Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

Chapter 203. Extremely cold

Zhou Qing Bai comfortably enjoyed the massage from his wife. As for the three sons, he wasn’t worried. She had always taught them very well.

He was probably tired too. As he was massaged by his wife, he actually drifted into slumber.

Lin Qing He didn’t disturb him either. Even if she had prepared a bountiful meal during the autumn harvest, he was still very drained. Once one’s mind was relaxed, people would naturally fall asleep.

He got up at four o’clock the next day.

When he got up, Lin Qing He had already gotten up first and had breakfast made.

In the autumn harvest season, one must eat food like mantou so that they won’t get hungry so quickly. Big white mantou was served with scrambled eggs & cucumber and a plate of meat.

He ate with Father Zhou. Then the father and son headed out first after finishing breakfast.

Lin Qing He went back to sleep for a while.

These days, the weather was slightly cloudy. The production team was very busy. For fear that the autumn rain would come early, they all started to snatch the grain from dawn to dark.

Even on the side sun-drying yard, people were keeping watch. It can’t go without a labor force for a moment.

In such an environment, Lin Qing He’s school had to be suspended.

Mother Zhou left Su Xun at home for her to watch a bit. She too had to help out in the sun-drying yard.

Lin Qing He was still mainly responsible for the family’s three meals. She put her utmost to cook up a good three meals.

This year, due to the sulky weather and the fear of raining, the autumn harvest was handled really fast.

The leader even increased the work points limit. For a while, Zhou Qing Bai got twelve work points every day. Father Zhou, who initially didn’t plan to work so hard, earned ten work points again. It was really important to be swift.

The autumn harvest, which was supposed to last until November, was completed at the end of October.

What’s more, the sky was quite beautiful. Even though it was cloudy, it hadn’t rained.

The autumn rain came after the public grain was handed in. Just when they planned to distribute the last batch of food, it came down.

Even so, the leader and others immediately arranged to distribute the food to everyone. Only then the task for this year was completed.

Same as the previous years, Lin Qing He bought a few hundred jins when seeing that there was a lot of food left at the team. All of these were reserved for business.

For the whole year, she relied on this autumn harvest’s grain to make a large profit.

And because it was new grains, the profits were basically half. So it was a big deal. Also, she got this cheating artifact, the space. It would be a pity if Lin Qing He didn’t make this profit.

The sky after the autumn rain was still relatively cloudy and the temperature dropped a lot.

"I’m afraid it will be extremely cold this year."

Mother Zhou felt the weather and stated.

"What do you mean?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Listening to your father, he remembers that it was like this in the past. It was only October, and the weather was very cold. That year, some old people in the village were frozen to death." Mother Zhou explained.

Once Lin Qing He knew it was an elderly’s experience, she didn’t dare to underestimate it.

That very day, she got Zhou Qing Bai to kill a chicken and stewed it into chicken soup for the family as nourishment. Then she began to consciously manage the family’s diet.

After listening to Mother Zhou saying that it was going to be extremely cold this year, she went back to the city again and bought a few bags of briquettes through her previous connections.

As for Zhou Qing Bai, he had already participated in the planting of winter wheat.

Lin Qing He told some the young teen in the village that they lacked some firewood at home and their family had no time. She asked them to help transport some back.

As soon as these children heard about it, they were very happy. Four or five people dragged a cart out away.

Within a few days, she had hoarded a lot of firewood for the family. Although it cost a little money, it saved Zhou Qing Bai from getting firewood after planting winter wheat.

This winter was very likely to be freezing. Other elderly people in the village also had this recollection and they all prepared for this year’s winter.

They don’t want anything to happen this winter. The last big freeze, an old man in the village had actually frozen into a dangerous condition.

After planting the winter wheat, Third Brother Lin purposely came for a visit. He bought a piece of meat over.

He also conveyed news of extreme cold, which had been circulating recently.

"Do you still need to worry about this side? It’s should your side. Made any preparation?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Yes. We won’t be cold at home this year." Third Brother Lin said.

"It’s a rare chance to get meat distributed. Why are you bringing it over instead of keeping it for your own family? Don’t we have meat distribution?" Lin Qing He said.

This year, her family was allocated a lot. Like really a lot. Third Brother Lin brought a piece of pork belly and when he went back, he took a few fried cabbage buns.

The rest were San Wa’s remaining two little clothes from when he was younger. Both were very warm.

It was originally intended to be reserved for little Su Cheng. But after some thought, Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were fairly well off. There was no lack of various tickets for those in employment. So, she gave it to her brother.

The piece of meat from the Third Brother Lin was under Third Sister-in-law’s order. She sincerely wanted to give it to Third Sister. Although it was only half a catty, it was what the family retained by saving.

She never thought that her man would return with a few white buns and two pieces of clothes. Just by the touch, they were very thick. Although they were a little bigger for her son, it didn’t matter. It was just perfect!

"Third Sister really dotes our family." Third Sister-in-law Lin remarked emotionally.

"My sister said that next time we get meat, we are to keep for ourselves. We don’t need to send it over. She was allocated a hefty amount." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"Save our eggs next year and then send some to Third Sister." Third Sister-in-law Lin decided.

They can’t always accept the things from Third Sister. They have to send some over here. No matter how much it was, it was always the thought that counts.

Third Brother Lin didn’t say anything. But from today onwards, he was going to get some firewood back for preparation. As for his sister, he needn’t worry. She won’t freeze his nephews anyway. He saw that a lot of firewood was accumulated. .

This year’s winter was indeed extremely cold. Only a week after the winter wheat was planted, the rain fell, and the temperature dropped to one or two degrees. It was even colder at night.

After seven or eight consecutive days of rain, the snow fell.

The weather was exceptionally cold.

Lin Qing He cooked big bone radish soup early in the morning and ate it with mantou. After eating, she took Da Wa to school.

It wasn’t winter vacation yet. They still had class. But got to say, it was freezing.

She applied skincare cream to herself. Da Wa also had vanishing cream applied to him. If not, it would be too cold. At least from what Lin Qing He saw, many children in the class were flushed from the cold temperature.

Because it was too cold, the junior high school closed more than a week earlier this year. It just entered December and the holiday break arrived.
