Chapter 334. Accounting major
Hearing that Lin Qing He had come back, Zhou Dong brought one over for her to eat.
"Take it back. Your uncle and I have eaten in the city. We won’t open fire tonight. I will take the morning ride tomorrow and go directly to the city to eat. This chicken will take up too much space. Take it back and let it lay eggs for the children to eat." Lin Qing He urged.
"Auntie, our family listened to you this year and have raised a lot." Zhou Dong said.
"Still, it's not necessary. You can take this bag of candies back for my grand-nephew and nieces to eat. Go back quickly. Auntie has to pack my things." Lin Qing He ushered.
Instead of gifting away the chicken, Zhu Dong brought a bag of candies back. Mrs. Cai couldn't help laughing when she heard about it afterwards.
She knew that Lin Qing He was never the greedy, petty and likes taking advantage kind.
Back to Lin Qing He. She heard from Mother Zhou: "This year Zhou Dong has made a lot of money. He enclosed the land behind his backyard and built a chicken farm. There are more than a hundred chickens, and the eggs are laid very frequently. Da Wa's Uncle comes over to collect them every three to five days. Each time he collects a lot of them."
Cai Ba Mei originally planned to raise them after the baby was born, but she couldn't help it. After the New Year, she got Zhou Dong to get the land contracted. Then she asked her brothers to help transport the masonry supplies when it was farming slack period. Then had the surrounding edges walled up.
No one can see how many chickens were raised inside.
She said she had raised more than one hundred chickens. But according to the egg production, Mother Zhou estimated that it might even be two hundred chickens minimum.
What kind of quantity was this?
Cai Ba Mei was a hard worker. She also raised her own pigs.
This year, she was quite capable. She gave birth to another son. With a son and a daughter in front, the current third child, it was two sons and a girl. No one dared to look down upon her.
Besides, Cai Ba Mei got few older brothers on old Cai's side.
Speaking of which, though Cai Ba Mei Cai was honest, she knew how to interact. She would carry a catty or two of eggs back home from time to time, so even if got her brothers to help her out, her sisters-in-law had nothing to say. They were quite merry about it.
It can be said that this year, Zhou Dong's family had was done quite well. Like Lin Qing He said, this year there were indeed some small thefts.
Zhou Dong raised two dogs and his brothers-in-law moved out from the main house not too far. So even if there was some movement this year, nothing happened.
"I heard Ba Mei say, you gave this advice when you visit them last new year?" Mother Zhou spoke.
"I did, but it's up to them to do it or not. Like Eldest Brother and the others. I also suggest that they do business and got the same treatment as my third brother. However, Eldest Brother and the rest has no interest in that." Lin Qing He responded .
"Mother didn't mean that." Mother Zhou said at once.
Lin Qing He ignored her and continued on: "I do wish for our family to be well off. Only when everyone is doing fine, then everything is fine. The advice had been given. It depends on the individual whether they'll do it or not. Like Xiao Mei, she really wants to go to the captial with me. This is my sister-in-law. How can I not take care of her? But if the cows don’t want to drink water, I can’t hold their head down, right Mother?”
Mother Zhou meekly said, "Mother knows. My thoughts went astray in the past."
Lin Qing He wasn't one to be reserved but she was her mother-in-law, so she didn't go on. Instead, she said, "The shop Qing Bai found for Xiao Mei and Da Lin is very good. Selling steamed buns over there will definitely sell. This is my sister-in-law, otherwise, I would want to hire someone to watch the shop and sell breakfast items for me."
"That good?" Mother Zhou uttered at once.
"It is." Lin Qing He nodded.
"Can only sell breakfast items?" Mother Zhou couldn't help but question.
Lin Qing He said: "Steamed buns aren't just for mornings. It can be eaten at noon and evening. The shop can be left for Xiao Mei to watch. Mother, if you have time, go over and help out. Brother-in-law can get a tricycle and cycle around to sell some."
"This...Would this be too embarrassing?" Mother Zhou responded at once.
"At this time, what is there to be embarrassed about? Why is it embarrassing to sell a steamed bun? I am embarrassed to not be able to feed ourselves. The most glorious is that hard-earned money being made by our own hands." Lin Qing He said.
When Mother Zhou heard this, her expression improved. She said, "If it sells well, let Da Lin sell it."
"It won't be easy for Xiao Mei and Brother-in-law when they're there. Mother, you and father should help her out more." Lin Qing He said.
Mother Zhou nodded and replied, "That's for sure."
Reaching this part of the conversation, both Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law had returned from the field and came over when they heard the news.
"Second Sister-in-law not coming?" Lin Qing He said with a smile.
"I didn't come here, I just saw it seems to be cooking." Widow's wife also said.
"These packets of candies for you. One for each family. There's also milk powder. Also one for each family. Bring them back later, Eldest Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law." Lin Qing He took the milk powders and candies out of the bag.
"There's no need for these?" Eldest Sister-in-law hurriedly responded.
"It's already bought. Second branch has a share." Lin Qing He smilingly uttered.
" Is Wu Ni lass accustomed to that side?" Third Sister-in-law brought up.
"I don't know about this. The second day she and Yang Yang came over, Qing Bai and I went to the south. However, you don't have to worry about Wu Ni. She's staying at the dumpling shop with Er Ni and Sheng Mei. I think there won't be any problems." Lin Qing He answered.
"That girl Er Ni. Don't know if she's properly working? If she doesn't work well, just scold her. No need to hold back." Eldest Sister-in-law spoke.
Lin Qing He smiled: "Eldest Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Er Ni. She's so good. She's willing to learn. Often read books. The words she didn't know before, she basically knows now all. Later, I'll consider whether I should arrange for her to go to evening school and let her study an accounting major. This career path will become promising in the future. Eldest Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about Er Ni's future."
Eldest Sister-in-law was delighted to hear this. She quickly said: "Really troubled Qing He."
Lin Qing He said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite to me."
Then she took out Er Ni’s salary. Not only Er Ni’s, but also Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mei’s and said: "This is the few of them's salary. One each. They have nothing to spend on my side. Accommodation and food are taken care of. I brought this money back for you. Find a day and get Eldest Brother to send it to Eldest Sister and Second Sister, Eldest Sister-in-law."
After a few months, each received more than one hundred yuan income. Third Sister-in-law's expression was full of envy: "Er Ni has started to make money for the family."
"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. When Wu Ni goes to college and graduates from college, she will be grateful for your current nurturing for the rest of her life. So no need to be anxious," Lin Qing He said.
