Chapter 657: Arrival  

After listening to what Lin Qing He said, Third and Gang Zi felt like their world view had been looted again.

This was simply challenging their world view.

"Gang Zi, you need to be cautious when marrying a wife." Zhou Gui Lai patted Gang Zi on the shoulder and said very sincerely.

Gang Zi nodded very solemnly.

If one was to marry a woman like Zhang Mei Lian, it would really be blood-deep unlucky. It was a family's disaster to marry in such a woman.

"So Xu Sheng Qiang wanted to change himself now?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.

"Give him a chance." Lin Qing He replied.

This matter wasn't discussed anymore. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai prepared to go to bed.

As for little girl, Mi Mi, she went to sleep after dinner today. She was tired from playing.

So far, the little girl was still sleeping with her parents. However, she got her own crib. Still, she was in the same room.

Lin Qing He said to Zhou Qing Bai: "There's only one chance. If he doesn't cherish it this time, don't come up to me with nonsense in the future."

"En." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Initially, he was unwilling to get involved. However, seeing his nephew came out of jail this and had indeed changed a lot, he considered giving another chance.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qing Bai took Xu Sheng Qiang and went to the dumpling shop's side with him. They had to buy a lot of ingredients.

Opening a dumpling shop wasn't an easy task. There were so much to do.

And Xu Sheng Qiang was clumsy. This guy had never done anything like this before. Even though he was from the country, he really didn't know how to do these.

So he needed his maternal uncle, Zhou Qing Bai to teach him.

Thankfully, Zhou Qing Bai got a good temper. As long as he was willing to learn, he won't mind teaching him.

After a busy day at the dumpling shop, he lived directly at the dumpling shop at night, instead of going back to the courtyard dwelling.

Lin Qing He didn't ask more about Xu Sheng Qiang's matter. Gang Zi did ask his maternal uncle.

"Don't know anything. It will take a while before he take over." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

Gang Zi chuckled and said, "Eldest Maternal Aunt severely spoiled him. She didn't let him to do anything. Naturally, he won't be able to do those."

Lin Qing He changed the topic to his stall business. Gang Zi responded: "This year there are a lot more people setting up stalls. I think it won't be that desired in the future."

He had always been selling clothes and was very clear about the clothing industry. This year's business was indeed better than last year as well as profitable. But at the same time, there were a lot more people setting up stalls.

His clothes were supplied by his second cousin sister's husband. They were all top-notch. Both the quality and the style were solid choice. So they sell out better.

But he felt that it would be difficult to keep doing it in the future.

Lin Qing He said, "You can take advantage of the current profitable period and make more money."

It was true that the stall business will become more and more difficult to do in the future. Still, throughout the 1990s, the stall business weren't too bad.

And so far, there was really nothing for Gang Zi do if he was to get into other business. Just keep going on like this for now. The monthly income wasn't worse than opening a shop.

Zhou Wu Ni and Lin Xiu arrived at the dumpling shop in the evening of the next day.

Zhou Wu Ni naturally knew Xu Sheng Qiang. She was shocked when she saw him there.

Zhou Qing Bai was also at the dumpling shop. He saw the two of them coming and said, "Are you hungry? First have dumplings?"

Zhou Wu Ni and Lin Xiu greeted before saying they weren't hungry. Wait until they go home to eat together.

Zhou Qing Bai looked at the time. It was only five o'clock. It was nearly dinner time, so he said to Xu Sheng Qiang, "You keep watch first."

"Okay." Xu Sheng Qiang nodded. He gave a nod to his cousin sister, Zhou Wu Ni and then took his maternal uncle's apron.

After these two or three days of training, ha can at least cook the dumplings despite not being proficient yet. After all, that didn't have much technical content.

Zhou Qing Bai brought Zhou Wu Ni and Lin Xiu over to the courtyard dwelling. Lin Qing He was at home. At this time, they were preparing for dinner.

Seeing both of them, she grinned, "I mentioned you two before going to bed last night. You should be here today."

"Fourth Aunt, it's been a long time since I saw you. Why do you still look so young?" Zhou Wu Ni merrily steeped forward to hug her fourth auntie, and remarked.

"Don't coax your fourth aunt. Your fourth aunt is at this age now. What still young?" Lin Qing He responded with a large grin on her face.

"Elder Sister Min isn't coaxing Third Aunt. Third Aunt, you look the same as back then when I was a child. Nothing has changed." Lin Xiu also said.

This wasn't a superficial compliment. Her third aunt really appeared young. Her mom was younger than her third aunt. But if they stood together, others will definitely say that her mom was few years older than her third aunt.

Zhou Wu Ni's proper name was Zhou Hong Min. Also, meaning she was the Elder Sister Min mentioned by Lin Xiu.

Lin Qing He was very happy to be coaxed. At her age, she would definitely like to listen pleasant words. Especially when she was praised for being young.

"We estimated that you'll arrive today. So we have prepared a lot of delicious food for you." Lin Qing He smiled.

"What delicious stuff is there?" Lin Xiu said with bright eyes.

She liked to eat roast duck. The roast duck in the capital was utmost delicious. When her third aunt went back, she would bring it over. Every time her family ate it, they would reminisce the taste.

"I know you like roast duck, so I have already bought it." Lin Qing He jollily said, "There are others. You'll know when the food is served in a bit. Do you want to take a shower now?"

"I want. I'll go wash up first." Zhou Wu Ni hurriedly replied.

She really can't stand it anymore. They took the train on this hot day and now it feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a shower.

The weather was too hot. Even now, the temperature hadn't dropped much now. She added a scoopful of hot water to a large bucket of cold water. Then Zhou Wu Ni went in to wash. It was simply refreshing.

After she finished washing, Lin Xiu went in. Zhou Wu Ni began to wash her hair in the yard. At this time, Zhou Gui Lai brought Jiang Geng and Jiang Heng back.

"Oh, my sister Min is here." When Zhou Gui Lai saw Zhou Wu Ni washing her hair, he instantly broke into a smile.

"Ah Xiu came too." Zhou Wu Ni turned her head and glanced at him as she smilingly spoke. But when she saw other people, she quickly turned back to what she was doing.

Jiang Heng saw this young woman washing her hair. However due to propriety, he didn't give her much glance.

Lin Qing He lectured Zhou Wu Ni: "It's already this time. Why wash your hair? Can't you wash it tomorrow?"

"I can't bear it. It can still dry tonight after washing it." Zhou Wu Ni answered.

Not long later, she was done. Lin Xiu also planned to wash hers as well, but she was stopped by her third aunt. She was told to get up early tomorrow morning to wash it.

When Gang Zi came back on his tricycle, he washed his face and hands. The family began to eat.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you to Elder Sister Min. This is our god-brother and my parents' god-son, Jiang Geng. This is his cousin, Jiang Heng. He's also from Hai City. Currently learning about the operation of the tea shop." During dinner, Zhou Gui Lai introduced them to Zhou Wu Ni.
