Chapter 680. Mei Jia is pregnant

Zhou Xiao Mei uttered: "Is this commercial house that good?"

Lin Qing He grinned and responded, "It's definitely not bad. If you and Brother-in-law can buy a set, it will be equivalent to cultivating a doctoral student."

Later generations of doctoral students may not be able to afford a commercial house in the capital.

Zhou Xiao Mei was surprised. She stared at her fourth sister-in-law and said: "Fourth Sister-in-law thinks I should buy?"

"Your place isn't small. When the children grow up and get married, you are willing to share with your daughters-in-law, but your daughter-in-laws may not be willing to live with you." Lin Qing He smilingly pointed out.

That was why she and Zhou Qing Bai gave her son and daughter-in-law a 100,000 yuan for moving home fee. If they want to go out to live by themselves, they can go out and live there by themselves. If they want to come home and live, then come home and live. It was up to them.

"Not willing to live with us. Well, we aren't willing to live with the daughter-in-laws. If they are okay, it's fine. If we encountered someone petty, then I will vomit to death." Zhou Xiao Mei commented.

"Then get Cheng Cheng and Xun Xun open their eyes and look clearly in the future." Lin Qing He smiled: "Still, you can prepare two commercial houses for them. If you have the conditions, you can prepare for Tian Tian and Ya Ya too."

Zhou Xiao Mei almost vomited blood: "We may not be able to afford one, let alone four."

"How is business this year?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Da Lin has started to set up a stall again. It's pretty good when including the store business. However, the expenses are high. It's really not easy to raise the four of them." Zhou Xiao Mei sighed.

Fortunately, they followed her fourth sister-in-law to open a shop here in the capital. If it were changed to back then when they relied her Da Lin's monthly salary in the county city, forget about raising four students. Each and every one of them would have to go out to society in advance to find something to do.

The burden was really too great.

In 1986, nine-year compulsory education was implemented. Only some tuition fees were charged. It didn’t cost much for the two daughters at the later stage. As for the two sons at the front, there was no words to describe it.

In addition, there was other expenses on normal days. It wasn't a lie to say that they can afford a house.

"Cheng Cheng will graduate in two years. He will be out to work when that time comes. He don't need you to shoulder it anymore. Anyway, does Cheng Cheng plan to do anything? Or will he go with what the school assign?" Lin Qing He said.

College students were still rare at this time. But it wasn’t like in the early '80s, where they were like pandas.

There were still allocations. However, some have their own plans and give the opportunity to others.

"I don't know what he wants to do. Didn't reach that point. I'll ask him next time he come back." Zhou Xiao Mei replied.

"If he wants to, he can go to Hai City to develop. The tea shop on that side is left to Jiang Heng to manage. He can go to help. The salary will definitely not be lower than when he goes to work. As for social benefits, there is none now. We will take care of it in the future." Lin Qing He suggested.

"Let me ask. If he is willing, then it's not a bad idea to let him go." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

She didn't think there was a problem with her college student son selling tea after graduation. Look at San Wa's wine shop. They were all college students too!

Because the business was good, everyone's salary can reach two hundred and up. Absolutely high-paying level.

That was because Su Cheng majored in marketing. That's why, Lin Qing He would offer. If he majored in other majors, Lin Qing He wouldn't have been bothered to ask.

It was April in a blink of an eye. The weather was getting warmer and warmer.

Lin Qing He received a call from Weng Mei Jia this day. When she heard the voice of her eldest daughter-in-law, Weng Mei Jia, Lin Qing He's heartbeat went a little faster.

Was she going to be a grandmother?

Sure enough, Weng Mei Jia didn't disappoint her. She announced the good news on the phone.

She became pregnant during the month of marriage. From then until this month, it was just over a month.

"It's been a little over a month and only calling now to tell." Lin Qing He grumbled.

"Sorry Mom. I just forgot." Weng Mei Jia smiled.

She really forgot after getting busy. Only when she remembered she hadn't called back, did she came over to call.

"Take care of yourself. Don't exhaust yourself. I'll tell your Mom's side. Once you're in your third trimester of pregnancy, I will go to see you with your mom." Lin Qing He told.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time before they hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qing Bai, who was sitting at the side, sat up slightly and stated, "Pregnant?"

"En. You're going to be a grandfather too." Lin Qing He laughed. Naturally, she was delighted.

Zhou Qing Bai also had a joy in his eyes: "He is still considered capable."

Lin Qing He gave him an amused eye-roll. Then she drove over to Mother Weng's. Mother Weng was also overjoyed when she heard that and said: "I was saying the young couple have such a good relationship. They must be pregnant. Here I was still wondering. It turned out to be busy and forgot to tell."

"I told Mei Jia that when she is in her later stage of pregnancy, we'll find some time to go over?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Okay. We'll go there then." Mother Weng nodded.

Weng Mei Jia is pregnant. As the family's eldest daughter-in-law, she was also regarded as the eldest daughter-in-law of old Zhou family. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were over the moon.

Old Wang spoke, "I wonder when Third will be free this year? I want to go over there and check it out."

"When the time come, Elder Sister Weng and I are planning to go there too. When that time comes later, will you come with us, Uncle Wang?" Lin Qing He smiled.

Although old Wang's health wasn't very good, it was only in the winter. The summer was fine.

Father Zhou voiced his desire to go over and have a look. So the number increased. As for Mother Zhou, the journey to the capital back then still casted a shadow in Mother Zhou's heart. She was particularly afraid of riding the train.

Otherwise, she would have to go back to her hometown once a year to talk to her surviving old friends about the scenery of the capital.

Due to Lin Qing He's instruction, Weng Mei Jia called back every week. She was too busy to call back often a while ago. Now the load gotten lighter, there was more free time.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law weren't afraid of having nothing to talk. Every time they chatted on the phone, they would talk for seven or eight minutes.

After knowing that the conditions there weren't very good, but weren't too behind, Lin Qing He was more relieved.

Zhou Kai had left for a mission. It was already a month before he came back. He didn't know that his wife was pregnant when he left for the mission. Only when he came back, did he find out.

He called back home to talk to his mom. His voice couldn't hide his joy.

"Stinky boy, remember to take good care of Mei Jia. When you're not at home, Mei Jia took care of your son alone. It's not easy!" Lin Qing He warned.

"I know I know. Tomorrow I will go to the city to buy two boxes of apples and pears." Zhou Kai grinned.

"Milk powder and malted milk extract have to be bought too," Lin Qing He added.

"I know. I'll buy everything." Zhou Kai agreed. He was obviously submerged in joy.
