Chapter 192. Raining

“You can forget about scholarships. It’s more like rewarding you with a pen or an enamel cup,” Lin Qing He said.

Although there were already signs of attention to education, it had not yet reached that level.

There was no such thing as a scholarship.

Lin Qing He wasn’t shooting her mouth about Da Wa’s cramps. She had started to increase her milk supply.

In addition to milk, she also cooked egg or something for him to take to school to eat when hungry every day.

After eating this way for only half a month, this kid said he didn’t have leg cramps at night.

Father Zhou thought it was great.

Mother Zhou pondered. Fourth’s wife was really willing to spend money.

Zhou Qing Bai, the father, had this experience as well. When he was in puberty, he met with this phenomenon.

But at that time, the conditions were terrible. To be able to fill his stomach was already good enough. As for drinking milk and eating eggs? Even if his parents favored him, don’t think about it.

“It was difficult for you to be so tall at that time.” Lin Qing He talked about this with Zhou Qing Bai when she was free.

“I didn’t stay at home long before I enter the army.” Zhou Qing Bai said.

Speaking of it, he really started to grow after he went to the army.

At his fastest growth, he grew almost 13 cm tall in a year.

Every time he came home, I piled up a lot of height. Of course, this was what his mother said.

Lin Qing He grinned and said, “If you want to eat anything, I’ll make it up for you. Although it’s a bit late, you should also get some nourishment.”

Zhou Qing Bai knew that his wife was teasing him. The corners of his mouth raised slightly and said nothing.

Now Lin Qing He mostly stewed soup.

Rib soup, bone soup, fish soup, shrimp skin soup, and seaweed soup were Lin Qing He’s frequent choice.

However, even with this kind of nourishment, Da Wa didn’t get fat at all. Not only did he not appear fat, but he also looked thin. Of course, he inherited Zhou Qing Bai’s physique.

He looked thin, but if he took off his clothes, he wasn’t thin at all.

Er Wa and San Wa were okay. As for the brothers, little Su Cheng and little Su Xun, because they were still young, it was easier to get chubbier. Both of them were plumper.

Who wouldn’t compliment how well Teacher Lin, the aunt, treat her nephews?

Lin Qing He didn’t have to teach that day. She cycled to the county city early in the morning.

She came here to buy fish. This time she planned to buy more to store up in the space, especially for crucian carp soup. The crucian carp at this time was truly wild crucian carp.

Lin Qing He’s personal favorite was a soup made with tofu.

As for the crucian carp, there were too many bones. She didn’t like it at all. It was all fed to Zhou Qing Bai.

There were fish on the black market. Lin Qing He bought a net full of it. There were even freshwater fish such as tilapia and crucian. Bass too.

Lin Qing He had no reservation. She took them all and immediately put them in the space when no one was around.

Then she bought a pack of goji berries and a pack of red dates. A pack of candy as well. There was nothing else to buy.

She took these things back home.

Lin Qing He killed a crucian carp as soon as she got home. Then she simmered it with tofu. When it’s about time, she sprinkled some goji berry in. The result was really delicious.

At noon, everyone ate to their heart’s content.

“Don’t know which afternoon I can go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms,” Lin Qing He said.

“Old man, when do you estimate the rain will come?” Mother Zhou asked Father Zhou.

Father Zhou’s experience had sharpened him: “Soon. It’s been stuffy these days.”

The past few days have indeed been sultry and stuffy. Lin Qing He had Zhou Qing Bai fanning her to fall asleep at night, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Sure enough, it was five days later when the sky began to be clouded. It started to fall in the evening. Once it dropped, it was an instant rainfall. Then it turned to heavy rain.

It just entered May. By this time, the crops had grown a lot. Rain at this time saved a lot of manpower. This had everyone breathing out in relief.

Lin Qing He stuck to her old rules. She burned mugwort inside and outside the house. She had always maintained this habit. When it rains and also when the rain leaves, she always smoked mugwort throughout the house.

“Mother, I can’t solve this question.” Said Er Wa, who had already skipped to third grade.

Lin Qing He glanced at it and replied, “Change your line of thought. It is similar to the question you did yesterday.”

Er Wa continued to ponder about it. On one question, he thought for half an hour. In the end, he was able to figure it out.

After working it out, he found it wasn’t difficult when he reread this question again.

“Mother, you set too many traps.” Er Wa couldn’t help but admire.

The questions from school were all clear at a glance. While the questions his mother gave them were all twists and turns. If one didn’t pay attention, then one will fall into a trap.

What’s more, this was a Mathematical Olympiad problem, not an ordinary third-grade math problem.

“How is your one difficult? You didn’t have the question Mother gave to me. Even my teacher didn’t know how to do it after seeing it.” There was another one in Da Wa’s hand as he interjected.

He knew how to do Er Wa’s question at a glance. While his question was actually difficult.

He worked on it from school until now and still hadn’t solved it yet.

When he was working on it at school, his teacher caught sight of it. Afterward… he too couldn’t solve it.

When asked, he found out this question was given by his mother. The teacher held deep admiration.

Teacher Lin was worthy of being a role model from Zhoujia Village who self-studied and overwhelm a group of educated youths. Really makes one respect.

Lin Qing He smiled. She also gave Da Wa some hints for solving the problem.

Da Wa had already worked on this for a long time, so Lin Qing He gave him some hints. He was like he had seen the dawn after pulling the clouds away.

With this solved, he solved this four-star difficulty problem.

Lin Qing He gave it a quick scan. Then she gave him a five-star difficult one and let him slowly ponder on it.

As for San Wa, Lin Qing He got him to obediently write numbers.

He was six years old this year. Lin Qing He intended to send him to elementary school when the first grade of elementary school starts this year.

At this point, the three brothers will all go to school.

Zhou Qing Bai came back from the outside carrying a hoe and in a raincoat. Although he didn’t need to work when it rained, he still had to check whether the water flows out of the openings in the ground. There might be crop submersion because of the water flow problem.

It wasn’t easy for common people who rely on the weather to eat.

It won’t do if there was no rain. Too heavy rain won’t do either. Same with too small. In one phrase, it wasn’t easy.

“Everything alright?” Lin Qing He asked.

“It’s fine.” Zhou Qing Bai affirmed.

Although the rain wasn’t great, it wasn’t in the red zone.

Lin Qing He threw it to the back of her mind as soon as she heard all was well and started to knead the dough and steam the mantou.

Since the rain was too heavy, she placed Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s share in the basket and got Zhou Qing Bai to send it over. When he returned from delivery, the family would start their meal.
