Zhou Jianren and Liu Ailing ran out of Zhou Bin's house in a panic. They returned home with dejected faces, like defeated chickens.
"Dad! We suffered a great loss today! Zhou Bin, that beast, actually dared to scold us in public!" Liu Ailing said angrily.
"Damn it! I don't know why he got better! And he even got so much pork. God is really blind!" Zhou Jianren was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
Liu Ailing said unwillingly: "We ran over, but we didn't get to eat the pork and we were scolded. I was so angry!"
Zhou Jianren cursed with a dark face: "Eat! You only know how to eat! Who wants that rotten pork! He's lucky this time! I'll see him finish the pork, what will he eat then! They won't starve to death!"
Liu Ailing also said fiercely: "Yes, Zhou Jianming has sold all the wheat. I wonder what they will eat! If he comes to beg us, I will spit in Zhou Jianming's face!"
Zhou Jianren waved his hand and said, "Go! Let the third daughter-in-law roll noodles for us! I want to eat some noodles today! They'll be so greedy!"
Liu Ailing muttered, "What's so good about noodles? Pork is still the best!"
Zhou Jianren glared at her and said, "What are you talking about?" Liu Ailing was so scared that she ran out in a hurry.
On the other side, Zhou Bin asked everyone to continue eating the meat, and soon everyone had finished eating the meat.
Zhou Bin smiled slightly: "Everyone has finished eating? Then I'll tell you something, everyone is willing!"
No one knew what Zhou Bin was going to say, and they all stared at him in a trance.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I have been ill for a long time. My father sold all his grain to pay for my medical treatment. Now we have nothing to eat. It just so happens that these porks are freshly slaughtered, and we can't eat them all. If anyone wants to eat pork, you can exchange it with grain. One pound of meat for five pounds of grain, which can be regarded as everyone helping us."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Liu Junyi spoke first: "Is this a good thing? My family has plenty of food, I will exchange it for two pounds of meat first."
When Zhou Bin heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay! Uncle Liu, I'll cut the meat for you right away!"
Liu Junyi turned around hurriedly and went home to stock up on food.
Liu Genshe took one look and said, "Change it to three pounds for me, too!"
Wang Haichao asked timidly, "Can I exchange it for one pound?"
Zhou Bin nodded and smiled: "Okay, even half a pound is fine."
When everyone saw this, they all went home to pack up food in order to exchange it for meat.
Zhou Jianming, who was standing by, was stunned. His son's idea was great! This way, they would have food to eat.
Zhou Jianming came to his senses and hurried to find a scale to weigh the meat and grain.
Li Nan didn't expect Zhou Bin to have this skill. He was immediately overjoyed and said softly, "Brother Bin, you are so smart!"
Xiaohua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Dad, can we eat white steamed buns now?"
Zhou Bin smiled and touched his daughter's head: "Yes! From now on, we will eat white flour buns every day!"
When Xiaohua heard this, she jumped up happily: "Oh! Xiaohua is so happy! Dad is so awesome!"
Zhou Bin kept about 20 kilograms of pork for his family and planned to exchange the rest for food.
Soon, Liu Junyi brought back ten kilograms of food. Zhou Bin weighed the meat for him quickly, and Liu Junyi went home with a satisfied look on his face. He wanted to make a steamed bun with meat for his two grandsons.
Then it was Liu Genshe who brought 15 kilograms of wheat, followed by Wang Haichao, Aunt Zhao, Wang Quanwa, Zheng Deming, and Haiquan's wife.
In a short while, all the 200 kilograms of pork were exchanged. Looking at Zhou Bin's yard, there was a pile of wheat, weighing more than 1,000 kilograms.
Zhou Jianming looked at the pile of barley in front of him, as if in a dream. He kept saying, "Oh! This much barley, it's enough for us to eat for a while!"
Xiaohua was so happy that she ran around the wheat pile and shouted, "We have wheat to eat. Dad is so great!"
Li Nan's smile never stopped. She looked at the wheat pile in front of her, and her voice trembled with joy: "Bin... Brother Bin, with so much wheat, we don't have to worry about it anymore."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Let's take a break first, then put the wheat into bags and put them in the kiln."
Zhou Jianming waved his hands repeatedly: "Why are you still taking a break? I'll install it for you, you just take a break."
Seeing his father's excitement, Zhou Bin said with a smile: "Well, let's pretend together!"
Several people got busy and it took them a long time to pack all the wheat. There were more than a dozen snakeskin bags in total.
Zhou Bin then left two bags of wheat and transported the rest of the wheat and his father into the kiln for storage.
After the wheat was stored, Zhou Bin fetched some water, washed his father's hands, and then said, "Dad, you must be exhausted. Take a rest."
Zhou Jianming ran back to his room with a happy look on his face. After a while, he came out with a box of cigarettes in his hand.
Zhou Bin took a look and said with a smile: "Dad, when did you still have this cigarette?"
Zhou Jianming smiled and said, "This is a good cigarette. Your uncle Yiming gave it to me. I have never been willing to smoke it. Come, try it and see how it tastes."
Zhou Bin took the cigarette with a smile. This was the most famous cigarette in their area, "Monkey Stick", also known as "84 Monkey".
My father took out all these cigarettes today, which shows how happy he is.
So Zhou Bin took the opportunity to say, "Dad, you see, we can still live the same even without Uncle and his family. You don't have to worry about them anymore. As long as I am here, our family will have no worries about food and drink, and things will definitely get better and better."
Zhou Jianming looked at his son, and it seemed that in an instant his son had taken on the responsibility of the entire family. He felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, Dad will listen to you and won't have any contact with them in the future." Zhou Jianming said with a smile.
