Chapter 217. County's number 1

She knew her own man. Even though he was late, he wouldn't do anything wrong to her.

"It's nothing." Zhou Qing Bai changed his pants and snuggled up with his wife to sleep.

Lin Qing He had an urge. After sleeping a bit, she gained a lot more energy. So, she had the desire to get him to do something naughty?

Zhou Qing Bai chuckled and cave in for a round. Lin Qing He was satisfied and hugged her man to sleep.

The next day she heard of what happened last night.

Last night someone was bold enough to steal food from the sun-drying yard.

There was always someone guarding the sun-drying yard every day. Unexpectedly, someone actually was found stealing food last night.

Zhou Qing Bai was swimming. When he caught a wisp of this news, he went to help. What's more, the thief was an old acquaintance.

It wasn't someone else, it was Zhou He who was turned into a eunuch because of adultery.

The roots of his life have been trampled broken by others. Now this man was willing to go all. Refusing to do any work and commit any wicked thing.

This wasn't the first time.

According to the sun-drying yard guard, there seems to be some movement in the middle of the night since the beginning of the summer harvest. But because he took a nap while guarding, he thought it was an illusion.

Probably because of this, Zhou He's courage had fattened up. Well what do you know, he wanted to get more. So the movement became louder this time. It happened that someone went to relieve himself in the middle of the night and ran into him.

Zhou He bolted off. He was quite unlucky. He encountered the leader's son and old Second Cai from old Cai Family, who were about to change s.h.i.+fts.

So he was caught.

It was far away from the houses, so the noise wasn't heard.

Zhou Qing Bai had noticed some activity from the riverside and went to check. Since he encountered it, he spectated the interrogation of Zhou He to confess his stealing food process.

That's why he came back late.

Zhou He had been escorted away early today.

How can he not be taken away? At this time, the most taboo thing was to commit this. Zhou He had a previous offense. Now he was breaking the already broken jar and stole food. What's more, it was stealing hundreds of jins.

If he wasn't severely punished, it'll start another repet.i.tion of this. How terrible it'll be in the future?

So Zhou He met a miserable fate. This time he was sent to rehabilitate. His life won't fare any better.

Because of this, the villagers criticized Zhou He's family. The whole family really lost all their face.

After Lin Qing He heard this matter, she dropped it. She delivered the food over in the afternoon.

Lunch wasn't Liangpi. She will cook it in the evening. For lunch, they had mantou, a plate of bean sprout, and fried pork with green pepper. Also a boiled egg for each person. There was a box of spare ribs and seaweed soup.

The rest was a pot of mung bean soup. It was placed in a military bottle, so they can drink it when they want by pouring it out into a bowl.

Even though the summer harvest wasn't as tiring as the autumn harvest, it still can't be underestimated. Especially since the sun was really vicious.

Have to say, the bigger the sun, the happier everyone was. That's because the grain can be dried quickly after it was harvested and be filled into sacks to hand in public grain.

After paying public rations, everyone's hearts can settle down. In this era, it was shameful to be not able to pay the public rations and had to eat relief rations. Everywhere they go, they had no face to see people.

This summer, Zhou Qing Bai was looking forward to catching rabbits. Unfortunately, there were no rabbits to catch, because he didn't see any rabbits. Others did, but they couldn't react in time.

This made the children feel disappointed. They were used to eating rabbits. Every summer and autumn harvest, they get to eat rabbits. This summer harvest, there was none.

The adults didn't mind, They were pinning their hope on collecting the grain quickly because the weather looked like it was going to rain again.

The summer harvest was swiftly completed in half a month. This year's harvest was a little lower than last year. Still, it wasn't too low. At least everyone won't go hungry. It was still possible to eat until this autumn harvest.

There will be more mature grains. At that time, they will get allocated more.

A few days after the grain was harvested, everyone immediately planted a new batch of seeds. This was linked to the autumn harvest.

The weather was acting up. Not long after the seeds were sown, it rained heavily.

This saved everyone from the ch.o.r.e of watering. Everyone can rest too.

At the same time, Da Wa's grades for high school entrance examination came out. Initially, Lin Qing He reckoned that his result won't be terrible.

However, she didn't expect that he could get the first place in the county.

When the news came, Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He, the parents were still very calm. While Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, the grandparents were over the moon.

County's number one. Their grandson got first place in the county during the entrance examination. There were so many junior school students in the whole county and it was their grandson who ranked first.

How can this not make them elated?

Even the leader personally came to congratulate him and said old Zhou family was going to produce a college student.

If the number one in the county can't enter college, what kind of ability can go to college?

And because of Da Wa's excellent grades, the county's school won't charge him tuition if he goes to the county school.

There was no scholars.h.i.+p, just made it tuition-free.

Still, this was better than nothing.

Compared with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, who treated Da Wa like the apple of their eyes, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai, the parents were more composed.

"Don't be too proud. Keep working hard." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai was also satisfied with his eldest son this time. The chances of him going to college with his mother in the future increased.

Da Wa was a little excited, but after the excitement, he returned to normal.

He knew that the reason why he was able to gain the advantage this time was all due to his mother. Although the questions given by the mother weren't exactly the same as the exam, they were similar.

Especially the last main problem in mathematics. It wasn't easy, but he still solved it. He felt that the reason why he was able to stand out this time got to do with that question.

The villagers' thought was also very obvious.

For example, Mrs. Cai came to visit that day. She bought over a basket of soybeans to pick, while Lin Qing He was drying the sesame paste. The crushed sesame paste was very popular in the family.

"Da Wa is eleven this year." Mrs. Cai mentioned.

Lin Qing He didn't think too much at first. She wasn't so narcissistic and believed people came to visit just to target her son and said: "Yes. Now his appet.i.te is larger than his father. Once the two behind him grows up, I'll be worried about not being able to support them."

"These young teens can really eat their father poor. This is the phrase for this situation." Mrs. Cai smiled upon hearing this.

Lin Qing He laughed.

Mrs. Cai continued again: "My third granddaughter is about the same age as Da Wa. She's also diligent and honest. Very filial to the elders."

Lin Qing He realized after hearing this: "That one called Xiao Cha, right?"

"Yes." Mrs. Cai broke into a grin: "Da Wa's mother, what do you think of Xiao Cha?"
