Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 263 Zhou Qing Bai came to visit

Chapter 263: Zhou Qing Bai came to visit

There was no more free time now.

The days at school were indeed very busy. This year, her hometown had changed greatly.

First of all, educated youths returned to the city. Many educated youths had gone back. Some have returned through their own channels, while others had yet to return. They temporarily stayed behind but it was obvious that they will not stay for too long.

Because of the current circ.u.mstance, they sensed it was only a matter of time before going back.

People in the village were ill at ease. Still, the overall productivity wasn't affected.

The biggest change in the village was that the number of chickens being raised was doubled.

In the evening, he herded the ducks back.

They were currently only a half matured duck and still can't lay eggs. When they grow up, he'll have to pay attention to prevent them from laying the duck eggs outside.

Originally, they planned to raise only four-five, but Father Zhou felt it was too few and not worth the effort. So he straightforwardly took on seven-eight.

It didn't cost the family any supply to feed them. Just drive them out and let them feed on small fish and shrimps in the river. If they have to cut you the tail, then cut it.

In addition, Zhou Qing Bai didn't object. So, he ended up raising so many ducks.

There were also a lot of chickens in the backyard.

It was the same for everyone else in the village. No one can criticize another.

As for those with ill-intent who went to report it, n.o.body bothered with it. After all, Zhoujia Village wasn't the only place that did this.

Since the Gang of Four collapsed, it wasn't the same as before.

When Zhou Qing Bai came back from the field, Er Wa and San Wa just finished cooking and said, "Father, the bacon and sausage left by my mother are all finished. From today on, we have to tighten our belts to live."

Before their mother left, she made a lot of bacon. It can last long. They were prudent when using it. That's why it was used recently.

Zhou Qing Bai said, "Tomorrow there will be meat."

He had already ordered with Sister Mei and will pick it up in the early hours of this evening.

So they made-do today.

A scrambled egg, a cabbage, and mantou. That was it. It was still pretty good.

Of course, when compared to the time when their mother was home, it was far from it.

Mother Zhou portioned out Father Zhou's share first and then she ate first with her son and grandsons. It wasn't too late to deliver it after eating.

"Father, when are you going to see Mother?" San Wa asked at the dinner table.

"Are you free these days?" Mother Zhou turned to look at her son.

"Not free." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

He did want to go to see his wife, but the spring plowing season was a busy period. It took up so many days to travel over and back. He definitely can't go.

But if it rains, he can make a trip.

After all, it sometimes rains for seven or eight days. Perfect to go back and forth.

Zhou Qing Bai looked forward to rain now. Well, what do you, his desire was answered. At the end of May, the weather started to become cloudy.

At this time, the crops in the field were growing strong. It can withstand such rain. Zhou Qing Bai looked at the sky and came over to find the leader.

He mentioned his request for a leave.

The leader was very understanding. His wife was in a place like the capital. Why wouldn't he visit now?

Especially when Qing Bai's wife might be popular since she was so pretty and literate.

The leader said, "Why don't you leave tomorrow? Go early and come back early. The summer harvest is due at the end of the month."

"Okay." There was no reason for Zhou Qing Bai to disagree.

He rode the bicycle to find Sister Mei. In the early morning, he will come again to buy some pork.

In the middle of that night, Zhou Qing Bai came over and bought a few jins of pork belly, two jins of fatty meat, and pork ribs for his sons and his parents. Then he set off early in the morning with a letter of introduction.

When he just hopped on the train, it happened to rain heavily in the city.

He looked at the clouds where the village should be located. Seems like it'll rain heavily in the village soon.

The rain in the village was indeed heavy. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou stayed at home with no intention of going out.

Neither Er Wa and San Wa need to go to school.

"Since Father went out that early, he won't." San Wa nodded with certainty.

"Father bought so much pork back. What shall we eat at noon?" Er Wa asked.

"Stir-fry pork belly and some cabbage," San Wa responded.

The two brothers didn't need their grandparents to take action and went to the kitchen to busy away. First, the lard was heated. Then the salted diced pork belly was cooked in oil until it was crispy.

Once done, the cabbage was stirfried without adding oil. The end result was very delicious.

This was what their mother taught.

In addition, a pork rib and seaweed soup was cooked. Even when their father wasn't home and only them and their grandparents left, meals can't be made casually.

Moreover, these meats had a short shelf life. It went without saying, it had to be eaten quickly.

There was nothing to worry about at home. The two boys were very clever and can take care of their grandparents instead.

Zhou Qing Bai arrived in the capital after a few days of traveling.

Lin Qing He never thought that he would come. Although she missed him for a while, Lin Qing He was still stunned when she came out after receiving the security guard's notification and saw Zhou Qing Bai being there in person.

Then she flew over. Because there were other people coming and going in the surrounding, she didn't hug him. After all, in this special era, it wasn't too good to display affection.

"Why did you come? There was no news at all." Lin Qing He stared at her man and said.

"It's raining at home, so I asked the leader for a break." Zhou Qing Bai looked at his glowing wife and answered.

Although the journey was time-consuming and not easy, Zhou Qing Bai felt that everything was worth it for this moment.

"Wait a bit." Lin Qing He was still holding the book in her hand and said to him. She placed the book back in the dormitory and went to ask her tutor for a day-off. Then she immediately came out.

First, she brought Zhou Qing Bai over to the state-owned restaurant to eat a hearty meal. Then she led him to the guest house.

She got him to take a shower. He didn't bring any clothes. He only had a little money, coupons, and a letter of introduction.

However, Lin Qing He had his clothes in the s.p.a.ce. She got someone to make it from the fabrics from the capital. Once it was completed, she put them away after washing them and drying them.

Initially, she was thinking of taking it back to him during the summer vacation. Unexpectedly, he was here.

Zhou Qing Bai took a shower. Lin Qing He felt itchy. She coughed dryly, and said, "Put your clothes on. I'll wash up too."

When she came out of the shower, she found Zhou Qing Bai was still undressed and waiting for her.
