Chapter 211: Beating
Lin Qing He looked up after rubbing the medicinal wine and saw this man watching her. She paused and said, “What are you looking at?”
“I’ll pay attention next time.” Zhou Qing Bai vowed.
Lin Qing He snorted and laughed: “You don’t have to pay attention. If you met with a mishap, then don’t hope for me to stay as a widow for you. I will take your sons and remarry. Then let your sons call another man their fathers. “
Zhou Qing Bai’s face turned black.
Lin Qing He didn’t bother with him, turned around, and headed out.
Zhou Qing Bai felt powerless. His wife really dared to say anything. She could actually say the word ‘remarry’ in front of him.
But when Zhou Qing Bai imagine that kind of picture of her becoming another’s woman and his sons were another’s, he couldn’t accept it.
So, he really had to take good care of himself.
Lin Qing He came out to check Da Wa’s body. Da Wa assured, “Mother, you really don’t have to worry. Neither my uncle nor I got involved. It was my father who beat the wild boar down.”
Up to now, Da Wa was still a little excited when speaking about this.
His father was really strong. He was very envious of his skill. He wanted to learn from his father!
Lin Qing He didn’t know about it yet. Da Wa privately sought his father and brought it up. Zhou Qing Bai had no objection. Learn if he wants to.
Ever since this wild boar incident, Da Wa began to learn martial arts with his father.
With this training, Da Wa’s appetite became larger than his father.
Lin Qing He felt that if her family didn’t have some kind of shady income, she really can’t have such a son. What’s more, there were two more…
Wild boar pork was eaten up to the end of January. It should have been warmer at the end of January, but it was still cold this year. Until now, the temperature hadn’t risen.
Guess this will affect the spring ploughing.
Lin Qing He took a morning off that day and then came to the city to get rid of the scraps she had accumulated.
After accumulating for half a month, it was the fifteenth of January, the day she and Zhou Qing Bai brought the children to the city to take photos and have fun as well as selling a batch. This batch was the most recent batch bought from Sister Mei.
This year was ’75. Although it was still a bit strict, the atmosphere was much better than the earlier few years.
Regardless of whether it was her or Sister Mei, they were all veterans in this area. There had never been a slip-up.
Sister Mei exchanged money from her, while she can make a lot of money from selling a jin.
This time, there was a net profit of nearly thirty yuan.
It was like this for half a month. Goes to shows how great the demand for meat was in the market now.
Lin Qing He took two baskets from the space and came to the black market to buy eggs. The demand for eggs at home was astounding. Extremely high. She had to buy some back every time she came over.
As for the rest, there wasn’t much to buy. They were all in stock at home. Lin Qing He bought some school supplies and went home.
Seventh or eighth days into January, it started to warm up on this day. However, within two days of warming, another swoop of cold weather came, and it fell back again. (T/N: Wait, I’m confused… they had a family outing on the 15th and now it comes back to 7/8th???)
“What to do?” Some old people in the village began to worry. It was still this cold now. This year’s farming will be affected.
It wasn’t until mid-February that the weather finally warmed up. Everyone was dispatched then.
This year’s spring plowing was ten days slower than the previous year. Still, not a moment can be delayed anymore, or else they can just gnaw on barks this year.
This year, Da Wa entered Second Year. When the school started, he had gone to the principal’s office to let the second year’s teachers give questions. Then he passed the exam.
Each subject was over ninety points, so naturally, there will be no problems.
Still, the teachers were very surprised. Naturally, they asked Lin Qing He how she taught him. How could he become so smart?
Lin Qing He expressed that the kid who worked hard and wanted to help shoulder the burden of the family.
Although it didn’t cost much to study at this time, a semester cost about ten yuan, which was a lot of money for farmers.
Da Wa skipped the second semester of First Year and the first semester of Second year, which meant he saved 20 yuan.
Twenty yuans was enough for him to drink milk for a period of time.
The milkman had resumed delivering milk. Two bottles of milk a day were a must for Da Wa.
The teachers in the school all received a salary. They originally thought Da Wa would be at least fourteen years old, not eleven.
The female teachers were very surprised.
“Teacher Lin, how do you feed him?” Teacher Xu asked.
Lin Qing He laughed it off: “There’s no special feeding. Just three meals a day. Besides that, I ordered two bottles of milk for him in the morning.”
“Afraid that’s not cheap?” Another teacher said.
“It’s not. But a child only gets those few years to grow taller. It’s the golden time, he got to be nourished. I hope he can grow as tall as his father in the future.” Lin Qing He replied.
Needless to say, Zhou Qing Bai’s height was quite tall.
The few teachers were married and had children. After hearing her words, they all had their own thoughts.
Lin Qing He didn’t say much. Everyone had their own way of raising children. What’s more, she and they were not from the same generation. Her educational philosophy was from later generations, so they can’t learn from her.
After all, in her opinion, spending ten dollars a month to buy fresh, natural, and pollution-free milk for the children was really good value.
But the ten yuan at this time was really a lot. A family of three in the city can use that for a month if they were frugal.
The eleven-year-old Da Wa’s height was comparable to the fourteen-year-olds. It was really no problem for Da Wa to enter the Second Year. Da Wa was can really adapt. He soon gained a foothold in the class.
He also started to study Second Year’s knowledge seriously, because there was no need to skip grades in the future. It was fine to study according to the class rank step by step.
However, Lin Qing He still paid attention to him and always quizzed him.
These were normal homework for Da Wa. Now he can gather a lot of pig grass for the pig farm after class.
Because of his attendance, San Wa stopped gathering pig grass. Once school was over, the schoolbag was tossed aside and directly went out to play.
Both little Su Cheng and little Su Xun were also sent back. Little Su Xun was always with Mother Zhou, while little Su Cheng was San Wa’s tail.
As soon as San Wa was home from school, he will playing around with his third brother.
The days were peaceful when Second Sister abruptly came back to her maternal home. Her face had a tear, what’s more, a claw mark!
“What happened?” Mother Zhou questioned with a black face.
“Mother, you gather up my brothers. We’re going to old Huang’s family to settle the account!” declared Second Sister.
Her husband’s family was old Huang’s family. Her injury was caused by her eldest sister-in-law and her mother-in-law ganging up on her. And her eldest sister-in-law’s maternal sister-in-law too.
At this moment, there was no time. All the guys hadn’t come back from the field. But it didn’t matter, the Zhou Qing Bai and his brothers were soon fetched by Zhou Da Ni.
Mother Zhou also went to call a few women who knew how to handle wretched people. Then they charged off to the old Huang’s house!
