Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs-Novel2

Chapter 236. Going to University

It wasn’t that Lin Qing He didn’t want to give others a head up. Other people didn’t have Zhou Xiao Mei’s condition at all.

Zhou Xiao Mei currently had 30 yuan in salary. Su Da Lin had almost 50 yuan. He had been promoted to the position of deputy director.

The two’s salaries were very high.

So if they both only got this much saving, then what about others? Even if she said anything, it was useless.

"I’ll listen to Fourth Sister-in-law." Zhou Xiao Mei said immediately.

Of course, she wants to listen to her fourth sister-in-law.

Back then she was able to enter the current factory, wasn’t it because she listened to her fourth sister-in-law and just stuffed some cans for the director.

And when it was time to marry, didn’t she kicked away the first guy and chose Su Da Lin?

The first one was a bad choice. Her colleague later married him and had a bad life. There were always fights. Really terrible.

Even until now, they were all crowded together.

Zhou Xiao Mei couldn’t imagine, if she had chosen to marry him back then, what life would be like now.

Fortunately, she had listened to her fourth sister-in-law’s words and married Su Da Lin. He does stutter a bit, but there was nothing wrong with that.

Zhou Xiao Mei felt that she had a very blessed life.

All this was due to listening to her fourth sister-in-law. So when her fourth sister-in-law told her to save money, she will save money.

In a month, she can save fifty yuan. A family like hers lived pretty with a total expenditure of thirty yuan a month.

Fifty yuan a month. Six hundred a year. Truly a lot.

Lin Qing He nodded and didn’t say too much. After all, commercial housing won’t be available until the 1990s. There’s still a long time.

As for the courtyard house, Zhou Xiao Mei probably couldn’t afford it, even with the two’s high salaries. The courtyard house in the 1980s cost a few tens of thousands.

Without an unexpected gain, how could it be possible to buy it? However, if they save money to buy commercial ones from the 1990s, it was possible.

Zhou Xiao Mei told Su Da Lin about Lin Qing He’s advice.

Su Da Lin expressed his agreement.

Su Da Lin believed in Lin Qing He, this fourth sister-in-law. The gold halo of college students at this time didn’t need to be said much. It was a golden label.

Especially for Lin Qing He, who was self-taught. It goes without saying how smart her brain was.

Her son, a recent high school graduate couldn’t pass her? So how could her words be wrong?

"Our family... plan to... the electricity to a... a TV..."

Before Su Da Lin finished speaking, Zhou Xiao Mei knew what he meant. She replied: "Not buying. The boys can take a few popsicles and go next door to watch."

Zhou Xiao Mei could tell that her fourth sister-in-law wants to stay in the capital in the future. Zhou Xiao Mei was excited thinking about it.

She also wants to go to Beijing.

But achieving it was obviously not an easy task. Especially when it required money. So they must continue to save money first.

As for the TV sets, she didn’t plan to buy it.

Lin Qing He took a look at the family’s fortunes. Counting the scholarship this time and those earned over the years, she still had a total of five thousand five hundred yuan in her pocket.

Lin Qing He left five hundred yuan to the family. The five hundred yuan was handed to Zhou Qing Bai.

"Just spend it, don’t save. You know how much money we have. Understand?" Lin Qing He gave the money to Zhou Qing Bai. She also gave some coupons as she directed.

Zhou Qing Bai looked at her: "I will send you there."

"Okay." Lin Qing He responded.

Only then, Zhou Qing Bai took the money and put it away.

Lin Qing He and Da Wa got to register on March 8th on the dot. They need to bring their documents. Lin Qing He had this all sorted before departure. Only then at the end of February, she and Zhou Qing Bai took the Da Wa over to the capital by train.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou sent them off at the entrance of the village. They were all reluctant to part. Mother Zhou even stuffed Lin Qing He a hundred yuans. She persisted that she should keep it with her red eyes. action

Some people that they had a good relationship in the village came out to give their farewell.

Some other people didn’t come out because they badmouth Lin Qing He when she didn’t plan to teach other educated youths.

Old Zhou family didn’t care at all.

After taking the train for a few days, they arrived at the capital.

After coming over, Zhou Qing Bai sent the mother and son to Bei University. Zhou Qing Bai wasn’t in a hurry to go back. Lin Qing He didn’t want him to go back so soon either as classes hadn’t started.

Once he is gone, it will take a semester before she sees him again.

They checked in first and put all the luggage in the dormitory. Then the family of three began to set up things.

This year was ’78. Da Wa was fourteen years old. This year he can exceed 1.8 meters in size.

However, he was still shorter than Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai was about 1.85 meters tall. In the future, he will be taller than his father.

This time Da Wa brought a quilt. Lin Qing He too. Both weighed about six jins. There was also a cotton-padded mattress.

Even if it gets colder again, they won’t freeze.

The rest were padded jackets, sweaters, gloves, etc.., as well as those for summer. It was all brought over.

There were also supplies such as toothpaste, toothbrush, washbasin, and hot water bottle.

So the family of three sorted these things. Then Da Wa had been shooed away, that way Lin Qing He and Zhou Qingbai had their own space.

Lin Qing He pulled Zhou Qing Bai directly over and opened a room.

After the marriage certificate and the household registration was shown as proofs, the couple went in and had a round of lovey-dovey.

It can’t be helped. Once Zhou Qing Bai return, who knows how long they’ll have to wait. So it was better to squeeze him dry this time.

When next time comes, he’ll be full of energy again.

Zhou Qing Bai missed her too. So he indulged for a while. As for when he returned, his whole body showed his dispiritedness.

Everyone in the village automatically assigned ’his wife gone to university’ as the reason for it.

After all, he and his two sons were the only ones left in the family. The eldest son and his wife had both gone to college. How can he get accustomed to this?

It was inevitable to be slightly down.

What they never thought was that Zhou Qing Bai, a serious person, got to this state was because he became over-indulgent as well as hadn’t eaten much on the train.

At the same time, the requirements for the second college entrance examination came out.

For a while, Zhoujia village was all over the place.

"Did Teacher Lin hear about this news a long time ago, so she didn’t want to teach ?" Some families with educated youths as the son/daughter-in-law, who were persisting for a divorce, recalled the previous incident with Lin Qing He.

Everyone else also came back to their senses one after another. Then they began to praise Teacher Lin for thinking about the people in the village.

Old Zhou family didn’t buy it. Their attitude was rather neutral.
