Chapter 407. Old Fourth’s problem
Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai came home with a net bag of oranges.
Lin Qing He looked at it and said, “Did you bring all of Weng Family’s oranges back?”
“This is what Aunt Weng gave us. She said it was so sweet. We couldn’t reject her.” Zhou Gui Lai replied.
“Who was at home?” Lin Qing He asked.
“Just like Aunt Weng and Uncle Weng.” Zhou Gui Lai replied.
“Brother Guo Liang and his brother didn’t come back this year. Sister Mei Jia went to her classmate’s house. She wasn’t at home this year, but she should be coming over here on the second day of the new year. Uncle Weng and the others may also come.” Zhou Xuan said.
Lin Qing He grinned: “Alright then. I will keep them for hot pot during the New Year.”
Zhou Qing Bai grabbed an orange and peeled it for her. He ate one himself: “This orange is good.”
“It’s not bad.” Lin Qing He nodded. Quite a size and was sweet.
It was still early at this time. Zhou Qing Bai suggested, “Go for a walk.”
“Go to your grandparents’ place to eat dinner. Hu Zi and Gang Zi have already gone.” Lin Qing He said to her two sons.
After instructing her two sons, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qingbai went to stroll in the snow.
“I intend for Weng Family to be my in-laws. What do you think?” Lin Qing He asked with a smile.
“Wait for them to come and then see.” Zhou Qing Bai responded.
Although he doesn’t care about these things, the eldest daughter-in-law of the family was still very important. So they really need to see how the other party was.
Lin Qing He nodded and changed the topic to Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law’s new house.
It was completely built this year. Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law was richer than they thought. They had built a very bright brick house.
From what Eldest Sister-in-law said, she got a room at their side to live in the future. It seems that there were a good few extra rooms. After all the refurnishing, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law’s saving were cleanly spent.
Including the leftovers from raising pigs and selling chickens and ducks and selling food this year. The whole amount was almost spent.
But after changing to such a big house, she can hear how happy Eldest Sister-in-law was from her words.
Zhou Qing Bai smiled and said, “I want one too.”
The house they owned was definitely not enough for when children have all grown up. Sometimes they have to go back to live in. All in all, it needs to be more spacious.
Lin Qing He said: “Wait for later.”
Although the household registration was relocated, they were still the people from over there. Leave the countryside, but not the connection.
And the most important thing was that the environment in their hometown was still quite good. It wasn’t a bad idea to come back and live for a while in the future.
As for the brick house, forget it. When the time comes, buy a site over there and then build a building. Not those bungalow kind.
“Go back to our hometown for our own age?” Zhou Qingbai said, looking at his wife.
Lin Qing He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and remarked, “How old are you now? Already thinking about retirement?”
“It’s good to think about it.” Zhou Qing Bai looked around and took her hand.
Lin Qing He pursed her lips in amusement. This mensao old man. She grasped his hand.
This man was very sentimental. Life in the capital was great, but when he gets old in the future, he kind of wants to go back to his hometown.
“We’ll see in the future. If our hometown is better, it’s no problem to go back.” Lin Qing He coaxed him.
He couldn’t realize how fast the country developed in later generations just by her saying it. He would naturally know in the future that the big city outside was an excellent place for old-age care.
Whether it is medical treatment or public security or other, it is top-notch.
Of course, on the premise that the two of them weren’t short of money.
Zhou Qing Bai nodded and walked hand in hand with his wife. This was the end of 1982. It will be 1983 after the new year.
The culture had changed a lot from the previous two years.
For example, on TV, there were many kissing scenes. And in the music. Those sweet love songs were ringing all over the streets.
So, there was no biggie about the two of them holding hands.
“Not birthing.” Halfway through, Zhou Qing Bai said suddenly.
Lin Qing He understood what he meant at once. She turned to look at the man beside her, raised her eyebrows, and said, “Not birthing?”
Actually, she didn’t think she was still able to get pregnant. She will be thirty-seven after the new year. After the ligation, there was a 0.01% chance of getting pregnant. She really didn’t think she would win the jackpot
It was just that Zhou Qing Bai didn’t give up.
He really wanted a fourth child.
“En.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
Old Wang wasn’t feeling well yesterday. When he took old Wang to the hospital, there was a 40-year-old woman who was getting admitted to the hospital in a hurry.
And it was an emergency.
This soon-to-be mother evaded family planning and persisted on give birth. Currently, family planning was implemented and the whole country was tightly on watch.
According to the nurse, it was an advanced-age pregnancy. Delivering at high age wasn’t easy and dangerous.
Zhou Qing Bai thought of his wife. Although his wife was still young and beautiful, she was almost thirty-seven. She was so sweet and delicate. He was a little worried.
Yes, in the eyes of Zhou Qing Bai, his wife was a delicate girl despite being in a circle of intellectual.
The kind that had to be spoiled and coaxed. Zhou Qing Bai felt his scalp was tingling when listening to the cries of the advanced-age mother.
He thought the way things were now was fine. No fourth child, then so be it.
Lin Qing He didn’t know that he had thought it through. Still, she was a little relieved. She wasn’t relieved because she didn’t need to give birth but that he let it go. He wouldn’t be so disappointed if she couldn’t give birth.
In fact, speaking with conscience, after Lin Qing He truly fell in love with this man, she wanted to give birth to a child for him. What’s more, it was considered a child that was birthed by her and him. She would never treat Da Wa and his brothers any different.
She gave birth to them all.
Can’t be helped. The original owner was really ruthless. After the three sons knew that her status was solid and directly got ligation done once and for all. What can she, the latecomer, do?
Since she been with him, he had been longing for a fourth child in his heart.
Ideally, a girl. As long as she got pregnant, he will not dislike it even if she is a son.
After so many years, it was almost a heart sickness. Lin Qing He couldn’t bear to get him down. The only thing he requested from her in his life was a fourth child.
The man never asked for anything else.
“In the future, Eldest and Second can’t have a lot of children. Third will come out to do business by himself. Let him have a few more when the time comes. There will be a granddaughter.” Lin Qing He comforted: “Anyway, we will still dote like normal.”
Zhou Qing Bai didn’t say anything. Thinking about it, since he couldn’t hold his daughter, it’s not a bad idea to hold a granddaughter.
“Give a shop. Whoever gives birth to our granddaughter, we will reward him with a shop.” Lin Qing He continued.
Zhou Qing Bai laughed. This was a good idea.
