Chapter 300: Not worst than a salary
Chapter 300: Not worst than a salary
“Completely better.” Old Wang replied energetically.
Aunt Ma was delighted. Because she was in a hurry to go home and cook for her spouse, she said: “I won’t talk to you for now.”
When she went home to cook, she told her spouse, “Look, I’m not wrong. How good it was to recognize a godchild? It’s the same as having a biological child.”
Uncle Ma had a surge of emotion. When one getting older, they just want their child by their side, right?
If something happened, they’ll receive care.
Wasn’t it like this for old Wang this time? He got Xiao Kai guarding him every day. In the evening, he can eat on that side. Whatever serving tea and water, he just got to speak out.
Uncle Ma felt that recognizing a godchild happened in a timely manner.
It was justified for them to take care of him, no?
Aunt Ma also talked about this to her old friends. All her old sisters said recognizing this godchild was done right.
“Who doesn’t know that old Wang has a lot of money and a large courtyard put out for rent. Maybe they’re eyeing at these.” However, there were different opinions. Some people said this.
They felt that Teacher Lin and her spouse got a very deep mind. This was obviously aiming at old Wang’s assets.
However, the majority of the people were sensible.
If they can take care of him during his old age, there was nothing wrong with giving it to godsons and god-grandchildren?
At birth, they can’t bring over anything, neither can they bring anything away during death. What’s the use of hoarding it?
To paraphrase an old saying, an old man at this age isn’t afraid of others seeking his things but he is afraid of having nothing in his hands for people to eye on.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai just wanted a relative in the capital. They didn’t really care about old Wang’s money and property.
Both of them can make money on their own.
Even when it was currently winter, Zhou Qing Bai’s dumpling shop business was still very prosperous because he had been in business for a year. After all, he had already gained a certain degree of reputation.
If one wants to eat anything else, one can go to other individual stores. But if one want to eat dumplings, people will first think of his place.
Every month, there can be more than two hundred and nearly three hundred profit.
Because of this very considerable profit, Zhou Qing Bai got up and went to the shop before six o’clock every morning.
How much profit can be made in one year?
How can there be none?
In particular, the couple plan to go south every summer.
As for the winter vacation, then they’ll go to Hai City and wander around. It will definitely make a good earning.
The income of the family can be said to be very hefty. Not like that of old Wang.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn’t reply to outsiders’ guess. They also didn’t care much.
Life went on as usual.
In a blink, it was December.
The reason why December was called December was that it was a good season for making bacon and sausages.
Stuffing sausages were too difficult and Lin Qing He was too lazy to make it, so she just marinated the meat to make bacon.
It was hung in Zhou Qing Bai’s dumpling shop to dry. Because it looked delicious, so many customers asked how was this bacon sold?
There was no plan to sell bacon. After all, there wasn’t much made. It was kept for themselves. Ten jins was easy to demolish. It was impossible for them to sell.
During the Laba Festival, Zhou Qing Bai made a pot of Laba congee. The family got up early in the morning to drink Laba porridge.
“This year, will the three of you are going to stay here to spend the New Year with your god-grandfather or go back to our hometown with us for the New Year?” Lin Qing He asked her three sons.
There will be a break in half a month. The tickets must be booked in advance.
“We stay here to celebrate the New Year with God-grandfather. When you go back, just send our new year greeting to Grandfather and Grandmother.” Zhou Xuan said.
Zhou Gui Lai nodded. Zhou Kai, the eldest, felt that he couldn’t leave their god-grandfather alone for the New Year. It was too lonely.
“Okay, then you can stay here. Your dad and I will leave on the 20th. If you want to open the shop, you can open it until the 25th. The rest of the time, take your god-grandfather around.” Lin Qing He instructed.
“Understood.” All three sons agreed.
Lin Qing He was a little melancholy: “You guys not even homesick, or feel unaccustomed?”
“No.” The three answered honestly.
After the pressure and blows from their parents, the three brothers became very independent and adaptable. They were just spending New Year in the capital. What was there to feel unaccustomed about?
Anyway, their parents will return after the New Year. It will be less than a month.
So when the 20th arrived, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were on their way home. Whether they had money or not, they always had to go home for the New Year.
As for the children, leave them be. Don’t want to go back, then don’t.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came to Hai City and strolled around.
Zhou Qing Bai noticed how familiar she was the road and asked: “Been here a few times?”
“Two or three times.” Lin Qing He didn’t pay attention and just answered without any thoughts.
When her wits reacted, she looked at her Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai swept a glance at her and strolled forward. Obviously, this guy was angry.
Lin Qing He sighed softly, chased up, and said, “You have learned the art of speaking now and became sly.”
Especially when she was so defenseless against him. It was basically, 100% fall into the trap.
When Zhou Qing Bai looked at her, Lin Qing He immediately raised her hand and surrendered: “I will take you wherever I go in the future. If you are not by my side, I will definitely not make the decision on my own, otherwise, you can do whatever you want with me!”
Zhou Qing Bai didn’t continue with the stern face.
Have to say, this year’s Hai City was really more prosperous and more active than last year.
Because Zhou Qing Bai was here, Lin Qing He was very restrained and only bought a few watches, two radios, and two electric fans.
However, when she came to the mall, she started to clear out all kinds of new clothes.
For Zhou Qing Bai and herself. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou each gets a cotton-padded coat. So did old Wang and her three sons.
Still, she and Zhou Qing Bai had the most. Each had two new set of clothes.
The rest were some other clothes, shoes, and belts. It will be brought back and passed to Shen Yu.
The couple only rested in Hai City for one day and departed early the next morning.
Lin Qing He gave those things to Shen Yu. One electric fan, two radios were kept. One for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. They’ll definitely like it.
The other one was brought to the dumpling shop so that everyone could listen to the radio while eating dumplings.
The electric fan was also kept.
All the others were sold.
Shen Yu was overjoyed. But because Lin Qing He brought back a lot of things this time, especially a few pairs of leather shoes which were so expensive, she couldn’t take the money out all at once.
“Pay me half first. Wait until we leave after the new year. I’ll come over then and give me the other half.” Lin Qing He said to her.
“Okay.” Shen Yu responded straightforwardly.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai rode the bicycle in the space and came to Zhou Xiao Mei’s place. This bicycle was bought in the south this year.
Despite coming back from Hai City and made a fortune, Lin Qing He cried out that she was a poor ghost.
Even when she saved a lot of money in her space, she was still a poor man.
If she didn’t take advantage of this time to make more money, what can she do in the future? After all, she didn’t have the ambition to conquer the ocean of stars.
She was thinking about investing more in real estate and collecting rents for retirement. She’ll just take her Qing Bai around the world and see more of the outside world. She had no other big ambitions.
So if she didn’t make more money at this time, when will she make more money?
The annual income of her family’s Qing Bai had reached more than two thousand this year. Although it was less than three thousand, it was definitely not a small amount. In this era, it was a large sum.
While she relied on her salary. Although it wasn’t low, it was only more than 3,000 in total when including Zhou Qing Bai’s.
Relying on these two incomes, she still can’t afford the courtyard dwelling she was so fond of.
So she had to short sell.
The couple came over to Zhou Xiao Mei’s.
Zhou Xiao Mei’s place was really lively now.
Initially, it was only two of them in the 40 square meters or so place. It was really spacious then. But now they got four children and it wasn’t anymore.
“Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law!” Zhou Xiao Mei was extremely delighted.
Su Cheng, Su Xun, and the others greeted their uncle and aunt.
“Good children, go eat candy.” Lin Qing He gave them a bag of candy.
“Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law, just you came back? The boys didn’t come back?” Zhou Xiao Mei asked.
“We recognized a godfather over there. The brothers said that their god-grandfather is too lonely there, so they will stay there for the New Year this year.” Lin Qing He explained.
At this time, Su Da Lin hadn’t got off work. It happened to be after three o’clock in the afternoon. Still, working hours.
“Recognized a godfather.” Zhou Xiao Mei nodded, and then asked her fourth brother: “Fourth brother, did you get used to in the capital?”
“I did” Zhou Qing Bai concisely replied.
Lin Qing He smiled and said, “Look at your fourth brother and you’ll know.”
This year Zhou Qing Bai was a bit fatter than the previous years.
After all, there was no need to work in the field. Although he had to get up early every day, he was the chef. Zhou Qing Bai will inevitably grow meat. At least 20 jins were gained.
Especially on the little belly. It was so meaty. Lin Qing He liked to touch it.
Even when Zhou Qing Bai always regarded it as inviting him.
Zhou Xiao Mei grinned and said, “Fourth Brother really gained a lot this year. How’s the business there?”
“Business is pretty good.” Zhou Qing Bai answered.
“Not lower than my salary at all.” Lin Qing He added.
Needless to say how much money it was. This sentence ‘not lower than her salary’ was enough.
“Da Lin’s factory isn’t very prosperous this year,” Zhou Xiao Mei mentioned
“Do you want to go home during Chinese New Year?” Lin Qing He asked.
“I’ll go back this year.” Zhou Xiao Mei said.
“As a sister-in-law, I will tell you the truth. Just rely on Brother-in-law’s skill in making steamed buns, the business won’t do badly when he goes over to the capital and opened a shop. I won’t guaranteed this rest, but the salary will definitely not be worse than here. “Lin Qing He stated.
“When Da Lin comes back, I will tell Da Lin.” Zhou Xiao Mei nodded. She especially wanted to go to the capital.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn’t stay too long. They also didn’t stay for dinner. After a while, they left a roast duck and then rode home by themselves.
