Chapter 229 Happiness

Chapter 229. Happiness

She chatted with her few sisters-in-law and nibbled on melon seeds. There were only one or two days a year that was like this. What’s more, it was the end of the year. Everyone was jolly and merry. After all, the family was allocated the food and the money. All of which were held by themselves. How can they not be happy?

Speaking of it, old Zhou family was really much more liberal than other families.

Even Second Sister-in-law can find a sense of superiority when she goes out to compare herself with other wives.

Lin Qing He only returned after sitting for approximately two hours.

She poured a ceramic cup of sesame soup tea and said to Zhou Qing Bai: "When did you come back?"

"Not too long ago." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

The couple headed out together. Lin Qing He went to find the sisters-in-law to eat melon seeds. Later, a few married women around their age came. They all chatted and talk about family affairs. While Zhou Qing Bai visited at the leader’s house. There were many people. He just came back.

As for Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa, none of them had come back yet.

"Drink some too." Lin Qing He poured him a cup too.

Zhou Qing Bai drank it.

"Tomorrow my brother and my sister-in-law will come over." Lin Qing He told him.

She heard from Da Wa. This time Father Lin was ill, she didn’t send a penny over. If she didn’t know, then forget it. However, eldest son personally encountered it. So she cut out a piece of meat for the sake of going through the motion.

But she let the Third Brother Lin give it in his own name and not in her name.

Lin Qing He really didn’t want to be involved in a father-daughter drama with Father Lin.

She also heard a few words from Third Sister-in-law Lin. Father Lin’s illness was indeed more severe compared with Father Zhou’s last year. Mother Lin only noticed when he almost burned his brain silly in the middle of the night. After that, it was chicken flying and dogs jumping.

Lin Qing He wasn’t interested in this matter, so just a display of thought was enough.

"En." Zhou Qing Bai acknowledged. Tomorrow he will be at home waiting for his brother-in-law to come.

"One year after another. It really passes fast." Lin Qing He reminisced.

Zhou Qing Bai’s gaze was gentle. He took her hand, and said, "Forever pretty."

Lin Qing He’s eyes lit up. Alas, her family Qing Bai knew how to speak words of romance?

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Qing Bai looked at his wife. Lin Qing He got into a huddle with Zhou Qing Bai. The couple went back to the room to be naughty.

Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa only got around nine o’clock.

"Lock the door and go to sleep." From the room, their father’s voice sounded.

Obviously, the husband and wife had already called it a day.

Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa answered in unison. Then they numbly locked the door and went back to the room.

"It’s still so early." Inside the room, Lin Qing He wasn’t asleep. She gave Zhou Qing Bai a light hammer.

Zhou Qing Bai’s voice was a little husky: "It is early."

This hinted at something meaningful. It came to Lin Qing He, her aunt came a few days ago. He didn’t touch her when she left yesterday. However, today...

Lin Qing He coughed dryly and said, "It’s New Year. We aren’t young anymore. Just relax."

It was impossible to relax around. They busied away from around nine o’clock to around 12 o’clock. Although there was a break during the period, Lin Qing He was still so tired that she couldn’t move her fingers.

"If you are like this, see if your back hurt to death tomorrow." Lin Qing He uttered weakly.

"It won’t." Zhou Qing Bai was satisfied and went to sleep with his wife in his arms.

If the living conditions was terrible, then he won’t have the strength. However, she had taken care of him very well. Everything was managed so meticulously. It was only three times. His body can withstand it.

Although Zhou Qing Bai hadn’t mentioned it before, he vaguely knew that if Da Wa’s true mother was here, them father and son would have it hard.

In fact, when he first came back, he was worried. Endlessly worried. However, he never thought that his wife had already changed her soul then.

Zhou Qing Bai didn’t think there was any wrong. One could call him a scumbag. But honestly, he and the boys really didn’t have much affection with the boys’ true mother.

The number of times he came back over the years can be counted.

But toward his current wife, he clearly understood that she was the one he loves. He can hardly imagine what this family would be like without her.

And the children. What kind of paper they will grow into?

Zhou Qing Bai thought about these things as he hugged his wife into a peaceful sleep. Even in his dream, the corners of his mouth were smiling.

Lin Qing He didn’t know that her man had so many thoughts. Although he didn’t say it, he had a lot of it.

While she didn’t think so much. She slept very comfortably in his arms. This man was like a big heater. The kang was cold in the middle of the night, but with him, it wasn’t freezing at all.

Early the next morning, Lin Qing He got up to cook ribs and sesame congee.

Sesame nourishes the kidney. Her cattle had been plowing the land for so long last night, so she got to give it some good nourishment.

With a touch ginger, the sesame and pork ribs congee tasted extremely delicious.

The family had congee and then went with their own business.

Third Brother Lin and Third Sister-in-law Lin brought their three daughters and one son over for a visit. Currently, Third Sister-in-law Lin had one more in her belly.

Lin Qing He couldn’t believe it. Really fertile.

She got an unreserved comment. She had never seen Third Sister-in-law Lin when she wasn’t pregnant.

The couple and their children came over as guests. What’s more, they brought over food.

People were like this at this time. After all, nobody had it easy. Lin Qing He didn’t say anything. She just made sure the lunch was undoubtedly hearty and had them stay for a meal.

The nieces and the nephew were too shy to eat. Lin Qing He used the public chopsticks to give them some.

When going back, Lin Qing He gave a half-bag of milk candy to Third Sister-in-law Lin to take it back and share it.

"Just leave it for San Wa and the others. We don’t need to eat this," dissuaded Third Sister-in-law Lin.

"You can eat them. It’s just half a bag of candy. Take it." Lin Qing He responded.

Third Brother Lin’s children all agreed that Third Aunt was really nice. They want to come as guests again in the future. Lin Qing He expressed that she welcomed them at any time.

Third Brother Lin scheduled a day with his brother-in-law. They will go to hunt pheasant again on the7 th.

The family happily went back.

Lin Qing He turned to Zhou Qing Bai: "My brother is like this. I don’t know if this happiness or unhappiness for him."

"It’s happiness." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

His wife said that future generations will have family planning. Meaning fewer and better births. Afraid she can’t understand this society and its heart for plenty of children.

However, Zhou Qing Bai understood.

There was no concept of family planning at this time. What’s more, the family got a house, as well as having sons and daughters.

What was left?

Just going to the field and earn work points to support the family. If they can support the family, then it will be considered happiness.

"Then it is." Lin Qing He said in her mind.

It’s just, her brother looked more drained (in a skinny skeleton way) than Zhou Qing Bai, the (older) brother-in-law.
