Chapter 17 Timely Rain
After dinner, Zhong Hui urged Zhong Xiong to take her to buy a car. They bought a Haojue ladies' motorcycle which looked quite new. The price was said to be 2,500 yuan. Zhong Hui adhered to the principle of bargaining when buying things and managed to get the price down to 2,300 yuan. She happily rode it back.
Zhong Hui had ridden Yang Fangqin's motorcycle these days and was quite experienced. She rode all the way back from the town without any fear.
Seeing her mother coming back on a motorcycle, Zhong Linlin spotted it from a distance and ran over to cheer, "Mom, is this our car?"
"Yes, ours. Come up, mom will take you home."
"Hey." Zhong Linlin climbed up quickly and called out to her brother, "Brother, hurry up, let's go back on the motorcycle."
"Here I come." Zhong Xu stopped playing glass beads with his friends and quickly ran over and climbed up.
"Hold on tight." Zhong Hui said as she stepped on the accelerator.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Zhong Hui's smile deepened: "I'll ride my bike to take you to dance class tomorrow."
"Okay, okay." Zhong Linlin agreed without hesitation and felt extremely happy.
Having a motorcycle is very convenient. The next day, Zhong Hui rode the motorcycle to take Zhong Xu and Zhong Linlin to the town, dropped off the two children, and then went to the market to buy vegetables without any delay.
It was the time of year when fruits and vegetables were at their peak in summer. Zhong Hui bought two large bags of vegetables. When she saw someone selling longan, she remembered that the longan was already ripe.
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the big longan tree in front of my house. It had to be cut down because of its location when the house was built.
Forget it. Cutting down the tree could build an extra house of fifty or sixty square meters. Zhong Hui didn't feel sorry for it for a moment and simply bought a few kilograms of longan and carried it back home.
The construction period is tight. According to Zhong Xiong, the main structure must be built within two months, so the workers only have one day off.
As usual, Zhong Hui carried the vegetables and started working in the small shed.
Yang Fangqin and Aunt Meihua came to help not long after.
"Hui, Linlin's get out of class ends at 11 o'clock, right? I'll pick them up when it's almost time." Yang Fangqin said with a smile.
"Aren't we supposed to let them walk back by themselves?" Zhong Hui asked in confusion.
The two children study in town. As usual, they, as parents, do not pick them up. It was only when Linlin went to dance class for the first time that she thought of sending them.
"If Zhong Xu is alone, it's fine. We should let him go for a walk. It's so hot today, and it's too sunny at noon. He'll be exposed to the sun for the whole summer. Don't let our Linlin be tanned into charcoal." Yang Fangqin joked.
It was indeed too hot. Seeing Yang Fangqin's persistence, Zhong Hui nodded.
Looking at the time, when the vegetables were almost washed, Yang Fangqin wiped her hands and rode her bike to pick up Zhong Linlin.
Zhong Linlin was learning to dance in the Red Dancing Shoes. When Yang Fangqin arrived, her class had not yet ended. Yang Fangqin walked to the door of the classroom and saw the little girl wearing a dance costume and dancing with the teacher in a very professional manner. She looked quite pretty.
Little girls should learn to dance. Look, how graceful they are.
After a while, Zhong Linlin finished the get out of class, changed her clothes and left the classroom. Seeing Yang Fangqin at the classroom door, she immediately trotted over and said, "Auntie."
"Our Linlin dances so beautifully." Yang Fangqin praised.
After being praised, Linlin felt a little embarrassed and smiled shyly.
"Let's go, let's pick up your brother." Yang Fangqin pulled Zhong Linlin away.
Zhong Xu was taking extra classes at Teacher Zhang's house, which was in a different direction from the dance class. When I arrived at Teacher Zhang's house, I saw Zhong Xu finishing get out of class and preparing to leave with his schoolbag on his back.
Seeing them, Zhong Xu's eyes lit up: "Mom, you actually came to pick me up today, what day is it?"
Zhong Xu felt strange. He had been taking tutoring classes for a whole week and had been walking back and forth all the time.
"It depends on the day to pick you up. I'm here to pick up Linlin and pick you up at the same time. It just so happens that I want to ask the teacher how you are doing recently." Yang Fangqin said as she was about to walk inside.
Zhong Xu quickly stopped her: "Mom, Teacher Zhang is getting ready to eat. It's not appropriate to go to someone else's house at dinner time."
Yang Fangqin thought about it and decided to give up. "Okay, I'll come early in two days."
Seeing that his mother was not going, Zhong Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so hot today, Linlin, do you want to eat popsicles?" Yang Fangqin asked Linlin with a smile.
Zhong Xu kept winking at Linlin, saying, "Nod quickly, nod quickly!"
Zhong Linlin received it and said crisply, "I want to."
"Let's go buy some popsicles." Yang Fangqin rode her bike and took them directly to the popsicle wholesale department.
Not only did each of them buy a small pudding, but they also put it in a paper box and kept it at home to eat slowly.
The treatment is different if you have good grades, Zhong Xu was very moved. Like his sister, not only does she not have to go to cram school, she can also attend interest classes.
There is someone to pick me up from my interest class, and I can even buy popsicles on the way back. He is nothing like that. He comes in such hot weather that his legs are sore and comes back with sore legs. It's so miserable.
"I must study hard!!" Zhong Xu suddenly shouted while eating a popsicle.
"Then you have to study hard." Yang Fangqin replied without much trust.
Zhong Linlin ate her pudding and believed her brother's words: "Brother, I believe in you. You study so hard, you will definitely get a perfect score in both exams next semester."
Zhong Xu raised his eyes and said, "Sister, you don't have to trust me so much."
Yang Fangqin couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost laughing to tears: "Okay, okay, let's go home and have dinner."
Yang Fangqin brought her two children home. Zhong Hui's meal had just been prepared. The workers set up one table, and the family asked Aunt Meihua to set up another table as well.
"Old Deng, how many days will it take to build the second floor?" Zhong Xiong asked the foreman Old Deng while eating.
"It will take about two days to hit the upper limit." Old Deng had a plan in mind.
Zhong Xiong nodded: "Okay, the speed is okay."
"That's right. We are all experienced. Boss Zhong, you know, we are all hardworking people." Old Deng laughed. Those of them who make money by working are willing to work hard.
"Will it be difficult to start work if it rains?" Zhong Hui couldn't help but ask from the side.
"It's okay if it rains lightly, but if it rains heavily we'll have to stop working." Old Deng sighed. They also wanted sunny days every day.
Zhong Hui looked at the weather forecast and saw that it would start raining the day after tomorrow. The rain was expected to continue for several days, which would delay the construction work for several more days.
The weather forecast was really accurate. It was sunny for two days and then it started to rain. Fortunately, the second floor had just been completed and it would take a few days to be left there. This saved me from having to water it every day, which saved me a lot of trouble.
"The rain came at the right time. After a few days of rain, the lychee trees I planted will definitely survive." Zhong Xiong moved a stool and sat at the door to watch the rain outside. He had never felt that the rain was so beautiful.
Zhong Xiong was very happy. It seemed that God was blessing him.
