Chapter 650: Call
Because Zhou Qing Bai said observe, Lin Qing He, who was originally hadn’t paid attention, watched along.
Ah Die’s appearance was very ordinary. It can even be said to be average. It can only be said that she wasn’t ugly. But this girl was indeed a hardworking and pragmatic.
What’s more, her needlework was excellent. She probably learned her cooking skills from her mom. It was also top-notch.
Of course, the most important thing was Ah Die’s character.
This was indeed a very sensible girl. She never tried to flatter herself and will do her own work diligently. She looked after the garden and trim the branches and leaves during her leftover time.
And because of arrival, the furniture at home had a hard time collecting dust. Even in at the corner and cracks.
Looking at it this way, this girl was decent.
Because Zhou Qing Bai also had this intention of matching Ah Die to Gang Zi, Lin Qing He was naturally going to test Auntie Zhao’s water.
After all, she knew that Ah Die hadn’t married yet. But she didn’t know whether Ah Die had sought someone.
“Young Die is a big girl. She’s not young this year. Auntie Zhao, did you find someone for her?” Lin Qing He smilingly brought up.
The nanny, Auntie Zhao jollily replied, “She is not young anymore. It’s just, this lass wants to delay it for two years and marry when the family’s conditions are better.”
“Now our house got the two of you, it shouldn’t be that bad?” Lin Qing He said with a smile.
Lin Qing He had never asked much about Auntie Zhao’s family. It was a rare chance to ask today. Auntie Zhao had nothing to hide and told, “There are two younger brothers under her. Both of them are in high school.”
Ah Die was in the middle. As for the siblings above her, they all married and couldn’t help the family.
Auntie Zhao’s husband had passed away few years back. At that time, the conditions in the family were particularly difficult. It was Ah Die who went to earned some money through helping people deliver coal in the winter. If not, they wouldn’t be able to survive that winter.
Since accepting Lin Qing He’s employment as a nanny, the conditions at home had improved a lot. Although Ah Die was unemployed, she would still deliver coal before she came here.
She earned very little. It more or less some supplement.
Still, it can’t compare to working here. The salary was really high.
“The conditions at home wasn’t great before. Some people have come to talk about it. However, she herself wasn’t willing.” Auntie Zhao replied.
In fact, she held some selfishness, because if her daughter is married, she will be under more pressure on her own. Her original plan was to wait until her two youngest sons enter college and have their own subsidies before letting her daughter marry out. They were in second year of high school. Still a year to go. It won’t be too late.
“Now that you have this job, it’s more lighter.” Lin Qing He smiled.
“It is.” Auntie Zhao said.
Lin Qing He didn’t continue to chat about it. This matter can be discussed again later. Gang Zi wasn’t in a rush to leave at this time.
Lin Qing He had a lot of confidence in Gang Zi’s marriage matter. The size of the young man was 1.78 meters. Definitely not short.
Most importantly, the young man was very responsible and motivated. After listening to what she said about commercial housing, wasn’t he working harder?
Because this year’s business had been very good, he had worked harder than last year. Lin Qing He asked him how much he made last month. He jollily answered that he made fifteen hundred.
In this era when a salary of 200 yuan was rare, he can get fifteen hundred a month. What kind of level was this?
The key point was that he didn’t smoke or drink. Just wholeheartedly saved for buying a house.
Actually, Lin Qing He wanted to encourage him to do business, but decided to drop the thought. Unless it was a really big business, in ordinary people’s mind, it was better to save money in and fight for the future commercial housing when it comes out. It was important to buy a property.
If one have extra money, buy another one. For ordinary people, wouldn’t it be better than doing business?
Lin Qing He called Eldest Sister-in-law that day. Counting the time, she haven’t called for a good while now.
Eldest Sister-in-law came to answer after a long while. She merrily spoke: “I was too occupied that I have forgotten all this time and haven’t called you.”
“What have you been up to, Eldest Sister-in-law?” Lin Qing He smilingly said.
“Recently, those ducks have begun to lay eggs. They always like to lay it outside. Chong Zi and I have to look for duck eggs every day. They are often missed by your eldest brother.” Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.
Chong Zi was Zhou Da Ni’s husband. Now he raised ducks in partnership with his mother-in-law.
This year the land can be bought and sold. They bought a large piece of land and invested a lot of money in it. Just for raising ducks.
“Then they can lay?” Lin Qing He spoke.
“Yes. The eggs are diligently laid. The ducks raised by others aren’t as fast as ours. It thanks to your eldest brother and Chong Zi. They often catch fish and shrimps to feed them.” Eldest Sister-in-law explained.
“Then this year’s development isn’t bad.” Lin Qing He remarked.
“This year we have raised too much. Third Brother and Da Wa’s maternal third uncle’s shop can’t ake it all. Currently contacting other shops.” Eldest Sister-in-law told.
Her family and her eldest son-in-law’s family partnered up and raised more than 3,000 ducks. Majority were female ducks. Once male ducks grew up, many of them were directly sold. They occupied land and rations.
Lin Qing He grinned and asked about Dong Zi’s chicken farm.
“Dong Zi almost flipped his face with his brother-in-law.” Eldest Sister-in-law replied.
“What do you mean?” Lin Qing He said.
Eldest Sister-in-law recounted the matter. Previously, Dong Zi worked alone and didn’t mix it up. Afterwards he got his three brothers-in-law joining in for some reason. His brothers-in-law called their wives’ brother to join in too. Like this, it got messy.
In the end, Dong Zi made some sacrifice to withdraw. He hired someone to start again. The former one’s management was directly transferred to his brothers-in-law.
“Dong Zi had came to visit and said that he didn’t listen to what you told him. Don’t partner up.” Eldest Sister-in-law sighed.
“Stung once and become wiser. He is a promising lad. He’s still young. It doesn’t hurt to suffer a bit.” Lin Qing He commented.
“That’s right. It’s already getting off ground. He have contracted a hilltop. Won’t do badly in the future.” Eldest Sister-in-law nodded in agreement. Then she recalled and said: “By the way, Third Brother’s house has installed a phone. Your third sister-in-law asked me to tell to you when we talk on the phone. She said you should call her to chat when you’re free.”
“The two can really bear to do it. Our phone was few thousands yuans back then. My flesh bleed.” Lin Qing He merrily said as soon as she heard this.
“The two of them have made a lot of money now. What’s more, the installed phone can be used by others. They collect money for its usage. They won’t lose money.” Eldest Sister-in-law smiled.
“That works. I’ll call Third Sister-in-law. I haven’t talked to her for a long time.” Lin Qing He said.
After taking down the phone number given by Eldest Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He called Third Sister-in-law’s side.
