Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

"It'll be a long while." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Lin Qing He chuckled: "Be good. I will graduate next summer."

"Next summer?" Zhou Qing Bai was stunned: "I've calculated it for you. You won't be able to graduate until the summer of 1981."

He had counted it countless times.

"I plan to finish my studies in advance. As long as my grades are okay, the school won't have any objections." Lin Qing He replied.

Although rehabilitation was made and many teachers had returned to their posts one after another, the school still lacked teachers.

If she can end her studies early, why won't the school agree?

"Too much hardship." Zhou Qing Bai remarked with remorse.

"What hardship is there?" Lin Qing He didn't mind. After all, she started to study long ago. It wasn't for nothing.

As for not intending to let Zhou Qing Bai sell electrical appliances so soon. There was no choice because in the early 1980s, TV and radio weren't allowed to privately circulated.

However, this didn't affect the operation of the black market.

She had already planned it out. When Zhou Qing Bai comes to the capital, she would get him to open a stationery store and muddle by. But in truth, when she was free, he would go to the south with her.

At this moment, it had already begun on the southern side. I won't be too late next year.

They'll bring a space full of goods back. All luxury goods. As long as they sell a TV or something, they can cover their expenses for a while.

Not to mention that all the luxury goods were rare now, they were very popular.

Lin Qing He hadn't planned to tell Zhou QingBai about these plans. When the time comes, Zhou Qing Bai would naturally know.

The news of graduating next summer can be told to Zhou Qing Bai in advance.

Zhou Qing Bai was certainly delighted. He hadn't considered graduating in advance.

"By the way, Father doesn't plan to go to work this year." Zhou Qing Bai recalled and told to his wife.

"Father is that old already. No need to work in the field. Our family doesn't lack that work point. It's great that he won't work. Foster his health more." Lin Qing He said.

What need was there to work in the field at Father Zhou's large age?

"Mother said since he's not heading to the field, they will raise a few more ducks at home. She'll get Father to herd the ducks then." Zhou Qing Bai said.

"That's works. When one is idle, they're afraid of being bored." Lin Qing He responded, "I plan to go to Hai City this year. I will buy a radio for our home at that time."

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

"Why hasn't there been any news about electricity installation in our village? I heard from my dorm mate that their side got it already." Lin Qing He wondered.

According to what Wang Li said, Wang Li's house already got connected to electricity.

"I'll see if there is any news this year." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

"If electricity is set up, I will buy a TV for our home." Lin Qing He continued.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled, he didn't have any objection to her decision.

He knew that the TV set will be bought for his parents to watch to prevent the elderly from being bored.

It was pretty late when they got home.

Mother Zhou came over to check that the family had come back and gone back to rest.

The family boiled water and washed their faces and feet. Lin Qing He took another bath before going to bed.

In this cold weather, it was probably only Lin Qing He in the village who would take a bath.

After the third, Wu Ni and Zhou Yang came over again.

Lin Qing He was going to leave with Da Wa on the sixth, so she could only teach them for two days. Therefore, Lin Qing He got them to come over in the afternoon too and tutor for another hour.

Soon, the sixth arrived.

Early that day, Zhou Qing Bai sent the two of them over to the city to catch the bus.

A bus ride from the county city to the municipal city, then take the train from the municipal city.

"I will find the time to visit you today this year." Zhou Qing Bai said to his wife.

"Alright." Lin Qing He smilingly responded.

Then she led her eldest son onto the bus. She also waved to her man.

Zhou Qing Bai waited for the bus to drive into the distance before visiting his comrade-in-arms. His comrade-in-arms asked him why he had time to come over and not accompanying his wife instead. It was her rare trip back.

Zhou Qing Bai said that he had just sent the mother and son away.

The comrade-in-arms comforted: "Sister-in-law is capable. She will definitely be able to stay as an instructor. She is married. If she stays in school, she can apply for accommodation. Then your family can move there."

With a job and a house, they can move their household registration.

It wasn't easy to move a household registration in this era. If the conditions were met, it wasn't too difficult.

Speaking of this, this comrade-in-arms, who was a chief, envied Zhou Qing Bai.

This lad's wife and son got the ability. Two college students! Also, Bei University. How can they not be envious?

"There may be a lot of people returning to the city this year. By that time, where these people go will be a problem. I guess that security will be a problem in the future." Zhou Qing Bai told his comrade-in-arms.

Of course, his wife said this.

However, Zhou Qing Bai wouldn't say that directly.

His comrade-in-arms knew without asking. He estimated that his wife received the news in the capital first. He nodded and said, "I'll keep in mind."

Seeing that he understood, Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. He got up and went home.

At home, he didn't have much energy. He hadn't started to work yet. This year's spring plowing won't start until the end of January.

Mother Zhou was already planning to hatch the chicks.

This year, the old man won’t go to work anymore. When the time comes, she will catch a few ducks and raise them. The old duck soup made by Fourth's wife was exceptional.

At the end of this year, their family will have ducks to eat.

But for such a big family, just having a few more ducks wasn't enough. Need a few more chickens.
