Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 208 Pheasant

Chapter 208. Pheasant

"This Second's wife is a little too prudent, Xia Xia's clothes aren't warm. Why didn't she make a thick one." Mother Zhou turned to Father Zhou.

"It's much better than their father back then." Father Zhou didn't care.

The grandchildren had it much better now than their fathers' generation. At least they can still eat 70% to 80% full.

In the past, being able to eat half full was pretty good.

"It's much better than then." Mother Zhou agreed as it was the truth.

Father Zhou said: "Don't compare Xia Xia with Da Wa and his brothers. Let alone our village, some children in the city may not be able to live better than them."

This was the truth. From all the children Father Zhou had seen in his life, none can be like his grandchildren like Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa.

There were no words for this lifestyle.

It was said that the children in the city were blessed, but Father Zhou felt that no matter how blessed they were, they can't beat Da Wa and his brothers.

When Mother Zhou heard this, she didn't say anything.

She was slightly brainwashed by Fourth's wife. Now she thought about it, wasn't this the case.

Which children in the village weren't raised in such a hungry and cold manner. Certainly can't compare with Da Wa and his brothers.

As the source of envy for all children in the village, Da Wa and his brothers' life was pretty great

But as Da Wa said, one must bear the weight of the crown.

For example, right now. Da Wa started to study straight after eating breakfast. Even when it was the first day of the new year, studying continued as usual.

It was too cold this year. It was so cold that no one wanted to get together. They all stayed in their own homes.

As for Er Wa and San Wa, they were better off. Since they won't make it in time, Lin Qing He won't force them. They were quite free.

The two brothers didn't stay still. Seeing that it wasn't snowing outside, they ran out to play.

Zhou Qing Bai couldn't take it easy. He went out to see if he can hunt any pheasant or rabbit.

As soon Er Wa and San Wa heard this, they stopped playing and immediately followed their father out.

Hunting pheasants and hares in winter were one of their bigger joy.

Da Wa wanted to go too.

"Endure this year. Wait until the second year of junior high school, you can study normally without skipping grades." Lin Qing He comforted him.

Da Wa was very sensible. He was already eleven years old this year. He had grown very fast. He was already a little over one meter sixty. Just slightly shorter than Lin Qing He.

He looked a lot like Zhou Qing Bai, his father. Slightly mature looking, looking more like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old.

According to later generations' words, his development is quite rushed.

Truthfully, it wasn't.

Da Wa was the same type as his father, very attractive.

At seventeen or eighteen, he will look old, like he is in his twenties. But once he is over twenty-five years old, then his advantages will emerge. Very appealing to the eyes and becomes more handsome.

For example, she always gets put under a spell by Zhou Qing Bai.

Handsome and tall. In the whole village, no one can match her edge-cutting man.

Even Chen Shan, the sc.u.mbag, can't even touch her Qing Bai's shoes.

Speaking of Chen Shan, this guy finally knew to keep a distance from her. When he first joined the school, he frequently used the excuse of seeking study guidance.

She didn't give him any attention at all. Now that her son entered junior high school, what do you know, he knew to keep a distance?

Otherwise, his feeble body definitely won't be able to withstand her Qing Bai's fist.

But had to admit, Chen Shan was indeed a smooth talker and his knowledge was also quite broad. He had sniffed out that it was very likely for the college entrance examination to resume, so he had been reading and studying in private.

If she had guessed it right, Chen Shan hadn't leaked a word to other people within the educated youth group.

This guy knew how to scheme. No wonder that after the college entrance examination resumed, he was in the first batch to pa.s.s the exam. Out of so many places in the area, he was the only one to pa.s.s the exam.

Was this not cool?

However, it's not happening this time. Both she and her son will pa.s.s. Chen Shan won't be the sole one anymore

Lin Qing He got Da Wa to continue his studies. Then she made a pot of sesame peanut soup for Da Wa to eat with red bean rolls.

Of course, she didn't forget to get Da Wa to send a portion to his grandparents. Treat it as an exercise.

"I just saw the boys (Er Wa and San Wa) and their father went out to catch pheasants. Why didn't you go?" Mother Zhou asked him.

"I still have some homework to do." Da Wa said.

"Don't need to exhaust yourself. If you can't pa.s.s the second year entrance exam, it's fine to continue to the first year." Mother Zhou said.

"Huh? Da Wa is going to the second year? Didn't you only enter first year?" Eldest Sister-in-law just came over and exclaimed in a surprise.

"I plan to skip a grade this year and jump up to the second year." Da Wa just said.

"This... can you keep up?" Eldest Sister Zhou couldn't help but utter.

"My mother is giving me supplement lessons. It should be possible." Da Wa responded.

His mother focused on the key area, so even though there are a lot of modules in junior high school, it wasn't really tiring to learn. After all, there was nothing to pa.s.s the time apart from studying.

Not staying any longer, Da Wa went back.

Eldest Sister-in-law had an envious expression: "If Yang Yang can be like Da Wa, I will be satisfied."

Her eldest son Yang Yang was eight years old this year. Just one year younger than Er Wa. However, she planned for him to start school this year. She and Eldest Brother didn't understand, so they cannot teach him at home like Lin Qing He.

If too small, he won't understand when he gets sent over. So they plan to send him this year.

After all, seven-year-old San Wa will be in the next semester of first grade this year. Her son can't lag too far behind.

Speaking of which, Eldest Sister-in-law really envied Lin Qing He, this sister-in-law.

There was no harmony before, but now she blended in, the few of them can't catch up with her.

Mother Zhou didn't put Eldest Sister-in-law down by saying old Zhou family didn't have the gene. Da Wa's studying skills were brought by their mother, so it's better to let Yang Yang work hard.

Such rare creatures like college students, the more the better.

On the same day, Zhou Qing Bai returned with Er Wa and San Wa with two pheasants in tow.

Lin Qing He was pleasantly surprised: "Why are there two?"

"One was discovered by Father, and the other was discovered by me!" San Wa said immediately.

The little guy was quite ecstatic. Two pheasants, gonna be a big feast!

"Good job." Lin Qing He exclaimed and then asked Zhou Qing Bai to clean it up.

Out of the two pheasants, they'll have one. The other will be reserved for the sons-in-law's visit on the second day of the New Year tomorrow. It counted as a big dish.

On the third day, Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law, as well as Eldest Sister and Eldest Brother-in-law came over.

They originally wanted to bring the children with them this year. However, it was too cold and there weren't enough warm clothes. That's why only the adults came and none of the children.

So this pheasant was chopped and braised with soaked fungus. A large pot of vegetables was fried. One plate was left at home. The rest was instructed by Lin Qing He to Zhou Qing Bai to bring it to old Zhou House. She also had Zhou Qing Bai join them.
