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

Lin Qing He found it pretty good. She took Da Wa home. Once they got home, they noticed Zhou Qing Bai wasn’t there.

"He made a trip to the city." Mother Zhou explained.

Lin Qing He let Zhou Qing Bai be. She got up this morning and put on vanishing cream on him. Really this man. If she didn’t apply it on him, he simply won’t put it on.

Lin Qing He thought he was looking for spoiling in disguise, even when he won’t say out.

Zhou Qing Bai only came back in the evening. When he came back, he brought back a few jins of mutton, which he got with the help of his comrade.

Lamb was relatively scarce here. If one didn’t have connections, it wasn’t easy to get it.

But now that he got it, Lin Qing He didn’t hold back. She stewed a mutton and radish soup.

She was not stingy either. She sent big bowls of mutton soup to the three sisters-in-law. There were more radishes and a little mutton. Even so, it was her thought.

Even if it was Second Sister-in-law, she kept it in mind. When Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law came to visit, she got Eldest Sister-in-law to bring over her two jin of sesame as she hadn’t joined in.

Lin Qing He accepted it without reservation.

The sesame seeds in her family were consumed very quickly. Before the winter this year, she got Mother Zhou to grind a lot of sesame paste and bring it back to keep.

Occasionally, she would make some sesame paste soup for everyone as a snack.

As for this mutton soup, it was indeed nourishing. Zhou Qing Bai felt that his body was quite good after eating it. Lin Qing He liked it too.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Da Lin came back with a lot of food and eggs.

As for Zhou Xiao Mei, she didn’t come back. She was pregnant. Why would she come here in this icy and snowy conditions?

In other words, this year Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei won’t come to the countryside to spend the New Year. However, Su Da Lin will come and take little Su Cheng and little Su Xun back home when the time comes. He hadn’t received his holiday yet, so it will take a while.

Lin Qing He didn’t say anything. She brooded over the fact that everyone in this society was healthy from eating coarse grains.

Look at this couple. They get children when they say they want children.

Not to mention others, even Cai Ba Mei, who married Zhou Dong. Wasn’t her belly pretty big this year? She became pregnant soon after marrying. If it was quick, it’ll be delivered this year. If late, she will give birth early next year.

Cai Ba Mei was indeed a nice person. She was an honest one, she was quite suitable for Zhou Dong as she lived her life peacefully.

And Zhou Dong was no longer the kid he used to be. He was now a good young man earning ten work points. He was also one of the best in the village.

What’s more, being the son-in-law of old Cai family, Zhoujia Village won’t dare to underestimate him.

This time, Su Da Lin came over, he brought a pack of milk powder. Da Wa and the others had her buying it. Su Cheng and his brother would also get a share. So when this package was given to them, Lin Qing He shared it with Da Wa and the rest to drink together.

No reservation or guilt.

"I discussed... with XiaoMei. In the future... when Da Wa goes to high... high school, he will come... to live at my home... no need to live at school..." Su Da Lin expressed his intention.

Lin Qing He smiled: "It would be nice to let Da Wa live in the school."

"Fourth... Sister-in-law, don’t... treat us... like outsider. Let Da Wa go... to live at my home... It’s better." Su Da Lin seriously stated.

His two sons were raised in his fourth brother-in-law’s house. He could see how well they were raised. Not a single suffering. Maybe he and Xiao Mei can’t raise them this well if it were them.

Although he had brought a lot of things, the children still got to eat. What’s more, they also owe a debt of gratitude.

Actually, Lin Qing He had that plan, but she didn’t mention it. Now that Su Da Lin brought it by himself, she could see that he was sincere. So Lin Qing He smiled and said, "OK. If this kid is disobedient in the future, you and my sister-in-law don’t have to be polite with him."

"Da Wa is... very good." Su Da Lin grinned and nodded.

He really felt that Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa were really well taught. If his sons can be the same in the future, then he will be satisfied.

And for now, his eldest son Su Cheng was growing in that direction.

When Father Zhou and Mother Zhou got to know about Da Wa was going to live with his uncle and aunt during high school, they both approved.

The two of them had this intention long ago, but they felt embarrassed to mention it. After all, they didn’t know what Su Da Lin’s thoughts were.

Now that he broached on it, it couldn’t be any better.

Zhou Qing Bai had no opinions on these things. He felt that his son could adapt to wherever he lived.

Da Wa was on vacation. He began to devote himself to studying. Except for being called out by his father to go out for a morning jog and run around the village in the morning, the rest of the time was basically studying. Lin Qing He also guided him.

When school starts next year, she intended to send Da Wa to the second semester of second year. Meaning, Da Wa will skip grades. The learning pressure of this era was really lax.

Compared with him, Er Wa and San Wa didn’t have much stress. But because the snow was really heavy, they can’t go out either.

This year’s weather was really terrible.

In the middle of December, a piece of bad news erupted. An old man in the village was frozen to death in the middle of the night.

This old man was an old bachelor. He hadn’t gotten a wife in his whole life, because of his bad character. No one would help him at all.

The most important thing was that at his age during this weather. He had experienced this weather before and he actually didn’t prepare more firewood. His body wasn’t the best, so he really froze to death.

Everyone knew what he was like when he was alive. But now he died, the deceased was held more priority. Without any words, the younger people in the clan took care of the funeral matters in the name of the humanitarian spirit. With this kind of weather, it can’t be helped that it was rushed.

In addition to this one, there were problems for a few other households. Because of the heavy snow, the house, which was old and not repaired, simply crushed down. Fortunately, people woke up in time and ran fast. They didn’t get squashed. If not, another terrible event was going to happen.

The next day Zhou Qing Bai and his brothers checked their roofs, including their parents’ side. After checking them all carefully and fount there was no problem, they were relieved.

However, it was extremely cold. Many people probably didn’t have enough firewood. They were really pleading everywhere when borrowing from neighbors.

In such weather, who would be willing to lend out their firewood? If cold, go up the mountain to find it yourself!

Which family didn’t keep it for their own family? It was impossible to borrow some firewood.

The pork was distributed in the village on the 20th of December. On the twenty-fifth day of December, Zhou Xi came over to announce the good news. Her sister-in-law gave birth last night and it was a chubby nephew.
