Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 162 '73's time of train

Chapter 162. '73's time of train

Mother Zhou knew about Lin Qing He stuffing items to Third Brother Lin.

"Your brother is so thoughtful." Mother Zhou also knew that this brother brought a pheasant over early in the morning. (T/N: I'm stuck, what's the title for daughter-in-law's brother? In raw the author wrote brother from family-in-law)

What's more, Mother Zhou was clear that Fourth's wife only interacted with this third brother from her maternal family, so there was nothing to say.

Lin Qing He didn't say much about Third Brother Lin.

There were some things that can be explained to Mother Zhou and some things that Lin Qing He didn't want to talk too much.

This pheasant was Lin Qing He simply stewed as a soup. She chopped it into pieces, so there was no such thing as one possessing the chicken legs. (T/N: the drum is thought to be the best, so whoever gets it demonstrates whoever is favored.)

The chicken soup was stewed and served with red bean mantou, which had the whole family feeling content.

Have to say, Lin Qing He's skill in stewing soup was excellent.

In fact, people here do not have the habit of drinking soup. Lin Qing He was also from the north in her previous life, but she liked the south's culture very much.

Especially the Southerner's ability to cook soup, she really loved it.

It was almost a melting pot, where everything can be made into a soup.

It sounds really overbearing, but there was nothing the southerners didn't dare to eat, especially those in the Cantonese province.

This wasn't meant to belittle them. On the contrary, Lin Qing He loved their way of making soup.

These wintery days were the best time for Lin Qing He to display it.

It's just that there were too few ingredients. The most eaten was radish soup, and the others were seaweed soup and shrimp skin soup. As for the rest, there was none.

In the snowy weather, Lin Qing He had nothing to do after helping Mother Zhou knit the two woolen pants.

So day by day, she was studying with Da Wa and Er Wa. She gave the brothers quiz and corrected them.

Sometimes Zhou Qing Bai would go out. Sometimes he would watch them study at home. He would take a book to read.

Lin Qing He told him to ask her if he didn't understand, however, Zhou Qing Bai had never asked her before. Lin Qing He felt that this man could understand by himself.

"I heard Mother say that your old Zhou family ancestors were all bumpkins. I originally thought that the boys' studying ability is like me. Now it seems that they may have gotten it from you." Lin Qing He told him.

Zhou Qing Bai's education was actually great. He went to junior high school. In this era, it wasn't bad at all. But his family became poor later, so he went to serve as a soldier.

Although he only reached junior high school, Zhou Qing Bai's writing was actually very pretty.

Vigorous, strong and straight. The words were just like his person. This wasn't a lie.

"Like you." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

His knowledge wasn't as good as his wife. He felt that his wife must at least have a high school education level, or even higher.

It was just incredible.

He didn't dare to think any further. So he believed his wife self-taught herself the high school content.

Lin Qing He had a closed-lip smile and didn't argue with him about this matter. She talked about Zhou Xiao Mei's affairs: "The two of them will definitely not come to celebrate the New Year this year, so they'll have to take Cheng Cheng over."

"It's good to be together for the New Year." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Seeing that it was almost time to wash the feet and go to bed, Zhou Qing Bai went to the pot and brought water in. The couple washed their feet.

Before Lin Qing He went to the kang, she looked at Da Wa and Er Wa. It was the same old rule for San Wa, sleeping in their room.

He will be five years old next year. He will go to sleep with his two brothers then and don't think about come back.

When she and Zhou Qing Bai got on the kang, San Wa was already sleeping like a piglet.

Like usual, Zhou Qing Bai wanted to pay the public ration. Lin Qing He said: "It's not convenient tonight, go to sleep." (T/N: ...wow, what an upgrade from homework)

Zhou Qing Bai yielded when he heard it, and then hugged her to sleep.

This time passed quickly and it was New Year's Eve. Littel Su Cheng was picked up by Su Da Lin to spend the New Year in the city.

The team divided the last meat of the year. Everyone was ready to celebrate the New Year.

It was already 1972 this year.

After the New Year, they'll enter 1973, the year of the train.

Must say, even though Lin Qing He was looking forward to 1977 arriving every day, she felt sentimental. This time passed really fast.

"Tomorrow Da Wa will be nine years old." Lin Qing He suddenly felt emotional on the night of New Year's Eve.

Tomorrow was New Year Day. Da Wa will be nine years old. Er Wa will be seven years old. Even San Wa, who was one-year-old and couldn't talk when she arrived here, would be five years old.

This time flew really fast. It felt like it hadn't happened yet. Four years had passed in that instant.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say a word, but the arm around his wife tightened.

How could he not know that year passed one after another so quickly, but this was life.

"Qing Bai, if I am old and ugly, would you dislike me?" Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai: "..."

"You don't need to answer. I know you definitely will. You men are like this. Not a single good bunch. All so fickle. If there are young and beautiful ones, would you care about the life and death of the yellow-faced woman at home?" Lin Qing He continued.

Zhou Qing Bai: "..."

"You're not responding, means you're admitting by default. As expected, the crows in the world are as black as possible." Lin Qing He snorted coldly.

Then Zhou Qing Bai let his wife see what it means by 'not abandoning wife who been with him through thick and thin'.

After it was over, Zhou Qing Bai reluctantly answered, "I won't despise you."

Lin Qing He muttered in her heart, 'keep pretending then' and then slept peacefully in his arms. She dared not to continue playing the scene of Daiyu Burial Flower. (T/N: A fragment of the famous Chinese literature, Dream of the Red Chamber)

This straight steel man wouldn't know how to comfort her, but he would comfort her in his own way.

For example, if she said he dislikes her, he will let her see if he dislikes her.

Speaking of which, Zhou Qing Bai had been back for so many years, and his interest in her hadn't diminished at all.

Wasn't it said that married men and women were fiery affectionate for a year and a half when marriage start and after that, they can be purer than saints?

When two people lay together naked, it was said that they don't even have the heart to do it. Why was her man still so passionate?

The enthusiasm and passion for this matter were the same as always.

No matter how Lin Qing He grumbled, she was still very satisfied.

The two fell asleep huddled together.

The next day was New Year Day.

Third Brother Lin brought his two daughters over to pay a New Year greeting.

Third Sister-in-law Lin didn't bring her youngest girl here as she was still small. Another thing was that Third Sister-in-law Lin felt a little ashamed.

Lin Qing He gave birth to three sons, while Third Sister-in-law Lin gave birth to three daughters.

Even if it was Third Sister-in-law Lin, she couldn't hold her head up.

This era emphasized the importance of a son.

"Sister, don't think too much about it. She is pregnant again." Third Brother Lin probably saw what she thought and explained.

Lin Qing He was stunned: "You girl is only half a year old and she's pregnant again?"
