Chapter 172. I'll wait for you at home
"Xiao Mei is going to give birth soon. At that time, you will be busy, Mother. You can manage the meal when the time comes. As for the dishes, wait until I come back to fry them." Lin Qing He said.
She felt a job was important for a married woman.
Just look. Mother Zhou's attitude towards her had changed drastically these days.
She wasn't saying it was bad before, but it just hadn't reached that level yet. Now it really had a feeling of being cherished.
This made Lin Qing He a bit embarrassed and emotional.
It was okay to let Mother Zhou make the meal. But when it comes to making the side dishes, the family will definitely not be used to it.
What's more, Zhou Xiao Mei was pretty far along in her pregnancy now. After giving birth to the child and having her post-natal confinement, the child will be brought back here.
Mother Zhou approximately understood what her daughter-in-law meant, so she nodded and just replied: "Then I will prepare all the vegetables. You can just cook it when you come back."
Lin Qing He agreed.
Once Da Wa and Er Wa came back from foraging pigweed, Zhou Qing Bai and Father Zhou also returned from work.
Lin Qing He went in and cooked the dumplings.
It was currently August. The weather was still very stuffy. In addition to dumplings, Lin Qing He also made mung bean soup.
It was best to drink it when it's around seven o'clock. As it can completely cool off all the heat.
After finishing everything and laid on the Kang, Lin Qing He told Zhou Qing Bai about this matter: "People outside are praising me to heaven. What if I can't teach the students well?"
"Won't happen." Zhou Qing Bai smiled.
"You're that confident in me?" Lin Qing He grinned.
"You did a wonderful job with Da Wa and Er Wa." Zhou Qing Bai replied.
Since she can teach both of their sons so well, how can she do badly with the students? It won't happen.
"Are there still people outside who say that you got such bad luck by marrying me?" Lin Qing He joked with him.
Zhou Qing Bai's eyebrows were gentle: "They all envy me."
That's right. Even his second and third elder brothers, they both envy him.
They used to envy how he was doted by his parents, even though he didn't have anything more than them. Even when he separated out and built this house, it was all from the allowance he earned.
Later, they envied his three sons and his wife's wonderful cooking. Now it was envying her ability to earn this time.
"How are they praising me?" Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows.
Zhou Qing Bai chuckled and pulled his wife into his embrace.
Lin Qing He listened to his heartbeat. It had a calming effect.
Asking this man to say something to make her happy was really putting him on the spot. His strength wasn't this and had never been.
However, he was very devoted to her. He always showed tolerance towards her. Even when she was occasionally overbearing, he would still use his broad heart to give her consideration.
Lin Qing He felt that meeting him might be her fate. It was really hard for her to imagine the life of marrying someone else other than him.
"Qing Bai, if the college entrance examination resumes in the future, I will take the exam. After the college entrance examination, I will go to college to study. I will come back a few times a year." Lin Qing He laid in his arms and said softly.
"I'll wait for you at home." Zhou Qing Bai stated.
Lin Qing He raised her face to look at him: "You know what I mean."
What she meant was that she wanted him to go to college with her, even if he has to rent a house outside.
"There's no source of income outside, and the burden will be heavy." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and pointed out.
For some reason, he had unconditional trust in her words. Although he didn't know how she heard the news that the college entrance examination will be restored, but subconsciously, he believed her words. In the future, maybe, the college entrance examination will be restored.
But he never thought about going with her. If he does, sustaining their livelihood is a big problem.
"What's so heavy about it? We still have so much money and so many coupons. Also, there are subsidies for going to university. It doesn't require a penny. There is nothing to worry about." Lin Qing He responded.
"I'll wait for you at home." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.
Seeing how he was, Lin Qing He didn't persist. She knew her man well. What's more, it's a matter of a few years later. There was no need to discuss it now.
This topic had come to an end.
Third Sister-in-law went into labor a few days into August on the solar calendar. It was delivered overnight.
When Lin Qing He learned about it, she gave a jin of brown sugar to her. In addition, there was also the usual pig trotter. Lin Qing He always kept this habit.
Except for Second Sister-in-law, no matter whether it was Eldest Sister-in-law or Third Sister-in-law who gave birth, they all received this pig's trotter.
Don't know if the two babies had pre-arranged it. Less than two days after Third Sister-in-law gave birth, Zhou Xiao Mei also gave birth.
This second child was also a son.
Altogether, it was two sons, which was pretty amazing.
Su Da Lin was still delighted. As for Zhou Xiao Mei, she was a bit disappointed. She wanted this child to be a daughter.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another son.
When Su Da Lin shopped for post-natal confinement's items, he bought two of each.
Third Sister-in-law received a chicken, a basket of eggs, and two big fish. All were sent over by Su Da Lin.
Have to say, this kind of gift was quite grand. Third Sister-in-law was extremely happy.
And this time, Third Sister-in-law also birthed another son.
With this, it happened to be two sons and two daughters.
With so many things, her post-natal confinement was quite splendid.
Nowadays, it was also a season for catching fish. she got Third Brother to fish on his way back after his busy schedule. He occasionally brought back one or two fish to stew.
After the one-month post-natal confinement, Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin carried their second child, little Su Xun back.
The eldest son was called Su Cheng, and the second son was Su Xun. Got to say, Su Da Lin knew how to choose names.
Another basket of eggs and a chicken were also brought back together. All of these were obtained with the help of Su Da Lin's aunt. If it weren't for her, it would be difficult to get it.
When Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin sent their child back, Lin Qing He wasn't at home. She had officially started lessons at the school.
The last time Su Da Lin came back, he came and went in a hurry. He didn't know that Lin Qing He had already become a teacher in the community's junior high school.
So when the two heard about it, they both displayed a dumbfounded expression.
Especially, Zhou Xiao Mei, she held deep admiration: "My fourth sister-in-law is really amazing. I had said that among my sisters-in-law, no one's brain is as quick as her."
At the start, she was able to have this job was all thanks to her sister-in-law who told her to use the backdoor. If not, it might not have been her turn.
Su Da Lin also admired her.
The two of them never thought about whether Lin Qing He, a teacher who studied pretty late in life, would be able to handle the students of the community's junior high school. Or perhaps even be persuaded to retreat?
But it seems that the minds of this society were the same. As long as anyone can get recognized by the school, they got the ability to teach.
