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...
"Don't worry about her! Let her be arrogant. You must bring the gift money, otherwise it will give people something to talk about. Besides, I also want to wish Wei Juan and her husband a long and happy life together!"
Tang Min always felt that this statement was a bit strange and ironic.
"How many do you plan to take?"
"My mother-in-law said two yuan, and everyone basically says the same amount."
Zhou Xiang took out five yuan and handed it to her, "Give me five yuan, and make sure you wish the bride and groom a long and happy marriage!"
Tang Min took the money and said, "Okay! Don't worry!"
When she entered her yard, Zhou's mother asked her who she was talking to outside?
Zhou Xiang repeated what Wei Juan's mother and Tang Min said.
Mother Zhou nodded and asked, "Why did you come back?"
"I found it difficult to get it done in Huai County, so I went out to find someone to do it after the holiday."
"That's good! After the holiday, you can go out without worry."
When Zhou Niao came back and saw his sister, he felt strange and wanted to tell her to wait until after the holiday to do the business.
"Oh! That's perfect. You can practice your routine. Let's take a look."
Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng came back and asked the same question, and Zhou Xiang answered with the same excuse.
When it comes to the eldest brother's proposal, everyone agrees and says they want to have a sneak peek.
As a result, everyone burst into laughter.
Zhou Xiang pouted and looked at the people who were laughing so hard that they were bent over backwards. "Is it funny?"
Zhou Niao was the first to stop laughing and comforted her sister, "It's not funny. I'll sing with you!"
"good!"
The first time, Zhou Niao couldn't find his sister's tune. The second time, Zhou Niao tried to hold his sister's tune. The third time, Zhou Xiang's tune was held by his elder brother and stopped running around.
"Oh! You might as well ask Big Brother to perform with you! Otherwise your tune will be all over the place."
"I don't know if adding people is allowed."
Zhou Niao waved his hands and said, "I won't go. I'm scared."
However, Zhou Xiang saw a hint of longing in his eyes.
The next day, Zhou went to the office to find Ran Qiming to cancel his leave.
"How bizarre! I didn't expect you to come back early to cancel your leave!"
"My affairs are difficult to handle. I plan to take leave starting from the 3rd after the holiday. My return date is undetermined. I will cancel my leave when I come back."
Ran Qiming slapped the table and asked, "Do you have any sense of being a student?"
"You mean, since I'm no longer a student, I don't need to be under your control, right?"
"Stop, stop talking nonsense, stop imagining random things. I'll grant you leave, but you have to make sure you still get full marks on all subjects on the midterm exam."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I can't do music, art, and physical education. As for the other eight subjects, I'll try my best. Can you please ask for first place in the grade instead of perfect scores?"
"That's fine! As long as you guarantee to be first in the grade in the midterm exam, I'll have the confidence to report to the higher-ups."
"Okay! I promise you'll tell me."
"There's something wrong with that!"
"You have a problem with your thinking! I'm just continuing what you said."
"Okay, let's go back to class!"
The person who was most happy that Zhou Xiang came back was Xiao Chunmei. She pulled her aside and asked her questions for a long time before taking out her homework and asking her.
After school at noon, Zhou Xiang followed Xiao's family and said, "Uncle Xiao, Auntie, Xiao Chunmei and I need to practice the chorus. Let her come to my house at noon these few days to practice, and then we will go directly to school."
Father Xiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's time to practice, go!"
Xiao Chunmei had just entered the house for a few minutes when she was dragged away by Zhou Xiang.
"You followed me home, just for this?"
"Well! I was afraid you wouldn't dare to speak."
"No, my dad has changed a lot now. He's not as stubborn as before. Thank you too. I don't know what you said to my parents, but they have indeed changed a lot."
"Between us, you're welcome!"
What did I say? I simply told them that layoffs were inevitable, a necessary part of national development. In a few years, the system would be transitioned from formal employment to a contract-based one.
They believe that they have strong skills and are willing to stay in the factory, waiting for future employment.
If you are unfortunately laid off, you can invest in them to open a store.
They didn't believe it, so he brought up his uncle's title from the Long family, a diplomat and translator, who had just been promoted and it was reported in the newspaper.
They didn't believe that I had the money to invest in them, so I drew some building design drawings for them myself to express the vital role of aluminum in building windows.
Xiao's parents pointed at the design drawings in surprise and said, "This, this building is being built right to the north of our factory!"
"Yes! I designed these few drawings. I will be given two houses in the future. Technology is always a treasure."
Only then did Xiao's father and mother believe that they had the ability to solve his family's difficulties and that they could invest in them. Without the pressure, they naturally felt relaxed and became more friendly.
When Xiao Chunmei arrived at Zhou's house, she was still a little embarrassed. She handed the two large cabbages given by her parents as a gift to Zhou's mother.
"Hello, Aunt Jiang! This is your first time visiting, and my family really can't come up with any gifts, so I just brought two large cabbages."
Mother Zhou took the cabbage from her hand and said, "Oh! This is great. We just need it. But you are not allowed to bring anything with you in the future. Just come and play."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhou Hua greeted him very friendly, "Hello! My name is Zhou Hua, Zhou Xiang's third brother. You can call me by my first name, or you can follow my lead and call me Third Brother."
Xiao Chunmei looked at the elegant and handsome boy in front of her, her cheeks slightly reddened. "Hello, Zhou Hua! My name is Xiao Chunmei."
Zhou Niao also imitated his third brother, "Hello! My name is Zhou Niao, my sister's eldest brother. You must call me big brother, not my name."
Zhou Niao didn't say anything, and Xiao Chunmei didn't know that he was Brother Zhou Xiang. He was 1.8 meters tall, with straight eyebrows and a high nose bridge, which made his eyes look deep and charming.
The three-dimensional face and brown eyes give her a foreign look.
He is the most handsome one among these people, what a pity.
"Hello, big brother!"
"Okay!" Zhou Niao nodded with satisfaction.
Zuo Heng just nodded, "Hello! My name is Zuo Heng."
"Hello, Zuo Heng!"
During the meal, Xiao Chunmei was embarrassed to pick up the food, so Zhou Xiang and his mother filled her bowl with food, leaving her with no room for food to eat.
Zhou Hua took the initiative to help her take away some food, "Mom, sister, give her a little more, you are too enthusiastic."
Zhou Xiang's eyes moved back and forth between his third brother and Xiao Chunmei. "Okay, we won't pick it up anymore."
Xiao Chunmei smiled at Zhou Hua and lowered her head to eat.
Zhou Xiang stopped picking up food for Xiao Chunmei and secretly stopped his mother from using her chopsticks.
After a few times, Zhou's mother finally discovered that her youngest son would take the initiative to give Xiao Chunmei some food when she was about to finish eating. Then, Xiao Chunmei would turn around and smile at him.
Mother Zhou suppressed the excitement in her heart and lowered her head to eat her meal.
Although the youngest son is not in junior high school yet, he is already thirteen years old. The young boy admires Ai and thinks that the fact that his daughter can bring Xiao Chunmei back home shows that this girl has a good character.
It’s good that the son has become smart so early. In the girl’s previous life, her youngest son remained a bachelor all his life, which is one of the few things that makes her feel guilty.
