Chapter 201. Show filial respect

"Why does Mrs. Wang give eggs for your eldest brother to eat out of nowhere?" Lin Qing He had been very busy recently. The autumn harvest had begun. She was busy making good food and stewing various soups, so she didn't know what the villagers discussed.

"It said within the village that Eldest Brother is very likely to get admitted to college. They all hope for Eldest Brother to be their son-in-law." Er Wa replied.

Da Wa came out of the room. His face expressed slight helplessness.

Lin Qing He chuckled and said, "It turned out to be this."

Then she got Er Wa to send it back to Mrs. Wang with 'Thank you for your kindness. However, there are eggs at home. It is the autumn harvest now. Save them for your own family'.

It wasn't just Mrs. Wang. Others also gave it. Lin Qing He refused all of it. If she accepted some and not others, it would offend people. If she didn't take any, it wouldn't happen as the treatment was all the same.

Lin Qing He couldn't help burst into laughter when she told Mother Zhou about this.

Mother Zhou wasn't surprised and said: "Mrs. Cai is the same. Every word she conveyed was asking me what kind of person will Da Wa look for in the future?"

Though Cai Ba Mei was only married this year, Mrs. Cai still had grandchildren from her children in front who were older than Da Wa. Among them, there were girls of the right age.

"Mother, how did you reply?" Lin Qing He said.

"I said you are in charge of Da Wa's affairs. I will not interfere." Mother Zhou replied.

Speaking of this, Mother Zhou had the urge to laugh. Before, she was really worried about the boys getting married. But now it was spread in the village that Da Wa was very likely to get admitted into the university. Da Wa really had a large selection of girls to choose from.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything.

In current people’s minds, the so-called university was actually the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University.

This required recommendations from people. In fact, this value was very average. It wasn't as good as passing the exam.

Still, the power of the two words 'college students' had overwhelming strength. It was a very remarkable phrase.

To get recommended to the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University, one naturally required a clean background. Before, Lin Qing He didn't worry much about whether her reputation for being lazy and gluttonous would affect Da Wa. Let alone, she had whitewashed it very, very successfully.

So if Da Wa had the ability, there will be no problems.

The focus on Da Wa was still active outside. But only a few days ago, the autumn harvest began to get hectic. Everyone didn't have time to care too much.

Two days into the autumn harvest, Zhou Qing Bai, the father, caught another fat rabbit.

This had everyone in envy.

It was no wonder that Zhou Qing Bai can bring down a woman like Teacher Lin. Zhou Qing Bai wasn't an ordinary man.

Not to mention this entire production team, even in the other production teams, there was no such incident like his- being able to catch rabbits every time they harvest.

This year's autumn harvest, even little Su Cheng joined in on pick up wheat ears. Although he ended up a little tired, the little guy was still excited.

Because all the children were there, it was very lively.

When this generation looked back in the future, they would admit their childhood was a bit bitter. Still, that childhood was truly a childhood.

"Rabbit meat, rabbit meat." Little Su Cheng was on cloud nine when heard that his fourth uncle had caught a rabbit.

A little girl said: "Rabbit is so cute, how can you eat it?"

"The rabbit steals food. They even dig into the ground which hinders us from growing food. It's not cute at all. It's delicious when it's braised." Little Su Cheng was still too young and can't answer such a profound question. San Wa took over.

When San Wa responded like this, little Su Cheng bobbed vigorously: "Yes, braise it!"

Even if he was still young, he still vaguely remembered that braised rabbit meat was delicious!

The little girl probably got a little craving when she heard the braised rabbit meat, and whispered: "Can you give me a taste? I haven't tried it before."

"Sure, but I'll only give you one piece. No more." San Wa stated.

"San Wa, you are so nice." The little girl looked at him happily.

San Wa waved his hand and paid it no mind.

This little girl was actually Wang Ling's daughter. She wasn't very welcome in the village, because of her mother's affair. Her father was already looking for someone again. It'll be around this year's off-peak time when a stepmother will enter the household. One can imagine how uneasy her life will get in the future.

However, San Wa's mind was still very innocent. He won't mind a person's background if he can get along with them. If he can't get along, he won't give a second look, no matter how good the background was.

In the evening when they had braised rabbit meat, the little girl actually waited outside the entrance. San Wa didn't forget her. He brought a piece out for her.

She didn't pay any heed to the hygiene factor. The little girl will remember always how delicious this bite of rabbit meat was in the future life.

It's a pity that this sunny boy was getting further away as times go on. It was impossible to be together for a lifetime.

"San Wa, why are you taking that meat out?" Er Wa asked.

"Nothing much," San Wa picked up the bowl and started to eat. He turned to little Su Cheng, "Little brother, is rabbit meat yummy?"

"Yummy, very yummy." Little Su Cheng hurriedly nodded his head. He was given a rabbit leg too. He happily munched on it.

"Eat more if it tastes yummy." San Wa grinned.

Lin Qing He ushered Zhou Qing Bai and Father Zhou to eat more. This year's autumn harvest was as tiring as ever.

Even though Da Wa was busy with his studies, he still participate the autumn harvest in the afternoon. Lin Qing He did not stop him. But after dinner, she got him to take a shower and then was sent off to study.

Father Zhou, the grandfather, was very pleased. Outside, people all say that his family is going to produce a college student. As the grandfather, how can he not be ecstatic?

What was the elderly's greatest desire?

They just hope that each generation will get stronger than the previous. His youngest son was better than him and more capable than him. Now his grandson was more capable than his son. He was a prospective college student in the eyes of everyone. How can this not make one happy?

Right now, when Father Zhou goes out, he was respected by everyone.

Father Zhou didn't have much to say. Just that, his grandson study and recite text as soon as he gets back from school. Sometimes he would ask him to help check it.

Father Zhou also knew a few words. When he didn't get it, he had to let Er Wa take over.

But even so, it had the other elderly in envy.

"You'll be in ease and comfort in the future." Everyone said this to him.

"I'm enjoying the blessing right now." Father Zhou honestly responded.

Since eating with fourth's wife, Father Zhou discovered that life can be lived like this. It can be so comfortable.

To be honest, in the past, Father Zhou felt that he reached the age to enter the coffin. But now, Father Zhou felt that he can live a few more years...

Starting this year, he dropped two work points again and only get six work points.

When Fourth's wife learned about it, not only did she not criticize him, she also agreed with him. She said to him: "I long wanted to tell Father to not exhaust yourself so much. It's just I'm afraid of hurting your self-esteem. You are already at this age, you must protect your body, so that your grandchildren can show filial respect to you in the future."
