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

Chapter 262. Pocket money

It must be said that the incident between Chen Xue and her husband had a big impact on the school.

How one handles their marriage was one’s freedom. Others can’t interfere if they want a divorce. As long as it wasn’t overboard, it didn’t have one’s impression.

Her tutor liked how Lin Qing He was.

Her thoughts weren’t too traditional but still adhered to the principle. Women who take care of the family were always good women.

In early April, the school organized another exchange meeting with Hai City’s side. However it wasn’t about English, but about mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Lin Qing He lamented that she couldn’t go. While Zhou Kai participated. He majored in mathematics and geography. He was also involved in other subjects. His results were excellent too.

So he joined in.

Before he went, he reported to his mother and asked her if she wanted to buy anything.

Lin Qing He had no needs. A female dorm mate in her dorm made a request to buy a new scarf.

Seeing that she was his mother’s dorm mate, even when their friendship was average, he still agreed. She lived in the same dorm as his mother after all.

Lin Qing He didn’t have anything to get. She did give him a little pocket money so that he could buy whatever he liked over there.

Zhou Kai came back after going there for a few days. He passed the scarf to that dorm mate and then he pulled his mother aside. He whispered: "Mother, the last time you bought the watch, did someone cheat you? I went to check it. The watch you bought me last time is only one hundred or so."

"Didn’t get cheated." Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Kai was shocked. Seeing his mother like this, he lowered his voice and said: "Mother, tell the truth. Are you doing private selling?"

"Smelly brat not learning well." Lin Qing He pinched his ear: "How can you think of your mother like that?"

She had committed it but she couldn’t let her son know. It was not that she was worried that he could not accept it. The son she brought up had a strong mental mind.

She was worried that he’ll become bold and copied her.

She owned a space, so she wasn’t afraid of anyone investigating. She can’t let her son do it.

"Mother, please don’t hide it from me. I had an inkling in my heart long ago. Back in our village, our family had so much meat. Every time after the summer harvest was harvested, you had to transport grain to my aunt (Zhou Xiao Mei). Those were all transported to the black market, right?" Zhou Kai whispered.

"I think you owe a beating!" Lin Qing He glared.

"Mother, I am your biological son. What’s more, I’m this big. I can think." Zhou Kai said.

Lin Qing He scolded in amusement: "Pay attention to your study. I, your mother, will not do anything shady. Otherwise, your father, that old antique, will be the first to disagree."

"Father is not the same Father as back then. He was corrupted by you." Zhou Kai smirked.

In the past, his father might forbid it. But afterward, whatever his mother said was what goes. There was no room for objection.

"Don’t think about those what nots and study hard. After graduation, do you still want to join the army? You can’t have a still stain you." Lin Qing He warned seriously.

"Mother, we are all grown up. You don’t need to do this anymore. In the future, our brothers can support you. You don’t need to work so hard." Zhou Kai answered seriously.

Although his mother won’t admit it, he knew it in his heart.

And even if she profit, it wasn’t too much. After all, it was from Hai City. How can it not be expensive when brought to county city to be sold?

How much did it cost to go back and forth? How much time and manpower was spent?

Zhou Kai felt that his mother had contributed to the family’s good conditions.

"I don’t need you to support me. Your father can afford to support me. Do you know how much retirement pay your father brought back when he retired? You just guess I did that kind of thing." Lin Qing He grumbled.

"How much retirement pay can there be? At most, a thousand." Zhou Kai said.

"Three thousand." Lin Qing He indifferently glanced at him.

Zhou Kai was shocked to the core: "Father came back with three thousand yuan?"

At that time, the brothers were still young. And it was ten years ago. Not to mention ten years ago, even now, three thousand dollars was definitely a big sum!

"That’s right." Lin Qing He said: "Your father won’t lie about this. You can ask your father when you go back."

"Really no shady business?" Zhou Kai was close to believing her.

"I already said there’s none. You insist on putting a hat on me?" Lin Qing He glared.

Zhou Kai laughed it off and said, "How much money is left now?"

"Enough to spend." Lin Qing He waved her hand.

At the end of last year, she made a lot of money. Although she spent some to collect things like precious metals. Still, she didn’t have much to spend. She had nearly 6,000 in her space now.

Not only did the 3,000 yuan in the past not decrease, but it doubled.

What’s more, this was on the premise of her being ‘extravagant’.

"Mother, I brought this back. I don’t have a familiar path. You can figure it out." Zhou Kai took out a watch and said.

Lin Qing He understood when she looked at this women’s watch. She was a little curious, and voiced out, "Where did you get so much money?"

"I earned it myself. Also from the money, you gave me, Mother. Apart from milk and learning materials, I have no other place to spend money. I brought all of it with me this trip." Zhou Kai said.

So he bought back such a watch.

"Stinky boy, only this time. There’s no next time!" Lin Qing He stared at him.

"I understand." Zhou Kai said: "Mother, give me some money. I need to pay for the milk tomorrow."

Lin Qing He passed him ten yuans.

Zhou Kai was used to his mother’s generosity. He thought that his classmates were similar to him but later discovered that they weren’t.

Even his classmate from the capital, Weng Guo Liang only received five dimes at most.

Only his mother was unique. She can give ten yuans.

It was a giant pit. Luckily he was such a sensible son. If not, it would be too easy to raise a prodigal son.

Zhou Kai shook his head and left in reflection.

"What do you mean by that expression, smelly boy?" Lin Qing He muttered.

Then she went back to the dorm. As for giving 10 yuan pocket money to the eldest son who was attending college, Lin Qing He really didn’t find it odd.

Even if this era used a point system, ten yuan was still a huge sum of money.

After all, most people’s salaries were only about 30.

It was still that phrase. Clash in concept. She truly found it normal to give her eldest son ten yuan to manage on her own.

Since there was nothing else, Lin Qing He got back to the dorm. As for the watch, she put it away. Once she returns to her hometown on a summer break, she’ll resell it.

"Qing He, I must truly thank your son. I really like this scarf." Her dorm mate was over the moon.

"It’s great that you can like it. I was worried about his taste." Lin Qing He replied politely.

She recalled that Sister Mei asked her to bring a few. Not a big problem. When the summer vacation comes, she’ll go to Hai City first. Then head directly back to her hometown from Hai City.

After all, she has to buy some goods to resell.
