When he got home, it was already past four o'clock, and Zhou Yu was still showing off, trying on clothes and shoes over and over again.

"Sister, you're back? You didn't come back last night." Zhou Niao saw Zhou Xiang first.

"It was too late after visiting Grandpa yesterday, and I didn't have a car. I bought a bunch of clothes this morning, so I sent my third brother's clothes to him. Have you seen the clothes and shoes I bought for you? Do you like them?"

"I like it. The clothes are very nice. I tried them on and they fit me well."

"That's good. If you have nothing to do, go out and play. Even playing cards with boys is fine."

"Okay! Find me some scrap paper."

Zhou Xiang dug out his discarded homework books and handed him two, "Here, take them and fold them!"

Zhou Niao took it, tore off every page of the exercise book, and folded it into square cards, both thick and thin. He folded more than a dozen of them into the two exercise books.

"Sister, I'm going out to play."

Zhou Xiang handed him fifty cents and said, "Don't run too far. You can buy anything you want with this money, but you can't give it to others. You can only spend it on yourself."

"Okay!" He took the money, put a dozen cards in it, and went out to play with other kids.

Zhou Xiang was not worried. His elder brother came back several times a year. He knew all the boys in the yard, and many of them were willing to play with him.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiang with resentment, "Sister, I don't have any pocket money either."

"Brother doesn't even have a watch!"

Zhou Yu immediately covered his watch and said, "Buy him a new one."

"You said it was lightweight, and it's free, right? And there are no watch tickets left. I think your watch, big brother, will definitely not mind a small dial."

"No, no, I don't care. No matter what you give me, I won't say anything."

Zhou Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to her and took out his textbook to review.

The first thing Zhou's mother did after get off work was to find Zhou Xiang and drag her into her room.

"Where did you get so much money? I spent over 700 yuan on clothes and shoes today."

"Didn't you see a large yellow croaker in the yard of the Water Conservancy Bureau last time?"

"That's not enough for what you've made. You still have to support Zuo Heng's kid! Tell me the truth, where did you get the money?"

"Really want to know?"

Mother Zhou nodded.

"I robbed my grandfather."

Zhou's mother covered her mouth with her hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhou Xiang pried his mother's hands apart and sat down at the table. "Really? He had some good stuff. My aunt asked the three Zhou Ying sisters to follow Grandpa because she wanted to find it. In his previous life, he passed away suddenly. When that area of ​​the house was developed, the stuff was dug out of the wall. What a waste! I took it out early and am keeping it for him."

"Didn't he notice?"

"Knock him out! He asked me to go to his room to talk, knocked him out, took it out, dug a hole behind his house and buried it, and then brought Big Brother back."

"You damned girl, are you really that brave? Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? I have the leverage over him."

"So, was his stroke related to you?"

"There should be some. Even with my strength, it was difficult to knock him out! I guess he couldn't find the thing, and then he was angry at Zhou Xing, so that's it."

Mother Zhou looked at her indifferent little girl and sighed, "Fortunately, he lost his voice, otherwise, even your aunt would not give up."

"So what? Does anyone have evidence? Even if Grandpa can tell, I won't admit it. Besides, does he dare to tell? If he does, I will report him. His things are not obtained legally."

"Where's the stuff? If it comes from an illegal source, do you dare to take it out?"

"I dug it out this time and took it to the Water Conservancy Bureau and hid it. I only took out the yellow croaker and kept the others! My grandmother's things were recovered and she asked me to keep them for her. I also hid them at the Water Conservancy Bureau."

Fortunately, I bought a house, and the yard of the Water Conservancy Bureau is a panacea!

Money is earned through space, I can’t tell it, I can only tell a small part of the truth to my mother, because she can’t tell the truth from the falsehood!

Zhou's mother stared at Zhou Xiang's back as he walked out. Her little girl was too violent and dared to knock the old man unconscious at such a young age.

But it also makes me feel relieved. He has the highest salary in the county, but he still insists on asking for food expenses from the boss. Now, all the good things have been taken away by the little girl. Haha, everyone gets nothing.

Zhou Niao came over to call her to eat, and she came back to her senses, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Zhou's father didn't care where his daughter got the money from. As long as she was capable, she could just enjoy herself.

At night, in the space, Zhou Xiang looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and hated Old Man Zhou even more. He took out a few gold bars just in case, and moved all the boxes to the warehouse, out of sight and out of mind.

He took out safflower oil and rubbed the bruises on his thighs. After rubbing with a grimace, he fed the cat, the chicken and himself.

Zhou Niao gradually became cheerful. Every day he helped sweep the floor and fetch water, and then went out to play cards with other children. When he lost all his cards, he would come back to ask his sister for paper to fold.

Zhou Xiang always gave him two notebooks every time. When the used notebooks were gone, he would give him new ones.

"Why do you spoil him? The new notebook hasn't been used yet and you tore it up for him." Zhou Yu was dissatisfied.

"I'm happy. As long as he lives happily, it's fine. There's no point in you being jealous."

Zhou Yu angrily left.

Zhou wanted to go to the street to buy a new notebook, and saw his elder brother happily throwing cards. His refreshing laughter made those who listened happy too!

"Brother, stop playing. I'm taking you to the street to buy things!"

Zhou Niao immediately put away his cards and said, "I don't want to play anymore. My sister is calling me."

He ran to Zhou Xiang and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go buy some candy and melon seeds. Don't you like eating melon seeds?"

"Okay, buy some more so I can put them in my pockets when I go to throw my cards."

"Okay, buy more."

He took his eldest brother out of the family yard, avoided Yang Ji's stall, and headed towards the store.

"Why don't you buy Yangji's?"

“Don’t buy it, it’s not tasty.”

"oh."

Liu Pinli saw Zhou Xiang coming in and wanted to say hello to her, but Zhou Xiang pretended not to see her and thought there was no need to have a close relationship with her.

I bought two pounds of sugar, one pound of sunflower seeds, and one pound of watermelon seeds.

Zhou Niao followed Zhou Xiang, carrying a cloth bag. "Sister, what else are you buying? Aren't you going home?"

"Go buy a notebook. You've torn up all the new ones. Can't you win some cards?"

"They can cut it diagonally, and it will turn over after one cut. I can only smash it." Zhou Niao said in a low voice.

"Okay, that's okay. Just fold the exercise book thinly. Fold it vertically in the middle, cut it in half, and then fold it. It will be thinner and not easy to cut diagonally or hit it."

"Yeah! I'll take it apart and fold it again when I get home."

I bought a workbook and went to the scrap yard to buy some old textbooks, "I'll give you some cards to play with."

Zhou Niao took it happily. His sister bought it specially for him to fold cards.

On the way back, I turned into a hardware store and bought all the tools I needed for the repair.

At the entrance of the food station, Yang Ji stopped him. Zhou Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
