Chapter 220. Gold bracelet again

Because they got this batch of meat from Sister Mei, the food at home went up a level.

This led to Mother Zhou stuffing Lin Qing He ten yuans. Lin Qin He was puzzled by this: "Mother, why are you giving me money?"

"It costs a lot of money to buy so much meat," Mother Zhou replied.

Ever since she joined her youngest son and daughter-in-law for meals, Mother Zhou felt a little guilty. She knew Fourth's wife can splurge, but what she didn’t know that the money was basically spent on Qing Bai and the boys.

Qing Bai owned several sets of clothes. Just sweaters only were two. Both made by his wife.

Same with the boys. All of them were treated well.

Because Da Wa, the eldest grandson, was growing up, she made sure he ate well every day. Mother Zhou felt if it were her, she might not be willing to feed eldest grandson this way.

On the other hand, Fourth’s wife ate poorly herself. It was either munching on cucumber or tomato. At most, one or two pieces of meat. There was one egg a day, but that was it.

Because of Lin Qing He's performance over the years, Mother Zhou chose to forget how she took care of the boys before.

After all, people have to look forward. Let those little things of the past pass. Why bother focusing on them?

Because the food was so great, it was natural to know that it was costly. That's why Mother Zhou handed some subsidy.

Lin Qing He chuckled when she heard this: "Mother, put it away. It goes without saying that meat is bought to be eaten. There's still some money at home. If there is no money, I will go to you."

How could she take money from her mother-in-law?

"Take it, your father asked me to give it." Mother Zhou persisted.

Lin Qing He had no intention to take it, but seeing that she really wanted to give it, she accepted and said, "Alright, I won't be reserved with you, Mother. If you need money to spend, just tell me. "

Mother Zhou smiled and nodded. Then whispered about Da Wa: "Your Aunt Cai came to me again and wanted to introduce her Xiao Cai to Da Wa."

"It's too early." Lin Qing He responded.

"I said the same thing. Besides, our Da Wa has to marry an intellectual in the future." Mother Zhou also had her thoughts.

She believed the reason why her eldest grandson was so good at studying was that he had inherited from his mother. Otherwise, relying on old Zhou's ability, how could they produce such a studious grandson?

Not possible.

This shows the importance of finding a good partner.

After finally studying to this high level, he must find someone at a similar level in the future. There was no reason to find a girl in the village. Especially, the girl, Xiao Cha. She was a good girl, but just too honest. Definitely, can't tame her grandson.

Have to say, Mother Zhou's thoughts were similar to Lin Qing He's.

Mother Zhou felt that it was better to find Fourth's wife's kind. She can handle old Fourth. Although old Fourth was a fine fella, she shouldn't find someone similar to him for him.

Look at old Second. He was completely under his wife's control. Not promising at all.

Eldest and old Third were like that, not as good as old Fourth.

So Mother Zhou decided that if eldest grandson is looking for a spouse in the future, she must open her eyes wide and examine slowly and carefully. Why rush?

Old Cai Family wanted to make an early reservation now? Don't think about it.

Lin Qing He chuckled and didn't say anything. In her mind, he was only eleven years old and hadn't stopped being breastfed completely. So why would he look for a wife? It's not overboard to look for one at the age of thirty-one.

However, at the age of eleven and a half, 1.65 meter Da Wa was very driven.

Now that he didn’t need to focus on studying and need to wait until September 1st to enter high school, he joined his father every day to earn work points. Of course, Lin Qing He also brought high school textbooks in advance to give him a preview.

As for Er Wa and San Wa's studies, Lin Qing He's demand was less. They can study according to the normal pace. Initially, she wanted Da Wa to take his time with the study, but to catch the first train of the college entrance examination, she had to push her eldest son to work hard.

Fortunately, everything was on track.

Two years later, the college entrance examination will be just right after he completed the second year of high school.

Lin Qing He didn't have classes to teach. It was still summer vacation. She strolled around the city in her spare time and brought a lot of agricultural products to sell.

For example, peanuts, sesame, and soybeans. They weren't worth much money in the countryside, but they can still be sold out in the city.

"Big lass, do you still have these peanuts? I have something in my hand. Don't know if you will exchange it or not." A little old lady looked at Lin Qing He and whispered.

Lin Qing He wasn't familiar with her, and responded, "Madam, I finally exchanged for these after much difficulties. My family is desperate to use money. If not, I won't do this."

This was how she acted with unfamiliar people. She can't straight up agree as soon as it was brought up. Who knows if they were a spy or not?

"Don't hide it from me. I know you are a veteran at first glance. My two sons have jobs. However, without ration coupons, my grandchildren are starving. I'm not here to investigate." The little old lady whispered.

At this, Lin Qing He smiled: "Does ma'am want to exchange it with money or what?"

"Come with me." The little old lady said.

Lin Qing He followed. At this time, the people panicked as soon as there were shouts. She won't dare to commit the abduction. Also, she won't enter the small alley. At most, wait at the entrance of the big alley.

The little old lady had no plans of leading her in. She asked her to wait outside and she went in by herself.

Then when she came out, she brought her over to an alley which had no one.

"Big lass, look at this thing." The little old lady made sure no one was around and then revealed a corner of the gold bracelet.

Lin Qing He could tell what it was at a glance and shook her head: "Ma'am, you must joking. This kind of old society item can't even exchange for a steamed bun now. What use is it to me?"

"It's useless now, but it will definitely be useful in the future. If it weren't for the fact that we can't cook at home now, I wouldn't want to take it out." The little old lady did indeed have reluctance in her eyes.

Lin Qing He felt that pushing the price down with this little old lady was a bit bullying, so she said: "Then ma'am, what are you going to exchange it for?"

"Fifty jins food coupons and this gold bracelet will be given to you." The little old lady stared at her as she said.

"Take it out and let me have a look." Lin Qing He looked at her.

The little old lady showed her the gold bracelet. Lin Qing He weighed it. It got quite a bit of weight, so she said, "Forty jins."

"Forty-five jins."

"Alright……"

Lin Qing He took out the food coupons from her pocket. These food coupons were gained from her food exchange. As for her space, there were many national military food coupons brought back by Zhou Qing Bai. These were very precious. She'll save them for future use.

The old lady didn't expect her to direct. Still, she didn't say anything. Anyway, she picked up the bracelet. It wasn't really hers.

She'll exchange as much as she can.
