Chapter 425. Old Zhou Family's improvement
Lin Qing He wasn't bringing Zhou Si Ni over to marry Weng Guo Dong.
Of course, it wouldn't be bad if a union could be formed. After all, Weng Family’s family environment was really good. The family background was also great. The daughter-in-law won't have it hard when she enters the door.
Lin Qing He didn't take it seriously.
Back then with Da Ni, she can forget it. At that time, her family hadn't come here yet. However, the kids behind were actually brought out to see the world and gain insights. It was beneficial.
Of course, the premise that they behave.
However, with Xu Sheng Mei as precedent, Lin Qing He was hesitating on bringing Zhou Si Ni over.
Of course, whether it was Eldest Sister-in-law or Zhou Si Ni, she watched them grew up and had got along with each other for so many years. Everyone knew each other well.
But because of suffering from Xu Sheng Mei's block, Lin Qing He didn't mention it straight away.
In May, Lin Qing He had a phone call with Eldest Sister-in-law.
She often talked on the phone with Eldest Sister-in-law. At least once or twice a month. Eldest Sister-in-law sometimes called her office.
After all, she was the first branch. As the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, they should call to check up on Father Zhou and Mother Zhou who lived here now once or twice a month. They didn't need to consume any expense, so it was only right to call.
During the phone call, Eldest Sister-in-law told her on the phone: "Yesterday Third Brother came back and told me to let you know. See if it’s not convenient. If it is, buy him a motorcycle back from the south side during the summer break."
"He thought it through?" Lin Qing He smiled.
During the trip last summer, she and Zhou Qing Bai brought one back for her brother. It cost more than 700 yuan, which was indeed not cheap.
At that time, both Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law were hesitating. Lin Qing He left them be and let them think by themselves. Now, they thought it through.
"They had. You don't know how glorious it is for your brother. That motorcycle can make one obsess for a while." Eldest Sister-in-law merrily spoke.
Motorcycles in the early 1980s were certainly rare, especially in the countryside. If in the city, it was normal enough. After all, some people have small cars. Motorcycles weren't extremely rare.
Still, it wasn't often seen.
After Third Brother Lin owned a motorcycle last year, he really came and went like the wind.
Not only were there more things loaded each time, but the most important thing was that he wasn't that tired.
Riding a bicycle to and from the city once or twice wasn't a problem. However, this was all year round. Even when one can endure hardship at this time, the body can't stand it.
And since having such a motorcycle, Third Brother Lin, the capable businessman, headed to a reservoir farther away. There had a family that raised many ducks.
He went to collect duck eggs, ducks, and live fish from them. The whole shop got more variety.
Business naturally went up. Due to the motorbike, he wasn't so tired.
While Third Brother, he was pedaling his bike. It was fine if he was doing the same as Third Brother Lin. Now that the distance widened, his mind began to move.
But motorcycles were too expensive. A shop only cost that much and this was more than 700.
So Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law still hesitated. Until a few days before Lin Qing He and Eldest Sister-in-law talked on the phone.
Third Brother asked a man, who came to buy chicken on a motorcycle, how much that motorcycle cost?
He said that he didn't buy it himself, but rather his friend brought it from the south. One cost eleven hundred.
Both Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law heard it. On the spot, they only remarked that the vehicle looked really majestic and so on. When the guy left, they slapped their tongues.
Only then, the couple knew how kind old Fourth and Fourth's wife were.
Not a penny was earned. How much they bought in the south was how much was charged. Look at guy's friend, they made almost four hundred after the change of hands. Simply treating people as fat sheep.
Because there was such an event and from seeing Third Brother Lin;s business prosper after the motorcycle, Third Brother gritted his teeth. When he went to the countryside to collect produces, he talked to Eldest Sister-in-law.
Lin Qing He agreed. As for whether the motorcycle will increase in price, it didn't matter. How much it was was how much it'll be. There was no need to deliberately pay the same price as her brother.
There shouldn't be too much of a difference.
"I will leave you with a batch of pickled duck eggs this year. When you come, take them to the capital to eat." Eldest Sister-in-law jollily mentioned when they were about to hang up.
"Then I won't hold back with Eldest Sister-in-law." Lin Qing He smilingly replied.
"What is there to hold back." Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.
Both sisters-in-law hung up. Eldest Sister-in-law paid the village branch secretary’s wife the phone bill and smiled: "Using this quite frequently. I'm sorry."
"No need to be. It sounds like you sisters-in-law have such a good relationship. We don't see it often in our village." The village secretary's wife smilingly remarked.
Today's old Zhou family got a very good reputation in Zhoujia Village. It wasn't like they didn't give money. It was just making some phone calls, not a big deal.
Eldest Sister-in-law made some polite comments before heading back.
The village branch secretary's wife said to the village branch secretary, "Only the second branch in this sixth uncle's family doesn't make progress. The other three branches are all developing for better."
"What are you saying. Isn't the second branch doing okay?" the village party secretary responded as he smoked a big cigarette.
The village branch secretary's wife didn't comment. They had their own family matters to complete, so how could she care about other people's affairs.
Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother moved into the new house at the end of last year. They used the old Zhou's place as firewood storage. Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law's whole family only come back for a few days during the New Year.
Now, only the second branch was left over there.
When Third Brother went to the countryside to collect vegetables and eggs, Eldest Sister-in-law told him about it.
"Then I have really trouble old Fourth and Fourth's wife." Third Brother replied with a smile.
He knew that it wasn't easy. After all, was bringing it back from a place so far in the south an easy task? But he had no way of doing it himself, so he could only rely on old Fourth.
Eldest Sister-in-law didn't say much. She mentioned Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were doing well over there.
"Qiang Zi went there. How is it now?" Third Brother continued.
Eldest Sister-in-law was stunned: "When did Qiang Zi go to the capital?"
"A while now. Eldest Sister-in-law, did you not know?" Third Brother said.
"I didn't hear Qing He mention it." Eldest Sister-in-law shook her head and asked, "Did Qing He let him go, or what?"
"I don't know. First Sister had sent Qiang Zi to the stop and dropped by my place." Third Brother explained.
Eldest Sister-in-law nodded. When her second daughter called back, she would ask her second daughter what's going on then. How could Qiang Zi watch the shop with his temperament? It would be easy for him to get into conflict with others.
