In the neighboring room, Eldest Sister-in-law also talked about the big bone Lin Qing He sent today.

Although she didn’t have the same thought as Second Sister-in-law, she did have a confused face. Therefore, Zhou Qing Mu expressed that Fourth's wife became sensible.

Eldest Sister-in-law gave him an eye roll. Previously when Fourth's wife was causing a scene, her man also said that she was too young and not sensible yet. But after that, she was already the mother of three children. When did she ever act sensibly?

Now sensible? Who would believe it?

"This is splurging too much. I heard Tao Zi's mother said she saw her carrying a basket full of things back." Eldest Sister-in-law said.

Just don’t know what it was, with a cloth covering it. But if she was willing to give out a big bone, then she must have bought a lot.

Zhou Qing Mu also agreed on this point. How can you splurge so much to live well? And the three brothers, one was five years old in a blink of an eye and will be six years old after the new year. When kids grow up, what didn't need money?

Truthfully speaking, Zhou Qing Mu was also a little envious, because he only had one son. The first three were daughters, so the pressure is relatively small. But he would rather be more stressful.

"I don't know if this is a son." Zhou Qing Mu touched Eldest Sister-in-law's recently showing tummy and spoke.

Eldest Sister-in-law's attention was attracted, commented: "Every time Da Wa sees Third's wife's belly, he calls out 'little brother'. I also don't know if this is the son or not."

She wasn’t really worried, because no matter what, she still had one son. Of course, it was better if this was a son. If it wasn't, it didn’t matter.

Third Sister-in-law was currently making clothes for Da Wa and Er Wa. Now that the harvest business was over, she didn’t need to do any work at home, so she can make clothes all day long, and the speed will naturally be faster. The one in her hands was Er Wa's, and it was half done.

In a few days, Da Wa's will be finished, then she can make a jacket for her daughter.

Although the old Zhou Family each had their own thoughts, the days were still very harmonious. When Third Sister-in-law yawned to go to rest, Lin Qing He had already awakened.

Tonight she decided to eat dumplings, so she started making the dough.

She had already chopped up all the ribs and put them in the s.p.a.ce. The day wasn't so cold, so except for the pork belly sprinkled with salt, the fresh meat and ribs were not durable. To have a s.p.a.ce, which was comparable to the refrigerator, at this moment was great.

When Lin Qing He was busy in the kitchen, the brothers woke up one after another. When they learned that they were having dumplings for dinner, they were overjoyed.

Zhou Da Wa went directly went off to show off. Zhou Er Wa also went out to play, and San Wa stayed at home with Lin Qing He.

As far as Lin Qing He was concerned, as long as the eldest two didn’t go overboard, she won't restrain them. They were boys, so no need to raise them through restraining. And the most important thing was that winter will soon arrive. At that time, there's not much to play. She planned to get Zhou Da Wa to study then.

Wait until next year, she'll send him to elementary school.

Elementary school was a five-year model, while junior high school and high school were two-year systems.

Six years old was not too young and it was not bad to go to school. It was better than petting cats and teasing dogs at home.

Zhou Da Wa, who didn’t know his free-spirited days were diminis.h.i.+ng, was having fun outside, and Zhou Er Wa was running behind him like a tail.

Don't know what they played outside, but they always end up dirty when they return.

Lin Qing He saw the dough was mostly done and after sweeping one glance to the brothers, she sent them to wash their hands and face.

There was a well in the house, which was very costly. In the whole village, there was a maximum of five households who can have a well in their own yard and she was one of them.

Of course, it was usually covered, to prevent the brothers from messing around.

It took a lot of money to dig this well. As the original owner relied on Zhou Qing Bai's money that was sent back every month, she didn't mind and simply hired people to dig the well.

While Second Sister-in-law was complacent. She thought that the original owner's net saving did not necessarily add up to her. However, she underestimated Zhou Qing Bai's ability.

In the early years, Zhou Qing Bai did only send back a minimum of 20 yuan per month, usually 23 or 24 yuan. When more, it was 25 or 26 yuan. Basically, he sent it all back.

He didn't need to spend any money over there and had no place to spend, so he sent as much as he could. Same with the coupons.

However later in the last two years, the money sent back by Zhou Qingbai can reach above 30 yuan a month. Usually, around thirty-five or six.

Even if the original owner splurge extravagantly, but in this era, even having money didn't allow one to go around the world. Although the boys were still a kid, their intake wasn't big enough to eat his old man to poverty, especially the original owner setting the limit for them at not starving to death. So how much can she spend?

The majority of the expense at home was due to her own use. Vanis.h.i.+ng cream, new dresses, new cotton coats, scarves, scarves, socks, and shoes. She had all of these.

Because she was just spending on herself, the original owner can still save a little.

Although she had spent a lot to her, Lin Qing He found out she saved more than two hundred yuans, nearly three hundred dollars after counting the family's wealth.

In the age when the money was spent one cent at a time, three hundred yuans was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

It's just that the image of the original owner frittering away the money was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone unanimously believed that she didn't have much savings at all.

Of course, an old lady in the village had told her to save and only spend on necessity in the past.

At that time, the original owner casually replied: "This is not enough for me to spend, so how can I save?"

These words were still being spread in the village until now. Seeing her put on vanis.h.i.+ng cream and wear a new dress and leather shoes, all the villagers dare not to buy or even ask the price of these high-end products. They don't doubt the authenticity of her words.

"Mother, what kind of stuffing is in the dumpling?" Zhou Da Wa said while was.h.i.+ng up.

Lin Qing He replied: "Pork dumplings."

"I like mother's dumplings, so no matter what stuffing, I like to eat," said Zhou Er Wa.

Er Wa was used to pleasing. Lin Qing He also gave him face and directed smiling eyes at him. Er Wa grinned.

"Mother, do you want me to help you?" Zhou Da Wa asked, his eyes brightened with the desire to be hands-on.

I will definitely have you to do it in the future. I don’t intend to spoil you into a young master who didn’t touch the spring (clean) water.

But for now no need. All of them were like they came out of the mud. Their nail all got dirt. Although she had washed them, they can return the original state within one day.

"Don't intervene, just go stay at one side." Lin Qing He batted away his hand.

Zhou Da Wa said: "Mother, you dislike me!"

"Me disliking you wasn't a day or two matter. Why didn't I see you mention it before? That's right, our family is going to raise chickens. Do you have anything to say?" Lin Qing He proposed.

"Raise chicks?" Er Wa parroted with bright eyes.

"En." Lin Qing He nodded: "Zhou Da Wa, take your brother's hand away. Don't let him feed it to his mouth." She gave San Wa a little dough and told him to play there.
