bai isn't old yet.

The whole family got up early the next morning.  Third was going to take the college entrance examination. This was a very important day in life, so the whole family got up early.

After eating a full breakfast, Zhou Kai sent Zhou Gui Lai to school. His school was an examination building, so there was no need to go elsewhere.

Once he returned after sending him over, Lin Qing He prepared a nylon net of apples for him and said, "Go find your Auntie Weng. She has been missing you all the time."

"Okay." Zhou Kai, who already understood his mom's intentions, felt helpless. But he liked the old Weng Family, so he caught a ride over. Which only took about 40 minutes by bus.

Mother Weng happened to be home today. She was delighted to see him: "When did you come back? Last time I heard your mom say it'll be a while."

"I came back in advance. Where's Uncle Weng?" Zhou Kai merrily replied.

"Went to work. Come in quickly. You haven't been back in a year." Mother Weng was grinning widely.

"It's has been a year. I've been keeping in contact with Guo Liang. He might return at the end of the year." Zhou Kai said.

"The end of the year it is. Forget about him for now. At the beginning of this year, your mom, your two brothers, and I had planned to go to Ha'er to see the ice city, but when we got there,  we encountered a blizzard and stayed in the guest house for two days. Like that, we came back the same way we came." Mother Weng amusedly mentioned.

"I heard Mom say that Mei Jia will do to their internship this year." Zhou Kai said.

"That's right. Going to that side, You got to keep an eye out for her. That girl had never been mature." Mother Weng grumbled.

"If Mei Jia is immature, then nobody is mature. Don't worry, we all grew up together. The affection is there." Zhou Kai responded.

Mother Weng happily nodded and said: "This time, you came back more tan and skinny. Have lunch here. I'll cook up something nourishing."

"My grandmother made a reservation for me and told me go over during the afternoon. She stewed a chicken for me." Zhou Kai refused.

Mother Weng said: "Your grandmother really dotes you. Last time I went over, I heard your mom say that your grandmother raised a lot of chickens. All ready to be stewed for you to eat. No one else can eat even if they wanted to."

Zhou Kai smiled.

After sitting here for a long time, he thanked Mother Weng for her meal invite and caught a ride back.

When Father Weng came back from work at noon, he found that his wife was in a good mood. Before he could ask, she brought it up herself: "Young Kai is back. We can put lunch aside. I won’t cook tonight. We're going over to Teacher Lin's and have a meal together."

"That can't do. Young Kai just came back. They hadn't finished with their reunion. How can they have time to entertain you?" Father Weng put down the bag and responded.

"What's the problem? What kind of relationship do I have with Teacher Lin? Teacher Lin would be overjoyed to have me at the dinner time. What do you know, you silly man?" Mother Weng disdained.

Then she continued: "I feel Young Kai has gotten tanner and lost a lot of weight this time he returned. I will bring over the ginseng slices that your nephew gifted you during the New Year for Young Kai tonight. It's very nourishing to stew with chicken."

"You still have two sons." Father Weng disgruntedly pointed out.

This was really matched with that phrase. The more the mother-in-law finds her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became. Whatever good things were at home, she wants to send it to her son-in-law

"The two of them aren't coming back until the end of the year. What's the rush? Let's use it to nourish Young Kai first. Look, he brought such a big net of apples." Mother Weng responded.

Father Weng internally refuted. No matter how many apples were in a net, how much money could be spent. Mines are all Northeast wild ginseng!

In the evening, the Weng couple came by. Lin Qing He was making pig's stomach in chicken. She was delighted to see them coming.

"You can't leave tonight. Have to stay for dinner." After coming out of her surprise, Lin Qing He said at onced.

"We chose to come over during mealtime. Especially came to freeload a meal!" Mother Weng merrily responded.

"Then I warmly welcome." Lin Qing He grinned.

She ushered them to sit and she can handle it by herself. Mother Weng passed the bag to Father Weng and then began to work with Lin Qing He. She helped make the dough. They were having it grilled tonight. It'll be served with pig's stomach in chicken soup. Pig's stomach in chicken soup had ground pepper, so it was especially comforting to the stomach.

"I have never seen this way of eating before." Mother Weng remarked.

Lin Qing He was not stingy and told Mother Weng about her the steps in great detail.

"After Guo Liang and the others come back, you can cook it for them. This dish is great at nourishing the stomach. I have to cook it for my eldest two or three times every year." Lin Qing He said.

Mother Weng stated: "Then next time I will try this out. My family's old Weng's stomach isn't very good. Caused by starvation in the past."

"Then you should cook it for old Weng." Lin Qing He responded.

The two women were busy talking as they worked away. There was no worry about it becoming awkward. With them, the atmosphere lifted up.

Soon Zhou Kai and the others came back. They had gone to the campus to play basketball. After the game, they went to the bathhouse and came back.

"Back? Get ready to eat." Mother Weng smiled when she saw him.

"Aunt Weng, it's not just our eldest brother is back. We are all back," Zhou Gui Lai said.

Lin Qing He couldn't help but laugh. Mother Weng wouldn't conceal it. Still, Lin Qing He liked to socialize with this kind of people. So direct without any scheme. How comfortable, right?

"Ignore this stinky boy. He has always been naughty." Lin Qing He amusedly scolded.

Mother Weng was amused too.

There was the addition of Father Weng and Mother Weng. Lin Qing He had prepared a lot. Only needed to make more grilled dough and soup. The rest was plentiful.

After all, she got two pig's stomachs as well as the old hen sent by Mother Zhou, which was more than five jins. Divide it and it was enough.

Zhou Qing Bai arranged the biggest table to the center of the dumpling shop. Thankfully the dumpling shop was quite spacious, or else they couldn't sit down.

"Old Zhou isn't here yet." Mother Weng brought up when she saw Lin Qing He was about to start the meal.

"I set aside a bowl for him. Let him eat it later, we'll eat first." Lin Qing He said.

She left a bowl for her family's Qing Bai. About sufficient was enough. Better not eat too much at night, or it'll be easy to get a little belly.

The Zhou three brothers, Zhou Er Ni, Hu Zi, and Gang Zi were present. They ate together. It was very lively.

"It's truly lively here. There are only two of us in my house. It's not easy to buy food either." Mother Weng remarked.

"What's the problem? If the two of you don't mind the trouble, you can come here and eat together. Won't charge for the food" Lin Qinghe said.

Mother Weng couldn't be any more pleased to and said: "If this side is a little closer, then I won't be polite and be sure to come over to eat with the big family."
