Chapter 100. Last day of ’70

At home, Lin Qing He was making braised rabbit meat and brought up Third Brother Lin to Zhou Qing Bai: "Say, what is up with my third brother? He’s thinner than before?"

Naturally, Zhou Qing Bai didn’t know, suggested: "Would you like to go back and see?"

"Not going back." Lin Qing He had no good impression from old Lin Family. Last year, they gave her such a good excuse and broke it off outright without any hesitation.

Zhou Qing Bai was helpless.

Lin Qing He didn’t care about old Lin’s family anymore. The braised rabbit meat is very aromatic to smell. Lin Qing He was willing to add seasonings, so the rabbit meat was particularly pleasing to smell.

Of course, Father Zhou and Mother won’t miss out on such delicious food.

"Carry this dish to your father and mother. Remember to say that this is the rabbit meat sent by my third brother. He stayed outside for a day to catch it." Lin Qing He handed a small dish to Zhou Qing Bai and instructed.

This was to prevent them from assuming that she was supplementing her maternal family. She was not the original owner, so old Lin family better not think about benefiting from her at all. She only recognized her third brother.

Even if her third brother sent such a rabbit today, she only gave three buns.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to give, it was due to the fact her third brother was now married.Beside being her brother, he too was a husband and father to others.

So she didn’t give too much, just three buns, to avoid nurturing his wife’s appetite too much.

Because when including the favor she did for the post-natal confinement last time, Third Sister-in-law should know to be content with even just three buns.

This was how human relationships should be, with output, there was input. Don’t take it for granted as nothing in the world is rightly yours.

However, she didn’t know that the value of these three buns wasn’t inferior to a rabbit.

A bun of this large size would cost a few dimes. If one went to the city to buy it, they will need food coupons, otherwise, don’t think about buying it.

How many food coupons did one need for three?

And there was really a lot of filling inside. Pork belly, eggs, and flour, these cost a lot of money. Don’t forget the rest (of the ingredients).

Three delicious buns in one go, it wasn’t stingy at all.

Hearing his wife’s words, Zhou Qing Bai had a cold sweat 😓. Still, when he sent it over, he mentioned that the rabbit was sent by his wife’s third brother.

Mother Zhou understood.

Once her youngest son went back, Mother Zhou said: "Last time I didn’t say anything about Da Wa’s Mother."

Father Zhou expressed: "Don’t worry about that too much."

Mother Zhou gave no response and quickly went to warm the pancakes. Then they ate the braised rabbit meat with the pancakes. The two of them couldn’t have enough, because the taste was so scrumptious.

"From what I see, old Fourth’s side is doing pretty well. After such a busy year, I didn’t see old Fourth become sapped. He was well-nourished by his wife." Father Zhou commented.

He really felt that Fourth’s wife’s culinary skills were top-notch, with no complaints at all.

From time to time, the meat dishes brought to them were all delectable. His son and grandsons were taken care of by her culinary, so how worst can they get?

"I didn’t say she couldn’t take care of old Fourth and his boys. It just too money consuming." Mother Zhou sighed.

In terms of the ability to take care of their men and children, no one in Zhoujia Village can compare with Fourth’s wife. What’s more, her old husband was right.

It seems that since old Fourth had retired until now, he apparently became healthier. Not a hint of weakness could be seen.

Same for Da Wa and his brothers. Which one of them wasn’t energetic?

"While we can still work, let them gather some savings." Zhou Father stated.

Mother Zhou nodded and didn’t say anything. Apparently satisfied, she decided to drop it and let Fourth’s wife do as she likes. The future marriage money for Da Wa and his brothers, they’ll secretly give it to them.

They can’t possibly let three grandsons become a bachelor, right?

Unknown to Mother Zhou’s thoughts, Lin Qing He had a fulfilling dinner with Zhou Qing Bai and the boys.

A shrimp skin soup and cornmeal mantou. With this delicious rabbit meat, the family ate until their heart’s content.

"Father, when are we going to catch the rabbit?" At the dinner table, Da Wa munched on the rabbit’s head as he asked

"Where are you going on such a cold day?" Lin Qing He glared at him.

"There were chubby rabbits in the field during autumn harvest this year, but it ran too fast and Father didn’t catch them," Er Wa mentioned.

There were rabbits popping up during the autumn harvest and these rabbits bounced around and got away really fast. Even Zhou Qing Bai hadn’t caught one.

"Your father is exhausted to the bone during the harvest and you still want him to catch you a rabbit? Why don’t you hunt one for your father to eat?" Lin Qing He directed to Er Wa.

"Aren’t I still small? Once I grow up, I will definitely be able to catch it." Er Wa waffled.

"Then eat more and grow up quickly." Lin Qing He brushed off.

The wild rabbits were very agile. What’s more, a wily rabbit had three burrows, so how can it be so easy to hunt? Each and every one of them were drained from the busy summer and autumn harvests.

Chances of catching one was low. And one needs to be extremely lucky to catch one.

Zhou Qing Bai calmly ate meat as he enjoyed the favoritism from his wife.

He went out the next day, but when he came back, his hands were empty. Rabbits were difficult to hunt.

Luck and strength can’t be lacking.

With strength and no luck, it still won’t do.

"Are you that bored on New Year’s Eve? Does it feel great going up to the mountain and freeze yourself? Do we lack that bite of meat at home?" Lin Qing He nagged once he came back.

Despite what she said, she didn’t omit a single drop of ginger soup for him to drink.

Today was the 30th of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone was separated this year, but they still adhered to tradition, have New Year’s Eve dinner together.

This was the last day of ’70.

As usual Lin Qing He brought two solid dishes, a stewed meat and starch noodles, and meatballs.

Two meat dishes were definitely passable.

Especially meatballs, it was very tasty. The children like Zhou Yang loved to eat it. They stabbed it with their chopstick and bite into it. Each of them munched away happily.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the women started chatting, while the things were handed over to Da Ni and Er Ni to clean up.

Second Sister-in-law didn’t stay. She headed out at once.

Lin Qing He didn’t fancy having her here After the last fight, she and Second Sister-in-law had bad blood. Second Sister-in-law didn’t dare to speak crap but also no longer spoke to Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He simply ignored it.

"Just now, I noticed you have a bad appetite at dinner, what’s wrong?" Lin Qing He asked Third Sister-in-law.

"This baby is a naughty one, so my reaction is a bit big." Third Sister-in-law felt helpless.

"Morning sickness?" Lin Qing He wondered.

"That’s right. I heard it early in the morning." Eldest Sister-in-law nodded.

Lin Qing He thought that it must be difficult!

Even like this, Zhou Qing Bais still wanted her to give him another daughter. This unfeeling man.

Lin Qing He decided to not let Zhou Qing Bai get close to her body. He must wait until she buys condoms first, otherwise, she couldn’t imagine what she’ll be like when she’s pregnant!
