Chapter 241. Feed until a sturdy condition
After bidding farewell to Sister Mei, Lin Qing He returned.
The pork belly she bought was to make braised pork. Zhou Qing Bai really lost a lot of weight. Although he wasn't weak, he was really thinner.
Obviously, there wasn't much oil content with Mother Zhou.
It wasn't too early to start preparing lunch at this time.
After all, Lin Qing He had nothing to do after coming back, so she stayed at home to cook.
This year the family raised a lot of chickens. As for pigs, none. The pig pens where the pigs were raised were all turned into chicken pens by Mother Zhou.
It was still forbidden to raise pigs privately. Got to hand it in if one raises them. However, if one raises chickens, it was completely their possession. It went without saying Mother Zhou chose to raise chickens.
There were also a lot of fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard. It can't be finished. She can simply cut some to feed the chicken. It didn't use much food at all.
Lin Qing He didn't get involved. Mantou was for lunch.
Cornmeal mantou served with braised pork, fried cowpea & cucumber, and a pork ribs seaweed soup.
Mrs. Cai came over while Lin Qing He was cooking.
She brought a basket of beans over to sort. She planned to do it as she increased her friendship with Lin Qing He. Even until now, Mrs. Cai wanted to get her third granddaughter matched with Da Wa. She hadn't given up.
If Da Wa can't do, Er Wa was possible.
Lin Qing He didn’t talk much. As she worked, they chatted about the external situation. As for Mrs. Cai’s question about her Da Wa, Lin Qing He told the truth. That kid didn’t want to come back. He was already that big, so she let him live on his own outside.
After Mrs. Cai returned, Eldest Sister and Second Sister also made time to come over. Each brought a basket of eggs.
"It's enough that Eldest Sister and Second Sister can come back. You didn't have to bring so many eggs. Mother raises so many chickens in the backyard. We can't finish the eggs here. Both of you take them back later." Lin Qing He said.
She knew how rare the eggs were at this time. To bring so many eggs, they obviously saved a lot.
They got to be reluctant to eat at home and had brought them over.
Still, Eldest Sister and Second Sister were too polite. They spent more than an hour with her before going back. They left the eggs behind when they returned.
Lin Qing He couldn't do anything. She found a time to cycle over in the evening and send the eggs back.
On top of that, gave a rib to each family.
Both families didn't have it easy. How could she accept so many eggs from them? Her conscience would be unsettled if she consumed them. More importantly, gratitude debt would be large.
So she just accepted the thought and gave each family another rib. As for the rest, forget it.
In the evening, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went out for a swim.
"Go swim. I'll watch you." Lin Qing He said to Zhou Qing Bai.
Zhou Qing Bai smiled and said, "I will lead you out."
Lin Qing He looked at her man and kissed him twice. Zhou Qing Bai's heart thumped and jumped on her.
When the couple finished kissing, Lin Qing He looked down at Zhou Qing Bai's pants and chuckled. Zhou Qing Bai coughed dryly and then took his wife out to swim.
Zhou Qing Bai was naturally excellent in the water. It was completely fine to carry Lin Qing He. Lin Qing He came back after a while.
Zhou Qing Bai went swimming by himself.
After the swim, the couple went home. Because it was night and there was no one, Lin Qing He held Zhou Qing Bai's hand.
The couple reached home, changed clothes, washed them, and then went back to the room to sleep.
They missed each other dearly last night and hadn't had the chance to talk. Just jumped into action. Naturally, the couple will have a good chat tonight.
"Are you accustomed to there?" Zhou Qing Bai said while hugging his wife.
"Accustomed. Every day is the same. The beginning was different from the time when I came back." Lin Qing He answered.
"You came back skinnier." Zhou Qing Bai stated.
"When did you learn to say this." Lin Qing He smiled, kissed his chin, and said.
"I miss you." Zhou Qing Bai looked at his wife and said.
Since coming back, he kept thinking about it. When he was a soldier, he really didn't miss home. He even felt more relaxed not being at home.
But since he was discharged from the army, he had always been with his wife. And had always been taken care of by his wife.
So he wasn't used to it.
Even less accustomed to his mother's cooking. He had gotten used to eating his wife's cooking, Then going back to his mother's cooking, it was almost the same as eating grass.
Of course, he wouldn't say such things. San Wa said it.
The food was secondary. The most important thing was sleeping every night. He sleeps by himself.
Countless nights, he dreamed of his wife. He especially wanted to take time off to visit her.
But it took so many days to come and go. Took up too much time.
"I miss you too. So I returned right away, once I got a vacation break. Everyone else stayed on campus to study." Lin Qing He said.
It was Zhou Qing Bai's own wife. She changed a lot this time when she came back. Just like the girls in the city he saw.
But he can feel that his wife loves him, even when he was a countryman.
Zhou Qing Bai turned over and got on top of his wife's body.
"Work is very exhausting. How about leaving it?" Lin Qing He's body instantly half-softened and called out softly.
Telling Zhou Qing Bai to leave it with this appearance? It was better to say that Zhou Qing Bai's soul was hooked. Zhou Qing Bai lost control under his wife's spell.
So they were busy for two more times and then stopped.
"Qing Bai, don't contract so much land this year. We will move to the capital in the future. I can't accept us living separately like this." Lin Qing He lolled in Zhou Qing Bai's embrace and said.
It wasn't just Zhou Qing Bai missing her? When she was at Bei University, she missed him too. She made herself busy, so there was no time to think about it.
"I know." Zhou Qing Bai answered.
He also couldn't accept it. It really wears one down. He wasn't a sentimental person, but he just couldn't bear to part with his wife.
If it was still like this in the future, even he won't be able to accept it.
Early the next morning, the milkman delivered the milk.
Lin Qing He asked for two extra bottles. Both were for Zhou Qing Bai. After they were cooked, they were served with mantou. Scrambled eggs with cucumber could be eaten with it. Not a problem at all.
This time, she got to feed him until a sturdy condition.
As for Mother Zhou, she was accustomed to being thrifty. Can't be relied on.
"Now mother is back, a moist smile appeared on Father's face." Er Wa said when he was preparing to head to supplementary after having breakfast.
"You talk too most." Lin Qing He gave him an eye roll.
"Second Brother is right, Mother. When are bunched together, we aren't as important as Father in your heart." San Wa also sighed.
When Zhou Qing Bai carried a hoe and went out with Father Zhou, his eyes were full of smiles.
He enjoyed his son's complaint!
