Chapter 357 Luxury
Chapter 357. Luxury
When Mother Zhou went to bed at night, she chattered with Father Zhou.
"Next door's old Zhu's daughter-in-law is really a bit outrageous. Old Madam Zhu and her husband are already at this age and she didn't care about them." Mother Zhou said: "There is also old Hu Family. They gave birth to four sisters. They only got one son and he married a wife that wasn't filial to Hu old couple."
How could Father Zhou not know what his wife meant, so he satisfied her itch: "Not everyone can have a life like you."
Mother Zhou broke into a grin: "Why do you say that?"
Obviously waiting for her spouse to praise her.
Father Zhou knew his wife well, so he said: "We have worked hard for a lifetime. Despite how hard it was before, we all overcame it. From now on, let’s live a good life here. Let alone those in our hometown, even the local elderlies may not have a life better than us."
"Speaking of which, I kind of want to go back with Sheng Mei and Hu Zi." Mother
Zhou merrily stated.
Why go back?
Naturally, to wear new stuff from top to toe, from the inside to the outside. If she went back like this, how much face would she gain? It'll make all the village's young and old madams envy to death
"Why don't you go back? Hu Zi and Sheng Mei are going to catch the ride tomorrow." Father Zhou responded.
"The journey is too much." Mother Zhou shook her head.
The journey to the capital made a deep impression on her. It was a toil on her. She couldn't stand up at all.
So even if I want to go back, he flinches, but when he thinks of the road along the way, he shrinks.
"It's okay if you don't go back. Er Wa said that during the New Year, we will take pictures together. When the times come, take few more pictures." Father Zhou said.
"Alright." Mother Zhou was delighted and then said: "Da Wa's mother is working hard over there. It's a cold day and she has to go to class."
"Qing Bai will take more care. It's enough that we aren't making trouble. Let's sleep." Father Zhou said.
Mother Zhou didn't say anything, nodded, and went to bed.
At this moment, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai hadn't fallen asleep yet. Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mi were going back. She prepared some stuff for them.
It was the usual. One roast duck per family. Also, two packets of candies.
First Sister, Second Sister, as well as the three brothers from the old Zhou family, and Third Brother Lin from her side all got a share. They can get Zhou Yang to send it over. There was no major problem.
There wasn't a lot of possession, because the clothes can be worn directly on the body. Although it was a bit heavy, it kept the cold out.
Carry two more bags and these things and they'll go back.
Everything was packed. Zhou Xuan, who was on vacation, was ordered to send them off the next day.
Lin Qing He hadn't woken up yet. She was also on winter vacation. It was a rare chance to sleep in, so why not.
On the day the two went back, Lin Qing He started gathering the New Year's food.
After getting Second and Third to join her, the mother and sons went shopping.
"I wonder if your eldest brother will come back this year." Lin Qing He couldn't help but say when buying dried golden pomfret, "This golden pomfret is your eldest brother's favorite."
Zhou Gui Lai said, "Mom, we like to eat it too."
"Don't you have it all year round?" Lin Qing He disgruntled responded.
"My eldest brother is just going to the military school. Not becoming an ascetic monk. It's not as bad as you said it is, Mom. I heard that the food there is excellent." Zhou Gui Lai said.
Zhou Xuan comforted: "Don't worry, Mom. The food is excellent."
After all, they have to train every day. The physical energy consumption was huge. The food will naturally be great.
However, in such a place, they will just gobble it all up, no matter whether the food was good or not.
Lin Qinghe bought ten dried golden pomfret. Then she brought them over to buy eggs.
Now the private sector had started, there were chickens and eggs being sold. Everything was easily available. After entering December, Lin Qing He had made some homemade bacon and hung it.
Zhou Qing Bai had frozen pork and lamb chops over at his side. Like a lot.
So not a lot needed to be bought.
Lin Qing He and her two sons carried three chickens, a basket of eggs, and more than ten one jin dried fish over to the dumpling shop.
Zhou Qing Bai was in the middle of making dumplings and said, "These are enough for the New Year."
"I don't know if Eldest will come back. Got to get two more chickens." Lin Qing He said.
"When Mom went to the market, all she thinks of is Eldest Brother when she sees something." Zhou Gui Lai mentioned, "Dad, I think we are going to fall out of favor."
"You are the only one who fell out of favor." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
Zhou Gui Lai replied: "Why do you say that? I am the youngest in our family."
"After the new year, you're fourteen. There is no preferential treatment." Zhou Xuan waved his hand.
The family chattered and laughed. They were especially content. Lin Qing He was content too. Quietly, she raised her three sons so well, right?
"Take your grandparents around this year. Take a few more photos when that time comes." Lin Qing He said.
"Grandfather and Grandmother even told me to take them to the Great Wall next year. Can we go?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.
"Yes. Let's see if we are free at that time, If we are, let's go together." Lin Qing He nodded.
"Mom, the camera you promised me hasn't appeared yet. If we bought it earlier, we can use it this year." Zhou Gui Lai spoke.
He was currently longing for a camera.
"Next year." Lin Qing He waved her hand.
Zhou Qing Bai brought: "I saw in the newspaper that there are refrigerators imported from Russia. Costing more than 700 yuan."
Lin Qing He was surprised: "It's available?"
"Yes." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. He often read the newspaper so he knew: "It's not very expensive."
Lin Qing He understood what he meant, and said, "Then let's take a look next year. If there is one, buy one?"
"I wonder if there is a washing machine. If there is, let's buy one." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
"Alright." Lin Qing He nodded in response.
"Want to buy so many things? Does our family have enough money?" Zhou Gui Lai's expression immediately teared up. He felt that his camera might be pushed back again.
This was a refrigerator and a washing machine. How much would they cost? These were all luxury items.
"Enough," Lin Qing He responded casually.
"If it's not enough, then forget about my camera. Buy a refrigerator and washing machine." Although Zhou Gui Lai was reluctant, he still endured the pain and said.
Refrigerators need to be used to store meat in summer. The dumpling shop required a refrigerator. If not, it'll be very inconvenient.
And the washing machine. Need it to wash clothes, especially in summer. One has to use it every day. However, the camera was optional.
"Seeing how filial you are, I'll get your dad to work hard to earn money next year and try to buy one for you," Lin Qinghe said.
"Then wait until you make money next year." Zhou Gui Lai said.
