Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 14 Unresponsible Mother

Got an email from work a few days ago. It seems like I might be working earlier than expected. Guess my stockpile is going to be half of my original expectation. Less than 2 weeks left before work begins T.T Chapter 14. Unresponsible Mother
Because of serious injuries, the villains' father remained at that side for a month to recuperate.
Afterward, he came back. It'll be the end of October or almost November in the lunar calendar when the villains' father would return.
Lin Qing He felt that after the villains' father come back, she would definitely not be as free as she was now. After all, there was an adult living at home, and she couldn't be as unscrupulous as dealing with three children.
So before the villains' dad comes back, she must acquire everything that should be added to the family.
This era didn't have much to entertain themselves with. It was in the midst of the busy autumn harvest and the sun was still a bit merciless. The original owner's skin was very well maintained, so Lin Qing He does not want to ruin it.
In fact, in her opinion, it wasn't too white. Just not tanned. But compared with the people in the village, then she was really white.
So in the following days, Lin Qing He cooked at home.
Because the original owner didn't interact with anyone, meaning she didn't have much communication. So it goes without saying, she could only make stuff for the children to eat at home.
This made Zhou Da Wa, Zhou Er Wa, and Zhou San Wa overjoyed.
Under the last few days of Lin Qing He's guidance, Zhou San Wa began to speak. As soon as he spoke, words after words jumped out of him as if a vessel in his brain opened up.
Like 'meat', 'pee', 'eat', 'water', and of course, the most said was 'mother'.
The three children ate with a mouthful of oil. Although the original owner was lazy but knew that she did not interact with the people around her, so she must be self-sufficient.
So there was a vegetable garden in the backyard with tomatoes, cucumbers, leeks, green vegetables, and radishes planted.
Varieties are relatively mixed and not planted a lot. Each one was planted one row.
So naturally, it was up to Lin Qing He.
Like scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed radish and bones, and fried pork slices and cucumbers. It was her choice. The three children at home did not understand these and Lin Qing He also had her explanation.
She said it was bought last time and been marinated with salt.
Lin Qing He also took out a piece of pork belly and a piece of loin and marinated it. She marinated it with salt and then fried it to eat. It was nice and salty. It could not be better when it was served with congee or noodles.
Lin Qing He kept feeding them this way, and in just a few days, Zhou San Wa became white and delicate. Kids got chubby fast.
Being nurtured like this by Lin Qing He and kept clean every day, Mother Zhou froze when she saw Zhou San Wa after coming over with the San Wa's winter clothes that Third Sister-in-law finished first once the autumn harvest was over.
"Third Sister-in-law's craftsmanship isn't bad at all." Lin Qing He placed Zhou San Wa in Mother Zhou's arms to let her appreciate it and took a look at a set of clothes in a small shallow basket.
Third Sister-in-law's skill was pretty good, and because she did it as soon as she was free, it took only a few days for her to make San Wa's set.
Of course, it was because of San Wa's smallness, and it didn't take much effort.
Zhou Da Wa's and Zhou Er Wa's one should be coming soon. Now the autumn harvest was over, Third Sister-in-law she didn't have much on her hand. She can go all out in making clothes as they didn't need her for house chores.
She gave enough cotton, so even if Third Sister-in-law hid a bit, the cotton coat and trousers were still made very thick.
For example, in this set, it was perfect for the little one to wear in winter.
Even though it was a little small, it was just this one set.
"Oh, that's right, Mother. There is no egg at home. Give me some food first, I will give money." Lin Qing He declared.
There were no chickens at home. So naturally, the eggs that aren't laid, was eaten quickly. She intends to take a few jin out of the space, but she must have a source for eggs.
"There is some at home. How much do you want?" Mother Zhou glanced at her and said.
"Just give me one jin. In two days, I'll have to go to the town for the market. I need to buy some stuff, so I'll get them together." Lin Qing He said.
"You are going to the market again?" Mother Zhou exclaimed.
"If I don't go, what do we eat? The three boys at home have a big appetite and it’s getting colder and colder. At that time, I don't want to head out. So buy what I need and the earlier it's done, the earlier it finishes. Mother, do you need to buy anything? If you do, I'll get it as well for you. "Lin Qing He said.
"I don't lack anything." Mother Zhou had a change of opinion about her since she had taken good care of her three grandsons, especially little San Wa, who got a lot chubbier. But once she heard her plan to spendthrift again, her heart ached.
She had the mind to say something but knew well that Fourth Daughter-in-law wouldn't listen to what she said. So she suppressed it.
Lin Qing He said two days. But in fact, the next day she fed Zhou San Wa early in the morning and carried him to Mother Zhou.
Zhou Da Wa and Zhou Er Wa also followed. The two actually wanted to go with their mother. Lin Qing He found the one hour plus journey was too long. She found it troublesome and what's more to bring two small kids? She didn't want to.
So they were brought to the old Zhou Family. Of course, she also brought a small bag of rock candy and gave it to Mother Zhou to let her deal with it.
It was still very early at this time. The rest of the old Zhou family hadn't gotten up yet, as they were very tired for a period and could finally be inactive and sleep in.
Lin Qing He didn't care. She dropped the children and went out carrying a basket.
"Every day, only know how to deplete money, Don't she know to save a little money? The children are still so young. When they grow up, everything needed money?" After she left, Mother Zhou grumbled.
Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law heard a voice and came out to ask what was going on. Mother Zhou didn't withhold her complaints.
The Two Sister-in-law listened and remained silent, but they actually agreed with Mother Zhou. Fourth's wife really squandered away the money without a blink as if her money wasn't money.
They wouldn’t be able to do it. Each bit of money they spend, they got very distressed. After all, the three branches only get so much pocket money for the whole year. Because they haven't separated from the family yet, the majority of the money was kept by Mother Zhou. However, she does give them pocket money. Just one liang or so for them to save.
"But I see that Fourth Sister-in-law is putting more care toward Da Wa and his brothers." Eldest Sister-in-law said as she watched the brothers.
At least she knew to bring San Wa over when going to the market. Before, she didn't. Just dumped them at home. Such a small child, to be so careless.
Mother Zhou didn't comment.
Third Sister-in-law asked Zhou Da Wa: "Da Wa, what did your mother cook for you? Third Auntie can see that you brothers have grown a lot of meat in just a few days."
"Our mother made meat for us. Bacon is very fragrant!" Zhou Da Wa said aloud.
"Meat?" Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law was stunned. How could there be meat now?
"Why are you two asking so much? In a few days, the team will divide the meat. At that time, your share won't be missing." Naturally, Mother Zhou thought she knew and interrupted.
Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law understood that their mother-in-law did not want them to ask anymore, and they tactfully not ask anymore.
This made Zhou Da Wa, who was prepared to say what his mother had made for them these days, disappointed. However, hearing the kids outside calling him to play, he said nothing and immediately dashed out.
Of course, he did not forget to ask his grandma for a piece of rock candy before going out.
After the rest of the old Zhou Family woke and saw Er Wa and San Wa were all here. It was only after they asked did they know the brother's irresponsible mother went to the market again.
