Chapter 207 Won't get cold



Chapter 207. Won't get cold

Zhou Qing Bai was happy. The current days had this guy, who satisfied with what one has, content. His parents were well. Good sibling relationship. Gentle wife. Sensible and strong children.

For a man, was there anything more fulfilling than this?

Everything he had now was given by his wife. He was grateful to her and wanted to hug her.

It was rare for Lin Qing He to see this man to bluntly seek spoiling like this. She hugged his neck and smilingly said: "What's up? Learning from San Wa?"

Zhou Qing Bai looked into his wife's eyes. It was full of affection for him. The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

This man had always been very tough, but that was just on the outside. He liked the warmth of his home when he comes home.

Lin Qing He had never been stingy on these matters.

No matter how tired he was outside, she can always make him feel the warmth at home.

There was no need to claim the credit. For the family, he was busy working outside. She naturally had the responsibility to take good care of the home so he didn't need to worry.

The home was formed by him and her. There was no reason for him to bear it all by himself.

Lin Qing He was carried onto the Kang by him. The encounter became a kiss that lasted three minutes.

"It smells like alcohol."

As soon as the kiss was over, Lin Qing He coquettishly hammered him lightly and pouted.

"Wife." Zhou Qing Bai huskily called her out.

This emittance of 'wife' contained the man's deep love for her. It also caused Lin Qing He's body to soften.

Naturally, the two of them had gentle loving.

In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped again.

This winter, it was extremely freezing even when it was New Year. Zhou Qing Bai went to check on his three sons. The Kang was still warm, so his mind was at ease.

He added a pair of worn-out trousers for Fei Ying outside. Fei Ying wagged his tail in response. Zhou Qing Bai went in and continued to sleep.

"It's really cold today." Lin Qing He woke up too and said.

"It was this cold once when I was young." Zhou Qing Bai hugged her and responded.

"I can tell Father and Mother love you the most, so they wouldn't let you get cold." Lin Qing He smiled lightly.

"They did dote me the most, however, the conditions at home weren't good. We all slept together in a huddle." Zhou Qing Bai said.

At that time, there was no such large cotton quilt. All were made of straw. How could straw keep warm? Fortunately, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were home-oriented. They made sure they can fill their stomach fifty-sixty percent full. So even when the winter was a bit tougher that year, they didn’t freeze.

The whole family was fine, but some other families weren't so lucky.

Generally speaking, as parents, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were great. That's why the brothers and sisters were so filial.

For example, Zhou Xiao Mei, the youngest daughter since First Sister and Second Sister's families weren't well off. That time when Su Da Lin came over to bring back Su Cheng brothers, he brought ten jins of white flour for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. On top of that was another red envelope of ten yuan.

They were all very filial.

"You brought over these two big quilts and mattresses in our family?" Zhou Qing Bai asked again.

"En." Lin Qing He smiled.

She guessed that this man had probably suspected before she confessed. He just didn't say it out loud.

Zhou Qing Bai indeed had suspicions but his imagination wasn't that good.

After all, these two big quilts were really rare. How can they be so easy to make?

And this mattress, it was also extra cozy and warm.

Zhou Xiao Mei had enquired with Lin Qing He about it last year.

Forget the quilt, but the family did lack a mattress. She found this woolen mattress quite excellent.

But the idea was dispersed by Lin Qing He. She said that she bought it on the black market and didn't know where it was sold from.

"I didn't have much money at the time, otherwise I would collect some bird's nest and fish gelatin." Lin Qing He felt regretful when she said it.

At that time, she was worried that the money would be all spent and her pockets would really be empty. Who knew she would come right away in her sleep.

And the buns that were ordered and weren't brought over...

It hurts to think about it.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled.

"Go to sleep. On these days, it's best to stay under the covers." Lin Qing He ushered.

Zhou Qing Bai slept with her.

The snow outside was indeed heavy. When they got up the next day, there was a thick layer of snow in the yard.

Zhou Qing Bai looked at the children. Da Wa and his brothers were still asleep. Then he came to old Zhou's home.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were fine, so he came back to cook porridge with a reassured mind.

However, Lin Qing He didn't need him. She got up and cooked the millet porridge and spare ribs with lotus seed congee herself. If Zhou Qing Bai returned later to make it, it would definitely be salty or bland.

With nothing to do, Zhou Qing Bai went out for a run.

It was too cold this year. There were worries that the piglets won't survive if brought back to raise. So they planned to wait for when it was warmer before bringing them back.

Even the hens were moved to the firewood shed. They'll get frozen in the chicken pen.

Because the weather was too cold, he didn't get Da Wa to join the run like normal.

After Lin Qing He's congee was cooked, Da Wa woke up. As for Er Wa and San Wa, they were still asleep on the kang like piglets.

"Brush your teeth and wash your face. Afterward, send this to your grandparents." Lin Qing He ordered him.

Da Wa said: "I will send it over first."

Lin Qing He placed it in the food box, and let him deliver it to his grandparents.

Father Zhou hadn't woken up yet. Mother Zhou was.

Da Wa asked, "Grandmother, how is Grandfather's body? It snowed so hard yesterday."

"He's fine. The quilt your mother gave us is warm. We won't get cold." Mother Zhou smiled.

"That's good." Da Wa nodded and gave her the food box. He urged her to have it while it was hot before going back.

Mother Zhou took it in and called her partner to get up. Father Zhou didn't stay in bed. He went to brush his teeth and wash his face once he was warmly dressed. Then he ate breakfast.

Things like lotus seeds were still very precious. After all, there was no pond here to raise lotus roots. They were all imported from outside.

However, things like this weren't expensive in Lin Qinghe's eyes.

She bought a lot of them and stored them away. When she wanted to eat it, just pay attention when cutting the lotus plumule. The whole family liked it, so why not buy it?

Zhou Xia was drooling at this so-called lotus seed and rib porridge. No matter how much he craved for it, he knew that his grandfather was sick and couldn't request for it.

"Grandmother, is this lotus seed porridge delicious?" Zhou Xia turned to his Grandmother.

Mother Zhou wasn't stingy. She scooped a spoonful for him. There were a few lotus seeds in it. Really fragrant.

Zhou Xia didn't have more after eating this spoonful. He was always envious of San Wa and his brothers. Whatever delicious was whatever made by Fourth Aunt.

"It's so cold today, why aren't you wearing more?" Mother Zhou asked him.

"No clothes. But I am more resistant to the cold." Zhou Xia replied.

Mother Zhou frowned and touched the clothes. It wasn't thick. She said: "Go back to the room and stay there. Don't go outside. If you catch a cold on this freezing weather, you'll have to get an injection."

The injection had an effect as Zhou Xia went back in obediently.
