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

Chapter 205. Father Zhou got sick

Cai Ba Mei married in at the beginning of this year and gave Zhou Dong a son at the end of this year. Have to say, it was quite a capability.

The first child was a son. No matter if the future kids were a girl or a boy, she didn’t have to worry about it.

Lin Qing He had visited Cai Ba Mei. She brought over half a catty of brown sugar.

Since she was married within her own village, Mrs. Cai came to serve her during the post-natal confinement. Even though Zhou Xi was available and hardworking, she didn’t have the knowledge to look after her.

Now that it was the off-peak season and this year’s weather was especially cold, Mrs. Cai had to help. If not, what if there an accident happens?

When Lin Qing He came over, Mrs. Cai was there.

Seeing that she brought half a catty of brown sugar over, she jotted down in her heart and said, "Teacher Lin, why bring so much brown sugar? Leave it for Da Wa and his brothers. I had prepared it for Ba Mei a long time ago."

"You are you. I’m giving it to Zhou Dong’s wife." Lin Qing He replied with a smile.

Mrs. Cai knew that she had a good relationship with Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi, so she didn’t say anything and accepted with a smile.

Cai Ba Mei was sleeping at the moment. Lin Qing He had a short conversation with Mrs. Cai before returning home.

"Teacher Lin is really thoughtful." Mrs. Cai remarked.

"Auntie has always been very good to us." Zhou Xi nodded.

Many things were taught to her by Auntie. Like protecting herself, caring for herself, keeping hygiene and sanitary standards, and handling menstrual affairs for the first time. These were all taught by Lin Qing He.

Occasionally when she went there, Auntie would also grab a handful of red dates for her to eat. She urged her to eat more red dates to replenish blood, which was good for her body.

Even though she didn’t understand, Auntie also taught her some soups. After that, she frequently made it for her sister-in-law. Probably due to a wonderful diet during her pregnancy, her nephew was born with thick and plentiful of hairs.

He was more than six jins.

Lin Qing He didn’t intervene in these matters too much. With the experienced Mrs. Cai, there won’t be any chaos.

Still, Cai Ba Mei was great at picking the time.

During the period for meat distribution, she gave birth. Wasn’t this perfect timing? Meat was indispensable during the post-natal confinement. The baby’s rations will be sufficient and her physique will improve. It won’t be easy to catch a cold or something.

The past two days, Lin Qing He had been making braised porks.

Braised pork head meat. That is so scrumptious.

The cooked braised pork made the whole family feel satisfied. Lin Qing He mentioned to Zhou Qing Bai in the evening: "If things don’t work out in the future, I will open a braised pork shop. What do you think?"

In her previous life, her culinary was above average. After coming here, her main task was to make good food and didn’t need to focus on anything else.

So, her culinary got better day by day.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled and put his wife in his embrace: "If open, it should be me doing it. You can collect the money in the store."

Lin Qing He imagined the future with him.

As for Zhou Qing Bai’s thoughts on what the future will be like. Before his wife told him, he would have never imagined that the current country would develop into what his wife described in just a few decades.

It was simply a fantasy.

After all, not everyone knows if they can fill their stomach.

For example, this year, if everyone didn’t rush to grab the harvest quickly and got all the harvesting, drying, and ration paying completed before the autumn rain came down, then everyone won’t have the mood for the New Year.

And not all production teams were as engaged as their production team.

When Zhou Qing Bai participated in the meeting with the leader and the others this year, he saw that the production teams of other communities were late to rush the harvest and the autumn rain came down so fast. How much grain wasn’t collected?

What did incompleted harvest mean? It meant that all the hard work had been done in vain. It also meant that in such cold weather this year, many people will probably be not able to eat.

In fact, a lot news from outside these days was about that some elderly people getting frozen. Not having enough food was one of the biggest reasons. If it weren’t for that, it won’t be so easy to get frozen to a dangerous level.

Compared with the present, the future he heard from his wife had Zhou Qing Bai feeling a surge of emotion. It’ll be great if the country really become so strong.

In the middle of the night, Mother Zhou rushed over to bang the door.

It turned out that Father Zhou had a fever.

It was fine at first, but somehow he suddenly got a fever.

The old man was sixty-five after the New Year this year. His body had always been pretty good, especially since Lin Qing He knew that it was going to be very cold this year and provide supplements for his body. Unexpectedly, Father Zhou still caught a fever.

Fortunately, Lin Qing He was always prepared. She had stored fever medicine in her space.

"These were all bought back from the black market at high prices for an emergency. Never thought it’ll be of use. Quickly give it to Father." Lin Qing He stuffed it to Zhou Qing Bai.

Of course, Zhou Qing Bai knew that this medicine was from the future. Eldest Brother and others had yet to see what the medicine looked like when Zhou Qing Bai swiftly fed it to Father Zhou.

He alone only needed to know about his wife’s matter. The others didn’t need to know.

That box of medicines Line Qing He bought, in the beginning, was totaled up to half of her savings. So naturally, it was all genuine and the best medicines.

Father Zhou took the medicine and had a warm compress applied to him until it was a little past one., The fever subsided then.

Lin Qing He got Zhou Qing Bai to feed it again. With this, she can relax.

"This time, it’s all thanks to Fourth’s wife. The four of us can split the medicine cost equally." Eldest Brother said with a sigh of relief.

Second Brother and Third Brother also nodded their heads. Had to split evenly.

"Father lives here. I hope that three brothers can give more care. As for the medicine money, there is no need." Lin Qing He said.

"How can that do?" Second Brother responded. action

"It should be given." Third Brother also expressed.

"It’s pretty late. Everyone go back and rest." Lin Qing He just shook her head and said.

The next morning, she cooked lotus seed rib congee.

The ribs were from the meat distribution. The lotus seeds were purchased. The cooked porridge was very revitalizing and suitable for Father Zhou to have.

It was delivered by Zhou Qing Bai.

The boys heard that their grandfather was sick and joined their father.

Despite the severity of the sickness and the scare, Father Zhou had to admit he can feel the care of his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

Wasn’t this what people desire most when they live to this age? Even if one was physically unwell, they also hope to not get disdained.

With this event, this old man was very satisfied.

After drinking the pork ribs and lotus seed congee delivered by his youngest son, Father Zhou was still not very energetic, but he did recover a little bit. After a few days of care, he will be able to return to the original form.
