Chapter 239 A man with a wife

To be honest, Mother Zhou felt thankful ever since the village went through the educated youths-college entry exam - divorce situation.

Fortunately, Fourth’s wife wasn’t an educated youth and her maternal family wasn’t from the city.

In the past, Mother Zhou had planned to find an educated youth for Zhou Qing Bai. A knowledgeable educated youth who went to the countryside. But at that time, she hadn’t found a suitable one.

Later, they encountered Lin Qing He.

The current situation in the village had Mother Zhou feeling terrified.

If a city educated youth was introduced her Qing Bai, what would have happened now?

Still, there were still some people who keep whispering idle words in her ear.

They said Fourth’s wife is prospering now and who knows if she will begin to have a second heart. In the beginning, Mother Zhou was worried. But because her eldest grandson and his mother were in the same school, there will be no incidents.

But deep down, Mother Zhou had some worries.

After all, Fourth’s wife was really outstanding now.

Even if she was partial to her youngest son, she knew there was a large gap between her youngest son and his wife.

It was truly climbing social rank.

Surely enough, Lin Qing He sensed Mother Zhou, her mother-in-law’s kindness.

Seeing her mother-in-law making an egg drop soup and added sugar and the likes, Lin Qing He was a little embarrassed. Still, she accepted it and said, "Mother, you don’t need trouble yourself. I arrived at the county town yesterday and stayed over at Xiao Mei’s before coming back. I had breakfast this morning." Lin Qing He said.

"You must be exhausted coming all the way back. Got to nourish. Mother will kill a chicken for you." Mother Zhou responded.

Then she went to the backyard to catch a chicken. Lin Qing He couldn’t stop her. When she saw that there were a group of chickens in the backyard, she asked, "Not restricting now?"

"That’s right. As long as you don’t go around talking about it, no one will care about how much you raise." Mother Zhou replied. Then she remembered her eldest grandson: "Right, where is Da Wa?"

"That lad got a local classmate in the capital. Both of them are freshmen and about the same age, so they got along well. He said that he won’t be coming back this year. I left him money and let him go by himself." Lin Qing He answered.

Don’t look at Da Wa’s age (fourteen years old). With his height, skills, and intelligence, two or three normal adults may not necessarily be his opponent.

Lin Qing He had nothing to worry about.

"That boy. Don’t he know to come back to see his grandparent?" Mother Zhou said.

"I brought things back for you and Father. These were picked by him. He specifically told me not to give it to anyone else. Must be handed to you." Lin Qing He said with a smile.

It was the capital’s eight specialties and a Peking Duck.

Lin Qing He brought it back in the space. If she hadn’t, it would be really difficult to bring it.

That was the only one. If some receive it, then they all have to get it. That’s why Lin Qing He simply left it at one.

Mother Zhou beamed and then chatted with Lin Qing He about things that happened this year.

Lin Qing He just listened. As for the contract responsibility system that will be implemented this year, she didn’t say mention a word. They would know when they get notified about it.

However, she had discussed it with Zhou Qing Bai. Better to not take on too much, because it would only be two or three years. After two or three years, she would directly move her family to the capital.

In the field, Zhou Qing Bai heard that his wife was back. He had the urge to immediately throw the hoe and return.

However, he forced himself to hold back and appeared as if nothing had happened.

Everyone else took this in. Wasn’t this husband and wife’s feeling more real than solid gold? Why was he completely unaffected?

In the past, wasn’t it said in the village that Lin Qing He was blessed and got a good man like Zhou Qing Bai?

Ever since Lin Qing He became a community’s teacher, everyone began to say that Zhou Qing Bai was so fortunate and married such a wife.

And now, everyone only had envy and jealousy.

Zhou Qing Bai persisted until hometime before returning. No one could keep up with his speed when they went back.

He didn’t even wait for Father Zhou.

When he got home, he saw his wife busying away in the kitchen.

Lin Qing He also saw him. He became dark and thin. Sure enough, Mother Zhou’s meals could not be compared with her. She was away for a semester and he had lost at least ten jins.

Lin Qing He couldn’t help tell Mother Zhou off: "Mother, it’s not like we don’t have money at home. You got to cut meat more frequently and eat it."

Mother Zhou: "..."

After Lin Qing He finished complaining, she went to greet him. First, she fetched water and handed a towel to Zhou Qing Bai. Then comforted him.

Zhou Qing Bai listened quietly throughout the whole process. After washing his face, he felt much more refreshed. He took a bath again, changed his clothes, and then came out.

"I’ve only been away for half the academic year, how come you lost so much weight." Lin Qing He continued to say.

"It’s okay." Zhou Qing Bai looked at his wife.

"Mother stewed a chicken for me today. Later, eat more." Lin Qing He instructed.

Today the chicken was hung up by her to make soup. She decided to have chicken noodle soup.

As Lin Qing He spoke to Zhou Qing Bai, Mother Zhou couldn’t find a chance to join in. Still, Mother Zhou didn’t mind even when her daughter-in-law criticized her.

It’s because the old man had told her off before. It’s just she was used to being frugal and can’t cook the food like Fourth’s wife.

Soon Er Wa and San Wa came back from school.

Seeing their mother come back, the brothers were so happy that they could fly.

Seeing that his wife was occupied by two stinky boys so quickly, Zhou Qing Bai gave his two sons a solemn glance.

However, his two sons completely ignored him. They both pestered their mother.

After the reunion, Lin Qing He went to cook the noodles.

After the whole family their meal, they continued the previous topic.

After talking for more than an hour, Lin Qing He wanted to go back to the room with Zhou Qing Bai. But before the couple could, Eldest Sister-in-law and others came over.

Another conversation started. In short, Zhou Qing Bai didn’t have time to interact with his wife in private. And he had to go to work again.

"Didn’t get a chance to rest at noon." Lin Qing He remarked when she saw that he was going to work again.

"Wait for me at home." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and stated.

Lin Qing He picked two tomatoes for him and said, "Snack on this on the road."

Zhou Qing Bai took it and went to work with Father Zhou.

Then at about three o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Qing He rode a bicycle and delivered mung bean soup.

It was already deep into July. The summer harvest had just finished. It was currently summer sowing. Still, quite busy.

When Lin Qing He brought mung bean soup over, both Father Zhou and Zhou Qing Bai get to two bowls.

"As soon as Fourth Sister-in-law comes back, Qing Bai’s treatment gets raised to a higher level." Third Brother and the others envied it.

With their Mother, old Fourth didn’t receive this treatment. Now that Fourth’s wife is back, it went without saying how great old Fourth’s treatment was.

His mother’s tender care couldn’t compare to his wife.

Naturally, Zhou Qing Bai’s heart was pleased by this. However, he was never one to speak pretty words. He just looked at his wife with those eyes.

"I’m going back first. Just passed the community now, there are watermelons. Come home earlier in the evening to eat watermelon." Lin Qing He said.
