Chapter 268. Rat poop

Good grades didn't come out of the blue. She finely and carefully studied.

During this period, Mother Zhou came back. When she came back to drink water and saw that she (LQH) was studying in the yard, she didn't disturb her.

Once she reached the sun-drying yard, she said to her old friends: "San Wa's Mother is really giving it her all. She's in the middle of studying at home now. Whether she's at school or at home, she won't slack off."

Then her old friends praised in response.

"She has lost a lot of weight when she got back this time. Her jaw is sharp." Mother Zhou continued on.

"There are so many chickens at your home. You have to nourish Da Wa's Mother." An old lady said.

"It is time to give supplements. Speaking of this, Qing Bai's Mother, you're so fortunate. In the surrounding neighborhood, who doesn't envy Qing Bai's Mother now? Before it was the son who was astounding, now it's the daughter-in-law." Another old lady remarked.

Although there had been other college students who have passed the entrance examination in the past two years, it was still very few. What's more, none of them got admitted to the university in the capital.

Must say, this old Seventh was really prospering.

The old Seventh was Father Zhou. Among this generation in Zhoujia Village, Father Zhou ranked seventh.

Mother Zhou laughed and chattered with them. They could talk about Lin Qing He being studious for a day.

Lin Qing He's mind had nothing else, just memorizing sentences, familiarizing with the grammar, and then writing it down from memory.

Even on the train, she was like this.

When it was ten-thirty, it was almost time to cook. Only then, Lin Qing He started to work.

Stir-fried pork intestine with pickled vegetable bits. One can never get tired of this common dish.

The pork belly was cut into finger width. It was eaten as a cold salad. Extremely delectable.

Another was braised pork.

She bought a lot of pork. It can't last in this kind of weather, so she just made a large portion. The rest had been sprinkled with salt.

Mother Zhou went home to eat. As for others, Lin Qing He sent it over when it was ready.

Zhou Qing Bai, Father Zhou, and the two boys were exhausted.

Lin Qing He directed at Father Zhou: "Hurry up and eat, Father. Scoop more mung bean soup later. I had let it cool."

"Okay." Father Zhou was already at that age. Fortunately, his body was healthy.

And he often took breaks too. That's why he can keep on going.

Lin Qing He urged them to lie down under the tree after finish eating and said, "Wait for the horn to sound before going back. With this weather, it won't rain."

The sky was cloudless. Clearly, it was bright and sunny.

Lin Qing He didn't stay long. She returned first after packing away the dishes.

She soaked some mung beans to cook in the evening as supper. How could anyone stand such weather?

When returning home in the evening, Zhou Qing Bai was holding a plump rabbit.

It was caught in the wheat field. Obviously, it'll be fat.

Of course, the rabbit will be braised

During this summer harvest, Mother Zhou got Zhou Qing Bai to kill a chicken to nourish Lin Qing He's body.

Lin Qing He didn't hold back. Still, the whole family ate it together.

Once the summer harvest was over, everyone sighed in relief.

Lin Qing He didn't continue her grain resale anymore.

She had no desire for that bit of money made by reselling grains. Not to mention the hard work, it was still risky, even if the situation improved a lot.

The goods brought back from Hai City made more than this.

So she just didn't want to anymore. Lin Qing He was feeling lazy in this hot weather.

However, it was truly not easy for farmers, especially people in this era. After the summer harvest, it didn't mean that they can be idle.

After the grain was harvested, it was time to cultivate the land and plant the grain for the next season.

Zhou Qing Bai came back that evening. The food at home was very simple, but also very refreshing and delicious.

A small cabbage and salted eggs were served with white congee. It was simple but the taste was top-notch.

No need to make something complicated in the summer. The heat withered away one's appetite.

In the evening, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went out for a swim.

Lin Qing He sat on the rock and soaked her feet. Zhou Qing Bai went into the water by himself. He liked swimming very much and would come to swim every three days or so.

After swimming for more than half an hour, Lin Qing He urged Zhou Qing Bai to go home.

Zhou Qing Bai complyingly came up. Because there was no one, he had changed a pair of underwear, so he won't feel wet and uncomfortable. And he can just head home and go to sleep.

Lin Qing He watched him without blinking. Zhou Qing Bai noticed it when he looked up. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. The gaze toward his wife was a bit deep.

Lin Qing He went 囧. She deciphered from her Qing Bai's eyes: Wait till we get home later. I'll let you have a good look.

The couple was on their way home. They noticed someone sneaking in the middle of the night and heading towards the back mountain.

"Isn't that old Fourth Ma?" Lin Qing He uttered in puzzlement, "What is he up to this late?"

"Looking for Wang Ling." Zhou Qing Bai simply answered without guessing.

Only then, Lin Qing He recalled that Wang Ling was with old Fourth Ma at the beginning when they got found out by old Third Ma. Later, she and Zhou He ended up getting criticized.

"Never thought these two would be still in contact." Lin Qing He responded.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything.

Wang Ling's reputation was terrible now. What he didn't tell his wife was that Wang Ling even came to him once and asked him if he was lonely and that he could go to her place at night to play. She won't charge him money.

It went without saying, Zhou Qing Bai ignored it. He was really disgusted.

It was better to not tell his wife about this kind of thing to prevent her from being mad for nothing.

When the couple got home, a round of black pressing on white. Then they fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Qing He came over to Third Sister-in-law's place.

While she was at it, she paid attention to Wang Ling's side.

Though it was said to be pay attention, it was actually a test. She wasn't home. And her Qing Bai was a manly guy. He was tall and got a handsome face. Although he was tanned, he did appear more masculine and handsome.

There was no doubt that Lin Qing He believes in Zhou Qing Bai. But it did not mean that she believes in Wang Ling.

Third Sister-in-law laughed and said: "You still have to worry about this. Fourth Brother isn't blind. How can he possibly look at her? "

Wang Ling, that rat poop was currently staying in the back mountain because the Gang of Four had fallen and no one will criticize her again.

She also became more unscrupulous. Some improper-to-the-core men had been tempted away by her.

"You don't know, old Fourth Ma often go over. His wife frequently quarrels with him about this matter. There are also others from other villages. There is foul air on the back mountain. I have never seen such a morally corrupt person. It only exists now. If it was before, see if she won't get criticized to death." Third Sister-in-law said with disgust.

"She really didn't lure my Qing Bai?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Don't worry. We are all watching. Fourth Brother treats you like the apple of his eyes. Who in the village doesn't know that he specially made a trip to see you during the previous heavy rain." Third Sister-in-law laughed.

Lin Qing He was relieved after hearing this.
