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

Chapter 495 Holding hands



When Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai got home, it was getting late. They were also ready to go to bed.

After all, tomorrow was New Year's Day. Many people will come to pay a New Year's greeting.

Today cannot be counted as next year. But after today, it will be regarded as the New Year of 1984.

In 1984, she didn't intend to raise wages. All employees under her won't receive any increase, because the wage level wasn't very low. In addition, in 1985, it was the national wage reform. Lin Qing He planned to increase with them at that time.

Zhou Qing Bai checked all the accounts for this year a few days ago. Now he was very idle.

The two didn't sleep straightaway. They thought about the future together and then they felt sleepy. Zhou Qing Bai didn't forget to put his hand on his wife's belly and stroked it.

He was looking forward to the new year's arrival and his little girl following it.

If there is a good location next year, he will buy a few more at that time. All of which will be reserved for his little girl as a dowry.

Or, staying unmarried is fine too.

It started to snow in the middle of the night outside, but it stopped the next morning.

It also welcomed the first morning of 1984.

Once the family had breakfast, Ma Cheng Min came over with his wife, Huang Xiao Liu, and son, Ma Xiao Dan.

As for Aunt Ma, she was with Uncle Ma. On the fifteenth of December, Zhou Qing Bai had let her off for vacation. The two of them went over to the frontier to see their eldest son's family.

Their eldest son's family settled down in the frontier and couldn't ask for leave. So the old couple went to visit instead.

Lin Qing He had packed a red envelope for Ma Xiao Dan. The family sat here for a while before going to their relative's house.

Ma Cheng Min was a good man, but his wife Huang Xiao Liu was becoming more and more silent now.

Because there are some broken-mouthed women in the community, they will make irresponsible remarks behind them. Saying, Huang Xiao Liu wasn't worthy of Ma Cheng Min. It was due to Ma Cheng Min going to the countryside. If not, can Huang Xiao Liu match to Ma Cheng Min?

Aunt Ma had heard it once. She went straight up and slapped that young wife and dragged her to her home for explanation.

Have to say, this was very fierce. But it was also effective. Still, some words reached Huang Xiao Liu's ears.

Lin Qing He didn't know what to say. In fact, she didn't think it was a problem.

On most days, Uncle Ma got to go out and help pull goods to make some money, Aunt Ma helped in the dumpling shop, Ma Cheng Min was also busy. Ma Xiao Dan had to go to school.

No one managed the home. It was great that Huang Xiao Liu can work away at home.

Judging by the way she was, Lin Qing He can see had the sign of depression. She had to find some time to talk to Ma Cheng Min, so he can open her heart.

Not long after, other employees also came over. The children all hid outside, because they can't stand the crowd.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai entertained them.

There was one wave in the morning and another wave in the afternoon. Only then it was over.

Today, they won't be eating at Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bbai opened the stove at the dumpling shop and got Zhou Gui Lai to call his god-grandfather over. The whole family ate lamb hot pot together.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went to see the movie after eating. They had to buy tickets in advance, or else they couldn't get their hands on them.

Even so, it was still crowded.

Even though, it was New Year's Day, Lin Qing He's beverage shop didn't have a holiday break. It was subsidized with double wages. Cheng Yang, Cheng Yue and Si Ni were in charge there.

Because of the cold weather, the beverage and ice cream business, which was particularly popular in the summer, had dimmed a lot. The beverage shop did add other goods.

Popcorn, melon seeds, and peanuts were basically sold out every day. The business was also very good.

When Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came out, it was almost half past nine.

At this time the shop was already preparing to close.

Si Ni was picked up by Gang Zi and the others ahead of time. Whenever Si Ni goes back, Gang Zi and the others would come to collect her.

Cheng Yang and Cheng Yue were left in the shop. They can go back together, so they don't worry about anything.

Lin Qing He greeted them before leaving with Zhou Qing Bai.

"A lot of shops have been added to this side this year." Lin Qing He looked left and right and remarked.

In the past, the beverage shop was thriving alone. Many other shops had been opened this year, and the business was booming.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced around and said, "Then we'll see if there is still a shop here after the New Year and buy another one?"

"If there is, of course." Lin Qing He agreed.

The profit of the beverage shop was huge, especially now that it was getting prosperous. The profit was increasing every month in the summer.

"Open a cigarette shop." Zhou Qing Bai said.

The cigarette business was very good. He noticed those who set up roadside stalls and their solid business.

Lin Qing He was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he wanted to open a cigarette shop and asked, "Why do you want to open a cigarette shop?"

"Do something different." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Although he didn't smoke, he still felt that cigarette shop's business shouldn't be too bad.

Lin Qing He smiled. Although her family's Qing Bai didn't have that concept, he knew that diversity would make the family's economic income structure more stable.

So she said: "Alright, listen to the head of our family."

The corner of Zhou Qing Bai's mouth raised slightly. He glanced at his wife, and stated, "Leave this to me. You don't need to worry about it."

"Okay." Lin Qing He responded, she would be delighted about not worrying about it.

Zhou Qing Bai looked around. It was pretty late at this time and there was no one. So he took his wife's hand. Lin Qing He looked at him in surprise. Though it was '84 and was reforming, most people dated in private.

It was still quite conservative. Few men and women held hands when they went out together.

With her Qing Bai's temperament, he can take the initiative to hold her hand?

"It's okay. There's no one." Zhou Qing Bai said as he stared at his wife with gentle eyebrows.

Lin Qing He curled her lips and smiled. Then she clasped his fingers and went home with her conservative old man.

She didn't expect to see Zhang Mei He when they went upstairs.

Zhang Mei He was an existence disdained by people and dogs in this area now. She often hooked up with a married man to do business and caused some shrews to tear her apart.

However, she was tough and never wavered at all. Still, her reputation was really bad.

Zhang Mei He saw the husband and wife were actually holding hands. It went without saying how her heart felt. There were many men in the surrounding neighborhoods who wanted to sleep with her, but none of them wanted to marry her home.

While Lin Qing He, that arrogant and overbearing woman, can be doted by such a man!

What was so great about Lin Qing He? She just got a higher degree and knew how to dress up a little, no? But in the end, she was from the countryside?
