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

Chapter 252. Learning a craft

When Lin Qing He came over to get the meat, Sister Mei was embarrassed, "I wore it today when I went to work. Didn’t expect that my colleagues saw it and wanted it. They requested me to let you know, if you have the opportunity to go over there again, could you help out and buy it."

"If I go there, I’ll bring some. However, it’s impossible to get too many." Lin Qing He said.

Sister Mei understood. If too much was brought, it will be short selling. That was very dangerous.

She gave Lin Qing He all the meat she wanted. There were almost ten jins of meat. After the money was settled, Lin Qing He took it home.

Then she prepared to make stewed chicken in pig stomach.

It was to nourish Zhou Qing Bai’s stomach.

Mother Zhou came over and saw her and Zhou Qing Bai were busy. Mother Zhou was really satisfied with her fourth daughter-in-law.

Good character. Her treatment toward her man was peerless. She also raised the three grandsons so well.

Why did she feel she wasn’t reaching the margin before? Now, she was pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked.

Compared with her, the other daughters-in-law, who peacefully lived their life, were all a bit worse.

There was nothing wrong with living peacefully. Just lack Fourth’s wife’s discernment. She had already planned everything out. She wanted them to go to university, so she trained all of them.

Now that the college entrance examination had resumed, they were able to make it in time.

Looking at Er Wa’s and San Wan’s results, they can all get admitted to a university in the future if nothing unexpected happened.

It was just like what Fourth’s wife said. Her sons will go to university in the future. They will be assigned to a position. What need was there to worry about their marriage?

Take a look. Didn’t she keep her words?

"What are you doing?" Mother Zhou smilingly said in a very good mood.

"Stewed chicken in pig stomach. This dish nourishes the stomach. The whole family needs to get some nourishment" Lin Qing He replied.

Although the main thing was to take care of her own man, other people can also be taken care of along the way.

"Only when you are home, there’s are so many delicious foods at home." Mother Zhou Mu watched and said.

Since Fourth’s wife’s return, there was no lack of delicious dishes at home these days. One time was braised pork. Another time was fried meatballs. Or braised pork.

The meat allocated was finished within three days. At this moment, she saw that there was still so much in the kitchen, she knew it without asking. She must have bought it with connections.

Mother Zhou didn’t like to give out anymore because Fourth’s wife didn’t need anyone to worry about her.

"Since I’m free, I might as well nourish them. Besides, Qing Bai and Father had exhausted themselves for a year. Autumn and winter are the best time for supplementing them." Lin Qing He said. Then sighed, "Sadly, there’s no old duck."

"Old ducks. There are a few at old Cai’s house. They may kill some this year for the New Year. Should I go ask?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Mrs. Cai’s house?" Lin Qing He said.

"En. They have four of them. All grown up." Mother Zhou replied.

"Alright. Go ask, Mother." Lin Qing He said.

If there is a big duck, then she will make an old duck soup. Very nourishing and hydrating.

Mother Zhou went to ask. She didn’t have any intention of criticizing her fourth daughter-in-law at all.

Lin Qing He was capable. In the middle of making stewed chicken in pig stomach and still thought about another big dish. It can’t be helped since her stay at home was short.

She can’t cook up some good stuff every day to nourish Zhou Qing Bai, right?

Mother Zhou came back after heading out for a while. She had brought back a recently killed duck.

"When I went over, Elddest Cai was slaughtering ducks. As soon as he heard that I wanted one, he told me to go in and let his mother know. He gave me the one in his hand." Mother Zhou mentioned with a smile.

Lin Qing He took great care of Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi. Now the brother and sister were old Cai’s in-law family, their relationship was great.

Of course, they also gave Lin Qing He face.

Lin Qing He smiled and said, "Then I must thank Mrs. Cai. I will go over and nibble melon seeds with her tomorrow."

Despite the fact that Mrs. Cai always wanting to introduce her granddaughter to her eldest son and didn’t happen, it hadn’t affected the relationship between the two families.

Due to the weather, they weren’t worried that the ducks would spoil. There was pork stomach & chicken as well another piece of braised pork today. They couldn’t eat the duck.

Leave it for tomorrow to make stewed old duck soup. Then sprinkle in some starch noodle and it’ll be perfect.

Today’s stewed chicken in pig stomach was exceptionally delicious. The whole family ate to their heart content. Father Zhou’ was also very moved.

It was really only when Fourth’s wife returned, the food at home can be so great.

"Zhou Xia has no plan to study next year. He wants to follow his father’s footstep and earn work points." Mother Zhou chattered.

Lin Qing He was surprised: "How old is Zhou Xia? How many work points can one earn in the field?"

"He really doesn’t want to study." Nother Zhou said.

Have to say, eldest grandson and his brother can study, exactly like their mothers. Otherwise, just relying on old Zhou family alone, they wouldn’t have that talent.

It wasn’t just Zhou Xia from Second Brother’s family, even Eldest Brother’s Zhou Yang had average grades. Although they want to keep on studying, being able to get admitted was very unlikely.

They weren’t as good as the Fourth’s boys.

"If he doesn’t want to study, let him learn a craft. Just working in the fields, how much money can he make in a year?" Lin Qing He disapproved.

"Don’t know what crafts he can learn?" Mother Zhou believed her fourth daughter-in-law.

Zhou Xia was also her grandson. She naturally wants her grandson to be successful.

"Carpentry is a possibility." Lin Qing He said.

In the early 1980s, carpenters were popular. After all, they were craftsmen. Especially at that time, many suspended enterprises are waiting to be started again. Like schools and so on. All of them were going to rise again. Would carpenters miss out on the action?

Mother Zhou probably passed it on to Second Sister-in-law as she came over the next day.

Lin Qing He was cooking the old duck soup. First, it was stewed in a pot, then it was placed on a coal stove to simmer over a slow fire. It’ll be ready to eat tonight. The taste will be so fragrant that people want to swallow their tongue.

"Second Sister-in-law came," Lin Qing He greeted.

There was a bit of unpleasantness before, but after so many years, it wasn’t something to mind. After all, there wasn’t much time to interact in the future.

"Da Wa’s mother, I heard from Mother yesterday. You suggested that Xia Xia learn a craft, right?" Second Sister-in-law asked.

"That’s what I said. If you have other arrangements, you don’t need to listen." Lin Qing He smiled.

"No, I thought about it with your second brother all night. We felt it’s pretty good. But I don’t know if there any future on this path," said Second Sister-in-law.

"What should I say about the future? It requires Xia Xia to have a flexible brain. Know when he should do something. And don’t stick to the same rules. The times are advancing. He must make progress along with it. No matter what he does, he must adapt to the times. "Lin Qing He answered.
