Chapter 316: Design sketch
Back to Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai’s side. They arrived in the capital a few days later.
None of Zhou Kai and his brothers came to pick them up. They didn’t know they were coming back at this time.
The couple took their nieces and nephew back to the apartment. It was easy to get, just required a few bus changing
“Finally arrived.” Lin Qing He breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the apartment building.
Zhou Kai and his brothers weren’t home. Since they weren’t at home, they must be in the dumpling shop. The shop should be opened at this time.
“Aunt, you have a TV?” Hu Zi said with bright eyes.
“Yes.” Lin Qing He smiled: “You can watch it if you want in the evening.”
“Fourth Aunt, where are Da Wa and the others?” Er Ni asked.
“At this moment, they should be at the dumpling shop,” Lin Qing He said.
She went to check next door. Aunt Ma wasn’t at home. So the dumpling shop had opened.
“The three of you get ready. We’re taking a bath in the bathhouse first.” Lin Qing He said.
The first thing she wanted to do when she came back here was to take a shower. After washing up, it’ll feel more comfortable.
Zhou Qing Bai prepared and grabbed his clothes. Lin Qing He took her nieces to the women’s bathhouse, while Zhou Qing Bai took Hu Zi to the men’s bathhouse.
At the appointed time, they came out. They felt more energetic and cleaner.
“Let’s eat at the dumpling shop,” Lin Qing He declared.
Zhou Kai and his brothers had already opened the business. They were all busy. Old Wang and Aunt Ma were also present.
“Back?” Aunt Ma welcomed with a grin.
“On such cold weather, you’re not using warm water to wash?” Lin Qing He said.
“I have. Won’t get cold.” Aunt Ma merrily answered.
“I bought an extra jar of vanishing cream. Aunt, use it later.” Lin Qing He continued.
“There’ no need” Aunt Ma responded at once.
“There is. On such freezing weather, it’s hard on Aunt.” Lin Qing He said. Then she greeted old Wang, and introduced him to TueZhou Er Ni and others: “This is your fourth uncle’s godfather. Also, your brother Kai and the others’ god-grandfather. You can call Grandfather Wang.”
Zhou Er Ni, Hu Zi, and Xu Sheng Mei called Grandfather Wang.
Old Wang smiled and nodded.
“This is our warm-hearted old neighbor, Aunt Ma, you have to call Granny Ma.” Lin Qing He introduced.
They also politely greeted.
Aunt Ma smiled and said, “These are?”
“This is Er Ni, my eldest sister-in-law’s second daughter. This is Sheng Mei, my eldest sister’s daughter. This lad is Hu Mi, my second sister’s son.” Lin Qing He smiled: “I plan to open another shop, a clothing store. I’ll let them go and watch it for me when the time comes.”
These words were to assure Aunt Ma and also clarifying to Zhou Er Ni and others.
Obviously, Zhou Er Ni and the others were surprised.
“I’ll tell you when we go back. I’m tired after sitting in the train for so long. Eat first,” Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Kai gave his cousins dumplings.
Zhou Kai was younger than Zhou Er Ni. However, he was a bit older than Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mei, despite the three being the same age.
Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He also had dumplings.
After getting off the train and taking a shower, a bowl of hot dumplings couldn’t be any more satisfying
“Father, Mother, you didn’t say anything in advance. It’s too late to buy a quilt.” Zhou Xuan stated, “They’ll have to live in the guest house.”
“Your dad brought a quilt and a mattress. Quite handy for Er Ni and Sheng Mei to use. Later, you bring all the stuff over here. As for Hu Zi, he can squeeze with you to sleep.” Lin Qing He arranged.
The dumpling shop just happened to fit two people and no more. The arrangement was arranged for Er Ni and Sheng Mei. It was still considered spacious.
As for at home, it’ll be her three boys and Hu Zi. With the four of them, it was actually a bit crowded. Well, there were boys, it didn’t matter if it was crowded.
“Your fourth uncle knows all the neighbors around here. Don’t be afraid. It will be locked when we go back at night. You go to the second floor to go to bed early. Your fourth uncle will come and open the door early tomorrow morning.” Lin Qing He said.
They were both seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, so there was no need to be so cautious.
Another thing was that Zhou Qing Bai was a likable person. He got along well with the neighbors around the shop. Later, he will give the neighbors a heads-up. If something really happens, who can ignore it? People at this time were still very enthusiastic.
“Okay.” Zhou Er Ni kept in mind.
While Xu Sheng Mei was pining for TV at home. She had never watched TV before.
Old Wang didn’t stay much longer. He went back at around seven o’clock.
The dumpling shop did not close until eight o’clock.
The whole family returned home then. They watched TV as they ate oranges. It was until after nine o’clock when Zhou Kai and Hu Zi carried Zhou Er Ni and Xu Sheng Mei’s clothes and cotton quilts to the dumpling shop.
The dumpling shop was just over ten minutes’ walk from here. Very close.
“Sister Er Ni, don’t be afraid when living here. Early tomorrow, the shop will be open.” Zhou Kai said.
“Not afraid.” Zhou Er Ni smiled.
When they came to the dumpling shop for dinner, she and Xu Sheng Mei had gone up to the second floor first and cleaned it. Although it was very simple and only had a wooden bed, it won’t be cold with a mattress on the floor and a quilt on top.
Hot water bottles, enamel cups, etc., were all newly bought for them.
To put it bluntly, such accommodation conditions were much better than at home.
“The TV just now was so interesting.” Xu Sheng Mei said.
Zhou Er Ni didn’t pay much mind: “Go to bed early. We need to get up early tomorrow and go that side to clean up the shop.”
Tonight, her fourth aunt said that they brought so many people here to watch another shop, not for the dumpling shop.
“En.” Xu Sheng Mei nodded and the two cousins went to bed.
At home, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were also tired. Lin Qing He still had a lot to do tomorrow, so they went to bed first.
As for the few boys outside, they didn’t pay any heed to them. Because Hu Zi found the TV interesting Zhou Kai and his brothers joined him until ten o’clock before calling it a day.
Zhou Qing Bai went to the shop early the next morning. Lin Qing He didn’t sleep in and got up at six o’clock. Since the new semester starts tomorrow, she got a lot of work today.
Over at the shop, she left it to her nephews and nieces to clean up. She took the cloth and came to look for a retired female worker in the community.
She got a good relationship with Aunt Ma and was introduced by Aunt Ma.
“These clothes, go by my size. I don’t know if you can produce it witin three days?” Lin Qing He passed a design sketch.
These were the clothes she drew when she was in her hometown. The size and so on were all in one size.
