In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Zhou wanted to tease her cousin who had already woken up, because she said she was angry because her fourth sister and mother secretly went out to play without her.
"So you want to go out, right?"
Long Xin nodded her head vigorously, "Okay! I'll take you out to play for a while."
Jiang Weifang put a thick cotton coat on her daughter, knowing that she had been cooped up at home for too long and had had enough.
"Don't run around outside, listen to Fourth Sister."
"good!"
Zhou wanted to take her downstairs to play.
Old Lady Liu asked her daughter, "How is it? Did you buy it?"
Jiang Weifang nodded. "I bought it. I bought one set. I bought four sets in one go. I couldn't ask her where she got the money and gold. I even borrowed 10,000 yuan from her!"
Long Chao was also surprised, "Is my eldest sister's family so rich?"
Jiang Weifang shook her head. "I think I can earn it. This kid has suddenly become smart and has his own ideas about everything he does."
Old Lady Liu said, "I know. Your eldest sister said she did some New Year's goods business with someone and even dug out four gold bars from the legs of old furniture. Your eldest brother-in-law doesn't know about this. Think about it, never let him know how much money he has. Just give him enough money to spend normally."
Long Chao smiled and said, "It seems that Xiang Xiang has good fortune. However, it's also good for my brother-in-law to be like this. He has money to spend and doesn't have to worry too much."
Jiang Weifang nodded, "Yes! He didn't use his status as a father to forcibly control Xiang Xiang's money. That's pretty good."
Old Lady Liu looked at the couple and thought to herself: You don’t know how cruel it is to think about it! Zhou Quan did want to do it, but did he dare?
Thinking about how he was completely obedient, the eldest daughter told him about it. Thinking about how he dealt with his father, it was a relief to hear that.
I have also been conquered by Xiang Xiang, and now I live a comfortable life! I have seen that if you follow her, you will get a good result in the end. I hope the same thing will happen to my little girl.
Zhou Xiang took her little cousin downstairs, and Long Xin took her hand and walked out.
"Where are you going?"
"Go watch people set off firecrackers."
"Who's setting off fireworks at this time? Don't go watch other people's fireworks. I'll take you to buy some fireworks, and we'll set them off at home tonight."
"Okay! Okay! I know where I can buy it. I'll take you there."
"Then let's go!"
There were stalls next to the school gate. Zhou Xiang chose the one with a long pole because it was safe and he could set up his stall by opening the window.
After buying the fireworks, Long Xin no longer asked to go out to play and went straight home, "Let's go home and set off these fireworks!"
"Going home is going home. This looks better at night. It's just a little light during the day."
"Okay! Let's go home and play some games!"
"good!"
My cousin is lonely. There are not many familiar people here, and because of her father's health, there are even fewer places where he can take her.
The two knocked on the door and saw a bundle of handheld fireworks. Jiang Weifang quickly took it and asked, "Why did you buy so many?"
"My cousin likes it. I set it off on the balcony at night, facing the river behind us. I told her to watch from the bedroom so she wouldn't get cold."
"Okay!" Jiang Weifang knew that her niece was doing this to appease her daughter.
Children are full of energy. Zhou Xiang felt that this was very true. He now felt that accompanying his cousin was too tiring.
I am not a child.
In the evening, fireworks were set off on the balcony for a long time, and Jiang Weifang and Zhou Xiang took turns setting them off.
My little cousin is a happy child, but she is lonely inside.
On the third day, Zhou Xiang went to the train station and bought a sleeper ticket for the afternoon of the 16th day of the first lunar month three days later.
It's time to go home. Although I've handed over the registration to my future brother-in-law, I'm bored and tired here. My little cousin is full of energy, not everyone can handle it. My uncle's body is not suitable for accompanying her, but she always sticks with him.
Old Mrs. Liu also agreed to go home, saying that her own thatched nest was better than any other.
We gather in a circle upstairs every day, and the space is small, so except for meal times, everyone tries to spread out.
"Think about it! How big is your aunt's yard?"
"It's twice as big as yours, with three main rooms, two side rooms, two east and two west wing rooms, and a courtyard in the middle that's about fifty square meters. It's a standard ancient kouzi-style building."
Old Mrs. Liu felt relieved. She knew that when her little girl went to the capital, she could live there without worry.
"I've told your aunt about your money. I'll give it to you when I get it back."
"Don't take it. I'm not in a hurry. If you have some spare money, mail some to my aunt. She probably has no money left. My uncle-in-law is in good health recently, but spring is the hardest time."
"Yes, yes. I'll send it to her when I get back. No, do you have any left? Lend me two thousand and I'll pay you back when I get back."
"Yes, there is." He rummaged through the travel bag and took out a handkerchief bag.
"Here! Here's three thousand yuan. If you want to keep it, keep more. Tell my aunt that there's no need to worry about the ten thousand yuan. She can pay it back when she has money. I don't need that much. I can just spend a few bucks and get it out."
"Okay, I'll tell her."
I don’t know what Old Lady Liu said to my aunt, but she came back empty-handed.
"Where's my handkerchief?"
"You don't need even ten thousand dollars, but you need a handkerchief?"
"Okay! What you said makes a lot of sense."
The next morning, Zhou Xiang started to go out to purchase things. After going out, he had to bring something back for everyone, right?
In the department store, many things are similar to those in Huai County, so there is no need to bring them.
I didn't make it to Shaolin Temple. My body couldn't handle the winter climb. But I should at least bring some gifts back for my brother, right?
I turned around and went to the bus station. Zhengzhou is only more than 30 kilometers away from here, so I might as well go and take a look.
Two hours later, a thin figure appeared in front of the five-story Zhengshi Department Store, and then a tall figure appeared beside her.
Zhou Xiang frowned, "You know I don't like you. Even if you saw me, wouldn't you pretend not to see me?"
Jiang Weihua put on an innocent face and said, "No! When I see you, I can't help but want to get close to you."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Stay away from me."
Jiang Weihua followed her into the department store without caring.
"What do you want to buy? The things here are so messy and old-fashioned."
Zhou Xiang turned around and glanced at his clothes. "Do you know where there are high-end men's and women's clothing stores and toy stores?"
"Toy store? What kind of toys do you want to buy?"
"It's for teenage boys to play with, so it should be unique."
"Well, I know all of this, but the price is quite high."
"It's okay, take me with you!"
"In the capital."
Zhou Xiang paused and said, "I only have half a day and tomorrow left."
"No problem, I promise to get you back tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, I'll make a phone call then."
Zhou Xiang found a nearby public telephone booth and called the switchboard at his aunt's school.
The round dial makes me dizzy when I turn it.
Finally, the other party picked up, "Hello?"
"Uncle, I'm Long Chao's niece. Could you please run an errand and tell him I won't be back until tomorrow afternoon, and tell them not to worry."
