Chapter 245. Future in-law's mother
However, the people here in the capital had very good noses. There was gold in the black market, but the price was pretty dear.
Originally, Lin Qing He wanted to buy it. But the price wasn't a small sum, so she just didn't buy it.
She got a few pieces of jade instead. And the quality was quite good.
"Don't want gold?" the man asked.
"Don't want. So expensive. You can keep it and sell it yourself." Lin Qing He said without reservation.
"What about calligraphy and paintings? These ones are remains of the past. All antiques. They will definitely be especially valuable in the future." The man assured.
"Hehe, it's very valuable. When my family runs out of charcoal in winter, I'll use this to keep warm." Lin Qing He casually responded.
That person probably found it useless to keep these things. Gold can be said to be valuable. But for now, calligraphy and painting were really worthless.
"If you want it, there is some gold. You can have it for a total of two hundred yuan." This person probably saw that Lin Qing He didn't want it, and said.
"One hundred." Lin Qing He lowered the price.
In the end, it was one hundred and fifty yuan. Lin Qing He got a gold bracelet, a ring, and two pieces of calligraphy and painting. She didn't know what it was like. It did look ancient.
When there was no one, she withdrew it into the space to store.
Then she left the black market. As for other things, she didn't ask for it anymore, because they were all expensive. Not one bit easily fooled like their county city side.
Lin Qing He didn't have any income now. Only accumulated a sum of money in the space. Still, Lin Qing He wasn't worried at all.
Once it reaches '80, it will be time for her to make money.
She just needed to set aside some capital. After all, she still got a lot of money in her pocket. The grain and pork work over the years wasn't done in vain.
When Lin Qing He got back, Zhou Kai came to look for her. He brought her a food box.
It was pigeon soup. He bought it, brought it to his classmate's house, and asked his classmate's mother to stew it.
He left half over there and took the other half to his mother.
Lin Qing He was moved and said, "Then I won't be reserved with you."
Then she drank the pigeon soup. As for the pigeon meat, she let her eldest son eat it. She didn't like it much.
"Mother, you are too skinny. You got to eat more. I will bring you soup every week from now on." Zhou Kai said.
"Where did you get the money?" Lin Qing He asked.
The money she gave to him was only so much.
"My classmate and I went to help people paint. We get paid." Zhou Kai said.
Lin Qing He stated: "Not allowed to disrupt your study."
"It won't. We only went there after we properly revised. Don't worry." Zhou Kai said.
Lin Qing He nodded. Then she gave him a yuan for him to spend and went back.
Her son's filial piety must be accepted. However, she shouldn't be too tight. It was better to let her son have some pocket money.
Zhou Kai really planned to bring a soup over for his mother, Lin Qing He to drink and nourish her mother since that day.
It was either chicken soup or fish soup. There was always something.
Wang Li was very envious: "Your son is too filial."
"You see his filial side. When he was a kid and was so mischievous, I often get heartburn." Lin Qing He voiced her complaint, but a smile was pasted on her face. She jokingly scolded: "This stinky boy finally let me see my payback."
Wang Li also chuckled.
It wasn't just Wang Li who was envious.
Zhou Kai's local classmate's mother was especially envious.
This was old Weng Family, whose surname was Weng.
Mother Weng talked to Father Weng about this: "This kid can't be praised enough. He brings something here once a week and got me to help stew it to nourish his mother's body. I have two sons and two daughters. None of them is this caring."
What's more, he was very sensible. If he brought a whole one, he would leave half. If he brought a half, he would only take the soup.
Sometimes she would keep it, other times she let him take it away.
"To go to college at this age, his mother must have given him a lot of training." Father Weng said.
Father Weng knew Zhou Kai. His son's classmate would come to the house from time to time. He was certainly an excellent child.
"Old Weng, don't you have any thoughts in your heart?" Mother Weng whispered.
"What thoughts?" Father Weng really didn't think anything. It was just a classmate of his child. No big deal.
Although he wasn't bad, his two sons were equally brilliant.
Eldest son was now a soldier, serving as a squad leader. He may become a platoon leader further along the line.
As for the youngest son, he was currently a freshman at Bei University. It was especially face-gaining. So Father Weng felt that there was really nothing to envy.
"Really a blockhead. With how Xiao Kai is, have you never thought about letting him be our son-in-law?" Mother Weng had to say it herself, seeing that he didn't get it.
"You think too far." Father Weng disgruntledly look at his wife when he heard the words.
The children were only fourteen years old. Even if eighteen was the legal marriage age, there were still a few years' time. It was unknown how much change there will be.
"How is it too far? We were also early back then. Didn't you know to give me a bunch of things to eat at the age of thirteen?" Mother Weng responded.
Father Weng coughed dryly and said: "That girl Mei Jia has her own idea. Don't worry about it. If they have that mind, he'll come to the house often and have their own plans. Us adult, getting involved might ruin it and backfires."
"You're not against it?" Mother Weng brought this up to her man today, wasn't to get her youngest girl to marry her son's classmate on the spot. It was just to get some advice.
"Seems pretty decent, but not clear about his family's side," replied Father Weng.
As far as Zhou Kai as an individual concerned, he really couldn't pick a fault. What's more, he was only fourteen years old. He was about the same height as him. A really sturdy boy.
From the look of it, the education he had received since childhood was also good. So if it was just Zhou Kai himself, then Father Weng had no objection.
But getting married wasn't a matter between two youths themselves. There were also the families of both parties.
"I heard Jia Dong say that his mother is a very straightforward person. And she is brilliant at English. She is number one in the English department." Mother Weng said.
Then she became a little unconfident. If they really do get together, the future in-law's mother would be really amazing.
Even if she got a household registration in the capital, she can't be proud of it. Because of the other's status as a college student. It wasn't really difficult to relocate their household registration.
"It's only reached here now. Don't think about it so much. If you really want to check it out, find some time to send something to Jia Dong and stop by to have a look." Father Weng said.
He felt that his wife was needlessly worrying. But he didn't dare to say that, otherwise he wouldn't sleep tonight.
