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

Chapter 423: Lost the baby

It renovated for few days. Also, the three new recruits. They no longer needed them to order around.

Currently, their salary was only half of the standard as they were still on a trial period. Have to wait until they become the official employee before it can be discussed.

After Lin Qing He got busy, she felt more fulfilled.

The days at work were really tiring and she wished to get a holiday. While, on a long break, she will miss the days at work.

It was worth mentioning that Lin Qing He’s salary had risen again this year. Although it had only increased by five yuan, it was better than nothing.

When it comes to her salary level, it was really much higher than the current average level.

This was 1983. Some workers with ten years of working experience didn’t change their positions and only got forty yuans of salary.

For example, the position that Uncle Ma gave to Ma Cheng Min in the past. Uncle Ma had worked for almost his entire life and only got forty yuan.

Although prices have increased, forty yuan was enough for a family of five to frugally use.

Although Lin Qing He had increased the salary a little this year, it was truly a little. After all, the issue of salary wasn’t just simply giving the salary. One also had to consider the salary level of other factories.

Can’t have too much of a difference.

Got to be close to the outside. Lin Qing He didn’t intend to stand out.

What’s more, the salaries paid every month were quite a lot.

Lin Qing He originally intended to take the truck out earlier as it would be convenient to go to the hot springs during the holidays. But after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.

Wait until she goes to the south this summer vacation. She will drive back with the right reason.

However, on this day in mid-March, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai borrowed Wang Yuan’s car. The couple took Father Zhou, Mother Zhou, and old Wang to the hot spring.

As for the shop, it will be taken care of by their two sons.

Have to say that this hot spring was really excellent. They were all independent hot springs and pure natural ones. It was extremely comfortable to soak.

“It’s too expensive. It costs ten yuan per person.” Although Mother Zhou enjoyed it, she felt a little distressed about the money.

“It does cost ten yuan now. This hot spring is comfortable to soak in. I estimate the price will be more expensive when we come over later.” Lin Qing He said honestly.

She was very satisfied when she came here this time. The hot spring was enjoyable. Her family Qing Bai had long wished to bring her here.

“Going to be more than ten yuans? Then who would come.” Mother Zhou exclaimed.

In Mother Zhou’s opinion, this time fifty yuan was gone for five people. How much was one’s pay in one month?

There was a generation gap between Lin Qing He and her, so she won’t say much.

“It’s not easy to make money. Don’t spend it like this. We also have a bathhouse near our place. A bath is only three dimes.” Mother Zhou told her son.

“En. Alright.” Zhou Qing Bai responded.

When they got home, Lin Qing He didn’t say anything. Old lady was always like this.

However, Mother Zhou received some nagging from Father Zhou: “Your son and daughter-in-law took you to the hot springs. You don’t have to pay a penny and actually grumbled all the way. Can you be any more annoying?”

Father Zhou had endured all the way back. Old Wang was present and still kept going once they got in the car. What did she intend to do?

It wasn’t like Son can’t afford it now. What’s more, how often would they go there? Although it was indeed extravagant, how many years can they live to enjoy these luxuries?

The son and daughter-in-law were filial, so there was no reason to stop them, right?

When Zhou Xiao Mei came back, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa sulking. So she asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to the hot spring?”

Father Zhou wasn’t at home. He went to play chess with old Mister Hu from next door.

Although there were some frictions between the old ladies, Father Zhou and old Mister Hu and old Mister Zhu were still in harmony. After all, there was no direct conflict. It was just senseless stir between the women.

So they went on their merry way.

“I was just saying a word or two about the hot springs being too expensive? Your father quarreled with me when we got back.” Mother Zhou angrily replied.

“How much is it?” Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

“Ten yuan each. So spent fifty yuan for five people.” Mother Zhou answered.

“This is indeed a bit expensive.” Zhou Xiao Mei nodded. This was the truth. The bun shop business was very good, but it only made a profit of ten yuan or so a day. How can fifty not be a lot?

“That’s right!” Mother Zhou found a kindred spirit and said: “It’s not just that money. We also ate a meal there. I think it cost a few yuans. Even though your fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law can make money, money can’t be spent like this, right?”

“You quarreled with my father because of this?” Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

“Your father thinks I’m annoying. Thinks I’m old now and talk too much.” Mother Zhou babbled.

Zhou Xiao Mei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Although it’s a bit expensive, it’s a rare visit. Since it’s spent, then it’s spent. Don’t talk about it, Mother.”

Mother Zhou pouted her lips and said, “I won’t go next time. It’s expensive.”

Zhou Xiao Mei internally remarked, according to my fourth sister-in-law’s temperament, there probably won’t be next time after you nagging after this trip.

Actually, Zhou Xiao Mei hit bullseye.

Although Lin Qing He didn’t care about these trivial things with Mother Zhou, she won’t want to call Mother Zhou next time. Next time she was going to call Father Weng and Mother Weng.

Life was going well, but in April, Xu Sheng Mei had a miscarriage.

The reason was that she accidentally stepped on the glass marble that Zhao Jun’s nephew from his eldest brother’s side had scattered on the ground and fell. A loud crash had sounded and immediately red was seen.

Although she was rushed to the hospital, the five-month fetus couldn’t be saved.

Lin Qing He and others didn’t know this at all. After all, there was quite a distance between them. Old Zhao Family felt very guilty of this kind of matter. Would they take the initiative to come over here to inform them?

It was Xu Sheng Mei who came to talk about it after sitting in her post-natal confinement.

Her whole aura conveyed that she could fall with one wind blow. So slender and weak.

Even Zhou Xiao Mei dropped by and told Lin Qing He: “This good girl had been ruined by this old Zhao Family like this. Old Zhao Family is simply going overboard!”

Lin Qing He had her reservations about this. These were Xu Sheng Mei’s words. If she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t take it to her heart.

Xu Sheng Mei’s image in her heart was on the same level as Zhao Jun. The two were the same weight. It was no wonder why they got together.

Now it was like this, Lin Qing He wouldn’t sympathize with either. When she chose Zhao Jun, she should have this expectation. Zhao Family wasn’t really so peaceful.

Especially with Mother Zhao. She was truly what her colleague in her previous life talked about, a smiling tiger.

What’s more, the baby was lost and Xu Sheng Mei can still be so calm. Hu Zi and the others wanted to seek justice for her. They were all stopped by her.

Lin Qing He estimated that Zhao Family had probably given some compensation.

After Xu Sheng Qiang traveled over, Lin Qing He thoroughly understood.
