Chapter 44. Barred from the room

Sister Mei smiled: "You are so lucky. You didn’t see it. After he came yesterday, many people were enquiring about him."

With that appearance as well as the upright temperament, not any average girl can match up to him. Must say, she saw Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai, and they were really compatible.

A talented man and beautiful woman, no wonder they can come together.

Lin Qing He didn’t care about this stuff and changed the topic. She said, "The sap I gave you last time, is it good?"

"It’s very efficient. My eldest Guzi asked me where I bought it. I said the county city. She also said that the county city did not sell such a good soap." Mei Jie whispered.

Lin Qing He also lowered her voice: "I bought it last time after circling around the black market in the city. That person said that it came from the city. I didn’t believe it. Now I hear this, it might be true."

"That’s no wonder." Mei Jie nodded.

That piece of soap was really good to use. She didn’t want to waste it, so now around half of it was left.

Then she gave pork and ribs and so on to Lin Qing He. And also three jins of kerosene. Although it was spending money, it didn’t cost much. Altogether cost three yuan or so.

However, Lin Qing He bought two jins of apples with the subsidiary food coupon. As for the rest, she didn’t buy anymore. There was still a lot left at home.

Mei Jie asked: "A few jars of honey arrived a few days ago. Now there is one jar left. Do you want it? No subsidiary coupons required."

"What does it look like?" Lin Qing He’s eyes lit up. She knew that the honey at this time was 100% pure honey. The benefits of honey were plentiful.

Sister Mei took it out and showed it to her. The honey was naturally of good quality. A jar was about three jins, but the price was not cheap. Such a jar of honey cost five yuan.

Lin Qing He bought it with no hesitation.

She bid goodbye to Mei Jie and came to the small street again to buy a jin of eggs. They were all sold by a rural person. The eggs were not expensive. She bought a jin for three dimes.

The rest was poured out of the space. Then she went home.

After returning home, Lin Qing He passed the crystallized honey to Zhou Qing Bai: "Put it in the room."

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai put the honey in the room, and then came out to wait for her arrangement.

Lin Qing He had an urge to laugh a little. Did this man treat her as his boss? She took out the meat, bones, and ribs from the basket, and give him the basket: "You put it with the rest."

Zhou Qing Bai did as told.

The reason why she got him to go to Mei Jie yesterday was to display a known source for the meat.

This way he knows where the meat came from in the future.

Lin Qing He chopped the big bone herself, and then put it in the casserole pot. The big bone was stewed with soybeans. This was also very nourishing.

Da Wa and his brothers were over at the old Zhou’s house. There were more siblings over there, so the three brothers usually go there to play. Or they would go to another villager’s house in the village to play.

Lin Qing He didn’t stop them. It was all in her own village, and such a big child should not be kept in restraint. It was good for them to go out and play.

"What are you standing there for? Grab an apple to eat." Lin Qing He saw Zhou Qingbai as soon as she turned around and spoke.

"You, go eat. Whatever needs to be done, I will do it." Zhou Qing Bai came over and said.

Male pheromones radiated from the man, making Lin Qing He’s heart couldn’t help but jumped fast.

"No need to treat me like a wounded person. It’s completely recovered." Zhou Qing Bai stared at her as he spoke.

This gaze was a bit dangerous. Although Lin Qing He doesn’t have much experience, but in the modern social environment, even if she hadn’t eaten big trotters before, how could she not watch the big trotters act on TV?

Lin Qing He chose to ignore his fully suggestive words, turned to start chopping ribs, and said: "Go grab some dry beans and soak them."

"You get it, I’ll handle this." Zhou Qing Bai took the knife in her hand and insisted.

Lin Qing He’s hand was held by him. She was a little nervous and almost struggled, but she forcibly restrained herself.

Putting her effort to fix a relaxed and calm expression, she said: "OK. You do it."

Zhou Qing Bai started chopping the pork ribs. Lin Qing He went into the room, and then patted her chest. What’s happening ah? How can she act like she never saw a man before? Just getting her hand touched by him, made her heartbeat speed up so much!

Maybe it was so long without a man, made her athirst!

After reprimanding herself for a while, Lin Qing He took the dried beans out. These were left after sun-drying last time.

She came over and saw that Zhou Qing Bai was chopping ribs. Must say this man was actually very attractive and manly.

His appearance and figure are impeccable. He was also very attentive to the family. At least Da Wa and his brothers like him very much ...

Wait, why was she thinking about this? She didn’t plan for anything to happen with him.

It was fine to be so peaceful with each other. There was a difference of many years between her and him. Don’t know how many generation gaps there are!

Lin Qing He walked over to soak the dried beans and saw Zhou Qing Bai wanted to chop the other two portions of ribs and fan bones. Lin Qing He blurted: "Don’t chop. Wait until we eat it, then chop it. Otherwise, it will not that fresh."

"Call me when you need it cut." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Lin Qing He saw that he didn’t have any intention to go out. In her mind, she said, the kitchen was only so big, why are you, such a big fellow, blocking around for?

Once her eyes clashed with his, she felt shy and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"The injury is recovered." Zhou Qing Bai stated as he gazed at her.

And?

"Da Wa and San Wa aren’t small anymore. They can sleep on their own." Zhou Qing Bai continued.

Lin Qing He knew what it meant, but it was impossible to return to her room to sleep. She was not the original owner. Nominally she was his wife, and it was only nominal.

Turning around, she started to busy herself: "What not small. Da Wa is only six years old now, and only seven years old after New Year. Now the weather is freezing. I won’t feel reassured to let them sleep by themselves."

Then she began to question herself. Did she overnourished him this recently and let him have sperm swimming to his brain? (T/N:

🤣)

She had known him for only so long and he wanted to enter her kang. No door. Even the window was barred.

Zhou Qing Bai knew that this meant he banned from the room and was a bit dejected. He thought she had completely let go of her intolerances, but now it seems that it was far from it.

Lin Qing He doesn’t care what he thinks. At noon, there were two dishes. The stewed big bone with soybeans and the stewed ribs and dried beans were very tasty.

After eating, was an afternoon nap.

Zhou Qing Bai went back to his own room for a nap. Next door, the mother and sons dozed off.

In the next room, Zhou Qing Bai took off the newly-knitted sweater his wife had given him. He wanted to sigh.

Eat, drink, and shelter. These were all managed perfectly by his wife for him.

But the only thing was that his wife would not let him go back to the room, which made him a bit distressed. Although she was polite to him, he always had a feeling that she was taking care of a guest.

Zhou Qing Bai was lying on the kang, and remained silent for a while before taking a nap.
