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...
After moving the things into the yard, Zhou Xiang and his mother laughed heartily. It was great! On the first day, he found an excuse to beat someone up, to give her a lesson. And someone even set off firecrackers to celebrate the housewarming!
While his mother was visiting the house, Zhou Xiang fed two eggs each to Da Huang and Xiao Huang.
After bringing everything into the house, the mother and daughter changed all the door locks before going out to buy things.
Big Yellow and Little Yellow guarded their new home and marked everything.
Two carts of things were pulled into the North East Lane of the city, including bedding, pots, pans, and bowls. Although the original owner had pots, pans, and bowls, Zhou Xiang felt that they were unhygienic, so he bought new ones. The bedding should be new, including the mats.
When Zhou Hua came over, Zhou Xiang directly pulled him to wash the dishes.
After everything was packed up, it was already afternoon. Zhou Xiang went to report with his schoolbag on his back. "Third brother, here are the coal book and coal tickets. Take them to buy coal. Spend as much as you can, as long as you are quick."
"Okay! Don't worry!"
"Master Ma Gua will come tomorrow, and I will take the afternoon off."
"good!"
When Zhou Xiang reached the entrance of the alley, he met Ling Ran, who had come looking for him according to what his father had said.
Ling Ran was also familiar with this place, and the address was familiar. He had never been here before, so why did the little girl buy this place? Ling Ran was very puzzled.
However, when I saw her coming out with her schoolbag on her back, looking relaxed, I no longer felt conflicted.
It is impossible for the little girl to like the boy from the Shi family anymore. She must have her own ideas and plans for wanting to live here.
"Ling Ran? You haven't gone back yet?"
"Leaving tomorrow, are you going to report?"
"OK!"
"I'll go with you!"
"OK!"
Zhou Xiang was in a good mood and told Ling Ran about the battle with the Shi family in the morning.
So Ling Ran understood why the little girl bought the house here. She was obviously looking for trouble to vent her anger!
"How about bringing all the meatballs here? What if there are others in the Shi family? Two isn't enough."
"Yeah! If our house is demolished, Rourouqiuqiu will have nowhere to live. Zhuhang's building is not suitable, and there are two pregnant women! Bringing them here for fighting is great."
Ling Ran looked greedily at the little girl who was smiling happily.
Ran Qiming waited until all the flowers had withered before Zhou Xiang finally arrived.
"You're finally here? I thought you were taking a day off when school started?"
"You should change your career and become a fortune teller. You're very accurate! I'm taking two or three days off. My family is moving, and I'm almost too busy."
Ran Qiming really wanted to slap himself twice, calling him a quick-witted person. "Moving? Isn't the Water Conservancy Bureau your home?"
"It's my house, but my family bought a bigger yard, so..."
Ran Qiming was helpless. "Okay, I'll leave the textbooks and food coupons for you."
After registering and writing a leave note, Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran left.
"Him? Is it Ran Qiming?"
"It's him. Who knows what's wrong with him? He insisted on coming to Huai County to teach, and he insisted on being my homeroom teacher."
Ling Ran could guess that Ran Qiming came here eighty percent for the little girl beside him. The little girl was indirectly helping him. In his previous life, he made a big mistake and was dismissed, which made Professor Ran so angry that he had a stroke.
The two men returned to the East Lane in the north of the city, and saw two donkey carts parked at the door unloading coal.
Zhou Xiang put down her schoolbag and was about to move the coal briquettes, but Ling Ran held her back and said, "You do something else, I'll go help."
With Ling Ran's help, the speed of unloading coal briquettes increased.
Zhou Xiang looked at the coal briquettes that filled up half of the kitchen and asked his third brother helplessly, "Why did you buy so many at once?"
"I bought it with the money and coal coupons you gave me." Zhou said innocently.
"I understand. I'll give you the exact amount next time."
Zhou Hua laughed, "Okay, I'll learn my lesson this time."
It was getting dark, and Ling Ran said he wanted to go back to the town.
"Are there any buses available at this time? Aren't you leaving tomorrow? Why are you going back?"
"I stopped a passing car and took a ride. I haven't even taken my belongings yet! And I'm walking with a colleague."
Zhou Xiang then remembered that he came here empty-handed. He had been busy these past few days and felt a little dizzy.
"It's just right. I'll go back with you. I won't feel at ease if I don't check on my family. The Zuo family is also moving in."
Zhou's mother asked, "Are you not waiting for your jacket?"
"I'll be back tomorrow morning."
"Alright! You can give Ling Ran a visit as well."
The young man worked very hard to pursue his daughter, and he always rushed to do any work that came his way.
Ling Ran smiled, revealing his big white teeth.
"Okay! Third brother, help mom."
"knew."
With Zhou Xiang, it was no longer just a matter of stopping passing cars. When they arrived at a place where private cars gathered, Zhou Xiang spent five dollars and chartered a Xiaofeihu. The fares for any passengers he brought along were paid by Zhou Xiang.
The driver was very happy. Normally, a trip only costs three dollars, but this time it was doubled.
However, the driver regretted his decision halfway because Zhou Xiang had already collected three yuan. When they arrived at the market town, Zhou Xiang collected four yuan, which means that she spent one yuan to rent the car.
It's never been like this before. Before, when it was almost dark, it was almost like an empty trip. But today, why is it different? The whole route is filled with passengers, getting on and off almost constantly.
Zhou wanted to wave the money in his hand in front of the driver before leaving.
Seeing the driver's downcast face, Ling Ran patted his shoulder comfortingly, "People are different."
The driver muttered quietly, "You might as well not comfort me!"
Ling Ranzhui thought to himself last week, "Think about it, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and my vacation can only be arranged during the winter and summer vacations. If you have something to say, call me. If you don't have anything to say, write to me. Our favorite thing is to receive letters and emails."
"Then I won't see you off tomorrow. Have a safe trip. As for letters and emails, it's up to you to decide how you feel."
Ling Ran didn't force it. It was enough for her to say these words. What if she was in a good mood?
"Okay! Goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
Zhou wanted to turn around and leave, but Ling Ran waited until she was out of sight before striding back home.
When we got back to Zhou's house, everyone was having dinner.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, take a bowl and eat." Zhou's father said it quite quickly.
Zhou wanted to wash his hands, so Zhou Niao quickly went to serve food to his sister.
"Sister, the meal is ready, come and eat!"
"Hey! Thank you, big brother."
"Sister, eat."
"Hey! Eat, eat. Zhenzhen should eat more too. She'll look better if she gets fatter."
Zuo Zhen nodded, "Okay, I'll eat when I'm hungry, and I'll eat a lot."
"Yeah! That's right."
After dinner, Zhou wanted to tell Zuo Heng that the house at No. 1 Middle School had been arranged, and as for the Water Conservancy Bureau, he just needed to find time to get his clothes and toiletries back.
"Then, shall we go back to the county town tomorrow?"
"By the way, has the household registration book been delivered?"
"It's been delivered. The director sent it."
"Okay, then you guys move over! You're a bit uncomfortable living here."
"Brother, let's move the bedding on the kang. You can move your bedding from the Water Conservancy Bureau to the No. 1 Middle School."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay!"
It also saves the trouble of taking it apart and washing it, as it dries slowly in winter.
