[Part 1] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 12

"Fourth Sister-in-law given it." Third Sister-in-law explained.

It was almost six o'clock at this time, but the sky was still bright. Now the sky can start to dim around half past six.

So Third Sister-in-law took out the cloth and cotton.

Zhou Qing Sen understood then. Fourth's wife wanted to make clothes: "Isn't she able to make clothes by herself? How can she bear to give you two pounds of brown sugar for you to make it?"

"She doesn't know how to make it for Da Wa and the others. So naturally, it can only be brought to me to make it." Third Sister-in-law's hands started moving as her mouth clarified.

Toward her own skill, she was still very confident.

"She is using such a good cloth and cotton to make winter clothes for Da Wa and others?" Zhou Qing Sen was really surprised.

"In the end, she's their biological mother. And what's more, the brothers really don't have any cotton-padded clothes this year," continued Third Sister-in-law.

"Mother, when do I have new clothes to wear?" Zhou Wu Ni looked at the cloth and cotton with an envious face.

She actually wanted to be Fourth Auntie's daughter, because Fourth Auntie's life was really good. Da Wa and the others didn’t need to pick up cow dung to earn work points or even collect wheat ears in the field. Every day they got to play.

"Mother had looked for you. These cloths and cotton will have leftovers after I finished the brothers' set. And Mother still has some leftover cloth saved. When the time comes, add that bit, and I'll have enough to make you a new jacket." Third Sister-in-law said.

"Then Mother, hurry up," Zhou Wu Ni excitedly cried.

Then Zhou Qing Sen remarked: "You have such a big belly, she still makes you make clothes."

"It's cause she saw I got a big belly, otherwise why can she bear to give me two jin of brown sugar? It looks top-quality. The last set I was asked to make it for Da Wa and his brother is what the brothers are currently wearing for autumn. She gave me three eggs then," said Third Sister-in-law.

Mother Zhou didn't confiscate the two jin of brown sugar, instead, let her store it. So Third Sister-in-law was especially satisfied with this.

Brown sugar was a scarce product. And it was two jin.

Zhou Qing Sen didn't say anything. His wife wasn't afraid of getting tired, instead, she was delighted.

People in this era were keen on saving kerosene. After all, the supply was limited every month. So they went to bed early.

It was only eight o'clock, and Mother Zhou and Father Zhou went to the Kang to sleep.

Mother Zhou mentioned about today's affairs: "Fourth's wife invited me to eat a bowl of egg and lean pork today."

"Since she gave it, eat it." Father Zhou was tired. He earned ten points and was very exhausted.

"Those fabrics and cotton are good conditions. I thought she was going to make it for herself. Didn't expect it is for Da Wa and his two brothers," Mother Zhou continued.

Today, she didn't work, so she just heard the villagers said fourth's wife went to the market again. Only then did she go to see the brothers. She heard that she came back with a big package.

Two jin of cotton and fabric were really enough for a big package. She never expected it was bought for her three grandsons.

"She's the brothers' mother. No matter how bad she can get, they all are meat that fell from her stomach." Father Zhou was sleepy but still responded.
