Chapter 164. Enquiring about English textbook
In the first month, it was still an idle period. The production team will not think about what to plant this spring before the fifteenth day of the first month
What's more, there wasn't much to do in January.
At this time they didn't even have a TV to watch.
Speaking of which, nowadays TV sets were only available in the homes of some leaders in the city. And they are still black and white.
If there was a radio in the house, that would be considered very impressive.
Lin Qing He wasn't interested in these things at all. What's more, there was technological advance mobile phone in her space.
While it was not snowing, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went up the mountain.
The three mischievous boys wanted to follow as well. Since they want to, then tag along. With children, one basically doesn't get the space for couple's time.
The family set up traps on the mountain to catch pheasants. Although they didn't catch anything at all in the whole afternoon, the family was still all joy and laughter on the way home.
The people in the village admire this family's life.
Not a moment of feeling troubled at all.
Especially Lin Qing He. Honestly, though this woman didn't know how to live properly, no one had ever seen her beat and scold her child. Unlike some women in the village. When it comes it to, they were more ruthless than men.
The men in the village were quite envious of Zhou Qing Bai.
Lin Qing He was pretty and knew how to cook. She was a spendthrift, but wasn't money earned to be spent?
And whether one knew how to spend money was also a technique. If some people were given money, they won’t know how to spend it. In the end, they save it all.
Then life at home was really meaningless.
What were they eating each day?
Most of the people had experienced the years of famine and can endure hardship. However, there was no damage inflicted from the comparisons.
They saw how Zhou Qing Bai was fed and not get slim at all.
They thought that once he retired from the force, he was going to end up like them.
Who knew there was no change.
It just shows how good Lin Qing He's cooking skills were.
Lin Qing He had nothing to do that day, so she made a nice meal while memorizing the text.
She soaked red beans. She planned to make red bean rolls, which the whole family loved to eat.
After making red bean rolls, she started to cook up things like eight-treasure congee again. This was to let her family intake more fiber and grain.
Every time Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa go out to play, some friends will ask them what they had.
It became a habit to ask.
Da Wa got his fill of showing off now. Same with Er Wa. About what they were eating, there wasn't much to talk about. The two brothers preferred to play football more.
As for San Wa, he was still very eager to talk.
When other pals asked, he counted with his fingers: "My mother made red bean rolls, eight-treasure congee, sesame cake, and peanut crisps. But my favorite is the eight-treasure congee. It's so yummy that I had five bowls in one meal!"
It was unknown when this kid knew how to brag.
Da Wa and Er Wa paid no heed to him. These were the brother's leftover game.
With San Wa's appetite, it'll be amazing if he can eat two bowls, let alone five bowls.
But this didn't affect the envy of the little friends.
Moreover, in their mind, it wasn't about whether San Wa can eat five bowls. The number five didn't represent appetite, but more like how delicious the so-called eight-treasure congee was.
Other why would they eat that much?
"Er Wa, can I come over and do homework with you?" Zhou Xia came to ask Er Wa in private.
How could Er Wa not know what he intended, and said: "You can come over and do your homework, but there is no more congee today. It's all finished."
"Completely finished?" Zhou Xia heard this and expression said 'what a shame'.
His fourth aunt was very nice. If he went over to do homework, his fourth aunt would scoop him a bowl.
"All gone. Grandfather ate the remaining eight-treasure congee in the morning." Er Wa nodded.
"Does grandfather and grandmother like to drink it too?" Zhou Xia asked.
"They do. You don't know how much grandfather likes it. He had a lot. Grandmother also likes it very much. She said it is delicious." Er Wa nodded.
Zhou Xia's saliva flow down at these words, and said, "Can you keep some for me next time you have it?"
"You ask Second Aunt to cook. It's not something unusual. It's made from grains at home." Erwa said.
There wasn't enough food at home to consume. Their family had to support Grandfather and Grandmother. His father's appetite was also large. His mother said that she didn't know how to feed them in the future.
After all, his eldest brother currently ate three bowls each meal, so how can there be enough for others?
Zhou Xia muttered, "My mother definitely won't make it."
This was why he envied Da Wa, Er Wa and San Wa. There were so many delicious things.
Lin Qing He heard it within her room. She was a little embarrassed. In fact, it would be fine to give Zhou Xia a bowl. Since Er Wa refused for her, then forget it.
After all, she had a bad relationship with Second Sister-in-law. Although she had nothing against Zhou Xia, she still can't treat him the same as little Su Cheng.
Speaking of little Su Cheng, the little guy was sent over by his father on the seventh.
He was depressed for two days.
But because Lin Qing He made some yummy food and Brother San Wa played with him, the little guy quickly threw his parents to the back of his mind.
This time, Su Da Lin had brought over a few fishes. One of them was given to Third Sister-in-law.
Zhou Xiao Mei's next child will inevitably need to trouble Third Sister-in-law.
Third Sister-in-law didn't have any objection to helping on this matter. To get so many things for post-natal confinement, who would be against it?
Because her last post-natal confinement was done well, she felt that her health was much better.
Sure enough, post-natal confinement was very particular.
So when Su Da Lin brought the fish over, Third Sister-in-law's attitude was very nice.
Zhou Qing Bai was going to visit with his comrade. Lin Qing He gave him a bottle of good wine to bring over.
Zhou Qing Bai's gaze softened. When he returned, he brought Lin Qing He one smoked rabbit and two smoked pheasants.
"Your comrade gave it?" Lin Qing He said with bright eyes.
"En." Zhou Qing Bai knew she would like it, so when his comrade brought it up, he did not refuse.
After all, those who work in the department found it easier to get these things.
"Chen Gang told me to take you over to sit around sometime." Zhou Qing Bai continued.
"That's fine. We'll go and visit when we have time." Lin Qing He smiled.
Then she began to deal with these smoked wild animals.
Smoked wild animals had a long shelf-life.
The first to be eaten was the smoked rabbit. It was just steam in the pot and had seasoning added. The taste was pretty good.
A rabbit can be divided into two meals. The family ate to their satisfaction.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou didn't care about that much now. It was fine as long as they have something to eat.
They can't nitpick while eating, right?
Soon the days passed and it was time for spring activity. Zhou Qing Bai and Father Zhou had started their sunrise until sunset life, while Lin Qing He went to the black market to quietly enquire about English textbooks. She intended to learn English privately.
