Chapter 272 That generation
Chapter 272. That generation
Mother Zhou's expression was cheery.
In the middle of the night, she told Father Zhou about this.
"From Fourth's wife's meaning, I think she'll bring us over to the capital in the future." Mother Zhou whispered.
Her voice was immersed in joy.
Father Zhou was silent for a moment when he heard these words: "What are we going to do in the capital? Us two can just stay here at home. If they go out in the future, we will watch the house."
"That's the capital. Don't you want to go there and take a look? There are the Heavenly Palace Gate and The Plaza." Mother Zhou uttered.
Father Zhou wanted to. How could he not? Such places are simply symbols of ordinary people like them.
"Everything costs money when going everywhere outside. It won't be stable when they just move over. We'll stay at home. Once they develop well in the future, we'll see if we go out and see then." Father Zhou stated.
"Fourth's wife will definitely stay at the school in the future. Don't know if she can arrange a gatekeeper job for Qing Bai. Like this, the couple can also be together." Mother Zhou pondered.
"You can really think." Father Zhou disgruntedly responded.
"What? You find it embarrassing?" Mother Zhou knew what he meant when she heard this and outright responded.
A job was rare at this time. There was nothing to feel ashamed about. But from the old man's reaction, it was clearly disgust.
"It's not that it's shameful to guard the gate. Da Wa and his mother are both studying in school and you want Qing Bai to guard the gate?" Father Zhou said.
"What about it? Then do you want Qing Bai to sit and eat idle meals? Qing Bai can't stand that." Mother Zhou knew her youngest son.
"Don't worry about that. They must have their own plans. Let's not make trouble for them and just stay at home." Father Zhou urged.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were also sleeping at their end.
Zhou Qing Bai wasn't behaving. However, he restrained by Lin Qing He and obediently went to sleep. No doing anything.
The next morning, only Mother Zhou and Lin Qing He was left at home. Mother Zhou came over and brought up this matter.
"Da Wa's mother, if you go to the capital in the future, Qing Bai won't have anything to do. Don't know if it's possible to let him guard the gate then? Does the school want someone like him?" Mother Zhou asked.
Lin Qing He paused a moment. Then she was dumbfounded. Did her mother-in-law want her Qing Bai to go be a security guard at Bei University?
"Da Wa's mother, what do you think?" Mother Zhou continued on.
She contemplated all night last night. She thought it was great and dismissed the old man's words.
Her youngest son got the skills and can protect the school. It won't hurt to let her old son guard the gate.
"Mother, you are willing. But I can't bear to let my Qing Bai guard the gate." Lin Qing He laughed and answered.
"But... But if he doesn't do this, then what can he do? Jobs in the capital are hard to find, no?" Mother Zhou didn't expect her to disagree.
"Mother, you can reassure. I have discussed it with Qing Bai. We have our plans. When we settled down there, we will pick you and Father up. Don't worry about this." Lin Qing He comforted.
The elderly were thinking the best for the couple, so it was understandable.
When she heard this, Mother Zhou nodded and said, "Alright then. Mother won't go on. As long as you know what you are doing."
Lin Qing He continued studying.
Time flew by and it was the day when Lin Qing He got to depart.
Zhou Qing Bai escorted her to the county city. The couple said goodbye to each other.
"Graduation is next year. It'll be soon." Lin Qing He said.
"En. Once you're there, don't exhaust yourself." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her as he spoke.
"I know. Same for you at home. Take care of your own body. You aren‘t allowed to reduce the amount of milk ordered every day. You have to drink it all, understood?" Lin Qing He instructed.
The family currently ordered four bottles of milk every day. It was distributed within the whole family. That way, nutrition intake increased.
"En." Zhou Qing Bai acknowledged.
Don't know when, but he had begun to consciously take care of his body.
Before, he basically didn't care about these. Now, he wanted a healthy body to accompany her and continue to protect her.
He didn't voice these words out. He also won't say these words out loud. He'll just silently take action.
Lin Qing He hopped on the bus. Zhou Qing Bai stood for a long time. Afterward, he cycled over to Zhou Xiao Mei's place. He brought Zhou Xiao Mei a few jins of soybeans, as well as rations for the Er Wa. He left five yuan pocket money for Er Wa.
Then Zhou Qing Bai went home.
There was nothing to say to the sons. Only need to raise them up. The only one that was actually placed in his heart was his wife.
Lin Qing He didn't have strong feelings about parting. She read books all the way back.
When she got off the train, she saw her eldest son.
"I knew Mother will return on this train." Zhou Kai grinned and took the baggage from his mother.
Lin Qing He smiled and said, "How long have you been waiting here?"
"Not long." Zhou Kai said: "Mother, are you hungry? We'll have a meal first before going back."
"Okay." Lin Qing He followed him and mentioned Han Xujie: "He's over in Shenyang now. Er Wa and I bumped into him. He said when you're free, go find him."
"I'll see if can find some spare time this winter vacation and find him." Zhou Kai replied.
"He'll go back home during the winter vacation." Lin Qing He said, "Your grandparents miss you. Will you go back this year?"
"Not going back. I want to go with my classmate to his brother's camp to learn more." Zhou Kai frowned.
Lin Qing He let him do as he liked. As long as he didn't go beyond the standard, he can go wild.
After eating, Zhou Kai reached out his hand for money to pay the bill. Lin Qing He gave him 20 yuan: "Be more frugal. It's not easy for your father to make some money!"
"I know." Zhou Kai nodded: "Mother, it's not difficult for you to make money."
"Stinky brat." Lin Qing He scolded in amusement. The boy believed that she hadn't been reselling. There was no evidence, so she didn't bother with him.
Once Lin Qing He reached the campus, Wang Li took her to the bathhouse to take a shower.
"I came back yesterday. I'm surprised that you came back a little bit later than me. Still, you're back exactly on time." Wang Li said.
Lin Qing He was still a little uncomfortable with the bathhouse. However, it was refreshing to wash up. She said: "Whether it's coming early or coming late, it's the same. This year, there are a lot of new students."
"It is quite a number." Wang Li nodded and talked about redress while taking a bath.
"My man did an act of kindness before. A municipal city leader was sent to our place for reform. My man took care of him. At this moment, redress is happening." Wang Li said.
Lin Qing He knew that the redress had already begun, and said: "A good man will get rewarded and he will be declared innocent in the end if he was wronged."
Wang Li whispered: "What's the use of innocence? His family had been broken up. I heard that his wife divorced and took the child back then. Don't know whether she had remarried.
Lin Qing He said: "It's better than continuing to suffer."
As for the rest, she didn't know what to say. She hadn't experienced it, so she was ineligible to make comments. After all, that generation was really suffering.
