Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs - Chapter 46

Chapter 46—Reading is Useless

Lin Qinghe felt much more relieved after wiping her body comfortably. As for her hair, she should wash her after dinner. She will have to cook later.

Zhou Qingbai knocked on the door and came in to pour out the water. He wiped one himself, and the whole person was refreshed.

He came in after he poured the water. Lin Qinghe looked at him: “If it’s okay, do you want to go to the county town tomorrow?”

“What do you want to buy?” Zhou Qingbai nodded and asked.

“You don’t need to buy anything, just go and see if there are any snacks such as red dates. You can buy some cloth back. I will take it for you to make your sister-in-law and make two more personal ones for you.” Lin Qinghe said.

“You do.” Zhou Qingbai looked at her.

“Where can I do it? My eldest sister and three sisters and Zhou Xi did everything on them.” Lin Qinghe said.

“I teach you.” Zhou Qingbai looked at her and said.

“You can still make clothes?” Lin Qinghe said in horror.

Zhou Qingbai shook his head: “No.”

Lin Qinghe didn’t get angry and said, “If you can’t, how can you teach me?”

“I know my size, I can point you, I can wear it if it is good or bad.” Zhou Qingbai looked at her and said.

How could Lin Qinghe hear such a bit of sorrow from these words that couldn’t be more normal?

But hearing him say that, she was not polite, and said: “If you don’t dislike it and are not afraid of me wasting cloth, then I can really try it.”

The original owner knows how to make clothes, and she pinches his size again, it should be a try.

What she did for the eldest child before, she was worried that she would ruin it in her hands, because there was no ticket and it was in vain.

But now there are a lot of tickets at home, so she naturally doesn’t worry about it. He said that he would practice her hands.

Eat pumpkin rice at night.

The eldest baby and his brothers were very satisfied with the food at home. Their grandfather and mother left them to eat at their old Zhou’s house, and they ran faster than anyone else.

After dinner, Zhou Qingbai consciously cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to wash the dishes. Lin Qinghe was quite satisfied with his performance and told him: “Boil a pot of water later and wipe these three as well.”

“Okay.” Zhou Qingbai responded.

The eldest baby whispered to his mother: “Mother, why did Dad go to wash the dishes?”

“Your father can’t wash the dishes anymore.” Lin Qinghe looked at him with a smile.

“Because other people’s fathers don’t wash the dishes, my uncle and none of them do the dishes.” Dawa said.

“That’s them, your father is happy to do it, and that is, you are still young. When next year starts, the bowl at home will be your job.” Lin Qinghe said.

“Mother, do you want me to wash the dishes?” The big baby said in shock.

“What’s wrong with telling you to wash the dishes? Man man, he doesn’t even know how to wash a bowl, do you know how to do it without seeing your father?” Lin Qinghe was lazy and confident.

“Others don’t do it.” Zhou Dawa couldn’t help but say.

“Others don’t have our family’s food yet. If you want to be their sons, then you go. Our family has our family’s rules. Besides, your father knows how to wash the dishes. Of course you have to know it.” Lin Qinghe Said.

“The girl did it. If they knew about it, they would laugh at the eldest brother.” Erwa said.

Even taking him will be laughed at.

“Your father will help my mother wash the dishes, then it proves that he is a good man, knowing that it is not easy for my mother to manage the family, and he is willing to help my mother with some housework. If you help my mother wash the dishes, that also proves that you are filial mothers. The mother gave birth to the three of you and no girl, so she was willing to wash the dishes for her to make her relaxed. Why do they laugh at you?” Lin Qinghe said.

Zhou Dawa was stunned by her words, and she couldn’t refute it completely.

“If you have an opinion that can be refuted, I accept the argument to refute, but if you can’t tell me, then you will change it afterwards.” Lin Qinghe said.

“Mother, I’m only four years old!” The baby said immediately on Tuesday.

“After the new year, you will be five years old. When you are six years old, you will change the washing with your elder brother. My mother knows that you are all good and filial children, and will continue to make good food for you in the future.” Lin Qinghe said.

The second baby immediately looked bitter.

“It’s still a long time to be six years old, what’s the worry?” Lin Qinghe poked him in the face.

“Mother, I don’t need to wash the dishes.” The second baby leaned over to act like a baby.

“My mother made good food for you, don’t you even want to wash a few bowls for your mother?” Lin Qinghe looked at him in surprise, as if to be disappointed.

She was so scared that the baby on Tuesday said quickly: “Then I will wash my mother when I grow up.”

“I know that my second baby is very good.” Lin Qinghe said with satisfaction.

The eldest baby sighed, “Mother, why do you look so much like a stepmother?”

“Yes, the stepmother can make new clothes and coats for your brothers, and the stepmother can buy new hats for your brothers, one for each person, and the stepmother can change the way to make food for you every day. I don’t know who in the village wants me to be their stepmother.” Lin Qinghe said.

“Hehe, mother, I was joking.” Zhou Dawa said immediately.

Sanwa jumped over, yelling sugar in his mouth.

This is going to eat white rabbit toffee.

Lin Qinghe said: “You can’t eat sugar just after eating, wait until tomorrow.”

The three packs of white rabbit toffee that the family bought before now have two packs left, and one pack has been eaten by some of their brothers.

The Sanwa was still clamoring to eat, Lin Qinghe went to cut an apple for him to eat, stuffed something in his mouth, and he was at peace.

Let the two brothers play around on the kang, Lin Qinghe continued to knit sweaters.

Zhou Qingbai, who was washing dishes, listened to the laughter of the children in the room, and her occasional jokes, and her heart couldn’t be warmer.

After washing the dishes, he scooped hot water in to wipe their bodies, and put them on a small chair to soak their feet and wash their feet every time they were wiped.

They were all cleaned by Zhou Qingbai, and Lin Qinghe knitted woolen pants and looked at them, ignoring them.

But she also paid attention. Although Zhou Qingbai didn’t speak much, he still had the potential of a dad. He could actually take good care of several children.

After washing their feet and wiping them dry, they all threw them on the kang.

Then he gave Lin Qinghe her private footbath to come in and asked her to soak her feet. Lin Qinghe was not polite, and said while soaking her feet: “You go to the county town tomorrow to see if you have any pens and papers. Buy some for your eldest baby. After the new year, I will be seven years old, and I have been sent to the team to study.”

“Okay.” Zhou Qingbai responded.

But the big baby shouted: “Reading? What kind of book? I plan to go to work with my dad next year!”

“It doesn’t matter if you earn work points while studying,” Lin Qinghe said.

“I’m not going!” The big baby said immediately.

“Why not go?” Lin Qinghe asked.

“Reading is useless!” the big baby hummed.

“Reading is useless? Who did you listen to?” Lin Qinghe looked at him and said.

“My second mother, she said that reading is useless, aren’t those who know that they are also studying, aren’t they all going to the countryside to work?” Dabab said.

“His father, go and get pen and paper.” Lin Qinghe said to Zhou Qingbo.
