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

Chapter 311 Transistor radio



Chapter 311. Transistor radio

It can be considered that Lin Qing He watched this kid, Zhou Dong grows up. Lin Qing He knew his character. He can be a good neighbor.

So Lin Qing He came over. It was more-less out of thought for him and wanted to ask him if he was interested. He can try to start a business.

If he wants, he can watch each other back with Third Brother Lin, right?

"The family has raised a lot of chickens this year. I'll get uncle to come and collect them." Zhou Dong grinned.

He was responsible for the work in the field. This year, he too had contracted a lot. His wife raised a lot of chickens. The laid eggs or live chicken can make money to subsidize the family.

It can be said that life was very good.

"Why not just expand the quantity of raising?" Lin Qing He said, "Isn't there still a piece of land behind your backyard? Go and get it contracted with the village. Then fence the surrounding. With this, you can raise a hundred or so chickens. Afterward, raise two dogs to keep watch. Your wife can stay at home to care for the children and raise the chickens. She won’t be overwhelmed."

Have to say, Zhou Dong was really a man who dotes his wife. He didn't need Cai Ba Mei working in the field. He shouldered all the field work.

Cai Ba Mei stayed at home. Although she was honest, she knew how to live.

Not only did the family raised nearly 20 chickens, which was definitely a lot, they also raised a piglet. It will bring a hefty sum next year.

She was a very capable wife.

"The land behind the backyard." Zhou Dong was taken by surprise.

"Get it contracted with the village and see if you can buy it in the future. If you can buy it, then buy it." Lin Qing He stated.

They can't buy it now, they can only contract. But in the future, it will definitely not be a problem.

"What Aunt suggests sounds good." Cai Ba Mei with her bulging stomach responded. Her eyes were shining.

"Not bad, right?" Lin Qing He grinned: "Buy some bricks, wall up the yard, and raise two more dogs. It's within the village and close to your maternal house. Who dare not have eyes and act preposterous? Just a shout and they'll arrive. Don't worry at all."

"But my wife is currently pregnant." Zhou Dong looked at his wife's belly.

"Wait until I give birth this year and complete my postnatal confinement, I can raise them." Cai Ba Mei said seriously.

She really felt it was doable because she can handle it.

"However, if you raise more chickens, you must monitor the hygiene. Hospital disinfection water can be used. If not, then use lime powder. If hygiene is done properly, there won't be any problem." Lin Qing He reminded.

"Aunt is right." Cai Ba Mei nodded.

"As for the channel for selling chickens, you can talk to my brother and discuss the price by yourself. I don't understand this, so I won't get involved." Lin Qing He said with a smile.

Cai Ba Mei and Zhou Dong had got in touched with Third Brother Lin last year. They sold more than ten chickens to Third Brother Lin. Because there were so many, the price could be higher. If it was just one or two, it wouldn't be too high. Pretty good deal.

When Lin Qing He left, Zhou Dong discussed the matter with Cai Ba Mei.

"To raise so many, it isn't a good idea?" Zhou Dong hesitated.

"If it's not good, Aunt won't come over and tell us about this. Aunt always takes good care of you." Cai Ba Mei replied with a smile.

Then the candy pack was torn open and divided two between their son and daughter.

In fact, Cai Ba Mei herself wanted to raise more, but she didn't dare to mention it after meticulous pondering. After all, she hadn't forgotten the previous tail-cutting.

But now that Aunt Qing He had come over, she can be reassured. Definitely won't go back to before.

"After the new year ends, I'll go to the village branch secretary and contract the land behind us?" Zhou Dong was one to listen to his wife and responded.

"Contract it then." Cai Ba Mei nodded.

She was about to give birth in four months. She can start working after giving birth.

She can't always let her own man exhaust himself to feed the family, right? She can also help.

When Lin Qing He returned home, she brought up Zhou Dong and his sister to Mother Zhou.

"The two siblings got a fortunate life. They had it bitter when they were young, but now it's the sweetness after the bitterness." Mother Zhou said.

Zhou Dong married Cai Ba Mei. Old Cai Family can help with anything. Who in the village would dare to look down upon them?

Now the couple gave birth to a son and a daughter and have another in their belly. Their lives were prospering.

Zhou Xi married someone in their village. Although it was at the edge of the village, it was still a family with a good reputation. This year, they also contracted a lot of lands. Zhou Xi's man was the youngest son of the family and was a worker.

He followed the group who built houses. The monthly money was almost the same as that of people who work in the city. Moreover, this young man was the kind who dotes his wife. He didn't need Zhou Xi working in the field, just do chores at home.

Life was pretty good.

It used to be difficult when they were children, but now they grew up, it was fine.

Lin Qing He nodded and didn't say much.

When Zhou Qing Bai came back, the family began dinner.

The steamed buns were eaten with soup.

Lin Qing He went to study after eating, while Zhou Qing Bai chopped firewood in the yard.

Mother Zhou and Father Zhou went out to chat with others. After all, it was New Year's Day.

"Since the mischievous boys haven't come back, the house is really deserted." Lin Qing He said after Zhou Qing Bai returned to the room after he was done with the firewood.

Zhou Qing Bai thought she was bored, so he said, "Tomorrow Xiao Mei and the others will come."

Lin Qing He smiled: "There is a phrase in later generations, 'empty-nest, old people'. It's talking about our generation. Qing Bai, we can't have 'empty-nest, old people' in the future."

"We won't." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Make good money now. He will take his wife to travel around in the future, so it won’t be boring.

In fact, Zhou Qing Bai didn't have much feeling about the days to come. He felt that the best days were the days when his wife was by his side. Having his, everything else had no difference.

Despite not minding, he had to let his wife live the life she wanted.

Lin Qing He stopped reading and asked him to sit on the kang. She lolled in his arms and the couple had a private chat.

On the first day of New Year, she initially planned to go over to old Zhou's house to sit. But because of the existence of Second Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He wasn't interested in going there and stayed with Zhou Qing Bai.

"Almost forgot." Lin Qing He suddenly remembered and took the transistor radio out of the space. This was originally intended for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. But after returning, she forgot to take it out. She looked at Zhou Qing Bai, "How to explain?"

"Just left it in the bag and forgot it." Zhou Qing Bai said without paying much heed.

Lin Qing He nodded. Then she asked Zhou Qing Bai to search for a channel to listen to. Zhou Qing Bai adjusted it, and the couple started listening to the radio.

After eight o'clock, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou came back from outside. They noticed a transistor in the hall. The eyes of the two elderly people were bright.

However, youngest son and his wife closed their doors and blew the lights out, so they pushed down the question until the next day.
