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

Chapter 340 Embarrassed



"Don’t worry. This salary isn’t low. You haven’t treated anyone badly." Old Madam Xu responded.

At this time, the wage level wasn’t normally high, even if this was the capital. The gap between the rich and the poor in the country wasn’t that large at the moment. For example, the job that Uncle Ma gave to his son Ma Cheng Min was only 40 yuan a month.

Originally, Lin Qing He planned to set a higher level for the small workshop. She had to be concerned about her employee. This year, Aunt Ma’s salary was only 30 yuan.

Moreover, it wasn’t too good to have such a large difference in salary between neighbors.

So it was set at 30 yuan. She would increase it together later.

She also talked about the working hours with old Madam Aunt Xu. Only then, she let her find people. It wasn’t urgent. The small workshop officially opened the day after tomorrow.

Enough time for old Madam Xu to find people.

After doing these things, Lin Qing He bought a few ice creams and came to the clothing store to eat with Xu Sheng Mei, Hu Zi, and Zhou Er Ni.

"Sheng Mei, have you studied?" Lin Qing He asked Xu Sheng Mei.

Xu Sheng Mei embarrassedly answered, "Aunt, I can’t grasp it."

Lin Qing He didn’t say anything. Eldest Sister didn’t let Xu Sheng Mei study, so Xu Sheng Mei couldn’t recognize more than a few words.

So she had told Xu Sheng Mei to follow Er Ni and learn to recognize words. That way, there will be room for improvement in the future.

But she, herself didn’t want to learn. Lin Qing He didn’t do anything about it. She turned to Hu Zi and Zhou Er Ni: "You two will start school this season. You’ll join the evening classes."

"It’s fine for Sister Er Ni. But do I have to too?" Hu Zi said as he rubbed the bad of his head.

"Both of you have to. Er Ni enrolls in accounting. You can also enroll." Lin Qing He stated.

Whether it was one duck or two ducks being released, it was still releasing. Naturally, she will let them both learn.

"I’m not as smart as Sister Er Ni. I’m afraid I won’t understand." Hu Zi scratched his head.

"Do you want to develop? Do you want to stay in the capital in the future?" Lin Qing He questioned, "Do you think you can keep staying in a place like the capital with your current education in the future? If you don’t study hard and strive for progress, you will have to be eliminated and go back home."

It was plain for all to see in the future that the capital city in later generations is terrible. It wasn’t a place to believe in tears.

Even if one had the upper hand now, they still have to develop.

Hu Zi sighed and said, "Then I will go and study."

"If you go, you have to study hard. I’m sponsoring your tuition. You got to do well." Lin Qing He educated, "You find it bothersome now, but you will know the benefits later."

After learning accounting, even if they don’t become an accountant, people will become smarter and more careful. Which was beneficial in the future.

Xu Sheng Mei pursed her lips, and said, "Aunt, what should I learn?"

Lin Qing He looked at her: "You don’t know any words, so how can you learn it?"

Although Hu Zi and Er Ni had only studied a few grades, Lin Qing He had consciously trained them. Now they know a lot of words and basic knowledge. They won’t be clueless when listening to the classes.

She had started another group study, so they can grasp it.

But Xu Sheng Mei didn’t know a single character. How can she go to school?

"If you want to learn, you can learn to read with Er Ni. Once you can read and write, I will also let you go." Lin Qing He said.

Xu Sheng Mei sighed softly.

She didn’t really want to study but seeing her cousins both advancing and she was the odd one out. She couldn’t fall behind.

So she nodded.

Lin Qing He remained quiet. If they were willing to learn, then she would definitely support their progress. But if they didn’t want to learn, she can’t force them.

Towards her three sons, she had no reservation. While these nephews and nieces were separated by a branch and cannot be lumped with them.

Classes will start in one week.

Zhou Er Ni and Hu Zi were a little nervous. After all, this is the capital. Attending evening classes in the capital made one slightly excited and anxious.

As for Xu Sheng Mei, Lin Qing He can see she really disliked studying. Hu Zi and Er Ni both had their heads in books. Hu Zi, who can’t sit still, try his best to sit down and study. While Xu Sheng Mei helped Zhou Er Ni clean up once they got off work and finished dinner. Then she went over to her grandparents’ place.

Why? Naturally to watch TV.

Lin Qing He didn’t stop her either. After all, she had finished her job and she didn’t want to learn other things.

Lin Qing He’s small workshop was opened without Father Zhou, Mother Zhou and the rest’s knowledge.

She left it to old Madam Xu’s management. She and Zhou Qing Bai were responsible for checking and accepting the final products. Because it was their own small workshop, Lin Qing He also took out some new clothes from the south.

She got old Madam Xu and the other nine skilled workers follow its design.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni were going back this day. Lin Qing He gave them a tape recaorder and several English tapes.

"Take it home. When you recite every morning, you can listen and repeat more." Lin Qing He said.

As for the other things, she let them take notes and paperwork left from Zhou Xuan’s college entrance examination back. It was because this year Lin Qing He did not plan to go back to celebrate the New Year. At this time next year, Zhou Yang and Wu Ni are both going to take the college entrance examination.

She also brought them some food and then sent them to the station.

Lin Qing He started her lectures a few days later. She received a call at the office from old home saying they reached home.

Eldest Sister-in-law said on the phone: "You didn’t need to give them such a valuable thing like the tape recorder."

"Let the two of them listen, repeat more, and study hard. When the college entrance examination is over next year, they can come to the capital for a vacation." Lin Qing He said with a smile.

Then she reported Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s safety and then hung up the phone.

Both Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law to Lin Qing He for the cultivation of the next generation of the old Zhou family. They were naturally aware of it.

It was just Second Sister-in-law. Ever since she saw the tape recorder that Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni brought back, she acted like nose wasn’t nose and eyes weren’t eyes since her family didn’t have a share.

Second Brother told her off that night: "What’s the matter with you? Did Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law offend you?"

They all lived in the same place. Second Brother was dying from embarrassment.

His wife was giving attitude. Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law didn’t offend her. Wasn’t this going to put everyone on the spot?
