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

Chapter 225 All raised well

Chapter 225. Raised very well

This year’s autumn harvest was still very smooth. The autumn rain only came down after the winter wheat was planted.

At this time, the production’s public ration was handed in. Everyone’s food was also distributed. They were sharpening their knife and preparing for the meat distribution.

Also this period was also the day when Zhou Da Ni will get married.

This was the eldest granddaughter of the old Zhou family and it was still off-season time. So they prepared for the occasion.

Because of the gap of one generation, Lin Qing He didn’t get a quilt as the dowry like she did for Zhou Xiao Mei when she got married.

Lin Qing He gave five yuan and gave at same time as the other sisters-in-law.

She also gave Zhou Da Ni an addition of a bolt of cloth so that she can make new clothes. This was also her best wishes to her.

The day after the meat distribution, Zhou Da Ni got married.

Lin Qing He reminisced. When she came, Zhou Da Ni was only that big. In a blink of an eye, she got married and soon will be a mother.

Lin Qing He couldn’t help out as she got classes to teach. The banquet was attended by Zhou Qing Bai.

When Zhou Da Ni got married, the few aunts (father’s sisters) also sent money back. It wasn’t much, just five yuan per person. Still, the money was all Zhou Da Ni’s dowry. Even when the in-law family hasn’t separated, the money didn’t need to be handed in.

Of course, if one encounters a tasteless in-law family, they will demand the dowry from the daughter-in-law. Fortunately, Eldest Sister-in-law didn’t plan to push her eldest daughter into the fire pit. She sought a reliable household.

Now that it was off-peak farming season, the weather was beginning to cool down.

Especially after the autumn rain, the temperature started to drop.

"You brothers need to bundle up. You aren’t allowed to play in the water anymore, understand?" Lin Qing He got up early in the morning and reminded the Su brothers.

Now they both lived here. The brothers loved it here and don’t often go over to old Zhou’s.

"We stopped playing in the water a long time ago. We’re playing marbles." Su Cheng responded.

"Hungry." His younger brother, Su Xun voiced out.

"Are you hungry? Let’s eat rabbit," San Wa, who was already dressed, said.

"Don’t! Don’t eat rabbit." Su Xun responded at once.

The little rabbits that were caught during the autumn harvest were raised. Now it was a lot bigger. Little Su Xun treasured them and didn’t want to slaughter them to eat.

"It’s raised to be eaten. Didn’t you like it very much last time? Didn’t you munched it so happily?" San Wa said.

"That’s right. It’s great to raise it to eat. Just like the chickens" Su Cheng was more practical.

"Don’t eat it. Raise!" Su Xun protested. He started sniffing. Most likely about to sob.

"Don’t cry. The rabbit will really be slaughtered if you cry." Lin Qing He interjected.

Little Su Xun immediately forced back the tears that were about to overflow.

"That’s right. We’ll raise it if you wish to." Lin Qing He said. Wait until they fatten up. By then, it’ll be slaughtered for the New Year.

Little Su Xun was delighted.

After breakfast, he went to care for the rabbits. Lin Qing He left him be. She had already started knitting a sweater for Da Wa.

The previous ones didn’t fit anymore. So this year she bought another two jins of woolen yarn to knit a new one for Da Wa. The old one will be passed down to Er Wa. Not being wasteful at all.

After the autumn rain stopped, Zhou Qing Bai went to get firewood to prepare for the winter.

This year was much much warmer than last year. At this time last year, it was really extremely cold. That’s why Lin Qing He didn’t mind spending more money to stock up firewood in advance.

It wasn’t that cold this year, so Lin Qing He let Zhou Qing Bai get the firewood.

When Zhou Qing Bai came back, he also brought a pheasant back. He captured it when he was gathering firewood.

Lin Qing He immediately grabbed a handful of mushrooms and soaked it. This pheasant was perfect with the fried mushrooms.

"I’m going to the city in two days to send clothes to Da Wa. Do you want to buy anything?" Lin Qing He asked him.

"Buy something for yourself." Zhou Qing Bai said to her.

Lin Qing He smiled at him: "Would I treat myself badly?"

Zhou Qing Bai, the tough guy, gave her a gentle gaze and then started to sort the firewood.

There was some firewood that needs to be dried, so they have to be spread out.

This matter was assigned to him. Then he was asked to kill the pheasant. Although she spoiled the man, Lin Qing He won’t hold back on sending him to work.

Men, they got to be ordered around more to improve family harmony. And she didn’t have to make it hard for herself.

However, the three meals a day must be done well. That way it’s fair, right?

Pheasant with fried mushrooms was a completely perfect dish. It was flavorful and aromatic. It was served with rice. The whole family had a fulfilled expression.

"Father, will you want to hunt wild boars with your uncle this year?" San Wa asked.

He was already this big. He obviously remembered the wild boar matter and found it exciting.

"Hunt what wild boar? When you see it, you escape from it asap. What hunt?" Lin Qing He said.

"Da Wa will go to university in the future. Better to save some tuition." Mother Zhou added.

If youngest son doesn’t have that ability, she will definitely not speak out. The main factor was that youngest son has that ability. That’s why for grandson’s college tuition in the future, then go for it if there is one.

"You don’t need money to enter college. Same with living expenses. There are allowances. So there’s no need. You aren’t allowed to do such dangerous things." Lin Qing He directed at Zhou Qing Bai at once.

"En." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Even though Mother Zhou was rebutted by her daughter-in-law, she was satisfied in her heart. Fourth’s wife really cared about old Fourth.

Lin Qing He didn’t care about this. Hunt wild boars? That thing was that huge. On top of that, medical care was dangerous at the moment. Don’t think about hunting. Pheasants, hares, etc. was more like it.

After the sweater was knitted, Lin Qing He brought it to the city to give it to Da Wa. She sold the meat in her hand before buying milk powder for the children at home.

As for Da Wa, there was no need. The county city was different from the countryside. Even in winter, there was a supply of fresh milk.

"Fourth Sister-in-law is really willing to treat the children." When Zhou Xiao Mei got home that day, she saw Da Wa’s new sweater and emotionally remarked.

"True." Su Da Lin agreed.

"I estimate Fourth Sister-in-law’s salary is basically used up." Zhou Xiao Mei analyzed.

"All... are raised very... very well," Su Da Lin said.

What he was referring to was that the children raised by Lin Qin He were outstanding. Zhou Xiao Mei decided: "We will also nurture our children in the same way as my fourth sister-in-law in the future."

"Alright." Su Da Lin nodded in response.

Da Wa wasn’t at home. He went out to play basketball. He and his classmates pooled together money to buy it. Have to say, life in the city was indeed more colorful than life in the country.

Watching movies, strolling in the park, playing basketball, going to the restaurant, and the likes. It had everything.

Of course, there were many things to play in the countryside, but it wasn’t as developed as the city.

After playing basketball, Da Wa strolled back to his aunt’s house. When he works in the future, he has to save money to buy a house to settle down in the city. He can also bring his parents over.
