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

Chapter 555: Preference for vegetarian

Since becoming pregnant, Lin Qing He’s appetite had been somewhat tricky.

Rare delicacies of mountains and seas weren’t very novel. However, she had a very good appetite for common foods.

For example, the first crop of Chinese cabbage shipped from other places.

Lin Qing He especially enjoyed them.

As for meat, she just maintained her normal daily needs. Not at all interested in them.

Zhou Qing Bai prioritized everything according her need now. About Lin Qing He’s pregnancy, only the family knew. As for the rest in the community, they were clueless.

Due to Lin Qing He’s promotion, she gained more idle time and many people saw her. So they didn’t know about her resignation this year and staying home to nurture the baby.

In addition to the cabbage, Lin Qing He also liked to eat mushrooms. Dried mushroom liked shiitake mushrooms and tea tree mushrooms were stewed. She can devour a lot of this.

Zhou Qing Bai felt helpless. He stewed chicken soup and so on, but she drank a little and stopped drinking. While his wife was particularly fond of these instead.

Since she loved them, he went to buy the ribs back and creatively stewed different soups.

Ribs and mushroom soup, ribs and seaweed soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms, etc., were all made for his wife.

With this kind of food and the whole family’s care for her, Lin Qing He became much rounder despite her love for maintaining her body shape. Especially when she was prone to sleeping.

Zhou Gui Lai came over to his grandmother’s side on this day and gave a few jins of pork.

"Why are you sending over the meat?" Mother Zhou happened to be practicing Tai Chi at the entrance. She learned this from other old ladies. She purposely came out and let the neighboring old Madam Zhu and old Madam Hu see. Let them envy.

"My dad bought it and told me to bring it over here." Zhou Gui Lai answered.

"Just keep it and eat over there. Why bring it here? Your parents are filial." Mother Zhou remarked.

Zhou Gui Lai noticed old Madam Zhu came out and cooperated: "They are, right? Only got one Grandmother. We will buy what you want to eat."

Mother Zhou was very satisfied, and grinned: "What need are there for these? They already given us forty yuan a month as living expenses."

"Living expenses are living expenses. This meat still has to be brought over. You and Grandfather shouldn’t be too prudent. Just cook it." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Mother Zhou glanced at old Madam Zhu: "Going out?"

"En. Going for a walk." Old Madam Zhu answered. Her expression was clearly not good.

Let alone not giving monthly living expenses, her son and daughter-in-law were usually misers when giving some rice, flours, and so on. Comparison made men miserable. This old woman from the country happened to have good fate.

After she was gone, Mother Zhou went back to the house triumphantly. She spoke to Third: "Tell your father not to bring the meat. Your mother is pregnant, so make more of these for her."

"My mom doesn’t like meat very much. She prefer vegetables." Zhou Gui Lai responded.

"If you have meat, of course you have to eat more meat. How can going for vegetarian do? It’s not the previous time, where one didn’t have such conditions. However, when she was pregnant with you boys, I noticed your mother would get a cut of meat from time to time." Mother Zhou mentioned.

At that time, the conditions weren’t good. Each family lived prudently, while Fourth’s wife liked to eat meat very much.

Zhou Qing Bai had sent meat coupons back. If it was someone who knew how to live, they would take it to the city to exchange money and save it. Meat coupons were rare, so there was no lack of demand.

However, Fourth’s wife directly brought back a cut of meat.

Zhou Gui Lai returned home and brought this up.

"How can it be the same? Back then, there wasn’t any oil content. So how rare it was? Now that one can eat it every day. Naturally it’s not so scarce." Lin Qing He responded.

"It’s better to eat more meat. Grandmother went to catch 20 chicks back to raise this year. It is estimated that twelve or thirteen of them will survive. When the time comes, it will be kept for you to stew and eat, Mom." Zhou Gui Lai told.

Lin Qing He nodded: "Your grandmother is very considerate." But she can’t eat so many chickens. How fat will she become?

Lin Qing He had feel terrible for the first three months, but after those three months, it was much better.

Although she still felt dizzy and nauseous, the symptoms had been relieved to a great extent.

At this time, spring had arrived. It was March. Though it was still a bit cold, it was already beginning to pick up.

Zhou Qing Bai wanted to accompany her when going out together. His whole attention was on her and didn’t want to open the dumpling shop much anymore. Lin Qing He won’t let him follow.

Really. She was just pregnant. She really didn’t want to go anywhere for the first three months. Now in a blink of an eye, it was almost at the end of March and reaching April. She had adapted. So she let him chill at the side.

She had enough of him.

Lin Qing He went to find Mother Weng. This year, Mother Weng had opened a clothing store and was busy with it. Some time ago, she knew that she was pregnant and visited her twice. Since then, she wasn’t free.

On the contrary, she was completely idle right now. So she came here.

Mother Weng watched the clothing store by herself. There were no employee. Mother Weng was cleaning when Lin Qing He arrived.

Lin Qing He called from outside the door.

Mother Weng saw her and came out immediately. She smiled: "How did you find here? I thought you didn’t know the location."

"I’ve been in your area quite a few times. I can find the position you told me about." Lin Qing He merrily replied. "How’s the business?"

"Not bad." Mother Weng grinned.

In this street, the flow of people was relatively large. The clothes from Wang Yuan’s Garment Factory were really excellent in style. In a month, it can make four to five hundred yuan.

When Mother Weng settled the first month’s account, she couldn’t believe that such a small clothing store could make so much.

It wasn’t just her. Father Weng was surprised as well. As someone who got a job all his life, he received dead-end wages. Even when there were subsidies or other benefits. Since he haven’t done any business before. he didn’t know that the profits here were this substantial.

His salary wasn’t low, around one hundred yuan or so. But compared to Mother Weng monthly income, that was nothing.

Afterward, Mother Weng encouraged him to open a men’s clothing store.

Father Weng wasn’t willing to. He didn’t know how to do business nor did he like doing business. Now the factory can keep going, he’ll keep working. If he can’t, he can rely on his wife for food when the time come.

Mother Weng laughed at him, saying he was going to be an old pretty boy? He wasn’t young, so can’t be called little pretty boy.

Because it was so profitable, Father Weng’s reluctance to buy the shop had faded. If this continued, they will quickly recover the cost of the shop.

"This shop is doing well here. There’s only such a clothing shop around this area." Lin Qing He commented.

"It’s only this one right now. There will definitely be more in the future. No worry though. With such style and quality, there will be many repeat customers." Mother Weng smilingly said. Then she looked at her belly and spoke: "Still feeling uncomfortable?"
