Chapter 551: His daughter about to come
He had a feeling that his daughter was about to come. He had dreamed about her twice this New Year.
Otherwise, why would he forewarn Father Zhou and Mother Zhou that day?
Lin Qing He didn't want to talk.
Zhou Qing Bai spoke: "It seems that this month's period haven't arrived yet?"
He was more mindful of this than Lin Qing He herself. Tracking it every month. When it was occasionally late by a day or two, he will be on its tail.
Lin Qing He calmly stated: "I was late for two-three days last time."
She neither had cravings nor did she feel sleepy. She was only one day late. How could she be pregnant!
Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. Just touched his wife's belly. He looked forward to his daughter's early arrival.
Now that the family conditions were so good, his little daughter will definitely be able to live a good life when she comes. Of course, the most important thing was that his wife will get older as time go on. He will have to worry about it.
Because she was thirty-nine, she will entry her forty mark next year.
"Join me and exercise more." Zhou Qing Bai earnestly urged.
"Isn't the exercise in bed last night enough?" Lin Qing He replied.
Don't know what was going on with him these past few days. He was very energetic, like a youth.
Zhou Qing Bai coughed dryly and stated, "It's good to exercise more."
"I don't want to move." Lin Qing He lazily uttered. On such cold days, where can they go for exercise? Why not stay at home, watch TV, and eat fruit instead: "Peel me an orange."
Zhou Qing Bai peeled an orange for her to eat. Lin Qing He demolished it and became drowsy.
"What time is this?" Lin Qing He yawned.
"Tired?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.
"Try and mess with me again tonight." Lin Qing He glared at him. Afterward she got up and return to the room to sleep.
Zhou Qing Bai in and hugged his wife to sleep, Lin Qing He let him be.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth of the first lunar month. During the Lantern Festival, the south would eat glutinous balls and the north would eat dumplings.
Zhou Qing Bai gifted a lot. To Old Weng's side, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side. Wang Yuan and Zhou Er Ni came directly over to eat it.
Mother Weng came to look for Lin Qing He at noon.
"Qing He, how's Si Ni reaction?" Mother Weng asked.
Lin Qing He laughed and said, "They only dated for a few days? Don't worry, take it one step at a time."
Mother Weng spoke: "You know that Guo Dong's age. I hope that he will marry a wife sooner. After eating the Lantern Festival dumplings today, he will move out tomorrow to live alone."
"I didn't ask Si Ni. What's Guo Dong's attitude?" Lin Qing He responded.
"Now he diligently finds Si Ni. I heard that he had play chess with your father-in-law." Mother Weng said.
Lin Qing He kept note in her heart and smilingly stated: "I haven't went over for a while, so I don't know about this. Wait for me to go over and ask that girl."
Mother Weng replied: "Then I'll trouble you. I will definitely pack you a big red envelope then."
"Okay, I'll take it." Lin Qing He burst into chuckle and chatted Mother Weng about the shop. As soon as Mother Weng chatted about this, she was full of complaints: "I'm so mad. You don't know. We went over yesterday to rent the shop. The landlord increased it by one yuan. We had already come into agreement before!"
"If the business is good, then no need to care about this yuan. However, the landlord's attitude is bad, casually increasing. If your business is up and running and he come make trouble? How unpleasant would that be?" Lin Qing He remarked.
"That's what I said. I don't want to rent it anymore, but that shop is the best one in the area." Mother Weng said.
Right now, the shop was about to open and the shop had yet to settled.
"There won't be so much matter when you buy it. Anyway, you won't lose money. Wang Yuan had invited two designers from our school to design. The clothes are all pretty." Lin Qing He said.
How many people had been cheated by the landlord in future generations? If the tenants' business was good, they can increase the rent at will. Simply bullying the outsiders and increase all kinds of things. One moment, the water, the next was electricity. Most of them were this kind of deception and wealthy-slaughter.
Therefore, Lin Qing He suggested to buy it directly from the beginning. If they do it well now, they wouldn't suffer any loss.
"I think it should be like that. Just afraid that even if it is bought, it will be more expensive than before. All prices have increased this year." Mother Weng responded.
Prices had indeed risen by a large margin this year. At the end of last year, a jin of pork had risen from one yuan and three to four dime to more than one yuan and seven dimes.
Many people have started to work. After the salary reform in the new year, wages had increased to varying degrees. The wages of ordinary working-class workers range from 60 to 80. Above them was naturally more. It depended on the workplace. Like Weng Guo Dong's salary. This year, it had reached 120. Including subsidies or something, it was more than 130.
Though the wages had risen, the goods' price had risen in the same way. This year's property naturally followed. So further more need not to be said.
"If you want to buy it, do it as soon as possible. Last year, I suggested that you buy it. Maybe it will increase in the future. Forget it if you don't do business. If you do business, you got to buy a shop." Lin Qing He said.
When Mother Weng went back, she went to discuss this matter with Father Weng. Father Weng was helpless. But seeing his wife's firmness, he went over to find the landlord.
The price was 200 yuan more than that at the end of last year. Father Weng had always been a good-tempered man, but this made his expression ugly.
Two hundred yuan wasn't a small amount of money. About one month or so of his salary. It was only so long and it became this much?
However Mother Weng wanted this shop. Although Father Weng was unhappy, the deal was finally made. It was transferred on the same day.
Lin Qing He didn't get involve in this. Mother Zhou killed a chicken. She left one to stew in soup at their side and got Zhou Si Ni to bring the other half over here.
Lin Qing He got Zhou Qing Bai to stew it. Then she asked about Zhou Si Ni and Weng Guo Ddong.
"Just dating." Zhou Si Ni said. Once that young master thinks she isn't good, then he won't come again.
Lin Qing He took a look at this niece. Why did she feel that she didn't put her heart into it? She didn't intend to say more. If they have the fate, they can be together. If they don't, what's the point of forcing it.
Zhou Si Ni didn't stay too long. Minding the twins still needed her help. She planned to help take care of them until March in spring. When that time comes, she will come to work. The children will be handed over to her sister.
Zhou Qing Bai stewed chicken soup and then gave his wife a bowl of dumplings with chicken soup.
Lin Qing He didn't felt something wasn't right after eating dumplings. It felt too greasy. She uttered, "Chicken soup and mutton dumplings. I can't eat it down."
"I scrape off the oil." Zhou Qing Bai said.
Lin Qing He ate a bowl and then stopped eating. She hurriedly grabbed an orange to cleanse her palate. She didn't think too much.
But when she went to bed at night, she remembered with hindsight. Why hadn't this month's period come yet?
