Chapter 216. Liangpi

The village’s summer harvest horn had sounded, but Da Wa and other second-year students had no time to participate.

That's because they will participate in the entrance examination in early July.

At this time the entrance examination was held in the city.

Lin Qing He's first year had long started their break. All the first year students joined in the summer harvest. That morning, Lin Qing He gave Da Wa a lift over. She set out ahead of time.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived, the second year's teachers were already waiting with their respective classes.

Seeing Lin Qing He bring Da Wa, Da Wa's homeroom teacher was relieved. She hoped that Da Wa could get a good place in the exam. If he ranked highly in the county, she won't get any bonus as the teacher. However, the school would gain a lot of faces.

At this time, the high school entrance examination didn't take two days like the later generations. It was completed in one day.

When Da Wa came out, Lin Qing He was already waiting. Today she came to accompany him. At this time, there was an addition of a big watermelon behind the bicycle.

"Mother, we have finished the exam." Naturally, Da Wa was delighted. He was the only one in the school that got this treatment. His mother was with him all day.

Lin Qing He had become a role model from future generations, accompanying kids on their exam. Have to say, it was very hard as there was nothing else to do.

She wondered around the black market and sold pork after her son went in. After a whole day, she was tired.

So Da Wa offered to cycle her back.

"Okay." Lin Qing He knew her eldest son's capability. It's just a bike. He can ride it when he was eight years old.

Now he was eleven years old and almost 1.65 meters tall. Just a little shorter than Lin Qing He. Soon he will surpass her.

So Da Wa took his mother home. On the way, they encountered other teachers.

Watching the mother and son go back, the other teachers' expression displayed envy: "Teacher Lin really knows how to teach children."

"Who would disagree. Her education is excellent and even personally came to accompany him."

"It's too costly. I heard that Zhou Kai currently drinks two bottles of milk every day."

How much did it cost for two bottles of milk a day? Half of the salary was spent on this. What's more, it was said that the other children were also given this. This cost a lot.

However, there wasn't much they can say. She was willing to feed her sons, so what can they say?

When the mother and son returned home, it was still early. Lin Qing He chilled the watermelon, while Da Wa rode the bicycle to the field.

At his time, he can still help out for more than an hour. How much he worked was how much work point he got.

The more this kid grows up now, the more he knew he had to help the family.

Because he knew very well that the family had no money. All the money in the family was spent on food and drink for them brothers.

Lin Qing He was preparing the meal at home.

It was better to make something simple today. So after some pondering, Lin Qing He made Liangpi.

It's not difficult to make Liangpi. It's just time and energy-consuming. Lin Qing He didn't mind. There was nothing to do at home now, so what problem was there to let them eat something good?

After the completion of the Liangpi, Lin Qing He fried a few more eggs, picked a handful of cowpeas, washed all the cowpeas, chopped them, fried them, and mixed them with the scrambled eggs when they were cooked. A spoon was placed on the side for whoever wanted to scoop some to mix with the Liangpi.

If they found the taste too light, they can also scoop a spoon of chili sauce. There was still a jar of last year's chili sauce left, which was delicious.

Lin Qing He herself had some craving. Still, she waited for the family to come back.

Once she was done and looked at the time, it was only six. Because the day darkened late and they were racing against time, they got off work at six. The soonest they can get home was around half past six.

Lin Qing He went to clean up the pigpen and chicken coop. After cleaning up, she took a bath again. Her whole body was refreshed and fragrant. Only then did Zhou Qing Bai, Father Zhou, and the kids returned.

"Dinner time." Lin Qing He washed her hair today. Her hair was still dripping. She grabbed a towel to bind her hair, and then served the Liangpi.

"Mother, what is this?" San Wa said with brightened eyes.

"Delicious stuff!" Su Cheng's eyes also lit up.

"Eat, eat." His younger brother Su Xun had grown a lot. He can utter simple pronunciation. This 'eat' was especially clear.

"Wash your face and hands, then come over and eat Laingpi." Lin Qinghe waved her hand.

There was no habit of eating Liangpi here. Still, this novel food was liked by the whole family.

Both Father Zhou and Mother Zhou enjoyed it very much. Stir-fried cowpea with eggs and a little chili sauce. Delicious combination.

"Yummy, really yummy." Little Su Cheng had his face buried in the bowl and repeatedly remarked.

"Since it's yummy, I'll make it next time." Lin Qing He smiled.

She turned to Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai was also satisfied with his meal. He loved spicy food. He mixed in a spoonful of chili sauce, which made him a little sweaty.

"Eat slowly." Lin Qing He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

Da Wa and his brothers started wiggling their brows.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife and said, "Make it again tomorrow."

"Alright." Lin Qing He readily agreed.

"Mother, Cheng Cheng said it's yummy and you said to make it next time. Who knows when next time is. Father said to make it tomorrow, you agreed without a second thought." San Wa pointed out.

"Then are you going to eat or not?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Eat!" San Wa responded.

Both Father Zhou and Mother Zhou laughed. This meal was truly satisfying.

After finishing, there was still a big watermelon waiting. After a busy day, it was really comfortable to be able to rest now.

The bricks and stones in the yard had been watered. It was dry now. The former heat had disappeared. Placing down the summer mat, the children would get on and roll and rest. It was extremely comfortable.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were on another mat, not sharing with these mischievous monkeys.

About half an hour after the meal, Lin Qing He sent Da Wa to cut the watermelon.

The whole family talked and laughed as they ate the watermelon. After a short break, they then went to take a bath.

Around nine o'clock, the children were all asleep. They were so tired, it was natural for them to got to bed earlier.

Zhou Qing Bai fed the pigs. After that, he went back to the room to find his wife to go swimming.

Lin Qing He didn't plan to go. She said, "I washed my hair today. Go by yourself."

This man loved swimming, especially in the summer. Every so often, he would call her to go with him.

Lin Qing He sometimes joined in and sometimes not.

Seeing that she didn't want to go, he went by himself.

However, he returned late that night. He departed after nine o'clock and would usually come back around 10:30. However, when he came back today Lin Qing He had already fallen asleep. When she checked the watch on the Kang's head, it was almost 12.

"Where did you go?" Lin Qing He yawned and asked.
